The Boyfriend and I were itching to try something new so we headed out to Williamsburg to take a shot at Rye. When we arrived, however, we realized that Rye was on vacation for the week. Since we didn't really have anything else in mind, we walked around until we stumbled upon Juliette. The Boyfriend had read about Juliette as one of NYC's best rooftop restaurants so we decided to give it a try. We were seated on the rooftop right away.
As we looked over the menu, we ordered two glasses of their White Sangria ($8.00 each), which is special for the summer. The sangria was very good – it was bubbly and refreshing. The subtle fruit flavors were very good and gave the drink a very light feel.
We opted to share a few appetizers and one entrée. Our first appetizer to arrive was the Charred Tomato Soup with Mini Grilled Cheese Croutons ($9.00). This was off their specials menu, but I think it appears pretty often. The soup was very creamy and was very filling! The fact that they soaked the mini grilled cheese made the "croutons" super delicious. Next time, I want one just for myself!
Our second appetizer to arrive was the Escargot Maison ($10.00), which features escargots baked in garlic, parsley and anise butter. The snails were a bit on the smaller side but the sauce was very good. I love garlic-rich foods so this was perfect for me. I wish I had some bread to dip the sauce in!
Our third appetizer arrived at the same time as our entrée so I had half and then swapped with the Boyfriend. We decided on the appetizer portion of the Homemade Parmesan Gnocchi ($9.00), which was the perfect portion size. The gnocchi is pan-fried with imported speck and peas. I'm not normally a fan of peas, but the sauce was so good that I gobbled everything up! The gnocchi itself was also super fluffy – some of the fluffiest gnocchi I have ever had.
Our entrée was the Pan Roasted Organic Salmon ($24.00) with scallion whipped potatoes and braised Tuscan kale. The kale was a bit tough but the whipped potatoes were absolutely lovely! They were so light and fluffy. The salmon was cooked perfectly to our requested medium rare. The portion size was perfect to share and really filled us up.
We ended the night with the special dessert of the day – Meyer Lemon Cheesecake ($8.00), which is served with toasted almond topping and blueberry compote. The cheesecake was fluffy and had a faint hint of lemon. It felt like I was eating a lemon pie – but with cheese. The crust for the cheesecake, however, was the best part. The crust was hard and soft at the same time. It had a great texture when paired with the cheesecake.
Overall, I really enjoyed my meal at Juliette. The food was delicious and the atmosphere and ambiance was amazing. Being on a rooftop as the sunset builds a great mood. I can definitely see myself returning later in the fall for some more rooftop dining!

As far as blenders go, this one is the best. I have tried several of them over the years and this blender is the only one that has survived. It works for everything, chopping, blending, food processing. It definitely makes margarita night better too. 😉 Best part is, it's only $49.99!

This weekend we had some amazing worship services at our church. I posted the outline of our special evening worship service here. As I looked back at the weekend there are some things that made the services special.
...for a year our church has been praying for this special day. You could tell the people had been talking to God
...there was a spirit of expectation...people came ready to worship
...because of the prayer there was a unity of the body, everyone was focused on God and not on personal preferences
The potential for great worship services are real each week, if we will all pray and come expecting to meet God.

TOKYO (Reuters) - The Japanese government has signed an agreement to provide about 62.3 billion yen ($809 million) in new climate aid to Indonesia, one of the biggest emitters in the developing world.
The agreement was signed in Jakarta on Thursday by the Japanese ambassador to Indonesia and officials at the Indonesian Finance Ministry's, Japan's Foreign Ministry said in a news release.
Almost all of the money (60.3 billion yen) was provided in the form of low interest loans, mainly to build five geothermal power plants.
The cash will be repaid over 40 years at 0.3 percent annual interest.
According to the World Bank, Indonesia has the world's largest geothermal resources, with nearly 40 percent of known global resources.
It is estimated that the country has 27 GW of geothermal generation capacity.
The cash is part of Japan's contribution to a $30 billion global fund to help poor countries adapt to climate change and cut their emissions.
Japan pledged 1.75 trillion yen in aid, worth $15 billion at the time, although the amount is worth $22.7 billion due to the strength of the yen against the dollar.

Childbirth was
a whispered secret,
passed to a long line of young ears
until it no longer resembled itself.
Pushing him out
with the strength of my own muscles,
into the cold open light
of too many voices.
My trembling body
was covered by a warm blanket.
Like the weather outside,
this bleeding went away
after a few weeks.
And I learned to feed him,
but he already knew
how to consume parts of me
with a smile.
What can I give him
that will not be heavy?
It should be the right piece
of myself.
Small enough not to cast
a shadow.

Having buried the hatchet and happily hyped brilliant music from our Swedish neighbors, we at SOA continue our ungrudging view beyond Scandinavian borders – and proudly introduce you to Oulu-based Satellite Stories.
They just released their new single "Lights Go Low" on Soundcloud which will also be featured on the upcoming album "Pine Trails" (November 1), Satellite Stories sound very much like the Finnish lovechild of Two Door Cinema Club and Kakkmaddafakka. With their jumpy upbeat guitar pop, extremely catchy riffs and lyrics dealing with lost love, they will soon enough fill the rooms of innumerable (not only Scandinavian) indie girlies with their sound.
And although we cannot yet confirm this first-hand, they are said to deliver one hell of a live performance. Which leaves us with one problem: so far, there are no shows announced for Denmark, let alone Aarhus. But dear bookers: it doesn't have to stay this way!
Satellite Stories' first album "Pine Trails" will be released on November 1.

Hag Sameach Ron, I think your work is "Shigaon Shell Muna" I had to ring my brother who lived in Ranana for 20 years to get the words in ivrit. I first visited Jaffa in 1960 with my cousin Giora Rochman who was a Photographic Journalist for Ha Arez, he was an extraordinary photographer and playboy extreme. I was 20 he was 25. Giora was unfortunately killed on the way to interview a Rabbitzen in the Negev by an army truck on the wrong side of the road 2 years later. I'm sure you could find him on Israel Google. Keep clicking your work is a pleasure to the eye. Regards, Ronald

Donovan Mitchell pays back fourth-grade teacher by giving her daughter $25,000 scholarship
Teachers have had a major impact on Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell's life. His mother, Nicole, teaches preschool, and stressed the value of education to Mitchell when he was a young child. Given that relationship, it was no surprise Mitchell was a vocal supporter of teachers during the Los Angeles teacher's strike in January.
[Batter up: Join or create a 2019 Yahoo Fantasy Baseball league for free today]
On Thursday, the 22-year-old Mitchell decided to pay back another teacher who made an impact on his life. Following the Jazz's 117-114 loss to the Atlanta Hawks, Mitchell surprised his fourth-grade teacher's daughter with a $25,000 scholarship.
The moment was shared by Jazz digital sports reporter Eric Woodyard on Twitter.
After the Jazz-Hawks game, Donovan Mitchell has gifted, Naja Brooks, the daughter of his 4th grade teacher, Deborah Peart, with a $25,000 scholarship through his SPIDACARES Foundation in partnership with @adidasHoops and @footlocker. They also received $500 and courtside seats. pic.twitter.com/k0o7Bv2Myg
— Eric Woodyard (@E_Woodyard) March 22, 2019
When presented with the check, Naja Brooks isn't sure how to respond. She's just shocked. Even when Mitchell goes in for a hug, Brooks admits she doesn't know what to do with the giant check she's just been handed.
In his second season in the NBA, Mitchell is averaging 23.6 points and 4.1 assists per game with the Jazz. Thanks to his contributions, the Jazz are 42-30 in the playoff hunt.
As Thursday's video proves, Mitchell's off-the-court contributions are even greater.

Tackling the "Too Hard To" Pile of Marketing Accountability
If you're like us, you probably have one of those piles on your desk that keeps being moved from one corner to another. You know that pile you need to get to but avoid because it will take some real effort to tackle. For many marketing professionals, marketing accountability, analytics and ROI are in this pile. Not too long ago at a marketing conference where Laura was speaking, the organizers had set up round tables with specific topics for discussion over breakfast. Laura was sitting at the measuring marketing ROI (return on investment) table (of course, where else would I be sitting?) which was strategically located right next to the buffet line. While she was sitting there waiting for people to join her, she kept hearing people say, "Oh measuring marketing,that's just too hard." There were hundreds of marketers attending this conference, and about 2 dozen tables of 10 were set to accommodate the early risers. Yet only four other brave souls joined her.
We must stop avoiding this topic and tackle the pile. As Sylvia Reynolds the CMO of Wells Fargo says, "Marketing must be a driver of tangible business results…we must start with the goal in mind and a clear way to measure that goal." ROI is important for accountability–besides being able to justify spending and enable us to run the marketing organization more effectively and efficiently, knowing what is and isn't working helps marketing achieve greater influence and serve in a more strategic role. Various surveys suggest that over a third and as much as 42% of marketing budgets are not adequate enough to achieve the outcomes and impact expected.
Perhaps your organization like many others is in the thick of budget planning. A key part of budget planning is to establish and validate the money you plan to spend. The more aligned marketing is with the outcomes of the organization and the more the plan includes performance targets and metrics, the more likely you will be allocated the budget you need to achieve the expected results.
So what does it take to tackle this Marketing Accountability pile? Here are six affordable steps any marketing organization can take to start whittling away at the marketing accountability and measurement pile.
1. Focus. Nothing of importance miraculously gets done on its own. To effectively tackle the marketing measurement pile will take all of Covey's seven habits: from taking a proactive approach and beginning with the end in mind, that is the outcomes you are expected to impact, to keeping the effort a priority when other things present themselves as urgencies to making marketing measurement a win/win for you, your team, and the rest of the organization. More than likely, you are going to need a cross-functional team to tackle this pile – people from finance, sales, IT, operations, etc. working collaboratively together to define the metrics and hunt down and organize the data.
2. Plan an attack. You know that age old question, "How do you eat an elephant?" The answer being, "One bite at a time." This is true for the marketing accountability and ROI question. If this is a new effort for you, you need to break it into manageable pieces. Quantify your objectives, decide how you will measure them, collect the data that you need to meet the objectives, establish a baseline, gain commitment to the measurement plan, and finally, measure.
3. Get data: "Data is the new creative," declares Stephan Chase of Marriott Rewards. Establishing metrics, determining effectiveness, understanding efficiencies, all take data. Without data you cannot monitor and measure results. And don't assume that you have the data that you need to measure your objectives. For example, if you want to measure how many new customers you interest in a new product, you may find that you need first to determine what a "new" customer is. This may require different views of your existing customer records or new strategies for evaluating.
4. Analyze: Once you have the data, the challenge is to generate insights that facilitate fact based decision making. One of the most valuable applications of data and analytics is in leveraging your metrics. The metrics are what enable continuous improvement as you strive to achieve and set new performance standards. Just looking at numbers doesn't tell you as much as evaluating trends or creating statistical models that help you identify an optimized approach to your marketing efforts. Consider looking at your measurements for what isn't immediately obvious such as what might have happened if that campaign had gone to the three bottom deciles of customers?
5. Use a systematized process: You may need to set up systems and processes that enable you to capture and track results on an ongoing basis. Many organizations put a substantial amount of energy into initiating these programs and then let them fizzle as other priorities surface. It takes both process and discipline to sustain a measurement effort. Systems help you automate a process so that the process can become a manageable part of your day-to-day operations. Today every marketing organization is moving at a breathless pace. Implementing test and control environment can keep you from having a fatal, head on collision
6. Train. Many marketers are unaccustomed to living in a metrics-based environment. You may need to invest in measurement, analytics, as well as data training and skills development. Start by taking a skills inventory. Find out who in the organization has data management, analytics and measurement skills. Decide what skills they need to perform at your expected levels. Develop training that fills the skill gaps. Doing this in-house allows you to tailor to your needs, but consider courses from universities, associations and external consultants to fill out your requirements.
Moving marketing performance metrics from the "too hard to" pile to the "we can do it" pile can reap rewards for the entire organization.

Power Tools-Use with Caution
The results from the marketing performance research recently conducted jointly by ITSMA and VisionEdge Marketing (VEM), and Forrester were just announced. In its 12th year, the purpose of this study has been to understand how proficient marketers are at measuring and managing performance; using metrics, data, and analytics; and communicating marketing's value, impact and contribution to the business. This year's study captured input from more than 400 respondents. The study revealed areas in which marketers have made strides and areas where marketers remain challenged.
The result I found most perplexing was that, while marketers have access to more data than ever, leverage more analytics, and invest in more tools and systems, they continue to struggle to prove marketing's contribution to the business. One clear indicator of this is that just 9% of CEOs and 6% of CFOs use marketing data to help make strategic decisions. Less than 10%! Although the majority of the marketers regularly produce and share a marketing dashboard, they are not bringing valuable, useful information to the table.
So where's the disconnect? If you want your leadership team to understand how marketing is moving the needle in terms of top line revenue, market share, customer value, category ownership, and so on then the dashboard needs to be able to tell that story. Unfortunately, it appears that most marketers participating in the study use their marketing automation (MAP) or sales automation (CRM) systems to create their dashboards. In fact, dashboards and reports are already integrated into many of these systems. These dashboards, however, typically report on marketing activity and associated costs – email activity, website activity, social media activity, lead activity- rather than reporting on metrics executives can to set direction. It's not that these reports and dashboards are bad; they are valuable when used to support tactical decisions, but if you want your CEO, CFO and other members of the C-Suite to use your dashboard it must clearly connect marketing investments and initiatives to business outcomes and results.
The ability to push a button and generate a pretty report that doesn't add any value to the strategic decisions made at the C-Suite level doesn't serve marketing well. To be on the right track, you need to start by making sure the marketing initiatives and investments are clearly aligned to business outcomes and that you have the right metrics in place. Otherwise, investing in better marketing tools is akin to buying a power saw when you have yet to master a hand saw. You have the ability to do more damage faster.

Marketers are Operationally Proficient but Strategically Stalled
Preliminary findings from the 2013 Marketing Performance Measurement Study we conducted with Forrester and ITSMA.
How Vulnerable Are You to Customer Defection?
In this article, you'll learn…
- Five factors for maintaining successful customer relationships
- How to identify your most vulnerable customers
- How to calculate your company's vulnerability index
In the early '90s, the term "customer relationship management" (CRM) joined the marketing lexicon. Though the idea is often thought to refer to the implementation of some kind of technology, the real idea behind CRM is that the management of customer relationships is a business imperative.
CRM is about deciding which customers or segments to target, and then developing customer acquisition, retention, and growth plans that will attract and keep your best customers. CRM is really about making your customers the heart of your business.Our job as marketers is to acquire, grow, and retain profitable customer relationships to create a sustainable competitive advantage.
How do you measure customer relationships?
We've all come to accept that creating customer loyalty is an integral part of any organization's strategy and focus. Various factors influence the success of any customer relationship initiative.
Here are five critical success factors:
1. Clearly defined business outcomes related to customer acquisition, retention, and growth
2. Agreement about who the customer is and what they want and need from your category (and you)
3. Well-defined customer segments (and their desired behaviors) and customer-experience objectives
4. A documented, integrated customer strategy
5. Explicit measures of success, and the data and processes needed to support the metrics
Customer satisfaction and loyalty are two of the most common measures of success. A variety of models are used to measure and quantify customer loyalty, ranging from simple recency and 2 referral models to RFM and customer lifetime value models. Recent research is examining those models to ascertain which, if any, truly measure customer loyalty.
Many organizations would agree that a loyal customer…
- Stays with the brand despite competitive offers, changes in price, negative word-of-mouth, and product failures
- Increases business/engagement in some way
- Actively promotes the brand to others
Though there are many approaches to measuring customer loyalty, one metric that many
organizations should consider is the Vulnerability Index.Add the vulnerability index to your marketing KPI's. A vulnerability index serves as a way to measure loyalty in the face of competitive pull. Its purpose is to help you identify your most loyal customers—those who are going to stick with you through thick and thin.
To calculate your vulnerability index, you will need excellent market intelligence about your
competitors' campaign's channel, offers, and markets. Once you have this information, follow these seven steps to construct your vulnerability index:
1. Map the competitive activity. Include the competitor's name, offer, duration of offer, and the offer's focus area and market.
2. Generate a list of loyal customers in the market where the campaign ran.
3. Map their repurchase and engagement cycle based on frequency and last purchase date.
4. Isolate all the customers whose repurchase or renewal dates fall within the competitor's campaign period. This is your observation set (OS) and the set of customers who will experience the greatest competitive pull and are, therefore, the most vulnerable.
5. Define your observation period, which is generally the campaign launch date and one purchase cycle after the last date of the competitor's campaign.
6. Monitor the purchases by vulnerable customers. Track all the customers whose purchases drop during the observation period. These customers constitute your vulnerable set (VS).
7. Calculate the vulnerability index. Divide your VS by your OS and multiply that number by 100:
Vulnerability Index = (VS/OS) x 100.
The index will give you a good idea of the proportion of customers who are succumbing to
competitive pressure and some idea about the level of loyalty in those customers. If the index is high, you know that there is something to worry about. If the index is low, you can assume, with some degree of certainty, that your customers are exhibiting robust loyalty to the brand.
Because Marketing is charged with finding, keeping, and growing the value of customers,
customer retention falls within the domain of marketing. Therefore, marketing organizations
should have at least one objective aimed at retaining customers. In addition to monitoring customer loyalty and advocacy and customer churn, Marketing should also keep tabs on customer vulnerability. If your vulnerability index begins to climb and exceed that of your competitors, you can anticipate that your defection rate is going to increase. By monitoring your vulnerability index, you will know who your most loyal customers are, and you will be able to develop and implement strategies to withstand competitive pressure.

It is hard to believe that the boys only have three full days left here at Asto Wamah! Everyone is still upbeat and making the most of the experiences offered here at Columbia Lake. In order to give them lots of energy for the day, our wonderful cook served us english muffins with cereal for breakfast! Many campers dashed to the dessert table as oatmeal was offered as an option as well.
Finally, a full day of sunshine! Everyone was eager to get into the water this morning for classes. With only a few classes left, swimmers worked extra hard today to perfect every stroke. Boaters soaked up the warm sun and many classes went on adventures to Hungerford Cove and Frog Island. Rowing to those two locations are special occasions as they are outside our camp boundaries. However, there wasn't a lot of wind today so many teachers got permission to make the trip! Pillows are very popular in arts and crafts, some campers may even be surprising their parents with a few homemade gifts! Sports classes took advantage of the dry A-field and were playing games all morning!
Today at lunch we had a new meal at camp! Campers were very lucky to have homemade mac and cheese alongside fish sticks and green beans. With their stomachs full, campers returned to their cabins for a peaceful rest hour. Re-energized after their rest, everyone went in for general swim. The water was beautiful today and many campers were impressed that they could see the bottom of the lake from the top of the tower!
Counselors had quite an array of games set up for the campers for activity period! Campers were seen leaping off the tower, taking a ride on the Hunter or sunfish, rowing around Columbia Lake, playing soccer or basketball on the A-field, and even fishing from rowboats. Although there were no fish caught today, many campers had a lot of nibbles!
Dinner couldn't come quickly enough for the hungry campers! We all enjoyed chicken fajitas with chips and applesauce as sides. Tonight for dessert we had one of camp's favorite: apple crisp! Although many campers were full from the fajitas, many begged for seconds of dessert!
Tonight we have a special evening program! Our amazing LT's (counselors in training) are putting on a carnival for all of us tonight. They are up on the A-field now setting up games for everyone (including a station that gives an extra dessert of ice pops!). They have been secretive about the theme of the carnival but many campers have been speculating that it will be Olympics themed! Everyone is very excited to see what they have in store for us this evening.
As the session is beginning to wind down campers are more enthusiastic than ever. Many first year campers have expressed a lot of interest in coming back for years to come! It is so admirable of them to try out a sleep away camp, it is not an easy thing! However, everyone has adapted so well and added their own special touch to camp. We are so thankful here at Asto Wamah!

The pyramids were built as burial places and monuments to the Pharaohs and their families.
Egyptian pyramids are the most famous pyramids in the world.
The three pyramids in Giza Necropolis are the most famous Egyptian pyramids but there is about 140 pyramids in total that have been discovered in the area of the Ancient Egypt.
These famous monuments of Ancient Egypt were constructed from about 2630 B.C. until about 1530 B.C.
The oldest Egyptian pyramid is believed to be the Pyramid of Djoser, it was built in Saqqara around 4650 years ago (2640 BC).
Egyptian Pyramids often contain multiple chambers and passages.
Although many people associate pyramids with hieroglyphics,there have been no writing or hieroglyphics found inside the Great Pyramid of Giza(the oldest and largest of the three).
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and largest of the 3 pyramids in the Giza Necropolis.It is also the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
The Great Pyramid of Giza held the title for the world´s tallest man-made structure until the Lincoln Cathedral was built in England in 1311.It held the record for an incredible and unparalleled 3871 years!
The pyramids were originally covered by casing stones made of highly polished white limestone. These stones reflected the sun's light and made the pyramids shine like a jewel.Some of the casing stones that once covered the structure can still be seen around the base.
While the enormous heat outside,the temperature inside the pyramids actually stays relatively constant,around 20 Celsius(60 F).
Almost all Egyptian Pyramids are located on the west bank of the Nile.

|Electromigration in Pb – Free Solder: A Power IC Perspective
|Keywords: Electromigration, Power IC's, Pb - Free
|Over the last few years, Pb-free solder interconnects have been significantly incorporated into electronic products, and are increasingly found in high performance computing systems and in power electronics. As power and current levels increase, the overall reliability of a Pb-free solder based product can be impacted by an increasing risk of finding electromigration (EM) degradation during the product lifetime, especially if operating at higher temperatures and with very high current densities. This presentation will provide a high-level technical overview of Pb-free electromigration and describe the key factors and issues that can influence the EM performance of Pb-free interconnects, especially in power packaging environments

Improving obesity prevention and management in primary care
The 5As Team (5AsT) Program aims to improve obesity prevention and management in primary care. The interdisciplinary research team, led by Drs. Denise Campbell-Scherer and Arya Sharma, partners with healthcare professionals, educators, and patient advocates to conduct collaborative research that has real-world impact.
The central clinical approach of this program is the 5As of Obesity Management™ (the 5As: Ask, Assess, Advise, Agree, Assist), which consists of a suite of resources and evidence-informed tools developed in collaboration with stakeholders and the Obesity Canada. The framework, tools and resources, have been further extended for use in primary care by the 5As Team Intervention Project. These tools incorporate the Canadian Obesity Clinical Practice Guidelines, the conceptual structure of the Best Practices in Weight Management, and the 5As methodological framework to improve practitioners' willingness and efficacy in providing obesity management and counseling.
A description of our research projects and our tools and resources can be found in the links below.
Working together with front line healthcare providers, the research team developed an intervention aimed at changing provider behaviour around obesity prevention and management. The intervention was found to be effective in addressing provider-identified gaps and lead to increased confidence in conducting obesity assessments and interdisciplinary work. Integration of new knowledge required that providers change their own mental models of their practice and increased success was achieved when the entire team developed a new way of working together to integrate their different roles to support patients and each other. This work has resulted in the 5AsT toolkit which consists of tools and resources to help support clinicians in their practice.
The following learning modules were created during the course of the 5As Team Intervention Project. The topics addressed in each module were identified by frontline healthcare providers as being areas where they felt more education and training was needed in order for them to provide better care for their patients living with obesity.
In most of the modules you will find:
- A video presentation from an expert in the field
- A copy of the PowerPoint slides to help you follow along with the presentation
- A discussion guide to help facilitate further reflection following the video
- A list of tools and/or resources for additional information
- Obesity Management presented by Dr. Arya Sharma
- Weight Bias presented by Dr. Mary Forhan
- Emotional Eating presented by Ms. Robin Anderson
- Clinical Assessment presented by Ms Wendy Boychuk
- Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Obesity presented by Dr. Rhonda Bell
- Culture, Food, and The Body presented by Dr. Helen Vallianatos
- Weight Gain Prevention presented by Dr. Denise Campbell-Scherer
- Sustain the Change presented by Dr. Stasia Lucki
- Depression, Anxiety and Obesity presented by Dr. Brian Stonehocker
- Critical Conversations presented by Dr. Chandra Taylor, Ms. Carlene Johnson-Stoklossa, and Ms. Pam Hung
The research team explored patient perspectives on the role of primary care in obesity management in an effort to better understand what patients want and to develop more effective management strategies. Findings of this qualitative study revealed patients want their family physician to have these discussions with them and they want to have a personalized assessment and plan.
In this project we partnered with patients and healthcare providers to explore how to achieve personalized, meaningful conversations about obesity. The goal was to develop an approach to obesity assessment and care planning that builds on a shared understanding of patients' lives and supports people in improving health. We observed patient-provider encounters and explore their experiences of the encounter and everyday impacts through interviews and patient journals. We learned that it was important for providers and patients to explore the patient's story together to make sense of root causes, life circumstances, and emotional aspects of living with obesity. Participants found helpful to orient their care plan on improving whole-person health, recognizing their strengths, learning about the complexity of obesity, and collaboratively planning actions that meaningfully fit with their lives. Through this process patients experienced more hope, confidence, and success in making changes to improve health.
Building on our research around personalized, collaborative consultations, this project focused on refining some of the existing tools developed by the 5As Team research program to support collaborative conversations between patients and care providers. A co-design approach was used to improve the efficacy and applicability of the tools. We used personas, role playing, dialogue prompters, and prototypes to foster collaboration and communication between patients, health professionals and researchers. The tools need to help us understand the uniqueness and complexity of each case: the person behind the medical conditions. The tools should foster iterative inquiry to understand the patient's circumstances to tailor treatment and care.
The 5AsT-MD course is a comprehensive educational program that provides care providers with knowledge and training in obesity prevention and management. The course combines interactive lectures with experiential learning including an experience with a bariatric simulation suit and standardized and in-clinic patient practice. Evaluation of our pilot study, shows improved attitudes towards people living with obesity and improved confidence in weight management practice. The course has now been implemented with residents in family medicine, pediatrics, psychiatry and internal medicine at the University of Alberta and, under the direction of Dr. Sonja Wicklum, has been implemented within the family medicine residency program at the University of Calgary as well. We are now looking to expand our reach both nationally and internationally to bring awareness of the need to create obesity-focused objectives and training opportunities with professional medical boards and associations.
Obesity Management Workshop Manual
Obesity Management Workshop Manual – PowerPoint Slides
Medication weight gain cards, graphs on expectations of weight loss, the 4Ms of obesity management (brochure and desktop cards), patient decision making tools and goal sheets, and information on obesity, physical activity guidelines, weight regulation, and stress and how it relates to obesity.
In order to help us navigate the challenges and roadblocks involved with developing and implementing an obesity curriculum, as well as advocating for changes to accreditation, and licensing exams, we formed an international coalition. The coalition is made up of medical educators, patient advocates, policy makers, interdisciplinary researchers, and healthcare professionals who hold similar interests in the area of obesity prevention and management. Our vision is to identify and bring together champions in the area to create solutions and pool resources that will together pave the road for changes to educational standards.

Plenty of vegan options - the edamame and samosas are vegan. Most of the meat dishes can be substituted for tofu or mock duck. The gobi manchurian is vegan too. Stay away from the Malaysian dishes, fish sauce is used in all of them (acc. to the server).
The menu isn't that easy for vegans to navigate, but the staff are friendly and helpful with that part. I recommend the spicy peanut noodle appetizer.

Nike's Illustrated History of the Air Rift's Success in Japan
Nike's Air Rift has seen success all across the globe, most notably with Japan's adoption of the sneaker sandal since its inception back in 1996. Above, Nike commemorates the 20-year anniversary with an illustrated historical guide of the Air Rift's key highlights in the Land of the Rising Sun. The pictographs explain its initial inspiration spawning from barefoot runners in Kenya, to its introduction into the Japanese Harajuku fashion world and the releases afterwards. What's most interesting is how Japan found love for the Air Rift due to its similarities to the country's traditional "Tabi" footwear, largely in part for its low profile and split toe design. The illustrations conclude with the return of the Air Rift Breathe collection, an updated model with mesh uppers for maximum comfort and breathability.

While there is a large and growing body of evidence on women's economic empowerment, there is a considerable gap in the literature on the most marginalised and how to ensure their empowerment. Better understanding the drivers of economic empowerment amongst this vulnerable subgroup will go a long way in ensuring that they are not left behind in current development efforts.
This report assesses drivers of the economic empowerment of chronically poor women and girls in rural Bangladesh and rural Nigeria. The focus is on drivers related to assets, both intangibly in terms of education, and tangibly in terms of ownership of consumption and productive assets including land.

Gazzda. Coming Home.
There are countless sayings, songs, and poems about home. And they all resonate for good reason. Home generates the warmest of feelings - a comfy sofa for an afternoon nap, a favourite chair, a cosy bed, and of course mum's cooking. In a busy, over-stimulated world, people need a sanctuary more than ever. They need to rest their heads or kick it with friends and family.
Since home is such a special and important place, Gazzda loves to create extraordinary furniture for it. Gazzda helps people build a home they can be proud of… that makes them smile just by thinking about it… that generates a fuzzy feeling when they talk about it… that refreshes them when they rest in it…
Gazzda helps create a place where people can flourish, snooze, and simply… come home.
We love the soft organic curves and gentle lines of Gazzda's designs. Choose from sofas, sideboards, tables, chairs and more!

I was basking in the glorious Sun, when that delicate creeper tapped at my feet and innocently smiled, said it's called Love.
It promised me sweet smelling blossoms everyday, its weightlessness around my body, if I nurtured it with attention and caressing kisses.
I embraced it with open arms.
I noticed it grew stronger, filling me with pleasant joys at dawn and exotic ones at dusk.
I gave it all the attention I could, the kisses my mouth could offer.
It thrilled me to know that I had a magical creeper, hid it from the world, my very own secret.
So lost I was, in love, I dint realize till one day, it had grown thicker, heavier and coarse.
It stopped blooming flowers, was covered with prickly thorns that jabbed my body. Pain spread to the mind, leaving memories of young love behind.
Yet I held on, reminding love of the sweetness, the promises I kept, the kisses I gave…
I fell short of finishing my sentence, when I saw in wide eyed horror, love had now become a tree vine, so strong, so wide and browned, and it had entwined my throat, narrowed my wind pipe, choked my life out .
Love killed me…Love killed me…

The National Association for Rural Mental Health (NARMH) is a professional organization that serves the field of rural behavioral health. NARMH's membership includes the entire spectrum of the rural mental health community, including consumers, family members, practitioners, administrators, educators, researchers, and policy makers. A unifying force for NARMH has been a focus on rural concerns, which includes a commitment to rural people and those that serve them. This belief that rural comes first has allowed NARMH to concentrate its efforts to improve access, availability, acceptability of behavioral health and substance abuse services and research in rural and frontier areas.
Welcome to the National Association for Rural Mental Health (NARMH) website. Founded in 1977, this association enhances rural mental health accessibility by supporting individuals seeking services, researchers in academia, and mental health providers. Over 57 million Americans live in rural communities nationwide; however, 65% do not have access to a psychologist or a mental health professional. By providing a forum for shared discussion, NARMH creates opportunities in line with our mission: Linking Voices to Promote Rural Mental Health.
NARMH is championed by individuals both within our Board of Directors and our membership community. We continue to advocate for and promote programs which support rural mental health: bringing discussion and change in legislation, funding, and education. Our annual conference, most recently held in New Orleans, frames these conversations and allows for the much needed platforms of growth. We hope to continue to be a voice for rural populations as we explore ideas to reduce mental health barriers, and we hope that you will join in our efforts.
As our voice grows, so does our organization. I invite you to become a member today! A NARMH membership offers access to networking opportunities, education tools, best practice advice, and the chance to help us build a longstanding association. By joining, you will become an advocate for rural mental health on a national level and a part of our continued success.
Thank you,
Jennifer Christman

The Beast Within
I believe we all have a beast within us. It's raw, it's powerful and it's focussed. It's our passion for life. It's our clarity of purpose. It's our true nature. It's the driving force inside us - the fire in our bellies that inspires us to succeed against the odds.
Like all good beasts it doesn't try to second-guess itself – it doesn't hold back – it just goes for it. It doesn't understand diplomacy or compromise – it just gets on with it.
But we're not talking about a dangerous animal here. It's a friendly beast – it only wants the best for you. It's here to protect you and see you thrive. It knows your inner strengths – it understands your unique gift and it wants you to use it. It's here to remind you who you really are and why you're here – to be the best you can be, and to make a difference to the world.
To unleash your Beast is to recognise and accept your raw talent – without ego or judgement. But beware; it can be an uncomfortable, even painful process – because for many the Beast has lain dormant for years. Suppressed from sight to appease polite society, because 'working hard and keeping your nose clean' is more acceptable than 'doing amazing work that makes a real difference.'
I've been through this process – and I'm not going to suggest it was easy. Self-doubt, self-criticism, and loss of confidence are the toughest elements to deal with. Then there's judgement by others who love and support us, but who don't know why we are changing course. We are immersed in the environment we came from, so when we decide to change course because of an intuitive feeling that there's something bigger we're supposed to be doing – it's not surprising that the environment around us might be hostile to the change.
But – boy - it's worth it. On the other side of fear and judgement is a land of opportunity. It's filled with a sense of satisfaction, joy and wonder at what is possible. Work becomes easier, more interesting, more rewarding, more effective, and more fun. In fact it can feel more like play than work – because we're now doing work that we were born to do, rather than work we were qualified to do.

LED Light Sensors
This project is an exploration of color within light. The studies of fabric development explore how an input system can change the color of a swatch. When a surface has the ability to change state it is ideal to use it as an indicator. The final product is a wearable that tracks your heartbeat, temperature, and/or steps while creating an incentive to achieve your athletic goals.T he idea is to create a digital pattern that lights up when the user creates an input through exercise. Light and color are merged with the input of the user's action.

Matt + Jordan | Adam Szarmack Nocatee Wedding Photographer
Matt and Jordan had a beautiful brunch wedding at the Nocatee Cross Water Hall. Jordan was a bridesmaid in a wedding I shot for one of my good friends growing up. (Talking about you Jake Hunter.)
When I first met with them for their engagement shoot, I found out right away that they are two incredible kind and soft hearted people. Their wedding was a blast. Checkout some images from their big day!

Last night I made cake balls and chex mix for a bake sale/blood drive PVCS was having for Christian today. I'll just go ahead and give you the cake ball recipe cause I know you're going to want to try them!
1 cake mix
1 can icing
1 pkg almond bark
Bake the cake; while still warm pull apart cake and mix with can of icing in large bowl.
Form into small balls and freeze for 20 minute or until firm.
Melt almond bark and then dip cake balls; drizzle with sprinkles, chopped up candy canes, etc.
They taste really good and look kinda fancy. However, they are VERY
messy to make. I used a melon scoop so that they had a flat bottom, and after I
took them out of the freezer, I used a fork to hold the ball and then spooned
the melted chocolate over them. You can use any combination of cake/icing
that you like. I used yellow cake and chocolate icing.
I'm getting off relatively easy for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. We're going to Brian's parents house, and I'm only responsible for a corn casserole, sweet potatoes and pie. I'm glad that my sister and brother-in-law will get to be there with us as well.
Happy Thanksgiving!
