Tuesday 1 July 2014 – Media Release
Canary Wharf Group plc Helps Generate £1 billion of Business for Local Companies
Canary Wharf Group plc (CWG) has announced that it has helped to generate over £1 billion worth of business for local companies since 1997.
Over 1,700 local companies have benefited from this milestone figure, delivered through Canary Wharf Group's business support initiatives and joint ventures.
While much of this business relates to the Group's developments at Canary Wharf, the economic impact of its activity is widening as it continues to expand its footprint in the City and on the South Bank.
The Canary Wharf Estate is located on the site of the former West India Docks. The closing of the docks resulted in a period of high unemployment and economic inactivity in the area. Canary Wharf Group has always sought to invest in the local community and its initial phase of construction secured over £48 million of business for local companies.
In 1997, during the second phase of development at Canary Wharf, the Group set up a Local Business Liaison Office for small and medium enterprises, helping them bid for contracts both on the Estate and in the surrounding area. In the 11 years between 1997 and 2008 the Local Business Liaison Office helped local companies secure over £615 million of business.
Following the success of this project, Canary Wharf Group extended this service across ten East London boroughs at the request of the London Development Agency, establishing a joint venture called the East London Business Place (ELBP) with ten London Thames Gateway boroughs and the East London Business Alliance. Over the last six years, led by Canary Wharf Group, ELBP has built up a strong reputation in establishing contracts with SME suppliers in East London, helping them to procure over £160 million of business since 2008 through various projects including:
• Bishops Square Procurement Support Programme for Tower Hamlets Council
• Access to Finance for Business Growth with Tower Hamlets College of Further Education
• East London Supply Chain Network within the Institute for Sustainability's FLASH programme.
East London Business Place provided the model for its sister project, the CWG/Qatari Diar South London Procurement Network and, in partnership with Newham College of Further Education, is delivering the Fit for Legacy programme which is part-financed by the European Regional Development Fund. More recently, it has secured funding to deliver the third phase of the City of London's Ready to Supply the City programme.
Gay Harrington, CWG Social & Economic Development Manager and Director of ELBP says: "We are delighted to have reached this significant milestone, which highlights just how important our support is to the local business community and the economy. We value the partnerships we have formed to ensure that our business support activities help more local companies to become fit to supply, increase their confidence, competence and success rate. This will create a legacy of a more competitive and sustainable business community and ultimately, a thriving economic platform for local people to secure jobs".
These support initiatives and joint ventures have helped the Group reach the £1 billion local business milestone.

The art of putting the ball into the goal.
- Shooting is basically a choice between power and accuracy.
- Shooting requires trunk rotation.
- Arm extension will give power on the shot.
- Pulling the bottom hand adds snap to the shot and makes goalie hard to follow.
- Distance between hands determine the balance between power and accuracy, the further apart the more accurate while the closer together the more powerful.
- The best area to aim for is the off hip-side of the goalie.
- Distance from the goal decides balance among force, quickness and accuracy.

Defining your Relationships
Mother fuckers always think they know some shit and then they want to call me "foul mouth"?
Defining your Relationships Under the umbrella of Intimacy and any other kind of way.
You know you have probably really got it going on. You got on your little monkey suit, a microphone and whoring yourself out. Is there any less corruption in church, politics... than any other place? Is there more learning in life or in school? Does our system of educating really prepare us for life?
We teach you to put yourself in a box, only to pit ones in the box agains those outside the box - confusion, chaos... Then, those who put you inside the box get to have everything.
You must understand you are in backwoods Georgia and motherfuckers ain't wanting you, they ain't going to allow you to do shit, including ourselves. They talk about me like a dog, but I ask myself: Mr. Obama is a better man than me, do they treat him any better? ARe you doing any more for me than you do for him? And he is a good man.
They don't want to make shit easy and for the life of me, I do not understand why. Why must you wait in line for government shit. The same shit for which you paid taxes and they fraud. You vote and pay for leaders protect and serve you but all they ever do is make it harder and give excuses.
Look at our leaders, politicians, they do just the opposite of what they tell you to do. Then you do it and get no fucking where except deeper and deeper in the hole.
Where or what happened to your ability to be effective and efficient? It's not what you say, as much as it is what you do. Now, you don't know whether to eat vegetables or already prepared foods? You no longer know up from down and that is a dangerous situation. The difference "between" a man and a woman?
Why the hell must I define my relationships to anyone, including myself? They condemn you to hell!
The nature of your relationships, why do you try to explain them? Women are always asking, what kind of relationship do you have with them? Men are always suspicious of what kind of relationship you have with them. Now, here comes your children with what kind of relationship you have with them?
While you focused on telling them, sex education said you weren't doing a good enough job. Now, sex education understands they are not doing a good enough job. The department of family children and services say none of you are doing a good enough job? That children know best. What next?
Do you know those crazy kind of people who are always trying to put you in a box, a box with them and if what you say does not match to what they think you ought to say, you are going to be condemned. You say I made you a hypocrite? How in the hell can I make you anything - relationships?
Even on your jobs, they want to define with whom and what kind of people you can associate. Now, all of that goes against any kind of Human Rights, humane treatment or Humanity.
Who are the guilty ones? The guilty ones always want to know. They want to know more about your relationships than you yourself. The crazy part about that all is, the more you attempt to explain, the more they use what you say against you. Why do you feel compelled to explain, why do you feel compelled to ask?
The nature of ones relationship is their own fucking business. It is not for you nor appropriate for you to inquire about what I got to do with John. If you have any concerns, then you should act accordingly and everybody understands. That will cut our crime rate in half.
Under the umbrella of intimacy, did you know you can have an intimate relationship without ever putting your dick in someone or seducing them? We give our own meaning to words and therefore never understand the full meaning of what we really want to say? And on this one point, I say, do not ask a question if you are not ready for the answer and asking someone if they are intimate, does not ask if you allowed them to put their dick inside. You've got an intimate relationship with God don't you? Does it matter about gender or any other demographic information? Domestic violence cut in half.
As soon as you explain one thing, then there's another. For that reason you can never accurately explain the nature of your relationships. You will "always" be lying. Relationships are constantly changing. What you said today, will not be the same tomorrow. Today, you are just friends, tomorrow you may be sleeping buddies or dead.
We are so busy defining relationship, when we cannot keep our own. Look at our children, marriages, communities... Now, you understand why. What if I asked you, what is the nature of your relationship with God. You would be forever explaining.
Asking that question does not put you in the know, but adds another iron to your fire to keep up with and then you are going to say, "they lied". People are only going to tell you what they want you to know.
Healthy relationships are open, honest and nonjudgmental. Every human being should be accepted, embraced and we all will grow together. Are you more perfect than the least of them?
Attempting to define the nature of your relationships is futile. They should all be just the way you know they should and anyone looking on should expect. What good is a relationship without expectations? We're all the same, so why should you have any different expectations? The only question is, whether or not your relationship will ever get there?
Be good and treat every human being with respect. Not that phony ass shit with whom you are accustom, but the New, on the edge, out of the box, New Age Shit. Be the change in the world you want to see.
To whose beat are you marching?

Kir3.3 (or G-protein regulated Inward-Rectifier K+ channel, GIRK3) is a member of the family of inward rectifying K+ channels. The family includes 15 members that are structurally and functionally different from the voltage-dependent K+ channels. The family's topology consists of two transmembrane domains that flank a single and highly conserved pore region with intracellular N- and C-termini. As is the case for the voltage-dependent K+ channels the functional unit for the Kir channels is composed of four subunit that can assembly as either homo or heterotetramers. Kir channels are characterized by a K+ efflux that is limited by depolarizing membrane potentials thus making them essential for controlling resting membrane potential and K+ homeostasis. Kir3.3 is a member of the Kir3.x subfamily that includes four members (Kir3.1- Kir3.4). The Kir3 family is characterized by the fact that the channels can be activated by neurotransmitters and other factors acting via the activation of G-protein coupled receptors. Binding of the corresponding ligand to the G-protein receptor induces the dissociation of Ga-GTP from the Gbg dimer. The latter directly binds to Kir3 and activates the channel.1,2 Kir3.3 is mainly expressed in the brain, were it co-assembles with Kir3.1 or Kir3.2. The functional impact of Kir3.3 is less well understood than the other Kir3 channels. However, heteromers composed of Kir3.2 and Kir3.3 were found to be primarily responsible for the opioid-induced current and hyperpolarization observed in mouse locus ceruleus (LC) neurons.3

Jarren Vink and the "Lady" he rescued
I reached out to Jarren Vink after I came across some of his wonderfully elaborate photographs of organized things. I contacted him thinking what a fun dog project and coincidentally we had many friends in common! He replied with this stuning top picture of his dog Lady. Here is her story:
"We adopted her almost three years ago from Animal Haven. At the time she was 6 months old and super scared and skittish, but a beautiful dog and had a softness to her personality. She wasn't a jump-on-people kind of dog and we loved that. We adopted her that day and took her back to our apartment in Brooklyn and introduced her to our two cats and began the joy of house breaking. If you can do that in a walk up apartment, you can do it anywhere. She quickly became a member of our own little pack and felt very attached to our family. A few months later we decided to get out of the city and give her (and ourselves) a yard to play in. We did miss the morning off leash hours with other pups, but the lure of no neighbors outweighed that. She has opened up a ton within our family, but is still very skittish and weary of humans. She loves to play with other dogs and that is one of the best ways to introduce her and warm her up to other people. We'd love for her to open up more and be a friendly dog with new people, but we also love the loyalty she has to use. My wife and I recently had a baby girl and Lady quickly loved her. She was constantly concerned every time Birdie, our daughter cried. She has since grown to understand that that's a natural tendency. Lady has become a great source of entertainment for Birdie and we consider the two best friends. "
Chuck-It - tennis ball thrower
I acquired this from a photo shoot, and although she is not much for fetch, she enjoys running after the ball. It's great exercise for her and I, as I'm usually tasked with returning the ball.
Durapet Bowls
Classic durable dog bowls.
Pig's Ear
Lady loves pig ears. Whenever she needs a distraction or we have to leave her longer than we like, this is a great treat. We pick ours up from my local pet supply shop .
Wilson Tennis ball
On the rare occasion she does want to fetch, it's great to have a tennis ball on hand.
Knot Rope - can't recall the brand
It's not her favorite toy, but I keep it in my studio if I need to play tug-o-war with her.
Bamboo Fat Cat This is by far her favorite toy and she has gone through many. Her immediate goal is to get all of the stuffing out the cat and then continue gnawing on the fabric. We've labeled this toy her 'Baby' and whenever we ask where her baby is, she runs through the house to get it.
Nautica Fleece Blanket
I'm not sure at what point she made this blanket hers, but now it sits inside of her dog bed and we take it with us whenever we travel with her.
Filson leash
Nice, durable, simple rope leash.
Rope Ball - can't recall brand She enjoys this toy since she can shake it around with a weight on the end. I don't know how she hasn't knocked herself out whipping this rope ball around.
Kong Wubba
Poorly made toys don't last long with Lady, so having a Kong toy is great. She loves the squeak of this along with shaking it around and gnawing on the fabric.
Marrow Bone
This is another good distraction treat. Lady loves working all of the tissue and marrow out of a bone. Even after it's been entirely cleaned, Lady will work on a bone for months. These are great to have in my studio to keep her occupied while I am busy shooting or dealing with production.
Zuke's Dog Treats, Peanut Butter
These tiny treats are great for training. She loves these and you can give her a lot without overdoing it since each treat is so small.

As the new year approaches, I always enjoy looking back at the past year and all the wonderful things that have happened. I've been extremely grateful for the growth that my business has seen and look forward to continuing in the right direction! I wouldn't have been able to do it without all my wonderful clients and the support of my family and friends. I really appreciate it all! If I told myself last December where I would be this December, I'm not sure I would believe it! It's incredible what happens when you really give yourself goals and push yourself (and having others push you as well) to do what you really love.
I've started to re-read a great book I bought in college, "How to Grow as a Photographer, Reinventing your Career" by Tony Luna. Right from the beginning he highlights all the questions & concerns I had about continuing my photography career and the fears and joys that come along with having your own business in a creative field. I think it's the perfect time to read this as I head into another year. The book was helpful in college, but makes even more sense after I've gained several more years of experience, which came along with plenty of challenges... some that I was prepared for and some that I wasn't. It's nice to read something that proves that I'm not the only one who struggles, but inspires me to face those challenges head on and go for it!
I've had an amazing year, so many beautiful weddings, family and senior portraits! ...Not to mention how lucky I feel to be able to capture the beautiful scenery that is Central PA. I really look forward to seeing what new adventures lie ahead and all the new people I will meet and special moments I will get to share!
Thank you to all of my clients, past, present and future! I wouldn't be where I am today without you! Thank you to my family and friends who have continued to support my career and provided helpful advice... especially my parents and my brother and sister in law who made a lot possible that wouldn't have been otherwise without you! Finally, the biggest thank you to my loving boyfriend who has pushed me the most, even when I didn't want to hear it! I wish everyone all the very best in 2014!!! Cheers!

"Behold the Squid!" That is not said nearly enough. Williams delves into the world and science of squid including much of the research we are doing concerning them. She also includes many interesting insights into the life of these fascinating animals.
Interesting tidbit: Neurosurgeons and scientist frequently learn how to extract neurons from common squid because they have a comparatively large neuron that is easy to extract (and the squid and common enough to make good test subjects).
Another interesting tidbit: The colossal squid has bioluminescent patches behind its eyes that shine light out, like headlights in the cold ocean deep.

Have you ever felt out of place at a social gathering because there is nothing in common between you and others? Have you experienced mental fatigue as soon as you walked into that door for that *super* outgoing event? Have you ever felt that feeling where you just want to walk in and have fun without working to make things work? Well, guess what?
This next event is for YOU!!!!
The only thing you need in common is your desire to have funnnnnnnnnnn!
We will be having a board game night on Nov 10. Time and place is yet to be determined but it will most likely be after 6pm until whenever the fun dies (is that dark?). Mark your calendars because we will have games like...
Codenames - Somehow connect your given words with abstract thoughts so that it is clear as day for your teammates while mad confusing for yourself.
Dead of Winter - Survive a mission as a group of people who are surrounded by zombies in the winter time, and amongst you may be a betrayer.
Settlers of Catan - Gather your resources and build your houses while you mess everything up for your neighbors and your friendships.
Sheriff of Nottingham - Take turns being a sheriff of a town and decide whether you want to let people sneak in with contraband or accept a bribe, all the corruption is up to you. As townsfolk, you can bluff your way in for more money or embarrass yourself with that terrible poker face.
6 Nimmt- A card game where you don't want the most bulls but it's hard. Why? You don't pick the bulls, they choose you.
And possibly more - depending on if others bring games and where the location will be. Peter may need some help bringing some games over.

Liked most things about this hotel: the history (1936), the architecture, Harry's Bar, the restaurant, the pool, the location. All great. Room was a bit lackluster, but perfectly fine. Problem is, we had some stuff stolen. Bizarre stuff. Who takes toothbrushes and old razors? Crooks rifled through a lot of bags and drawers, but it must've been a rush job because they missed a camera. Got some inexpensive mini-binoculars,five Argentine pesos and assorted junk. Manager put us in a new room and comped the stay, which was worth more than the items stolen. If you stay here don't leave any valuables in your room. Well, actually, don't do that in any hotel, right?

I "invented" something delicious tonight. Kinda on accident, kinda on purpose. I am loving spaghetti squash this winter but was ready to try something new. So, I decided to try to turn my spaghetti squash into something a wee bit different: pizza. But, I was craving Mexican food. So, toss the marinara, bring in the salsa, and we have a deal.
Cut a spaghetti squash in half. Scoop out the seeds. Place both halves upside down on a microwaveable plate. Pierce the skin multiple times with a fork or knife. Cover with wax paper. Microwave for 15 minutes.
When it's done (careful, it's hot!), use a spoon to scrape out the yummy insides and put in a bowl. You'll need 1-1/2 cups of spaghetti squash for this recipe — if you're making it for one, like I was. Put the rest in the fridge for leftovers (yum!). Use a paper towel to dry the squash as much as possible — you'll want to get all of the excess water out of it so your crust is crispy-ish. Add 3 tbsp. egg whites (Egg Beaters, etc.). Toss in some cilantro, 1/8 c. shredded cheese (I only had mozzarella but would have preferred something more Mexican-appropriate) and a diced clove of garlic. Sprinkle in some cumin. Put all ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth.
Spread out on a pizza pan (or the bottom of a pie plate). Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes — until crust-like. Be careful, though, I burned the edges on mine cuz I kinda forgot to set the timer.
While the crust is baking, boil some boneless skinless chicken breast (you know, if you want that on top of the pizza like I did). I ended up with two small boneless skinless tenderloins — about 2.5 ounces once cooked. When it's cooked through, remove from the water, allow to cool then shred.
By this time, your crust should be all set. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before topping with your favorite ingredients. Don't turn off the oven — you'll be putting your pizza back in momentarily. Since I went with a Mexican "theme" I replaced marinara for a mixture of refried beans and salsa as my sauce. Then, I added some spinach, onions, chicken breast and topped with about 1/8 c. of mozzarella. Again, I wish I would have had some queso fresco to top the pizza, but I didn't plan quite right for this dinner.
Since everything's already cooked, you only need to bake until the cheese it melted and golden.
I don't think I got quite all of the water out of my spaghetti squash before blending in, so my crust wasn't quite "crusty" enough to really be called pizza.
However, it still created a very delicious dinner that I will definitely be repeating. Next time, I think I'll go Greek. You know, olives, feta (or goat cheese) and other such deliciousness.

Jo Scott works in the breeding programs of Sheep and Beef farmers right across the country. Her and the team help them to integrate DNA technology as both a management and breeding solution.
Sometimes Jo might travel 800km in one day and drink 5 cups of tea but she also gets to hangout with passionate, progressive and inspiring Kiwi farmers on a daily basis! Jo often gets lost, has no phone service, and her truck is always dirty but she gets to travel to some amazing farms right across the countryside and her office is often a woodshed full of lambs ready to be docked and DNA sampled.
Zoetis is a global company, providing DNA solutions to farmers world wide. What is exciting for Jo, is that in NZ we are the centre of Sheep excellence. Part of her job is to assist globally in the understanding and implementation of technology for Sheep breeders.
"Industry education is so important in this Animal Genetics space that it is often considered a scary topic, or is sometimes not even realised as a vital part of the agricultural system. At Zoetis and as a personal passion, I play a role in the education of what it means to buy a ram or a bull with superior genetics."
Jo, your day to day sounds like a dream (minus the 800km's driving). Spending time in rural communities and meeting so many inspiring people is what we love about the New Zealand primary sector.

There is a common error in parents, the exposure of the child to heat
– means the injury of brain damage, which is not scientific at all – indicating
that all children are exposed to heat in all countries of the world and do not suffer mental retardation
How to treat high temperature and causes of the child
The problem of heat or high body temperature is very common in children because of its many causes
and this problem complications on the child itself, and may be a threat to his life in the event
of a large increase, and is a source of concern and inconvenience to parents who are trying to get rid of their child . In general, heat in children is defined as a temperature rise of more than 37.5 ° C, and appears as one of the signs of body resistance to infection.
Causes of fever in children
The temperature of the child's body is high when exposed to various forms of infection and disease, which is one of the means of resistance to the body, and facilitate the elimination of bacteria and viruses that cause infection, and prevent them from breeding. Infections appear in children as a result of numerous infections such as infection with the flu virus, exposure to upper respiratory tract infections, tonsillitis, ear infection, kidney infections, urinary tract infections, pink rash (inflammation that causes high temperature and skin rash) With measles or pertussis, and heat may also appear as a side-view of many children's vaccines, and may be due to the child wearing many clothes in the atmosphere.
What is the treatment of the heat in children
to treat the hottest children in many ways and means, but most cases do not require a review of the doctor and the treatment of drugs, and are treated in a home only if the child is immune, or following chemotherapy, or have undergone surgery recently, and remain medical procedures limited to achieve Specific purposes. The following methods are used to achieve the following objectives: To reduce the temperature of the body, and to do the following: To measure the temperature of the body, and for this purpose different types of thermometers, including mercury, ear, and digital, and doctors are advised to measure them by anal for accuracy The result is then, and can be measured orally for older children. If you are using an over-the-counter medication, such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen, to reduce the temperature, use the instructions in the leaflet attached to each medicine and continue to provide it for at least 24 hours so that the heat does not return again, To treat the heat in children, especially if accompanied by a smallpox, or viral infections, because of the likelihood that these symptoms link the child to the failure of the liver. Relax clothing worn by the child inside the house even if the weather is cold; because wearing a lot of clothes works to isolate the heat in his body, thus preventing it from falling. Shower the baby with warm water for no more than ten minutes per hour, preferably using sponges. It should be noted that the use of alcohol to treat the heat in children is a common practice, because of the seriousness of their health. Prevent the child from being infected by drought: The child loses large amounts of fluid through the skin and lungs if his body temperature rises. To protect him from drought, it is recommended to encourage the child to drink large quantities of liquids. For example, soups and body re-solutions are available in shops. These liquids do not contain caffeine, because they increase urinary retention and loss of fluids, thereby contributing more to drought. Drinking water alone can not be beneficial because it does not contain the glucose and minerals necessary for your child's health. If the child suffers from vomiting or diarrhea, and contributes to the occurrence of the drought and prevents the re-treatment of the body, you should see your doctor.
Medical procedures to treat the heat in children
Many doctors only give heat reducers and solutions for the re-treatment of the body as a medical procedure to treat the heat in children, as it is rare to give antibiotics in this case, because the most common causes of high body temperature in children are the common infection of the virus in the device Respiratory system, antibiotics do not benefit in this case, and may even worsen by weakening the child's immunity and causing side effects. Antibiotics are administered only if the child is confirmed to have an infection caused by bacteria, such as urinary tract infection, sore throat, ear infection, gastroenteritis or sinusitis.
Cases that should be reviewed by the doctor
Most cases of high temperature of the child are treated in home and using medicines that do not require a prescription, but the child who suffers from heat should be taken to the doctor in several cases, including: Low temperature. Do not shed the child tears when crying as well as lack of urine in the last eight hours, because this is indicative of the drought. Back symptoms associated with heat after disappearing. Or if he has suffered from fever for two consecutive days, especially if he is under 2 years of age or if he is less than 3 months old and has a temperature of 38 ° C. That the child suffers from a high temperature rise of more than 40 degrees Celsius, unless it decreased rapidly and significantly using different treatment methods. If the child has symptoms and signs of an illness that needs treatment, such as diarrhea, vomiting, sore throat, or ear pain. If he has a previous critical health problem, such as a heart disease, sickle cell anemia, or diabetes. Be taken immediately to the hospital in several emergency situations; severe crying without stopping, inability to walk if it seems disoriented, if it has trouble breathing, if it has a cleft lip or tongue or nails, and if it suffers from severe headache, In the neck, and if he has a rash or bruising

I've always had, and always will have, a particular affinity for "backyard" weddings. There's something really special about the intimacy, comfort, and connection of watching two people get married at home. Next spring, Caitlin and Eric will do just that. They'll transform the farm that's been in Eric's family for generations into the gathering space for their wedding.
I met Caitlin and Eric on their property a few weeks ago to shoot engagement photos as the sun went down. I got to meet their animals, walk the stunning property, and soak in their vision for what will undoubtedly be an incredible day next May.
I'm so excited to see their plans come together. I'll see you two in the spring. ;-)

Hywel Dda University Health Board offers the latest Home Tech to over 10,000 staff
Hywel Dda University Health Board offers up home technology salary sacrifice to their staffbase
Hywel Dda University Health Board provides a wide range of healthcare services to a total population of around 372,320 throughout Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire, via general and community hospitals, health centres, GP's, dentists, pharmacists and optometrists and other sites.
An NHS organisation, it currently employs around 10,000 people. Four years ago, working with Personal Group's Lets Connect, the health board launched its own salary sacrifice home technology scheme.
Initially the scheme focused on offering home computers and tablets, but subsequently added smartphones, which have proved popular with staff across the board.
Senior Terms, Conditions and Benefits manager Andrea Thomas says: "Take up has been very good, although because people are choosing different elements or more than one element of the scheme, it is difficult to provide accurate figures. But we are seeing a steady overall increase in participation with the scheme, which has been driven by improvements to the scheme and the fact that newer technology and devices are becoming available all the time."
Encouragingly, take up has not been exclusive to the younger members of staff, although they are keen to keep up with new tech gadgets, as they are made available through the scheme.
"We are seeing take up among the older members, however, this could be linked to them having technology equipment to support the family," says Thomas.
The equipment that is made available through the scheme is for personal use, however Hywel Dda health board does operate a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy, which is also proving popular.
Another important feature of the scheme is the salary sacrifice arrangements through which employees make savings on their purchases. There are two enrolment windows for the home technology scheme, the first just before Christmas and the second in the spring.
The scheme is promoted to staff via a range of communication channels, including website, email and printed flyers, and board also organises road shows, to highlight the benefits of the scheme to employees throughout the region, and provide news on any new technology products that will be available.
Thomas adds: "We've had great support from Lets Connect with the launch and the administering of a scheme that employees are really seeing the benefits of it."

Running from PTSD
Born and bred in the North East of England, at the age of 16, I signed on the dotted line to serve Queen and Country. It was something that had been my ambition from a very early age. I served in the British Army for 11 years, which included operational tours of duty in Northern Ireland and the Bosnia & Kosovo conflicts in the 90s. I saw and witnessed some awful things that only now I can talk about. I loved my time spent in the army and met some of the best people.
That's as much as I am willing to let out about the past and what has brought me to this blog. It's not that I don`t want to tell my story, I do, and I have a few times, but I feel it will only make me dwell on past mistakes and missed opportunities. After all, we should only be looking to the future. What happened in the past is in the past and can`t be changed, so my therapist has drilled into me for the last few years, so that's how it is.
I have lived with the following issues for many years now; sleep problems, chest pain, fatigue and exhaustion, aching muscles and joints, digestive problems, headaches, changes in appetite or weight, feeling agitated and restless. The list is endless. I expend a lot of energy each day, I also love running, something that hasn't always been my fix, but it's now a huge part in my life and helps me deal with my problems in a way that nothing else can. I am a member of a great supportive running club that is full of positive energy. There are many aspects of the club that I can liken to being in the military. We all support each other though good and bad times.
In the army, you do not accept weakness and you pretend nothing is wrong, but after a number of years, I could not deal with it anymore. The smallest thing would make me remember horrific things I had seen. There was only so much I could do to pretend it wasn't happening. It was affecting every part of my own personal and family life. It was huge and getting bigger daily. I drank heavily, binge-drinking they call it now. I couldn't think rationally. It felt like everyone was against me. But I was against everyone. I had a hit-list of all the people that had disrespected me through my life. I put myself in some really strange and difficult situations as if I were in some kind of time warp, a surreal experience that no words can describe.
My time in the army is not completely the main reason for my condition. Losing both my parents within the space of 4 months in sudden circumstances was probably the tipping point. Although this came naturally as a huge shock, I didn't seem to feel pain and if anything, I was completely numb about it all, refusing to talk about it or even accept they were gone. Enter alcohol and this all becomes so much different. Rather than go on about this or delete the above, I will just leave it at that. I think we all get the picture.
So onto getting some help. One day I just said to myself "no more of this shit". I stopped drinking at the back end of 2013 and never touched another drop till New Year`s day 2015. I went to the doctors to see what they could do. Apart from offering me pills, which in no way did I want and nor have I ever taken, they told me they could help with therapy, but there was a waiting list of 6 weeks! I should really speak to a military charity as my symptoms were something they could treat and deal with better, I agreed, but was a canny bit pissed off with the NHS and their lack of urgent help!
I received intense therapy including CBT and EMDR and was diagnosed with BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) at the beginning of 2014. It has been proved that this was the right treatment for me, I have intense mood swings and I also struggle with paranoia and severe anxiety, particularly social anxiety. People who will know me well will say "What? You? How come? But you always seem.....", What? Normal?" The easiest part is living a double life, until the blackness sucks you in to the deep hole and then what!! I class myself as extremely fortunate and lucky. It all could have been so much different, with a lot more people getting hurt than needed to. Thankfully, I made the right choice.
The symptoms never truly go away; mood swings, sometimes good, other times bad. There is no alarm clock or certain time of the day. No stopwatch to tell you how long. It just happens. I now have the skills to ease the symptoms and they can work really well, although you do actually learn something every time it happens. Every day is a school day as they say.
The main thing now is I am starting to live a life again and think I have become a better person for it. The anger issues have practically gone, I've got my family and most of my friends back that I value. It's an uphill long battle for anyone with the symptoms I have mentioned above. You won't start winning any battles until you accept there is a problem and you start talking about it and getting the correct help and support you need to get better.
I would urge anyone who experiences anything mentioned in this blog, in any form, to ask for help. There is nothing to be ashamed of, and yes I did feel ashamed! I still find it staggering that we are happy to talk open and freely about say a broken leg or arm, but can`t talk openly about when our brains don't quite work right! Those of us that suffer and are dealing with it can help those who have yet to find the path to freedom. I know this to be 100% true as I have helped some of my friends that have suffered in silence for years.
You will get some sort of normality back in your life, but don`t be fooled into thinking it will all go back to how it was before your brain decided to stop working. It doesn't. I can vouch for this as I had to go back into treatment for 3 months after getting into difficulties after my initial 6 week course of treatment. I know that if it gets tough again, then I only have to call and I will be back with my therapist as quickly as they can get me in. You will be more in control of your issues not the other way round. Talk about it, the more people hear about it, the more they will understand. Understanding is all we need not sympathy.
Campaigns like Time to Change & Project SemiColon have helped, charities like Mind & Rethink Mental Illness, are consistently pushing for changes both in policy and in practice. There are lots of support groups out there, social media plays a big part too so get amongst it and see what you can find out. Ask, ask, ask and never stop asking.
For anyone ex-military reading this, there are lots of charities out there; Combat Stress, Royal British Legion and Help for Heroes are the main big ones. The one that helped out are a smaller charity called PTSD Resolution. They had me in therapy within a week after speaking to them and I will be forever in their debt.
I have tried to repay them back by doing some voluntary work behind the scenes including being invited to the House of Lords to talk about mental health with other veterans, which was an absolute honour and privilege. I am also taking part in a series of challenges this year to raise money to pay help for treatments for those in need.
These organisations save lives it really is that plain and simple.
Thanks for taking time to read this blog. It is what it is, and I am what I am!
Do you recognise the feelings Ian had in the past in yourself? Has your history in the military affected your life back in 'civvy' street'? Let us know in the comments below.

Spun for the first time earlier tonight on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show, here is the sensational new remix of Professor Green's "Remedy", brought to us by ILS.
Pro said himself that "the Remedy remix package is disgusting. When this one goes off in the clubs its drama"… no 0bjections here. Taking one of my favourite tracks from his sophomore release At Your Inconvience and creating a twisted dubstep-inflected track proves to be a masterstoke, making this probably one of my favourite remix of a Pro Green track, and that's saying something. Deep, filthy basslines and echoing vocal samples suit the crazy vibe of this track perfectly. In love with everything that Pro touches, this included.

Mother's Day Reflections
We went away this weekend, to see our future daughter-in-law graduate from college, and to get away for a few days. We drove to Holland, Michigan, to see the tulip festival, but unfortunately, it was cold and rainy and we didn't have much time to enjoy it. But the graduation was good, until I fell coming down the bleacher steps and smacked both shins on one step. I am very grateful for hard bones, as nothing broke - I'm just nicely bruised. I ache today on Mother's Day, but I am sure my aches are nothing compared to other moms who are grieving. I thought of Kay Warren this morning, who so recently lost her son. I think of Vicki at my church who also lost her son a few weeks ago. Both young men were much too young to go home to heaven. And I imagine both moms don't much feel like thinking about Mother's Day.
I remember a cousin who lost a daughter in a car accident at 17, and another cousin who lost a daughter at birth. Of Mary Beth Chapman who lost their little girl not so many years ago. Of friends who have miscarried or suffered with infertility and would give anything to be a mom but can't.
And then there are moms whose kids are far away, who cannot give their mom the hugs they long for. Or kids whose moms have passed on and aren't there to call or hold close to their hearts.
The pain of broken relationships probably hurts on these kinds of holidays more than anything. Will she call? Will he break his silence? For those moms every day is an eternity of waiting. Like the father of the prodigal son praying, "Please come home." And time marches on and moms don't get any younger. Broken relationships should be mended if they can be, before it is too late.
I am so grateful to still have my mom to talk to, to see, to hold close to me. To hear her call me "beautiful lady" when she hears my voice on the other end of the phone. She's almost 90 now, and I know we won't have her on earth forever. But I'm glad we have her now.
And as a mom, I am so grateful when the phone rings and it's one of my boys asking to FaceTime. To be remembered, to be given a slice of their time and the touch of their voices and when I do see them, their physical hug, is better than any other gift a mom could receive. Our time here is so short. I've never been one to take these things for granted.
I also would be remiss if I did not ask the Lord to comfort those whose Mother's Day is not going to be what they had hoped, what they long for. For those whose children cannot call them, like Kay Warren and Mary Beth Chapman and Vicki and so many more.
If you are one of those moms who is hurting, may God hold you close. May you feel how much He loves you, and that He alone can and will heal the broken things. Someday He will make all things new. I pray you will cling to that hope, and that you will soon see the joy that awaits you in the future.
May God grant us all grace to not take one single breath for granted. Or to let another day slip by without telling those closest to us just how much we love them.

Last week, I stayed late after work for a panel discussion on immigration, hosted by our Office of Diversity. Two of the speakers on the panel are current faculty members at my newest employee's graduate school. NE (New Employee) is finishing up his dissertation, in his early thirties, and has been married for a couple of years. I asked NE if he wanted to go to dinner before the panel discussion and invited his spouse to join us. The restaurant I chose was near their apartment so I drove NE and his spouse met us there. In the car, NE noted that if we were in the late 1950's, Mad Men era I would be a man and we would likely be going to his house where his wife would likely have made dinner for us. NE is right…this picture would have likely looked different 60 years ago. My gender was a noticeable factor in the context of this situation.
While I could write many blog posts on Mad Men gender politics (and how the residual effects are still subtly alive and well), I want to note how I appreciated that NE noticed the context of the situation, and that he was able to do so in an appropriate-for-the-moment way. There are many ways such a comment could have made things awkward but he has been able to quickly assess people accurately. He is astute, "astute" being my new favorite quality in people in the workplace. Being astute really has little to do with experience but rather the ability to pay attention, be curious, and think. All such qualities are marked ways to demonstrate potential. And, demonstrating potential is what I really want to highlight in this blog entry.
Hiring for potential, according to Harvard Business Review author Claudio Fernández-Aráoz, is the best way to spot talent. Fernández-Aráoz's article, The Big Idea: Why Potential Now Trumps Brains, Experience, and Competencies, has named the approach I use when I look for people to fill position openings. Actually, it's what I'm looking for even when I don't have openings because I never know when I may have one. In his piece, Fernández-Aráoz is preaching to the choir when I read about the difference between "high performance" vs. "high potential." I want people who not only can do what is expected of them – thus solidifying good performance – but can also identify new ways of doing things better. I don't want someone to run a Career Development office the ways other colleges do it; I want someone who can see the best of other Career Development offices in higher education and the best practices of career coaches and search firms and have someone re-create that in our office. (I hired an incredibly high potential woman to run our career office eight months ago.) Yet, I worry that women may not show high potential often enough. It's not enough to just do your job well (performance) but it's essential to show who you are in your work so that you show you can do things at a higher level (potential). It's not lost on me that the examples of successful professionals who were hired for potential in Fernández-Aráoz's article are men. So, I wonder…. How can professional women in student affairs who are looking for jobs, or soon to be looking for jobs this spring, demonstrate their potential? I have some thoughts.
Always be creating a pipeline for yourself…it may not exist. Fernández-Aráoz points out that there are not many people who focus on their successors. Thus, there may not be many "pipelines" to move up. In other words, there may not be a culture of cultivating mentoring relationships. (Those of us who started this blog understand that.) Pipelines, or professional paths, come by way of knowing people and having people know you. You've got to create relationships with people continually and naturally. Ask your boss about his or her professional path. Talk with others about their professional paths. Email people who look like they have a good job and request to do an informational interview with them. Glean as much as you can from these stories. You'll build your network and learn that there are many, many paths to professional fulfillment. Never be fearful of humbly asking others about their takes on pipelines and paths. You will undoubtedly learn and craft a pipeline or two of your own.
Make sure your male counterparts are doing their share of the office housework. The book club members of this site recently read What Works for Women at Work. The authors point out that small administrative tasks are often done by the doers – by the women. I think it's part of an office culture. Women have often found success by pleasing others, by getting things accomplished. Yet, as you move up the ladder, the nature of the work is different and the work is strategic. Take the minutes of the meetings if that's part of your job responsibility…and take them in stride. And, don't always be the one getting the birthday cards and the cupcakes. Share that responsibility. (And that doesn't mean making the excel chart to keep track of who is in charge of the cards and cupcakes.) Gently nudge your male counterparts by noting what you've gain from these tasks.
Listen and do…and then offer alternatives. My spouse recently told my three-year-old daughter that the back window of the car could not be opened on the highways. She asked, "Where are the low ways?" Out of the mouths of babes come some good reminders. If you can't get to the intended goal one way, then you may need to suggest alternatives. There should be nothing holding you back from offering new ways of doing things once you've established yourself in the workplace. Even if they are not always adopted, it will show your potential for innovative and entrepreneurial thinking.
Personalize the impersonal. This nugget is for your consideration if you are in the midst of a job search. You may find a job posting at the perfect school, at the perfect level, at the perfect time. Sadly, you and thirty-eight others think the same thing. If you are going to stand out in the process, you'll have to do your research and act on it. This means making a personalized connection. The best way to make a personal connection is to find a way to be recommended by someone who knows the boss of the job and to have said person write a nice email on your behalf. If that is not an option, you can submit your resume and a personalized email that acts as a cover letter indicating your interest in the position directly to the supervisor. Take this step in addition to going through the human resources approach. This shows initiative and it shows potential. It shows you are willing to make a gesture and not just wait for things to happen…you are someone who makes things happen. High five yourself if it works. Will some people think you didn't follow the directions and the protocol of the search process? Maybe, but what's more important…standing out or sitting around waiting and wondering why the job you are sure was created for you has gone to someone else?
These tidbits are to be encouraging, and to offer a bit of the practical way to find yourself doing the work you love in student affairs. Then, women can become part of the organizational structures that advance future generations of women…so that those who take their employees and their partners to dinner are not replicating a Mad Men episode.

Finally! I can share this fabulous wedding with you guys! I've been "sneak peeking" photos here and there on facebook, so I'm happy to share a bit more this afternoon :)
I've known Karmen for quite a few years so I was thrilled when she asked Adrian and I to photograph her upcoming wedding! They opted for our Classic Beauty package (portraits only) to keep things simple and I couldn't have been happier with how well everything turned out.
I love this package because it still allows you to walk away with beautiful photos to remember your day by without worrying about the "extras". If you're having a simple wedding and/or reception, I think investing in wedding portraits is definitely the way to go.
I was a little worried because the days leading up to their wedding, it rained non-stop! I was soo worried that the ground would be too wet for us to use this location but come the afternoon of their wedding- the sun was shining bright and the ground was dry :)
Karmen was an absolutely radiant bride and Corey a glowing groom :) Thanks for trusting us with your memories!
Interested in using DFinney Photography for your wedding? Email me today for more information!

This site doesn�t give the real score for Popcorn players. For example, 2 players first in the range of 59 and 60 (Popcorn Hour PopBox & Popcorn Hour A-200) are suddenly upgraded to 45 and 46. Also with the other PCH players they are giving unreliable scores. Iboum has surely made a deal with the Popcorn management. 1 STAR FOR ALL POPCORN PLAYERS! ! !

Dear owners,
will the Popcorn play .dv files ?
.dv files are the raw, uncompressed files that come from normal MiniDV tapes. It is very hard to find a player that plays .dv files.
Thank you very much for any info. Best JOHN

You must be abusing the hell out of your A210-as I've mentioned before I've had mine with a 1 terrabyte WD Green drive installed and never even one glitch over the last 7 months.

I've returned the PCH A-200 to my dealer. Whatever I clicked on the remote, it still didn't play a photo slide show! More issues are: (1) Yamaha remote contr. interferes with the volume from the PCH A-210, if I turn up the volume from my Yamaha HTR the volume goes down on the PCH. (2) Music videos (concerts) out of synchronisation. (3) In my case not compatible with 4 and 8 GB (NTFS formatted) Kingston tumbdrives and an external HDD 100GB. (4) It doesn't automaticly play the next video or music file in one folder! ! ! (5) Many functions simply doent work on the remote, like "previous or next file". (6) It doesn't play some formats, while my Egreat EG-R1 and my PC plays them just fine. I've got high expectations before I purschased the PCH. Might it be a problem with the mainboard?

A small rectification on my comment from 20 February 2011. It should be "I've returned the PCH A-210 to my dealer...".

I've had an A210 since last December and have a 1 tb 3.5" hd inntalled and don't have have any problems with excessive heat buildup even after the unit has been on for a few hours. It helps if you use a 5400 rpm "green drive"-these generate much less heat than the 7400 rpm ones and they run much quieter.

I have been working for a couple of days with the PCH A-210 and it works great with all my video files. But unfortunately it doesn't play a photo slide show. It just shows the first picture and that's it. It is updated with the latest firmware. Has anyone experienced something like this?

just press PLAY on your remote while selecting the first picture

Is this thing available in the US yet? I cannot find it (which means I can't google it. Lazy I know)

Besides not looking like a cheap router, what does this unit give you that the A200 doesn't?
January 25, 2011 - 10:06
It is not an awful looking plastic box and it has no fan.

Can you please remove the truehd downmix property? It has been broken since September

I have an A200 and love the way it plays 99% of av files-but with the A210-my A200 is going bye bye to be replaced with the A210 because of the new case and fanless cooling.

A worthy successor to the A-110? Had the A-110 and thought it was nothing but a piece of buggy garbage.

I discovered House of Lashes after seeing some of my favourite makeup artists using them on Instagram and what can I say- they did not disappoint. Pixie Luxe is part of their premium collection. I love this collection, I've tried Noir Fairy which is fab too and their new Starlet lashes are on my wishlist. All their lashes from their premium collection are layered which is great. They look so luxurious and when you compare them to your standard drugstore lashes you really appreciate their quality. Continue reading

Girly Night In: Nail Par-Tay
Hi Lovelies!
Last week I popped to the shops to buy a couple nail polishes, when I got a liiittle carried away and ended up buying like 14 =/ (please don't tell my husband). So, with all these nail polishes, I decided to get the girls round to practice our nail art. Admittedly, we're not that great at it, more admittedly, I'm the worst- but it was still fun little experience. Continue reading
ELF Studio Brushes Review
A couple months ago I decided to invest in a new set of makeup brushes. After much deliberation, I decided to go with E.L.F brushes because they are very affordable and I had read good reviews on them online. I bought their Studio 11 Piece Brush collection, a Studio Stipple Brush and Studio Kabuki Brush.
On the whole all the brushes were very soft and do not shed, which is great! Also they wash easily and dry quickly so I'm pretty impressed with them. Saying this, there are certain brushes I'm not too fond of, so I thought I'd quickly review each brush separately.
