Shetland – Letter from Australia 6
9th September 2019 Brothers and Sisters, It seems strange writing a letter 'from Australia' when I am sitting in my room in the Alder Lodge Guest House in Lerwick (a guest house by the way that I would highly recommend!). There are not many places that are as far away from Sydney as Shetland. The contrasts are also great. Sydney is on the Western edge … Continue reading Shetland – Letter from Australia 6

bidding prayer
the formal petitionary prayer, said especially in the Anglican Church immediately before the sermon.
an intercessory prayer for persons living and dead, said in English churches up to about the middle of the 16th century.
Where Did The Phrase "Thoughts And Prayers" Come From?While increased attention to the calamities of the world is in theory a good thing, hearing about every single tragedy doesn't necessarily correlate with absolute empathy. At the very least, people—especially politicians—tend to offer up a phrase or two to acknowledge a misfortune. One of the most popular phrases? "Thoughts and prayers."

Mission/Objective: The American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma is leading the effort to save lives by teaching the civilian population to provide vital initial response to stop uncontrolled bleeding in emergency situations. This will be accomplished by the development of a comprehensive and sustainable bleeding control education and information program targeted to civilians that will inform, educate and empower the 300+million citizens of the United States.
Need: Civilians need basic training in Bleeding Control principles, so they are able to provide immediate, frontline aid until first responders are able to take over care of an injured person. Due to many situations, there may be a delay between the time of injury and the time a first responder is on the scene. Without civilian intervention in these circumstances, preventable deaths will occur.
You will receive a Course Completion Certificate at the end of class.

Teaching and Learning
Teaching and learning have always been part of St David's. These important activities in the life of the parish have ranged from support and training for assistant curates to adult study groups, and children and youth activities.
Teaching is accomplished through sermons, preparation for baptism, marriage, confirmation and admission to Holy Communion, and study groups. Two study groups meet regularly throughout the year on alternate weeks: Thursday afternoons at Estia Home, 401 Portrush Road Toorak Gardens and Wednesday evenings at the rectory. Contact the Parish Priest, Fr Paul Harris on 0435 043 752 for further information.
Next Study Group is 27/9/2018
Special focus study groups are conducted each year, particularly during Lent. Most are held in the Parish Meeting Room, but sometimes a Bible Study series is held in the home of a parishioner.
Wider community learning activities include a Primary Schools Christmas Art Project, organised through the Combined Christian Endeavours Program that reaches more than 30 schools.

Adult owls hunt within a well-defined territory, which they know well and patrol regularly at night. During its patrol, an owl visits a number of observation perches, from which it can survey the ground round about. If it hears potential prey, the owl swiftly turns its head so that it directly faces the object of interest. Then, after adequate scrutiny, it flies down to capture the prey in its outspread talons (Fig. 6.1). An owl listening from a perch or in low-level flight must be able to pinpoint the sound source both in the horizontal plane (azimuth) and in the vertical plane (elevation). In fact, unless an owl is looking down from directly above its prey, its orientation is more critical in the vertical than in the horizontal plane (Fig. 6.1b).
The use of hearing in prey capture has been studied mostly in the ubiquitous barn owl, Tyto alba. Early behavioural studies were carried out using tame individuals, which proved able to locate prey even in total darkness, and a number of simple experiments demonstrated that hearing is used to accomplish this (Payne, 1971). For example, it was found that the birds could strike accurately at a concealed loudspeaker quietly broadcasting a recording of leaf-rustling noises. This result not only showed the barn owl's ability to locate prey by hearing alone, but also opened the way for testing which features of the sound are important in localisation.
Using this technique, the accuracy of localisation was found to vary with sound frequency. The greatest accuracy was achieved with a sound containing frequencies from 6 to 9 kHz. Typically, birds are not sensitive to frequencies above 5 kHz, but the barn owl can hear up to 10 kHz, and 6-9 kHz is the range to which its ear is most sensitive. In addition, more than half the auditory neurons in a barn owl's ear are devoted to this extended frequency range of 5-10 kHz. The usual pattern is for approximately equal numbers of auditory neurons to be devoted to each doubling of frequency (octave), but the barn owl devotes a disproportionate number to the higher frequencies (Koppl, Gleich & Manley, 1993). Hence, these important frequencies can be analysed in greater detail and this arrangement may be thought of as an acoustic fovea (cf. section 6.9 on bats).
The accuracy of sound localisation has been studied in more detail by exploiting the natural response in which an owl turns to face a novel sound. The owl is trained to remain on its perch and the angle through which its head turns in response to a sound is measured using an electromagnetic angle detector (Fig. 6.2 a). In each test, the head is first aligned by attracting the owl's attention with a sound from the zeroing speaker, and then the owl is stimulated with a sound from the target speaker.
When the target speaker is placed in front of its face, the barn owl's localisation is exceptionally accurate, with an error of less than 2° in both azimuth and elevation. But the owl's accuracy deteriorates in both planes as the angle between the source and the axis of the head increases (Fig. 6.2 b). The rapid flick of the head, with which the owl responds, is initiated about
Target azimuth (degrees) Target elevation (degrees)
Figure 6.2 Orientation of the head to sounds by the barn owl (Tyto alba). (a) The method used to measure the accuracy with which the owl locates sounds coming from different positions in space. Sound stimuli originate from either a fixed source (the zeroing speaker) or a movable source (the target speaker). The search coil on top of the owl's head lies at the intersection of horizontal and vertical magnetic fields generated by the induction coils. Movement of the head in response to sound from a speaker induces a current in the search coil, which is analysed by computer to give horizontal and vertical angles of movement. (b) Localisation accuracy as a function of the position of the target speaker, showing the mean degree of error in judging target position in the horizontal plane (left) and in the vertical plane (right) for an individual owl. (Modified after Knudsen, Blasdel & Konishi, 1979.)
100 ms after the onset of the sound. However, maximum accuracy can be achieved even with brief sounds (75 ms duration) that end before movement of the head begins. This shows that the owl does not locate the sound by successive approximation but can determine the sound's precise location in space without feedback. That is to say, the owl is operating under open-loop conditions (see section 1.6).
Figure 6.3 The barn owl's ability to locate sounds in elevation. (a) A plot of auditory space in front of the owl in degrees of azimuth (L and R) and of elevation (+ and —). The symbols show individual errors in open-loop localisation of a sound source in the centre of the plot (Target) produced by partly blocking one ear. A tighter ear plug (closed circles and triangles) produces a greater localisation error than a looser ear plug (open circles and triangles). (b) The facial structures of the barn owl that contribute to localisation of sound in elevation: the facial ruff is formed from tightly packed feathers projecting from the relatively narrow skull, and the ear openings are located behind the preaural flaps. These structures are revealed by removing the sound-transparent feathers of the facial disc, which give the owl's face a flat appearance. (Modified after Knudsen & Konishi, 1979.)

These structures are revealed by removing the sound-transparent feathers of the facial disc, which give the owl's face a flat appearance. (Modified after Knudsen & Konishi, 1979.)
An indication of just what cues are involved in locating a sound is provided by partially blocking one ear, which effectively reduces the sound pressure level at that ear without significantly altering the sound's time of arrival. A plug in one ear leads to significant errors in elevation but only slight errors in azimuth (Fig. 6.3a). A plug in the left ear causes the owl to direct its head above and a little to the right of the target, and a plug in the right ear results in the owl facing below and a little to the left. The tighter the ear plug, the greater is the degree of error. This result indicates that the intensity difference between the ears is the principal cue for locating a sound in elevation.
The owl is able to use a comparison of intensity between the left and right ears to locate a sound accurately in elevation due to the arrangement of feathers on its face. The ear openings and the protective, preaural flaps are vertically displaced, the left flap being above the midpoint of the eye and the right one below it (Fig. 6.3b). There is also a slight asymmetry in the facial ruff, which is composed of dense, tightly packed feathers and forms a vertical trough behind each ear opening: the left trough is orientated downwards and the right one upwards. Because of its dense feathers, the facial ruff acts as an effective sound collector at frequencies above 4 kHz. Consequently, the asymmetries in the ruff and in the ear openings give rise to a vertical asymmetry in the directionality of the two ears: the left ear is more sensitive to high-frequency sounds from below and the right ear from above the horizontal plane. If the ruff feathers are removed, the owl is quite unable to locate sounds in elevation and always faces horizontally regardless of the true elevation of the source, but it can still locate in azimuth.
When a source of sound is not directly in front of or behind the head, sound will reach the two ears at slightly different times. In order to test the importance of these time differences, sound stimuli are delivered using miniature earphones installed in the owl's ear canals, rather than sound delivered from a distant speaker, which would inevitably produce differences in both time and intensity. With the earphones, stimuli can be made equal in intensity but different in time of arrival at the two ears. An owl responds to such a stimulus by turning its head horizontally in a direction that the time difference would represent if it were an external source of sound. The owl turns its head to the side that receives the stimulus earlier, and the angle of turning is positively correlated with the magnitude of the time difference between the ears (Moiseff & Konishi, 1981). These experiments show that the owl depends mainly on differences in time of arrival at the two ears to locate sounds in azimuth.

Email marketing is not dead and is definitely one of the most effective lead generation tool according to Digital Marketing experts. iContact reported that even though email is an old internet marketing tool, many still use email heavily on a daily basis as indicated in the graph below. The report states that email marketing still delivers a good deal for your investments, averaging a $44 ROI for every dollar spent if proper email marketing techniques are used and executed.
With the growth of the internet, the world has changed from one of information scarcity to one of information abundance. In fact, according to Google chairman Eric Schmidt "there was 5 Exabytes of information created between the dawn of civilization and 2003, but that much information is now created every two days and the pace is rapidly increasing".
However, this does not mean that you should sign up every blogger who looks to be even remotely interested in food to your weekly email about organic apples. That's just silly (and it also violates the CAN-SPAM Act!). Instead, if you see someone mention on Twitter that they're having a hard time locating organic apples in their area, consider tweeting back to ask if they've seen your online shop. Or drop them a short, polite email asking if you can help them.
Strategize follow-up: All online leads require nurturing. Even if a lead is ready to purchase a home tomorrow, they still need to get to know an agent before they invest in their services. Many systems offer instant follow-up with online leads. Few offer intelligent, behavior-based follow-up. Robust systems leverage data taken from a leads' online home search history to craft personalized email and text messages. It's 2018 — most consumers can differentiate a drip-email campaign from a personalized message.
First I want to say how impressed I have been with your company. I have dealt with a great deal of leads companies over the last 6 years and have never dealt with a more responsive company than yours. Actually they don't come close to being this quick to respond- let alone it being the owner of the company to reach out. So thank you for that! Also, thank you for the information! I'm happy with that response - I was just curious about the process. This is only my second time ordering leads at or over 10,000 in quantity.
Whether through video on Facebook Live or Instagram, or even a live-tweeting session on Twitter, show off your authority in your space. Choose an expert to represent your company, whether it's you as the owner, one of your employees, or a guest. Then, host a live session to teach a certain tip or skill, or answer a question that you know there's a need for.
I would like to try the instagram. I have been in this business since January 5 and not doing very well. Took me a month just to get my children to join & this company is actually giving out shares as you join. Like I said, it took me a month just to get my children to understand the concept of the shares, after sharing the video of Magic Johnson being interviewed by Ellen Degenerate about his reqret for turning down Nike tennis shoes, with one of the owners of Nike being one of the owners of this company & how this is time sensitive, but no one else is interested. Please help.
At the other end of the spectrum is buying leads. This is also not the best option since it can be very expensive and may result in leads that may not actually be interested in your products or business. These are not great leads, either. The best leads will always be the ones you generate yourself—people who have shown some sort of interest in what you have to offer.
At a certain point, the prospect's online behavior – their Digital Body Language – will indicate that they're ready to engage with Sales in a discussion about purchasing. Marketers can identify this readiness through lead scoring, which matches the individual's behavior to activities that are known to indicate buying intent. The resulting conversation with Sales will rest on a foundation of buyer education that has been built in the earlier stages of the lead generation process.
Email may not be a hugely important part of increasing website leads, but it is fantastic for growing them into customers. When someone signs up for your list, it means they're interested in you – and that's half the battle! From there, consider creating an email schedule or marketing automation program that will send targeted messages to users at important stages of the buying process.
Are you too busy to work on your lead generation campaign? You may be putting it off due to overwhelm or lack of time. But remember: it's not rocket science. Oftentimes, one small trick is all you need to get your leads flowing in faster. Here are 34 quick and dirty tricks you can use to increase your conversions and generate more leads, right now.
CTR is the number of clicks on your CTA button, versus the total visitors to that landing page or ad. If 1000 people visit your landing page/view your ad, and 650 people click on the CTA, your CTR is 65%. A high CTR depends on a number of factors, chief among which are the value proposition on your page/ad, your CTA's placement, and the relevance of your content vis-à-vis your target audience.
For me, attraction marketing is one that brings value to the marketplace, leverage the internet and offline by teaching people and providing them solutions to their problem. Solutions to their pain – the pain of struggle growing their business! And as I was saying - this require a skill. You need to learn how to bring value to people and be an attractive marketer. By practicing this, you can create relationship. It's really all about relationship building.
A powerful technique for building your reputation with a defined audience over a period of time is to regularly send them a newsletter, which can either be free or paid subscription. Newsletters can be used to position you as an authority in your marketplace, to build closer relationships with clients. You can use them to educate your target market so they can make more informed and more frequent buying decisions or educate them to the full extent of your services and how you can add value through those services.
Imagine you have 125 leads. Every lead has engaged with your business in unique ways, and they're in different stages of your sales funnel. It's not humanly possible to glance at a lead and recall how closer/farther they are to your business—until you use lead scoring technology. Lead scoring is a method by which you define parameters to qualify or "score" a lead in the CRM. So a CTO might get 15 points by virtue of their designation, and a lead who clicked on a link in your email might get 10 points (versus a lead who only opened your email and gets 5 points). All these points add up, and the higher the score, the hotter the lead. Putting a score on a lead cuts down your decision-making time in terms of which lead you should contact first.

With the growth of the internet, the world has changed from one of information scarcity to one of information abundance. In fact, according to Google chairman Eric Schmidt "there was 5 Exabytes of information created between the dawn of civilization and 2003, but that much information is now created every two days and the pace is rapidly increasing".
LeadHunter's unique system converts interested prospects actively searching Google and Yahoo for the things that you sell – into leads from people who have ASKED YOU TO CALL THEM in real time. Leads are generated from people searching for your product or service, and have favorably evaluated a high-profile representation of your company, and then have ASKED YOU TO CALL THEM. Simply stated, LeadHunter converts search engine traffic into contactable leads.
With the new buyer it is important to note that your marketing efforts don't end once a new lead comes into your system – what we call Top of the Funnel (TOFU) marketing. Many companies do a good job at generating leads, but the problem is that most new leads are not ready to buy yet. And if a sales rep does engage and the lead isn't ready to talk with them, it reinforces the notion that marketing sourced leads are not great. As a result leads get lost, ignored, or snatched up by your competitors.
Bought MLM leads are still not going to be laydown sales, you WILL still need to talk to them, qualify them and move them along in the process. When you receive the email that you have a new lead in, call them and ask them how you can help, if they are nasty or negative, just get off the phone. Never, whether you bought the lead or not, try to convert someone who is nasty or negative, it just is not worth your time.
Attention scarcity is driving a shift from "rented attention" to "owned attention". Historically, most marketing has been about renting attention other people have built. An example of this would be if you purchased an ad in a magazine or rented a tradeshow booth. But in the noisy, crowded market that today's buyers live in, rented attention becomes less effective as attention becomes even scarcer. Of course, this is not an either-or proposition; you will ideally use a mix of rented vs. owned attention for your lead generation efforts to be affective.
With their service, you can choose from a curated list of email newsletters and sponsor those that share your target customer. Sponsoring allows you to advertise your lead generation campaigns in email newsletters that matter to your target audience. LaunchBit screens all lists to make sure they're legit and handles the transaction from sponsor to advertiser so the experience is smooth for all.
In many cases, outbound techniques can get someone to think about you even if they haven't thought about you yet, since many of the methods you use should have more of a "wow" factor to make your company stand out. Outbound communication is often highly targeted, with a call-to-action that is very obvious. As a result, good outbound marketing can push someone through the funnel at a faster rate, assuming they are closer to being ready to buy. Inbound alone often does not drive someone to buy. Outbound gives them that extra nudge they need to drive a lead down the funnel.
Most of what you read, see, and hear in the media got there with the help of PR. The media are insatiably hungry for factual, interesting, and newsworthy or entertaining information they can share with their customers, members, employees, listeners, viewers or readers. PR, approached correctly, will give you free coverage on radio, television, in magazines, newspapers, trade journals, newsletters, e-zines, and via Web sites who serve the marketplace you're trying to reach.
Cost per thousand (e.g. CPM Group, Advertising.com), also known as cost per mille (CPM), uses pricing models that charge advertisers for impressions — i.e. the number of times people view an advertisement. Display advertising is commonly sold on a CPM pricing model. The problem with CPM advertising is that advertisers are charged even if the target audience does not click on (or even view) the advertisement.

Striking Cultural Mix
Quite tangibly Spanish, Estepona is at the same time surprisingly sedate. The approach to Estepona from the east is all dramatic twisty roads, luxurious hotels and sumptuous beach clubs, while its backdrop is highlighted by one of the coast's tallest and most striking mountains – a crimson red, perfectly conical mound of rock that glimmers in the sunlight at the heart of the Sierra Bermeja and really draws the eye.
Estepona transformed from historical fishing village and harbour town to "The Garden of the Costa del Sol"
Laidback Contentment
Even if you turn your attentions toward Estepona as you drive past, the distant silhouette of Gibraltar in one direction, or the awe-inspiring sweep of the northern Costa del Sol in the other, instantly grabs your eye. Fronting a wide, sweeping beach that stretches the length of the town, Estepona's charming boulevards, beautiful plazas and inescapably Spanish atmosphere act as a breath of fresh air.
In recent years the municipality has also promoted itself as the "Garden of the Costa del Sol", transforming the historic centre with a beautification project that has involved adorning walls with murals, planting one million flowers, bedecking streets with hanging flower pots and undertaking a significant pedestrianisation of the streets – as well as opening a stunning Orchidarium.
The town is a former fishing village that has grown organically over centuries, rather than rapidly over decades. As a result, it has a settled air to it: a laidback sense of contentment, a thriving business hub, a fully-functioning industrial network and a major fishing harbour.
Day-Time Pursuits and Evening Pleasures
Every Sunday morning, throughout the year, the colourful local market takes over the harbour and its surrounding streets and alleys. While the same market can be found in Marbella on Mondays, San Pedro on Thursdays and Nueva Andalucía on Saturday mornings, Estepona is essentially its spiritual home.
For many expats, it is the only time they visit the resort. Sure, they could visit one closer to their home, but there's something about the Estepona version that is so much more alluring. While not quite the tumultuous organised chaos of a Marrakesh market or an Istanbul bazaar, the sights, smells and sounds of Estepona's market make for a highly enjoyable experience – a wonderful assault on the senses.

Chilled-Out Modernity
The gleaming promenade offers secure and convenient underground parking, adding a touch of modern-day efficiency to this most chilled-out of Spanish towns. The eastern and western outskirts of the municipality are markedly different. To the east – which is closer to Marbella and the more robust "heart' of the Costa del Sol – there is a surfer-style beach and the chic Laguna Village beach club and shopping centre, as well as the Selwo Aventura animal park; while the more remote western fringe is home to the fishing harbour, tapas bars, flamenco bars, residential towers and (further outside town) golf courses.
Friendly Ambience
The difference is quite striking, yet Estepona is comfortable with both. Convenient, friendly and delivering a great mix of Spanish culture and international influences, Estepona has it all. The central plaza, in the heart of the old town, is perhaps its most appealing attraction, where a strong coffee, a good book and a pair of sunglasses are all you need for a perfect day.
Estepona is home to a good number of late-night clubs and bars. Residents rarely feel the need to travel to Marbella or Puerto Banús for their evening entertainment, which is a testament to the impressive variety on offer in the heart of Estepona. While most establishments are quite Spanish, there are inviting "expat"-style bars complete with snooker tables, karaoke nights and all the trappings of "home".
Eating out in Estepona is highly affordable and immensely enjoyable. The town has some of the area's finest fish and seafood restaurants at the harbour, which is also a great spot for an evening stroll and a quiet drink with friends. In the main plaza, patrons of the numerous bodegas, tapas bars and cafés that ring the square converge into one happy and peaceful mass each weekend, lending the town a jovial charm.

Last year in Massachusetts, six young people who were struggling with their sexuality committed suicide, attributed to the bullying they suffered at school. To Laura Farnsworth this number — or any number — is unacceptable.
Ms. Farnsworth is the program director of Safe Homes, a Worcester-based nonprofit organization that helps those 14 to 23 years old who identify as lesbian, bisexual, gay and transgender (LBGT).
Founded in the 1998, Safe Homes was formed by citizens, including Al Toney and Judi Kirk, who wanted to provide a safe, nonjudgmental resource space for young people. In 1999 the program was adopted by the Bridge of Central Massachusetts. In the last few years the group has flourished, thanks to bonds it's forged with MetLife, UMass Memorial, UMass Medical School, YWCA, Luk and almost all of the colleges and universities in Worcester.
Unlike most of the young people with whom she works, Ms. Farnsworth was in her 30s, with a husband and a daughter, when she came out. She felt a deep sense of guilt and anguish — how could she do this to her family?
"If I had trouble coming out in my 30s, imagine what these kids are going through in high school."
Ms. Farnsworth began volunteering at Safe Homes as an adult leader in 1999, and was asked to direct the program in 2003.
For a small organization, Safe Homes' scope is wide. "All the resources that a young person would need are here," says Ms. Farnsworth. It offers career development. It has a clinically licensed therapist on staff. It provides HIV and STD awareness, testing and prevention. "We have about one thousand visitors coming through the door each year."
But the service that Ms Farnsworth spends the most time extolling is its anti-bullying and anti-isolation efforts.
"Gay youths who are bullied are four times more likely to drop out of school," says Ms. Farnsworth. "We teach a 10-point program for dealing with harassment. The most important is to document everything."
Meg Doherty of Worcester knows the point well. At 19, she's been coming to safe homes for five years and volunteers as a peer leader. She transferred from her original high school to the Gerald Creamer Center because of bullying. "I know three people who recently left their schools. When we're not getting support from home, it can be scary and isolating for young people."
The moment of telling their parents, and their reaction, can literally change a young person's life. When Ms. Doherty told her mother her sexual orientation when she was 14, "She kicked me out of her house for two weeks. I don't think I would've lasted this long without Safe Homes. We have kids who are just about to tell their parents and they're frightened. They might remember their father yelling a slur at the television years ago, and they think, "If he called someone on TV a faggot, what's he going to say about me?'"
As for parents, learning their child is homosexual is akin to the grieving process, with stages of anger and denial, says Ms. Farnsworth. "We prepare information packets and help coach kids for the conversation. We also talk about contingency plans — if a college student comes out to her parents and they react negatively, what will happen next semester if they stop paying tuition?"
When parents reject a LBGT teenager, those teens are eight times more likely to commit suicide, says Ms Farnsworth. "When people say you've saved my life, I learn to believe it."
Safe Homes is best known for its Thursday night program. About 75 to 100 youths and peer leaders drop in to play pool, foosball, and meet others who are facing the same challenges.
"We make sure that kids who come in aren't sitting alone," says Ms. Doherty. After introductions breakout sessions, there's usually an education component. "We've had a Harvard Divinity student talk about homosexuality and religion, a counselor talk about sexism in movies and magazines, and a human rights commissioner talk about housing discrimination," says Ms. Farnsworth.
Some schools have been exceptional in their support of the LBGT community, says Ms. Farnsworth. She points to Burncoat and Worcester Technical High School. Northboro middle and high schools have invited Safe Homes to speak to their classes.
"If we could start making children in elementary school aware there are families with two moms or two dads, we wouldn't have any of the problems we have today.
"We're not here to talk about sex," Ms Farnsworth clarifies. "We're here to talk about identity, and make sure that our kids are safe at home and at school. In fact, one third of our clients on a Thursday night identify as heterosexual. They come for the free pizza and stay for the youth leadership and development.
"We've become the go-to provider for gay and lesbian youth," says Ms. Farnsworth. "And not just in Worcester, I'm getting calls from organizations in Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York and Maine. In the next few years we'd like to increase services to homeless children in Central Mass. A high percentage of LBGT minors end on the street because their families rejected them and they had nowhere else to turn. We'd like to help kids who are aging out of the foster care system. And now that our peer leaders have gone through bullying prevention classes, we'd like to expand their training into other areas."
Without these peer leaders and adult advisers, the program wouldn't be successful, says Ms. Farnsworth. Originally group meetings were directed by adults, until it became apparent that the stronger message came from fellow teens who had recently come out to their classmates and families. These teens took on leadership and mentor roles and the adults transitioned into advisory positions.
As the group members turn 23 and move on from the organization, some come back as advisers. One alum returns regularly in his job as an educator for AIDS Project Worcester.
As for volunteers, "I've had so many adults come to me and say they thought they were going to help the kids, but instead they can't believe what they're getting out of it for themselves," says Ms. Farnsworth. "They'll say, 'I was lying in bed until 1:30 in the morning thinking about what we talked about yesterday.'
"Once you come and meet us, you're like part of our family."

Today's home is a celebration of all that is natural – a mix of earthy fabrics and materials in the creation of a calming, light and rustic chic beach home situated in Portugal.
The living room comes to life in neutrals and a mix of earthy textures. The neutral fabrics and natural fibres offer warmth and a rustic charm here. We also love the arched white ceilings which add a new dimension to this room. A beautiful framed artwork adorns the wall and complements the neutral shades and natural living present in this space.The dining room too is simple yet glorious in earthy textures. In fact, the entire residence is filled with natural materials such as wood, rattan, linen, cotton and wool that adds visual stimulation and a beautiful contrast in the many textures and natural shades present in this room. The interesting chandelier appears cloud-like in its interesting shape and texture. The warm timber tones continue through all of the various spaces in this beach retreat. The loft-style bedroom is minimalist and airy in bright white which allows for the perfect interplay of light and space here. A playful collection of woven basket chandeliers add intrigue and colour here, while pops of orange in the scatters on the bed, create visual appeal and interest. Similarly, the bathroom boasts an array of beautiful natural textures that offer a calm, earthy and rustic ambiance here. Complete with a woven wall adjacent to the toilet, the room is far from conventional, with a natural earthenware basin and striking round mirror. Via

Light strawberry nose. Pink melon and strawberry with some jolly rancher notes. There's some really nice fruit and some nice biscuit there too. Overall a very fragrant, floral yet delicate champagne, not too brut.

Stored for the past fifteen years in a cool and dark place, is Millesime Brut Champagne still good? Unopened, of course.
