A memory suitcase for Liverpool's LGBT+ community!
28 July 2017 by Matt
Through our House of Memories dementia awareness programme we aim to show people how to deliver a positive quality of life experience for people living with dementia.
There are thought to be more than 800,000 people in the UK living with dementia, each person with their own individual story, background, relationships, and care requirements.
As part of our memory suitcase loan service you can borrow a suitcase filled with images and objects to help you deliver a reminiscence session with someone living with dementia. By recognising that each person has an individual story we felt it was vitally important to offer a range of suitcases to reflect different experiences and lives lived.
Working on the Pride and Prejudice project I did a lot of reminiscence work with older LGBT+ people, hearing their fantastic stories and finding out what life was like in the city for them. I realised how important it was for there to be a dedicated LGBT+ memory suitcase that the community could loan. Read more…
Pride and Prejudice – we need you
23 November 2016 by Matt
Pride and Prejudice: Bringing stories out of the closet is a groudbreaking project to reveal the sometimes hidden LGBT histories of objects held at National Museums Liverpool's art galleries and the Museum of Liverpool. The results of what the team have uncovered can be found on the project web pages, with more to be added at the end of this month.
A two year project, there is still much to come in the next 12 months.
In the next few weeks, there are two opportunities to meet the team at the Walker Art Gallery on 30 November, and the Museum of Liverpool on 10 December. Come and find out what's planned for 2017 and see how you can get involved.
The Passing of an Icon – Marky J
16 November 2016 by Matt
Within a week of starting on the Pride and Prejudice project at the Museum of Liverpool I found myself in the drag room of Garlands nightclub on a Thursday lunchtime. It was then that I first met Mark Jenkins, famous on the Liverpool scene as Marky J…
National Museums Liverpool has Pride!
28 July 2016 by Matt
I remember my first Liverpool Pride, back in 2010. I was finishing off my university year and I stumbled across it quite by accident. Needless to say I had an amazing time and funnily enough I will be having another Pride first this year.
On Saturday, for the first time ever, National Museums Liverpool will have a stall at Liverpool Pride where we'll be showcasing the work we've been carrying out as part of our Pride and Prejudice project. Read more…
There's no place like Garlands!
21 July 2016 by Matt
This morning we opened a new display – There's no place like Garlands! – celebrating the iconic Liverpool nightclub, to coincide with Liverpool Pride, 30-31 July.
About a year ago, I'd just started working on the Pride and Prejudice project and within a week I found myself in the Garland's drag room uncovering the story of a club I actually knew very little about. Amongst the sequins and feather boas I learned the importance and significance behind the music and sparkle. Read more…
LGBT History Month – get involved

We've some exciting news… Next year, for the first time ever, the Museum of Liverpool will be hosting the North West hub for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) History Month and we need you! Read more…
LGBT collections online – our first themes go live!
17 May 2016 by Matt
To mark International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia (IDAHO) we have launched the first sections of our LGBT online collections page as part of our Pride and Prejudice project. The first goal of IDAHO is to raise awareness of discrimination against LGBT people worldwide and use that awareness as a way of promoting activism and dialogue. The second goal is to promote a highly visible, global LGBT event, which in 2014 was celebrated in over 130 countries, including 37 where same-sex acts are still illegal. Read more…
The one and only: Lady Seanne
9 May 2016 by Matt
Working in a museum it isn't that often that you see a familiar face pop up from out of the collections, but whilst I was busy doing research for the Pride and Prejudice project I got the feeling I was being watched. The same face peering back at me, a face I knew I recognised but couldn't quite place. Then it hit me, that's Shaun!
I'd met Shaun, better known around Liverpool as Lady Seanne, in 2012 when we were both working on the play, 'Elegies for Angels, Punks and Raging Queens'.
Now that I knew Lady Seanne was represented in our collection it gave me the perfect reason to re-connect with Shaun over a drink in The Lisbon, all in the name of research of course! Read more…
Remembering Nelson Asu
29 March 2016 by Matt
Working on the Pride and Prejudice project I often encounter things that I find familiar, like a bar, or a band. Just as often I find out stories that I had not heard before, some funny, some shocking, and some heart breaking.
Early on in the project we uncovered a copy of APN magazine, from January 1997, with Lily Savage on the front cover. Looking through the magazine I found an article, 'Murder hunt in Merseyside', which described the 1996 murder of Nelson Asu. I'd never heard his name before.
Eventually I found myself in touch with Nelson Asu's sister, Vanessa, and after meeting her I understood that Nelson's story had to be told. Read more…
Brookie: A few LGBT 'firsts' and a kiss that went global
5 February 2016 by Matt
Working on the Pride and Prejudice project means that I spend a lot of my time thinking about the story of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Trans people in Liverpool. February is LGBT History Month in the United Kingdom and this means a whole month where a lot of people are thinking about the history of LGBT people.
Sometimes LGBT history can crop up in rather unexpected places. Did you know that the Liverpool-based soap opera Brookside was responsible for a few LGBT 'firsts' not just in the UK but internationally? Read more…

Hmmm. My sister thought up this one, and I'm a little more than a little intimidated. She says you can take ten items and make thirty outfits, but I'm going to have to see it to believe it. So... I'm going to challenge myself, and her, and any other crazy fashionistas I know, to come up with ten item, thirty outfit thing. Does that seem possible? One way to find out. I'm not suggesting the actual thirty day wearing of those ten things, just a photo collage and a nice big dress up party with the body double. It could be really exciting to integrate in a seasonal capsule kind of thing. Hmmm.
Oh, to start off the inspiration, I have a link to NEXT a malaysian fashion company that is about low consumer, high yield products. They carry it to the next level. Ten items for 1 year. Gasp. Did I just say a year? Oh, yeah:0 The lady who did the black dress for one year is going to do it, so we'll have to check that out every once in awhile. Here's the link http://theultraultra.com/?page_id=862 to Next. We're talking about jackets that transform into pants, that kind of thing. Mind boggling but very very cool.

Precious/Bullion metals (Gold and Silver) are trading lower on MCX Commodity Market today. We expect prices to trade lower for the following trading session remaining under pressure due to a firm dollar. All base metals are trading on a negative note today. We expect prices to trade lower for the day on account of a stronger dollar. Crude oil is trading lower on MCX Commodity today. We expect prices to trade lower for the day on account of a stronger dollar and expectations of rising U.S. crude stocks offset Iranian threats to halt a vital oil trade route.
NCDEX Agri Commodity Market Trading Tips:
Pepper futures may trade sideways. Jeera futures extended the down trend due to weak cues from the spot market. Jeera futures may remain below 16,400 levels owing to profit booking from higher levels. Turmeric futures traded mixed following the rise in spot prices. Cardamom futures gained due to positive cues from the physical market. Pepper prices traded lower after making a high of 33150. We expect if prices break and sustain below the same may see further fall towards 32100 then 31800 levels for the day.

Player Ratings
Arriola, Yedlin and Wood Shine Against Puerto Rico
May 23, 2016
AS EXPECTED, the United States men's national team defeated Puerto Rico on Sunday in a friendly that featured many players not included on the Copa America Centenario roster. On an individual level, some players helped build their cases to be involved later in the year, while others, like DeAndre Yedlin, continued to play well after a strong club season.
Here are my player ratings for the first of three friendlies this week.
Brad Guzan: Guzan was rarely challenged in 45 minutes of action. Puerto Rico's goal from Luis Betancur was unstoppable. Otherwise, he didn't do anything to help or harm his status as the United States' No. 1 keeper. Rating: 5.5
DeAndre Yedlin: Building on a solid season in the English Premier League, Yedlin came out very lively and full of energy. His final ball was a little off but he was dangerous and helped open up the game. Defensively he did not make any significant mistakes. He's heading into the Copa America with real momentum. Rating: 7
Michael Orozco: Orozco went a full 90 in central defense and, like Brooks, could have done better in his positioning on Luis Betancur's goal. On the positive side of the ledger, he made a very nice pass in the build-up to Paul Arriola's goal. Rating: 5.5
John Brooks: The Hertha defender was lackadaisical in his one half of action. He could have done better on the goal and his distribution out of the back did not really aid in the attack. His replacement, Matt Miazga, was an improvement. Rating: 5
Tim Ream: Normally a central defender, Ream was given the start at left back and surprisingly came up with the first goal when he pounced on rebound on Matthew Sanchez's save. He was beaten a few times defensively and aside from the goal he wasn't involved much in the attack. Rating: 5.5
Perry Kitchen: The Heart of Midlothian midfielder made the Copa America Centenario roster—to the surprise of many—and against Puerto Rico he was given the start at right midfield, an unusual spot for him. In his 45 minutes of action his passing was pretty good and his solid defensive positioning helped force turnovers. He wasn't a factor offensively, however. Rating: 5.5
Danny Williams: The defensive midfielder broke up some plays from Puerto Rico but was capable of more against a weak opponent. He has the ability to get forward but was rather pedestrian in the game. Rating: 5.5
Alejandro Bedoya: The midfielder from Nantes wore the captain's armband and he responded with a solid, assertive performance. He delivered a quality assist on Arriola's goal to put the game away. Rating: 6.5
Alfredo Morales: The Ingolstadt midfielder had a hand in the first goal when Puerto Rico goalkeeper Matthew Sanchez was unable to hang onto his shot from distance, allowing Ream to pounce on the rebound. In the second half he forced another save from a long-distance effort. Aside from the shots, it was a decent outing marked by some rugged tackles. He helped the U.S. maintain possession but wasn't creative in the final third. Rating: 6
Bobby Wood: The newly signed Hamburg SV striker is coming into his own on this team and his 34th-minute goal was a well-executed play off a smart run. He wasn't always dangerous but when he was involved, he was a threat to score. Rating: 7
Paul Arriola: It was a dream debut for the Tijuana attacker who picked up a goal, an assist, and was dangerous throughout. He was able to use his speed effectively to open up the game. Rating: 7.5
Tim Howard: Like Guzan, he was rarely tested and made the easy saves. Rating: 5.5
Matt Miazga: The Chelsea youngster came in at the half for Brooks and played well. He won his challenges and his distribution out of the back was an upgrade as the U.S. team sought to assert itself. Rating: 6
Julian Green: Making his first national team appearance since 2014, Green was dangerous and forced Sanchez into making a good save minutes after coming on in the 63rd minute. He had numerous occasions where it looked like he was going to be involved in a goal. Rating: 6.5
Emerson Hyndman: Like Green, Hyndman was active and involved after coming on to start the second half. He pressed hard to push the U.S. team's attack. Rating: 6.5
Eric Lichaj: The often-overlooked fullback from Nottingham Forest came into the game in the 63rd minute and showed a willingness and ability to press forward. He made a nice run into the box late in the game which nearly resulted in a goal. Rating: 6
Fafa Picault: Making his first appearance with the national team, the St. Pauli forward looked eager but nervous. His speed helped get him into dangerous positions on a few occasions but his execution was not quite there on the afternoon. Rating: 5.0

Biographical learning: a process for promoting person-centredness in nursing
Howatson-Jones, L., Thurgate, C., Graber, M., Jordan, D., Thompson, J. and Hartnett, C. (2013) Biographical learning: a process for promoting person-centredness in nursing. International Practice Development Journal, 3 (1). pp. 1-11. ISSN 2046-9292.

Background: This paper explores biographical approaches to nurses' learning. It builds on previous PhD research to consider the effects of such approaches, drawing on the experiences of learners who have recently completed biographical study, in their own words.
Aims and objectives: The aim of the paper is to make sense of different forms of learning. The objectives are to identify how autobiographical approaches that involve people learning from their life stories can engage people to exert agency, or ownership, in their own lives by taking control of their learning plans.
Design: This longitudinal study started with the first group of learners undertaking a biographical preparation module on an Applied BSc Health and Social Care programme.
Methods: Research relating to nurses' learning is considered, including a Swiss perspective, as well as the validity of the biographical approach to developing knowledge. The learners share stories of their learning in order to develop understanding and new insights into their own lives and those of others. Results: Different dimensions of learning including learning about self, learning to make a difference and processes of repair are revealed through the learners' narrations.
Conclusions: Engaging biographically, to make sense of different forms of learning, appears to be beneficial to more person-centred working.
Implications for practice:
•Introducing biographical elements into courses of study can benefit learners by helping them to make sense of who they are as learners and practitioners
•Co-creating compelling spaces of learning can facilitate learners to exert agency within their own lives as well as help others to learn. By exerting agency we mean taking ownership of the learning revealed through the biographical work and taking it forward in positive ways to enhance person-centred care.

Year after year, the United States and their respective developmental leagues have a strong presence at the NHL Draft.
First-year eligibles in 2014 are looking to continue the trend.
While there doesn't appear to be a player ready to compete for the first overall pick, the crop from the United States Hockey League is a deep one. As the season begins, there are several players from these leagues to keep a close eye on. In addition, there are several interesting battles of sorts to watch as well.
The first comes from the National Team Development Program that is perennially deep with draft talent. There are several players at the NTDP who could hear their name called first. Sonny Milano, Jack Dougherty, Dylan Larkin and Jack Glover are all special talents and have potential to go in the first round
Right now, the clear-cut favorite to be selected first is the flashy Milano. The five-foot-11 Milano displays elite speed along with a great set of hands.
Dougherty, one of the NTDP newcomers, reminds a bit of fellow Minnesotan Tommy Vannelli (St. Louis, 2nd 2013) but with a much more polished game at this point compared to last year. Dougherty has the potential to sneak into the first round with a strong year.
Larkin, who was sometimes lost in the forward depth at the NTDP on the U17 team last year, has good size with impressive offensive sense. The Michigan commit will likely play center the entire year for the U18 team, but can also play left wing.
The final player in the mix for the top NTDP selection in the upcoming draft is Glover. The six-foot-three defenseman is a great skater and sees the ice very well.
Minnesota High School Hockey is lacking draft talent compared to prior years, but Edina's Dylan Malmquist and Eden Prairie's Steven Spinner display top-100 talent amongst the rest of the first-year draft eligible players.
Both are very quick forwards, though Malmquist is more known for his elite offensive ability and Spinner for his all-around game. The Lake Conference foes will face off head-to-head for the first time Dec. 21 and again on Jan. 30 — a can't miss for scouts.
Out East, Ryan Donato is the player who could make a Ryan Fitzgerald-like (Boston, 4th 2013) emergence. Son of Harvard head coach and former NHL player Ted Donato, scouts have seen a growth both physically and in his game in the last year. Donato may not get many opportunities to stand out playing for Dexter (Mass.) School so his addition to Thursday's All-American Prospects Game is big for the skilled center.
Staying out East, Boston College goaltender Thatcher Demko is the premier draft eligible collegiate player. The San Diego native and NTDP alum's mix of size and athleticism will make him a highly sought after goaltender come the draft. Scouts will get their looks at Demko as he is likely to be the starter for the nationally ranked Eagles team.
With the amount of players in the US that are receiving draft consideration this draft season for scouts should be a busy one. The formal viewing of these players has already begun in some leagues but much is still to play out in the US.

This is a beautiful and well made wedding dress. It's simple, elegant and dreamy dreamy, which was exactly what I wanted for my wedding. Lace with gold accents on the top, and tulle on bottom. The color is ivory, which is a very soft white. It also came with a sash. I got so many compliments and love my wedding pictures in this dress.
Just for reference, I am 5'5", 120lb, and the dress (size 2) fits me perfectly. I did hem the length because the original length was way too long. So the dress now just touches the floor with my 3¼"" heels :) I danced all night in it and was comfortable.
The dress also came with tulle straps that can be used to wear the dress differently, see the link for style options:
Hemmed the length to just touching the floor for easy walking/dancing. For reference, I am 5'5'' and wearing 3¼'' heels in the pictures.

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
May you walk in the shadow of the Great Spirit~To help others is a special gift we can either give or take~The more you give the more you receive~

The ability to reuse packaging becomes an important factor in decision buying as in "Oh, I really like the looks of this ketchup bottle.
|Nathan's shower guest
You begin to debate names for the lizard that resides under the couch.
You no longer give more than a glance when said lizard decides to exit for a stroll.
The cousin of said lizard is fully accepted as a shower guest by your four year old.
A forecast in the upper 80's sounds like a cool spell.
Dust becomes an acceptable household accessory. (Dusty chic is really close to shabby chic, right?)
Most of your conversations among a group of women end up being about food- mostly what is available in the shops for a good price this week.
Your children's legs are almost as much dirt as skin from the knee down at the end of the day.
You no longer wince when your 7 year old (or 4 year old) swings on a rope from 15 feet up in a tree. (You do pray though.)
Cheese becomes a valid addition to the Christmas list.
You question turning the oven or stove on after 9 am because of the heat.
You no longer wake up when a rooster crows (but it is another story when it is four roosters dueling for an hour.)

I've decided to take an indefinite hiatus.
I originally started this because I wanted to discuss religion/science/epistemology issues, and, at this point, I sort of feel like I've said everything that I could think of to say. Combine that with the busyness of life, and there you go...
Thank you for your attention. I may pop on for particular rants, if any come to mind, but for the moment, I won't be continuing my punctual and regular discussions, as I have over the past year and a half.
In part, I'd like to recharge, as well as rethink what I'd like to do next, whether it's this channel, or another. Maybe I'll go back to some programming projects, or maybe take this channel in a new direction... who knows.
Frankly, I'm exhausted from arguing with people, to the point where I'm just tuning out these days. I'd be nice to have a nice rational conversation with some theists, where it doesn't descend into having a shouting match with a lunatic who's denying that logic works, or depends on fairies, but apparently that's too much to ask. The more sane ones aren't in the ring.
So again, thank you for following. We'll see what happens next.

The Lukas LK7300 is one of the first cameras on the market to utilize a separate recording unit where the SD card is contained. This feature gives users the peace of mind that their footage will still be available even if the camera was stolen which might even assist in catching the perp. The drawback to this design is that the overall packaging is a little bulkier and you'll need to find room to store the secondary recording unit. The blue and silver colourway on the recording unit looks really tacky so it's best to have it tucked away. The camera unit itself is a little smaller than the chunky looking Lukas LK7900 but for a unit with most of its internals in a secondary unit it feels like Lukas could've made the LK7300 a bit smaller.
The form factor and cheap design of the recording unit might not be for everyone
Inside the Box
Included with the Lukas LK7300 are the usual cigarette jack, adhesive tapes, and English manual. The adhesive mount for the camera unit is not like the FineVu or Blackvue products which have a quick release method to remove the main unit from the vehicle which may be an inconvenience if you want to hide it. Like other Lukas dashcams, a universal screw type UV filter is included, you can also opt for the CPL filter for better colours during the day. The Lukas 7300 also has an external GPS unit however the sheer size of it is a little ridiculous, check out our unboxing video to see (6:10 mark). Also included is a 8GB SD (not-Micro SD) card not particularly useful on a 1080P 30FPS device but the 7300 can support cards up to 128GB.
Where the Lukas LK7300 really didn't impress us was the number of features, especially considering the size of the overall package, where Blackvue can integrate WiFi and GPS in something not much larger than a highlighter, the 3-piece LK7300 doesn't even have WiFi. Furthermore, in our testing we found parking mode to be pretty lazy/slow to respond and as a result doesn't capture as much as we'd like. The only noteworthy feature which may not appeal to everyone is the separate recording body in the event of a break in.
The Lukas LK7300 is equipped with a Sony EXMOR CMOS sensor and a 137 degree lens which is a pretty good angle that is sufficiently wide without causing distortion. We have lots of sample videos on our YouTube channel for both daytime and night so be sure to check them out in 1080P HD. In our opinion the Lukas 7300 just isn't as sharp as the comparably priced FineVu CR500HD which also uses a Sony EXMOR CMOS sensor and has a similar lens angle. This may be the result of poor lens optics but particularly in night time testing there is almost an out of focus look when you pay attention to light sources. We see this type of blurring quite often during rain testing but as can be seen below the weather conditions were just about perfect.
Note the blurriness emanating from the taillights and streetlamps. Also the signs and license plates are not all that sharp.
Unless you really need a separate recording unit we'd definitely recommend sticking to the Blackvue or Finevu dashcams. The parking mode isn't great and there is no WiFi, furthermore the overall dimensions are bulky and the design isn't that attractive in our opinion. The price is fair for what you get but the LK7300 wouldn't really be our first choice for a single channel dashcam.

Interview with YA author Michael Harmon
Today I have a treat for you–an interview with YA author Michael Harmon–author of SKATE, LAST EXIT TO NORMAL, BRUTAL, THE CHAMBER OF FIVE, A KID FROM SOUTHIE, and UNDER THE BRIDGE.
Q: Why do you write?
A: I'd have to sell pencils at the airport if I didn't, but there's a passion and love for writing that pencil selling doesn't give me.
Q: I hear you.
What do you love about writing?
A: I love writing because it is absolute freedom.
Q: What don't you like about the publishing business? (Or about writing.)
A: What I occasionally have difficulty with about the business side of writing is that the essential premise of money is necessarily contrary to the foundation of the freedom writing gives me. I do, however, find that the compromises I need to make for the sake of our society's sometimes odd boundaries and political systems are miniscule compared to the blessing of reaching my readers in a positive way. I will add that most publishers do a fantastic job of juggling the ethos of expression with the realities of business. With the occasional controversies surrounding the first three novels I have on the shelves, my agent and publisher have been incredibly stalwart, courageous and supportive of my principles, which sometimes go against the business ethic of making money. They have my absolute respect, and I return their loyalty with trust.
Q: What would you want in your ideal writing studio? What does your writing space look like now?
A: I've no desire for a writing studio. It would remind me of an office, and I'm not an office kind of person. My writing space looks like a queen-sized bed with my English Mastiff, Hank, snoring next to me as I grind out chapters on my laptop.
Q: (laughing) I'm not an office kind of person, either. Writing with your dog beside you sounds lovely.
Where do you write most often?
A: On my bed.
Q: What do you think is the most important thing (or things) that makes a good book work?
A: Truth. Every horrible passage I've ever vomited out can be traced to me not being true to the story, characters, and my craft.
Q: I like what you said, Michael; I think truth woven into fiction makes it powerful.
What is your favorite type of book to read?
A: Anything that bleeds honesty, and anything that makes me forget I'm reading by making me feel it. Cormac McCarthy's THE ROAD did that to me.
Q: I love that in books, too.
What are some of your favorite YA books? How about picture books?
A: I've only read three YA books in my life. I'm weird that way. Does Maxim count as a picture book?
Q: Ahem. No. (smiling)
How much of yourself or your own experiences and emotions do you put in your books?
A: I put my entire being into every novel I write, though I never portray specific circumstances….just the emotions and perspectives I think are universal to being human. I believe that a writer who fears their feelings, whether they be moral, immoral, angelic, or evil, will find it difficult to portray their characters as honest and real.
Q: I agree, Michael. I think the most powerful fiction has our emotional experience in it.
What is your favorite book that you wrote? Why?
A: I've written twenty-four novels, so it's hard to pin a definition on 'favorite'. My favorite, symbolically, is the first I ever completed, unpublished, and will never be published because the writing sucks. But it's what hooked me.
Q: Wow! You are a really prolific writer. And I get what you're saying; my first book is my favorite, too.
What do you want to tell readers?
A: Buy my books. They make great doorstops. I do enjoy speaking with students about motivation, success, and how to use mistakes as stepping stones on the path to value in this world.
Q: Where can readers find you online?
Q: What are you working on now? Or what's your next book that we can look for?
A: A Kid From Southie, The Chamber Of Five, and Under The Bridge should be hitting the shelves from now until next fall, I've just submitted a new novel, and I'm currently working on two YA novels. Since I have some time on my hands, I'm also writing an adult contemporary novel.
Thank you, Michael, for a great interview! I really enjoyed your answers.
Folks, I hope you'll check out Michael's site.

Highland Heights pool looking forward to improvements
June 15, 2017
Filed under Beyond MHS, Showcase
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
After complaints and concerns of understaffing last year, Highland Heights pool made changes they hope will make for a more successful summer.
Families and individuals that attend the pool in the summer seemed to have decreased over the last couple years. Anthony Piazza, a manager of the pool, feels very strongly about expanding the lifeguard count. He said, "We first have been working on getting more guards for the pool, so that the same people aren't working the same shifts all the time and getting tired or distracted while working."
The pool offers a four-day summer class learning more about lifeguarding and ensuring that the current and incoming guards knowing all there is about lifeguarding and their certification to be a guard.
"We want to start with the guards, improving how they work," Piazza said. "If we change the way they work, it can draw in a bigger crowd, knowing that their are certified guards on duty to ensure the safety of kids who come to the pool."
The pool has had many applications for working this coming summer due to the advertising of their desire for more guards. "Instead of having less guards who get anxious and distracted because they work too much, increasing the amount of guards will create a better rotation and even out the shifts so that parents see hard working and attentive guards all the time, to feel safer about bringing their kids to our pool," Piazza said.
The pool is also offering swimming lessons for the kids to participate in. "The lessons are based on a level system, 1-7, level 1 being the first stage and 7 being swim team level," Piazza said.
Mayfield graduate Felice Ferrante is a swim team coach who feels that the swim lessons program at Highland Heights greatly benefits kids. She said, "The swim team is the last level, but it's definitely the most fun because young kids get to join a team with other kids of all ages and abilities to learn from each other and grow as swimmers."
"I went through lessons and then decided I wanted to further myself in the sport and joined the Suburban Swim League (SSL) team," Ferrante says, "and I've been swimming ever since."
The desire to increase the amount of guards on duty, the pool would then increase the amount of guards supervising and teaching lessons. "Each level has its guards that each it," Piazza said. "Basically it's just different stages and aspects of swimming, getting a little bit harder and harder each time."
Gina Burich is a French teacher at Mayfield High School and said, "I personally have never done the lessons before, simply because of time, but now that they are offering the afternoon session, we may be able to do them now."
Ferrante believes that the Highland Heights pool lessons program ultimately determined her future. "I'm going into my sophomore year at John Carroll and I'm still swimming and I still even remember my lessons from when I was 5 years old, " Ferrante said. "The lessons are so memorable and flexible now that they're offering two different lesson option times."
Current lifeguard and coach Matthew Kenosh also benefits from the new options. "I'm pretty busy over the summer and I don't have too much time for extra working because I already coach in the morning and evening, " Kenosh said, "so I have to get all my hours for the week in between practices, so the new time of lessons gives me another chance in the day to get some hours in without interfering with coaching ."
In addition to the morning session, the afternoon lessons from 5-6 will hopefully draw more participation. "After each stage, the guards who teach that level give an evaluation of the kids individually that tell whether they can move onto the next level or if they have to redo a specific one," Piazza said.
Nothing was questioned about the ability of the guards, considering the applying guards have to go through certification with the Red Cross. "The guards are trained and certified to give lessons by the Red Cross, but we just want to increase the amount of guards to give all guards a chance to teach and give lessons," Piazza said.
With hopes to increase participation in lessons and attendance in the community pool, Highland Heights is working on and already succeeding in their effort to increase guards at the pool.

Good morning friend's! How are ya?? Again, I have a new refreshing post for y'all to react yer eyes upon so let's get started…
On our fifth day, we were set to go to the Oasis Zoo… too eager maybe as we set our alarms to wake up for 7am but of course, our phones times are all messed up and so we woke up at 6am… the sun wasn't even up yet!
As we wondered sleepily for the pick up hotel for the bus that would take us there, we realised that we had to be there earlier than we thought, so the sleepy walk turned into a power walk to catch a bus that ended up being late anyways!
Two hours later, our feet touched down on the grainy, pebbly ground that was the entrance to the zoo and our spirits brightened considerably!
The zoo itself had a wide selection of animals including these guys!
Giraffes of course, are my favourite animal and I was able to feed them as well as the zebras, ponies, emus and the like!
Near the end of our trip, my brother, my dad and myself all had the pleasure of joining a small group in having a lemur experience. We actually got to go into the enclosure and see them up close and personal! We also learned more about them from the keeper that was in charge of leading the group.
Below is a photo that I took of a small group of lemurs gathered together with a baby attaching itself to the mother… it was the cutest thing.
This guy greeted us at the beginning and was a real hippy in character! I took this as we left but never thought he would actually look directly into the camera!
At the end of the day, we suffered through the two hour journey back, by the end of which, we were all spent. We ended up buying food for tea at the supermarket and collapsed onto the sofa as soon as we could!
And that was the end of the day… There's more tomorrow so stay tuned! Take care friend's, until next time~*

Smoking is hazardous to health, it not only worsen your lungs health but shortens your life span too. However, the fact is well known to everyone but still the person cannot omit this ugly lust and continues to put down his health. Until the patient, get hospitalized. There happens a tragic incidence with a colleague of mine. He was a chain smoker, who used to smoke "N" number of cigarettes in a day. He was that much lusty to smoke that he cannot even stand for an hour. He begins to feel anxious and restlessness if he does not inhale the smoke. His smoke abuse makes him stand alone from his family. Actually, he has a very sweet daughter, who was born with many difficulties to the couple. The girl has a very poor immune system with lung capacity far lower than a healthy child does. The doctors discovered that the Passive Smoking is the reason behind the child unusual health in such a low age of 3 years. As both the parent smokes. The doctor gave the couple a warning to omit the habit of smoking or else be ready for the funeral of their daughter in coming year. The news shook the couple and they went for counseling with a physician on the advice of their family doctor. The physician, family doctor, and a psychiatrist completely washes the brain of the couple and boost them to live a healthy life devoid of any smoke or alcohol abuse if they want their child to live a healthy and better life. The couple was boosted to the extent that they immediately went to the church and ask forgiveness from the Jesus for the sin they cause to their child and pledge not to smoke again in their whole life. From the same day, they initiated the therapy called Champix Quit Smoking Pill and then never abuse the smoke.

I started packing today. Not in suitcases (it's too early for that yet), but my yarn and knitted items. I've been fretting about the ones I'm leaving at home (mostly knitted items as I cut my yarn stash way down in preparation for this move), worrying that they would get munched by bugs in my absence. So I decided to put everything in ziploc bags, in the hopes that this would minimize or avoid this problem. I may even put the ziplocs in some plastic tubs, but I'm not sure that'll actually help.
At any rate, Robert bought me a bunch of huge ziploc bags today, and I packed all of my knitted items that I'm not planning to bring to India or wear in the 17 days remaining to us here in New York. And I put all of my yarn in bags, other than the stuff I'm currently knitting with. It was oddly satisfying to seal everything up! And I felt productive, like I was actually making progress towards being prepared, so that was nice too.
Less nice was trying to decide which shawls to bring with me. I expect I'll get more use from shawls than from sweaters, but I also don't expect I'll wear a lot of wool shawls, even very lightweight ones. But I love them so! I really wanted to bring 5 or 6, but I'm limiting myself to 2-3. Sigh. Probably 2. I must be practical! And I am bringing yarn to knit more while I'm there, though I'm not sure how (or if) I'll be able to block them.
Zion and I are both still sick- snot, coughing, asthma, the works. So glad we're not driving to Chicago tomorrow, even if I do get sad about not seeing everyone there when I think about it. I've been making and taking a tonic with apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, honey, and hot water, which I really think has done wonders for my throat. When I got sick I lost my voice pretty much right away, and my throat hurt like crazy, even drinking water made me wince. A day on vinegar tonic and my sore throat was gone and my voice started coming back. Two days and my voice is totally back to normal.

Yankee Swap
We also had a Yankee Swap. I gave a mug and some hot chocolate. Value was around $18. The suggested value for the swap was $10. I was ok spending more since I wanted to give more than just the hot chocolate which was $10 (the tall container in the picture). There are two diff size mugs and I went with the larger one. I also included a gift receipt, so worst case someone could get whatever they wanted. Overall, I thought it was a good gift.
Well, it's swap time, and the first person to choose picked my gift! She opened it and everyone seemed to like it. I picked 4th (out of 20) and I chose a set of beer glasses. I didn't need them, but there wasn't really anything I wanted to trade it for, so I kept them. I figured I could give them to Andrew, or maybe try to return them. Unfortunately my luck was going to run out. Later in the game, someone opened this and traded for my beer glasses.
Some crappy WWF game. Great. What the hell am I supposed to do with this? I don't think I even know anyone who would want it. I guess that's the nature of a Yankee Swap. You never know what you're going to get. But why would you even buy such crap?
I will say, for the most part the gifts were good. Really only two "bad" gifts- this and an ant farm. But the ant farm is at least somewhat better since there's an office joke around it.
Better luck next year, right?

- Christine said...
again I don't know why someone thinks that is FUN to spend their money on something crappy. Too bad you got stuck with it..hopefully you can find someone or save it for next year's swap!

I was just talking to a friend here at work (in a different department) who has a 10 year old cousin who loves wrestling, so I think she'll be taking it off my hands. Otherwise it migth have been going to Toys For Tots.
- Tami said...
why would some purchased that? unless a regift. that's what dave's office does, it has to be a regift.
i normally don't participate because i always end up with the crappy gifts because i hate to take a gift away from someone.
- Chris said...
I would have been fine taking a gift away from someone, just didn't have the opportunity after I was stuck with the crappy gift.
I was able to give it to my friend though for her cousin.
- Tracy said...
Has to be a regift! Sorry your luck was so bad!
- {Amanda} said...
this is why i HATE office yankee swaps. . . i LOVE the gift you gave!!!! i actually lucked out and pulled #1 in our office swap .. but almost 100% of our stuff was alcohol LOL

As promised, I wanted to follow up last weeks blog post releasing my new yoga images with a BTS video and images from the shoot. In the past, these posts have been more of a step-by-step process at the retouching aspect but this time I wanted to give you a better look as to what it's like on one of my sets. I always try to make it as comfortable, friendly, and fun as possible since we are all going to be spending the rest of the day together. I think this definitely comes across in the video!
But, I know there are still going to be some of you that really want to know more about the retouching. I put together a very short video that shows the layer progression from start to finish so you can see the single city image that I began with and the final composite that I posted last week. I may eventually do a more detailed look into the compositing but for now this is going to have to do.

Thought of the Day: April 19, 2018 – The First Step
Lao Tzu said, "The Journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." This means the first step is the most important one to take. Every other step cannot happen if the first one does not exist.
What is the first move you need to take but have been reluctant to take? Are you afraid to start a business, take action on your hobby or join a group?
If you are not able to take that first step, it is important to know why you are not able to do so. What do you fear? Is failure a part of your belief system before you ever start?
If it is you may never take the first step. This is because you believe there is no value to begin because you will only end up failing at the end.
I am telling you to start and not focus on the outcome. Whatever outcome you imagine you will have at the end, can change. The way you will ultimately accomplish your goal will also most likely change.
If you are not able to take the first step then ask someone for help. Be accountable to them if you cannot be accountable to yourself. You will thank yourself when you reflect on the past.

Three Great Christian Symbols To Decorate Your Home
As a believer in the teachings of Christ, it takes frequent reminders and understanding to fully embrace the walk of the religion. If you want to help yourself in this regard, while also finding some beautiful decorations for your home, you can purchase some religious goods and artwork that will adorn your walls. Consider the information below, so that you can understand some of the best ways to decorate your home with Christian based art and ornaments to do the job.
The Wall Crucifix: A Reminder Of Christ's Death And Resurrection
The wall crucifix is one of the most common religious monuments that Christians place in their home. It serves as a symbol that is foundational to the entire faith. It represents the crucifixion of Christ and his resurrection that people who observe the Christian faith adhere to. Because of this, it is an excellent monument to place in your home, a reminder of your faith and a conversation starter once you have guests throughout your home. There are a number of wall crucifixes that you can purchase, including standalone crosses and crucifixes with a Christ ornament attached.
The Fish: Symbolic Of Christ's Grace
The fish is also a very common symbol amongst the Christian faith. Its origin dates back to Clement of Alexandria and its use was once as popular as the cross is now. The symbol takes on a lot of meanings in the Christian faith, including the parable of Jesus feeding many with fish, the call for followers to become fishers of men and symbolism of water baptism. In purchasing religious symbols for your home, the fish is an ever popular decoration to keep in mind in terms of declaration and the expression of your faith.
The Alpha And Omega: Expressions of God's Eternity
To utilize a religious symbol that is a bit out of the box, you can look no further than the Greek alphabet. In the King James Bible, God is often referred to as the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and end. For this reason, simply adding the Alpha and Omega Greek letters to your wall serves as a constant reminder of God's power and place in your life. These letters, when combined, can be stylized in a way to match any room in your home, while also symbolizing the eternal power of Christ.
Consider these three symbols as you shop for religious goods to decorate your home.

Not only does the PayProp Rental Index give you all the statistics and trends to base better business decisions on, it also boasts an entirely new section this year, covering tenant risk.
This quarter, we again broadened our tenancy data set to better understand some of the underlying rental trends that we are seeing.
Some of the burning questions we address are: what influences rental increases; how are deposits priced; and what does an average tenant's risk profile look like? It's another great read. Enjoy the new insights!


text: Matabele's effort for Queensland in the F7s State of Origin competition: No doubt this will be bagged to the heavens by the roaches that infest AE, but they were never going to understand anyway. Mzilikazi hears the "cattledog" call from the opposition and swats away a harmless punch from his opposite. Plays the whistle and steams upfield for the mighty Maroons. Postcards from Queensland: They say a picture tells a thousand words. Why then am I so mad as to try and describe the passion held for State of Origin by the Queenslander in 750 words or less? I'm sure the love of team is the same for the Blues supporter, but I can't relate to it. So here are some snapshots from my memory bank as my attempt to explain the mystique of the "Queenslander�. First impressions: Approaching Goondiwindi from the south it's a long dusty drive on the Newell Highway. Flat, barren, ochre stained plains stretch far in every direction and balls of cotton line the road like snow. The border is crossed and the motorist gets that first opportunity of discount Queensland fuel. Two things strike you as you make your way to the cashier. The warmth of the welcome and the plethora of Queensland paraphernalia stacked on the shelves. Balloons, key rings, shirts and banners form a sea of maroon, interrupted by a tiny speck of sky blue stashed in the corner. Welcome to the state of fanaticism. A tale of two pubs: Babinda. The warm sea breeze wafts over the freshly ploughed chocolate fields that will soon be planted to cane. XXXX signs flicker and glare onto the highway. Cane toads feast on the insects attracted to the light. Inside the locals stand as one and barrack for the boys in maroon, a raucous cheer reserved for the 'locals' � Slater and Williams. Wallerawang. The ice is already forming on the eaves. The smoke from power stations erupts nearby, sending a steady film of grit and charcoal into the air. Inside the fire roars in the hearth as the coal miners discuss the coming game. Half pledge their support for the maroon underdogs because they've used the TAB facility to back them You don't support the opposition in Queensland, regardless of the circumstances. An Empty Road: Wednesday night, 8:30pm. Molar throbs as I drive down Townsville's Ross River Road, a dreaded appointment with the dentist pending. Nothings moves. No cars on the road. Windows flicker in strange unison to the light of the television. The Origin game is on. What else would one be doing? Armageddon could happen here and no-one would know it. They'll deal with it in the morning, providing their head isn't too sore. The Rapture: It's 1989 and a large group of university students congregate in the lounge room in Thuringowa. They huddle in their blankets as the night is 'cold'. It will be getting below 15 degrees! The battle on the screen is fierce. Vautin succumbs and then the crack in Langer's leg is heard around the State. Two more heroes vanish as the punishment takes its toll. Bob Lindner's leg also breaks but he hobbles on. The trench must be manned; the blue tide must be turned. And then it happens � the definitive Origin moment for the Queenslander. NSW are working the ball out from their half when it is spilled. It's shovelled to THAT man - Wally Lewis. He is forty metres from the Blues' line, left side of the field. The next play is etched in every Queenslanders' memory. The King crabs slowly (it seems) right. He pushes through tackles, he fends and he shimmies. It takes only seconds yet it's a transcendent moment, one that will forever stand isolated from time. Wally Lewis crashes over in the clutches of Jack to put the game beyond doubt. The room erupts in orgiastic excitement. Tears well in the eyes and throats roar at the spectacle. This is the thing of the boyhood dream. It is why men fight wars and hunt other creatures. Just thirteen men with their backs to the wall. Hanging in there for each other and doing it for their State. Unlikely victory snatched by a moment of sheer genius, anticipation and brutal effort. Delivered by that hero of all heroes. Is it any wonder that we're so addicted? As one we link arms. Facing the TV, excited commentators blathering, we sink to our knees and prostrate ourselves. Like a Muslim horde facing Mecca and praying, we face the grinning visage on the screen and chant as one "Wally, Wally, Wally�. "Queenslander� Billy Moore stalks down the tunnel. Eyes blazing he roars "Queenslander�. Flecks of spittle hit the camera. Ten years later it still creates goose bumps. Who am I to follow such a wonderful tradition, no matter how small the part to play? QUEENSLANDER!!! 748 words
