I'm getting a bit concerned about this whole green thing. It seems that''s all anyone talks about.
This afternoon, I was reading Knight Errant, Lee Knight''s column in the August Exhibitor Magazine, and it made me start thinking (it often does that) about the greening of the exhibit industry. I thought about it, and it made me uneasy. Nooo, not because I hate the environment. My good friend, The Sheriff of Mayberry, has been a great influence on me. He is truly well versed in creating a sustainable supply chain. You see, he got me to read Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things, and he taught me that green really means sustainable. So my concern is that this emphasis takes a constructive path, and doesn't become some fashion statement.
I have already seen a bit of green washing, and I think there is a real need to educate the buying public so that they do make changes that will be the most effective. The ''reduce, reuse, recycle'' maxim should be followed when making a decision about materials and sources.
For example:
- To reduce we could go towards a more minimal booth, or use a system to keep the weight down and save on shipping. We can use lighter materials in construction or even evaluate the shows we attend and eliminate those few that really aren't earning their keep.
- If we want to reuse, how about using rental properties. That probably has the biggest impact in the trade show industry. By renting you are using property that, instead of being used at 4-6 shows a year in your schedule and spending the rest of the year sitting in a warehouse, is used as often as it can be booked. It could conceivably be used at 3 shows per month. That makes 36 times a year, or about 1/6 the amount of exhibit required per show as a privately owned exhibit. Even better, if the booth you rent is based in the same city as your show (like buying locally grown produce) you save all that freight cost and carbon production. The same goes for components. Instead of buying furniture, consider renting from one of the companies that has a good selection of really handsome furniture and accessories. Cort comes to mind. Consider renting carpet or av equipment. I know, I always hear the argument that "you can buy a carpet for what they charge to rent it". And literally taken, that is true. But you can''t buy it, ship it to the show, pay drayage on it, pay for it''s installation and removal, and ship it back after the show for what it costs to rent it. When you look at it that way it starts making real sense. Of course there are times when you need to own your flooring, and that''s cool, and that's when you can look at the recycled material content.
- Which brings us to to recycle. The last of the triad, and the one you do only after you have done the other two, is still important. And while it is important to look at what we buy to make sure it is made of post consumer ingredients and sustainable materials, it is every bit as important to recycle what we can.
I recently got a call from a client who was doing a project for the Owsley Company and needed to know what the post consumer content of the stuff they buy from me had. I told them what each component had in it for a range, and I said that it wasn't really possible to give an exact number. You see you can never know just exactly what amount is used , other than that certain percentages are required to say certain things, and that certain materials (like aluminum) have a range of how much is virgin and how much is recycled. But, you see, the company ''chief sustainability officer'' (or whatever trendy title they had) had their bonus tied to making that number go up every year, so making up a value for that particular metric became the most important thing in the equation. What''s the problem with that, you ask? Well, I then asked if they recycle the exhibits they have now and the answer was no. Not surprising, as I subsequently asked quite a few of my clients and not many did, or didn't know. The most common reasons were that they didn't know how, or they outsourced it to their exhibit services company and weren't sure what they did. So, you can see why I find it a bit frustrating that a company who wants to wrap themselves in the cloak of responsibility for buying recycled stuff doesn't even recycle themselves.
Another concern I have is; who is going to come up with guidelines and values for our industry? It really can''t be an industry association. Oh, they can, and should, weight in. But the standard developers need to be impartial so it doesn't turn into a counterproductive waste of time and resources (UL 2305 comes to mind) creating some universally non-offensive statement of position. And it can''t be vendors, because that is just going to get ridiculous (it already has, actually). We need someone totally impartial who loves numbers that can come up with a points system for balancing what we do with what we save. Sort of like the LEED system for building, we need something that is relevant to our industry. There are those who give LEED values to their exhibit products, but that makes about as much sense as me shopping for a car that is approved by The American Dental Association. It needs to be someone who will calculate what order of magnitude more effective one thing is over another. For instance, should we really be getting all excited about using compact fluorescents in our exhibit lighting when they are only on for three hours at a time...three days in a row...a few times a year. Hell, you''d make more difference in the world turning off the porch light at home fifteen minutes earlier.
That's it. Just my opinion. But I do think if we start to do things that are actually helping things better, not just making us feel better, maybe this can become a sustainable habit, and not just this season's feel good fad.

We got a chance to spend brunch with Leah Darling, the darling owner of boutique upholstery shop Beving & Dall. You might not guess it from the fancy fabrics and victorian shapes, but Leah Darling is not only funny, but she's totally your neighborhood upholsterer, one who is currently enrolled in a 6-week automotive upholstery program in rural Pennsylvania meant for, well, not high-end designers but tradesmen. Leah and I shared Lemon Souffle Pancakes and a Veggie Fritatta at Fire after spending time shopping North Union Farmer's Market. Between bites of pancakes and sips of coffee, I got down to the detail with Leah about why she loves what she does, how she got into business and what she's planning for 2018.
When did you know this was a passion for you?
I always dabbled in different artistic interests. I would get excited about a hobby, exhaust it, grow bored and move on to something new. This creative cycle continued for years but something happened to me when I discovered furniture reupholstery. The process keeps me intrigued. Every project is new and even after 6 years in the trade I still get excited to see a finished product.
When did you officially become a business?
January 2014
What were a few of your personal favorite projects?
Last year I designed and fabricated a set of dining chairs using a woven technique for the seat support and back rest. I chose electric-colored paracord and black macrame cording for the weaving. I kept this project stashed away in my brain for a long time -- it was so exciting to finally see it manifested in the real.
What did you do to prepare for this type of career?
My career started with a craigslist ad and a youtube video! A few years after college I took a year off from my career path and on a whim I applied to a craigslist ad for a part time upholstery job in Elizabeth, CO. Prior to applying for the position I had only had a brief experience with upholstery -- redoing simple projects for around my apartment. The night before my interview I watched several upholstery how-to videos on YouTube. Amazingly the first project for my interview was exactly the material I researched the night before! I got the job and started two days a week. In a couple months I was working full-time.
Who influences your design / aesthetic?
I am largely influenced by cross-cultural experiences and the people I meet abroad.
Do you have any personal heroes?
Is it too cliche to say my parents? At one point in time both of my parents owned small businesses. I grew up under the influence of two extremely driven people and their work ethic has always been an inspiration to me. I derived my business name after family names from both my mom's side and my dad's.
What are some of the biggest obstacles you've faced? (and overcome)
I work almost exclusively on my own. Consequently, I have had to overcome a lot of self-doubt.
What's next for you?
Textile design! I am very passionate about creating beautiful interior spaces with unique furniture and interesting textiles.
What's one of your biggest goals for Beving & Dall?
In-house manufacturing for furniture and textiles.
What do you find the most tough part about running your business now?
Finding skilled craftsmen and women. Do you know anyone?
How can people find / shop you?
My studio is located in Chardon, OH and open by appointment only.
What were your inspirations for the chairs you had done for me?
Palm prints always feel effortless to me. Since I completely restored the chairs internally I wanted to give them the same fresh look on the outside.

God Has Something Better
The first time I prayed a desperate, cry-from-the-heart, kind of prayer was when I was about 8 years old and our cat went missing. I went into my bedroom, kneeled in front of a small statue of Jesus, and begged him to bring Smutty Nose back. While I was still on my knees, I heard my sister yell from the driveway, "Guys! Guys! Smutty Nose is back."
That instant answer to my prayer made a powerful impression on my 8-year-old heart. God went from being a mysterious presence in the sky to someone who heard the broken-hearted prayer of a little girl and answered it.
Prayers that are answered quickly are a booster shot to our faith and give us wonderful reassurance that God really does hear us. But in the many years since that desperate, childlike prayer, I have sent up many more heart-cry prayers that have not been answered quickly. And sometimes, when the answer did finally come, it was not what I would have wanted. My finite mind will never be able to understand all the ways of an infinite God, but I'm learning God has used what I have perceived as delays and disappointments to increase my faith and grow my trust in him more than anything else in my life.
It can be tempting to give into the thought, "God, if you really are in control you could change this situation in a heartbeat. If you really love me, why not do it?" But Proverbs 3:5 tells us to "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight." I'm learning to embrace that my life and my circumstances are in the hands of an Almighty God who loves me so much, he died for me. I can trust his heart toward me even when I don't understand and that brings a peace and contentment only he can give.
There's something I've been praying for pretty desperately in recent years. It's a biggie and it's something I feel God has assured me, he has for me. But with each yearly milestone that passes, I find my heart crying, "When God? When?" The hardest days have been when it looked like my prayer was about to be answered only to realize God was saying "no" or "not yet". Through years of wrestling with this unmet longing God has cemented a deep knowing in my heart that sustains my hope. It's knowing that the "no" and "not yet" answers are God pointing me toward something better that he has for me. My job is to be patient until the right time. I've been convicted that more often than not, I make God too small. Hindsight is 20/20 and I can see that many of the things I've prayed and begged for have been so much less than what he has in mind for me.
I cling to the description of God in Ephesians 3:20, "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us." I think God desires to give me much more than what I've been praying for and I find great encouragement from the stories of both Joseph and Lazarus. Joseph languished in prison for years but at precisely the right time, God promoted and blessed him beyond anything Joseph could have hoped for! Lazarus lost his life and those who loved him were heartbroken over Jesus' delay in coming but God had something so much better for them. A miraculous resurrection!
I can look back through decades of my journals and see so many desperate prayers that now, I thank God he didn't answer the way I wanted him to. If like me, you have some prayers you wish God would get busy answering in the way you hope, know that you are in the perfect place for God to deepen your faith and bring about a deeper, greater blessing in your life.
He is a good, good father who hears and answers our prayers in his perfect timing and his perfect way. You can trust him.

Balance enables us to remain upright. It is a primitive function and acts as the foundation for our physical, cognitive and social skills. Imagine trying to write whilst falling off the seat or to have a conversation when you are constantly falling over. Yes, these are dramatic examples but it paints a picture of how vital balance is to our lives.
Balance is important for walking, riding a bike, throwing a ball, concentration and learning. Poor balance can result in falls, painful injuries, fatigue, headaches or dizziness.
What balance tests are performed?Balance involves the coordination of three sensory systems:
- Eyes - visual system
- Ears - vestibular system
- Body - proprioceptive system
Each of these systems can be tested individually to help determine the most effective and efficient treatment approach.
This can include testing:
- Eye movements and reflexes
- Specific movements of the neck and body
- Movement of the muscles and joints of the body
What does computerised balance testing involve?You will be asked to stand barefoot on a force-platform. The force-platform tracks the pressure of your feet and sends this information to specialised computer software. This software performs complicated calculations to assess different parameters of balance and to compares this to a normative database of people the same age, sex, height and weight.
These results help guide your treatment approach and home rehabilitation exercises. Additionally, they can be used to monitor your progress.
Is the computerised balance test difficult?For most people, it is not difficult at all. However, if you struggle to stand unassisted it could be difficult and we may have to alter the test slightly.
How expensive is computerised balance testing?Body and Brain Centre does not charge for the assessment as part of our Chiropractic Neuro-Rehabilitation consultations. These tests are so valuable that we don't want anyone to miss out due to an expense.
I am interested in assessing my balance but do not understand why a Chiropractic consultation is required?Dr Cassie, our neuro-rehabilitation Chiropractor, has post-graduate training in balance disorders and brain-based therapies. Cassie will perform a thorough examination to find the cause of your dizziness, headaches or balance difficulties. Depending on the cause of your complaint, you may benefit from specific joint mobilisations, massage and stretches as well as home exercises. Some conditions will need to be co-managed with a medical neurologist or your GP.

So, after my last entry, I signed up for a course through the National Education Alliance for Borderline Personality Disorder called Family Connections. Basically, it is a class for relatives, friends, and loved ones of people with BPD. Today was the first class, and it was pretty interesting.
I've been to support groups before; they aren't new to me. I go to one for my step-down group, and I try to get over to DBSA when I'm not working on that night. But the support groups I've been a part of were for the people who had mental disorders. I knew there were groups for family and friends before, but hadn't ever been part of one. But after having gone, I can see how helpful they can end up being for those supporting people with psychological issues.
For BPD, while there were a lot of stories about children, spouses, and friends, they all had some things in common; at times it seemed like we were quoting out of the DSM criteria for Borderline Personality Disorder. There was a lot of frustration, a lot of wondering what we could do to try and help our loved ones – not fix them, because that's not something we can do. Like I remember learning in treatment, we can't change other people, only ourselves; trying to change others is just a recipe for disaster.
Seeing as how it was our first session, much of the time was taken up telling short versions of our stories and reasons for being there. But at the end, we did get to cover some things, and I think, most importantly, we covered some very good advice for those supporting people with BPD. First, as support personnel (shorthand for family, friends, or loved ones), we should always try to take the things our loved ones say in the most benign way possible. A lot of the time, what they are saying isn't about us; it's a reflection of what's going on in their heads. Taking things too personally just ends up in a messy situation. Second, there isn't one absolute truth; while a loved one might, in a moment of anger, says he or she hates you, we know that in the long run they love us – the hatred being voiced may be true at that second, but not overall. Third, we are all doing the best we can in the moment; never assume that our loved ones are trying to scare us off, drive us away, or manipulate us – they're just trying to deal with life the best way they know how. If we can help them with that, then we should do so. Finally, we can always do better. Nobody's perfect, and every time we interact with our loved ones is a chance to do things better than we have before.
There's a lot of things I hope to learn at this class, and I hope that my own experience with mental illness can help the people there who haven't had the exposure to treatment that I have. I know that there are tons of things I can learn from them, because they have had so much more experience with BPD, and had to deal with it for much longer. I also hope that what I learn from this class can help me to be a better friend – and possibly more – for Calla, and others I know with BPD.

All sorts of things inspire me-music, dance, drama, film, and visual. And here are some of my favorites:
- "To Everything There is a Season" (based on Ecclesiastes 3)–I particularly fond of this version by Ed Harris. The arrangement is amazing; I sang it in college and still find myself humming it today. There is another version based on the scripture, Turn Turn Turn, by the Byrds. Either version conveys the true message of Ecclesiastes3 beautifully.
- "It is Well with My Soul" (1873)–This song comes from Horatio Spafford. After learning his family was lost at sea, he penned these words. The music was added in 1976 by Philip Bliss. I invite you to listen to it from Spafford's mindset; it gives the song a whole new meaning.
- "You Make Me So Very Happy" (1968) by Blood, Sweat, and Tears–I sing portions of this to my boys. We replace Baby with each other's name. It's lots of fun!
- "My Favorite Things" (1965) music by Robert Wise performed by Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music–I also sing this song to my boys. My oldest likes "when the dog bites, when the bee stings" the best as I act them out as I sing. Then we list our favorite things. Try it!
- Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) with Jimmy Stewart–A man's struggle to overcome corruption
- Sergeant York (1941) with Gary Cooper–A true story of a man's journey through faith and war
- The Quiet Man (1952) with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara0–One man's search for integrity and love
- Last of the Mohicans (1992) with Daniel Day-Lewis and Madeleine Stowe–Loosely based on Cooper's book, the journey of a white man raised by the noble savage as those two worlds collide during the French and Indian War
- Band of Brothers (2001) with Damien Lewis–A gripping mini-series following the courageous men of Easy Company through WWII
- Search any film, actor, or director at the Internet Movie Database.
The power of pen is great; and though I love to write, I also love to read. I enjoy being transported to another world or understanding my own better. Unfortunately the time to read as I wish is quite often lacking. I try however to read once my children go to bed.
Words can evoke every emotion from us. Here are some of the texts that I have read and my thoughts:
- Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is my favorite piece of fiction, of all time. I read it every Christmas. Austen's use of English propriety and human nature fascinate me. I admire Lizzy so much, her candor, her sense of integrity, and one Christmas I read it and focused on her. I realized that her bluntness only revealed itself when she was attacked. That has been a great lesson for me. I challenge myself to hold my tongue unless I feed the need to defend my integrity. And, who doesn't a like a good romance!
- A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving is brilliance in the use of symbolism. I didn't read this until I was teaching. My classroom had a set and it was highly recommended. It is a lengthy book (600 pages if I recall) and was quite an investment of time as my first son had just been born and I was teaching full-time. Irving's use of symbolism blew me away. It is such a well-written book with twists and turns. The great mystery of the novel is who the father of the narrator, John, is. And the great peculiarity of the book is Owen, a small boy of great faith who knows his destiny, prepares for it, and embraces it. Owen's faith is astounding and John uncovers his father's identity and matures beyond it. There are some unsavory scenes as it revolves around two boys at a boarding school, but well worth it to see everything come full circle.
- The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper, popularized by the 1992 Michael Mann film in staring Daniel Day Lewis. Here is a review of the film and book.
- A Room with a View by EM Forrester is the tale of Lucy, George, and Cecil. A nice little romantic novel set in Italy and England. Here's my review.
- Unbroken: A WWII Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand is the moving true story of Louis Zamperini. They are currently writing the screenplay. So I hope you get to read it before you see the film. Here's my review.

Windows Vista is an operating system that came preinstalled on many computers purchased in 2007 through 2009. On April 11, 2017, Microsoft discontinued offering product support for Windows Vista.
This discontinuation also means updates and security patches for Windows Vista have been abandoned, as well. As updates and security patches are no longer available, computers still running Vista are at significant risk for viruses, malware, and other exploitation.
Also, for computers still running Vista, technical support from most vendors has been discontinued and many applications and devices, such as printers and scanners, may no longer work.
As most computers running Vista are at least eight years old, they are not upgradeable. If you have an older computer running Vista, you should consider buying a new computer. If you need assistance or are not sure how to proceed, Erickson Resident Computer Service is here to help. Please call 800-677-0211 to set up an appointment for an in-home consultation.

3.6. Flow Control
Flow control is very much like that in C++. The entry point into a shader is the function main. A program containing both vertex and fragment shaders has two functions named main, one for entering a vertex shader to process each vertex and one to enter a fragment shader to process each fragment. Before main is entered, any initializers for global variable declarations are executed.
Looping can be done with for, while, and do-while, just as in C++. Variables can be declared in for and while statements, and their scope lasts until the end of their substatements. The keywords break and continue also exist and behave as in C.
Selection can be done with if and if-else, just as in C++, with the exception that a variable cannot be declared in the if statement. Selection by means of the selection operator (?:) is also available, with the extra constraint that the second and third operands must have exactly the same type.
The type of the expression provided to an if statement or a while statement, or to terminate a for statement, must be a scalar Boolean. As in C, the right-hand operand to logical and (&&) is not evaluated (or at least appears not to be evaluated) if the left-hand operand evaluates to false, and the right-hand operand to logical or (||) is not evaluated if the left-hand operand evaluates to true. Similarly, only one of the second or third operands in the selection operator (:?) will be evaluated. A logical exclusive or (^^) is also provided, for which both sides are always evaluated.
A special branch, discard, can prevent a fragment from updating the frame buffer. When a fragment shader executes the discard keyword, the fragment being processed is marked to be discarded. An implementation might or might not continue executing the shader, but it is guaranteed that there is no effect on the frame buffer.
A goto keyword or equivalent is not available, nor are labels. Switching with switch is also not provided.
3.6.1. Functions
Function calls operate much as in C++. Function names can be overloaded by parameter type but not solely by return type. Either a function definition (body) or declaration must be in scope before a function is called. Parameter types are always checked. This means an empty parameter list () in a function declaration is not ambiguous, as in C, but rather explicitly means that the function accepts no arguments. Also, parameters must have exact matches since no automatic promotions are done, so selection of overloaded functions is quite straightforward.
Exiting from a function with return operates the same as in C++. Functions returning nonvoid types must return values whose type must exactly match the return type of the function.
Functions may not be called recursively, either directly or indirectly.
3.6.2. Calling Conventions
The OpenGL Shading Language uses call by value-return as its calling convention. The call by value part is familiar from C: Parameters qualified as input parameters are copied into the function and not passed as a reference. Because there are no pointers, a function need not worry about its parameters being aliases of some other memory. The return part of call by value-return means parameters qualified as output parameters are returned to the caller by being copied back from the called function to the caller when the function returns.
To specify which parameters are copied when, prefix them with the qualifier keywords in, out, or inout. For something that is just copied into the function but not returned, use in. The in qualifier is also implied when no qualifiers are specified. To say a parameter is not to be copied in but is to be set and copied back on return, use the qualifier out. To say a parameter is copied both in and out, use the qualifier inout.
The const qualifier can also be applied to function parameters. Here, it does not mean the variable is a compile-time constant, but rather that the function is not allowed to write it. Note that an ordinary, nonqualified input-only parameter can be written to; it just won't be copied back to the caller. Hence, there is a distinction between a parameter qualified as const in and one qualified only as in (or with no qualifier). Of course, out and inout parameters cannot be declared as const.
void ComputeCoord(in vec3 normal, // Parameter 'normal' is copied in, // can be written to, but will not be // copied back out. vec3 tangent, // Same behavior as if "in" was used. inout vec3 coord)// Copied in and copied back out.
vec3 ComputeCoord(const vec3 normal,// normal cannot be written to vec3 tangent, in vec3 coord) //the function will return the result
The following are not legal:
void ComputeCoord(const out vec3 normal, //not legal; can't write normal const inout vec3 tang, //not legal; can't write tang in out vec3 coord) //not legal; use inout
Structures and arrays can also be passed as arguments to a function. Keep in mind, though, that these data types are passed by value and there are no references, so it is possible to cause some large copies to occur at function call time. Array parameters must be declared with their size, and only arrays of matching type and size can be passed to an array parameter. The return type of a function is not allowed to be an array.
Functions can either return a value or return nothing. If a function returns nothing, it must be declared as type void. If a function returns a value, the type can be any type except an array. However, structures can be returned, and structures can contain arrays.
3.6.3. Built-in Functions
A large set of built-in functions is available. Built-in functions are documented in full in Chapter 5.
A shader can override these functions, providing its own definition. To override a function, provide a prototype or definition that is in scope at call time. The compiler or linker then looks for a user-defined version of the function to resolve that call. For example, one of the built-in sine functions is declared as
float sin(float x);
If you want to experiment with performance or accuracy trade-offs in a sine function or specialize it for a particular domain, you can override the built-in function with your own function.
float sin(float x) { return <.. some function of x..> } void main() { // call the sin function above, not the built-in sin function float s = sin(x); }
This is similar to the standard language linking techniques of using libraries of functions and to having more locally scoped function definitions satisfy references before the library is checked. If the definition is in a different shader, just make sure a prototype is visible before calling the function. Otherwise, the built-in version is used.

3 Great Spanish-language Resources for Catechesis and Evangelization
There is a growing need in the U.S. for solid Spanish-language resources to help spread and teach the Catholic faith. Here are three resources I discovered recently:
1. Blogueros con el Papa. Translated roughly as Bloggers with the Pope, this online group joins bloggers from over 20 countries. Its purpose is to support the mission and the person of the Pope and to evangelize through the Internet and social media. St. Peter the Apostle and St. Teresa of Avila are the group's patrons. My Spanish blog, Comencemos en Caná, recently joined Blogueros con el Papa.
2.Theology of the Body in Spanish. Theology professor Patricio Reidy has a website in Spanish devoted to spreading the message of Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body to Spanish-speaking people throughout the Americas. Reidy also produces short videos, called Minutos, to describe TOB in brief detail to a Spanish-speaking audience. These videos are currently available on the YouTube channel of the Daughters of St. Paul. I've featured one of them here.
3. Lenten and Holy Week resources. The Diocese of Dallas has prepared an extensive list of Lenten catechetical materials for individuals, families, and children. Some materials are specifically geared towards Holy Week and Easter. Others have year-round usefulness, such as The Way of the Cross for children and guides for the Sacrament of confession.
If you find these resources helpful, please share them widely! If you know of other Spanish-language resources, please mention them in the comments.

Van Gogh, Dalí and Beyond: The World Reimagined
The moment I saw the banner for this exhibition plastered over the bridge at Burswood, I squealed like a little school girl in utter excitement. To think that I would finally get to see these exquisite originals by the artists that I studied in my art school years. Artists that I knew and loved finally stepping out of the pages of my textbook like a lucid dream....it's almost surreal (yes, I went there). The headliners for this exhibit were Van Gogh and Dali but in all honesty I wanted to see the works of Frida Kahlo, she is my all time favourite artist and muse in life. Frida Kahlo was a heroine and had the courage, determination and talent like no other female artist of her time. Her subject matter spoke to me and her unwritten emotions always struck a chord whenever I studied her works. Even until today she is the only artist that can evoke a immeasurable level of inspiration-- my only true muse. I was in awe after strolling through the gallery, it was a very solid collection and the works were cohesive and had a consistent rhythm. Making my way through the maze of colours and dreams I finally found the holy grail. My heart was pounding wish a rush of butterflies....I lost my words. All I felt was a cocktail of emotions, happiness and excitement but also emptiness. The despair, pain and sadness of Frida was only fingertips away from me which will be forever etched underneath my skin like an invisible tattoo. If I had to be frank, I was a little disappointed that there wasn't another Kahlo work in the collection but one can't be too greedy when it comes to art...everything in small doses. My overall verdict for the exhibit would be "highly recommended" and worth the visit especially if you have never been to MoMa. It's a great chance to see some of the classics in Modernism as no words can describe the feeling of witnessing an original artwork in the flesh. Each brush stroke whispers the sheer labour and talent that went into creating a masterpiece that would be remembered forever and will remain to echo through time. You can purchase tickets from the Art Gallery of Western Australia via Ticketek, the exhibit ends 2 December 2013.

I coach individuals at a personal or professional crossroad, and consult with organizations in health care, education, and financial services. Track record of increasing success rates for doctors and patients, educators and students, and financial advisors and clients.
Patients diagnosed with serious illness frequently struggle to navigate the healthcare system, and the consequences can be disastrous. I use my resources and connections to help patients obtain the best possible care and achieve the best possible outcomes. Dozens of studies demonstrate that my patient support program at UCSF has been associated with improved treatment choices and outcomes. We have achieved better outcomes by increasing patient engagement, knowledge, question-asking, and information recall; and by reducing anxiety, distress, decisional conflict, and regret. Now you too can benefit from SCOPED, SLCT, and the Iceberg Method in your quest for the best treatment.
Learn how to flip the marketing funnel with the inventor of SCOPED, SLCT, and the Iceberg Method. You'll implement a customer listening system to identify the client's real agenda (below the tip of the iceberg). You'll create attention-grabbing solutions to the real problems, and circulate them among clients and their peers. Studies show that this systematic approach to word-of-mouth and relationship marketing has been associated with a reduced cost of sales and increased client enrollment rate.
If you are stuck, or coming to a crossroad in your life, you deserve a proven, scientific approach to achieving better outcomes. Using evidence-based strategies, I will help you navigate your way to success. In scientific studies, SCOPED, SLCT, and the Iceberg Method have been associated with more informed decisions, lower anxiety, lower decisional conflict, and lower decisonal regret. Special focus on navigating your academic and professional crossroads so you find success in your career. I run a service learning internship at UCSF where I have mentored hundreds of students from elite colleges around the US, who have gone on to professional training at the most competitive institutions, and success in their careers. Studies show that my approach to professional development has resulted in improved professional performance and satisfaction for my trainees. Now you too can benefit from SCOPED, SLCT, and the Iceberg Method in your quest for better training, a better career, and a better life.
Learn how to improve patient and family experience and outcomes when dealing with a serious illness. Studies show that my patient support program at UCSF has been associated with improved patient and professional outcomes. Now you too can use SCOPED, SLCT, and the Iceberg Method to improve your patient and professional experience. Patients experience better care. Professionals experience increased productivity and job satisfaction.
Focus on key drivers of organic growth: client attraction, engagement, retention, consolidation, and referrals. In my first public training program, eight financial advisors added an average of $11 million in assets under management in 10 weeks. In private consulting engagements, advisors have increased their close rate from 22% to 48%; increased their consolidation rate from 26% to 37%; and reduced their sales cycle from 15 weeks to 15 days. Now you too can leverage my research-based approach (SCOPED, SLCT, and the Iceberg Method) for the benefit of your clients and your practice.
I respect and appreciate Jeff's advice, thoughtfulness and generosity of spirit. He is willing to take his time to give you an honest opinion in the context of a worldview that is compassionate and geared to help you obtain the business results you desire. Thank you Jeff!
Jeff made every minute count on our 30 minute call. He was able to quickly identify my underlying sources of motivators and inhibitors. It was very helpful to see my diagnosis on a short but comprehensive document. Jeff does not shy away from putting you out of your comfort zone while simultaneously giving you reassurance. He is knowledgeable about a wide range of resources (academic and pop culture) that helped me think through new territory. Talking to Jeff was just the kick-start I needed!
Jeff was extremely helpful in the problem that I have. I will schedule to speak to him again.
Jeff took the time to listen to my project and quickly gave me some advice and pointers on how to proceed with talking to my professors. He was able to gave very honest and practical advice on how to push the project forward!
Jeff provided extremely helpful insight into the scribing process physicians have adopted to maximize their time with patients, yet capture important clinical information about the visit. Although my current focus is on the impact for physicians, I learned a great deal about the growing need for patients to have an accurate summary of their visit that can document goals and decisions. Our call was extremely helpful to the research I am doing on this topic.
Jeff was very informative and helped identify several areas where we could improve and refine our processes. His advice is invaluable and we look forward to utilizing his expertise to advance our business to the next level.
Jeff is extremely helpful in many ways. He helped me gain clarity about a major decision-point in my life/health. He provided accountability via our scheduled calls. "Homework" in between our calls was focused & useful. He connected me with resources who then connected me with clinical trial options. He helped me to sharpen my questions for the docs which provided me with more clarity & also focused the consultations. He is a "compassionate scientist." I highly recommend working with Jeff.
Jeff provided excellent actionable feedback on my product concept and business direction. He was direct, honest but congenial. He referred me to books/concepts to look into that could help me better define my vision. I also appreciated that he used his own experiences in his feedback. I hope to get further guidance in the future.
I have been at a very serious professional crossroads. Jeff was able to home in on my specific challenges in identifying the right clients to benefit from my services, and offered immediately impactful solutions. He helped me get back in touch with the parts of my job I love, while also helping to gamify / eliminate the stress inducing areas. I now feel I can transform my business into an enjoyable and sustainable one. Jeff is clearly a superior problem solver, and I very much recommend him.
Jeff is a thoughtful and empathetic teacher of strategic and rational decision-making, and we are gaining a lot from our coaching process, including ideas that can be adapted to facilitate decisions and thinking in other areas of life or business.
Jeff has developed a thoughtful and well-tested process for communicating with current and potential clients. The goal is to help clients surface their key issues, so that advisors can focus on solutions that best meet their clients' needs.

iPhone 6 from £15 or iPhone SE from £10 when you join Sky TV
Sky always likes to get its customers using as many of its services as possible, and it's currently offering a nice little perk.
Anyone renewing their contract for Sky TV or joining it for the first time will be given the rather juicy carrot of an iPhone for just a tenner a month.
The bargain basement deal relates to the iPhone SE, and even gives you the phone itself free of charge. The 18-month minimum rolling contract includes 500MB data with unlimited calls and texts.
The iPhone SE features a 12MP camera with 4K video at 30 frames per second, and has a four-inch Retina display. Based on the A9 chip, it comes with iOS 11 and has Touch ID for secure authentication and Apple Pay.
For new and re-contracting customers who want a bigger screen, Sky's suggesting the ever-popular iPhone 6, again with no up-front cost and a minimum rolling 18-month term. This, too, has a discount price of just £15 a month.
The phone features a 4.7-inch Retina HD display, Touch ID fingerprint identity sensor and an 8MP iSight camera with Focus Pixels. It's based on an A8 chip with 64-bit architecture, all squeezed into a 6.9mm thick package.
Rollover unused data for three years
Both of Sky's iPhone deals allow you to roll over unused data and stack it up for as long as three years, and you can also share it with up to four other SIMs on your account.
The deals both include £5 a month for the data, and cost a fiver a month more if you don't want to re-contract to Sky TV.
Sky TV itself currently costs a minimum of £20 a month for 18 months. This covers the Entertainment package, which gives you 369 channels, with 19 in HD. You can add on various extras like Cinema, Kids or Box Sets starting from another fiver a month.
Entertainment plus Cinema costs £30 a month, and Entertainment plus Sport is £40; in all cases, there's a minimum £20 set-up cost.
New customers will have to call the company on 0800 759 1559 to get signed up for the iPhone deals, while existing customers wanting to renew their contract can just sign in online.
You're unlikely to find an iPhone anywhere else at such a rock-bottom price - most deals on the SE hover around the £18 to £25 per month mark, and plenty have an up-front cost too.
Meanwhile, with newer iPhone models stealing centre stage, the iPhone 6 has dropped substantially in cost since its 2014 launch, but basic monthly tariffs are still much the same as for the SE.
In other words, if you're ready to sign a new contract for Sky TV or fancy joining it for the first time, then these Sky iPhone deals are fantastic value for money.

Commercially driven advice which works for you.
Specialist knowledge of FCA investigations and regulation applied in a pragmatic manner with the benefit of specific industry experience.
The overwhelming majority of commercial disputes are resolved without a final Court hearing. The reasons for this are varied and can range from disproportionally large legal costs to parties considering litigation to be diversionary in nature.
Wide experience of member directed pension schemes, acting for a SIPP administrator and trustee to IFA's and scheme members.

Are you ready for 9 December 2019?
Firms will need to identify which SMF's apply to their individuals, assign Prescribed Responsibilities, prepare Statements of Responsibilities, implement the Certification regime, give training in the Conduct Rules and update their reference procedures.
SIPP administrator defends breach of statutory duty claim for storepod investment arising from activities of an unregulated introducer. FCA intervenes in determination of scope of arranging investments and COBS cusotmer best interests duties. Long awaited judgment expected by mid-November 2018.
Back to the drawing board for HMRC following its loss in a Tribunal case involving in specie contribution of assets?
Court of Appeal allows an appeal challenging the enforceability of a non-disclosure agreement. The court says the agreement is unenforceable as being unreasonable in its restraint of trade, and discharges an injunction granted by the High Court.
Claimant succeeds in part of his appeal - the Employment Appeal Tribunal holds that it was wrong to conclude that the failure by the Respondent company to hold an internal appeal did not make the dismissal unfair.
Our client was an appointed representative IFA. His agreement with his principal contained widely drafted indemnity provisions in respect of claims made against that company.
This matter involved an entity regulated by the Financial Services Authority (now Financial Conduct Authority) which had been subject to a monitoring visit by FSA in relation to redress for mis-selling of personal pension policies from defined benefit schemes.
A syndicated SIPP member had a 50% interest in a commercial property, the rest being held by two other SIPP members on an equal basis.
This was a hybrid case; involving part of the business being run as a partnership at will with the rest comprising limited companies.
Stuart Brothers, the firm's principal, is a leading financial services solicitor with vast experience in advisory and contentious work.
Stuart's practice areas include:
Stuart started his post-qualification career at Eversheds and later joined the in-house team at Pearl Assurance (then part of the AMP Group). He initially served as in-house counsel dealing with LAUTRO/PIA compliance prior to the formation of the Financial Services Authority. That work included the SIB pensions review into transfers from occupational pensions – a topic which is the subject of much debate over 20 years later, as well as the implementation of the Unfair terms in consumer contracts regulations in 1999.
His interest in regulatory matters resulted in his appointment as managing director of the London Life group of companies which involved him in a review of the bonus policy relating to guaranteed annuitants who did not exercise the open market option. This was followed by a secondment to the group headquarters in Sydney, Australia where he worked on a range of legal matters including corporate governance, senior management apportionment of responsibilities as well as the development of the investments in Virgin Direct and NPI. Upon his return to the UK, Stuart was appointed to a senior management position within NPI.
As Director of the Banking and Finance department of KLegal, the associated legal practice of KPMG, Stuart advised insurers and banks on compliance with the Financial Services & Markets Act 2000 including the scoping of the Regulated Activities Order and the Financial Promotion Rules.
Having set up his own firm, Stuart was involved in the setting up and development of a SIPP administrator/trustee as well as acting for a broad range of IFA's in legal and compliance matters. His intricate knowledge of the FCA Handbook, including COB/COBS rules, resulted in him litigating on issues arising from the sale of interest rate hedging products by investment banks to SME's in the period leading to the banking crisis. Stuart became a pioneer of interest rate swap mis-selling litigation; his work and cases having been covered in the Financial Times, the Telegraph and the Times. He wrote an article for the Law Society Gazette about the FSA review into the mis-selling of interest rate hedging products in July 2012 and also participated in a round table review of the matter for the Law Society Gazette in July 2013. Stuart also gave a presentation on the subject to an all party parliamentary group formed by Guto Bebb MP. Stuart has been heavily involved him in two cases of alleged LIBOR manipulation.
Stuart is an accredited Civil & Commercial Mediator and has a particular interest in mediation as a method of resolving financial services related disputes. He is also a member of the Association of Regulatory & Disciplinary Lawyers, the Financial Services Lawyers Association and the Association of Pensions Lawyers.
What differentiates Stuart from other lawyers is his involvement in the management of financial services companies and the combination of this senior management experience along with his legal knowledge.

Encon goes Back to School
17th June 2016
Thursday 16th June marked the completion and official opening of a special collaborative project at Willows High School in Cardiff, previously featured on Channel 4's much acclaimed documentary series 'Educating Cardiff'.
Alongside a host of trusted names in the interiors and construction industry such as Wilmott Dixon, Puma Floors and Forbo, Encon Insulation and Nevill Long were delighted to lend their support to the creation of the Willows High Learning Lounge – a new fit-for-purpose facility, spearheaded by the First Campus Project, designed to encourage greater interaction and engagement between pupils and their wider community.
The design project, to which Encon Insulation / Nevill Long donated a stock of 470 specialist acoustic rated AMF ceiling tiles, has provided Willows High students with the opportunity to learn from professionals, specify and steer their own requirements through focus groups and gain greater understanding of the wide variety of educational opportunities available to them, whilst building a sustainable learning environment for future learners.
Nicola Garnish, Branch Manager at Cardiff commented, "It's been wonderful to be involved in an initiative which invests in the future generations and gives students a unique opportunity to get hands on at all stages of the project."
The Willows High Learning Lounge officially opened its doors on Thursday 16th June

Story about this misheard lyric by: Nic
It was actually my mate who thought the misheard version was right. We argued about it for ages. She was gutted when she found out she was wrong! And I repeat, 'Why would Jesse Lacey be singing about kid's genitalia?!?!' [Ed.'s note: Why would anyone with a conscience?]

The Funny Lyrics:
I hope you choke and die!
Suit yourself
Why They're Funny:
This line just cracks me up! I think it's because it sounds like someone is actually yelling at the singer. Also because he says, 'so don't apologise' just before it. Hahaha, he was so waiting for that apology. Poor jesse Lacey....actually, from the song lyrics...more poo John Nolan! I'd be scared if I were him

The Dirty Lyrics:
Keep the noise low,
She doesn't wanna blow it.
Shaking from head to toe,
While your left hand does "the show me around."
Quickens your heartbeat. . .
. . .You don't recover from a night like this.
A victim still lying in bed, completely motionless.
A hand moves in the dark to a zipper.
Hear a boy bracing tight against sheets barely whisper,
"This is so messed up.". . .
. . .Despite everything he learned from his friends,
He doesn't feel so prepared.
She's breathing quiet and smooth;
He's gasping for air.
Why They're Dirty:
Pretty much speaks for itself.

The Dirty Lyrics:
his eyes give her the up and the down.
His stomach turns and he thinks of throwing up.
But the body on the bed beckons forward

Why They're Dirty:
'the body beckons forward' is referrring to hip movements and 'he starts growing up' could be an innuendo referring to an erection
