Squiffy Profile
I can't believe I only discovered this site in 2018. I discovered the World Heritage List back in 2004 and it formed a major focus of my free time for a good decade or so. I never knew that there was such an active community of fellow like-minded nerds out here.
My visits have pretty much fallen off a cliff since 2015 as I have discovered there is a limit to what is responsible or feasible with a young family. Since my honeymoon I've only managed to visit three or four new sites (the 'maybe four' being Pont d'Arc where I visited the replica cave but didn't sneak into the actual inscribed area). So my reviews will be limited to newly-visited sites or ones I have previously visited but are lacking in reviews on the site.
And as my family grows up, hopefully I'll be able to drag them along as I recommence my quest ("Hey kids! Who wants to go and see some German Modernist housing estates?")

Tombs of Buganda Kings
Squiffy UK - 27-Aug-19
It wasn't much to look at. Some concrete pillars, some buckled girders, some plastic sheeting. Beyond it, the compound was scruffy and dilapidated. Old women in trances lay on the steps, naked children washed from bowls, flies swarmed around the matoke and the scent of incense hung in the air. I was in the presence of royalty…

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Squiffy UK - 27-Aug-19
There's a reason the film wasn't called Gorillas in the Dazzling Sunshine. My first view of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest was of a wall of foliage climbing the valley wall opposite, wreathed in skeins of spectral blue mist. The knowledge that the following day I would be setting off into the jungle on foot to search for mountain gorillas was thrilling.
I had booked my permit in advance – but not dramatically so. The whole trip to Uganda was fairly last minute and so I had only made my reservation a month ahead of time. There was the risk that all the permits would have been sold out. I was lucky. With hindsight, starting from Buhoma gave me the best chance of getting a place. At the time of my travel there were seven groups of Mountain Gorillas 'habituated' to human presence. One is in the southern Mgahinga Gorilla National Park (on the Tentative List) and the other six are located in Bwindi. There are four trailheads. From Ruhija in the east of the park the Bitakura group can be tracked. From Rushaga in the south the Shongi group can be trackedRead On
Stone Town of Zanzibar
Squiffy UK - 15-Aug-19
We arrived in Zanzibar late at night. Exhausted, I set the alarm, assuming that – unlike on the savannah – there would be no dawn chorus. Incorrect. It just would not be provided by the wildlife. The call to prayer woke me, a lone muezzin beseeching the faithful, his melodic words hanging in the air. After a minute his colleagues joined in, Allahu akbar emanating from every direction, their different intonations and rhythms smearing into and over each other like fresh paint between two panes of glass. Stone Town woke. Engines revved, horns parped and children shouted. Animated discussions echoed up from the narrow street. A radio emitted a blare of exotic music. In the distance a cock crowedRead On
Kilimanjaro National Park
Squiffy UK - 13-Aug-19
The white-necked raven eyed us beadily. It was not an attractive bird. Its feathers were scruffy and its heavy beak was all too obviously designed for scavenging on carcasses. All the same, I was glad to see it. We were in northern Tanzania, one of the most famous wildlife destinations in the world. But that raven, I realised, was the first sign of life we had seen in hours.
Firstly, hats off to those reviewers below who have summited Mount Kilimanjaro. It's a great undertaking and I hope to follow in your footsteps one day. We debated whether trying to fit in the full ascent on our trip to TanzaniaRead On
Squiffy UK - 10-Aug-19
The giraffes stared down at us. We stared up at them. Animals that had seemed gentle and almost comic from a vehicle were much more imposing when viewed from on foot. One became agitated by our presence so we retreated back to the cover of the trees lining the gorge. "Take care", urged Taletien, suggesting we grasp the tough sisal leaves – oldupai in Maasai – as support ropes while we descended the riverbank. But as I jumped the last foot down to the fine black sand I caught the edge of my palm on a leaf tip. Blood welled up. Taletien inspected the prick: "Let me show you some Maasai medicine". With his knife he chopped down an oldupai leaf. He twisted it so that its greenish soapy-smelling liquid dripped onto the cutRead On

Before you can get a job as a personal assistant, you must first write a resume that presents you as reliable, professional, organized, great with problem solving and that reflects your experience with writing and technology. Learning how to format a resume properly will allow employers to see all that you have to offer as you show your skills and previous work experiences to their best advantage.
1. Gather all of the information you will need to write your resume. This will include past work experiences and any relevant education information.
2. format your resume properly by setting up your document with a.75 to 1-inch margin and in a black font that is 10 point or larger. As a personal assistant, your resume is an opportunity to not only highlight your past experiences, but to also show off your formatting and typing skills.
3. List your contact information. When learning how to format a resume, it's important that you include the best way to contact you in order for employers to schedule interviews. Your name, the city and state where you reside, your phone number and your email address should always be included. If your email address is from your current employer or puts you in a bad light, register for a new email address. If you have a website, include that information in this section as well.
4. Write a summary statement that sums up why you would make a great personal assistant. Most employers only spend six seconds scanning the front page of a resume. Lead with your transferable skills and experiences in this first section, therefore. Use five to eight bullet points to list your experiences, and demonstrate what type of asset you can be by drawing from specific examples in your past. Incorporate any keywords that are relevant in this section so that your resume can be easily found in a database. These words may include skills related to organizing, technology and communication.
5. Format your work experiences section by beginning with your most recent job. When learning how to format a resume, it is important that you show job growth and accomplishments in this section. Begin by listing your position, your employer's name, the location where you worked and the dates that you were employed. Bullet points should then be used to describe your key accomplishments in the position. Always use quantifiable descriptions whenever possible, and don't simply list your duties or responsibilities.
6. List any education that you have received that may be relevant. This can include degrees that are in progress, outside coursework you have taken or professional classes or training that can help you as a personal assistant. Keyboarding, computer, public relations and communications courses can all be helpful in a career as a personal assistant and should be included in the education section. The name of the degree or training course should be listed first, followed by the name of the college and the city and state. Unless you are a recent graduate, don't include your graduation date.
7. Check your resume several times for misspelled words and incorrect grammar. When learning how to format a resume, it's important to never rely on a computer's spell check program. Ask a friend or colleague to review your resume for any errors that you may have missed. Employers look for personal assistants who pay attention to detail and can write fluently. Any errors on your resume will reflect poorly on you.
Learning how to format a resume is the way to get a new job or begin a new career as a personal assistant. Should you need more assistance when formatting your resume, you may find the tips and tricks on LiveCareer helpful.

Excel product price list template, Pricing is one of the most critical components of every level of business. Retailers will need to keep their prices competitive to attract consumers. Wholesalers need to offer prices in line with the industry standard so as to sell to retailers. Suppliers of raw materials must keep their costs close to those of their competitors to remain viable with manufacturers. It is a very simple concept. Any business or individual will seek the lowest price unless there's a good reason to not do so, such as quality or prestige. If an equal or similar good is cheaper, you will get the sale.
Because sellers know buyers want the best price, one of the main pricing factors in our market is competitive reaction to cost. The purchase price for a similar good or service will gravitate to a certain point as a consequence of this. While consumers often suspect collusion, this is normally not the case. Competitors normally have similar inputs, and they can easily discover each other's costs as people are public information.
A business that knows its rivals are charging significantly more and getting away with it, they will raise their prices to benefit from that demand. On the other hand, if a company sees its competitors cutting prices and taking customers, it is going to drop its prices to maintain. A company might also employ an opposite competitive response to cost, like lowering prices when a competitor goes up. This is done in the hopes of taking away customers that are unwilling or not able to pay the higher price.
Of course, there are limits to the ability of companies to adjust their prices to the competition, because of the fact that there are pricing factors aside from competition. If the costs of production go up business wide, companies will have no choice but to increase their own rates. A business heavily dependent on transportation, for instance, will need to raise its prices due to the high price of gas. The current drought is driving up grain prices, making food more expensive across the board. Rates can also be constrained by demand. If nobody is willing to pay a certain price, a company simply cannot charge that price. Check it out the sample of excel product price list template below at the attachment page.

Reducing e-Waste
It is no secret that e-waste is one of the biggest issues facing the high-tech supply chain. Shorter product lifecycles, the proliferation of mobile devices, the complexity of these devices, and the Internet-driven media boom have dramatically increased the number of electronic devices produced each year. In turn, the amount of e-waste that is generated per year has dramatically increased as well.
According to a study published in 2012 by the Nicholas School of Environment at Duke University, in the United States 3 million tons of e-waste is produced every year. The study goes on to state that on a global basis, e-waste generation is growing by 40 million tons per year.

COPENHAGEN • A Danish town has made it mandatory for public institutions to serve pork, drawing mixed reactions in what has been dubbed the Nordic country's "meatball war".
The town council of Randers in central Denmark said it wanted to ensure that municipal institutions such as nurseries provided "Danish food culture as a central part of the offering - including serving pork on an equal footing with other foods".
While it said the aim was not to force anybody to eat anything that "goes against one's belief or religion", the move was welcomed by the anti-immigration Danish People's Party (DPP), which said it was "unacceptable to ban Danish food culture".
"The DPP is working nationally and locally for Danish culture, including Danish food culture, and consequently we also fight against Islamic rules and misguided considerations dictating what Danish children eat," party spokesman Martin Henriksen wrote on Facebook.
By contrast, a former integration minister with the Danish Social Liberal Party, Mr Manu Sareen, accused the Randers politicians of "wanting to impose a forced ideology... in this case on children".
The town council of Randers said the aim was not to force anybody to eat anything that "goes against one's belief or religion".
"It really is incredible what politicians... get involved in," he wrote on Facebook.
Whether public institutions should be allowed to stop serving pork out of respect for Muslims has been a subject of heated debate in Denmark since 2013, when former prime minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt criticised nurseries that dropped pork from their menus.
In a subsequent survey, the tabloid Ekstra Bladet found that only 30 of the country's 1,719 day- care institutions had either stopped serving pork or switched to halal meat, which is meat prepared following Muslim rules.
The DPP agreed in November 2013 to abandon a closely fought mayoral campaign in suburban Copenhagen if the incumbent promised to serve more pork meatballs in public canteens and to bring back the town's official Christmas tree.
Denmark is home to 5.6 million people and about 13 million pigs, and sales of pork products and live pigs account for around 5 per cent of the country's exports.

Way To Carry Change; Potential & Authority or Man Will?
You are little, you are not yet graduated, you may have no resources, you have no money and principally you are not widely known and knowledgeable. These text are often applied when a single tells you that you simply can't accomplish this. People usually believe that merely a king, us president or a standard can bring enhancements made on the world.
This is positively fallacious. Instead of saying a group of concerned people, Detailed rather claim a uneasy individual shall do to bring fantastic change in readers' life. It is a misapprehension as we think that just a man within authorization is capable of doing certain important things.
The way in which easily most of us curse each of our leaders around power any time something awful happens. My spouse and i admit power is a great point and they will use it anytime to make points better. Nonetheless somewhere, it's our fault as we be expecting everything from typically the leaders that can be in our individual hands. Their a replicated thing, we should get used to that, that every guy when is supplied power will help make you think he is the best and we know after that. We unawares pass decision like 'how they are acquiring fun', 'using power for own benefits', 'betraying most of their people' and so on etc . Ab muscles and shoulders we keep in mind that they already have much on their discs, for favourable thoughts deliver positive changes. Thinking exactly how in the brand of leaderships they are existing an opulent life induces more and more violence only. Preparing a lot. In each little challenge we launch protests and what is the results? We finish up hurting our very own selves, eradicating our own overall economy and infuriating our own circumstances.
How much does power signify? To me, electrical power just is not to mean authority as well as dominance. It is real interpretation is robustness, potential or even ability and that we all currently have these things undetectable some wherever in us all. Joseph Stalin once explained,
'I have faith in one thing exclusively, the power of human will'
If frontrunners have energy to change factors by ruling than the rest of us have power to change the world by their own enthusiasm. ' If you find a could, there is a way': short but very reflected provoking. Once we demand alter, we will just find a way in making change.
Young Trainees Shireen Desposeer, Hasan Mermar and Professional Ayub Empowering Street Young children through Knowledge
Authorities is related to so many issues of specific to it that it did not heed for the demand with schools or education that is generated by people pertaining to poor young children. Even if colleges are started, there are so many who will not find the money for even paying 1000 rupees hence seeing this Get better at Ayub along with a brother-sister (Shireen and Hasan Zafar) duet brought education to the roadway of Islamabad and karachi respectively. Inferior children who experience to sell items to make money and can even not go to class, they carried class room for many years. The thing so that you can heed at is that they Shireen and Hasan Zafar usually are young pupils and Learn Ayub is surely an old man; regular men and women without electricity but with expertise. They are wanting to bring switch only by what they have-knowledge. They did never wait for the time for it to reach a position of power or electricity, instead most of their concern for those abysmal circumstances of streets child besides motivated these phones take mandatory action in order to ameliorate the specific situation but also influenced many others and much much more people arrived at donate to help them.
Poverty is globe's greatest trouble. Seeing federal government failing to settle it, numerous people are coming forward to accomplish what they does. After divider of kindness, wall of gifts even a refrigerator regarding food seems to have opened by simply people the they make juices and also food pertaining to poor. These little hard work is leading to significant changes. Likewise, work done through people for instance Abdul Sattar Edhi in addition to Mother Teresa has brought major changes in the resides of many people today despite the fact that they didn't currently have any governments authority and also power although only good will and even determination to assist their member human beings.
All these attempts will be proving which you mere need to be spirited in no way powerful. Moreover, humans are inclined to follow decent deeds these see. For this reason we have a good amount of abilities for making significant variations and deal with the prevalent injustices inside society presented we have the need power to do so.
There are so many hopes which we abandon due to the fact we truly feel its possibly not the right time and can not achieve this. Never think we do not possess power, most people do have and that's our will power, much greater versus dominating strength.
The Greatest Muhammad Ali(1942-2016); GRAB
Planet's population holders at 7 billion consumers, yet you will find few people who have enjoy the prestige and praise as appreciated by the Greatest Muhammad Ali. Muhammad Ali is the brightest star within the sports galaxy. The boxing sensation, known for his skill fighting ability, humanistic valuations, and motivational quotes, is awarded with the title of 'Sports man within the century'. If you have one predictable thing in our planet which are not to be conquered simply by humans it's certainly fatality, but in Muhammad Ali's claim his own quotation holds to get true
'Your soul along with spirit certainly not die, which would live forever'
There is a ton to learn by his personal success and we try and motivate this audience simply by sharing a few photos and even quotes associated with Muhammad Ali.
'He that is not courageous enough for taking risks may accomplish very little in life. '
'Service to be able to others may be the rent everyone pay for your current room here on this website earth'
'The man with no creative thinking has no wings'
'The fella who feelings the world at 50 just like he have at 15 has burned 30 years involving his existence. '
'I know wherever I'm going and I know the truth, and I do not have to be what you deserve me to generally be. I'm unengaged to be things i want'
'Float like a chipmunks, sting as being a bee'
Allama Muhammad Iqbal, great Urdu poet plus philosopher aptly remarks for the people like Muhammad Ali as
If the ego is definitely self? retaining, self? setting up and personal? sustaining,
In that case it is possible which will even dying customwriting review may not allow you to die .
Currently the world provides lost but not just an amazing sportsperson but also a true inspiring intellect. Muhammad Ali was a correct legend at all cost. He has delivered great assistance to the the human race and sports he'll usually live in the exact pages associated with history. Remainder in Tranquility Muhammad Ali

Telling Humanizing Stories That Are #MoreThanTrans
By Basil Soper
A year ago, Urban Matters introduced its readers to Transilient, a traveling photojournalism project that, in the words of its founders, wants to show the world that "trans people are more than our gender identities." We asked them for an update on their work; here's their report, including photos from trans profiles done during the 2017 Southern and Southwestern tour described below.
Transilient believes that no matter what kind of trans or non-binary person the world sees one as, the word "person" should shine through beyond the word "transgender." We also know that's not as simple as it sounds; a recent poll found that 25% of Americans wouldn't be friends with a transgender person. Transilient, which began two-and-a-half years ago, attempts to remedy this with humanizing stories and images that go beyond gender identity. Trans and non-binary people are your mail person, doctor, neighbor, local risk taker, traveler, and artist – people who lead routine American lives. We are #MoreThanTrans.
During the summer of 2017, with the help of a "Prized Solution" grant from the Center for New York City Affairs, the Transilient project traveled the Deep South and Southwest for six weeks, starting in Miami and ending in San Francisco. We profiled 70 people. (We also received a small sponsorship through the National Center for Transgender Equity.)
While we didn't map the tour with state legislation in mind, we arrived in Texas during the battle over passing a "bathroom bill" there, and worked with GLAAD, a national organization that has monitored discriminatory reporting in the media for more than 30 years. We also witnessed an incredible amount of isolation, poverty, and lack of medical and emotional resources, and found that trans people have been pushed aside during this time of political turmoil. The country is so fragmented, the current Administration has it out for trans folks, and people are being bombarded with causes and pain, and argue over who has what privilege. Nothing has changed for the better.
Personally, I believe the best way to shift the trans narrative and educate society is through the mainstream media. During last summer's tour, Buzzfeed did a profile on us that caused the project to gain a larger following on social media. INTO did an intimate interview with me while in L.A. which propelled people to support Transilient's mission. In its short history, Transilient has been featured in publications such as Refinery 29, Bustle, Crixeo, Mashable, The Advocate, and OUT magazine.
Simultaneously we need to grant space to community members to build self-confidence. That's why we're building Transilient as a full trans-led operation. Last summer, I brought Jonah Welch and SahLeem Butler on tour with me. Klie Kliebert and Carmen Butler, both based in New Orleans, built a communications team and kept us going while on tour. Using my experience with this type of traveling documentation, I was able to skill-share with my new teammates and, in the process, produce more work with diverse perspectives. Klie and Jonah have now become permanent partners on the Transilient team, as director of photography and communications director, respectively. While I direct the team, the project has always been collaborative. All of us, and volunteers, transcribe interviews; I edit them and choose what is presented to the public. Having this much involvement and diversity in the project gives the work a richer array of perspectives and thoughts. It also allows me to focus on what I am good at: media outreach, volunteer coordinating, writing, and raising funds.
Our next tour will be this fall. Starting in Pennsylvania and ending in Washington State, we'll hit rural areas across the middle of the country. The same vision will guide us in 2018. We will be giving our community members a chance to show off how unique and interesting they are while going to areas that get very little LGBT visibility. Homelessness and unemployment plague the trans and non-binary community. Equity is one of the largest values shared by the Transilient team. We feel obligated to help build up our community through financial support and skill sharing. We have received grants from LUSH cosmetics and a sponsorship with the It Gets Better Project that will cover the next year's expenses, but we still need funds to pay the assistants we plan to take on tour with us. It's unreasonable to ask marginalized people to leave their lives for a month and a half and go back empty-handed and at risk for homelessness. Please consider donating to our fundraiser here.
What started off as a crazy traveling photo pipe dream has grown into a nationally recognized project and fledgling organization. Our long-term goals include publishing a book of our work and building a trans artist residency for trans folks of all ages.

Collective Bargaining Process Homework Example
Collective Bargaining Process Homework Example The exact paper "Collective Bargaining Process" is a ideal example of any management assignment. Collective negotiating is a progression where personnel of a certain organization match together as well as converse with their employers upon various problems concerning their whole employment. Across the world, collective negotiating is the technique by which union and the employees' representatives connect with and buy a new agreement concerning toil. Although around the globe collective bargaining has a a lot more legal effects, in general perception it is the forthcoming together in the employees so that you can negotiate the terms in their employment while using employer. You will find the element of the very collective agreement which means a new labor arrangement that is fixed between a company and staff or a commitment that is came into in by an employee, a company, and a hard work union. The a collective bargaining will involve the companies not adoring a contract between them and the workforce or in the event the employers think of a new insurance policy that does not benefit the employees but on the other hand favors them. This is often interpreted to be able to mean that the management of any organization does come up with guidelines that do possibly not favor employees but however favors the actual employer or perhaps the management of the organization. On this scenario, employees may come develop a organization bargain process and this implies 123helpme.me that the organization will need to have to come up with a much better policy. Yet , this insurance coverage will have to be discussed by many people and not by means of all the employees of the financial institution. This means that the employees will have to formulate some officials or marriage leaders. Sometimes where there are simply no unions in that , organization, employees appoint some representatives. All over the world, there is the opportunity of a core organization about labor assemblages which is incredibly instrumental with negotiating for your employees considering the employees. Should the collective negotiating talks get started, the persons may come for an agreement, some compromise or even disagreement. Should the parties reach an agreement, the employees continue functioning under brand new policies as well as old suggestions of job are recalled. If the get-togethers come to any compromise, this means one of the people agree to deliver the results under a clear policy with some clauses eliminated or kept in mind. When the get-togethers come to some sort of disagreement, next there is the risk of the workers fat loss strike. A strike is normally when the individuals refuse to deliver the results under a specific condition along with the organization has to come to through new cover of recruitment. Of importance is a contract around employees and also employers. The contract is required to be honored through both parties and even must be visit if each party feel that they could be recycled being oppressed by the other party.
Viewers that You Are About to Present to Coursework Example
The paper "Audience that You Are Likely to Present to" is an outstanding example of a language essay. Target market analysis certainly a significant consideration for a speaker or a public speaker because this delivers him an effective measure of what is available from the audience. He must know who this type of person and what most of their backgrounds might be comprised of. Rather, it would be much better for the speaker to have a undemanding, easy, basic, simple grasp belonging to the audience's good sense of information related to the subject that is going to often be delivered with the presenter themself. Analyzing typically the audience is carried out through the amalgamation of right data where the target audience is concerned. Could be done from the assistance of the organizers who are arranging the actual presentation for any audience along with the people who are a major contributor to having the situation in the first place. Besides questionnaires may very well be given to the very audience to determine what they look into the subject accessible whilst wondering their education and learning levels and also whether or not they previously worked professionally in life. This could be accomplished before the demonstration is about to begin (Snyder 2004). However , in order to make the demonstration sound even more prepared plus thorough, it may be better to find out about the people a few days ahead of the actual presentation. Hence only those people would be invited who know already about this topic in one link or the various other. This will employ a good blend the correct type of the crowd that is going to stay the introduction and any amount of wastage that could occur in such a case might possibly be dispelled promptly.
Being human That the Account Metamorphosis Speaks of What Opinions Do Dissertation Example
The paper "Human Nature How the Story Metamorphosis Conveys Just what Thoughts Do" is an excellent example of a literary works essay. Study of the Transformation by Franz Kafka Franz Kafka depicts the meaning for metamorphosis of the protagonist Gregor Samsa through showcasing your man as a vermin. Although following much introspection, one would recognize that the representation relates to the changes that occurred in Gregory's psychological appearing rather than the external. That internal transformation additionally served like a catalyst to the metamorphosis about his household. Sit'sts besides the child who altered here, but , like a domino effect, likewise the family. Because the family possesses experienced fiscal difficulties a result of collapse on their business, Gregor took it upon themselves to support their family and little by little pay off their own debts, even while all of the close family lived idly and in comfort. "In these days, Gregor's sole concern happened to be to do all in his capacity to make the family members forget quickly the business problems which got plunged every person into a assert of complete despair" (Kafka 26). They did not pursue his own ambitions. He has been recently happy being in position to help his or her family. Along with why not? It is actually but human nature to feel the want to help our purposes whenever we will, and with the ability to do so delivers us an satisfaction. Still after a while, the efforts are unappreciated as the friends and family takes his or her generosity since something standard. And that's a further vexing our flaw whenever you see that something is already envisioned, we see less of it, we turned into used to that, and supervises the amour made associated with it. For that reason there having been, living pertaining to his family and not for his home, but unrewarded. It is kind of sad, that the family mainly sees your man as a financial resource in excess of as a family member. When they heard bout Gregor's change for better, instead of turning into worried about this condition, the best way hes sensing and what occurred to the pup, they have more concerned about him or her not being capable to work. In order that compelled these phones find themselves positions, and they just about all found you for each individuals. But as soon enough as they found they can monetarily support most of their way of living, Gregor loses his importance within the family. Gregor eventually drops dead and as the reaction to which, his daddy said: 'We can give thanks to God to that! ' (Kafka 577). Bad isn't the idea?

How to make a magnetic pin dish/
It's really simple to make a magnetic pin dish from a charity shop or thrift store find. Pin dishes are so useful for anyone who sews.
This is a paid post for Bostik. Bostik also provided me with the Power Repair Adhesive used for this project.
Today I'm joining the Repurpose and Upcycle Blog Hop with a group of creative bloggers, we've all been challenged to create a project from a thrift store find without spending more than $20 for all supplies needed. We don't actually have thrift stores here in the UK but we have charity shops which are pretty much the same thing (and are just about my favourite kind of shop!) I'm sharing the simplest of simple ideas, how to make a magnetic pin dish.
Meet this month's co-hosts!
Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me
Stone Cottage Adventures
Domestic Deadline | Cookies, Coffee, and Crafts Sum of Their Stories | Sew Crafty Crochet
Domestic Deadline | Cookies, Coffee, and Crafts
Sum of Their Stories | Sew Crafty Crochet
Pin dishes are brilliant, I don't know why they are so much easier than a pin cushion. It's honestly not difficult to stick a pin into a pincushion but when you are on a roll with your sewing just dropping pins quickly into a pin dish just feels quicker and easier. If your dish is magnetic then all the better, the pins stay put even if you fling them around a little bit!
Making your own magnetic pin dish is SO easy, let's get started.
To make a magnetic pin dish you will need:
A shallow dish
A thin strong neodymium magnet
A Strong permanent glue - I used Bostik's Power Repair
You can use any suitable shallow dish. A charity shop or thrift store is a perfect place to find one. A saucer that's lost its tea cup would be perfect, or a little dipping sauce dish maybe. One of those little dishes for rings or earrings would also be perfect. Ceramic is nice but it doesn't really matter, glass, metal or plastic is ok too. Whatever small dish you find that you like the look of will work just fine.
I found a few little dishes very inexpensively in my local charity shop, each one was less than £1. The little square dish with the sewing things design was one I actually already had, it was a gift so I'm afraid I don't know where it came from.
This couldn't be simpler, all you need to do is turn your dish over and glue the magnet to the bottom. The Bostik Power repair has a clever 'double' top so you can just remove the black cap and use a fine nozzle or remove all the grey cap and have a thicker nozzle - clever stuff! I just applied a small blob using the small nozzle.
Leave it to dry for a good 24 hours and then you are ready to use your simple magnetic pin dish. You can see the glue dries clear and the bond is super strong.
The pins are attracted to the dish and don't go all over the floor. Any sewist who has family who moan about stepping on pins will know what a bonus this will be!
As you can see I made 2 dishes, one for me to keep (the square sewing design one, as the dish was a gift to me it's only right I keep that one for myself) and one to give to a friend. They were so quick to put together and although it's only been a week since I made them I already can't imagine how I managed without my magnetic pin dish when I'm sewing! They are also great for cleaning up afterward. Just run the empty dish over the floor when you've finished sewing and any stray pins get lifted up so easily.
I'll be sharing this idea at these link ups.

Celebrity advertising has long been a mainstay of the marketing industry. People instinctually trust those they feel they know, and with the rise of mass media, television, and the internet in the 20th century, all of a sudden there was a large crowd of popular people the public felt they knew and could trust. Shrewd marketers were able to take advantage of this, and use the presence of celebrities in commercials and ads to successfully market their products and services.
According to new data recently put out by the television analytics firm Ace Metrix and cited in Forbes, in many cases the so-called power celebrity endorsements bring to the table may not be worth much, at all. In fact, the meta-analysis seems to surprisingly indicate that in many cases, the presence of celebrities may actually have negatively impacted the performance of those pieces of advertising.
How could this be the case?
While there are many possible explanations, here's three worth exploring:
- Identifying With Celebrities Increasingly More Difficult – No matter how much people may love an athlete, musician, actor, or other celebrity, seeing a connection between them and a product is increasingly difficult for most people. Unable to find a relevant connection between the celebrity and the product, the advertising message can often be diluted or lost with little measurable impact upon the viewer.
- People Value Opinions of Friends and Relatives More – According to Zach Mangum, co-founder of GroSocial "The average Facebook user now has nearly 200 friends." He went on to observe that "Combined with the fact that nearly 90% of people openly admit they are influenced by the recommendations of friends and relatives when it comes to purchasing goods and services, the true value of social media quickly becomes clear." Organic, genuine outreach on social media trumps paid celebrity endorsement by an order of magnitude.
- Celebrity Fees Take Money Away from Production Value – A final consideration is the fees that celebrities often ask for in order to secure their participation in advertising campaigns, which are becoming ever more exorbitant. The number of celebrities seeking in excess of $1m for a 30 second TV spot is rising fast, and in most cases the marketing campaign would be far better served investing that capital directly into the production values of the ads themselves, rather than frittering it away on something of dubious value like celebrity endorsement.
So, where does this leave advertisers? Surprisingly, not far from where they started in the first place; according to the Forbes analysis of the study, they expect little to change in the marketing world as a result of these new revelations.
Despite every measurable indicator demonstrating that marketing campaigns which employ compelling and creative content far outperform those that rely on gimmicks such as celebrity endorsement, it seems that marketing executives may be as susceptible to becoming star struck as the rest of the general public.
Don't expect to see celebrity advertising disappearing any time soon, although the savviest companies will avoid employing them in their social media and elsewhere, as they explore other marketing options which yield superior results.

Tell success stories about the change process, and repeat other stories you hear. Instead, the employee will be content to tell the customer, "Sorry, that's just how it works," and then the employee lets the customer hang up, still frustrated. If a certain behavior, in the presence of a certain stimulus, is followed by a desirable consequence a reinforcerthe emitted behavior will increase in frequency in the future, in the presence of the stimulus that preceded the behavior or a similar one.
So how do you keep your employees on board for the road to recovery? I am a firm believer that managing change in the workplace as well as employee motivation is an ongoing progress.
Going back to our reference to systems, strategies are processes in the system. In one study, when children were given mild threats against playing with an attractive toy, it was found that the threat actually served to increase the child's interest in the toy, which was previously undesirable to the child in the absence of threat.
Larger companies can bring higher salaries to bear in this struggle. Often, they don't want to risk giving authority to subordinates in case they fail and impair the organization.

Poor Customer Service Customer service suffers when employees have no motivation. Dr Graham Dietz of Durham Business School warns against this and offers advice on ensuring your company's contract remains in good health. Activated "seeking" behavior, such as locomotor activity, is influenced by dopaminergic drugs, and microdialysis experiments reveal that dopamine is released during the anticipation of a reward.
You can harness the positive effects of employee motivation on organizational performance by using your business resources to create ideal working conditions for all employees, including talented individuals who prefer working for a smaller company.
Employees who lack motivation lack the energy and enthusiasm to try different solutions that may not make sense, but they keep trying until they find a solution that makes sense and works.
Too often, the plan sits collecting dust on a shelf. Intrinsic motivation can be long-lasting and self-sustaining. In large, ongoing planning processes such as strategic planning, business planning, project planning, etc.

Not only can intrinsic motivation be used in a personal setting, but it can also be implemented and utilized in a social environment. Instead, they need to focus on the right things that together create a more motivating work environment for their employees.

Make Change Stick The final stage requires continuous efforts to ensure that the change is seen in every aspect of your organization.

It's just natural to expect results when you make a change. Once you implement a new employee onboarding process, you're bound to see its effects in your organization, whether desirable or otherwise, depending on how effective or ineffective your onboarding is.

Teenage girl's death sentence spotlights Sudan's failure to tackle forced marriage, gender-based violence - UN rights office
The case of Noura Hussein Hammad Daoud, a Sudanese teenager convicted of fatally stabbing the man she was forced to marry, after he had allegedly raped her, highlights the country's failure to tackle the tragedy of early and forced marriage, marital rape and other discrimination and violence against women and girls, the United Nations human rights office said.
Women are powerful actors in sustaining peace but they make up a minority of UN Peacekeeping forces around the world. UN Women supports trainings that prepare female military officers for peacekeeping operations by providing exposure, visibility and opportunities for professional advancement, creating connections to exchange information and provide support, and promoting gender equality and gender mainstreaming in missions.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jsbloom from So Comfortable and Stylish I will admit, I'll buy almost anything of it is in a stripe, but this blew me away. I have several turtlenecks from over the last few decades, they hold up very well!, but these are different. They are thinner, but in a great way. They don't feel tight at the neck but they look good. The shape is fitted but not at all tight. The material is so soft! I'm getting 2 of each color to make sure I will have these around a few decades.

Is this actually a sweater?
No, it's like a stretchy T-shirt.
Date published: 2019-09-08
Is this turtleneck "relaxed fit" or is a choker?
It's not so tight that I would call it a "choker". Stands up nicely. The neck is comfortable however I'm considering sizing up to a size medium from a small as I found the upper arms to be rather snug.

Most Small Business Owners know focusing on providing the best solution to their customer's needs is essential, and many are starting to realize the true scope that consumers are basing decisions on. While delivering a quality product or service is the barrier to entry, more and more consumers are judging the value of the transaction based on their overall experience. According to Oracle, "86% of buyers will pay more for a better brand experience, but only 1% feel that vendors consistently meet expectations." By taking a close look at how their customers are interacting with their company across all stages of the customer journey, the 1% of Experience-Focused Companies consistently outperform competitors in both customer satisfaction and profitability by delivering on-target experiences that their customers find enjoyable and valuable. While there are numerous actions and areas to focus on when improving your customer experience, all efforts to shift your focus will fail if your entire company isn't on board. Whether you're already managing multiple teams or are just starting, imbuing your company culture with a Customer Experience focus will provide a unique competitive advantage for years to come.
Start From the Top Down
The CEO, which in most Small Businesses is also the Owner, is ultimately responsible for creating and maintaining a competitive culture that inspires innovation and development. As Forbes pointed out, "Culture is the secret sauce for some of today's most innovative and competitive companies." Without strong commitment and buy-in from the top levels of leadership in your company, it is nearly impossible to empower your team members to make purely customer-focused decisions. As the leader of your company, you are responsible for determining which initiatives and investments are priorities; without a clear signal that the entire management team supports a focus on Experience, your internal alignment efforts will wither. Create a culture where customer experience is openly and actively discussed, in addition to being the primary principle used in your own, and your team's, decision-making process.
Lead by Example
The first place to start is by making your own decisions with Customer Experience in mind. However it goes much further than that. The experience you create daily for your employees shapes how they perceive your business, and the amount of effort they will put in towards your success. As Shep Hyken of Help Scout describes, "You must start on the inside, with your employees. What's happening on the inside is felt on the outside by customers, and to be the best place to buy from, you must first be the best company to work for… Do unto your employees as you want done unto the customer- or better!" The experience employees have with your company is a large factor in how they perceive the value you, as the owner, intend for your company to provide. It is difficult to convince your employees that your company provides the "premier" experience for your market when they are using inadequate equipment to complete their work. Teach your employees to recognize opportunities to improve the experience for customers by making improvements to their overall employee experience. When your employees expect a great experience, they become more aware of when your company fails to meet that bar.
Check out what the Online Mattress Retailer Tuft & Needle had to say to Forrester about how they create a Customer Experience focused culture:
Re-Define Success
To solidify a lasting change for your current and future employees, you'll need to redefine and expand key performance indicators. According to HBR, "The adage 'You can't manage what you don't measure' applies to customer centricity, too. Managers will be motivated and equipped to cultivate a customer-centric culture if they know if and how it impacts results, so organizations should ensure they establish and track the link between culture and customer impact." This is because when your metrics are purely focused on profit, it makes it difficult for employees to justify decisions with long-term payoffs. Jeff Pruitt on Inc.com illuminates: "Every interaction within the company should demonstrate a commitment to the customer experience… whether it's developing a new feature within your product or answering a phone call, your team should be able to deliver a consistent experience and make appropriate decisions that elevate the customer's impression of the brand." Zappos famously encourages their customer service team to spend as much time as the phone as possible, with one agent spending over 9 hours helping a single customer! Redefining what your management team considers success empowers employees to focus on creating exceptional experiences.
While metrics are a great place to start, some experience focused companies are going even further and incentivizing all employees based on Customer Experience Focused KPIs. Donna Morris at Adobe calls this "giving every employee skin in the game." She says that for employees to know that customer-oriented attitudes and behaviors are expected from them, there has to be "an element of risk" to it. Adobe updated their compensation program to include a short-term cash incentive plan that reflects customer success measures such as retention, in addition to traditional revenue performance goals. According to Yohn, "The program not only makes tangible the contributions to the customer that every employee makes but also produces organization-wide alignment because everyone is working toward the same goals."
Wrapping It Up
By starting from the top down, leading by example, and redefining what success looks like, your business can focus on tangible improvements that your customers find valuable. Make the quality of the customer experience you provide as a real a product as what you're selling. The most successful companies aren't just chosen for the products they provide; they're chosen for the overall customer experience they create.

Two fresh ideas on migration
Paddington Bear, the ultimate refugee, would never have made it past the recent terrorism and refugee-inspired checks. Some of my followers, holidaying in Europe, may even now be reading this while standing in endless airport queues.
Here is one reason for the checks: in the first half of 2017, the Italian Ministry of Interior registered 83,752 new migrant arrivals, which is the highest number recorded for this period since 2014, with thousands arriving every week in these peak summer months. It is no coincidence that the populist Five Star Movement is running neck to neck with the centre-left Democratic Party in polling for the 2018 general election.
The issue of migrants divides countries, allies, regional groupings, all at a time when a unified front is the only way to deal with it, as well as other related problems confronting mankind, such as climate change and Islamic terrorism.
Transformational factors are at play which will increase humanitarian disasters, leading to an explosion in the numbers of migrants and refugees over the coming decades, says Dr Randolph Kent, a former United Nation official whose roles included Humanitarian Coordinator in Somalia and Kosovo. He envisages migration flows that could be analogous to the flows of tribes in north-east Asia in the 12th century, numbering hundreds of millions.
"And, unlike the 14 million refugees that moved between Pakistan and India in 1947, the vast numbers that one can foresee in the future will also have access to sophisticated weapons," he states in an article for the International Review of the Red Cross.
Our increasingly complex eco-systems guarantee this outcome through the weakening of the post-war global system, the inter-related threat of cybernetic attacks, the resurgence of sovereignty, population growth, demographic shifts, the wildfire effect of social networking, climate change and wars.
Given that large movements of people in search of family safety and/or a better life are going to be an increasing feature of our society, valiant attempts to categorise "economic migrants" separately from "refugees" fleeing war, with rights under international law, are useful only at the margin.
Migration per se is not a zero-sum game where one less migrant means one more job for a local – the local who may well be the product of a substandard education and a Western benefits system. For the many countries with declining working age populations, lower migration means crops left unpicked, engineering jobs left unfilled and a faster uptake of robots. Any complacency in the UK about a Mediterranean-based influx solely to the Continent ignores the evermore sophisticated smuggling networks.
Dealing with repercussions in the social order, integration and a host of other issues is a challenge for us and the next generations. Visionary ideas are needed. I came across two recently.
Former US Secretary of State John Kerry gave the 53rd annual lecture at think tank Ditchley Park in Oxfordshire last month. The house had been a weekend home to Prime Minister Winston Churchill during World War II. It was an appropriate venue for another committed internationalist to express his ideas.
Kerry called for a Marshall Plan for the 21st century by a doubling up of the developed world's bet on the promise of globalisation – not only confined to the developing world, but to the West and wealthy OECD countries – in order to strike at the roots of the despair leading to populism and extremism.
He spoke of the "largest public-private partnership the world has ever seen" by having the West partner with China, busy with its "Belt and Road" policy of investing in the developing world to boost trade and stimulate economic growth across Asia. Kerry called for a global initiative that would release "some of the $12-13 trillion that today is sitting in net negative interest rate status around the world". He believes this would strike at the roots of extremism and hopelessness by developing education and job opportunities around the world.
His vision encompassed developing clean energy, which has the potential to become the largest market the world has ever seen, and harnessing the power of technology which is already leaving too many people behind. Rather than reacting to change, the private sector and governments need to do more to shape the future through unified action. Rooting out corruption would be critical to delivering the programme.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has also been looking at the Marshall Plan idea, consulting with private sector investors in Africa.
The second visionary idea comes from Tolu Olubunmi and the World Economic Forum, which already recognised her a couple of years ago as one of 15 women changing the world. She co-chairs Mobile Minds, an initiative focused on remote working as an alternative to migration. For talented individuals who do not necessarily want to leave home but cannot find jobs, remote and mobile work are a way forward.
For countries with declining populations, this is a way around the political backlash from local populations. Benefits for companies include increased access to talent, cost savings and reduced turnover, while societal benefits include global traffic mitigation and a decreased brain drain from the developing world to the developed world.
US-based Olubunmi does not underestimate the challenges of a widespread implementation of cross-border remote work – compliance issues, consistency of fair labour standards, a tangle of employment laws, among others. But as a Nigerian national and a trained chemical engineer who arrived in the US as an undocumented and unemployed migrant, her own story gives credence and lends determination to this globally transformational agenda.
Paddington Bear turned out to be the right sort of refugee, despite his inauspicious start. An immigration officer would have judged that the short, brown figure lacking in skills – as evidenced by the label round his neck that read "Please look after this bear" – would not be GDP-enhancing. Yet if one could measure added value by the laughter of children and adult alike, or marmalade sandwiches, the naughtiest bear in the world broke all the records.

We are nearing the end of July and that means that before we know it the summer will be over and school will be back in session. The bittersweet start of a new school year means one thing – it's time to go back to school shopping! Whether you are a local TCU gal or heading back to your out-of-town college in a few weeks, we have some incredible outfits for all of the occasions college brings. In class, on a date, studying, at the bar – we've got you covered for all of your back to school fashion needs and more.
Our stylists coordinated some chic looks for you to add to your back to school wardrobe this fall. Best news of all, so many of these looks are on sale at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (one of our favorite times of the year!) – you know we can't resist a good bargain!
Going for a comfortable look that's a little more than PJ's? Why not go with a comfy athleisure look for your back to school style?! Leggings are arguably the 'college uniform' staple piece. When our stylists were in college, we agreed that we collectively lived in our leggings. From what we see around the TCU campus, not much has changed! Leggings continue to be the perfect bottoms for all occasions. Perfect to wear with your favorite sorority or fraternity tee casually to class! Or when the weather turns cooler, go for a comfy fleece or flannel to help keep you warm.
Although our stylists agree, we'd prefer to be comfortable while sitting in a desk all day, sometimes we have to rise to the occasion and dress professionally for our classes' special requirements. Presentations and speeches are unavoidable, and often times a more professional business attire is required by the teacher for these occasions. For times like these, why not look stylish and executive? A trendy print skirt paired with a more neutral basic is the perfect way to look fun and classy at the same time. Even better, throw on a cami and take this skirt from 'business room' to 'bar'!
Choosing an outfit for a study date with someone you've had your eye on? Wear this outfit to the library to hit the books in style. These outfits are some versatile back to school fashion pieces. Even better, this outfit could easily be transitioned to a dinner or a dessert outing after you finish studying. Can we all just take a moment of silence to gush over this Gucci bucket bag? I mean seriously, could there be a more gorgeous fall bag?
Going from a Friday afternoon class to a Friday evening party? Wear the tennis shoes to class and toss your booties in your bag for later! When you're ready to hit the town maybe swap out the neutral lip tint for something a little bolder for night time. Give your hair a tousle and lower the neckline of the dress with easy zip and you're all set! We love some good back to school fashion that can go from day-to-night.
It wouldn't be a style blog without talking about some of the upcoming fall trends. First of all, the 'it' coat of the season is a longline jacket – go ahead and get you one before everyone else. Patterned wide-leg pants are carrying forward into the new season along with of the earth neutrals like this sultry clay red. Throw in the blue hues and accessories to compliment the raw red-orange shade for an effortless, trendy look.
Our style team is here for all of your fashion needs. Whether you are looking for rush outfits, formal dresses or a completely new back to school fall wardrobe – we can help! Head over to our 'Image Consulting' section of our website to learn more about our professional styling services.
Not sure what you need? That's okay, we are here to help! Contact us today to schedule your free 30-minute phone consultation with one of our stylists. We will discuss exactly what you need and help you chose the service(s) that are right for you!

'Friday the 13th' all slash, no scare
Fri., Feb. 13, 2009
Let's celebrate "Friday the 13th" with a little red meat, shall we? And hard numbers.
There are 13 grisly deaths in this latest sequel: machete decapitations, an arrow through the head, somebody burned to death in a sleeping bag – you know the slasher drill.
Three nubile young things take their tops off. Two of them have hot sex with not-nearly-as-naked guys in the same forest by the same Crystal Lake where all those camp counselors were butchered back in the 1980 original.
This Michael Bay production is a graphic homage to the series that helped turn simple slasher pictures into a formula for success.
It may have Bay's big-budget sheen, and it's every bit as efficient and heartless as the original Fridays. But for all its attempted jolts, it's not all that scary. The genre is reduced to "Who gets it next and how?" and never for a second makes us care.
For the opening, we're treated to a blameless quintet of pot lovers murdered after they come to the ruined Camp Crystal Lake because there's weed growing there. "Six weeks later" we meet a new group of seven young people on a beer-and-booze blast at the rich boy's daddy's cabin.
A hunky biker (Jared Padalecki) is looking for his missing sister (she was in the first five). Jenna (Danielle Panabaker) wants to leave her sex, shots, skiing and bong-hitting friends to help him find her.
The difference between the worst slasher film ever and the best one is about as wide as a machete blade. They all turn bloody, horrific murders into comic sport, all feature faceless, soulless, masked (hockey, etc.) slashers, and all have plot holes so big you could drive a Zamboni through them.
"Friday the 13th" has no more room for "feeling" or "fearing" than "My Bloody Valentine."
At least last month's slasher re-boot had 3-D. "Friday" skimps on suspense and cuts straight to the beheadings.
