Pearce Family, July 2019
This is a great place for young kids. They can roam like wild hens and are perfectly safe. Plenty to keep them occupied and other guests to make friends with. The pool and play barn are great spaces and the toys provided will keep little ones well entertained. Fantastic butcher in Camors and Creperie in Baud. Lovely area for walks and runs. Carnac beach was beautiful and Quiberon is well worth the drive. There is a good outdoor play park on the road to Carnac with water play and other good outdoor stuff. Overall there is a lovely relaxed feel about the place.
Fenlon Family, July 2019
We had an amazing time at Berry Farm. Both our 3 year old and 1 year old had so much fun with all the toys and areas to play in. We loved exploring the woods behind the farm and even though we didn't have amazing weather we had fun every day. Would highly recommend this venue for families with small children. The house itself was lovely and really suitable for our family.
Morrow-Barnes Family, July 2019
Wow, what an amazing holiday! We stayed here for 1 week and it was great. The atmosphere was amazing, the children could play out the front in the gated yard and there was so much to do on the farm that you could spend the whole day entertained. Highly recommended.
Hardaker Family, September 2018
We had a fantastic week staying in Coach in sunny Brittany. Our 3 year old was in his element! He loved the playbarn, sandpit, treehouse and mud kitchens. The property was well equipped and in a great location. Not too far from the port and within easy access to some lovely beaches. We loved the fact that the properties were centred around a communal garden which meant parents could catch up whilst the little ones explored. We are thinking of booking up again for next year!
Trueman Family, August 2018
We had an absolutely fabulous holiday at the Coach! It had everything we needed and there was so much for the kids to do. Sandra and Tony were excellent hosts.
Jones Family, May 2018
Mum, Dad and two kids - four and a half and eighteen months...it could not have been more perfect for us. The property itself allowed both children so much freedom in a very safe environment. It gave us all a real chance to relax.
The Mainwaring Family, August 2017
Sandra and Tony have created a really special place, the perfect holiday destination when travelling with little ones. The facilities were incredible, and even though the weather wasn't great we were never short of things to do. I'm not sure who enjoyed the barn more, my son or my husband. With great beaches, amusement parks, walks and restaurants all within a short drive we were never without inspiration. Thanks again for a great holiday and we hope to return sometime again.
The Nelson Family, August 2017
We had a fantastic two weeks staying in Coach. We have a 5,3 year old and 7 month twins so were keen to go somewhere as child friendly as possible and this ticked every box and more! Sandra and Tony were extremely helpful and made us feel very welcome throughout. The set up was ideal, the children particularly loved the monkey bars, the play barn and the swimming pool. They loved feeding the horses with Sandra in the evenings. The location worked really well for the ages of our children, we did a mixture of day trips and staying on site. Highlights were the beach, the adventure ropes place down the road, horse riding, the dinosaur park and visiting Josselin castle. There is so much to do here that we will definitely be returning, the kids are already asking to go back!
The Hancock Family, May 2015
This was our second visit to Coach at The Berry Farm. As last time, we were made to feel very welcome. It is a peaceful and beautiful spot with a particularly lovely host family :). I've already given far too many friends details of the properties and so fear it may never be vacant again!
The Hancock Family, August 2014
We had a fantastic week. Sandra is a great host. She organised for us to go riding in the forest, and enabled the girls to indulge their love of all things horse related. From the moment we arrived our three girls felt truly at home. They loved the pool, trampoline and swings which enabled the week to be a real blessing to us all. The property provided everything we wanted and is in a beautiful position.
The Hunt Family, July 2014
Fantastic holiday. The children loved the swings, climbing frame and pool. It has been great to let them play safely while we relax too.
The Rogers Family, June 2014
What a wonderful find this charming collection of gites. We couldn't have asked for a better or safer environment for our children. Already looking forward to coming back.

This charming coach house has been lovingly restored to create a fabulous holiday home with everything you need for a hassle free family holiday.
Inside, you'll find:
Parent points:
Coach faces onto the Village Green which is shared by all six gites. You'll find an outdoor dining and barbeque area at the front of the gite; while away the time here with a chilled glass of something whilst the children play just yards away.
The Village Green is completely enclosed as well as being car free during the week, making it a safe play spot for little ones and giving peace of mind to mums and dads. Tots will love the play frame and outdoor toys here or venturing to one of the other play zones to get stuck in to the mud kitchens, sandpit or waterwall.
The fenced and gated pool area provides hours of splashing fun, its heated pool with large walk-in steps and a separate toddler pool will keep your water-babies smiling (the pool is open from May to September, weather permitting).
And there's more fun to be had in the huge play barn with trampoline, ride-on toys, table tennis and much more. Or visit the owner's paddocks and horses, where little ones can help out with feeding.
View Berry Farm
There is so much to see and do within easy reach that you'll never be bored.
Immediately behind the property is the Camors forest, part of the national forest network. A gated path gives access straight into the forest and to the numerous walks - many suitable for bikes or buggies and all of varying length.
Also within walking distance is the Camors Adventure Forest park with zip wires and rope bridges for older children, as well as separate play area for 2-6 year olds.
The closest village, Lambel, isn't far and the busy market towns of Baud (3km) and Pluvigner (7km) are within a short drive. A good selection of restaurants, shops and supermarkets can be found in both. There are pony rides nearby and the lovely zoological park of Branféré is just over an hour's drive. The lovely medieval towns of Vannes and Auray are within 20 minutes drive.
The stunning beaches of Southern Brittany - from the chic Carnac to the surfer's paradise of Quiberon - are only 35km away.

Cassidy Janson on Beautiful, Big Breaks and Bezzas
Cassidy Janson is currently blowing audiences away as Carole King in hit West End musical Beautiful. Appropriately, we met Cassidy on one of the windiest days of the year!
Cassidy, thanks for making it through a tornado to talk to us. You must be up to your eyes in Beautiful's first birthday celebrations?
Yes, everything happens at once. It's blowing a gale outside…and of course it's today that both the washing machine and the TV decide to break down! Read more
The West End's Scariest Leading Ladies
From Females to She-males and from Queens of Carthage to Queens of the Desert, The West-End and Broadway both have long lived love affairs with not-to-be-messed-with women who've been pushed just that bit too far. Let's face it, if you'd been left to raise a child in a warzone by a bloke who married you in a fake wedding and then dumped you for a helicopter before the interval, or had to sell your hair to pay for medicine for your French daughter and then had to spend the whole of Act Two making ghost noises behind a curtain, you'd be pretty hacked off too.
From the big and ballsy (think Hairspray's Edna Turnblad or Chicago's murderous Roxie & Velma) to the emotionally over-wrought (Sunset Boulevard's Norma Desmond or Miss Saigon's Kim), it's tough to pick our favourite Woman on the Verge – the type of terrifying leading lady you might love to watch from the safety of the Dress Circle, but definitely wouldn't want to leave alone with your kids.

Rice is an important staple throughout Asia, and this comes through in a strong way at our Japanese restaurant in Bothell. It's a key part of our sushi, our rice bowls, and most other distinctly Japanese dishes. Japan's affinity for the grain is no mystery, but were you aware of just how important it is to Japanese culture?
One of the biggest differences between Asian culinary tradition and Western dining sensibilities is how the courses of a meal are viewed. In the West, we view the main course, which is usually a meat dish, as being surrounded by supplemental side dishes of grains or vegetables. In Asia, it's the rice that usually takes center stage. The central part of the meal is always a grain or a starch, while the meat serves as a supplemental side dish. This may account for some part of the health benefits of Asian dining. Try out this philosophy yourself at Sushi Hana!

Featured Guest: David Garvin, Harvard Business School professor. Also: Judith Ross on retaining your top performers during times of change.
PAUL MICHELMAN: Hello and welcome to the sixth edition of the HBR IdeaCast, a biweekly audio show from Harvard Business School Publishing. My name is Paul Michelman, I'm an executive editor here, and I'll be your host.
Our IdeaCast today contains two segments. Our first segment is a ripped-from-the-headlines look at the decision-making mistakes that contributed to Merck and Company's disastrous experience with Vioxx. OK, well maybe it's more of a torn-gently-from-the-headlines-and-intelligently-considered look at decision-making in light of Merck's Vioxx experience, but the net result for you, our listeners, is the same– a better approach to making decisions, courtesy of Harvard Business School professor David Garvin and IdeaCast correspondent Angela Herrin.
In our second segment, we're joined by business writer Judith Ross, a regular contributor to Harvard Management Update, for a look at how to retain your top performers during times of change. Whether you're aware of it or not, Ross says, your best people are more likely, not to mention more able, to leave for seemingly greener pastures during major company change initiatives. We'll discuss Ross's research into the subject, which reveals a framework for how to increase the odds of keeping your best people just where they are.
Now, grab a cool drink, kick off your shoes, and open yourself up to some new ideas.
First up, Angela Herrin interviews Harvard Business School's David Garvin on Merck's Vioxx calamity, and how you can help avoid such a fate in your own organization.
ANGELA HERRIN: Professor Garvin, the headlines have been full of stories lately about the predicament that Merck finds itself in, with the withdrawal of their drug Vioxx. A lot of people wonder, how could a company filled with smart people, filled with great scientists, filled with people whose responsibility is to make great decisions– how could they have found themselves in this predicament, having made such a bad decision about this product and keeping it on the market?
DAVID GARVIN: Probably the best way to understand Merck and Vioxx is to think a little bit about decision-making not as an event, not as something that takes place at a single point in time, but as a process, an extended social process that accumulates over days, weeks, often months, and involves people at multiple levels of the organization. Once you take that view, you recognize that sometimes decision-making processes built in momentum of their own. They begin to develop a head of steam. The result is you can't always tell at what point in time the decision was actually made.
ANGELA HERRIN: What do you mean?
DAVID GARVIN: Well, you can't pinpoint individuals at any given time, saying yes or no, go or no-go. The weight of the evidence accumulates. People start to begin little by little to snuff out their doubts. And you find that the process almost has a preordained conclusion.
ANGELA HERRIN: Now, is this because people are afraid to challenge authority? Are they afraid to say they have suspicions?
DAVID GARVIN: It often has a great deal to do with fear. One of my colleagues has developed the concept of psychological safety, the sense that certain environments are safe to speak up, that you won't feel as if you're going to be treated badly or marginalized by other members of the group. When you have psychological safety, you have people who are willing to stop decision-making processes before they unravel, to raise the hard questions because they know they'll be listened to.
ANGELA HERRIN: But what you're describing still sounds frightening, especially if you're in the minority. With if you're– or if you don't know if you're in the minority?
DAVID GARVIN: Well, it is a good point. Minority views need to be actively supported by leaders. Now, there are a number of different approaches. One is simply to make sure the minority person doesn't stand alone, that he or she has two or three supporters. There's very good research that says when minorities number two, three, or four, they're much more likely to be listened to.
Second, you can actually design the decision-making process to actively stimulate dissent. You can appoint devil's advocates, people whose role is to raise questions, to criticize, to take the obstructionist or difficult point of view by design. You can also insist that people look at multiple alternatives. Not go, no-go, but real options. Those options tend to spread the discussion and inform people far better.
ANGELA HERRIN: So you're almost suggesting that people learn to challenge and learn to say that no one decision is right from the get-go.
DAVID GARVIN: Absolutely. We actually have a term for it. it's a big jargony, but it's worth understanding. It's called pluralistic ignorance. So think for a moment of a meeting. You went to the meeting. Somebody made an abstruse technical presentation. You looked around the table and everybody was sagely shaking their heads in agreement. You shook your head too. Then you walked out, and the hallway conversation was all about, did you understand that? Didn't make any sense to me. How about you?
What's going on in those settings? It turns out that people believe they are the only ones who have doubts. They are the only ones who have concerns with what they're hearing. Everybody else is presenting a good face, so they present it as well. If you train people to recognize this phenomenon, they're much more likely to speak up.
ANGELA HERRIN: As I listen to you talk, Professor Garvin, it strikes me that, basically, Merck's problem wasn't just one decision involving one drug, it really was a greater problem in their culture and the way they approach decision-making overall. So what advice would you give for managers who want to create a better process of decision-making in their own companies?
DAVID GARVIN: Well, first, let me reinforce your observation, because it's absolutely right. Companies have decision-making cultures. They have unstated rules of the game, about the way they operate. And all too often, those rules of the game involve problems or pathologies. Unwillingness to speak up, squelching of dissent, delegating upward any difficult call. Perfectionism, so you spend all your time gathering data, until by the time you have complete information, the time for effective decision-making has passed.
What can you do around that? First, encourage constructive conflict. The key word there is constructive. You don't want dissent just for dissent's sake. You want dissent in order to get multiple alternatives presented, minority views aired. A very practical suggestion– as a leader, don't open the meeting with your point of view or your opinion. It almost always squelches disagreement.
Second practical suggestion– design the decision-making process so it periodically surfaces differing points of view. Here's an option. Take your team– six, eight, ten people– and divide it in half. Ask one group to come up with one option. Once they've presented their case, ask the other sub-group to come up with an opposing or different option. Then have the two groups come together, share alternatives, see if they can integrate and synthesize.
And third, strive for transparency. The best decision-making processes are those where people understand the rules of the game, and all information is up front, shared with [INAUDIBLE].
ANGELA HERRIN: My only question for you would be, it sounds like you're encouraging people to encourage troublemakers in their companies?
DAVID GARVIN: Absolutely. Andy Grove at Intel, for many years the CEO, used to call those folks "helpful Cassandras."
ANGELA HERRIN: What does that mean?
DAVID GARVIN: Those were folks who would constantly find trouble spots, constantly be crying wolf, constantly saying, this might work but I see problems. He actively sought them out and put them on his decision-making teams. He said they always, always led to better results.
ANGELA HERRIN: That's great advice. Thank you, David Garvin.
DAVID GARVIN: My pleasure.

Next up, retaining your top performers during times of change. Judith Ross, thanks for joining us tonight today.
JUDITH ROSS: My pleasure, Paul.
PAUL MICHELMAN: Judith, your recent Harvard Management Update article, "Retaining Top Performers During Change," might have scared a few of our readers. After all, what you're telling us is that during a major change initiative, in addition to all the other things you have to worry about, all the moving pieces, all the variables, managers also had better be concerned that their very top performers are going to be walking out the door. Why is that?
JUDITH ROSS: Well, it's the uncertainty. These people have certain reasons that they're working for you. There's a niche they've carved out for themselves. There's a lot of benefits that they've been counting on and working towards getting by working for you, and when there's a change in the air, all that is suddenly at risk. So because they've invested so much of their time, energy, and enthusiasm into the old way of doing things, they may feel they have more to lose after a change.
PAUL MICHELMAN: Why are top performers more susceptible to these feelings? Or– scratch that– why are top performers more susceptible to leaving the organization because of these things than a typical employee?
JUDITH ROSS: Well, they have a lot more options than a typical employee. And in fact, if the change is one that's a well-publicized one, if it's a big merger and everyone knows about it, people may actually be coming to them to recruit them. The competition, for example.
PAUL MICHELMAN: Gotcha. So what, as managers, can we do to head off this problem at the pass?
JUDITH ROSS: Well, quite simply, you really have to give them a reason to stay, and you have to let them know what's in it for them to stay, and that you're going to continue to help them be successful no matter what the change. And after talking to a bunch of academics and consultants and some managers, I was able to come up with a few steps that you can take to help ease the transition for your top performers.
PAUL MICHELMAN: Great. I think what we'd like to do now is walk through those steps. Before we get into the details, can you rattle off– I believe you came up with six steps. Is there a six-step framework? Can you rattle off those six steps for us?
JUDITH ROSS: First of all, you want to give them clear information. You want to, if you can, make them part of the planning for the change. You want to make sure your leadership is presenting a united front, or at least appears to be aligned around the change. And you want to approach those who seem to really be resisting the change. Instead of trying to stifle them, you want to approach them. And you want to look at what people's personal concerns are. And then the final one is, you want to test out some of the details of the change. If you're trying a new software process, for example, you might pre-test that, make sure it's really going to work for your top performers.
PAUL MICHELMAN: Great. So let's walk through each of them in a bit more detail. I believe you said number one was to provide clear information.
JUDITH ROSS: Yes. As much you can. One thing you don't want to happen is the rumor mill to start. And they're going to know something is going on pretty soon, no matter how quiet you think you've been about it, no matter how careful. They will get wind of it somehow. And the last thing you want is wrong information getting out there. So you want to talk to them as soon as you can, and give them as many facts as you can. And the most important thing is to give them the business case for the change, so they can really make up their own mind that it's a good thing for the organization. Don't try to sell it. Give them the facts.
And then another benefit of telling your star players up front what's going on is that, because they're star players, other people are going to go to them for information too. It's a side benefit. But that way you can ensure, throughout your whole change effort, that everybody's getting factual information instead of rumors.
PAUL MICHELMAN: So in essence, you can recruit your stars to validate the change, validate the value of the change.
JUDITH ROSS: Yes, absolutely. You can get them on your side.
PAUL MICHELMAN: Great. Number two. Make your stars a part of the planning.
JUDITH ROSS: If you can involve them in planning the change, it's going to make them feel recognized. It's going to make them feel valued. You're asking for their input, and that's going to give them some skin in the game, so to speak.
PAUL MICHELMAN: Are there any risks?
JUDITH ROSS: To involving them in the change? Well, you have to manage their expectations. You wouldn't want to over-promise that you're going to do something, and then you can't do it. So you do have to weigh that carefully.
PAUL MICHELMAN: Right. Number three, I believe you said, was present a united front.
JUDITH ROSS: Yes. It's really, really important that all of the top leadership of the company appear unified around the change. Because if there's dissension among the ranks, your top performers are really tuned in to those silent messages. And if they feel that there's disunity, that's a red flag for them. They're going to start looking elsewhere. Because they may think, well, if they don't all agree, this change isn't going to work.
PAUL MICHELMAN: That makes sense. Number four, approach resistors.
JUDITH ROSS: Yes. You don't want to stifle the people that are resisting. You actually want to listen to them. They may have a good idea. They may point something out you hadn't thought of. And they may have an issue that's political, or something that you can even easily solve with the change. So even if you don't make them advocates for the change, you can at least make them neutral enough that they'd want to stay. They don't see it's going to harm them.
PAUL MICHELMAN: Right. Number five, in some ways, sounds related to number four, and that's pay attention to personal concerns.
JUDITH ROSS: Well, that's really about being a good manager, in that you have to know what makes your top performers tick. If you've got someone whose research is really important to them, they're going to be worried that the change is going to mean that suddenly they're going to have to be doing something other than sitting in their office focusing quietly on what they're interested in. If you've got someone who's really competitive, maybe the thing to do with them is make sure they know that they're going to continue to be challenged, and even maybe discuss what the next big challenge for them is going to be under the new arrangement.
PAUL MICHELMAN: And to me, frankly, I think the last point you made, the last piece of advice that your research uncovered is the most interesting. And that is pre-testing the details of the change.
JUDITH ROSS: Yeah, I think the examples I found when I was talking to people was a lot about changing processes or using different tools to do the work. But you want to make sure, when you're making that kind of change, that it's going to be beneficial to your top performers. You don't want to make their everyday work turn into a real grind because they can't get what they need to get done. One example I had of that was a sales organization that implemented a new software that they didn't pre-test, and it was unable to track complex sales, which for the really top performers– the people who were bringing in the biggest accounts– that was a huge problem. So you do want to– if you can actually roll out a prototype, even better. If you can give your top performers some input into that prototype, that will not only get them on board, but it will make sure that they can continue to be effective.
PAUL MICHELMAN: Thanks, Judith. Now, what happens when managers failed to keep their key people in the loop during a change initiative?
JUDITH ROSS: Well, they're going to imagine that the worst is happening. As one person I interviewed told me, they're not going to be looking for what's good about the change. They're going to be looking for what's bad. And all kinds of small things are going to take on huge importance that they wouldn't have noticed before. If suddenly their boss isn't answering their calls right away, where before they would have assumed he was busy or he was out of town or something else was going on– if there's a change and they're worried about it, they're going to think, oh, he's not calling me back because he's avoiding me. He doesn't want to talk to me because he's got really bad news for me.
Another organization was going through a change and they were as a small, homey company that was being taken over by a reputedly more aggressive organization. And they came in one day and all the coffee pots were gone. The next day they came and half the lights were out. And they thought they were getting some kind of hidden message from the new big cheese, when it really turned out it was the building manager trying to save money. But people were getting very angry and starting to think about resigning.
PAUL MICHELMAN: Thanks, Judith. So are there any lessons in all of this that we can apply outside of a time of change?
JUDITH ROSS: Definitely. I think you want to stay in touch with your top performers at all times, keep talking to them. I think you should always be questioning, are they still engaged? Are they getting what they need from the organization? In fact, human resource guru Dave Ulrich, who I recently heard interviewed, mentioned that he recommends having what he calls "stay interviews" with your top talent, where you ask them, what do you need to remain fully engaged here? It may be that they need more space, or they might want to be on a different work project, or something like a voice in the executive meeting. But it's one way to keep them happy and keep them working for you.
PAUL MICHELMAN: Right. You don't know if you don't ask, right?
JUDITH ROSS: Right.
PAUL MICHELMAN: OK. Thanks, Judith, good advice.
JUDITH ROSS: You're welcome.

The student is familiar with various approaches to human mobility with a focus on forced displacement. In addition to actively participating in lectures, the student is capable to practice analytical skills in an individual project that is presented and discussed in the class.
This module examines intersectional approaches to human mobility in peace and conflict research. Violent conflicts, ethnic, religious and gender-based discrimination and human rights abuses produce forced displacement. In this course, we will explore the global phenomenon of human mobility in a two-fold manner. We will start by introducing multiple perspectives and actors together with key theoretical and methodological debates. The course then proceeds by situating these debates in a local context. This will be done by engaging the students with migrants and refugees living in the Tampere region.
The course structure will give the students a possibility to connect large-scale phenomena to their local manifestations and implications. The course seeks to facilitate understanding on how theories and abstract concepts shape, direct and resonate with people's self-conceptions, how conflicts gain transnational dimensions and how forced migration enters into different people's lives in multiple ways. What kind of connections are formed between peaceful societies and conflict zones through human mobility?
The course work will be preceded by a preliminary task in which students will reflect on their personal connection on the phenomenon of human mobility. Students have to return the assignment before the first lecture. The course consists of a limited number of lectures, a debriefing seminar and a practical project conducted outside the classroom. The students will carry out these practical projects in groups with civil society organizations in the supervision of the teachers. The practical partners and possible working methods have been agreed by the teachers before the course. The results of the student projects will be presented in the final seminar (23rd February 2015). The course will be concluded by writing an individual essay (3-5 pages) that provides a reflection on the working methods and the relation of the practical project to the course topic more generally.
Max. 25 students. Students will be accepted to the course in the following order:
1. degree students of the MDP in Peace, Mediation and Conflict Research
2. degree students of the other Global Society programmes (MDP in Global and Transnational Studies, MDP in Quantitative Social Research, MDP in Comparative Social Policy and Welfare)
3. other degree students of UTA
4. exchange students (Master's level exchange students will be given priority)

In the context of the business continuity of the Global Finance investment group, secure storage of its data, as well as easily access to them, under all circumstances, was considered necessary.
Based on the above, Algosystems proposed and implemented an important backup & archiving project, both locally and in the cloud, intelligently safeguarding both the organization's data and email.
Easy access to users' mail and MS Office from everywhere, secure connections, and the minimization of equipment used in its computer room were the reasons that led Global Finance to its cloud based transformation.
The company, which has been operating on the cloud with subscription for Office 365 and Microsoft Azure for years, selected Algosystems thanks to its experience, but mainly due to the continuing training of its engineers in new ICT technologies, to realize its transformation.

It is not necessary for two people in love to be physically together all the time. And, that is why; long-distance relationships exist in this world. While there are a lot of examples of successful long-distance relationships, we all know that it is not really easy to be in one. In fact, problems that arise due to two people being physically apart might make a lot of you think twice before getting into a long-distance relationship. But, here is another way to look at it- absence makes the heart grow fonder, and makes the relationship truly amazing!
So, let us a take a look at some of the awesome benefits of being in a long-distance relationship.
#1. You get more space as not all of your time is to be spent with your partner.
So, you always have a lot of guilt-free 'me' time.
#2. Distance helps you to develop a deep and everlasting trust in the relationship
#3. If your love can stand the test of distance, then it can stand almost anything
After all, being apart from each other is one of the toughest things that a couple can go through!
#4. You get to travel more
And, your favourite destination in the world is the city where your partner lives!
#5. You never run out of conversations
So, there is no scope of you two getting bored in each other's company.
#6. And, your communication skills get better
Long-distance relationships teach you the skill of effective communication. As you stay apart, you tend to talk more and that is when you realise the importance as well as the correct way of communicating with your partner.
#7. Even a small thing like simply hearing your partner's voice or seeing a message from them makes your day wonderful
#8. Your relationship is based on something more meaningful than just the physical connection
And that is, the emotional connection, which helps you to develop a great understanding in the relationship and takes it to a different level altogether.
#9. You do not become totally dependent on your partner
And, it certainly is very important for the well-being of a relationship. Don't you agree?
#10. You develop great time management skills
As you mostly have to fix a time to talk to each other through video chat, you plan rest of your time well to be available for your partner.
#11. You become a lot more creative than you were ever before
You have some absoultely amazing ideas of having a romantic date despite being away from each other.
#12. You always have something exciting in life to look forward to
Planning for those trips to meet each other and making a to-do list when you meet is quite too exciting, isn't it?
#13. Not to miss, the fun of looking for some truly romantic gifts to make your next meeting even more memorable
#14. And, meeting each other every time is an absolutely amazing experience for you
And, you make every effort to make that time spent together more memorable and meaningful.
So, don't you think it is amazing to be in a long-distance relationship? And, for all those who are already enjoying such a beautiful relationship, do not forget to share with us some more amazing benefits that you experience, in the comments section below!

"Starship" also known as "Spaceship" is an archetype of Machine-Type Monsters Cards used by Eviluder in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL manga and by Shiyuki Tahita.
The archetype uses swarming tatics and changing Levels in order to Xyz Summon monsters like Starship Blade Wing and Number 42: Starship Galaxy Tomahawk.
"Starship" monsters used by Shiyuki also belong to the Space archetype, and are based upon ships from the videogame X3: Terran Conflict. They include the Fusion Monster "Space Starship X - Cluster", which is Fusion Summoned using the "Space Starship M3 - Kha'ak Fighter" plus any number of other Level 4 or lower "Starships" (which combined to "Space Fusion" allows to fetch 2 monsters directly from the Deck), and upon entering battle it 'splits' back into the used Fusion Materials, further supporting the Swarm strategy needed to access the Xyz Monsters.

Both political friends and foes have paid tribute to Charles Kennedy, the former Liberal Democrat leader who died yesterday. He was a larger than life figure in Westminster known for his flair for witty, intelligent and incisive public speaking.
Douglas Alexander, who also lost his seat to the SNP last month, led tributes from Labour:
Bereft at news of Charles Kennedy. He was a warm, decent & generous Scot. Our politics and our national life is a lot poorer this morning.
— Douglas Alexander (@Douglas4Paisley) June 2, 2015
Scottish First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, described herself as "sad beyond words" about his death at just 55-years-old:
Sad beyond words to hear the news about Charlie Kennedy. A lovely man and one of the most talented politicians of his time. Gone too soon. — Nicola Sturgeon (@NicolaSturgeon) June 2, 2015
Some remembered his superb political one-liners:
Best Charlie Kennedy quote: "Paddy Ashdown is the only party leader who's a trained killer.Though, to be fair, Mrs Thatcher was self taught"
— Red Labour (@red_labour) June 2, 2015
The Green Party leader, Natalie Bennett, marked the occasion by making an unusally sensible comment:
Very sad to hear about death of Charles Kennedy – he deserves to be remembered foremost for his judgement & principles opposing the Iraq War — Natalie Bennett (@natalieben) June 2, 2015
The Liberal Democrats opened a book of condolence to the man who was once Britain's youngest MP:
We will be sending all entries from Charles Kennedy's book of condolence to his family. Please do write in it. http://t.co/r3eRRycMjv
— Liberal Democrats (@LibDems) June 2, 2015
Ian Blackford, who beat him in Ross, Skye & Lochaber, said:
"He was a bright, articulate and gregarious man and it is so sad that he has been taken at such a young age.
"Charles was a very kind, decent and honest man. I have known him for a long time, and I will remember him as someone that could rise above party politics.
"I recall election night in 1999 – not a good night for the SNP, but Charles showed tremendous kindness and support that evening. I will never forget that."
Less notable were the words of Alex Salmond who was widely attacked for claiming Kennedy's heart was not really in the Better Together campaign. It was widely seen as an attempt to make it appear Kennedy had secret sympathies for Scottish Independence.
The Daily Telegraph report him as saying: "Yes, he was an extremely generous human being. I have had one or two, but not many, people who had a bad word to say about Charles, and that's very rare in politics. In terms of the independence referendum, I don't think his heart was in the 'Better Together' campaign.
"His heart would have been in a pro-European campaign, that's a campaign that Charles would have engaged in heart and soul. That is something he absolutely believed in."
The Prime Minister, David Cameron, was much more formal:
I'm deeply saddened by the death of Charles Kennedy. He was a talented politician who has died too young. My thoughts are with his family. — David Cameron (@David_Cameron) June 2, 2015
As was the former Labour Leader, Ed Miliband:
Charles Kennedy was a principled, decent man who stood up for what he believed.His death is a tragic loss.My heart goes out to his family.
— Ed Miliband (@Ed_Miliband) June 2, 2015
His Alma Mater, Glasgow University, posted some photos from his remarkable life:

This week I wanted to look at how our perspective in approaching a project or task can dramatically affect our ability to complete the work. In my previous post "Why Be Perfect When You Can Be Better?", I demonstrated how striving for perfection, as opposed to aiming to make things better, is actually counter-productive as it limits the perspective to our own experiences.
Of course, there's another factor that can impact our motivation and subsequent productivity in taking on an idea or fostering some form of change. In this case, I'm referring to those instances when we view these opportunities as something that's "too difficult to implement" or which "we lack the resources to pursue" and subsequently, we end up doing nothing about it. As I'll show in this piece, what we need in these cases is to re-adjust our perspective from one where we're facing a single issue or challenge, into one where we tackle the individual parts of the problem. This will create an environment where we gain concrete, visible results that will help us push forward with the process.
In order to better illustrate this idea, let's refer back to the example of developing a new product, as used in my previous piece on perfection. When we consider that the creation of a product involves initial design, testing, making adjustments, implementation, marketing, distribution and future refinements/improvements, the idea of starting this process becomes more daunting, if not overwhelming. Invariably, this is the moment when most ideas or solutions get benched because we perceive the path we'd have to undertake as being too hard or time/resource-consuming.
In order to overcome this perception barrier, what we first need to do is to divide this one problem or issue into a series of smaller parts where the final outcome for each would be concrete, easily seen, and which would serve as a stepping stone for the next part of the process. These smaller parts would also need to be categorized in terms of ease of execution; from tasks that could be easily completed to those that offer a greater challenge or risk. By taking on this approach, we gain the following advantages:
1.Fuel the motivation of your project team
By dividing up the process into smaller, more manageable parts, you don't have to wait until the end of the project to feel some sense of accomplishment or success. Instead, the completion of each part will provide the team with a sense of motivation that they're capable of tackling what seemed to be a challenging goal.
2. Start with easy tasks and work your way up to more difficult ones
Categorizing the different parts in terms of difficulty will allow your team to start work on the easy aspects of the project, on those that require minimal time and resources. This way you can get that first set of wins fast in order to gain the drive you need to tackle those problems that offer greater challenges or risks. Also, by breaking down the process into what will essentially be building blocks for moving forward, those tasks that at first glance appeared to be a challenge will now seem to be more manageable.
3. Create a sense of investment and drive to push on
Once you have your team working on those easy parts that offer those quick wins, there will now be a greater sense of investment in the process, if not a greater desire to see the whole process through to the end. Having those wins under their belt – along with the fact that they've already invested their time, resources, and talents into the project – will foster this inner drive to push on, despite the remaining challenges left before completion.
By changing how we visualize a process or project, we can easily move past those initial hurdles that can hold us back from taking on a new approach, or developing a new product or service. Giving ourselves the opportunity to feel a sense of accomplishment early on – and often – can go a long way in helping us face those challenges we see ahead of us, turning them from a path filled with obstacles into a journey filled with wins.
So what about you – what ideas or approaches did you find worked in overcoming those initial feelings of trepidation in pursuing a new project/idea? I look forward to hearing your comments and insights.

Apparently, we are not a cent better off compared to the 70s because all the income gains, every single cent, went into the pockets of the top 10%, if Senator Warren is to be believed in her recent Washington post op-ed.
If you're willing to put your money where your grumpy socialist mouth is, you would step into a time machine to go back to the 70s because that would make you wealthier.
A way to grasp the conceptual difficulties of measuring changes in living standards and life expectancies across the decades is to step into Brad De Long's time machine.
In this thought experiment, De Long asks how much you would want in additional income to agree to go back in time to a specific year. De Long was an economic historian examining the differences in American living standards since 1900.
Of course, to work how much you would want be paid (or were willing to pay to go back to the Senator Warren's better times in the 1970), if you used a less biased estimate of price inflation, the answer is steady increases in incomes for the last 25 years so you would want to be paid.
Senator Warren's linked article actually confirms the same results. For after-tax incomes, everybody is noticeably richer than 30 years ago, especially if you're a woman.
Senior citizen socialists should take care and think deeply about entering that time machine. It might mean instant death for them because of higher life expectancy is now as compared to the 1970s.
When you do step into that time machine be very picky about what part of the USA you go to if you like air conditioning. There wasn't as much air conditioning in homes in the 1970s as compared to day, especially if you were poor.
Another thing is, don't expect to take that many trips. Air travel was not as common in the 70s. Airline deregulation was at the very end of the 1970s.
To add to your boredom in your spare time, your chances of owning a car was a lot less back then than now despite Senator Warren's assurance that there has been no income growth for the bottom 90% in the last 30 to 40 years. She said that, not me.
As for lifting yourself up in life, and living the American dream, which was the title of Senator Warren's op-ed? You were much more likely to not go to college back in the glory days of the 70s than now, especially if you were poor.
The most curious anomaly in Senator Warren's arguments is that many consumer goods are fallen rapidly in price over the last 40 years, but people are somehow unable to buy them from the same fixed income.

A Covid-19 Update on LOGOS at St. Giles…
We at St. Giles make safety and health our number one priority during this time of Covid-19. Keeping in mind the recommendations of our Governor and Mayor we have suspended our Logos program until it is safe to resume meeting. We hope to bring LOGOS back to life sometime in the Fall of 2020 and we will update you when we know more. Until then enjoy reading, learning, and growing in your faith together at home using our Online Christian Education Resources!
What is LOGOS? LOGOS is a Greek Word, which, in Christianity, means "the word" – or the name or title of Jesus Christ, derived from the prologue to the Gospel of John: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
There are four parts to the LOGOS program, which will be held on Wednesday evenings from 5:30 – 7:30 beginning September 18, 2019. This is an established family program that was founded in Presbyterian churches in 1957.
THE 4 PARTS OF LOGOS are based in a primary belief that an abundant life-giving relationship with God through Jesus Christ is more important than anything else in life, and that nurturing people, especially youth and children, into this relationship of faith, is the most important thing the church ever does.
The four parts of LOGOS, each lasting 30 minutes, are:
- Dinner in the Fellowship Hall. A shared meal is a time to gather regular "table families" of various ages who eat together each week for the entire program year. Kitchen teams prepare dinners that are served family style – with table settings and serving dishes – practicing the art of serving one another.
- Bible Study. A time for each grade, or a combination of grades, (including adults) to study the Bible as the model for Christ-centered living.
- Worship Arts. Choir, drama, bells, or other arts are rehearsed at LOGOS and then presented during worship at Sunday's service.
- Recreation. Games, crafts, hobbies, and more, often drawing on the interests of adults in the congregation willing to share their passions.
The program kick-off date is Wednesday, September 18, 2019. To find out more about LOGOS, you may contact the church office at (904) 272-1244. In order to join us for this exciting program, you may register online here.
The LOGOS Program is held every Wednesday during the school year, with breaks during Thanksgiving and Christmas. You are welcome to bring your children and stay with them or drop them off. LOGOS is a family program. Adults without children are also welcome. Registration for the LOGOS Program is free!
Learn more about the adults' program here.

I love raw recipes as they are so easy, no cooking involved! This beats any wheat or processed pasta and is so much better for you! I've made it here with pesto but you can add any healthy raw dressing you like.
Pasta Ingredients:
- 2-3 Courgettes (1 per person)
Peel Courgettes in long strips leaving the core and set aside.
Pesto Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup fresh basil
- 1/4 cup raw cashews
- 1/4 pine nuts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 garlic clove
- dash of himalayan or sea salt
Place all pesto ingredients in a processor and whizz up. Mix with courgette.
Serve with:
- 1/2 avocado chopped
- handful walnuts
- sun dried tomatoes chopped (I use dehydrated ones from health food shop and hydrate myself with hot water then olive oil)
- olives (Soak first to remove salt)
- squeeze of lemon
Extremely simple and tasty and a great one to take to work… Enjoy!

Is the music market too saturated for startups?
When music is your passion, it can be your absolute dream to start your own business in the industry. But it can be intimidating. We all know that there are a handful of industries that are super competitive to get into. And music is one of them. So that can often make you fearful and stop you from entering yourself. Right now, with the digital advances that are taking place, and the amount of people that are entering into the industry on their own merit, it can feel as if the industry is too saturated for new talent and startups to enter. But is that really the case? Perhaps not. Because there's always room for talent. So if you do want to start a business in the music industry, maybe not is the perfect time? After all, if it's a dream that you have, you're better off trying, than dreaming about doing it forever.
However, for a lot of people, the question here will be about what kind of business they should start. Because not everybody wants to be a singer or a musician. And you can still love the music industry without having to perform yourself. So, if you want some ideas on what you could do, how you could enter into the industry and find success, or even about business in general, read on.
Thinking About The Future
Now, first of all, you're going to want to be thinking about the kind of business you can start. Here, you're not going to want to think too much about the past. Instead, you need to look forward. Do some research into emerging technologies, look at how consumers are behaving today, and what they could be doing in the future. Where can your business idea fit in? Do you want to produce music, put on shows, share music internationally, talk about music, work with artists? Think about where your passions lie, and how you could then tie them in with how the world is changing.
Getting Digital
One thing is for sure, the digital world is taking over. More and more of what we do is all about the internet, on social media, or using some kind of modern digital alternative to things that we did in the past. And that's very normal. But you have to embrace that. So along with looking into what consumers are doing, make sure that you're learning and using new technologies yourself. Think about how you can bring digital trends and your passion for music together to create a business that will survive in the future.
Because that's what this is all about. The market may seem saturated, and it will be for anybody that lets themselves stay on the shelf. To move forward and stay relevant, you need to be ahead of the times.
Getting started
When you've done your research, just start. Don't let fear stop you from getting stuck in. Instead, run with your business idea. Note everything down in a plan and start looking at resources to get set up. Save your money or search for investors. Get the equipment you need, find a cheap deal on the services you need, and create a website and social platforms. Start to create a conversation and to get in front of your ideal target market.
Most of the time, we let our minds hold us back from getting started until everything is perfect, or until you have the right budget. But this is never a good idea. Because you'll never start. So just dive in. Start talking, start pushing your ideas, and look to generate as much interest in your efforts as possible.
Believe In What You're Doing
But above all else, you have to believe in yourself. You have to know that you can make this work. It's not enough to just hope. Make sure that your passion for music is real. It's what will keep you going when times are tough. Know that there is a market for your business, and have confidence in your abilities to succeed.
Then, look to reinforce that with your actions. Read about business, network with other entrepreneurs – in the music business and outside of the industry. Make sure that you're always changeling yourself, that you're looking into what other industries are doing to grow, and that you're pushing your creativity to the next level. When you're in this position, the market will never be too saturated for a startup like yours.

Teddy Parent Tip of the Month
How to Promote Independence:
Assign Your Child a Chore(s)
Put your preschooler in charge of simple regular tasks that will help to build his/her confidence. A child who is entrusted with simple tasks such as emptying the clothes dryer will perhaps believe that he/she can also get dressed by himself/ herself or pour his/her own cereal. Be sure the chore(s) you assign is real and manageable and not just busywork, since even preschoolers know the difference. The goal is to make your child feel as though they made a contribution for the family (Buss, 2018).

There's Johnny (Hulu)
Premiered November 16
Following its major Emmy wins for "The Handmaid's Tale," Hulu is making a play to be a top-tier streaming service, up there with Netflix and Amazon, offering high-quality programming. This is the second new show launched by Hulu this week alone, a period comedy about a guy who just wants to have the chance to work on Johnny Carson. His Nebraska enthusiasm took him to the set for what he thought was a live taping, and from there things just started happening around him, as George Carlin was nearly not present and he was able to stand-in as a runner with no experience whatsoever. The choice to have Carson and his guests appear only in archive footage as themselves, similar the way Joseph McCarthy was portrayed in "Good Night, and Good Luck," is an intriguing one, since it helps the supporting players to stand out but also almost guarantees that there will be no interaction with the big dogs, at least nothing substantive since they aren't likely to ever appear in non-taped scenes. Ian Nelson seems affable and excitable enough as Ian, and it's good to see familiar faces like Roger Bart and Tony Danza in the cast, both having a great time playing their characters. I'm happiest to see the always-superb Jane Levy, who stole this entire pilot episode as Joy, who puts up with a lot and also manages to get a lot done. I'm not overly familiar with Carson, so the nostalgia factor doesn't work as well on me as I'm sure it does on others, but I'll give this show another chance to see where it goes.
How will it work as a series? Andy may have found himself a permanent job at the lowest level as a result of his misunderstanding and his curious attitude, and something tells me his positivity is going to propel him through all of the misery that might affect others, though it's going to be a complicated journey with all the jokes he doesn't get and the relationships that he can't hope to comprehend.
How long will it last? Like "Future Man," which premiered earlier this week, the entire first season – which here consists of seven episodes – was released on day one. Reviews seem to be pretty good, if not as strong as some of the network's other shows, and it will just be a question of whether it manages to achieve any popularity. I think it's possible, and I'd learn toward this one being renewed for a second season.
Pilot grade: B+

Hi I'm Jillian, welcome to my website a place where I share my passion and my work.
I am 51 years young and have been on my path since my early 30's. It's difficult to put a label on everything that I do but suffice to say it comes from a loving heart. I am a published writer, channel, speaker, mentor, healer, intuitive coach and a lover of all the beautiful things in life. I see it in the faces of children, older people, nature, animals. I see it in dance, colour, imagery, food. I hear it in music.This gives me the inspiration for the things that I write and teach.
This does not negate the darker side....All are valid and powerful teachers, as you well know.....Getting to this age and stage of life hasen't been without its fair share of knocks and bumps in the road, but I wouldn't change it ....Although some days it has been a case of pulling the duvet over my head...There have been times in the last few years when I have held my hands up to the creator and said "F**K IT I QUIT....Why did I sign up for this!!...
My background is in beauty therapy which I did for 20 years. During this time I was fortunate to travel around the world on a cruise liner, working in spas in the UK and internationally. I ran my own salon in Aberdeen, Scotland for 8 years but got to a point where I was fed up waxing bikini lines and making small talk. I wanted to go deeper into my true purpose and passion. It was no coincidence that my salon faced a church that said "Seek ye the kingdom of god and all will be given unto thee"
Life supported me with this change and by the time I was 32 relationship challenges and my hectic lifestyle led me to burn out. Looking for ways to support my immune system without the use of anti depressants and anti biotics I made some big shifts, became a reiki healer and started a counselling skills course. As reiki does, it opened up doors to the modalities of healing and self discovery that I needed which I have shared with others along the way. At age 47 I was knocked on my back again....Burnt out and unable to support myself financially I had to give up my home. Soon after that my relationship with my twin flame ended.....It was another opportunity to dig deep, embody what I teach and bring myself back into balance.
These bumps in the road have helped me develop a deeper level of love and empathy for the challenges we all go through living in this modern world. My role is to be a light in the darkness, a port in a storm, someone you can reach out to when times get tough. I like to think of myself as a good balance of wit and wisdom and I aim to empower you to re-member the tools and resources that you have inside to cope with anything that life can throw at you...To create your own unique blend of magic. To show up fully and share what you have to contribute in the world.
I work with the tools that I have garnered in this life and previous to create my unique blend....I AM an embodiment of it all.
What you may need to know
I am a Reiki Master. I am COSCA Counselling Skills trained Levels 1-4. I am an Accredited Teacher of Angels with The Diana Cooper Foundation. I am a previous mentor for Confidence Building with The More To Life Personal Development and Coaching Programme. I hold a certificate in Psychotherapy and Counselling with the Aberdeen Healing Centre. I have extensive knowledge on nutrition and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
I look forward to meeting you.
With love
Seek not to be connected to what you can achieve in this life. Seek more to be connected to the love inside you. Everything will come from that place.
Jillian Webster

thank you guys :)ReplyDelete
Looks awesome! I really love the blue ceiling too. I have a question about the cabinet with the gathered fabric... I'm currently trying to do this in my china cabinet to hide my stash of goodies in there (lol) and I can't find a good way to make the fabric "gather" properly!! There is glass in the center and on either side of the glass door there are two panels that will have chicken wire with fabric behind it. I've tried gathering the fabric and stapling it as I go but that doesn't work, and I'm not sure about using a tension rod since I want to be able to access the cabinet. Any ideas??ReplyDelete

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.

Kudos, Diane! This is one of the more beautifully done awards I've seen going around - actually got one myself on Free Spirit a while back.ReplyDelete
I shall become a loyal follower, Diane. and thank you for mentioning my blog. I know our visits have similar interests. We will make a great team.

Sometimes if my writing doesn't look so hot, I'll look at it and say "**I** wrote **this**?" If it strikes me as pretty good, then I'll get a little smug and self-satisfied. :-)

Hi, Diane!
Thanks for including my blog on your list. :)
Will follow through ASAP!
Just read your thoughts at the bottom of your post. Yes, that happens to me. And it's fun.
Of course, the opposite sometimes occurs too. Ha! "Oh dear. Did I write that?"
Thank you very much for the award!
I have done that same thing of reading something I wrote & actually being rather amazed that I did it. It's usually after I've set aside the manuscript for a period of time.

Richard M. Blau, Esq. is a shareholder with the law firm of GrayRobinson, P.A. He is chairman of the law firm's Regulated Products Law Department, and heads up the firm's Cannabis Industry Law Team focusing on the rules and regulations that govern the cultivation and production, processing, distribution, sale and dispensing of medical marijuana, hemp, CBD and related cannabis products.
Mr. Blau has been rated "Band 1" by Chambers USA since 2007, and was among the first lawyers in America to be rated Band 1 Nationwide for Cannabis Law. He also is listed in Best Lawyers in America, and is "AV" rated by Martindale-Hubbell. A substantial portion of Richard's professional efforts are focused on trade regulations, litigation and dispute resolution involving regulated products such as alcohol beverages, tobacco, firearms and explosives, as well as medical marijuana, hemp, cannabidiol (CBD) and related cannabis derivatives. He has been involved extensively with the legalization of cannabis in Florida since its outset with passage of the Compassionate Medical Cannabis Act of 2014 (SB 1030) into law on June 6, 2014.
An elected member of The American Law Institute, Richard also is a member of The Florida Bar, The New York Bar, The Bar Association of the District of Columbia, the American Bar Association and the Federal Bar Association. He currently serves as a board member of the Academy of Hospitality Industry Attorneys (AHIA).
Richard has written and lectured extensively on issues related to the legalization of the medical marijuana and broader cannabis industries, as well as the interaction between federal and state laws regulating cannabis. Most recently, he was the keynote speaker in the National Business Institute's 2019 seminar Medical Marijuana in Florida, as well as a lecturer on Mastering Cannabis & Marijuana Regulation for The Rossdale Group. Richard also advises financial institutions and investment organizations such as JP Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley and Raymond James on the unique legal issues associated with the interplay between federal financial services regulations and state laws legalizing cannabis.
Mr. Blau has been interviewed regarding medical marijuana issues by newspaper, radio and television journalists from numerous media outlets, and has written extensively regarding medical marijuana and cannabis. Examples include:
• Industrial Hemp Could Save American Agriculture
• Legalizing the Recreational Use of Marijuana in Florida Appears a No-Go in 2019
• Federal Appellate Court to Review Idaho Seizure of Industrial Hemp
Mr. Blau received his B.A. from Brandeis University and his J.D. from the Georgetown University Law Center, where he served as the Associate Editor for Topics of the Georgetown Law Journal.
