Ukraine's former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko has hinted she could run for president.
The 53-year-old was congratulated by EU foreign affairs representative Baroness Ashton and German leader Angela Merkel after her release from jail.
She had served two years of a seven-year sentence on corruption charges which her allies said were trumped-up by the country's deposed president Viktor Yanukovych.
Russian legislator Leonid Slutsky said naming her prime minister 'would be useful for stabilising' tensions.
However, she ruled that out in a message on her own website.
The presidential elections are imminent and she may be clearing the way to stand.
'It was a surprise for me when I heard that I was being proposed for the post of prime minister,' she wrote.
'Nobody agreed this with me or discussed it with me. I am grateful for the respect this shows, but I ask not to be considered for this post.'
Ms Tymoshenko had a tearful reunion with her daughter Eugenia after her release on Saturday, when she addressed crowds in Kiev from her wheelchair.
Paying tribute to the dozens of protesters killed in last week's clashes, she added: 'Heroes don't die – they are always with us and they will always be our inspiration.'
Eugenia said of her mother's return: 'Of course, there were a lot of tears, a lot of emotions. She's proud to be Ukrainian. I'm also proud to be her daughter. I just hope now Ukraine can live better and start a better life for itself, and that politicians will be more accountable to these people.'
Meanwhile, Mr Yanukovych's location remained a mystery after he was pictured apparently attempting to flee to Russia – though his aides insisted he was staying in Ukraine.
His mansion was seized and opened to the public by MPs, many of whom defected from his Party Of Regions.
Mr Yanukovych gave a TV address in which he denounced his overthrow as illegal and insisted he had 'no intention to leave the country'.
He said: 'Everything that is happening today is, to a greater degree, vandalism and banditry and a coup d'état.'
Who will take over in the new Ukraine?
VIKTOR YANUKOVYCH: Ousted as president at the weekend, the 63-year-old angered many in November when he backtracked on a proposed deal with the EU.
YULIA TYMOSHENKO: Few divide quite like the 'gas princess', twice elected as prime minister. The pro-EU politician, 53, was jailed for seven years on corruption charges in 2011 but released at the weekend.
VITALI KLITSCHKO: The former boxer, 42, has been one of Yanukovych's most high-profile opponents. He favours EU integration and has indicated he could stand in the forthcoming elections.
OLEKSANDR TURCHYNOV: A close ally of Tymoshenko, the 49-year-old has been granted temporary presidential powers. He previously acted as parliamentary speaker.
PETRO POROSHENKO: One of the country's richest men, the pro-EU politician has served under Yanukovych and Yushchenko. He is one of the leading contenders tipped to run for president.

Barcelona's Sergio Busquets, Marc Andre Ter Stegen not to blame for shock Celta Vigo defeat
Barcelona lost to Celta Vigo (4-3) after one of the worst performances that Luis Enrique's men have delivered this season. In fact, the only positive that Cules could take out of the match was Gerard Pique's current form. Although the result was certainly bad enough, it was the lack of understanding and solidarity between players that was the most worrying.
Barcelona is a team that needs their brilliant individuals to perform like a cohesive unit. However, and while their unique understanding of the game does enable the Catalans to win the majority of matches, the system also requires key individuals to perform at their best -- and I am certainly not only referring to the absent Lionel Messi or captain Andres Iniesta, but regular starters such as Sergio Busquets or Marc Andre Ter Stegen.
Here is what the players had to say after the away defeat against Celta in Vigo:
Sergio Busquets: "I'm one of the culpable parties. It's clear it wasn't one of my best games. The errors in the middle of the pitch penalised us a lot. I have to work hard and keep improving. We're not robots or machines, sometimes you mess up because you don't have control or you're not well-positioned.We need to once again be the team that's won so much these last few years."
Marc Andre Ter Stegen: "It's my fault, I'm really sorry. If I hadn't made the mistake we could have won this game. Even though this has happened, I'm not going to change. It's just happened once. It's a tough defeat. We have to pick ourselves up and move forward. We have to work hard and continue on the same path."
Kudos to both players for speaking up in front of the media and admitting their mistakes. However, pointing fingers at Busquets and Ter Stegen is neither productive nor a long-term solution.
Although it is still early days in the season and Barcelona are still only two points behind La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid, it is now time for Luis Enrique to start defining his preferred XI and grant them enough time to gel together, particularly during Messi's absence. Having only repeated his starting lineup once after 11 matches, it is clear the Asturian manager is ultimately responsible for Barca's latest defeat.
Here's hoping for a prompt reaction in the next match, against Deportivo La Coruna at the Camp Nou on Saturday 15th October -- a game you can stream to watch on your mobile, laptop or TV following this link.

Debating and Deconversion
Sisyphus: This is a guest post written by one of my good friends and a regular commenter, Schevus.
One of the biggest problems that arises when a non-theist and a theist (Christian for the purposes of this post) debate religion is the different position that each side is coming from. For an example, let's take the common situation of a non-theist presenting biblical contradictions and fallacies as an argument against Christianity.
The non-theist believes the Bible is an aggregated collection of works written by men with no divine influence. The theist usually believes the Bible is the divine work of god, or at least that the authors were divinely inspired. The non-theist will probably point out the negative aspects of the Bible – slavery, murder, homophobia, sexism, etc, as arguments that Christianity is not a religion of love, and that it can be manipulated to perpetuate evil works or does so directly. The problem with this is that since the theist believes the Bible to be the work of god, attacking the Bible is attacking god himself and the theist will become defensive. Theists do not have the objective view of the Bible that non-theists have. They are, generally, very close to and emotional about it, and are thus unable to debate parts of it on their merits alone.
Sometimes I think non-theists, especially vocal strong atheists, allow their arrogance to get the better of them, which results in them trying to deconvert religious people simply to feel accomplished in doing so. I see no gain for society from someone who is a good person that happens to be religious becoming not religious. If they are not hurting anyone, it is not your duty to "enlighten" them and free them from their "stupidity".
The reasonable argument against religion is to prevent it from being used as a rationale or guise for evil, immoral, or intolerant acts. I personally feel that debating the merits of religion itself is a poor avenue for this achievement. I think it is much more effective to work through our supposedly secular government to limit or prohibit things such as intolerance, religiously motivated violence, etc. If we cannot make the necessary changes through government, changing it so that we can should be the focus.
It's very unlikely that fundamentalist or strong theists are going to be swayed away from their religion by logic, and thus there is little justification for trying to do so, other than self-aggrandizement as I mentioned. Theists who are less firm in their beliefs are most likely to be swayed away from religion by societal acceptance, so as more people are open about their non-theism more weak theists will be drawn away with little commotion.
Note: Sisyphus has been bugging me for some time to guest post for him, and I've finally relented. More from me may be coming.
Should Prayer Instead Of Penicillin Be Criminal?
In last few years there have been a lot of instances reported in the news about children dying because their parents chose prayer in lieu of penicillin. The problem here isn't that the parents prayed, but that they did this as a substitute for real medical attention and it caused the child harm. How anyone could not find this disgusting and a travesty perplexes me to no end.
Often these children could have been easily saved by simple medical procedures and instead they lay in pain for days, slowly dying while their parents praise the great pumpkin. I find it incredibly deplorable that these parents are willing to sacrifice their children to protect their own salvation. What I consider to be even more sickening is that many states in the U.S. actually protect these zealous idiots from legal action. That in itself is a testament to how stupid our lawmakers can be when religious convictions come into play.
I'm all for religious freedoms but I think there is a marked difference between a competent adult deciding to forego medical treatment for themselves and the same adult making this kind of decision on behalf of a child. We pull children out of abusive homes all the time. How is this any different?
Some important questions to answer in this area are: at which point does a parent's actions become negligent? Should children be taken out of a home when the parent is refusing to vaccinate the child from deadly diseases or should it only be things more severe? Should the parent be able to regain custody of the child after it becomes well again? Should other children be removed from the home as well? What kinds of punishment should be dealt to these parents?
The water surrounding this issue is murky but I think we're doing children a disservice thus far.
Atheism Responsible For Environmental Destruction?
The Pope(Nazi) thinks I'm responsible for environmental destruction. That's funny, because I think he's responsible for further spreading of AIDS in Africa.
I wonder who is more likely to be right?
Video: An Atheist Asks: What Would Jesus Do?
This is a "poem" of sorts with some pretty powerful points. I really think everyone should see it, thus I've put it here.
An Atheist's View On Theistic Unconditional Love
It amazes me how often I see fellow atheists write about being shunned and ostracized by their family over their deconversion. People who claimed to love them so much seem so ready to throw them in the trash the second their opinions deviate from one another. I see this as being similar to libertarian parents throwing out their child for deciding they are a socialist.
I've really lucked out as an atheist. I haven't lost any family and only a few friends over my lack of belief. It's hard for me to imagine a loving parent being able to do such a thing over religious beliefs. My family is pretty much entirely Christian and more than anything they've just been curious about what I do believe. We've had hours of talks on things like the god of the gaps and the atrocities in the Bible. The most strained relationship I have with any family member is with my Evangelical sister-in-law, and her approach is more of a "let's just not discuss this subject" than anything else.
I've always been told that Christianity preaches unconditional love, but I rarely see that in practice when it's needed the most. Deconverting is a painful process for atheists even without the pressures added by an intolerant and bigoted family. The outside world is already going to treat this person like less of a human and the only place they seek solace is amongst family and friends.
If there is a Christian out there reading this who would do that to their child/family member: Please think about what you're doing, this sort of thing can rarely be undone. Do you really think your god would approve of abandoning a child over a philosophical disagreement? Unconditional love does not mean "as long as you're a Christian/Muslim/Hindu/Etc." it means "no matter what, without condition".
If you're willing to disown your family over religious deconversion alone then you don't deserve them.
The Safety of Pseudonymity Part 2
My primary motivating factor in being an anonymous blogger is so that my political and religious opinions do not affect potential job opportunities. There is a difference between someone who has "atheist" listed on their Facebook profile and someone who has a blog devoted to it to an employer looking over resumes. I don't want to not be hired for a job because I'm an anti-theist or for the fact that I'm politically left of Gandhi. However, I constantly struggle with defining exactly what I'm willing to disclose about myself via my pseudonym.
For instance, I was recently emailed an offer by a publishing company to receive an advance review copy (hard cover) of a new atheism-related book coming out soon. I had to turn the offer down because I would have had to disclose my real address. That really sucked to have to do. It is really flattering to be offered an opportunity like that as a small-time blogger. I've also wanted to start a local atheist group in Belleville, but that would undoubtedly cause a bridge between me and my blogger self because I thoughtlessly wrote a post about it here before thinking things through.
Another example could be the fact that I'm getting married. We had some minor bumps finding an officiant and venue for the wedding because of my differing religious position to that of my fiancé(atheist – Christian). Exactly how much information can I disclose about my wedding without giving too much?
I'm starting college soon and I've already mentioned the specific school on my Twitter(McKendree University). Now If I mention too much about an event concerning a class or classmate that is another potential avenue for trouble. However that trouble has less to do with jobs and more to do with the potential for violence. My fiancé wants me to stay anonymous because she's afraid someone would try to hurt me. I'm not highly concerned with that but it is something to consider none-the-less.
Right now, my blog's traffic is pretty dead, but a few months back I got nearly thirty-two thousand views in one month. That was a huge jump up from two thousand. Not everyone who came by agreed with what I had to say.
How much information is too much? At which point have I mentioned enough personal things that someone can figure out who I am? Should I unmask myself to avoid this? Am I even important enough to worry about being deliberately unmasked? I want to share my personal life on this blog, but much of it has to be held back.

Last Tuesday, Maxis held a special broadcast for their currently in development Sims games. Among the roster of projects featured was the upcoming SimCity currently set to launch in 2013.
Over the weekend, Maxis elected to put the SimCity portion of the live demo up on their YouTube channel for the rest of the world to enjoy. The team took a series of questions and showed off nearly 20 minutes of live, in-game footage. Dig into that above.
Part of the demo even sported the natural disasters aspect of the brand new game. At the base of this post, you'll find four screenshots of said disasters. These were not a part of the broadcast, but we figured we'd toss them into this post for some extra goodness.
Currently planned for next February, SimCity will launch from Maxis and EA for both the PC and Mac platforms. It will require Origin and an Always-On connection, two things that are personally giving me pause about picking the game up.
What about you folks? Are you looking forward to the new SimCity?

Ratings and Reviews
Invaluable Tool, Constantly Evolving
Pacifica, especially the premium version, has been invaluable to my mental health. It's got an array of tools for you to use daily, including mood trackers, meditations, health trackers, a hope board, thoughts, and goals. Each tool has a number of options to choose from, and it's likely you'll find at least one thing helpful to you and your situation. They also have guided paths, which are daily tools to help you change the way you think. In addition, they also have community boards and a chat feature, which supremely help to know you're not alone and to be able to read what other people found helpful. Everything put together is a great resource for treating anxiety and depression. The free version is useful in itself, but I fell in love with the "guided paths" and wanted more out of it. The price of the app does not compare to the benefits I've received through consistent use of the app. One of the best parts is the involvement of one of the creators. He's always on the boards addressing issues people are having with the app, and they do their best to keep everyone informed on what's to come. They make updates and keep the app fresh. You can tell they care about the work they're doing, and I'm happy to be a Pacifica user. Highly recommend you give the app a try if you experience anxiety or depression.
Great app!
I want to buy the lifetime membership so badly because it's clearly the better option and I know I will be using this app for much longer than a year or two but I don't have the funds so for now I just use the monthly subscription but the way this app is intended and meant to be used is genius. clearly thought out,detail was put into the ability to analyze your thought process. Which is great for me because I am a huge over thinker and being able to detail out and have things able to be re-framed and restructured really helps me perceive all of the angles of a perceived problem. The chat room could use a little updating because there's an incredible amount of lag but I would love to see them add in additional features as well. like being able to have a temporary friends list (like 3 keep it small) people that you meet through the chat rooms could be added on there and they could be your "mentor" for a certain amount of time. That way people don't start amassing huge friend lists like people do on Facebook. Or there needs to be a mentor bubble (I call the home screen the bubble screen) that allows you to directly message someone if you're having an anxiety attack and need help faster than what the chat rooms can provide.
Life changing
This app I have had for a year or more and just now really began to use it. I told my counselor about it which he told several clients about and they have used and really been very impressed with. I am so glad I have been able to assist others in recovery just by telling them about this app. Pacifica, you guys are amazing and have really changed my life. I suffer from several mental health issues and have had a brain injury when I broke my back. It is so important for us to live in this moment and not dwell on the past or future. I have learned so much about the human brain it's unbelievable. You get better at what u practice. Your brain will improve in so many aspects. Please use this app and change the way u live.
Response to the reply from the developers!! (Which is awesome btw) I will definitely work with him to get the tool set up for him to use. He will be extremely thrilled about the tool for him to connect with us through this app. I absolutely love it and can't really put in to words how much this app has changed my life. For the better of course. Completely different view on life and the way I react towards situations of all kind. Thanks so much! I will post again when we get it set up.
Developer Response ,
Thank you so much for the kind words. If your counselor is interested, we have a tool specially designed to help mental health professionals work with their clients in Pacifica. Have them check out thinkpacifica.com/clinicians for more info.

Recycling has grown to be ingrained into our society. Most people think about recycling their aluminum cans and old magazines, and plenty of groups have followed recycling packages and guidelines to make certain that as many human beings absorb the cause as possible. You can get more info on skip bin hire perth via https://www.northsideskipbins.com.au/.
Even though you could not be able to change the entire international, you may do your component. When you consider that absolutely everyone is commonly accountable for roughly 1.5 lots of waste every 12 months, you can begin recycling.
It is able to be finished very effortlessly by using contacting a waste recycling agency. The waste recycling company will are available and empty your recyclable waste fabric into their vans from the bins that are provided for you. The material is then taken to a fabric restoration facility wherein about 28 lots of waste is processed every hour. This works out to be about 438 lots every day.

Just about everything which you throw away for your bin each week is recyclable material. Basically, in case you take out 4 bags of garbage every week, best one of those bags might be natural waste that is supposed for the landfill, because the relaxation can be recycled.

Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on Education Charlie McConalogue has said that the proposed changes to small school teacher numbers don't go far enough. While the changes the Education Minister announced today are a small improvement, nothing less than a full reversal of the damaging measures imposed by former Minister Quinn are required.
Deputy McConalogue commented, "The changes announced by Minister Jan O'Sullivan will not lead to any major improvements for many small schools, as the emphasis is on retaining, rather than gaining teachers. In fact, the measures could result in a situation whereby schools which are growing could end up with fewer teachers than schools which are losing students.
"Despite these new retention thresholds, schools which have increased their student numbers from 52 to 55 will still not be entitled to a third teacher, while a school who's pupil numbers have dropped from 56 to 53 will retain theirs. This is unfair and unequitable and should be reviewed. In this instance both schools should be entitled to a third teacher. Similarly a school that has gone from 82 to 85 pupils this year will not be allocated a fourth teacher whereas a school that has seen a drop from 86 to 83 students will retain its four teachers.
"While this new policy acknowledges the scale of the cuts that small schools have been subjected to, it is more about optics than reflecting the reality on the ground. Population increases have resulted in a rise in enrolment figures and it is incumbent on the Minister to ensure that schools are equipped to cater for these growing pupil numbers.
"The plans the government announced in Budget 2012 have been a cause of concern and, indeed, distress in many local communities, especially in rural Ireland. Small schools play a central role in many areas, especially those with dispersed populations, and the Government's actions over the past three years has almost dismantled those communities.
"My party and I have been consistent in our call to restore what was lost at the earliest opportunity. Education was at the heart of Fianna Fáil's pre-Budget submission, in which we proposed additional resources at primary level to reverse the harsh cuts brought in by this Government, as well as a reduction in the pupil teacher ratio.
"Even with today's announcement the fact remains that a 2-teacher school would need to enrol 36 extra pupils in order to secure and third teacher, while a 3 teacher school would need an additional 30 students to gain a fourth teacher. This is a completely unfeasible proposal for the majority of small schools, which will struggle to meet those targets and will be penalised as a result. Minister O'Sullivan must commit to increasing teacher numbers in line with the growing class sizes, rather than on retaining and maintaining the status quo".

Before I became a parent last year, I would always hear about all these studies that showed how expensive raising a child was and I would simply not pay any attention to them. However, since becoming a parent, I pay a little more attention to the studies. Last month the USDA came out with their annual report and found that the average child born in 2011 will cost approximately $300,000 from birth until the age of 18.
Personally, that number seems a little high to me. Since we are a little over one year into being parents, I'll being doing a podcast this week on the financial impact of having a child on our family. What gets me is that I hear stories all the time from people who say they are not having children because of the high cost but please, don't let these reports scare you into not having children. If you want to have children, have children. Don't be scared away by some report.
But I want to know from you parents: What do you think about these surveys? Do you spend a $1,000 a month on average on your child? What are some things you did or are doing to cut down on the costs of raising a family? What financial advice would you give to a new parent wanting to start a family?

Jainism in Uttar Pradesh
The Jain literature refers to Kashi or Varanasi as a Jain Tirtha (Holy Place), as four of the Jain Tirthankara's were born in Varanasi. According to Jain tradition, Varanasi is the birthplace of Sri Suparshavanath, Sri Chandraprabhu, Sri Sreyansnath and Parshavanath -- the 7th, 8th, 11th, and 23rd Jain Tirthankaras.
Sri Suparshavanath
Sri Suparshavanath was born in "Bhadaini" which is situated on the banks of River Ganges in Varanasi. Also known as "Jain Ghat" this place is about 1.5 km away from Bhelupura. Sri Suparshavanath was the 7th Jain Tīrthankara who was born to King Pratistha and Queen Prithvi at Varanasi on the 12th Jestha Shukla in the Ikshvaku clan. This makes the "Bhadaini" very sacred not just because Sri Suparshavanath was born here, but also because he took Diksha and was enlightened with true knowledge here. It is also said that he attained moksha at Sikharji on the sixth day of the dark half (Krishna Paksha) of the Hindi month of 'Phalguna'. At present, there is a white colored idol placed and worshiped by the believers of Shwetambar sect. On the other hand, a black idol is placed by the believers of Digambar sect. The Dharamshalas of Shwetambars and Digambars is also present in this area.
Sri Chandraprabhu
Sri Chandraprabhu the 8th Jain Tirthankara was born in Chandrapuri, a town which is located on the banks of River Ganges, about 20 km away from Varanasi. Sri Chandraprabhu was born to King Mahasena and Queen Lakshmana Devi of the Ikshvaku dynasty. According to Jain texts, his birth-date was the 12th day of the 'Paush' Krishna month of the Indian calendar. Chandrapuri has a white idol which is worshiped by a majority of the Shwetambars. Lord Chandraprabhu took Jain Diksha (initiation) and got the light of true knowledge at this place. He is said to have become a Siddha (a liberated soul).
Sri Shreyansnath
Sri Sreyansnath the 11th Tirthankara of Jain Religion was born at Singhpuri, which is near Sarnath in Ikshvaku Dynasty. According to Jain beliefs, it is said, he became a Siddha, a liberated soul which has destroyed all of its karma.Lord Sreyansnath was born to King Vishnu and Queen Vishnudri Devi of Ikshvaku Dynasty. His birth date was the twelfth day of the 'Falgun' Krishna month of the Indian calendar.
Sri Parshavanath
Sri Parshavnath the 23rd Tirthankara of Jain religion was born in Bhelupura. He is the earliest Jain Tirthankara who is generally acknowledged as a historical figure. Bhelupura has a white and a black idol. Sri Parshavanath is credited with starting the tradition of "four fold restraints" for monks – don't kill, don't steal, don't lie and don't own property.

As Egypt struggles its way through the worst political crisis after revolution a retrospective view to the principles of Muslim Brotherhood and events that took place since the fall of Mubarak can explain a lot of what is taking place there now.
Last year after presidential elections we met some liberal Egyptian activists who took part in 2011 revolution and we were shocked to know they voted for Morsi, preferring a representative of a religious party to a liberal statesman. (more…)

Well that time has come.
Writing a best-of list from 2016 two months into 2017 doesn't make much sense, and plus my heart just isn't it anymore.
These were always meant to be one-offs, impromptu musings dictated more by the availability of time than the availability of inspiration. Some were fun and some were disposable, neither group was edited much.
And so dear, invisible, silent, anonymous, non-existent readers, I won't bore you with anything that looks or feels anything like an essay from here on out. I'll finish out the next 8 songs with some first drafts or thoughts from other enterprises, and then a quick review. The flotsam and jetsam may be fun, it may just be a placeholder for me for another time.
Either way, I think the time spent away from this for another year will do us all good. After all no one–especially me–wants a blog.
Of all the commercial hits added to this year's list, this one deserves its place the most. It's a break-up album that flies under the radar as something more, or something less, than love and loss. It puts up a false facade of acoustic rock in light of Radiohead's most immediate releases prior, but at its core are some subtle sonic powers that reveal new dimensions at every listen. And the video (below) is as creepy as it is nostalgic for certain viewers of 1970s animation.

Juntos Marketing – our marketing services
Our marketing services include market research and strategy, branding and brochures, website development and social media setup.
Market Research and Strategy
Market Research
Whether you are exploring options to expand your offering, seeking a better understanding of your clients, or considering how well your product or service meets their needs, research provides extremely useful insights that always add value to an organisation. We undertake both qualitative research, including 1:1 interviews and focus groups, and quantitative research, be that via online or telephone-based surveys.
Marketing Strategy
A Marketing Strategy is your blueprint for all marketing activity going forward. It defines your brand, your target market and your approach to the market, and ensures consistent and effective marketing.
It is an essential framework to ensure all marketing efforts consistently showcase your offering, reflect your position in the market and use your marketing funds for strong returns on investment
Marketing Plans
A Marketing Plan is your roadmap to achieve (and exceed) the marketing objectives set out in your marketing strategy. It is a detailed plan, including a calendar, for all your marketing activities, typically for the next 12 months.
We take a collaborative approach to selecting the correct marketing mix, given your target market, marketing objectives and budget. We may recommend traditional marketing, online marketing or a range of both.
Branding, Brochures and Communication Materials
Your brand identity conveys your brand's personality and sometimes what you do – at a glance. It should look neat and professional, and it should be something you feel proud to showcase. It should be in a practical shape that works well on all your marketing materials. You need your logo in multiple formats so you can use it in print or on the web.
Brochures and communication materials
Well-designed marketing materials look professional, ensure you capture attention and engage potential clients, be that in printed or web based materials. We can provide graphic design services to develop branding, business cards and letterhead, presentation templates, flyers or brochures, social media tiles, websites and advertisements.
Professional printed materials often support business development or a particular campaign. We design, write the copy, print and project manage the development of your professional materials, from flyers to corporate brochures and booklets.
Website Development and Management Services
Our unique and successful approach to website development and management includes more than just developing a template and home page.
We work with all our clients to plan, consider and develop the following:
- Good, clear navigation so the site is easy and intuitive for users
- Appealing branded design, cleverly built to ensure the site looks professional and loads & displays well
- Useful & interesting (relevant) content, so your site is easy to read and appropriate for your business
- SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) – all aspects developed to ensure you rank highly on organic searches (and are easily found)
- A user-friendly content management system ), so you can update your site easily and as often as you want
Many of our clients choose for us to update the content on their websites or social platforms on a regular basis.
Marketing Campaigns and Advertising
For clients wishing to grow their presence and awareness, we can develop print or digital campaigns that meet a particular business need, build on your other marketing efforts and extend your reach.
Social Media Setup and Management
Getting your social media set up right involves good planning, so you choose social media channels that are right for your business and so you target the right people. The other critical element is to stick at it – something that is very difficult without a plan and a calendar.
We help you plan your social media strategy, select the right channels to reach your targets, guide you in the appropriate tone, language and content to use, and help you develop an easy to follow social media calendar. For many of our clients, we also undertake some or all of the day to day management of their social media sites.
Well-written content is much more engaging for readers. Your content must be easy to read and capture people's attention, now more than ever. We can help edit and proof read your copy or develop the content based on your brief.
Marketing Training
We facilitate specialist marketing training which taps into own marketing experience and is tailored to individual business needs. We run training sessions for government departments, corporations, groups of businesses and universities.
We also facilitate internal workshops for clients wishing to develop strong strategic marketing plans, gain strategic consensus around important business challenges and explore new business options.
Photography & Video Production
Professional photography and video production are essential components for many organisations who wish to showcase their team and their offering in a way that truly reflects their expertise and capabilities.
We work with clients to develop photography and video for use on websites, social media, printed materials, specialist publications and organisational announcements.

I've stopped and started blogs before – blogs about my life, blogs about weight loss, sewing, quilting, photography, etc etc etc. And the thing is, none of them ever really feel like me. Do you know what I mean? I am not a focused individual. My life isn't just photography, or weight loss, or sewing … all of this is evidenced by my lack of blogging. And by keeping multiple blogs about a variety of things (or by trying to combine them into one blog that already exists) I feel split. There's not cohesive flow between all those different blogs … and let's be honest. Those blogs are all about my life, or different aspects of my life, which is not compartmentalized, or segregated, or otherwise split into pieces. I am all of those things, and more. I have a pretty wide span of things that interest me, so why do I keep trying to segment my life into multiple blogs?
The reason why I chose the name for this blog is because one of my favorite movies is Under the Tuscan Sun. I really related to the main character, Frances, after my divorce. One line in the movie, in particular, struck me as good advice – live your life in many directions. And that's what I've always done – I've always lived in many directions, but I never thought of it that way. When I embraced that sentiment, my life changed for the better. I returned to school and got my Business Administration degree with a concentration in Project Management. I met the love of life when I wasn't even looking for him (who knew he would end up living just next door to me?!). And my career took off. I found fulfillment and love and happiness when I was sure all of that was more or less gone from my life. I embraced the chaos that is my life, and found bliss.
But the one thing I've not quite managed yet is to stop worrying about pleasing others and to just please myself. That doesn't mean I don't care what my husband or children think, because I almost always worry about that. No, I am specifically talking about my blogging life. I know that photographers don't necessarily want to read about home decorating, and that people without children don't give a darn about my almost grown teens. But you know, keywords and categories are a wonderful thing, and if you want to follow my blog, I suppose you'll learn how to use them. Interested in photography? There will be a category for that. Want to know what recipe I recently tried that I loved? There's a category for that too. Can't wait to hear the next hilarious thing that comes out of my teens' mouths? Yeah, there will likely be a category that one as well. Read what you like, don't read what you don't like. It's a little like grocery shopping – you don't want cereal? Don't go down the cereal aisle!
My name is Jill, and I am 40-something. I have a husband named Chris who is 12 years younger than me. I have a daughter who's 21, married and has a baby (yep, I'm a grandmother; I can't believe it either!) and a son who's 20, and very happily single. And my favorite dog in the whole world – Dean, a 6 year old Schnauzer who has more personality than most people I meet. 😉
I do a little sewing, a little quilting, a little photography. And a whole lot of other stuff as well. So grab a cup of coffee or your favorite beverage and hang out a little while!
Y'all come back now, ya hear?

RJ Cortel's Hosted PBX Solutions afford businesses the opportunity to reduce the cost of their communication system, whilst integrating a much more effective system. We streamline your communication requirements through our one-stop-shop platform that gives you access to an abundance of unique features, enhancing your overall communication strategy.
What is a Hosted PBX System?
PBX (Private Branch Exchange) is a business telephone system that comprises multiple features in one location. Long before the advent of cloud technology, PBX Systems were expensive to use, since they required hardware and software installation and maintenance at the premise. However, today, with technological advancements, cloud datacenters take the burden off your shoulders and present you with a unique opportunity; the opportunity to pay only for the services that use, without investing in hardware, software, maintenance or support staff.
Why Choose RJ Cortel's Hosted PBX Solutions?
RJ Cortel offers a telephone system that has is embedded in our cloud datacenter, which means that all your data is stored in our cloud storage and the software and hardware installation and maintenance is our headache, not yours. You don't pay for what you don't use, and can integrate a comprehensive communication system at a fraction of the cost of what you would have had to spend in the past!
What are the Benefits of Using RJ Cortel's Hosted PBX Solutions?
Here at RJ Cortel we have carefully studied market trends in order to introduce the features, flexibility and communication flow that is required in a modern business environment.

Packages that Deliver What YOU Need:
First and the foremost, no other service provider offers the level of customizable plans that we provide. This means most Hosted PBX solutions need you to pay for features and functionality that you just don't need. At RJ Cortel, we provide you with solutions that are based on your business requirements. In other words, we don't have packages, rather you create your package. Once you sign up, you get a long list of features that you can choose from. Select the features you want and create your package. You don't pay for anything that you don't use!
Scalable and Flexible:
Our packages can be upgraded and downgraded anytime you want. We understand that businesses grow exponentially and they need to cope up with their everyday, growing communication needs. Therefore, we offer you the opportunity to upgrade your package anytime you want without any hidden charges.
Multiple Users, Locations and Devices Supported:
With our packages, you have the opportunity to use one number for multiple locations. This is particularly beneficial for businesses with multiple offices. By paying for just one package you can use the same number in multiple locations.
Moreover, our system supports multiple Operation Systems, such as Windows, iOS, Mac, Android and Linux. Any device can be used to log into our system and as a communication conduit.
You can add as many users you want, and, as an administrator manage the flow of communication. You can manage users, assign them to roles and much more!
Call Management and Monitoring:
Every business owner wants to keep a check on their customer service and sales teams. With our platform, you can easily monitor the calls being taken by your staff members. You can monitor, listen and record the calls. In addition, the calls are kept in our cloud datacenter, and so are secure and accessible remotely from any internet enabled device.
Disaster Recovery:
In case of a disaster at your location, your data is not lost. Since your data is stored in our cloud datacenter, you can access it from anywhere in the world, anytime. We can also route your calls to any number that you provide; if you have to change business location you will not lose your business!

The Growden Report
Scott Higginbotham can inspire mongrel
Greg Growden

Few understood rugby better than Fred Allen.
This New Zealand icon was respected as the "immaculate player", became the All Blacks' most successful coach, and was known worldwide as 'The Needle' for his ability to inspire, provoke his players. Shortly before his death two years ago, he witnessed another All Blacks shellacking of the Wallabies at Eden Park. After the Test wipeout, Allen sidled up to then Australian Rugby Union chief executive John O'Neill and said: "What your team needs is at least three Brad Thorns."
O'Neill groaned. Three Brad Thorns? The Wallabies didn't have one who even came close to faintly resembling that extraordinary All Blacks forward.
O'Neill, then working in tandem with Robbie Deans, knew exactly what Allen meant. The Wallabies desperately required forwards who boasted an exceptional skill set, could win lineouts, dominate breakdowns, be a steel rod at scrum-time, and most importantly had presence: magic and might matched with menace; basically Supermen who always stood their ground.
Deans knew it as well. He had been involved with Brad Thorn at the Crusaders and knew what a difference the forward had made when converting successfully from rugby league to union, back again, and back again once more to justify claims to be rugby's greatest code hopper.
A few years later, nothing much has changed. Labelled by the New Zealand press as "powder puffs", the Wallabies were laughed out of Auckland last weekend after the pack had been exposed as inadequate and limp.

The Wallabies had headed across the Tasman with chests out. They had been bluffed by a few good scrums in Sydney and convinced themselves they were actually something. They took too much out of the ANZ Stadium draw, which should have been a victory except for brain-dead decisions. Some within the Australian team thought they had advanced more than they actually had; lacking any real threat in their pack, they were exposed at Eden Park.
The indecision in the Wallabies' backline and uncertainty over who should be at Nos.9, 10 and 12 is a serious concern. But the crux of the Australian rugby problem remains up front, and it will not change until the Wallabies can find forwards who are downright mean.
Look at the Waratahs this season as a prime example of how a team can be transformed through the injection of bullying forwards. The recruitment of Jacques Potgieter, a Brad Thorn-like character, from South Africa worked brilliantly for the Waratahs, as his aggression, extraordinary work-rate, and ignorance of personal safety transformed the pack into a frightening beast. His charges into the breakdown, at the opposition defensive line, and at anything that veered into his way ensured so much front-foot ball for their attack; the Waratahs' backline blossomed because of what happened up front.
Potgieter's work with Will Skelton, an enormous forward with enormous potential, was exceptional; if only Potgieter had an Australian grandmother and hadn't played three Tests for South Africa.
Greg Cornelsen? Yes, please © Getty Images
Australia have always performed when they had a mixture of "beauty and the beast" in the pack.
Not surprisingly the Bledisloe Cup made a rare public appearance at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 1979, when the Wallabies boasted the likes of Mark Loane, Greg Cornelsen and Tony Shaw to overhaul the All Blacks.
Simon Poidevin, Steve Williams, Tom Lawton, Andy McIntyre, Steve Tuynman, Topo Rodriguez, David Codey, Chris Roche and Steve Cutler provided a shield that made Grand Slam success so much easier five years later.
David Campese then got the kudos in the 1991 Rugby World Cup triumph, but the work upfront from John Eales, Poidevin, Willie Ofahengaue, Troy Coker, Jeff Miller, Rod McCall, Ewen McKenzie, Tony Daly and Phil Kearns was every bit as important. The repeat World Cup victory in 1999 heavily involved Eales, David Giffin, Toutai Kefu, Michael Foley, David Wilson, Andrew Blades, Matt Cockbain, Richard Harry, with Owen Finegan and Jeremy Paul waiting on the bench.
Many of those names in their prime would be handy right now, because similar forward resolve is required. The Springboks have shown during the Rugby Championship that they are an excellent mauling team, while Argentina are the scrummaging masters. Each could easily bulldoze the Wallabies.
Tough forwards are necessary, and as we wait for a Brad Thorn to appear from somewhere a reasonable start would involve giving Scott Higginbotham a go at No.8. At least he is willing to stand his ground, and he won't disappear when the Springboks and Pumas come a hunting. And Skelton needs to be persevered with.
As the late Wallabies coach Bob Templeton, whom McKenzie in his playing days knew so well, would often say: 'This is the time when… WE WANT MEN NOT BOYS!"

Yes, the 3rd book did live up the the expectation, with a very (for me) unexpected twist. It ties into themes suggested in SciFi from decades ago but with a modern-day view. And the ending is not the usual boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl, boy-gets-girl sequence (too bad!)...or is it? Young or old, new reader or well-read, read the series. You'll enjoy it.

The huge Godzilla head that suddenly appeared in Kabuki-cho, Shinjuku, was established to convey the charm of the global character Godzilla when the Shinjuku Toho Building started business in April 2015. The Godzilla head placed in the outdoor terrace of the eighth floor is a life size model with a height of 12 meters. It is from the movie "Godzilla VS Mothra" filmed in 1992, which is a film in the Godzilla series. Toho Eizo Bijutsu, the producer of the movie, made this model that weighs 80 tons with special material reinforced with fiberglass. You can see it from behind the building from Yasukuni Street, which makes you feel like a real life Godzilla has appeared in Shinjuku.If you use the hotel or cafe in the building, you will be able to see the model up close from the terrace. The Shinjuku Toho Building is a five-minute walk from JR Shinjuku Station East exit, or a three-minute walk from Seibu-Shinjuku Station.

Saturday P and C/G finally met, after me talking to both of them about the other for a year! C/G also brought along his friend Z, whom I had been hearing about for a year but never met; therefore, lunch was a must-needed introduction.
Anyways, for our rendezvous we were looking for a good, reasonably priced eatery in TST. After some searching, we decided on Good Satay, which I had seen many times on OpenRice with its 300+ smiley faces, but never visited. It's kind of tucked away in a mall called the Houston Centre; I think the closest MTR exit is East TST P2.
For the four of us, we ordered the mee goreng (fried noodles), hainan chicken rice (half chicken), beef bagus (sauteed beef) and a beef brisket curry. We also got two orders of mixed satay (one order has six skewers; your choice of beef, chicken, or pork). The favorites were definitely the mee goreng and chicken rice! The latter was really close to what I've eaten in Singapore (though not quite on the level of the Maxwell Hawker Centre, but still quite good); I wish there was a little more ginger seasoning with the chicken, but overall, very yummy. The mee goreng was also savory. Highly recommended. The brisket curry had some really soft potato pieces in it that made me smack my lips in happiness. I didn't think the meat was anything to write home about, though. My least favorite was the beef bagus, due to a really overpowering taste – prawn sauce, maybe? In any case, I'll probably give it a pass next time. The eponymous satay was nice, too, with substantial skewers of meat and good peanut sauce.
We came for lunch so there was no difficulty getting a seat. Z said she came for dinner before and there was a long line of people waiting outside. Totally worth it, but try to book if you go in the evenings!

More than a Masque
The sun was painting the skies in shades of rose and gold as I stepped out into what had once been the courtyard of my small home in Fell's Run. Now it was a garden of night-blooming flowers, heavy oak trees, and wild herbs grown from the seeds I had scattered on rainy days. That there was any order to the garden's chaos was a miracle of happenstance, but I liked it that way. I had a comfortable, if threadbare cotton shift on, and I was barefoot as I padded down onto the cooling earth. Karone Bjornsen followed me out, watching as I knelt in a patch of Bugloss with an ancient pair of clippers to prune a few petals for my potions.
"Was it necessary to invite the fledgling in?" The Nord assassin groused, but when I looked up she was smiling a secret smile at me that said she knew more about my actions than I sometimes did. I sucked absent-mindedly on the inside of my lower lip for a moment as I considered the question. Snip-schnick! I found a sprig of bugloss with holes in the leaves and half-eaten stems where insects had gotten to it. I tossed that sprig away to nurture the earth.
"In a word, yes." Karone frowned at me in the growing gloom. She stepped out of the circle of light cast by the torch set above the stoop, and found one of the boulders I had placed strategically for sitting. "…If he weren't joining the same mercenaries we have, I might not have sought him out—but he has. I won't have his silly city practices getting us found out. He's not old enough to know yet what bad things can happen to him if his feeding practices begin to raise questions." I said finally as I found another half-eaten sprig and clipped it away from the whole. Karone snorted from where she sat—peeling an apple she had brought out with her to eat.
"And so you agreed to teach him the secrets of alchemy?" Karone teased and I snorted, but the smile making my cheeks dimple was genuine. I stood up and moved into a patch of columbine. This plant took care of itself, and I only needed to snip a few buds; all of which were added to a small pouch where it rested against my hip.
"Far be it for me to refuse to teach someone who genuinely seeks to learn, Karone. How have you enjoyed that book on basic enchanting principles, by the way?" I asked pointedly, though the lightness to my tone softened the barb. Karone chuckled and shrugged as she watched me wander about the yard from plant to plant. She made room as I came to tuck myself beside her on the boulder. It should not have fit us both, but I was small in death as I had been in life. Of course, if I was small, Karone was a giant compared to me. Tall with cropped hair the color of chocolate, and eyes the color of a bright blue winter sky. She saw as well in darkness as me, and that was another reason we got along well enough to be lovers.
"Stuffy mystical sciences. The book is boring and gives me a headache. …Do you really have to memorize all those phrases?" She asked, and I laughed a surprised sound that echoed off the stone walls around us. I turned enough that I could breathe along her neck, taking in her scent as I did. She might have complained about the rose scented soaps I bought, but it did not seem to stop her using them.
"It isn't possible to memorize everything," I said slowly, "no. Your tone and inflection is more important. And the power you gather. If you have no sense of Magicka behind your words, then you won't be able to complete the enchantment. You can always have a book at hand from which to cheat, but when you say the words, you have to mean them."
"I see…" Karone was thoughtful, "you could have simply offered to teach him at the Fort. I still don't see why you had to let him stay here. His fate isn't tied to yours." She deftly changed the topic from herself, back to her original question and I sighed.
"Isn't it? I was born during the Second Era, in the year 480, Karone. It was a relatively boring time, and I was the daughter of horse thieves. We called ourselves a clan, but only because what one of us stole, the others might have to bear up in stocks if not worse. I did not make Jorna Shadestep—I would not have, but it does not absolve me of the knowledge that his inexperience could be my downfall too if he missteps. Think you, if he commits a crime that our employers discover, do you think they won't be looking at us all?" I asked the logical question first so that I could try to assemble the deeper answer that I knew Karone wanted.
"Horse thieves? You're rather well-spoken for a rover," Karone said, her tone questioning me gently as we peered up into a sky that was now star strewn. Secunda and Masser were dark tonight, and I shrugged in the thick shadows enveloping us. They wrapped the two of us in a comfortable blanket, and I snorted.
"I've had the last eighty or so years to perfect myself, Karone. I did not spend all my time on roads swindling, or robbing the unwary. Actually, I didn't spend any time doing that even when I was with the clan." I said finally, my brow furrowing as I dredged up dusty memories that I had been trying unsuccessfully to consign to Oblivion for years.
"You didn't?" Now I could hear it. Karone was really curious, and I squirmed as if I had an uncomfortable itch. I did, and it was a soft spot for my human lover.
"No. By the time I was born, Silanus had existed as a close knit clan for several decades. My mother was the head mender and wise woman, and I do believe she expected me to follow in her footsteps. Hers was a wisdom stepped in dark magic and curses—sophistry to appease an angry husband, and soon followed by vengeance for the equally angry wife. I made a good start at following her rather arbitrary example, but we had the occasional visitor who would stay for a night or two on our hospitality. There was a group from the Mages Guild that stopped to take dinner with us one evening, and I plagued the mages so with questions that their leader asked my father's leave to take me on as an apprentice." I paused here, remembering that someone living would have needed to take a breath—I needed only to wet my lips so I'd not lose my voice. I smiled at the distant memory nonetheless, and Karone's chuckle warmed me a little.
"I assume he allowed it?"
"Oh yes. Mother disowned me though, and would've disowned father—but head of the clan. That's rather hard to do without just leaving yourself. If she'd done that, who would've been there to help orchestrate the curses that both bound us and fractured us as a people?" Bitterness sat on my tongue as sudden as my joy had dispersed, and I squeezed the hand suddenly wrapped around my upper arm. Karone rested her chin on the top of my head, and I tucked myself more tightly against her warmth.
"You asked why I took Jorna in…you never asked why I turned back in Sentinel." I said slowly, referencing recent events that had tripped me and one of Karone's associates up on a visit back to the desert city.
"…You give new meaning to the term, "thick as thieves", Viatryx. I think I understand why you took Jorna in. …You feel obligated to oversee and guide him, even offer your protection—such as it is. I didn't ask about Sentinel, because I have known that answer for some time now. It's the same one that drove you to join up with a mercenary company in Bangkorai."
"…Humanity…yours is slipping, and you are trying to hold onto what remains. Even while accepting and admitting you are a monster—only you aren't as monstrous as you pretend. I know you followed the Mages Guild for at least a few years before your death as a healer. … I can do research too, you know. Your reaction to the events in Sentinel was only natural, and it proves something…" Karone said as I shifted so I could face her, pressing my forehead against hers. The hunger clenching my gut had nothing to do with feeding, and everything to do with needing to hear her words. Words that I knew I would take in and wrap my psyche in before I left for the night.
"And what does it prove?" I demanded as she kissed my lips softly, smiling against my mouth as she sensed the impatience beginning to make my body taunt.
"It proves that your humanity is more than a mere masque…"

One of the drivers of human development is the need to be able to perform tasks independent of anyone else. This becomes very evident when observing a group of pre-schoolers of varying ages. Babies who can sit up in a high chair and hold a spoon will try repeatedly to feed themselves, depositing food over their faces, in their hair and all over the chair tray. Slightly older toddlers spend hours in play, resisting any attempt by an adult to show them how something is done because they want to do it themselves.
Holding on to Independence
These are the first steps on the road to independence, and once we have it as older children and later into adulthood, we don't want to lose it. For some of us unfortunately, illness or accident can severely limit our degree of independence during our youth. For most of us, this does not happen until we are quite elderly, and even though we know it is part of ageing, we still resist it.
If we haven't made any psychological adjustments towards acceptance, the loss of mobility and independence can be a very bitter pill to swallow. Having to hand in your driver licence after a lifetime of freedom on the roads, for example, can diminish the self confidence of otherwise healthy seniors almost overnight. Anger, anxiety and depression can quickly follow.
From the Simple to the Sophisticated—Helpful Gadgets
Thankfully, we are able to assist with helpful mobility aids that restore confidence and place the ability to make their own decisions back in the hands of anyone who needs just a little help to do everyday things. From something as simple as a reacher that assists in getting to hard to reach items to the latest in mobility scooters, BM Healthcare has a range of equipment designed to assist people to remain independent as long as possible.
We have mobility products to suit almost every phase of daily activity. Simple kitchen products like jar openers, kettle pourers, bendable cutlery and plastic plate guards allow people to prepare their own meals and feed themselves without assistance. In the bathroom are shower stools and bath seats for safety, and ingenious gadgets like the toe washer and foot brush or the tube squeezer to make life easier.
Full Range of Mobility Equipment for Every Application
Walking aids such as rollators, walking frames, crutches and walking canes are designed to keep people moving around so they can still shop, socialise and get out and about without a lot of assistance. From the simple to the complex, we have mobility equipment to suit every application. It's amazing how quickly people regain their usual social outlook when they have some tools to help them keep their sense of independence.

Each Saturday, I will feature either something I'm currently stitching, something I've just finished stitching, or something I've just designed. I hope you'll all join me in displaying some of your own work and leaving a link to your post in the comments below.
I'm a member of a couple of Facebook groups who exchange cross stitched ATCs each month on specific themes, but who also send each other little birthday ATCs. There are so many members there now I knew I'd never be able to stitch a birthday ATC for every member's birthday, or I'd permanently be stitching ATCs and never get anything else done at all. The answer, I decided, was to choose one or two months each year and then rotate the months till I'd covered everyone.
I decided that June would be a good month to start, so here are all the ATCs I sent out for people's birthdays during this month:
With all those out the way, I can now choose another month. I think if I go with December, it will give me enough time to stitch the mall, and then I can move on to May and November next year…
