The notion of wellness in the workplace has gained increasing publicity in recent times. From comprehensive wellness programs to incorporating wellbeing-enhancing features into building design, businesses and employees alike appear to be seeing the benefits. But where has this trend come from, and what does the future hold for wellness
The corporate wellness program is a concept that is likely to have evoked a confused reaction 20 years ago. But today, encouraging good health and wellbeing in the workplace is something that more and more employees are expecting.
Wellness programs commonly feature a mix of medical related services, such as health screenings, and emotional, mental and financial health provisions. Many programs have integrated with online platforms to allow employees access to health information at all times.
In an increasingly mobile jobs market, non-financial perks are an important differentiator to employees. Whether consciously or not, employees are therefore often swayed by wellness offerings, from a simple gym membership to a comprehensive package of wellbeing benefits.
This can influence success in both employee acquisition and retention, as companies create a caring and comfortable environment for their workers.
On the flip side, businesses are reported to have seen a 300% return on investment from their wellness program efforts. This is in addition to reductions in absenteeism, staff turnover and employee stress.
The role of the workplace building in promoting wellness is just a small part of the average corporate program, which usually highlights access to the above-mentioned services as its core offering.
However, this previously understated role is rising more to the surface as developers, landlords and employers better understand the benefits of healthy building design.
Wellness in building design is also evolving from building codes, particularly in those related to sustainable and resilient design.
This continues to be spearheaded in the USA, where movements such as active design and the WELL Building Standard are receiving a lot of attention.
For the first time, we now have an international standard for the quality of the indoor environment, developed by the International WELL Building Institute.
The standard addresses multiple factors, such as air, water, nourishment, light, fitness, comfort and mind.
Surprisingly, physical aspects such as indoor air quality have not previously had any strict associated legislation. Therefore, to see a standard that includes air, nourishment and emotional wellbeing as part of its main criteria is a huge step forward.
The workplace world is now being educated by buildings that have been awarded the WELL certification, thus further proliferating how wellness can be incorporated to the physical corporate space.
London's 22 Bishopsgate is the first building in the UK to be registered for the Well Building Standard (WELL certification).
In the USA, the Centre for Active Design (CfAD) is another body that is actively driving the wellness by design approach. A non-profit organisation, the CfAD uses design to encourage physical, mental, and social health in buildings.
Its work with the New York City government in 2010 resulted in the very first Active Design Guidelines for public buildings and those that receive public money, including new affordable housing.
On a global level, Fitwel is leading the way by encouraging improvements in building design and operations to support individual and community health.
Fitwel is already making waves across the world, with 90 projects having submitted for certification in the US, Canada, and the UK. Another 600 projects are committed for 2018.
Any reticence towards adopting wellness into building design is likely to come down to who bears the cost of it. In older buildings where businesses have been established for some time, the cost vs benefit dilemma is commonplace.
However, others are playing their part in ensuring the UK keeps up with developments in building-integrated wellness.
There are a growing number of case studies that show developers and architects who are championing wellness in building design.
Indeed, we only need to read further into this issue of The Occupier to learn about Derwent London, a developer that is differentiating its offering through providing wellness by design.
New developments such as White Collar Factory in Old Street are shining examples of buildings that intrinsically encourage and facilitate employee wellbeing.
In the case of existing tenanted buildings, landlords are beginning to work with occupiers to ensure changes can be made.
As with the wellness programs mentioned above, the reasons for incorporating wellness into building design comes down to business benefits.
As employees become savvier and aware of what' s available in the jobs market, many are specifically seeking modern workplaces with healthy lifestyle related perks.
To attract good talent, businesses therefore need to view the physical space as a differentiator and invest accordingly.
It appears that workplace wellness will continue to rise up the corporate agenda in 2018.
Wellness programs are continuing to evolve, with aspects such as learning and development classes, employee recognition and workplace design all predicted to take further precedence.
With developers, architects and landlords beginning to take wellbeing in the workplace seriously, like it or loathe it, you can expect to hear a lot more about workplace wellness from here on in.

Limpopo Mirror
An artist's impression of the proposed SEZ.
Premier Chupu Mathabatha said the flagship Musina-Makhado Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Project was nearing the implementation stage and in this regard they were designing measures to ensure that the significant value chain to be produced in this SEZ remained in the province.
"Our focus is to ensure that a significant number of the projected jobs should be taken up by the people of Limpopo, particularly our young people. It is also worth mentioning that, due to the increasing investor appetite in this project, our initial target of creating 21 000 jobs is set to be revised upwards," said Mathabatha.
He made these comments during the State of the Province Address in Lebowakgomo.
He said that in an effort to get the construction work started at this SEZ, "I have since directed the MEC for Economic Development, Environment and Tourism to fast-track the finalization of the environmental impact assessment and the adoption of the internal master plan by October of this year".
He added that the Tubatse SEZ was at an advanced stage. "Our business proposal will most likely be lodged with the Minister for Trade & Industry and Economic Development by the end of August. Pending this formal process, we will be continuing with the industrial activities within this envisaged Tubatse SEZ and these include, but are not limited to, the mining input supplier park and construction incubation," he said.
Mathabatha said that, in the same vein, they had established a partnership with the Department of Higher Education and Training, TVET colleges in particular, for SEZ skills-development purposes. "We are also establishing a Limpopo Skills Academy through the Limpopo Economic Development Agency (LEDA). This academy is expected to feed the skills demands for these SEZ initiatives. We have completed a youth-digital-skills database, and it has enabled us to digitize varied skills possessed by young people in our province," he added.

Pavel, you are the first cook that i have ever encountered that advised using rock salt.
Mined, crushed, screened and bagged; it's full of dirt and impurities as you can see if you examine it closely. It's only meant to be a winter ice melter.
Not true, you can get pure rock salt.
Good to know there's a culinary rock salt product, thank you. I've only cooked with varieties of crystal salt.
Would you replace Kosher salt with it?When and why, anyone?Just on roasts?
No problem to use any kind of salt of course
Totally. It's called food grade.

Good Food Box
What is the Good Food Box?
The Good Food Box (GFB) is a program under the Community Kitchen Program of Calgary where you can purchase fresh fruits and vegetables at a very low cost. The Good Food Box is a hands-up program as opposed to a hand-out. This offers sustainable access to nutritious food to ensure that no one has to go hungry. The boxes are put together and delivered by dedicated volunteers who along with the Community Kitchen desire to see individuals and families accessing affordable nutritious food.
How Does the GFB Operate? The GFB operates by buying fresh top quality produce directly from farmers and from wholesale clubs. The food is bought in bulk and dropped off at their Calgary warehouse. Volunteers divide the produce into portions and put the "Good Food Boxes" together. Boxes contain the maximum produce possible in them for the price. Each monthly box contains the same mixture of staple produce, though some of the contents will change seasonally.
June Good Food Box Contents
January 22/23 boxes on sale - 6 am December 6 to 9 am January 13.
Customised contents for a box is NOT possible.
FAQ's at Bow Valley Good Food Box Facebook page and more info at Canmore PCN
Bow Valley Good Food Box Program

Anyone else remember the promised "In-Memory Database" (IMDB) that was to be part of COM+ some years back? Well, Microsoft has finally delivered a first version of it in ADO.NET's DataSet class.
For those who haven't take a look at ADO.NET yet, don't make the mistake of assuming the DataSet is a replacement of the Recordset from ADO. DataSets contain one or more tables. Tables can be setup with relationships, keys, constraints, etc. Though a real SQL engine does not exist (yet), DataSets do allow you to re-create some of your databases in memory. If you are attempting to scale your database servers, please take a look at this very cool technology!

Version 1.0.2
19 downloadsThis lightweight plugins enables your Invision Power Board (IPB) software to act as a web hosting management platform for Reseller Hosting, similar to WHMCS. Unlike a Dedicated or VPS with root access, Reseller Hosting is a cheap alternative for web designers and administrators to host several websites using cPanel's Web Hosting Manager (WHM). Reseller Hosting is offered by many of the top web hosting companies. IPB does not natively support cPanel/WHM accounts without root access thus making resell hosting through IPB difficult. This plugin allows you the ability specify a package/plan name that you've created in WHM and assign it to a hosting product within Commerce. Hosting account quotas such as disk space, bandwidth, email accounts, database accounts etc. are managed through each plan you create within WHM.

Jon Erickson started following [Tutorial] WHMCS OAuth2.0 SSO Integration
Greetings, with the industry standard of Single Sign-On (SSO) continually increasing, the need to provided authentication and authorization across your independent software systems is paramount for system administrators and web development engineers. For those who run WHMCS, a popular web hosting control platform, here is a quick tutorial to use your installation of IPB as an OAuth2.0 client and WHMCS as the OAuth2.0 server to provide SSO capabilities for your IPB and WHMCS systems. Step 1: Make sure your IP is whitelisted within the WHMCS control panel. We will be using the WHMCS API to manage and create our OAuth2.0 credentials. You can add your IP to the whitelisted IP's under Setup -> General Settings -> Security Tab -> "API IP Access Restriction". Step 2: Create a set of API credentials that we will use to access the WHMCS API that will allow us to create our OAuth2.0 credentials. You can add your API credentials within WHMCS control panel by going to Setup -> Staff Management -> Manage API Credentials. Create a new API credential - making sure to copy the identifier and secret. Your API credential will need access to an API role that has all "Authentication" permissions. Step 3: Download an application you can use to run REST API requests. I use Postman which is free and provides everything you will need. You can also use cURL. Step 4: Create an OAuth2.0 credential that will be used by IPB to obtain an authorization code my making a POST request to the WHMCS API. Make sure to fill in 'username' and 'password' with your API identifier and secret, respectively. You can obtain your IPB_OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI by logging into the IPB admin control panel, visit Login & Registration -> Create New -> Other OAuth2.0 -> Application Settings. cURL Request $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://www.example.com/includes/api.php'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query( array( 'action' => 'CreateOAuthCredential', 'username' => 'WHMCS_API_IDENTIFIER', 'password' => 'WHMCS_API_SECRET', 'granttype' => 'authorization_code', 'scope' => 'clientarea:sso clientarea:profile clientarea:billing_info clientarea:emails clientarea:announcements clientarea:downloads clientarea:knowledgebase clientarea:network_status clientarea:product_details clientarea:invoices clientarea:tickets clientarea:submit_ticket clientarea:shopping_cart_domain_register clientarea:shopping_cart_domain_transfer clientarea:upgrade', 'description' => 'OAuth2.0 credentials for IPB SSO.', 'responsetype' => 'json', 'redirectUri' => 'IPB_OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI', 'name' => 'IPB SSO' ) ) ); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); $response = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); Postman Step 5: Copy the clientIdentifier and clientSecret you received.

Jon Erickson commented on Mark's entry in Product Updates@opentype When they first released it in one of the 4.4.0 Beta's, I was able to get it up and running and had several successful PayPal transactions with reoccurring charges, however several beta's later it **** the bed and completely stopped working for me. Very frustrating.

TOP 10 body art of 2013
TOP 10 body art of 2013
above image courtesy of eliza bennett
whether intricately painted, painstakingly sewn, crudely drawn, or dramatically sculpted, 2013 saw a number of international artists using human bodies, limbs, hair, and skin as the canvas in their creative projects. these atypical mediums have been the basis of works like 'the double faced girl' — drawing directly onto the face — and 'a woman's work is never done' — embroidering into the skin — to sculptures and art objects that appropriate bodily attributes in their materialization, as in the skin furniture series and eyelash jewelry. take a look below at designboom's most popular body art articles of 2013.
eliza bennett embroiders a self-inflicted sculpture into her flesh
image courtesy of eliza bennett
using her own skin as a canvas, british artist eliza bennett has realized a self-inflicted sculpture, woven into the palm of her hand. 'a woman's work is never done' results as an incredibly worn-looking hand, overworked and fatigued. by using intricate embroidery techniques — traditionally used to symbolize femininity — and applying it to a context of its opposite, bennett challenges the pre-conceived notion that 'women's work' is light and easy.
portraits of the double-faced girl by sebastian bieniek
doublefaced no. 22
image courtesy and © sebastian bieniek
berlin-based artist sebastian bieniek unfolds the story of a two-faced female in his series of photographs 'doublefaced'. using an eye pencil and lipstick, bieniek simply draws an image of a face onto the side of skin. the sketch includes only one eye: carefully placed hair hides the rest of the face from view, revealing one, moving eye of the model. the 22 photographs of the hybrid girl expose her routine, capturing the daily life of a female with two faces.
designboom talks to the invisible man liu bolin
liu bolin, hiding in california no. 2 – hollywood, 2013
photograph, 44 1/4 x 59 inches (112.5 x 150 cm)
in 2013, chinese artist liu bolin has returned to new york's eli klein gallery for 'mask', a multifaceted exhibition that featured new photographs of bolin camouflaged in iconic settings across new york and california as well as a series of sculptures that offer a critical take on traditional peking opera masks. the photographic works include not only new pieces in bolin's 'hiding in new york' project, but also a new series entitled 'hiding in california', that finds the artist nearly invisible against the backdrop of the TED talks stage and hollywood sign among other landmarks.
sculpted skin furniture by jessica harrison
'high back chair', 2009
mixed media
7.5cm x 6cm x 9.5cm
image courtesy of jessica harrison
persuaded by a fascination in human anatomy and bodily functions, UK-based artist jessica harrison sculpts miniature pieces of furniture with materials made from casts of her own skin. each of the small objects are representations of interior items, and are built from the relief of molded structures duplicated from the palms and backs of her hands. a mix of mediums, like unruly strands of hair, complete each figurine in the 'handheld' series, seeking to consider the relationship between interior and exterior spaces of the body.
david lynch's hair and its fine art equivalent
a lynchian bouffant is compared to katsushika hokusai's 'the great wave' in 'the painting' by jimmy chen
what is david lynch known for? some say his films, others would argue his hair. san francisco-based creative jimmy chen has married the iconic variations of the filmmaker's hairstyles with the equivalent in famous artworks. the grid, entitled 'the painting', puts monet's water lilies side by side with a perfectly groomed lynchian bouffant, or perhaps van gogh's starry night can be likened to a silvery shock of hair.
ariana russell's ephemeral skin compositions
image courtesy of ariana russell
american artist ariana russell responds to the unique components of her skin to draw painless, temporary, and ephemeral designs on her body, visible just long enough to photograph the results. russell has a skin condition called dermatographia, where her immune system releases excessive amounts of histamine, causing temporary welts to appear when the surface is lightly scratched. she adopted the affliction as part of her creative process, rather than being frustrated by her skin's sensitivity and translucency, eventually embracing the flaw and recognizing it as an unconventional source of influence and the foundation of her craft.
ghostly expressions leak through covered faces by ana de orbegoso
image courtesy of the artist
new york-based artist ana de orbegoso has presented her opus titled 'invisible walls' in an exhibition titled 'paralleling narratives' – a photographic exploration of the barriers which have become embedded into the essence of human beings. the composite images depict the hazy contours of an expression leaking through a hand-covered face – each person's own diaphanous hands symbolizing their own individual, barely perceptible, barrier. this project is about those 'invisible walls' that disconnect us both from each other and from different aspects within ourselves.
made to dislike accessories by remedios vincent
image courtesy the artist
spanish artist remedios vincent experiments with objects that are no longer fit for their original purpose, however, when appropriated to a new context, are granted a new life. the handcrafted collection, titled 'made to dislike', have been created using items bought in antique shops, most of them in existence for more than a century – giving them each their own rich history, fixed with various humanistic elements like teeth, eyelashes, and faux eyeballs.
RMIT students paint anatomical man into human textbook
image courtesy of the age © simon o'dwyer
as a response to a national decline in the amount of time spent on anatomy in university courses, royal melbourne institute of technology professor dr. claudia diaz developed an innovative educational approach to engage graduates in their study. a student volunteer was fully transformed into a highly-detailed, and biologically accurate anatomical man. with the help of body paint and models, a team of five students meticulously concealed his entire body in layers of pigment, painstakingly coloring the muscles and tendons to be scientifically sound, in an indication of what the human body would look like if it were to be stripped of the skin.
image © rut mackel
the photographic project 'the ugly truth' by rut mackel explores the ugliness and the beauty that exists collectively within each of us – by drastically transforming faces from aesthetically attractive to something more unpleasant. the images were created through having framed glass pressed against the face of a model in order to encourage various face distortions. mackel offers to challenge our perception of attractiveness by provoking change through a sudden shift in appearance, and attempting to recognize what emotional responses are consequently triggered.

"Big Fun In The Big Town"
(Five Day Weekend)
In the autumn of 1986, Dutch film-maker Bram Van Splunteren undertook what, at the time, many of his peers no doubt deemed to be a foolhardy quest, travelling to the drug-ridden, poverty-stricken inner-city streets of New York to gain a better understanding of the Hip-Hop artists who had caught his imagination and begun to rival his passion for rock artists of the day.
Entering the Rotten Apple with a small camera crew, a list of contacts and a wide-eyed fascination with this new style of cutting-edge music that had seemingly appeared on the world stage almost from nowhere, Splunteren unknowingly captured footage of artists who would go on to become some of Hip-Hop's most iconic figures during the early days of their recording careers. At the same time the film also shows the close connection between Hip-Hop and the streets the culture was born from by including a handful of rap-obsessed youngsters attempting to look towards a brighter future in a social environment battered by Reaganomics, the 80s crack epidemic and failing school systems.
As the documentary begins, Splunteren is seen in his hotel room flicking through a copy of David Toop's seminal 1984 book "Rap Attack", doing some last minute research accompanied by the radio sounds of the late Mr. Magic and a youthful Marley Marl before fully immersing himself in a week of interviews, live performances and tours around some of NYC's roughest areas of the time.
First visiting turntable pioneer Grandmaster Flash in his South Bronx stomping grounds, the journalist is shown the already defunct Dixie Club (as seen in classic Hip-Hop flick "Wild Style") before returning to Flash's nearby apartment where the legend shows-off both a typically garish 80s-style personalised leather jacket and also his natural ability to "take (a record) apart and put it back together again", cutting up the timeless "Take Me To The Mardi Gras" breakbeat whilst explaining how his first attempts to showcase his talents back in the 70s were disappointingly met with public bemusement.
Before leaving the BX, Splunteren pays a visit to the Harry S Truman High School, capturing teenage students dropping old-school rhymes in the playground, whilst an astute teacher explains how Hip-Hop had provided a creative outlet for the kids seen adopting b-boy poses for the camera at a time when lack of funds meant that music classes had been stripped out of many inner-city schools.
A young Doug E. Fresh is found standing on a Harlem street-corner, running through his beatbox repertoire whilst also predicting Hip-Hop's rise to global prominence, before Bram makes his way to the crack-infested blocks of Manhattan's Lower East Side to interview events promoter Vito Bruno about the supposed connection between Hip-Hop and violence.
Perhaps suprisingly, two of the forty-minute film's most memorable scenes don't involve any well-known names or soon-to-be legendary figures, but instead capture the hopes, dreams and fears of unknowns caught up in the excitement of being part of a cultural movement the world-at-large was still attempting to understand.
First comes a sobering moment during a one-on-one interview with a member of Manhattan's CBS Crew, where, away from the boisterous teenage energy of his homeboys, the young Hip-Hop junkie expresses his desire to see his friends succeed in life by making positive choices, but resigns himself to the fact that, living in ghetto circumstances, there's a strong chance some of those close to him may find themselves caught up in gangs and crime.
Then, upon arriving at Def Jam's headquarters to meet with Russell Simmons, Splunteren encounters Chicago duo The Mystery Crew, who have travelled all the way from the Windy City to rhyme outside the label's offices in the hope they might attract the right sort of attention and land a record deal. Delivering lyrics in a brash, back-and-forth Run-DMC style, the pair power their way through inspiring verses speaking out against social ills with a sense of purpose that hints at the fact that, even if the rest of the world hadn't yet worked it out, these Chi-town emcees knew that Hip-Hop had the potential to change both their lives and the lives of those around them.
It's difficult to watch "Big Fun In The Big Town" and not find yourself wondering what happened to both the members of NY's CBS Crew and the Mystery boys. The stories of other artists featured such as Run DMC, Roxanne Shante and Schoolly D have been well-documented, but the inclusion of these moments with relative unknowns only goes to illustrate how much of a lifeline and powerful force Hip-Hop was (and still is) to anyone who felt the cultural ripples of the creative blast that exploded out of the Bronx during the 1970s and early-80s.
Another highlight is seeing a teenage LL Cool J naively discussing how he doesn't feel Hip-Hop artists should contain messages in their music as such subject matter might alienate listeners, with Mr. Smith's interview being juxtaposed against footage of Suliaman El Hadi of The Last Poets criticising Hip-Hop artists for not doing enough to make their audience think about the world around them, choosing instead to use their lyrics to, as he sees it, simply boost their own egos.
Call it foresight or just pure luck, but Splunteren seems to display a knack throughout "Big Fun In The Big Town" for touching on topics that would become huge issues for the Hip-Hop community in the years to follow, from the lack of female emcees in the rap world, to the relationship between rap and violence, on to the subject of artistic authenticity and the place of rappers as role models.
Although enthusiastic and obviously keen to find out more about the artists whose records he'd been buying and listening to, Bram's interview technique and approach to his subjects goes far beyond simple fandom. The Dutch journalist treats the artists he speaks to with a respect and overall awareness of the culture's roots that wouldn't come from the mainstream music media for some time.
An undiluted snapshot of a burgeoning artform trying to find its place in the world, "Big Fun In The Big Town" is a timeless piece of film-making that captures everything that was exciting and fresh about Hip-Hop during the culture's unreplicable golden-age, without ignoring some of the more serious social issues that surrounded the music.
Essential viewing for both old and new Hip-Hop fans alike.

Another hearty breakfast idea for the weekend or anytime you fancy!
For Tomato, Avocado & Ricotta Toppings
- ½ lb cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 2 avocados, halved and core removed
- ½ lb ricotta cheese
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 lemon
For Fried Eggs & Toasted Bread
- canola oil, for frying
- eggs (1-2 per person, depending on what is preferred too)
- salt and pepper
- 1 loaf of bread
- olive oil, to drizzle
- red pepper flakes, to garnish
- In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss to combine. In another bowl, scoop out the avocado and use a fork to smash it until smooth and slightly chunky. Season with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste. In another bowl, whisk the ricotta until smooth and creamy. Season with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste. Refrigerate these toppings until ready to serve.
- In a medium sauté pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Crack a few eggs into the pan at a time. Season with salt and pepper. While they are cooking, spoon the hot oil over the egg whites so they cook evenly and set up. Cook until the egg yolk has reached your desired doneness. Repeat with the rest of the eggs. (If making a lot, use multiple pans.)
- Preheat the oven and turn the broiler on high. Slice the loaf of bread into 1-inch slices. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and drizzle each side with olive oil. Toast in the broiler until crispy but still soft in the middle, just a minute or two on each side (watch them carefully…they will burn quickly).
To Serve
Spread the toasted bread with either the smashed avocado or whipped ricotta. Place eggs on top of some of the toasts and spoon the tomatoes over the rest. Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the bruschetta and dig in. Or forget all of this and arrange the bruschetta in any way you'd like!

My name is Robin, and so far I've been alive for somewhat over half a century.
Born and raised in Indiana, USA, I lived the first 20+ years of my adult life in Mexico City, Mexico, then in Costa Rica (Central America) for a couple of years. I now reside in South Florida, where I delight in the mix of cultures and cuisines (Cuban, Dominican, Haitian, South American, New York/Jersey, and more). I'm female, 100% bilingual English-Spanish, joyfully Roman Catholic, happily married to a man born and raised in South America. This is all pretty exotic for an introvert who grew up in a monolingual Midwestern milieu! [chuckle]
I've worked at quite a variety of jobs in my lifetime, including teacher of English as a foreign language at a college in Mexico for many years, airline reservations agent, direct in-home support to adults with developmental disabilities, big-box store cashier, clerk at a thrift store, and call center agent. I would love to retire from a day job someday, but unless a major miracle occurs, that will not be possible.
In addition to the usual 9-to-5, I spent 7 years developing recipes and writing (in Spanish and English) about authentic Mexican food for thespruceeats.com. Now the hubs and I maintain our own blog, where we share recipes from North, Central, and South America: comboplate.net
Fluent in English and Spanish. Have studied some Italian, Portuguese, German, and Polish. I love language, languages, and linguistics! However, I am not usually very talkative at all -- go figure. I do tend to be more loquacious in writing, as evidenced by the length of this profile! lol
Likes/loves include
FOLKLORE, popular culture and festivals, local history and quirky local places, the history and traditions of HOLIDAYS of all sorts (I adore Groundhog Day!)
Cooking, baking, COOKBOOKS; reading, talking about, trying and developing recipes.
TURTLES (freshwater), llamas, cats, lizards, otters, fireflies, dragonflies, ladybugs, butterflies, groundhogs, and robin birds (especially since my name is Robin); now learning to love all kinds of tropical wildlife. My husband is an enthusiast of sloths, pandas, and bears in general.
SUNFLOWERS, suns, smiley faces, the color yellow and cheerful things in general
PUZZLES, crosswords, word search, mazes, jigsaw puzzles, kaleidoscopes, board games
visiting MUSEUMS of all kinds, also botanical gardens, conservatories, etc; also birdwatching and simple gardening, especially succulents (currently just in containers as we live in an apartment)
ART and artistic and artsy craftsy stuff in general; ancient art, cave art, folk art, "primitive" art, and outsider / visionary art are particular favorites
artistic ATCs and all sorts of snail mail postal joy
Americana (USA) and anything Latin American and/or Caribbean
Linoleum print carving, mini-zine making, drawing, painting, cross stitch, creative writing, adult coloring, zendoodling, woodburning, very simple sewing, papercrafts, floral arranging; would love to try a lot more things.
I am totally not cool. On most days I'm pretty much okay with that, though I do apologize for any discomfort my dorkiness may cause. [winsome smile]
Sorry, but I am not really into gothic/dark, tattoos/piercings, girly things like make up and spa treatments, Disney, video games, cynicism, political bashing, anime, manga, new age, erotica, vampies or zombies, kawaii, or gourmet coffee. I'm not big on shopping (except for groceries, I do enjoy grocery shopping! oh, and thrift stores) and I am working on being less sarcastic.
However, I'm really not at all as crochety and dour as I know that last paragraph makes me sound. :-) While I do strive to be the best me that I can be, I do not believe that perfectionism is healthy.
I will always rate you for a swap I received. It might not happen the very same day that I receive your item (I can sometimes go a few days between visits to the site), but it will be within a week.
I've been a member here at Swap-Bot pretty much since the beginning of the site. My level/intensity of swapping activity has varied widely through the years. I've seen many trends come and go, as you might imagine.
In recent years it has become quite popular here to maintain a "wall of shame" or list of people who have flaked. I choose not to do that. There have been quite a few who have "done me wrong," and, yes, of course it's unpleasant, but I consider this an issue only between my partner and myself. I have given people low ratings when warranted -- and I consider that sufficient "punishment." If your views differ on this, I respect that. Please also respect mine.
As for my own (few and long ago) 1s and 3s: I am not proud of them, and I accept them without argument as fair consequences for my actions at the time. However, I generally don't discuss those ratings with anyone besides the people directly involved.
cassette tapes (my 2002 Honda has a tape deck), any type of music, books on tape, etc. UPDATE: my beloved Honda has now passed to a better life, but I am working on getting a boom box with cassette deck. I have settled on cassettes tapes as my absolute favorite format!
postcards (especially showing a recipe or a typcial craft/costume/food from your country or region)
anything particular to your region
nice stickers (no reward or tiny) or washi tape samples
zines or mini zines (relatively clean, please)
large blank unused notecards or greeting cards, blank inside or with a general cheery message (5x7 inches is ideal)
small denomination banknotes or coins from anywhere in the world
your very own tried and true favorite recipes
recipe pamphlets (like the ones given out for free with a food product) or cookbooks with recipes from real people (like those made for fundraising by churches and civic groups)
bookmarks, epecially handmade, related to your area (touristy or not), and the freebie ones given out by libraries, museums, bookstores, etc. (preferably not too childish)
lip balm in interesting flavors (not strawberry, bubble gum, or dill pickle flavored)
plant cuttings or seeds for succulent plants (with growing instructions)
Catholic miscellany (rosaries, images of saints, etc.)
address labels (not picky about image)
"discarded" pieces of cross stitch/embroidery or old crocheted doilies/dresser scarves. It always kills me when I see a stitched picture for sale at a thrift store, because some poor woman worked hard and long on it only for someone else to go and throw it out/donate it. I do understand downsizing and all, but this is the type of valuable piece that can be used to create something else (pillow, pin cushion, greeting card, whatever), so I try to "rescue" these precious items when I can and the price is reasonable.

Thank you so much for the animal snowflake book! I can't believe it got here so fast through Media Mail. Can't wait to use it.
I generally do not approve of someone with so many three and one ratings but since they were from years back I will approve you on our group artistically Inclined as I think you deserve another chance. Welcome
Thank you so much for the beautiful coloring book RAK that you sent to me. I am very thankful that I won this in the RAKS ONLY group.
Hello. Got the wonderful book for August Snowflake book RAK. It is pretty cool. Thanks again.

High-level probe ordered into CPI(M)leader's death, Tripura CM tells House
Sutradhar (55), who was a Zilla Parishad member in North Tripura during the CPI(M) rule in the state, was allegedly killed on his way back home from a wedding on Monday.
Two days after senior CPI(M) leader Tapas Sutradhar was found dead on the road with his throat slit, Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb today told the opposition members in the Assembly that he has ordered a "high-level" inquiry into the case.
Sutradhar (55), who was a Zilla Parishad member in North Tripura during the CPI(M) rule in the state, was allegedly killed on his way back home from a wedding on Monday night at Padmabil area of Unakoti district. Around the same time, a TV journalist was also allegedly attacked at Dharmanagar town of North Tripura district.
Suman Debnath suffered a deep cut on his throat and is undergoing treatment at a district hospital. The chief minister, during the Zero Hour in the House, said action would be taken against those found involved in Sutradhar's killing. He, however, did not mention anything about the attack on the journalist.
"I have already directed DGP AK Sukla to look into the matter. The superintendent of police in Unakoti district has already visited the spot and examined the FIR filed with the Panisagar police station," the CM, who also holds the Home portfolio, said while replying to a question by CPI(M) MLA Tapan Chakraborty.
Soon after Deb's reply, CPI(M) MLA Sudhan Das rose to his feet to point out that a TV journalist was also attacked on the same day and in a similar fashion. Taking an exception to the MLA's remark, the government's Chief Whip Kalyani Roy referred to the killings of two more scribes - Santanu Bhowmik and Sudip Dutta-Bhowmik - last year, when the CPI(M) was still in power. The CPI(M) had maintained a "studied silence" over the two cases, she alleged.
Meanwhile, former chief minister and Leader of Opposition Manik Sarkar, along with two MLAs, visited Sutradhar's family today. Sources in the CPI(M) party said the 55-year-old slain leader's family members sought a "thorough" probe into the case, during their meeting with Sarkar.

All NEBOSH qualifications require learners to carry out their own private study. The recommended private study hours do vary for each qualification.
To find the recommended private study hours for each qualification, visit the qualification section of the website.
The "Qualifications can cross Boundaries" leaflet is published by the regulators in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. The document itself states under 'how to use this leaflet': "This makes it possible to draw broad comparisons, rather than direct equivalences, between qualifications and their levels for each country." It is a useful guide for comparing standards and difficulty of qualifications across frameworks but it is not intended to not make definitive statements about direct equivalence or specific exemptions.
While it provides a comparison for levels, the "Qualifications can cross boundaries" chart does not compare credit values, i.e. the length or size of the qualification, the amount of time that it would take a typical learner to complete the qualification or learning programme. This varies between qualification types and between specific qualifications.
The leaflet also states: "Entry requirements for jobs and courses often vary within a country. This means you will need to check the specific requirements with the employer or institution for the job or course that you are interested in". It is ultimately the decision of the receiving organisation involved as to deciding whether or not to accept a particular qualification for exemption and the equivalent credit value they assign to an exemption for a specific programme.

Saying the time for silence is over, Carlisle Borough Councilman Sean Crampsie skipped over the moment of silence at the start of Thursday's borough council meeting to call on legislators to take action on gun control.
"I think it's time for a call to action for those folks that we vote for to do their damn job," he said. "If they care about health, safety and welfare, I hope they do their job like we do everyday.
Crampsie said the time for silence should have been over after the shooting at Columbine High School or after the incidents of gun violence that have followed in its wake — Virginia Tech, Texas, Pittsburgh, Ohio, Chicago, Philadelphia, Orlando or where he grew up in Allentown.
Red flag laws create a legal process whereby a gun owner's family and friends can petition a judge to order the temporary confiscation of the individual's firearms if sufficient evidence is presented that the person is a danger to themselves or others.
"It happens too much. I'm very frustrated and we just keep coming back to moments of silence and nothing changes," Crampsie said.
Crampsie said his concern is also for the police officers who go into situations in which someone might be heavily armed.
Friday, Crampsie said he had "received positive responses" to his comments from "those who would like to see action on this issue."
Action can't come from the borough due to state preemption laws, he said. That means local governments cannot enact gun regulations.
"We would need state or federal laws to change or new ones to be created," he said.
You have free articles remaining.
The council moved immediately to the Pledge of Allegiance after Crampsie's comments Thursday night. Only Mayor Tim Scott, in his role as the chair of the meeting, made any response.
"Thank you, Councilman Crampsie, for those words. They are appreciated," he said.
Former borough councilwoman Connie Bires attended the meeting and took an opportunity for public comment at the end of the meeting to remind Crampsie that the oath council members take calls on them to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the constitution and laws of Pennsylvania.
There are also statements that guarantee the rights of citizens, including the use of weapons for protection and other reasons, she said.
"I do mourn the deaths .. but there are other considerations," Bires said.
A moment of silence is typically held at the beginning of Carlisle Borough Council meetings. It is led by one of the members of the council, who typically talks briefly on a topic before asking those in attendance to reflect on the issue.
Issues are usually noncontroversial, focusing on such topics as remembering fallen police officers, thanking volunteers and the like.
Following the meeting, Crampsie reiterated his thoughts on Twitter, saying "The time for silence is over. #EnoughIsEnough."

When Andrew met Michael
Every time Andrew (the agile coach) proposed anything with this new team, Michael (one of the engineers) blew up.
He pushed back on everything, storming out and shouting. Andrew had never seen anything like it. But Michael changed. What did Andrew do?
Well, technically, he did nothing.
No serendipity without chaos
Life can throw us many curveballs. Sometimes, it feels like they come from all angles at once. Chaotic. Out of control. Scary. Painful. So we put up the defences, put in the controls, build walls.
But one day, just by accident, you catch one. You take a moment to look at it, and it realise that it really is quite beautiful.
How do you react to chaos? Do you control it? Ignore it? Or maybe, just give it (and you) the space it needs to breath.
Workshop— Facilitating Powerful Retrospectives
Alf, at 6' 6", was tall, lanky and in his mid-50s. He was helping me clear up after his first retrospective on this team. "The conversations in these retros," he said in his broad Essex accent. "They can be pretty raw, almost emotional." Then he paused, and thought for a moment. "But I guess," he said eventually, "After you have pretended to be an elephant in front of your peers, anything else goes, right?"
In this session, we'll explore how to bring excitement and fun to your retrospectives, making safe spaces that deepen the learning for your teams.
We will explore a number of concepts including:
— The value of a check-in and why anonymity is less important that we think it is.
— Why getting people to laugh is so important, the serious side of fun.
— How the environment can help a team become more objective, the value of surprise and the unexpected.
— Putting people at "unease".
— How a retro can help build cohesive teams and why team cohesion is so important.
— Tips learned from the field on how to run effective retros.
This will be a highly interactive session and we will be on our feet exploring a range of activities and facilitation techniques.

Illegal marine park fishing ends in hefty fine
A commercial fisher has been fined $15,000 for trawling in a marine park and not having his vessel tracking unit turned on.
Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries Mark Furner said the fisher was found guilty in the Sandgate Magistrates Court of fishing without operating a vessel tracking unit on three occasions, and also for commercial fishing in the Middle Moreton Bay Marine Park Zone which is prohibited.
"The fisher was trawling in a green zone, which is a serious offence," Mr Furner said.
"The operator's commercial fishing boat licence has since been cancelled for non-payment of fees.
"This prosecution is a great example of the Queensland Boating and Fisheries Patrol (QBFP) working closely with a partner agency, in this case the Department of Environment and Science, to get a successful outcome.
"QBFP uses a range of techniques and technology to uncover illegal activities, including surveillance cameras. We also recently deployed drones as part of our compliance enforcement effort, making it even harder for people to hide illegal activities."
Mr Furner said enforcing fishing rules would leave a legacy of a sustainable fishery for our children and grandchildren.
"It is vitally important that anyone thinking about casting a line in Queensland knows and follows our state's fishing regulations," Mr Furner said.
"Our state's fisheries resources belong to all Queenslanders and it is our job to protect fish for the future.
"Fish stocks are a resource that belong to all Queenslanders and protecting them protects thousands of jobs in both the commercial and recreational sectors."

A petition launched by an Algarve organisation against the exploration and extraction of oil and natural gas off the region's coast, planned to commence later this year, has already received more than 4,000 signatures.
"A disaster during oil or gas drilling or extraction will leave our marine flora and fauna vulnerable to the toxic effects" of this process, said the executive director of the Algarve Surf and Marine Activities Association (ASMAA), Laurinda Seabra, alerting the regional economy to the many potential negative impacts, particularly in the all important fishing and tourism sectors.
In the petition, the group of 50 volunteers, are appealing to the holders of oil and gas licenses to invest in alternative energy and asks that the Portuguese government renegotiates the contracts.
The ASMAA alerts the public to the risks to the marine ecosystem and highlights the fact that the areas chosen for the drilling have permanent seismic activity which heightens the risk of accidents during drilling for natural gas or oil.
"According to what I have studied there is no direct evidence of hydrocarbons in the Algarve Basin" according to geologist Paulo Fernandes from the University of the Algarve, who added that one of the companies holding an exploration license contacted him last year to access the studies that he had produced.
Laurinda Seabra said the group wants to gather between 30,000 to 100,000 signatures by August 2014 and plans to take the issue to Parliament and the European Commission to insist on an economic, social and environmental impact study on oil and natural gas extraction off the Algarve coastline, to promote public discussion in the Algarve municipalities and to organise a referendum.
Besides the petition, the group aims to raise awareness with various campaigning activity, starting with a series of events to be held in different council areas between 15th and 20th of April 2014. Saebra also has tried to orgainse meetings with the companies holding exploration licenses, to no avail.
Oil exploration in the Algarve already has been challenged with parliamentary questions put by MP Mendes Bota outlining the environmental risks, criticising the lack of financial compensation to the state and the lack of any public discussion.
In 2012 the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries responded to the parliamentary group of the Communist Party saying that the planned exploration will be "beyond 12 nautical miles and between 400 and 600 metres deep in an area not covered by the Natura 2000 network and outside the National Ecological Reserve "and that the scheduled quantities of extraction do not require an Environmental Impact Assessment."
