The use of special-purpose radiobeacons, either manually or automatically activated by an aircraft crash or maritime distress situation, reduces the time required to alert the appropriate authorities and for final location of the distress site by the rescue team
IMO Requirements
The 1988 amendment to the Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974 (SOLAS Convention) establishing the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) mandates that ships of 300 tons and over carry a Satellite Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (Satellite EPIRB). This carriage requirement became effective on 1 August 1993. Cospas-Sarsat compatible 406 MHz EPIRBs satisfy the alerting requirement of the GMDSS.
ICAO Requirements
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) recommends that, from July 2008, all aircraft under the jurisdiction of the ICAO Convention carry an Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) operating on the frequency 406 MHz for compatibility with the Cospas-Sarsat System, and on 121.5 MHz for "homing" purposes.
National Requirements
Various national requirements also exist for the carriage of ELTs/EPIRBs on various types of craft not otherwise subject to international conventions, and some countries have authorised the use of 406 MHz Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs) on land, in remote or rugged areas.
A large number of 121.5 MHz beacons are installed on board light aircraft and carried on board pleasure craft, either as a result of voluntary fitting or in response to specific national carriage requirements. These users should consider replacing their 121.5 MHz beacons with 406 MHz beacons as the satellite processing of 121.5 MHz emission was terminated on 1 February 2009.

A blooming cultural experience away from the crowds
The National Day vacation may be over but that wonŌĆÖt bring an end to travel-hungry culture vultures looking for more enlightenment. And, with the curtain of autumn well and truly open, tourists looking to take in the beautiful sights, sounds and smells of nature, Hangzhou, capital city of Zhejiang Province, is expecting another cavalcade of visitors to view its blooming flowers, colorful leaves and vibrant hues.
More than 17 million tourists descended on Hangzhou during the National Day holiday. Broken Bridge, one of the most popular scenic spots in the area, was so packed with travelers that a nearby telecommunication base failed, which caused all sorts of problems for cellphone users.
But, if youŌĆÖre looking for something a lot less frantic and stressful from your forthcoming travels, Shanghai Daily is recommending tourists refrain from visiting the more well-known attractions and take in some low-profile villages with cultural features, instead.
Not long ago, the Ministry of Agriculture announced the 2017 China Beautiful and Leisure Villages Recommendation List to the public, and six hamlets in Zhejiang Province were included.
Guzhu Village ķĪŠµĖܵØæ
The eastern side of village faces Tailu Lake, and other sides are surrounded by hills. It is dubbed the ŌĆ£natural oxygen barŌĆØ because of its lush vegetation and high oxygen air level.
In addition to picturesque scenery, the village is home to famous Zisun (Õć£µźŚ) tea, which was highly praised by Lu Yu, respected as the ŌĆ£sage of teaŌĆØ in Chinese history. Local officials used them as tributes to royal court in the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907), which made the variety famous across the country. Today, it is still a noted specialty in Changxing County.
Enriched tea culture has been retained throughout the dynasties. A tea ceremony performance team consists of native residents. Nowadays, it is a must-see program for visitors.
Fennan Village µ▒ŠÕŹŚµØæ
The village has a long tradition of protecting the environment, proven by a stone tablet erected more than 100 years ago. It clearly stipulates that residents are banned from littering the rivers and felling in the forests.
Villagers have stuck to this rule for over a century, and the environment has never been sacrificed for economic development. Meanwhile, the villagers have preserved historical architectures and kept the original appearance of the village.
Antiquated bridges and houses have been renovated and they have become features of the hamlet. In recent years, local authorities gave a facelift to the place and upgraded infrastructures. Natives cashed in on the leisure tourism trend and opened family-run guesthouses, providing homey accommodation and local food to tourists.
Longmen Village ķŠÖķŚ©µØæ
This village in Fuyang County might steal thunder from the village with the same name in Kaihua County, however, its namesake is now catching up, thanks to improvements to its developing traveling industry.
First of all, villagers have augmented the area of growing tea. Tender leaves and a fragrant aroma characterize the local tea variety. Hills are shrouded with mist, even on sunny days, creating the ideal conditions for tea. A high-quality environment of fresh air and fertile soil in turn produces high-quality tea.
Meanwhile, local residents breed Qingshui fish and run eateries, cafes and restaurants to lure tourists. Qingshui fish is a local specialty that has found favor with gastronomes in the big cities. It features tender meat and umami flavor due to unique growing environment.
Xikeng Village Ķź┐ÕØæµØæ
Throughout dynasties, the Ye and Ding surnames have dominated the village. Their ancestors left more than 20 buildings dating to the Ming (1369-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties and 40 folk houses built in the Republic of China era (1912-1949). Today, these antique buildings are still in use, and some are used as ancestral halls for worshipping forefathers.
Lush bamboo forests cover these ancient buildings and provide locals with raw material for arts and crafts. Bamboo-woven knickknacks, daily necessities and utensils that display sophisticated knitting techniques and simple designs can be found throughout the village. Most residents are skilled in the art of braiding bamboo.
Since the village sits at the bottom of a valley, mists shroud it throughout the year. Morning is an ideal time for shutterbugs to capture the village.
Lijiakeng Village µØÄÕ«ČÕØæµØæ
The village dates back more than 360 years after ancestors moved here from Henan Province. They settled down and built a complex of traditional buildings with painted windows and carved beams. These Ming and Qing dynasties-style constructions have been well preserved throughout the centuries and considered the epitome of classical Chinese architecture.
Different from common traditional houses in the Jiangnan region (in the south area of lower reaches of the Yangtze River), these quadrangles integrated northern Chinese architectural characteristics with the Jiangnan style, creating an uncommon design in Zhejiang Province.
Today, most of the villagers are surnamed Li, and an ancestral hall of Li family still exists in the village. It witnesses the familyŌĆÖs glory days in the past and a development track in modern time.
Zhilin Village ĶŖØµ×ŚµØæ
It is situated at the northern end of the undulating Siming Mountain range. With lush vegetation, serene creeks, rolling hills and pouring waterfalls, it is an ideal getaway for travelers with families.
The village was built a millennium ago when a traditional Chinese medicine physician traveled to the area and discovered a variety of herbs in the mountain ranges.
He and his family were the original residents of the village. They were believed to be the offspring of the highly skilled doctor Sun Simiao (AD 541-682). The villageŌĆÖs name means ŌĆ£entering forest and picking herbsŌĆØ in Chinese, which implies its origin with traditional Chinese medicine.

Katrine's Corner: Christmas Party at Admiral Hotel
Hi everybody and merry Christmas. Last Friday I was attending a snowball Christmas Party with my colleagues from Canal Digital, so I have come into the Christmas mood :) The Party was held at Admiral Hotel in Copenhagen, which was a beautiful place to hold a Party. I really loved the cozy environment and also the food, which consisted of Danish Christmas buffet, tasted really good. After the dinner, there was a live band playing pop music from the 80s, so I spent most of the evening and n...More

Well I've turned nine… And it was great!
Because first and foremost the Popperola birthday party on that silly, extra day February 29th was wonderful! Yes, it was a treat and I would like to thank everyone involved, everyone that lend a helping hand, the people of Club Montreal (Leuven), all the people who showed up to dance and everyone that sent wishes and gave beautiful presents. Last but not least I'd like to show my deep deep deepest gratitude to Raoul Belmans and Stefan Goldmann, who were amazing to have as djs. Okay, I'm almost out of superlatives!
Now, some news on a different front: on February 16th, the first monograph of visual artist Tinka Pittoors was presented in Museum M in Leuven, Belgium. I had the honour to write a large text in the book and was granted the opportunity to edit the whole thing. Tinka Pittoors is a Belgian artist who creates colourful installations, assemblages, sculptures, paintings and drawings that consist of found objects – mostly related to garden decoration and road signalisation – and constructed elements. Last year, I curated an open-air exhibition with new pieces of Tinka in Leuven's Botanical Garden (check it on my Portfolio pages if you like). From that moment, we discussed the possibility to conceive a book that 'd give an overview of the artist's career this far and that would lay out some directions that her oeuvre could possibly take in the future.
The book, which is titled "Tinka Pittoors. Symbolic Violence", is published by Tinka herself and the graphic design is done by Kim Beirnaert and Pierre Stubbe, two highly talented art book designers who have worked with several important artists and institutions in the past. And I must say in all modesty: it just looks stunningly good!
"Tinka Pittoors. Symbolic Violence", 2012
Dutch-English, 96 pages
Essays by: Tom Nys and Dominique Legrand
Excerpts by: Christine Vuegen, Ruth Loos and Jan Van Woensel
Edited by: Tom Nys
Graphic Design: Kim Beirnaert & Pierre Stubbe
You can find more information about Tinka and her work on www.tinkapittoors.com. Through this website, you can also order the book.
Finally, here are some photos of the book presentation night:

Manisha Gawade is a trans-national who has been trained in various forms of painting including glass and textiles in several parts of the world as a matter of choice. And yet she refuses to be bound by mere grammar of surfaces and styles to reach out and explore a form that is hers alone. She transcends the regional to bring to her work the horizon of a truly global citizen and yet there is a rootedness in her work that has the whiff of the Indian ethos – not self-consciously, but simply and naturally. Her work pulsates with energy that is the life blood of her chosen medium. An extensive traveller, the multiple experiences from her journeys come through in her work as it resounds with hues that are awash with the dazzle of the desert and the pinnacle of the mountains.
An artist who believes in constantly upgrading her artistic skills, she often undertakes newer journeys to explore vistas of her own creativity. Not hidebound by various 'isms,' she has the courage of conviction to develop her own pedagogy to give form to her expression.
Her work forms part of some serious art collections in Paris, London, Argentina, Dubai, Muscat, Bahrain, Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bangalore. Manisha's work has been a part of 50 group exhibitions and 3 solo exhibitions in Dubai, Delhi and Hyderabad. She has also been a part the prestigious National Exhibition of Art of the Lalit Kala Akademi at Bhopal, India November 2006.

But, Easter Sunday, as it's known in Christianity, is actually considered the most important and sacred Sunday of the entire year. It marks the anniversary of Jesus' resurrection and ascension to heaven — and observing this holiday can teach Christians a lot more about faith than bunnies. Here are some fun Easter Party Fruit Plates

No fantastic new photo here today, but
one that is very meaningful. These are my feet. For the first time since I was 14 years old I can turnout easily with no pain to almost 90 degrees. I was in a number of car wrecks growing up, one of which put me in the hospital. By the time I fell in love with dance I was already destined for back pain and issues but fought it every day causing more issues in my ignorance of how to deal with the ones I had. My back got weaker and weaker and my hips tighter. Muscle strains and pulls were too common and I had a new ankle injury almost every month and even broke my foot. Eventually I could hardly dance. It took 45 minutes before my body would loosen up to really move in class and performance lacked endurance and quality. The more I struggled the more I pulled back from the dance world, taking fewer and fewer classes, turning down offers from schools and socializing less. I turned to academics and began to teach, eventually pursuing undergrad studies both Bible and Elementary Education, and it was in school that I met and married my wonderful husband who had a lot of work ahead of him.
It was while I continued to try to teach our first year of marriage that my back problems became acute. He had to carry me up and down the stairs of our second floor apartment. Sometimes I couldn't get in or out of the car without help, or even get dressed. My muscles were frozen through my back and legs and massage relieving pain but not fixing the problem. A physical therapist diagnosed me with myofascial pain syndrome. He was partially right, and I wish now that I had been living in a place that had more experience treating dance injuries. The reason the fascia in my legs was aggravated and inflamed was because I had almost blown a disc in my lower back. We didn't find that out for almost two more years.
God is so gracious. I was so close to breaking my back completely and with the help of a good friend a team of support, which my husband spearheaded, I began to recover! I could bend again, pick up my children. I even started cooking again! Dancing took longer but I held on 🙂 I was last year that I really started to move again and to gradually rebuild my body, but my technique had suffered terribly and the weak muscles which had begun my problems as a teenager were still underdeveloped or inactive. I kept on dancing but I've been depressed and thinking I would never really be able to perform at peak level again. And then, just two weeks ago I started reading and studying work by a dance physiotherapist in Australia who helped me understand what I've been doing wrong, which muscles NOT to use, which muscles needed my help! and today I had my first breakthrough 🙂
Easy, pain free turnout!!!
For the first time in years I really feel like someday soon I'll be able to create and perform all of the pieces I've created in my journals, to see those God given stories come to life. And I feel like that feeling isn't going to go away this time.

Sometimes it can be hard to ask for help when we need it the most. But asking for and receiving help can get you a lot further that you can imagine.
Children are such a blessing.
There is nothing like seeing your own children come into their own. The time between their birth and their entry into kindergarten can seem like a snap of a finger.
It seems like one day they are depending on you for everything; holding them, feeding them, rocking them to sleep…And very next day, you're fighting back tears as they are walking across the stage to receive their diploma.
There they go!
They are off to college and transitioning into adulthood.
And that's when we hope that we've done right by them.
This is when it's all put to the test.
Will they screw up big time or and make us proud?
No one wishes that their children will screw up, but it just might happen. One of the toughest things about being a parent is allowing your children to make mistakes.
Let's be clear, we've all made mistakes, so we know the ropes. However, some of us choose to keep going through those ropes, while others do what we want to see our own children do — ask for help!
Asking for help is not a bad thing. It's not a sign of weakness or inadequacy.
In fact, the most successful people out there receive ongoing help and are accountable in some way, shape, or form. We love it when our children are accountable and keep it real with us when they need help.
So why do we struggle in this same area with one of the most crucial things in our lives? Money.
Your financial coach is like that parent that wants to help you. They aren't there to judge you or to make light of any financial struggles you may be having. Their goal is the same as a parent:
they want to see you do well without having to go through unnecessary hardships.
Leadership guru John Maxwell said,
"A wise man learns from someone else's mistakes; a smart man learns from his own mistakes, but a fool doesn't learn at all."
That can seem harsh, but I'll venture to say that we've all had frustrations with our children, especially when we can foresee what they don't, but they refuse to have regard for our insight.
We want them to learn from our experiences. It can be the same for your coach.
Their desire is simple: to use their expertise to help you become a financial success.
So, if you've struggled with being accountable with your finances up to this point, I have some good news for you:
Today is a new day.
You can get a fresh start today, and transition from being the one who refuses to learn…to the wise one who has no shame in getting help and who takes advantage of their coaches expertise.

Have you ever reached a point in your life where you absolutely need a large amount of cash and you've exhausted every available option? You've tried to borrow from family, use credit cards, and even sell a few possessions, but you're still coming up short - that's when you know it's time for a payday loan. This is a great resource in times of need, but should really only be used in the worst case scenario. Sure, you may be tempted to take out a small advance so you can do some shopping over the weekend or purchase a big ticket item, but that typically leads down the path to debt. If you're not financially responsible, taking out multiple loans can eventually cost you a lot of money. Some people find themselves overwhelmed by unsecured debt, but you can avoid that by only borrowing what's necessary and having a plan to pay it back. Here are some common situations where a payday loan might be useful as the worst case scenario.

"The last time we spoke, you told me that you felt like you were trapped in tight lid jar, care to elaborate on that ?" he said, tilting his green horn rimmed glasses on the edge of his nose and rubbing his hands as if under imaginary running water. These sessions began with him pulling out a red Reynolds pen, an item he shipped in cartons from Lagos. He usually placed them in a black calabash on his desk, away from what he called " prying nostalgic Nigerian hands."He did everything with an eagerness, a vigor that only came from a place that was genuine and pure, and that made her uncomfortable. Where professionalism failed, flamboyance intervened, every thing he did, from the stroke of his pen, to the way he blew cigarette ashes off his shoulder was outlined in elegance. He always crossed his legs, revealing the cleanest socks lined with eccentricities, and when he listened to her problems, his right hand casually creating stories of her demons on paper, he did it painlessly, perhaps that was why she was here. There was a small hole in his left ear, which indicated that at some time in his life, when youth did not prepare for age, he had thrown caution to the wind, said "fuck you" to expectations and gauged it. He rarely ate in front of her, but what he did do was smoke packets of cigarettes and apologize profusely for what he called " bad therapist behavior" as he gave her a shoulder pat on her way out, even though this was a ritual they both practiced . She had been open from the beginning, willing to let herself be exorcised by this unfamiliar creature, an experience she never let herself have with other therapists. When she asked her school's counseling center to be matched with a university counselor ,she wasgiven a list, and without much thought, picked the name Klaus Nzeogwu . What Nigerian in their right mind was named " Klaus"?
" I dont know if I feel like that anymore" . she replied lightly, scraping her fingers at the bottom of her purse in search of a cigarette. " Am I still allowed to smoke in here.. want one? "
" Call me Klaus, we have to establish a more personal space for you here"
"You're a Nigerian counselor, there will always be a wall " she said.
" If I was an American white counsellor would it be any different?"
" It would, but then there wouldn't be alligator peppers"
"You made allusions to me performing, what do you mean?" he ignored her.
" yes perform, we're all performing here, me , you and your hidden tattoos and peacock feathers, it's all a performance" she said , fishing the broken end of a Marlboro from her purse and lighting it anyway.
"You think that life is a performance?"
" Is it not? Everything we do is for the front stage, the real cracker barrel is who we are when the curtains go down". She unraveled the giant braid bun on her head and lit individual braids on end with her cigarette.
" so we are not who we are when we are performing?" he asked. " Who you are with me , is not who you are with your parents, they don't know the intricacies about you"
" They don't care to know, so who I am is limited to my graduate school degree, potential job offers, and when the time comes ….a husband" she said, blowing circles in his direction.
" Is the equation really that simple Njideka? I mean you are generalizing Nigerian parenthood based on your experience"
" With Nigerian parents.. yes klaus.. yes it is" she continued. " They don't care that I like to draw with chalk on the sidewalk, or that I've been published several times in the literary journal or that my sophmore year my hair was falling out in chunks because I was stressed. This is our middle class curse. I'm here as a representative of all the things they failed to accomplish, and the moment I embody anything disgraceful, I am silenced, I am no longer a part of them."
" Is that what you feel like now? silenced"
"I was raped.. I was raped by my own father, and the shame fell on me anyway. It was my fault. somehow it was my fault."
The room was silent now, as if a forbidden secret had been shared. Both parties stared at each other wondering how the whisper had changed the moment. Klaus wondered why she had not cried. Her face was stoic, void of all emotion. She admitted to the horror as simply as she did everything else.
" I remember what it felt like. My head pressed against the glass screen door.. it felt like an outer body experience…like I could see myself being raped. I still can. I remember it every single day, and because I remember, I dream about it . I remember my mother watching from the corner in their room"
" You tried to hang yourself in your father's bedroom"
" I was just trying to see what it would be like to have a noose around my neck, his ceiling is the highest"she replied, a small smirk forming on her face.
" lets not make this an amusement Nji"
" It was a performance"she replied. " I wanted to punish him, the way he had punished me."
"So now you want to quit? You feel that taking your own life is the best option , even after all the things you have accomplished at your age?"
' Yes Klaus.. I want to quit." She replied.

The Frankenstrat Diary documents the momentous transformation of a lifeless piece of gear into a sonic beast... the creation of the Frankenstrat!
Hello, my name is Loren Claypool. For the last year I've been imagining a customized signal-driving guitar that would be my Swiss army knife for tone generation. Neither conceived nor intended for traditional guitar tones, the Frankenstrat is the Ron Popeil Pocketfisherman of guitar sounds. I engaged the thinking of mad scientist, guitarist and guitar-tech extraordinaire Sam Hubbell for the final design and ultimate build out of the Frankenstrat. As Sam said, "this one will take a pot of coffee". Here's what we're up to.
First, the base unit is a 1999 Fender Roland-Ready Stratocaster, which includes a built-in GK-2A guitar synthesizer pickup. The craftsmanship on this Mexican-made instrument is surprisingly good, however, some of the components are upgraded. The tuners are replaced with Fender Schaller Locking Tuning Machines, the standard strap locks are replaced with Schaller Straplocks, the trem-block is replaced with a Fender Vintage trem-block, the string tree is replaced with a Fender American Series string tree, and the bridge saddles are replaced with Graph Tech Tusq Man-Made Ivory bridge saddles. The fingerboard is waxed and the edges are hand rolled with the frets nicely dressed. This completes the "structural" work on the guitar and provides a solid, well-balanced base upon which the madness can occur.
The real magic begins with the electronics. In addition to the synth control capabilities inherent in the instrument, the bridge pickup is replaced with a Fender Red Lace Sensor and the middle pickup is replaced with a Fender Blue Lace Sensor. This provides for excellent signal generation in two varieties to drive electronic processing devices. As the coup-de-grace, the neck pickup is replaced with a Sustainiac Stealth Plus, a device that allows the guitar to sustain indefinitely, or at least until the battery runs out! The guitar volume pot is replaced with a push/pull pot - it is still the volume knob but also turns the Sustainiac on and off. The tone pot is replaced with a push/pull pot - it is still the tone knob but also puts the Sustainiac in standby mode, enabling the Sustainiac to function as a neck pickup when the sustainer is in the off position. Finally, a mini-toggle switch is added to control the harmonic mode of the Sustainiac.
The synth units are a Roland GR-33 and a Roland GI-20 (used to drive soft synths). I can use the guitar to generate the synth and guitar sounds separately or combined. The setup also allows for MIDI generation from the fretboard utilizing traditional guitar techniques to trigger hardware or software synthesizers.

Most horseplayers, myself included, clamored for legalized sports betting, thinking it would be a gateway for sports bettors to become horseplayers. With respect to that conception, it's WAY too early to tell.
However, now that it's here, its reception and promise for the future is being questioned in every precinct, from state houses to sports fans to sports bettors and, ultimately, horseplayers and the racing industry itself
A recent online poll indicates that the sentiment for sports betting being beneficial to racing hovered at around 60-40 in favor of historical racing over betting on sports. As of yesterday, that opinion has flopped the other way.
More states are looking into the feasibility of installing legalized sports betting, the Commonwealth of Kentucky for one. The bluegrass state is doing so carefully in the best interests of the racing and breeding, as it should.
Representative Damon Thayer, who I met back in the day when he was a racing industry intern, measured his words carefully at the recently concluded Sports Betting Symposium at Keeneland. He remains as loyal to racing as ever, perhaps to a fault.
Some of his ideas to insure that outcome appear politically savvy but in the end short-sighted. Thayer said that sports betting legislation would need to include a "competitive tax rate" to compete with nearby states also seeking sports betting legalization.
Then he wants those sports betting dollars to include guaranteed funds for breeders of Thoroughbreds and Standardbreds with a possible imposition of a surtax on winnings. Thayer probably left New York before the surcharge ravaged New York's Off-Track Betting system.
At last week's conference, Thayer told Daily Racing Form that sports betting on mobile phones was problematic on religious grounds and that protections for horsemen must be in place, otherwise "it won't get past me."
Thayer envisions bricks and mortar initially before looking forward. What he may not realize is that sports betting needs to break sharply from the starting gate. Mobile technology already drives wagering, more so with each passing day.
While representatives from racetracks, racinos, marketers, bet-takers and media discussed process, it was Ed Hannah of The Stronach Group who zeroed in on the real issue facing both groups; the cost of wagering.
Hannah explained that, on balance, sports bettors understand that takeout hovers at around 5.5%. "Racing will need to examine its much higher takeout as it tries to attract new customers and retain current players."
The consensus was that horse racing and sports betting can co-exist and that racing has more to gain from a crossover of sports customers; the other way around not so much. Said Hannah:
"People putting money in their [online accounts] will notice that difference… The average sports bettor can make a $100 deposit last much longer than the average horseplayer. We have to do a lot of thinking about takeout."
MIXED REVIEWS FOR TVG's SPORTS BETTING PROGRAMMING
To say that sports betting programming got off to a rocky start THIS PAST Sunday would be to undersell it. The TVG Network and FanDuel Group's two-hour "More Ways To Win" has potential, once producers realize that two straight hours of stats and opinions can't be all things to all NFL bettors.
However, the two-part one-hour "Barstool Sports Advisors" show that starts the orgy of stats and opinions is an embarrassment, a flat-out tout show replete with "mortal locks," the kind of tawdry presentation that gives the handicapping process—and interested bettors, for that matter—a bad name.
This three-headed monster features a loud host and louder analysts who make outrageous claims about what they know, inside information that no one else has, etc., etc. It's nothing that even a recreational gambler hasn't heard before.
In an informal HRI poll of legitimately recognized sports handicappers, host Daniel "Big Cat" Katz and founder/analyst Dave Portnoy did not get all negative reviews. But no love was shown for Stu Feiner, called by some "the biggest fraud" in his profession.
Feiner's on-air persona was the template for the Brandon Lang character in the 2005 sports film "Two for the Money." Lang, a former college football star who sustained a career-ending injury, takes a job handicapping football games.
As the slick John Anthony, played with stylish cool by Matthew McConaughey, Anthony becomes a handicapping star on a slickly produced, highly rated tip show, "The Sports Advisors."
But that's where this model ends. Feiner is by no means slick, and production values to this point are nonexistent. However, someone did say one thing worth hearing and remembering: "Good teams win; great teams cover."
The show will not attract the coveted upper scale demographic bet-takers and the sport itself seeks. Indeed, it's a waste of time. If you have respect for the process or are a Millennial with discretionary income, a TV set, an NFL jones and is seeking a sports betting educational primer, you won't find it here.
"More Ways To Win" does show promise, however. Professionally hosted by "SportsCenter" veteran Lisa Kerney, the team is a good one. TVG's erstwhile host, reporter and handicapper Dave Weaver and Fox Sports TV and radio host Jason McIntyre bring professional savvy to the table.
Veteran football host and sideline reporter Dani Klupenger of NBC Sports Northwest and Fantasy expert Brandon Funston make significant contributions to the program in their respective roles.
All games are covered in 90 seconds or less with updated information, injuries, suspensions, weather and the like, but it's too much to absorb all at once. The frenetic pace can take its toll on viewers down the homestretch.
And one gets the feeling that if the program can manage to throw enough data and opinion at people on both sides of a game or proposition in two hours, and some of it sticks, somebody can't help but look good.

The glimmer of the limes, sun-heavy, sleeping,
Goes trembling past me up the College wall.
Below, the lawn, in soft blue shade is keeping,
The daisy-froth quiescent, softly in thrall.
Beyond the leaves that overhang the street,
Along the flagged, clean pavement summer-white,
Passes the world with shadows at their feet
Going left and right.
Remote, although I hear the beggar's cough,
See the woman's twinkling fingers tend him a coin,
I sit absolved, assured I am better off
Beyond a world I never want to join.

Your baby has a mind of their own and it's important to let them exercise it independently of you. A bit of alone time in the first year of life will do wonders for their self-confidence, which, at this age, is the ability to be by themselves. This will help them in other aspects of their lives; most notably in the middle of the night so they don't immediately start wailing and wishing for companionship if they wake up.
Sitting them down with an interactive toy is an excellent way to encourage this kind of development. It's also an good opportunity for you to take a quick parenting break to go do something else, as you'll find moments like these to be in short supply.
When you're ready to try independent play with your baby, the first and most important thing you should do is find a safe place for them to do it. Enclosed areas like playpens or playards are the best because they're surrounded by padding and there's nowhere for your little one to go. This isn't to say you can't choose an open space, but make sure the surface they're sitting on is soft so if they topple over mid-play they don't bump their heads on a hard floor.
When choosing interactive toys for your baby, look for ones that have lots of different things to do. The more there is to keep them occupied and engaged, the better.
Another excellent way to encourage independent discovery is through mirrors. Babies are mesmerized by their own reflection and will learn a lot about themselves as they consider the person staring back at them, even if they don't know who it is yet.
Of course, reinforcing what they learn through independent play is just as important as giving them the opportunity to do it in the first place. Once in a while, when you set them down for a self-discovery session, hover in the background out of their field of vision and watch what they do. When you come back, use the toys as they did, regardless of whether or not it was the 'proper way', to help them further develop what they learned.

William Thapelo Mashaba, Drama Director, Bokamoso Youth Centre
Born in Winterveldt in 1985, Thapelo is an accomplished musician who dreams of owning his own recording studio. He is the music and drama director of the Bokamoso Youth Centre. He says the most challenging aspect of the position is working as a group to choose which songs they will perform because limited time means they must leave out so many songs they love.
Thapelo graduated from the Centre's program after joining LoveLife at the suggestion of a friend. After graduation he trained in child care through a post high school program funded by the South African government.
His mentor was a social worker. He completed the child care program in 2004 and became a youth mentor and facilitator for the Bokamoso Youth Centre in 2005. Also, in 2005 he worked in acting and directing with another local workshop. In 2006 and 2007, Thapelo came to D.C. with the Bokamoso tours staying with the Davis family and Petersen families. In 2011, he became the Centre's drama and music director.
Thapelo and his wife are the proud parents of two young children. With his earnings, Thapelo has purchased property in Winterveldt and dreams of providing better housing for others. He loves history and poetry, as well as music, and reads extensively. Often, Thapelo journeys to the nearby community of Soshanguve to participate in their radio station's "open mike" performance opportunities broadcasting on Saturday afternoons. His family has known many tragedies including the death of his father who was killed while riding in a taxi when his driver was shot. Thapelo has an older brother and two older sisters.

Appointments and Billing
We do not provide Primary Care services. This allows Dr. Albert to spend significantly more time with each patient without interruptions for acute care problems. Unless otherwise arranged, Dr. Albert spends 2 hours on the initial visit and 1 hour for follow-up appointments. Dr. Wright usually spends 1-1/4 hours for an initial appointment and ½ to 1 hour for follow-ups. Please see
What to Expect from Your Integrative Medical Evaluation for a thorough explanation of how we work with patients.
Because of the extensive amount of time scheduled for your first visit, Dr. Albert requires at least 5 business days notice for initial-visit cancellations (Monday for the following Monday and so on). This allows us to contact other new patients and gives them a chance to see Dr. Albert sooner. There is a $125 deposit due at the time the initial appointment is made, which is applied to the non-insurance reimbursable portion of the visit. The deposit, minus $25 fee, will be refunded if the cancellation occurs at least 5 business days before the initial appointment.
For specific information about our billing policy, please call our office at 434-984-2846. For general information regarding the rationale for our policy, please see An Explanation of Our Billing Policy.

Silver contacts are either made of pure silver and are soldered on copper strips or copper contacts are coated with a thick layer of silver. In both the conditions silver can be recovered with nitric acid (HNO3).
If the silver contacts are soldered on copper strips, you can cut the copper strips with a cutter to separate silver contacts from them. Now put all the silver contact points into a stainless steel pot. Take one part of nitric acid (68%) and one part of water and mix them together. Now pour this dilute nitric acid in small quantities onto the silver points in the stainless steel pot. The copper and silver will react with nitric acid and start dissolving into it. This reaction produces some smoke. So, either you should do it in the open or in a room with exhaust fan, so that the exhaust fan should send all the smoke out into the air. Keep pouring dilute nitric acid into the pot till all the metals dissolve into the solution. Now there are two metals in the solution in the form of nitrates that is- Silver nitrate and copper nitrate. First, we will recover silver from this solution. To do that, take HCL (Hydrochloric acid) 35% purity. Mix HCL with silver nitrate solution in small increments. Stop adding HCL to the solution when silver chloride stops separating from the solution. Decant the solution when silver chloride (AgCl) has settled down to the bottom completely.
Heat up some water and add it to the silver chloride. You can use a plastic pot for it. Take round iron pieces of around two inch diameter and half inch thickness. Put these iron rings onto silver chloride in plastic container. Slowly move around these iron rings for some time with a wooden rod. Silver chloride will start changing color and converting into pure silver. Stop stirring the rings when there is no silver chloride left in the container. Now you have got pure silver dust. Take out the rings; wash the silver dust with plain water three times. Dry this dust, and melt it into a solid piece of silver.

I do think that Essie Mint Candy Apple is one of my favourite nail colours, but it's always one I forget about! Such a pretty, Summery shade!
|Essie Mint Candy Apple
Of course pretty much every brand out there has their own version now, but there's something about Essie that makes me love this one the most. I think it's the bottle… Essie bottles just look really nice.
This is two coats, and a Zoya top coat. It definitely needs at least two coats. It dried fairly quickly, despite applying before bed I didn't end up with pillow-print nails. Happy days!
What's your favourite summer nail shade?
I bought this.

Let's face it: The past several years have been challenging. Employees that have a job are stressed out. More often than not they are doing the work of several people. Their supervisor runs around mumbling "be glad you've got a job" and things of that nature. Employers are often sending a message to employees, and not the one that is intended.
2.6 million jobs were lost in 2008. Everyone knows people out of work, friends and family both. In May of 2009, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate had risen to 9.4%. Across the board, Americans felt losses of income, employment, wholesale-retail sales, and industrial production. It might be a natural conclusion that companies would take this opportunity to trim expenses, including employee recognition programs whose ROI are hard to track.
The reality is that this is far from the case. While it is difficult to track the return on investment, recognition programs clearly have a positive effect on employee morale and cutting these programs would cause that to plummet.
A recent study showed that 75 percent of HR managers indicated they are maintaining their employee recognition programs. This is even though they are cutting the budget in other areas of the company. Another 5% indicated they had increased their recognition budget. This is done while knowing that further layoffs are coming and these cuts will impact productivity levels.
In order to measure success metrics, companies recognize that they need to have employee recognition programs in place. To make your employee recognition program successful, measurable and personal, you need to start with the end result in mind. How can your company business strategy be linked to recognition in a measurable manner? This is key, and doesn't require complicated analysis. Senior management needs to buy into your recognition program and lead the way. If you want to improve employee satisfaction by 6%, then find a metric that can be measured and use that to drill down to get results. Since "employee satisfaction" isn't readily measurable, look instead at employee participation levels and other indicators of employee engagement that you have. Recognition programs are key indicators of employee participation. Identifying key supervisors that are lacking in recognition training becomes apparent when measuring participation levels. Those that are giving recognition regularly have higher participation and satisfaction levels.
Another measurable metric is manager utilization of recognition. You may set a target of 75% manager utilization. If your managers understand and use recognition, they are more likely to take advantage of a system to practice giving it. With that system in place, you can see which managers are using the recognition system and which are not.
Next step is to analyze your existing programs and identify which ones are working and which ones are not. Use employee surveys and ask employees directly what kinds of treatment they like and what they don't. Various firms offer surveys in cultural assessment and can offer cost effective surveys that will deliver on the spot metric results.
Implementing the right program is a key step to making recognition strategic and allow you to capture employee recognition activity in an efficient maner. Depending on the programs involved, you may want to outsource the administration of the program. Recognition nominations and reward redemptions may need to be on an outsourced platform if your staff can not support it. Don't tackle projects that you can not support long term.
As you study your metrics and understand the results, what does the data tell you about the workforce and employee recognition? Your data has to be measurable. How many employees were nominated in the month of July for the Mentoring Award? If you have a formal system in place to track this, it is possible to assess participation rates by managers and employees. This data can then be correlated to employee engagement to assess participation rates.
Measure employee attitudes with straightforward survey questions. Make sure your employees feel empowered and free to answer and express their true thoughts in a open and candid maner. We have seen the best success from companies that have:
- a framework for strategy
- have executive buy in
- the systems in place to capture data and effectively measure their employee recognition practices for ROI justification.
Measurement of recognition metrics will also show employee accomplishments and areas for employee improvement. When the time comes to evaluate, having the data is the key to success.
Do you struggle with ROI on employee recognition programs? One area to look at is comparing the production of the long-term employee with the cost to attract, recruit, train and retrain a new employee. Employee turnover costs and retention rates are quantifiable. You can use this as you look at justifying length of service recognition programs and the value to the organization.
Employees like recognition. It can be a pat on the back, a formal thank you, a group presentation, an incentive, a gift or a symbolic award. If you have the opportunity to upgrade your recognition, now is a good time. Success is measured by the stories we hear, the data that is produced, the money saved, the talent we train and the smiles on our employees' faces during this recession. This proves why we need recognition programs.

#1 As a patient of Cliff Crain for three years, I had the opportunity to see a wide variety of his techniques and results. I have found him to be extremely observant, resourceful, and helpful. He has helped me personally better understand myself, my interpersonal dealings, and key relationships.
Cliff was also helpful to my spouse and me, working together with the two of us, helping us solve several core issues and providing useful tools with which to experiment and explore. I also had other family members meet with him, and all seemed to find him easy to talk with and we all felt he was objective in dealing with all of us. Overall, my family is very pleased that I have gotten help from this professional.
I have seen several different therapists in previous years / locales. Cliff was able to diagnose several issues that had been long-standing with other professionals and actually help me RESOLVE the issues. In one case, a diagnosis he made led to collaboration with my general practitioner/Doctor - and a practical solution to a long-standing issue was identified...leading to a definite increase in the quality of my life.
Cliff also seems to have a variety of "expertises" including the ability to address groups. He crafted sessions for a men's group that I'm part of and the group seemed to really enjoy the two 1-hour sessions that he ran. His knowledge of men's issues, couples issues and basic approaches to "negotiation" outcomes between parties was excellent.
I have sent friends to Cliff to pursue counseling and will continue to do so. He is smart, gives out great resources (and "homework" if desired between sessions), is courteous, and seems to genuinely care about his clients.
Randy – university instructor
#2 I've known and worked with Cliff for nearly 20 years, first as a suddenly single parent with toddlers, in later years dealing with couples and step-family issues, and more recently meeting with Cliff's men's group, discussing "big picture" issues about life, relationships, and mindfulness. Cliff is wise, kind, insightful, and patient. He always has an interesting anecdote, or helpful article, that illustrates or explains a new idea or approach. Aside from gaining self-awareness and support, I've also learned a great many practical things from Cliff that had an immediate impact my life and the lives of my family members. I would highly recommend Cliff to anyone seeking help with parenting, relationships, and life transition issues.John B – attorney
#3 I must start by saying, my life is far better because of Liz Hannigan ! So many aspects I never knew could be improved by therapy have. Literally every aspect of my daily life has been influenced in a positive manner. I've been able to dissect past issues and how they created current problems. The work pays dividends forward that magnify and help you regrow your wings. I can't imagine a single person who wouldn't benefit from Liz' help. If you're reading this take the next step in faith and put in the work. Your future self will most definitely thank you for what it does to improve your life.John C – chiropractor
#4 Cliff Crain has been a colleague of mine both in school settings (the Pleasanton Unified School District) and in private practice settings for nearly 30 years. He is skilled working with a variety of clients. His style is engaging and he authors wonderful articles and newsletters on a variety of topics helpful for parents and couples. He is skilled at individual as well as group therapy and supports his clients' growth and well-being from his years of experience, clinical wisdom, and his wide knowledge base. I highly recommend Cliff as a therapist who is skilled, compassionate and dedicated. He is an excellent therapist and a man of high integrity.Lennie – elementary school counselor
#5 My experience with Cliff Crain and the Center for Creative living has been extremely positive. Through a friend's recommendation, I was referred to the Center and I am very grateful, to this day, for that recommendation.
I have been seeing Cliff Crain on and off for seven years; originally for couple's communications and relationship enhancement; but as life went on, I became challenged with harder and more difficult issues. He helped me have a better understanding of my son's issues as my son dealt with depression, anxiety and PTSD.
I have gone through a great deal of personal growth and development in the area of self-esteem enhancement. I found Cliff to be a skilled therapist with techniques that proved very helpful. As a result, today I have achieved more happiness in my marriage, with my family, and with my friends. Always professional, Cliff has helped me in all the above-mentioned areas, as well as helping me deal with life transition issues. My aging parents have been diagnosed with terminal illnesses, and Cliff has been most supportive.
I cannot imagine what my life would be like if I had not started getting support at the Center with Cliff Crain. He has been able to help me look more clearly at my life and help me make sense of why certain events have occurred and how I can best deal with issues. I am truly a better, happier person since seeing Cliff. I know I will continue to grow personally and be a more patient, loving and self-aware person because of my work with him.
I give my highest recommendation to those seeking counseling to see Cliff Crain at the Center for Creative Living in Danville.
Lori – interior design specialist
#6 I found the Center for Creative Living through the internet and I can't thank Cliff enough for his continued support for many years. I had gone through a devastating divorce and found Cliff very calming, non-judgmental, encouraging and trustworthy. Therapy is a process and it is amazing the clarity you get when you look deep into yourself. Because of Cliff, I am stronger, more confident and more authentic in my relationships, whether personal, business or social. Thanks also to Liz who headed a women's group that was very helpful and a wonderful support system. I have recommended Cliff and Liz to many people through the years and have never heard anything except positive feedback from my referrals.Cindi – legal secretary
#7 I have had the good fortune of being a colleague of Cliff Crain's for the past 11 years. We have co-led the Danville Men's Group for several years and have attended various professional trainings together. His work, with its rigorous common sense approach, speaks to both men and women. Cliff's approach is informed by Eastern wisdom traditions (such as mindfulness) and he is a skilled practitioner of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, which is an integrative therapy that helps one access, reprocess and integrate unresolved or traumatic memories and events from the past. He is also a valued educator offering classes to support families and individuals.
I have witnessed Cliff's compassion, emotional intelligence and the wisdom of personal experience and reflection in the therapeutic process. Additionally, we have collaborated in working with couples and families where he has earned my respect and appreciation as well as the respect and appreciation of those in his care. I cannot recommend Cliff enough for those on the journey of discovery and healing.Greg – Marriage & Family Therapist
#8 I met my fiancée after he and his ex has been separated. To my surprise, divorce can mean forever when there are kids involved and even jealousy after one parent has remarried. My fiancée and I met Liz and Cliff through the divorce court system, which sent us to www.4creativeliving.com. A class had been offered by the Alameda County for free, but it is no longer the case because of the state budget. The class taken at the Center helped and taught both my fiancée and me to stay strong and positive, and how to avoid the other ex-spouse's negative talking and jealousy. The class gave different strategies about how not to put the kids in the middle. I would recommend a co-parenting class/workshop given by the Center to ALL divorced parents/families even if you are a third party or don't think you really need it. You will be surprised what you can learn and it is better than Kidsturn.Lindsay – homemaker
#9 I have had the privilege of being a colleague of Cliff Crain's for the past 15 years. We worked together as counselors in the Pleasanton Unified School District and also as Marriage and Family Therapists in our own private practice offices. I refer people to Cliff because of his level of expertise as well as his warm, welcoming and effective approach. He does AMAZING work with couples, blended families, co-parenting, and children. He also is an excellent individual therapist. I only make recommendations to people that I trust are experts at what they do and I know have the capability to help people learn to create a life worth living. The person who can do that is Cliff Crain. I am very lucky to have him as such a reliable resource. I HIGHLY recommend Cliff Crain to anyone seeking therapy.Beth – middle school counselor
#10 I met Cliff Crain & Liz Hannigan at a 40 Assets Seminar in Pleasanton, CA (Pleasanton Adult Education). Since then, my former husband & I have been going to Cliff Crain at the Center for Creative Living for at least 3 years. Cliff helps us navigate and work through the inevitable challenges of a co-parenting relationship after divorce. Cliff has been extremely helpful, professional and knowledgeable. I appreciate Cliff's ability to bring to the table an objective view while offering solutions that help my ex-husband & I co-parent in a mature manner. He has helped us in making the best decisions for our three children. I highly recommend Cliff Crain, his experience and ability to remain neutral has helped our family significantly.Cissy – teacher
#11 I have had numerous co-parenting issues with my son's guardian and myself. After meeting with Cliff Crain for a co-parenting class I was hooked. The class was very informative and helpful along with the other workshops offered by the Center for Creative Living: 1-2-3 Magic, Proactive Parenting, and Parenting Teenagers to name a few. I found the Center to be a great place to learn new and positive techniques about raising kids. I highly recommend Cliff Crain as an outstanding therapist and teacher.Hans - security officer
#12 I have the highest regard for Cliff, not only as a very skilled and knowledgeable therapist, but as someone possessing extraordinary patience, wisdom and kindness. I have known Cliff for many years, and he has helped me immensely during, by far, the toughest times in my life. Through sessions with him, I have learned a lot, particularly in the area of self-understanding and mindfulness. His patient, empathetic yet straight-forward and direct, honest approach strikes a really effective balance in my opinion. I have also benefitted from working with Cliff in group counseling sessions, as he fascilitated a Men's Group I was in for several years. It became clear to me that he treats everyone with the same kindness, respect and professionalism that I had benefitted from during individual sessions. I would highly recommend Cliff to anyone in need of a great therapist.Lynn – stock broker
#13 At an early age I dreamed of working as a firefighter. I made it to the big leagues working for one of America's largest cities and on one of the busiest firefighting companies. My career ended suddenly due to an industrial disability and I had to figure out my purpose in life. After working briefly with other counselors, I became discouraged, as no one seemed to understand what I saw as a firefighter and how much the job defined me as an individual. I met Cliff and began a long journey, healing not only from the physical, but the mental wounds of working as a first responder. Cliff is caring, knows when to dig in to make you challenge your beliefs, and will always be there to support you in life's journey as you grow. I owe a lot to Cliff and am grateful for finding him out of the masses of "counselors." Cliff is a true professional. He was an early pioneer in treating PTSD using EMDR. I am pleased to recommend him as a quality therapist.Drew – Marketing Executive
#14 I am a child sexual-abuse survivor. My stepfather used me as his sex toy in our trailer from the time I was 9 years old until I was 13. I grew up with no one believing me about being abused, including my mother. She just told me "Don't rock the boat." and "Get over it."
When I was 14 my mom and stepdad divorced. Mom and I moved to another state. At my new high school I soon got a bad reputation. My teenage years became a time of promiscuous behavior blurred by drugs and alcohol. I am sometimes amazed that I survived those years. Later, as a young adult, I escaped my home environment by marrying an abusive narcissist. We soon had three children. Finally I got divorced and soon after remarried. This second marriage - like my entire life to that point - became filled with dishonesty and squabbles. I did not know how to speak up for myself and/or set boundaries. The downward spiral of my life finally brought me the help I needed.
To "fix" my second marriage, I began working with a therapist doing couples counseling. The therapist wisely told me that I needed to work on my early childhood trauma. He recommended EMDR with Cliff Crain. I made an appointment at the Center and that has changed my life.
Now, in my mid-forties, I feel I am finally becoming an adult. I have learned the following: to have compassion for the little girl I once was, to forgive those who have hurt me, to honor my feelings, to set personal boundaries, to negotiate for my needs, and to live with personal integrity. I am still with my second husband and we live a relatively normal and happy life. Thank you Cliff.
I want to highly recommend Cliff Crain as a compassionate and skilled therapist.
Tasana – bank manager
#15 I would like to recommend Cliff Crain as a counselor/personal coach. My mother met him years ago when he was teaching a single parenting class. She liked him and took me as a high school student to start therapy with him. My father died when I was a Freshman and I was struggling with high school. Cliff has helped me, over the years, find my way. He was there for me as I struggled with in my phlebotomy school. He was there for me as I finally found a job in my new field. He has been there as I struggled finding housing. He was there to help me make some sense of some of the turbulent relationships I have had with girls over time. I found that, no matter what problem I have had to face, he has been there to support my growth. He's been my 'rock'! I still see him and value the time I have spent in his office.Zeek – phlebotomist
#16 Several years ago my girl friend asked me to try counseling. I have always been a loner and somewhat uncomfortable around others. After working with Cliff Crain, I came to find out that I had been struggling with Asperger's syndrome my entire life. I also deal with Chrone's Disease. These two medical issues have impacted many aspects of my life. Not understanding about Asbergers cost me my first wife. Cliff was the first professional to accurately identify my problem. I am much better now (even my girlfriend thinks so). Although I am still an introvert, I feel much more confident about myself and how I am relating to others. I give Cliff 'two thumbs up' as a skilled professional therapist and as a caring man.Kenny - computer programmer
#17 I suffer from anxiety and have had panic attacks for much of my adult life. As a professional, part of my job was standing up and speaking in court. I had to hide my anxiety from co-workers and clients. It got to a point where I thought I might lose my job as a litigator. That brought me to the Center for Creative Living. I had taken some parenting classes in Pleasanton and met Cliff Crain in his role as a teacher. I felt comfortable with him and asked him to help me with my anxiety. As it turned out, he was able to put an end to my panic attacks, lessen the severity of my anxiety, and he even helped me become a better husband and father. I have referred a number of my friends to him. At this point, I have come to see him not only as a skilled professional therapist, but also as a true friend. I give him high praise.
Tom – attorney
#18 I found the Center online and made an appointment seeking help with my girlfriend. I am a practicing doctor and in my professional world I have always felt quite competent. Socially, though, it's a different story. I have always struggled. Migrating to California from Thailand by myself, after growing up in a large family, I found myself lonely and strangely ill-at- ease in the presence of young women. My girlfriend accused me of being controlling and she encouraged me to seek counseling. Working with Cliff Crain has changed me in very positive ways. Cliff has helped me become pro-active. He has introduced me to Covey's "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" and he helped me understand and adopt many of the life skills that are contained in that powerful book. I am still a work-in-progress, but I am much happier; and, "Heh", my girlfriend is much happier with the new me! :)
I highly recommend Cliff for people, like myself, who want to learn better relationship skills. He is very supportive and can be a great resource.Somsak – MD

We called him 'Uncle Muncle'. This photo (below) was taken at my christening in 1992. When I was small he used to take me out on day trips – to a museum, or we'd have lunch. He took me to the ballet for the first time, and I cried because I didn't want to leave. I said, 'Can you ask them to do it again?'
He lived with us for a bit, when I was about 10. My mum and dad were always casual about breakfast and my sister Kesewa and I were left to our own devices, but Uncle Muncle took it upon himself to make feasts, which he'd get up really early to create, and he'd always make us try new things like kippers. Everything had a story behind it: so when he gave us pomegranate, he'd tell us about Persephone.
We'd sometimes go to his house for sleepovers at weekends. He was really strict about things like manners, finishing our meals, speaking in the right way, writing thank-you letters; it was annoying at the time, but everything we've learnt has come from my parents or Uncle Muncle. When it's your parents you're more likely to rebel, but with a godparent, you really want to make them proud.
He used to make us incredible outfits for every school play, every Hallowe'en. I remember being in Oliver Twist and I had the whole ensemble – ragged shorts, waistcoat. I overshadowed Oliver, and I was in the chorus! And he made Kesewa this amazing anaconda outfit, with satin snakes going all around her. We always won the Easter bonnet competition.
He was my godfather but it was as if we were both his children really, we were like a family. He went above and beyond – he wouldn't just give me a doll, he would take me to the fabric store and then help to sew all these outfits for it. He had 13 god-children – he had to stop saying yes, in the end.
He had this amazing quality of making you feel so important and special. I've met so many interesting people through my mum and dad but he was magical – everything was an adventure. I learnt so much from him.
For my 18th birthday he gave me a silver and diamond heart necklace, and then for my 21st he made me an amazing piece of jewellery: an emerald, which is my birthstone, with little pearls on it. He organised my 21st birthday party, with my aunties, in Cumbria. We had an amazing tent and fireworks and he did all the flowers – and pink lighting, and incredible food.
When I was really sick he was at my bedside the whole time. I wish I'd known how ill he was; but I think he knew how much we loved him. I visited him two weeks before he died. He said, 'You're wearing the necklace I gave you.' There was something different in his face; he definitely wasn't himself. I told him about a massive charity event for Save the Children I was involved with and even from his hospital bed he said, 'Come back and we'll plan it all out.' I didn't see him again.
I feel really lucky to have been so close to him: when he was no longer there, I realised how much of my life was ingrained with him. All those moments – when he built us the wendy house, when he let us put frogs in his pond, when he made us eat hideous pumpkin risotto. When I look at his Instagram and see all those pictures of me, and of Kesewa… He was so proud of us, which is so nice to know. I was proud of him as well.
