the new year never feels quite right until i've made official my annual goals. every year, i tend to set goals related to health, diet, and fitness... and i either fail miserably or feel miserable. not a good start to the year!
i'm doing things a little differently this year. i started the year with coffee, chips, chocolate, taffy, and zero exercise. it felt liberating (but see my note below). for 2012, i set goals related to finances and organization, which i've described both in the below video and in this blog post.
you may have already read or heard this somewhere but the key is to set SMART goals for success: specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and timely. i tried to keep that in mind while setting my 8 goals but a couple of them are still too vague for my liking (i.e. goals 6 & 7).
the above video goes into detail about how or why i decided to set each of the below goals but for ease of reference (more for myself), here are my 8 goals for 2012:
1. photo-a-day project of hubby and me.
- take at least one photo every day for 366 days of hubby and me together.
- simple point-and-shoot photos will suffice.
2. 100 day thrifting challenge.
- buy only second hand merchandise until april 10, 2012.
- excludes makeup and basics (socks & underwear) for hygienic reasons.
- wear a minimum of one thrifted item each day until april 10, 2012.
- initially, this was going to be a one year thrifting challenge so i may extend it if it goes well.
3. savings goal + rewards!
- when i reach 50% of my savings goals, i can purchase one luxury item.
- when i reach 100% of my savings goals, i can purchase one additional luxury item.
4. one new beauty product per month.
- i can purchase one new beauty product each month in addition to the samples included in my beauty boxes (glymm & topbox).
- i can only subscribe to two beauty boxes at a time.
- does not include replacement items (i.e. if i run out of a product, i can re-purchase the same or a very similar product).
5. one litre of water per day.
- drink at least one litre of water per day in addition to any other beverages (tea, coffee, juice, etc.).
6. figure out the mess that is my hair.
- learn how to style my own hair so it looks presentable.
7. decorate, de-clutter & re-organize.
- put up photographs and artwork using the frames previously purchased.
- de-clutter the condo one area at a time.
- find organization solutions for my shoes, handbags, jewellery, makeup, etc.
8. keep a better record of events.
- go back to using a hard copy planner.
- compile a visual history using the information in the planner and the associated photographs.
note: i used to be really really healthy. i didn't consume caffeine, i did yoga three times a week, i lifted weights, i did cardio, i drank only water (and unsweetened soy milk on occasion), i cooked healthy meals, and i didn't eat chips or instant noodles. i even took a multi-vitamin every day. i think it is important to have a healthy lifestyle and i want to transition back to my old ways... it just won't be part of my new year's "resolutions" - instead, it will happen when i feel motivated to make the change.
do you make resolutions or goals for the new year? if so, please let me know what some of those are! :)

Heiresses, The (2018)
Review #1,619
Director: Marcelo Martinessi
Cast: Ana Brun, Margarita Irun, Ana Ivanova
Plot: Chela and Chiquita both descend from wealthy families in Asunción and have been together for over 30 years. But when their debts lead to Chiquita being imprisoned on fraud charges, Chela is forced to face a new reality.
Genre: Drama
Awards: Won Silver Bear - Best Actress & Alfred Bauer Prize, and FIPRESCI Prize (Berlin)
Runtime: 98 mins
Rating: R21 (passed clean) for homosexual theme
International Sales: Luxbox
IN RETROSPECT (Spoilers: NO)
Marcelo Martinessi's debut feature boasts one of the most delicate performances in recent years by Ana Brun (also her acting debut), who won the Silver Bear for Best Actress at the Berlin International Film Festival. If nothing else, Brun's work here is worth the admission ticket alone, as she plays Chela, an upper-class elderly lesbian who lives with a similarly-aged woman, Chiquita, in a large house. One might suspect they are rich in assets, but poor cash-wise, which is why almost everything in their place is up for sale. Potential buyers would visit them on a regular basis to survey for anything valuable to invest in. Chiquita is the more outwardly confident person, while Chela is introverted but a remarkably observant woman.
One day, they receive a letter from the authorities—that Chiquita must serve some time in prison for charges of fraud. Alone and trying to face a new reality, Chela inadvertently becomes a 'taxi driver' for a local group of wealthy senior ladies. Brun's performance, understated as it is, relies heavily on her repertoire of naturalistic glances, as she looks around her environment (be it during her weekly prison visit, or as she waits in her car etc.) without showing any real emotions. The suppression of her emotions into her consistent facial expression, which I would describe as a 'look of quizzicality', is a sheer delight to see. Together with Martinessi's sensitive direction, The Heiresses gives us a rich, and at times, melancholic thematic treatment of the dialectical tension between the fear of loneliness and the desire for companionship.
Shot in Asunción, The Heiresses is the first Paraguayan film I have ever seen, and amongst some of the higher-profile Latin American films that I have managed to review that emerged in recent years, including Argentina's Zama (2017), Chile's Neruda (2016), Venezuela's From Afar (2015), Colombia's Embrace of the Serpent (2015) and Mexico's Güeros (2014). It may not be flashy or an astounding piece of cinema, but it is certainly a fine work whose unhurried pacing gives viewers the time to breathe and take pleasure in its marvelous subtleties.
Verdict: With a lead performance this delicate by Berlin Best Actress winner Ana Brun, this Paraguayan drama about an upper-class elderly lesbian revels in its sensitive direction and unhurried pacing.

North Adams, Mass. — Sunday's trip to Joe Wolfe Field for the 2017 New England Collegiate Baseball League's All-Star Game got off to a rocky start for the 12 Upper Valley Nighthawks all-stars, and several of their teammates who decided to tag along.
The bus, which left at 9:30 a.m. following the Nighthawks' 13-inning loss to the Valley Blue Sox on Saturday night, needed to arrive at the field by 11:30 a.m. to be part of the NECBL's day-long festivities, but broke down 15 minutes in. A new bus had to come and pick the stranded Nighthawks up, tacking on another half-hour to the two-hour drive to the home of the North Adams SteelpleCats.
Upper Valley outfielder Anthony Godino, who participated the NECBL All-Star Game last summer as a member of the Winnipesaukee Muskrats, said he hoped the early snafu wasn't a sign of how Sunday's showcase was going to go.
"That was a test," Godino said with a laugh. "Like, is this day really going to be really bad? Because it's not starting good."
Luke Reynolds, at least, didn't need to worry. The Southern Mississippi product, who started in left field on Sunday, capped an early run by the Northern Division All-Stars with a two-run home run into right field, and Danny Wirchansky, Ashton Raines and Cory Gill each pitched a shutout inning in what resulted in a 5-5 tie after nine innings.
"This is a great honor because there's a bunch of great players on both teams," Reynolds said. "It was an honor to be a part of it. To meet all these guys, it's fun."
Sunday's showcase was, for many of the 60 players in attendance, a chance to shine in front of close to 30 scouts from Major League Baseball who sat directly behind home plate, many holding out radar guns to detect velocity.
Godino, at least, knew what to expect.
"What's really important is the batting practice, that's when they assess your tools," he said. "The 60-yard dash is huge, because if you run a good time there, that obviously shows you have speed. They're testing your arm, infield and outfield routine, and then batting practice they're seeing if you have bat speed, you have power, stuff like that.
"If you can put together a solid day, which is really hard to do, but if you can do well in the beginning, you kind of set yourself up for the rest of the day."
Reynolds was one of the Northern Division's best players on Sunday, finishing the game 1-for-2 and two RBIs.
"A little adrenaline pumping (knowing the scouts were watching)," Reynolds said. "It wasn't really nerves. It was just fun to be out here. … (Having scouts around) is always in the back of your mind. You kind of just have to block it out."
The Keene Swamp Bats' Robert Boselli III, from St. John's, won the league's home run derby before the game, beating out Valley Blue Sox outfielder and NCAA Home Run Derby winner Niko Hulsizer (Morehead State). North Adams' Curtis Godin, a track star from UCLA, won the 60-yard dash.
Sanford Mainers outfielder Colby Maiola, from UMass Lowell, was named the All-Star Game's most valuable player. He finished 3-for-3 with two runs scored, including a home run in the bottom of the first to put the Northern Division on the scoreboard ahead of Reynolds' two-run blast.
"You just tell these guys not to think too much (about the environment) and just play the way that got them here," said Upper Valley head coach Jason Szafarski, who coached the Northern Division All-Stars on Sunday. "They're all good players. Don't put too much into what you did today. They look at your whole body of work. They look at tools. A lot of these guys will get a chance to play pro ball, and that's really what it's all about."
Raines gave up a hit and recorded a strikeout in the second inning; Wirchansky threw nine pitches and forced three pop-ups in the third; and Gill, who pitched two innings in Saturday's loss, had a strikeout in the eighth.
Godino was 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. Frankie Gregoire struck out; Al Molina struck out twice and Ryan Jeffers popped up to center field in the eighth.
Much of the afternoon was light-hearted in both dugouts in front of an announced crowd of 2,316 in North Adams. The sentiment was shared by the six Nighthawks who made the trip down to support their teammates. Keller Bradford threw to his Southern Mississippi teammate, Reynolds, in the home run derby; James McConnon mingled in the Northern Division bullpen for much of the game. Mike Coss, David Sampson, Adam Chase and Joe DeRosa were also out and about at Joe Wolfe Field.
"You want to be on your A-game all the time. But today, yeah, today is the day is like, if you're going to come out and have a good day, today has got to be that day," Godino said. "It's nice to get hits in the game; I wish I played a little better but, you know what? It's a good experience.
"This was a lot of fun; coming to the All-Star Game is always fun. It's an honor to be put in here."

's-Heer Arendskerke
Just down the A58 highway from Goes-the-shops, 's-Heer Arendskerke is a fine specimen of a Zuid-Beveland village.
It was established around 1100 on the banks of the Schenge, a channel that used to run from Zuid-Beveland to the island of Wolphaartsdijk. The once-heaving harbour, now long gone, was well-connected: Veere, Antwerp, Rotterdam, Goes, local villages … Hop on board! Heer Arend, of the Van Schenge lineage, is the Lord of the castle who lent his name to the village. The castle is no longer, its stones having been used to reinforce dikes.
The village ('dorp') is a typical blend of a ring village with a main street, now the Vermetstraat, tucked in. Its attractive church and ring are still intact. Both the main building and tower of the Petruskerk, also known as the Dorpskerk, are listed monuments.
In the adjoining hamlet of Eindewege (end-of-the-line), the Nooit Gedacht corn windmill stands out, visible from afar. The name = 'who would have thought? …' Built in 1872, it replaced the original mill destroyed in a fire. That same year, the main railway line was laid. Its workforce needed housing, hence Eindewege.
The main dike, now the Oude Rijksweg, is part of the first dike built in Zuid-Beveland. On the village outskirts, you'll find many old and listed farmhouses. One such is the early 17th-century Arendshoeve – a 'hoeve' is a farmstead, Next to its majestic main house is a baking shed, and a large wooden barn with a hip roof of reed thatching. A scale replica of it all stands in the Madurodam model town up in The Hague. Not our province, but worth a detour!
Another type of farm is Speelboerderij 't Klok'uus play centre. Its large covered and open-air playgrounds offer the perfect blend of all-weather fun, for all ages, no less. More details of this and other attractions are in the 'see and do' section of the VVV Zeeland website.

4 to 8 pm followed by a small dinner
The workshop takes place in English with whispered translation to Czech if required
For barrier-free access please contact +420 222 516 982

To participate please register in advance until Wednesday September 20th by emailing to email@example.com
Since May 2015 Feminist Health Care Research Group conducts self-organized and self-empowering research into health care. We, Alice Münch, Julia Bonn and Inga Zimprich, work as a local group in Berlin. Our weekly research meetings also function as a site of mutual care. Our research consists of learning about and trying out methods and exercises within the group, and by visiting and learning from initiatives, groups and institutions, who have developed alternatives in health care. In the past two years we particularly engaged with pedagogies of second wave feminist struggles and with the health care movement, which emerged during the 1970ies and 1980ies in West-Berlin. The health movement publicly questioned the patriarchal and misogynist health care system and developed alternative institutional models and practices of healing. As an important part of our research we meet with protagonists of the health movement to learn about demands, practices and working models. We make our research public by developing workshops and publishing zines.
At tranzit tisplay the Feminist Health Care Research Group presents its fourth zine "Working Together", which summarizes methods, exercises, questions and working formats, which have helped us in forming a self-organized research group. While we learn learning about issues of health, care and self-empowerment our research practice and methods frequently intersect with the topics of our research. How does one form a group, which makes space for sharing vulnerability, for sharing experiences of the body, of illness, and for sharing needs, particularly as artists? How do we relate our research to our actual feelings and our relations to each other? How can we allow that what we learn as Feminist Health Care Research Group really takes effect in our lives?
"Working Together" can either be read as a manual for setting up a regular group yourself, as instructions for small workshops or as a framework for self-reflection. Its form is largely inspired by our research into second wave feminist self-help, consciousness-raising and counseling groups, which issued practical advice, hands-on instructions for forming groups and running self-empowering meetings. With the workshop and zine "Working together" we want to propose ways in which methods from second wave feminist struggles can integrate into our practices as feminist cultural workers today: Making space for the personal, for our needs, meeting regularly in supportive groups and not lastly acknowledging how our seemingly subjective and isolated experiences make part of a larger political articulation: Voicing our shared need for mutual care.
On Health, the first issue of the series Multilogues on the Now, seeks to question hegemonic narratives, normative patterns, and the marginalised discourses and invisible practices connected to ideas of health, sickness, dis/ability, cure, therapies, treatment and medicine(s) in late-capitalist society. We are interested in positions, practices and theory ranging from the social to the individual, from institutional to self-organised, from academic to artistic, from theoretical to practical, and from local to translocal.
From self-maintained health clinics to dealing with diseases both individually and in the community, from the medicalisation and pathologisation of the human condition to a social model of physical and mental alterity, from social healthcare movements to institutional medical care, from pharmaceutical industry mechanisms to (bio)political relations connected to cure and treatment ... all types of bodies and minds are invited to interact, join and influence the program.
Workshop is a part of accompanying program of the Multilogues on the Now: On Health edition. More info: http://tranzitdisplay.cz/en/vystavy/multilogues-now-health

The Business Group Blog was created to share and discuss information about challenges and solutions to the health care benefits issues that large employers face today and tomorrow — such as controlling health care costs, reforming the health care delivery system, and engaging employees in their health and benefits — and will provide insight into national health policy issues. We hope you find this information useful and will consider subscribing to the blog and sharing any thoughts or ideas with us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Lyme disease, caused by a tick-borne bacterium, doesn't typically affect a large amount of employees, however those who are suffering from Lyme disease often experience frustration in getting care to manage these symptoms. A small minority are even debilitated by the disease, preventing them from working and maintaining a good quality of life. Here are 5 strategies employers can use to help support employees to avoid or manage Lyme disease.
Success cannot be defined nor sustained by one dimension of our lives. Our physical health affects our work performance, and our job satisfaction affects our emotional well-being in and out of the office. The lessons we learn in one role make us stronger in another, but we oftentimes find ourselves in conflict between responsibilities. A workplace culture of health and flexibility can assist employees in achieving work-life harmony and position businesses as employers of choice.
Do you have a best friend at work? If so, chances are you're more engaged in your job than your peers without one.1 You may even be more successful at engaging your customers or clients and produce higher quality of work.2 While it may seem counter intuitive to some, research shows that having strong social bonds with coworkers is associated with a number of positive business outcomes, including those mentioned above. In fact, research also indicates that even minor increases in social cohesiveness among employees can lead to large gains in productivity.3
A recent study by Truven Health found that 42% of employees are stressed. And while 27% of employees say that they're coping, 15% are not.1 "Stress is a reality for most, especially when the work itself is by its very nature stressful (such as health care)," says Laura Putnam, author of Workplace Wellness that Works and CEO of Motion Infusion. "But the real question is how do we become more resilient in the face of these demands?" The answer, Laura contends, is to "make it the job of every organization, every leader and every manager to ensure that resilience-building practices, such as offering compassion, expressing gratitude, exhibiting positivity, and prioritizing well-being, are modeled, encouraged and normalized at work."
In our modern world, flexibility is the freedom to thrive in and out of the office, and it's what women want. Today's top talent is attracted to forward-thinking, flexible, and family-friendly workplaces.
After decades of growth, women's participation in the U.S. workforce has been declining. In 1990, the United States had the sixth highest female workforce participation rate of 24 OECD economies. By 2014, it dropped to 22nd.1 Research indicates the lack of family-friendly policies accounted for approximately 28% of the relative decline.2
Accountable care organizations (ACOs) are being considered as one the key strategies in the next frontier of efforts to improve health care delivery and control health benefit costs. Roughly one in four large employers plan to pursue an ACO strategy in 2017 and that number is expected to grow in the coming years. However, employers have many questions about how ACOs deliver value better than the network models they offer today. To help employers better understand and evaluate ACOs in their markets, two groundbreaking tools have been released by the National Business Group on Health.
Stephen Schwarzman, Chairman and CEO of global private equity firm Blackstone and chair of the President's Strategic and Policy Forum, published a letter to the editor in the Wall Street Journal on June 19. His letter was in response to an earlier WSJ editorial on paid family leave, "The Ivanka Entitlement," which critiqued the President's 2018 budget proposal requiring states to provide six weeks of paid family leave for new mothers and fathers, including adoptive parents.

Playart's very rare Accord Hatchback in approximately 1:54 scale. For a cheap toy, the detail is quite remarkable. Made in Hong Kong, the Playart Accords come in various carded blisters – which tend to be even rarer in good shape. The Playart casting was also used for the Kidco carded/branded Accords. Painted black metal bottoms were the norm for this vintage.
This version is green with white and black graphics and a #32 on the roof.
Playart's Accord Hatchback was rebranded quite a bit. Kidco's only Honda in matchbox size. At approximately 1:55 scale, this Accord hatchback lacks the quality of the Tomicas but is similar albeit occasionally slight better liveried than their Playart counterparts.
From a Tough Wheels carded blister. Hard to find a blister that's not naturally falling apart.
A Sears Roadmates carded one in green that's similarly decorated as the Playart version

A stormy winter day in Nova Scotia is the perfect time to set up a page dedicated to warmer sunnier places. Look for general information and accommodation tips here.
Cuba is, so far, my favorite spot. I am blessed to have friends there who take me to all sorts of fun and interesting places. It is an affordable place to go for a winter break and chill out at a resort type place. I love the music and art, the colonial buildings and the lack of commercialism.

The leadership gap – when meetings go awry
My best advice is to take ownership of your own leadership development. Listen carefully to significant others before deciding your own development outcomes. Give yourself time to develop new capacities, rather than expecting immediate results. By defining what success looks like for you, you can choose indicators that will help you to effectively track your progress
Diana Jones, Leadership Material p200
The leadership gap – when meetings go awry
How often are you in meetings where
- The conversation goes into irrelevant details
- Someone is holding forth and it is unclear what is important
- Someone is holding forth and they are definitely off topic?
What is happening? Essentially there is a leadership gap. What does this mean? The leader has lost their way, or group members are anxious of the consequences if they were to redirect the meeting or the meeting chair senses whoever is talking is more 'senior' than they are; by age, expertise, experience or perceived hierarchical position.
At this point the purpose of the meeting is lost. Everyone waits for someone else to take action. Of course no one wants to 'shame' someone else in a group and by calling attention to what is happening, this is a possibility.
What to do? In a recent senior leadership team meeting I was observing, the discussion was lively, progressive and possibilities for fresh and strong working relationships between two allied divisions were being agreed. The GM of the allied group belatedly joined the meeting, and proceeded to focus passionately on context. Group members went silent. They were figuring out how to participate. Frustration and impotence was apparent.
The topic limped to a close with agreement to further discussions. The meeting structure of chair and topic sponsor stopped working. The leadership gap was evident.
How much do you value your time? Every group member has responsibility to ensure meetings are purposeful and productive. This takes courage. If you value your time, intervening AND refocusing meetings is part of your leadership repertoire.

A thirty-eight-year-old woman came to see her GP as she had fainted twice in the last week. The second occasion was the day of the consultation and her work had suggested she see a doctor. She had only fainted once before in her life, when she had influenza, and she could find no obvious reason for this. As she had felt pre-syncopal very early in her two pregnancies she wanted pregnancy ruled out; she had been amenorrhoeic for eighteen months. She had no other symptoms pertaining to pregnancy. The patient told her GP on questioning that in the past, she had fallen pregnant normally and fairly quickly after several months each time. She was P2, G2, had two children aged five and eight years and did not want more.
The faints were preceded by clear pre-syncopal symptoms and the second time she avoided complete loss of consciousness by sitting with her head between her legs for several minutes. There had been no injuries associated with either episode, no recent illness and no history of recent head trauma. This lady had had Implanon® inserted almost three years previously and already had an appointment with her gynaecologist to have it replaced in two months' time. She was on no medications and had no medical problems. She looked well but tired, and was of normal weight. Her examination and vital signs were normal.
The GP tested the urine for infection and the urinalysis was negative. The urine test, however, was weakly positive, signifying a pregnancy. The woman was shocked. The test was followed up by a quantitative (as opposed to qualitative) serum BhCG at the time and she was given another pathology form for another quantitative BhCG to be measured in three to five days' time. The initial test showed a serum BhCG level of 105U/L, consistent with a four to five weeks' gestation. The repeat test done four days later showed no detectable BhCG. The patient was informed that she was no longer pregnant.
BhCG is a hormone produced by the placenta and the levels approximately double every two to three days in a normal pregnancy until about twelve weeks, when they plateau off.1 Serum BhCG levels rapidly return to zero, with a half-life of two to three days if the hormone is no longer produced.1 The serum BhCG levels becomes positive one week approximately after conception (i.e. a week before the missed period) at a level of 25U/L.1 The fact that the urine test was positive independently suggests the patient was at least four weeks' pregnant at presentation, as this is the lower gestational limit of most commercial urinary pregnancy test kits.
The issue of an ectopic was not seriously considered in this patient at the initial presentation due to the extremely low level of pregnancy hormone, the lack of any abdominal pain and then because the pregnancy hormone later became undetectable. However, if the pregnancy were ongoing, the possibility of an ectopic would have needed to be considered, as this is more likely than in natural conceptions with no contraception.2
The product information about Implanon® (etonogestrel implant, 68mg) states clearly that the device should be replaced every three years and in this patient was due to have the device replaced shortly.
Despite this, the Implanon® in this case is still very likely to have affected the implantation of the embryo, given the fact the patient had been amenorrhoeic (atrophic uterine lining). Amenorrhoea occurs in 20% of women using Implanon®.2 However, there is normally a high rate of early miscarriage, mainly due to factors pertaining to the genetic normality of the embryo, and so this is an alternative possibility. In this patient's situation she had recommenced ovulation and hence conceived despite her amenorrhoea. Recommencement of ovulation is more likely after 30 months in patients using Implanon®.3
This patient was of normal weight, but the product information offers a warning about the use of Implanon® in overweight women:
"Serum concentrations of etonogestrel are inversely related to body weight and decrease with time after implant insertion. It is therefore possible that IMPLANON may be less effective in overweight women, especially in the presence 24 of other factors that decrease serum etonogestrel concentrations such as concomitant use of hepatic enzyme inducers."2
Regarding the risk of pregnancy in women using Implanon® the product information states:
"In the subgroup of women 18 to 35 years of age at entry, 6 pregnancies during 20,648 cycles of use were reported. Two pregnancies occurred in each of Years 1, 2 and 3. Each conception was likely to have occurred shortly before or within 2 weeks after IMPLANON removal. With these 6 pregnancies, the cumulative Pearl Index was 0.38 pregnancies per 100 women-years of use."2

This section features different time signatures, tricky technical passages and some of the initial motifs from the start return. The music then slows down for a melodic euphonium solo followed by a cornet solo which gradually builds to an emotional climax. The music gains tempo for a final sprint to the end, where the music finishes with a climax of rich chords and fanfares.
