UACHTARÁN NA hÉIREANN PRESIDENT OF IRELAND
I am delighted to send my best wishes to Cork City Ballet as they celebrate their 25th Anniversary production of 'The Sleeping Beauty' at the Cork Opera House.
Alan Foley is revered by generations of Irish ballet students but also by the many people who owe their love and appreciation of ballet to him. His devotion to the art of dance and his generous sharing of that devotion through his performances, choreography and dedication to developing new talent is something which we should be deeply appreciative of.
I know that there have been many celebrations of his incredible achievements during this, the 25th year anniversary of Ireland's longest running professional ballet company. This performance of 'The Sleeping Beauty' is a great culmination of those celebrations and a fitting tribute to Alan and the dancers and staff at Cork City Ballet.
Go raibh míle maith agaibh go léir.

MITCHELL, Elma
Furnished Rooms
Original Cover Price:
FURNISHED ROOMS Poems by Elma Mitchell_________________________________________________________________________________
'All the characters in Furnished Rooms are imaginative – they live in bed-sitters in a haze of hope, fantasies, despair and routine; any resemblance to human beings is intentional. They have haunted me since my own bed-sitter days, and more persistently since I took part in the unavoidable closing down of a boarding-house. The introductory poem 'Notice' is not a satire on landlords, but sets out the regulations for living in a world created and controlled by somebody else,' – Elma MitchellElma Mitchell was born at Airdrie, Scotland in 1919. She is a professional librarian and has worked in broadcasting, publishing and journalism in London, but is now living in Somerset where she works as a freelance writer and translator. Furnished Rooms is her third Peterloo collection. Her first collection, The Poor Man in the Flesh (1976), was a runner up in The Arts Council of Great Britain and Provincial Booksellers' Fairs Association Poetry Award for 1977. In the same year she was one of the five 1st-prize winners in the Cheltenham Festival of Literature Poetry Competition. Her second collection, The Human Cage (1979) has sold out.From the reviews of The Human Cage:'Ms Mitchell's various "I's" are usually full of experience and empty of cynicism; they protest and accept at once . . . She uses a simple, rather bare language to arrive at an understanding which is rarely simple at all . . . Her best poems are generally those that stick closest to our daily lives; they are clever and heartfelt at once.' Mark Abley / The Literary Review'As in her first collection The Poor Man In The Flesh, Elma Mitchell writes distinctively, expressing a viewpoint often quirkily original in straightforward, unforced language.' Julian Symons / The Times Literary Supplement"Elma Mitchell has the rare ability of making tough, compassionate and compelling verse out of the minutiae of domestic existence by linking the apparently trivial with the most urgent human concerns."Shirley Toulson / British Book News_________________________________________________________________________________TremorLast nightSomething certainly happenedUp there.The Jehovah's WitnessesIn the first floor frontSaid they didn't see anythingAnd the comprehensive teacherOn the other side of the passageSaid he couldn't understand it.The turf accountantHeard it, half way upstairs,And couldn't account for it.The lady from the social security(Always quiet and reliable)Was shaken rigid, and cried.Only the one we don't know what he does -Him that's right at the top and speaks to nobody -He must have done itWhatever it was._________________________________________________________________________________FURNISHED ROOMSPrice £3.00 per copy post free Cover illustration: 'Portrait of Zarrin Kashi overlooking Whitechapel High Street' (1981) by Leonard McComb.

Hidden Mickeys Go to Sea:
A Field Guide to the Disney Cruise Line®'s
Best Kept Secrets, 3rd edition
by Steven M. Barrett
Published: March 2015
120 pages 4″ x 9″
Index to Mickey's Hiding Places
Trade paperback original
Printed in the U.S.A.
List price: $10.95
Disney Cruise Lines Overrun With Mice (the cute kind)
New Book Has Cruisers Crying Out "Ahoy There, Mickey!"
PORT CANAVERAL, FL (March 2015) — Mice in your cabin? That could be cause for celebration if you're cruising on one of Disney Cruise Line's four ships. These luxury vessels are virtually full of mice — and we don't mean the furry scurrying kind.
The staterooms and public spaces of every Disney ship are home to scores of "hidden Mickeys" — partial or complete images of Mickey Mouse that Disney "Imagineers" have designed to blend into their surroundings in such a way that their presence is not immediately obvious. Why? To give passengers the fun of finding them!
Now Steve Barrett adds to that fun with a revised and expanded edition of Hidden Mickeys Go to Sea ($10.95, The Intrepid Traveler), his field guide in scavenger-hunt format to hidden Mickeys on the Disney ships and Castaway Cay, Disney's private Bahamian island playground.
The new edition — a guide to almost 400 hidden Mickeys in all — adds hidden Mickey hunts for all the Disney ships, the newly renovated Magic, the newer Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy, the Wonder, and Castaway Cay.
Complete with Clues, Hints — some Mickeys are amazingly hard to find — and points to be scored, Hidden Mickeys Go to Sea also includes an Index to Mickey's Hiding Places, so that passengers can search for Mickey wherever they find themselves onboard or on the island.
Barrett has spent the last ten years searching out hidden Mickeys throughout the Disney parks and cruise ships, documenting the results in a popular series of books, and sharing the thrill of the hunt on his website, HiddenMickeyGuy.com.
"Hidden Mickey mania is contagious," says Barrett. "Searching for them has escalated into a bona fide vacation mission for many Disney fans, in the parks and on the cruise ships. Even beginners have happened upon a new, unreported Mickey or two."
The third edition of Hidden Mickeys Go To Sea is the latest in Barrett's hidden Mickeys coverage. He's also the author of Hidden Mickeys: A Field Guide to Walt Disney World's Best Kept Secrets, now in its sixth edition, and Disneyland's Hidden Mickeys, now in its fourth edition, which covers hidden Mickeys in the Disneyland Resort. All three guides are published by The Intrepid Traveler, Branford, CT, and are available nationwide in bookstores, online stores, and directly from the publisher.

NR, 88 min.
Director: E.L. Katz
Writers: David Chirchirillo, Trent Haaga
Starring: Pat Healy, Ethan Embry, Sara Paxton, David Koechner
E.L. Katz's "Cheap Thrills" is a very dark movie indeed. It involves a man played by Pat Healy, whom horror enthusiasts might remember from Ti West's "The Innkeepers". He finds himself in a desperate financial situation. He has a new child and has just received an eviction notice on his apartment door. He loses his job and finds himself in a bar where he runs into an old friend. They share a few drinks and are asked to share a few more by an eccentric couple who seem to have money to spare.
After a time the couple brings them back to their house overlooking the Valley and the couple proposes a game where the two men must compete for money by doing whatever they are asked by the couple. Katz's script is very convincing in establishing how the men feel desperate enough to accept this offer. It helps that the couple has already paid up on a few bets that seemed off hand at first.
As I said, and can't iterate enough, this is some very dark stuff. There was a moment when I had trouble not skipping ahead to a less disturbing scene in the movie. His cast is very well chosen and plays their roles well. Sara Paxton, who plays the woman, is also from West's "The Innkeepers". While David Koechner—better known for his comedic roles in movies like "Anchorman"—plays the man of the couple. He's a good choice here, since his almost buffoonish nature makes it seem like he's not really capable of really harming these men. Koechner always seems to carry an air of concealed intelligence beneath his buffoonery, and it serves the film well here.
Warning! In case you didn't catch it in the review, this is some very dark stuff, so even the trailer is only for adults.

A foster care agency, determined that the needs of children should be paramount, has expanded into new premises in Bromsgrove.
In a deal advised by property agents John Truslove, Children Always First has taken 2,600 sq ft at Ladybird Barn, Old Burcot Lane, moving from rented offices in the town.
Run by directors Julie Elliott and Jan Blazak, it arranges fostering for in excess of 65 children at any one time ranging in age from babies through to teenagers.
The new facility caters for administration and training, as well as somewhere children can be supported.
The business employs 50 carers, 19 full-time staff and a specialist therapist.
It has contracts with 14 local authorities – Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Dudley, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Coventry, Solihull, Warwickshire, Stoke, Birmingham, Walsall, Telford & Wrekin and Sandwell.
Ian Parker, a director of John Truslove, said: "Children Always First is a wonderful organisation, doing a tremendously difficult but important job.
"These are fully refurbished offices in a prime location and I am so pleased they have been taken for such vital work."
Mr Blazak said: "We looked at a lot of places and Ian was incredibly patient.
"But we are extremely happy here. The facilities are excellent – just what we were looking for. And crucially it offered a large car park, one of our particular needs."
Children Always First is a small independent fostering agency which does not intend to get any bigger because it wants to keep a family feel.
Mr Blazak went on: "We do exactly what the name suggests – put the needs of children first.
"We operate exclusively in the West Midlands and offer a family placement service that genuinely provides the very highest levels of support for carers and strives to achieve the very best outcomes for children and young people.
"We really do care about each individual child or young person placed with us and our carers who look after them.
"We don't want to become some massive national organisation where we lose touch with our carers and children. We want to know everyone by name and sight and value them and their contribution properly. We invest time, money and training in our staff and carers and that is what makes us different and better."
Children Always First says it receives ten times more referrals than it is able to place.
"That is because we are pretty much at the cutting edge," added Mr Blazak. The organisation operates a therapeutic parenting model and are the first organisation in the country to become a DDP certified as a consequence.

Assessment for Science Fair Projects:
Whatever assessment tool you use, students should have a copy of it ahead of time so they know what is expected of them as they work on their project or research paper. In this way, they are aware of these expectations as they design their projects. Rubrics are a very effective way to assess a student's work, especially if the students have input into their creation. You can look at the project as a whole and grade it appropriately. Half-points can be used to make grading easier and then the numbers can be transferred into grades if necessary by averaging all the point values. An average of 4 = A, 3 = B, 2 = C, and 1 = D. Checklists are also a way of assessing the students work and a quick way to see if the projects have all the required elements. Giving each item on the list a point value makes grading less subjective. Below are some sample rubrics and checklists:

Dialysis is the process of alleviating wastes and impurities from the blood and it is done when a person's kidney doesn't function properly. The kidney stops working due to a number of reasons such as kidney failure, severe diabetes, a congenital kidney disease, hypertension or other health problems.If the patients do not qualify for the transplant, then life-long dialysis will be needed.
There are two types of kidney dialysisHemodialysis: a machine called a dialyser is employed to filter the blood.Peritoneal Dialysis: The abdomen is filled with a glucose-based liquid via a small hole created in the peritoneal membrane.
How to prepare for a renal transplant?If you are advised for a renal transplant, then you should explore Indian institutes and hospitals, where the procedure has been getting carried out frequently. After you've selected a transplant center in India, you will need an evaluation to determine whether you meet the center's eligibility requirements for a kidney transplant. If everything goes as per the requirement, the doctors and other supporting staff would start the procedure. Once the procedure gets completed, they keep you on observation for a few days. Thereafter; they release you and ask you to meet once in a while for checkups.
How to get a donor in India?The donor may be anyone from your family or friends, generally family members are preferred as there is a minimal chance of rejection. While considering the kidney, the healthcare teams would perform some tests to decide a good match for you. If the patient does not have a suitable donor, then his name would be placed in a waiting as the number of donors is far lesser than the actual requirement. Indian healthcare sector is compatible to perform the surgery and provide after surgery recover.

Icing the Literary Cake
The world a writer has to live in makes my head spin. You'd think 'all' you have to do is get the words down. I say 'all' as that can be hard in itself. The muse needs to play nice. The words need to fall right, not be a game of literary Jenga in which they collapse on the page in an incomprehensible mish-mash.
If only.
Do you want your work out into the world? You want reads or sales or just eyes on the prize? Well, as Irene Cara once said in Fame, this is where you start working!
It can be overwhelming, actually. When once I would scan my Facebook profile, I now have two profiles and a page. One is for personal stuff, one is for my wider writing universe (if Marvel can have their MCU, I can have a WWU) and my page is for fans and information. I also have multiple twitter accounts (but one is for the barbers salon I own - there's a Facebook page for that too), Instagram, Snapchat and more. I used to play games on my phone. I used to have free time. Plus, there's the Wattpad app which I'm addicted to. I try to answer as many questions, respond to as many comments, and thank as many new followers and readers as I can.
But there's only so much time in the day, and it's not enough. Because more than anything, I want to WRITE! I am a writer, after all.
There're a great many ways you can cast your work into your own WWU. Of course, there's the mighty Wattpad, but there's also Self-Publishing. Once upon a time, this was traditional publishing's poor cousin. In fact, about twenty years ago I appeared on Sky TV to debate traditional vs digital publishing. It was never going to take off, they said.
Hmmm... Yes... Ok...
Now, anyone and their dog can publish their work. In fact, their postman's dog can do it, if they have access to an electronic device. Phones, computers, and tablets can be used to publish your story. So why would you want to dip your toe into the very choppy sea?
There's a multitude of reasons. Making your book available on Amazon. Holding an actual, real paperback in your hand. It's a pretty cool feeling. But how do you get there? How much does it cost? How hard is it?
Well, it can cost either nothing or a fortune. It can be quite easy or extremely hard work. It all depends on how far you want or need to go.
Two important things need to be done first. You need the work to be edited, either by you or someone else, and you need a good cover. Many people get away with neither. Their story is raw and resplendent with spelling and grammar mistakes. Some just want the story up. They don't care if it's up to any particular standard. That's fine, if that's what you want. But if you want your story to be noticed, to be liked, make the effort. Have it edited. Create a cover (or have one created). They say don't judge a book by its cover, but... yeah. We're human. We can't help it. So make it the sort of book YOU would want to buy or to read.
How much do you have to pay for these services? Again, it varies wildly. A cover can be roughly $150. An edit $500. There's plenty of free options for image editing, such as PIXLR, to create your own cover and the results can look amazing. For editing, you can go through it yourself (if you are, I'd recommend leaving the story for a little while so, when you re-read it, you have 'fresh' eyes). You may think it's perfect as it is. It may well be.
And then you have uploading it to the Internet and giving others the chance to see what you've created. Again, it's a windy path with numerous routes veering off. You can collar your friends on Facebook and Twitter to hold a launch party. You can do blog tours and guest posts. A simple Google search will bring up lots of sites willing, for free, to promote your story.
What of the places to publish it? Without wanting to repeat myself, again, there's a few. Amazon is, of course, the best known. Smashwords is another one. You can use one or both, as you wish. Each of them has an extended distribution service where your book will get into readers everywhere. Potentially, at least.
What did I do? Initially, I used Amazon. Format your book appropriately (Google is your friend) and visit http://kdp.amazon.com. I had the edit done and had a great cover, which I'd made myself. Now, it doesn't appear so great. Now, I've had one professionally created which kills it. I uploaded my book and waited for the money to roll in. Well, not quite. It doesn't work like that. I tweeted and Facebooked and started on this long road called Social Media. I also joined Smashwords to expand on what Amazon could offer at the time. The wonderful author Dean Lappi had read my book (Sin) and showed it to the person running the author partnership he was part of. Happily, I joined and was lucky to meet some fabulous authors. The original group didn't quite work out and many of the original members (including myself) created Myrddin Publishing which still goes strong today and is incredibly supportive.
With their help and with my expanding group of friends and fans across the world (a very small place when you have a smartphone) I was lucky enough to reach #1 in Psychological Thriller and #3 in Psychological Horror. Sin even made it to #1 in a Goodreads list of Books That Get You Hooked, above both The Hunger Games and Harry Potter!
And time went on and I wrote more. In fact, time began to move faster than I. My work (I work full time) was becoming much busier. I bought a barbers salon. I had another child. I couldn't keep up with the business, as that was what it felt like, of promotion. I wanted to write, not spend all my time pushing what I'd already written.
I discovered Wattpad, of course. Since then, my self-publishing journey stalled, somewhat. I have enjoyed being part of the Wattpad community and a Wattpad Star so much, I've felt like it's the real home for my writing. Needless to say, however, I've still delved into the 'other side.' I wrote Mr. Composure, Suffer the Little Children and Whispers for the movies The Purge: Anarchy, Sinister II and The Boy, respectively. Each of these, I uploaded to Amazon as ebooks. It is so straightforward to do, it made sense. I have yet to do the same for my Little Mermaid retelling And the Meek Shall Walk, but that's purely a time issue. I am stacked out with writing projects at the moment, but I will.
There's also the paperback issue. I'm in the middle of tossing the coin for who to go with. I've used Lulu for Dark Places, but I'm not overly happy. They've built on their platform more recently, but at the time of producing the paperback version (which is wonderful to hold in your hands and is, admittedly, great quality), they didn't have much in place for distribution. Amazon have CreateSpace which is very easy to use and, among others, there's Lightning Source. I've created an account with them and have purchased some ISBN numbers for my books but haven't had time (there it is again) to sort out the templates and book settings to produce a paperback through them.
Over the past couple of years, each of these platforms has moved rapidly, eager to give more to the ever expanding world of self-publishing and the options are seemingly endless. People have differing ideas on what works and what is right for them isn't necessarily the same for you. For me, I'm enjoying writing and not so much worrying about (other than Wattpad) going further. I'd like to, but... well, you know.
Even now, on Wattpad, I like my stories to have the edit, the second pair of eyes (or third) and a decent cover. It's not 'self-publishing' but it is still millions of potential eyes on my prize. My Precious. A piece of me.
Writing is a real journey and the actual act of producing that story can be the easy part. Don't let everything else take over or you can feel overwhelmed. Enjoy what you do. I know I do. Everything else is icing on a very tasty but long in the baking cake.

HOK's London Studio Hosts Discussion on Biophilic Design
An expert panel gathered in HOK's London office on Nov. 13 to make the case for improving health and wellness by incorporating natural materials, daylight, vegetation and views outside into the workplace.
Panelists included Joyce Chan, sustainable design leader in HOK's London studio; Trina Marshall, regional leader of consulting for HOK; Professor Derek Clements-Croome from Reading University; Alexander Bond from Biophilic Design; and Dr. Ed Suttie from BRE.
Excerpted from Workplace Insight:
The discussion focused on sustainability, the fundamental values behind biophilic design and the emotional connection that people and places have with nature. It was noted that developers are increasingly engaging with architects on these principles when formulating a brief.
Marshall (above left) introduced an holistic approach, addressing how biophilic design can be incorporated into the workplace: "The process of biophilic design starts with the client brief, as there is a responsibility for the developer to focus on the needs of the individual who will be occupying the space."
"The incorporation of biophilic design into the built environment means that developers need to be brave, as stakeholders will see evidence that biophilia lowers stress for both the building occupier and society," explained Marshall. "We need to find expressive ways through design to achieve it. We are seeing a far more conscious and deliberate movement of people wishing to experience their surroundings more intentionally in return for a more enriched existence."
Chan (above second from left) considered the user experience, from the street to the office seat, and the transition of the worker between the different spaces they occupy. "There is no concrete formula for biophilic design, as seen with the diversity in client briefs. The brief will vary from client to client. To achieve the success there needs to be dynamic post-occupancy evaluation which considers all the variations at play."
Chan noted that new data for measuring its value and benefits is needed to assist with demonstrating the return on investment, as well as to benchmark the successful application of biophilic principles, as data is fundamental to client decisions. "Without quality data, we cannot prove the business case for biophilic design. It requires a combination of quantitative and qualitative research to benchmark the combined effect of biophilic design on well-being."

That age-old love story about Americans and their cars?
Allegedly a myth.
But not this weekend.
Because one of the most celebrated private auto collections is about to go up for auction: the Andrew Car Collection, taking bids online this Saturday at RM Sotheby's.
A father-son passion project of 40+ years, the Andrews Collection is a cornucopia of 78 historic and rare vehicles spanning nine decades, from pre-war American classics to legendary sports and GTs.
A few we liked:
1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica SWB Cabriolet
The last of seven examples bodied by Pininfarina, this restored model once raced at the Bonneville Salt Flats.
1932 Ford Lakes Roadster Custom
After topping out at 141.95 mph in 1949, this hot rod went through a full body restoration and returned to the track.
1959 Lister-Chevrolet
With its distinctive body design (dubbed the "Knobbly"), the Lister-Jaguar was one of the fastest European racing cars in the '50s. This is one of 16 models with an American engine.
Plus — why not — a driveable version of the bike from Tron: Legacy.
An illustrated catalogue of the cars is available here.
Bids are available via web or phone on the day of auction (registered bidders can also place absentee/written bids in advance). Expect them to top out at around seven figures.
You can't put a price on love.

Making a positive difference in the lives of those with hearing impairment
Communication Strategies: How Can Friends and Family Help?
12 Jun 2013 | No Comments | posted by The Hearing Loss Clinic | in Health, Hearing Aids, Hearing Loss, News
Hearing aid technology has advanced remarkably in the last few years. Hearing aids are able to amplify sounds in different ways depending on the frequency and decibel level of the incoming sounds, they can "filter out" background noise with the use of directional microphones and noise management algorithms, and the number of ways we, as clinicians, can adjust the hearing aids is enormous. However, what people don't understand right away is that hearing aids are just that: aids. Think of them as a pair of crutches. If you have a bad leg and are unable to walk, crutches are great because they allow you to walk and get around. You are not, however, going to be able to run a marathon with crutches. As clinicians, we are always trying to set people up with realistic expectations of what hearing aids are (and are not) capable of. Some of the big issues people encounter with hearing aids include understanding soft spoken people, understanding people who speak quickly and/or who have accents, and understanding people in a noisy environment. You'll notice that it's not "hearing" so much as "understanding" that is the common problem. This is because although hearing aids amplify sound, this sound still has to travel through a damaged hearing system before reaching the brain. And, of course, a hearing aid will never be able to compete with a normal, well-functioning hearing system.
So how can we make the most of hearing aids? While there are many things the hearing aid wearer can do (e.g. online courses to improve speech understanding, speech-reading classes to aid in communication), my goal with this article is to illustrate how we, as friends and family members, can help our loved ones communicate in the most effective way possible. The key to this goal is realizing that communication is a two-way street. The following is a list of strategies that are extremely helpful for those with hearing loss:
- Do not speak unless you are in the same room with the listener.
- Get the person's attention before you begin to speak to him/her. If necessary, call the person's name or touch him/her lightly to attract their attention.
- Be sure the listener can see your face clearly. Do not stand in front of a light or a window. The glare will make it difficult for him/her to see your face.
- Do not turn or walk away while speaking.
- Do not shout. Speak at a normal volume. Shouting distorts speech and makes it harder to understand.
- Speak at a normal rate. Don't speak too fast. The faster you talk, the harder it is to understand.
- Speak clearly. Do not exaggerate movements of your mouth. This will also distort speech.
- Do not speak directly into the listener's ear.
- If the listener does not understand what you have said, rephrase the statement rather than simply repeating it.
- Be patient. Try not to get upset if you have to repeat things a lot. Hearing fluctuates with days, times and moods.
- Talk in a quiet area. The noisier the room, the more difficulty we all have following a conversation.
Print this out and put a copy on your fridge! Refer to it often to remind yourself how to help your friend/family member in those difficult situations. Keep in mind that these are strategies we are not used to using so this is new for you too, and it will take time before these strategies become natural. Learn to be patient and gentle with yourself during this process, and practice practice practice!

Hope, what does it mean?
People lose hopes all the time…Every circumstance that impacts our lives in a negative way can make us feel hopelessness.
Hope is the expectation that something good is coming, but, how do you hope for something good when all you see is darkness around you?
In middle of the shadows and sad times is when we have to keep having hopes. When you are happy, you hope for the best because everything is bright and fresh, but when things around you are sad, dark and in shadow, hope is that light at the end of the tunnel.
Hope is that little line of light that makes us keep going, no matter how bad are the circumstances.
My hope is in God. He is my refuge in times of despair, and even if I'm in the middle of the shadow of death. I can look to Him without fear, and life comes back to my heart, body and soul.
My advice for you is to never lose hope. There is always a light at the end of every circumstance — it doesn't matter how dark the days are.
In all times, Jesus can keep your spirit bright with His faith, His HOPE and His LOVE.

Newspapers report projected targets of gold medals at sports events.
Better newspapers report the athletes to watch.
Which one do PR practitioners want to appeal to?
By focusing key messages on human factors, brands can leverage on the following 4 outcomes:
1.Ease of building brand relationships
One sure-fire way to make your brand more endearing and facilitate positive engagement with consumers is to have key messages that relate to them and which they can relate back to. The Johnson and Johnson (J&J) Credo is one such key brand message that clearly state the people-oriented nature of their business. While communicating such human-centered messages, constituents will be more ready to respond to any message put forward by the brand, for example advertising messages.
2. Greater tolerance of brand shortcomings
Human beings are more compassionate toward their fellow rational beings. During a crisis, publics respond more favourably when the key message of a brand is focused on the stakeholders that contribute to it. Emotional attachment can soften the impact of a factual shortcoming, preventing loss of faith and confidence in a brand among consumers and investors. The goodwill fostered between J&J and their customers helped the brand bounce back strongly the Tylenol crisis. Likewise, a football team dedicated to people development, like Arsenal Football Club for example, can divert fans from getting hung up on results and hence foster an internal culture of goodwill and patience that brands can learn from. Success can then be spurred from this internal goodwill – Google and Starbucks show us that.
3. Increase brand equity
By keeping key messages human, brands can leverage not only on brand equity of the brand itself, but on the equity of the many personal brands that can help create a whole much bigger (and friendlier) than its parts. Human interest has long been an integral part of the journalistic news value; much like how a story with a moving, human angle can attract readers and give substance to a news publication, a brand with human-centered key messages is a brand that can successfully tap upon the intangible assets of its individual constituents.
4. Differentiation of brand from competitors
Human key messages are a good way to distinguish a brand from its competitors. What makes the Barclays English Premier League (EPL) so popular over other accomplished football leagues in Europe? It is the emphasis on the players that make up the league. Official television programmes like the weekly EPL highlights do more than just show the game, but also invites viewers around the world to a sneak peek into the lives of footballers where other league programmes do not. Football fans are fans of the EPL by virtue of longtime identification of the personality of the teams, managers and players created and sustained by the media, so brands should not neglect the human aspects of all brand touch-points.
These outcomes can protect a brand with human key messages to a great extent from the impact of market forces, while serving to strengthen existing brand attributes. Focusing on making key brand messages human can go a long way to help ensure a brand's survivability in the long run.

MACOMB — On Wednesday, nearly 100 Macomb citizens joined the GFWC Macomb Woman's Club in honoring Viletta Hillery with the "Facing The Storm Award," for a lifetime of humanitarian devotion.
The club held a public meeting at the Spoon River Outreach Center, where three speakers were personally invited to share their memories of Hillery, who passed away in 2007. The award is commemorated with a statue in Chandler Park, with a series of name-marked bricks beneath a statue of a woman and a small child. The statue was erected in 2015.
Hillery served McDonough County mostly through education, her friends and family said at Wednesday's ceremony. Hillery was a well-educated woman born September 2, 1915. Throughout her life, she served the community as a teacher, a principal, librarian, and even historian, her memorial biography said. She spent 60 years as a church school teacher, and over 40 years as head teacher over the Kindergarten department.
Laura Leezer, the first speaker, is the great-niece of Hillery. Leezer is the Senior Vice President of business development and marketing at Citizens Bank in Macomb, as well as a part-time instructor for WIU. She spoke about what it was like to grow up with Hillery being both her great-aunt, and her principal.
"She was larger than life, like some great and powerful Oz. Whenever we would go out, she was always 'miss Hillery' to someone." Leezer said. "This humanitarian award is a great honor."
Leezer told stories about Hillery's community service, including helping pay a family's first-month's rent when they had to move to Macomb on short notice.
Kathy Nichols, the second speaker, also remembered Hillery's compassion when she was a child. Nichols, a librarian and archivist at WIU, said that when she was a young girl, her next door neighbor was Hillery — who once spent an entire night talking to the young Nichols through the porch screen door when she was missing her mother late one night.
Nichols grew up with Hillery as a principal, she said, and a Kindergarten teacher. As she grew up, she found a good friend and confidante in Hillery's company.
"Not all of us are lucky enough to know — or be related to — a woman as kind as Viletta Hillery." Nichols said.
The third and final speaker on Hillery's behalf was doctor Reggie Batten. Batten worked alongside Hillery as a fellow teacher and an assistant superintendent in Macomb. Batten remember Hillery through the eyes of a parent, with three children who knew Hillery from both school and church.
This year marks the 90th anniversary of the GFWC Macomb Woman's Club, which was founded in 1928.

I just updated the Our Plan for 201X page with the new version of the game. The game is now complete with printable handouts and facilitator sheets. Go check it out!
What is Our Plan for 201X? It is a game about strategic planning in software product development. People have different words for this kind of planning activity: product portfolio planning, project portfolio planning, strategic planning, product strategy, yearly planning etc.
My objectives in designing this game are:
- to illustrate the problem of lacking a clear and shared business strategy and having a transparent and shared way to evaluate business value in the context of different needs of different business units when deciding what to build next.
- to be plausible as a simulation of a conventional software-based product or service company with multiple departments dependent on IT for software and with traditional software development practices.
- to have an engaging and activating simulation that can be played in less than an hour with a small group of business and IT leaders.

Hiii! it's me… Yeah, remember, me? L?
You haven't forgotten me already, have you?
Oh, right, yeah… Yeah, the llama who says "yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas" quite a lot, likes pizza and spends too much time on Twitter… Yup, that's me!
Yes, the day you've all been waiting for: i'm back from the land of France… Franceland, Land-de-France…
It was AMAZING! I swear, it was just so nice to have a change of scenery, and to be surrounded with friends, even though I knew like nobody at the start of the week. We camped near a lake, and it was just so naturally beautiful every morning to walk out of the tent and smell the fresh, admittedly cold French air, and just to be grateful that another day was to be spent in the beautiful greenery of French countryside.
Before anyone gets worried, no, I was not too affected by the floods which I hear have been making the news recently. Although Paris is practically underwater, we only had to drive around it on our way to and from where we were staying, and so it wasn't too bad for us, besides a few road closures and subsequent diversions. Whilst I'm here, however, I'd just like to say that I hope anyone affected by flooding right now – whether that be in Paris, in France or anywhere else – is OK, safe and happy.
I can't write for too long today; I have a music exam tomorrow [argh!!!!] and I need to do some extra last-minute revision before heading to bed. However, I just wanted to mention to you something super crazy that happened to me yesterday, as we all said our goodbyes from the france trip and headed back to our respective homes. I had just met up with my family – all the emotion, not gonna lie -, and I'd just picked out my bag from the tower of luggage which had been tossed from the underneath of our coach, when something really weired happened.
… Oh, haha, very funny. No, I did not see myself in a mirror. Rude.
As I walked out of school and back towards the car with my family, three people came running towards me. At first, I thought that maybe i'd dropped something, or that they were coming to murder me – after all, if they got arrested over here in England, at least they could understand the police officers. Instead, they stopped in front of me… Here come the guns and knives… No, of course not!
Anyway, they came over to me, and actually hugged me, and said that they were going to mis me, and that the last week had been amazing. It was just so weird to feel that appreciated, and important to someone, and to feel that I had made a positive difference to their memories of this trip. I actually started crying, both for the reason above and for the fact that, honestly, I was going to miss them so much too: they'd all been so friendly to me, and we'd had such a laugh. and, true to my word, I do miss them hugely, even though it's only been a day – mental, I know.
Just remember this: despite not realising it yourself, someone, somewhere, appreciates you, and not even just for a specific act. They appreciate your presence, your personality – they appreciate you.
Just like I do.
Anyway, with that, I will leave you to enjoy your day/night, and I will get on with some revision de music – see, I tried to learn the language! After all, it is [apparently] the language au romance…
Au revoir!

I work in an office to keep myself in second-hand books but I like to write. I used to write only about movies (The Man in Lincoln's Nose and The Man in Lincoln's Nose 2.0) but with a move to more serious blogging tools came the decision to broaden my horizons. Movies will feature, but so will sport, whatever's in the news, my working life and just about anything that I feel like writing about. 'The Man in Lincoln's Nose' is not dead but on extended leave.
I will try to entertain and inform, as I want people to come back again and again, and I hope you will enjoy what I write. Feel free to leave comments, feedback, mild abuse or constructive suggestions.

Child Licensing- Help
e frequently get parts for children on all sorts of TV programmes, Adverts and films. For all children under 16 they MUST be licensed by their education authority before they can do the part - no licence = NO PART. So because of the length of the time taken to process a licence application by local authorities at busy times we encourage all our students to obtain and fill in the appropriate licence forms for their education area, obtain passport photo's and a doctors fit for filming letter before they get a part that way the paper work is ready to be sent straight away to the local authority thus speeding the process up.
In almost all cases we will provide the student with the PART I from the production company. All the student needs to do is to remove PART I from their local education authority licence paper work and substitute the PART I from the production company and then send it off to their local authority with parts II and III completed, passport photos, copy of birth certificate and a doctors note to say they are fit for filming.
HOW to get LicensedPART I (From The Film Production Company) - we will give/email you this. DO NOT USE PART I from your authority licence form - USE THE ONE WE OR THE PRODUCTION COMPANY PROVIDE!
ONLY COMPLETE- PART II & III from your education authorities licence form (completed and filled in by you and the school)
Enclose passport photo's, copy of birth certificate and Doctors letter stating fit for filming.WARNING! Doctors letters are incredibly hard to get at short notice - consider getting one in advance. Do not forget to renew every six months

|The Perfect Vehicle | Home | WL | Links | Bikes | Humor | What's New
BMW R65 Info: Mods/Maintenance on My Bike : R850R
My First Time: R850R
Date: Sat, 21 Aug 1999 01:44:02 -0700 To: WL Subject: My First Time Friday morning, I dropped the R65 off to have new (softer) springs put on ... and left the shop with an R850R loaner. Maroon. [Aside: there were 3 WSP dropping off *their* bikes for service also] This was the First Time I'd ridden a bike other than my R65, other than the MSF honda last August. I was a little nervous. But, like a lot of things, it seems that the thinking about it is "worse" than the event. ;-) I told Paul Baker on Wednesday that I wanted an loaner on Friday -- I'd not asked for one before. Had always done "the shuffle" or got service on a Saturday and waited. But No More! [course, we also had to get past the unstated but obvious "you're a small woman and thus need a small bike" mindset] 1) My feet actually "touch" better on the R850R than the R65 with the custom seat. Surprise and confidence booster. 2) The R850R feels very light and is very well balanced. I think it's actually easier to ride (keep upright) than the R65. This is how the telelever forks are advertised, right? 3) OTOH, I dislike the sidestand. The "loop" that you need to snag with your foot to engage the sidestand escapes my boot sole, for some reason, and I kept snagging the shift lever instead. No way will I snag it with my heel. 4) The "off" switch for the turn signals doesn't "fit" my hand size (my thumb was not happy). In fact, for the first few turns my ride was "jumpy" because I couldn't keep the throttle steady _and_ turn the signal off. You have to hook the right thumb under the lever and pull "up" ... ugh. Yeah, I got the hang of it by the end of the day, but I'm not sure it could ever become 'automatic.' 5) I really liked twisting the throttle and getting torque at lower revs and the boost in horsepower. I feel a need for more speed. ;-) 6) The riding position is *very* different. Far more "upright" due to different bars. I'm not sure I like riding this "straight up." I didn't ride enough to make a firm judgment (only 60 miles or so) but my inclination is to think I must be more of an "RS" rider. I like to lean forward *some* but I think the "S" (or gooz's ducati) is too far forward for me. ;-) Understand, though, I haven't *tried* an S yet! 'course, I've been told you can change the bars. ;-) Can you change the turn signal controls, too? 7) I think this bike would be very comfortable on long rides, especially mainstream highway ones (well, after getting Rich to mold the seat to my bottom). Not having ridden in twisties sitting "upright" I don't know how that would feel. But the bike "turns" well -- or seemed to, I didn't push on anything but straights and sweeps. ;-) So there's a sigh of ... relief? ... something .... I know that the next time I have a chance (or make a chance) to ride another bike, I've a little box of confidence to step onto. I had been thinking for some time that the R850R would be the "next BMW" that I bought. I'm not so sure, now. Definitely need to Try Different Makes, Models. No rush, though, am still very happy with the little beemer. In fact, riding her tonight, I was much more aware of things like feet and body position on the bike, body angle, head/instrument panel geometry, etc. Kathy

Air Max '97 goes iconoclastic on HPE, his first EP-length release for DECISIONS.
The title track is a 3M streaked dumb/smart twister, propelling forward in alarming bursts of barely-sensical rhythm punctuated by stark silence. It starts half a bar early or late as per your preference.
Murky heater 'Swelter' follows. Sticky bass beats below vaults of pungent atmosphere and blistered percussion before a succession of serrated synths take the track to speedy, paranoid place.
'Thrall' pummels, kick drum and sub hurtling through a pre-individual cloud of chewed and splintered chatter. The track decays as it deepens, constantly inferring and deferring intensity. You will emerge exfoliated, glistening.
EP closer 'Inside Outside' sounds like something writhing around in a flooded basement.
Use safely but not sensibly to derange the dancefloor.
Mastered by Sam John at Precise. Cover artwork by Air Max '97.
RELEASE DATE: Friday 17 June 2016

Not long ago I was ask to compare current sentiment data provided by the American Association of Individual Investors with the market sentiment levels reached near the peak of the technology bubble. Going a little further, below is a chart showing the individual investor Bull/Bear Spread near or going into the peak of the technology bubble and the peak reached just prior to the financial crisis.
As the above chart shows, the bull/bear spread pre-technology bubble was a wide 45 percentage points. In the lead up to the financial crisis the bull/bear spread equaled 26.5 percentage points. In this week's report from AAII, the bull/bear spread is only 12.5 percentage points.
The sentiment data is a contrarian measure and is most actionable at its extremes. Clearly, as the next chart below shows the current bullishness level of 38.7% is far from an extreme level, in fact the current bullishness level equals the long run average reading for this measure.
During the technology bubble, when the bull/bear spread was at 45%, the bullishness level was a high 75%. Going back to 1987, this is the highest bullishness reading reported by AAII. Pre-financial crisis, the bullishness level in October of 2007 reached 55%. So currently, from a sentiment perspective, individual investors are at least indicating they are not overly bullish. Looking at sentiment in a vacuum then would indicate the market is not at a top. Of course time will provide the answer, but investors do not seem overly exuberant.

Los Angeles
In the springtime, the waterfall is usually quite active, but the amount of water varies depending on the time of year. Scramble up the rocks to see the upper level and even more of the falls Ś the upper tier is about 100 feet high. Wading in the pool beneath the falls is a great way to cool off before heading back along the same route.

So we at Scarlet Rage Vintage have been SUPER busy!! So apologies for our late blog post..But we've managed to get the time finally and sit down and put fingers to keyboard and show you our wonderful adventures to Viva Las Vegas and to Los Angeles.
Our first night in Las Vegas team SRV which included Grace, myself and Nikki went to legendary Franks Tikki lounge. It was wonderful start to our holiday. The interior and the cocktails were magnificent. We had to take some souvenir cups home with us.

Then thursday night we headed to The New Orleans hotel which is the base of where Viva Las Vegas. It was a wonderful night as I got to meet the wonderful Pink Collar Life Girls Ashlyn & Tara. They are probably the most sweet and lovely ladies I've ever met. Such a pleasure.
The beautiful Pink Collar Life girls & myself (I'm wearing 1950's sequin dress ofcourse from SRV)
I also got to bump into and have a lovely little catch up with the beauty that is Doris Mayday.
Also whilst browsing the vintage rails – even when I'm away on holiday I can't help looking at vintage it's a real habit. I bumped into one of the best vintage couples on social media none other then Laurence & Sylvain of Lost in the 1950's.
On friday night due to us being super busy going to places like Sephora (that is a girls DREAM) and other little stops including The Pink Taco at The Hard Rock Hotel (cannot recommend that place enough for good mexican food). We also ventured to the Neon Museum which we chose to go to at night which was great to see some of the signs lit up. Our evening was spent at The Golden Tiki where we had THE BEST cocktails and socked in the atmosphere then went to THE BEST Korean restaurant that's open 24 hours and just a couple of doors up from the tiki bar.
Some Prince memorabilia at the Hard Rock Hotel.
A 1950's Motel Sign at the Neon Museum isn't it great I want this in my house.
Me wearing my 1940's Hawaiian sarong style dress with my bakelite bangles. I have to say this is one of my favorite dresses.
Here is the beautiful Nikki & Grace both wearing 1950's dresses from Scarlet Rage Vintage.
Saturday day time was the famous Car Show, we're we got to have a good time taking a jive class and then we went to meet the burlesque legend herself none other then Dita Von Teese.
Here is the beautiful past winner of Viva Las Vegas Miss Victory Violet (Ella) doesn't she look beautiful.
Don't think we need to say who this beauty is but incase you don't know this is burlesque performer and QUEEN of vintage Dita Von Teese. We had a lovely conversation about people we knew and she liked my outfit which was I'll take to my grave that she approved.
We had a great time walking around all the vintage cars and ofcourse posing, myself and Grace and our dear friend Lucy (I'll show a photo of her later in the blog) were filmed for a Japanese tv show so if you're in Japan and you see us please do let us know. Nikki is wearing a 1950's skirt from SRV.
Now lets get to the glamorous saturday night, oh boy was this a great night we got to take a turn on the dance floor to some amazing big bands and stroll the night away to the wee hours of the morning.
Here we are wearing our Saturday night fineries. You may tell we like SEQUINS ALOT (my dress is from SRV)!! P.S we love a good toilet selfie it's where all the gossip happens.
I am so glad that I got the courage to walk up to this lady – who you may know as THE youtuber Miss Cherry Doll Face, she was the most welcoming lady ever and hopefully I will be able to take her around London when she's next over.
So sunday we left early, as we decided to head to LA for our next adventure. Which included watching my favorite drag queens and go to Universal Studios and meet some old and new friends.
We had a lovely evening at Mickey's. We watched Rupauls Drag Race episode and stuck around to watch some of my favorite drag queens perform like Raven who LOOKED STUNNING!!
Then came on scottish born Morgan McMichaels who lip synced the HOUSE DOWN!! It was so lovely to meet as well after the show. I will be making sure team SRV go see her when she's next in London.
We went to the Maxfactor museum and got to see all the memorabilia from behind the scenes of films.
Had to visit everyones childhood which is KrustyLand of the simpsons at Universal Studios.
We also popped into Besame store in Burbank, which was amazing to see. The visual merchandising and store layout was simply beautifully done.
If you're ever in LA you must visit Olvera Street, full of Mexican stores and restaurants. I spotted this amazing four piece set that I wanted to take home with me so badly.
So lets end this LONG blog (sorry) with this photo of myself with Lucie Luella who did my hair for saturday night. Isn't she just babe!! If you ever need a vintage hairdresser we all at SRV cannot recommend her enough. Plus she's just about open up her own salon in Manchester..Which guess what..Scarlet Rage Vintage will be doing another venture to Manchester to do a pop up evening!! SURPRISE..There will also be another announcement in regards to this event VERY SOON!!

How Much Life Insurance Do You Need?
John Jastremski Presents:
How Much Life Insurance Do You Need?
Your life insurance needs change as your life changes. When you are young, you may not have a need for life insurance. However, as you take on more responsibility and your family grows, your life insurance needs increase. Your needs may then decrease after your children are grown. You should periodically review your needs to ensure that your life insurance coverage adequately reflects your life situation.
Estimating your life insurance need
There are a couple of simple methods that you can use to estimate your life insurance need. These calculations are sometimes referred to as rules of thumb and can be used as a basis for your discussions with your insurance professional.
Income rule
The most basic rule of thumb is the income rule, which states that your insurance need would be equal to six or eight times your gross annual income. For example, a person earning a gross annual income of $60,000 should have between $360,000 (6 x $60,000) and $480,000 (8 x $60,000) in life insurance coverage.
Income plus expenses
This rule considers your insurance need to be equal to five times your gross annual income plus the total of any mortgage, personal debt, final expenses, and special funding needs (e.g., college). For example, assume that you earn a gross annual income of $60,000 and have expenses that total $160,000. Your insurance need would be equal to $460,000 ($60,000 x 5 + $160,000).
Several more comprehensive methods are used to calculate life insurance need. Overall, these methods are more detailed than the rules of thumb and provide a more complete view of your insurance needs.
Family needs approach
The family needs approach requires you to purchase enough life insurance to allow your family to meet its various expenses in the event of your death. Under the family needs approach, you divide your family's needs into three main categories:
- Immediate needs at death (cash needed for funeral and other expenses)
- Ongoing needs (income needed to maintain your family's lifestyle)
- Special funding needs (college funding, bequests to charity and children, etc.)
Once you determine the total amount of your family's needs, you purchase enough life insurance, taking into consideration the interest that the life insurance proceeds will earn over time, to cover that amount.
Income replacement calculation
The income replacement calculation is based on the theory that the family income earners should buy enough life insurance to replace the loss of income due to an untimely death. Under this approach, the amount of life insurance you should purchase is based on the value of the income that you can expect to earn during your lifetime, taking into account such factors as inflation and anticipated salary increases, as well as the interest that the lump-sum life insurance proceeds will generate.
Estate preservation and liquidity needs approach
The estate preservation and liquidity needs approach attempts to calculate the amount of life insurance needed upon your death to settle your estate. This includes estate taxes, and funeral, legal, and accounting expenses. The purpose is to preserve the value of your estate at the level prior to your death and to prevent an unwanted sale of assets to pay estate taxes. This method takes into consideration the amount of life insurance needed to maintain the current value of your estate for your family, while providing the cash needed to cover death expenses and taxes.
