I'm Jonna!
I'm so glad you stopped by! I'm a wedding and family photographer serving Silver Spring, Maryland and beyond.
I was introduced to photography in college while working for my student newspaper. I've since had the opportunity to photograph a wide range of people, places, and events, but chose to focus on weddings and families because I love making art out of everyday life.
My philosophy towards photography is straightforward: keep it simple and have fun! You can ready more about this philosophy here.
When I'm not behind the camera, you can usually find me reading, writing, cooking, dancing, or hanging with my two favorite people—my husband, Cliff, and cat, Louie.

Proverbs 12:27
The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.
– Proverbs 12:27
The Proverbs speaks much of diligence and slothfulness. The first phrase shows the slothful man cannot finish what he has started. He has no commitment and perseverance to see a project through (Proverbs 19:24; 26:15). He creates a lot of waste and is left unsatisfied (Proverbs 6:11; 13:4; 21:25-26). The quarry taken in hunting is similar to the image of the harvest. There is a short time to roast it before it spoils. So, the slothful squander opportunities. The contrast expresses a different view by the diligent. All substance got through hard work and great blessing is precious, not to be wasted.

The 35th Anniversary Open Day of Chiu Lut Sau Memorial Secondary School was held on a day with fine weather and a gentle breeze on 13 March 2014. The Opening Ceremony of the Open Day cum the Curtain-up Ceremony of the New Mural was conducted with the honorary presence of Mr. CHAN Ka-wai, Principal of Queen Elizabeth School, Mr. TO Kok-on, Principal of Art and Technology Education Centre, Mr. WONG Ip-cheung, Principal of Tsuen Wan Government Secondary School, Mr. YAN Cheuk-tong, Chairperson of the Parents' and Teachers' Association, and Mr. POON Tak-cheung, Director of CLSMSS Alumni Association Limited.

The theme of the Open Day was 'Love Our School, Share the Moments, Try Our Best and Strive for Excellence'. Our teachers and students prepared for the Open Day for months in order to show the public and the community the achievement of our students in various aspects and their wonderful school life in CLSMSS. Apart from many and various game stalls displaying the creativity and collaboration of our students in the classrooms, there were informative displays of different teams and committees, showing the Other Learning Experiences (OLE) of our students, in Lut Sau Hall. To add spice to the delightful atmosphere, there were musical performances, and Chinese and English drama performances to let the guests know more about the talents and versatility of our students. Guided tours of the campus were provided for primary students of our neighbouring schools to help them get a better idea of how the secondary school life is like in CLSMSS. They visited different places of our school and the laboratories, and tried out some interesting experiments.
All in all, the continuous flow of visitors and their encouraging feedback are not only positive commendation to us but also recognition that Chiu Lut Sau Memorial Secondary School has been nurturing her students to be all-round and intellectual individuals throughout the years in the region.

As Air Force One refueled in Hawaii, President Obama spoke with members of the media on the way home from his trip to Asia.
According to the White House travel pool, Obama spoke to them for 20-25 minutes on the tarmac at the Hickam Air Base, but it was off the record.
Earlier, members of the White House Press corp grilled the president on his planned executive action on immigration reform, the Keystone pipeline, Jonathan Gruber's controversial comments, and the fight against ISIS at the president's G-20 press conference.
The news of the off-the-record session angered National Journal writer Ron Fournier, who fired back a response on Twitter.

From quick healthy snacks to family favourites
This recipe demonstrates how different types of vegetables can provide delicious flavours and textures.
Boiled vegetables might remind you of school dinners, but this recipe demonstrates how different types of vegetables can provide delicious flavours and textures. What's more, using a variety of colours helps you to get a range of nutrients - beta-carotene from sweet potatoes, vitamin C from the peppers and fibre from the courgettes. The good news is that, once you've prepared the ingredients, you can just forget about it as it cooks slowly - the only reminder is the aroma of garlic and onion oozing from the oven door.
Preheat the oven to 200C°/400°F or Gas Mark 6.Lightly grease a shallow ovenproof dish with oil and layer the sweet potato slices on the bottom. Add the bay leaves. Season with some of the flavourings (salt and pepper, basil, garlic, dried herbs) and drizzle 1-2 tsp of olive oil over the layer.Repeat the process with all the other vegetables and finish with a layer of baby aubergines and yellow pepper. Season the top layer well and drizzle on some lemon juice.Cover with foil and cook in the oven for 30 minutes. Turn down the heat a little and then cook for a further hour until the vegetables are soft. (Cook for less time if you prefer them crunchy).Serve hot with the bulgur wheat.

Susan Reid EFT Master Practitioner and Modern Stress management Facilitator; Motivation Therapist and Coach.
Building on my experience of 23 years as a senior manager in health and social services and the not for profit sector I retrained in 2014 as a clinical hypnotherapist and NLP coach which led me to want to learn more about a technique known as Emotional Freedom Technique or "Tapping". So in August 2015 I trained with Bridin McKenna to qualify as a Master Practitioner and then in November went on to qualify as a Modern Stress Management Consultant. I have a particular interest in stress and the evidence based modalities that allow us to not just remove the interference of stress from our mind and bodies but actually to feel, act and think better. I believe in a holistic approach to health and well-being and that we each have the innate knowledge of what we need. I offer sessions tailored to meet the needs of the individual drawing on all my experience but focusing on EFT.
Further information
In 1982 I graduated from QUB and was accepted as a graduate management trainee in the health and social services in Northern Ireland. I completed a "cook's tour" of the health and social care system working at every level from DHSS through to shifts with porters and domestic service staff in the Royal Victoria Hospital. My last post in Health and Social Care was as Director of Commissioning and Planning in the Southern Health and Services Board. I then took up the role of Country Director ( Northern Ireland and Isle of Man ) for the Royal National Institute of the Blind and from there moved to be the Chief Executive of Victim Support in Northern Ireland.
In August 2010 I qualified as ILM level 7 Executive Coach and Leadership mentor and discovered a passion for working with people on a one to one basis helping them clarify what they wanted for themselves and how to best make that change happen. The training awakened an interest in positive psychology and I was fascinated to learn some of the techniques which were less about defining why a person felt bad and more about how they could feel better.
In 2014, after a period of intense personal stress and by researching ways to help me bring about the change I wanted in my own life I trained with Matthew Ferguson in Inverness to achieve a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy and NLP coaching. Part of the course included a module on Emotional freedom Technique or "tapping" as it is sometimes referred to. I began to use the techniques I had learned with clients on a one to one basis and noticed how many people were displaying signs of stress but had no awareness of their own stress levels. In 2014 I studied Mindfulness techniques as a means to working with people and used techniques from Mindfulness and Yoga to assist clients in relaxation. The more people I worked with and the more I researched into evidence based modalities the more curious I became to learn more about new developments in EFT and this was how I met Bridin McKenna and undertook the course she led in positive EFT. I achieved the level of Master Practitioner in August 2015. The results I have seen in practice convinced me to take on further training in techniques to use EFT to not just remove stress but to increase positive well being and to that end I completed the Modern Stress Management Facilitator course in November of 2015. I am also currently training to be a Yoga Instructor.
As someone who has had the experience of personal benefit from Life Therapies both as a client and a student I am thrilled to join the team and offer EFT as my personal contribution.

Are you looking for a solution to increase the area of your house without undertaking a major renovation project? Without taking down walls and building house additions, you might think it's impossible to make your spaces feel larger. However, bay windows can be the trendy solution you're looking for.
Benefits of Bay Windows
Bay windows have actually long been an attractive home improvement solution to make to your house. Not only do they look excellent, however they offer a number of benefits that not all other styles of windows can provide you. Here are a few of the many benefits of setting up these stylish windows in your home.
Add Value to Your House
When you drive past a house that has bay windows, you immediately notice it. From the outside, they offer your house a clean and contemporary look. From the inside of your house, the windows look classy and make your space feel roomy. The combination of both aesthetic appeal and enhanced square footage add value to your house.
Natural Light
With a flat casement window, natural light can only get in a room from one angle. However, bay windows have panoramic views, so even more natural light can enter a space from multiple directions. Not only will your room feel bigger, but it'll be brighter.
Ventilation Benefits
Unlike conventional windows, bay windows provide you even more ventilation choices. These windows provide the choice of having two running windows so that you and your visitors can enjoy fresh air from more than one direction. You and your guests will certainly feel more comfortable in your house.
Whether your house is a Victorian design or has a more modern-day design visual, they are a popular choice for just about any home design style. They can be installed in practically any space and are most typically installed in kitchen areas and living spaces. They also offer your home with relaxing little reading nooks and banquette design seating to make the most of the extra space.

Sign of the times number one: Samih Kalakeche quit his job as Liverpool's adult social care director because he was tired of axing services for the elderly and vulnerable in the city – then warned that social care services could soon disappear altogether.
Sign of the times number two: director Ken Loach highlighted how the government treats hundreds of thousands of people in this country with "callous brutality" while accepting a BAFTA for Best British Film for I, Daniel Blake - and Tim Loughton, Conservative MP for East Worthing and Shoreham, tweeted: "Just had a great night at the BAFTAs apart from the usual predictable drivel from Ken Loach in his own La La Land."
Thank God for Ken Loach, thank God for Samih Kalakeche and thank God for everyone who takes a stand and highlights the injustices in our society.
That sick "we're all in this together" line still isn't funny, but thankfully there have always been good people prepared to put their best feet forward and show solidarity in the face of uncaring governments.
In many cases, these people walk together in solidarity, and in hope. There was, for example, the Jarrow March (aka Crusade) of October 1936, when 200 men marched from the Tyneside town of Jarrow to London, in protest against unemployment and poverty.
And we saw it in May 1981 when the People's March for Jobs from Liverpool to London took place – but not before the 500 marchers received a joint statement of support from the Anglican Bishop of Liverpool, David Sheppard, the Catholic Archbishop of Liverpool, Derek Worlock, and other religious leaders.
But this April it will be destination Liverpool, and it is at this point that I will declare a family interest: my brother, Guy, the chair of the British Association of Social Workers (BASW), will be leading social workers and supporters on a seven-day "Boot Out Austerity" walk from Birmingham to Liverpool, arriving on April 25, the day before BASW's AGM and conference at the Hilton, Liverpool One (boot-out-austerity.co.uk).
We're not all in this together, but this will be a good chance for people to show whether they are with Ken Loach and Co or Tim Loughton and Co.

Oregon State will be looking to build momentum when the Beavers host Washington State this weekend in Pacific-10 baseball. The longtime rivals renew a series dating back to 1910 when they meet Friday at 5 p.m., Saturday at 1 p.m. and Sunday at 12 noon at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field.
The teams met earlier this season in Pasco, Wash., with WSU winning 8-6 and OSU winning 4-0 in non-conference play.
The Beavers (15-15 overall, 2-4 Pac-10), winners of their last two games, continue to work toward a high level of play day-in and day-out as they greet the Cougars (9-23, 1-5).
'We keep showing we can compete at the highest level, and we keep needing to sustain that kind of execution and effort all the way through a game and all the way through a weekend,' OSU head coach Pat Casey said. 'That's the hump that we've still got to get over.
'Despite some of the struggles we've had, we've still managed to play .500 ball and there are still a lot of good things that can happen for this team if we start performing well on a more consistent basis.'
The Beavers could get a lift from the recent return of two players - senior righthander Ty Kline and sophomore outfielder Aaron Mathews. Both missed most of the first two months of the season, but Kline saved OSU's 6-5 win at Washington last Sunday and Mathews hit his first homer of the season in the Beavers' 10-1 victory over Portland on Tuesday.
'It gives us two more quality guys that we can use when we need to make a move,' Casey said. 'Both of them have come back and contributed, and both of them should keep getting better as they get used to being in ballgames again.'
Mathews' return gives the Beavers even more strength in an already-strong outfield, putting him in rightfield alongside freshman centerfielder Jacoby Ellsbury and junior leftfielder Seth Pietsch.
'We said at the start of the season that this was maybe one of the best outfields in the Pac-10,' Casey said. 'And now we've got several guys we feel comfortable with out there, because (senior) Chris Biles and (junior) Kerisi Reynolds have both shown they can hold down one of those spots.'
OSU also finds itself with a potent platoon at designated hitter with Biles and junior Levi Webber. Biles is on a 12-game hitting streak that includes six multi-hit games, and he's raised his batting average from .265 to .359 in that time; Webber has a hit in six of his last seven games to bring his batting average from .214 to .295.
'The way those two have hit has given us a little more production and opened up some things we can do other places in the lineup,' Casey said.
Junior infielder Tony Calderon has also flourished at the plate over the last six games after moving from third base to shortstop. During that time, he's had 12 hits and raised his batting average from .341 to .387, the best mark on the team. For the year, he's got four homers and 29 runs batted in.
Senior first baseman Andy Jarvis is also on a tear with 12 hits in his last five games, bumping his average to .375. Pietsch is batting .371 with a team-high seven homers and 29 RBIs, while Ellsbury is at .305 with one homer and 17 RBIs.
Washington State comes to Corvallis having lost four in a row. The Cougars were swept by seventh-ranked Stanford in Pullman last weekend by scores of 6-1, 12-5 and 8-5 in 11 innings; on Tuesday, they fell to Gonzaga 10-1 in Spokane.
At the plate, the Cougars have been led by junior outfielder Justin Hart (.328 batting average, 2 homers, 5 RBIs), freshman outfielder Jay Miller (.291, 1, 15), sophomore infielder Derek Bruce (.286, 4, 13), senior infielder Robert Stahlke (.280, 0, 8) and sophomore infielder Grant Richardson (.279, 3, 22). Starting on the mound for WSU have been senior lefthander Tony Banaszak (1-7 record, 4.27 earned run average), junior righthander Aaron MacKenzie (2-3, 4.32) and sophomore righthander Bryce Chamberlin (3-3, 6.70).

OREGON STATE ALL-TIME VS. THIS WEEK'S OPPONENT: Oregon State has an all-time record of 177-212 against Washington State in a series dating back to 1910. The teams met earlier this season in a non-league series in Pasco, Wash., on March 14-15, with Washington State winning the first game 8-6 and OSU the second game 4-0. Last season, OSU swept 6 games from the Cougars as the Beavers took a non-league series in Corvallis by scores of 9-1, 5-4 and 6-5 in 10 innings; Oregon State then swept a Pacific-10 series in Pullman by scores of 18-1, 10-6 and 22-21.
OREGON STATE NOTES: Saturday's game will mark the 1,300th counting varsity baseball game Oregon State has played at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field. The term 'counting' is used because there have been several exhibition home games played by the Beavers' varsity squad since 1967 that haven't counted in season records, and aren't counted in that total ...
The up-and-down nature of Oregon State's season is reflected in its winning and losing streaks. OSU has had 2 3-game winning streaks and 1 4-game losing streak; it has also had 3 2-game winning streaks and 3 2-game losing streaks ... OSU has a losing record at home (4-5), but is at .500 on the road (4-4) and has a winning record at neutral sites (7-6) ... OSU is 10-4 when it outhits its opponents, but the Beavers are 4-10 in games in which they've been outhit ... OSU is 6-4 when it commits fewer errors in a game this season, and 4-0 when both teams commit the same number of errors ... OSU is 11-1 in games in which it leads after 8 innings, 10-2 in games it leads after 7 innings and also 10-2 in games it leads after 6 innings ...
Starting all 30 games at the same position for Oregon State have been first baseman Andy Jarvis and leftfielder Seth Pietsch; starting 28 games at the same position have been centerfielder Jacoby Ellsbury and second baseman Chris Kunda ... besides Jarvis and Pietsch, the other Beavers to start every game have been Tony Calderon (22 at third base, 8 at shortstop) and Ellsbury (28 in centerfield, 1 in rightfield and 1 at designated hitter) ...
Pietsch leads OSU with 16 multi-hit games; Jarvis and Calderon have 12 each; senior outfielder Biles has 10; Ellsbury has 9; junior outfielder Kerisi Reynolds has 6; and Kunda has 5 ... Calderon leads the Beavers with 9 multi-RBI gmaes; Jarvis has 7; Pietsch has 6; Biles and Ellsbury have 5 each; and Reynolds and junior catcher Paul Richie have 3 each ... OSU's longest current hitting streak belongs to Biles at 12 games, while Jarvis and Ellsbury have 5-gamers going ...

THE PAST WEEK: Oregon State won 1 of 3 games in a Pacific-10 series at Washington last weekend, then returned home to beat Portland in a non-league game on Tuesday.
On April 4, Oregon State's Chris Biles pushed his hitting streak to 9 games and Aaron Mathews saw his first action since the second game of the season but the Beavers lost to Washington 10-4. Biles extended his streak with a 2-run single in OSU's 3-run third inning; that drew OSU within 4-3. But Washington scored 3 times in both the fourth and fifth innings to retain control. Andy Jarvis was 3-for-4 for OSU. Mathews pinch-hit in the eighth inning; his 14-game hitting streak that dated back to last season ended when he flied out in his only plate appearance. OSU's Ben Rowe pitched 7.0 innings for his third consecutive start, and the junior righthander was victimized by 4 unearned runs brought about by 2 passed balls. The Beavers had a big chance in the bottom of the sixth, loading the bases with none out, but couldn't score.
On April 5, OSU dug itself a hole in the early innings before a rally fell short in a 9-8 loss at Washington. The Beavers, trailing by 4 runs after 5 innings, put the tying run in scoring position in the ninth but couldn't push it across. Chris Biles extended his hitting streak to 10 games for Oregon State, which outhit the Huskies 15-10. Andy Jarvis and Tony Calderon were both 3-for-4.

The Beavers evened things with a 3-run seventh inning, though, then scored single runs in the eighth and ninth before holding off the Huskies in the bottom of the ninth. Chris Kunda and Levi Webber had pinch-hit singles that drove in runs in the seventh inning. Andy Baldwin's 3.0 innings of 1-run relief work earned the win to boost his record to 3-0.
On April 8, Jake Postlewait pitched 5.0 innings of 1-hit, scoreless ball as Oregon State beat Portland 10-1. Andy Jarvis moved into a tie for second on OSU's all-time list of career hits leaders and Aaron Mathews hit his first home run after missing nearly 2 months of the season. The Beavers got a 5-hitter from the combination of Postlewait, Mike Ekstrom, Noel Clark and Jared Sanders. OSU played errorless defense against the Pilots and six of Oregon State's 10 hits went for extra bases. Postlewait earned his first win since a Feb. 14 victory over Oklahoma State. The junior lefthander faced just 2 hitters over the minimum and needed only 52 pitches to get through his 5.0 innings of work; he walked 1 and tied his career high with 5 strikeouts. Postlewait didn't allow a baserunner until the fourth inning, walking Ryan Heil with 1 out. An out later, he surrendered his only hit when Travis Vetters singled to right. Oregon State made it 5-0 on Mathews' 3-run homer to leftfield in the fourth. Jarvis was 2-for-4 with a triple and Biles extended his hitting streak to 12 games, going 2-for-4 with a double.

OREGON STATE'S 'MIDDLE OF NOWHERE' OUTFIELD: Oregon State has a starting outfield that ranks among the best on the West Coast, and the Beavers found that talent in some places that are little-known outside the state of Oregon. Junior leftfielder Seth Pietsch hails from Wilderville, which is located west of Grants Pass in Southern Oregon; sophomore rightfielder Aaron Mathews is from John Day, nestled in the hills of Northeastern Oregon; and freshman centerfielder Jacoby Ellsbury is from Madras, located north of Bend in Central Oregon.
All 3 played for Class 3A high schools, a step below Oregon's largest classification. Pietsch played at Hidden Valley, Mathews at Grant Union, and Ellsbury at Madras. The memers of the trio all possess speed, outstanding defensive ability and potent bats.
Pietsch has consistently ranked among the Pacific-10 leaders in batting average, slugging percentage and total bases this season. Mathews was a Freshman All-America honorable mention pick by Collegiate Baseball in 2002, but missed nearly 2 months of the 2003 season after being hit by a pitch in the second game. Ellsbury was the 23rd round draft pick of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays out of high school and has already robbed a pair of opposing hitters of homers this season while batting over .300.
OREGON STATE SCHEDULE: Oregon State's 2003 schedule includes 7 games against teams in the Sports Weekly/ESPN Top 25 coaches poll of April 7: No. 4 Arizona State (4 games) and No. 7 Stanford (3 games). The schedule includes another 8 games against teams receiving votes - Arizona (3 games) and Washington (5 games).

RAIN ON THE ROAD: If the trend from recent years continues this spring, Oregon State will have a lot better luck with the weather at home than it does on the road.
Since the start of the 1997 season, the Beavers have had 32 games either canceled or rescheduled due to rain. Of those, only 11 have been games at OSU's Goss Stadium at Coleman Field; 14 were at ballparks in California, Nevada, Hawai'i, Texas or Florida. Another 7 were at ballparks elsewhere in the Pacific Northwest.
OSU has lost just 3 home games to rain during that time, while having 11 games canceled at sites outside the region and 3 called off at other Pacific Northwest ballparks. The Beavers have had to postpone 7 home games, 3 games at sites outside the region and 5 at other Pacific Northwest ballparks.
OREGON STATE IN PRESEASON RANKINGS: Oregon State received votes in the Sports Weekly/ESPN Coaches Top 25 preseason poll; it's the first time in recent years that the Beavers earned votes in the preseason poll ... OSU was picked for eighth place in a preseason poll of Pacific-10 coaches. However, OSU has placed higher than the coaches' prediction in each of the last 3 seasons.
OREGON STATE HEAD COACH PAT CASEY: Pat Casey, now in his ninth season at OSU, celebrated the 400th victory of his head coaching career on April 14, 2002 when the Beavers completed an 11-9 win over Hawai'i-Hilo. Casey's career record is 424-303-5, which includes 7 years at George Fox in Newberg, for a winning percentage of .583.
Casey has a record of 253-190-4 with the Beavers for a winning percentage of .570. Of the 19 head coaches in OSU baseball history, only Ralph Coleman (1923-28, 1930-31, 1938-66) and Jack Riley (1973-94) have coached more wins for the Beavers.
Casey was named the Pacific-10 Northern Division Coach of the Year in 1997 after leading the Beavers to a 38-12-1 mark, a school record for wins in a regular season.
During Casey's time at OSU, 19 Beavers have been drafted by Major League Baseball teams and 4 more players have signed as free agents.
Casey came to OSU from his alma mater, George Fox, after leading the Bruins to a 171-113-1 record and winning 3 NAIA District 2 titles at the school in Newberg, Ore.
OREGON STATE'S ALL-TIME RECORD: Oregon State's all-time record in varsity baseball is now 1,736-1,203-15, a winning percentage of .590. OSU's all-time record in conference games is now 772-564, a winning percentage of .578.
To break the numbers down a step further, since starting varsity baseball in 1907, the Beavers have scored 19,338 runs and allowed 14,979 runs. That's an average score of 6.55-5.07.
GOSS STADIUM AT COLEMAN FIELD: Oregon State has been playing on the same site since starting varsity baseball in 1907, making Goss Stadium at Coleman Field the oldest diamond in the Pacific-10 and one of the oldest in the country.
Now in their 94th season at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field, the Beavers are 905-392-1 at home for a winning percentage of .698. This season, OSU is 4-5 at home. Since the start of the 1993 season, OSU is 155-63 at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field for a winning percentage of .711.
Oregon State's ballpark made its first venture into night baseball in 2002 with the addition of its first-ever set of lights. The first night game saw OSU beat fourth-ranked Stanford 4-1 on April 27.
Goss Stadium was added to Coleman Field over the winter of 1998-99. The ballpark holds 2,000 fans, with the main grandstand seating 1,500 of those. The structure includes a press box, concession/lobby area, dugouts, locker rooms, restrooms and storage areas.
The playing surface has been completely rebuilt recently, with the infield undergoing renovation in 1996 and the outfield in 1998.

There is a team/group rate of $2 per person, but those interested in using that plan must call the OSU athletic ticket office at 1-800-GO BEAVS at least 2 days prior to the game to arrange for those tickets.

Sweating the small stuff? These five project management apps will put you in control of the million little things it takes to run a business—and keep you fresh as a daisy!
"Small business owners, especially sole proprietors, are typically Jacks of all trades," says Lisa Seeto, a Certified Project Manager and management consultant based in Toronto. But running a business often takes more mastery than the average Jack can muster. Luckily, there are project management apps and platforms to help business owners get a handle on their workflow and finances.
Today, we're reviewing our five favourite project management applications, each geared toward turning you into the master—not the Jack—of your trade.
Tools like these can help you master your tasks, but no one can do it all, forever. As you grow, your domain will eventually outgrow your grasp. "As a small business expands," says Seeto, "an entrepreneur's main focus should be on driving the long-term strategy of the company—not running the operations." In other words, sometimes mastering your trade is simply a matter of knowing when you need another Jack.
And when the Jacks start to stack up, you might need to rethink your entire project management strategy. "Depending on the complexity of the business, it may be worthwhile to engage a project manager," says Seeto. If nothing else, a PM consultant can offer insights into what's slipping through the cracks, so that the business owner can respond in the appropriate way—with the appropriate tools.

kāmādidosa haramātmapada sritānām
ramanujam yatipatim praNamāmi mUrdhanā
Bow do I unto Ramanuja, the king of ascetics,
Who, his votaries delivers from sinful love etcetera,
And adores the feet of Nammazhvar, who meditates,
On the lovely lotus feet of the Lord with amazing love.
(1) Ramanuja's excellence has several facets, but the chief among them was his adoration of Saint Nammazhwar (Parankusa) who was like unto a goad (i) weaning round his spiritual antagonists through his scintillating hymns, and (ii) making the Lord Himself pliable, enraptured by his sweet, divine love-laden hymns.
(2) And what about the Azhwar (Parankusa)? His love unto the Lord was too deep, rather bewildering-Prema avilasaya.
(3) kāmādidosaharam:-Mark this expression. Instead of saying kāmādiharam, it is said kāmādidosaharam, thereby indicating that love, anger etc., each by itself is not sinful and could be a virtue, if love is shown to God and His devotees and the anger is directed against their enemies. What is sought to be discarded through Sri Ramanuja's grace is the sinful type if love, anger etc.
(4) praNamāmi mUrdhanā: Bowing is of course bending of the head in salutation and yet the word mUrdhana (by head ) has also been added just to signify that the head has been given to us only to bow before the Lord and it is only by bowing, the head can prove its worth and vindicate its functional utility.

Turns out I might be a fairy godmother myself after performing the heimlich manoeuvre on my friend last night. A scary couple of minutes where she was choking and being moments off her not breathing and needing an ambulance. Fortunately it worked and within a short while we were sat round chatting again.
I had planned to head to The Art House tonight to try out the Write on Writers group but have decided I will attend this for the first time in a fortnight. Instead I happened to chance upon a book that looks very useful on one act plays.
The next three days I am off work so can spend some time on my to do list. Part of this will be sorting out my Twitter listings in the hope of this being some use to the Writing Buddies. I am also going to spend as much time as possible on the one act play in the hope of completing a first draft.
I received an e-mail today about a very nice Competition. The challenge is to write the FIRST LINE of a Nicci French crime short story. The best first line will then be picked and Nicci will write a short story from that line. It will then be published in a future novel and you will be credited if picked. Only one entry per person though so better make sure it's a good opening line. I will definitely enter this one as I'm sure I can manage one line. Not sure I can class it as one of my small projects though. Good luck to anyone who enters this.
Also a note of thanks to Jacqueline for being so complementary about my blog especially as I can only work half of it so far! I hope other Writing Buddies will also find it useful as well.

Dr. Kim discusses factors that determine hospital stay after colon cancer surgery.
Surgery is the main form of treatment for colon cancer. The part of the bowel containing the cancer is removed and the two ends of the bowel are then joined together. If it is not possible to rejoin the two ends then a colostomy or ileostomy may be required. To many people, surgery can conjure up images of pain and extended hospital stays and recovery.
Every patient is different, as Dr. Kim explains in this video. There are many factors that go into the length of a hospital stay after colon cancer surgery, including overall health before surgery and bowel movements after surgery. Expect to be closely monitored and ask your doctor any questions you may have. Being an empowered patient can make the process much easier and less stressful.
Hospital stays have shortened in recent years as technology and surgical techniques have improved. For many patients, it's very unlikely that they will spend weeks in the hospital recovering. In this video, Dr. Kim goes over some of these determining factors for the length of a hospital stay after colon cancer surgery, and what patients can expect in general.
Video Transcript
Eugene M. Kim MD: For most patients on average that would range anywhere from three to seven days depending on their recovery, obviously every patient and every person is different, probably the number one thing that I determine when the patient is ready to go home is when their bowel function returns after colon surgery because the natural reaction of the patient's body after their colon surgery is the bowel goes to sleep and takes some time to wake up, so when that's functioning again most of the time, the patients were able to go home once again that's on average three to seven days following their colon operation.

QS Ranks Silliman Top 6 in the Philippines
International independent research institution Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) has ranked Silliman University as the Top 6 institution in the Philippines.
The University's standing was contained in a fact file issued directly to Silliman a week before the public release of the QS Asian University Ranking by Subject 2013.
QS also cited Silliman as the country's Top 2 school in the "International Students" category. The University has around 300 international students from 30 countries.
In this year's ranking of Asian universities, based on the QS fact file, Silliman placed 114 in terms of "International Students" and 229 in terms of "Academic Reputation". Its aggregate points pegged its overall Asian ranking at 301+.
Similar to all Philippine universities, except the University of the Philippines (UP), Silliman's ranking slid this year. In its media interviews, QS attributed this trend to the growing competitiveness of other higher education institutions in the neighboring countries.
Only the list of top 300 Asian universities appears on the QS website, www.topuniversities.com. There are only five Philippine universities that made it to the cut this year: UP (67), Ateneo de Manila University (109), University of Santo Tomas (150), De La Salle University (151-160 range), and University of Southeastern Philippines (251-300 range).

Faith Leaders: Tenants Will Not Be Pushed Out
Respect Tenants' Rights
New York City, April 7, 2016
Tenants living in buildings citywide owned by abusive landlord Steve Croman – named twice by the Village Voice as one of the 10 Worst Landlords in NYC – and who have suffered threats, harassment and illegal rent increases at his hand have enlisted powerful new allies in their fight for justice. These tenants who refuse to stand by while their families are displaced have won the support of 31 faith leaders from across the five boroughs and beyond to denounce this unjust treatment and bring about change. Faith leaders and tenants from Croman-owned buildings will deliver letters from the 31 faith leaders to Croman's office at 632 Broadway, 7th Fl (near Bleecker St.) on Thursday, April 7th at 1:30pm.
In their letters, the 31 faith leaders from a broad array of denominations – including Catholic priests, rabbis, Buddhists, and Lutheran, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, Methodist, Unitarian and Interfaith ministers – exhort Croman to "treat your tenants with dignity and respect rather than pressuring them to leave their homes."
This landlord's underhanded tactics include threats of jacking up rents by hundreds of dollars coupled with pressure to take buyouts. Tenants who reject buyout offers have received bogus leases with illegal rent increases, a blatant attempt at removing apartments from rent stabilization. Croman is also known for baseless court actions and hazardous and toxic demolitions and renovations, tactics aimed at driving out long-term tenants. Religious leaders argue that Croman's abuses and tactics will have long-lasting effects as they "are resulting in the loss of critical rent regulated housing, which has a devastating impact on our communities by destroying the ethnic diversity and character of them."
Croman is currently under investigation by the New York State Attorney General for his efforts to push rent-stabilized tenants out of their homes. Despite action by the Attorney General against Croman's "tenant relocation specialist," Anthony Falconite, well-known for harassing Croman's tenants, this individual is still operating and pressuring tenants in buildings across New York City.
East Harlem tenant, Esperanza Figueroa, a member of Movement for Justice in El Barrio, is one of many who have suffered Croman's intimidation attempts and abuse. When Esperanza went to Croman's office to pay her rent, staff demanded that she sign a "Surrender Agreement" saying she would give up her apartment. When she refused, Croman illegally jacked the rent up by $300 a month on her new lease. Esperanza refused to sign and joined together with her neighbors and tenants in other Croman buildings to defend their rights as tenants. Esperanza, along with other members of Movement for Justice in El Barrio and members of the Cooper Square Committee and are now joined in their efforts by a powerful grouping of faith leaders from multiple denominations and faiths reflecting the diverse backgrounds of tenants in Croman's over 185 buildings citywide. Figueroa says, "My family and I are staying in our home. This landlord is trying to scare us with threats, push us out of our community and sell it off to the highest bidder. With the support of priests, ministers, rabbis and other faith leaders, we're even stronger and we're not going anywhere."
George Tzannes, a tenant of 529 East 6th Street and a member of the Cooper Square Committee, who had been living without cooking gas in his building since December of 2014 (gas was just recently restored after a 15 month outage) said, "When Steven Croman bought the rent-regulated building where I've lived since 1974, the tenants immediately experienced aggravating rent billing errors, questionable legal fees, lost rent checks and baseless court actions. But the worst part is the way hazardous and toxic demolitions and renovations in vacant apartments push regulated tenants into buyouts. After years of living with toxic dust contamination from construction and enduring constant service cut-offs, anyone would want to leave."
These examples of Croman's abuse expose the landlord's true intentions: to force rent-stabilized tenants and their families from their homes, replacing them with people from outside their communities who can pay double and triple the rents, further contributing to gentrification in low-income neighborhoods. The 31 letters to Steven Croman end by saying "as the owner of over 185 buildings in New York City, you have a great responsibility to thousands of tenants and we implore you to take on this responsibility and respect the rights of your tenants".
Who: Faith leaders and tenants from Croman-owned buildings
What: Deliver 31 letters from faith leaders to landlord Steven Croman
When: Thursday, April 7th at 1:30pm
Where: Office of Steven Croman, 632 Broadway, 7th Fl (near Bleecker St)

For Immediate Release: December 10, 2015

CAAAV Organizing Asian Communities
"All We Want for Christmas is Safe Homes!" – 90 Elizabeth St. Tenants and Community Organizations Demand for Basic Building Services and Safe Construction Work
Seniors and Families with Children Are Living in Conditions That Are Hazardous to Their Health And Safety
December 10, 2015, New York, NY – After not having heat over Thanksgiving weekend, the tenants at 90 Elizabeth Street held a press conference today to demand their landlord, James Fong, consistently provide adequate building services and stop unsafe construction work.
The 90 Elizabeth Street Tenant Association has been established and working with CAAAV's Chinatown Tenants Union, Cooper Square Committee, and Asian Americans for Equality (AAFE) since 2013. Exactly four months ago (September 10, 2015), four tenants filed a housing court case against Mr. Fong, with the help of Manhattan Legal Services (MLS) and AAFE, to stop hazardous construction work and demand a tenant protection plan and repairs as the landlord has neglected building conditions not only in the common areas, but also inside individual apartments.
"We live as if we were animals while paying our rents and the owner fixes the empty units. These vacant units are fixed as if they were luxury apartments while the rent regulated apartments of those like me and my neighbors are not fixed as the law mandates," said Tomasa Davila, a 90 Elizabeth St. tenant of over 50 years.
The Tenant Harassment Prevention Task Force (THPT) confirmed the dire living conditions that tenants were facing at 90 Elizabeth Street when they conducted a building-wide sweep in July 2015, resulting in a Stop Work Order and multiple HPD violations. Demanding for more government supervision to ensure tenant safety, tenants and advocates marched to City Hall to support Council Member Reynoso's two bills for increasing fines for work without permits and the 12 bills advocated by the Stand for Tenant Safety Coalition.
Despite his claims to comply, Mr. Fong has presented tenants with an unfair proposal, which doesn't address the needs of our tenants to ensure that the repairs are conducted with their safety in mind. Tenants still have many issues such as insufficient heat, garbage disposal, dirty stairways that were covered in dust from the construction work, and exposed electrical wiring.
"Every renter is entitled to live in a safe, clean building with the services guaranteed by law – and being a landlord means undertaking the obligation to provide that," said Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer. "The conditions that tenants at 90 Elizabeth Street have been forced to endure are completely unacceptable. I stand with all Manhattan tenants fighting for basic services like heat, and will continue to do whatever I can to hold landlords who fail to meet their obligations accountable."
"For far too long, we have let immoral landlords get away with treating New Yorkers like second class citizens in their own homes," said Public Advocate Letitia James. "With groups like STS and CAAAV and tools like the Worst Landlords Watchlist, we are putting these bad landlords on notice and coming through on our promise to hold them accountable for forcing tenants to live in dangerous and unsanitary conditions "
"Construction work is no excuse for poor living conditions," said State Senator Daniel Squadron. "I join my colleagues, the 90 Elizabeth Street Tenants Association, Asian Americans for Equality, CAAAV, Cooper Square Committee, Urban Justice Center, SNYC and STS coalitions, advocates and community members in pushing for an end to unacceptable practices that are against the law and destroy people's homes."
City Council Member Margaret Chin said, "This is not just a housing issue, it's a human rights issue. For far too long, the tenants of 90 Elizabeth St. have suffered unbearable harassment at the hands not only of their current landlord, but the previous owner who refused to make necessary repairs. These residents have a right to live in peace in their homes without the constant fear of harassment and eviction. My office continues to fight harassment by helping provide free and low-cost legal services, organizing tenants, and pushing legislation to get the City to do more to protect residents. Currently, it is too easy for landlords to buy buildings with the intention of clearing them to make way for market-rate tenants. Together, we can solve our affordability crisis. But we cannot move forward without strong protections that preserve the affordable housing we have and keep people like the tenants of 90 Elizabeth in their homes."
"For far too long unscrupulous landlords throughout New York City have used construction as a means to harass tenants. The coalition Stand for Tenant Safety (STS) is excited to testify in support of Council Member Reynoso's two bills and proud to stand with the tenants of 90 Elizabeth Street on this issue. Int. 0939 and 0940 will increase the fines and penalties for doing work without a permit and for working against a Stop-Work-Order to punish bad landlords like James Fong, the landlord of 90 Elizabeth Street, who conduct aggressive, illegal construction at the expense of tenant safety. The terrible conditions that the tenants at 90 Elizabeth Street are facing demonstrate the urgency of passing all 12 of the STS bills into law this session," said Stand for Tenant Safety (STS), a coalition of community organizations and tenant advocates.
Christopher Kui, Executive Director of Asian Americans for Equality (AAFE), said, "AAFE is dedicated to stemming the tide of gentrification brought in by owners utilizing illegal construction tactics to displace working families, immigrants and seniors. No matter how long the fight, we are committed to ensuring that harassment tactics by predatory owners have no place in New York City. We are proud of the work we are doing in coalition with other community-based organizations and legal service providers in the Stand for Tenant Safety (STS) Campaign and Stabilizing NYC Coalition."
"CAAAV's Chinatown Tenants Union stands with the 90 Elizabeth Street Tenant Association today. Marolda Properties was the owner in 2013 and they sold the building to James Fong in June 2015 for $6,500,000 even though the building was assessed at $572,400. This is representative of predatory equity landlords who target long-standing immigrant, low-income communities for quick capital gains by forcing out rent control and rent stabilized tenants and converting vacant units into market rate units, often after reckless renovations. We will work endlessly with our communities to stop displacement and predatory equity," said Wai Yee Poon, Chinatown Tenants Union Organizer at CAAAV.

For the third and final year, summer X Games went down in Austin, Texas. As an official product sponsor, Braven was there to support the athletes and get behind the scenes in the action.
We kicked off day one at the Braven booth, where Team Braven skateboarder Tom Asta came by for a poster signing. Tom was one of only twelve skateboarders invited to compete in the Men's Street Skateboarding Finals on Saturday, and we were stoked to see how many of his fans came out to show their support.

The Athlete Welcome Center, where competitors from all disciplines come together under one roof to relax and fuel up.
All the athletes got hooked up with a Braven BRV-PRO, and a backpack from our friends at Incase.
Athletes, agents, friends and family all hanging out in the lounge. Snacks where complimentary from the sponsors; energy drinks, protein bars…and most importantly, tacos.
June weather in Texas can be hard to predict. One minute it was 80 degrees and sunny, the next, a complete downpour with thunder and lightning.
Rain doesn't mix well with skateboarding or BMX. The ramps get dangerously slick, you lose grip, and your equipment gets soggy and rusted. When the rain hit on Saturday afternoon, X Games staff urged everyone to find cover, and all events where put on hold, including Men's Street Skateboarding Finals. Then, just an hour later, the storm seemed to roll over, and the X Games crew pulled out squeegees, fans, and leaf blowers, quickly drying the street course before it was too late.
Thanks to the crew's quick work, the course was dry within minutes and the finals where called back on.
Team Braven Skateboarder Tom Asta came through in the finals with his signature consistent and smooth lines.

In one of the most eventful finishes in X Games history, Ryan Decenzo took home Gold, disrupting Nyjah Huston's four year dominance in Skate Street.
Decenzo floats backside. Photo: Trevor Brown
Aside from rain, the wind created an equally unfriendly environment for Big Air. Unfortunately, the weather never calmed enough for BMX or Skate Big Air Finals to go down, but we did get to stand on top of the Mega and witness a few practice runs. We imagine hitting this ramp feels like a roller coaster without the tracks.
On Saturday night, Pop punk legends Blink-182 rocked the arena. Their performance sounded like they haven't skipped a beat since '99 and the crowd went absolutely crazy.
Gold medals are great, but do they play music? We left Austin with our Limited Edition BRV-XXL covered in athlete signatures….now what should we do with this thing?
BIG thank you to the X Games staff, athletes, and fans who made this year so amazing. We love you Austin!

Stephen Metcalfe may be new to the young adult scene but he brings with him a ton of experience from his work on various stage and screen plays. His first novel, His Tragic Life, hits bookstores on March 3, 2015 and brings readers an authentic male character who devotedly observes the world around him and, at the same time, reacts to it in some of the oddest ways too. I've seen this book compared to the likes of Catcher in the Rye, and even Perks of Being a Wallflower, but I'm confident fans of Jason Myers and even Robyn Schneider will enjoy this quirky novel. It's full of moments that stabilize us but also the ones that pull us apart in unexpected, dark directions. It's honest, and heavy on the oh-man-I-can't-believe-that-happened side.
We're happy to welcome Stephen into the young adult world today with a Q&A about Billy, The Tragic Age star, his writing inspiration, and more.
Billy is such an observer but, even so, his tendency to be this way is all about burying his true feelings over his sister's death and all the changes in his family. How did you dive into writing about Billy? Did you know exactly how he would be dealing with all this tension in his life or did it develop as you were digging deeper into the story?
I started with a number of givens when I began writing Billy. I knew that he had, as he puts it, "a mind for useless information". Billy is a sponge for knowledge – he "likes knowing things". At the same time I knew that Billy's fixation on knowing things was also an escape. He uses books, newspapers, the internet, television and movies as a means of not dealing with everyday life. He uses facts to hold feelings at a distance. I wanted Billy to have an air of what I call "innocent cynicism". He's trying so hard to pretend he doesn't care about anything. The reality, of course, is that he cares far too much. I knew part of Billy's character arc would be that as the story progresses, he finds the burden of "not caring" more and more difficult to carry. And yes, while the voice was consistent from the beginning, the character changed and developed as the story progressed.
There's definitely something about the pacing of the book that feels like a classic literature tragedy. At some point, I was feeling so positive for Billy. Even if some of his actions were questionable, I was like "hooray he is finding his own happiness"… but well. You and I know how that all goes. Were there any particular books that inspired you (or helped you) in the writing of The Tragic Age?
I wanted very much to write a coming of age story along the lines of Salinger's A Catcher in the Rye, John Knowles' A Separate Peace and James Kirkwood's Good Times, Bad Times. All three books have young protagonists who learn and grow through adversity.
It was really great to read a book that was incredibly sex-positive and just doing its thing. Was this a concern when you decided you were writing YA or did you just decide to go with what was natural?
Frankly, it never occurred to me I was writing YA. It was St. Martin's Press that suggested that The Tragic Age would be best released as Young Adult and after discussing it and thinking about it, I agreed with them. Billy is a young adult. He is dealing with the challenges and uncertainties that have been the bane (and the wonder) of all of us when were young – friendship, sexuality, family, isolation, competition – the future.
What kind of books do you find yourself reading the most frequently?
I read a bit of everything. I have my stack of what I call "airplane reading" – this is the mostly mindless stuff you buy in airport books stores when you want to escape the tedium of plane travel. They don't take a lot of work and are usually a quick and (hopefully) enjoyable read. The other stack is the stuff that needs and warrants focus, concentration and contemplation. I eat them in mostly small bites, the better to enjoy and analyze the flavors. When I find a writer I like, I eventually try to read everything he's written. I read two newspapers every day and like Billy, if something intrigues me, I always want to learn more about it.
Thanks so much for taking the time, Stephen! Congrats on the book!
The Tragic Age by Stephen Metcalfe publishes on March 3, 2015 from St. Martin's Press.

Sharon Osbourne is certainly not shy when it comes to talking about her cosmetic surgery.
Sharon, wife of famous rocker, Ozzy Osbourne, was born in London, England on October 9, 1952.
She is the daughter of music manager, Don Arden. Sharon began working her way up in her father's footsteps by becoming his receptionist and later in promotions.
Don Arden was the manager of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath whose lead singer, Ozzy Osbourne, was kicked out of the band in 1979 for his wild antics and notorious drug use. Sharon then became Ozzy's manager causing a divide between her and her father for many years. The two were married in 1982 and have had quite a wild ride.
After many years and many personal marital issues the couple would embark in many successful business ventures. Sharon approached MTV about doing a reality show about life in the Osbourne home.
Later she became known as one of the judges on America's Got Talent and her newest venture is with the daytime show, The Talk.
Sharon Osbourne: What I've Had Done
Sharon has never been one to be shy about her celebrity plastic surgery. In fact, she is very open about it.
She has admitted to having gastric bypass surgery, a facelift, liposuction, breast reduction, breast augmentation and multiple other surgeries.
Sharon has openly talked about her bad plastic surgery experience on a breast implant procedure she ended up saying "I wish I'd never had my breasts done the last time…it's like a waterbed on your chest."
Sharon Osbourne Before & After Cosmetic Surgery
In an interview with Britain's Night And Day Magazine she stated:
"I had liposuction on my neck and had it lifted, too. I had my breasts lifted, my arms lipo-ed and my tummy tucked. I had my bum lifted and implants inserted. And I had my legs lifted. The total cost was 120,000GBP [$236,844] and it was worth every last penny. I love cosmetic surgery."
Sharon Osbourne has recently spoken out to the media stating:
"After losing half my body weight I had flesh hanging everywhere. So much needed doing that it couldn't have been done in one operation. I got to the point where I realized I was abusing, I wasn't respecting my body. I was chopping it, changing it, and it's like, hey, you've only got like one body and you have to respect your body. It's not a perfect solution with the gastric band, it's not all up sides – there's so many side effects and for some people it doesn't work at all."
There are celebrities that have had plastic surgery gone wrong. For example, Lisa Rinna is well known for her lips and recently undergone lip reduction surgery. Ali Lohan admitted to eye surgery following a car accident (see Ali Lohan and plastic surgery).
Sharon admits she has had a lot of plastic surgery and she has also been known to have a love/hate relationship with it.
Will Sharon Osbourne have more surgery?
According to her, if things "go South" she most certainly will. And you can be sure we'll all be hearing about it.

The next Women's Breakfast is on Saturday 29 September 2018 in St Nicolas Church Hall. No ticket necessary. Donations welcome.
Foundations is a group of Mums who meet weekly during term time in St Nicolas Upper Hall in order to encourage each other through the challenges of life we chat, study the Bible and pray together. Babies and pre-school children are welcome and a creche is available.
The women at St Nicolas also meet for one-off events such as craft evenings and 'coffee and chat' in people's homes. A women's weekend is also run occasionally, which is a good opportunity to spend more time together and grow in our faith in God.
