The Design Museum
The British architect John Pawson is the chief designer and creator of the interior transformation of the former Commonwealth Institute on London´s Kensington High Street. The new 10 000 square meter Design Museum includes primarily two major gallery spaces, a permanent collection display, a restaurant overlooking Holland Park, and an auditorium. As a minimalist type of architect with a focus on the details the rehabilitation is unmistakably Pawson. He has created a series of atmospheric spaces around an oak-lined atrium, with exceptionally skilled woodwork, concealed lighting, floating benches and luxuriously ascetic adjoining rooms. In addition to the overall design OMA have had the architectural and structural expertise, the permanent collection display is designed by Studio Myerscough, a restaurant and members' room by Universal Design Studio, a Centre for Learning made possible by the Swarovski Foundation, flooring by Dinesen, furniture by Vitra, shelving by Vitsoe, lighting by Concord, a visual identity by Studio Fernando Gutierrez and way-finding by Cartlidge Levene.

With college students all over the country on spring break -- heading here to Florida and other warm location -- it's essential more than ever to remember the dangers of drunk driving. While individual state laws regarding the legal drinking age and the specific penalties for DUIs vary, a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 can get you arrested in every state. Further, if you're under the legal drinking age, you can face legal DUI charges for any measurable amount of alcohol in your system.
It's always a good idea to reinforce wise behaviors with your kids so that whether they're headed off to spring break or just a night out with their friends, they avoid a DUI arrest and -- more importantly -- being injured or worse.
-- Have a plan to get back to your hotel (or dorm) before you head out. If you plan to drink, call an Uber or taxi. If you're out of town and staying at a hotel, have the hotel information on hand in case you're in no condition to tell the driver where to take you at the end of the night.
-- Don't carry open containers of alcohol in any unlocked part of the vehicle. If you have an open container, lock it in the trunk where it can't be reached.
-- If you see a DUI checkpoint, don't go out of your way to avoid it. That will just attract more attention from the police.
-- Remember that DUIs aren't just for alcohol or illegal drugs. Any kind of drugs (even over-the-counter ones) that impair your driving and can get you a DUI. Mixing many drugs with alcohol can especially impact your driving.
Even a first-time DUI where no one is injured can carry a hefty fine and potentially jail time. If your student is facing a DUI charge, it's essential to make sure that you get sound legal guidance to help mitigate the consequence to his or her future.

Hey Guys!
Hope you all are enjoying this extended weekend and doing some or other happening things. As my facebook timeline is all filled up with travelling posts by friends, so I got little upset as I have no such plans. But then I realize that I got enough time to write to all my followers so I planning to do 2-3 blog post in this days for you guys and enjoying this weekend.
I guess my weekend hangover may take away this post so I better stick to my today's topic. So to start with, I want to introduce with a new brand HOG Clothing, I guess few of you may be aware but if not, my post will surely help you out.
HOG is a young & vibrant Delhi-based fashion brand; H.O.G makes fashion fun with its fresh assortment of ready-to-wear for women. This brand has a new approach to fashion. Their chic and hip collection of women's fashion wear is available on Website
You can also shop H.O.G clothing on the hottest and the most trusted online stores too such as, Jabong, Myntra, Flipkart, Limeroad, Amazon, Snapdeal, Shopclues and Paytm.
As a part of my collaboration with HOG, I choose to style my favorite colour bottle green Dori Embroidered Drapped Pleated Top. Gone are those days, where golden embroidery is only associated with wedding & all. Trend has changing and golden colour is now a part of our current fashion style. I love the golden leaves detailing on the one side of the top that gives this top a feminine look. The fabric & style is so versatile that you can easily carry out in this summer & monsoon season.
I styled this top with my black tights & golden footwear to have minimal chic look for normal office get together or some special dinners. But this top can be styled in a numerous ways. You can pair with golden or black leather skirt for night parties; you can team up with white shorts or jeans for brunches to name a few.
The story doesn't ends here, this HOG brands have much more to offer you in different ranges ranging from tops, dresses, bottoms, blouse and etc that you should check out.
I hope you like my post. So, don't forget to let me know by commenting below.
Till my next post, stay fashionably fit.

OLDHAM town centre is continuing to grow in confidence with an impressive and growing range of new shops, restaurants and attractions for people of all ages.
If Marks & Spencer signing the deal to come to Oldham last November was a symbolic pointer towards a brighter future then T J Hughes' welcome return is another big boost to our morale.
For too long local people could only watch on helplessly in recent times as the town centre they knew started to change and the doom and gloom of decline set in.
As with many other towns, the new world of online retail, changing shopping habits and national economic pressures meant far too many stores were closing and leaving large gaps on our High Street.
I'm not trying to suggest that Oldham is sorted yet – not at all – but I do think there is enough happening now to give us all grounds for hope.
This all makes me think back to the time when I visited a small town on holiday and started speaking enthusiastically about it to a local resident.
I began the conversation by saying how envious I was of them having the view they enjoyed every time they open their front door.
But the conversation quickly turned into a busman's holiday as he began telling me all the problems he perceived with the place: from bins not being emptied to the water charges soon to be introduced.
I have the same perspective problem myself at times; and perhaps more than most given the job I do.
I too tend to notice the shop that has closed, rather than the surrounding units which are open. I also tend to notice the broken paving slabs, not the metres of perfectly finished surface I've just unconsciously strolled across.
Taking time to pause and reflect on that can be good for the soul. It gives you a clearer sense of perspective about what is good and clarity about what actually needs to improve.
Last week I joined the hundreds of folk who visited the re-opened TJ Hughes and – yes, after leaving with the mandatory Vax Carpet Cleaner (!) – thought to myself that I hadn't seen the shopping centre feel that busy for a long time.
TJ's are also not alone in showing faith is what is now happening in our town centre.
We've recently welcomed the likes of the Entertainer Toy Store, Warren James Jewellery, Pep & Co and Ethel Austin in joining our line-up of main brand shops – and that's as well as fantastic new independent retailers such as Suits Scoots and Boots.
The thing that excites me most though is when Oldhamers themselves set up shop here.
They know more than most people about our town centre and clearly many are recognising that something really positive is happening.
Right now we have potential clients literally queuing up for assistance to join the Independent Quarter – to the extent that we need extra staff just to deal with the enquiries and grant support.
Newly-opened restaurants like Jack's Smokehouse and The Smoke Yard are the latest additions heading what is going to be an impressive list of people who believe that now is the time to invest here.
I can also tell you that ahead of the opening next year of the Old Town Hall with its seven cinema screens we're getting some fantastic interest from national and local restaurant operators. Watch this space…
What I hope everyone will do in the meantime is to continue to get behind Oldham town centre and back it: from our indoor market with over 100 stalls, to the traditional outdoor market – and from our High Street to our Independent Quarter. And when people moan to you that "there's nowt in Oldham", please challenge them back.
We've already got big names like Debenhams, Next, River Island, H&M, BHS and others – and we're soon to welcome a new M&S.
The town centre is now clean and well cared for, it has improved facilities like our play area where you can spend family time – oh, plus up to three hours of free parking on weekends – so why not give us a go?
Thanks for listening,

Packaging is the art, science and technology of enclosing and protecting items, in our case, for shipping. Proper packaging is integral to the delivery of undamaged goods. Today, most packages are sorted and fed through high-speed conveyors and bar code reading systems.
Your goal is to protect the shipment from damage while conserving time and materials. This is achieved by using the smallest boxes and amount of packaging materials possible, while providing adequate protection in accordance with carrier guidelines. The guidelines in this chapter have been developed from service guides available from FedEx, UPS, DHL and USPS along with our own "hands on" approach. We will cover these guidelines in 3 parts; the final part we will cover is Sealing.
By far, the most popular method is packaging tape. This is available in different sizes and types. We recommend pressure-sensitive tape in 2" and 3" rolls. For heavier items you may choose to use "strapping tape" which is pressure-sensitive tape that is reinforced with yarn.
Common types of tape that should NEVER be used include masking tape, duct tape and cellophane (Scotch®) tape.
Water-activated tape is another popular product. This type of tape needs to be moistened (like an envelope) and then applied to the package. It is usually reinforced with fiberglass yarn and requires less coverage then pressure-sensitive tape due to its strength.
Sealing Instructions
1. Apply at least three strips of pressure-sensitive tape, at least 2" wide, to both the top and bottom of the package.
2. Distribute the tape evenly across flaps and seams, using the H taping method.
3. You must use pressure-sensitive tape, water-activated paper tape (minimum 60lb grade) or water activated reinforced tape.
Making sure your package is protected from movement and shock during transit will ensure that your package arrives safely. Make sure to call Goin' Postal Tallahassee at (850) 692-3130, visit us on the web at http://gpoftallahassee.com, or drive to our store at 5810 North Monroe Street, Suite 210A, Tallahassee, Florida, and we can help you package your items safely and cheaply!!!

Yes, it's a Lazy Susan! Whoever dreamed up the Lazy Susan was a genius. "Susan" has made our family dinners so much more pleasant and peaceful for all of us. Here's how she has changed our lives:
- no fighting over condiments, everyone uses one then puts it back for others
- everyone knows where the ketchup will be sitting (no more reaching over plates!)
- kids get to choose which condiment they like which gives them control over how their food tastes (GREAT for picky eaters!)
- less "upping and downing" from the usual multiple requests from the kids
- you can make the dinner as simple as you like, knowing that condiments will season everyone's taste!
- A Lazy Susan can be as fun or artsy or functional as you like - try looking at Etsy for inspiration.

Back pain is among the most frequently reported health problems in the world. New research published in Arthritis Care & Research, an official journal of the American College of Rheumatology and the Association of Rheumatology Health Professionals, examines patterns in back pain over time and identifies the patient characteristics and the extent of healthcare and medication use (including opioids) associated with different patterns.
The study included a representative sample of the Canadian population that was followed from 1994 to 2011. A total of 12,782 participants were interviewed every two years and provided data on factors including comorbidities, pain, disability, opioid and other medication use, and healthcare visits.
During the 16 years of follow-up, almost half (45.6 percent) of participants reported back pain at least once. There were four trajectories of pain among these participants: persistent (18 percent), developing (28.1 percent), recovery (20.5 percent), and occasional (33.4 percent).

We picked up gold awards and made it into the final four.
One of the things we were looking forward to when we opened was getting involved with Scottish Craft Butchers and entering the various competitions and product evaluations they run throughout the year. This can range from competitions on knife skills and innovation to awards for steak pies and sausages. We recently enjoyed some success...
In the "Ready to Cook" product evaluation we won Gold for our Stornoway Pepper Parcels, a seasoned burger meat cup filled with Stornoway black pudding and a creamy peppercorn sauce, wrapped in our own dry cured streaky bacon. We also received Gold for our Chilli Cheese Meatloaf, a seasoned pork and beef mixture flavoured with herbs, chilli jam and cheddar cheese. This has a mozzarella stuffed centre and is finished with a chilli jam glaze and grated cheddar cheese.
It's down to the hard work of all the staff that we can now call ourselves an award-winning butcher!
The awards were presented in Perth at the Scottish Craft Butchers Trade Fair. At the same event, we had Colin take part in Meat Skills Scotland 2017. The heats had been held a little over a month before and were open to anyone in Scotland to enter. Colin made it to the final four and had to work hard under pressure to put on a display using beef, lamb, pork, chicken…. and a little innovation. Unfortunately, he didn't win this time but did fantastic to reach the final four in the whole of the country.
We're also delighted to announce that we have Robbie Hughan starting with us in the Smiddy Butchery. Robbie is a qualified butcher and we're looking forward to putting his talents to good use!

Wardrobe Organisation Tips & Tricks
With Spring just around the corner, what better way to get ready for a spring clean than with these top tips and tricks from the lovely Jessica of Styling by Jessica
Organising your wardrobe may feel like total chaos when starting the process, however once you see the finished product... it's certainly time well spent and will make every day dressing that bit easier. It's amazing how many items you forget about because they have been buried. Being able to visualise what's in your wardrobe makes it so much easier to pull an outfit together, because if you can see it, you're more likely to wear it and that's where the organisation process comes in to it! To help you get started, I've shared a few tips and tricks on how to streamline your wardrobe...
Wardrobe cleanse - It's a great idea to clear out your wardrobe say, every six months - by that I mean take everything out and sort through it one by one as it goes back in. I've had so many clients tell me that their one main problem is having too many clothes, yet nothing to wear and that can be easily solved. Unless you wear every single item in your wardrobe (which most of us don't!), the chances are you simply do not need half of what is in there. Get rid of anything that isn't in good condition or doesn't fit as a start. It's all about out creating a selection of your key 'capsule' items and working out how you can style the rest of your items with these. If there are items you are unsure whether you should get rid of, put them in a bin bag, hide them away - if you don't access or remember them in several months time, they are to be moved to the sell/ donate bag. It works - trust me!
Storage solutions - Shop around for the best storage solutions to suit your individual wardrobe. Ikea is great for pop up shoe boxes and items like dividers to go create tidiness within drawers. For jewellery, stackers have a great range of jewellery boxes - they also look pretty too! Dust bags are perfect for keeping your shoes and bags in good condition. If I have items in a bag, I attach a kraft luggage style label so I alway know what's inside (if you're really sad like me you can colour co-ordinate per type of item)!
Seasonal items - Vacuum bags are ideal for when the season changes and you don't need your hefty great jumpers taking up vital space in your wardrobe or drawers anymore. If you know you won't need the item until the winter appears again, store them away - under a bed or in a cupboard for instance. Don't let items take up precious space in your wardrobe if they don't need to.
Rolling & folding clothes - The way you arrange your clothes is totally personal preference in accordance to your wardrobe. I would personally recommend rolling clothes (coming from someone with the worlds smallest wardrobe/ drawer space). This enables you to see all the items in your drawers without having to rummage through and mess up the neatly folded piles. There is definitely an art to both and it's amazing what tutorials you can find on YouTube. I'd highly recommend giving some a watch if you feel like your folding or rolling skills need brushing up on.
Shoe boxes - Lots of people use shoe boxes to store their shoes in. A great hack I saw on Pinterest is to take a photo of the shoes and stick it on the side of the box. I have several boxes under my bed and sometimes I can't remember last week (it's terrible!) let alone remembering what pair of shoes I put in what box a few months ago. It means you can easily identify what you are looking for and the same when you return the shoes to their correct place.
Hanging space - Velvet touch hangers are fabulous and a serious space saver (you can buy a 20 pack on Amazon for £11). Now don't get me wrong, wooden ones look lovely but are completely impractical at the best of times, especially if you are working with minimal rail space. The velvet style hangers are thin, have a great grip so clothing stays put and also come in a variety of colours. You can also buy multi-functional hangers for items like scarves and belts - or if you fancy a bit of DIY I have seen shower ring pulls used around a normal hanger. Equally a rail on the back of your wardrobe door is a great use for storing accessories and the day to day items you usually grab and go!
Most importantly, opening your wardrobe and deciding what to wear should not be a chore. Simplifying is certainly a first step in the right direction...
For any style hangups you many have... please feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or on social @stylingbyJE and I'd be pleased to help. X

I posted this on the October board too as I am a 10/1 due date but need all the insight I can get !!
Hi ladies I'm really needing some input on a current situation..
So i have 3 children right now ... 4, 3 & 2. My 4 year old is in pre -k goes to wrap around care at his school. My 3 and 2 yr old go to a sitter m-f.
I pay 92$ week for my 4 yr old and 300/week for the other 2. During the summer she would also have my 4 year old and I'd be giving her 400$. Once this baby gets here my 3&4 yr old would be going to kindergarten and pre-k .. I asked her if she'd be interested in coming to my house once school started (after I went back to work of course) to get the older two off/on the bus and then keep the younger 2. I told her by doing this I'd be able to give her what I'd give her for the 2 plus additional(425/week) for having the other 2 for 3 hrs a day on top of that. I'd be able to work an earlier schedule at my job and she'd get done earlier. She was all set and agreed to all of this
Then this morning she messaged me and said she found a new family who was going to pay her $500/week and that she took the job and was dumping us. Said it was happening in 3 weeks. So I of course immediately freaked out as finding quality care in my budget is not easy. I didn't freak out on her just you know in my head (lol) Not even a half hour after she told me this the other family called and told her they changed their mind. So she was all like I'm so sorry I swear this won't ever happen again I knew it was too good to be true. It wasn't even the money .. my fiancé was pushing me though bc of the money and then when you told me I had to come to your house I just kept thinking I was gunna be stuck all day long bc I don't have a big enough car for all the kids etc etc
So basically this long post is me trying to get insight on all of this... I'm extremely hurt that she would just drop us like that without even thinking how it would affect my life (I work 2 jobs just so I can afford my bills as it is) she's not exactly cheap but a center where I live is easily 230-299/kid a week. We've been with her for 9 months and before that she was a sitter for me on weekends. My kids love her and her son. But now I kind of feel like I've been "cheated on" and wonder if I'll always feel like she's going to drop a bomb on me and pull out. She swears she wouldn't after all this happened and says she will understand if I leave for all the stress she caused me. Says she will sign a contract etc etc...
What would you do?
I think you need to step back and be objective. She, like you, is trying to provide for her family and money is quite a motivator, especially an additional $400 a month, right? That's a car payment and then some. Try not to be reactionary. The relationship will be different until you're able to get over the feeling of betrayal which I totally get. It's like a relationship or family member and it hurts. I would be up front, tell her you understand her reasoning and that you were hurt by her abrupt actions. Tell her you feel like she is family and is the best person for your family. I don't think a contract is necessary but maybe a good idea for peace of mind, ya know? I wish I could help! Just my opinion :)
I told her I got that if she needed a change for her family I'd be the first one to understand. It just makes me upset that she gave me no notice and hit me with it out of the blue. And that she states up and down she's happy with her compensation and the situation. It all just feels like a lie. And it's a betrayal to me and my kids.
It would be that much if I went to a center. 292/week per child. So she can see my frustrations and initial freak out when I was faced with going from 300-584 a week plus various other registration charges etc. it's not cheap here by any means. But she is not certified and currently does it in her home and has her son. I think she's got a pretty sweet deal.
And I do take it personal when my kids are involved. They aren't just business. I also provide 100/week for food all diapers etc plus extra money for outings etc.
I don't know, I would shop around. Not only because she is looking for another setup herself, but because she would leave you high and dry with just three weeks' notice and no replacement. You don't have to tell her you are looking either, then there's no damage to the relationship if you do find someone better. Good luck!
I agree with the first person. She is just like you trying to make a living and she didn't drop the bomb on you she gave you three weeks notice. I understand why you are upset but if a better opportunity came by for you, you would make the best decision for your kids and your own family. She has a pretty sweet deal yes and so do you. I think it's important to remain grateful for each other and not to feel entitled as an employer when she's already being so accommodating. I would make a contract where she has to give you so much weeks of notice that you feel comfortable with. Then start saving money and have a plan b in daycares. Life happens and people move on and that doesn't make her betraying you. I hope you can take a step back and be understanding. Daycares will be always be there even when life happens for employees. So if you need concrete reassurance then plan on paying daycare prices. I'm sorry if this seems mean but I just read another post about another nanny being treated like a slave. I'm not saying at all you are mistreating her at all but you also don't own her. I wish you best of luck and I hope you can work it out with your nanny.
I completely empathize that she is trying to make a living. But the fact is we just spoke last Friday about the new baby, her compensation, location etc and she said great and agreed to it. I don't know if you have to deal with daycare etc but wait lists at centers are a real thing and can be months or longer. It's hard enough to find care for one child let alone 4. So in this type of a situation I would expect her to give at least a month. I would give her the same courtesy hence the reason I told her when I was 4 weeks pregnant so she has 8 months to prepare for a 3 month break. Of which I told her I'd still be willing to give her 150/week so as not to completely break her m. Instances like this I feel are very personal and can't be treated strictly as business. I don't mean to sound defensive bc I really do get that she is just trying to make a living ... but she knows my personal circumstances and knows how hard I work 60-70 hours a week to provide for my kids. Mainly I'm just hurt that she would just not consider that at all. And I can honestly say I would not just up and leave her if a better opportunity arose. Like say I found someone for 200$. I wouldn't just up and leave bc she depends on me like I depend on her.
Thank you! I don't want her to think I'm being spiteful but daycare is so hard to secure and I just don't want to always be wondering ya know! I'm a school district accountant and my busy time is starting here in the next 3 months so it's extra stressful. It's already going to be extra stressful that I'm due weeks before my audit(s- I have 3 districts) is supposed to be completed. I just don't need the extra stressor.
I think you are a very loyal person and that's amazing. I understand your hurt bc you would never do that to her but unfortunately it can't be personal. You have to think what's best for you and if you found someone cheaper and more reliable then she would have to understand that too. It's a delicate situation bc it involves your children. I have been in situations and I know it's hard. My mother in law (talk about personal!) Told me she could not watch my daughter anymore the day before my job became full time after months of training and classes. I was paying her fair wages (no favors) so this was a huge blow to me. My husband decided to quit his job one month early so I could keep mine. We had no choice bc she gave no notice whatsoever. It bruised us and we took a financial hit but these things happen. We got my daughter into daycare month later and my husband left to retrain. I just have learned to not rely on people and you do what you gotta do for your kids. I pray it works out for you and maybe sitting down with her and having a long talk will help you make your decision. In end it's your kids and only matters what you are comfortable with. :-)
I guess that's part of the deal when you use a nanny vs daycare. You may find cheaper childcare, but it is still her right to leave. Same with daycare. Teachers can quit when they like, but the center is then responsible for finding a replacement or substitutes until a replacement is found. At the end of the day, she gave you more notice than is standard for leaving a job. Sounds like you have options. You can keep her as a nanny and ask that she give you more notice if she ever needs to leave (although, she technically doesn't have to), or you can look for someone else. You found this nanny, there are others out there.
This is definitely a sensitive subject and I can see both sides of the coin. That being said I also look at business without emotions because emotions can cause a whole mess of things. If you choose to stick it out with your original girl I would definitely have a contract drawn up with everything under the sun included, vacation time, days off, pay, time for notice required before she were to leave, etc. If nothing else it provides you and your family with the security of her not being able to pick up and leave you high and dry. That being said I also feel shopping around is necessary. She must have been shopping herself when the other option came along which means she may not be as steady in the position as she seems. I would start at care.com. I believe they have to be CPR certified along with other various things. My sister found her nanny job through that site and I know her hiring process was about a month in total but she has been with the same family for 7 years now. I know these aren't exact solutions but this is what I would do if I were in your shoes! good luck!!
I think three weeks notice is perfectly reasonable. She was offered more money, and more freedom. It would be hard for anyone to turn that down. Would you turn down a raise and flexibility out of loyalty to your current employer? You'd only be expected to give two weeks if you quit. You said it would be hard to replace her with your current budget so even you know she's working for cheaper than she could.

Harare: Zimbabwe Cricket have sacked skipper Graeme Cremer and its entire coaching staff following an unsuccessful World Cup qualifier campaign. According to ESPNcricinfo, Brendan Taylor is likely to take over the team's leadership.
Head coach Heath Streak, batting coach Lance Klusener, bowling coach Douglas Hondo, fielding coach Walter Chawaguta, fitness coach Sean Bell and team analyst Stanley Chioza have all been asked to step down. Also, Zimbabwe A coach Wayne James and Under-19 coach Stephen Mangongo have been booted out.
"Further to our discussions, please give your technical staff (and yourself included) until 3 p.m. tomorrow to formally resign, after which the technical team can consider themselves dismissed and relieved of their duties with immediate effect," said Zimbabwe Cricket MD Faisal Hasnain, through an email sent to Streak.
However, Streak and his staff refused to resign on the principle that they did not consider their overall work a failure.
According to ESPNcricinfo, Streak conveyed his disappointment, saying, "For everything I have given Zimbabwe Cricket, as a former player and a coach, to be given an email with no full explanation or even the courtesy of a hearing is something I didn't expect," Streak said.
"I understand that every coach's tenure will come to an end, but we should at least have been given the chance to give our comments and ask some questions. I was looking to take the team to the World T20 in 2020."

Summer is almost here guys. Are you as excited as I am? I want beach. And with beach comes a lot of sunshine, so I like to wear a hat with a big brim to give me some shade. The Coal Huck Lifeguard Hat safeguards you from SPF on those searingly sunny days. These are the types of hats you see all the lifeguards wearing on the beach because they provide excellent protection.
The Coal Huck Lifeguard Hat is cute–I love the wave patch on the front that gives the hat a pop of color and style, super comfortable, and gets the job done. I love it for SUP'ing especially with the drawcord that won't let it blow away in a gust. It's great for every day stuff like gardening and hanging out on a summer pub patio. It's multi-purpose and kind of a must for summer. Find the Coal Huck Lifeguard Hat HERE.

|Verónica Santiago Moniello
Third-year MFA Dance Candidate
Folkwang University of the Arts
Her work deals with memory and the idea of birth, with antagonist subjects of resistance, utopian bodies and dreams. She is currently a M.F.A candidate in Dance making within the Dance & Theatre Program at UCSD - University of California, San Diego. Her most recent projects "The Implicit Self" and "Simultaneously Futura" are the result of her ongoing research "The Implicit Body Language" and "The Body that has Been Possessed" both awarded by Tinker Fellowships, CILAS "Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies & The Friends of California. Recently she has been also collaborating as creator with Emily Aust in "Foreground" and Yolande Snaith in "Measuring the Dream," this latter held at Calit2 (California Institute of Telecommunications and Information Technology). In collaboration with Lenka Bartunkova and Cansu Ergin, she was invited as choreographer to the first edition of "Fillimit" at the Korespondence Festival in the city of Zdar (Czech Republic, 2016). As part of her Graduate field research, she is also developing "Animal Vivo," (Alive Animal) a workshop-based practice formerly presented at "Fundación Andróginos" in Mérida, Venezuela. Alongside with Yolande Snaith and Katie Duck, she collaborated as improviser in the project "Girls at Work", while participating in "SussAges", an artistic laboratory formerly located at DCP-Discursive and Curatorial Productions at UCSD.
Verónica began her studies at the Contemporary Dance School "Piso rojo" and at the University of Contemporary Dance "Iudanza" in Venezuela. In parallel, she worked as a dancer in the companies Caracas Roja Laboratorio, The National Theater Company of Venezuela, Danza Hoy, Río Teatro Caribe and La Máquina Teatro. In 2004 she received a scholarship from "IAEM" (Venezuela) to continue her studies at the Folkwang Universität der Künste in Essen-Germany (2004-2009). During her season in Germany she worked with Felix Burkle, Samir Akika, Chikako Kaido, Leandro Kees, Rodolfo Leoni, Mark Sieczkarek and Orlando Rodriguez and participated in Pina Bausch's repertoire "Sacre du printemps". She participated also in European festivals, including "Drei wochen mit Pina Bausch" in Wuppertal-Germany. while directing her own pieces: "Passage", "Under", "First day" and "Lucrecia". In 2010 she moved to Mérida, Yucatán (Mexico,) where she collaborated with Tumáka`t Contemporary Dance Company under the direction of Vania Duran. There, she had the opportunity to join other choreographers such as: Luis Biassoto, Diana Szeimblum, Vladimir Rodríguez, Cecilia Colacrai, Angelle Herbert, Phillip Kraft and Fernado Melo. During the tour series produced by Tumáka`t, Verónica delivered frequent workshops and master classes in Latin America and Europe (2011-2015). In 2013, she was invited as creator in residence at "La Rendija" Theater Company (Mérida, Mexico). In response, she created "Dizziness" with Alexander Carrillo, a performance that was also presented at "LaborGras" (Berlin-Germany). During the same residence season she had directed "a_ereo" a dance & theater piece featuring dancer Pedro Zambra, which was performed in Mexico, Belize and Venezuela. Part of her curiosity is centered on the relationships between movement and unstable surfaces, conceived as structures of change, in order to generate sequences of movement. From this approach emerges the process of creation "En un lado, la casa" developed In Tumáka`t Dance Company, also included in the publication "Recetario Coreográfico" curated by Colectivo A.M. in Mexico. In 2014 she participated in the project "NOMAD: The Blue Road" organized by "Dance Monks" (Berkeley, CA, United States).
In 2017 Verónica creates Habitual, a platform-based studio that explores through collaborations possibilities of movement within contemporary cultural practices.

text: The Ceiling of the Legislative Council in the Parliament of Vict HomestoreBack to GalleryThere was a time when Melbourne was the wealthiest city in the world. In the mid 1800s, the discovery of Gold in Victoria triggered a gold rush. As the population of the state, and particularly, Melbourne, grew, the need for a form of government became evident. The locals adopted a Westminister-style two-house form of government, which in turn, led to the construction of a seat of the government and what is known today as Parliament House. The Legislative Council is the upper house of this government, and is located on the Southern Side of Bourke Street. Its decor is red – not unlike the Senate in Canberra. It was finished in 1856. Its ceiling is intricately decorated with a series of latticed recesses, and eight Angels – each atop each column. Between 1901 and 1927, Parliament House was home to the Commonwealth Parliament. It is still yet to be fully completed. Size Select a size Original (3317 x 2488): $29.99Hi Res (1920 x 1440): $14.99Low Res (1024 x 768): $7.99Web Size (640 x 480): $4.99 Download License (?)

I apologize, I didn't explain that very well at all.
I want to make the first name display as a link to an update/details page for that specific record (similar to the databridge user details page). However the update page needs to be for the kids_program_shifts table, not the user details, and the kids_program_shifts table would need to display the joined columns from its relational tables (kp_room, kp_time, kp_position)

Think cloud-based accounting is somehow "less safe" than having your data and programs stored on-site?
Think again.
How is cloud accounting data stored online?
The data used by and produced from your cloud-based accounting software is stored online. This is the defining feature of the program in comparison to traditional methods.
However, that doesn't mean it is just floating in the ether. Bellingham Wallace's chosen partner, Xero, has off-site physical data storage centres with dedicated servers. This is where your data is stored and drawn from.
How secure is this storage?
These data storage facilities combine both digital and physical security measures to keep your customer and financial data safe. In fact, Xero has security systems in place that are comparable to that of a bank.
"We design security into Xero from the ground up, using industry leading security technologies to protect our customers and their data."
Paul Macpherson, Head of Security at Xero, puts it simply:
"Protecting our customers' security is fundamental to our business and is one of Xero's strategic priorities.
"We design security into Xero from the ground up, using industry leading security technologies to protect our customers and their data."
Here's how:
Unauthorised digital access
The first line of defence is taking control of who can access your data and to what extent. When you sign up for cloud-based accounting services, you are effectively providing read-only access to your transactional information.
Think of it as a bank statement being pushed through to Xero in digital form. This does not grant any access to funds, and only those you invite can view and process your data within Xero itself.
Alongside the expected password protections that keep user access limited, Xero has also introduced an optional 2-step authentication. When you login, you will need to input a unique code that is provided through your mobile device, as well as your password.
This way, even if your password is compromised, an unauthorised user would need access to your phone or tablet as well.
Hacking and malware
All data coming to and from these data centres is encrypted. Were your data to be intercepted, it would be unreadable to those outside of the system.
Not that interception is likely in the first place, considering the high-level firewalls, multiple layers of network protection and system segregation that Xero data centres have in place. These are regularly updated according to new industry standards and existing threats, and even if one is breached, there is another hurdle in the way of a would-be hacker trying to get access to your data.
Theft and physical damage
But let's say an intruder takes a more old-school approach and decides to steal your data physically. In a regular business, this could be as easy as picking up an unguarded laptop or mobile phone.
Cloud-based accounting data isn't stored on these portable devices, and are instead kept safe and secure at the data centres, guarded by enterprise-level security systems and dedicated security staff.
"We feel that Xero cloud accounting software is more secure than traditional desktop systems."
Toby Bennett, part of the Bellingham Wallace team, is excited about cloud technology and what it means for his clients.
"We feel that Xero cloud accounting software is more secure than traditional desktop systems," he explains.
"They enable our clients to benefit from world class encryption and security features that would otherwise be unaffordable to most New Zealand small to medium businesses."
Disaster recovery
Damage to your data can occur in many forms, and theft is just one of them. In the interests of protecting your business against all comers, the cloud acts as a secure 'off-site' storage facility, which then has its own off-site backups too.
This keeps your accounting data safe from fire, floods, power outages and other disasters, both at your workplace and at the data storage facilities.
Add in the fact that backups are automatic, and you have an extremely robust defence against any kind of data loss.
As you can see, the idea that cloud-based accounting software is somehow less secure than traditional models is patently false.
In fact, in order to match the level of security you'd get with cloud-based accounting, you would need:
- secure premises,
- security staff,
- an off-site automatic backup server,
- high-level digital security software with inbound and outbound encryption,
- multiple segregated networks,
- dedicated anti-malware staff,
- regular security audits, and,
- multiple built-in user authentication methods.
To find out more, you can check out Xero's dedicated security information page.
Cloud-based accounting software isn't as safe as accounting models of the past. It's safer.
Xero is Bellingham Wallace's preferred accounting software solution. As of 1 April 2018, we will be using Xero to process our clients year end financial statements. If you have any questions or would like to explore your options further, please get in touch with Matt Smith or Toby Bennett by replying to firstname.lastname@example.com

I am soooo thrilled that the warm weather has arrived in Boston! Coral shades can work year round but it is especially appropriate this time of year. I always manage to work this color into my projects and life! I sold the idea of painting a powder room in the cheery shade to a client this past Sunday!

While potholes really can grab your attention, it's important you don't ignore shallow depressions in your parking and walking surfaces. Rain and melted snow can collect in those depressions and freeze to become "black ice," a popular term for hard to see slick patches. Even a good clearing by plow or shovel doesn't clear these depressions unless they are spotted by workers and treated directly.
These almost invisible sections of sidewalks and parking lots can be a source of slips and falls that could lead to substantial liability claims, especially if injuries are extensive or permanent.
Resurfacing and leveling these areas is usually a good investment in risk reduction, but don't wait until the weather turns too cold to easily make repairs. Always hire a professional, experienced asphalt paver to complete any paving or repair project.
As you notice shallow depressions in your current walkways or parking areas, mark them on a map so your maintenance crew knows where to pay special attention and where to place warning cones should you get a freeze after a rainfall or snow melt. Making known areas of trouble a priority in responding during cleanup will help manage your risk. Even that simple risk-mitigation plan can reduce your exposure to slip-and-fall liability claims this winter.

Laptop Organisations and Computer Structure aren't the identical termsIn literature of Laptop, Computer scientists usually make a distinction between these two let us outline computer organisation and Structure. For design, the Enthoo Professional seems to be superb as a gaming LAPTOP and could even slot in an office surroundings. The black exterior together with metallic brush on the entrance provides it a modern look that many find appealing. A lot of the interior is seen through the split window or in the event you choose a extra standard look you can get the model without the window. So as to add to the overall aesthetic, Phanteks has included a covered energy provide compartment. As you would possibly suspect, cable management is about as simple because it gets with the spacious design.

John's Note: To be a more-consistent hunter, you must know everything you can about the animals you hunt, and the other people who are trying to take those same deer. However, during the short span of time that deer season encompasses when the hunter can gather this information, his interest generally is distracted by his desire to take a buck. To gain this knowledge, the very best time of the year to scout is immediately after the season is over. The only disadvantage you'll have is you won't be able to harvest the animal after you've gained the knowledge required to find him. But what you've learned in the post-season will become extremely valuable in all the seasons to come. In my opinion, the single-most-important ingredient to a deer hunter's continued success is this wealth of knowledge he amasses about the sport in which he participates. One of the best ways to gain that knowledge is by scouting after the season for deer.
Once deer season ends, the woods are quiet. Gone are the hunters, their human scent and the noise of their weapons. Most of them are home by the fire watching TV, working in their basement or preparing for spring turkey season. In their absence, the deer once again have returned from their retreats of hunting season and resumed their normal feeding and movement patterns.
However, moving quietly and slowly among the trees, we may observe a tall figure dressed in camouflage. By looking closer, we determine that one lone hunter remains in the forest after the season. Through our binoculars, we study this silent stalker we assume to be a poacher at first. But through close observation, we see the man carries no weapons. Around his neck hangs a pair of rattling antlers and a lanyard that holds a grunt call. At his waist is a fanny pack, bulging with all types of gear. On the soles of his shoes is a string that's apparently attached to some type of deer scent container. What's this hunter doing in the woods, stalking deer with no weapon after the season? What does he hope to gain? Does he know something we don't?
As the man moves closer, I can see his camo-painted face under the bill of his cap. His eagle-like eyes scan the forest floor for the slightest movement. When he spots a white flash in the distance that may be the inside white of a deer's ear or the white swishing of a deer's tail, he quickly withdraws a small pair of compact binoculars from his shirt pocket and investigates what he's just seen. As I watch, I soon realize this man probably consistently has taken more trophy deer than any other outdoorsman in our area. To be more successful hunting deer, you must scout after the season.

Service Page, Word Count, nTopic and Tips
In this video I go over everything I done to build out my first service page. From here forward I don't go deep into the settings used in the Divi drag and drop interface as it has already been covered in detail within the previous videos.
Saving page layouts to the Divi Library is a great way to easily replicate pages on your website. Once a page is copied, all you need to do is change images and text and your page is complete, no designing or rebuilding required.
Treat each service page like you do your home page. These pages will rank in google eventually and you want them to convert just as well as your home page. To do this, you want to add call to actions, contact forms and make sure your phone number is easily accessible. nTopic is a great tool for optimising text but always remember you are writing to your audience, not to a computer.
- Visit the nTopic Website for text optimisation.
- Check out your page's wordcount.
Key Takeaways
- Services pages should stay as on topic as possible while answering any service related questions.
- Just like the homepage, create an above the fold call to action.
- Save your page layout to the Divi Library then reuse it to your hearts content.
- Using the global footer module allows you to save time building out your page and makes for easy sitewide changes.
- Every Keyword or phrase you are targeting with this page should be present in the text, image titles or Alt Tags.
- Use the main keyword you are targeting in your pages H1.
- Never copy text from other pages.
- Use unique images where you can.
- Add more content than your competition but avoid rambling to extent word count. Try make every sentence count!
If you get stuck or unsure about something, first check the comment section at the bottom of the page. If you can't find anything that helps, ask your question and I will answer it as best I can.

The Courage of Compassion/
I was raised in a family where self-denial was the norm, so it was a hard learn to put my needs first.
Well, saying that there was definitely a time in my teenage years (and my twenties/thirties come to think of it) that it was all about me – but that's another story altogether.
Learning to put my needs first came with a few caveats – firstly I had to believe that I was worthy to be first. And that one's a biggy because standing up for myself meant that:
- I was strong in my beliefs about why I was worthy
- strong in my values that I knew it was the right thing to do and
- strong in the desire to choose good things for myself, and not put up with the leftovers any more.
It's what has led me to doing the work I do.
Burnt Chop Syndrome
I have a friend who describes the role many choose when denying their needs as: "the burnt-chop syndrome" which unfortunately is often favoured by mothers in the rush to care for everyone else. The idea being that if something is 'not-quite-as-good-as-the-others', then mother will have it so as not to inconvenience anyone else.
Nowadays I call it 'martyr syndrome'.
Yes I know, other people besides mothers do this too – saints and preachers – but generally no one really wants to put their hand up for the burnt offerings. They're well … dry, chewy and tasteless.
Probably good diet material.
And this is often what I feel is happening when I work with someone to clear blockages that are stopping them from getting what they want.
In front of them are all their hopes and dreams laid out like a smorgasbord of fresh juicy produce, a literal cacophony of colour and harmonious textures that are so deliciously close to touch that their mouth has literally begun salivating.
Yet what happens while the mouth is readying itself for the gorgeous food and the mind is racing with hope and possibility the deep dark cavern of doubt begins to yawn – and once this happens, I can see the smorgasbord morph into burnt chops in front of their eyes. Tantalisingly close and prodigiously out of reach as road blocks are erected and hurdle heights increased while time spins out of control as a mother-load of overwhelm smacks them right in the face right in front of me.
It's tragic to see hope drain as all the 'reasons' for not doing something take ownership of the dreams.
I often feel as if I'm watching someone waking from a sleep when a dream is quickly sucked back into the subconscious from where it came. Sensed, yet not held. As if the dream wasn't really their's in the first place.
So if there was one way to take hold of that dream before it slips away, what would it be?
Because creativity is one of my 'things' – I let my pencil re-create the mirage – sometimes through words, sometimes through drawings, sometimes with paint – sometimes with nothing more than a walk in an inspiring place and time to breathe.
And that's because it comes down to the ability to see beyond the 'now'.
Mindfulness is a wonderful way of keeping ourselves present and connected in the now, yet for me adding some creative insight takes this and adds a whole new dimension to what's possible. It gives me time to dream in a way that the fragments of thought aren't lost on the periphery of my mind.
They're held gently and recorded in a way that holds meaning for me.
Creativity is not mindless colouring in to relieve stress. Creativity is not living on the edge and constantly tapping into a path that only a gifted few ever discover.
Creativity is a gift we all have. I believe that to be true for all of us, whether we use our creativity with pens, pencils and brushes or long walks into freedom from daily frustrations. Yet creativity takes courage – the courage to show up trusting that the process will guide our thinking and reveal even more possibilities and solutions.
We have courage to dream, the courage to hope it's all possible, all we need is the courage to put ourselves first and close the gap between dream and reality with a little more creative thinking.
It's this thinking that can ground us, guide us and give us even more of the good things we want to fill our lives with.
Because when we're not preparing to feast, then we're accepting the famine – and not stepping into the courage that it takes to move towards that which will make the ultimate difference in how you show up.
I get this, it's about trusting that you can run, that you won't fall flat on your face in the rush to prove yourself right and earn a place at that smorgasbord – and you know what? Sometimes you may fall, and your pride may feel hurt and the vulnerability of exposure may just make it feel like you want to crawl into a corner and never come out again.
And my question to you is – Who hasn't had this experience?
And just because there's the possibility that it may happen is that the reason to not do something?
If a child came to you with the fear of running in a race at the school athletics day because they may not win – what would you say to that young person?
- I'm pretty sure that you'd say it's not about winning, it's about turning up, it's about having a go, it's about doing your best, it's about knowing that you took the challenge – and if these are some of the things you'd say to someone else – then perhaps it's time you said them to yourself.
You see, this is about being vulnerable – and that means getting comfortable with being uncomfortable because in this space there are no absolutes – only uncertainty. And it depends on how much uncertainty you can cope with as to how much vulnerability you'll allow yourself to experience. Yet without a good muscle around this, is staying on the sidelines really a good option for experiencing life to the fullest?
Think of it this way, when you meet someone you usually 'put yourself in a good light' – would't you agree? Most of us do this – few really want to appear as losers, yet, as you get to know someone and they share what I call a 'stuff up' suddenly the tension is lowered and a greater connection to the person is found. If you've had this experience you know what I mean. It's like a 'you're real' moment and 'I get you' – and isn't it wonderful to know that on a human-to-human basis that sharing a 'stuff up' is more bonding than sharing an amazing 'win' that the other person may not relate to?
And do you know what this really is? Humility. The humility to be ok with ourselves, to know that we're not perfect, to not be hiding behind a veneer – it's about being ok that 'stuff ups' happen and it's these stories that endear us, not alienate us.
At its core, it's being real – and being open enough to show others our failings and our grit to keep moving even though the incidence may have been pretty humiliating.
As Brene Brown says when she talks about vulnerability: "We're not made to go it alone". And that means that sharing the journey – the good, the bad and the ugly – is what it takes to make it to the destination we so want to meet.
And so how can we integrate this thinking more into our lives? How can we trust ourselves to show up and play the roles we were meant to play?
If you're wanting more time to taste the life you want, and leave the burnt chop on its plate while you begin feasting on the smorgasbord, then come with me and discover more about what Creative Mindfulness may mean for you.
There's so much creativity to have in life - all it takes is saying 'yes' to you.
