This is part of our How We Work series of blog posts. Today, we're talking about the team members we'll assign to client projects.The Key Questions
The questions we'll answer are:
- Do you outsource work overseas?
- Do you outsource work to contractors or other agencies?
- How do you schedule team members for my project?
- How often will they be working?
- Who are those different team members and what are their roles?
- Who will be managing my account?
- How quickly can we start?
Do You Outsource Work Overseas?
We get a lot of questions about the way we work. The most common one is, "Do you outsource work overseas?" The answer is an emphatic, "no." We are 100% US-based company with full-time W2 employees based in 16 states. We believe in the team and culture we've built and having full-time resources is a key ingredient.
Do You Outsource Work to Contractors or Other Agencies?
People also ask if we outsource work to contractors and other agencies. Only in special circumstances would we reach outside our organization. When we do, we always work with our clients to weigh the pros and cons of working with another agency. If you decide that's the best path forward, you'll likely contract with that person or firm directly.
So with those questions out of the way, let's talk about how we structure our teams.
How Do You Schedule Team Members For My Project & How Often Will They be Working?
Your Very team will be available to you for active collaboration during normal business hours. Instead of email, the best way to reach your team is through Slack: our communications hub. We also regularly use Google Hangouts for valuable face-to-face (virtual) interactions.
Who Are Those Different Team Members and What are Their Roles?
Core Team Members
Core team members work an average of 28 focused hours per week and are dedicated solely to your project for the entirety of our engagement. Maintaining a consistent team composition day after day, week after week, creates less waste and more efficiency, so your project moves forward at a steady pace.
Front-End Developers / UX designers
UX designers are a critical part of modern application development. But too often, UX designers create a mockup, hand it off to developers, and move on to the next project. At Very, our UX designers also serve as front-end engineers, making the gap between design and development non-existent.
Back-End Engineers
Our back-end engineers work in teams of two using a process called pair programming. This approach leads to better quality, fewer defects and greater levels of overall efficiency over the lifecycle of the project. It also gives every project an added level of redundancy.
Data Science Engineers
With the increased popularity of artificial intelligence, big data, and machine learning, we've found that many clients need dedicated data science engineers to be responsible for data strategy. This role can be responsible for crafting data acquisition strategies, defining internal workflows and applying state-of-the-art technologies and techniques to your project.
Who Will be Managing my Account?
One of our senior leadership team members serves as product manager and primary account manager. During your release planning phase, we'll determine if they need to serve in a dedicated capacity, working only on your project, or if they can be effective managing your project in addition to other client projects. Their role is about driving the project forward: they ensure that the best practices are followed and that the right questions are asked and answered.
Product managers provide unbiased insight related to product development and business model validation. While they may participate in regularly scheduled checkpoints, they typically do not have daily accountabilities or tasks within the project.
Product managers are available to you for one-on-one consulting and guidance: as part of the advisory fee, you have access to — and support from — the entire advisory team and skill sets within the Very network of companies.
How Quickly Can We Start?
We do our best to start your project as quickly as possible. We schedule teams full-time on projects and assign your team based on the experiences and skills that are most relevant to your project.
Typically, we expect four to six weeks from the date our SOW is signed until a team is scheduled. Sometimes, when the stars align, we can make it happen faster. It's imperative that we know about urgent deadlines as we're building the SOW.

I wasn't always slated for Alzheimer's advocacy.
In fact, back in 2008 – after watching a CSI: New York marathon on TV…for ten school days straight…and doing very, very little else – I went back to school for my master's degree.
In 2010, I graduated from the University of North Texas with a Master of Science in Information Sciences (a.k.a., a librarian's degree) with graduate certificates in Youth Librarianship and Storytelling.
I chose these areas of study because I wanted to gain some expertise in something I love.
You see, I knew that Coach hoped to someday be a head football coach at the college level which provides a small, yet potentially impactful platform to create positive change in the team's community. And then, when I looked inside my heart and my pretend crystal ball, I saw a deep passion for children and an obsessive love for reading.
Since that decision, Alzheimer's Disease has attacked our family. Because we refuse to go down quietly, my public platform has taken on a life of its own.
Don't get me wrong…I'm happy and proud and honored to shout "WE ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY MUST END ALZHEIMER'S" from the rooftops every singe day. You see, me and Coach, we are determined to help create a world without this horrific disease.
But I do still love children, I do still read obsessively, and putting it all together, I do still adore children's books!!
Today, at Reasor's (the Oklahoma version of HEB for all my Texas peeps), I bought my new favorite book:
Daisy-Head Mayzie by Dr. Seuss
The title and it's similarity to my Angel Girl, Maci, grabbed my attention. On top of that, I could not understand how I have never heard of this Dr. Seuss tale. Obviously, I had to have it.
And now I love it!
The story is precious, about a beautiful little girl who discovers something different about herself, has to deal with the fallout when everyone panics over her being different, and then realizes that she's lovable and valued and proud to be herself [and grow daisies on her head] after all.
But the main reason that it's my new favorite is because just before bed my Coach and my Angel Girl stood by my side and looked over my shoulder while I read this book aloud to them. No phones in the room to distract, no TV's with which to compete, just the three of us standing in the kitchen while I read Dr. Seuss out loud.
For me, that was a perfect moment.
The icing on the cake is the historical information about Mayzie and Dr. Seuss at the end of the book…which explains why I had not ever heard of this treasure.
The sprinkles on top of the icing on top of the cake? I get to read it all over again.
To my SonShine!
The next time he is home 🙂
Yes, he is now 20 years old.
Yes, he's a big, strong, rough and tough football player.
Yes, he's an uber-busy college student.
But he's listened to me read 100's of books out loud, and he's a good sport, and he's the world's best son, so I know – just as Coach and Angel Girl did tonight – he will indulge me with this one: my new favorite book!
Love and hugs,
* PS: please click here if you would like to support my efforts to #END ALZ –
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! A.

Like most people I look forward to the weekend all week long, I look can't wait to putting together a cute outfit, cheek out a new cafe or just spending the day outdoors. my family came to visit and celebrate El Dia Del Nino (kids day) so we decided to pack up picnic and take advantage of the beautiful sunny day.
I have to say I feel really #blessed to have so many beautiful beaches, parks, and hiking trails near me (all perfect for a great Instashot ). We decided to head to one for our favorite spots, Lovers Point a cute little picnic area in Pacific Grove. We love that it has easy access to the beach but also has plenty of grassy areas to lay down a picnic blanket and enjoy the beautiful view. On sunny days, it's absolutely mind blowing!
We spent a majority of our afternoon playing with the kids on the grass and running around. My nephew and son really enjoyed the sunny weather, we played freebie and enjoyed a delicious lunch with the sound of crashing waves behind us making the day even better.
I knew we would be running around a lot so I needed a very comfortable and flexible outfit. I opted for my new favorite off the shoulder striped top, paired with rolled up straight leg jeans and my lace-up nude sandals from Payless Shoes ( check out my Spring shoe essentials) it made for a light and airy spring outfit. On days that I need to be hands free my go to bag is my Kate Spade backpack it's classic, and offers enough space that I can pack all of babies needs. Of course these days I try to capture every moment so I never leave the house with-out my camera.
After lunch we went down to Cannery Row, and did a little more walking around and popped into Ghirardelli for a cheeky late afternoon treat. I totally recommend the Presidio Passion Strawberry Sundae, it's amazing!
It was a fantastic weekend, I'm already counting down the days until the next! I'd love to hear how you all spent your weekend, share it down below.

By the time I was born, Mary and Jane had both been born in the house in Raymond.
I was born in the house on the main floor, as were the other children from me on down to Richard.
Dad was the Bishop at the time of my birth and he was the Bishop all the time that I was growing up in Raymond.
We used to have a big barn just to the east of the house, with a hay barn as well. We always kept cows there and we had about 2 or 3 acres of garden, and about an acre and a half of fruit trees. Dad spent a lot of time and effort trying to get varieties that would grow in Alberta. He was very proud of his fruit trees and the strawberries, grapes, raspberries, apples, plums and a hybrid cherry. He showed them to anybody who came to town. To show them that we could grow anything that they could as far south as Utah.
A lot of our duties centered around those activities. We had room for about 6 or 7 cows in the barn and at least one team of horses that could be put in the barn.
When we had been working on the farm, we would usually bring a load of hay back with us at night to put in the hay barn to feed the cows in the winter. The cows provided lots of milk for our family, and for several other families. We had enough cream to make our own butter. We sometimes sold milk, as I recall. We at first didn't have good refrigeration. We had an ice box, and our own ice barn, which was protected by cinders. So when we needed a block of ice we had to go dig in the cinders and pull a block of ice out.
A good part of our yard was in garden and we raised enough that mother would put up at least 300 or 400 quarts of bean and peas and corn. Then we had an equal amount of storage of fresh fruit that she would can. Some of it we raised and some of it would be bought from shipments that came over from B.C. This provided the basis for our living and why they were able to have a large family on a small income and not notice the ups and downs of the economic world.
The home we lived in was the same home that stands on the corner of Park Ave and First Street east, in Raymond. We had all of the land in that block up to the Witbecks. That gave us a large piece of property, especially for in town, and enabled us to do these activities.
At the time of my early years, the front part of the porch was a verandah, and the back part was a structure that was filled in with screen. We grew Virginia creepers on the front part, and hops on the back, and that provided shade and protection. We always had a bunk bed in the back part, and some couches in the front, which always seemed warmer .
The water system came from the city, we had our own sewer system. It was usually quite alright, but I think you would have to live through that era to understand that. We had indoor plumbing, with an indoor bath, which was a great thing in those days when so fewpeople had indoor plumbing. We always had a telephone, and that seemed like a luxury.
One of my first recollections was: Dad was always very interested in sports, and a Mr. Waddis, from the Utah Idaho Sugar Company, gave Dad a radio for the work (and housing) that Dad did for them. The radio was a huge cabinet sized console, with a big 'his master's voice' type of speaker. It had what seemed to me to be a hundred tubes in the radio, although it was probably about 35 tubes. It was good - we could hear all over the country. So when the prize fights were on, everyone in the neighborhood would stop by to listen to the world championship boxing matches, in the living room and dining room. These were great exciting times. I recall that was one of the center of things and Dad always liked to speculate who was going to win.
Our living room was a room with a piano. We often had visitors who would come and stay with us. Grandma Maryann Harris spent at least 3 months a year with us from my earliest memory. She was a welcome person in our house. She was a very fine looking woman. She had beautiful skin and brown eyes; and she had a very happy smile - always.
She always got up early in the morning and made sure the chores were done. Sometimes she would surprise me and have the cows milked before I got up - and of course, that endeared her to me forever. I always felt a little bit guilty because I said I liked my grandma better than my mother. She often stayed with us if mother was away. She would usually have lunch on the table for us when got home from school. You had to be raised in our family to realize the difference.
Mother was a hard-working woman, who prepared most of the food. We probably lived more cheaply than anybody else in town, but we ate the best food. We had our own beef and pork and we could have a change and have chicken.
We had a root cellar. We kept cabbages and potatoes in the cellar. It was alright, unless someone forgot and left the door open in the winter. Part of the duty of everyone that lived in the house was to see that we had an adequate supply of food.
On the top floor we had a storage room, and each fall Dad would make sure we had enough wheat germ, oatmeal for enough porridge for the year. That was at least 100 pounds of each of the elements and that formed the basis for our breakfasts. We had rolled oats for sure. Dad always said : 'Eat them whether you like them or not.' We could have bacon and eggs, or steak, or anything else you wanted for breakfast, but you had to eat rolled oats first. We often had Corn Flakes and Shredded Wheat stored in the closet. He always bought at least a 1000 pounds of flour, and at least 500 to 1000 pounds of sugar. So we always had enough to eat in case there was a shortage of money or a shortage of food in the area. I kind of reminds me of Joseph.
Those were things that we grew up with and were essential in our lives.
In my very early years, I remember that times were really bad, and people often left home and traveled the country looking for work. People from as far away as Manitoba and Vancouver would come, they would ride the rails.
I remember things were very different before the depression started. We would always have a supply of fresh fruit, to share with everyone, then I remember that disappeared. There was a difference also in the purchase of clothing. I remember Dad always dressed very well. I remember when he paid what seemed like a huge sum for a winter overcoat - $70. That was a fine coat. It was lined with fur on the inside. He always wore a special kind of boot. I think Heber Allen and Wilford Heninger were the only men in town that wore that kind of shoe. They were very expensive. He wore them all of his life. They were kind of a lace boot that went up over his ankle. He once crushed his foot in a hay baler, and that's what brought him in from the farm to the sugar office. Otherwise he would have stayed as a farmer. He had studied at LDS Business College which qualified him to work in the office. He never left the office. So sometimes unusual circumstances alter our later careers.
During my early childhood, Ralph, Reed, Glen and Richard were all born. I do not recall Ralph's birth, but I remember the others. I recall Dad coming up and waking the children and saying:' I've got a big surprise for you - guess what?' So that was hard to distinguish between that and Christmas. That's the way the announcement was made of the arrival of children. He would say : 'You can go down and see your mother and the new baby in about an hour.' We were well-disciplined with regards to the demands made on mother from a child bearing point of view. At the birth of each child, she always had somebody live in for a long period of time. It always seemed to me that she had some help. This probably wasn't totally true, but it seemed like it. Aunt Cecil came up and spent some time with us. She was a nurse and helped out. In addition, Mrs. Deardon was there for Richard and Glen. She was an old English midwife; it was said of her that whenever she couldn't deliver the baby the doctor wished he was out of town.
It was the wish of Dad that he should have music in the house and that all of his sons be great athletes. He concentrated on Harris. Fay was a little less interested in athletics, but Harris fulfilled Dad's wishes as far as athletics were concerned. But we didn't escape from the tutelage and demands of training. We had to train at least an hour a day in physical things. That way we would be tired enough that we didn't make any noise, so we had to work out all the time. So its only natural that when we got a little older, we had to go to track meets. We didn't get a choice of going to them, we had to go to the track meets. We had to compete. This was part of our growing up. We went to track meets all over, I recall going to Cardston, Blairmore, Calgary, Red Deer, Wetaskawin.
Harris had been very successful at winning many meets and he brought home enough medals that none of us felt like we really had to compete any more to fulfill our father's great wish that we should be athletes. We always trained in the morning, and if we didn't, we would get to train in the late afternoon. Dad trained Harris and Fay and all of Harris's
friends, like Bruce Galbraith and Jimmy Weaver. A lot of those guys became great athletes in track and field and basketball. Fay got in on that too. We always had a basketball court and a designated tennis court. We thought that we should play basketball and I recall Dad telling us there was no excuse for anyone to shoot a foul shot and miss it. He said you can practice a foul shot and there is no reason why everyone shouldn't shoot perfectly their foul shots.
We always had a stop watch, and everyone had to train and try to beat their record.
I addition to this we were competitive in school. We were not expected to be second in class, we were expected to be first in class. Our rewards for our monthly school report came based on the number of firsts we got. If we were first in the class, that was exchanged for a certain sum of money. So that was a competitive area, and his simple method of rewards.
We always had family night on Monday night. This was long before anyone else did. This was a happy time. We always got together and always sang songs. If someone from the family was away from home we would write letters. We would write for two minutes, and then Dad would call time and we would have to pass the letter to the next person so everyone would get a chance to write (to a member of the family who wasn't at home, or to a visitor). We always sang. Both Father and Mother were musical. My Dad thought he was the best singer in the world. He'd sing anything from an opera number on, and was sure that nobody in New York opera society could come close to him. I think he was a pretty good singer; I don't know how he would compare to the opera stars, but he certainly didn't lack any confidence in his ability. Mother was a good singer, and we were expected to sing. Fay used to give us a bad time sometimes, and I remember a few times that he missed out on the treats because he had been unwilling to sing.
We were all supposed to learn how to play a musical instrument. I remember trying to learn how to play the piano. Then Harris, Fay, Ralph and I all took violin lessons. Ralph used to practice every week while we were at the class. We started out with Lief Erickson, from Stirling. Later we took lessons from Gordon Murray, who was a very fine violinist. He was from Toronto, and I think he played in the Toronto Symphony. He was a good violinist. Everybody had their own violin, and we were supposed to practice. I think the last time I played my violin, I was in grade 11 or 12. I played in church.
Music was part of our lives, as was sports, as you can see.
We had ward parties, it seemed like they were once a week. They often had talent night. We went to those parties and they were reasonably effective. I think Dad saw every change of movies that came to the theater, until I left home. He would always say: 'I'm going to the show, does anybody want to go with me?' So he always took whoever wanted to go to the movies with him in the evening. I also don't think he ever missed a baseball game or a basketball game that was played in Raymond, by a Raymond team. He not only attended, he often kept score. Everybody knew him and everyone paid attention to his comments about the players and about their potential. I always thought he would tell the coach what to do. Dad always played baseball and he was a good thrower. He could throw a nice curve and a nice drop ball. This put him in a league by himself. I always think he felt like he could have been playing in the World Series somewhere. He had that kind of confidence. He tried to teach us all how to pay ball. Harris was a good ball player.
Everybody had to get up in the morning and eat breakfast. Dad always got up early. The fire was a wood and coal burning fire. Dad would always start a fire in the hot water heater. Not everyone had hot water heaters.
We had tough rules in our family. Dad had to know where you were all the time. We had to check in with him all the time. On about Thursday or Friday, we would get our work assignments for the next week. We would find out if we were going to be tending the garden, irrigating, running a tractor, or driving horses, or doing summer fallow, or digging post holes. Those assignments were always made in advance. Then he would always have a few special assignments, if he couldn't think of something for you to do. I remember Dad once said if we weren't working, he would have us dig post holes and then fill them up again. And I used to say to Ralph, when we got some of those peculiar assignments,: 'Do you think this is post holes that we are filling up?'
We were allowed to have friends over and play with our friends, but we weren't as free as most children. It seems that some of the time we spent with our friends was often when they were helping us to do our chores. That helped me with a bit of my own philosophy which is - if you have plans of your own then other peoples plans can sort of fit around yours, and you aren't subject to everyone else's whims. I think that is probably the way we were as children.
With our academic push, everyone was expected to do well in school. I don't think there was any shortage of ability, but everyone was still expected to do well. We had lots of books at home. We had the encyclopedia and the Book of Knowledge, and mother was a fall guy for any book salesman that came to the door. She was sure to buy their books. We had one set of books that included De. I remember mother criticizing me for reading one of the books she bought. On cold bad weather days, I remember sitting at home reading the dictionary and the encyclopedia. I think that was a great help later on in school. It seems like when the teacher would cover things in school, it was never new. I can still remember diagrams and charts from the books I read as a child.
I always thought it was great if it was raining hard at night because then I wouldn't have to go to the farm the next day, and I could stay home and read.
I remember when Dad was Bishop that the Sacrament Meetings were very reverent. Of course, little children didn't usually attend back then, unless they were very quiet. I remember the meetings were very well conducted and very thoughtful.
Dad's way of administering was probably best characterized by Wilford Heninger, who had served with Dad in the Bishopric for 17 years. He said: 'We never had a disagreement, as long as we agreed with Jim.' He and Les Palmer were his counselors. I don't think a day went by without them stopping by Dad's office sometime during the day to talk to him. So they had a continuous Bishopric Meeting, rather than one once a week. They had things pretty well thought out and decided upon.
Tithing was not paid in the tithing office at the church but was paid at Dad's office at work, where he managed the sugar office, just across the street from the church. It had a huge vault .
I remember one brother came in to Dad and told him he had a load of hay he wanted to use to pay his tithing. Dad told him to go sell the hay and then pay his tithing. I guess that was the end of tithing in kind. Dad said the Bishops got more to do than go out and sell hay after somebody dumps it in your yard.
I remember Fast Offerings were collected at the church.
I don't ever remember going to church without a choir. The choir always sang the Sacrament song. The ward was huge. I think we had 800 to 900 people in the ward.
At the Knight Sugar Company, they were first shipping raw sugar from Germany to Raymond to refine the sugar. I think the company became largely a land holding company with a ranching and cattle operation. One time they had 200,000 sheep and 20,000 head of cattle and 2,500 horses. The sheep were usually divided into herds of 1200 to 1500 and each herd had a sheep herder. The old Milk River Ridge area was always covered by little sheep herder camps. They would have a guy take supplies to them every week. They had chuck wagons out on the Kirkaldy Ranch. That gradually disappeared. They had bunk houses with lots of cowboys. They needed lots of cowboys. The Kirkaldy Ranch was 25 miles away. They just had prairie trails, not good roads.
Dad did the books for the Knight Sugar Company and the Meeks Brothers. They had lots of cowboys, and Dad's job was to write their checks and pay them. It was also his job to hire people to fill vacancies. So he was a great source of employment for people. Almost every day, he would go out to the properties to see that things were in good order.
During harvest, Dad was always there to make sure that they were harvesting on time and they were doing the proper things like thrashing at the right time. A lot of people didn't seem to know when was the right time, but Dad did. He always knew how to measure hay so they didn't have to weigh it. He could measure it with a tape measure and he would know how much hay they had everywhere.
He could measure bushels of barley, wheat and oats and he would always know how much belonged to the company and how much belonged to himself. Dad had his own farms and ranches, as well. Those were some of his talents. I always thought he was pretty smart because he could tell how many tons of hay were in a hay stack, or how many bushels of grain were in a granary.
I remember we had a plow that was pulled by 12 horses. I thought that was fantastic.
Money was very scarce, so it was those who managed their farms well that made a profit. We always had sheep and cattle. The sheep kept us from being poor, although I think Fay doesn't remember the sheep as being very useful. We got two crops a year off the sheep: a wool crop and a lamb crop. If you made a couple of thousand dollars off the wool and a couple of thousand off the lambs, that put your family in a different economic category than if you didn't have the sheep. Dad liked sheep.
Sheep were great in Southern Alberta. The land was very dry in the 30s. I remember you could buy lambs for $3 per head. Cows were $12 to $15. So sheep were cheap and steers were inexpensive. I remember we always ate steak and I used to wonder why we didn't get to eat bologna and hot dogs, like my friends. We ate some lamb.
Land was cheap. When I was seven years old we bought section 10. It was just before the Depression. I remember Dad paid $50 per acre. He would not turn it back, he kept and paid it back. During the Depression, you could have bought it for $15 to $20 per acre. When you realize how cheap that land was, you realize how poor the country was .
During the decade of the 30s there was an attitude of caring and sharing. Later on as people emerged from the depression, a whole different society emerged, different than the helpful, sharing cooperative society of that decade.
The war made a change in agriculture and in peoples lives. Dad being Bishop during that time, he was really the welfare supply house for everybody. He knew who had excess food, or hay or wheat. He knew who had land for sale and he knew who looked like they could make a living at it and he would direct them to the right people. It was a built in welfare system, and he ran it all from his office.
By the end of the 30s, the church pretty much owned the sugar factory. So all the farm land got acquired fairly inexpensively. They were pretty liberal in their sale of land, they sold the land inexpensively. So people who wanted to farm, got a chance to do so.
LeGrande Richards was the Presiding Bishop, and he and Dad were friends.
I was told a story about Dad, that he was once asked to teach a Sunday School class to a bunch of rowdy boys. When Dad went in to teach them they were still making a stir, so he picked the biggest kid who was creating the stir, and Dad opened the window and chucked him out of the window. I'm told he didn't have any more trouble with the class.
I can tell you about Dad's political life. I was in Alberta when Dad was leader of the Opposition in the legislature. I went to see him a number of times at the McDonald Hotel in Edmonton. When I finished my mission, I spent a couple of months traversing the country with him on his speaking engagements. They were trying to organize to win the election. He should have won the election at about the time the war ended, but he didn't run that time. Had he persisted with the effort that he did initially, I think he would have succeeded in becoming Premier of Alberta. Dad had some really high profile guys in his caucus of Independents. There was Percy Page and Jack Bolin, Andy Davidson (from Calgary), along with Jim Mahaffey, a guy named Proudfoot (who was a rancher like Dad), and Day, and the Edgars (from Red Deer). They were all very supportive of him.
Percy Page was power in Edmonton. He was the coach of the Edmonton Grads. Bolin later became Lieutenant Governor of Alberta. Davidson was mayor of Calgary for many years. These were guys that were available to Dad and supportive of him.
Had Social Credit stayed to the left, Dad probably would have maintained his enthusiasm as an adversary to them. However, Manning came in and realized that it wasn't his role to be a left-wing socialist. He moved over to be a right-wing conservative by the time he left office. As the Social Credit moved to the right, Dad didn't have the same missionary zeal against them that he had towards the original Social Credit Party.
I traveled with Dad to a number of meetings all over Southern Alberta. The Independents were essentially the union of the Conservative and Liberal parties.
As the leader of the Independent Party, Dad had well-defined political ideas. They were all very conservative ideas. As you can tell from his background, he thought that if anyone was going to make the wagon go you had to get a hold of it and push it or pull it. He thought that anybody worth their salt could get a job and they could look after their own needs and the needs of other people. If you paid attention to the way agriculture was done, you could make a profit in agriculture and provide yourself with food. He felt anybody could be educated if they could read. He firmly believed that. There were lots of books and he felt people needed to read and talk about them so that they could put them to use.
The welfare state that exists now would never have happened if he had had his say. He thought that income tax was bad enough, let alone the taxation that we have now. He felt taxes were a one-way street to Ottawa. He was totally against government being involved in any kind of business. (He was opposed to the Treasury Branch banking.) He said we pay our taxes to run government to govern us, why should we pay money to a government to compete against us in any aspect of business. So head would be a right-wing conservative thinker, even though he bore a Liberal label sometimes.
Dad would speak off the cuff, but he would plan ahead of time the key things that he wanted to cover. He had things pretty well worked out before he would speak.
He would have been a good administrator of a government because he was a high profile leader. People followed him because he looked like a guy who knew where he was going and he always behaved like he knew where he was going. That gave people confidence to follow him, especially after a period when they had been down and out.
He was a good leader. He would go in with a crowd, and within a few minutes it would be obvious who was running the show. People liked him because he could joke about sensitive things, and people didn't get angry with him. I think that is where he was strongest; it was his ability to lead.
In church, if he went to a Relief Society dinner, he would be the guy to clean the chairs and put the tables away. If the chairs were still up after a conference he would say: 'Come on fellows, lets put the chairs away.' He was a guy who did all of those things.
He had the utmost confidence in the people that he called to serve with him. If they did anything, that was OK with him - that was the way it was supposed to be done. If the people who had a responsibility did something in the name of the organization, that was the way it was. So, often he could get people to do things that no one else could.
When they were building the Second Ward church, things were really bad. They had just acquired the land and at the very bottom of the economic cycle they were trying to raise money to build a building. He was never disheartened by it. He said: 'We'll pay for it as we go along.' They had chicken dinners every Friday, it seems like forever. People would donate the food and they would charge 50 cents a head to eat at the dinner. They raised enough money to keep a few men working almost constantly. Most of the work was donated or inexpensive.
The building got put together, which was a great tribute to Dad. It was also a great tribute to people like John Salmon and others who did a lot of the manual labor. John Salmon could do anything. He was a most talented guy.
They had carnivals. This created a great liberal atmosphere among people in Raymond forever. I don't know if it was all good, but it did create an atmosphere of cooperation in bad times. They raffled off quilts, had meals, had some games of chance. He got the adult Aaronic Priesthood (the less active adult men) to come and be involved. They were all involved. They were delighted to come and be a part of this. So he had people who never got involved with the church at any other time of their lives who were running the show and helping raise money to build the church.
They would also raffle a car, and sell tickets for a chance to win the car. To show his character, Jane won the raffle, and Dad put the ticket back and said draw it for someone else. Those were difficult days. I think he got the idea of the carnival from Europe, when he was over there. Most of the people in the ward thought it was a great idea, although there were a few critics.
His mission was probably the highlight of his life. He was about 23 when he left and he went on a three year mission to Holland.
He had great experiences on his mission. He went to a home one time, and they had always gone there for dinner. They had a great big cat and the Elders would always pet the cat. She served the dinner and the Elders later said;' We didn't see the cat today.' The lady said;' No, we just ate it.' I don't think he was very fond of cat after that.
When he was in Rotterdam, they had some great athletes in the mission. They had six or eight elder in Rotterdam and the elder had a track meet against the University of Rotterdam track team and the missionaries won. He didn't know if that did much for proselyting, but he said the little kids used to follow them around and call them names, but after the track meet, all the little kids would follow them around and call them 'The Fast Ones'. He said it changed the attitudes of people towards the missionaries.
His father died while he was on his mission. On the night that his father died, he woke up in the middle of the night and his father was there. He said: 'What are you doing here?' His father said: 'I'm leaving this life, but I wanted to tell you that your job is to stay on your mission.' Then he said he had to go and left.
Dad said he thought maybe it was just a bad dream, but he was awake and his companion was asleep, so he got up and wrote in his journal. He had a conference at Rotterdam a month or six weeks later and he got the mail which had come across on the boat. One of the other fellows said: 'You sure got a lot of letters.' He said: 'They're all bad news, I'll read them after the conference.' It was people writing to tell him of the death of his father.
His father was a healthy guy, but he died from twisting his colon during broad jumping that he was doing during a recess during jury duty. His death was not sudden. It took him about a week to die. They shipped him down from Coalville to Salt Lake. That's what he died of.
He was visiting some missionaries and all of them had their food in foot lockers that were locked. They didn't eat together. He told them that if they were going to try to teach the spirit of the gospel, and cooperation and integrity to other people you wont have to lock your food. He said if I come here again and see your food locked up, I'll recommend to the Mission President that he send you home.
Following the illness or death of the Mission President, he was called as Interim Mission President for a few months while they got a replacement. They probably had a 100 missionaries, I would think.
He sent many postcards, wherever he was. We had all the postcards and we read about the things he did on the postcards, which had been saved by the family.
President Benson called Dad to be the Stake President. He told me there was no doubt about Dad being the one to be called as Stake President. He said the toughest thing was releasing Grandma as Stake Young Women's President. He still remembers that. He said he wasn't too sure if she would sustain her husband as the Stake President if she was going to be released. She loved that calling.
In his talks, he told people what to do and how to do it. He would tell them it was a good year to raise wheat, etc. He pushed very hard. He expected everyone to do like he did to provide food for their families. Food was very important to him. He told people to get their supplies, that was easy for him to do, it was a natural thing for him to do.
Dad always thought Wilford Heninger was the funniest guy. He thought the donation of rock that was still out on the quarter section was one of the greatest donations that the church had ever received. He thought that was really funny.
When the Social Credit Party was getting started, William Aberhart came to Raymond. He came to Dad's office. He said: 'I've been directed to you, thinking that maybe you would be a fellow who could help me out to run the Social Credit Party in Alberta."
Dad said, he didn't know much about Social Credit, but what he had heard of it, it didn't fit in with his philosophy. Aberhart said: Is there someone who can help me? He was very polite to him. Dad said: There a couple of fellows that you might get to help you. One of them was Will Meeks, he is a well-respected guy. And you should try John Blackmore, he is a well-educated guy.' So Aberhart went to see them and Will Meeks wasn't interested at all, and that is where John Blackmore got his start in Social Credit. Dad referred Aberhart to John Blackmore, so I guess the joke is on him.
I was in Calgary, at the Paliser Hotel , with Dad, and we met a man who later became the head of the Masons in Alberta, and was also later a Justice of the Alberta Supreme Court. They were in a suite, and I was in the next room with the door open, so I could hear what they said. The man said to Dad: 'Jim, we will finance your campaign, and we will guarantee you will win, as the Premier of Alberta. We will raise a million dollars and put you in office, in exchange for which we expect you to support our ideas and we expect to name the Finance Minister for the province.'
Dad said: 'I think you got the wrong guy. If I am the Premier, I will name the Treasurer.'
They said: 'If we don't name him, we don't think we can support you.'
Dad replied: 'Well, if I'm going to run for public office, and be elected by the people, I will name the Treasurer.'
The man left and never offered any help to Dad again. He later became the Chief Justice.
That was the election that Dad was defeated. They didn't have any help. They didn't have any financial backing. The financial backing all went to the Social Credit party for the next 20 years. That was probably what caused Dad's downfall in his political career. Mother wasn't very keen about it anyway. She was quite happy when he lost. She probably voted against him.
President N. Eldon Tanner was a member of the Alberta legislature with Dad, but he was on the other side of the aisle. President Tanner was the Branch President in Edmonton at the time. Dad thought very highly of President Tanner. President Tanner had been a Bishop in Cardston at the same time Dad was a Bishop in Raymond. He was younger than Dad. Dad didn't mind Tanner, and he actually like Solon Low. Solon was his opposition, but he liked Solon a lot, actually thought the world of him.
I don't ever remember Dad getting into personalities with people in politics. He carried his battles at a different level - based on what they said and what they believed in. He wasn't into attacking individuals. That always marked him in my mind. I don't ever remember him saying 'so and so' was a jerk, or something like that. If a man changed his philosophy, Dad could easily be on the same side.
He liked President Tanner, alright. They were there at the same time. President Tanner was one who didn't like to antagonize others. I don't think he and Dad ever had any clashes. I talked to President Tanner about it, and he and Dad were friends. Solon was his friend also, even though he ran against Dad. It was a wonder that Dad ever won, since Southern Alberta was almost all Social Credit.
President Hugh B. Brown was president of the Lethbridge Stake when Dad was Bishop in Raymond. Dad knew Hugh B. Brown very well. He had Hugh B. Brown come and speak in the ward quite a few times. Dave Elton was a popular speaker too, and he had Dave come and speak many times. And here Dad was running against Dave Elton as the leader of the party, which was interesting. Dave Elton was a great speaker and a great story teller, but Dad won the nomination overwhelmingly, without any problem. Dave never carried any hostility, none at all.
President Tanner was a party guy. He stuck close to the party and the other Social Creditors, cause he knew where he was going. He needed to do that to maintain his cabinet post.
They told Dad that he was a nominee for the Canadian Senate at the meeting he attended in Edmonton, just prior to his heart attack. If he had survived, he would have been appointed Senator. Mr. Cameron, from Banff (who started the Banff School), got the appointment after Dad died. It would not have been necessary for them to move to Ottawa, just so long as he was there for the sittings.

You look cute with any length or color.ReplyDelete
Fun fact - I colored my hair for the first time last year. At age 37. And, only because I found gray hairs. SO LAME. I wish I had been more adventurous!
I love your fun style and that you're willing to try so many different new things! GO YOU! I need to step out of my comfort zone that's for sure lol! Now that my race is done I'm thinking a cut is def in order, and not just a trim :)ReplyDelete
I am a big hair experimenter too. You really rock the short look!!ReplyDelete
I love the short length on you. I'm pretty low key with my hair. Keep in mind I did not do highlights until I turned 40.ReplyDelete
I wish I would experiment more but no, I basically keep my hair long. I have changed colors though!ReplyDelete
LOL Our hair is very similar today! Notice I say today because we change our hair so often!ReplyDelete
You are so pretty, Jo! You have the right face to do practically anything with your hair, which is probably why you aren't as scared as the rest of us. ;o)ReplyDelete
Your hair must grow incredibly fast. I can still remember when you shaved it and now it's as long as it is in the last picture?! I love the blonde on you, but I also REALLY love that photo of you with the short black pixie. Both are gorgeous!
You look amazing with short hair. I've been thinking about going short for awhile now. I'm thinking I will take the plunge next summer! It has been short in almost 2 years!ReplyDelete
I love when people play with their hair! For me it's more about self confidence. I always think...if I had a cuter face, if I was skinnier, if I wasn't so pale, if my hair was thicker, etc. I should work on that! I do need a haircut soon, but it'll probably be a boring long bob.ReplyDelete

Franciscan Christmas Party
Just before Epiphany the Franciscan Friars at Sacred Heart and St. Joseph parishes in Peoria invited all the local Franciscans over for a party. We don't have many chances to gather like this, so it was really nice for us to get to know each other a bit better. It was the OFMs from the Cincinnati province that held the party. There were also Conventual Franciscans from Holy Family Parish in Peoria, Sisters of St. Francis of the Immaculate Conception (Heading Avenue Franciscans as we call them), Franciscan Sisters of John the Baptist, Franciscan Apostolic Sisters and of course we were there too.
He prayed Evening Prayer together in St. Joseph Church. Fr. Larry did his best to lead us in Chanting the office. At the dinner, they made each table sing for their supper. They we had time to just visit and eat. I think everyone enjoyed our time together. Hopefully we'll have more opportunities like this in the future. 🙂

Hi Sr. Rose Therese,
I am glad that the sisters had fun. Sing for your supper is something different and better then doing the dishes afterwards. Ann Creech
Elisa permalinkJanuary 12, 2012 3:05 pm
This sounds like it was a wonderful event. What a joy that all the Franciscan communities in town could come together to celebrate Christmas!

A recent study by Towers Watson shows that 56% of employers use social media (blogs, social networks, instant messaging and streaming audio/video) as part of their overall internal communication strategy, but only 4 out of 10 rated social media as effective for this purpose. Let's quickly check a few great examples and get inspired:
Social Media Tip 1: Really poor employee engagement?Telus: About six years ago, Telus Corp. was having troubles with employee engagement. An internal survey revealed that only 53% of its employees were engaged. The management team realised that there was no way to continue without making some changes. So what has happened to increase the motivation level of the employees?
Besides establishing new rules for home office, Telus started a peer-to-peer "game-style" recognition program where its employees reward each other for jobs well done. Employees award each other with points that can later be exchanged for things like spa visits or hotel stays. Telus went far beyond just a recognition program. They set up regular informal video conference meetings with executives, created a virtual office building that can be explored and many more solutions that are worth consideration. Learn more

Social Media Tip 2.: Turnover drop down?Tupperware Nordic A/S: Between 2008 and 2011, the turnover rate of Tupperware's predominately part-time salespeople fell by 15%, which was the right signal for the company to take measures and change the situation. Tupperware applied an inexpensive social media strategy, using a platform for producing "moments of pride" with a Tupperware radio show. Sales consultants from all over Northern Europe connect through WebTV and post their live comments on a Facebook-type "wall" seen by all participants. The managing director of Tupperware, in the host's role, gives every sales team the chance to present their achievements and thanks them for their results in front of peers. Learn more
Social Media Tip 3: Stop reinventing the wheel!Shopify: Have you heard about crowdsourcing a company's benefits? The CEO of Shopify had to challenge two common situations that arise in many organisations: having two or three people working on the same or similar tasks/ideas simultaneously, without sharing their successes or discoveries with peers, and employees giving double the effort and being generally disappointment with not being rewarded for their work and innovative ideas. Tobi Lütke, Shopify CEO, decided to remedy these situations.
It all started with an idea of a Twitter-inspired platform called UNICORN, which is used by employees to share information on the interesting things they're doing and uses the idea of benefits crowdsourcing. How does it work? The top management take a portion of company profits and distribute the money between all the employees on a monthly basis. Everyone in the company has the right to give their share of the cash bonus to a colleague with great ideas, exceptional performance, etc. in the form of 'unicorns'. In this way compensation is determined by peers, not by the management team, and employees are happy and keep posting their ideas. Learn more
Social Media Tip 4: Nothing more to do towards boosting the motivation level?SAP: Do you think your company has perfectly engaged employees, turnover is not an issue and there is nothing to improve? Get socially responsible with easy social media ideas like those of SAP.
Professional communities represent a growing area with the potential for boosting employee motivation. SAP provides users with points/rewards for blogging, answering questions on forums, contributing to wiki pages or submitting white papers. The points are aggregated across different areas and a lifetime leaderboard is visible to everyone. In this way employees are able to build and compete on their social status; as the number of points grows employees are also able to donate them to charity. Learn more
Social media, gamification and recognition programmes are most probably not among the cheapest and easiest ways to keep your employees motivated, but they are worth considering. If you think that these solutions are not the right choice for you, but still feel that motivation levels in your company are not in line with your wishes, join us at our upcoming event and unlock the secrets of motivation.

The first female cinematographer to be nominated for an Oscar has shared a photograph of herself wielding a camera while heavily pregnant and said expectant mothers should decide for themselves how long they want to work.
Rachel Morrison, who made history when she received a nod from the Academy for her work on Mudbound, posted a picture on Instagram that shows her with a camera on one shoulder while she points with the other hand.
She captioned the photo: "There's a common misconception that likens pregnancy to some kind of disability — the idea that women who are pregnant shouldn't be active and can't go about their normal lives…
"While no two pregnancies are the same, I just want to say that for many to most women this isn't the case at all. I just wrapped a feature #againstallenemies at 8+ months pregnant.
"Now I'm on to a commercial and I plan to keep shooting for as long as anyone will hire me knowing in a few weeks I may have to replace myself if I go into labor on set… the point is I am NOT a superhero.
"I am just going about my life doing the thing that I love for as long as I can because the more I work before baby the longer I can take off after. Which should also be MY choice and no one else's."
Morisson, who also worked as the cinematographer on Black Panther, added: "Physically speaking I could have gone back to work within a week of having my son. At the time, I lost many jobs because people were nervous to hire me so soon after the birth but again I say this should be left up to us.
"Pregnancy and motherhood in general is not a disadvantage and the craft doesn't suffer as a result. If anything the added experience and enhanced empathy has made me a better cinematographer and filmmaker. That's all. Happy Friday!"
The picture was shared by Anne Hathaway who wrote: "Respect, @rmorrision- and congrats!
Mindy Kaling also shared the photo and wrote: "I saw this on Annie's insta and was so impressed. Pregnant women and new moms are a valuable part of the workforce.
"I worked until two days before my daughter was born, because I was (luckily) able, and because my creative partners @cbgrandy @loriezerweck @itsspillertime and Howard Klein supported whatever i felt i could do.
"I acknowledge how lucky I am to work under those circumstances. Reading Rachel's insta reminds me that as employers we shouldn't be afraid of hiring these women! We work hard! And we wanna work!"

Monique Cervantes
What made you want to get into a career in Law Enforcement?
When I was in High School I started thinking about my future and what I wanted to do with my life. Even though I got married and had my daughter a couple of years after high school I always thought someday I would join the Law Enforcement family. Having a newborn I knew it would be hard so I waited until my daughter was old enough and I finally applied for my dream job. I always saw myself helping and educating the community and what better way to do that than in Law Enforcement.
What concerns did your family and friends have with you becoming a police officer and did their concerns change after successful completion of your training?
Having a husband in Law Enforcement it was a little easier for him to accept the job. My daughter and my parents were concerned but once they saw how motivated I was to be a Police Officer they fully supported my career choice.
Did you find it hard to compete with male officers during the academy and FTO program?
I never felt like it was a competition but because I am small in stature and not as strong as my male counterparts, I did have to work extra hard to get through on a physical level. As a female I did what I could to prove I could do the job just as well as anyone else and I was respected for that.
How do you balance the scale between family life and shift work?
It was easy for me working graveyards as my daughter was a little older and I did not have to worry about getting her back and forth to school. The hardest was finding time to spend with my husband, but we figured it out and it worked for us. We both worked graveyards by choice for 5+ years. Now I am a Detective and work the afternoon shift and my husband works day shift. We don't see each other during our work week but we make up for it on the weekends.
Have you ever found yourself in a situation you could not handle because you were a female?
No. As a female officer a lot of people do not feel intimidated with me and I usually can calm a person down without a situation getting out of control.
Did you have any issues getting hired and how did you cope with the academy physical fitness requirements?
I did not have any issues getting hired, I did have a hard time with the running part of the physical fitness test. Training daily I improved and got to the point that when I tested I passed.
What do you feel you bring to Mesa PD because of being a female officer?
Patience, compassion, able and willing to adapt to any situation I am put in.
Do you feel that Mesa PD is a diversified department and should the department seek harder to hire more female officers?
I think Mesa PD is diversified and does well in seeking to hire female officers.
Give one example of a situation where being a female officer helped defuse the situation?
I remember early on in my career I was on a call where a male had shoplifted items from a convenient store. A male officer was talking to the male and the male was getting more and more agitated. I stepped in and in a calm manner began to talk to the male. He stated he did not want to talk to anyone else but me and he confessed what he had done.
What is your most memorable experience as a police officer?
The most memorable case is one where we were dispatched to a shots fired call in the middle of the night which later was found to be popping noises from a house fire. An address was not given it was just in the neighborhood. We located the house, knocked on the door and were advised by neighbors that an elderly couple lived there and were in the home at the time. We tried numerous times to get them to come to the door by knocking on the front door, back door and all the windows. By the time the fire department arrived we had the couple out of the home and the fire under control. If we would not have located the fire we would not have been able to save the couple and due to our relentless efforts we did.
Do you feel the department has been supportive in assisting you to reach your career goals?
Yes. I have great support from the department as well as my supervisors and peers to assist trainings and learn more about my current position as well as any training I can attend for my future goals.
What advise would you give to women who want to become police officers?
Prepare for the job, mentally and physically. Follow your dreams and don't let anyone tell you that you can't accomplish them. I did!

Busyness or Balance: Are you living your life in Rhythm?
When we ask someone how they're doing, we used to hear "fine" or "pretty good" quite often. Now it seems we often hear, or we respond, "really busy". It's like being busy is a badge or honor, or so much a part of our life we don't even think about the implications of that response.
Join us for the Business Connection lunch. Guest speaker, Tim Bohlke will share about his personal experiences, and some solutions he has found for his own life.
Tim is a husband, father and innovator who has spent almost three decades building into the lives of leaders. As the executive director of a large youth ministry, a teacher, pastor, coach, and counselor, he has navigated the sometimes rough seas of leadership.
Through these experiences, and through his own failures and successes, he has remained passionate about creating a Harbor for leaders where they can rest, reconnect with God, and rediscover their passion, and learn to lead well for the long haul.

SPE created the A Peer Apart program to recognize dedicated individuals who have been involved in the peer review of 100 or more technical papers. Members who commit their time to review papers make substantial contributions to the industry's literature by helping to ensure that the papers published in SPE's technical journals are of the highest quality. Over time, these individuals volunteer hundreds of hours to the Society, making SPE journals a valuable resource for the industry.
This year, six individuals join the elite group of those who have reached the milestone of reviewing 100 or more technical papers—bringing the total membership of A Peer Apart to 123 dedicated members.

1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
My title is an apprentice quantity surveyor, on a daily basis I am responsible for managing Subcontract packages. This can include a range of tasks such as issueing out Subcontractor Instruction Orders, assessing Compensation Events, implementing Compensation Events, updating the tracking systems in place to manage these things and reviewing Contracts/Rates. Doing this I have to internally interact with engineers, environmental team, agents, commercial managers, the client and the project director. Other responsibilities I hold are tasks I have to complete throughout the commercial periods, such as completing the Subcontract BUF for each package I hold, completing CVR, assessing Subcontractors applications for payment, producing payment certificates and the required back up, uploading payments onto our system for the Subcontractors and finally completing and uploading their liabilities onto our system
2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
Since beginning the apprenticeship I have undertook various systems training courses, such as E1 training (our payment and liabilities system), eB training (which enables me to produce CCM's, CQT's, EWN's, CNCE's and EXT between us the contractor and the client). Also I have undertaken other internal training courses such as vehicle compliance training, difficult conversations training and NEC contracts training and programme and time change training. On top of this I have developed personal/professional skills including a greater confidence, the ability to cope better under pressure, problem solving skills, futher mathematic skills and negotiating skills.
3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
I really enjoy the programme especially as I am completing it slightly different to other, due to me completing the Level 3 Diploma in Construction and the Built Environment prior to beginning. This means that I work 5 days a week. I enjoy the work I have to complete on a daily basis as it is within my interests and also as it requires me to interact with some good people. The team here at the project are a big part of why I enjoy it so much because there is so much knowledge to learn from them which will help me progress further in my career, also people like to enjoy work and make jokes and have a laugh at the same time. The company culture is good as we are in a joint venture and we all work really good as a team to get the problems we face complete.
4. How valued do you feel by Costain?
I feel quite valued by Costain as they have provided me with a platform to achieve the career I would like to undertake, and I have started at the bottom on a apprenticeship and Costain are involved in helping me explore the next best step in how to achieve where I want to go in this career.
5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
In terms of the structure of my programme its not particularly great. But this is due to issues we encountured with my already completing the learning (Level 3 Extended Diploma) part of the apprenticeship prior to beginning.
6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?
I do recieve support training provider but not as much as i would like. My training provider is insiting on me following a higher apprenticeship block release route for my next step whilst I would really much rather undertake a day release placement at university.
6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?
I recieve a great deal of support from my employer. My manager is constantly pushing me foward and providing me with greater responsibilites and chance to prove myself. He also supports my future method of progressing forward to achieve where I would like to be. Also he has helped on problems (outisde of work) and has had a great attitude in making sure everything is okay and how to sort them out.
7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
My salary comparing to my cost is managable I would say. It would be easier if it was increased but it is a major help having my tavel cost paid for as my living cost i.e rent and lunches, dinners and etc prodominantly take up a large chunk of my wages. Im left with a small amount for social costs. I also like to move closer into central London to make it easier to get to work but is currently unmangable on my salary as it stands.
8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?
I know Costain provide employees with two days (paid) voluntary work to get involved and help out with a local community. The company also holds a yearly sports day, which on my project is merged with another Crossrail project to provide competition. Also on a weekly basis my project provide a 5-a-side football match for people to get involved with.
9. Would you recommend Costain to a friend?
9b. Why?
I would recommend Costain to a friend because they are currently helping me to achieve the career I want, and helping me get to the highest place in that career. They are also providing me with Qualifications and the funding for them which is a major help. Futhermore Costain have helped me go down a new path in life and is a fun company to work for with groundbreaking projects to get involved in, which pioneer in engieering and construction providing plenty of oppurtunities.
10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Costain?
I would advise applicants for interviews to be theirself and be honest as I was honest and wasn't really the best academical candidte the interviewers had seen that day, but I admitted that and showed drive and knowledge regarding the position itself although I didnt have it on paper and showed that I actually really wanted this.

When moving house don't try to do everything at once. Write a to-do list and and move at a pace that you feel comfortable with
Moving into a retirement property can mark the start of an exciting new chapter, with opportunities to make new friends, explore a new area and pursue lots of new interests that you might never have had time for before
Follow these 10 steps to make your move a happy one:
1. Research
Think hard about what kind of property you will need and what kind of area you would like to live in, and draw up a list of essential requirements, if need be dividing them into must haves and would-like-to haves. Do you want to be close to your family, or near a train station, or a large hospital?
Do you need two bedrooms, to be on the ground floor, to be within walking distance of the library? Amanda Tomlinson, the marketing manager for Retirementmove, the UK's specialist national property agents for retired living says: "Research is really important to. Make the decision that is right not just for today, but which will still be right in five or ten years' time."
2. Recce
Once you have identified the area you wish you move to, it is really important to actually spend time there yourself before taking the plunge, both in the retirement property itself and in the local area. Take a good look around, are the shops near enough to walk to, and open when you would like them to be open?
Are the facilities you need, such as swimming pool and leisure centre, accessible at all times of year? If possible go and visit the area at different times of day, and in different types of weather, to check whether it is still a place you would like to live.
Tomlinson says: "Go and spend time in the retirement home development. Sit down in the lounge and have a coffee, see what the other people are like and see if you think you could live there. It is important that you feel comfortable."
She adds: "Bear in mind that when you move in you may have a car but within a few years you may not be driving. So make sure there is a doctor's surgery you can walk to, and a shop where you can buy a paper and milk."
3. Downsize and declutter
The whole point about downsizing is that you are going to move into a smaller, more manageable place. So now is the ideal time to get rid of all those items that are old, or broken, or that you have never worn or used for years. It can be a wonderful feeling to clear out years of unwanted stuff, and your local charity shop will thank you for it.
Use this opportunity to talk to your family about those precious heirlooms and other items that you want to keep in the family and hand down for future generations to enjoy. You can make this a fun time of shared family memories and the idea of passing them on to the next generation.
You could even take the opportunity to give special items or jewellery to loved friends and family now. It will be so much nicer to give them now while you are still around to tell them how much they mean to you.
4. See this as a beginning, not an end
Retirement is a huge change in anyone's life and that means it can sometimes feel a bit daunting. Allow yourself to fondly remember the good times you spent in your old house, but then look forward to all the new memories you are going to create in your new home.
5. Get expert help
There are lots of services you can call on to make your move easier, from removal firms which will do the packing for you to experts who will declutter your home. Use them. Retirementmove, for example, is a one stop shop which can help manage the entire process from decluttering to house movers.
It also runs a part exchange programme which can really help speed up the process as they will buy your existing home from you so you can buy your new build retirement property without delay. Your home will be valued by an independent RICS qualified surveyor and Retirementmove will agree a purchase price with you. No need to wait until you've sold your existing home to buy and move into your new retirement home – you can begin your new life straightaway.
6. Stay in touch with family and friends
This is important – surveys show that staying in touch with old friends is a key component to living a long and happy life. Make sure you make it easy for them to come and visit by choosing an area with good transport links – a fast motorway, a regular train service, a good bus route and so on. Then find a property which is perfect for entertaining – with a good sized reception room, a guest bedroom and parking available outside.
7. Take it one step at a time
Moving house can be stressful at any age so don't try to do everything all at once. Write a to-do list and carry it with you everywhere, and move at a pace you feel comfortable with. Tomlinson says: "It is a huge emotional decision to move into a retirement house because usually people are moving from their family home where they have spent many years. It is a big step."
8. Spare yourself the chores
The last thing you want to do in retirement is spend hours with a screwdriver and paintbrush repairing and fixing things, so choose a low maintenance property which is ready to move into.
9. Let someone else do the gardening
Gardens are lovely to look at and enjoy but they are really hard work to maintain, particularly as you get older. Either factor in the cost of a weekly gardener, or choose a retirement property that has, or even better, overlooks communal gardens that you can enjoy without any effort on your part.
10. Go for it
Retirement is the one golden period in your life where you can truly stop for a while and decide what it is you really want to do with the time you have left. A survey conducted by Retirementmove into Life's 50 Golden Rules found that staying optimistic and laughing as much as possible were key to having a happy and fulfilling life.
The survey of 1,360 adults aged 60 and over also found that making the most of each day and enjoying the later stages of life was a great remedy for any regrets, with 60 per cent of those asked saying they usually live life with a smile on their face day to day.

I'm a recent college grad and my plans were to continue working in sports broadcasting like I did with my college. Now that I'm job hunting I'm running into a wall where I'm not getting any interviews or offers despite having 2 years experience in the industry. I'm stuck right now cause I'm planning on moving back home and it's an area with plenty of broadcast opportunities but I'm just not hearing anything back. My dad offered me a position with his company where I would still be involved in video production and journalism (my major) but I wouldn't be in the broadcast or sports entertainment industry like I want. I need the money and wouldn't be opposed to exploring this new career path (it has a nice salary bracket with experience) but I'm apprehensive about giving up on where I want to be. Should I accept the position or continue job hunting? Is there shame in accepting a job offer from a parent?
TL;DR: Dad offered me a job but it's not in the industry I want to be in. Should I accept the offer or keep job hunting and is there negative stigma from accepting a job offer from a parent?

"She put it up on the school bulletin board, and that gave me such a jump-start toward writing more things,"
"We wanted to guide the musicians, so we could create our own sound. We would never let the band just go in and play the chord sheets. We were very focused on what we had in mind for these productions."

.... sharing my love of stamping, colouring & paperKRafting with you ....
15 November 2012
Watercolor Winter does Triple time
I must be the last demo in the world to do the technique of Triple Time stamping but I love it, the cutting is fiddly but as I know that I can pre-order the new Stampin' Up! trimmer tomorrow (it'll be on sale on December 1st in NZ RRP $59.95); so this would make a really effective Christmas card to mass produce for Christmas & I hope the attendees at my home class tomorrow think so (this is one of 3 cards they're creating).
Stamp sets: Watercolor Winter, Greetings of the Season, Creative Elements
Ink: Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Riding Hood Red, Cherry Cobbler
Paper: Very Vanilla, Soft Suede, Champagne Glimmer
Other: Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details
