Sea Haven Beach House was completely renovated in February 2018 and shows as a tastefully-decorated new construction. This private beachfront, completely-furnished home has 2 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms, laundry, private pool, 2 palapas and a pier. It's comfortable for a family of 4-6 or two couples, each with their own bedroom and bath.
The home is raised off the ground, and a large staircase leads to the front door from the road/private parking. The main living area consists of a fully-stocked kitchen with granite counter tops and new stainless appliances, a dining area with seating for 6, living area with a queen-sized sofa sleeper and love seat and flat-panel television, and a half bath with stacked washer/dryer. Beautiful Belizean hardwood cabinets and tiled floors are located throughout. The rooms are cooled with air-conditioning units and ceiling fans. Floor-to-ceiling patio doors lead to a tiled veranda off the main living area that overlooks the pool/yard and offers unobstructed views of the Caribbean Sea. No better place to watch a sunrise.
A tiled staircase leads to the second level consisting of two bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom. One bedroom has a king bed with a dresser, closet, flat-panel television, and a full bathroom with shower. The second bedroom has a queen-sized bed, dresser, closet, flat-panel television, and a full bathroom with shower. Both bathrooms have granite counter tops, and both bedrooms have air conditioning and share an east-facing veranda for breathtaking sunrises and stunning views of the sea.
On the beach, the above-ground pool has a shallow area for getting your toes wet (1 foot deep), soaking area (4 feet deep), and a small pool deck for sunbathing. A palapa in the yard next to the pool has a table/chairs - a nice location to eat a meal or gather together. The pier with ladder makes accessing the sea possible or maybe enjoy the sea breeze under the palapa at the end of the pier.
The house rents with 2 paddle boards and life vests for either adults or children.
Although there are other homes in the area, the property is fairly secluded being 5 miles south of San Pedro Town. Because of its distance from town, we recommend renting a golf cart (about a 30-minute golf cart ride). A taxi can be called and will cost approximately $30 USD one way. Ask us about our service to provision the home with groceries prior to your arrival for convenience.

Anorectal Manometry
Anorectal manometry is a diagnostic test performed to evaluate patients with symptoms such as constipation and fecal incontinence.
Measurements of resting pressures, pressures generated by the anal sphincters (IAS/EAS), along with recording the sensation volumes in the rectum, are useful in determining the cause of fecal incontinence when it is suspected that surgery or disease has injured the nerves or muscles in the anus, or when diabetes may have resulted in impaired sensation in the rectum.
LABORIE is passionate about bringing freedom and dignity to patients suffering from pelvic floor disorders through innovation in diagnostic and treatment options. We work with leading clinician-researchers and local universities to incorporate the most recent advancements and technical knowledge into our products while reflecting practical realities of the typical clinic.

A woman has been arrested after an abusive note was left on an ambulance demanding it be moved from the space where it had been parked.
The handwritten note was left on an ambulance in Tunstall, Staffordshire, as paramedics attended an emergency callout.

It read: "If this van is for anyone but Number 14 then you have no right to be parked here.

"I couldn't give a s*** if the whole street collapsed. Now move your van from outside my house."
A photograph of the message was shared on Twitter by paramedic mentor Katie Tudor, who said: "So upset to be sent this by one of our crews this morning".
Ms Tudor, who copied the police into her message, went on to say the vehicle was not blocking the road and had been left in a parking space.
She added the crew which was left the note also received "a load of verbal abuse". Staffordshire Police Chief Inspector John Owen later confirmed a 26-year-old woman had been arrested.
In a post on Twitter, he said: "We have arrested a 26 year old female for public order offences.

Dad Friendly Strollers Height Adjustable Stroller Handles Ergonomic Parenting Stoller Back Pain
With more and more daddies taking on the role of primary caregiver for their tots, baby gear manufacturers are starting to listen to what dads need and want. Thank goodness. Daddies' aching shoulders, necks, and backs deserve a break from all the hunching over they do when pushing strollers.
– Oh, My Aching Back –
Inherently taller in stature than many mommies, daddies have long struggled to find strollers that are easy to maneuver while still allowing them to stand up straight. According to SpineUniverse (www.spineuniverse.com), whose goal is to help patients and their families understand their back or neck problems, poor posture is one of the leading causes of recurrent neck and back pain.
Daddies (and tall mommies) who slouch, or hunch over, to push a stroller, are reversing the natural curve of their spines. In fact, a SpineUniverse article entitled "How You Can Prevent Back and Neck Pain" (http://www.spineuniverse.com/displayarticle.php/article1985.html) says, "Prolonged slouching can cause damage to spinal tissues. Over the years, repetitive poor posture can cause discomfort, pain, and conditions that may lead to the need for surgery." For tall parents who may have already begun feeling the affects of poor stroller pushing posture, SpineUniverse offers tips for changing posture habits as well as stretches and exercises to alleviate pain.
– Ergonomic Daddies –
Pampers offers some "how to push the stroller" suggestions on its web site (http://www.pampers.com/en_US/learning/page/tpc_article_details/topicId/201/type/101/contentId/17640/stageId/105.do), noting that proper form is the best way to avoid injury as well as gain strength, and identifying elbow locking and hunching over as the two most common postural mistakes.
And, Urbanbaby (www.urbanbaby.com), which touts itself as Greater Vancouver's best print magazine for new and expectant parents, published "Parenting, the ergonomic way," an article by Dr. Karen Nordahl and Carl Petersen, PT, that offers the following reminders when pushing a stroller:
– Keep head and chin up and ears over the shoulder;
– Keep shoulders depressed and retracted, with chest leading;
– Softly bend (don't lock) arms;
– Keep wrists in neutral when holding handlebars (especially if experiencing carpal tunnel issues); and
– Switch on or engage abdominals through any movement.
With all this in mind, daddies are better poised to purchase a stroller that fits and allows them to take a full, comfortable stride when walking.
– Height Matters –
Fortunately, both elbow locking and hunching over can be easily avoided by purchasing a stroller with the right handle height. Many daddies praise the stroller handle extender offered by LivingXL.com, an online retailer of "accessories for larger individuals" (http://www.livingxl.com/store/en_US/catalog/browse_sku.jsp?clear=true&catID=cat40220&prodId=X1108&id=cat40220). The device secures to any standard baby stroller handle with Velcro straps. It lengthens the handles by about eight inches which eliminates bad posture and wheel kicking.
Other daddies give kudos to the Uppa Baby Vista Stroller by Stroll and Go which has a one button, telescopic handle-height adjustment and a floating arch, "no kick" rear axle. Also included on the Vista's long list of attractive features is the fact that it keeps baby up higher, closer to daddy and further from the ground so there's no need for deep bending.
Also a favorite among daddies, is the TallParents stroller which was invented by a 6-foot-4-inch daddy and a 5-foot-11-inch mommy who were tired of stooping over the stroller and kicking its wheels. Lightweight and convenient, it has adjustable handles that extend to 46 inches. Another stroller with an adjustable handle is the Baby Jogger City Series (http://babyjogger.com/cityseriesmain.htm).
– Bells & Whistles –
Daddies with some extra cash in their pockets can get excited about the Roddler by Kid Kustoms (www.kidcustoms.com). The "harmonious result of the automotive and apparel industries joining forces to breathe new life into juvenile product market," Kid Kustoms offers a line of customizable strollers called the Roddler. In acknowledgement of the stroller's extravagance, creator Jamie Colbentz of Montreal founded Dads Against Wack Strollers (D.A.W.S.), a program allowing dads to win a Roddler.
Athletic daddies, like megamarathoner Michael Wardian, praise the BOB stroller (www.bobgear.com) for its strong suspension system, ruggedness, and style. BOB is the official stroller of the Ironman Triathalon and Stroller Strides.
Other daddies like the Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller which not only has a height-adjustable handle and a rear disc brake for quick stops, but also features a sound system for use with an iPod or other MP3 player.
– More Caregiver Daddies = More Dad-Friendly Strollers –
According to a report on the Today Show on April 2, 2008, the number of at-home dads has grown by 60 percent over the last four years. And, while census figures remain inaccurate and difficult to analyze, one this is certain – those who study the stay-at-home-dad movement expect the numbers will continue increasing.
AtHomeDad.org (www.athomedad.org) is a resource and community for stay-at-home dads, fathers who are primary caregivers in their family, and other involved dads. One of many web sites of its kind, it clearly illustrates the trend of more and more daddies stepping into the "Mr. Mom" role. In addition, the annual At-Home Dads Convention offers education and social support through parenting workshops, educational sessions, and social networking. As the reversal in traditional gender roles continues, consumer demands are sure to drive additional dad-friendly strollers to market.

Stories. When asked, "Where do you see yourself ending up?" I always respond with a solid "I have no idea.". I see life as those adventure books. You read a few pages and then at the bottom of the page, you have an option. If you choose one option, you turn to a specific page where you continue the story from there and deciding again further along in the story. You may also choose the other option, in which case you still continue reading the book and having another opportunity to choose another direction from that point.
Every single day, I get to decide what my life looks like. I am intentionally creating it. Not only am I creating it, I am also most interested in the actual story and the adventures within. The ending is of no consequence at this right now. If it were, then I would be done and I would know and expect everything in the book of my life. That would be like someone telling me the entire story and the ending. How boring. What would be the point of it being my life to create if it were up to someone else to tell it to me, or dictate it to me? That is just silly. Yet that is what so many of us have been conditioned to do. We are told what we are capable of, what we should be, what we should do, and how to do all of it along with the amount of time it should take to accomplish whatever. Again, what is the point? Is the point of life to accept what others think we should do so much that we don't question our own desires and our own heart? What a boring world that would be. What a way to live a life that lacks creativity and individuality. Since when did complacency and homogeny become the definition of life?
To shed the mold of what others have shaped us to be, we must know that we are the creator of our own lives. Because of that, we cannot mess it up. My life is just that. Mine. Others may not agree, or see an easier path for me. Others may think I should play it safe and just keep doing what works, not allowing myself to grow. Others may think that failing is the worst thing ever. My biggest fails have been what has allowed me to grow and learn and be inspired by my own capabilities. Failing is not doing what your heart wants. Failing is only doing the 'shoulds' in life as opposed to doing what we are called to do. Making mistakes in the eyes of others are simple; they are opinions of what they would do if they had a chance (or another chance). Just because it is not what they may think is the best, it is the best if it is your decision. Because it is YOUR life. You cannot mess up YOUR life, no matter what anyone says. And like those adventure books, we have the lovely ability to choose to change the path at any given moment.
As we go about the day, and we are a grumble-butt because we are at work and not on vacation, it is our life in which we are creating the main character to be a grumble-butt. The main character may be the giver that gives so much and is too modest, a martyr or feels unworthy of receiving. The main character may be the giver and the lover and the Being that is not afraid of what others think, for they know they are the main character in this story of their life. This life is your story. Create it! Be deliberate. Be loving. Be fun. Be bold. Be safe. Be unique. Be loving (yes, twice). Be supported. Be peaceful. Be calm. Be the character you would want to be, and know that it is YOUR story. Change it as you see fit, as you want. Some days are nice to choose to go all out and be the bravest most adventuresome you. Some days it's just as pleasant to choose to recharge and take it easy. I choose to keep my story, my book, my life interesting and joyful for me. I'm the only one who will know the value of the ending once it occurs. Until then, I will excitedly keep creating this adventure story of mine. I hope others will share theirs with me as they tell me the story they are creating. I don't want to know the ending. The story is the juicy part.


text: Please help me. I am an old dog (actually an old retired US Marine) trying to learn some new tricks. I need to exterminate some Alabama wild hogs that I can no longer get close to and since I am new to LRH I need some advice. My rifle is built on a Win Classic CRF ss action with a magazine length aprox 3.02" and is .300 WSM. My barrel is very near 26" measured from the face of the action and is a 5R 1:11.27 twist. I have 2 scopes: IOR 2.5-10x 42mm illuminated MP8 in standard IOR tactical rings and a 16x 42mm MP8 in double width rings, and IOR 20 moa base. I got a Choate U.S. stock just to get it out in time for last deer season and decided not to order the McMillan after 1 bench session. Considering my twist rate, what bullet would be best for wild hogs and whitetail and could also be used for elk? The hogs are generally well under 350 lbs. Those 600 lbs boars only exist in some mighty tall tales. My rifle does best at 600 yds with SMK moly 190 and Speer moly 168, sub 2" when I go out with my attitude and environmentals correct. The SMK 175 is almost as good. Would the SMK 200 be likely to shoot with my twist barrel? Should I even bother to try the new Accubond, if I can ever get any? It's length is reputed to be 1.480", BC .588. Has anyone here used Bergers on game? I did not get any but Berger info says at least the 190 VLS should shoot. A 1:12 twist is recommended for the 190 and 1:11 for the 210 VLD. Many thanks in advance for any help you can give.

2009 Woodstock Invitational Luthiers Showcase Announced
THE WOODSTOCK INVITATIONAL LUTHIERS SHOWCASE is an alternative guitar show, featuring fine, handmade acoustic guitars and stringed musical instruments exhibited by their makers. Show and sale with continuous live acoustic music performances and Luthier Demonstrations, 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturday and Sunday, October 24 and 25, 2009, at The Bearsville Theater, 291 Tinker Street (Route 212), Woodstock, New York 12498. General admission $10 per day. Also included is a Special Exhibit of significant historic, vintage and contemporary acoustic guitars and stringed instruments loaned by major collectors.
In addition, there will be two concerts and a number of instructional clinics and workshops, by separate admission.
The Woodstock Invitational Luthiers Showcase presents a gathering of handmade acoustic guitars and stringed instruments from around the world, the absolute finest expressions of the luthiers art. A luthier (from the word lute) is a stringed-instrument maker. Fine handmade instruments such as these are not usually available in music stores or other retail environments, and this is a rare opportunity for the public to see, play and experience the instruments, meet with their makers, discuss custom options and one of a kind creations, and order a dream guitar from over two dozen master builders, gathered together in one place. With the presence of two master luthiers from Istanbul, Turkey, the Woodstock Invitational has an international dimension. Nylon-stringed classical and flamenco style guitars, steel-string flattop and archtop guitars, crossovers and hybrids, mandolins, banjos, and Middle Eastern ouds, baglamas and sazzes will be on display. There will be continuous live music and Luthier Demonstrations on the Performance Stage throughout both days, with fine and famous musicians, international recording artists and music educators demonstrating instruments and performing on behalf of the makers.
The Woodstock Invitational is projected to become an annual gathering and celebration. There are only a few similar shows in North America, none of them on the Eastern Seaboard. The best guitars ever made are being made today by luthiers such as these. Blending tradition with innovation, knowledge, experience, craftsmanship, new materials and exotic woods, gorgeous decorative inlays, refinements and bold new directions in construction and design, the sound and playability of such beautiful instruments are inspirational to the creative spirit of musicians fortunate enough to play or own them. The Woodstock Invitational has something for everyone, player, collector, aficionado, casual fan, educational for the general public, and great music for all.

As a man thinks in his heart so is he…. Proverbs 23:7
Have you ever really paid attention to your thoughts? One of the definitions for the word thought is; the product of mental activity that one thinks. So what kind of activity do you have going on in your mind? In the book, The Secret, by Rhonda Byrne, she says that thoughts are magnetic and have a frequency. As you think a thought it is sent out and it magnetically attracts or brings to you on the sane frequency what you are thinking. She says if you want to change anything in your life change your thoughts. The bible puts it this way. Do not be conformed to the world, but transformed by the Renewing of your Mind. Romans 12:2
Your thoughts will transform your life either for good or for bad. If you are always thinking thoughts of lack then lack is what you will have in your life, If you think, God will supply all I need, I want for nothing then you will see that, that is what will come in to your life. It's not a one time deal. You have to constantly think on the good things in life. Sure there are a lot of negative things going on in our lives, some that require our attention and some that do not. The choice on what to think is solely yours.
I love Christmas and I love to give, I love to be a blessing to people. Not just the people I know, but people I see in the stores. I wanna pay for layaways and groceries for people, I just want to bless people especially around Christmas. The problem, I don't have funds to match that desire in my heart. As I was sitting here this morning talking to God about this very thing, the phrase, "It's The Thought That Counts", came to my mind. Now I am sure we all heard that saying before and we all know what it means but that is not how I understood that thought this morning. I understood it to mean the most important thing in what you are desiring to do is in YOUR THOUGHTS! Not the money or the lack thereof, but your thoughts. If all I continue to think on is how I want to give but don't have the money then that is all that will manifest, "a want to thought" but if I choose to think the thought "GOD HAS BLESSED ME TO BE A BLESSING" everyday then someway some how God is going to make a way for me. I BELIEVE THAT!!! The key is staying focused and paying very close attention to you thoughts. Once you make up your mind to do this the enemy will get your mind on everything but changing your thought life.
Your most dominant thoughts are what you will have in your life. As a matter of fact your life is the sum total of your thoughts. Your thoughts are the lumber you used to build the world you live in. If you don't like the way things are going in your life right now change your thoughts. Go to the word of God find out what HE has to say about your situation and think on that and watch you life change. I know I am.
Blessed To Be A Blessing,
PS……Leave me a thought below…. I have some shopping to do. 😀

Voluntary Action Coventry (VAC) hosted its 56th AGM on 20th November 2013 with an awards ceremony to recognise and celebrate the good work of voluntary and community groups in Coventry. The awards ceremony was a new approach for VAC to reward groups in the Sector who have demonstrated excellent working practice and made a significant impact in their communities. All of the applications received were of a very high standard which shows the amount of good work being done in Coventry by smaller charities and larger voluntary and community organisations. Following the formal AGM, the winners were announced. Coventry City Mission and Foleshill Women's Training fought off tough competition to successfully win an award each for Involving Volunteers and likewise Adventure Centre Ltd won the award for Fundraising.
Coventry City Mission (CCM) provide young people in Wood End, Manor Farm and Henley Green a positive place to go after school to engage in traditional youth group activities including art & craft, the use of games consoles and a pool table. The unique quality of the Redeeming Our Communities Junior project is that it is run in partnership with other groups/statutory bodies within the area in order to reduce fear and misunderstanding across groups and to create a better community feel. CCM currently has over 100 volunteers supporting their work who provide a positive influence to the people in their communities.
Foleshill Women's Training (FWT) is an award winning organisation with 24 years experience of tackling Social, Health & Economic barriers that women from Coventry and the surrounding areas face. Many of their new volunteers are women from ethnic minority backgrounds who are newly arrived to the country or are unemployed and looking for work experience. Going to FWT gives them more confidence and social skills to work with other people and to communicate effectively in a safe setting, while they gain more confidence to advance further. FWT train volunteer Health Champions to go out into the community to raise awareness of health issues and promote healthy lifestyle. Many of the hard to reach groups they want to engage face issues such as trust, confidence and language barriers and the volunteers help by breaking these barriers down. FWT recruit a mixture of volunteers with various skills and languages and encourage women to make even small changes.
Adventure Centre Ltd offer young people and their families' affordable recreation and leisure activities including abseiling, archery, bouldering and zip wire to develop their capabilities that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society. The group formed just over 25 years ago with 5 young children and has since seen thousands of young people and adults come through the doors of the centre. Through fundraising, Adventure Centre Ltd has been able to support parents and young people to access the activities and during the last 25 years over £300,000 has been raised.
VAC would like to thank Harry Shaw Business Computers, Band Hatton Button Solicitors and National Express for sponsoring the awards.

Refresh: Shannon McKee
Today's post was written by Shannon McKee. You can find her blogging here.
I'm watching him from across the atrium. Observing the way he moves through the room. A smile plays across his face as he talks to different people. Old, young, man woman, adult, teenager, black, white, blue collar, white collar, inner city, suburb… it doesn't matter. Truth be told, it's been like this for as long as I can remember. Caleb striking up a conversation with the janitor on the way out of school. Caleb slowing down in the hallway to talk with the young man in leg braces. Caleb holding the door for an elderly woman and looking her in the eye as she passes through. It's a gift, really. This way he can converse with all kinds of people.
It's important for me to stop and really look at him in these moments. To appreciate the way God has wired him and gifted him uniquely. Because raising him has been a challenge that has stretched me to my breaking point at times. To call him a strong-willed kid would be an understatement.
Why God gave me a child who is prone to question authority and push all the boundaries is beyond me. Me, the girl who got called goody-two-shoes through much of middle school. Me, the girl who hides from conflict. Me, the girl who kept her grades high and pretty much always did what she was told. Mind you, it wasn't because I always had good motives. It just never occurred to me to do some of the things my boy has tried. Or to challenge authority figures the way he does.
Over the years, his teachers have consistently told us that they expect him to do great things. "He'll be a worldchanger." "He's the kind of kid that will fight hard against injustice because he's willing to go against the grain." "I fully expect him to be president someday." Which are all strange kinds of things to hear when you're just trying to get him through high school in one piece. Or you're back in the principal's office for another "discussion" about something that happened at school. In those moments, it feels like he's the one who CAUSED the injustice!
For me it's created a kind of dissonance in my soul that I don't always understand. All my good parenting strategies have been tossed out the window. Because I'm learning that raising kids isn't a formula. Oh, the books would like to tell you otherwise. They tell you that "if you do xyz, you'll get this kind of kid." Don't believe me? Take a survey of all the books and mom-blogs out there with their "how-to" strategies and lists. And, if your parenting experience isn't fitting into that ideal, it can leave you feeling a little disillusioned and weary. In fact, it's downright exhausting. In many ways, I'm more tired now than I was in those crazy toddler years as I constantly question myself when I am alone with my thoughts. The stakes seem so high now as adulthood is around the corner.
How do you find refreshment in that kind season? For me, the refreshment has come in letting God wreck some of my expectations. Like totally obliterate them. For instance, my categories. What do we mean when we talk about "good" kids or "bad" kids? Or my definition of success. When are we proud of our kids? Why?
The beauty of it is that the wrecking brings a kind of humility that leads to freedom. The sweet freedom of not having it all together. There's a kind of surrender in that. Of throwing up your hands and saying, "wow, this has thrown me for a loop a little bit and I'm not really sure what to do."
As you do, you'll find yourself looking across the atrium at your kid and really seeing him for who he is. Not necessarily what you expected but knit-together with intent by our Creator God.
That moment is a really beautiful thing.

Brunei improves rank in Intellectual Property Index
BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN (Borneo Bulletin/ANN) - Despite Brunei Darussalam's improved showing in the United States (US) Chamber of Commerce Global Innovation Policy Centre's (GIPC) International Intellectual Property (IP) Index for this year, the report noted that there were still substantial challenges inundating the country's patenting, copyrights and IP enforcement environment.
For the second year in a row, the Sultanate maintained an upward trajectory in the ranking. In the latest edition of the International IP Index, Brunei's rank rose to 34 out of 50 economies, an improvement of one place on its 35th position in 2018. The report was published last week.
Brunei's overall score in the seventh edition of the Index increased substantially to 17.31 (out of a maximum score of 45) against 15.01 (out of 40) in the report's sixth edition last year.
The report said this reflects a relatively strong performance on the new indicators added to the Index, and a score increase on the new patent prosecution highway (PPH) agreement indicator.
Elaborating more on membership in Patent Prosecution Highways (PPHs), the report added that although Brunei is not a member of either the Global PPH or the IP5 PPH, the Brunei IP Office (BruIPO) and Japan Patent Office (JPO) have in place a patent prosecution highway under the JPO's PPH+ programme.
This positive feature of Brunei's national IP environment marks another step in the development of BruIPO's institutional and technical capacity. As a result, the country's score on this indicator increased by 0.5.
The latest report analysed the IP climate in 50 world economies based on 45 indicators critical to an innovation-led economy.
Brunei's key strengths in 2017, for the purpose of retrospective comparison, were accession to WIPO Internet Treaties; major IP reforms in the past few years, including establishment of an IP office (BruIPO); removal from the Special 301 Report; a new patent prosecution highway (PPH) agreement in place with Japan; and no fundamental administrative or regulatory barriers in place to execute licensing agreements.
Its key weaknesses meanwhile were the lacking of IP rights in the life sciences; regulatory data protection not available; compulsory licence framework overly broad; limited framework for addressing online piracy and circumvention devices; high software piracy rates - 64 per cent in the latest estimates; limited incentives in place for the creation and use of IP assets for SMEs.
The 2017 report ranks economies based on 40 unique indicators that benchmark activity critical to innovation development surrounding patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secrets protection.
"The results of this year's Index illustrate a growing global commitment to IP-driven creativity and innovation," GIPC President and CEO David Hirschmann said. "The majority of countries took steps to strengthen their IP systems and foster an environment that encourages and incentivises creators to bring their ideas to market.
"While a clear pack of leaders in IP protection top the rankings, the leadership gap has narrowed in a new global race to the top. There is still work to be done, and we hope governments will use this Index as a blueprint to further improve their IP ecosystems and grow competitive, knowledge-based economies. When countries invest in strong IP systems, we all benefit."
The US, United Kingdom and European Union economies remain on top of the global IP rankings, this despite the US lead being narrowed due to systemic challenges to the US patent system. Japan and Singapore also make an appearance in the Index's top 10.

This week I took advantage of the gorgeous weather to bring some of our art time outside. I am so excited that spring is now truly here and showing its face everywhere we go. I thought it would be a wonderful way to celebrate our return to the outdoors by enjoying some fun with paint on canvas out in our backyard. It was really such a simply project too, all I needed was a canvas, some brushes and of course paint! I brought out all of my paints and let Owen pick his favorites. At first I tried setting out the paints he chose on a palette for him to paint from. However, he just ended up using the palette as his canvas so I soon realized that simply putting the paint directly onto the canvas would work much better, and it did. I would just put the paint directly from the tube of paint he chose onto the canvas and then he would paint away.
Once he was all done painting I brought out a bowl full of warm soapy and he of course had a blast with this part probably just as much as he did ith the painting if not more. It was also adorable to watch him clean himself up with very little help from me I might add. I simply gave him a towel to help him clean up and once he was all clean he even wiped down his table. What a good boy.
Overall he didn't stay focused on the project as long as I would have hoped for, but maybe this is a sign that he prefers water colors to acrylics (yes I actually used acrylics with my babe haha, totally risky!) because every time we have done water colors he paints for almost an entire hour! Although, I thought maybe being outside was what distracted him as we have not done any art outside since last summer. All in all it was a successful art session and I can't wait to take on more outside art projects.

Come and Experience the Old Masters and the Dutch History
Duration: 8 hours
Visit with us "The Hague" (about an hour from Amsterdam) and discover this beautiful and interesting city, famous for its International Court of Justice, donated by Andrew Carnegie, the well-known American philanthropist. Let us show you around the scenic city centre, where we find our seat of government, and right beside it the Mauritshuis, one of our state museums. This is home of the famous Vermeer painting "Girl with a "Pearl Earring", and many other old Dutch masters. See with your own eyes how these painters were able to paint with "natural light".
And of course there is the Peace Palace, that famous International Court of Justice, our King's working palace, Noordeinde Palace, the embassies, the upmarket shopping area, and much more. To top that all, we will take you to "Madurodam", our miniature city, where you will find all our significant buildings and structures on a small scale. It was built in memory of the resistance hero "George Maduro". This is always a treat for the young and old. Then it is on to Scheveningen, Holland's most flamboyant beach-resort, where it's nice to stroll along the lively boulevard. Maybe we can persuade you to try one of our traditional snacks, the Dutch herring, a slightly salted delicacy from our own North Sea. As these herrings are brought into our country through the fishing harbour in Scheveningen, this is the best place to try them. There are some excellent places for lunch, especially if you are a fresh fish lover.
From there we go to Delft, world famous for its blue pottery and birthplace of Johannes Vermeer. We will visit one of the factories of the Delftware where you can see how these amazing designs are still traditionally hand-painted before going into the blazing kiln. Then its time to see the old city of Delft, with its unique market square, dominated by the New Church, which holds the tomb chamber of our royal family, and the beautiful solid marble grave of "William of Orange". If you are up for it, you can climb its 356 stairs to one of the most spectacular views of the surrounding area. After all this we will drive you in comfort back to your hotel.

Last week I had a dream I was in a majestic residence in the heart of Verona Italy. I was upstairs in this palatial building overlooking the Roman Arena while enjoying lunch with more than 100 of Italy's top winemakers. After lunch, I was given VIP access to taste some of the world's finest wines with a small group of industry professionals and journalists…and then I woke up and realized it wasn't a dream.
The sixth edition of Opera Wine was held at the Palazzo Della Guardia in Verona on April 8, 2017. Opera Wine is an exclusive event presented by the Wine Spectator and Vinitaly. Each of the wineries selected pour one great vintage of their wine. The owners and winemakers are on hand to meet with you and discuss their wines. The selection of producers is based on the producers track record of quality and their historical importance in their region. For an Italian wine lover, there is no greater one-day event than Opera Wine.
My dignitary access came because of my being a student at the Vinitaly International Academy but that is a story for another time. The real stars of this event were the wines. From the far northern regions of Valle d'Aosta and Alto Adige to the southern reaches of Puglia, Calabria and Sicily, each region of Italy was represented. Famous names are at every table within the Grand Palazzo: Allegrini, Biondi Santi, Mastroberardino, Gaja, Ornellaia, Sassicaia and the list goes on.
I must admit that even though I mapped out a strategy before the event to taste as many wines as possible, I only got through roughly half of them during the three-hour event. Perhaps I spent too much time asking questions and savoring each wine to taste all 104. Shame on me.
You are probably wondering if I had a favorite or two and I know it sounds cliché but that would be like choosing you favorite child. However, there were two wines I had to go back at the very end to see if they really were as impressive as I thought they were. Yes, is the answer to both Elvio Cogno's Barolo Ravera 2005 and Bruno Giacosa's Barolo Le Rocche del Falletto Riserva 2008. Now if I can only capture that dream again…

We all love guns and have our own collections and favorites. But what are 20 guns that are good enough to hand down to the next generation?
1. The Gun You Own
Before we jump into the list full force (and there are some great guns on it), I think it's important to start here. What gun is good enough to hand down to the next generation? That would be every gun. When guns get passed on through generations, it's often who it came from that makes it special, not what the gun is capable of.
Guns are awesome, and we love them. Every gun is worthy of getting passed down. Someone's hard-earned money bought that gun, and the sentimental value of getting your grandpa's gun is something you can't put a price on.
2. Crickett .22
A great starter gun. The Crickett .22 is the staple for a youngster's "first rifle." Small in size, its functionality is perfect for children plinking in the backyard or hunting squirrels. Seeing a rifle this small is eye-catching and pretty neat.
Everybody needs a Crickett.
3. Remington 870
The 870. If you hunt and haven't heard of it… well, I hope there's good hunting under that rock where you live. Probably recognized as the most versatile shotgun out there, I would love to know how many waterfowl, rabbits, squirrels, turkey and deer harvest this gun has accounted for in its rich history.
Legen… wait for it… dary.
4. H&R Single Shot Topper
H&R makes some great single shots. 410, 20, 12, 10…every gauge you can think of. One shot…because some time simple is cool. According to their page, "the Topper resonates with many generations of shooters because it's often the gun you start with as a youngster and return to as an adult when you realize simple is better. When you desire one well-placed shot from a lightweight, dependable shotgun, Topper is the lineup more people trust than any other."
Could not agree more. Nothing feels cooler than breaking open a single shot as a child.
5. Colt 1911
The 1911 is a semi-automatic large-frame pistol chambered in .45 ACP or .38 Super. It is one of those guns: if you haven't heard of it, you haven't been listening. The Colt 1911 has a long history with the US Military and became the token pistol because of its simple design.
One of the biggest things that draws gun people is its light recoil. 1911 is a must in a collection and a great gun to hand down to your kids.
6. Ruger 10/22
This gun is very dear to me because it was my first. Many rounds fired at cans, squirrels, and whatever else I could get the sights on. The Ruger 10/22 rifle offers a superior combination of light weight, short overall length and mechanical dependability that ensures years of reliable old fashion firepower fun.
30 round clip and an itchy trigger finger is this gun's best friend. You can guarantee I will be passing this one along to my first child.
7. Remington 700
Incredibly popular rifle with incredible results. This bolt action rifle from Remington was designed for mass production. The 700 comes in a large number of variants, with different stocks, barrel configurations, metal finishes and many many calibers.
If you don't have atleast one style of the 700 you aren't living. There is a reason it is one of the most sold guns in the history of firearms.
8. Savage .17 HMR
A very cool little rifle with some good knock down power. This gun has gained a lot of popularity in the last decade and seems to be finding it's way to many collectors gun safes.
Savage .17 HMR, you need one.
9. Browning A-5
The Browning A-5. One of those guns that really doesn't even need explained. Legendary shotgun with a very recognizable "humpback" look. Make sure you get the old A-5 with wood.
Once again, the Browning A-5…enough said.
10. Remington Model 1100
Super popular among sportsman, the Model 1100 is a gas operated semi-automatic shotgun. The Remington 1100 was the first semiautomatic shotgun to feature significant improvements in felt recoil, weight and reliability. And since that breakthrough, they haven't quit flying off the shelves.
Hard to find a gun collector that doesn't have one of these stored away somewhere. You can guarantee this gun will be changing generational hands for thousands of years to come.
A clay pigeon's worst nightmare.
11. Henry Golden Boy .22
What a beautiful and iconic gun. That shiny gold sitting atop that clean lever action mold is sure to catch the eye of any gun lover. Recognizable and awesome, the Golden Boy is a great gun to snatch up.
Nothing beats a good ol' lever action. And nothing beats a .22. So what happens when you put them together and slap some gold on it?
Greatness from Henry.
12. Benelli Nova
Benelli makes very durable guns and everybody needs a good pump gun like this. I have personally seen these guns put through the ringer. Rode hard and put away wet, and they always continue to function like new.
Choose either 12 or 20 gauge for your needs, but this gun will last a long time. And they also look very nice.
13. Remington 11-87
Based off of the Remington Model 1100, Remington made another great shotgun with the 11-87. Nothing incredibly mind blowing or special, just a solid gun for a very affordable price. You can never have to many semi-automatic shotguns either.
14. Savage 220
We all love whitetail hunting, and this gun is starting to separate itself from others in the outdoor world for the "go to" deer slug gun. The bolt action 20 gauge is a tack driver and can help you put down monster bucks from over 150 yards with a shotgun. A great gun to invest in and hand down to someone special someday.
15. Marlin 336 in .30-30
What kind of list would this be without a .30-30? The Marlin 336 will make you feel like a real John Wayne when cracking the lever and racking off shots.
Marlin is a tremendous manufacturer, and 336 will not disappoint. There is a reason there was over 3.5 million sold in its first 40 years of production.
16. LC Smith 28 Gauge
Everybody needs a double barrel within their collection. And why not spice it up with a 28 gauge from LC Smith. No other gun quite screams "my father worked for a living but lived to hunt" like an LC Smith 28 gauge.
17. .30-06
For the sake of not hurting anyone's feelings and ticking some of you off by choosing a certain manufacturer, we are just going to go with the 30.06 in general. One of the most popular hunting calibers on the planet, the 30.06 is a must have. Choose a manufacturer that fits in your price range and hand this puppy down for generations to come!
18. Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum
Let's face it, every and any Smith & Wesson revolver could make this list. Rich tradition and great products. Every body needs a big pistol, and the .357 Magnum by S&W is a no brainer.
19. Benelli Ultra Light 20 Gauge
It is always nice to have a nice upland gun. At 5.2 lbs, the Benelli Ultra Light is the lightest 20 gauge in the world. Benelli is great quality and this inertia driven system is something your next generation will learn to love.
20. Red Ryder BB Gun
Let's end with a bang! Old faithful. Everyone has had one and everyone in the future needs one. The Red Ryder BB Gun is where it starts for most.
Just don't shoot your eye out, kid!

The Alaska Afterschool Network is recognizing five outstanding afterschool professionals who act as everyday superheroes in our youth's lives during Afterschool Professionals Appreciation Week, happening April 24-28.
These Afterschool Superheroes provide academic enrichment and keep youth safe, while making it possible for families to go to work with peace of mind. Out-of-school time staff step forward every day to help children in need, provide healthy snacks and meals, foster success in school, and serve as role models.
This year's five recognized Afterschool Superheroes are highlighted below.
Tracey Hupe | Club Manager at Boys & Girls Club of Eagle River, Eagle River
Tracey wants all her students to succeed. Each summer she runs a program that helps prepare teenagers for their first jobs and life beyond high school by helping them write their resumes and identify opportunities in their community. Many of the youth are hired on at the Club as Junior Staff. During the afterschool program, Tracey helps youth with homework and makes sure that they are on track to graduate.
The Boys & Girls Club of Eagle River is a busy Club, and Tracey understands that to assure the youth have the best possible experience, it requires funding. She works with local businesses to increase fundraising opportunities for the Club, especially to provide awards and recognition for Club members. Members are recognized for the achievements in a Youth of the Month, Artist of the Month, Techie of the Month, and more.
"Members are offered programs that lead them to succeed in the areas of academic achievement, character and leadership, and living a healthy lifestyle by staying active, making good food choices, and avoiding drugs and alcohol and other risky behaviors," says Jennifer Brown, a co-worker at the Club.
Tracey's impact goes beyond the Clubhouse doors. She is very involved in the community, serving as the President of the Sleeping Lady Mountain Lions Club Women's Auxilary, as well as regularly engaging with the Eagle River Chamber of Commerce and the annual Bear Paw Festival.
Nominated by: Jennifer Brown, Co-worker & Lisa Mahan, Senior Director of Boys & Girls Clubs – Alaska
Missy Odsather | Afterschool Program Coordinator at Barnette Magnet School, Fairbanks
Missy supports equity among youth in her community. When one young girl was unable to attend the afterschool program due to financial reasons, Missy worked to secure funding from one of the tribal corporations to help provide academic support to the youth. Missy's actions also support the youth's mother, a fulltime student, by providing her a few extra hours to focus on her studies while her daughter attends the afterschool program.
Barnette Magnet School has Kindergarten up through 8th grade, so Missy works with a wide span of ages each night at the afterschool program. She incorporates physical fitness activities, collaborative games, peer tutoring and STEM, in addition to homework help.
"She shows up every day with a smile on her face and a genuine love in her heart for the students at Barnette," says Dana Evans, Principal at Barnette Magnet School.
When Missy noticed that not all her students were engaged after school, she set up a rotating schedule in the afternoon to make sure each student had something they would love – from STEM days, to crafting days, to game days.
"Missy inspires students to be their best every day. She always goes the extra mile to make learning fun and applicable to student's lives," says Ashley Yeats, a co-worker at Barnette Magnet School.
Nominated by: Dana Evans, Principal at Barnette Magnet School; Ashley Yeats, Co-worker; Carolyn Jordan, Co-worker; & Deborah Bennett, Co-worker
Janice Hadley | Onsite Coordinator at Southeast Regional Resource Center (SERRC) 21st Century Community Learning Center (CCLC), Kotzebue
Janice makes sure that every single one of the 60 kids in her Kotzebue program has a safe way home after the program ends. Often staying late, Janice is understanding that some families may be running late and does not mind waiting to ensure that no student is ever left alone.
"She is compassionate and works with families, which makes them feel welcome and safe," says Sadie Tollman, who works for the afterschool program and has a daughter in the program.
The 21st CCLC program in Kotzebue has a waitlist almost all year long to get into the program. Janice supports the staff at the program, providing them with the time and energy they need to create inspiring learning activities for students.
"Janice breathes life into our 21st CCLC afterschool program," says Kat Souser, a co-worker at the program. "Janice dedicates many unpaid hours and donates supplies when needed to ensure the program's success. It is because of Janice that we have exceptional afterschool staff and students eagerly waiting to join the program every year."
Nominated by: Sadie Tollman, Co-worker and Parent & Kat Souser, Co-worker
Thomas Burek | Executive Director at Trailside Discovery, Anchorage
Thomas has dedicated more than 30 years of service to the afterschool field. He continues to find new, innovative ways to introduce students to nature, and fundraises to provide scholarships to youth that cannot afford to attend the camp. One summer, two young boys from an Iraqi refugee family received scholarships, but had no way of getting to the Science Center. To assist the family, Thomas arranged for the youth to be picked up and dropped off at their house every day of camp.
Trailside serves hundreds of kids every summer and focuses on environmental education. This year will be Thomas's last summer as Executive Director at Trailside, as he plans to complete his master's degree in Special Education and transition to a career as a teacher.
"Tom is a mentor to everyone at Trailside. He helps campers become Counselors in Training, Counselors in Training become Counselors, and Counselors become Directors," says Teresa Worthy, a previous employee of Thomas. "He sees the potential in everybody and does everything he can to help them achieve that potential."

Courtney Havrilek | Lead Afterschool Coordinator at Lathrop High School, Fairbanks
Courtney is always looking for ways to support the most vulnerable students at her afterschool program. After one student who was typically very engaged missed a few days of the program, Courtney learned that it was because all the young boy's clothes were too small for him and the family did not have funds for new clothes. Courtney then worked to pool together all her resources, and by the end of the day, the boy had an entirely new wardrobe donated to him.
"Courtney works with counseling staff, teachers, community partners, and administration to make sure students who are struggling have the support they need both in school and their community life," says Julie Wild-Curry, Courtney's supervisor. "She provides ongoing support to her students and families that extend far beyond her job description."
Courtney works to keep up with the latest best practices in the field and passes along all her knowledge, insights, and energy with colleagues locally and statewide. With abounding enthusiasm, she is always willing to prepare professional development opportunities to mentor other professionals in the field and contribute to the growth and professionalism of afterschool.
Nominated by: Julie Wild-Curry, Supervisor
These highlighted Afterschool Superheroes will receive an award to honor their impact on youth, as well as free registration to the 2017 Alaska Afterschool Conference, to be held November 16-17.
Afterschool Superheroes is a movement in conjunction with the National AfterSchool Association (NAA) to celebrate the professionals that are at the heart of afterschool programs during Afterschool Professionals Appreciation Week April 24-28, 2017.

Iron and vitamin B12.
Vivera products contain iron and vitamin B12. Essential nutrients for a balanced meal and a good addition to a vegetarian diet.
Vitamin B12 and Iron
Do you eat entirely vegetarian? Then pay attention to your daily supplement of iron and vitamin B12. Iron is an important building block for the production of haemoglobin, necessary for the transport of oxygen in your blood. Vitamin B12 is essential for building tissues.
Both nutrients are well represented in meat. Thus you will need to supplement them. That's why all Vivera products contain iron and B12. This means that you can tastily vary with your diet and eat what you fancy, and still get all the healthy nutrients your body needs.
Vitamin C
You can't hear it often enough: eat two pieces of fruit per day. Vitamin C stimulates the absorption of iron from green vegetables, fruits and wholegrain products. Moreover, this way you build up a better resistance. Bon appetit!

Refer to the ATO for details regarding any SGC charges applicable if not paid by due date.
SuperStream is NOW
How will SuperStream benefit Employers?
These changes have a range of potential benefits for employers, including:
- the opportunity to use a single channel when dealing with super funds, regardless of how many funds your employees contribute to
- less time spent dealing with employee data issues and fund queries
- greater automation and reduced cost of processing contributions and payments
- more timely flow of information and money in meeting your superannuation obligations.
When do I have to start using SuperStream?
20 or more employees: must be compliant by 30 June 2015.
Philip Hind, ATO's National Program Manager, Data Standards & E-Commerce (SuperStream) said the ATO will extend its compliance flexibility to employers who are not yet SuperStream-ready by four months until 31 October 2015.
19 or fewer employees: SuperStream starts the 1 July 2015 and you have until 30 June 2016 to meet the SuperStream requirements when sending superannuation contributions on behalf of your employee. If you are ready you can begin now.
What are my options for meeting SuperStream?
Every business is different, so there's no 'one size fits all' approach to adopting SuperStream
Employers have options for meeting SuperStream – either using software that conforms to SuperStream; or using a service provider who can meet SuperStream on your behalf. We recommend that you start investigating your options now.
Your options may include:
- upgrading your payroll software
- using an outsourced payroll function or other service provider
- using a commercial clearing house or the free Small Business Superannuation Clearing House (if applicable).
- Your default fund may also have its own electronic channel that can be used during the transitional period up to 30 June 2016. This fund can provide you with details about how to comply with the SuperStream using their preferred facilities.
Changes to the Small Business Superannuation Clearing House
- Employers with fewer than 19 employees can make use of the Small Business Clearing House as their SuperStream solution.
- From 1 July 2015, all businesses with an annual turnover below the small business entity turnover threshold, currently set at $2 million, will be eligible to access Small Business Superannuation Clearing House (SBSCH).
- ATO requires 'employee privacy notification' to use the Small Business Superannuation Clearing House refer to the ATO website.
SuperStream Requirements
- Does the SuperStream Payment have to happen at the same time as the Message is sent? The Superstream regulations require the message related to the payment of a SuperStream amount to happen in the SAME DAY.
- Can I send the message when I finish the quarter and the business pay on the 28th?
NO: the Regulations require the payment to be processed on the same day as the message.
Compliance Does Not Mean it is a Tax Deduction.
Under SuperStream, all employers are encouraged to use a clearing house (the SBSCH or a commercial clearing house or a default super fund provided clearing house). We agree that a clearing house is the efficient way to manage the payments of SGC. However the employer doesn't get a tax deduction unless the payment is received by the respective superfunds by the 28th. So the employer must pay the clearing house in time for the clearing house to then pay the superfund by the 28th.
We will be revisiting SuperStream throughout 2015-2016 to keep all relevant information updated.
Business Information - Payroll & Fairwork
There are many legal obligations that an employer is bound by. As soon as you engage employees, you will most likely have tax and superannuation obligations at the least, and there are many more issues to consider when employing people.
It is the legal responsibility of the employer to pay the correct rate of pay, superannuation, taxes, and entitlements, and to abide by all the relevant employment related laws, including FairWork.
Employer Obligations Checklist
- Modern Awards: These are industry or occupation-based minimum employment standards which apply in addition to the National Employment Standards (NES). They were created to establish one set of minimum conditions for employers and employees across Australia who work in the same industries and occupations. Almost every worker in Australia is covered by a Modern Award. While there are still some State-based awards in operation, these do not apply to employers and employees covered by the Fair Work Act 2009.
- National Employment Standards: The NES contain 10 minimum workplace entitlements which have applied to all employers and employees in the national workplace relations system since 1 January 2010, (however only certain entitlements apply to casual employees). These are legally-enforceable minimum employment terms and conditions.
- Fair Work Information Statement: All employers covered by the national workplace relations system have an obligation to give each new employee a Fair Work Information Statement before, or as soon as possible after, the employee starts employment.
- Fair Work Compliance: It is unlawful to ask people to work on unpaid trials, pay in goods rather than money, pressure employees into agreements, coerce employees or third parties to not exercise their rights, discriminate, terminate unfairly, and engage in 'sham contracting' arrangements. Heavy penalties apply for breaches of these laws.
- Dispute Resolution: Modern awards generally impose a process to assist in the resolution of disputes that arise about matters under the award or in relation to the NES. If the dispute can't be resolved at the workplace level, the matter can generally be referred to the Fair Work Commission.
- Record-Keeping: According to the Fair Work Ombudsman (FWO), records need to be kept for 7 years, while the ATO says 5 years. Err on the side of caution and keep ALL payroll related records for 7 years.
- Superannuation Choice Form: An employer must provide a Superannuation Choice Form to all employees on commencement of employment and you must abide by that choice. If the employee does not make a specific choice, you must pay superannuation into a default superannuation fund.
Other Employment Obligations
Being an employer means more than simply paying your employees. There are various government bodies that you must report to.
There are also various laws that govern your responsibilities as an employer.
FairWork governs many areas related to employment, for example:
Employee entitlements such as: annual leave, hours of work, flexibility arrangements, anti-bullying laws, penalty rates, working on public holidays and much more.
Examples of other areas covered are employment contracts, unfair dismissal, termination of employment, change of business ownership and record keeping obligations.
You May Need to Pay All or Some of these Taxes & Expenses
- PAYG Withholding to the ATO
- Superannuation to a Clearing House or Superannuation Fund
- Fringe Benefits Tax to the ATO
- Payroll Tax to the State Revenue Office
- Workers Compensation Insurance
You May be Governed by All or Some of These Laws
- FairWork Act 2009
- Pay As You Go Act 1999
- Superannuation Guarantee Act 1992
- Workplace Health and Safety State laws
- Payroll tax State laws
- Long Service Leave State laws
- Workplace Relations Act 1996
- Privacy Act 1988
- Freedom of Information Act 1982
- Independent Contractors Act 2006
- Anti-Discrimination Act 1977
- Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012
- Child Support Act 1989
- Paid Parental Leave Act 2012
- …And there may be other laws, relevant to your state or industry that are applicable to you.

This one's just for fun: I clipped a few Julia Child quotes out of an article Food & Wine magazine this summer. Here they are along with a few others. Julia was a fount of wisdom both inside the kitchen and out.
"Life itself is the proper binge."
"I was 32 when I started cooking. Up until then, I just ate."
"If you're afraid of butter, use cream."
"The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook."
"Always start out with a larger pot than what you think you need."
"Find something you're passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it."
"If cooking is evanescent, well, so is the ballet."

The #1 Killer of Innovation
Vital Germaine
The most common and worst possible reaction to ideas being shared is somebody saying… "That's a great idea... but!"
- Have you ever heard that?
- Have you ever experienced that?
- Have you ever done that?
We've all done it. I've done it! We've all murdered an idea at its conception.
"Don't murder the birth of innovation when somebody shares an idea."
The challenge is to focus on the potential of the idea as a starting point that will lead to the optimum solution. Let your team, fail, explore, discover, breathe, flow and expand until they spread their wings and fly without a net..
Throughout my years in varied positions of leadership and while giving corporate trainings and workshops around the world, I've seen and heard many murderers of innovation. Don't squash an idea from the onset when somebody makes a suggestion... you'll otherwise miss out on an incredible amount of potential. Allow all ideas to be shared, heard and considered, regardless of how valid or invalid the initially appear. Listen to a "bad idea" with full consideration for "what if"... or even better, "yes, and!" This attitude and collaborative approach will open the door to a better idea, which in turn will inspire the right idea.
"If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas." - George Bernard Shaw
At ENGAGE we believe that the single most effective solution or STEP, to inspire ideas and collaboration is through creative empowerment. Disrupt your leadership, culture and innovation strategy. Invite your employees to participate and contribute more. Allow them to act as a launching pad and catalyst for innovation, change and ultimately growth and differentiation.
Inspire and stimulate creativity and innovation by making risk and the acceptance of failure a part of your strategy and identity.
In order to achieve this objective, leaders must embrace individuality (within a teamwork mindset), and get out the way, allowing team members to be free to spread their wings, reach higher, and fly without a net
