Hyundai i20 1.2 Comfort 2009 Road Test
My week with a Hyundai i20 1.2 Comfort didn't start well. It began with a 120-mile drive through one of the worst rainstorms I can remember down to Poole harbour.
And it wasn't until I was past the end of the M27 that I realised the tank had been delivered just a quarter full. If I didn't find a fuel station fast I was going to run out.
Fortunately the econometer was reading 53.3mpg, so as I kept passing fuel stations either on the wrong side of the dual carriageway or behind an impenetrable barrier there was just a chance I might get to one I could get to.
And, I did, poured £20, and carried on my way to the Abarth 500 launch without making a single wrong turn.
Apart from its startling economy, the adverse conditions revealed some of the car's other qualities.
The steering is centre weighted, robbing it of some feel on the straight ahead but helping it to track straight through several centimetres of water. The height adjustable drivers seat is hard, but comfortable on a challenging run. The power characteristics help you keep precisely to a speed on the clear, unwavering and very accurate speedometer. The trip recorder is easy to understand on the fly. The radio works fine. The wipers wipe.
So after what could very easily have been the journey from hell I actually arrived at the appropriately named Poole with a smile on my face.
Over the subsequent week I clocked up another 300 miles in more pleasant driving conditions. My average economy dropped a bit as I turned up the wick, to a low of 46. I put another £20 in the tank, yet still ended up returning the car with more fuel than it had come with. So no complaints there. And further proof that the 55mpg I thought I averaged in the smaller i10 with the same excellent 82kg, all alloy 1,248cc chain-cam Kappa engine was probably accurate.
The i20 is Fiesta sized, but much more commodious. You sit slightly more upright, there's more head and legroom and five people could comfortably travel some distance in the car. Though they'd probably need the 1.4 petrol or diesel engine to haul them up motorway inclines.
The steering and handling aren't fun like the Mazda 2 or the Suzuki Swift, and not as close to perfection as the latest Fiesta. You don't get a buzz out of driving this car. But it does cling on safely way past any demands a normal driver is likely to inflict on it. It's better than a Corsa, a Polo or a standard model Clio.
You're handed a decent amount of kit for your outlay. No skimping on things like aircon just to get a lower emissions rating. All i20s are refrigerated.
You get driver, passenger, side and curtain airbags, passenger airbag off switch, electric front windows, radio/CD player with Aux in socket, height and reach adjustable steering wheel, active head restraints, height adjustable drivers seat, ABS with EBD, tinted glass, rear wash/wipe, ISOFIX rear outer child seat tethers, and emote central locking with a folding key with even the basest of versions. Plus a 5 year unlimited mileage warranty. Soon they'll all also come with standard ESP.
That's not bad for £8,645 5-door, 5-seater hatchback. And part of the reason why CAP has predicted a high 47% of list residual value after 3 years and 30,000 miles, 5 percentage points more than an equivalent Fiesta and 12 percentage points more than a Polo or a Corsa. So it's almost an investment.
In April there will also be a £500 cheaper 3-door version. While both power outputs of 1.4 diesel engines are well under 121g/km so in the £35 tax bracket that drops to £30 for 2010-2011.
Would I buy one? No. The smaller i10 with the 1.2 Kappa engine does all I want from a car.
But, without wanting to sound patronising, anyone with kids and on a tight budget will find it hard to do better than an i20.
It's not just good value with an excellent 5 year unlimited mileage warranty.
It's a good car.

Goody goody green apples! We're more gummy-a-day keeps the doctor away gelatin supplement fanatics, but in the spirit of our Year of the Dog pledge to always have gummies on hand in the fridge as "treats" we're playing with lots of flavour combos and mixtures. Technically, these treats are beige, but with St. Patrick's Day coming up we couldn't resist adding some fresh green colour. Unlike most of our treats, I actually used food colouring in these instead of natural add-ins as I was chasing a bright apple green, but we also have naturally coloured kale and herb gummies prepped for sharing along with some other pawesome St. Patrick's Day treats, so stay tuned for more ideas.
I didn't have any shamrock or clover themed molds (although I so have cookie cutters that you'll be seeing in an upcoming treat post), and I've been making a lot of paw/bone shapes lately so I went with classic hearts for these gummies. Love through treats (in moderation of course) is a-ok by me, especially when the treats are healthy!
Green Apple Gummy Dog Treats
3/4 cup low sodium stock (pale works best for tinting) or cold water
3 to 3.5 tbsp plain gelatin powder
2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce or unsweetened apple juice
2 tbsp low fat plain yogurt
Green food colouring or natural tint (optional)
Measure stock/water into a pan. Tip: I've recently started using a pan instead of a pot when prepping gummies. More surface area makes for easier blooming. Sprinkle the surface with gelatin powder and let sit for approximately five minutes or longer for the gelatin powder to bloom/gel. Gently stir the mixture over low heat until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Take care not to shortcut with high temperatures or overheat, as this can reduce the setting strength of your gelatin. Remove from heat. Check that your liquid temperature is below 50C (120F) to protect your probiotic content (allow to cool a little if needed), then add the applesauce/juice, yogurt, and colouring (optional) and stir to thoroughly combine. Pour into your molds and chill to set fully before removing from molds.
Tips and Tricks:
Hungry for more tasty treats? See all of our recipes here. Remember, treats (bought or homemade) are for spoiling your pup in moderation. We share ideas here from treats that we make ourselves for our pets, but different animals will have different preferences (likes/dislikes) and dietary needs. Some pets may have special dietary requirements and/or food allergies/intolerances. If you are ever in doubt or have questions about what's suitable for your pet, have a chat with your trusted vet.
- My go-to stock is simple unseasoned broth saved from preparing homemade food. You can also buy stock, but where we live it's hard to source ready-made unsalted or truly low-sodium stock.
- Remember to go natural or take care when shopping to avoid artificial sweeteners in ingredients like yogurt for your dogs – xylitol (also identified as sweetener E967) is particularly dangerous for dogs. If you are using a thick-style yogurt, you may find it helpful to water it down for easier mixing. I also find measuring the yogurt and letting it sit to warm a bit while I prep the rest of the gummy base can be handy for smoother blending than straight cold yogurt.
- If your dog is sensitive to dairy, you can use an alternative ingredient such as lactose-free milk or coconut milk to turn your stock base white/opaque, or skip it and use stock/apple to make a translucent green gummy. You can also check out our other gummy recipes for alternative ideas.
- These are firm gummies, since I like to supplement my dogs with gelatin, especially my senior. If you prefer, you can use less gelatin for a jigglier jelly treat. Individual gelatin powders may be a little stronger/weaker. Find a ratio that works for your preferences and, of course, your dog.
- Yield will depend on your treat size and thickness. Volumes are easily scaled. If you want a precise measure of a specific pan/mold capacity, you can do a test pour from a measuring cup of water to measure the volume required to fill.
- If you're using shaped pans, keep them simple for easy breakage-free removal. I find that flexible molds work best as stiff molds can be tricky for removal. Supple silicon molds are tricky to move when full of liquid, so place of a portable surface to help you get things into the fridge without mess and stress.
- Once set, they are now ready to eat, but for an even better "real" gummy texture/feel, after you have taken the treats out of the mold (or cut into pieces from your pan), return them to the refrigerator on a plate/tray uncovered to dry for a day before normal container storage.
- These treats should be kept refrigerated and can be frozen for longer storage, although this can affect consistency. If gummies are frozen, I find that defrosting in the fridge uncovered on a plate or dishtowel helps to make sure that they thaw semi-dry instead of getting a little slippery. Freezing causes gelatin to separate which tends to bleed out some liquid content in addition to condensation factors.

By David Woodfill / ADOT CommunicationsIn this #FridayFive, we're talking about skidding cars (on purpose), crazy dust storms, smashed melons and more. Don't forget to follow the hashtag #FridayFive on social media to see what others are sharing from their week.1. We're kicking off this week's #FridayFive with smashed melons, as shown above.I know what some of you must be thinking: "Gallagher was in town and I missed the show?"No, the photo above was taken five years ago when a truck dumped a load of rotten fruit all over the Deck Park Tunnel in Phoenix.Read on the ADOT Blog how crews with heavy equipment scooped up the mushy mess, hosed down the highway and dealt with a damaged tunnel wall.2. Many of our Twitter and Facebook followers responded to traffic camera pictures of Thursday night's truck fire on I-10 in west Phoenix. Luckily, firefighters were able to make quick work of the blaze so traffic could get moving again.3. On Monday, the state saw a behemoth of a dust storm, with dust traveling from Arizona to California. While it lingered over the Valley, it created some dangerous and freaky-looking scenes on freeways.This serves as another reminder to avoid driving in low visibility. When encountering dust, check for traffic around you, safely slow down, exit the roadway, turn off ALL lights, stay off the brake, remain buckled and wait for the storm to pass.For more information, visit pullasidestayalive.org. Take some time with your loved ones to watch the video. It may save a life.4. In Thursday's ADOT Blog, we looked back to a time when employees were encouraged to peel their wheels. All joking aside, it was serious research to test pavement friction, and it made Arizona's highways safer.We tracked down David Allocco, the driver who did the testing with a specialized car outfitted with bald tires, a roll bar and a harness. As Allocco put it: "We'd have a water truck that would wet down the road. Then, I'd get the car up to speed, put it in neutral and then you'd have to slam on the brakes as hard as you could with both feet."These days we have more sophisticated technology to test road surfaces.5. Finally, work on Interstate 40 chugs along as crews finished reconstructing a 5-mile stretch of the westbound lanes east of Williams. Soon, they will start working on the eastbound lanes between mileposts 167 and 172.While improvements are expected to finish up by fall, motorists should expect delays in this area in order to accommodate the work. Learn more about the improvements and this milestone in our project update.

Let me begin by saying that one of the "foundations" I grew to learn from being raised in Christian churches was that we should not question God or the church, blind faith was the only real way into the kingdom of Heaven. I do not agree with this methodology and I love that you have created this forum to do exactly the opposite. I have always thought that this idea was completely wrong and it actually discouraged people further from developing a relationship with God. Thank you so much for bringing not only an educated and rational way of thinking but for using exact scriptures and Hebrew translations to explain things to people who have genuine questions and misunderstandings.
Do you have a scripture based opinion on Asherah (suggested by some to be the actual wife of God and therefore the mother of all creation)?
I have seen you reference other spiritual beings that were not Gods but that were also not Human, I.E. Satan (accuser)/Lucifer, so the possible existence of this figure sounds intriguing to me. Many theorists believe that she was a leftover from the previous polytheistic religions that predated what became the monotheistic God we worship today. Does the Bible specifically mention her or other figures that were lesser beings but not human (possibly angels or demigods) and did God have relationships with them?
This leads a to a second question, what books/texts are acceptable sources outside of the King James version of the Bible and why? I have heard of entire books (Book of Enoch for example, which according to some who have read it, describes extraterrestrial and UFO encounters) being withheld or intentionally left out for some supposed sinister reason, whether to control followers or to limit their questioning and keep them in ignorant bliss? How do you make the determination on what to trust and what to discount as heresy? Do you have knowledge on the subject of how the Bible was put together and if it is indeed possible that parts were "left out"? In addition I have seen you discuss a book written by one of your peers that explains Genesis in a different manner than the exact text but you accept his theories, how do you make those decisions?

I don't know why, but at least to me, Colombian coffee often times seem overshadowed by their more exotic (sounding) counterparts. Maybe it's because they're generally not as expensive, or don't have really outstanding transparency of some washed African's, but every now and then I order a Colombian and it's like seeing an old friend, or having a meal that you know is just good. Straight forward, no frills, just damn good. Timana, from Sweet Bloom is one of those Colombians, with brownie batter aromatics, citrus liked acidity, and brown sugar sweetness that delivers.
As espresso, it made for good shots, but I really felt like it shined as a base for milk drinks. It held up well to 8 ounce lattes, and made a nice rich cappuccino. The brown sugar and brownie batter like sweetness played off the milk well, and it had just a hint of fruitiness too. Shots were fairly typical, pulled at 18 grams in to 36 grams out in 30 seconds at 202*F.
Brewed on the V60 didn't necessarily bring about any nuanced or overly transparent flavors but just very flavorful, rich, sweet, and smooth cups, the kind you could keep drinking and it's always there tasting good... that old friend. I found the coffee to strike its best balance when brewed at:
- 1 : 16 or 20 grams in to 320 grams out using 203*F water from the Bonavita Temperature Controlled Kettle
- 3x coffee weight (60 gram) bloom, agitated to wet all grounds, 35 second total bloom time
- Steady pour to 250 grams, stir
- Remaining steady pour to finish weight, swirl the brewer.
- Total brewing time of 2:30 - 2:45
Available for a very reasonable $16 for a 12 ounce bag, this coffee is sure to be reliably "good". Sweet Bloom offers free shipping on orders over $50 as well.

Traveling can bring on unanticipated physical challenges that can put a dent in your trip. Don't let your vacation or trip become a nightmare. Here are a few of my favorite ways to ensure a happy trip:
Protection from food borne microbes:
Before you eat in a restaurant, especially in countries where eating raw produce is inadvisable, take 2 drops of oregano oil under the tongue. Additionally, this is helpful in preventing food poisoning or gastric distress. It also has the added benefit of being anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-parasitic.
Prevention of motion sickness:
Take Homeopathic Tabaccum (30C) before driving or flying; or you can take 2-3 ginger capsules, or eat fresh dried ginger to prevent nausea and motion sickness. Ginger tea with raw honey and lemon is delicious and ginger has the added benefit of being anti-inflammatory.
At the onset of flu symptoms, immediately take Homeopathic Aconitum (30C) every 2 hours for a few doses. This will get the virus before it can take hold and get you!
Quantum Techniques:
Bring the QT Universal Codes in your purse or wallet to use as needed. Airplanes are full of inhalant toxins which generally reverse people. Use the reversal and inhalant codes during the flight and as you exit the airplane. The ingestant code is invaluable for the varieties of new or rich foods often encountered on trips. The contactant, virus and bacteria codes can be Godsends when you begin to feel sick.
Happy travels!

5 : Bree & Tyler
Crib is an old card game of strategy and luck, competition and conversation. Leading up to their wedding, Bree and Tyler were dealing each other a lot of crib hands. So naturally I dug Bree's suggestion that we incorporate a game of crib into their wedding photos. She found the perfect deck: super-sized red-and-white cards so big kisses could hide behind an open hand.
We worked other personal details into the shoot as well: we drove to the botanic gardens at Olds College where Tyler's dad has taught for years, we stopped at a wheat field to bring us back to Bree's country roots, and we drank hot chocolate at a favourite cafe. Since then, I've taken care to discover a couple's favourite neighbourhood hangout and secret hobby to personalize their pictures and bring their character as a couple into the shoot.
Nowadays Bree and Tyler are sharing their time by revving up their motorbikes together. Maybe next summer I'll throw on a helmet and grab a seat in their sidecar to snap some photos of them cruising down some good old country roads!
To Bree & Tyler : HAPPY 4th ANNIVERSARY !!

Caran d'Ache has drawn on its expertise and explored the deepest graphite mines to search out the infinite color nuances of carbon. The result is the Graphite Line, an original concept dedicated to graphite that gives artists the opportunity to compose their own graphite range and explore all the shades of black. An integral component of the line is the Grafwood pencil.
This series of extra-fine graphite pencils contains 15 gradations (including 9B, the deepest black on the market), enabling artists to produce an infinite range of techniques and effects, uniform darkening of large surfaces, and regular and intense line drawing.
An easy-to-hold design offers optimal artistic control.
Grafwood Metal Box, Set of 6
This selection of six Grafwood graphite pencils is balanced between soft and hard leads, enabling artists and creative professionals to explore all the shades of black. It includes one each of 9B, 7B, 5B, 3B, HB, and 2H, contained in a durable, hinged metal box. The box is light, easy to carry, and protects the pencils from damage — a practical set for all student and professional artists.
Grafwood Metal Tube, Set of 15
This tube holds 15 pencils, one of each hardness grade in the Grafwood line, including 9B, 8B, 7B, 6B, 5B, 4B, 3B, 2B, B, HB, F, H, 2H, 3H, and 4H.

Heading to Chattanooga! The 2016 Society of Civil War Historians Conference/
The Society of Civil War Historians hosts their biennial conference in historic Chattanooga, Tennessee this week, and starting Thursday (June 2), Civil War historians from around the country will converge on Chattanooga to "talk shop," if you will. This includes Civil Discourse's Katie Thompson, Zac Cowsert, and Chuck Welsko, and we hope to bring you all with us as we poke around Chickamauga, take ourselves to the cutting edge of scholarship, present our own research, and generally have a damn good time in Tennessee.
Two of our authors, Katie Thompson and Zac Cowsert, will be presenting their own research at the conference. Zac Cowsert's panel, "Politics, Division, and Destruction: The Civil War in Indian Territory," kicks off bright and early at 8:30 am on Friday, June 3. Zac's paper, "Arms, Abolition, and the Politics of Fear: The Choctaw Nation Enters the Civil War," explores the messy politics and violent vigilantism within Choctaw Nation in the summer of 1861 which induced the Choctaw Indians to ally with the Confederate States. Alongside Zac on the panel are Kevin Hooper and Chelsea Frazier, who will discuss Cherokee and Cherokee-Creek involvement in the Civil War respectively.
Katie Thompson's panel, "Healing Invisible Wounds: Civil War Veterans, Veterans' Organizations, and Mental Trauma," closes out Friday's events at 2:30 pm. Katie's paper "'That the soldier was insane is not established': Insanity and Suicide in Civil War Pensions" exposes how some soldiers simply could not cope with the mental trauma the Civil War inflicted. John Kennedy and Christopher Bates join Katie in presenting their own work on institutional care for veterans as well as post-war veteran's reunions and wartime trauma, respectively.
There are of course a slew of fascinating other panels broaching a wide variety of topics, covering military, political, social/cultural, legal, memory, and environmental history and more. There will be reappraisals of George "Little Mac" McClellan's generalship. Discussions on Union wartime politics. Brainstorming sessions on how to freshly approach the ever-popular Gettysburg campaign. Roundtables on the Civil War West. Staunch defenses of why unit histories still matter. Breakdowns of how the environment shaped military campaigns. Frank explorations of Civil War-era sexuality. And much, much more. You can find the whole conference program here; it's worth a look.

How much is it going to cost?
- How much will it cost me?
- If you don't need to pay the apprenticeship levy
- Additional payments from the government
How much will it cost me?
You can get help from the government to pay for apprenticeship training and assessment. The amount you get depends on whether you pay the apprenticeship levy or not. You will pay the apprenticeship levy if you're an employer with a pay bill more than £3 million each year.
Apprenticeship funding is a devolved matter and so how you get your funds and pay for training depends on whether you're in:
- England
- Scotland
- Wales
- Northern Ireland
If you don't need to pay the apprenticeship levy
As an employer who doesn't pay the apprenticeship levy, you will need to pay the training provider directly for training your apprentices.
You pay 5% towards the cost of training and assessing your apprentice. The government will pay the rest (95%) up to the funding band maximum. They'll pay the funds directly to the training provider.
Additional payments from the government
Extra support for small employers
Employers with fewer than 50 people working for them will not have to pay the 5% contribution for an apprentice who is aged between:
- 16-18 years old
- 19-24 years old and who has previously been in care or who has an Education, Health and Care plan provided by their local authority
The government will pay 100% of the training costs for these individuals, up to the funding band maximum.
Training younger apprentices
All employers will receive £1,000 if, at the start of the apprenticeship, the apprentice is aged between:
- 16-18 years old
- 19-24 years old and who has previously been in care or who has an Education, Health and Care plan provided by their local authority
This payment will be made to the employer in two equal instalments via the training provider.
Example costs
Below are some examples of the breakdown of the costs for funding an apprentice. The cost of training and assessment are included, however, the apprentice's salary is not.
Example costs 1:
|Financial services administrator
|Level 3 - (levels explained)
|Number of apprentices
|Funding band maximum
|Agreed price with training provider
|The government will pay
|Cost to you
Example costs 2:
|Rail Infrastructure Operator
|Level 2 - (levels explained)
|Number of apprentices
|Funding band maximum
|Agreed price with training provider
|The government will pay
|Cost to you
Paying for apprenticeships using a transfer of apprenticeship funds
Employers who already have an apprenticeship service account and haven't spent all their apprenticeship funds, can transfer unused funds to another employer.
Transferred funds can be used to pay for new apprenticeship training and assessment for apprenticeship standards. Transferred funds can't be used for apprenticeship frameworks.
Transferring funds to another employer
If you have unused apprenticeship funds, you can transfer them to another employer. You will have to use the apprenticeship service if you want to do this.
How to register and use the apprenticeship service as an employer.
Employers who pay the apprenticeship levy and have unused apprenticeship funds can find employers who want to receive a transfer in a number of ways, for example:
- work with employers in your supply chain
- get in touch with employers in your industry
- get in touch with an Apprenticeship Training Agency (ATA)
- work with regional partners
Paying the levy
If you pay the apprenticeship levy, you'll receive funds through the apprenticeship service to spend on training and assessing your apprentices. The government will add 10% to these funds.
You need to sign in or create a new account on the apprenticeship service to fund your apprenticeships.
Why not call to supercharge your business
Embrace change and employ an apprentice
Search for the ideal apprenticeship training that fits with your business needs and start the journey of taking on an apprentice.

Preparing Your Home for El Niño
We're looking forward to seeing some much needed rain this winter. Redwood City is expected to experience a particularly rainy season due to El Niño, a weather pattern that could bring landslides and flooding. Actually, climatologists predict that it may be the strongest El Niño ever recorded and perhaps the warmest winter ever in the United States.
The City's own winter storm preparations are underway and they are asking the community to be storm ready too. According to a press release from the City there are a number of ways residents can prepare themselves for this winter, including clearing debris from natural creeks, buying rain barrels to catch rain water for residential gardening and other uses, and taking advantage of various city programs.
Here are ten tips for prepping your home for the stormy season:
- Clear gutters and catch basins of debris and leaves. Help keep our creeks and Bay clean by never dumping into a catch basin.
- For property owners with natural creek beds on their property, clear creek beds of debris.
- Sign-up for Code Red community notifications here.
- Build a Storm Kit: Keep needed emergency supplies in your home, at work, and in your car and discuss emergency plans with your family.
- Build a sandbag wall to channel water to a drain or gutter. Sandbags are available at 1400 Broadway.
- Have plywood, plastic sheeting, and other emergency building materials available in advance and keep handy for waterproofing.
- Notify San Mateo County Mosquito and Vector Control District of any standing water issues:
- Learn more about the City's rain barrel rebates to save rain water for residential gardening and other uses at home.
- Know your flood zone designation and your specific flood hazard. Obtain flood insurance if you are in a high-risk flood area. Homeowner insurance policies don't cover flood damage.
- Plan in advance to assist your neighbors or have them help you.
For more information about how you can help be storm ready, visit the City's website.

Why boundaries are important
Boundaries are part of self care. They are healthy, normal and necessary. [Doreen Virtue]
We've all experienced having someone crash our personal space. Our response depends on both our personal history and on the nature of the crashing in. We may feel anything from slightly disgruntled all the way through to traumatised and abused.
Someone who has been loved and nurtured throughout their childhood will know in the cells of their body what is right and what is wrong. They will have a strong container and boundaries will come naturally to them. They will be confident with their personal space, will feel that they have a right to it and will have a history of it being respected.
So if you unconsciously crash their space, you will get a gentle swat to back off as if you've been an annoying fly. It is not necessarily a big deal - your timing may just be off.
However, for someone who has been emotionally, physically or sexually abused as a child, the picture is very, very different. Their natural boundaries were violated and they do not know what a safe container feels like. They are apologetic about their personal space and feel inadequate, incomplete, unworthy, tainted. Most importantly they often feel selfish if they try and set boundaries - maybe through some deep seated belief that they are bad and must be available for all and sundry to take advantage of - to make up for the fact that they are alive.
Defining boundaries is not selfish in any way, shape or form. It is a basic human need and part of your health and well-being.
My sense is the shame of early violation makes it very, very difficult to claim your power, to claim your personal space, and take authority about what you will and will not accept as part of your life's experiences. Defining boundaries is not simple. It doesn't work if you just state them. You have to own them in the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual realms: only then will others necessarily get the message.
A good way to start is to take a blank piece of paper. Draw a stick person to represent you and draw a big bubble around you. Within the bubble, name and write down all the things/experiences you welcome in your life. In a different colour pen (a colour that does not resonate with you), name and write down all the things/experiences you do not welcome at all in your life. Pin this somewhere you can see daily - especially in areas where interactions with others happen (maybe near the front door or near the landline if you still use one).
So now you're on your way to owning your boundaries from a mental place - what about from a physical place? Here's a really good exercise to try with a close friend or partner (someone you feel safe with). Stand either in the middle of a room or in the garden and ask your helper to stand opposite you - with approximately 12 feet between you. Bring your awareness into your body as much as you are able and ask your helper to slowly walk towards you. Notice when your body reacts to their presence - is it far away or close? Where do you start to feel impinged upon? Then get your helper to walk clockwise around you - again starting about 12 feet away. Which direction makes the hairs on the back of your neck go up? When they are on your right hand side or your left? When they are behind you? Play around and notice what you notice. This is great training on physical boundaries. Then swap over - and as you move towards your helper, notice when you feel their boundaries are uncomfortable or being encroached. See if it matches with their sense. Dialogue. See what you learn about each other's space.
So what about emotional boundaries? A key thing here it to learn how to be clear about the difference between your emotions and the emotions of others around you. We can be emotional sponges - and not know where we end and someone else begins. We can be emotionally drained after spending time with some people. We can suppress emotions we feel are 'bad' and only allow out the ones we label as 'good'. True emotion is energy in motion - e-motion. Allowing yourself to feel the wide range of emotions, without filtering or judging yourself is a great first step. It's helpful to identify them and learn to express them: own them (I feel sad, I feel angry, I feel disappointed). And when you feel overwhelmed by emotions, yours or others, find the movement to move them through - go striding through the forest, dance, shake, run, jog, go to the gym. Don't let them get stuck. And if you don't know where you end and another person begins - go and spend some time alone. Find you edges again, your own centre of equilibrium. Trees are great companions for this.
And finally, a few things about spiritual boundaries. These are your core values and what make up your central belief system. You may be in a beginning place with this or as an adept - however, I'd always recommend coming back to check what they are, whether they've changed, what holds you together and makes you tick. The clearer you are in this area, the more obvious it will be when an external event/person/decision is in line with your spiritual boundaries or not.
If we don't set boundaries, we can feel used and mistreated. Resentment grows. Passive aggressiveness seeps out. We repeat the cycles we ourselves were violated by. Boundaries are about respect: respect of self, respect of others, respect of life itself.
Inflammation and dementia...
We're at a key turning point, a revolution if you like, for dementia right now. It's a good time to make sure you are up to speed with the latest advice. Diet is key and there are many resources online to ensure you are eating the optimum anti-inflammatory foods. Here is a recent one from Harvard
How can craniosacral therapy make a difference?
Trials with craniosacral therapy are showing promising results for working with inflammation and dementia and one of the reasons why is that craniosacral therapy sessions encourages the flow of CSF.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, colourless liquid that bathes the brain and spinal cord. We know that it is incredibly important to our health and well-being but it is still surrounded in mystery. There are some startling facts: in middle age, the flow of CSF is half that of a normal adult. And as people reach 60 +, doctors can see on a MRI that their brains start to shrink. Also when people have senile dementia, their flow of CSF is 75% less!
In a recent podcast, Michael Morgan, used a great analogy for this deterioration in CSF flow: imagine a river flowing freely where over time the water table lowers until eventually it dries up. What you are left with is sludge (amyloid plaques). This creates a situation where more and more toxins form so the million dollar question is – if we can find a way to increase the flow of CSF to near normal levels, would the sludge wash away?
What I do know for sure is that this amazing fluid, in direct contact with our brain and spinal cord, that we continually make and replace, holds some mysteries that science has not yet unlocked. And there are many exciting revolutionary findings just around the corner...
How grief gets inside the body
If you're one of the unfortunate ones to have lost a loved one, you will know how grief impacts on your emotions. But you may not be so aware of how grief can weaken your body. Unresolved grief can cause chronic issues; it literally 'gets inside the body'. This, combined with the fact that we live in a society that is still unwilling to talk frankly about bereavement and loss, means that we are often walking on a long and lonely road, with chronic physical symptoms that time does not heal or subdue.
Impact on the Heart
The Old English word for grief, heartsarnes, means soreness of the heart. It is not surprising then that chest symptoms are a recurring theme following bereavement or loss. Many experience heart pain or heart palpitations. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, Broken Heart Syndrome, mimics an actual heart attack. The British Heart Foundation also recognises that grief can weaken the heart muscle and one of the heart's chambers changes its shape. Grief has also been found to increase blood pressure and blood clots.
Impact on the gut
Grief can exacerbate appetite loss—probably because it impacts on the pleasure taken in eating food. Some people are so impacted by grief that they no longer feel hungry. Others comfort eat to fill the gaping void that has opened up in their life. And in addition, regardless of whether you're eating more or less, the actual process of digestion can be compromised.
Other physical symptoms may include overwhelming tiredness and exhaustion, restlessness, general aches and pains, anxiety attacks, difficulty breathing, insomnia and fears. The loss of someone close can also leave people more vulnerable to infection.
Memories of trauma and loss are stored in the connective tissue of the body, which is why it is not a surprise to craniosacral therapists that grief involves a huge physical effort for people - it is not simply done or felt only in the mind. It has a physical impact. For instance, I will feel grief in a client in one or more of the following ways:
• The sensation of a heavy weight sitting on their whole heart and lung area
• Feeling of trapped energy in the throat (where unshed tears are sitting)
• The respiratory diaphragm will feel dense and 'stuck'
• The client's 'rest and digest' system can feel non-existent
• The flow of the 'breath of life' will be severely compromised
I know for myself, I was shocked at the impact on my body that losing my mum had. I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, my heart felt like it had been hit by a truck and my umbilical area felt like it had had something torn from it... It was a huge process of recovery on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.
We need to acknowledge grief more in our society. We need to take it from its taboo status. We need to provide the support on the physical and on the emotional levels to help each other through. We need to raise awareness of the lesser known physical impacts. We need to talk about the body therapies that help the body to release and recover physically. But most importantly, we need to acknowledge the impact of grief – to witness and be with it, not to try and fix it or make it go away. Some losses never go away – but the physical impact of them can be cleared so that we can get on with following the flow of the great river of life to the best of our ability.
"Trauma results in a fundamental reorganization of the way mind and brain manage perceptions. It changes not only how we think and what we think about, but also our very capacity to think."
The human brain is a social organ that is shaped by experience; it's a profoundly relational part of our body, especially in the formative years. So childhood trauma literally shapes your brain for the rest of your life...
Childhood abuse has been shown to specifically effect
i) Ventral pre frontal cortex - the part of the brain that allows you to observe yourself, where you know what's going on inside of you. In effect, it is our watchtower.
ii) Orbitel pre frontal cortex - the part of your brain that helps you not to become impulsive.
iii) Amygdala- the smoke detector of the brain that tells you what is dangerous and what is safe. It knows nothing about reasoning or cognitive functions. It deals with feelings and emotions.
iv) Dorsolateral cortex – the part of the brain that gives you the capacity to see yourself over time, combining past with the future.
v) Precuneus - the part of your brain that worries about yourself.
vi) Anterior cingulate - the part of the brain that filters out irrelevant information.
In a healthy developmental environment, your brain gets to feel a sense of pleasure, engagement, and exploration. Your brain opens up to learn, to see things, to accumulate information, to form friendships. If as a child you are frightened and unwanted, your brain specialises in managing feelings of fear and abandonment.
Trauma is thus a kinesthetic experience; it is not just an event that took place sometime in the past; it is also the imprint left by that experience on mind, brain, and body. It as an illness of not being alive in the present as this imprint has ongoing consequences for how we manage to survive in the present. Trauma creates chaos in our brain.
Once traumatised a person perceives the world differently so the question to therapists is how do we assist our clients to heal their nervous systems so that their perception of danger or safety is more accurate?
It is very interesting that mindfulness increases activation of the medial prefrontal cortex and decreases activation of structures like the amygdala that trigger our emotional responses. This increases our control over the emotional brain and is one way we can start to utilise the neuro-plasticity of our brains for our benefit.
There is still much being learnt in this area, but to me anything that makes a person feel safer in the present moment (breath, body work, nature, stillness) will go a long way towards helping to antidote the physiological impacts of childhood trauma on our brains. We can rewire, it is just going to take time, patience and space...

She said that the name means much to her and to the country as a whole, due to where the country is now compared to how it was at the start of it's democracy, Ses 'fikile "We have arrived".

If leadership begins at the top, then the drive to make Williston a more attractive city must begin at city hall.
Civic groups and individuals alike have picked up the gauntlet to clean up Williston. Two of the city council's appointed committees, the Community Redevelopment Agency and Board of Adjustments and Code Enforcement have put in countless hours to make Williston better, prettier.
And what has the council and staff done to beautify its own property?
The peeling, flaking paint at city hall is an embarrassment. The mildew on the sides of the building is laughable. The lack of landscaping around city buildings is noticeable.
We understand that in the past year, the city has been reluctant to do anything to a property it hopes to soon vacate. However, the condition of city hall did not happen in the past year.
Built in 1956, it is years of weather and wear and tear that brought that building to its current condition.
A little pressure washing, a coat of paint – the facade of the building could be improved without spending a lot of money.
If the city will lead by example, its residents may be more amenable to jumping on the bandwagon and start a wheel of motion that moves throughout the downtown area – where it's needed most since that's what visitors see when they pass through.
We challenge the city of Williston to take action now. Pressure wash. Paint. Remove old signs. Plant some flowers.
By example.

5 Foundations of a Purposeful & Profitable Business
When you're first starting out in business, it's easy to fall into the trap of being busy but not purposeful when it comes to growing a business. Most people spend months even years tweaking their brand or website or focusing all their efforts on blogging or growing their social media accounts before they realize what's most important when growing a business. Yes, branding, blogging, and social media are extremely important but those activities should only account for a small portion of your business development plan. What you really need to focus on is making sure your business has a strong foundation.
Let's talk about the 5 foundations of a purposeful and profitable business.
1) People
Who has God given you a burden for? When God calls us to business, He calls us to reach a select group of people who need to hear our message and solution. The first step in building a purposeful and profitable business is to figure out who God has given you a burden for. From there, you want to create your ideal client profile. Who are they? What do they? Where do they live? How much do they make? How old are they? Where do they hang out online and offline? These are just some of the questions you want to keep in mind when you create your ideal client profile or target audience.
Don't forget to include demographic and psychographic information. Demographic information consists of who your customer is and your psychographic information will consist of why they want to buy and the lifestyle they live. This will help you narrow down who God wants you to reach. The goal here is to not keep your audience too broad. Don't worry about reaching the masses, worry about reaching the people you are called to.
2) Problem
Now that you know who God has called you to, you must identify the problem they need you to solve. What are your people's pain points? What are they struggling with? What are the burning questions or problems they come to you with? You can't have a purposeful and profitable business if you're not solving a problem. Focus on the main problem you want your business to solve. Then you can start tailoring your offerings to meet their needs.
3) Solution
Your solution should define why your business exists. Your business should exist to solve your ideal client's problems, and the solution you offer is how you will fix their problems. People don't buy just because they like you or because you have a popping website; they buy because they're hoping what you offer solves their problem. Are your offerings the solutions to their problems?
There are many ways you can ensure that your solutions are serving your customers problems. One way to do this is to survey your audience. You can also hold in person or online focus groups to get product feedback. Another great way to make sure your offerings are meeting needs is to list each product/service you offer and write down the problem that each one solves. All these methods allow you to see if your offerings are purposeful and give you an opportunity to tailor them to better serve your ideal customer.
4) Platform
Your platform is the hub for your business. This is where you will share and distribute your solution. All your marketing and social media efforts should point people back here and to your email list (where the real profits lie). Make sure your platform is optimized to attract your target audience. Don't clutter your website with unnecessary content and copy. Every page and piece of content should serve a purpose and must have the ability to efficiently and effectively direct your audience to the next steps of becoming a client or customer. Your space should be clean and have a good amount of white space. The pages should be clean and organized and all your links should be active. And don't forget about creating a signature opt-in that serves your ideal client while leading them into your sales funnel.
The biggest thing when it comes to creating your platform is to not get caught up in details of blogging. Remember that blogging is a content marketing strategy, not your business in itself. The blog's purpose is to share your brand's message and the platform is there to share the solution of your business.
5) Systems & Workflows
Systems and workflows are not the sexiest things to talk about but they are one of the most important foundations of running a purposeful and profitable business. Systems, processes, and workflows allow you to run a seamless business. You do that by identifying what processes, systems, and workflows need to be in place to efficiently and effectively serve your people. From there you want to analyze and document the process of how you run every part of your business. That includes finding and onboarding clients, blogging, social media marketing, processing meeting notes — everything needs a process and a system.
Just think of your systems, processes, and workflows as the business manual and operating procedures for your business. Documenting these things will allow you to perform your activities accurately and in order every single time. Not only will this save you time and money when it's time to hire or expand a team, but it will also give you peace of mind knowing that every part of your business is accounted for and every customer and client is being served.
I know that these foundations may not be the most exciting or appealing but focusing on them now will save you time in the long run and will prevent you from having to backtrack in the future. The key is to not rush the process. Remember, businesses are built day by day, brick by brick. Not taking the time to build a strong foundation early on is like building a house on sand — it will sink instead of stand. Instead, build a business that will withstand the tests of time by focusing on the foundations that will make it purposeful and profitable.

Are These 6 Influential Financial Media Outlets on Your Radar?
A post on our sister blog, Gregarious, from firm president Greg Matusky, outlined incendiary tech publications; that is, outlets that don't have the instant name recognition of a mainstream media publication, but still influence the national conversation on a topic, product or idea.
The financial media operates in the same vein. Of course, the credibility of The Wall Street Journal, Barron's and Forbes can provide members of the industry with a respected, widely read forum to discuss their views and share their messages. However, just like there are incendiary tech publications, there are also incendiary financial publications.
When it comes to media placements, don't just focus on the name brands – there are other opportunities out there that will also give you the platform you need to carve out a reputation and influence the industry.
Here are six outlets that you should take notice of:
- NextAvenue: Many of our clients target retirees and soon-to-be retirees. That's the same audience that's visiting NextAvenue on a regular basis. Backed by PBS, NextAvenue offers articles, advice and guest columns on topics including money and security, work and purpose, and caregiving.
- BusinessNewsDaily: Entrepreneurs and business owners visit this site in droves to help them run their business. Coverage includes everything from tech solutions, such as recruitment tools, to HR issues, like remote employees. With 11,500 Twitter followers and 57,500 Facebook likes, the outlet has established a devoted audience since launching in 2010.
- MoneyShow: With a motto of "Invest Smarter, Trade Wiser," it's a no-brainer that MoneyShow would be on this list. In addition to its frequently updated website, MoneyShow hosts national conferences and produces videos. The real gem of this outlet, though, is the newsletters: The daily email newsletter goes to about 75,000 readers and the weekly one goes to an additional 85,000. Imagine your investment philosophy, fund or product in front of that many people with the click of a button.
- DailyWorth: This outlet focuses on financial issues solely for women, covering how to plan, earn, spend and live when it comes to your money. We have all read the countless stories about the need to properly serve female investors and consumers – some sectioning this as a niche, others not. No matter what camp you are in, DailyWorth is doing something right – the site has over 1.7 million unique visitors per month and also shares it content via an electronic newsletter.
- Bankrate: A veteran –Bankrate, Inc. has over 30 years of experience in financial publishing – this site targets the consumer, providing everything from credit card rate information to auto loan insight to retirement planning. It is truly a one-stop shop for financial information.
- TheStreet: Located next to the New York Stock Exchange and founded by investing media personality Jim Cramer, this venue is geared toward investors and aims to offer actionable ideas when it comes to one's wealth. TheStreet is truly a digital network, housing MainStreet, StockPickr, BankingMyWay and RealMoney. Let's not forget its vast Twitter following of over 120,000 and that it has over 4 million unique website visitors a month.
While this list could go on, these are a handful of the financial media outlets that we feel deserve attention, and may get lost among the inventory of more "recognizable" publications. These six venues bring in solid viewership and provide readers with a plethora of insightful financial commentary. We suggest you put them on your radar.
Editor's Note: This post is a collaboration between Brittany and another member of the GregoryFCA team, Lauren Davis.

Papua New Guinea will likely use during the 2022 general election an electronic voting system successfully implemented by India, and copied by other nations, says Papua New Guinea Prime Minister Peter O'Neill.
"The electronic voting system is the way to go so that we can have fair and free elections in our country," O'Neill told Parliament.
"Since Independence, the election process has been giving us a lot of challenges, and it is in everyone's interest that we conduct this election in a fair and free manner so that people can have their say in how their leaders are elected into Parliament. We have been looking at this electronic voting system for quite some time," O'Neill said.
He said the Indian government successfully conducted its elections involving between 700 million and 800 million people "voting at the same time, and results coming out in a matter of days".
"With that experience, we thought we can adapt the technology owned by the government of India. They have similar partnerships with some countries around the world." A team of Indian electoral officials, at the invitation of the Government, was in Port Moresby to set up the system in the State Function room at Parliament House.
"We were able to see how the election process was conducted and how successful it was done," O'Neill said.
Further, a Government team led by Electoral Commissioner Patilias Gamato recently visited India to "witness first-hand" their election process, and discuss adapting their system in PNG.
"We are committed to that and awaiting advice from the Electoral Commission," O'Neill said.
"Our aim is to start the implementation process, especially getting the voter registration system this year. We don't wait until the last year to update the common roll, (with) all sorts of ghost names (on it).
"It is important that we start early so that the integrity of the system is tested, and that people have confidence in the system we are going to introduce."National Planning and Monitoring Minister Richard Maru had earlier called for the National Identification (NID) project to be fast-tracked so that all voters could use their ID in the 2022 general election.
He warned that "those who don't have an ID won't vote in the (2022) election"

Well, who did you piss off to end up on my blog? Or were you super bored?
No matter, I'm happy to have you. Welcome to my virtual home!
Now, to get a confession off my chest: I'm not great at blogging. But I'm trying to get better. Third time's the charm, right?
Let me introduce myself. My name is Diana, I'm a Guatemalan – American living in southern California. (Yes, it is very hot here. No, I'm not near the beach. Or the mountains. Or any other part of California you've heard is nice.) I've been a practicing Celtic Reconstructionist for many years and a practicing witch for even longer. I'm a writer and a foodie. (So now you know where the name of my blog comes from.) But also a scientist. I have an Associates of Arts in Anthropology from my local community college, and Bachelors of Science in Archaeology from Cardiff University. I used to have a Etsy store where I made and sold crafts and natural cosmetics, but I'm trying to focus on my writing right now. I love cats, tea, rainy days, and fairytales.
Some days I wear a tiara, and on those days, shit gets done.
So welcome to my blog. My plan for this places is to post hopefully interesting stories about witchcraft and religion, food, writing, crafts, skincare, and my many trials and tribulations. It's ok to laugh at my struggles. I do too, sometimes. But do let me know if there's a topic you'd like me to research or talk about, and let me know if you're enjoying my rambling rants and musings.
Come in, have a seat. The kettle's just boiled.

Plans With No System Access Fee Under Fire
The debate over the system access fee being a government fee that was simply passed through to the government or another channel for the carrier to simply increase their revenue is as old as cell phones. However, the powers that be (you and me) have finally won the battle with many carriers in having plans that no longer encompass a system access fee, or have we?
At first glance that may be the way that it looks, but as many things go when it comes to telecom expense management, not everything is as it seems or for that matter is so cut and dry. Carol from our Analysis team explains; Clients would have to change to one of the new plans in order to see this charge dropped from billing. In most cases, a comparable new plan is only slightly more expensive (less than the former encompassing the SAF charge), but has increased OOB (out of bucket) and LD (long distance) charges.
This may be a good option if a user never uses minutes above their plan, and does not typically use long distance. However, it does not take much usage above the plan allotment for charges to escalate above what their costs would be on the old plan.
Example: A unit uses 230 minutes with 32 minutes of Long Distance calling:
On an existing 200 minute plan
- cost is $25
- $.30/minute for Out of Bucket usage (x 30 minutes)
- $.30/minute for Long Distance usage (x 32 minutes)
- $7.70 in SAF/911 charges
- Total monthly cost $51.30
On a new 200 minute plan
- cost is $30
- $.35/minute for Out of Bucket usage (x 30 minutes)
- $.40/minute for Long Distance usage (x 32 minutes)
- no SAF/911 charges
- Total monthly cost $53.30
The $8-10 you might save in SAF's could actually increase other charges, and therefore overall total monthly cost
The moral to the story is really quite simple. Before switching onto one of these new plans with no System Access Fee charges, do a detailed cost analysis encompassing 3 to even 6 month average usage, and then determine if it is the right move. This is critical before making any plan changes at any time and should be a component of your telecom expense management process. However it is especially key when the deal seems to good to be true.
We'd love to hear from you and if you have made the switch to plans without a SAF charge. Has it worked out in your favor? Let us know in the comments below.
