Pay hikes in US to lag behind India in '07
High pay hikes in India last year — 7.2 pc across the board — look set to continue into 2007, says a report.business Updated: Mar 13, 2007 15:46 IST
Real pay increase for workers in the United States will substantially lag those in China, India and Eastern Europe in 2007, according to new research from a global consulting firm.
US administrative, professional and senior management employees are predicted to see real increases of just 1.4 per cent as against increases approaching 8 per cent in high-growth economies, said Philadelphia-based Hay Group that conducts annual research on Most Admired Companies for Fortune magazine.
"Much like their colleagues in Europe, US employees will be seeing relatively modest increases in base salaries when compared to the emerging economies," said Iain Fitzpatrick, general manager of Hay Group's US Reward Information Services.
"Projected 2007 increases are fairly consistent with real increases seen in the US over the past several years," the Group said on Monday announcing the results of its Global Pay Day Analysis based on data in 19 job families across a number of industries in 50 countries.
"The wealth created by rapid, focused economic development is resulting in a pay boom for Chinese and Indian workers, who will enjoy some of the largest real pay increases worldwide in 2007," said Hern Yin Goh, director of Hay Group Reward Information Services in Shanghai.
China tops the tables for each of the three job categories, with a predicted 7.9 per cent increase for administrative workers, 7.8 per cent for professionals and 8.9 per cent for senior management.
High pay increases in India last year — 7.2 per cent across the board — look set to continue into 2007. The country boasts the second highest pay increase predictions for 2007, with increases of 6.2 per cent forecast across the three job levels. Senior managers can anticipate a real increase of 6.9 per cent, professionals and administrators 5.9 per cent each.
"Growing pay packets in Eastern Europe reflect continued economic development in the region," said Scott Marlowe, general manager, Hay Group Czech Republic.
"While wages are growing from a much lower level for manual and administrative workers, pay levels for managers are closer to Western standards," said Marlowe. "The lower cost of living in the East means that as the management pay gap closes, senior managers in Eastern Europe enjoy a significantly greater purchasing power than those in the West — ultimately making them better off."
Senior managers in Bulgaria can expect the largest real pay increases of any in Eastern European, at 7.8 per cent; however administrative workers can expect only 4.3 per cent. Slovakia and Lithuania are expecting average increases in excess of 5.5 per cent. Average salaries in Rumania are forecast to see a real increase of 3.1 per cent.
"Employees in Western Europe will start from a higher base level of pay than those in the East, receiving only incremental real rises in the coming year," said Ben Frost, the Hay Group consultant responsible for the research. "The 'new' economies are experiencing much faster salary growth rates than the established job markets of 'old' Europe, reflecting their position as emerging economies."
"In contrast to Europe and North America, workers across South East Asia are experiencing healthy salary growth in both the more developed economies like Singapore and emerging economies such as Vietnam, due in part to low inflation," said Frost.
Workers in Indonesia and Vietnam will see real increases in excess of 4 per cent, those in Singapore and Malaysia, will see real pay increases exceeding 2.8 per cent and 2.7 per cent respectively.
"While salaries continue to rise, in general, salary increases have been lagging inflation," in the Middle East said Vijay Gandhi, director of Hay Group Reward Information Services, Middle East and North Africa.
"This is causing difficulty for companies struggling to maintain internal equity: companies are offering more competitive salary packages for new hires, particularly in managerial and executive positions, where heightened demand for talent from traditional expatriate markets is outstripping supply," he said.
"The combination of economic instability and a changeable political landscape makes for a mixed salary picture in South America. While emerging economies in Asia are accelerating at a rapid pace, economic growth and salary increases in South America lag behind," said Frost.

Latest Spin Doctors Articles
Seminal jam band Spin Doctors will celebrate their 30th anniversary with a hometown show in November.
The initial lineup for the second annual BottleRock music festival has been revealed.
JamBase's Tim Neagle falls in love with The Spin Doctors' music all over again 20 years after his first show.
About Spin Doctors
"There was always something special, from the very first time we played together." Chris Barron says of the Spin Doctors' longstanding musical chemistry. "Even if we don't see each other or play together for a while. It's like riding a bicycle. A bicycle that makes loud, very beautiful music."
On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Spin Doctors' landmark debut album Pocket Full of Kryptonite, the band's four original members-frontman Barron, guitarist Eric Schenkman, bassist Mark White and drummer Aaron Comess-can still appreciate the uncanny, enduring musical rapport that's allowed them to maintain the upbeat energy and restless creativity that first endeared them to their fiercely devoted fan base.
"When you get the four of us in one room, things just start to happen," Schenkman asserts. "It instantly feels like the old days. The identity of the group asserts itself. That's a great feeling, and it reminds us that the four of us belong together."
In 1991, Pocket Full of Kryptonite became both a musical and cultural phenomenon. In the years since, the album has remained a crucial touchstone, both for the band and for its fans. One of the 100 best-selling albums of the 1990s, it's sold more than five million copies in the U. S. and an additional five million overseas. Two decades after its creation, the album remains a compelling distillation of the Spin Doctors' diverse musical interests, and a prime example of a group of musicians seizing a historic moment to make timeless music.
The Spin Doctors are celebrating the anniversary with Sony Legacy's digital release of a special expanded edition of Pocket Full of Kryptonite, combining the original album with a treasure trove of previously unreleased demos, studio outtakes and live tracks. The band is also honoring Pocket Full of Kryptonite with an extended run of shows-their first full tour since the '90s-in which they'll perform the entire album, something they've never done before.
Pocket Full of Kryptonite elevated the Spin Doctors from a grass-roots local phenomenon to a world-class recording act. Such enduring signature tunes as "Two Princes," "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong," "Jimmy Olsen's Blues," "What Time Is It?" and "Forty or Fifty" embody the band's trademark mix of hit songwriting, a funky sensibility and wildly adventurous instrumental acrobatics.
The Spin Doctors honed their performing and songwriting skills during the same vibrant downtown Manhattan music scene that nurtured such homegrown acts as Blues Traveler, Joan Osborne and Chris Whitley. "It was such an amazing scene at the time," Comess recalls. "There was so much great music happening downtown in New York. It was a real family environment, amongst the bands and the fans. And Kryptonite and everything that followed came directly from us developing a following by playing live." "What I loved about being in the Spin Doctors is that we played shows constantly," White adds. "I had been in a lot bands that rehearsed more than they gigged. I hated that. But the Spin Doctors was a whole other level, from confidence and attitude to musicianship. These cats really knew their instruments and had enough confidence to improvise and take chances."
Their incendiary live performances won the Spin Doctors a large and passionate following that routinely packed local clubs, winning the band a deal with Epic Records. In January 1991, Epic released the live EP Up for Grabs… Live (recorded at the now-legendary Tribeca club Wetlands), which set the stage for the August release of Pocket Full of Kryptonite.
The Spin Doctors recorded Pocket Full of Kryptonite at New York's Power Station, RPM and ACME studios with co-producers Peter Denenberg, Frank Aversa and Frankie LaRocka (the A&R man who signed the group to Epic). "I think we were really able to capture the essence of the band," Comess says of the album. "We'd been playing clubs for three years before we made Kryptonite, and we'd probably played every one of those songs 500 times on stage. By the time we made the record, we were able to just go in there and do it. But some of the coolest moments on the record were developed right in the studio, like the whole drum/guitar intro to 'Refrigerator Car.'"
Pocket Full of Kryptonite had been out for nearly a year when the infectious "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" began receiving substantial play on MTV and radio. That exposure, combined with the quartet's tireless roadwork, launched the Spin Doctors to mainstream success, and before long the album was a massive hit around the world, with "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" and its follow-up single "Two Princes" peaking on the Billboard Hot 100 chart at #17 and #7, respectively, and the band receiving a Grammy nomination. In the summer of 1992, the Spin Doctors were part of the first H. O.R. D.E. festival tour, alongside such contemporaries as Blues Traveler, Phish and Widespread Panic. The band was featured on the cover of Rolling Stone, performed on Saturday Night Live, made appearances at Woodstock '94 and England's Glastonbury festival, and opened for the Rolling Stones on a series of North American stadium shows. 1992 saw the release of Homebelly Groove… Live, an expanded version of the Up for Grabs EP, followed in 1994 by the Spin Doctors' second studio effort Turn It Upside Down, which produced the hit "You Let Your Heart Go Too Fast." A road-weary Schenkman bowed out soon after, but the band persevered, releasing You've Got to Believe in Something in 1996, before moving to Uptown/Universal for 1999's Here Comes the Bride. But the group was forced to disband after Barron suffered a rare form of vocal-cord paralysis that left him temporarily unable to sing.
Barron fully recovered his voice, and the Spin Doctors' classic lineup regrouped on September 7, 2001 to perform a warmly received show at Wetlands, in honor of the club's closing. That onstage reunion led the reenergized foursome to return to live performance, and to record a new studio album, Nice Talking to Me, released by Ruff Nation/Universal in 2005.
The current 20th-anniversary tour affords Spin Doctors fans the opportunity to reexperience the body of material that first brought them together. "Going out and playing this record feels amazing, " Comess says. "Records that stand the test of time are the ones that come from an honest place, and this one certainly does just that. It still feels great playing these songs."
"It's been so much fun," Barron adds, "because we haven't played some of these songs in a long time. They're sounding so great and so fresh and strange and new, but at the same time, it feels like we never stopped playing them. We're really enjoying each other's company, having a lot of laughs, and remembering how lucky we are to be in a band that plays so well together. A lot of great musicians go their whole careers without ever experiencing that, so I'm thankful that I get to do this."
"These are the tunes that we started with and the tunes that took us round the world, so to come back and revisit them has been really great," Schenkman states, adding, "It's a thrill when you're riding the horse for the first time, when it's not broken in and you don't know how it's going to go. But it's even more enjoyable getting back on the horse when you know what you're dealing with, and knowing that you're in control."

The delights of people, earth and life can be found intentionally. A sacred space dedicated solely to the love of cupcakes is often tough to find, but the senses are delighted at the artful displays of tiny cakes. Each one is unique. Each cupcake has a story. Yet, most cupcakes share a few common ingredients, if not butter then flour, if not flour then vanilla, if not vanilla then salt.
Lined up row by row, the eyes feast on chocolate, lemon, butter cream, caramel, white, and gluten free. Each one is lovingly designed with swirls or embellishment. No two are alike. Cupcakes from the same bowl and batch carry a different aspect or form from one another. Whether this difference is in the actual cupcake or the slightly different swirl on top, it matters not. Each one has something slightly set apart to offer for the trained eye. Each one carries a flavour with the potential to delight. But this delight is dependent on the person who chooses. To one connoisseur chocolate is preferable to butter cream, to the health nut gluten free is the best option. The flavour or ingredients determine the best suited partner.
Yet, every now and then, someone who enjoys sugar free will daringly take a chance on the sweet. Delighted and surprised lessons come with risk. Or the sweet tooth will choose the reduced sugar and be charmed by the subtle taste.
Our souls crave being fed. We need the hearty weight of kindness, the sweetness of grace, the practicality of realism. With cupcakes our imagination gains weight. The poetry and taste of life are given in each experience. Sometimes we need to be fattened. Not explained or reduced to our caloric intake or nutritional value. Sometimes we need to be enjoyed.
"Give us this day our daily crumb, our ice cream cone, our cherry pie. The slightest things- a walk, a word, a breeze, a passing view- please the soul immeasurably and feed it. A dinner with a hint of imagination and effort, a tree bearing fruit outside the kitchen, a favourite market, an old recipe, can all feed the soul even as they nourish the body.
The health fantasy of food is not enough. That has it's importance of course, but if it is allowed to dominate, especially as we at present imagine it- a medical, scientific, chemical-genetic reduction of the human person to a materialistic object- the soul in food will vanish, and we will have lost one more important source of soul and enchantment in the everyday experience."- Thomas Moore*
Cupcakes are a source of contemplation, of meaning, of creativity. Big impact in a tiny parcel. Reading the ingredient list does not diminish the taste. Knowing the exact compilation does not explain the mystery for the senses. Whether it is Lemon Drop, Strawberry or Peanut Butter, Pumpkin, coffee or Red velvet, each one belongs because it is. Each has the capacity to delight. But it is up to the sampler to decide what will bring joy. One can be a critic, assessing and reducing each cake to a set of prescribed ingredients. One can be a sour face and deny pleasure based on calories or some other reason to walk away. But I hope most take the occasional risk to add the weight of delight to the short walk of life.
People can delight. It's like cupcakes. So many choices, so many versions, many different gifts but we can get the same result back. The surprise of delight and the mystery of imagination. It's all perspective.
*Find this book from Thomas Moore ( The ReEnchantment of Everyday Living) and link in my library. It's EXCELLENT.
A happy song:

Archbishop Charles Chaput joins Bishop Francis Kalabat of the Chaldean Diocese of St. Thomas the Apostle in encouraging Catholics to pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary for her intercession on behalf of persecuted Christians in the Middle East.
Over the past year Christians especially in Iraq and Syria have been forced from their homes and martyred for their faith.
Catholics are asked to include the following prayer for the intention of the persecuted as they recite the rosary:
Mother of God, Virgin Mary, be for us a safeguard from all illnesses and hardships. Through the great love you have for Christ, ask and beseech him to be merciful to us, to give healing to our ailments, to console the downtrodden, and to reunite those who are scattered and to forgive us.

Wednesday April 28, 2010 | What to do with our Trash?April 26, 2010 at 11:12 am | Posted in Coming Up | 8 Comments
One common question for a large and growing region is what to do with the trash. Incinerators are becoming a more common way to dispose of tons of trash daily but the idea is met with mixed results. Recycling is also a way to deal with large qualities of trash, but one company aims to produce useable energy out of the things we throw away. We look at several types of incinerators in our region and the proposal for a whole new way of dealing with our trash.

Some areas of the USA actually export their garbage to other areas of the USA; for instance, major cities such as NYC daily export many tons of garbage to other less crowded states, many of them in The South. Other huge American cities like Chicago, LA, and so on do the same.
The following is an excerpt from an article by Lester Brown (a prominent American environmentalist) called "Throwing Out The Throwaway Economy" wherein the former governor of the state of Virginia tells NYC's former mayor that "the home state of Washington, Jefferson and Madison has no intention of becoming New York's dumping ground":
"One of the first major cities to exhaust its locally available landfills was New York. When the Fresh Kills landfill, the local destination for New York's garbage, was permanently closed in March 2001, the city found itself hauling garbage to landfill sites in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and even Virginia—with some of the sites being 300 miles away. [ED:the state of Kentucky receives a lot of NYC's garbage, also]
Given the 12,000 tons of garbage produced each day in New York and assuming a load of 20 tons of garbage for each of the tractor-trailers used for the long-distance hauling, some 600 rigs are needed to move garbage from New York City daily. These tractor-trailers form a convoy nearly nine miles long—impeding traffic, polluting the air, and raising carbon emissions.
Fiscally strapped local communities in other states are willing to take New York's garbage—if they are paid enough. Some see it as an economic bonanza. State governments, however, are saddled with increased road maintenance costs, traffic congestion, increased air pollution, potential water pollution from landfill leakage, and complaints from nearby communities.
In 2001 Virginia's Governor Jim Gilmore wrote to Mayor Rudy Giuliani to complain about the use of Virginia for New York City's trash. "I understand the problem New York faces," he noted, "but the home state of Washington, Jefferson and Madison has no intention of becoming New York's dumping ground." – http://www.earthpolicy.org/index.php?/book_bytes/2009/pb3ch06_ss4

I get conflicting answers on household battery disposal. Can they go in the trash or do I take them to Foxhole?
Please, please, please pick up recycling weekly. We rarely fill up our trash bin, but go to the recycling center at least once a week in addition to our pick up.
Comment by Peggy— April 28, 2010 #
Why are recycling bins so small? My family and I create 2 to 3 times the amount of recyclables than we do trash. I would like to see recycling bins the size of the trash can.
The company I work for (restaurant) trys to recycle, but the company that collects our trash/recyclables says that they can't handle the amount of recycling we create, therefore we have to throw it out. Thank you for the show!

The Appalachian State University Energy Center has worked on this issue and has assisted in developing "business incubators" that support local artists by burning kilns and heating and lighting the buildings. EnergyXchange.Org is an example in yancey and Mitchell counties.

Question: Why doesn't Charlotte recycle pizza boxes, even if just the lids? When we used to live in NYC (five years ago), pizza boxes were recycled, the only instruction was to remove the oily liner and pizza crusts or any food debris. Does Charlotte suffer a technology lag? Why can NYC recycle pizza boxes, but ours end up in land fill with other trash?
Comment by amy lefkof— April 28, 2010 #
Is biomass more effective at producing energy than extracting methane from landfills (see my last comment about community based landfill projects)?
Comment by Miriam Makhyoun— April 28, 2010 #
Thank you all for your comments. We will be considering a follow up show that focuses more on recycling in the near future. Peggy: Bruce Gledhill told me that they take batteries at all four of their recycling centers. You can learn more about that at wipeoutwaste.com
Amy: Mr. Gledhill also said that the grease in the pizza boxes was an issue and that Charlotte did not have a large enough system to afford the technology to deal with such boxes. I hope that answers some initial questions and perhaps a recycling show soon will answer more.
Comment by Tim— April 28, 2010 #
Incineration destroys resources and perpetuates pollution of the environment. Older incinerators have been joined by new burners claiming zero emissions and so-called "green" energy from garbage, tires, sewage sludge and biomass from farms and forests. While some new incinerator technologies—gasification, plasma-arc, and pyrolysis—may have lower emissions than their predecessors of the 1980's, all of them have smoke stacks that emit pollution to the environment.
For example, Covanta Energy plans to build a waste-to-energy plant in Chester County, South Carolina which could burn 1,600 tons municipal solid waste per day. Even with a state-of-the-art dry scrubber pollution control device injecting lime slurry and a fabric filter, toxic air pollutants from the plant would include Arsenic, Cadmium, Chromium, Hydrogen Chloride, and Mercury emitted after the hot exhaust gases from waste burning pass through the pollution control devices. Based on US EPA data, total air pollution from such a plant would be 1417 tons per year. Carbon dioxide emissions would be 575 thousand tons per year. This carbon dioxide would take centuries to be re-absorbed from the air. Combustion processes are not part of the natural animal-plant respiration cycle and it is wrong to compare them as part of the natural cycle. This is the fundamental flaw common to waste combustion projects no matter if they are dubbed waste-to-energy, gasification or pyrolysis.

Three girls talking in a room. Some people are afraid of so many women together because they may be conspiring especially against men. But not this time. You wouldn't believe your ears if you heard everything that's said in a room with more than one woman in it!
There they were, talking about unimportant things when, suddenly, one of them looked at the belly of the one who was standing next to the doorway and said:
– You didn't have that (pot)belly, did you?
The girl who receives the compliment got visibly upset – I have always thought everybody knew that telling a woman she is overweight isn't a nice thing to do! – Anyway, not satisfied yet, the girl who commented on the other one's belly asked whether she was on diet and, before she had a chance to take a breath and try to explain she hasn't been on a diet any longer, the third one promptly said:
– Yes, of course she's on a diet. The Light Diet, don't you know it?
The other two went quiet for some seconds trying to find out what the Light Diet was, when the third girl explained:
– She turns the light off and eats like a horse!
Everybody burst into laughter, including the girl who was feeling awkward for having been called fat.
Women can be so cruel…

With the rise of modern styles, you might think traditional kitchens are not as popular as they used to be. However, this isn't the case, as the return to a more traditional design is trending right now, and more and more people choose to build or renovate their kitchens using this approach. And it's easy to see why: with a vast range of beautiful inspiring designs to choose from, creating a traditional kitchen is not only an easy process but it will also make you happy to spend time in there.
So what exactly makes a traditional kitchen?
Design Details
The cosy look is one of the great advantages that traditional kitchens offer, and it's the reason many people choose to have one. The overall feeling tends to be homey, with beautiful architectural details that make it look layered, not cluttered. Traditional designs focus on the warm features of wood, such as walnut, oak and maple, all of which give a welcoming look to the space.
Compared with modern kitchens, traditional ones typically have adornments and embellishments, including arches and mouldings. These details give a personalised feel to the kitchen and, combined with rich colours like red and blue, are capable of transforming any kitchen into a vintage, rustic space.
You have a wide range of options when it comes to painting the walls as well, as you can go for pastel colours or bolder choices like strong reds and yellows and even patterns – no matter your personal preference, traditional kitchens are extremely versatile in terms of design, so you can have the colours that best suit your overall look. You can even have exposed brick walls for a more 'countryside' feel.
Furniture and Worktops
Antique (or antique-looking) furniture is the perfect match for a traditional kitchen. Usually with beautiful raised details and glazed finishes, your cabinets and drawers are one of the main ways you can add a vintage look to your interior design. The worktops should also be carefully chosen, as they should give a luxurious feel that immediately catches the eye. Surfaces without shine seem to be popular for this look, and they can be made from quartz, marble and even wood.
Another characteristic of traditional kitchens are the ornate lights. They can be made from materials like brass and crystal, and tend to look decorative as well as functional – this look is achieved by fixtures that avoid straight lines and are instead rich in details.
If you're looking to build or refurbish your kitchen into a traditional style, it's important to consider the little details that make it look so unique, warm and cosy. At Lakeland Kitchens you can get inspired by our vast selection of traditional kitchens and choose the one that suits you best, so feel free to get in touch on 01539 725456 and discuss your project with us.

Blind Chance Review
A young man, Witek Dlugosh (Buguslaw Linda) runs to catch a train which is just leaving the station platform. He catches it and pulls himself aboard at the last moment. But what would have happened if he had missed the train? Blind Chance looks at three different scenarios, three ways in which Witek's life might have played out differently.
In each timeline, Witek's nature is consistent. A medical student, he wants to help people, but who can know the best way of doing that? It is down to fate to push opportunities in his direction. Catching the train he meets a man who helps him get introduced to Communist Party officials, abandons his medical career and hopes to improve people's lives by trying to influence the political situation from within. Missing the train and getting into a scuffle with a station guard pushes his life in a different direction, where he tries to resist the political rule in an underground movement and places his faith in God. In a third possibility where he misses the train, he meets a former medical student, gets happily married and returns to his medical studies – taking neither side in the political situation, directly helping individuals rather than making a universal difference.
In each possible situation he meets different women from his past, meaning that even his love life is also directed by what fate has placed before him – all stemming from a simple situation where he either catches or misses a train. Fate, while it plays an important part in the direction his life takes, does not necessarily change a person's character. Witek remains intrinsically the same person yet in adapting to each situation he couldn't be more different – being either a Comminist Offical or an underground anti-party activist. Kieslowski's great trick is to make each of these possible outcomes perfectly natural and believable eventualities. The director's other great achievement with the film is that he doesn't make one outcome more beneficial or ideal than another. Just as one timeline seems the best direction for Witek's life to take, another twist of fate is thrown his way.
Does fate direct our lives or do we have freewill to make our own choices? This is the theme explored in Krzysztof Kieslowski's Blind Chance, a subject that he would return to in part in No End (1985), La Double Vie de Véronique (1991) and Three Colours Red (1995). All of those films however are rather lyrical in their fantastical content and none them are as clear or as precise in their focus as Blind Chance, a film whose bold, inventive structure and challenging, questioning subject would prove an important influence on European cinema and bring the director himself to a new and wider audience.
Being centred around the political situation in Poland during the late 70's can make the film a bit difficult and it does sometimes distract viewers from what the film is all about. Blind Chance is not a political film – although Kieslowski did have problems with the censors (the film, made in 1981 wasn't shown until 1987) he wasn't particularly bothered by cuts that were requested, because they were nothing to do with the point he was making. It's about making a choice – being true to oneself and one's nature while adapting to whatever situation presents itself. "Everything is important except politics" Kieslowski once said and that is illustrated here. Witek can work for the Communist Party or work against them and it doesn't matter – it's not about which side fate or an accident of birth places you on – it's what you do when you are there that counts.
The picture quality is one of the best of the Artificial Eye Kieslowski releases, which is particularly pleasing for what is considered to be the best of Kieslowski's Polish films. The image is clear and sharp, colour tones are cool, but accurate and there is an excellent level of detail throughout. There are one or two minor marks including one bad scratch-line – but as this occurs during one short scene, it appears to be on the negative. One or two other scenes exhibit slight colour fluctuation, but again, this would seem to be down to the original elements, not the transfer. I also noticed one sharp cut in the middle of a scene. Otherwise there is very little noticeable grain and the image quality is about as good as it should be.
There is little to note about the soundtrack. The original mono track is channelled through as Dolby Digital 2.0 and is relatively clear throughout. I didn't notice any problems here whatsoever.
Subtitles are fine, clear and readable. One or two phrases that look to be relevant are left untranslated for some reason. I don't know why they were omitted or whether they are important or not.
Annette Insdorf Introduction (09:58)
This is much too long for an introduction and as it basically examines the entire film from the first scene to the last, you will want to leave it until after you have seen the film. However, as with all Annette Insdorf's Kieslowski features, it is informative and thorough in examining the film's themes, structure and influence.
Irena Strazakowska Interview (20:41)
From Kieslowski's production company, Irena Strazakowska talks in detail about the difficulties the director had complying with travel restrictions and censorship of his work. She offers an interesting insight into a personal side of the director that few people would know of and some thoughts on Blind Chance and other Kieslowski films presented at Cannes.
Agnieska Holland Interview (05:21)
Holland saw a rough-cut of Blind Chance early on which she felt didn't work at all. Incredibly Kieslowski re-shot most of the film in a matter of a few weeks to obtain the present version.
Workshop Exercises (12:05)
Directed not by Kieslowski, but by a colleague at the Documentary Film Studio, Marcel Lozinski, and photographed by regular Kieslowski cinematographer Jacek Petrycki, Workshop Exercises is a clever little film playing with themes that would be familiar to anyone who has seen Kieslowski's documentary and film work – the nature of accurately capturing reality on film and how it can be manipulated. On the surface a vox-pop asking people on the street what they think of the youth of today, the film edits and overdubs to present different versions of the same material.
A full filmography is provided, covering Kieslowski's short films, documentaries, TV work and feature films.
The influence of Blind Chance is apparent in films such as Peter Howitt's lightweight treatment of the theme in Sliding Doors (1998) and in the rather more kinetic Run Lola Run (1998) by German director TomTykwer, who would go on to direct Heaven (2002), a Kieslowski script filmed posthumously after the director's death in 1996. Kieslowski himself would use many of the devices he tried out here in his Dekalog series – characters from different stories crossing paths in different circumstances, in La Double Vie de Véronique, where two young women, one in Poland and one in France, pursue very different lifestyles, and at the end of his Three Colours Trilogy where fate, circumstance and accident draw the characters from each of the three films to a surprising finale. Blind Chance was where several Kieslowskian techniques and themes were first explored and the effect is just as powerful. The Artificial Eye release of Blind Chance, like all their other Kieslowski releases, is exemplary in terms of quality, presentation and extra features.

The hallmark of our Ashram is the high quality of its Devi Upasakas, a reflection of the dedication of our Guru as a teacher.
Guru Parampara
श्री गुरुः सर्व कारण भूता शक्तिः || Sri Guruh Sarva Karana Bhootha Shakthih || The Guru is the divine Adi Parashakthi
Sri Bhaskararaya (Bhaskararaya Makhin (1690 - 1785) was a great Devi Upasaka. One of the greatest masters and exponent of Sri Vidya, he is revered as an incarnation of Devi Herself. Three of his books are the holy triad of the worship of Devi: Varivasya Rahasya, along with his own commentary Prakasha, Setubandha, his commentary on Devi Mahatmyam called Guptavati is the most critical and authoritative commentary on the text till date. His disciple Maheshvarananda Natha who hailed from Tanjore, is the guru of Sri Kameshwarananda Natha, who is the Moola purusha of our guru parampara.
Sri Kameshwarananda Natha (1835 - 1891)
Guru Sri Kameshwarananda Natha is the Moola Purusha (Kutastha) of our Parampara. He was hailed as an Avatara Purusha and was considered an incarnation of Supreme Mother Goddess Sri Lalithambika . There is folklore describing divine signs like a shower of flowers, a drizzle of rain and lightning at the time of his birth signalling the arrival of a great divine soul. True to this prediction, he became a giant amongst his contemporaries, walking his path like a colossus. He was a Vedic scholar par excellence and performed every conceivable Vedic sacrifice prescribed in the Vedas.
He performed Soma Yaga every year, which in those times was normally done once or twice in a lifetime. He performed Vajapeya Yaga and many other major Yagas. To crown it all, he performed Poundarika Yaga, a very rare Vedic Sacrifice which only a selected few can perform. He also conducted Yagnas for Kings & Chieftains. He travelled the width and breadth of India and conducted a major Yaga for Maharaja of Dharbhanga.
He is revered as a Siddha Purusha - an accomplished soul having very rare and various occult powers at his command. He used to spend six months every year in forests in isolation to do intense penance and meditation to achieve the wisdom of Sages. He would then come back home for the next six months to fulfil his obligations as a Grihastha (householder). He was a Tantric Yogi of a very rare kind. It is said that several times in the midst performing a Pooja, he would go into the Yogic Meditative mode and become fully immersed in Samadhi Yoga for days together. During this period, he would appear completely dead to outside world and fully awakened to inner consciousness. When he came out of the Samadhi state to regular consciousness, he would pick up at the exact place in the Pooja where he had left off. He founded Sri Lalithambika Mutt and temple of Goddess Sri Raja Rajeshwari in Suthamalli Village, situated on the banks of River Tamrabharani in Tamil Nadu, India. The temple has an idol of Lalithambika with a huge Sricharam in front of her. When Narasimha Bharathi of Sringeri Mutt visited the temple in 1906 said it is verily the Kanchi in the North and called it "Dakshina Kanchi". There are 2 Shiva lingas installed by him on the either side of Lalithambika. It is said that right after he did one Soma yaaga, he used to do a pratishta of one Shiva linga next to Lalitambika. We can see 4 Shiva lingas here. It is said he did a 5th one too but did the installation of lingam in another temple in the neighbourhood. This is why he was called Bahu Somayaji. Our parampara is called Suttamalli parampara and Sri Kameswarananda was also called Kovil appa. He also established a Veda Pathasala in the Mutt to impart oral learning of Vedas. He moved to Varanasi later in his life and attained Mahasamadhi there. His prime disciple was Sri Ramananda Natha.
Sri Ramananda Natha (1856 - 1920)
Sri Ramananda Natha, was the Principal of a reputed Sanskrit college in Kallidaikuruchi, Tamil Nadu. Apart from performing all Vedik rituals and Yagnas as ordained in our Shastras, Sri Ramananda Natha was an intellectual giant, a scholar par excellence, a man of very high calibre in Sanskrit who mastered all four branches of Shastras - Mimamsa, Vyakarana ,Nyaya & Vedanta. He was a realised soul, a Jeevan Mukta (liberated soul while living), a Tantric and Vedantic Guru of the highest order. Both a Seer and Sri Vidya upasaka, he was a living example of a rare fusion of theoretical truths of Vedanta made practicable by Sri Vidya Upasana. During Ramananda Natha's period in South India till he departed to Varanasi, he was served and taken care of both physically and religiously with utmost devotion and dedication by his prime disciple, Sri Prakashananda Natha and his wife Sri Vimarshamba. In his later years, Sri Ramananda Natha finally settled down in Varanasi. Kashi Maharaja & other learned pundits patronised him as a mark of respect for his rare genius, wisdom and his intellectual knowledge in Vedanta. He authored an independent Vedantic work namely "Shroutakhandartha Siddhi" published by Kashi Maharaja. He installed an idol of Supreme Mother Goddess Sri Rajarajeshwari in Hanuman Ghat, Varanasi at the banks of Divine River Ganga. He attained Mahasamadhi looking at Mother Ganga in a meditative and tranquil posture.
Sri Prakashananda Natha (1877 - 1962)
Sri Prakashananda Natha was a well-known authority on Sri Vidya, a highly reputed Sanskrit and Vedic scholar and also a sincere and rigorous practitioner of all Vedic rites as ordained in Dharma Shastras. He was a Nityagnihotri, obtained Sanyasa in his later years and attained Mahasamadhi in Varanasi, India. He also wrote "Yati Dharma Pradeepika," an authentic book on all the duties of a Yati (Sanyasi) and Vedic rituals associated from the beginning to the end of a Sanyasin's life. The foreword of this book was written by none other than, Jagadguru Shri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati Swamigal. He passed on total and complete knowledge of Sri Vidya and Vedic Dharma Shastra to his Sishya Sri Vimarshananda Natha - Our Guru.
Sri Vimarshananda Natha (1902 - 1996)
Sri Vimarshananda Nathendra Saraswati Mahaswamigal, who was known as S. Rengasamy Dikshithar before he took Sanyasa, was born in May 1902 in Krishnapuram, a village in Tamil Nadu, India. He started studying the Vedas from the age of 8 in a traditional Pathashala under the direct guidance of Sri Ramanatha Ghanapadigal, a knowledgeable and reputed Vedic scholar of that period. After completion of his Vedic studies in the Pathashala, he was trained in all the Vedic rituals, including grand Yagnas like the Soma Yaga, which is ordained in the Karma Kanda of the Vedas.
At the age of 30, he was initiated into Sri Vidya Upasana Marga by his father Shri Prakashanandanatha, who thus became his Diksha Guru.
Sri Vidya Upasana
Belonging to the reputed and illustrious Suthamalli Parampara of towering masters, it is no wonder that our Guru Sri Vimarshananda Natha is a great master of masters in Sri Vidya Upasana. He also excelled in the Vedic discipline - a benchmark that separates other Sri Vidya traditions from ours. Tantric texts and doctrines are essentially based on Vedas and as such they derive their authority from Vedas. Unless you are conversant with Vedic lore, you cannot fully appreciate the Tantric practices or the values and truths stated therein. Having been proficient in both Vedic & Tantric Systems, our Guru was able to teach correct practices for various religious rites and functions covering a wide spectrum of activities like Pooja, Yagna, Japa and Parayana of various Deities.
He initiated numerous people on Sri Vidya Mantra and it is to his credit that he adopted a flexible and practical attitude to prescribe procedures to practice Sri Vidya Upasana depending upon the temperament , competency, capability, attitude and aptitude of the followers. In fact, rigidity and inflexibility in earlier times made it almost impossible to have access to Sri Vidya Upasana.
He was a perfectionist who always insisted on 100% dedication and commitment. He insisted on correct intonation and pronunciation while reciting Vedas or chanting religious texts. He taught orally the essential Vedic texts, Upanishads, Sri Lalitha Sahasranama, Lalitha Trisati and other related Devi Stotras, Chandi Saptashati Parayana and other essential mantras to his disciples in a most authentic manner.
He performed Sri Vidya Upasana in all its gross, subtle and transcendental forms for a continuous uninterrupted period of 65 years from the age of 30. He performed Chakra Sadhana as prescribed in Nityashodashikarnava Tantra. The Chakra Sadhana involves nine months of uninterrupted Sri Chakra Pooja and Sri Vidya Mantra Japa in its most detailed format. He strictly followed rigorous injunctions and prohibitions per instructions from his Guru. This is a rare feat for any Sri Vidya Upasaka of repute. This made him a Siddha Purusha and conferred him all psychic, occult and supernatural powers.
Establishing Bhaskara Prakasha Ashram
He established Bhaskara Prakasha Ashram as a mark of respect, recognition, remembrance and reverence to the Great Tantrikacharya Sri Bhaskararaya who is considered the incarnation of Supreme Mother Goddess Herself, and his Guru Sri Prakashananda Natha.
He performed and conducted countless Sri Vidya Homams and Chandi Yagnas in many parts of India and initiated numerous people into the path of Sri Vidya Upasana Marga. He conducted the Sahasra Chandi Maha Yagna four times in his Ashram. He performed "Trishati Brahmana Bhojanam," which involved honouring, propitiating, feeding and worshiping 300 Brahmins by invoking in them the 300 names of Supreme Mother Goddess mentioned in "Lalitha Trishati Stotra" just prior to his taking Sanyasa in February 1982.
The prana pratishtha for the first ever Vigraha made for Goddess Maha Shodashi was performed by Sri Maha Swamigal in 1994 in Bhaskara Prakasha Ashram, Chennai. Our Guru attained Mukthi on Mahalaya Amavasya day in 1996 and his Samadhi is consecrated below Goddess Maha Shodashi at Bhaskara Prakasha Ashram.
श्री विमर्शानन्दनाथम् सत्याम्बा सहितम् गुरुं | हृद् पद्म कर्णिकामध्ये भावयेत् सर्व सिद्धये ||

The data that is generated during research is important, but sadly it is often hard to unearth, and there are many challenges around getting the appropriate credit to go to the researchers who make data available.
Another key issue with research data is that it is often expensive to produce, and without good visibility on data as an output it can often end up unloved and can be lost over time. (If even just one research group reuses a data set, the effective utility to the research community of that data set doubles).
Our good friends at the Coleridge Initiative are today announcing an exciting project that has the potential to really make a positive of some of these problems.
This project is a competition for researchers to build tools to help automate the discovery of data sets in the social sciences.
The competition comes with prizes of $2,000 to each of the finalists, with up to $20,000 to be awarded to the winning team.
The deadline for initial applications is the 30th of September.

Frightening voices calling out my name
Something's pushing and grabbing after me
Around tight corners in between
I'm lying
As I try to scream
So I grow up
With a view, no-one had before
I see society
I see the misery
And so I wake up
With hate in my core
I see society
And I see memories
Of the death
I am a child
With the age of twelve
Start consuming nicotine for my own health
I am a teenie, I am sixteen
Start taking drugs now
Cause I can't find another way to escape
The mist of idiocy
Makes them all blind
The dust in their souls is eating through their minds
I'm getting older
And all I see
Are Mindless zombies
Taking pills on the streets
Out of hatred
I'd like to quit
Cuz look at our society, It's a piece of shit
There's no worth
For the truth
Because no-one cares
There's no hope
For all
Just look at yourselves!
No voice, no choice, but giving up
But please, stop haunting, let me out
What are they doing to me?
And I realize, as I start to breathe
To breathe

Don't underestimate the importance of maternity nightwear. I lived in my pyjamas, nighties and anything stretchy, it was just more comfortable. Mothercare have reduced the price of the Minnie Mouse Maternity Nightdress and the Mr Bump one from £18 to just £8. Even if you aren't pregnant yourself, one of these would make a nice gift to that special mum-to-be.
Thinking of what to give birth in, I gave birth in a nightdress like this all three times, so it could be suitable to pop into your hospital bag. The Minnie Mouse one is 100% cotton and the Mr Bump one is a composition of 60% cotton, 40% polyester so I reckon they should keep you cool enough should you need to be.
The Mr Bump one is my favourite of the two as it reads "Bump on Board". Both have a popper opening front to make breastfeeding easier.
Availability is good for the Minnie Mouse Maternity Nightdress but some sizes are out of stock on Mr Bump.
You can click and collect the Minnie Mouse/Mr Bump Maternity Nightdress for FREE or pay £3.95.

Separation of Powers: Framework for Freedom
The U.S. Constitution sets out a system of government with distinct and independent branches—Congress, the Presidency, and a Supreme Court. It also defines legislative, executive, and judicial powers and outlines how they interact. These three separate branches share power, and each branch serves as a check on the power of the others. The Law Day 2018 theme enables us to reflect on the separation of powers as fundamental to our constitutional purpose and to consider how our governmental system is working for ourselves and our posterity.

There were nearly 5 million English language learners in U.S. public schools in fall 2015, according to the most recent available data from the National Center for Education Statistics. This represented 9.5% of U.S. public school enrollees, an increase from 8.1% in 2000.
English language learners (ELLs), a broad term that refers to students with limited English proficiency, are a diverse group from many different states and native language backgrounds. The educational experiences of ELLs also vary greatly across the country, as states and schools differ in how to identify ELL students and in how to teach them. Regardless of approach, ELLs represent a growing part of the U.S. student body. Read more... >>>>>

Human-Centered Design x Impact Innovation
Our process is highly collaborative and adapted to the needs and circumstances of each client, end user and community. You and your stakeholders are as much a part of this process as we are.
Before we explore, we take in our surroundings and gather our bearings. We want to understand as much as we can as quickly as we can about the opportunities, the needs and the people around us. We dig into existing knowledge and connect with subject matter experts to form some early hypotheses. And we try to Unblink, to intentionally examine our involuntary responses, systemic biases, power structures and any obstacles to creating a positive outcome.
One critical resource we consult during this initial phase is data. Traditionally, Design Thinking processes have not integrated data well, and we believe that a modern design approach must fully integrate data throughout the process. Data can provide critical clues and vital support for an initiative. And just as importantly, data can undermine the success of a project and even become a damaging output of a design approach that neglects to take into account its impact on peoples' lives.
The next step in our process is to fall in love, at least a little, with the people we're designing for. We meet them, interact with them, observe them and empathize with them. We need to get a feel for what their lives are like and what it might take to make their lives better. Most Design Thinking approaches emphasize empathy, which means to feel what another person feels. We approach this phase of our process with humility and respect for the people we're learning from and attempt to include them in the process to the greatest extent possible.
The next step is the most critical of the journey. We unpack all of the findings and feelings of the previous two phases, we group them and sort them to find connections and meaning, and we ask questions about the things we've found. Often we do this with end users or community members as a collaborative endeavor, to co-create the outcome of this stage, our problem question. This is the key question that will guide the rest of the process.
After the Question is clear, concepting is fast, fluid and fun. In this phase, we generate ideas. We convene idea sessions with a diverse group of thinkers and use research-backed techniques to generate both a quantity and quality of ideas. Our facilitation methods are designed to ensure that everyone gets a voice and that ideas from disparate viewpoints and varying domains are included. We draw on an international network of subject matter experts and provocateurs who can join the ideation sessions in person and virtually. The outcome of this process is a prioritized group of ideas that we'll take forward into the next phase.
We move quickly from thinking to doing. We quickly make simple, physical and digital prototypes and get them into the hands of our users and communities. We get feedback fast, so we can iterate, and more importantly, so that we can . . .
As we take our ideas into the world, we do so with an important mindset. We aren't just trying to refine the ideas so we can launch them. Every iteration is a chance to learn more about the people we're designing for. It's a chance to uncover a new insight that may change the idea, lead us in a better direction. A heathy dose of humility is important in this phase, as learning can often uncover assumptions that were unjustified. But through the learning process, the team becomes not only better able to make this idea successful, they gain increased capacity to execute new ideas that improve impact throughout the organization.
The Design Thinking community is incredibly generous with its time, talent and knowledge. I am grateful to many people who have helped inform and guide me as I continue to develop my own innovation practice. I recommend checking out some of the following Design Thinking resources.
Stanford D School
This was my first exposure to Design Thinking. They offer a fabulous array of resources:
Getting Started with Design Thinking
Design Thinking Artifacts
Greater Good Studio
George Aye and Sara Cantor Aye and their team at Greater Good have created an amazing studio using Design Thinking for social good.
Creative Reaction Lab
Antionette Carroll, founder of Creative Reaction Lab in St. Louis, has done terrific work in adapting Design Thinking for diversity and inclusion. Download their Equity-Centered Community Field Guide.
John Bielenberg
John's book Think Wrong encourages Design Thinkers to Be Bold and to do work that matters. I'm lucky to have John and the new Think Wrong Institute close by.
Dean Malgrem
Dean founded Datascope, a data science studio that was acquired by IDEO. His writing and thoughts about data as a medium of design have had a big influence on me.

If you have made the decision to divorce, you have already made a huge step toward a new future. But, now that you have decided, there are a few things you need to do before you actually file for divorce. Unfortunately, it is not as simple as signing a few papers and going on your way. Divorce requires planning and preparation so that you can walk out of the final divorce proceedings ready to start your new life.
New debt and intentional waste of marital assets impacts divorce
Divorce has a tendency to create huge amounts of stress and lead to emotional, irrational behavior. Otherwise decent people can behave in downright inexplicable ways. The greater the overall assets from your marriage, the more likely that your divorce could end up dragging on for some time. You and your spouse may simply be unable to agree to terms for asset division regarding the divorce.
The difference between legal and physical custody
When ending your marriage, update your estate plan
Do those in the spotlight fail to be honest about relationships?
You should review and amend your will after a divorce
If you're facing a divorce or recently survived one, then it is time to review your will and make sure that you've addressed any issues that the divorce may raise. If you do not choose to make this a priority, your wishes may get misinterpreted when it is time to honor your will's terms.
How Do We Divide Our Debt In Divorce?
During a divorce, most couples focus on the assets and forget about marital debts. Debt is such a contentious topic, and it triggers all kinds of emotions and misunderstandings.

Processing and displaying complex for hydroacoustic data of round- and sector-scanning sonars
It is designed for digital processing and displaying of hydroacoustic data for round- and sector-scanning.
It provides simultaneous reception and displaying of round- and sector-scanning sonars hydroacoustic data.
Complex allows to fix a motion trajectory of the vessel according to navigation satellite system GPS data, determines geodesic coordinates of the objects from received acoustic echo signal, receives information and transfers it to NMEA-0183 channels of communication with board navigation aids (log-speedometer, gyro-compass, navigation satellite system GPS and other submarine acoustical devices). Software includes the functions of built-in procedure-oriented trainer for maintenance staff. Built-in trainer is meant for simulating of the azimuth search according to sonar echoed signals' main components, sea and underwater situations. Initial data is the information about the hydro meteorological conditions (wind speed, water salinity and temperature, etc.), bottom surface characteristics (ground contour and type), under-sea targets (dimensions, coordinates, speed, course) and vessel trajectory parameters. The supply of orientation angles and spatial altitude with the help of sensors and in collaboration with the global satellite navigation system complex allows to get geographically co-ordinated and corrected based on different types of distortions sea bottom heights matrixes. The complex's architecture is made according to modularity and allows to build parametrical product rank with the opportunity of functional powering (as for hardware modules structure, as software characteristics) on the basis of the universal element of gathering, primary and secondary processing and archiving of the data.
The range of use: - fish searching, location and automatic tracking; - location and tracking of near-surface, benthal and silted targets; - information support of the water area ecological monitoring systems; - submerged structures condition control, providing of engineering works when mounting marine pipelines and cables; - location identification of submarine pipelines and communication lines on the bottom and in silted bottom settlings; - sunken objects searching when carrying out salvage and rescue operations; - creation and correcting of sea topography data-bases directly on a carrier's board, including the fixation of sounding graphs and all satellite operating information (exact coordinates, time, weather conditions, course, speed, etc.); - safeguarding of navigation in navigation canals and fairways at sea and rivers; - operation monitoring of harbor waters condition.

Peter grew up in Virginia and Courtney is from New Jersey so when Courtney chose Virginia Tech to go to college, little did she know she would meet the man she would marry! They just so happened to both attend a Hurricane Sandy Relief event where they ended up going to dinner together with mutual friends and ended up sharing a cab home. Courtney tell Peter that he had her laughing the whole ride home!
Months later, they met at a happy hour, where with the help of a friend, Peter was pushed to ask Courtney out! The rest is history!
Courtney and Peter reside in New York City, but when it came time to choose a perfection location for their wedding, they wanted a southern feel to their celebration. They ended up finding the beautiful Ryland Inn which was a perfect choice. Their day came and it was raining alot! I was so thankful to have such an amazing venue where the rain did not stop us from creating beautiful images.
They chose to get ready on the premises at two beautiful cottages, one for Peter and one for Courtney and they are next door to each other which made my job so easy!!!
I always love starting my day photographing all of the pretty details that my bride and groom spend so much time planning and gathering. Courtney and Peter have such beautiful taste so I knew the details would be gorgeous.
Her bridal gown by annebarge designer was stunning to say the least! She complimented her wedding gown with some gorgeous manoloblahnik blue shoes. I was pretty excited to say the least! Her veil was my favorite detail and if you ask Courtney she will agree! It was made by a beautiful designer camillachristinebridal. Her bridesmaids had the prettiest vera wang dresses which were all different styles and a pretty grey palette. Their florals were created by peoniestopaintchips and the arrangement were just perfect!
The plan was to have the ceremony in the outside courtyard at the Ryland Inn, but due to rain, they had to move it inside. It was lovely as they stood under a gorgeous arbor filled with pretty white flowers and became man and wife.
After the ceremony, we had some fun doing all of the family portraits and then it was off to find some pretty locations where we could be covered but also have some pretty natural light for all of our portraits. The courtyard lent itself to our fun bridal party portraits and then it was off to a few other locations for Courtney and Peter's portraits and the rain had nothing on us because they totally rocked it! Their sweet connection and love for one another is beyond beautiful and I enjoyed capturing it so so much!
The party started with an awesome band that set the tone immediately for the fun and the dancing. People were dancing into the reception hall as they were being seated and I thought that was so much fun! Thanks to Craig Scott Entertainment for getting this awesome party started! Peter is known for his famous move with Courtney called the dip! He is such a pro at it and I adore it! I think he could actually give lessons on it!!!
The whole night was a total celebration of this beautiful couple! Courtney and Peter, it was truly an honor capturing your wedding day and Jeff and I wish you much love and happiness! Enjoy Greece! I cannot wait to see the pictures you capture!

Candace + Jonah - Styled and stunning
Styled shoots aren't something we get to do very often. If were being completely honest, with the move and the newness and all the responsibilities of the business side of things, we haven't had the time. But we couldn't turn down an opportunity to shoot with this incredible team of vendors.
If you're in the Charlotte/Lake Norman area, you may recognize Candace as one of the faces of Erin Padgett Events. Im sure Candace would tell you that, much like most wedding vendors, she prefers to be on the other side of the camera, but I'm here to tell you just how incredible her and her boyfriend Jonah did modeling at this shoot. They snuggled up just like we asked them to, and acted as though this is just normal for them. The whole shoot was a blast with them! Their personalities are a perfect match for one another and it genuinely felt as if it was a normal with a couple madly in love (I guess it technically was...)
As for the vendors who actually styled this shoot (comprehensive list below), its safe to say this is the dream team in the area. From the dress to hair and makeup, not to mention the floral arrangement… you'd think we were shooting this specifically for a magazine! Special thanks to Rural Hill for letting us use their land to shoot on. This place was Gorgeous! And of course, the shoot wouldn't have even happened if not for Erin and Candace from Erin Padgett Events. Thank you all so much for having us on this shoot!

What inspired you to take your picture?
This image portrays the consistency of sharp edges and straight lines, punctuated by the vibrancy of color. Color is imbued with meaning in and of itself, and when applied to the varied shapes of these books, part of our lives in different angles for centuries, we are connected more meaningfully to the magic of storytelling. Books can tell us beautiful stories, and take us to wonderlands filled with magic and mythical creatures. They break the barriers of our imaginations in a split second, its own straight lines and sharp edges tested, stretched, enriched.
What is your favorite part of your job and why?

It helped me to learn about new technologies while working with an amazing group of dedicated people from around the world. The project was delivered on time, despite my learning curve, proving the power of teamwork again and again. And it just proves what I said before – solving new and complex problems is just what we do at EPAM.

... also known as Mammes, Mammas, Mammet, Mamante, Mames, and Mamede.
Oddly enough, even though in Italy he is especially venerated by women who have given birth in hopes that they will lactate abundantly, his name seems to predate the word mammary. Dictionary.com suggests that mammary first showed up in English in 1682, derived from the French mammaire, which in turn came from the Latin mamma, referring to the mother's breast. Saint Mamas doesn't seem to be linked to breasts anywhere but Italy, even though he is widely venerated in Greece, Spain, Cyprus, and especially Lebanon.
The son of Christian martyrs (Theodotus and Rufina), he was raised by a rich widow named Ammia. She died when he was fifteen, and he soon fell afoul of the governor of Caesarea, an active Christian-hunter. There are many stories about him, but nearly all involve torture, lions, and martyrdom at a young age.
In some stories, he was tossed to the lions following his torture, but the lions refused to devour him and instead guarded him from the executioners. In others, he was being hounded by tax collectors, but slipped from his hermitage to the wilderness, where he stopped a lion from killing a lamb. The lion stayed with him; in fact he rode it into town and was granted exemption from taxation on the basis of... well, lion-riding, I guess.
If you have just delivered a baby, or you are about to, you can present some bread and cheese to him at an altar, pray for a while, and then offer the bread and cheese to the first person you meet in the street. Milk is like bread for babies; thus, the offering is intended to promote lactation.
