How To Change Excellent Bills Into Quick Money By Way Of Invoice FactoringIs your company discovering it extremely hard to preserve liquidity? Is most of your money lying with your customers as you wait around for them to spend up? Are you finding it difficult to pay your debts and the curiosity is piling up? The best answer accessible to you is in the form of bill factoring or accounts receivable financing. With people prepared to lend you money towards your accounts receivables you will by no means have an problem with money flow for your company.
If your business is not in a position to get a bank loan, factoring might be 1 of the couple of options that is available. Companies with couple of assets to use as collateral, are pretty new and/or have not however turned a profit, may not be qualified for a loan, at minimum not 1 with great terms.
Rule 2. Consider the time to comprehend how you will most likely look to a loan company. The Scottish poet Robert Burns wrote: "O would some Power the Present to Give Us, to see ourselves as other people see us." Granted, Burns wrote this when he noticed a bug on a woman's bonnet in church, but it applies in the business world too. If you think about how you look from a loan company's stage of see, you can start to improve your presentation. Almost everyone has problems of one kind or an additional. What speaks most eloquently to a loan company is how YOU are dealing with YOUR issues. This is not to say that you will automatically get funded just for being straightforward. But if your case is borderline, your attitude and preparation might nicely be the tipping stage in your favor.
Factoring Memphis is different than a bank loan simply because most banking institutions will not give you a loan primarily based on the stack of unpaid invoices you have. The concentrate is instead shifted to how much credit score your clients have rather than how a lot credit score your business has.
How can this be? Simple. Your clients are paying you in sixty times, but you require to spend employees every 7 days, rent and suppliers. Although the numbers may function in the lengthy phrase, in the short term you are left with very small money. This is unless of course you have a great deal of money in the bank to cover the deficits.
Everyone knows the magic equation for a monetary success: spend less, make much more. Or, limit your expenses and improve your earnings. There are a hundred tips for saving cash, and maybe even more for making it, but when it arrives to money flow, you can really make get more info an influence by turning your concentrate to your accounting department. There are two key ideas to adhere to. In accounts payable: Keep your cash. In accounts receivable: Get your earnings as quickly as feasible.
A business spends time and cash producing a good or rendering a services. It anticipates that it will be paid out for these as well, although it does not usually instantly require a cash exchange. In some instances, it will permit the getting company to set up an account and spend later on. This is known as invoice funding and is a legal responsibility of the producer.
Finally, in accordance to the July Insperity report the U.S. economy is at the top of the brief term list amongst 79 % of those who responded; and only 12 percent of little businesses think that a accurate economic restoration is below way. Approximately forty % of small companies have put aside expectations of an financial rebound till the initial quarter of 2012.

Today I want to share with everyone an article published on the website Salon by a wonderful writer, Sarah Hoffman (a pseudonym), called My Son, the Pink Boy. This isn't about the Alexander Technique, or wellness, or healing. At least, not specifically. But it is a great example of what happens when we are not aware of our habits of reaction.
One of the principles of the Alexander Technique is that, for the most part, we live our lives in utter disregard for how we are using ourselves; we are a bundle of unexamined habits of tension, misuse and lack of balance. Until we begin to notice our patterns, we will continue to be subtly (or not so subtly) damaging ourselves unnecessarily. Once we do begin to see what we are doing in activity, then we have some choices about how we'd like to proceed. We can respond mindfully rather than react mindlessly.
I believe this is true for the whole human species. The society and culture we create is a reflection of our beliefs and ideas. As a society, if we remain mindlessly reactive, we will continue to damage ourselves. If we can begin to look at our assumptions and habitual reactions, maybe we can make some different choices and continue to evolve.
Unfortunately, there is a big barrier to noticing habitual reactive patterns: they feel normal. Whether on an individual or group level, habits become ingrained and normalized, to the point where we don't question or even notice them. They just become the sea we swim in, or the background noise of the refrigerator humming that you don't hear until it shuts off.
The situation Sarah Hoffman describes in her article gives many good examples of how people often react mindlessly, from assumption and prejudice, even when their intentions may be "good." If you also read the comments readers have made that follow the article you will see more reactivity. They are all based on some notion of what "normal" is.
Based on years of many repeated experiences, it is my opinion that we do not have an accurate sense of what "normal" is, either individually or as a society. We think we know what "normal" is, but we are wrong.
If possible, as you read the article, notice your own reactions, both physically (what happens in your body as you read?) and mentally/emotionally (what thoughts and feelings erupt?). Observe yourself without judgment.
I am also sharing this article because I work with a number of people who struggle with how their physical expression of themselves sometimes causes them pain and difficulty. Ultimately, we all project something of ourselves by the way we walk, talk, and behave. Alexander Technique helped me become comfortable in my body, after years of being taught, explicitly and implicitly, that I could not trust it and it was not beautiful. Along with other habits of misuse, this was one of the more fundamental habits I was able to overcome through the patient and loving instruction of my teacher.
So now, enjoy, My Son, the Pink Boy.
I welcome your comments!
A Short Video Introduction to Alexander Technique
Here is an excerpt from a video of Marjorie Barstow in 1982, discussing and demonstrating the basic ideas at the core of the Alexander Technique. Notice the difference between the first way she picks up a book off the table, and the second way. It's an old video, so the quality has deteriorated slightly, but the quality of Marj's use of herself is as fresh as ever.
Perhaps the most important thing she says is that one has a choice about how to move and inhabit one's body.

Bold, Balanced Bodywork
Here is a reprint of an article I wrote for Energy Times (March 2005). It's a nice general introduction to the Alexander Technique.
Bold, Balanced Bodywork
by Amy Ward Brimmer
It's a holistic movement experience that unifies body and mind—but it's not yoga. It's a fitness process that strengthens the body's core support muscles—but it's not Pilates. It helps you think more clearly and feel better about yourself—but it's not psychotherapy. The teacher uses his or her hands to eliminate tension—but it's not massage. What is it? The bodywork method known as Alexander Technique.
For more than a century, people have been using the Alexander Technique (AT) to change the way they use their bodies to heal a variety of conditions, including neck and back pain, breathing and vocal problems, repetitive stress injuries, even mild depression and panic attacks. Typically taught in one-on-one sessions, AT is a unique hands-on method that solves physical problems at their source, rather than just treating symptoms. Through lessons, students discover how they unknowingly hold patterns of tension that limit movement and needlessly cause pain. AT provides a way to unhook from harmful habits and begin moving through life with more power and freedom.
Technique From an Actor
Technique From an Actor
The Technique was developed in the late 19th century by Frederick Matthias Alexander (1869-1955), an Australian actor who was plagued by so many vocal problems while performing he eventually lost his voice. After standard medical treatments failed to help him, Alexander began self-observation and found he had excessive muscular tension in his neck while speaking. That led him to an epiphany: When the neck is free of excess tension, the head balances on top of the spine rather than compressing it. Since the spinal column is our core of support and energy, a lengthening spine allows the rest of the body to move freely, and movement becomes less strenuous and more integrated.
Sounds simple enough, doesn't it? Alexander thought so, until he tried not to tighten his neck when he spoke. He soon realized that muscular holding patterns are deeply ingrained, and it was necessary to first change how he was thinking before he spoke or moved. In other words, it's not what we do, but how we do it that makes all the difference.
We all have unconscious movement habits. Most of us use more force than necessary to perform the simplest tasks, such as opening a door or stirring a pot. We become accustomed to our way of sitting, standing and walking, unaware that these postural patterns are the root cause of much of our deep discomfort and pain. As you read this, are you aware of where your head is in relation to your spine? If you're sitting, how are you sitting? What are your hands and feet doing? Did you choose this alignment of your body parts, or is it just a habit?
Teachers and Students
Alexander Technique teachers are trained to shine a light on these unconscious habits by observing a student's posture and movement patterns. They also gather information by "listening" to a student's body, placing their hands gently on the body in a noninvasive way. At the same time, the teacher gives the student information with her touch, encouraging the release of restrictive tension and guiding the student into a new experience of freedom and ease in movement. Everyday activities such as standing, sitting and walking are explored, usually combined with deep release while lying on a table.

Everyday activities such as standing, sitting and walking are explored, usually combined with deep release while lying on a table.
Lessons take place in a low-tech environment without any special equipment. Clothing is not removed, nor is any special type of clothing required—although it is easier to move in loose-fitting clothes than, say, a suit and tie or tight jeans.
The Power to Change
The Power to Change
People take AT lessons for many reasons. Herniated disks bothered writer Jean Kuhn, especially after sitting at her computer all day. She tried yoga, acupuncture, physical therapy and chiropractic, all of which provided only temporary relief. She found that, rather than passively receiving treatment, AT lessons gave her the power to change what was happening to her at any given moment.
"To me," says Kuhn, "AT is about becoming conscious of how I'm holding—or not holding—tension in my body. It seems like I'll use a muscle and when I'm done with it, I forget to 'turn it off.' Throughout the day I will check in with myself to see how I'm doing. If I feel tension anywhere, I can release it as I picture my body aligned and in balance."
Taking responsibility for personal change may seem daunting at first, but Kuhn found it surprisingly easy. "I don't have to work as hard at good posture as I thought," she says. "I can get to a point of balance that is practically effortless. In a way, if I'm working at it, chances are I'm still holding too much."
Less effort and more efficiency is the heart of AT, one of the reasons it has been embraced by performers and professional training programs throughout the world. Schools such as Julliard, Yale and London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts have a required AT component.
"An actor needs to be able to fluidly transform into another character through movement, voice and emotional expression," says Kim Jessor, senior teacher at the American Center for the Alexander Technique and an instructor at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts Graduate Acting Program. "The Technique teaches actors how to work without forcing, preventing strain and injury. They learn to conserve and efficiently use their energy, which prepares them for health and longevity in a demanding and often uncertain career. My experience with actors who have studied AT is that they are more responsive to themselves and their fellow actors, capable of greater subtlety, and give more compelling performances."
But one needn't be an actor, dancer or musician to benefit from AT lessons. We all have daily tasks to "perform" and when we learn to recognize unconscious mental and physical blocks, we can release them. Letting go of excess tension redistributes energy for everything we do—from household chores to sitting at a computer, from giving a speech to giving birth, from performing on stage to playing on a field.
Proponents of Alexander's principles can apply them in many ways because AT isn't a way to augment one's experience, but instead is a process of elimination. All the harmful habits that interfere with our innate design fall away and movement becomes more efficient, balanced, light and easy. Says Jean Kuhn: "I like to explore and AT lessons allow me to remember what I once knew naturally. It's as if I were on an archeological dig that uncovers the self I was born with."

Also, setting up tables and decoration on a beach requires a lot of organization, so it is better to opt for a seaside restaurant that has a terrace with a view and that trains and ensures the service for you. Logistical level, electricity, installation are no more a headache. If you are unable to think of how to plan, best to consult a professional wedding planner. They know the key to a budget-friendly arrangement of your choice.

… and the planning has begun.
It's a Princess Tea Party for Miss Jessi. I made Cinderella invites using a cuttlebug embossing folder which I found on clearance earlier this month. I was so tempted to go buy some pretty paper and pink cardstock but I decided this was a good opportunity to use my stash. I made the blue for the dresses by painting the card with glimmermist… and incidentally found that the card embossed better if it was still damp from the glimmermist. Rebekah helped by doing all the embossing (3 Cinderella's per invite) and colouring Cinderella's hair and skin.
Today I spent the day playing with pretty fabric. Yummy fabric that was on clearance for $2 and $3 dollars a metre … love a good bargain!
There is now a Jessi sized Cinderella dress hanging from the door, with matching gloves and headband.
Yep … it's shaping up to be an over the top party … but this is my last kid turning five … and princess stuff is so fun.
So … what else has been happening?
Still keeping an eye on CHA releases … love this:
See more shapes at Fancy Pants. Maybe it's the mixed media that has captured my imagination. Not sure that I will ever actually get to see some of this stuff in real life, let alone bring it home to my house but I enjoy looking.
A few of you mentioned in my last post that winning lotto would be nice … it's funny you bring that up … did you see me on t.v a couple of weeks ago? At the live lotto draw? Apparently if you didn't blink you could've seen me sitting in the audience watching my friend spin the wheel thingy. Jessi's little friend Charlize's family won lots of money … enough to buy 1/3 of a Newlands house … awesome for them! And also very interesting watching how a lotto draw is done, very serious, lots of practising, those balls are handled with cotton gloves and kept under lock and key… serious business … and of course there was a big old nasty sign on the studio door saying no cameras … so no pic's sorry!
We've been enjoying the last few days of holidays. Been to Te Papa to see the giant squid thingy … hmmm pickled squid … I didn't find it as exciting as browsing the gift shop … but the kids thought it was cool. Tried to include a few active things to the entertainment list … so dusted off the rollerblades … I guess that was entertaining to the innocent bystanders on the wharf! No … seriously … it was fun, Rebekah has now got confident enough to keep up with me if I don't go too fast and even Jessi did pretty well.
We ended up at the beach on Sunday, unfortunately we weren't dressed for the beach, and were unprepared with our lack of swimming gear but I got some fantastic photos and just loved the fact that all the kids happened to be wearing matching clothes … no odd clashing colours on Jessi. Usually for that to happen I have to carefully orchistrate the washing of appropriate clothes … ie. not do the washing for ages so that the only thing left is the matching things I want them to wear.
It was so nice at this spot that I made sure we returned the following day wearing togs and ended up having a beautiful relaxing afternoon splashing in the water and building sandcastles.
Jessi is now back at kindy … she gets almost two weeks in before starting school. And I even felt a little sad as I emptied her bag of kindy treasures yesterday … a bit of wood with a nail hammered in the top, a few sparkly bits of wrapping paper, an old bottle top and some triangles of fabric from the collage corner … true signs of her kindy experience. Must take a photo … that would make a good layout!
So, January is almost over, kids are almost back at school and I almost feel the urge to scrap something!

Las Vegas—What happens with consumer spending is key to your business, according to Wayne Best, chief economist for Visa. And unfortunately, consumers are not likely to start spending for a while.
Speaking at the Merchant Risk Council' s E-Commerce Payments & Risk Conference, held here March 16-18, Best pointed out that we are not seeing the kind of rebound expected after a deep recession. Businesses aren't hiring and consumers are still not ready to spend. As such, Best said, "We need to reset our expectations with this recession" vs. prior economic downturns.
Consumers will, lag, not lead, the recovery this time, since unemployment and housing will suppress spending, Best said. The key to recovery is job growth, he noted, and "a drop in unemployment is not going to happen anytime soon."
While there has been some improvement in housing—home are no longer "overvalued," Best said, except in the "previously juiced-up areas," more trouble is coming. Despite an inventory correction, strategic defaults (when homeowners that can still afford their homes walk away from them anyway) are on the rise.
That's going to put more homes on the market and suppress prices. What's more, a slew of ARM loans are set to adjust in the next few years, which will have affect consumer confidence and spending.
Is there any good news for merchants? Well, e-commerce is expected to continue to grow, and it will become an increasingly larger portion of overall sales.
And while it seems like frugality is the new normal, Best says it's probably more of a reprioritization of where consumers put their money. For instance, the travel and entertainment sector is showing signs of life.
Overall, he said, "the economy is performing measurably better today than it was a year ago," and a year from now, it will be performing better than it is today.
Still, Best advised attendees that they may need to "hunker down for a long winter." Given the current period of unrest that's expected to last for a few years, "it's going to be a wild ride," he said.

No great news with 8X3 this week, so this is going to be a more reflective post than usual. They're in the routine, and although it's resource-heavy (and make no mistake, resource-heavy it is), it actually seems to be working well for them. Now if only we worked at a place with enough photocopiers…
I interview for two jobs on Wednesday and Thursday, which necessitates setting cover, none of which creates anything that's really worth marking. That's a shame, but that's life.
I do get one of the jobs, though.
What is especially striking is the contrast with my other classes – especially my other middle set. I've marked 8X3's books every lesson, and they're in a routine of responding to DIRT comments now too. They can see the link between completing the tasks they've been set and their making progress, because they can remember when I set those tasks. They are positive, engaged and mostly pleasant in a way that they weren't before.
My Year 7 middle set have their books marked once a week, and are a markedly different kettle of fish, despite actually being a generally more pleasant class. Many of them are stagnating; they are either not making progress or are going through the motions. They are often making the same mistakes over and over again and producing inferior work. I would do the same with them as with my 8s were it not for time; I have rewritten my whole Year 8 scheme of work to make this work for me. I simply don't have time to do that for Year 7 during term time.
Would I go back to the old way of doing things? I suppose I already have. If I was totally committed to this, I'd have taken it up with my Year 7s already – but I need to sleep, and I need space to get it right, and I want to go home at a sensible time rather than working until 9pm every night. Perhaps that makes me a failure as a teacher, but I think it just makes me human.
I've planned almost every lesson I've taught in the past two years from scratch. That's largely because the ones on the system haven't been up to scratch, but it's also because I'm a traditionalist and some of my colleagues are progressives, and often we think about things in fundamentally different ways. That's also meant marking has always been an area of weakness, even though my planning is pretty damn good these days – I just don't have time. I hope that changes in my new school, but I don't know that it will. Can I sustain this? I just don't know. I'd like to.
If I was a Head of Department, I'd never formalise "mark every book every day" in a marking policy, as it would kill my teachers. I shared it in a meeting today, and I dread that happening in the name of "good practice". That said, having tried it myself, it seems resolutely sensible, both for planning and for feedback. So for the moment, I'm going to work as hard as I can to stick with it as my KS3 strategy to the end of the year, and I'm certainly taking it to my new place too. I'll keep you posted.

Millions of travelers head to the sacred lands of Machu Picchu every year to see the natural world wonder in person. But after the long, 2-3 day trek, it's best to unwind at some of the top spas in Cusco, Peru. Located on the famous Avenida del Sol, Cusco the Inca Spa offers thousand-year-old ancient Inca beauty rituals like Inti Raymi,which brings sun and fire together to renew your inner and outer light. The spa settles within rock fixtures, giving the perception that you are in a mountain cave. Inca Spa focuses on treatments that administer natural Andean ingredients and connects you with the Inca culture. They offer beauty rituals that include offerings, a full-body exfoliation and a one-hour massage.
My travel buddy Linda and I decided to try the Uma Rymi Quilla: a relaxing water ceremony for cleaning and purifying the body and mind.
Warm water and bubbles filled the underground spa bath surrounded by colored candles which signified the unity of love and the rainbow Inca flag. The sounds of the Spanish guitar and drums awakened our spiritual calling and the therapist raised her hands to us, honoring our goddess spirit. This ritual holds a sacredness within the material and spiritual world. As she passed her hands over our faces and bodies, she spoke in Quechua, the language of the Incas. She released energy to cleanse us before the ceremony. We instantly felt relaxed and a sense of freedom from our own minds.
As we stepped into the bath, we were blessed with rose water filled with flowers and herbs. The crown of our heads were covered with flower petals, as was the third eye. For those who don't know what the third eye is, it's found on the forehead between the eyebrows. It is a nerve point that is considered to be the consciousness of where all wisdom is gathered.
Legend has it that virgin girls would bathe in similar waters for purification as a coming-of-age before a wedding night or for ceremonial Inca beginnings. The young woman would be prepared with certain offerings to bring fortune, fertility, protection and other elements. It was popular among men as well before heading to work thousand of miles away and for war.
The bath is covered with small, multicolored confetti to represent celebration. Steam encompassed our bodies which caused us to sweat out all impurities. Inca baths are sacred as many consider water a purification tool for the soul. It is thought to hold healing and cleansing qualities. Each offering that can be submitted symbolizes something different: prosperity, wealth, health, good luck, and fertility, along with other elements. After 20 minutes of purification in the sacred waters, their signature massage followed. It consisted of an exfoliation and deep tissue massage using a mixture of oil and cacao leaves.
Pachamama (translated as Mother Earth or Mother World) is a goddess who is celebrated by the indigenous people in the Andes. In the Inca culture, Pachamama is the mountains, air, fire, water and soil from which we all live. She is the fertility goddess and our connection to the cosmos and universe. Every ritual offered is in honor of Pachamama.
This beautiful spa resides in one of the busiest cross towns of the world. Cusco, known as the alpaca home, connects to the mountain of the lost city. The Peruvian culture holds onto their native history, which is a gift to the world. While wandering the streets, the influence of their traditions are apparent even in today's world, where people are quickly adopting a technological and fast-moving way of life. Their legends and myths of the wind and mountains still, thankfully, exist all around us…

Special OrderSpecial Order item not currently available. We'll try and order for you.
DescriptionThe newest threat to security has been categorized as the Advanced Persistent Threat or APT.

The transformation became complete when I picked up my cell phone and called a friend yesterday to tell him that Annika Sorenstam had just double-bogeyed the seventh hole to drop into a three-way tie for the lead at the U.S. Women's Open ... and Michelle Wie was just a stroke behind.
I am now a women's golf fan, though I'd rather you didn't tell anybody.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I'm afraid I might be on that proverbial slippery slope that could lead just about anywhere. Next thing you know, I'll be hanging out with Milton Kent at the WNBA playoffs and writing about Title IX and generally being a sensitive guy.
In short, it's the end of the sports world as I know it, but - at the moment - I feel fine.

There are few things worse than finding your flight number on the board and as you search for the gate number all you see is DELAYED.
But, the airport can be a part of your vacation, a part to be enjoyed instead of dreaded. The airport itself will mostly likely have a bar, places to eat and some form of shopping so you can always kill some time there.
The real trick is to bring your own entertainment. Music, movies, T.V shows and books can all be accessed on your phone or tablet without WIFI if you download before you leave home.
Netflix allows you to download a variety of shows and movies while Spotify or other music streaming services takes care of your music needs.
I always recommend bringing a physical book to get your eyes away from a screen for a period, this will help prevent headaches which is the last thing you need if you are delayed.
Of course, have your charger in your hand luggage so you can recharge your devices if you are delayed long enough to see them run out of battery.
Enjoy the holiday pictures! We take so many yet we rarely stop to look through them and enjoy them. The airport is a good place to do this and if you find one you really like you can always upload it to social media.
If you are lucky enough to have access to lounges in your airport then you will have little trouble relaxing and if you are not one of the lucky ones, ask the airline staff if there is anything they can do to make your wait more comfortable, there is no harm in asking.
Remember delays came before smartphones so there are some old school ways to wait it out; a deck of cards is always handy and will kill so much time if you're half as competitive as I am. A simple piece of paper and a pen will allow you to play all sorts of childhood games.
Being stuck in the airport is one of the rare times you can do nothing but that also means you don't HAVE to do anything. Enjoy the time. Read the book you've always wanted to or listen to an entire album for the first time since 2002. Use the time productivity.

Marching Kings Receive Recognition
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
The Marching King seniors rode a bus together as a marching band one last time as they traveled down to the Indiana State House to be recognized for winning the Class C ISSMA State championships back in November. The Kings received recognition from both the Indiana State Senate and the Indiana State House of Representatives.
The Marching Kings have twenty-two seniors, including myself, and all but two of them accompanied Mr. Muth, Mr. Hinshaw, and Hope Turcheck to the state house to receive praise for our hard work.
The seniors arrived to the statehouse around one o'clock in the afternoon on President's day. We planned to have our meeting with the senators and representatives around two. However, we had to wait quite a while since many other groups, such as the Delphi FFA, were also getting recognized for their accomplishments. Finally, we headed into the senate chamber for our recognition. The directors and twenty-two seniors stood in front of all the Indiana State senators as Senator Randy Head stood in front of us and talked about our accomplishments.
Many of the senators nodded in approval of our eight state championships, thirty-six consecutive year streak attending state finals, our Class A Bands of America Championship, our participation in the Macy's Day parade and other travels, and of course our 2017 State Class C Championship. Some of the senators even asked to see our rings as we were standing there. The experience excited most of us- I don't think any of us knew what to expect, but the outcome was more than hoping.
After exiting the senate chamber, we literally walked to the other side of the building and entered the house chamber to be recognized in almost the same way in front of a different group of people. This time they had Mr. Muth speak and say some things in front of them. All the representatives showed great respect and seemed honored to have us there. They even mentioned that they wanted us to come and play our instruments for them; we figured it might be difficult to fit our entire 100 person hornline inside the small room we were in and play our very loud show.
The day as a whole reminded all the seniors how hard we worked for all of our accomplishments. Being on the bus with all my best friends gave me a little sweet nostalgia of the many many hours spent perfecting the show and working with my classmates to create our masterpiece of a show. Being a state champion band has given our program many opportunities this being one of them! Hopefully many more to come.

The University of the West Indies (UWI) is a multi-campus regional university serving the English-speaking Caribbean, the UWI campuses include: The Mona and Western Campus located in Jamaica, St Augustine and Penal Campus located in Trinidad and Tobago, the UWI- Open Campus with campus sites throughout the Caribbean region and the Cave Hill Campus in Barbados.
The Cave Hill Campus is characterized by its quaint and historic legacy. The campus was originally designed to accommodate approximately 500 students. However, the demand for quality education coupled with the Campus' growing tradition of excellence has seen an exponential growth in student number, ranging from 7,000 – 9000 students per annum.
This regional campus' great legacy has witnessed the ever-growing international student population, and as such the Campus is now home to a vibrant and diverse student from over 35 countries, China, Brazil, USA, UK and Italy.
The physical expansion of the campus has taken place in a manner sympathetic to the original architectural design of low-rise buildings, simplicity and orderliness. This, combined with the scenic attractiveness of the site, and the relatively small size of the University community has resulted in an atmosphere of intimacy and friendliness which is immediately felt by visitors to the Campus.
The Campus is located on 98.12 acres. The main campus is located on 47 acres of elevated scenic property overlooking the capital, Bridgetown, with a further 33 acres of land contiguous to the existing campus, overlooking the crystal clear, tranquil Caribbean Sea. This site houses state-of-the-art sporting facilities including a FIFA-rated football field; an IAAF rated athletic track, cricket training facilities, sport labs and gyms.
Over the past several years, the campus has focused heavily on expanding its graduate offerings.
In 2011, the Global ranking of Master's Degrees Eduniversal ranked the Campuses' following masters programmes as follows:
The Campus has also developed centers of excellence in numerous fields including:
The Campus has become a leader in tertiary education in Barbados and a beacon of academic excellence throughout the region as well as internationally. In 2013 Cave Hill celebrated its golden anniversary and reflected with pride on its contribution to regional development and the upliftment of Caribbean people.

The planting of a peace sculpture for the community at peacePlace Jan 4, 2015
Vietnamese refugee finds answers, home in his art, an Arizona Republic news release about Thuong Nguyen on Dec, 15th 1994. A quote from article: "... he uses found objects in his art as witness and evidence of the struggles of man and nature over time." Today 20 years later Thuong delivered a totem sculpture to peacePlace made of a bomb casing and rods of metal coming together at a point from the top of the container. This form is now buried within the brick work of the patio to receive written intentions of peace making, from anyone wishing to contribute. As the full moon was rising, the sun was on fire and the snow on the Superstition Mountains was melting, an origami crane and Tibetan prayer flags were integrated into the metal structure... Thank you for this gift to the community Thuong. Namaste
Michael Butzine first met Thuong 15 Years ago this week when Thuong presented an installation and book reading, Sadako, at Burton Barr library followed by a community of children and adults learning how to make an origami crane... Sadako and the 1000 Paper Cranes – August 15, 1979, by Eleanor Coerr & Ronald Himler (Illustrator)
Michael as a 10 year old learning from Thuong how to make a crane & 1,000 cranes made by children in a high school Thuong had attended as a student which hung at Burton Barr January 200.
Curriculum was developed for Dr. Mary Stockrocki's art education class at ASU and has been disseminated in many classrooms, community spaces and Lower Buckeye Jail with youth and adults. Lesson Objectives:
1. "Engage & Persist:" Teachers in visual arts classes present their students with projects that engage them. When they teach their students to stick to a task for a sustained period of time, they are teaching participants to focus and develop introspection.
This visual arts lesson plan is multifaceted integrating literary arts, music, art making and reflective writing... http://artsCARE.org/peacepals.2.shtml Lesson Plan for Sadako - by judy butzine
http://artsCARE.org/cac.event.12.shtml International Peace Pals exhibition featuring large origami cranes and Ikebana arrangements...
Lower Buckeye Jail: Melanie Ohm working with youth and bringing the crane project to them as a means of focusing on positive ways to identify the youths' strengths and more responsible choices in the future.
Following the very exacting folding of an origami peace crane the youth assess their outcomes through a reflective process of questions: Steps I took to reach a goal; Potenital obstacles I may encounter; My resources with or without others; and How I will persist when the problem solving gets tough. A process that is transferable into all aspects of anyone's daily life!
Following the Tsunami that hit Japan, 7 April 2011, the world watched in horror as to the effects of this natural disaster... Persons around the world responded with incredibel acts of kindness and compassion from all walks of lyfe!
School children across the country responded as well http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/queens/queens-school-origami-project-aids-japan-tsunami-earthquake-relief-article-1.112095
My adult children and some of Michael's friends created cranes that went to a philanthropist in Washington State who sent $1.00 to Japan for each crane he received...
(Angel of Nature painting by Luis Gutierrez)
Thank you for bringing this awareness to us Thuong and enriching our many communities throughout these past 2 decades... Namaste
Michael was in Hiroshima, Japan, this past year and folding a crane, left at the Sadako Peace Sculpture... He will experience many more opportunities in his lifetime as his circle continues to take this art of peacemaking to others and so will YOU!.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadako_Sasaki At the foot of the statue is a plaque that reads: "This is our cry. This is our prayer. Peace in the world."
Everyone is invited to peacePlace to make a crane or write an intention and leave it at our sculpture for peace...

June 8, 1942…birthday…so, it's Seven – Five this year. Calls for big thought and, this time, some help from a genealogist in Dublin to find my Irish roots.
No luck yet with the Roach family origins in Ireland, but my great-great grandmother (the wife of William Francis Roach, born in PA in 1846…the saddle and harness-maker) was Catherine Martin of Donegal. Timeline.ie is a genealogy firm who found everything about her Irish roots and it's amazing information. We are going to see it all…and two of our three kids (Mike & Amy and spouses, Sky and Michael Brock) are going to travel with us (June 6th to 17th).
We have never had the pleasure of visiting Donegal and it's way up north on the island; actually so far north that it's in Ulster Province. Ulster, of course, is normally associated with the part of the UK called "Northern Ireland" since 1921. But Donegal and two other "Irish Republic" counties (Monaghan and Fermanagh) are in Ulster today.
So, our plan is to travel to find where the Martins were born, baptized and lived as farmers (renting from an English lord all the while). Half the family emigrated in the 1840's to 1850's and lived in Cass County near Pottsville, then William was a saddle maker for John Wanamaker's Department Store in Philadelphia.
The search is on and we are enjoying the planning part as we always do. My DNA tests just came back from ancestry.com and we are hoping that those additional clues will help the search for Anthony Roach and his Irish roots.
Our Sanibel neighbors (Tom and Treas McNamara and their 4 lads…their photo is captioned "McNamara's Band") are from Tullamore, County Offaly. Nancy and I will stay at their house on June 6th, right before the kids fly in to meet us in Shannon. Thanks to the McNamara's for reciprocating…they spent last Thanksgiving with us in Sanibel. Their brogues and their wit carried the day there.
More to come. Thanks for following us again.

A couple of weeks ago in China, it was the Qingming Festival (清明节, or Tomb Sweeping Day), so we got a few days off from classes. The university were offering a trip to Xi'an (西安) from 3rd April-6th April, so we got to spend two days in one of the oldest cities in China.
Wednesday 3rd April 2013
We'd had a meeting on Monday about the trip and knew we had to meet to take a bus to the train station at 12.30. I ended up missing a couple of hours of class because I am extraordinarily lazy when it comes to packing, but I made it to the bus in time, which is the important thing. The bus to the station took about an hour – and I was the only person I knew going, so I just sat there listening to my iPod and reading a book.
At the train station, we found that (unfortunately, as usual), things weren't quite as organised as they should be. The train tickets have an ID number on them (in this case, our passport numbers), but it had been decided that they would try and give us the tickets outside the station instead of, say, on the bus ride over. Needless to say, it didn't work, but one of the teachers talked to someone who worked at the station and they let us all through without complaint.
The train was scheduled to leave at 14.30, to arrive in Xi'an at about 05.00 the next day. We'd got a sleeper train because of this, each compartment having six beds (three on each side). I was on the top bed and met the other students (our uni took up, I think, at least a whole car) in my compartment, which was fun. We chatted and ate and all went to our beds just in time, because they switched the lights out at ten! I put my iPod on to try and drown out some of the noise, but unsurprisingly, I didn't get a lot of sleep.
Thursday 4th April 2013
We got to Xi'an, as they'd said, at about 05.00 and headed straight for the hotel. The rooms were shared, so I ended up with another girl who'd come on her own. We were meeting up again at 08.30 (I thought, to have breakfast, but it turned out I was mistaken so I missed that…) so I had a little nap on the (amazing!) bed and rolled out again at about eight.
Our first stop in Xi'an was the Wild Goose Pagoda (大雁塔), which was a really beautiful place. We went around with a tour guide for a while, then had a little walk on our own when we got to a garden full of peonies.
After the Wild Goose Pagoda, we went to the factory where they still make the Terracotta Warriors that Xi'an is so famous for. The figures are all made in moulds and then hand carved (we saw people carving them there!), and for the bigger warriors the heads (and the bodies, sometimes) are made seperately and then slotted in. They make hand-painted glass figurines at the factory too. The Warriors are made with the same clay mixture that's been used for about two thousand years; and we got to see the kilns they use too – they're big stone structures that they seal up with rocks and they have to leave the Warriors to bake for a couple of days. It was so interesting!
After a tour around the factory, we went into a gift shop and I bought a little warrior of my own – because we were such a big group, we got a discount, so it only cost about £5. There was another little market where I got some other souvenirs and then it was time for lunch.
Lunch was at a hotel restaurant and after we finally went to the Terracotta Warriors Museum, where we explored all three pits. The first, which has the most warriors (as far as I could tell), was massively busy, so we took a few pictures (most of mine didn't turn out so well) and then moved onto pit two.
Pit two didn't have any warriors that I could see (as far as I remember); it was the old tomb and they had a picture of a section that had been broken into by tomb robbers, so it was still really interesting.
Pit three was better – it wasn't as busy as pit one and, unlike pit two, there were plenty of Warriors, as well as terracotta horses that were all lined up together. I got better pictures in here too, though a lot of the warriors were missing hands and heads.
After we'd been around the museum for a while we went for dinner at another hotel which also housed Xi'an's theatre. Dinner was a dumpling banquet – we tried sixteen different types: red bean, pork and leek, beef and mushroom, vegetable, shrimp… There were so many, including one lot that were shaped like walnuts (though they were purple, so they really just kind of looked like brains) and another that were shaped like ducks!
We'd been told earlier in the day that there was a performance being shown in the theatre, one that showcased song and dance from the Tang Dynsasty. It cost about £12 but I paid and it turned out to be quite interesting – a lot of the dancers were very acrobatic, which was exciting!
The best act was probably a group of dancers dressed as Terracotta Warriors who kept balancing on each other (including on other dancers' necks!) and made a wall of people at the end by lifting two dancers in the middle, then rotating on the stage. It was so cool!
Friday 5th April 2013
Our first stop on our second (and final, boo!) day in Xi'an was the Xi'an city wall, which we had an hour to explore. We took a long walk (it was surprisingly cold, though it had rained most of the day before), though it turned out you can hire a bike there for about £4 for 100 minutes. We took a bunch of pictures and there was a good view of the city, but we headed back to the bus a bit earlier than most of the group because it was just so cold and windy.
Our second stop was the Muslim Street (回民街), which is behind the drum tower. The street has a lot of small shops and places to eat, so we had a wander and I bought a few souvenirs and a snack (a fried banana!). Lots of places seemed to have sales on; whether that was for the festival or not, I don't know. We only had forty minutes to spend here which kind of sucked – I would have liked more time to have a look at the shops, but we had to head off for lunch soon enough, at the hotel we'd been to the night before.
After lunch we went to the Shaanxi History Museum (陕西历史博物馆), which was interesting but I still couldn't get very good pictures (we weren't allowed to use the flash on our cameras) and by this point, we were all pretty tired. Still, we went around most of the exhibits and it's interesting to see how much history China – and Xi'an, particularly – actually has.
When we met the rest of the group, the teachers took us to a nearby teahouse where we got to try some samples and heard about some of the history of Chinese tea. We got a 'buy one, get one free' offer because we were in such a large group so a few of us ended up buying some tea – I have some, though I've not managed to drink any of it yet! (And no, I'm not telling you all how much it cost. Our food, travel and hotel were included in the trip though, as was our entry to all of the museums, so it was the most I spent in one go the entire time ;)).
Our train was scheduled to leave at 17.30 (or thereabouts) so we went to the train station after and wrangled beds so we were all in the same compartment. The train was still slow, but this time we were all in bed by the time the lights went out.
Saturday 6th April 2013
We returned to Beijing at about 05.00 again (the itinerary we'd received at first had told us we'd be back by noon, so that was a surprise!) and, to our excitement, blue skies and sun. I also found it interesting that there's
no very little traffic on the roads in Beijing at six on a Saturday, so it only took us about twenty minutes to get back to the university.
We all made it back to our respective dorms and, I'm pretty sure, did the same thing:

He's walking
This past week I decided to take Chase down to Babies "R" Us for his 1 year pictures at Kiddie Kandids. Lets just say I had high expectations, but quickly learned that with an active one year old you just hope for at least one good picture. I wasn't terribly impressed with the pictures, but I did end up buying a couple, simply because it was his one year pictures. Hope when we take pictures over the Holidays with his cousins we will have better results.
The biggest news this week is Chase took his first steps. It was on Thursday, the young women were coming to my house for an activity. As I was getting everything ready, one of the girls said "look" and there Chase was walking across the room, I couldn't believe it. He has been practicing all weekend and his getting pretty good as you can see.
On Saturday, we had one of Tyler's friends met us in the park to take some family pictures for our Christmas card, and again Chase wasn't in the mood to take pictures. We are hopeful that a couple work out. (To be posted later)
We had Stake conference this weekend. On Saturday, while the guys were at Priesthood leadership, Beth, Ashley and I (the moms') decided to get a babysitter and have a "girls night out". Thanks to one of the young women who was willing to watch all three of our little boys. We had a great time walking around the upper west side and going out to dinner. We will defiantly be doing this again.

The quality of our environment is one of the highest values in our modern society and deserves special consideration and protection. It is threatened by human activities in various respects: through industrial mass production and the resulting release of man-made chemicals into the environment, through the application of pesticides that leak into drinking water resources, through increasing traffic that causes significant air pollution or through the accidental spill of chemicals, to name just a few. In all cases, the quality of life and of our environment, or even human life or natural vegetation and wildlife may be at danger, and in all these cases, Environmental Analytical Chemistry is required to diagnose the status of the environment, and to decide whether there is a potential hazard.

So I went crazy today! Going through drawers, looking for things that do not get used so I can get rid of it! Declutter my friends, declutter. Here is what I came up with…
Clothes, of course! Like I said, if it does not fit… Get Rid of it!!!
CDs, DVDs, books I bought 12 years ago, swimming diapers, tights I never wrote and a magnifying mirror. Thank you, but I don't care to see my pores so closely! Get Rid of it!
Small water shoes, a foot guard from when someone fractured my toe (what are the chances I will need that again?). A baby float, gripe water that is like 4 years old (ew, I know!) And my infected metal from last year's Zombie Mud Run! It was a blast, but I am over it!
I think I have made it up for the 11 days I will be gone! I am looking forward to having fun in the sun!
Until Next Time My Friend,
Can you say "Spring Cleaning"?

The 52nd annual 'Wildlife Photographer of the Year' (WPY) 2016 Finalists have been previewed and there are some stunning displays of nature photography on show.
The competition saw 50,000 entries from a mixture of both professionals and amateurs, from 95 countries around the world. The full exhibit will go on display at the Natural History Museum, London in October 21st.
H/T The Daily Mail:
Collective courtship: By Scott Portelli, from Australia. Thousands of giant cuttlefish gather each winter in the shallow waters of South Australia's Upper Spencer Gulf for their once-in-a-lifetime spawning. Malescompete for territories that have the best crevices for egg-laying and then attract females with mesmerizing displays of changing skin colour, texture and pattern. Rivalry among the world's largest cuttlefish – up to a metre (3.3 feet) long – is fierce, as males outnumber females by up to eleven to one. A successful, usually large, male grabs the smaller female with his tentacles, turns her to face him (as here) and uses a specialized tentacle to insert sperm sacs into an opening near her mouth. He then guards her until she lays the eggs. The preoccupied cuttlefish (the male on the right) completely ignored Mr Portelli, allowing him to get close.
Nosy neighbour: By Sam Hobson, from the UK. Mr Hobson knew exactly who to expect when he set his camera on the wall one summer's evening in a suburban street in Bristol. He wanted to capture the inquisitive nature of the urban red fox in a way that would pique the curiosity of its human neighbours about the wildlife around them. This was the culmination of weeksof scouting for the ideal location, a quiet, well-lit neighbourhood, where the foxes were used to people (several residents feed them regularly) and the right fox. For several hours every night, Sam sat in one fox family's territory, gradually gaining their trust until they ignored his presence. One of the cubs enjoyed investigating new things, and his weeping left eye is the result of a scratch from a cat he got too close to.
Swarming under the stars: By Imre Potyó, of Hungary. After a few decades, the Danube mayfly (Ephoron virgo) have returned to the river Danube, probably due to the increasing water quality. The photographer said: 'The fantastic mass swarming of these mayflies is one of the most exciting phenomenon for me. My image was taken in a dark, near-natural bank on a tributary of the Danube with long exposure, flash and flashlight. Unfortunately, the lamp-lit bridges have negative influence to them, because they are attracted to the lamps, become exhausted, lay their eggs to the asphalt roads of the bridge and perish immediately. The team of the Danube Research Institute in cooperation with the Environmental Optics Laboratory plan to solve this biooptical and environmental problem. This image is very precious to me as I can draw the attention to these spectacular water insects and their complex ecological light trap'
Termite tossing: By Willem Kruger, from South Africa. Termite after termite after termite – using the tip of its massive beak-like forceps to pick them up, the hornbill flicks them in the air and then swallows them. Foraging beside a track in South Africa's semi-arid Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, the southern yellow-billed hornbill was deeply absorbed in snacking.
Crystal precision, by Mario Cea of Spain. Every night, not long after sunset, about 30 common pipistrelle bats emerge from their roost in a derelict house in Salamanca, Spain, to go hunting. Each has an appetite for up to 3,000 insects a night, which it eats on the wing. Its flight is characteristically fast and jerky, as it tunes its orientation with echolocation to detect objects in the dark. The sounds it makes is too high-pitched for most humans to hear, but creates echoes that allow it to make a sonic map of its surroundings. Mario positioned his camera precisely so that it was level with the bats' exit through a broken window and the exact distance away to capture this astonishing head-on shot.
Golden relic: By Dhyey Shah of India. With fewer than 2,500 mature adults left in the wild, in fragmented pockets of forest in northeastern India (Assam) and Bhutan, Gee's golden langurs are endangered. Living high in the trees, they are also difficult to observe. But, on the tiny man-made island of Umananda, in Assam's Brahmaputra River, you are guaranteed to see one. This photograph was taken at the site of a temple dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva, but the island is equally famous for its introduced golden langurs.
Playing pangolin: By Lance van de Vyver, from New Zealand/ South Africa. Lance had tracked the pride for several hours before they stopped to rest by a waterhole, but their attention was not on drinking. The lions, in South Africa's Tswalu Kalahari Private GameReserve, had discovered a Temminck's ground pangolin. This nocturnal, ant-eating mammal is armour-plated with scales made of fused hair, and it curls up into an almost impregnable ball when threatened. Pangolins usually escape unscathed from big cats – though not from humans, whose exploitation of them for the traditional medicine trade is causing their severe decline. Mr van de Vyver said: 'But these lions just wouldn't give up. They rolled it around like a soccer ball and every time they lost interest, the pangolin uncurled and tried to retreat, attracting their attention again
