A Sussex wave from Japan
A Sussex artist is having his first show in the town since attending the Hastings School of Art 100 years ago. He was Eric Slater, and the idea for the exhibition, which also includes work by his friend Arthur Rigden Read, came to James Trollope when he was writing about Slater, as he explains.
The beautiful colour woodcuts of Eric Slater (1896-1963) will be on view at the Hastings Museum and Art Gallery from May 27 to September 3.
Between the wars Slater and his Winchelsea neighbour Arthur Rigden Read (1879-1955) mastered a Japanese method of colour printmaking which won them both international acclaim.
The exhibition, A Sussex Wave from Japan, will explain why they, along with a group of other artists, adopted Japanese printmaking techniques in the 1920s.
While Slater concentrated on the landscape of Sussex, Rigden Read was more interested in depicting members of the rural community who struggled to make a living in those harsh economic times.
Slater's Sussex
The idea for the show came to me when I was writing a book about Slater called Slater's Sussex. During my research, I discovered that Hastings Museum had been bequeathed a large collection of Rigden Read's work and thought it would be great to show the two friends' woodcuts side by side.
Over the past few years there has been a revival of interest in Slater thanks in part to his work being appraised on the Antiques Roadshow. Both artists had success in America before the Second World War but later fell out of fashion.
The show will also include work by Japanese masters Hokusai and Hiroshige whose famous prints were made in the same way as their lesser known Sussex followers.
A Sussex Wave from Japan: Woodcuts by Eric Slater and Arthur Rigden Read Hastings Museum and Art Gallery, John's Place, Bohemia Road, Hastings TN34 1ET. Saturday 27 May-Sunday 3 September (Tues-Sat 10am-5pm, Sun 12-5pm, Mon closed). Admission free.

The weather has turned really cold and I'd just had enough of having cold feet all the time so I went out and bought some slippers. I know shock horror buying something for myself?! Doesn't happen very often.
I love my new slippers, they are so warm and snuggly. Cold feet are now a thing of the past.

I'm going to go off on a rant here. It may be bizarre–it may be the most bizarre rant you've read all month–but make no mistake about it, it's a rant. Laugh at me if you must. In fact, it might be for the best if you do – for all of us.
So, menopause. You've all heard of it. Even if you're not there yet or you'll never be there, you probably know about the hot flashes. Some of you may have read or know first hand about the mood swings. The books all tell us about bouts of unexpected crying, of possible depression, and of flying into rages over the littlest things. But what about the laughter?
Laughter, you ask? I've never heard of a menopausal woman flying into a fit of laughter. Well guess what? Neither have I? So why am I ranting about it?
Imagine this scenario: You're trying to get your kid into bed but he's busy playing with the dog. You've been asking him to get into his pyjamas for fifteen solid minutes. You're trying to make his bed so he can actually get in it, you're frustrated, harried from a long day, tired, about to lose your cool, and suddenly the dog jumps on you and your kid starts giggling. And then completely out of the blue, despite the fact that you were just about to blow your stack, you start giggling with the kid. UGGHHH!!! Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to start laughing when you're trying to be mad?!?
And it keeps happening! Used to be when I was angry, I stayed angry. Wake me up six times through the night because you want to be covered up by me when you're perfectly capable of doing it yourself, I'm going to be damned mad! I've got to get up in an hour, and I've only slept for 45 minutes all night! But now? By the sixth time I'm snickering and wondering if I'm ready for the funny farm!!
The only reason I can think of for this new bout of hilarity is menopause. Why didn't anyone tell me it would be like this!!!???!!!
Is it just me? Is that why? If not, let's discuss this well-kept secret so everyone can have it to look forward to, along with the damned hot flashes!

AU: There are going to be four parts to this...I believe...don't forget to review!
Remus, Sirius, and Peter sat on their friends couch, waiting for them to come back downstairs. Sirius was biting his lip, trying not to laugh when he heard Harry crying again. Remus was also holding back a humor-filled smile. Peter, on the other hand, was just giving a shaky smile, like he was too nervous to be amused.
"Maybe one of us should go check on them." Remus suggested. "It's been almost forty minutes since they went to put Harry to bed."
Suddenly, Harry stopped crying and they heard the floor creak as James and Lily started to leave the nursery, but then Harry started crying again. Remus heard the floor creak again as his parents rushed back to his side to calm him down. Sirius burst out laughing. "If they keep this up, they'll never step out of the nursery." He said.
Remus stood up. "That's it. I'm going to get them. They really need to learn to let Harry cry himself to sleep." He left the living room and headed up to the nursery.
He found James and Lily looking down at Harry in his crib. They would both talking to him quietly.
"Come on, Harry. You need to sleep, son." James was saying.
Remus sighed and walked over. He grabbed both of their arms and started to pull them out of the room. Thank goodness for this werewolf strength or James would have flung his hand away. Harry started crying again. "Come on, you two. You're going have to learn to let Harry cry himself to sleep." He explained.
James grumbled. "I can't stand it when he cries." He took one last look at his son before Remus closed the door. "Moooonnnyy!" James whined. They can hear Harry's loud cries coming from behind the door. Remus made sure to station himself in front of the door before he let go of his friend's arms.
Lily laid a calm hand on James's upper arm. "No, no, Remus is right, dear. I've read that most parents had to do the same exact thing. It's normal." She seemed to be trying to convince herself as well as her husband. "Normal." She repeated to herself nervously.
Remus chuckled and gently pushed his two friends towards the stairs. "Let's go. Sirius has been dying to tell us about that date he had last night."
Harry cried for an hour before falling asleep, much to his parents discomfort.
A few nights later found Lily rocking softly in the rocking chair, staring tenderly at the small child in her arms. It was well past his bedtime and her husband and herself couldn't get Harry to sleep. He was keeping them both up all night.
Without thinking about it, Lily started to hum a familiar tone. She barely noticed when her son, her Harry, stopped cooing at her when he heard the sound. He stared up at her with huge green eyes and Lily suddenly had a thought. She opened her mouth and began singing softly the words. "Love me tender, love me sweet, never let me go. You have made my life complete and I love you so." She sang truthfully. "Love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfilled. For my darlin' I love you, and I always will." She watched as her son's eyes began to close with a loving smile on her face. "Love me tender, love me long, take me to your heart. For it's there that I belong, and we'll never part." She paused in her lullaby to kiss her child on his forehead. "Love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfilled. For my darlin' I love you, and I always will." She continued to sing. "Love me tender, love me dear. Tell me you are mine. I'll be yours through all the years, till the end of time." She looked up and saw her husband leaning against the doorframe to the nursery. He had a smile on his face as he looked upon his little family. "Love me tender, love me true." She sang looking down at her sleeping boy again. She sensed her husband walk to them and looked back up at him. He knelt down in front of the rocking chair and gazed lovingly at his son. "All my dreams fulfilled. For my darlin' I love you." She watched as James brushed back a dark lock of hair from his son's face. "And I always will." She finished singing.
They both stared at their sleeping son for a peaceful moment. "You did it, love." James whispered quietly, not wanting to wake up Harry. "You got him to sleep. We'll have to remember that for next time."
Lily smiled at him before standing up, carefully, trying not to jerk Harry awake. "I guess I just have a magical voice." She placed Harry down in the crib.
James came up behind her and wrapped an arm around her waist. She leaned her head against his shoulders. "You sure do, my flower." He whispered lovingly into her temple before giving her a gentle kiss there.
The next morning found all the Maunders over for breakfast. Remus sat at the round kitchen table between Sirius and Harry's high chair. Sirius was sitting next to Peter and James was currently upstairs getting Harry ready for the day; bathing him and changing him. Lily was banging pans around, looking for her skillet to make pancakes. Remus had offered to help look several times, but was shot down.
The kitchen was the only part of the house that was fully muggle. Lily did not allow any magic in her kitchen. She prefer to cook and do dishes the muggle way. She had a small portable radio sitting on the counter; the reason the kitchen was fully muggle. She loved listening to music as she worked. But if someone did magic in the kitchen, it would screw up the radio. Muggle technology didn't work around magic. She would get furious when someone would use magic. Sirius done it before and he was unable to sit for a week.
"Did you three sleep in this morning?" Sirius asked, realizing Harry was usually dressed and sitting in his chair by the time they get there and it was usually Lily who got him ready for the day.
Lily, finally finding the skillet, turned to face the three men. She waved the spatula at them and glared. "Your best friend is why we are getting a late start this morning. He didn't do as he was told. Two o'clock in the morning, I found him playing with his son instead of putting him back to bed!"
The two of them finally went to bed, but two and a half hours later, James woke up to the sound of his son crying. He groaned and his wife turned in her sleep and wacked him in the shoulders. "Your turn." She said, sleepily.
"I know." He said, rolling out of bed. He put on his slippers and robe with a yawn and stumbled out of the room.
Lily was unable to sleep without her husband by her side. She waited…and waited…and waited for him to come back. She couldn't hear Harry crying anymore, but she also couldn't hear her husband either. She got out of bed and grabbed her wand, worried something happened. It wasn't until she stepped out of her bedroom that she heard her child giggling. Confused, but now knew there wasn't a threat, Lily lowered her wand and made her way to the nursery. She can see the light coming from the crack under the door. The door was cracked opened, allowing Lily to peak in without being seen. She groaned at the scene, not really surprised.
James was sitting on the ground with a small pile of Harry's stuff animals around him. He held a stag in one hand and a black dog in the other. He was making some sort of animal noise and making the animals dance. Harry was sitting before him, his back towards the door. He was wildly giggling. He burst out laughing when James made the stag's nose bump Harry's nose.
Lily put on a stern face and pushed the door open farther. She leaned against the doorway and folded her arms. Both, father and son, looked up at her. James gave her a sheepish smile and Harry giggled at her, wide awake and happy. "James, you were supposed to be putting Harry back to bed, not entertaining him. It's two o'clock in the morning for Merlin's sake!" She snapped. She couldn't help it. She was exhausted and wanted to sleep.
"I had to wait another half an hour before James joined me back in bed!" She said, as soon as her husband came into the kitchen with Harry in his arms. He grimaced at the glare his wife threw him.
He set Harry down in his high chair before taking a seat next Peter, leaving the seat next to Harry's high chair open for Lily. "Told you guys about last night, huh?" His friends laughed at him. "I couldn't help it!" He tried to defend his actions. "Harry was crying and he wanted his stuff animals and one thing led to another!"
"James, shut it while you are ahead." Remus warned before laughing.

Barack Obama delivers nuclear weapons and $150 billion to America's mortal enemy in the Middle East – and every Democrat to a man and woman defends his betrayal; Hillary Clinton violates the Espionage Act and delivers classified secrets, including information on an impending drone attack, to America's enemies – and every Democrat to a man and woman defends her. Obama and Clinton lie about matters of war and peace – and every progressive publicly swears they are telling the truth.
But when Donald Trump insinuates the president is a man of uncertain loyalties, Republican leaders back away from him. When Trump proposes fighting "radical Islam," securing America's borders, stopping unvetted immigration from Muslim terrorist states, surveilling mosques, and scrutinizing the families of terrorist actors, Republicans join Democrats in denouncing him, or take an uncomfortable distance or maintain a silence that leaves him to fend for himself.

Unfortunately, duty usually calls, and I have to get out of bed.
Therefore, my goal when purchasing health and beauty products is to find things that make the process of getting up and dressed somewhat less painful.
Olay Regenerist Thermal Skin Polisher is one such product. It's supposed to gently exfoliate the face with a combination of fruit acids and microbeads.
According to the blather on the drugstore.com website:
Sounds impressive, doesn't it? And the reviews on drugstore.com make this stuff sound like a miracle worker.
Olay Regenerist™ Thermal Skin Polisher regenerates skin's appearance for a beautifully polished texture and renewed vibrancy... achieve professional mini-peel results after 10 days. The key to this breakthrough experience is a water activated self-heating formula that deeply warms skin to relax pores. The gentle micro-crystal formula then polishes away dry skin cells, revealing new skin after rinsing. The formula also contains glycolic acid, a key ingredient used in professional mini-peel treatments.
But actually, my skin is pretty good, and it's generally reliable enough so that I don't notice all that much difference between product and another. So I like this stuff because it heats up when you rub it on your face, and it smells like apple pie. In my usual state of winter morning brain fog, it's easy to convince myself that I'm in an apple orchard lying in the hot sun getting a hot applesauce facial from Antonio Banderas.
And if that isn't a reason to get out of bed in the morning, I don't know what is.

Also, don't forget to enter my giveaway! It goes until the first of the year.
I read Maybe In Another Life this year and thought it was really good. I would definitely read another of her books!ReplyDelete
Greg, you really should! I have read all her books except one (and that's only because I can't handle that level of emotion right now) and I have loved all of them. Maybe in another life is still my favorite, but she's pretty amazing with all of her books.Delete
So many great books! V.E. Schwab is one of my favorite authors, and J.K. Rowling too, of course. Great list, and thanks for sharing! :)
Here's my TTT
Thanks Petra! I really can't believe I just discovered Harry Potter this year. CRAZY!Delete
yesss TO VE SCHWAB WHO IS SO ABSOLUTELY MARVELLOUS AND FLAWLESS. *flings confetti in the air* I'm so glad you tried her books and loved them! I also adore Marie Rutkoski and and Robin Benway. And omg why haven't I read Wolf by Wolf yet. What am I doing with my life. XD Here's my TTT!ReplyDelete
Cait, and I just finished another book by Schwab: A Darker Shade of Magic. It was SO GOOD!! I am officially in love with her. You NEED to read Wolf by Wolf. And the sequel is JUST AS GOOD. How often does that happen?Delete
Kim Holden and TJR ♥ I love them both. I really loved Emmy & Oliver and can't wait fro more from her. Great list!!ReplyDelete
Thanks Grace! And you were the one who introduced me to both of those authors. :)Delete
Yes, I love V.E. Schwab and Marie Rutkoski, they're on my list too! Wolf by Wolf and Emmy & Oliver are on my TBR list, I hope to get to them soon :)ReplyDelete
Lindsey, Wolf by Wolf (and its sequel) is SO FREAKING GOOD! I hope you get to it soon. It may be one of my favorites of the year.Delete
YAY, V.E. Schwab is so so great and I really want to get to Wolf by Wolf soon!
Here is my TTT!
I really, really hope you do! It's such a great book. :)Delete
I just wanted to thank you for an older post about culling your TBR. When I first read it, I thought why would I even do that having a giant list really isn't hurting me? But then I guess I thought about it and really dug into my list (which is hundreds of books long spanning 5 or so years) and researched the books there and removed the ones that I didn't really want to read and those that my state library system didn't have (because I'll never buy a book) and since it's years old it will never get ordered if it hasn't already. I'm not done but I have the beginnings of a manageable list and have knocked out some of the earlier TBR list and have loved those books. Thank you!!!!ReplyDelete
Oh wow CT, I love hearing that! Seriously, that makes my day. I am so glad that one of my posts helped you. I know that on the surface, a TBR with books you don't even own doesn't seem to make much of a difference to you. But it can feel like so much pressure (to me anyway). So glad to hear that your list is much more manageable!Delete
I have hyet to read any of the authors on your list!!
Here's a link to my TTT post for this week: https://captivatedreader.blogspot.com/2016/12/top-ten-tuesday-top-ten-new-to-me.html?showComment=1481051250703#c1172297993412473813
I hope you read some of them soon!Delete
Hooray for Taylor Jenkins Reid and Jennifer Mathieu. I enjoyed all of those books as well.ReplyDelete
Kate, I love those women. So glad you do too!Delete
TJ Reid seems to be in everybody's list this week! She's a new one to me as well. :) I can't wait to read the rest of her books.ReplyDelete
Joyous Reads, I have read all of her books except one and I love them all. I am sure you will too!Delete
Book twinges - I read V.E. Schwa and Emma Donoghue for the first time this year too. I have no idea why I waited so long to read Room, I absolutely loved it! Happy to hear that you enjoyed her book as well!ReplyDelete
Ahhh, me too!! I had Room on my Kindle FOREVER before I finally read it!! I can't believe it took me so long, but I am so glad I finally read it.Delete

Hi there,
I need help! Will i be happy with Opus 1 or Eastwest Gold?
I know ideally i could use them both, but $$. step at a time!
I am a producer who wants to inverst in a library for film and other projects such as pop/adult contemorary albums etc. I have read a lot stuff about VSL being incedible but not necissarily dynamic or very "hollywood" like the eastwest is.
My priority is film music moreso than pop/rock production
My primary need with the library is flexibility
My primary orcherstral family is Strings. (used most)
Opus 1 or Gold? (looked into SI and Garritan, but not interested)

Break Even Analysis
University of Phoenix
Contribution Margin and Breakeven Analysis Simulation
Maria Villanueva, the Chief Financial Officer of Aunt Connie's Cookies, must make several decisions in the "Contribution Margin and Breakeven Analysis" Simulation in order to maintain the success of the company. These decisions involve applying the concept of both contribution margin and breakeven analysis to make the best decision for the company. When evaluating the financial position of the company, Maria must analyze the contribution margins of the products supplied by Aunt Connie's Cookies to determine the direction of the company. Maria must also evaluate the breakeven point of the company when making a decision on whether or not to purchase another company. According to Marshall, McManus and Viele, the contribution margin is defined as the contribution to fixed expenses and operating income from the sale of product or provision of service (2004). While the breakeven point for a company is defined as the point of revenue in which there is no profit or loss for the company. Both of these concepts will help Maria make the best decisions for the company during the course of the simulation. When applied to a business, the concepts of contribution margin and breakeven analysis can assist a company in making the best decision for a company to stay ahead financially. When using the concept of contribution analysis, Maria can determine whether or not to accept the bulk order of cookies. In the "Contribution Margin and Breakeven Analysis" Simulation, Maria must understand that according to the contribution margin the company will benefit by producing the most profitable product (UOP Simulation, 2006). For Aunt Connie's Cookies, the most profitable product is its lemon crème cookies. By producing more of the lemon crème cookies, Maria can expect an increase in the company's profits. Since the lemon crème cookies...

Gun Counter Fables:
It's me again everyone. You're favorite college student, coating specialist, and merchant of death. That's right, I have a day job, and guess what it is? It's to sell guns for a certain large box store to members of the public. Yeah, I'm that guy you love to complain about. You know, the friendly local gun store employee who doesn't know anything about guns, is rude as hell, or sold you the wrong gun. Well I've been doing this for a few months now and I've seen what it's like on the other side of the glass counter now. And quite frankly it has to be said that dealing with the public is no peach either. So we're going to do something a bit different today. Instead of you complaining about me, I'm going to share some of my experiences with you. And no, that's not the picture of where I work at the top.
Let me start this off by saying that I work for a big box store. I will not name which one and where. Some people might be able to figure out but I'm going to take a policy of deliberate ambiguity on it. Anyways I do a huge volume in sales every day, and right now is our busy season. Not only that, but our busiest days Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. You know, those days everyone has off? So right now when I'm writing this it's still a few days before Christmas. Not only that but we're still feeling the effects of our oh so lovely president, best gun salesman for going on 8 years now, has opened his mouth to pontificate at us about how he knows best when it comes to guns. Busy as a one-armed paper hanger doesn't even begin to cover it.
Busy Times Behind the Gun Counter
To illustrate how busy we are right now, when I started at this company more than 6 months ago we were at our nadir of sales for the year. Even still we'd sell about 30 guns a day. Right now at our zenith of sales for the year we are going about three times as many in just handguns alone and about the same number in rifles. That's 180 guns a day sold on average. That doesn't include delays or denies. Depending on staffing levels we could have between 1 and 3 people on hand to work the forms and ring out your guns and all the other sundries you are buying too. Each form requires us to input information, and company policy has us have one of our coworkers check over our forms to make sure there are no mistakes. All of this takes time, and it will take even more time for you to get done if you are not the first person in line.
We've kind of eliminated some of the sloppy as hell handwriting problem by getting a variance from the ATF in our forms and we can now do them on a computer, and send the forms in electronically. This saves time and aggravation for everyone involved. Especially you with your sloppy ass hand writing because you're in such a rush to just deal with this form. That's right, if you're filling out a hand form take your sweet time and fill it out as neatly as you can manage because if it's unreadable I'm not going to process it because the ATF will chew my ass for it and use it as a strike against me. You're not putting my job at risk because of your sloppy hand writing.
Alright so now that I've illustrated at least somewhat what it's like on my side of the counter, I'm going to regale you with stories that I've personally had happen to me.
This is a form 4473: https://www.atf.gov/file/61446/download
When buying a gun from me at work I'm required by federal and state laws to have you fill out this form. Take a look at questions 11 b through 11 L. One question I always get is "do people really answer yes to these questions?" If I had a dollar for every time I was asked that…. Anyways the blunt answer to you is yes, I have had every single one of those questions answered yes. Not necessarily in the same form. One of my favorite is question 11 d "Are you a fugitive from justice?" Yeah I've had that. We've come to my first two stories.
Mugshots for Photo ID?!
The law requires valid photo identification for a gun sale. During one not too busy day I had a gentlemen come up to me because he had a question about buying a gun. This award winning member of society asked me point blank the following: "Is a copy of my mugshots valid photo ID for buying a gun?" I gave him my "Are you bullshitting me or are you actually serious?" look and asked him if he was serious. He was. I told him point blank that no way in hell were mugshots acceptable photo ID, and that he should just get out because there was no way I was selling him a gun.
America's Most Wanted
Another story to share is one from a few months ago. I fat fingered a key on my keyboard and instead of having the form sent in through the e-check system I ended up having to call it in. This can be a laborious task and time intensive. I told the customer I was sorry about my mistake, and it'll probably take a little while longer than normal for me to get it done. So I go back into our vault to make the phone call to the FBI NICS hotline. After passing the info to the lovely person on the other side, they told me to hold because it needed further review. After waiting about 5 minutes on hold for the next person I finally get one. After a few seconds of review the person says to me "Sir I need you to listen to instructions very carefully. I need you to keep that person in your location as long as possible. I'm contacting local authorities and having them dispatched immediately." Every single warning bell goes off in my head at this.
We use radios to communicate between employees of the store, as well as a few select codes, and after I get off the phone with this person I am immediately calling over the radio for my manager on duty, and I am essentially using one of our special codes that basically means "I NEED THE MANAGER TO STOP WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING AND PAY EXCLUSIVE ATTENTION TO ME BECAUSE WHAT I HAVE TO SAY IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AND TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!" I call them at their private extension on the phone and give them the run down. I'm not going to have the whole store hear this because it might tip him off. I tell them that we need our guy in the security room to immediately focus exclusively on this guy and keep track of him, police are on the way. Everything needs to appear normal though, so I'm going to go back there and distract this customer.
I get out of the vault and rejoin my coworkers and quickly make up a story about the NICS system crashing right as I was on the phone with them, and they need a few minutes to restart and they will call me back as soon as they are up again. So I do my absolute best to bullshit for a while and get this guy to focus on me. Within about 7 minutes I see them sharking their way through the store. Cops with serious faces. Within a few seconds of me seeing them, there are four cops taking this guy down after coming from multiple directions. He never stood a chance and he was hauled by four men out of the store.
Turns out there were a number of warrants out for this guy. They'd been looking for him for a while, and he was stupid enough to put his real information down on the form. That's just two examples of the stuff I could have to deal with on any given day. Stay tuned for such amazing stories like "The Stinkyman" and other great hits like "Racist old guy."

Makaton is a language programme which uses signs and symbols and is used to support spoken language. The signs and symbols are used with speech and in spoken word order which is different to British Sign Language.
Freedom Care recognises how beneficial Makaton can be for people who experience difficulties with being able to communicate effectively. Our service users can all experience communication difficulties, this may be because they non verbal, have limited or unclear speech or have a good vocabulary but problems with processing information. Makaton is flexible and can be tailored to the unique needs of our service users and can support them in a range of ways, to include:
We decided earlier this year, that our service users would benefit from using Makaton to support theirs and our verbal communication. We put an advert out internally for our current staff team to apply for the position of in house trainer for Makaton.
Staff who applied for this role were committing themselves to several training dates throughout 2015 and 2016 to become a qualified Makaton Trainer. The successful candidate would also be responsible for setting up resources and systems for the use of Makaton, promoting the use of Makaton throughout the group in addition to scheduling and delivering training to the staff team.
We interviewed staff by asking them to do a presentation about Makaton and how this could be used to enhance the lives of our service users. Although we initially felt we would fund one person to complete the training, it became apparent when the presentations were delivered that this would be a difficult decision to make. We ended up giving two staff members the role as they brought different skills and qualities to the role.
Tim Duffy and Ste Hardy have recently completed their initial 2 days training introducing them to Makaton. They are busy working with management to look at how we integrate their learning into the company and how best to support service users through the use of Makaton. In 2016 they will complete their further training, which means we will then have 2 fully qualified Makaton trainers employed by the company.
We are really excited about supporting our service users in a way which will only enhance their communication and interaction with others. Watch this space and we will keep you updated as we progress!

You know the old adage, "Dress for the job you want, not the job you have"? No? Well, learn it well.
Also at the same time, don't do this.
Jokes apart. Lets see how should one dress up properly for interview.
The appropriate interview attire depends on the industry in which you'll be interviewing as well as the geographical location and time of year. Over the time dressing code has been changed from formals to casuals as more and more companies are shifting from formal attires ( trousers, leather shoes and tie) to casual (jean and t-shirt). Spend some time researching the company. What is the work culture there etc and dress appropriately.
Ask you seniors or placement officers about their past experience.
If you are still unsure what to wear, feel free to drop a mail to HR of the company. If still in doubt, better be little overdressed rather than being a little casual.
Make sure your clothes are properly ironed and wrinkle free. Use a light deodorant. Make sure not to use very strong perfume. Do not wear too much jewelry or make up.
Do's and don'ts of dressing for interview:
- Clothes should be according to the weather. Do not wear jackets in summers.
- Dress should be washed, cleaned and properly ironed.
- Do not wear too tight or too loose clothes.
- Avoid loud colors or flashy ties.
- Make sure your hairs are trimmed and beard is properly groomed.
- Fresh breath. Do not smoke before going for interview. If you must release the tension, use mouth-freshener and deodorant afterwards.
- Shoes are the most important thing. Belt and shoe color should match. Socks should be of matching color too.
- Shoes should be polished and should not make loud sound while walking. Good shoes are key to confidence. I strongly recommend to invest in a pair of shoes.
- Do not close tie button if not wearing a tie. Also do not open too many buttons.
- Unroll sleeves and button them.
- Do not forget to carry a handkerchief.As old saying goes: 'perception is reality'. Think about the image you want to project during you interview and then choose an outfit that will create a positive perception.
That's all from our side. Feel free to suggest anything. Comment in case of any doubt.
Good shoes are the key to great confidence. Wear formal shoes for the interview which are comfortable and does not make loud sound while walking.

Healthcare and medical care
Malaysia has a public and a private healthcare system. Travellers should use private healthcare, as the public services are used only by the local inhabitants. In large towns there are sufficient healthcare services, which employ doctors who speak English too. Outside large towns, the availability of health services varies.
When travelling to Malaysia, you should take out comprehensive travel insurance. Doctors and hospitals often require cash payment in advance, and credit cards are seldom accepted as means of payment. Keep all receipts and certificates you receive. You can seek reimbursement retrospectively from your insurance company.
A visit to a general practitioner costs at least MYR 15. The minimum cost of an appointment with a specialist is MYR 60. The prices are based on the Malaysian Private Healthcare Facilities Act and Services Act, but you should check more specific information when you arrive. For example, you may have to pay extra fees for procedures carried out by a doctor. Be vigilant when you use private medical services. Doctors may prescribe expensive, unnecessary treatments and medicines. This applies particularly to travellers.
In some Malaysian tourist resorts you can enquire about doctors from your hotel´s reception desk. For example, in Langkawi there is an international hospital with doctors on call 24 hours a day. In Kuala Lumpur, there are a number of public and private hospitals. Specialist services are available in Kuala Lumpur, for example, at the Gleneagles Intan Medical Centre and the Prince Court Medical Centre. Decompression chamber treatment is available in Kuantan, Lumut, Ipoh, Sabah and Labuan.
You will usually receive medicines directly from the doctor.

We may see some modest weakness in the Nikkei 225, but the Japanese index has gained for the past six weeks in a row. As we know at this time of year, it can be tough to short these markets when the underlying trends are just so powerful.
The leads from Wall Street are lacklustre, with the S&P 500 falling a mere 0.2%, but the losses were seen more substantially in the financial and, to a lesser extent, material spaces. However, whether this filters through to weakness on Aussie financials is yet to be seen. It has become quite apparent that inflation expectations have started to roll over, with US five-year inflation expectations falling five basis points (bp) on Friday to 1.97%. Some of the wind has come out of the selling in US fixed income, but the idea that 'real' (ie. inflation-adjusted bond yields) have increased from -43bp to currently sit at +23bp is starting to be seen as a strong headwind for further equity appreciation. High 'real' bond yields are a genuine tightening of financial conditions.
The USD index has gained for eight of the past eleven weeks, helped by a sizeable increase in the yield premium demanded to hold US treasuries over German bunds and Japanese government bonds. We can take the US/German ten-year bond spread, which at 222 basis points is the widest premium (in favour of the US) since 1999. It's no wonder we have EUR/USD closing below the $1.1500 to $1.0500 range that it's been in since the beginning of 2015. Parity calls are now deafening; it is a concern that everyone is a USD bull here and there is no greater consensus trade for 2017 than being long the dollar.
AUD/USD is also on the radar, with the exchange rate closing out Friday below the 21 November pivot low of $0.7310 and the lowest levels since June. Falls in bulks on Friday are probably not helping, with steel, iron ore and coking coal futures falling 2.8%, 3.9% and 0.4% respectively.
We are now hearing that St Louis Federal Reserve (Fed) President James Bullard has opened a can of worms by starting a discussion that the Fed should allow its $4.5 trillion balance sheet to shrink in 2017. This view seems earlier than most have expected and by allowing the bonds on its balance to mature, without rolling them over and re-investing the proceeds here, would limit the need to raise interest rates three times in 2017. However, the combination of a balance sheet contraction (at a time when the European Central Bank and Bank of Japan are still rapidly increasing their balance sheets through quantitative easing) makes it hard to be anything else other than a USD bull.
We need to ask whether the moves in the USD, driven by higher 'real' bond yields, actually start to hurt the US equity markets and become a major headwind not just for emerging markets but the US economy?
This is a question for 2017 as trend and momentum are currently spurring on buyers and we all know this is one of the strongest times of year for most equity markets, including the ASX 200. There will be some focus this week on the Australian Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook, with Scott Morrison handing down his budget update and some belief that we could see a response from any one of the three main credit agencies. I am personally sceptical of a near-term downgrade but sit in the camp that it shouldn't affect economics in any real way over the medium-term even if we saw a downgrade, although most economists would suggest this forecast is tough to predict.
The ADRs (American Depository Receipt) of BHP, CBA and WPL are largely unchanged, but given the likely buying in Aussie fixed income, one suspects it will be a day to be long REITS and higher yielding equities, with some buying in oil stocks.

information pending
Elder Curer
Born to Russetburr and Firestone, the young Ravenkit was a peculiar kitten of ShadowClan. She had quite a unique appearance- a tuxedo feline, with icy blue eyes, and a single black stripe on her nose. Her scent is one of pine, mint, and quite strangely, herbs That was because she was attracted to herbs, just as her aunt, Songfeather was. Not that she knew that they were related, but she often visited the older medicine cat in her den...but that changed. As time passed, she was pulled into the influence of the Dark Forest as an apprentice, fascinated by gore and blood. As a warrior, Ravenheart had made the choice to leave for the gangs, as she was framed for many murders within the Clan. Strangely, none of them were committed by her. As a Gang cat, the feline known as Renegade's Revenge was a ruthless killer, but she wasn't loyal to the new leader. When it came to the time that they decided to betray the leader, she had struck the 'killing blows', before running off, ashamed of what she had done. Running across the reforming DarkClan, she knew that...she had found her new home. Finding that the 'renegade' inside her had vanished, she reclaimed her name of Raven's Heart, and this feline sees DarkClan as her final destination.
Parents: Russetburr, Firestone
Sister: Avalanche
Aunts: Songfeather, Pinekit, Applekit
Grandparents: Cherryheart, Greenheart
"I'm no longer the renegade I was...I just...want to find a home...and my purpose"
