Working Effectively with Volunteers – Recruitment, Development, Community Engagement and Beyond! (3/3)
Date(s) - 14/03/2018
10:00 am - 4:30 pm
St Neots Museum
This programme is now full. If you would like to contact us about it please email firstname.lastname@example.com
A free three part course for Accredited Museums and those Working Towards Accreditation in the East of England.
Three days in which we will look at both the day-to-day management of volunteer roles, and what volunteering can mean for your museum's bigger picture. We will move through the stages of volunteer involvement from defining the need for volunteers to saying goodbye.
The programme is designed to assist you to develop good practice at your museum, fully support the delivery of your Forward Plan and to help you create great ambassadors for your museum. (This programme is also available in Colchester on 16th Jan, 20th Feb and 13th March – please look on the Training programme calendar to book these alternative dates/locations.)
Who is it for?: Anyone (both volunteers and paid employees) working on the co-ordination of volunteers in museums.
It would be ideal if at least one person from each museum could come to all three days. But, we appreciate this may not be possible, so museums are also able to book for just one session or another member of the team could represent the museum on different days.
We will be offering a pre-programme meet up at your museum to meet your teams, and start to look at how volunteering works as part of your overall museum thinking. These meetings will take place in November and December 2017.
To support the museums' work during the programme a closed Facebook group will be set up.
Administered for an initial period of 3 months by the course facilitator, the aim being to continue the momentum generated by the course and to provide a safe environment to share information and obtain support beyond the classroom.
Trainer: Linda Brandish – Volunteering Adviser
Linda has been working with the Voluntary Sector for 15 years and has worked with SHARE on previous Volunteer focused training opportunities. Her approach is very much as a discussion facilitator and she encourages participants to bring their own examples and ideas to the sessions.
Day 1 – Wednesday 24th January – Where does it all begin? Planning and defining the need for volunteers.
Day 2 –Wednesday 14th February – Now you've got them, how do you keep them happy and focussed?Motivating and Developing Volunteers
Day 3 –Wednesday 14th March – Joining the dots…… Linking volunteers, Forward Plan and Community Engagement – book here for this one.
Arrival refreshments will be provided but please bring your own lunch.
This event is fully booked.

Church Rocks Trail is a 5.1 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Washington, Utah that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

There is no sign marking the trailhead at Highland Park, but it's easy to find. Leaving Highland Park follow the paved road a short distance northeast until the pavement ends. Pass the large boulders blocking the end of the road. The trail starts just past the cement. After about a half mile, the trail turns into a doubletrack and passes east through a gate heading toward a large water tank. Before you reach the tank, take the old dirt road on your left (south). That road goes a short distance downhill to a large tunnel that takes you under the I-15 freeway. A section of the trail upstream of the tunnel was recently washed away by a flash flood, but will be repaired. For now, simply hike for about a hundred feet up the wash until you hit the trail. Stay left at the first intersection. You'll be rewarded. There's fun short climbing and descending on classic Utah slick rock. Be sure to take time and enjoy the views. This trail ties into the Dino Cliffs trail to the south and Prospector to the north. You can access Church Rocks from trailheads on both of these trails.

Population density is an important factor when it comes to analyzing many different things.
In the context of our website (preparedness and risk awareness), we might for example, examine population density versus the wide array of risks which could affect many numbers of people – including the various ways to mitigate or avoid them (the risks and/or the people) – and to plan emergency actions based on the expected behavior of the varying densities of people (disaster, SHTF, etc..)
A new and powerful high resolution mapping tool has been recently developed to indicate population density – literally detailing each person's census location in the United States, displaying hundreds of millions of dots on the map…
Up until now, population density maps have generally been color shaded representations of regions, even so far as resolving down to the county level. This new map tool however resolves every person as a single dot on the map, and enables the user to zoom in to any region or neighborhood.
Brandon Martin-Anderson, a graduate student at MIT took 'block data' from the 2010 Census and transformed it into points on a map. One point per person.
Population Density Dot Map And How It Works
US Census data is available down to the level of the "census block" – in cities these often correlate to city blocks, but elsewhere they may be delineated by other features.
This map tool accesses the census data and gets the shape and boundaries of each block and the number of people recorded as living there. Then it places one dot for each person in the block shape.
There are 10 zoom levels to the map, resolving down to the neighborhood level. There is also a toggle on/off for labels with state boundaries, roads, etc..
As you experiment with the various map zoom levels and the blend of dots that they display, it becomes remarkably evident as to where the people live and where they are concentrated in varying degrees of density.
As you're planning your preparedness actions or your bug-out route, this population density dot map is a great tool…
Update: Unfortunately the website that hosted this map is no longer running. If anyone finds a link which shows the map indicated above (there is a zoom-able map), leave a comment and let us know…

Oscar for skaters
Best athlete of the year
Producer and director Ari Zakarian told about his idea to establish the saward for figure skaters, similar to cinematic "Oscar" and football "Golden ball".
For example there is a dream in life of any actor to receive the "Oscar", and it a great honor even only to be nominated for this award. In football there is the "Golden Ball" and its presentation always has a great resonance in the world. And there is no such kind of award in figure skating, which is the most popular winter sport. But with joint efforts it may soon appear. The negotiations about it are underway with the guidance of the International Skating Union (ISU). Although a final decision hasn't been made, the idea was met positively. – Zakarian said
Zakarian also emphasised that the prise will be awarded not only in the nomination "Best athlete of the year", best coaches, choreographers, costume authors will also be nominated.
The best will be chosen as objectively as possible. The role of the referee in this case will be entrusted to multiple audiences – skaters, members of national federations, coaching councils, journalists and even ordinary fans, who will be able to vote online. Each of nominations (and their list is large), will be named after a person, who first made a great contribution to his work.
About the dates for the award:
Presumably, the presentation of the annual award will take place during the traditional gala show at the end of a large figure skating start, including World Championships. To organize this technically is quite simply.
In Zakarian's opinion the new project will be implemented after the World CHampionships in Boston.

I think it's a great idea! Skaters deserve an additional opportunity to shine. And I'm hope for the red carpet with dresses and tailcoats!) I already can imagine it!
Yep, it should be awesome! )

Table Bluff Light
"Eureka, California"
Built: 1892
"Originally located on Table Bluff at the south side of the entrance to Humboldt Bay along California's northern coast, this 35 foot tower, which was attached to a two-story, Victorian keeper's dwelling, replaced the 1856 lighthouse which sat on the bay's North Spit. It was moved to its present location by Ray Glavich and other volunteers sometime after it was abandoned in 1975. It has been beautifully restored and sits in the Woodley Island Marina for all to enjoy."

luminary channel. cartographer.
transformational alignment portal.
robin lives in small town new england with her family of two and four legged light bringers. she consistently invites you to engage with all aspects of self with authenticity, love, clarity and compassion. daily practice, movement exploration, and freedom seeking are integral pieces of robin's life and work. robin's main body of work lies in her one on one practice. these luminary collaborative sessions help to guide and support any being towards living at full resonant capacity and expression. robin is also a writer/wordsmith and mystic food alchemist. she is equally unafraid of primal coffee, green smoothies, kitchen dance parties, kombucha and rye. robin shows up both to hold space for the quiet and live life loud.
(why) chasing light:
in this lifetime i have touched the darkness many times over. still i grow towards the light. my work grows and shapeshifts as spirit guides. i connect deeply with my guides, healing teams, and vibrational energies from the spirit and natural realms. i believe that every being on this earth deserves to experience themselves fully in alignment and full capacity power. i believe that my ability to connect with guides, angels, spirits, and energies allows me the gift of walking with you on your own personal path towards resonant authentic true self. i create my offerings in the spirit of service to the greater good of the world. knowing in my heart that each tiny step towards truth for any single being ripples ever outwards affecting powerful alignment everywhere.
warrior blooded. game changer.
I am robin e. sandomirsky. I was born, raised, and still live in small town New England. I have been a story teller, worshipping at the altars of the word for as long as I can remember. Scribbled truths and half poems mapping and guiding me through and to my lifelines. I have been a spirit healer, channel and teacher since I came of age. If you are longing for true home, to fill whole, to rise up to your next elevation, then you are my people. We use the gentled pathways of deep love and inherent velocity to move into your everything possible. Transformational alignment with true self.
In February of 1978 I was ushered into this world in the soft embrace of one of Boston's biggest and most famous blizzards. A deep brilliance of white. In this lifetime I have danced the darkness many times but I am a holder and bringer of light. I don't seek to present any perfection only what I know to be true. If you want to come home to your own sacred body, if you want to gift yourself the freedom of your being, if you want to touch that stuff you can just barely taste right under your skin and at the core of your core then you are ready step into our work.
I am a writer. I am a healer. I am home.
I have been called a spiritual advisor, a shaman fairy, a shapeshifter, a hope bringer and a heart warrior. My practice evolves and arises. I work with all levels and bodies—physical, energetic, spiritual, emotional, bliss, divine. My team and guides provide powerful connection that hold the light matrix of transformation and know the map of landing in authentic core self. I have trained and worked as a shaman, psychic, channel, interspecies communicator, hands on and intuitive healer for many years. I have earned a BA and an MA in Counseling Psychology. I am a certified Yoga Instructor. I have studied health, nutrition, homeopathy, flower essences, herbs, movement, balance, anatomy, and anything else I can get my hands on.
My energetic lineage contains my fullness. We work the land, we are artists, we homestead, our hands know all forms of creation. We study the healing arts, we were born knowing, we were sacrificed and sought. We enter the highest institutions of learning, our minds eclipsing the ordinary to weave together knowing from fact, intuition and cellular memory.
And, I am robin e. sandomirsky just another deeply in love mama. Living in a suburban town, packing school lunches, drinking green smoothies and making time for long walks in the woods and some playful movement on or off my yoga mat. Sometimes I run with my dog, grab a dirty cheeseburger from the place one town over, and have a double shot of whiskey on a Monday night. I love connection of all kinds, long deep talks, hours in the forest and the sun. I bake bread and cookies. I simmer bone broth, and watch junk TV.
And I am more. I am robin e. sandomirsky. Luminary explorer. Freedom Igniter. Warrior blooded game changer. Living by the tenets. Truth. Velocity. Embodiment. Anchored by the Seeker, Mystic, Rebel Guide.
If you feel a longing in your spirit that won't let you stop. If you are wanting to touch the next level of your self. If you are scared, and excited, and lost, and finding then you we are in this together. Welcome to living, welcome to the work. I can guide you towards accepting your higher potential. We will move in with deep love and expansion. We will meet all of you. The holy whole. It won't always be pretty but I will not leave your side. Truth. Velocity. Embodiment. I am here.
story ::
my path to becoming a telepathic animal communicator, shaman and healer.
i have avoided working on this page for days and weeks and possibly even years. when i was little i liked to sleep pressed up against my wall. i would get tucked in and you would find me in the same exact spot in the morning, covers barely rumpled my body curled into a small round c-curve cuddled up with the wall my bed was against. the cats would have come to join me of course, how can a person sleep without at least one small warm body circled up within their own slumbering shape.
when i was a teenager i was at a friends house once. their parents were away and their elderly dog was hiding under a car in the garage. they needed her to come into the house so they could give her her medicine. i had never met her but i knew how to sit on the garage floor and tell her it was okay to come out. she listened to me. i walked her into her house. i always felt that i knew who i was when i was with the animals.
when i was a bit older i was thrown off a great big horse and i fractured a few of the vertebrae in my back. in a why not moment my mom called a local animal communicator to gather information. trying to decide if we should blame the horse or our own human mistakes.
a few months later i found myself at a weekend long workshop learning to communicate telepathically with animals. as soon as i tried to listen, the animals spoke to me. they came to me each night in dreams and they connected to me while i was awake. they began to whisper, speak and shout at me about spirit. that was the end of the end and the beginning of my beginning. i started to step into myself.
the animals always spoke to me about spirit, about life, about the energy of the universe, about death. they peed on their person's bed as part of a sacred spiritual message. they refused to jump the fence to mirror their person's fears. their back hurt because their person's back hurt. the people who called me would cry, apologize to me for crying, get frustrated, and call me back again for more. the animals spoke the truth as teachers, visionaries and guides. i emptied myself of attachment and judgement and dared myself to share their messages. with each message i let pass through me i grew, i shifted, i felt healed my self.
next i found myself at a shamanic journeying workshop. a bunch of women sat in circle. i don't think any of us had ever journeyed before. we listened to the shaman leading us, we sang, we moved, we drummed, we started to journey. again my heart landed right. by the end of that workshop i was journeying on behalf of other women who were there - at their request. it felt as easy as sitting on the garage floor inviting that old dog out to walk with me. they say your true path is wide and flat.
i mentored with a shaman, i went to workshops, i begged my guides to lead me to my real, live, breathing, walking, human form teacher. no one showed up. i worked mostly alone with support of my mentor and the supreme guidance of the invisible world. my training was my own.
i went back to school and got a masters degree in counseling psychology. animals i knew. people intimidated me. i learned how to sit with a person. i learned how to speak with a person. i learned how to listen to a person in pain, and allow them their pain, and not presume to know more than i should. as a shaman you work as a vessel - seeker of information, sharer of information, hopefully bringing healing with you. but there are times when you have to be willing to sit with healing that is nothing like what you had imagined. when healing truly means sickness, pain, suffering, anguish, or loss. i learned how to be more comfortable being uncomfortable.
still i trained. with my guides. with my invisible team. with the animals i was hired to work with. the animals wanted me to journey for them. people started wanting to work with me also. my practice shifted and merged and became each time i took someone on - person or animal. i helped spirits cross over, i helped animals recover from trauma, i helped people heal from injury, illness, and emotional strain. i did traditional journeying on behalf of others, i did hands on energy work, i channeled messages from guides, guardian angels, deceased relatives, and animal friends. i worked with flower essences and herbs. i guided the beings who came to me towards working directly with their own guides, developing their own practice, finding their own path. i had no idea what to call myself.
my children came to me. both born in the light. beautiful amazing transforming souls. i devoted myself to them. i strived to create a magical, peaceful, beautiful home for them. i became a mama and it made my heart complete. all the crazy insane things people say about love i can say about my children. they constantly push me to be my highest and best. for them, i would do anything.
and still, because i was living, i trained. i journeyed to the creaking of the rocking chair as i rocked my babies to sleep. i spoke to clients on the phone late at night while my children were sleeping. i worked with my guides to help me to learn how to be a parent. i connected, and connected and connected. as a full time mama of two young children i learned how to connect directly to my spirit guides, my power animals, my healing support teams on the fly. in an instant. for an instant. for hours. my practice melded into my life. my life turned into a practice.
then i deepened my yoga practice. i had spent the last chunk of years learning how to leave my body, how to fly off to other worlds, how to connect to something outside of myself. it was time to journey in the other direction. it was time to reconnect to my own sacred temple. to be able to journey inwards for light with as much ease as i journeyed out to the light. it was work but i blossomed into it. i practiced yoga once a week, then twice a week, then everyday. i entered my teacher training. i immersed and learned. i connected with my guides as i developed my own personal practice. i used my ability to connect when i started teaching others. i tuned ever inwards to the true aligning power inherent in moving the body, using the body, having a body. it completed the circle. i became within and without. i became my own bright light and i ceased to exist, connecting only to the light of the divine loving universe. i learned again what a personal practice is.
i have trained. i have practiced. i practiced animal communication until i could do my work live in front of a crowd of people without freezing up with worry about looking strange or making mistakes. i practiced working with my spirit guides until i knew what it meant to trust the invisible world. until i sensed what it was to live life having the honor to call yourself a healer. i practiced my yoga until i knew what it was to have the blessing of my own personal temple. and i kept working uncovering the power of combining the channeling of light and my team with the true power of each individual who trusted me as their guide. learning the nuance of language as energy healing modality. discovering the capacity of each person to shift into their own innate, amazing, beautiful, messy truth with a little amplification on path.
i read, i laugh, i cook, i eat. i offer myself up as a luminary channel, and activating portal, a light seeker, and a hope bringer, to any living being who feels called to work with me. i devote myself to the service of others in the name of spirit, love and light. i devote myself to myself, over and over again, knowing that being open, raw, authentic, powerful and on my own path is the greatest calling i have. i strive to grow, shift, and become with the dedication and strength of a warrior. a spiritual warrior. a warrior of resonant energy. a warrior of light. i dedicate myself to the wide flat paths of life—knowing that any and all sacred striving leads us to the top of the same beautiful mountain. towards the light.
i am filled with words. this is just one version of my story. it is enough for today.

It was my first time dining at Food Foundry. Heard a lot about this place and finally got to check out the place when we celebrated Karen's birthday back in January.
When we arrived, it was packed. So we waited for quite a bit before getting this table. Hungry yo!
Ordered this. Quite small portion. Pfft.
The latte. RM11. Average.
Since the whole table was filled with girls, we took some time to chit chat after eating. Hehe
Say hello to my teammates. 😀
So is food foundry worth checking out? Well, if it was 2013, yes. But there are so many other restaurants with similar ambience and better food nowadays so I guess there is no need to check out this place if you haven't.
In case you still wanna go try their food, here's the address:

Fired Reporters Challenge Fox TV License
Steve Wilson and Jane Akre charge Fox with false and distorted news reports.
by Steve Wilson
TAMPA (January 3, 2005) For what is believed to be the first time ever, two television journalists have challenged the broadcast license of a station on grounds it deliberately broadcast false and distorted news reports.
Veteran reporters Jane Akre and Steve Wilson filed the petition Monday against WTVT Fox-13, in Tampa, a unit of Rupert Murdoch's Fox Television empire.
The formal Petition To Deny the station's pending license renewal presents the Federal Communications Commission with 98 pages of what the journalists say is "clear and convincing support for the claim that the licensee is not operating in the public interest and lacks the good character to do so."
The challenge stems from what the reporters say was a year-long experience inside the station, where they resisted Fox managers who repeatedly ordered them to distort a series of news reports about the secret use of an artificial hormone injected in dairy cattle throughout Florida and beyond.
The claim also cites another case of alleged deliberate distortion at the Fox-owned television station in Kansas City, WDAF Fox-4.
"No broadcaster should be allowed to put its own financial interests ahead of the public interest."
The journalists also charge that WTVT has violated federal rules with regard to keeping on file viewer complaints and comments. The reporters say not one communication regarding the dispute over the hormone story was found in the files even though there were several examples of letters, which should have been there.
"There are no greater supporters of the First Amendment than Steve and I," Akre said. "But the First Amendment is certainly not a license to lie and no broadcaster should be allowed to put its own financial interests ahead of the public interest. The public interest is by law the primary obligation of every broadcaster who uses our public airwaves to make their corporate fortune, especially when broadcasting the news."
"The FCC itself has clearly said 'rigging or slanting the news is a most heinous act against the public interest and indeed, there is no act more harmful to the public's ability to handle its affairs,' and who can disagree?" Wilson added.
The reporters charge station executives demanded the reports be falsified and slanted to avoid a threatened lawsuit by the hormone maker Monsanto, as well as potential loss of advertising from dairymen and others who objected to the reports.
Though Fox officials never pointed to a single inaccuracy in the proposed broadcasts, they nonetheless fired the two after the reporters refused to yield to management threats of dismissal. The two also refused what they characterized as a six-figure offer of hush-money from station managers who wanted them to leave and forever keep quiet about the issue.
In 1998, the two filed a civil court lawsuit seeking employee protections under the state Whistleblower Act that resulted in a $425,000 jury award to Akre. That verdict was then overturned in 2003 when an appeals court accepted Fox's defense that since it is not technically against any law, rule, or regulation for a broadcaster to distort the news, the journalists were never entitled to employee protections as whistleblowers in the first place.
Although Fox has always denied it ever ordered deliberate distortions, the jury found the reports at the heart of the dispute were "false, distorted, or slanted." While the appellate court ruling that reversed the jury called the journalists' suit "without merit from its inception," that finding was based solely upon the court's finding on the threshold issue that the Whistleblower law did not apply in this particular case. No court has ever disputed the jury's conclusions about the news reports themselves.
"The public expects the FCC to exercise its authority on complaints of indecency on the public airwaves, and it has in cases like Janet Jackson and here locally with Bubba The Love Sponge. Certainly no less important is the public's expectation that the airwaves they own will not be used to lie and mislead them on issues of public importance," Wilson said.
"Steve and I are gratified that six disinterested people who spent more than a month reviewing the facts ultimately agreed the story Fox demanded was, as the jurors determined, 'false, distorted or slanted.'
"As we said in our Petition, we are not seeking to retry our whistleblower case at the FCC. We are doing what we said all along that we have a duty to do: bring the facts of Fox's misconduct to the attention of a federal regulatory agency that long ago promised it would act to protect the public interest against broadcasters who twist the truth in news reports," she said.
"Reporters seldom if ever speak out against the news organization that employs them. I'm proof that doing so is not the best path to career advancement - but what happened here was too egregious for any honest journalist to ignore," Akre said.
"And now, with the strongest, clearest, and best-documented case of news distortion ever presented to the FCC by newsroom insiders, we call upon the Commissioners to exercise their authority to assure the public is being well-served and not misled," Wilson said.
The petition seeks a full and thorough investigation by the FCC followed by public hearings on the matter before any determination is made to renew WTVT's license to operate the station for the next eight years.

Sally Yates Headlines Law Week 2014
Sally Quillian Yates, the first woman to serve as the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia, kicked off Law Week on April 7, at Georgia State University College of Law.
Yates was the keynote speaker at the Monday luncheon sponsored by the Student Bar Association at 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Room 100 of the Urban Life Building. Nominated by President Barack Obama in 2010, she has spent most of her career in public service, including 22 years of prosecutorial experience with the U.S. Attorney's office. Yates was lead prosecutor in the Atlanta prosecution of Olympic bomber Eric Rudolph.
"In talking to colleagues at other schools, I've noticed that we have an environment of camaraderie and community that is unmatched in this city, and Law Week is one of the many ways we illustrate that."
—Stephen Adams (J.D. '14), SBA Law Week organizer
"The Student Bar Association is thrilled that Sally Yates is joining us for Law Week this year," says Michelli Rivera (J.D. '14), SBA president. "Yates' expansive litigation experience and dedication to public service is a perfect fit for Georgia State Law."
The Student Bar Association and student organizations hold events during Law Week to educate, entertain and engage classmates. An annual tradition, the week is an extension of Law Day, celebrated nationally as a day of dedication to the principle of government under law established in 1958 by President Dwight Eisenhower.
"Law Week is such a great time for the college to come together and really celebrate what makes Georgia State Law unique in the legal community," says Stephen Adams (J.D. '14), this year's organizer. "In talking to colleagues at other schools, I've noticed that we have an environment of camaraderie and community that is unmatched in this city, and Law Week is one of the many ways we illustrate that."

How do you find the best carpenter in Buckingham?
Carpentry schools in Buckingham provide the academic background needed in the job. Carpentry is a satisfying and creative career field. Carpenters who remodel homes and other structures need a broad range of carpentry skills because they must be able to perform any of the many different tasks these jobs may require.
Carpentry in Buckingham
To meet the training needs of persons interested in becoming a Carpenter in Buckingham, Buckinghamshire Trade Technical College offers a Carpentry Associate in Science degree and a Carpentry Construction Technologies Associates in Arts degree as well as their equivalent Certificates of Completion. The Carpentry Department offers a program of instruction which, when successfully completed, provides an excellent background for those desiring to enter the Apprenticeship Program. Preservation Carpentry facilities are well suited for lectures and small building projects. The machine and model-building shop is shared with the Carpentry program in Buckingham.
Carpentry in Buckingham is hard work. I don't know this from experience, but from observation. My husband, who is not a Buckingham carpenter by trade, occasionally builds things – something to make our lives easier. Sometimes I hang around just in case I'm needed and learn a lot from watching him work.
Buckingham Custom Carpentry has to be precise. If things don't fit together the way they are supposed to, modifications have to be made and that is even more work. Unfortunately, you can't count on every piece of lumber being exactly the size you expected or that it will be perfectly straight. Some are bowed or have knots in them or some other imperfection that results in adjustments having to be made down the line. One place where I may help is at the lumber yard. I try to point out pieces of lumber that are bowed. I know that it is best to leave those behind.

If you enjoy working with your hands, pick a carpentry trade school and start a prosperous future. Training prepares students for entry-level employment in the carpentry trade. Students become proficient in the use of power equipment to ensure success as a craftsman in the carpentry trade. You can pick a course online that teaches all the basics of the carpentry trade, including how to read blueprints.
Carpentry is divided into four sections: occupational skills, formwork, framing, and interior or exterior finishing. Carpentry skills are used in milling, fastening, joining, assembling, erecting and dismantling structural and architectural materials, and these are just some of the responsibilities a good carpenter will handle during a day's work. Residential carpentry can be more artistic if you are the creative type. Commercial carpentry may require more and different types of skills and certification.
Some apprenticeships in carpentry might require you to travel and researching the specific company will allow you find out specific information about that if necessary. For carpentry, this may be best done in person. You can also apply online for carpentry apprenticeships but be sure you're confident in the firm before applying. Students learn the safe and proper use and care of hand tools, power hand tools and power equipment used in the carpentry trade.
Log Cabins: Things to Consider When Choosing Yours

Sporty Jackets Under $100
August 4, 2016 by admin
Filed under Fashion Tips & Finds
I love that it's so easy to incorporate sporty pieces without lacking on style or even sex appeal. These sporty jackets are all fun and easy to wear with jeans, a little black dress, or even a pencil skirt. The best thing about them is that they're all under $100! Scroll down to read Sporty Jackets Under $100 !
Sporty Jackets Under $100
Black Stripe Sporty Jacket | Floral Sporty Jacket | Black Bomber | Dragon Bomber | MVP Jacket | Pink Bomber
Sporty Jackets Under $100
Which one is your favorite? I personally like the black and white striped ones! I like that retro vibe they got and they'd look cool with rolled up jeans and heels or even layered with a jumper, a sweater and a solid button up. The floral one would look super cute with white ripped jeans and black tee and edgy booties or even sneaks! The green on is the that piece you wear when you want to stand out. Love when one piece, like all of these sporty jackets, can be versatile enough to wear from day to night without much effort. That to me is what style is all about!

Short Term Residential Therapeutic Program
Short Term Residential Therapeutic Program is a part of .
Victor Treatment Centers (VTC) exists to provide a healthy, healing alternative strength-based services oriented living environment for severely emotionally disturbed children and young adults. As a result of a mental, behavioral, or emotional disorders these youth exhibit emotional, cognitive, and/or behavioral functioning which is so impaired as to interfere substantially with their role or functioning in their family, school, or community activities.
The Victor Short Term Residential Therapeutic Program (STRTP) is designed to create a community/family reconnection engine for highly disconnected foster youth with significant mental health challenges. STRTP will have two objectives: 1) to help youth permanently re-establish safe and nurturing family, educational, and community connections; and 2) to assist in establishing a new system of care that will prevent any more youth from reaching this point of disconnection.
The program is designed for youth and their families to remain connected after the client transitions from residential care using planned respite as needed while they are in their family-setting placements.
Short Term Residential Therapeutic Program for Adolescent Girls
Short Term Residential Therapeutic Program for Adolescent Girls is a part of .
As part of Victor Treatment Centers, Rosemary Children's Services owns and operates four residential facilities that serve 33 at-risk female adolescent youth. The Cottage (home to fifteen), along with three residential facilities (home to six) provide safe and supportive environments for adolescents between the ages of 13 and 18. All the residential facilities are located within the Pasadena and South Pasadena area. Each home is made up of a careful ratio of youth to staff. Staff are trained to meet the needs of the youth and help them grow towards becoming active and productive members of society. Youth are referred to these programs by counties and other public agencies as a result of being unable to thrive in less restrictive environments.
The girls are helped to heal and grow through the following extensive educational, therapeutic and recreational services:
- Child care counselors provide 24-hour supervision for the adolescents girls. Counselors transport girls to school, assist with homework, and help with on-going related issues and concerns
- Group Centered Leadership is a therapeutic technique and daily peer accountability group in which residents and caretakers gather to discuss positive and negative individual behaviors in a open forum.
- Community involvement exposes the adolescents to cultural activities, such as museums and local symphonies, to help transition them into community life and aid in the growth of socialization and self-awareness.
Rosemary Children's Services is committed to supporting family reunification following interventions designed to address such issues as interpersonal conflict, depression, social isolation, school failure, substance abuse, and neglect. Program participation strengthens the youth's relationships with their family, peers and teachers. Rosemary Children's Services is committed to the preservation of families or, if this is not possible, to quality preparation for emancipation.

If you are the driver who ran over our lovely Burmese cat Felix around 4pm tonight (Thursday) in Argyle Street, Herne Bay, would you please be kind enough to contact me on 0274754939. No recriminations. Felix is being treated and it's touch and go whether he will make it. It would be helpful to know exactly what happened.
Update, Friday:
Felix made it through the night, today's X-rays show he has a badly fractured leg, but no other life-threatening injuries. Orthopedic vet operating tomorrow afternoon. Max, who raced to his aid when he came in hurt, is fretting. Vet says Felix is coping reasonably well. Looking at horrendous bill and six weeks 'cage rest'. That will be interesting!
Gosh, "Felix the Cat" was one of the first TV programs I ever saw. I guess you must have seen it too. Hope your Felix makes it.
Same here, Trevor.
I'm told it was my favourite TV programme as a pre-schooler circa 1967. (Ringo Starr and the singing dollar notes on the decimal currency ads – "the 6th of July next year !!!" – apparently being my other favs).
'10th of july', not the 6th.
Oops, you're quite right. But, you know, I was a pre-schooler at the time, so…
Dear Brian and Judy
I just wanted you to know that I was devastated to hear about your cat and that everyone in my household (comprising one human, one dog and one cat) currently has their fingers and paws crossed that Felix will recover. Please give us updates as they become available.
Kind regards
Renee Lang
Awwww – poor puss. I've had cats perish on the road and it really is gutting.
Like you, all I wanted was an explanation. I hope you get one and Felix pulls through ok.
Good luck Brian and Judy. Hope Felix makes it.
a very sad thing to happen..i am sorry to hear it!!
If you have never had a pet, it is impossible to understand how attached one becomes to these pets in your life.
All the very best for Felix's recovery. But if it was one of those 4wheel 'trucks' meant for off road driving that people drive in the city at country speeds, would they know if they hit a a cat?
Thinking of you both!
And what do you drive?
Our thoughts are with you, Brian and Judy. We hope Felix pulls through.
Jenny & Gavin
Understand your sadness. Hoping for the best.
Very best wishes for Felix. He is the spitting image of Jerry, our childrens' Burmese.
Fingers crossed for Felix. Our bengal was run over recently in beach haven. Whilst he made it through, it was disappointing that the person didn't stop to check whether he was ok and instead just left him (he's a big cat, im sure they'd have known). keep us updated!
Really sad to hear this news. I hope he'll be ok.
Just read about Felix on Facebook and I hope he is still fighting hard and will soon be back with you. Thinking of you all. No fun when pets are in trouble. Kia kaha.
Im glad you found him. I hope he recovers. Animals always amaze me with their ability to manage pain and recover against the odds. I always lock mine (Burmese also)inside at night.
Being the owners of 2 beautiful burmese I also would be devasted. What a coward that couldn't stop and check to see if the cat was alright. Shame on you !
Hang in there Felix xx
All the best for Felix, I hope he pulls through ok. It's really horrible when something like that happens.
Keeping fingers crossed for you. It appears that Felix has a number of supporters wishing him a speedy recovery!
Poor Felix, glad you were able to find him! Fingers and paws all crossed for you.
Cats cross roads. For safety reasons vehicles shouldn't brake suddenly or swerve to avoid them. I'm sorry that your cat got run over, but it's probably not the drivers fault and they probably already feel pretty bad about it. Hope Felix recovers and goes on to lead a happy life. Pet lover, professional class 5 driver, and owner of a 4×4 which I drive in the city because I can't afford to own two cars.
I hope Felix is on the mend … We have a Chocolate Burmese as well, Hugo – your picture of Felix is SOooo reminiscent of him – he's always sitting in the bathroom sink. Best wishes to you all for a speedy and full recovery.
I will hazard a guess that our good friend and benefactor Gareth has contributed to the "I hate cats" vibe that persists in Auckland and means people like your driver dont stop and check on their accident.Just saying.
Sorry to hear about Felix. Hope he manages to pull through.
Our female cat, Kitty, was killed by a dog in the middle of the night last year and we're still upset about it. Same dog killed a number of other neighbourhood cats over the following few months.
Still feel as guilty as hell that I wasn't there to save her.
My sympathies. My boy Huxley was killed by my neighbours' two vicious dogs that were able to scale the 1.8m fence between our properties and get into my garden. This happened in 2010 and I was devastated. I got no help from "Dog Control", even though the dogs have previously killed a pet rabbit in the neighbourhood. I can't understand why the Council is so reluctant to enforce laws that state clearly that dogs need to be contained within the owner's property at all times (when not out on a lead). After that I installed a CCTV camera and got hundreds of dollars of fines for the irresponsible dog owner who could not contain his dogs, but the law never confiscated those dogs. Only a matter of time before a child is attacked.
Should add that Huxley was a cat, not an actual boy.
Thanks, Gayle. My sympathies to you, too.
Don't want to generalise too much but I do have to say I have a fairly negative view of dog-owners these days. Disproportionately anti-social and selfish in my opinion (which isn't to say they ALL are, mind you).
Every now and then, we encounter a dog roaming the street at will. No sign of an owner. Not long ago, some kids riding bikes on the road just along from our house were attacked by a loose dog and were naturally very shaken. Dog Control seems to be relatively toothless in our neck of the woods. Sounds like it's the same in your area.
A very fine-looking cat. Has a royal-bearing about him; here's hoping, he makes a complete recovery.
Last week my wee cat…Slinky…came down with an upper respiratory infection. he spent two nights at the vets, on a drip. He had one anesthetic, so as to check his throat and dental treatment, and came home with anti biotics. He has made a full recovery, and people/family from Timaru, Christchurch to Auckland have been informed of his progress. He is part of our family.
However, the bill was the best part of $1000.00.Fortunately I could cough up, but I guess some people have to make heartbreaking decisions at times, I don't how one could!
So pleased to hear that Felix will pull through! You probably don't want to hear this, but pet insurance (e.g. http://www.ellenco.co.nz/, owned by Southern Cross) can help enormously with those huge and unexpected vet bills.
As the owner of two Burmese, a Tortie moggie and a very spoilt greyhound this is my worst nightmare and the reason why we live in a walk-down villa on a very quiet street. I still remember the taxi driving ahead of us and seeing it bowl a cat then keep driving without even touching the brakes. Hoping that Felix suffers is six weeks of confinement with the dignified outrage so typical of Burmese and that he lives on to a ripe old age with no further scrapes.
I have a Birman and my brother, two Burmese. For such bright sparks, their road sense leaves a lot to be desired.. A large personality stuck in a small cage for 6 weeks? May the force be with you all. Glad he's going to make it.
Hi Brian,
sorry to hear your bad news. Hope your pet makes it. I lost my last cat the same way, but it was killed instantly by a car. The one before that, which was kept indoors( a seal point Burmese),lived a longer life by comparison. This is an all too common story in NZ for outdoor cats and the concept of containment both protects cats and protects the natural environment.
New Zealand has experienced a quarter of all the worlds modern bird extinctions, and we've lost half our endemic species as a result. 11 of these extinctions are down to house cats as the main causal factor. Many of our surviving birds are now critically endangered and outdoor cats are still a significant element in those bird's threat status.
We are a land of 60 unique lizards species and most people have never seen a lizard until it is brought home by their cat. Tragically, like our birds ,most lizards are also in decline and I ask you to possibly treat this sad event as way to help the public understand better, the need for cat containment.. for both our precious pets and our unique and declining biodiversity.
This is an all too common story in NZ for roaming cats – thousands of them the get hit by cars every month, and only lucky few are found (before they slink off to die somewhere hidden, in agony, and often slowly), or are killed on impact. The concept of containment of cats both protects cats and guards their welfare, as well as protects the natural environment in NZ (our native fauna).
It would be great if you and Felix could possibly treat this sad event as way to help the public understand the need for cat containment better, for both our precious pets and our unique and declining biodiversity. There is a great video on cat confinement system implemented by one very loving cat owner in Wellington: http://garethsworld.com/blog/environment/otis-rubi-cat-enclosure/
All the best for Felix's recovery and his future , hopefully without roaming.
Good that the cat seems to be on the mend.
My wife's cat's hobby was head butting cars. Weirdly enough, he lived to 14 and died from non automotive causes.
I was worried as our cat didn't come last night (we don't allow her to sleep outside), even though it was so cold.
She had previously managed to get herself stuck in the same drain twice(!), and inadvertently locked in a neighbour's garden shed for over a day.
There were a couple of other cats hanging around the driveway, so I was assuming a bad fight, lots of damage, and a big vets bill or even worse…
Then I got word she turned up at the door at 10 am, as good as gold, demanding a feed.
what a beautiful cat. very best wishes for a speedy recovery…
Sad about your cat, but this is another reason to keep cats contained. I have run over a couple of cats in my driving career, over 50 years, and have always stopped to assist. Both were dead on impact. I also knocked a runover kitten on the head, the driver was oblivious to running it over, he was turning into his own driveway, I was riding past on my horse. I suspect many drivers are unaware of hitting a lightweight animal like a cat. There's very little an unprepared person can do to help an injured cat, those teeth and claws can inflict nasty damamge. I've even had SPCA people refuse to handle feral kittens that my grandchildren had caught barehanded.
How about a further bulletin?
Sorry you do not love me BE, I can imagine the price those Vets in Wellington charge.
And as for shaving the cat up, well all it does is spread tiny hair particles into wound. Yes I know they wash the leg down.
You don't need a shave, you need a razor clean over the surgical area, with soap.
There is no such thing as completely sterile femoral surgery.
Once you get down to a femoral fracture its speed, grunt and sweat. Unless you are a new graduate, then its called shagging around and talking the talk to BE.
If it takes more than twenty five minutes you have inexperience.
Go on challenge me. Maybe a multiple femoral fracture
needing cerclage wire will take longer
Well now about the driver. This is what they report. I was driving down the road Mr. [ not doctor] Vet and I heard a
thump, I looked for that cat but could not find it.
Cats will move away from the accident on three legs very quickly.

It's hard to overstate the fear that arrived with reports of people mysteriously falling ill and even dying after attending an American Legion convention in Philadelphia during the summer of 1976.
"We don't know what we're dealing with," Pennsylvania's secretary of health was quoted as saying at the time.
The culprit, it turned out, was a bacterium. The microscopic organism was christened Legionella pneumophila; the serious infection it causes, Legionnaires' disease. Discovered in 1977, Legionella has sickened hotel guests, hospital patients, hot tubbers, cruise ship passengers, elderly nursing home residents, tourists and office workers.

Sanctuary Resident
AGN was asked by a defunct rescue if we could provide sanctuary to 3 bonded goat buddies.It is often assumed that animals do not grieve loss and can just learn to adapt if a bond is severed. Protecting such bonds is something we are passionate about at AGN. So once again, we opened our hearts and made a little extra space to preserve this bond.
Hank, Cowboy and Archie are 3 of the kindest and most gentle souls. Each has a wonderful and soothing energy about them. We may have given them sanctuary, but the hearts the will fill is innumerable.

A doctor who was falling-down drunk when he was busted in an alleged $400 million insurance-fraud scheme was forced to sober up in the slammer after his teenage daughter's sudden death pushed him even deeper into the bottle.
A judge revoked Dr. Sergey Gabinsky's $250,000 bond for missing two appointments with his pretrial-services officer because he was too wasted to leave his apartment, court records show.
During a Manhattan federal court hearing, defense lawyer Michael Farkas said the Russian immigrant, 55, had long been a "functioning alcoholic."
Farkas likened Gabinsky to Denzel Washington's character in the movie "Flight," "who manages to be a successful pilot of many years until a toxicology report comes out after a crash."
"He was obviously able to conduct a limited practice and not fall into a gutter somewhere," Farkas said.
But the devastating death of Gabinsky's daughter sent him spiraling out of control, drinking around the clock and discussing "the potential for suicide," Farkas told Judge Paul Oetken.
Farkas said Gabinsky also confided that he was "physically unable to leave the house" and "needs to be picked up by the marshals."
"It is a sad story, but I think that we are all acting in his best interests at this time," Farkas added.
When Gabinsky was hauled into court the next day, court records say he could "barely even walk," and Oetken ordered that he receive "any needed mental-health treatment, as well as any substance-abuse treatment" at the federal lock-up in Brooklyn.
He sought treatment, but underwent alcohol treatment last year after he had to be taken out of his Brighton Beach home on a stretcher when the FBI went to arrest him. But he fell off the wagon when his 17-year-old daughter got sick with flu-like symptoms and died of apparent meningitis in April, his lawyer told a judge.
Gabinsky was among three dozen people — including 10 doctors and three lawyers — charged last year with systematically defrauding insurance companies for bogus medical treatments under New York's "no-fault" auto-accident law.
Testing after his arrest showed Gabinsky had a blood-alcohol level of 0.38 — nearly five times the legal limit for driving — and the next day he told The Post he would have gone to work if he hadn't been busted.
"Who from Russia doesn't drink?" he said. "Everybody does."
Gabinsky pleaded guilty in February to conspiracy to commit health-care fraud and mail fraud, agreeing to serve nearly five years behind bars.
"He is an inherently good person who has the complete support of his loving family during this very trying time," Farkas told The Post.
"Dr. Gabinsky and his family hope that he will emerge from this experience a better and healthier person."

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Heat the oil in a large saute pan over high heat. Add the zucchini, bell peppers, garlic paste and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the vegetables are almost soft, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Whisk the egg and fresh herbs in a large bowl. Add the turkey, panko, grated cheese, 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and the cooled vegetables; mix until just combined.
Gently press the mixture into a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Whisk the remaining 1/4 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a small bowl; brush the mixture over the entire loaf. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

POMPANO BEACH — Large corporations and brokerage firms aren`t the only ones publishing annual reports for their stockholders.
A detailed brochure, recently released by the Pompano Beach Police Department, outlines its activities in 1984 and provides residents with a graphic look at the $8.3 million operation.
``Stockholders get an annual report at the end of the year because they want to see how their investments are doing,`` said Acting Chief Terry Sullivan. ``In a way, we`re trying to get the taxpayers to see what they`re getting for their money.``
Covering the fiscal year from Oct. 30, 1983 to Sept. 30, 1984, the 20-page brochure is loaded with charts and photographs.
According to the report, the police investment paid big dividends for citizen shareholders.
The department received 58,474 calls for service last year, up more than 10,000 from the year before. More than 880 criminal arrests were made, including 145 for burglary and 35 for robbery, the report reads.
Besides statistics, the brochure also provides a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the department`s day-to-day operation.
``People pay taxes, but they`re not entirely sure where the money`s going and what`s being done in specific areas,`` said Sgt. Bob Petersen. ``For example, when people turn on the tap, water comes out. That`s all many people know about it.
``Given the opportunity, they may be interested in how that water gets there.``
Pie charts show where the money is going, while all department functions are explained in succinct paragraphs throughout the brochure. Black-and-white pictures show police workers doing everything from patrol operations and detective work to fingerprint identification and firearms training.
Petersen readily admits feeling bullish about the brochure. After all, he and other members of the community services unit put it together by taking all the photographs and writing the text. Pasteup and printing were done by an outside firm.
