- to enhance the visibility of information, communication and scientific resources on EU integration studies both for academic communities and civil society in the country and in the region by "E-Institute" Association specialising in EU studies;
- to develop synergistically the resources in EU integration studies in an interdisciplinary perspective from different academic disciplines by bringing together specialists in the country and in the region to promote the EU integration knowledge and research results from a common consolidated European position.
- to install a specialised website on EU integration studies, open to everybody who is eager to learn about the European integration process;
- to elaborate all the necessary materials for the website on EU integration studies in order to come with the necessary resources to meet the demand of the beneficiaries (academic community, policy-makers, civil society) to the increasing role of the EU on regional and international arena;
- to establish centres of research on EU integration studies, responsible for specific investigation, information, communication and contribution to website functioning and development: European Centre for Legal Studies, European Centre for Economic Integration, European Centre for Human Rights, European Centre for Intercultural Dialogue;
- to launch an on-line scientific journal to promote research results of scientists in the country and in the region;
- to publish articles / papers of Moldovan professors and researchers and specialists from abroad in the on-line journal;
- to publish newsletters on EU events and / or knowledge on EU integration for members of the Moldovan community who have limited access or no access to information and communication technologies;
- to communicate knowledge on EU integration studies via the website and newsletters;
- to inform the Moldovan society about the latest developments within the EU via the website and newsletters;
- to organise annual and / or special meeting in order to make an exchange of information and experience in EU integration studies among the members of "E-Institute" Association, professors and researchers representing different institutions, and members of the civil society.
In order to accomplish the overall designed activities the project will adopt a methodology based on System Development Life Cycle, focusing on planning, implementing and analysis.
I - Planning.
On the first stage, the management team will organise kick-off meetings to set:
- the responsibilities of the centres of research - European Centre for Legal Studies, European Centre for Economic Integration, European Centre for Human Rights, European Centre for Intercultural Dialogue - throughout the life cycle of the project as these centres will constitute the hard nucleus of EU integration studies and driving force in promoting them by an ICT-based content;
- data collection tasks.
Each team of these centres will identify, explore, study, process, and produce all the necessary and relevant materials and / or knowledge, followed by an in-depth conceptual analysis of selected thematic case-studies on EU integration for website design, pages up-date, communication and dissemination of research and / or collected data results via ICT and information newsletters. The team members will identify contributors in the country and in the region to the on-line journal and examine the articles / papers for electronic publication of their research results. Team members will have to collect information about the latest developments in the EU in order to inform rightly the Moldovan academic community and society, becoming a bridge in uniting people and sharing the same democratic values.
II - Implementing.
At this stage, there are designed mobilisation and organisation of necessary resources for successful project outputs. Managing project start-up will contribute to put into practice the project plan; the initiation of procedures in building working teams; the project information and communication structures as the website, on-line journal, and newsletters, supported by research thematic centres in EU integration. The structure of project organisation is based primarily on research centres. The centres will join researchers, professors, contributors that demonstrate skills, experience, motivation, teamwork and sense of urgency for project execution in information and communication of EU integration studies. Human resources of research centres will be organised in groups (min. 3-5 members), including coordinators, staff members, contributors and volunteers. The centres will be coordinated by: European Centre for Legal Studies - Associate Professor Violeta Melnic, European Centre for Economic Integration - Associate Professor Mihai Hachi, European Centre for Human Rights - Associate Professor Ion Buruiana, European Centre for Intercultural Dialogue - Associate Professor Carolina Dodu-Savca. The assigned responsibilities in information and communication of EU integration studies will derive for each centre team from the fields they cover, i.e. EU legal, economic, protection of human rights, and intercultural dialogue studies. Dissemination activities will be coordinated by these centres.
Managing costs include the control of revenue, ensuring the money received and spent is in accordance with the approved budget, the timing of each transaction and monitoring all financial operations. Managing time of all scheduled tasks implies precise duration of 3 years. Management and leadership will be performed by Associate Professor Vasile Cucerescu, academic coordinator. He will follow action-centred leadership behaviour by achieving the tasks, managing the team in problem-solving, decision-making activities, and facing risk and / or changes within the project.
III - Analysis.
The analysis stage of the project execution is the final stage of the methodology. The analysis will focus on the performance of the inputs and outputs of the project, which must guarantee the success of the action and drawing a pertinent conclusion. At annual and / or special meetings the actors involved in project management will discuss and analyse the appropriateness of steps and methodology used in running the project in order to maintain properly the website and improve permanently the project execution and attain appropriately the addressed objectives of the action. Any suggestion coming from the civil society, academic community, the EU institutions, organisms, and controllers would be appreciated.
The chief beneficiaries of this project are researchers and professors specialising in EU integration studies; students of all cycles who are eager to get into contact and / or improve their knowledge in EU integration; policy-makers and officials whose activities are already influenced by harmonisation actions with EU standards; journalists who are specialising in EU matters; legislators who adopt more laws in accordance with EU practice; lawyers, judges, prosecutors who are to realise justice in line with ECtHR; businessmen who are interested to develop their business projects with EU member states; civil society in general aspiring to attain the EU values of democracy, human rights protection, intercultural dialogue in a global world.
In fact, the project will reach them through information and communication technologies, publication of newsletters, dissemination of research results and information on EU integration.
- informed multilevel community about the EU integration process (economic, legal, etc.), institutions, decision-making, policies, values;
- access, motivation, on-line socialisation, information exchange, knowledge construction, and personal development of society members in the country and in the region in EU integration studies;
- available outputs, products and results on EU integration studies to larger audiences;
- awareness of the EU importance at regional and international level;
- understanding the need for European integration studies in the global community;
- readiness for better cooperation actions within the Eastern Partnership;
- knowledgeable end-users of the society to share and disseminate information and / or knowledge on EU Integration in other academic and / or social contexts.
Short term benefits:
- end-users of the society who are aware of EU integration process;
- the ICT-based content on EU integration studies offer new ideas and skills, can fire up the people mind and inspire them greater business success with EU partners or cooperation at different social levels;
- it gives a foundation to continue building lifelong learning skills upon EU matters and lasting partnerships;
- responsiveness and reactiveness to European integration studies and programmes;
- it can contribute to better cooperation between Moldova and the EU, member states and the civil society.
Long term benefits:
- it gives skills that are transferable not only in a professional career but in everyday life, connecting peoples in Europe;
- it prepares the necessary conditions for approximation of Moldovan legislation to EU standards and values;
- it creates fertile soil for implementation of the EU programmes within the Eastern partnership, especially in Moldova;
- it prepares long standing bridges of cooperation between Moldovan political, economic, financial, cultural institutions and EU institutions;
- it can stimulate better institutional, academic and civil society partnerships between Moldova and the EU;
- it will stimulate promotion of European dimension in Moldovan social relations.
Within the framework of dissemination activities in EU integration studies, there will be performed information and communication sessions via different mechanisms-outputs-products-results approaches according to the specificity of the project such as:
- newsletters on EU integration information and / or knowledge that will be published 2 times a year;
- articles (including on-line and printed) by authors in the country and in the region on EU integration bearing an interdisciplinary perspective;
- press releases that will be done on special occasions related to project management and / or the EU major events;
- reports about the implementation results of the project which will be presented at annual meetings of the "E-Institute" Association and invited guests of the civil society;
- annual reports which will be sent to the Agency (they will have a two-fold aspect: monitoring of the project and dissemination of the activities, results, products, even if to a limited audience);
- website (information and communication of knowledge and / or news about the project activities and results) by linking with other sites and promoting it in the national and regional blogosphere;
- information and communication activities by keeping an electronic mailing list of recipients, targeted as project audience as academic community (academics and students), media organisations, policy-makers, civil society, will be performed in order to expand the beneficiaries of the project results.
Exploitation strategy of the project envisages end-users such as academics, students, individuals at a micro-social level and policy-makers, different socio-professional groups and / or systems at a macro-social level, striving to mainstreaming and multiplication of action results. These would include:
- transfer of disseminated results which can be used in other contexts and other institutions or organisations in Moldova or in the region;
- building up new partnerships between Moldova and the EU, within and / or outside the EU;
- sustainability, especially via the up-dated website and newsletters from which people can learn even after the project completion to meet their needs and build on these results new activities and / or projects of the future;
- national and transnational sharing of experience and / or best practice in EU integration studies in promoting a more consolidated inter- and cross-cultural dialogue and cooperation in a united Europe.

After years of imagining and dreaming of a backyard garden, I finally got to work!
I could have been grading papers or working on a paper that needs revising, or working on another manuscript that won't let me rest, but instead, I decided to sow seeds - literally and figuratively.
Life in academia is rough. Beginning my career as a tenure-track professor being pregnant, on bed rest, and caring for a newborn, now toddler, exacerbates the struggle. I've spent the last month and a half trying to get back on track - establishing a productive writing routine, bouncing from conference to conference to conference. For someone who is very, very shy, attending conferences does a number on my spirit, and by "does a number," I mean makes me anxiety-ridden. It's hard putting yourself out there. Rubbing elbows and exchanging cards drains me. Walking up to strangers to share how their work impacts you is tough, especially when that person is looking through you in search of a bigger name to flatter. Academia is one part rigor and
five two parts self-promotion. I've decided that I'm going to go hard for my career, but I'll have to do it in my own way, on my own terms. This ain't nobody else's race to run but my own, and I think I lost sight of that. This article blessed me this morning. I have rockstar potential, but I'm going to let the work (and some strategic social engagement) be my calling card.
So this past weekend, in an effort to recalibrate and shake off the academic residue, my family and I sowed seeds - literally and figuratively.
I've dreamed of growing a garden for years. Maybe it's the southern girl in me. Maybe it's the inner-boho-Badu (as my husband would describe it). Either way, I've always had the desire to grow my own food. We planned on gardening last year, but moving into our house in mid-May pushed gardening way down on our list of priorities. After over a month of palm pressing and hobnobbing, and the cold weather FINALLY gone for good, Hubs and I decided it was time to get going.
Following the advice of every gardening site I read, I only planted what I knew we'd eat - lettuce, kale, cucumbers, red peppers, onion, and garlic. We also did some container gardening for a watermelon and some strawberries. I've still gotta plant the herbs, but we're up and running!
Things always happen when they are supposed to happen (Lord, why can't I hold onto this?!?). Starting our garden this year gave us the awesome opportunity to share the activity with Little Miss TJ. And, y'all, she took right to it.
|Posted up and serious about the work
As annoyed as I was that she was undoing our hard work at times, I was more grateful to watch her enjoy connecting with nature. She's a helpful kid by nature, so she was more than willing to make sure that everything was watered.
As y'all can see, she was serious about keeping the plants nice and hydrated. Let's pray she doesn't drown them.
As we worked on the yard, I realized I felt something that I hadn't felt in a while - RELAXED!
Tending to our little garden gave me a way to connect with my family. It also allowed us to do a little personal sowing. We sowed:
Seeds of Patience: Hubs and I are mindful of how we engage with Little Miss TJ as she "helps" with the garden, and we are teaching her to wait for our seeds to blossom and grow.
Seeds of Self-Care: I needed this weekend off (well, mostly off). Tending to the garden took me away from the world of due dates and deadlines.
This weekend also reminded me that my sweet, chubby-cheeked baby is evolving into her own autonomous, independent little person. Check her out!

|I just noticed Tyson trying to get a little bit of H20. Ha!
These are just a few of the special moments we shared in the yard yesterday. We are already reaping from what we sowed. I believe this. The garden, like our lives, need to be cultivated. Sometimes it (and we) need a little pruning and some new soil to get us growing. I love getting lessons when I'm not looking for them. Continue to lift me up as I cultivate my backyard garden, my inner garden, my marriage garden, and my family-life garden. All of these things will contribute to the improvement of my work-life garden, which is slowly starting to bud.
I'll be sure to keep you all posted on the garden. Given all the hard work, time, and energy
(and coins!) we put into it, we want to eat from our back yard this summer! Also pray for Tyson - He's already eating the watermelon leaves, and I'm NOT happy about it. Sigh.
Until next time - I'll be over here sowing seeds in all my gardens.
I'll be sure to keep you all posted on the garden. Given all the hard work, time, and energy
Until next time - I'll be over here sowing seeds in all my gardens.

Monkey Bread Whine ;-)
I was about to shape a boule when I spilled some oil on the counter which made the boule too slippery to shape so I decided to cut it up into little balls and make monkey bread. It came out of the oven looking beautiful. I turned it out of the pan and it came right out without sticking like concrete. But then the beautiful ring of bread fell open like flower petals and now it's just little oddly-shaped balls of cinnamon covered dough. More experimentation needed. Sigh. I will contemplate my next move by eating some of the little oddly-shaped balls of dough while they are still warm. Thank you for letting me share. hh

As life turns into busier, we're realising how necessary it's to guard our psychological well being and wellbeing. Brazil nuts are wealthy in protein, vitamins and minerals, as well as the chemical element selenium , which may maintain pollutants from damaging sperm cells and also promote good prostate health. The actual fact is that unless a medical examine, on this subject, comes from genuine organizations and is not validated by world health watchdogs like the World Health Group (WHO), males shouldn't get depressed or assume mistaken notions about their reproductive well being.

Males's Well being has also declined in recent times from a circulation high of 228,000 in 2008 to 180,000 now. Now I haven't got youngsters, so if I had died, the impact on others would not be as dangerous, but it surely bought me occupied with how men had been sometimes unwilling to acknowledge their well being till forced to.

Stumble Into The Weekend Link Up
What Was Life Like Before You were a Mum?
Before I was a mum – By Kelly Seccombe
I slept in past six,
I ate everything off my plate and didn't have to share with grabbing little fingers,I slept the entire night through,I went where I wanted when I wanted without a gazillion other things,
I went to the supermarket and pushed my quiet trolley,
I went clothes shopping and spent hours trying on clothes,
I went to parties, to clubs, I danced,
I drank cos I could and smoked cos I could,
I showed off more skin than I should have,
I went to restaurants whether they were child-friendly or not,
My house stayed tidy,
A bath by myself wasn't a huge treat,
Nor was going to the toilet alone,
I could watch movies, programs and adverts without crying,
I had never known that I could solve any problem,
That my kisses could make nearly everything better,
That stretch marks would be a source of both pride and annoyance,
That I would care so much about what function my breasts had and if they would do what I wanted them to,
That a man who can change a stinky nappy and still hold the baby tenderly afterwards is sexier than any movie star from Hollywood,
That silence would have me suspicious, not relieved,
I didn't thank God it wasn't my child in the news,
I hadn't sat up with a sick baby all night, wishing I could take their place,
I hadn't cried on the inside and kept calm on the outside after seeing my child get hurt,
I had never wanted to hurt those who wronged my child,
I had never known that you can love for just a moment and that will be eternal until I met fellow mums whose babies did not stay,
I did not understand that the bravest person in the world is the one whose child left this earth before them but they still get up every day and manage a smile,
I never knew how sweet the smell of a baby is,
How the sound of their first word is more beautiful than any other noise on earth,
Before I was a mum,
I never believed in love at first sight, I never knew that seeing someone for the first time could stir emotions I didn't even know I had,
Before I was a mum I didn't understand what an amazing privilege it is to have these little parts of us that take up so much room, in our hearts, that we happily let consume our lives, who's happiness matters more than our own, I didn't recognise how amazing and selfless and brave mothers are.
What do you think is the best thing about being a Mum?

We bade our goodbyes and boarded the train enroute to the South of France and the French Riviera.
My wish was to return to Antibes and stay there for a while to get to know
the town and live life there... Well... we were able to stay five days and lounge around and really explore!
Our mode of transportation was basically par pied~ We wandered and wandered about and made wonderful discoveries about this little town.
I always gravitate to the 'OLD TOWN' and feel the ambience of the culture there. There is a charm in the old town as you stroll down the streets which are mostly pedisterian walkways. There is a fantastic port on the edge of town where hob nobbers moore their multi-million Euro yachts as they enjoy the good life at local restaurants and clubs before they lift anchor and head on down the coast.
One of the wonderful things about Antibes is that there is a most wonderful market filled with wonderful foods,cheeses, and vegetables, as well as soaps and antiques. I imagined myself shopping for the daily needs for meals and stocking the kitchen for our stay here.
If one would want to make Antibes a home base, you should secure your apartment or home early for best selection. We ended up staying at a local hotel in the old town which served us well for the time we stayed.
The weather was wonderfully warm and balmy. We were able to enjoy the stretches of beach and swim in the silky water.
Our hikes were lengthy and included city streets as well into the beautiful hills surrounding the coast, Cap D' Antibes.

Ardara hold on to get semi spot
Ardara survived a late Dungloe rally to book a place in the semi-final of the Reserve championship in Davy Brennan Park, Glenties.
This was a much closer encounter than the opening game and in the end Ardara did enough in the opening half to get through; they led 1-7 to 0-4 at the break.
Dungloe did get back within a point with 11 minutes left, but they were unable to get on level terms.
Ardara were quick into their stride with Fergal Heena (free) and Gerard McCabe pointing within four minutes and while Brendan McGarvey had a free for Dungloe, Aaron Bennett and Heena added two more.
The big score of the opening half came when a Heena effort for a point came back off the upright and Paul Watters was alert to finish to the net on 22 minutes.
Aaron Bennett, after missing an opening free, was sharp for the winners, pointing four times while Brendan McGarvey was wide from a 20m free at the other end.
Thomas Brennan and Robert Weherly led the Dungloe comeback in the second half and McGarvey found his shooting boots with one marvellous free from the sideline. John Ward came on as a sub and fired just over on 51 minutes.
However, the game should have been over as a contest on 44 minutes when Fergal Heena, Ardara's liveliest forward, worked an opening for Aaron Bennett. Bennett's effort was well saved by Christopher McGlynn but he then fired the rebound over with the goal gaping.
The wind was a factor but Ardara did enough to hold back the Dungloe tide which was rising by the minute
Apart from Heena, Francis Diver, Patrick Whyte, Oisin O'Donnell and Gerard McCabe were best for Ardara.
Ardara: C Gildea; E Breslin, P Whyte, C Hennigan; R Sweeney, N Maguire, O O'Donnell; S McCahill, F Diver; M Cassidy, G McCabe (0-1), P Watters (1-0); F Heena (0-2,1f), A Bennett (0-5,1f,45), J McLaughlin. Subs., F Boyle for Hennigan; N Gallagher for McLaughlin; A Shovlin for N Maguire.
Dungloe: C McGlynn; R Rogers, J Sweeney, C Carr; A Rogers, M Connolly, D Rogers; S Doherty (0-1), M Boyle (0-1); P Ferry, R Weherly (0-2), M Ferry; D Hanlon, T Brennan (0-1), B McGarvey (0-5,4f). Subs, A Neely forD Hanlon; L Neely for P Ferry (both ht); J Ward (0-1) for M Boyle 46

A lot of landmark events occurred in 1939. The New York World's Fair opened. Hitler invaded Poland. The movie The Wizard of Oz premiered, and the Marx Brothers movie At the Circus was released. Harold Arlen and lyricist E.Y. "Yip" Harburg wrote songs for both the Wizard of Oz and At the Circus. Groucho's performance of "Lydia the Tattooed Lady" is a classic.
As I pointed out in an earlier post about the song Cuban Pete, the internet is littered with inaccuracies. The World Wide Web abounds in multiple copies of a mistaken transcription of Groucho's introduction to "Lydia." What shows up in this transcription is:
My life was wrapped around the circus.
Her name was Lydia.
I met her at the World's Fair in 1900,
marked down from 1940.
Ah, Lydia.
She was the most glorious creature under the sun.
Guiess. Dubarry. Garbo.
Rolled into one.
If you watch the above clip from the movie, you'll see that when Groucho lists the three beauties that were all rolled into Lydia, the first one sounds like it rhymes with "vice". According to Nick Markovich, administrator/archivist of the Yip Harburg foundation, this was Thaïs, an Athenian courtesan who allegedly convinced Alexander the Great to burn the palace of Persepolis. Jules Massanet wrote an opera called Thaïs. The Scottish soprano Mary Garden made her American premiere in the title role. The other two women were Madame du Barry, mistress of Louis XV, and famed actress Greta Garbo. Interestingly, Yip Harburg also wrote lyrics for a song ("Salome") which was sung by Virginia O'Brien in the 1943 movie Du Barry Was a Lady.
The joke about the World's Fairs in Groucho's intro refers to the Expositon Universelle in Paris in 1900, and the New York World's Fair, 1939-1940.
There are many historical and topical references in the song itself:
Battle of Waterloo - Napolean's final defeat by the Duke of Wellington
Wreck of the Hesperus - a poem by Longfellow, based on events that occurred during a blizzard off the east coast of the United States in 1839. In the poem, a sea captain's daughter is tied to the mast of a ship to keep her from being washed overboard during a storm, but both she and her father die.
Kankakee - a town in Illinois
Paree - the one in France. You've heard of it--it's been in all the papers
Washington Crossing the Delaware - the famous painting by Emanuel Leutze of the beginning of the surprise attack on the Hessians in Trenton, New Jersey, Decemeber 25, 1776
Andrew Jackson - colonel in the Tennessee militia in the War of 1812 and later President of the U.S.
mazurka - a Polish dance
Niagara - the Falls--you know, the big ones between New York and Canada
Alcatraz - the island in San Francisco Bay that used to be a prison
Buffalo Bill - William F. Cody, of Wild West Show fame
Just a little classic by Mendel Picasso - This is the most puzzling phrase in the song, and one for which I can't find an explanation. The abstract artist Picasso's given name was Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Martyr Patricio Clito Ruiz y Picasso. That's quite a mouthful, but I don't find anything that looks like Mendel in there.
Captain Spaulding - Groucho's character in Animal Crackers
Godiva - the lady who, according to legend, argued with her husband, Lord Leofric, about the oppressive taxes he levied on the citizens of Coventry in the eleventh century. He challenged her to ride naked through town, and promised to lift the taxes if no one looked at her. She rode, no one looked, the peasants cheered, and the taxes were lifted, or so one version of the legend goes.
Grover Whalen unveilin' the Trylon - a great turn of phrase. Whalen was President of the World's Fair Corporation, which planned and built the 1939 World's Fair on the site of what was up to that time an ash dump in Flushing Meadow. The symbols of the fair were the Trylon and Perisphere--a big pointy tower next to a big round building.
Treasure Island - another topical reference. Treasure Island is an artificial island in the San Francisco Bay. It is connected by a small isthmus to Yerba Buena Island. It was created out of fill dredged from the bay in 1936 and 1937 for the 1939-1940 Golden Gate International Exposition.
Nijinsky adoin' the rhumba - a Russian ballet dancer and choreographer doing "the dance of Latin romance" (see Cuban Pete).
In their book, Who Put the Rainbow in the Wizard of Oz: Yip Harburg, Lyricist, Harold Meyerson and Ernie Harburg point out a couple interesting facts about "Lydia." The song was censored and in order to get it into the movie, Yip Harburg had to add the last stanza:
Oh, Lydia, the champ of them all
She once swept an Admiral clear off his feet
The ships on her hips made his heart skip a beat
And now the old boy's in command of the fleet
For he went and married Lydia
I guess the censors could accept the rest of what they considered a risque song as long as Lydia became an "honest woman" and got married in the end.
Myerson and Harburg also point out that Yip tried his best to make "Lydia" sound like Gilbert and Sullivan, because Groucho was a big fan and would have parties at his house where he would play recordings of Gilbert and Sullivan operas and sing along with them.
As I close this post, I must note a spooky coincidence(?). The Muzak coming out of the speaker in the office at the MRI Center where I am finishing this up is "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Arlen and Harburg!

"Giving money back to states is important," says Board Chairman John T. Traynor of Devil's Lake, ND. "Each state has unique needs. ENF grants allow the state associations to address those needs."
During the 2004-05 fiscal year, the Elks of Maine donated $97,501 to the Elks National Foundation. This year, the Foundation will give back the following:
The more gifts the Foundation receives from donors in Maine, the more funds the ENF provides to support the children, families and veterans in the state. During the2004-05 year, donors in Maine contributed $97,501 to the ENF, allowing the Foundation to award $1.22 back to the state for every dollar received. The ENF relies on the support of Elks across the country," says Traynor. "We're happy to reward Elks in Maine for their generous support."

On Monday we had our final rehearsal before the opening of the show. Everyone was there and I just wanted to do another full run-through of the show. I didn't want to overwork any of the scenes. I want the scenes to stay fresh and I don't want the cast to get in their heads about the work they're doing.
I ran "tech" by using my iPod speakers and flipping the light switch when necessary. Everything was pretty seamless and there were only a few missed lines in the entire show. The lines that were missed weren't even lines from the toughest scenes or monologues. They were minor hiccups in the scenes that likely wouldn't have been noticed by the audience.
The actors have done their part. Now let's just hope that I did mine. We're getting reviewed tomorrow which makes me a little more nervous, but I think we've got a good show. At this point there is nothing we can do but go out there and give it our best shot - which is exactly what we will do.
Thursdays @ 11pm - June 14-28, July 12-26

|Skirt-Eloquii, Crop-Forever21 Old (Similar), Shoes-Zara-(old)
Earlier in the Spring I remember Georgette (Grown and Curvy Woman) and I lamenting over wanting a variety of skirt shapes that weren't being offered in plus sizes. We were both really frustrated by what was missing from the market. But as soon as we spoke it seems like several designers started too offer it. I count Georgette as one of my constant skirt inspirations, she wears them so well! We both loved this skirt and decided to buy it when it hit Eloquii's site. She and I decided to post this skirt together and display our varying styles. It's always fun to partner with another blogger to show how you wear the same piece with different spins.
I have wanted this striped Eloquii skirt since I saw it on their Instagram page and vowed it would be mine. What's not to love about it?!?!? It's striped, it's flared, and it's the perfect length for work or play. It was an instant, without hesitation purchase for me. I can think of a million ways to wear this and I guarantee that you will see this skirt again! I dared to pair it with a crop top this time around since the skirt was so high wasted I knew I would feel comfortable with a crop top on.
This summer I have been thoroughly been impressed by the variety and the quality of Eloquii's skirts. After purchasing several of their skirts I can say each skirt is on trend, great quality and the fits are amazing. I look forward to their fall collection! My wallet on the other hand does not.
Head over to Grown and Curvy Woman to see what Georgette has to say about our beloved skirt!

I honestly feel jittery over excitement. In a few days, I will be turning thirty-ish. Ha! I am semi-proud of my age because I am
self-proclaiming that I don't look like one!
Kidding aside, birthdays have always been uneasy for me. Probably because I bombard myself with massive self-expectations and life reflections. I tend to be on a spiral breakdown every time my birthday is a peek away.
Please don't judge me for not being thankful for another year. I actually am. I am up for more adventures to come. Being in a series of wakes this year reiterated the fact that life is too short so might as well enjoy it whilst it lasts.
I guess I am just being cynical sometimes. It's that other side of me which serves as a gravitational pull to reality.
But hey, it's a new year and there is still another happy side that believes in new breakthroughs, new hopes, new phase, new beginnings, new life. I have so much faith in the Creator that I know He will continue to work on me – to make the best out of me.
Another chapter is about to unravel in a few days…
And before anything else, please let me tell you this:

A thought has been on my mind for sometime, and I am out looking for some knowledge and some answers. The thought is about the relationship between activities using floor and the furniture to support these activities. Without any effort, the first culture after Indian that comes to mind is Japanese. While I would like to assume that I know about Indian and so my research should now focus on Japanese, I am sure there is so much that I don't know.
So, the next few posts are going to be around the connection of Indians with the floor. If along the way I digress and start exploring other things, then its just an unplanned part of my personal development. I hope to spend time every Saturday learning and writing about this topic.
For starters:

Wat Langka is a gorgeous (and might I add, clean) pagoda situated close to the Independence Monument in Phnom Penh. The pagoda was used as a storehouse during the Khmer Rouge era and therefore managed to avoid total destruction. It is quiet and peaceful, and the stupas are kept in a great condition. While you are there you can take a walk over to the Independence Monument and the Statue of King Father Norodom Sihanouk.
Entry is free, and you are unlikely to be approached by beggars or sellers, meaning you can take your time to stroll around and take in the history.

This nonfiction is an force second look and update, as cured as a review article of US and Western life policies, or a withdrawal thence. This is not almost Eastern enthusiasm policies because they will track our political and bazaar leads in dealing near a prerequisite and drawn out overdue translation out of the old verve infrastructures that have been perpetuated for corporate income and political profiteering.
Let's have a chat nearly animation first, and this is outstandingly old numbers that is continually hushed-up and marginalized by the extant dash politics. The sun, and bend are disentangled. Oil, coal, gas and atomic are
NOT footloose - and they are fundamentally toxic. Just as we had the foresightedness to figure hydroelectric dams we must step into solar, current of air and h technologies. Solar and bend technologies have less ecological side than even the hydroelectric dam systems by the way. Hydrogen vaudevillian to resign from water, not carbon, and h can be effortlessly created next to solar or entwine electrical generation
What's so devout in the region of pardon energy? It can be glibly collected and value-added to the grid, or in use in liberate reputation private and house sparkle provide projects. Windmills and photovoltaic panels get honourable facility and at hand are even smaller amount high-priced ways to group the on the house liveliness that is present complete maximum of the planet, most of the instance.Post ads:

Windmills donkey work well, they obligation not be the huge, corporately constructed and maintenanced models. Private individuals, like farmers, can body-build and glibly operate these to driving force generators. The generators could be ready-made more than untaken next to connexion kits that go straight to the pressure power system to assign the creator beside extra takings from vitality companies. And individualist windmills can bestow bonnie variations, as three-dimensional figure on the vista. Esthetics awards could even be given for inspiration and unambiguously original designs - they don't all have to be like the repetitive designs shown now.
Just as we shifted out of blistering fossil fuel for energy in the 50s, we essential translation out of petroleum, gas, fossil fuel and thermonuclear as untold as thinkable for cleaner, less expensive, less strategically manipulated life supplies. The mournfully revived pressure to use more coal, gas, coal and nuclear are firm party line for profits and continuing policy-making influence. Do you know how several politicians a moment ago can't say no to oil resources contributions?
Certainly we can use those fossil fuels, but they should be at 10% of our verve supply, not 90% of our force secure. The airlines industry should be congratulated, very Virgin and another leaders, for superficial at energy good alternatives. The car commercial enterprise has recurrently succumbed to big oil's system and policy-making pressures for decades.
About the gas info that all of our plastics that are utilised in both commercial enterprise MUST come up from fossil oil - this is dead garbage. We should be exploitation ceramics, glass, and polymers that are created from another than firewood calculable substances. As by a long way as reasonable they should be either efficiently utile or perishable or some. The numbers of these materials technologies that are marginalized by oil politics and profiteering is as excellent as the dynamism technologies.
In solid and artistic creation alone, made predominantly from silicon (sand), we could bring into being much resilient structure products, with smaller number combustion risk, smaller amount jeopardy of rot, higher insulative properties, bigger electroconduction application properties, etc. than plastic siding and oil tar supported herpes and paints.
Silicon is the utmost sumptuous constituent on Earth, and masses of its substances are nearly sovereign for the thickening. Brick, tile, railway products and roofing products ready-made from art and solid compositions are earlier on the markets but they are one oversubscribed rather expensively at endowment as specialist alternatives to the older much oil based materials. The charge can move downward beside large-scale amount produced and commercialism.
Local property codes essential be inhibited to uniformly arm newer location materials and technologies, not fair the same old technologies that builders bring down off as expensive, traditionally acknowledged regard pictogram designs. Just as the prices of these newer materials decrease, so should the revenue enhancement for calmness on the use of toxic technologies magnify.
Leaders approaching Arnold Schwarzenegger, Pope Benedict and Al Gore, who are actively mistreatment newer and smaller amount cyanogenetic technologies should be congratulated. The man or multinational who popularizes an cheap
electric machine should receive the Nobel Prize.
These solar, wind, and atomic number 1 technologies should be verified as humane plant by the billionaires. Alleviating the large-scale political relation and profiteering of big oil, near it's toxic remains and stimulation of politically supported wars worldwide, would be far much helpful to mankind, separate taxonomic category and the planet than any other than human-centered enterprise I can assume.

About Cued Speech
NCSA Definition of Cued Speech (used with permission):
The cueing of a traditionally spoken language is the visual counterpart of speaking it. Cueing makes available to the eye(s) the same linguistic building blocks that speaking avails the ear(s). Until the advent of cueing, the term spoken language accurately described what had been the only way of distinctly conveying these building blocks: speaking. In fact, until that time, the sounds of speech and the building blocks were thought of as one and the same.
Nevertheless, speaking is simply a process of manipulating tongue placement, breath stream, and voice to produce a sound code that represents these building blocks. The blocks are assembled by way of the stream of sounds produced by these manipulations. Cueing is a process of manipulating handshapes, hand placements, and non-manual signals to produce a visible code representing the same building blocks. The blocks are assembled by way of the stream of cues produced by these manipulations. Because cueing is the visible counterpart of speaking, cued language is the visible counterpart of spoken language.

The colorful rock formations and the horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters seem not to be from this world. This amazing desert wonderland puts a spell on you before you can blink with an eye. This incredibly beautiful landscape has taken my heart right when we met the first time. I've visited "Bryce Canyon" several times by now and even though this National Park is compared to others rather small, every time I visited I had a new breathtaking experience. I don't think I have taken more photos at any other sight, the colorful and from nature so interesting shaped limestone formations in Bryce Canyon make me fire my Nikon in harmony with my heart beat – fast. I guess I would be able to index every stone there by now. And still, I will go back to this wonderful place the second I can. It is like "Bryce" is calling me back. Again and again.

IT Disaster Recovery Planning
An IT Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) is created to ensure a business and more specifically their technology department can recover quickly and efficiently should they lose their data centre or have a major IT software or hardware failure. Prior to developing and IT DR plan it is critical that a Risk Assessment and Business Impact Analysis is carried out. These two prior phases will clearly highlight where a potential disastrous event may occur and also establish important factors such as the time frame and recovery order in which the business needs to re-establish their systems.
As with any recovery plan, the IT DRP needs to be developed on the assumption of worst case scenario such as your key IT personnel will not be available to carry out the recovery as they are not able to come to work or may have suffered physical harm during to the disaster.
The IT DRP should outline the steps that need to be followed to re-establish services, who they have to call, as well as the level of technical expertise that is needed at each stage of recover. The plan needs to provide guidance not only to IT Management but also to other senior management and staff who may be involved in the recovery. Thus a plan needs to be written so that non-technical people can understand it and know the processes to follow. Detailed technical procedures are usually documented outside of the IT DR Plan and kept up to date by Technical personnel to ensure they are always relevant.
An IT DRP could be broken down in to the following example sections;
- Table of Contents
- Introduction
- Crisis Management Team Details and Action Lists
- Network Plan
- Hardware and Data Centre Infrastructure
- IT Services Rebuild Plan
- Appendix of Key Items such as:
- Key Contacts
- Data Backup Cycles and Ancillary Matters
- Vendor and Suppliers
- Hardware Lists
- Guidance on Salvage of Material Processes
- Index
Even though your disaster recovery solutions may be in the 'cloud' or replicated to a remote site, an IT DR Plan is still essential to ensure a speedy and cost effective recovery.
With the recent increases cyber security incidents, your IT DRP could also cover detection of such events, and how the IT department interfaces with the organisation's management in dealing with the cyber breach. For many companies this guidance is also outlined in separate documentation, such as a - Cyber Breach Incident Handling Guidelines document.

Increased competition will lift farmgate pricesBy Dairy News
INCREASED COMPETITION for milk will steer farmers towards a profitable 2018–19 season, according to Rabobank senior dairy analyst Michael Harvey.
In a new report for Rabobank, Australian Dairy — Let the big milk battle begin, Mr Harvey writes the "battle between two global dairy giants looms large on the horizon", as Saputo's quest to win back milk supply begins and Fonterra maps out further capacity expansions.
Further increasing competition are smaller and newer dairy players actively recruiting milk to secure their share of the milk pool.
Mr Harvey said these competitive pressures for milk supply, which are likely to intensify next season with Saputo's acquisition of Murray Goulburn, will translate into higher premiums being passed to farmers and help compensate for the lower commodity price.
"In the global market, while risks loom in the near-term and this is likely to see dairy companies take a conservative approach when opening their prices for the 2018–19 season, the prospects for a gradual tightening in global dairy markets is bright," Mr Harvey said.
He added: "The timing of the recovery is expected to favour Australia by taking place through our seasonal peak in production."
Assuming a spot currency rate of US77 cents, Mr Harvey said Rabobank forecasts the global market to deliver a base farmgate milk price of A$5.40/kg milk solids (MS) in 2018–19.
"However greater competition for milk is likely to bring higher value-add payments to Australian producers with Rabobank forecasting an annual average farmgate range across southern Australia of A$5.40 kg/MS to A$5.90 kg/MS in 2018–19."
Rabobank is forecasting domestic milk production to increase by 2.7 per cent in 2018–19 to deliver an additional 170 million litres of milk to the market. This follows the 3.2 per cent increase (or additional 390 million litres) in 2017–18.
"A well-timed autumn break will be vital to setting up the season," he says, "with increased purchased feed costs and lower cull cow prices expected to place some pressure on margins."
Mr Harvey said Australian dairy farmers preparing for the new season would need to budget for higher feed costs, but also factor in the cash flow implications of a conservative opening price and lower non-milk income.
"The reality is that 2018–19 may be characterised as another season of consolidation due to looming market pressure, however margins are on track to remain above breakeven," he said.
Big battle for milk looms
Given the increase in Australian milk supply and the gradual repositioning of the milk pool, the report says a "big battle for milk looms" between processors, to retain producers next season and to be in a position to grow their milk supply in the longer term.
"At the frontline of this battle are the two large international companies butting heads over milk supply as Saputo looks to win back milk supply and Fonterra maps out capacity expansions," Mr Harvey said.
"With the Murray Goulburn asset footprint having an excess capacity of more than one billion litres, Saputo will be looking to win back that lost milk supply.
"And then you have a number of dairy companies that have already taken up the lost milk from Murray Goulburn and they will be determined to retain their recently-acquired milk suppliers."
Mr Harvey predicts Australia's dairy processing capacity will increase further over the next two years, with an estimated 900 million litres of capacity to be built.
"This comes off the back of one billion litres of commercially-viable processing capacity coming on board in the past two seasons."
In light of the increased processing capacity, Mr Harvey said Australia's dairy sector needs to ensure sustained milk supply growth continues.
"Without a growing milk pool, the industry risks carrying too much surplus processing capacity, fuelling manufacturing inefficiencies, with the margin pressure just 'pin balling' from one processor to the next.
"And this is a looming risk for the sector because if it faces another sustained period of aggressive milk pricing, it could potentially transform into an unsustainable squeeze on processors margins and profitability."

I love social media, in fact I love the way brands are grappling with the new exciting platforms to engage customers, brilliant stuff. Now that you've entered the social media space, you're now on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn blah blah blah good stuff in fact great stuff and also now that you've a satisfactory fanbase, I want to highlight some of the key social media metrics you need to keep an eagle eye on and sorry if I'm going to burst your bubble, forget LIKES, FOLLOWERS, yep forget about tracking those two and focus on Engagement.
The beauty about digital media, in fact the advantage in chief over traditional media remains the ability to track and measure your activities with surgical accuracy! What gets done, get measured and digital media enables us to accurately measure the success of our activities and the ROI for the comfort of our fellow accountants. In this article I want to focus on the key social media metrics that are of utmost importance, reach and engagement rate. Reach is the number of people whom you reach with your posts, tweets and updates whereas engagement is the number of people that you've engaged with or who have liked, commented, retweeted, shared and or favorited your updates. To the untrained eye, it is the number of fans who are engaging with you on social media relative to the number of people you're reaching. For those of us who love mathematical derivations it is simply: Engagement Rate =
Social media is all about engagement; it's about socializing with your fans, shaping brand perceptions, creating relationships and converting your fans into leads. All these elements speak of engagement, the more reason why you need to tilt your radar towards creating and maintaining high engagement levels on your properties.
Forget LIKES and FOLLOWERS
This is probably one of the saddest things you will ever come across especially for those who are in the game of "Outliking" your competitors. LIKES I must say are impressive numbers to look at particularly if you've thousands of them and can impress your digitally gullible boss. However if you're still focusing on LIKES as an indicator of the success of your social media activities then I'm sorry to burst your bubble, forget LIKES and focus on ENGAGEMENT. Whilst it's true admittedly so that engagement is a function of LIKES but focusing on the latter will not do you any world of good. Social media is all about building communities engaging with them through participating in the consumer conversations.
The reason why I say forget LIKES is because of these factors:
Let's face it, the reason why we are on Facebook or social media is to connect with friends and not to follow brands and it's only then when a brand shares something that resonates with our needs do we then engage. I'm yet to see any individual who signs up on social media to follow brands but it is the duty of the marketer to break through the friendship circles and get noticed. To achieve this, it takes fresh exciting content that forces consumers to notice you and then engage with your brand. If you upload poor, dull and uninteresting content chances are no one will engage with you and despite having millions of fans/LIKES if they are not engaging with you, whats the point!
The other reason why you need to focus on engagement and not LIKES is the algorithm, the marketer's nemesis! Owners of the social media platforms are curating their algorithms to punish those who are focused on LIKES and not an engaged community. I wrote about these algorithms here and you can look at it but the key thing is that, if a fan doesn't engage with your brand for sometime on Facebook your updates will stop appearing on their newsfeed. This algorithm change is premised on the fact that if I don't comment, like share or clickthrough your posts/page the message I'm sending is that "Zuckerberg and team please stop sending me brand X updates because I'm just not interested in them" It's brutal but we have to learn to live with it. Imagine you've 1 million fans who do not engage and nothing is appearing in their newsfeed despite and I repeat despite them having liked your page. Social media is fast becoming a ruthless jungle for marketers I tell you!
Another key role social media plays in the digital media ecosystem is conversion. Conversion is when your fans complete a predetermined action on your website, shop etc in plain terms, it is when you say visit our shop and a customer walks in as a direct result of that call to action. I'm sure you will agree with me, you cannot convert a fan who has just liked your page but one who has engaged because it gives you an opportunity to convince them during the conversation and nurture the lead until they convert. Lead generation and nurturing are functions of engagement and not likes, we need to ensure that our content is engaging at all times and we have a team a resource that is engaging with fans at any given time.
In conclusion, in your digital KPIs tracking sheet and all those board packs please remove number of likes, likes growth rate, quality of likes etc it's a good measure but a better metric to monitor is engagement rate. I will in the next article share the other metrics we need to monitor in our digital marketing strategy.
Let me know what you think in the comments below:
I am not a marketer, but I do completely understand what you are saying Mr. Author. I wouldn't agree less with you. It doesn't add value to merely have a KPI of likes as they do not convert to become real business. Real business is when you engage (as you have rightfully put it through). Quite an interesting read I should say...
