Helping people to discern God's presence in the workplace
Lunchtime Event on Tuesday 16 September 2014, 12 noon – 2pm
Stockton Baptist Tabernacle, The Square, Stockton-on-Tees TS18 1TE
An interactive workshop on the benefits of chaplaincy in the workplace.
Northeast chaplaincy agencies Tees Valley Ministry and Northumbrian Industrial Mission will be seeing more of each other in future.
The neighbours have recognised a common goal "to support the development of workplace chaplaincy across the North East of England."
By signing a statement of collaboration at their recent Management Group meetings they committed to collaborating for mutually benefit, initially by:
meeting together at a strategic level
attending each other's management group meetings
staff and chaplains meeting regularly
working together to train Chaplains
making joint applications for funding ….. MORE
Churches in the North East of England will shortly see a transition in the way they collaborate. The decision to set-up NECAT (North East Churches Acting Together) will also bring to a close the CRC (Churches' Regional Commission in the North East).
To mark the occasion CRC has set-out a summary of its legacy and lessons over twenty years, in a report: 'Faith in Action Together.'
The highly readable format typifies CRC's approach to making things happen in the ways in which it has carried-out its aim, 'to help churches engage with industry, commerce and society; and to ensure that the initiatives were effective and co-ordinated.'
Through partnerships it has worked with a range of public bodies; and helped to establish a regional Faiths Network.

The annual event, launched in 1984, marks the contribution that millions of volunteers make to charities and other organisations. Hundreds of events will be taking place as charities, schools, hospitals and other organisations take time during Volunteers' Week to thank their volunteers.

Organised by Northumbrian Industrial Mission it featured chaplains in a wide range of workplace situations, including material from Chaplaincy Everywhere.
This is the first of a series around the region: look out for news of future venues.
An exhibition showcasing the diversity of chaplaincy in the North East, has been held at Durham Cathedral, during March and April 2014.
The TVM website is mirror imaging the web pages of the Archbishop of Canterbury during the week of prayer on the theme "Listen to God : Hear the Poor"

Read Draft Modern Slavery Bill published by UK Parliament
The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby has welcomed the publication today of the report and draft Bill by the Parliamentary Joint Select Committee on Modern Slavery.
'I strongly welcome the report and draft Bill published today by the Parliamentary Joint Select Committee on Modern Slavery….
I very much hope that the Home Office, as it prepares to publish its own Bill on Modern Slavery, will take the Committee's recommendations extremely seriously. These include putting the rights of victims at the heart of the Bill; including effective provisions to recognise the increased vulnerability of children; and a clause that would encourage quoted companies to do more to ensure that their supply chains are free from slave labour. The Home Office has been a leader in the field of tackling modern slavery, and the determination of their approach is notable'
Mark Saunders tells his story of coming to faith from a background of football violence and why, with weeks to live, he's not afraid to die.
December 2013:
A Man With A Mission
Colin Worswick's chaplaincy at Teesport was featured in the December edition of Now & Then magazine (issue no 86, pages 48-50). As port chaplain for the Mission to Seafarers he has been welcoming people from all over the world to Teesside since 2001. Support for the ships' crews, at one of the country's busiest ports, is another way in which chaplains contribute to the life of the Tees Valley.
Information about the Mission to Seafarers can be found at http://www.missiontoseafarers.org
As if you hadn't noticed, Christmas is coming: a busy time for shop workers as well as shoppers. During the Church's Advent season, the traditional time of preparation for Christmas, TVM Chaplains have been busy out and about to make a real difference.
Newton Aycliffe will be benefiting from work put in by our Town Centre Chaplain to prepare for the Christmas period. Regular visiting throughout the year by Pam Lovelass has improved communications between traders and contractors, to progress the regeneration of the shopping precinct.
Our Asda Chaplains have been improving community links in other ways. Jan Barrett is volunteering with the local Foodbank, which collects at the store where she serves staff on behalf of TVM.

I like David Foster Wallace's fiction a lot but, aside from the odd essay here and there, I hadn't really read any of his non-fiction until now. Consider the Lobster is a collection of ten essays (eleven in the print edition - I read the ebook, from which Host has been omitted because "it cannot be formatted for an ebook"), articles and speeches that Wallace wrote in the 1990s and early 2000s. [amtap book:isbn=034911952X]
It's the second of Wallace's two essay collections and it's filled with thoughtful, intelligent, vertiginous and frequently hilarious writing. Wallace turns his perceptive eye and warm wit on language, sport, literature, food and the porn industry.The book is held together by two pillars; the first, a review of Bryan A Garner's A Dictionary of Modern American Usage, examines the divide between prescriptive grammarians and descriptive linguists - that is, those who think that language is defined by its rules and those who think it is defined by how it is used. Though Wallace clearly belongs in the former group, he manages to set out his position without being condescending or hostile towards the opposing view - no small feat in the circumstances.
In the course of the essay, Wallace offers an interesting analysis of the way language shapes political debate. He argues that by refusing to acknowledge self-interest liberals cede ground to conservatives when discussing issues such as wealth redistribution:
"For in refusing to abandon the idea of themselves as Uniquely Generous and Compassionate (i.e., as morally superior), progressives lose the chance to frame their redistributive arguments in terms that are both realistic and realpolitikal [...] As it is, though, liberals' vanity tends to grant conservatives a monopoly on appeals to self-interest, enabling the conservatives to depict progressives as pie-in-the-sky idealists and themselves as real-world back-pocket pragmatists."
That these thoughts appear amidst an essay about grammar demonstrates the scattered thought processes that drive Wallace's writing. At its most extreme, this manifests itself in the gargantuan footnotes that lead critics to dismiss him as long-winded and show-offy. It's a matter of personal taste but I don't think he's either. There's something fundamentally good-natured about Wallace's tics, a charisma within his writing and a characteristic that one can only describe as soul. For me at least, his style doesn't become wearing and mannered, unlike some of his contemporaries.
The other pillar of the collection is Up, Simba, Wallace's essay about John McCain's 2000 presidential campaign, which has since been published in a single volume, as McCain's Promise. Wallace deals even-handedly with a politician whose views are not really his own and responds in a measured, reasonable way to a political machine that is cynical and corrosive. Non-engagement is not an option, Wallace says, despite one's distaste for the process:
"If you are bored and disgusted by politics and don't bother to vote, you are in effect voting for the entrenched Establishments of the two major parties, who please rest assured are not dumb, and who are keenly aware that it is in their interests to keep you disgusted and bored and cynical and to give you every possible psychological reason to stay at home doing one-hitters and watching MTV on primary day. By all means stay at home if you want but don't bullshit yourself that you're not voting. In reality, there is no such thing as not voting, you either vote by voting, or you vote by staying home and tacitly doubling the value of some Diehard's vote."
The essay - the longest in the book - also contains some enthralling observations about life on the road for the media hordes and campaign teams and a wonderfully insightful meditation on leadership.
I could go into every essay in the book in this way, the title essay about the ethics of boiling lobsters alive, for example, or the piece about Kafka's use of humour, but it would be simpler for you to just read the thing - and you should. I'll squeeze in two more extracts, however. Wallace's observations on Tracy Austin's autobiography are - given, that Wallace himself was a writer and a tennis player - fascinating. Austin's book is terrible, he notes, but then so are most sports autobiographies:
"[...] maybe we automatically expect people who are geniuses as athletes to be genuises also as speakers and writers, to be articulate, perceptive, truthful, profound. If it's just that we naively expect genuises-in-motion to be also geniuses-in-reflection, then their failure to be that shouldn't really seem any crueler or more disillusioning than Kant's glass jaw or Eliot's inability to hit the curve."
One of the most intriguing segments comes in the final essay (in the ebook edition, at least) - a review of Joseph Frank's biography of Dostoevsky. As well as containing some interesting thoughts about Dostoevsky and about translating, there's also an interesting section about contemporary fiction:
"Frank's bio prompts us to ask ourselves why we seem to require of our art an ironic distance from deep convictions or desperate questions, so that contemporary writers have to either make jokes of them or else try to work them in under cover of some formal trick like intertextual quotation or incongruous juxtaposition, sticking the really urgent stuff inside asterisks as part of some multivalent defamiliarisation-flourish or some shit."
The incongrous juxtaposition in the phrase "defamiliarisation-flourish or some shit" is a pretty good example of Wallace's ironic humour but, that aside, the accusation could be - and has been, I'm sure - levelled against Wallace's own fiction. Wallace's struggle to finish The Pale King, is said to have been driven by precisely the question he asks above. He wanted to find a way to get at deep themes without the "formal tricks" of a work like Infinite Jest.
The Pale King will be published, unfinished, next year. We'll see to what extent he managed to get at the deep convictions and desperate questions of Dostoevsky.
In the meantime, I have more of Wallace's essays to read. Brilliant though they are, I do wish he'd written another novel in his lifetime instead.

euFLoria healing was started out of necessity when the medical system failed my son. He was 2 years old and had just been prescribed his 5th round of steroids that year for his allergies. I knew the impacts of steroids on his little body and I was terrified. I researched his condition and found it to be alarmingly common with his generation. He had a condition called "leaky gut syndrome" caused by generations pumping themselves with horrible pharmaceuticals, poisonous and nutrition empty food, and absorbing environmental toxins. There were multiple mommy bloggers out there that were going through the same things I was, and had found a solution. It would take a lot of work, but we had to go "all natural" and heal him from the inside out, relying on just some simple diet changes. Or so I thought. JW's "leaky gut syndrome" was so severe that the Paleo diet was not enough. We needed to boost his immune system, moisturize the outside of his skin, and a whole list of other things. I found what I was looking for in Whole Plant Medicine, which came back to me like riding a bike. We dove head first into his healing regimen. There were a lot of times when I wanted to give up and we were both crying helplessly on the floor due to lack of immediate results, but I was determined not give his body to the side effects of pharmaceuticals.
After many days spent harvesting in the hot Florida sun, countless hours learning from other Herbologists, all nighters reading huge reference books like I was back in college, and much trial and error- I started to see progress. Friends saw the amazing healing of my sons eczema covered skin, the decrease in his asthma, and his positive behavior change- and asked me for help with themselves and their children. It was upsetting to see so many my local children suffering with severe allergies and infections- all because of the damage that has been done! Polluted air, pesticide laden and GMO food, toxic water, vaccines, and over medicating is just the start to this list! We all knew we were damaging our environment, but now it was directly affecting our children.
I began to help anyone who would listen. I gave them websites of mommy bloggers who I had followed, shared my experience, and handed them baggies of fresh medicinal herbs from my garden. I started to have people come to my house because they were a friend of a friend, and their child needed help. When I meditated for guidance on how I could be of service to all of these people are desperate like I was, I was told to "grow". My favorite childhood book (and now my son's favorite movie) came to mind. The Lorax…. "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It's not."
I now share my plant medicine so that you may find the peace and healing that I have found growing in Florida. All of my materials are (of course) organic and Non-GMO, including my ethically wild-harvested and homegrown plants. I source my raw materials from small businesses located in Florida. If I would not give it to my son, I do not sell it.
May your wounds be mended and your spirit blessed by nature's love. Namaste.

Sometimes anxiety bites, hard.
In a world where we are constantly on the go and where technology invades our every waking moment it comes as no surprise that many of us feel like our minds are always switched on, consumed by worries and fears, or varying degrees of anxious thoughts and feelings. Anxiety has become one of the most common mental health conditions in Australia with approximatly 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men experiencing anxiety throughout their lifetime.
Anxiety is more than just having an occasional anxious thought — this is normal from time to time or during periods of stress. Anxiety is when these anxious thoughts and feelings don't go away, when they happen for no particular reason or cause and make daily functioning difficult.
Join Holistic Counsellor, Brooke Cefai and MISS FOX Founder and Self Care advocate, Victoria Fox for a masterclass on mindfulness and positively managing anxiety.
Through this event we will explore :
What Anxiety is and why we experience it
The use of mindfulness and relaxation techniques in reducing worry and anxious thoughts.
Developing Self-Awareness; how to get to know your anxiety, bring awareness to patterns or triggers, thoughts and feelings and challenge self-talk.
The importance of being kind & looking after yourself. Putting together holistic strategies to manage your self-care.
Plus, enjoy a relaxing guided meditation
Light refreshments provided and Q+A at the end.
We look forward to joining you in this special self care event.

Since his loss to Timofey Nastyukhin back in December of 2014, Eduard "Landslide" Folayang took some time off to do some soul-searching.
Folayang (14-5-0) returned to action Friday night, January 29 at ONE: CLASH OF HEROES in Kuala Lumpur and delivered with a unanimous decision over Japanese opponent Tetsuya Yamada (15-3-2).
The 32-year old Folayang has long been considered one of the most experienced Filipino mixed martial artists, and he proved it tonight against a solid opponent in Yamada.
Folayang showcased Team Lakay's famous Wushu base by dominating Yamada over three rounds.
The Filipino completely shut down Yamada, keeping the Japanese fighter at the long end of his straight right hand and occasional spinning back kick.
Folayang also landed various flush shots and stuffed numerous takedowns to earn the victory.
Nastyukhin brutally stopped Folayang by way of a flying knee and technical ground kicks over a year ago, and many observers thought he would not be able to return to form. But Folayang looked every bit as good as he was prior to the devastating loss and proved that much is left in his tank.
Folayang said his goal in ONE Championship still remains to become the Lightweight World Champion.
His victory tonight pushed much closer to a title shot against reigning champ Shinya Aoki.

Spain - TV
Television channels in Spain include TVE Television Espanola. This is a network owned by the government and which dates back to the 1950s and now operates two channels. These are La Primera and La2 and both of these broadcast programmes around the clock. Antena 3 is a station which launched in 1990 and is one of the most popular channels in the country. Cuatro is a relatively new channel, having been launched in 2005 but is free to view. Tele5 has a reputation for being one of the least politically biased channels in Spain. Canal Plus is a channel for subscribers which shows international sporting fixtures and subscribers can buy a package of programming which is tailored to their own preferences.
Digital television is very popular in Spain and there is an equivalent to the 'Freeview' system which is available in the UK. It is known as TDT (Terrestrial Digital Television) and offers a wider range of channels, select language, subtitles and when sporting events are shown the viewer can even choose their own camera angle. All homes now need to have some form of digital television as Spain has come into line with many other European countries and phased out analogue services.
It is possible to get satellite television programmes which are being broadcast in the UK. This can only be done with the appropriate equipment and for this viewers may need to purchase or hire from the provider decoders and satellite dishes. The Freeview services from the UK can be picked up this way but encrypted programmes which are broadcast on the Sky Digital network cannot be legally obtained in Spain. There are ways around this but if you have any problems with the service you do not have any legal redress. Premium channels can only be watched with a card installed in the decoder and these can be obtained.
In some areas of Spain it is a requirement that a satellite dish which measures more than 1.9 metres in diameter will need planning permission. The regulations vary in each region and you should check this before you go ahead with an installation as it could cost you more money to have removed if you lose out to the local authorities. If you wish to receive Sky satellite services from the UK you will need to have a satellite dish of a certain size and this will vary according to the area that you are in. For example, the 1.9 metre dish is required in Valencia but if you are in Denia you will need to have a 2.4 metre dish installed. However, in some areas a dish of just 85 cm is enough to receive British television channels.
Major cable providers include Telecable while one of the main satellite providers is Digital+. In order to be connected you can simply call the customer service department of the company and give your details. However, you can also opt to go via a local installation operator. You may be asked for proof of ID although this is not always the case. Installation can normally be carried out very quickly when you are registered with the provider.

Before After
Illustrators/Authors Anne-Margot Ramstein and Matthias Arégui
Walker Books UK, Hbk, AUD $27.95, ISBN 9781406357936
Winner of the 2015 Bologna Ragazzi Award for Non-Fiction
In Before After it's possible to silently marvel at the changes suggested by the movement of time, but you are just as likely find yourself wanting to talk about and share the elegant time-slips you hold in your hands.
Before After is built upon superior design talents of Ramstein and Arégui. Everything about the illustrations speaks of control and precision – yet the pages never cease to engage the child's imagination. The picture puzzles are too numerous, too playful, too fully realised, to remain exercises in style. The colour palette is carefully modulated, no clashing colours – that would only break the mood of contemplation.
An acorn becomes an oak tree, a rocking horse a rocking chair, a field of wheat a baguette. Skating on ice becomes roller-blading by a lake…
These changes can stretch to longer sequences, too. In one passage a giant squid becomes a bottle of ink, then a pigeon that becomes a plume in the ink bottle, followed by a typewriter, then a carrier pigeon, an airmail envelope and an airplane taking flight.
The humour is low-key, subtle, sometimes sly and always charming. My favourite pages are the egg followed by the chicken, followed by the chicken followed by the egg. C'est drôle, n'est pas?
If Before After has a deeper message about time, then the message is carried very lightly indeed, and never intrudes on this elegant parlour game. Before After may well be entirely wordless: still you will want to read it again and again and again.
About the illustrators
Matthias Arégui graduated from the Ecole Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Strasbourg. His work appears in Le Monde, in the New York Times, and in books from Gallimard.
Anne-Margot Ramstein studied art in Paris and illustration at the School of Decorative Arts in Strasbourg. She created illustrations for ABC des Tracas with Matthias Arégui as well as the children's book Les Illuminations D'Albert Einstein. Her work has also appeared in Le Monde, XXI, Libération and Le Tigre. She lives in France.

Historical Note
In 1836, the newly chartered Bank of Charleston purchased the building at 16 Broad Street after the previous occupants, the Second Bank of the United States, failed to have its charter renewed. By 1848, the Bank of Charleston had affiliates in Georgia, Alabama, Florida, and Louisiana. In 1887, having financially survived the Civil War and the Reconstruction, the bank recovered sufficiently enough to become a Federal Depository. In 1926, the Bank of Charleston merged with the Carolina National Bank, Columbia, South Carolina, and the Norwood Bank, Greenville, South Carolina to form the South Carolina National Bank, eventually being absorbed by Wachovia in the mid-1990s.

Black Madonna
Private tour in Czestochowa
Tour Price : 500PLZ this is 178 USD or 122 Euro Duration : 7-8 hours Languages: English
Poland is truly a remarkable place for religious people and pilgrims. It attracts millions of pilgrims and ordinary tourists each year due to the fact that there are many monasteries, sacred places and shrines.
The Black Madonna icon which is kept in the Jasna Gora monastery is definitely worth seeing. There are lots of exciting and mystic legends linked with that icon. It is worth noting that even today the date of the icon's composition and its origins are still unclear and cause lots of serious discussions among scholars. Excursion with private guide in Warsaw. It is impossible to determine the actual date of the appearance of the Black Madonna icon because its original image was badly damages and then fully erased. Medieval artists tried to restore the damaged areas of the icon, but it turned out that the paint they were using sloughed off the image. That's why they had to erase the whole icon and paint a new one. They used the original panel, because it was believed that it was a cypress table top taken from the house of the Holy Family. According to the legend St. Luke was the one who painted the first variant of the icon.
As your private guide in Poland I will tell you many other facts linked to the sacred icon. For many centuries it was kept in Poland but initially it appeared in Jerusalem. People say that the Black Madonna has saved the Jasna Gora monastery for many times. Tour in Warsaw. The first miracle took place during the Swedish invasion in the 17th century, which actually changed the course of the war.
After that the Black Madonna was crowned as the Queen and Protector of Poland. According to some other legends it was also the Black Madonna who saved the Jasna Gora monastery from a terrible fire. As the result of the fire its flesh tone pigments darkened. Due to the presence of the Black Madonna icon the monastery is considered to be the most popular sacred place in the whole Poland. We can combine this tour with a private tour in Krakow if you like.

Get to Know the Class of 2016
Here are profiles of members of the Class of 2016 of the Cedars-Sinai Graduate Program in Biomedical Science and Translational Medicine The profiles are excerpted from the program for the June 15 commencement ceremony.
Janet L. Markman, Class Speaker
Earned her bachelor of science degree in forensics from Pennsylvania State University in University Park and her master of science degree in bioscience technologies from Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. At Cedars-Sinai, as a research associate, she initially studied a novel nanomedicine treatment for metastatic brain cancer. She then initiated her graduate research under the mentorship of Moshe Arditi, MD, professor of Pediatrics. Her goal was to better understand the role of the immune system in cancer. She discovered that testosterone acts in a protective manner to enhance the immune response against melanoma metastasis in the lung. Markman plans to continue her career as a postdoctoral fellow in the field of immuno-oncology.
Aslam Abbasi Akhtar
Graduated from the University of California, Irvine, with a bachelor's degree in molecular biology and a master's degree in biotechnology and stem cell research. After a successful stint in the biotech industry, he joined the Cedars-Sinai graduate program and pursued his thesis work in the Cedars-Sinai Regenerative Medicine Institute in the laboratory of Joshua Breunig, PhD, assistant professor of Biomedical Sciences. He investigated the molecular mechanisms that specify neural stem cells in the postnatal brain, and characterized an inducible system for regulated gene expression in transplanted cells for potential use in therapies for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson's disease.
Deisy A. Contreras
Graduated from the California State University, Los Angeles, with a bachelor of science degree in microbiology. She completed her honors thesis on the molecular characterization of Acinetobacter clinical isolates from nosocomial outbreaks. In her dissertation laboratory, under the mentorship of Vaithi Arumugaswami, PhD, assistant professor of Surgery, she developed a stem cell-derived liver organoid platform to model hepatitis C infection and Alagille syndrome. After graduation, she plans to pursue a clinical fellowship in microbiology and infection control, where she will continue to study molecular mechanisms of medically relevant pathogens.
Ryan Cordner
Earned his bachelor of science degree in clinical laboratory science at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, in 2010. He joined the laboratory of Christopher Wheeler, PhD, who served as his thesis adviser in the Cedars-Sinai Department of Neurosurgery, where his research focused on therapeutic vaccines for brain cancer. He found that a mutation in the metabolic enzyme, isocitrate dehydrogenase 1, can make brain tumors resistant to therapeutic vaccines. The results of his research are expected to be useful for designing more effective vaccines against brain cancer. After graduation, he intends to pursue a postdoctoral fellowship in the field of cancer immunology.
Irina Epifantseva
Earned her bachelor's and master's degrees in cell biology, both summa cum laude, from Saint Petersburg State University in her native Russia. Her master's thesis work was performed in Sweden at Uppsala University. She joined the Cedars-Sinai Graduate Program where, in the laboratory of her mentor, Robin Shaw, MD, PhD, she focused on noncanonical roles for gap junction proteins involved in cell proliferation and heart failure progression. She found that the smaller, non-channel related, alternatively translated isoforms of gap junction protein (Cx43) can directly affect cell growth. It may be possible that by regulating alternative translation initiation of Cx43, new cancer therapies can be developed. She plans to continue research in the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute as a postdoctoral scientist.
Nargess Hassanzadeh-Kiabi
Earned her bachelor of science degree from UCLA and her master's degree in public health from University of Southern California. She joined the lab of Helen Goodridge, PhD, associate professor of Biomedical Sciences at Cedars-Sinai, and focused her thesis work on uncovering the intricacies of how the innate immune system presents the invasion of foreign microbes to the adaptive immune system and how this shapes the adaptive immune response to the pathogen. Her goal is to ultimately exploit the immune-stimulating properties of microbial components to develop new immunotherapies. She also took on several leadership roles, including being a part of the inaugural Graduate Student Association in the role of vice president. For the past three years, she has led the Association for Women in Science at Cedars-Sinai.
Corey Seehus
Earned his bachelor of science degree in molecular biology from the University of Wisconsin at Madison, where he studied neural development. His graduate research at Cedars-Sinai, under the mentorship of Jonathan Kaye, PhD, professor of Biomedical Sciences and Medicine, focused on the development of the immune system, principally the transcriptional programs that regulate the development of newly discovered types of innate immune cells. After graduation, he will pursue a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University Medical School, studying neuro-immune interactions.

"For the first time citruses are blended with the most precious natural raw materials for perfectly balanced creations and exceptional lasting power," the maison claims.
South Africa was introduced to this beautiful range of Cologne Absolue at a function in Sandton City when Atelier Cologne brought out their international trainer and a range of colognes and treatment lines to South Africa.
Liz Ferrett, formerly with Stuttafords, and dubbed "The Fragrance Queen" on social media, liaised with Bacher & Co who are the distributors for the range.
Guests were invited to try the perfumes, which included the lighter range of delicious Orange Sanguine (so perfect for a sizzling Johannesburg summer's day), Bois Blonds, Vanille Insensée, and Rose Anonyme and the more opulent, heavier scents of Silver Iris, Blanche Immortelle and Oud Saphir. Each chose their favourite and were treated to a personalised engraving of their name on their bottle's leather casing.
One of the hallmarks of Atelier Cologne is its personalisation: not only does this extend to engraving the leather case for each customer's bottle of perfume but their website allows potential clients to explore the range and customise it to his or her own personality. Mine came up with Pomelo Paradis, Jasmin Angelique and Mandarine Glaciale: this personal touch made me feel very special!
Today Atelier Cologne has opened stores in Brooklyn, New York, Paris (jn the Marais and Rive Gauche districts) and Hong Kong. Each boutique has a signature Venetian blue store front combined with raw brick walls and is furnished with industrial worktables, lamps and stools, as well as engraving machines sourced from vintage French and American factories.
In South Africa Atelier Cologne is stocked exclusively at Edgars Sandton, Mall of Africa and V&A Waterfront.

Ricardinho stole the show and jumped clear at the top of the goalscoring charts as Portugal beat Costa Rica 4-0 in Cali to advance to the FIFA Futsal World Cup Colombia 2016 quarter-finals.
Portugal's No10 needed about four minutes to set the tone when he scored a superb goal directly from a pinpoint accurate, defence-splitting pass from Bruno Coelho.
Ricardinho, the three-time World Futsal Player of the Year, then scored his second of the match and tournament-leading 11th goal shortly after half-time with a fiercely hit shot with his left foot, leaving Costa Rica goalkeeper Alvaro Santamaria with no chance due to the pace of it even though the shot was hit directly at him.
Portugal's third came when Andre scored from a corner-kick pass. Costa Rica had switched off for a second and that proved to be too long as they found themselves three goals down. Moments later, Tiago Brito finished with neat skills from close range after Costa Rica failed to clear their lines to make it four unanswered goals.
There was only going to be one winner in this match, and even when Costa Rica had decent opportunities on goal, they failed to convert them and were unable to breach Bebe's goal.
Portugal will now play the winner of Thailand-Azerbaijan, which takes place tomorrow at 17:30 local time in Medellin, in the quarter-finals.

WORDS Frances O'Brien
In 2012, a small group of Macquarie University students were drawn together by their common interest in animal rights. They were friends and acquaintances from Animal Liberation meetings in Sydney and Parramatta.
Since then, Animal Liberation @ Macquarie University (ALMU) has grown to a base membership of 30-50 students. Their mission is to educate and advocate for an ethical, cruelty-free lifestyle by avoiding use of animals. This follows the principles of animal rights that animals have their own intrinsic value and their own reasons for living.
ALMU intends to raise both awareness on campus and funds for the NSW branch of Animal Liberation. The group has a decentralised, flexible structure. Although executive positions technically exist, they are rarely exercised, with members encouraged to work jointly on group projects.
Last semester, ALMU hosted a screening of the documentary Forks Over Knives, which explores the idea that a vegan diet can lead to better health.
ALMU was also present during the viewing of the Melbourne Cup, the annual event played on the big screen in the courtyard. ALMU members handed out flyers detailing the ill-treatment of race horses to the watching crowd, and sold vegan truffles and brownies. With sizeable turnouts and the raising of much needed funds, both events were successful.
In 2013, ALMU is planning more activities: information stands and awareness campaigns, socials for like-minded people to meet, and many more film and documentary screenings.
ALMU's advice for those seeking a cruelty-free lifestyle is to consider what they are buying. Was an animal involved in the creation of the product? How was the animal treated during or before the race or show or procession? Is there an ethical alternative?

Before January disappears completely, I must write down my goals for the year. I did this for 2010, but this year I'm going to think about smaller periods for the goals. Doing it across a whole year I found didn't give as much focus, particularly in the start of the year. Doing it month-by-month feels too often, and doesn't allow for some longer-lived goals. So, I've been wondering whether to go for 3, 4 or 6 months. If only because a year's "quarters" are more natural to talk about than "thirds" or "halves", I'm going to go for 3 months.
So, by the end of 1Q 2011 ...
Personal Development
Fitness: have run 40 miles, and cycled 100
Health: get an updated cholesterol level
Music: get playing the piano again (which requires selling the existing piano and getting a digital piano to replace it)
Vocal: have had at least one session with a vocal coach
Ministry Development: start training for Cheltenham Street Pastors (if accepted), and continue to work out future shape of potential ordained ministry with DDO
Theology: start looking at a few topics in-depth, and discussing with local experts
Prayer: continue to find ways of making this more of a "part of me"
Sleep: on average get to sleep before half midnight
Family: support M and S to get healthier
Wider Family: seen our parents, grandparent, and most of our siblings (and our young nephews and nieces) at least once, and arranged times to see others later in the year
Friends: spent quality time with at least 10 (ie, not just over coffee at church)
Reading: read at least 6 books (and to help with this, reduce TV watching)
Music: finish rating all my non-Classical albums, and sort out which really needs to live on my laptop, as I'm running out of space
Holidays: had a weekend away with Martha, book another weekend away, and finalise week's holiday with my parents
House & Admin
Finance: reduce some non-essential monthly outgoings
De-clutter garage: reduce amount stored in garage noticeably, despite moving more CDs to be stored there
De-clutter house: get rid of old magazines from office, give away (or sell) at least 50 books and 10 DVDs, and give away (or sell) some old gadgets no longer used
Housework efficiency: improve efficiency by getting and fitting a separate tumble drier
That sounds like more than enough to be getting on with!

Since the Web became a more beautiful place with the advent of CSS, there's always been a struggle in the use of more modern features of CSS with browsers which are either slower to adopt or more cautious in the way the implement features.
There have been many potential solutions for this issue.
First, baked directly into the CSS specification and the browser implementations is the fact that if a browser doesn't understand a property, it will ignore it instead of sending the user an error. Silently failing means we can progressively enhance web applications without worrying about unsightly error messages being displayed.
Then, Internet Explorer — a long-time culprit of compatibility issues — implemented the idea of conditional stylesheets. You could now build your site the way you wanted it and when things broke (such as z-index in IE7 or float and width issues in IE6) you could specify fixes for them in stylesheets only accessible by those specific versions of Internet Explorer. This means we can gracefully degrade the experience for out-of-date browsers.
This allows for a lot of flexibility, but is also odd bloat that appears in your <html> DOM node.
All of these methods are great, but they aren't native citizens of the specification. In the CSS Conditional Rules Module specification — the module that contains the media queries we all know and love for responsive design — the humble Feature Query also lives. A first-class citizen of CSS, the feature query allows for feature detection built right in and built with a syntax designers will already be familiar with based on years of building responsive sites using media queries.
The syntax is relatively easy:
Here's a concrete example using CSS Grid – an amazing new layout property that isn't in even modern browsers until March or April 2017.
Here's what the example looks like with no feature query. If you're in a browser that supports Grid Layout – which you're probably not – then you'll see a great grid layout. If you're not, you'll see full-width block-level divs with images with no explanation.
In this example, we simply hide the alert message from all browsers that DO support Grid layout and allow every other browser to use the default value set in the CSS for the bar allowing it to be visible.
In this example, we build a nice layout utilizing the Flexbox property of CSS — which has support in all modern browsers — and then utilize Feature Queries to rebuild the grid using the Grid Layout properties.
This way you get a nice layout either way and for those that have enabled the use of CSS Grid, they get a really nice layout.
There are loads of methods for progressively enhancing your site, but CSS Feature Queries are by far one of the cleanest ways of doing it that we've ever had.
You can view all three codepens together in my CodePen Feature Query Collection
If you have any questions, I'd be more than happy to answer in the comments or on Twitter.

The House Transportation Committee signaled a renewing aim to consider privatizing the FAA's Air Traffic Control system once again.
After months of studies and hearings about privatizing the air traffic control industry, a hearing that was held Tuesday, November 18th, 2014, showed bipartisan support for taking up the issue as part of the Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization bill.
There were may supporters of privatization of the air traffic control system from pilot-union representatives, President of the Business Roundtable, and even the head of the nation's leading airline trade association. Though details weren't expressed in the logistics of privatization, they all highlighted the benefits of cutting air traffic control modernization and daily operations from the FAA's ongoing budget. The head of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA), the union that represents all federal air traffic controllers, also opened the door to privatization, though urged caution.
No specific plans have been circulated to privatize the air traffic control system. The comments; however, that were given by lawmakers expressed increasing concern of the FAA's ability to oversee the modernization of the air traffic control system without transforming the agency's funding stream.
Rep. Bill Shuster (R), the chairman of the House Transportation Committee stressed the need to take a different approach than in the past and perhaps move in a different direction. He stated the benefits from other countries that have pursued privatization.
President of the Business Roundtable, John Engler, expressed concerns over the history of the FAA's "slow and uncertain progress." He implied that this privatization could be funding by the users of the system instead of the government. My Engler further concluded that proposals to remove air traffic control budgets from the FAA would be "an excellent starting point" for committee debate.
Nicholas Calio, CEO of Airlines for America, urged analysis of other countries that privatized their air traffic control system. He stated that the answer to this situation may lie outside the U.S.
Paul Rinaldi, President of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA), stated he remains open to at least consider privatizing options. He stressed that these changes must be done "very methodically" and always with the goal that "we don't want to disrupt day-to-day operation."

Successful Communication
By Ron Ciancutti
Those who read this column regularly know that many of my theories and conclusions are derived from the notion that things should be kept simple. Everything can be divided into simpler, more manageable elements; achieving goals comes through disassembling the parts, understanding them, and then reassembling them.
I have also observed that any solution to a particular problem, even a current one, has usually been seen previously.
For example, many people believe Henry Ford "invented" the automobile; however, the truth is there were people (whose names are still prevalent in the auto industry today) like Dodge, Rolls, Bendix, and others who were just as far along in their research as Ford. Although it is endearing to envision Ford putt-putting along a cobblestone path with horses rearing up and children running after this newfangled motorized wonder, it probably didn't occur that way.
Historically, people who were developing motorized vehicles at that time were more interested in designing tractors that enhanced and eased farm work. Since many "similar" ideas were floating around, the final prototype of the car likely was a combination of many of these ideas (e.g., the Bendix company became brake specialists, etc.).
After reading a book about the cause and effect of the way humans communicate, a friend and I attended a seminar on the subject last month. I found that the presentation was matching the high points I personally related to in the book. In fact, my friend leaned over at one point and said, "You could be teaching this class."
Static On A Telephone Wire
Thus, communication between two people on any issue oftentimes involves two sets of preconceived notions, prejudices, fears, preferences, and impressions that shape the way we deliver and hear the message. So the likelihood of a message being received and interpreted by one individual, repeated to another accurately, and then compounded into the desired result is—at best—remote.
Here's an example:
Steve, a computer technician, has been working on a project for several months that includes the design of a software package that may cost up to $10,000. He estimates that figure as his budget and obtains approval from the accounting department for that portion of the project. As he begins his research, he learns there are many similar packages already on the market for about $7,500, so he considers buying one of those packages and spending the "extra" $2,500 on support software that makes the project even more capable and marketable. He believes he has made a responsible decision with the money allocated to him.
At the same time, Bernie, the controller who oversees Steve's expenditures, has allowed him to spend the extra $2,500 because he, too, has been told the original $10,000 budget would not be exhausted on only the original software package. He is glad there is some "wiggle room" for Steve, and is comfortable that the $10,000 is being spent responsibly.
During his divisional report at a staff meeting the following week, Bernie casually mentions that Steve has spent about $2,500 so far of that $10,000 budget. The budget manager, Dan, hits the roof. He knows nothing about the revised cost of $7,500. The $10,000 was budgeted to cover the software package required to make the project work, and now Steve has taken the liberty of spending a fourth of it before the project has even started!
Bernie is afraid to upset the boss further, so he says nothing in Steve's defense. Dan abruptly ends the meeting, asking his assistant to summon Steve to the office immediately. Bernie is told to attend the meeting also.
Steve arrives, Bernie stands, and Dan sits at his desk, fuming. What is happening?
• Bernie is afraid he said too much.
• Steve is confused about the tenor of the meeting.
• Dan is sure Steve has taken advantage of Bernie.
• Steve believes he has done a creative and responsible job of estimating costs.
• Bernie still has no idea Dan doesn't know about the modified $7,500 cost.
• Dan is sure these actions were deliberate and intended to challenge his authority.
An argument is inevitable, one that will likely include finger-pointing, accusations, and regretted statements. However, one sentence can change all this, and I think Bernie will say it. "Dan, I neglected to tell you that the original software package cost has been modified down to $7,500, so I allowed Steve the $2,500 re-appropriation to buy the software peripherals because it's now a better product and still within budget."
With that sentence all of the potential frustration and anger dissipate. Unfortunately, every person in this scenario has injected preconceived notions, and everyone is on a collision course. Such a simple answer to a seemingly complicated problem.
Emphasis Is Everything
I have seen lately that this type of misunderstanding occurs more often with the increased use of email and text messaging. These forms of communication lack the kind of conjecture and emotion that allow people to be clear in what they are presenting.
As we enter this new age of business and personal communication, let's be sure to keep in mind a simple screening process to minimize confusion:
• What am I trying to accomplish from this assignment?
• Who is affected and therefore should be kept in the loop?
• Where does this assignment fit in with the company mission?
• When are the deadlines and other deadlines that may be affected?
• How is this assignment supposed to look when it is complete? Do I have a vision of it?
This short list may save countless hours of having to "re-do" procedures.
An attendee at the seminar introduced a perfect example to demonstrate the problem of confusing communication. Read the following sentence multiple times. Put the emphasis on a different word each time, and see how it changes the entire meaning of the sentence.
"I didn't say he stole it."
Pretty interesting, isn't it. I knew that was what you were thinking … well, I assumed.

Network and engage with colleagues from a cross-section of the global, regional and local firms
Most law firms do not fit neatly into typical corporate structures. Many of the large, cross-border firms use structures such as Swiss vereins or UK CLGs, which essentially allow firms to grow through M&A without actually having to properly fuse the various firms under the umbrella. These remain, to a far larger extent than in any normal corporation, separate businesses.
Within these diffuse structures, and also at smaller firms, the firms are further siloed by a partnership model in which each business unit is controlled by individual partners, making a law firm an agglomerate of many smaller businesses all operating under one roof, each with a powerful head suspicious of the centre and its costs.
This model makes centralised decision-making next to impossible. It stands in the way of innovation and long-term investment. And it makes processes which require centralisation and standardisation, such as finance, marketing, HR, compliance, technology and cybersecurity a nightmare – if they can be implemented at all.
But clients are demanding higher and higher levels of cybersecurity from their critical third parties and regulations demand compliance regardless. So security professionals inside legal firms must overcome structural challenges and:
- Secure core infrastructure
- Harden their IdAM programmes
- Solve their problems with mobile and BYOD
- Find ways to create global policies and processes
- Centralise core data and information services
- To bolster regulatory compliance
- To obtain senior management buy-in
The 11th Securing the Law Firm will cover these and other key subjects for its audience of professionals tasked with safeguarding digital assets and sensitive data. It will focus on the latest developments in the regulatory environment and in technology and the cybersecurity solutions market.
It will look at how cybersecurity best practice can realistically be achieved within the current structure of the legal industry and what law firms can do to demonstrate security to their clients.
There will be real-life case studies, strategic talks and technical break-out sessions to help end-users understand how these new technologies can be cost-effectively deployed in real-life business situations.
Hear from leaders in your sector describe how they are solving the problems you struggle with. See how they operate in terms of resourcing and hiring, how they deal with third-party risks and how to show management that cybersecurity investment is an investment in the bottom line.

On June 26 the French Riviera hosted Bal Eclectique, a charitable social event attended by 150 members of the Russian and European elite.
At Château de la Napoule, one of the area's most breath-taking castles, the guests enjoyed an evening full of illusions and surprises. "Eclectic throughout" was the motto of the event, and it held true for mixed classical and modern operatic arias interpreted in new and unusual ways by Vienna Opera Ball soloist Valentina Naforiţa as well as a legendary show put on by Château de Fantômas—outrageous stunts and the mesmerizing flexibility and grace of the human form. The French Riviera truly witnessed a magical evening.
The idea for the event was conceived by Club Eclectique founders Anna Nasobina, Liana Romanova, and Victoria Granovaskaya, as the club has already been holding literature evenings around Europe for several years. Anna, Liana, and Victoria did their best to create a truly unique event full of meaning and action for everyone who was there. And not only did the trio come up with a social highlight; it also became an important charitable initiative. The guest list included: Snezhana Georgievna, Victoria Lopyreva, Karina Oshroeva, Dasha Veledeeva, Margarita Buryak, Kristina Levieva, Olga and Victoria Goldovskaya, Sergej Benedetter, Ovanes Pogosyan, German Larkin, Gary Sackler, and many more.
The organizers reached back into the traditions of the last century, when Château de la Napoule witnessed parties beyond belief. They were hosted by well-known American sculptor and artist Henry Clews, Jr., who moved his workshop to the old castle in 1914. Its walls still ring with memories from Henry's and his wife's events, which is why it was the perfect location for the first Bal Eclectique.
All proceeds from ticket sales went to the event's partner, Austrian Wiener Lerntafel and a charitable program called Mission, who will use them to better the lives of thousands of children in Europe and Russia. Mission organizes educational programs for children aged six to 14 from poor families, and is also spent helping orphans.
"It's hard to make a dream come true when a child's heart has lost hope that they can," noted Margarita Buryak, president of Mission. "When things like that happen, you feel like your life means something. After all, this world's greatest miracle is the ability to do good!"
Bal Eclectique was supported by Rolls Royce, Bouchard Père & Fils, and Benedesse.
The event's informational partners were Harper's Bazaar, Vienna Deluxe, and Bereg.

critque of cartesianism and anti-cartesianism
§0: situation
the reader may have noticed some similarities and some differences between my findings and those of Rene Descartes; so, perhaps, a comparison with cartesian thinking is in order.
some of these points emerged in during the course of my philosophical meditations. others derive from my research into the secondary literature of cartesianism. I2've placed them here to present them in a coherent fashion. in one sense the incorporation of previous scholarship indicates that I2've gone beyond the purely meditative approach; but, I2 prefer to see the construction of a coherent and consistent critique of cartesianism as an extended meditation on the path itself.
it is a common thought that Descartes' aim in writing his Meditations was to invite the reader to undertake the journey of the inquirer -- the 'I' of the Meditations is the 'I' of any reader who accepted that invitation.
I2 find myself embarked on this same journey; but, reporting results that are not identical to those reported by Descartes; so, clearly, there is for a critique to identify and preserve the insights of cartesianism as well as the insights of anti-cartesian thinking.
- § 1: structural similarities and content differences
- § 1.1: the privileged identification
- § 1.2: the search-focusing question
- § 1.3: the awareness of ignorance
- § 1.4: the assertion of self-reality
- § 2: Descartes' initial reasoning process
- § 3: intro to structure diagrams

Good Pitching, Running into a Screen Door, and How Anger Screws Up Men's Brains
The leadership behind Man Therapy (really good stuff there) invited Minds & Men to write about some of the science behind how anger can mess with men. Check it out.
*Why: Men are taught a lot about what it means to be a man. Psychological research provides a bunch of evidence for what aspects of "masculinity" can be harmful and helpful. Here we aim to shed light on some of these findings and provide ways for men to become better men (without being intellectual pricks about it).

Telecom lifecycle management is a hot topic in companies with mid to enterprise level telecommunications needs ranging from wireless phones to landlines and internet. What is it? Why is it essential to modern telecom expense management?
This January, the Aberdeen Group published "Recovering with Telecom Lifecycle Management," a report that details the advantages of this method and how it can help drive a company's re-emergence into the economy after the last two difficult years. According to the report, best in class service resulted in a 16% reduction in telecom spend on services that covered 45% of employees with advanced communications (such as smartphones and video).
Saving 16% on some of the most expensive telecom services is certainly nothing to sneeze at! But how does it work?
A 360 Degree Approach
Traditional telecom expense management deals with everything from wireless to long distance as if its needs have "fallen out of the sky." The client has a number of phones, carriers and services in play and it's the job of a telecom audit to find flaws and errors, research the field for better solutions and apply them as much as possible.
Where traditional telecom expense management reacts, telecom lifecycle management acts. Telecom lifecycle management is a holistic approach that starts with sourcing and procuring the most appropriate hardware for business functions at the best price. Lifecycle management applies appropriate carriers, plans and policies, and tracks every handset and service from its beginning to end. Tracking includes traditional telecom expense management functions such as bill monitoring and cost management. When service is necessary, telecom lifecycle management gets it done. Experts plan upgrades and service changes along with the gradual reassignment, recycling and replacement of each unit.
Perfecting the Cycle
This program results in constant improvements in cost efficiency and quality. The cycle of procurement, monitoring, service and replacement includes data collection and analysis of all aspects of company communications. Telecom managers apply this information to the next cycle, selecting appropriate hardware, services and agreements based on the most comprehensive, up to date information. This virtuous cycle of self correction provides the best possible solution.
Technology Managed Through Technology
Telecom lifecycle management depends on accurate, information that can be sorted, connected and applied to management decisions. This requires a specialized application, which is why it's the newest telecom expense management method. Tele-Watch is our technology for lifecycle management, and it not only tracks data for telecom experts, but for non-specialist managers as well.

mozdev.org - mozile: index
Mozilla Inline Editor is an in-browser, context-sensitive, XHTML editor that allows a user to edit all or just specific editable sections of any XHTML page from the comfort of his own browser. It can act as the client-side of a content-editing system or as a self-contained "web word processor".
Tom Hoffman pointed to this the other day. For those of you who use Internet Explorer on the PC, this is not a big deal, but for anyone who uses another browser on the PC, or uses a Mac to publish their weblog, Mozile is a great add-on for those looking for a simple html editor.
It is a JavaScript, so it needs to be saved on your server and then called by your page. I'm not sure how to edit the "new entry" templates in Moveable Type so I could take advantage of it. Any ideas?

All that we create comes about with the use of tools. If you fancy gardening, no doubt you have shovels, rakes, and watering cans at the ready. And so it is with psychic readers. While there are thousands of ways we can connect with our intuition and pass along messages to others, a few of them have become quite well known and broadly accepted. Astrology is among the most popular tools used, along with tarot cards and crystal balls. Anyone who loves their craft has certain favourites in the collection of tools at their disposal. So, let's gather our shovels and rakes and dig into ye olde psychic toolbox.
Starting with the stars: Astrology is the study of planetary alignment. More specifically it is the study of the path and positions of the sun, moon and stars and what influence this may have in your life. This practice began over 2,000 years ago when emperors and kings would rely on astrologers to predict weather patterns, impending war, and even warn them of deceit among their people.
Today, you can hop online and get your daily horoscope or read about any zodiac sign to learn more about characteristics attributed to those born on a certain day. But, we can also access the types of chart readings the leaders of days gone by relied upon to make important life decisions. From career paths to advice on personal relationships, astrology continues to grow in popularity as a means of guidance through our own lives.
"Astrology is a science in itself and contains an illuminating body of knowledge. It taught me many things and I am greatly indebted to it." –Albert Einstein
By providing your date and time of birth to a reputable astrologer, he/she will be able to gather information related to your life path. Lessons from past and present situations may become clearer to you as your astrologer interprets this information. Indicators in the path of your planets can help you make decisions on possible upcoming events in your life.
"Oh the wonderful knowledge to be found in the stars. Even the smallest things are written there…if you had but skill to read." –Benjamin Franklin
If you have a natural curiosity about the stars and planets, this may be a good tool to have in your kit. Whether you decide to use it for personal purposes or to help others along their own path, astrology is a fascinating study and reliable source of spiritual information.
Tuning in to the tarot: The history of tarot cards is rich in diversity and controversy. Several theories exist about their origin, ranging from ancient Egypt to the Asian gypsies. Some say the deck was developed as a card game which then gave birth to the cards we use today in poker games and the like. Their opposition states that the tarot is derivative of the original playing cards.
Whether it was the chicken or the egg that came first, tarot readings are a favourite among those seeking spiritual guidance in their lives. The standard decks consist of 78 cards which are divided into major and minor arcanum.
Major arcana cards make up less than half of the deck, usually numbered 0-22. Generally, when a major arcana shows up in a reading it is indicative of a big event or change occurring presently or in the very near future. It may also be interpreted to mean that a matter of utmost importance is at hand which needs immediate attention.
Minor arcana cards are divided into four "suits" (14 cards in each suit) most commonly depicted as wands, cups, swords, and pentacles. Each suit then correlates to an element (i.e. wands=fire, cups=water, swords=air, and pentacles=earth).
In addition to the elements, tarot cards are a culmination of pictures, symbols, numbers, and colors. All of these attributes, in combination with intuition, will unfold into a reading which can answer the queries presented. The layout of the cards can range from a simple one card draw for a brief glimpse into a pressing question to elaborate spreads which allow for a more detailed and specific reading.
If this all seems overwhelming, fear not! Research about the symbols and elements, etc. will certainly lead to a more comprehensive understanding of your deck. But, most come with their own guide book explaining the meaning of each card and giving examples of layouts for you to practice. In time, you will develop your own understanding of what your deck is "trying to tell you". Before you know it, you may have several decks in your toolbox!
The crystal correlation: Crystal balls are a popular tool used for scrying (which means "seeing" or "revealing"). This is an ancient practice possibly pre-dating 3000BC. From pharos and kings to witches and common folk, scrying has been used across the ages and around the world for purposes of divination. Other reflective surfaces may also be used, such as mirrors, water, and oil. But, for our purposes here, let's pull the crystal ball out of the toolbox and take a look.
Crystal gazing doesn't incorporate charts or layouts, but is reliant on the clairvoyant ability of the gazer. Some people insist the ball must be clear and made of crystal. Others prefer colour and/or some occlusions (perhaps to assist in gaining a focal point), and don't agree with the necessity of it being made of crystal. As with any means of divination, it is about what the reader is comfortable using. The visuals that appear to the seer are not emanating from the ball itself. Rather, they are able to see what is in their mind which has been perceived by their intuition.
If you decide to try scrying, be patient. It will take time to get used to the practice of it and find your own best way to tap into the subconscious messages. Remember too that if you don't have a crystal ball on hand, gazing is also done with mirrors or even a bowl of water.
Now, the fun part about tools is that you can choose to use one type or you can mix it up a little. Our friend, the gardener might be using a little hand rake to loosen up the soil, but if it gets clumped up or they need to dig deeper, a small hand shovel may be used as well. Psychic readers can do this as well. If a tarot reader is having trouble determining some factor within a reading, he or she might pull cards from a different deck for a little clarity on the situation. Also, the information given from an astrological chart can be given more detail by having a tarot spread done as well. This is great for situations where a person needs more specific information at a given time.
As we pack up our psychic toolbox, it is important to remember that the future is not set in stone. Divinatory tools are helpful for revealing probable outcomes based on past and current situations. They offer suggestions via spiritual energies to assist one along his or her life path. It is then up to the individual to choose which road to take. As an example, a woman may ask if she will ever have a baby. The reader may be able to see children in her future based on how her life is going at the time. However, should she decide she doesn't want children she of course can make that choice and thus change the outcome of that reading. So, keep that toolbox close by. Nurture it with positive energies. Mix it up a little to keep it fresh as your intuition blossoms and grows. What psychic tools do you use?

There will be weekly and/or monthly points of focus that might include working with a particular color/subject/etc, following a different procedure while making, or some combination of the two. I will also share these "prompts" before the week/month begins so that you can work along side me and we can all share notes on how they work for everyone. If this sounds interesting to you, please be sure to join the new mailing list created for the project and stay in the loop!

I am not sure that it is better for Singaporeans. The
Chinese Communist Party takes better care of their
people than the pap of Singaporeans.
For sure it is better for those in the pap especially the
top dogs.
It is even better than Communist party. It legalised the corruption by
paying all top civil servants up to 12 months of performance bonuses
without anyone checking. And if you want to check, you are against the
Law because this practice is done secretly and no body are supposed to
know how much they are getting.
Do you agree it is better the CP?
