My New Digital Experience is a cycle of workshops, during which participants will be able to learn and personally test how solutions which shape new trends in the so-called Digital World of User Experiences work.
The program is aimed at managers of telecommunication companies, video game console providers, and all those who would like to learn about and understand new models of consumer behavior created by the leaders of the Digital World.
Note: Each of the three seminars that make up the My New Digital Experience series, represent a complete and independent program, and may be attended separately.
During this seminar you will learn about the world market leader of video streaming strategy, and will understand what the positive consumer experience of Netflix users is about.
Manufacturers of video game consoles have realized, that the increasing popularity of their products in combination with the rapidly growing availability of high-speed Internet provide them with a unique opportunity to become the suppliers of home entertainment centers. This trend enables players like Microsoft or Sony to appear in service markets like telecommunication or cable TV, as well as TV series producers or game and film producers.
By participating in this seminar you will understand:
During the last couple of months there has been a wide discussion about what type of information can, and should be collected about Internet users, and what personal information we as users have the right to have deleted. By participating in this seminar you will learn how to knowingly control what information on your subject can be found on the Internet, and what information you may collect about your present and future customers.
In particular, you will learn about:
In XXI century, successful companies often realize that it's not the capital, work or knowledge that influences market decisions, but a limited amount of time available to analyze products or events. Ability to win and keep the attention of current and potential clients has become a key element in the success of every modern company.
We have prepared two trainings / seminars on this topic:
Both seminars are aimed at managers in sales, marketing or customer support. Thanks to:
the attendees evaluate our seminars as very valuable experience.
During this seminar you will be able to learn:
This seminar is based on a virtual world of games that lets the attendees better understand the concept of gamification. During the seminar we present the basic concepts of behavioral psychology, which lead HBR to announce gamification as one of the key trends for 2013.
Getting to know the practical applications of these mechanisms in sales, marketing, customer support and team building give the attendees an instant ability to use these new skills in business tasks, as well as analyzing their competition in terms of gamification.
Understanding how the animal instinct influences the behavior of our clients, employees, shareholders and managers has become a crucial part in an effective company management during the times of change, uncertainty and crisis. Management experts spend a lot of effort to reach the top of "successful management of XXI century", only to find the behavioral psychologists were already there.
In this series we offer two seminars:
This seminar is aimed at project or team leaders.
Both seminars were inspired by Jacek Santorski and are part of the Academy of Psychology of Leadership, a post-MBA program at Warsaw University of Technology Business School.
Attendees analyse animal behavior to learn how to be an effective, natural leader. They discover atavisms driving humans, who are on various positions in different organizations. Seminar goals:
Attendees learn about atavisms that influence the hierarchy formation in the company, start the fight for power and lead to its balance inside the organization, leading to long-lasting success on the market. During the seminar, the following concepts are discussed:
During the seminar the discussed topics are illustrated using case studies from Walt Disney Corporation, NC+ and Orange Customer Service.
The Academy of Innovation and Creativity was created in cooperation with our clients from the Hi-Tech market, who see their competitive advantage in innovative and creative approach to business tasks and projects. One of the most important goals of this Academy is teaching the attendees how to make innovation a predictable and manageable process.
The Academy program is based on knowledge and experience of world's leading companies in the most innovative market of video game production.
Thanks to the Academy workshops, where the attendees learn how to increase the innovation and creativity of their business projects, they gain a practical ability to instantly use this new knowledge and methodologies in everyday operations.
Experts, regular employees, mid-level managers

From Resurrection Mary and Al Capone to the Murder Castle of H. H. Holmes and the funeral train of Abraham Lincoln, the spine-tingling sights and sounds of Chicago's yesteryear are still with us . . . and so are its ghosts.

The second in a series of posts that expose and analyze the architecture of this novel.
A little business first.
Donna Lodge sent me a link to an interview with Kathryn Stockett (author of "The Help"), and it's fascinating, scary and encouraging (writing often brings us a collision between those experiences).
"The Help" was rejected SIXTY TIMES… click HERE to read about it. And pay attention to Stockett's final tip to other writers, it's pure gold.
Also, at the end of this post you'll find information on two workshops I'm delivering soon, both in Oregon. Nice there this time of year, just sayin'.
Also (one more)… my buddy Randy Ingermanson (co-author of "Writing Fiction for Dummies") publishes the largest writing ezine on the planet (over 27, 000 subscribers). The latest issue is out, and, like all of his stuff, it's worth your time… get it via Text or PDF. You can visit Randy's site HERE.
Okay, let's do this:
The Opening Salvo in "Bait and Switch"
I'm a huge advocate of mission-driven storytelling.
The mere existence of a structural paradigm for our stories – four parts, three major milestones, a handful of other strategically-placed narrative tent poles – creates a compelling path for our stories…
… and thus, a context that defines the mission of our scenes and the part in which they appear.
In other words, the scenes at the beginning of a novel are different than the rest of the scenes in the story. They have a unique mission. And they come from within a unique contextual expectation.
Some writers get this by instinct. Some only get it when the principles of story architecture have been shown to them (like, right here on Storyfix and in my book), and then, from that moment on, they see it in every book they read and movie they see.
It's like a lightbulb going off. A cloud lifting. The truth illuminated. It's architecture exposed.
It's always there. You can't unsee it, you can't deny it.
And it'll need to be there in your story, as well.
When I wrote "Bait," everything about the mission and context for how the book opened was driven by this non-negotiable contextual architecture.
The Mission of Part 1 of Your Story
You should create a hook for the reader. Something that makes them want more.
You need to open a can of worms… lay the groundwork for an unfolding dramatic narrative (plot).
In Part 1 you must introduce the hero and show us a pre-plot point world view, including near-term goals (which will change at the First Plot Point).
You need to foreshadow.
You need to establish the world of your story.
You need to establish stakes, and on several levels. The reader should be invested in the hero (root for him or her, empathize). This is critical.
You have anywhere from 8 to 20 (or so) scenes to get this all down. Because when you get to Part 2 (after the First Plot Point), the mission and context of those scenes changes.
Understanding these contextual differences between the scenes in each of the four parts of your story – which allows you to properly define the mission of those scenes – is a major key to advancing to a publishable level.
All great stories do this.
It begins with a hook. In the case of "Bait and Switch," I deliberately – strategically – opened with two of them.
The Two-Barbed Opening Hook
In mission-driven scene writing, even though they are infused with character, sub-text and voice, it is best to have a single mission in mind for each scene. Doing so avoids random, sprawling narrative in the name of characterization, which is the bane of newer writers and unpublished manuscripts.
"Bait" opens with a Prologue. It's mission: to plant the seeds of a major corporate scandal and a cover-up that shows us these bad guys will kill to protect their secret. Who dies, and how, is less important than the exposure of a cover-up that will become the heart of the plot.
The hero isn't in that opening scene.
The first barb of my dual-hook was plot-driven.
The next short scene is part of that hook: it is a thinly veiled intro of the character with a foreshadowing of the covert world he is about to enter. More tease, more hooking. By implication, this scene links to the Prologue… we know our hero will be in the center of all this darkness.
That's barb #1: my intention was to hook you on the plot. To want to see what this all means, where it will go, and how it will involve a hero we haven't met yet.
In the third scene (Chapter Two), we meet Wolfgang Schmitt, the hero of this story. It uses first person narrative to sweeten the intimacy of the reader's relationship with Wolf. The story is actually very character-driven, despite a complicated (I'm told) plot, so this scene was critical.
It plays like a short story, a little mini-drama that really shows off Wolf's character while setting the stage for plot advancement… which happens in the last sentence of the scene.
That's called a cut and thrust, by the way. A zinger at the end of a scene that has satisfying resolution in it (the scene is very Tarantino-esque), but is now history (background context) as the story quickly advances into the main plot thread.
That scene is the second barb of my opening hook strategy.
By intention, we now love Wolf. We relate to him. He just did (in this scene) what we've all wanted to do in a business meeting from hell. And now he's on to a new adventure… the one foreshadowed by the Prologue and Chapter one.
None of those three scenes could succeed without an understanding of the context of the Big Picture of the story and the unfolding dramatic narrative (plot). It's all dripping with sub-text and context.
And yet, one of the barbs had a mission that exclusively targeted characterization, with that ending zinger.
The context was all about him becoming vulnerable to the offer that would suck him into the story (pure Part 1 context stuff)… and the mission was simply to show us this guy and make us fall in love with him.
Every scene needs to forward the story. The plot. Characterization is the suit of clothes, the paint, that makes the scenes work. That, and a little mini-drama that the scene presents and then resolves.
Mission-driven. Contextually linked. That's the ticket… including your hook or hooks.
If you'd like to follow this in context to the book itself, you can get it HERE on Kindle (or navigate to your favorite e-reader; it's available on Amazon, too, as a paperback).
Here's the skinny on the two workshops I'm teaching in Oregon:
October 1st, in Medford, Oregon.
It's a two session (morning and afternoon) intro and overview of the Six Core Competencies, with a direct application to any WIP of the attendees. How to put this into practice.
Email Alisa (email@example.com) or Phil (email@example.com) for more info. The workshop is sponsored by the Southern Oregon Willamette Writers.
October 29 – 30 in Portland, Oregon. This is the whole Six Core Competencies enchilada.
It's life changing. Okay, it's at least career changing. And, as I like to say, slightly disturbing.
Click HERE for more on that one.
Hope to see you there!
More deconstruction of "Bait and Switch" to come. If you've read the book and would like to chip in (on the hooks or anything else), we'd love to hear from you.

The Fort Stewart Cocaine Cartel
(Hinesville, GA) – A massive investigation of a reported sixty-four soldiers shocked the Fort Stewart community, with details slowly starting to emerge of a massive conspiracy to traffic cocaine in and around the Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield area. Currently, officials from the installation are not confirming how many soldiers are involved, but at least one soldier has been identified. PFC Mario Figueroa was arrested by the Liberty Country Sheriff's Office for various drug trafficking charges.
According to the Liberty Country Sheriff's Office Drug Task Force, the arrest comes as the first legal action taken after a three-month investigation that also involved the Army's Criminal Investigation Division (CID), as well the United States Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). So far, the Army is remaining tight-lipped on any other details of the case, with a spokesperson for Fort Stewart's CID only confirming that other soldiers have indeed been taken into custody, but would neither confirm nor deny the number of service members involved. The Commanding General of Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield, MG James Rainey, said in a news release that the post was dedicating resources and working closely with law enforcement to address the issue of illegal drugs on the base.
As the operation to take the involved soldiers into custody, Fort Stewart reportedly locked down the entire base and began conducting 100% searches of all vehicles entering the post. Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield are home to more than 25,000 soldiers and their families. All of the soldiers involved in the investigation are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
The spokesperson for the County Drug Task Force, Maj. Jeff Hein, said that several soldiers taken into custody had been questioned and released. PFC Figueroa remains in jail as of the writing of this article. According to official press releases, no further information will be released in order to protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation.

I have been in my garden all weekend, turning the soil, making a new compost pile, weeding and watering and combatting the weird bushes that are trying to take down my apple trees. Despite these horrible mangrove type bushes twising around them, trying to bring them down, my little apple trees are sprouting pretty little blossoms. I love the blossoms, it's the first real sign of spring and make me so darned happy I can't tell you.
My dream next year is to plant 15 Cherry Blossom trees (I've wished this for the last 4 years!) because I love the blossoms so much. It's not going to happen again this year, so for now I will appease myself by camping out at local Cherry Blossom trees for our family ohanami party. Until then…
Bath & Body Works has captured the fresh scent of spring with a crispy citrus and floral scent named Blushing Cherry Blossom. I LOVE it, what a boost to the psyche after a long blah winter.
Top Notes: Mandarin, Leafy Green Accord, Sparkling Quince, Lush Berries, Fresh Melon

Erik ReeL was born in Seattle in 1952, attended Whitman College, majoring in mathematics; the University of California, at Berkeley; and the University of Washington in art history and studio art, graduating summa cum laude in 1975. He studied art history with Rainer Crone and Ettlinger, painting with Jacob Lawrence, Michael Spafford, Bob Jones, and Michael Dailey, color with Richard Dahn [a student of Albers], sumi-e with George Tsutakawa, and Chinese brush with Hsai Chen.
In the 1970s ReeL wrote on art for Vanguard, ArtExpress, High Performance magazines, ArtWeek, a weekly arts column for the Bellevue Journal-American, as well as reviews for a variety of publications, and was the arts editor for the Seattle Voice city magazine. He sat on the Seattle Arts Commission Special Task Force for Media, and the Special Task Force for Educational Institutions in the Arts. During this time ReeL created and participated in a number of Performance Art pieces performed primarily within the Puget Sound region around Seattle and exhibited paintings with the original Jackson Street Gallery located upstairs at 123 Jackson Street. For half a decade he taught art history, color theory, life painting, and design at the Seattle Central Community College before leaving Seattle permanently in 1984.
This commenced almost a decade where ReeL refused to exhibit his work with the exception of a modest solo exhibition of drawings at the Mazey Hickey gallery in Seattle. ReeL began to exhibit again at the end of the twentieth century in fairly modest venues with a terse, figurative, post-modernist style. In 2009, ReeL started stripping out all references to the material world in his painting, pushing the work into a position clearly critical of the "hypermaterialism" of contemporary society. This was soon followed by strong, successful shows, first at the 643 Project Space, then the WAV [Working Artists of Ventura] space with fellow painter, Nash Rightmer and a solo show at the Studio Channel Islands Art [SCIART] blackboard gallery. These shows were followed by a string of museum shows, starting with the Museum of Ventura County Rebar show; followed by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Santa Barbara's group show, Out of the Great Wide Open, where ReeL was given his own room, constituting, in essence, his own solo show within the group exhibition, culminating with a solo show at the Morris Graves Museum of Art. In a presentation at the Morris Graves Museum of Art, Portland art critic, Jae Carlsson [Art Dish, ArtForum] pointed out ReeL's visual and philosophical connections to earlier Seattle painters Morris Graves and Mark Tobey, while at the same time indicating that ReeL had pushed things beyond Post-Modernist limitations.
In a certain sense, with these connections to earlier Seattle precedents and his influences from the Black Mountain Arts School via Jacob Lawrence and Bob Jones, with later influences from Cy Twombly after a meeting and exhibition of Twombly's in New York in the late 1970s, ReeL's current work could be seen as a continuation of both the Northwest School "Northwest Mystics" of Seattle and La Connor, and the core Black Mountain School painting traditions all rolled up into one, even though he does not practice or exhibit in Seattle, nor has had any direct interaction with the Black Mountain Arts School per se.
In 2012 ReeL met and two years later, married Rhonda P. Hill, who has been a key influence in both his art and in persuading him to exhibit his work to a broader public. He currently maintains a studio north of Los Angeles, above the ocean in old downtown Ventura, California.

Fun Wooden Math Game (Toy Recommendation)
Santa gave the 4 Way Countdown Wooden Game to my 7 year-old daughter because he was hoping it might be a fun way to work on memorizing math facts.
The board consists of a simple square wooden box. Each side has ten wooden numbered bars that flip up and down. The object of the game is to be the first to flip up all your numbers. Players take turns rolling two dice. They can add, subtract, multiply, or divide the two numbers appearing on the dice in order to equal a number on one of their bars. They then flip up that bar. To make things a little more interesting, if you roll and eleven, you can of course flip up the 1 (6-5=1) or, instead, make another player flip all their bars back down. Fun, but beware: if you roll a twelve, then you must flip down all your bars!
This makes for a surprisingly entertaining game. What I like best about the game is how it can grow with your child's abilities. Younger children can play by simply adding and subtracting. Multiplication and division can be added later as math skills progress.
I must also mention that even I like playing this one. Since many games aimed at children are deadly boring for grownups, I am always excited to find one that is at least tolerable, at best fun.
So, did Santa pick wisely? Yes! This game makes basic math facts easier to memorize and is way more fun than flash cards. Thank you Santa!
4 Way Countdown is also fairly practical as a travel game. The box is about 10.5″ x 10.5″ and 1.5″ thick, doesn't weigh much, and the only loose pieces are the two dice. Dice are rolled inside the box, so are unlikely to escape during play.
Great math practice for 2 to 4 players (or you could even play alone). It would also be a great addition to a homeschool classroom.
PS. My daughter just saw me writing this post and wants to play 4 Way Countdown now. I've got to go so we can get in a quick game before dinner!

TOWIE star takes us by surprise and introduces his 'wife'!
There is a new love interest on the scene for TOWIE star Mario Falcone, who is now said to be officially off the market!
Lucy Mecklenburgh's ex-fiancé posted photos of himself and his new lady, Emma McVey, on his Instagram account.
Emma is a lingerie model from the UK and is currently based in Miami – does that mean Mario will be making the big move?!
Surprisingly, it sounds as if Mario and Emma are moving VERY fast as he is already calling her his 'wife'! The reality TV star captioned a loved-up photo: "Miami heat with the wife @emma_jane1932."
Hmm, so does the reality TV star have some big news to share or is it just a sweet term of endearment?!

This product smells great and can be used on wet or dry hair. It does smooth frizzy hair down especially in humid weather BUT can look greasy after a short period of time.

Authors Note: I know I am a few days late with this, but this is an issue that is only going to grow louder in Panama in the coming weeks and months, so I still wanted to write my article about this.
Last Thursday, January 29th, thousands of Panamanians gathered together and marched down Via Espana to demand an end to corruption in government and the judicial system. Target number 1 on the protesters mind? Former President, Ricardo Martinelli.
When I spoke with Dr. Miguel Antonio Bernal, a constitutional lawyer who was one of the protest leaders, he told me the goal of the protests was to demand accountability and make sure that the "cartel of corruption" saw prison. When I asked him if this included former President Martinelli, he responded without hesitation. "Of course, he is number one on the list. Him and his ministers." As the protesters marched, many of the slogans they chanted included "Martinelli" in them. While I couldn't understand most of what they were chanting, it was clear that most of the marchers felt the same way as Dr. Bernal did.
Former President Martinelli is a very polarizing figure in Panama, almost a year after his term ended. His supporters say that he did more for Panama than any other President, and helped to grow Panama into a developed country and international business hub. His critics accuse him of doing so through corruption, diverting millions if not billions of dollars to inflated contracts for himself and his friends and family. He has been linked in corruption probes involving former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, and recently Panama's Supreme Court has announced that they will appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the President's actions if office.
Pressure appears to grow on Martenilli by the day, and it has been reported that he has left the country and has appointed power of attorney to his family. It appears more likely that if he does return to Panama, arrest is a definite possibility. The protesters want to use their pressure to increase the likelihood of that happening.
However, from talking to the protesters, it was clear this march was about much more than just Martinelli. They view him as a symptom of a corrupt system, rather than the cause of the disease. When I talked to Carmen, another lawyer who was marching in the protest, it was clear she viewed the justice system as the biggest problem.
According to Carmen, the justice system in Panama is broken. Too much power is given to the executive branch to appoint justices, and as a result, they are corrupt. The legal system operates on an open understanding of "he who bribes the highest, wins." Those who choose to try their cases honestly are likely to lose, no matter how much the evidence supports them, if they are up against someone who is willing to pay to win their case.
Many of the protesters believe this problem lies in Panama's constitution. Most wore headbands at the march that read "Constituyente Soberana Ya", which roughly translates to "Sovereign Constituent Assembly Already." This is a call for an assembly to draft a new constitution. While Panama has been a relatively peaceful and high functioning democracy since former dictator Manuel Noriega was overthrown in 1989, the constitution has not been updated since the dictator's rule. This leads to a system that the protesters believe places too much power in the executive branch and individual judges, and lacks adequate protections for the people.
It's clear that in the long term, this is the protester's bigger aim. Regardless of what happens with Former President Martinelli, their movement is only starting, and they aim to continue to grow it until changes are made to Panama's system that reduces corruption. While it is too early to tell if they will be successful in their crusade, it is clear that this movement is only just beginning in Panama.

With spring on the way I am sure all you gardeners are eager to get started, here some planter ideas to think about.
No matter if your idea is an extreme piece like this VW bug laid to rest but still radiating flower power or something as simple as a broken flower pot, if it is well thought out it can look amazing.
One of my favorites is combining practicality with looks… endless possibilities with hanging tomatoes or strawberries. Fresh every day and on your deck, no tilling the beds and staking them and far less insects eating your produce. I also found this method much better for getting the kids involved with continued interest throughout the season.
Your planters ideas are only limited by your imagination, they can be as artistic or whimsical as you want them to be.
Bicycle planters are classic but in my opinion are common place and mass produced and sold almost everywhere.
Nothing fancy but this colander planter would be quick and have great drainage.
Tire planters could have a blog of their own, once again unlimited possibilities, tough and last for ever.
Stumps, driftwood and other logs. The example(left) is probably the quickest to produce(find a hollow log cut to size with chain saw, attach some screen to the bottom and you're done), I seen many made similar with older stumps(no cut on the top to preserve realistic rustic look) complete with growing moss.
Container gardening is great for those with limited space.. THE MORE UNIQUE THE CONTAINER THE BETTER
Many old recycled items can make awesome planters. Keep placement in mind. Would the boots not look really cool in a garden appearing as if left behind on a hot summer day.
I really like the "sideways" effect shown in spilt milk can example, another idea is to use broken clay pots and have the plants grow as if they continued to grow after it hit the ground.
This bible has not been read in a while.
Great idea for a waterfront home.
Nice bath tub planter.. but once again placement is more then half of the effect… would this not be cool in a country setting perhaps by a old well handle.
Carts of all kinds make really good platers, I like when it looks like time has taken them over.
Feel free to contact me if you have any good ideas for planters or have any questions.

A New Designation for French Restaurants
15 of the greatest French chefs members of the famous "College Culinaire de France" are launching a new restaurant appellation "Fait Maison" or "Home Made".
Considering that from around 150,000 French restaurants 3/4 are believed to buy semi-prepared foods and just finish their cooking in-house (and not forget the presentation!!!), the "fait maison" label will distinguish the culinarians who make the effort to prepare their dishes from scratch and from fresh ingredients.
The "College Culinaire de France" chefs are already setting up some basic guidelines – easy to spot things that anybody, who wants to know what exactly is on their plate, should pay attention when eating in a restaurant – that include:
- the number of dishes on the menu – it is impossible to cook more then 10 types of dishes in a "home made" style, except in very large structures
- and the match between the season of the year and the produce used as ingredients
To obtain the appellation of "Fait Maison" (or "Restaurant de qualité") a restaurant chef candidate has to display transparency in his/her process of obtaining the ingredients and their cooking.
The restaurant needs first to obtain the unanimity of the "College Culinaire de France" members.
Then to maintain the "Fait Maison" label it has to acquire at least 75% of satisfaction from its clients, who can vote by internet, as well as to continue it's recognition by the above college.

Knowsley Active Challenge 2016
Last night 12 children went to Lord Derby's estate to take part in the Knowsley Active Challenge 2016. They joined with other children from across the Merseyside area, to run a 2km road race through the grounds of the estate. Cheered on by family and friends, all of the children, as always, did themselves and Ravenscroft proud and finished ahead of many older (up to age 16) and more experienced runners. A very special well done must go to Michael Marsh who had said earlier in the day that he was going to win the Year3/4 race and, true to his word, he did just that, being one of the fastest runners overall. Fantastic Mikey! The race last night wasn't just about winning, it was a fun run in the local community and the children were exceptional.
Congratulations to all of the children who took part and many thanks to parents, grandparents and friends who have supported them and me throughout this year's cross country season. I am very proud of the children's achievements and of the commitment and dedication that they have demonstrated during training and in races. Finally, it is with sadness that we will be saying goodbye to our Year 6 runners as they leave at the end of term for secondary school. Your achievements in cross country are outstanding and winning all 3 Kirbky cups is a fitting way to finish your cross country running at Ravenscroft. You all have exceptional talent and I hope that you continue running with the same level of commitment and enthusiasm that you have shown over the last few years. Well done and thank you to all of you.

Riverside police officers on Friday, April 22, arrested a 31-year-old Alabama man on suspicion that he was using a young girl for prostitution purposes, authorities said.
Rufus Oneal Freeman, 31, was arrested at the intersection of University and Iowa avenues on suspicion of human trafficking and exploitation of a minor, police say. He was booked at the Riverside Hall of Justice with bail set at $500,000 and had not been released as of Saturday.
Police say they stopped Freeman in the early morning hours as part of a "vehicle check" and found out that he had an underage girl as a passenger in his car.
Because of the difference in Freeman's and the girl's ages, and the fact that they did not appear to be related, police checked and discovered that the girl had been reported as a runaway in San Bernardino.
After further investigation, police say they believe Freeman was trafficking the girl.
The girl has since been returned to her family, officials say.

Thanks for all the feedback — I'm leaning toward Version A which seems to be the overall favorite although I really think either would look OK.
I'm actually kind of thrilled that they chose this one since I had already pieced the quilt. It will be easy to add borders and then quilt it and I still have lots of time – I'm not a big fan of making large bed quilts. For those of you who don't remember seeing it — here's a partial shot of the top — it's big even without the borders and I didn't have space to get a full photo of it.
And for those of you checking up on Chesty — his procedure/surgery is scheduled for Monday. They'll attempt to remove the stones via lithotripsy but will have a surgical team standing by if needed. I'm hoping for the best.
Finally, it's funny but Keith and I have a bit of a different perspective on the baby — he tells people that HE'S going to be a grandpa….I tell people that Adam is going to be a Dad. I guess I'm still adjusting to it the idea of my baby becoming a father but Adam is excited and that's what matters most.

I have compiled a list of some Blogging Tips that I have learnt along the way on my blogging journey. I am no expert in anyway, but hopefully some of these may be of help for your own blog…
Depending on your Blogging Type, whether your a Parent, Lifestyle, Beauty, Creative Blogger. Hashtags will help you find new blogs, and also gain traffic to your own. Some hashtags that will help you get started:
- Parenting Blog – #PBloggers #MummyBlogger
- Beauty Blog – #BBloggers #BeautyBlog
- Creative Blog – #CBloggers
- Lifestyle Blog – #LBloggers
Also some chats are run by groups, you will find quite a few are awesome, and will RT your blog post for you if you use their hashtags. #GRLPOWR and #30PlusBlogs are excellent for this. Also for helping RT add some Twitter RT Specialists to post links, such as @FemaleBloggerRT @BloggerBees @GRLPOWR @UKBlog_RT @UKBloggers1
Social Media
To gain blog traffic, the best way to get your posts out there is using Social Media. This can be time consuming, but scheduling apps like Buffer and Hootsuite can help with this. I always use Twitter, and have found this most effective. My Facebook Blog Page gets traffic but not much interaction. My other Social Media fave is Instagram. I need to sort my Google Plus Page and Pinterest especially. You can also join Bloglovin' but I found again, not much interaction this way.
I always set aside time to make sure I read fellow blogger posts. Not for traffic gain, but I like seeing what other finds bloggers have to say. I regularly ready a few favourite blogs, others I find using hashtags on from people on my timeline. If I get a social comment or blog post comment, I always try and make sure I reply when I can. This is to be polite, that person had took time to read your post and leave a comment especially, so I always make sure I say thankyou.
Be Organised
One main Blogging Tip that most Bloggers will say to you is be organised and productive. You can see tips on being productive here.
Make a blogging journal, or use a planner. You can even just jot down ideas, links, posts you would like to publish and when. I don't worry about what days as such I blog. I used to try and get as many out regularly as I can but this was getting like a chore, not a hobby. Now I don't worry about content and blog when I can. I try to do my Friday #FunkoFriday feature, then if I can try and aim for 1-2 posts a week on top of this. Depending on how busy I am with work or being a mummy. Main thing is I don't beat myself up on this. I do try to vary my posts. I try not to post similar things one after the other.
If you are busy like myself, I find Scheduling Tweets helps. I use Buffer on days to post on my social media pages for me at times I state. I recently downloaded Hootsuite but am still to try this. I try not to schedule too much in the day as I don't want to inudate my timeline.
Twitter Chats
Make sure you take the time to join Twitter chats. They are a great way of getting traffic to your blog, but mainly for me, I love interacting with other bloggers. Blogging has made me some really lovely friends. Some of the chats I join when I can are (times are GMT):
- #DisneyBloggersChat -Thursday 6pm
- #GRLPOWRCHAT -Tuesday 9pm, Thursday 8pm and Sunday 9pm
- #TeacupClub -Sunday 5pm and Wednesday 7pm
- #cbloggers -Thursdays 8:30pm
- #bloggerssparkle -Wednesdays 8pm and Saturdays 6pm
- #beechat -Monday 5pm and Thursday 9pm
Depending on which platform you use for your Blog, you can install Plug In's to help run your blog efficiently. I use wordpress, so Plug In's are widely available. I recently updates my theme from Pipdig, this has been one of the best things I have done. Not only have I finally got a Blog layout I love. But the plug-ins that came with the theme has made such a difference to blog traffic. Such as at the end of each post, a selection of archive posts comes up. This has caused way more page views. I love the pip dig themes, as these are all fully customisable to your own taste of layout.
Some of my favourite Plug-Ins are:
- Yoast SEO -This really helps me strengthen my posts. I am working my way through old posts to ensure they meet all of the SEO needs. Yoast simply helps you set Alt Tags and Focus Keywords to help you truly rank on Google. You also can change the Meta Decription (this writing you see on searches) which you want to make sure you feature the focus keyword. Yoast SEO works on a traffic light system. Your main goal is to have this set on green when publishing. I have added a screenshot below so you can see Yoast SEO -Content Analysis. This acts of a checklist of helping your page to rank using SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
- CommentLuv -When fellow bloggers leave you lovely comments on your posts, why not let them leave a link to their last blog post. This is what CommentLuv does.
- Ultimate No Follow -This Plug-In is brilliant for editing links you may add to a post. If you have been asked to review a product you must select 'No Follow' otherwise Google won't be happy bunnies.
- Jetpack -I have heard mixed reviews on Jetpack. I personally like it and find this does not slow my site in the slightest. I mainly use the Site Stats section to see how posts have reached my audience.
Blog Audit
My job at work is auditing and being super organised. I try to make time to audit my blog along a timeline. I need to tidy up old posts from my previous theme layout. Some ways of doing a Blog Audit are:
- Refresh Photos -Could you improve the original photos
- Broken Links -I recently had 52 broken links which now are all fixed. You can get Broken Links plug in apps, depending which blogging platform you use. I used a free Broken Link checker online
- Old Posts -I regularly go through old posts and either amend and update, or in a few cases I have deleted the post all together
- Social Media -Don't just stop your audit at your blog. Have an audit on your Social Media sites too
Hope some of these may help and be of use. Let me know any blogging tips you may have

It's not often I'll admit to being selfish. I try so hard to keep from being self absorbed. I have a desire to help others and work to fulfill that desire whenever possible. Recently I have come to accept I'm completely and utterly selfish. Here's why. In 2015, I made a decision I wasn't sure I could fulfill. I was pregnant. I didn't want to be. I felt shame, frustration, anger, scared. I was not happy about the possibility of another child. After all, two was my max. I had the "perfect" family, one girl, one boy.
During this time I researched my options.I knew I had to figure how to make this work. I even went and spoke to someone about adoption. I knew there was no way I could have this baby and keep it. He/She would be better off if someone else raised her. I was maxed out with the two I had, the very idea of changing that dynamic was terrifying.
As they explained the adoption process and how I still had the opportunity to change my mind all the way up until a few days after birth. I kept thinking, that adoption was the right thing. I wanted to make sure this baby was with someone who could offer what I couldn't. Yet, that nagging feeling of how could I give one baby away when I had their brother and sister at home just ate at me. How could I not keep them, knowing I was raising their siblings.
So I kept the information given to me and went on my way. Knowing that I still could do what I needed to do. Whatever that turned out to be. I didn't want to commit to the adoption process until I was absolutely sure I could let my child go without changing my mind later. I couldn't stand the thought of telling someone they would have a child soon and then taking that dream away. I expressed my concerns to the agency as they assured me I was not an awful person for feeling the way I did. Deep down I knew I couldn't offer them 100%. I would figure it all out. I struggled and struggled with my conflicting feelings, I felt so bad that I was able to bear a child I did not want yet so many people are unable to conceive at all. As I wanted was for this baby to be loved, the way I loved my other two. Yet it felt like it was impossible to offer that.
My doctors even discussed how the adoption process would go in the hospital. "I've had birth mothers and the new family went out of the hospital on opposite entrances." As comforting as she sad trying to be, it made me realize I could not leave the hospital without knowing my child was coming home with me. God willing.
Fast forward almost 2 years, I can't help but feel selfish I am able to get all the love this little girl has to offer. things have changed so much since she arrived. Things are by no means perfect. There are times I wonder how it will work out. The times I know I made The right choice is when she cheesy grins at me, when she butts her head into mine to offer a kiss, possibly breaking my nose in the process. The way she cocks her head sideways to see what I'm doing constantly.
Everyday I witness this little girl grow and change as she just gets bigger and bigger. She brings a ton of joy into my life.
I may be bias but i have yet to find a single person who does not take a liking to her. She can lift my spirits with her sweet laugh. She may not have all the material things someone else could have to offer. But I have everything I didn't realize I needed all because I was selfish.
I know had I put her up for adoption she would of been quite the gift but I'm so glad I fought through the heartache to end up with such an amazing child. For that I am forever grateful. I often think about what she would of had if I had not been selfish but I know now the decision made was the best one I could have made. I wanted her to be loved and she is loved beyond measure. I still struggle with guilt for feeling the way I did. But in a way I appreciate her more, because I fought a hard internal battle to come to this decision.
I'm really thankful I had a choice. I can not imagine having that choice taking from me. I believe the internal battle is hard enough. I had to make the decision that was right for me. As I believe we all should be able to do. Whatever the beliefs are. I may not agree with your choice,and you may not agree with mine but I can agree with the right to choose. Life is tough enough without pitting ourselves against each other. So while someone's choice may seem selfish, sometimes being selfish turns out just fine.

I downvoted because I found the tone negative and hyperbolic. It won't kill the forum. I think a good norm the community is to always steelman before criticising. This would make us more welcoming and constructive.
I agree that, other things equal, we want to encourage critics to be constructive. All things considered, however, I'm not sure we should hold criticism to a higher standard, as we seem to be doing. This would result in higher quality criticism, but also in less total criticism.
In addition, the standard to which criticism is held is often influenced by irrelevant considerations, like the status of the person or organization being criticized. So in practice I would expect such a norm to stifle certain types of criticism more than others, over and above reducing criticism in general.
I think we should hold criticism to a higher standard, because criticism has more costs. Negative things are much more memorable than positive things. People often remember criticism, perhaps just on a gut level, even if it's shown to be wrong later in the thread.
Also there's now 14 comments debating this issue and 0 comments debating how much funding CEA should get, which is a vastly more important issue. So this comment derailed the thread.
If the CEA is seriously seeking feedback from unaligned EA community members on how much funding the CEA should receive, I have all kinds of thoughts on this I'll write up as a top-level post when I get the chance.

Strategies that Work!
The vision and mission for many school districts typically reflects a strong focus on high expectations for all students, excellence in teaching and learning, respect for the individual, resources to support students, and a community of shared ownership. These five values demonstrate a direct relationship with the tenets of differentiated instruction. Differentiated instructional philosophy and practices are designed to support the academic success of all students by ensuring that each student is viewed as an important individual with unique learning characteristics that are best addressed through highly effective, research-based instructional strategies. These strategies will support a district's instructional focus.
We have prepared this training to ensure that teachers and administrators receive practical, classroom-friendly resources to support their efforts toward quality instruction for all students. These materials should act as a companion to a district's curriculum framework. Our goal is to provide resources to guide teachers in applying highly-effective, differentiated instructional strategies that extend the opportunities for all students to be successful within the context of the district's curriculum.
Technology integration is also a focus in our Differentiated Instruction training. This portion can be customized to fit your districts' needs and include a variety of free Web 2.0 Tools for students to create products to display their understanding of a concept. Web 2.0 tools will a number of free/low cost websites appropriate for multiple content areas and grade levels. If your district already has G Suite for Education in place, ideas of how to utilize them to improve collaboration can be included as well.
Although various experts of differentiated instruction describe this practice in different ways, we propose a four-component model of differentiated instruction. This model is synthesized using the Instructional Design Tool (IDT)… a Stetson trademark for Differentiated Instruction!
Learner Outcomes
This training is designed for general education teachers, special education teachers, paraeducators, instructional specialists, related services providers, and campus and/or district administrators.
Each participant will learn:
- Experience a differentiated classroom using multi-level instructional strategies and a planning model for all students within a single framework.
- Effectively respond to diverse student learning characteristics using pre-assessment, grouping, and assessment strategies.
- Develop practical strategies for differentiating instructional content, process and product.
- Create a classroom structure and roles that support effective differentiated instruction.
