as more sculptures arrive...
As we continue to countdown to Open Studio (a week from today!) our showing partner, Patrick, continues to arrive with (literally) tons of sculpture. We will truly have a sculture garden, if only for a while. He will install a second fountain this weekend.
Oh, and we have sweet peas too! These grown from seeds I saved from last year, originally from 'Enchanting Sweet Peas', a charming little local business (see link at right).

Something really new...!
I came home the other day, & found this in the front yard!
Actually, it wasn't totally unexpected; when we do Art at the Source (open studios) next month, we'll be sharing our yard & garden space with friend Patrick Scott, who does sculptures of many kinds, some including water, & light. This one lights up with 2 colors of neon, which reflect from the center off the shiny insides of the curvy bits. Below are the night shots. Oh, and there's the front of the house, and the smoke bush (with the red leaves), which I love!
Hard to capture at night, of course; and looks different depending on the side you approach.
The red is a bit much on our quiet country street at night...

and kitty too
There I am in my little garden world, with studio building behind me. I'm always trying to get a good shot of the garden furball, but the camera has a delay, and he blurs...
Did you know that rays of sun like this are called 'crepuscular'? Does that seem right to you? Surely we could come up with something more apt.

This iris (as a rhizome) was hand-labeled 'grandma's pink-- ?' at the Graton Community Flower Sale; and I'm guessing, not 'grandma's pink'. Nice, though!
Graham Thomas, a 'David Austin Rose', one of my fave's. We'll have some of his siblings this year, too.

Pink like this is not one of my top rose colors, but this was given to us as a mature bush, and anything as healthy and bloom-happy as this rose is is welcome in our garden anyday.

finally foxgloves
It feels like two years ago I put in a little six-pack of foxgloves, and finally they have bloomed (is *that* what they mean by bi-ennial?).
Now that they're here, I'm wondering, why don't we have more of these? Why aren't they everywhere? Why did it take us so long? I LOVE these. (Iparticularly like this peach-y shade.) I hear they self sow readily, so maybe next year they WILL be everywhere.

Offbeat. Quirky. Are those words you'd use to describe your kid? How about geeky? All good things for a kid to be, but they can present a challenge to a parent: how do you nurture a kid who marches to the beat of a different drummer and make sure they're happy?
It's not nearly as hard as you'd think:
1. Show an interest in their passions -- even if you have to force it. "The biggest thing with kids is respecting their individuality," says Dr. Melissa Dufrene, clinical psychologist with Algiers Neurobehavioral Resource, "Any way you can celebrate that -- not just saying, 'This is what you're good at,' but really make the effort to explore it with them." Something as simple as asking a child, "Tell me what you like about it" can allow you to see something they're passionate about through their eyes.
2. Avoid labels. "Children catch on very quickly if they are perceived negatively or as different, and this can be upsetting even at a young age," warns Dr. Rachel Annunziato, assistant professor for clinical psychology at Fordham University. "In my clinical work, it's not uncommon to hear children say that their parents find them 'weird' or believe they are embarrassed by them. It's ideal if we can find ways to embrace whatever is offbeat or quirky about our kids while also being mindful of what we can do to help them socially."
3. Ask for help. If you have a child who is excelling or highly interested in something that isn't your area of expertise, don't be afraid to ask for help -- maybe find an activity within your school or community. It's good for kids to have outlets beyond the family, and it's good for them to see parents admitting when they simply don't know something or can't do something.
On the flip side, not trying to show an interest or help your child, warns Fran Blumberg, associate professor in the Division of Psychological and Educational Services at Fordham University's Graduate School of Education, may be perceived as a "lack of interest in the child or a devaluing of what the child likes to do."
4. Keep your goals separate from theirs. It can be tempting to push kids into activities and interests that you, yourself, are attracted to, especially when you're raising a child who avoids the mainstream activities you enjoyed as a kid. But how do you know it's right for your child? Dufrene suggests starting out any activity with the goal of having fun only. "It can be pretty clear when your kid isn't having any fun anymore," she says. "If you have to drag your kid somewhere, the goal has really been lost." If they enjoy it, continue. If not, move on.
Most community centers offer short-term programs that are a good starter for kids to see if they have a true interest without being tied into something they dislike for a long period of time. These are generally low cost as well, so parents don't have to commit to a big expense and feel the need to keep a child involved when they're unhappy.
5. Don't be afraid to push them beyond one interest. Kids can get very caught up with one particular interest, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't encourage them to broaden their horizons. "One strategy that I have found helpful as both a child psychologist and as a mother is to try and suggest variations of a theme," suggests Dr. Annunziato. "If your child is focused on princesses, he/she may be interested in puzzles and drawings that also include princesses."
Dufrene also suggests letting kids "earn" rewards, even something as simple as allowing them to earn involvement in an activity they are interested in in exchange for attending a class you feel they would enjoy ... that they might have been hesitant to try.
6. Be proactive. Bullying can happen to any kid -- no matter how mainstream or offbeat they are -- which is why Dufrene says it behooves parents to be on top of it. Ask your kids if they're experiencing bullying, and use examples from your own childhood to get you talking. Often, she says, kids fear telling their parents that they're being bullied because they don't want to disappoint them.
7. Love your kid, if not their passions. Praise and affection should not be tied to success, Dufrene warns. "I think the most basic perspective you can have is ... is your kid happy?" she says. "You can push them in different directions you thought they would go, but in the end, it's up to them."
Do you have a child who is a little quirky? What are your best tips for raising an offbeat child?

Be People's Person- Earn A PG Diploma In HRM
If you are of the view that only securing an MBA in Human Resource is the way out for getting a job under this sector, then it's time to think again. One can now still dream of working in the Human Resource sector without having to invest money and time to earn an MBA degree.
The birth of various HR management courses has proved that this field today is one of the lucrative most fields in the world of business management. No company can think of working without sufficient human capital and at the same time, it is not possible for any business to search and get hold of trained human capital without the help of an HR manager.
Importance Of Earning A Pg Diploma In HRM- Credibility To Consider
An HR manager ir analyst today is responsible for not just headhunting but also attracting, preserving and looking after the day to day management of the employees with high calibre. However, it is due to the growing popularity of MBA courses and the difficulty to qualify the entrance exam for the same that people even with dreams of being an HR manager are failing to meet it. If you too are one among them, a pg diploma in human resource management is what you can think of taking up.
Keeping the growing number of institutions offering courses in HR, it is likely enough for you to end up in confusion with the selection of the best institute to get enrolled for the course. This calls for taking in concern the signs of credibility. The first one here is technical accreditation. Both the course and institutions imparting it need to have international and national accreditation. Of course, this is subject to variation from one country to the other but as a student; you need to be aware of the rules and regulations followed by the governing body of the institution you are thinking of applying.
Payscale And Placement Opportunities
HR professionals get access to good pay scale. And the best part of doing a pg diploma in Human Resource management course is getting access to paid internships and placement opportunities. But not all the institutions offering this course have placement facilities for their students. Hence, it is recommended to get an idea of the placement opportunities before you finalize your decision about any institution. Adding on, also try grabbing details about the faculty and course syllabus.
Final Thought
With all these in concern, you can easily fulfil your desire to make a career as an HR professional.

Jonathan Hoffman Disappears - Its This Blog Wot's Done It!
After the debacle of his skipping down the road arm-in-arm (almost) with Roberta Moore of the Jewish Division of the EDL and then accusing the photographer David Hoffman of 'photoshopping' the picture, which resulted in him having to make a humiliating apology, he then followed this up with a comment that 'When I lie I apologise' (albeit under legal compulsion!) admitting to lying as a matter of course.
Having been forced by the Jewish Chronicle, on whose site he has his blog, to apologise and with the resulting embarrassment of its co-Chair being caught in flagrante with the fascist EDL, Hoffman has clearly been told to lie low or better still disappear.
Yesterday, the counter-protest was mainly an EDL affair, complete with a Spanish and Israeli flag. It seems that the defence of Israel now is being increasingly left to fascists (though a few Zionists did turn up, such as one Martin Sugarman). And that is exactly how it should be. Isn't it right that the open and naked bigots and racists should defend a state that is founded on bigotry and racism?

Jonathan has been absent from the counter-demonstration recently because of family reasons - it is absolutely nothing to do with any of your suggested reasons .
All of the mainstream Zionist counter-demonstrators moved away fro the penned area when the large group of the EDL turned up in order to distance Ourselves from the EDL .
The EDL are an uninvited & unwanted group of interlopers on Our counter-demonstration .

Ah yes. I can remember when Thatcher was about to sack a Minister they usually decided to 'spend more time with the family' as their reason for resigning.
You may say that the EDL are unwanted and uninvited but actions speak louder than words. You were quite happy to have them with you until the embarrassment became too much.
But whereas we physically escorted fascists off our demonstrations when they tried to participate, for some reason the CST only attacks anti-Zionists.
And more to the point why should you dissociate yourselves from them. The EDL demonise Muslims and anyone with a brown skin. So do the Zionists with their regular attacks on 'Muslim extremists' etc. etc.
I'm sorry to hear that 'family reasons' have kept JH away recently. Let's hope he continues to spend more time with his family!

Obviously, Jonathan Have-fun's family live somewhere with no connection to the internet.
A most unfortunate set of coincidences.
How else to explain someone making up pathetic excuses in public on his behalf?
I see Ian's favourite racist regime has only just very recently violently kidnapped and imprisoned, not only two British citizens, but a Holocaust Survivor as well -
Jewish Boat to Gaza - Two Peoples One Future
Presumably the fanatics of the ZF, just like those of the EDL, aren't going to denounce Israel for attacking Holocoaust Survivors.
In fact, Jona-fun Hoffman likes nothing more than to bully and humiliate Holocaust Survivors in public, Nazi-Vienna style, such as Hajo Meyer.
Another unfortunate set of coincidences - the ZF and the EDL approve attacks on Holocaust Survivors for daring to criticise their favourite racist regime in Israel.

For some unfortunate reason I happened to look up the online edition of one of the UK's favourite comics, the Jewish Chronicle, and what did I see but two blog posts by Jonathan Hopeless (recently voted Britian's worst political activist) both dated 29 Sept 2010. This despite excuses by his pal Ian that poor Jonathan was in absentia for family reasons.
Anyway, on one blog posting, Jona-fun promotes his favourite gang of London criminal fences guilty of receiving and handling goods stolen from Palestinians -
ZF: BUYcott from Ahava, London (and get 10% off!): 20-21 November
29 Sept 2010
In the topsy-turvy world of Jona-fun he claims in this blog article -
Every second Saturday, a nasty group of bullies stands outside the Ahava Dead Sea beauty products shop in Covent Garden, London, disrupting trade and chanting anti-Israel slogans. Their aim is to shut down this Israeli business because they believe in boycotting Israel.
- Ask the shop-owners and they say this is true, but about Jonathan and his fellow zionists who are scaring away buisness with their far-right antics.
Apparantly you'll get 10% off at the till if you mention you support the EDL and the ZF. The EDL are all in favour of Nazis looting Jews and the ZF in favour of zionist looting Palestinians (and members of the MV Mavi Marmara flotilla).
Ask any nazi or neo-nazi and they'll tell you how economically useful it is to dispossess racist victims of their goods and wealth - wether it was the Jews of Nazi Germany or Palestinians under the heel of zionist Israel.
Jona-fun does fail to mention his fellow zionist sweetheart, the Brazilian bombshell, Roberta who usually turns up to add glamour and spice to the far-right carnival of bigotry and small-mindedness -
EDL Jewish div July 17 2010 Dudley
Anyway, Ian has claimed on this thread Jona-fun was absent on family buisness but yet it seems Jona-fun has had time enough, during his self-enforced interregnum, and access enough to the internet to hoist two more of his unrelentingly turgid blog articles on an unsuspecting world.
Surely this isn't another of those self-confessed famous Hoffman fibs we all know and love and, for which, Jonathan always apologises for afterwards?

Pro-Israeli supporters in ski-masks aren't just targeting Ahava for special treatment it seems -
EDL prepare files on journalists and photographers
Robert Stewart
30 Sept 2010
This reminds me of what the IDF did to reporters and photographers on the MV Mavi Marmarar flotilla when they targeted them for special treatment too.
I'm sure all these unfortunate similarities between zionists of one far-right groupuscule or another, are all just ugly coincidences.
- 30 September 2010 at 22:35
The truth is that my mother died on 24 September, you mendacious self-aggrandising piece of sh*t.
If you were halfway decent, you would want the earth to open up and swallow you.
But you aren't.
Thank you Ian
- 17 October 2010 at 08:43
You must know by now how wide off the mark is your triumph for being the reason for Jonathan's absence is, and how despicable your mockery of the family reasons is. You must know by now that the reason was that Jonathan's mother died on 24th September.
One would have anticipated that you too would have the decency to make a public apology. That apology is still awaited.

Since I was genuinely unaware of JH's mother dying, I could hardly mock him for 'family reasons'.
But I have nothing to apologise for. JH has danced in joy at the bombing of Gaza which killed 400 children and many mothers. Not a word of regret at the thousands of innocent Palestinians killed, or the use of white phosphorous, or the murderous attack on an unarmed ship.
And, as I've printed before, I have received e-mails from Zionists wishing that my whole family and myself had perished at Auschwitz, so Jonathan Hoffman can fuck off . He is not the only one to suffer a bereavement. Unlike most others though, he spends his time supporting the murder of others and only feels pain when it affects himself.
When Hoffman condemns loyalty oaths, the demolition of a Bedouin village Al Arakabh in the Negev and all the other war crimes, then I shall shed a tear at his pain.
- 17 October 2010 at 23:10
"Since I was genuinely unaware of JH's mother dying, I could hardly mock him for 'family reasons'."
=> Well you didn't bother to find out, despicable scum
"But I have nothing to apologise for. JH has danced in joy at the bombing of Gaza which killed 400 children and many mothers. "
==> Lie
"Not a word of regret at the thousands of innocent Palestinians killed, or the use of white phosphorous, or the murderous attack on an unarmed ship."
==> Lie. Innocent lives lost are always regretted, I say it constantly
"And, as I've printed before, I have received e-mails from Zionists wishing that my whole family and myself had perished at Auschwitz, so Jonathan Hoffman can fuck off . He is not the only one to suffer a bereavement. "
==> Contemptible c*nt

==> Reptile

Jonathan (because I'm polite!)
Was there any reason why I should find out the reason why you couldn't demonstrate with the EDL recently? Would you have welcomed me prying into your family secrets? Most people would have let it be known that for family reasons or maybe a bereavement, they cannot be available for some time.
Instead you broadcast it and then accuse me of being 'despicable scum' etc. etc. Words are cheap and don't hurt but you are actually using your mother's death to try and get one over on political opponents. Do you have no shame? I've said what I've said, that I didn't know about your bereavement, leave it at that.
The way you are fulminating it seems like your love for your mother takes second place to your love for a State.
You rejoice and you know it at Palestinian deaths. Not one word of regret for the actions of Israel in bombing a defenceless population. Not one.
But JH says that 'Innocent lives lost are always regretted, I say it constantly.' Except to JH Palestinians are never 'innocent'.
So continue with your words of wisdom - 'Contemptible c*nt' 'Reptile' and the rest. You only demean yourself if that is possible.
- 18 October 2010 at 20:01
"Hoffman has clearly been told to lie low or better still disappear."
"You are actually using your mother's death to try and get one over on political opponents"
Contemptible shit. You never even bothered to find out why I was not there. If you had any shame you would apologise and ask the earth to swallow you up.
You are lying scum who think snothing of posting lies about me on your blog.
You recently tried to rig the JC poll :
You are a pathetic Trot who is a dinosaur from the days of the USSR. No-one takes you seriously with the possible exception of the deranged loony Fink and the Morning Star. You have no impact on anything that matters. You are plain despicable.
- 18 October 2010 at 20:28
- Tony Greenstein said...
Hoffman is clearly losing the plot.
'You are a pathetic Trot who is a dinosaur from the days of the USSR.'
Does Hoffman always say the first thing that comes into his head, regardless of whether it makes any sense? Trotskyists were murdered in the USSR. Trotskyism was verboten. To therefore call someone a 'Trot dinosaur from the USSR' makes no sense, except to someone who believes that Zionism is not racist and the EDL are good democrats.
I am under no obligation to inquire why Jonathan Hoffman wasn't at a demonstration. I made an assumption which, for once, was wrong. However unlike JH I don't deliberately lie.
- 18 October 2010 at 22:49
Read what I wrote, mendacious slimeball: "You are a pathetic Trot who is a dinosaur from the days of the USSR".
You are both a Trot and a dinosaur from the darkest days of the USSR. The two metaphors are not inconsistent.
Glad you have admitted that you make no effort to find out the truth. That has been patently obvious for many years.
"To assume makes an ass out of u and me"
- 19 October 2010 at 18:07
Mr Greenstein ,
I have just looked again at these comments & although debating with You is tedious & rather pointless here goes :
The Counter-Demonstration has never been happy with the presense of any of the EDL . I know that Jonathan criticised the EDL right from the moment that They started to gatecrash because I was standing next to Him when He did that .
It is not just about embarrassment that We oppose the EDL - as members of The Jewish Community We condemn all manifestations of Racism , Islamophobia ; and Anti-Semitism .
( Jonathan & I both demonstrated in Oxford against Nick Griffin & David Irving in 2007 - I am a supporter of Searchlight & was an Anti-Racism Officer with My Jewish Society at university )
I am well aware of the historical argument about physically confronting Fascists - but We are Counter-Demonstrating at AHAVA to oppose the Boycott campaign
( which is a perfectly acceptable political position ) - We are not there to have a punch-up with the EDL .
We live in a Democracy & You are entitled to Your opinions ( no matter how wrong We believe they are ) - but it completely unfair that You continue to insinuate that We are in sympathy with the EDL - many of us have campaigned against the Far-Right for many years .
- 19 October 2010 at 21:06
- Tony Greenstein said...
Ok Jonathan, I give in. I'm a mendacious Trot, albeit from Cretaceous period not the Soviet one! Happy? Every time you resort to abuse you merely demonstrate that you have nothing to say.
Ian. I'm sure that in the J-Soc you did demonstrate in 2007 against Irving and Griffin. J-Socs often did this to make political points vs Palestinans rather than having any genuine commitment. I can remember the J-Soc at Sussex University many years ago, under one David Cohen if my memory serves me right, OPPOSING No Platform for Fascists and then trying to No Platform me, as Zionists did in many universities and colleges - all of them unsuccessful.
I can't even remember which demonstrations against fascism I attended in 2007 because I've been consistently opposed to racism and fascism for 30 years, including Zionist racism. What I do know is that the J-Soc and Zionists locally have NEVER been active in the fight against fascism locally in Brighton. Just one individual member of a J-Soc who went on to be President of the Union and was a leftish supporter of Mapam got involved.
So JH was uncomfortable about the EDL. Well all I can say is that he got over this pretty quick judging by the photos. Any genuine and since anti-fascist or anti-racist would simply walk off. What you demonstrate is that you consider opposing a boycott of a shop that sells settlement goods, not even from Israel behind the Green Line, is more important than anti-fascism.
That is your choice but it's not one I'd make.

Happy Sunday!
Internet Roundup:: 7.7.13.
Happy Sunday!
I know, Sundays are kind of the best, kind of the worst sort of day. My feeling towards it has mostly to do with the fact that Game of Thrones is off till next season which doesn't start for a while. I'm kind of embarrassed by how much anxiety this gives me, I need to know what happens to the Stark family!
Sundays are kind of my favorite day of the week though. I usually start off by going to church with my family and then we will do brunch/lunch together. I always squeeze in a nap and start getting myself ready for the week. Its the perfect day to unfold from the previous week while planning my schedule for the next usually in pajamas with a large cup of coffee next to me. Whats not to love. So, dear friends, I hope your Sunday is relaxing and enjoyable and hope you like the links I have chosen for today's INTERNET ROUNDUP.
1. I'm a HUGE Harry Potter nerd so I absolutely love everything about THIS ARTICLE. (buzzfeed.com)
2. The couture collections are being shown in Europe right now and I've been checking Vogue.com religiously. So far, I have loved Chanel's show as well as Valentino's but I think that MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA'S collection is just insane. In the best way possible. Love that they continued with the face masks too. I find them super chic. (vogue.com)
3. Free People's PINTEREST PAGE has kept me super occupied these past couple of days. So many great pictures. (pinterest.com)
4. Kinfolk's newest issue is out. I browsed it at Anthropology a couple days ago and think it will be worth purchasing. Take a look HERE. (kinfolk.com)
5. Lastly, this just looks simply DELICIOUS. I need to try and make it. (loveandoliveoil.com)

With so many amazing brands getting off the ground, the story they tell and how they get their name out there is essential. Sydney based PR agency Piccolo PR has helped do just that for some of our favourite kids brands like Incy Interiors, Tutu Du Monde, Goose and Dust and Castle & Cubby. Director Sarah Cichy talks a little about what Piccolo PR strives for...
What inspired you to start Piccolo PR?
The launch of Piccolo was serendipitous actually. For years I wanted to create a specialist agency that caters for Kids and Design and the right opportunity presented itself to me at the right time in my life and I took a deep breath and just did it.
What do you love most about working with Kids Brands?
It fills us with so much joy, so much spirit and so much adventure. We get to work with child celebrities both locally and abroad and have organised photoshoots in remote parts of the world. I also get to work with a lot of mothers who have produced a product and they want me to tell their tale. It's such a special part of my job to help their vision come to life.
What trends do you see emerging in the kids market?
I'm seeing a lot of boho-inspired pieces entering nursery and kid's rooms of late. The popularity of clean and contemporary Scandi style is warming up with macramé and crochet such as Olli Ella's hanging bassinet, which is a little 'untamed' and adds intrigue. It's all about layers, natural materials and an element of the "hand-made." We're also becoming more plush with velvet applications- such as Incy Interior's new Velvet Range. It's bright, bolshy (and yes, I'm biased)- I have a velvet crush! It's a bit lush.
In terms of clothing, we're stepping back in time with vintage- inspired clothes, such as Oishi-m who unashamedly clashes colours and patterns together to create a collection sweeter than Jello!
What advice do you have for someone thinking about launching a children's brand?
Do your numbers. Check your finances and make decisions using a balance of figures and gut feel. Have a clear definition of what success looks like to you so you can map out how you're going to get there. Most of all, have the confidence to back yourself and just give it a go.
What did you want to be when you grew up?
A news reader. Night after night I would sit at the dinner table and rehearse a script to my parents (OMG. I'm blushing. How embarrassing?!).

Milk is very important for a human being as it enhances its intelligence. The capabilities are largely improved by handsome use of it. It provides vitamin D to our body. Milk is a good and healthy diet for you. Getting a noble prize is the dream of a person. Sweden is a country where people take it in a large quantity and they are so brilliant that most of the prize winners are there. Chinese drink 25 kg per person in a year so this number is less in the said country. Swedish citizens drink 300 kg per year per individual so there are more such people. Once the correlation between award winning and chocolates was found but later it was proved that it is not the case. Dairy products can also be used for this purpose because they are they are also prepared with these ingredients. It provides extraordinary growth to us. Hopefully you will like this news and it will assist you in future in some or the other way. Keep on following it and you will see the benefits which will be apparent in your personality. Try to develop the same habit of your children as well because it is their initial stage. All the details are given below in Urdu and you can read it.

AdWords introduces new Price extension
For companies that have simple to understand pricing offers (cost per month, based on a feature spec, etc.), the new Price extension allows advertisers to give details on their costs for the product.
The price will appear in a box with some basic info and users will have the option to scroll through a carousel format.
TJM take: This new extension provides the benefits of a Shopping campaign (customers can review before they click), with the simplicity of search. We think these should get a good CTR for the next month or so while fresh, although the actual conversions will depend on the product/price mix. However, once customers are used to this function it will be very heavily used. Make sure you get them in early!
For the curious, there are a few screenshots here.
Google Shopping enhances customer experience
Google announced that their shopping experience will be enhanced. There a few key elements here:
Firstly, when a customer searches for a 'non specific' term like 'running shoes', they will be shown the shopping adverts as normal. When they click on one, they'll be taken to a showcase page with more options. The advertiser will only be charged when a click is made to their website.
Secondly, Google will allow Shopping adverts to be shown around relevant YouTube videos. The format is very similar to Dynamic Shopping adverts (or Dynamic PLAs), where the adverts follow a user around
Finaly, prices will be automatically converted into local currency. This is useful where you are buying overseas
Search engine land did a good write up on these here.
TJM take: The new Shopping format in point one seems really powerful, and we're looking forward to trying this out with our clients.
We can see the Video adverts taking a while to set up to run, as selecting the videos will be a chore. This is possibly for those with slightly larger budgets…
Creepy or cool in store shopping experiences
As the digital and 'real' worlds start to merge, augmented reality takes off and Pokemons are invading our Green and pleasant land, the brain boxes have been working out how to make the shopping experience richer.
The author feels that the biggest progress would be a shorter queue at John Lewis and clearer exit signage so as to reduce time spent, but he is a cynic and slightly misanthropic. Humph…
The rest of the world seems to think that this greater integration would be good for the shopper. This link has some interesting concepts that are either available or very close to being.
Female professional emojis are now here
For the social junkies out there, we have good news; you can now get all your favourite professionals in female variants. Doctors, Scientists you name it!
It's hard to think how we ever lived without them before….
To bring it back to slightly serous, these will (in principle) all be searchable via Twitter.
More info can be found here.

As the ever-growing catalogue of English-language remakes of foreign films proves, there are many people out there who refuse to watch movies with subtitles. But, if there is ever going to be a subtitled movie that everyone can understand, then this is it.
Gareth Evans, the Welsh director of this Indonesian action movie, has unearthed a truly universal language; the language of violence. Whether you like it or not, people understand machetes in a way they're never going to understand Indonesian, and Evans knows this. He keeps the dialogue simple, but effective, and instead lets the action do the talking.
And boy does it get its point across. You feel every single. Punch. Kick. Stab. Shot. Slice. Dice. And it's absolutely thrilling. Evans remains as light on his feet as Iko Uwais, his lead, and he ducks and dives his camera through the carnage, holding its gaze at just the right moments. It's a truly monumental directorial achievement.
'The Raid' features some of the hardest-hitting, and best, action I've ever seen, and all for $1.1m. That's some kind of miracle if there ever was one.

Llewellyn's Complete Book of Tarot: A Comprehensive Resource
1:00 am 30 June 2016
Do you like Tarots? Do you want to start to read them? Are you curious about one of the most important kind of divination in this world? You read tarots but you want to learn something else?
So, this book
Llewellyn's Complete Book of Tarot - A Comprehensive Resource -
is for you!
Written by Anthony Louis, his author has previously written other books for Llewellyn Worldwide, Ltd. about this topic.
Louis is a great estimator, passionate and of tarots reader since he was little.
Maybe he told in the book, because he studied in a catholic reality where of course this stuff was not seen very well, the little boy started to develop a big curiosity about astrology and occultism, later falling in love for tarots.
In this book Louis will tell us how we should read tarots, with a long story of tarots, born in Italy many centuries ago. A real cult for Italians. Very important families created wonderful, stunning tarots in late 1400 most of them unfortunately gone forever.
Tarots will read Louis will be the one of the common italian playing cards with the four seeds of Swords, Coins, Cups and Wands.
I was a tarot reader and I am still a passionate one although I loved to read this book also because I hadn't never learnt how to read our italian playing cards, the most common ones. I have the Egyptian tarots, the Native American tarots. Being a Sagittarius maybe that's the answer.
Anthony tells that some friends of him have more than 100 different kind of tarots. Wow!
Reading tarots can be more simple for some people than not for others.
What Louis says is that practicing and intuiting what the tarot wants to say to the person in front of us the first condition. We mustn't think a lot. When we have the first intuition we know that it is the one for the person in front of us.
We should be free of every strong emotion when we read tarots, Louis says and our mind open to the divination. We mustn't read tarots under stress. Tarots wouldn't speak.
What the reader should do with her/his client?
He/she must be honest with the client because of course it means also to be honest with the spirits and Superior Entity that are telling to us what it will happen to that person in the following months.
Louis has also written a special Hippocratic Oath for Tarot Readers in this sense.
Sometimes tarots can clarify and help also people in need. In real need of answers. Journaling, keeping track of what the tarots wants to say to us become fundamental. Tarots should be read two times per year and reader should always be paid because a payment means that the reader is a serious person.
An interesting section interests the zodiac signs.
And then: a long long section you will fall in love for all dedicated to the meaning of all the most important Major Arcane and common seeds.
Enjoy it, and start to read Tarots!
Oh: and Happy Journey into the Souls!
Thanks to Netgalley.com! for this book.

Not All Voices are Equal
Just because it's loud doesn't mean it's important. Just because it dominates doesn't mean it's significant.
Voices from music, T.V., entertainment, friends, family, news, books, leaders, etc. all have something to say but who are you choosing to listen to?
Sift through the voices and intentionally choose to listen to those that take you where you're going and support you with what you're building.
Your mind is like a radio that has the capacity to tune into many stations. To move forward and develop momentum you'll need to get rid of the noise and choose who and what to listen to.

For numerous years, the City of Stafford's Fire Department has handled the fire services and emergencies that occur in the unincorporated section of Harris County that occupy part of Stafford. Each year the City enters into an interlocal agreement to cover Zones 4A, 4B and 4C, a pie wedge section of Stafford roughly situated west and east of Murphy Road.
The agreement at this time – April 1 thru October 31 – provides $19K to the City of Stafford by Harris County for service calls made to these areas. Larry Di Camillo, Stafford's Fire Chief, spoke to City Council about concerns with Zone B, specifically the portion that runs along Highway 59. "This area has a difficult infrastructure and lacks sufficient hydrants. Stafford is vulnerable, as are most cities in these sections."
Now being proposed by Harris County is to purchase a new fire truck, a water supply apparatus, that will be amortized over the next six years to cover the compensation Stafford would normally receive. On the seventh year, the title of the truck will be turned over to the City of Stafford for ownership. At that time, a new agreement will be made to cover the costs of Stafford servicing these unincorporated zones, which will be combined and referred to as Zone 4. Chief Di Camillo explained to Council that the water truck under consideration has a typical shelf-life of 11 years.
City Attorney, Art Pertile, advised Council that most fire stations receive no recoupment when called by another city or county to assist in an emergency. For accounting purposes, the truck will be listed as a fixed asset, rather than revenue. Further more, the new truck can be used anywhere throughout Stafford. There will be no restrictions on service area.

Lucy Lawless Coming to Marvel's Agents of SHIELD Season 2 Xena and Battlestar Galactica star Lucy Lawless is joining the Agents of SHIELD. Who could she be?Let's not forget that Marvel's Agents of SHIELD is a show about spies. A little mystery would do that show some good, wouldn't it? Well, this is a fine start. Lucy Lawless is joining the cast of Agents of SHIELD season two in an undisclosed role.That's right. Undisclosed. This is some level seven stuff right here.Hopefully, she'll be sticking around for more than a few episodes. Agents of SHIELD can use another veteran presence for Clark Gregg and Ming-Na Wen to play off of. We know they're looking for another semi-heroic character (some details on that here) to add a little life to the mix. But as for who Ms. Lawless could be playing? Well...we have two ideas that would be absolutely perfect right at the top of this list right here. Although if they decide to cast her as Jennifer Walters we wouldn't complain, either.Agents of SHIELD season 2 will premiere on Tuesday, September 23rd at 9 pm EDT.

They are also under stress from rapid growth and the effects of climate change. Can innovations in green infrastructure – using trees and other plants on roofs and along sidewalks to control storm runoff, for instance -- help cities balance growth with sustainability imperatives? How will urban areas become stronger and more resilient while adapting to climate change? How can the study of environment's impacts on infectious diseases or the principles of sustainable peace help cities ensure the health and safety of their citizens?

Sanchez Brothers
Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal
In collaboration with the Sanchez Brothers and Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, The Workshop was one of the 40 participants in the making of Leonard Cohen: A Crack in Everything, the first major exhibit dedicated to the life and art of Leonard Cohen.
This exhibit focused the influence Cohen has had on a number of artists from different disciplines and generations.
The Sanchez Brothers wanted to recreate the last photograph taken of Cohen before his death in 2016. The photo was taken from is home in Los Angeles. We reconstructed his street digitally with 2D and 3D techniques and created a hologram of Leonard himself. The hologram was a mix of live footage of an actor and 3D modelling. We studied hundreds of photos and videos to model and animate Cohen as accurately as possible. Finally, our work was displayed through a physical space mirroring his real home.
Leonard Cohen: A Crack in Everything is made up of 20 pieces of work, featuring 40 artists and will be touring world wide in 10 countries.

Silent Partners Studio
We collaborated with Silent Partners who designed and conceived the content for Katy Perry's Witness: The Tour which was a whirlwind of 80s infused aesthetics, with a playful approach to visual conception.
We worked on the Intro of the show as well as the track Tsunami.
For the Intro content we recreated Katy's eye and had it looking around at the audience members. We combined a 2D digital painting of the iris with a 3D model of the eye, mapping its movement to live action footage taken by our in-house artist. We then digitally metamorphosized the eye to enter the colourful and whimsical universe of Katy Perry.
Tsunami involved using live footage of Katy Perry shot on a green screen at a high frame rate to emulate the physics of water. We integrated her into an underwater world of 1980s cyberpunk colors and light.
Witness: The Tour is travelling worldwide and was included in Pollstar's "2017 Year-End Top 100 Worldwide Tours" list.

|Slow moving red light,with no sound.
It was just before sundown, a red light, twice the size of a basketball was moving at 150-200 ft up and about 30 mph. No sound of any kind was made, no wings no nothing, just a red light.
I'm positive about the height and speed, it was not man made.
Now i wonder why its so hard for people to believe in life out side of our planet, after all, humans are the direct result of life from out side our planet, we are made from star material, we are made from the same material that is abundant across the universe.
The thought of humans being the only intelligent life form in the universe is silly. I believe that other life forms are here now and have been here for thousands of years, they study us just like we study insects. I also believe the govt knows all about UFO'S.
I've also seen a cow that had been killed by perfectly cut incisions with no loss of blood.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Societies Duplicity Through the Eyes Of Ken Kesey 11th Grade
In a perfect world each man, woman, and child are slightly unique but more or less exactly the same as one another. However, we do not live in a perfect world, we live in a world with many imperfections. Imperfections are looked down upon and significant measures are taken to "fix" them. In the novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, written by Ken Kesey, people with these "imperfections" are sent to a medical ward and are absent from society because they are different. For the ward to suppress the differences within the patients, deceit and misdirection is used as an influential element. However, Kesey is not subtle in the way he presents the ward's motives and hides the influential effects in the fog and machinery motifs. The fog motif serves to force patients into adapting to society, whereas the machinery motif aims to transform and "fix" the patients so they fit in and do not stand out.
Fog is the phenomenon that gives one a mental sanctuary where one may reel away from the world. In the novel, fog was used as a retreat from the cruelty of the ward by the patients. For example, on more than one occasion Chief Bromden slips away from reality because of his fear of acting out against the wards policies or because of the pain...

I hope you don't mind me being curious, but I was wondering how long your maternity leave was after having Blue Eyes, and how long you are planning to take for your new baby? I'm a postdoc in the US now but am originally from an EU country where most mothers take at least 6 months off work.
RE: part-time. I hadn't thought about the potential problems this might cause! I had been hoping to return to work on a part-time basis, but was disappointed to learn that my university won't allow postdocs to be employed on a part-time basis…
Thanks for your comment. I took 3 months maternity leave with BlueEyes, which is about the same as what I would have in the home country (+4 weeks before the delivery, but since I felt fine I worked up until my due date). My PI was extremely cool about it, because our university has no policy for post-docs and most PIs only allow their trainees 6 weeks…
For prospective baby I'll probably take the same amount of time, or perhaps a bit longer if we are almost moving back and it doesn't make sense to enroll him/her in daycare for only 1 or 2 months. We are not yet sure about the whole planning surrounding our move.
Could you work flexible hours and that way have an extra day at home?
Thanks 🙂 I'm fortunate to also have a supportive PI, and am hoping to take 3 months. It's weird because it simultaneously feels generous for over here, but on the brief side compared with my friends back home. As you say, I'm thinking that some sort of informal "part-time" arrangement with my PI will be the best option. I *am* glad that academia gives these options, esp as all family is a long way away!
(PS That's crazy that your institution has no policy for postdocs!)

Crystal Palace midfielder Alex Marrow has joined Blackburn Rovers for an undisclosed fee.
The 23-year-old returns to Ewood Park, having started his career there as a trainee, before moving to Palace in January 2011.
Marrow never made a first-team appearance for Rovers during his first spell in Lancashire, but will be re-united with former reserve team coach Gary Bowyer, who is now manager of the Championship side.
The midfielder spent loan spells with Oldham and Palace, before signing permanently for the Eagles. He made 18 appearances during the temporary stint in SE25 and went on to appear on 11 more occasions in red and blue after penning a permanent deal.
Marrow was limited to four appearances for Ian Holloway's side in the Championship last season, after spending six months on loan at League Two outfit Fleetwood Town.
Crystal Palace would like to thank Alex for his service and commitment to the club, since joining in January 2011. We wish him all the best for the future.

Dave Paulley, who is known for Western art as well as aviation art, has an affinity for stories of the Golden Era of aviation – the late 1920s and 1930s. One of his favorite subjects is seaplanes because of their artistic beauty and the adventuresome stories they have to tell.
One plane in particular, the Sikorsky S-38, was the aircraft of choice for Pan American Airways, Inter-Island Airways and other startup airlines of that period whose routes were primarily over water. Charles Lindbergh, who was a consultant for Pan Am at the time, described the plane as a ""flying forest."" This was because it featured a boat hull slung beneath the wing with tail surfaces that were held in place by twin booms to the wings and by braces from the stubby aft fuselage.
Paulley has used the S-38 in several paintings. One of his recent paintings, ""Hanalei Departure,"" shows a Sikorsky seaplane departing Hanalei Harbor on the island of Kauai. When Inter-Island Airways began operations in 1929, a number of Kauai residents requested a charter airplane to take them to see their island from the air, a rather interesting request, considering none of them had ever been in an airplane.
The artist has done several paintings of both the S-38 and the Sikorsky S-43 in the Hawaiian environs. It was one of Paulley's earlier paintings that brought his talents to writer Peter Forman's attention. Forman then commissioned Paulley to do the painting that appears on the cover of the book ""Wings of Paradise,"" and more than a dozen illustrations used in the book.
The author, an airline pilot, spent 20 years researching this book to give the reader the complete story of Hawaiian Airlines, Aloha Airlines, the commuters and the upstarts. It all began as one man's dream – Stanley Kennedy, who, while flying submarine patrol over the North Sea during World War I in a Curtiss H-16 flying boat, envisioned providing an inter-island air service back home. His hardworking father, who had left his native Scotland for America and then Hawaii, had merged Hawaii's struggling steamship companies into the Inter-Island Steam Navigation Co.
You would think a man with a vision, whose father was president of a successful steamship company, would have no problem starting an inter-island airline. But that was not the case. In spite of the hurdles Kennedy encountered, Nov. 11, 1929, was the inaugural dedication of his fledging Inter-Island Airways with two Sikorsky S-38s. Paulley's cover painting depicts these two planes heading eastward along the North Shore of Molokai a few hours after the ceremony.
The early morning ceremony was attended by the Territorial Governor and the president of the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce, as well as other leading citizens from the island. Even then, Kennedy was in a race against another startup competitor as to which one would start regular service first. It wasn't the airline's last competitor. Over the years others have tried to compete with what is now Hawaiian Airlines and all have fallen by the wayside except one, Aloha Airlines, which has been a tenacious rival since the late 1940s.
Stan Kennedy's story, including the subsequent battles for survival of the airline he started in 1929, is told in Forman's new book ""Wings of Paradise, Hawaii's Incomparable Airlines."" The story of the rivalry and their fight for financial survival is sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but if you think you have had problems, wait until you read this book.
The winners in this free-for-all were the passengers, who have enjoyed increasingly faster and better service at the lowest possible price. The rivalry continues today with new upstarts who believe they can wrest the passengers' loyalty from these two giants.
From an artistic standpoint the S-38 was a beautiful plane, but a beast? Boarding the plane was difficult. Passengers had to climb a ladder to the top of the fuselage and down another ladder into the fuselage. Often during takeoff the passengers and the crew were drenched with seawater thrown up over the fuselage. Then there was the incessant thunderous roar from the two 400 hp Pratt & Whitney engines. The S-38 could carry eight passengers, nine if someone sat on the toilet, but today a Cessna 402 commuter plane can carry as many passengers twice as fast in relative quiet and considerably more comfort.
The Sikorsky S-38 may have been a flying forest, but it was the forerunner of the flying Clippers that made trans-oceanic travel possible. The S-38 was used extensively in South America and the Caribbean, as well as Hawaii and China. This twin-engine amphibian played a key role in making the world smaller during the ""Golden Age"" of flight.

i have been eager to make my own butter lately. fresh butter. so in the spirit of our wonderful little evening, i powered up the kitchen-aid and poured in the cream left over from the leek soup. and in ten minutes after much speculation and splashing, like a miracle, we had wonderful creamy, icy cold butter. the best i've ever tasted. really truly, the best.
everytime i reach for the fresh butter in it's little red pyrex container, i can't help but think of my grandmother. my grandmother in her farm kitchen. with her 5 children who would bring buckets of milk to her from the barn each morning. and she would seperate the milk from the cream. the cream separater with it's dozens of discs she had to take apart and boil clean twice a day. and then turning that cream into the butter that her crew of sons devoured on the bread she made daily. all so basic. and all such monotonous hard work. no wonder her hands were twisted and arthritic for most of the time i knew her. beating cream into butter by hand, whipping it and beating it as it grew heavier and heavier for up to 20 minutes without stopping. and yet life was sweet and full of happiness and love. maybe moreso because of the hard work.

How wonderful, that you made your own butter. Your whole day sounds simply a splendid time . I would never think of making my own butter.ReplyDelete
Would have loved to taste some.. All those nice goodies on the table , and with close friends celebrating birthday.
A perfect day for you Laura.
val xReplies
it sure was a great evening, val. and the butter was great.Delete
thanks for all your nice comments!
With the modern conveniences of using Kitchen-Aids, and food processors you can just about make anything nowadays. I can't imagine making your own butter everyday but I know people did. My m-i-l said her mother had a butter churn that she used...that in and of itself looked hard to do but I can't imagine doing it by hand. Your poor grandmother's hand's! My m-i-l had the most crippling looking arthritic hands and yet she said they didn't hurt her. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
hi kris. i know....that's what i was thinking about....how we do everything with electric appliances. i think my grandma used a hand churn....that's what i meant.Delete
i hope you week starts out great!!!
My dearest Annette...ReplyDelete
like you I love having my "feasts" in the kitchen. There is no warmer cosier room in the house. All my closest friends agree with that : )
Love the story about your grandma. Made me warm insideReplies
oh, lovely demie....thank you for your lovely comments. wouldn't it be fun to have a feast together!!!Delete
Such wonderful imagery. Your posts are always so evocative. Those memories of your grandmother...ReplyDeleteReplies
thanks jen. i was lucky to spend lots of growing up time with one grandmother. and lots of adult time with the other. i loved those ladies!Delete
My grandma made her own butter. It was delicious. This would have been in the late 1950's and very early 1960's. I don't remember the churn she had, but I remember a wooden butter mold that she used. As a young child, I didn't know what kind of flower that was carved on it. I know now it was a thistle. I don't know what must have happened to her butter mold after her passing. She also cooked on a big black wood burning stove, for big crowds of family. I don't know how she did it. She was in her early 70's when she passed. She gardened, raised chickens, canned, cooked, and made butter right up to the end. I am wondering how much cream it takes to make any given amount of butter, and did you add any salt to it? You've got me hungry for homemade butter!ReplyDeleteReplies
hi susie....Delete
i forgot about the molds. oh, i wish i had my grandma's. our busy and productive grandmothers molded US in a way.
i poured maybe a cup or two of whipping cream into the kitchen aid. and it filled a little vintage square pyrex container. probably half a pound or a little less. i really don't know the amounts. i put a bit of salt. i'll put more next time.

It wants to spread its wings, and according to Capital New York, it will start doing that soon. Elizabeth Spiers, Editor-in-Chief of the Observer, has been given the go-ahead by Jared Kushner to hire additional editorial staff for a digital spin-off that will focus on national coverage, while the paper will remain specific to Gotham.A national expansion is a great idea, and the fact that the Observer is even considering it is a testament to Spiers' skills as an editor. Since taking over the Observer has gained its wit and zing back, as well as enjoyed an online boom — sources say that visits have been up over 80 percent since she took over.FishbowlNY is excited to see what the future holds for the Observer. Under Spiers' guidance we're sure it'll be great. Plus, if the site goes national, just think of how many more "power lists" they could publish. Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kFDKeJ copy Adweek Adweek

Pork Belly
What is Pork Belly?
Pork belly is a cut of pork that comes from the belly of a pig. Pork bellies were first traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in 1961. This allowed meat packers to hedge the pig market. Pork bellies began to be traded in the futures market, as they are an important component of meat products such as bacon.
Uses of Pork Belly
Pork belly in its sliced form is more commonly known as bacon. Bacon is included in the staple diet of many nations around the world, mainly the western culture.
Risks Pork Belly
Like any futures contract, there is always the possibility that the underlying asset i.e. pork belly will move in the opposite direction to which you hold your contract. For example: you have taken a long position (expecting the price of pork belly to rise), if this were to happen and the pork belly fell in price, your long position in pork belly will decrease in value.
Like any livestock, the inherent risk of disease. Weather conditions such as droughts, floods or cyclones can effect the production levels of pigs.

Struggling to discover your true online profession? Look no further! With our company, you'll find your true passion. It's quick and easy, and you'll feel drawn to the potential job lists when you're finished.
Finding the right niche for your online or offline career can be important. If you're in the wrong niche, you're not going to be happy nor are you going to be making any money. It doesn't have to be this way.
You Can Get Your Career Score Easily
There are a variety of such tests readily available that can help to locate these career scores.
It doesn't take any study or preparation to take these tests, all you have to do is let us show you the test that is right for your needs and take it. We evaluate your career skills and desires and help you to analyze what you want to do.
Most of the tests have about 120 to 150 questions. These questions will ask such things as "Do you enjoy the out of doors?" and "What is your ideal work situation?". These are easy questions that most people can readily answer.
As you go through these questions, you'll be asked to rank various scenarios such as what is most important to you in the workplace, a boss that you love or co-workers that you get along with. Again, easy to answer questions that will help you to evaluate your skills, desires and dream job.
As you answer each question, your answer is ranked in the database, and a list of potential jobs will come up. When you're finished, you'll be asked to rate each potential job according to how good of a match it would be for you. Obviously, some jobs will be more desired than others. That's why you have options.
A sample might be as follows:
Rate each potential job with one to five stars. One for a terrible match and five for a great match.
Example jobs that might come up on the list:
SEO Expert – for dentists who are looking to hire an expert in search engines
Data processor
Technician – a lot of opportunities here.
Then you'd rate each potential job as to how you felt about it star wise. It's quick and easy, and the entire process of the career checker will take you about an hour total.
We then help you to evaluate your results and set up the goals that you'll have to accomplish to reach your ideal job. Some may require further education and others may require that you step out of your comfort zone.
As we work together to evaluate this, you'll find that you are working toward your goal of your ideal job. It's kind of fun, and you'll learn a lot about yourself in the process.
Uncover Your Online Footprint
Everyone who has ever been online having a footprint. This footprint follows you wherever you go. It's kind of like that GPS tracker that you use on a cell phone. It's always there whether you see it or not.
It's the trail and traces of everything that you've ever done online. It encompasses your name, your social networks, any businesses that you've ever been a part of and your privacy.
If you've ever been the victim of an identity theft, this is potentially where the breach in your privacy lies. You may have inadvertently given out some personal information that led the identity thieves directly to your bank account or your credit card information.
It's important to discover and uncover your online footprint. For example, if you are a dental seo expert, you wouldn't want some things to be found on the search engines. If search engines are finding what you don't want to display online so will a potential employer, you want to keep your privacy intact. It's a delicate balance at best.
Being online is one of the top things you can do to advertise for yoursel.
You'll have to learn to guard your online footprint (also referred to as an online reputation or reputation management). Protecting your good name is vital to your future.
There are many ways to protect this, but the most important of all is always to remember that your online life is similar to a fish bowl. Someone, somewhere, is going to see what you're doing. Good or bad, there are always methods that can be utilized to find out what you're up to.
It only takes a single moment of a lapse of judgment to change your future negatively. Always remember this when you're online. If in doubt, don't open that document, picture or website.
Don't answer silly quizzes that are phishing for your personal information to be used against you or to steal your identity.
Many people fall prey to this technique innocently on social networks. It only takes answering the one quiz to get into trouble. Guard yourself and protect yourself from such sneaky tactics.
While the results may seem fun, while they may be eye opening, they are also wallet and bank account opening, and you don't want to lose your good reputation by making that one mistake.
Many websites find that they've been breached. Personal private information has been exposed to the public or squirreled away to be used against you later in your bank account or credit cards. Just read the news any day, and you'll hear of at least one incident that this has happened. Don't let that person be you.
Explore Your Options
Clearly, after taking this evaluation, you're going to find that you have many options. You'll have to narrow down your choices and choose your favorite niche.
You may have to go back to school for a time to reach your ideal career choice. You may find that you've been unsatisfied for many many years because you've been in the wrong niche entirely.
You may wish to try out a few of the potential careers before you make a final decision (obviously, some of these are easier to try out than others).
Some careers may better suit you than others. You may find that due to your age (too young or too old) that you're not as ideally suited for your first pick but you're well suited to another choice you have.
Exploring your options shouldn't be done lightly. This is a life-changing decision that can and will affect your future. It's going to affect how you live, how your work and your salary.
You'll have to explore what means more to you, money or satisfaction in helping others. Seldom do they go hand in hand? Understanding the basics of the career that best suits you may take some research and you'll have to consider how easy it will be to transition to.
We're here to help you every step of the way. We want to help you to evaluate your ideal career and focus on how to get there. We've made it our job to help others reach their goals.
We'll help you to explore these options and understand how you can get ahead. Regardless of your background, your future can be shaped. It can be what you desire. It's easy when you choose to work with us.
There are no impossible to answer questions in the evaluation. Our goal is to help you as easily as possible. We ask questions about demographics and what you like so that you can find your true niche.
You don't have to stay in a job you don't like. You don't have to wonder any "what ifs?". We take all that out of the equation and make it easy with our multiple choice answers and our analyzation.
When you're finished, you'll have some great options, and you'll agree that these are ideal choices and suited for you. You'll have the opportunity to "yay or nay" any of the options, and you'll feel comfortable as you do it.
Explore Your Network
We'll teach you how to explore your network. We'll show you how to create a network that works for you. You'll have the examples of others to guide you as you learn how to network your skills and talents.
Everyone you meet is a potential person in your network. If the person has a business or is in touch with a business, they may fit into your network.
Networking is an ideal way to get your foot in the door to a business that you may not have otherwise been able to get to. Never underestimate the value of a network.
Stop wasting your time in a dead-end job that you feel you give your all for and get nothing in return. Discover your true online professional career score and make the changes that you've always dreamed of.
It's only a few short clicks of the mouse away, and you'll be on your way to your ideal dream career. You'll be able to relax and enjoy your life because it's the life you want.
Don't worry about what the others are doing. Focus on your life and career dreams. We've made it so easy for you to evaluate your perfect career. You'll feel empowered and successful when you read your results and start to make the changes that count.
Learn the value of what a network can do for you and how to implement it into your career change. You'll be amazed at how just a few simple changes can make this for you.
Monitor Your Professional Brand
Monitor your name online and your professional brand. This is for every service and profession, from dentists to even search engine optimization experts. Learn what it takes to get where you're going. We'll walk you through the entire process every step of the way.
You're never alone, and you'll appreciate the support and efforts that our team makes to ensure that you're safely ensconced in the job of your dreams.
Focus on yourself and make your world happen your way. A complete evaluation is at your fingertips. All you have to do is choose to change your world and take the evaluation.
Again, it's quick and easy, no studying is required, and you're just going to be answering a few simple questions on what you do and don't like doing. If you've always wondered if you're in the right career niche, this is the evaluation you need to find out.
Whether you're an introvert or an extrovert or somewhere in between, this career evaluation is the ideal way to find your dream job and get you on the path to success. You can check out most frequently asked questions here.

Also known as "Little Vienna" because of its beautiful architecture and squares or as the "City of Parks", because of the numerous parks, Timișoara was the first in Europe to boast electrical street lighting.
Take a look at these nice photographs of some of the city's main attractions...
Timișoara is a remarkable city, with bohemian squares, plenty of parks, baroque buildings, and above all a fresh spirit. Timișoara is called "Little Vienna", due to its many buildings and squares reminding of Vienna. The historical center of Timișoara has several beautiful squares with an amazing atmosphere, especially the Union and the Victory squares. The latter is the place where in 1989 the Romanian anti-communist movement started.
You can visit the Orthodox and the Roman Catholic cathedrals, visit the Huniade Castle, or enjoy the special atmosphere in the Baroque Palace that hosts the Art Museum.
Parks... Parks... Parks. The entire historical center of Timișoara (i.e. where the venue for the ICSM is located) is surrounded by a chain of parks. You can literally walk from one park to another.
The recently opened ZOO is not very big, but it is a very pleasant place to spend an enjoyable afternoon. You will relax, and your children will be delighted.
The oldest Romanian beer factory (since 1718) is in Timișoara. You can visit the beer garden close to the factory and enjoy this great local beer. You should also visit some of the many nice (or fancy) restaurants, bars, and clubs that surround the Union Square.
One more thing...Here is a short video clip about the city, passionately presented by the American journalist Harry W. Morgan (Reader's Digest):
Take a look at live pictures from the Victory Square and Union Square in Timisoara.
For more details on Timișoara and its surroundings, check out the following information sources:

What Support Can You Expect¶
General support of the ISIS software package is done on a best effort basis with limited staff. The ISIS Support Team consists of a small group of programmers, processors, and editors working part time to answer questions, fix bugs, and add features to ISIS. We currently receive more requests than we have resources to address.
All issues are evaluated and prioritized by a triage team. The team prioritizes questions as high when reasonable, and prioritizes bugs as high when the bug is stopping progress or is producing data that may compromise the integrity of science results. Features, recommendations and bugs with easy work-arounds tend to be prioritized lower. Some issues may not be address for months or years, or possibly not ever.
