Quoting print. 7 things a designer needs to know from a client.
Tight print deadlines and the need to just 'get the job out' often leads to jobs being rushed out nowadays. Spending a little more time thinking about the job in hand, will help the finished piece look so much better. The additional planning will, counter-intuitively, also help the job progress quicker and more smoothly.
Here are 7 things a designer like me needs to know, or at least discuss in order for a print job to progress:
Seems simple, but it can dictate how it's printed. A simple flat sheet poster up to A3 can easily be digitally printed. Anything larger will need to be inkjet printed (think exhibition graphics) or printed on a lithographic press as digital printers sheet sizes generally only go up to A3+.
Also bear in mind flat size versus finished size. For example an A4 brochure is the finished size, but the spreads opened out make the flat size A3. A concertina folded piece of print may have a finished size of A5, for example, but if it has more than three panels, it will take the flat size over the maximum sheet size for a standard digital printer.
The number of copies of your piece of print you require. It's generally more economical to print a larger quantity. As you go up in quantity, the cost per unit (each poster, brochure, flyer etc) will come down.
The cost for printing on a digital press will work fine up to around the 1,000 quantity mark. Beyond that, it may be worth looking at litho print.
The great thing about digital print is that it's great for low numbers, as you don't have the set up charge of making printing plates. You can print 5 or 10 or something straight from computer to printer. The turnaround time is also shorter with digital print (2 to 3 days) whereas litho requires at least 5 days.
Digital printers can work with paper/card up to around the 350gsm mark. In terms of paper types, there are lots of varied coloured, textured, metallic and translucent paper stocks out there. However, for general 'every day' print, they would fall into the categories of uncoated or coated (silk or gloss). You can also choose 100% recycled paper and FSC certified paper (a promise that the forests the trees come from to produce the paper will be renewed and the environment protected).
Ask for our advice on paper stocks – digital printers nowadays can even do funky things like print white ink on coloured stock … lovely!
Both litho and digital print use the CMYK method of printing (all colours created from varying mixes of cyan, magenta, yellow and black). However, as I mentioned above, some digital printers (who we can recommend) can print white ink too.
Litho print has the advantage of being able to use special 'spot colour' inks such as Pantone colours, including metallic inks. Some colours (such as yellows and oranges) show a marked difference in colour between their CMYK and Spot versions, so you may choose to print 5 colours (CMYK + a spot) for an awkward orange, especially if it's your brand colour.
For exhibition graphics, inkjet printers use the CMYK colour route, but you can sometimes add brighter colours or metallics with vinyl material, for graphics applied to walls, vehicles etc.
Wiro binding, stitching ('normal' brochure type stapling), perfect binding (like books), actual stitching, using cotton or thread, or using metal clips or bolts.
You can add interest to a piece by folding it differently. Think French folds, concertina folds, roll folds and gate folds (we're happy to advise or show you how some of these work).
With both digital and litho print, you may want to think about special finishing techniques to add something extra to your printed job
Die cutting
Cutting or punching shaped holes into the paper or making your booklet or poster a different 'non-straight-edged' shape.
Embossing or debossing
Making a shape, text or a texture look slightly raised or indented into the paper.
Foil blocking
Coloured or metallic foil is pressed onto the paper in specified areas (think shiny silver or gold, or you can achieve subtle techniques such as gloss black foiling on a matt black paper stock).
Gloss, matt, satin, or velvet varnishes can add texture, shine or dull-down areas of a print piece to add effect.
Machine sealing
Where a full coating of gloss, matt, silk or velvet can be applied to full pages or covers. These can help seal heavy areas of ink in, to stop them marking other lighter pages they sit against. They can also help stop fingerprints, especially on the covers of brochures or books.
This should really come at the start of the job. All too often I'm asked by clients to provide a quote for the design work and the print at the same time – before I've even designed anything.
I'm aware business owners & marketing managers need to sign off budgets etc before starting work. This is fine for a standard four-colour poster or flyer, but every now and then it would be interesting to add some special techniques into the design, which will only become apparent during the first design stage – and therefore difficult to quote for at the start.
A way forward would be to quote for the standard print piece, as a guide, at the start and then re-quote (if necessary) during the design process.
I'd love to help you with your next print job (on both the design and print front!), so please do get in touch.
WithPrint, based just outside Weston-super-Mare are an experienced digital print supplier I work with on a regular basis. Working in conjunction with them, we're able to offer a sampling service. So, if I design a potential piece for you, we can see how the finished thing will look before printing the full run.

Want to feel more empowered in 2017?
Resolve to take care of yourself! (2 of 2)
In my first post, we discovered why the foundation of self-empowerment is with personal self-care, that is, care provided for you, by you. Here we will explore four specific resolutions that can start you on a path of personal empowerment now.
#1 Resolve now to be Mindful
The first place to start is by paying attention to our daily lives by pausing to take a breath and turning off our "automatic pilot". Bringing awareness to our experiences through the practice of paying attention to our present moment in a non-judgmental curious-to-learn way allows us to consider all options and empower ourselves to choose our next priority. Whether applied while eating, working, activity, sleeping or living, mindfulness truly allows us to cultivate self-awareness. Asking ourselves "just why am I doing this now"? Answering honestly and making a non-judgmental real choice about continuing is empowerment. Mindfulness teaches us that each experience is an opportunity to practice and learn from, a prerequisite for enhanced personal growth and empowerment.
#2 Resolve to balance your Nutrition
Nutrition has a huge impact on both physical and mental health and is consequently vital for empowerment. Energy, weight, illness, sleep, activity, stress and mood are all linked to balanced nutrition. Diet plays a vital role in concentration, analytical skills, alertness, focus and productivity - key drivers of confidence, self-esteem and well-being. Imagine combining mindfulness resolution #1 here and getting into the habit of asking ourselves "am I hungry?" or "what do I really need?" before choosing to eat. Might this empower us to approach our nutrition differently? Proper nutrition is also crucial for the other self-care resolutions!
#3 Resolve to get regular Physical Activity
There is overwhelming evidence that people leading active lifestyles are healthier, sleep better and are more likely to live longer. Regular activity not only improves physical fitness but also improves mental health, mood, stress levels and our general sense of well-being. In my experience, a regular exercise routine often compels people to approach fitness in a more holistic fashion, leading to a healthier lifestyle in every way. This subsequently allows us to take full charge of our personal well-being on all levels. All of this leads to improved self-image, a sense of pride and feeling empowered in one's choices. Once again, resolutions #1 and #2 can help us in our choices about activity…not just moving to move, but choosing to move (or not!) because of how it makes us feel right now.
#4 Resolve to prioritize Sleep
Brain (cognitive) functions including the ability to concentrate, pay attention, react quickly, be creative, innovate, solve problems and make decisions are all less effective when we're tired. Insufficient sleep can also lead to a greater appetite which, in turn, can increase the likelihood of becoming overweight or obese. Lack of sufficient sleep makes us more susceptible to stress, more likely to suffer from depression and tends to make us more emotional, irritable, grumpy and short tempered. In short, lack of sleep slaughters empowerment. Resolutions #1, #2 and #3 can all help us sleep better. Mindfully prioritizing sleep or relaxation, eating well to promote better recovery and exercising regularly to keep our sleep hormones in balance all feed into my full empowerment concept.
Now what?
So, having gone through these four resolutions, have you discovered where are you stuck? Do you know which resolutions will help you thrive and feel empowered now? I sincerely hope that this has helped you make a plan for 2017 and that you now know what to do. The only question remaining, is will it actually motivate you to do it? If you are honest with yourself and discover that you need that nudge to empower you from knowing to doing, make 2017 different! Reach for the support and accountability to prepare for an amazing new year, beginning with YOU!

- Standing Committee
- Resourcing Committee
- Education and Equipping Committee
- Pastoral Relations Committee
Each of these Committees meets at regular intervals during the year. These Committees deal with most of the business of the Presbytery and bring recommendations and motions to the full Presbytery Meetings.
Committees meet on dates nominated by the Chairperson of that committee. They work through the details of business, deal with any correspondence, and prepare reports & recommendations for the presbytery meetings. Committees may need to hold extraordinary (special) meetings should urgent matters for immediate attention arise. Committees have the right to act on behalf of the Presbytery, if the business cannot wait for scheduled Presbytery Meetings.
Task Groups are sometimes formed and these groups meet on dates nominated by their convenor and may also call special meetings of their groups if necessary to meet emergent situations.

Just Me Thinking Out Loud is a collection of simple thoughts written by me 46 years ago. The words and inspirations first came to me while I'm off to work, listening from songs on my car radio. Songs that had a beginning and end but no in between. These were songs that sold millions. I said to myself I could do better. After that, life around me became a script, no matter what subject it was, I kept notes. From home to work, from work to fun time, there were always a part of life that stood out in my mind. From morning to night and night to day my mind was always wondering. Love to hate, breaking up to making up, religion to politicians, people who are real and those who are not in the world we live in. Times hasn't changed from the 1970s to the 2000s, people are still the same. I hope people of all types can relate and identify to any of the situations.
Until now, this script had been typed in a notebook and put away in a briefcase in my closet. One day, my sister Veronica remembered me, she loved and admired what I had written, so I decided to gift her with it on Nov. 04, 2017. After reading through it, she decided I should publish it, so she made it her duty to do just that, so I dedicated this book to her.
The title "Just Me Thinking Out Loud" was one of the seven thoughts that I had written down. By transferring my visions to paper, I'm just thinking out loud.
Born in Atlanta, Georgia, I came to California when I was 5 years old and grew up in E.L.A. (East Los Angeles). I went to elementary, Jr. High and High School (Roosevelt). There were my father, mother, nine sisters and four brothers. Together we formed a family of sixteen. We lived in the Estrada courts projects and went through the good and bad times but we always had lots of love for each other.
I never claimed to be an author (writer) but when I think too long, things seem to come out of my pen on paper. This is all about life's journey and my visions of it. So, jump on my fantasy train and enjoy my brain. Hope you like the trip, It's just me Thomas F. Gibbs.
I do love Karaoke "Just me, singing out loud".

1. Gunnar gets a tummy ache when I drink orange juice. (Bad mommy choice before plane ride)
2. It is possible for baby to fall asleep on his tummy, on my lap, in cramped plane seat (who knew?)
3. Fingers work as well as the breast for sucking when ascending and descending on a plane.
4. When Gunnar is upset or overwhelmed it is best to talk to him in a high pitched voice, otherwise he will cry real tears (NOTE to ALL men...learn the art of falsetto speaking voice to please G)
5. Florida is still hot.
6. Gunnar is huge! (When compared to Stella his girlfriend, born 3 weeks after him...pics soon)

Ugh, I am packing for my own Florida trip and fitting into NONE of my old T-shirts. They're all Ann Taylor XS or SP. So depressing to think those days are probably permanently gone.ReplyDelete
I've completed 8 flights with Matthew, so 16 take-offs and landings, and never once needed to nurse him (or have him suck on anything). Now I just knocked on wood... but I really think it's not necessary at all.

Every year downtown Honolulu gets a visit from Santa and his Hawaiian friends at the annual Honolulu City Lights Celebration. 2008 marks the 24th year of this tradition, where you will see the many wonderful characteristics and uniqueness of the people of Hawaii and their island home. The theme of the lights this year is "Ku'u Home - Our Home" - where Honolulu is highlighted and displayed as a special place where diverse cultures intertwine, where history blends, and where the Spirit of Aloha is embraced and shared with families, friends and visitors.
The City Lights Celebration will continue now through the end of December, so if you are heading to the Islands for the holidays, be sure to head downtown (in the evening for the best look) to witness this special display. For more information visit the website.

By Mark Clark
When LaGrange College women's basketball coach Lee Buchanan finished his fifth season as the leader of the West Georgia school, he knew what he needed to help improve his squad. He thinks he has found that player in Central High's Kayla Davis.
Davis signed with the Division III college program last week in a ceremony in Central High's auditorium.
"She visited and worked out for us. We see her as a slashing guard. She shoots the jump shot over her head. She has good speed. I think she will be a good player at the next level. She fills a spot that we needed to fill. We had a need for guards, but we really needed Kayla for more reasons than that," Buchanan said.
Buchanan said when he evaluates a player; he uses the A-B-C method. If a potential player can meet the ideals required by the method, he wants to recruit that player.
"When I recruit, I think about the A-B-C method. We want players with A, academic ability. We want players with B, basketball ability. We want players with C, great character. Kayla meets all three of those requirements. She represents well on and off the court," Buchanan said.
LaGrange College is a Division III school in the USA South Conference. In each of the past five years, Buchanan's teams have competed to be among the top two or three teams in the conference. The school's success was one of the reasons Davis chose LaGrange College, but it was not the only reason.
"The coaches made me feel welcome. They told me they wanted me and needed me. They say I can make a difference every game for them. It is a big relief to get the recruiting over with and sign today. I am looking forward to playing for them," Davis said.
Davis said her hard work had paid off by earning the scholarship. She credited her family, friends and coaches for helping her see the opportunity to play college basketball come about.
"Kayla is going to do well for LaGrange College. They are getting a very good basketball player and a very good person. She worked hard this past season. She had to play inside for us, but will play guard for them. I think it is a good fit," Central coach Carolyn Wright said.

Can You Say "I Told You So"?
My sister has been hanging out with a bad group of people, and now she is going to go out driving with some of these boys. She's my younger sister, so after she told me this, I threatened to tell our dad if she went. She then decided to stay home.Later on that night, we find out that the car of people got into an accident and my sister's best friend almost died. As her older sister, should I just let the situation go like nothing happened, or should I tell her I told her so? I care a lot about her and I want to make sure my intentions are in her head, but I also don't want to make her have negative feelings toward me.
Scared in Mississippi
Dear Scared,
I am so happy to hear that your sister is okay. You should be proud of yourself that you obviously had a very direct impact on your sister's welfare.
I can understand that you feel protective over your younger sister, and I commend you for taking the initiative toward keeping her safe. I can see that you would be tempted to bust out an "I told you so" – anyone would. However, you have to understand that your sister (who I assume is a teen) is in a rebellious stage right now. Telling her "I told you so" will only make her more inclined to resist rules. Teenagers generally don't have thoughts like, "My big sister was right before, so I should probably listen to her." They think, "There is a party tonight, and I want to go. I don't care what anyone says."
The best option for you at the moment is to continue with the way you've been going. If you like, check in with her about this recent incident. Say something like, "Do you understand now why I didn't want you hanging out with that group of people?" If she does, then try to get some kind of agreement from her that she'll be spending more time pursuing friends of a higher caliber. If she argues with you and says this accident wasn't their fault, then be prepared to make more threats to be going to your parents with this information in the future. But for now, lay low.
Keep in mind that your sister is primarily looking for two things in her life right now: attention and acceptance. She will rebel against anything that distances her from either of those two qualities. Encourage her to join you and your friends if they're doing something cool. Bring her to the mall to go shopping. Accentuate the positive, and perhaps she'll stop spending time with negative people.
Best of luck.
Feel free to email me at email@example.com with any of your questions! Have a great weekend!

The wild flowers that we put in earlier in the summer never really took off. Some did, but it wasn't the "holy cow calling all bees" I had expected. Today I re thought that bed.
The new plan is to fill it in and stock it full of all things medicinal, and perennial.
The first stop was to chop down all the growth, as close as the mower could. This disadvantages the sod as much as possible, and acts a bit like a highlight when tilling.
Next I ran through and busted up all the sod. Then I settled in and dug it deep. About a foot.
Once it was dug, in went 24 yarrow to start out. In he next couple of weeks purple cone flower will be joining it. Any space left over will get buckwheat until spring.
That's all there is to it. I must admit the rototiller is kind of growing on me. Had I dug this by hand it would have taken most of the day.
I will keep researching because I know there is a method to rototilling that alleviates some of the pitfalls.
Until next time…

A shifting sense of time, space, and place can bring huge advantages to fantastical works of fiction.

This sheen is the absolute embodiment … Continue reading Red Shift (Play For Today, 1978) – John Mackenzie (BFI).

NAIROBI, Kenya (CNS) — When Kenyans go to the polls to elect a president Oct. 26, nuns from the Association of Sisterhoods of Kenya will be prominent as poll observers. The sisters already have spent hours in voter education for the repeat election, set up after the nation's Supreme Court nullified an August vote.
The bishops' conference plans to station close to 1,500 observers nationwide, including 71 sisters. The Catholic body also plans to have a tallying center where the observers will report back all irregularities.
The Association of Sisterhoods of Kenya, which organized 37 sisters to monitor the voting and tallying processes in the Aug. 8 election, has trained an additional 18 election observers in Garissa County, a remote region in northeastern Kenya bordering Somalia. The observers, who are accredited by Kenya's Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, are charged with helping to verify that the elections are free, fair and credible.
The Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops "is training election observers across the country in all the Catholic dioceses in Kenya, and they allocated AOSK to train in Garissa because we have a base of sisters there," said Incarnate Word Sister Mary Magdalene Kanini, country coordinator of the Kenyan sisterhood's justice and peace commission.
Pope Francis and other world leaders have called for restraint as tensions mount. In protests that followed the 2007 presidential election, more than 1,100 people were killed and 660,000 were displaced, according to Amnesty International.
The biggest point of concern for Sister Kanini and others in the Association of Sisterhoods of Kenya in the August election was the 400,000 rejected votes, a number four times higher than any vote in the country's history. In nullifying the election, the court cited irregularities ranging from possible hacking to improper verification of results, so the sisters decided to educate the electorate on the voting process to ensure few votes are rejected in the repeat election.
Sister Kanini noted that the country failed to sufficiently educate voters prior to the Aug. 8 polls, but that the sisters have tried to make a small dent in Kibera, Africa's biggest shantytown, a sprawling network of rusting roofs slung haphazardly across small mud alleyways on the outskirts of Nairobi.
Kibera is a stronghold of the opposition, and the area most affected by postelection conflict following the announcement of incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta's win in the August election. His opponent, Raila Odinga, has withdrawn from the race, claiming the unfair election system has not yet been corrected. Odinga called for his supporters to protest the Oct. 26 election.
"I was an observer in Kibera, and I saw very many people who didn't know how to mark the ballot paper," said Sister Kanini.
"There were well-dressed fellows in suits, looking well educated, who would come to the polling station and tick on their favorite presidential candidate and go ahead to cross off the other candidates," Sister Kanini said. "It means they don't understand how it is supposed to be done." Crossing off unwanted candidates invalidates a vote because it equates to marking more choices than permitted.
A week before the October vote, Sister Kanini and Sister Josephine Muthoni Kwenga, a Sister of St. Joseph of Tarbes, boarded a motorcycle taxi to a school in the slum, where they worked to educate voters. They came equipped with a Civic, Voter and Peace Education Handbook co-developed by the Kenyan bishops' justice and peace commission and other partners in peace development.
"When you go to the polling station, you will receive only one ballot paper, because this repeat election is only for the president, unlike the Aug. 8 election, where you received six ballot papers," Sister Kwenga explained to a group of more than 100 young men from Kibera. "I saw in the Aug. 8 general election people who had a lot of anger toward one presidential candidate, and they would cross off his name, then tick their favorite candidate. Please don't do that in this election because, if you do that, your vote will be spoiled and will not count."
Sister Kwenga also explained to the residents that they are eligible to use three ballot papers. If they make a mistake, they can always go back and ask for another. She demonstrated how to mark a ballot correctly and what to avoid, telling them the more than 400,000 rejected votes would have made a big difference in the final results of the August general election.
Masese Robert, a voter and resident in Kibera who acknowledged the lack of civic education before the last general election, says what the sisters have done will go a long way in ensuring a lower number of rejected votes.
Shadrack Mukwana, also a voter and resident of Kibera, was worried the high number of rejected votes in the August poll was a creation of the electoral commission as a ploy to reduce votes in opposition strongholds like Kibera.
"How can almost half a million Kenyans not know how to vote," Mukwana asked. "The majority are educated, and it's a matter of marking in the box of the candidate of your choice. I don't believe in the high number of rejected votes. I think (the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission) wanted to reduce votes in opposition strongholds."

The new British-built Vauxhall Vivaro is coming – more practical, more efficient and more appealing than ever before.
The second generation combines the functionality of a light commercial vehicle and the benefits of an office on wheels with the comfort and design appeal of a passenger car. Its predecessor is already a popular and enduring player in the European light commercial vehicle market, with almost 600,000 units built since its market launch in 2001.
With around 50,000 vehicles sold per year, the Vivaro currently accounts for around ten percent of sales in its segment (Van D), making it the top performer in Vauxhall/Opel's LCV portfolio.
Now the new, second generation Vivaro, coming to market this summer, is set to continue building on this success.
It has everything it takes to succeed: its diverse variants are now longer, enabling increased load capacity, and its cabin features state-of-the-art IntelliLink infotainment technology with user-friendly navigation, as well as equipment details which quickly and easily transform it into a mobile office. The new Vivaro is also extremely economical: under its bonnet are all-new turbo diesel engines which offer reduced fuel consumption as low as 49.5mpg, with CO2 emissions down to 149g/km (preliminary data) – best-in-class values that also impact favourably on owners' wallets as well as the environment.
"The Vivaro is in a fiercely competitive market, and today's customers require more from a light commercial vehicle than ever before," said Steve Bryant, Brand Manager, Vauxhall Commercial Vehicles. "The British-built Vivaro looks set to further strengthen our position in the light commercial vehicle market."
Two diesels, four output levels: Newest turbo technology for the Vivaro
Advanced propulsion technology makes the new Vivaro an economical and powerful all-purpose van. Two all-new turbo diesels, offering a choice of four output levels, ensure fast acceleration even when the Vivaro is fully loaded. The engine portfolio comprises a 1.6 CDTi with 90PS and 115PS, as well as the sophisticated 1.6 BiTurbo CDTi with sequential turbocharging and a twin-cooler system giving 120PS and 140PS. Featuring twin turbochargers, this engine combines excellent performance with high fuel economy. The new turbo diesel units' fuel consumption decreases in the combined cycle by over one litre, with the BiTurbo's dipping to as low as 49.5mpg with 149g/km CO2 emissions (preliminary data). This gives Vauxhall's new all-purpose van best-in-class economy. And for those who want even more, a special 'eco' driving mode can be activated to deliver still greater fuel savings.
The new Vivaro also provides plenty of power. From just 1,500rpm, the 120PS BiTurbo generates impressive maximum torque of 320Nm, while the 140PS variant delivers 340Nm.
Extensively equipped model range
The new Vivaro range comes with a high level of standard equipment, providing the market with a great value-for-money vehicle.
The panel van comes in two equipment levels: Vivaro and Sportive. The Sportive variant includes colour-coded bumpers and exterior mouldings, LED Daytime Running Lamps, front fog lamps and an up-level chrome-accented grille to the Edition trim, providing customers with an excellent first impression of your business. Inside, the dark carbon dashboard matches the leather-trimmed steering wheel and chrome-effect accents applied to instruments, the gear shifter, cabin door release and speaker that blend together to give a more prestigious cabin environment.
Seats are trimmed in the embossed Tricess fabric and the office bench seat and Flexcargo Bulkhead are standard for increased functionality. Standard air conditioning, a double DIN tuner/CD, cruise control, and Park Pilot complete the package.

West Wind Collector will be running for the second time on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10
December. West Wind Collector is an independant market organised by the makers themselves to show their work, in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. It is a curated event that includes exciting works from some of Melbourne's freshest talents - the aim is to create an intimate environment where you can grab a coffee and chat with the makers themselves to hear the story behind their products.
West Wind Collector focuses on handmade and locally produced objects and is the perfect way to find unique and original gifts for loved ones, whilst giving visitors a glimpse of Melbourne's maker scene. At this market, you will find ceramics, jewellery, homewares, skincare products, illustration, comics, plants and fashion. There will be originals, samples and one-off wares and a section of comic artists to presenting their latest hand drawn zines and comics.
"This started from a small backyard market advertised to our followers on Instagram, now it's grown into this amazing Christmas market at the Abbotsford Convent, it's so picturesque there, the space is incredible so we are very lucky" - Zibby Aitken-Valtenbergs
'The idea behind this market was born out of a wish for myself and a group of artist friends tocreate an event that aligned with our values and best represented melbourne's creative community. The response and support we've received from our first event was overwhelming and definitely encouraged us to renew this great initiative.' - Lucile Sciallano

Acute otitis media (AOM) is the inflammation of the middle ear secondary to viral or bacterial infection. This disease is more prevalent in young children, especially those with risk factors. It is diagnosed based on the clinical presentation, history, physical exam including otoscopy, and appropriate testing when necessary.
AOM occurs most predominantly between the ages of 3 to 18 months as it commonly affects children 2 years or younger [1]. Moreover, some children are prone to developing recurrent episodes.
Neonates with AOM present with irritability and/or trouble with feeding. Older children with this condition typically have fever, ear pain with ear tugging, conductive hearing loss, and possibly an upper respiratory tract infection (URTI). Other possible symptoms include nausea, emesis, diarrhea, and signs related to URTI. Note that hearing loss is common in both children and adults with AOM as well as otitis media with effusion (OME). Hearing does eventually recover [2].
In cases with tympanic membrane perforation, exudative discharge leaks out for a day or two and the pain quickly subsides.
Risk factors
It is important to consider the risk factors when evaluating the patient. These include prematurity, low birth weight, immunosuppression, allergies, exposure to tobacco and environmental pollutants, colder climates, low socioeconomic status, positive family history, and certain racial backgrounds (such as Native Americans). Children with craniofacial defects and neuromuscular disease may be predisposed as well. Finally, pacifier and bottle use, prone sleeping position, and daycare attendance are other contributing factors.
Physical exam
Notable findings suggestive of inflammation on pneumatic otoscopy include an erythematous tympanic membrane, purulent or serosanguinous effusion in the middle ear, and decreased mobility of the tympanic membrane. Bulging of the membrane is also observed.
To establish the diagnosis, the clinician will evaluate the patient's clinical manifestations, history, and risk factors. Also crucial is the physical exam including otoscopy. Testing may be warranted in some cases as explained below.
According to clinical practice guidelines set forth by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians [3], diagnostic criteria include the presence of tympanic membrane bulging, recent onset of otorrhea (in the absence of external otitis media), middle ear effusion, and ear pain or tugging.
Tympanocentesis is performed through piercing of the tympanic membrane and aspiration of the contents. This procedure is indicated in infants less than 6 weeks of age since AOM in this age group may be attributed to unusual organisms. Additionally, patients with failed treatment or signs indicative of sepsis should undergo this procedure. Finally, some patients will need a culture to determine the appropriate management, especially with the emergence of antibacterial resistance hindering treatment [4].
Computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are obtained if complications are suspected.

Christmas in June
I had these two stamps that I bought at Michaels last year and didn't really know what to do with them until this year when I saw a card on Pinterest that had glossy blue paper with gold embossing on it. I thought I would try that with these stamps but also use glossy green paper as well:
I like how the blue and gold go together and make such a quick, easy card.

Agape Village experience introduces confirmands to Catholic social teachings
Confirmands participate in a skit about the dignity of work.
By Jeanette Tan
Some Saturday mornings at Agape Village are a hive of activity and noise.
Buses pull into the Agape Village compound where a line of eager facilitators welcome up to 75 secondary catechism teenagers as they pour out.
They're initially awkward and shy, because they come from different parishes, but they all have a common objective:
receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation.
This is where Agape Village comes in – a Caritas Singapore initiative, it is home to 14 of Caritas Singapore's member organisations.
The Agape Experience is a slightly-more-than-half-day affair, which introduces confirmands to the concept of social mission, its spirituality, and also the Catholic welfare organisations that serve and partner with Singapore's poor and disadvantaged.
Led by Franciscan Friar John-Paul Tan, a board member of Caritas Singapore, the team of trained volunteers gives teens an immersive encounter with Catholic social teachings like the dignity of the human person, the call to preserve and protect the environment, as well as the dignity of work.
The Agape Experience programme started in February 2016 and is offered to all parishes.
This year, 21 parishes have sent confirmands for the programme.
According to Caritas, the aim of Agape Experience is to reach out to youth through Catholic social teachings so they may be inspired to live it out in their lives and give back to society.
Confirmands work on a team-building challenge as part of the Agape Experience programme.
The day starts with prayer, praise and worship, and games. The teens are placed with participants from other parishes in groups to help them warm up to one another.
There are role-play scenarios performed by the teens themselves, who take on various characters they might know or meet in daily life such as a sick grandparent, a domestic worker, or a strict parent. These scenarios invite both the actors and their friends, the audience, to dialogue, which leads to greater understanding, appreciation and empathy.
After lunch, the teens venture around Agape Village to learn more about the various Catholic social teachings in practice.
Volunteers explain the work and mission of some of Caritas' member organisations such as Abilities Beyond Limitations and Expectations (ABLE), Society of St Vincent de Paul (SSVP), Family Life Society and Boys' Town.
This also introduces the teens' to various facilities available for anyone whom they might know to be in need and who could possibly benefit from them.
The day concludes with a reflection that invites the teens to discern their personal social mission from God, and to inspire them to live it out in their lives.
Teens who attended one of the programme sessions shared their experience.
Genevieve Fong, 16, from the Church of Christ the King, said that she learned "that the youth play a very big part in the future of the Church, because we are the new generation. If we don't do anything, who will?"
She added, "It touches me that there are more people in society than I thought who are willing to help the many people in this world who are in need ... ABLE's mission, in particular, touched me the most because it rehabilitates the physically challenged and helps them realise they are no different from anyone else."
Raphael Pek, 15, from the Church of St Michael, said, "Today's session was eye-opening for me – it reminded me that there are others who are less privileged than me, and that it is possible to help them through volunteering and praying for them."
He said that he intends to volunteer with SSVP after confirmation.
Samantha Easaiya, 14, from the Church of St Francis of Assisi, said, "The fact that everything in the Christian faith is interconnected and dependent on one another is really a big discovery for me.
"Just like in aquaponics, where fish, plants and microorganisms feed off one another to sustain one another, the Church consists of its community, beliefs, and all the principles it upholds ... I do hope that I can be more active in helping young people like me in the faith."
What happens after confirmation?

During the past few months, and most recently the past few days, we are constantly hearing "boy, I bet it's crazy in your world!" I liken working in insurance to selling cars.
Let's just say that I have a new car that is on the market, the "Obamacar." Now, what we know about this car is that it comes in four fun colors (bronze, silver, gold, and platinum). The Obamacar can have the option of two or four doors, and you can even customize the interior (leather, vinyl, suede, or even plastic). The problem lies in what's under the hood.
Today, we believe it has an engine, and will be running just fine shortly. However, we are not quite sure of the specifications of the engine. It might have a Ferrari engine, built to go fast, might be a little expensive, but will be worth it. Or, it might have a Yugo engine, not built to last, but less expensive, and eventually could be in the Smithsonian.
Some of the specifications are still to be determined, as well, such as: Will it have air conditioning? Does it even have a place for the air conditioning? And, most importantly, who will service the new Obamacar? There is also a lot of speculation as to what mechanics will be able to work on the car, so we're still waiting on the preferred mechanic's lists. And, the manual has over 2,700 pages just for starting it!
However, knowing all of the above with the Obamacar; the problem is that it's still in the Research & Development department, and all could change before it is rolled out into production.
Notwithstanding, I'm still the Obamacar-salesperson-of-the-month (yes, the title was self-made)!
If the above has you scratching your head then you can probably see some similarities to the recent developments to Health Care Reform. Not to worry, at ACS Insurance, we've been watching this law for over three years and are do know the contents of its manual.
This month's winner is Wilder Auctions. Wilder Auctions is a new client with ACS Insurance and they specialize in asset recovery and re-marketing services. Wilder Auctions uses eBay.com as their global marketplace to advertise goods to be sold. You can reach Matt with Wilder Auctions at: (775) 225-1159 or, view items they have for sale at: http://www.ebay.com/sch/wilderauctions!/m.html?_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1.
Until next month,
"Silly people, serious about insurance."

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Whole Foods Market in June 2016.

Pleasant and not very hard. Not stressful at all. Asked basic questions and about whole body products. They asked about team work and customer service jobs previous. The interviewer was pleasant and friendly. Was hired on interview.
Interview Questions
Helpful (1)
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Whole Foods Market in September 2012.
I went to a job fair because they were opening a new store. I like the store, but I was originally very overwhelmed to see the amount of people who attended the job fair. I spoke to a person who looked at my resume, and we discussed a passion for "whole foods" and then I waited for several hours for a secondary team specific interview. I interviewed with the team lead for whole body and she asked product specific question and general retail questions. Then I was taken to the assistant store team leader who gave the final yes or no.
Interview Questions
Helpful (7)
I applied online. I interviewed at Whole Foods Market (Newport Beach, CA) in July 2012.
Invited to an interview at a Newport Beach job fair. Exciting atmosphere but the only WF employees with human hearts were the receptionists at the Welcome Table. Two women sat an interview table with me. Only one spoke while the other scribbled notes down, giving off severely bad vibes. Neither were receptive to me attending school or experiencing personal growth through previous jobs. The woman speaking to me said she had no problem with me attending school, but the business must always come first-no matter what. The woman talking to me was insincere and made me feel just as uncomfortable as her silent but deadly partner.
Both frowned on my inability to recite everything there is to know about vitamins and their products. Every product must be memorized as a prerequisite apparently.
Said they'll call by Thursday if they're interested. I'm not holding my breath.
