When, what, and how to survey after a disaster strikes – an experience from Tonga
This page in:
Back in March 2014, I had the opportunity to be part of a World Bank team supporting the Tongan government to develop a reconstruction policy after Tropical Cyclone Ian hit earlier this year. To implement the policy, the Ministry of Infrastructure led a series of surveys to inform housing reconstruction. This post, which does not intend to be scientific or exhaustive, is to share some of the key lessons I learned from this experience.
Damage assessments are routine in the aftermath of disasters, but they differ depending on their objectives (Hallegatte, 2012 - pdf). A rapid survey in the wake of a disaster event could help to estimate grossly the direct human and economic losses and damages. This type of survey is best to capture the amplitude and the severity of the disaster. However, such survey could present some flaws, often because the survey will be conducted in a very short time frame with minimal design. On the other hand, a survey conducted a few months after the event is best to understand better the context of the disaster. It also allows a better design and better preparation. But, equally, such survey could include biases. For instance, the time lag between the event and the survey itself could create some level of challenges. Most likely, people would have started to fix their houses or have moved away from the affected area, and that will add a layer of complexity to the survey.
Housing damage assessment for reconstruction
The first thing was to develop Terms of Reference (ToR) for the assessment. The ToR included the objectives of the assessment, the means to conduct it, the methodologies to be used, the expected results and the timeline. In Ha'apai, we mixed traditional and modern survey instruments for the housing damage assessment. The Ministry of Infrastructure hired engineers to conduct the structural assessment of houses and to report whether a house was repairable or not, habitable or not. For a practical reason, this damage level survey was done using paper forms. Working in a pair with the engineers, SOPAC, a regional science research organization in the Pacific, led the building assessment. Based on experience, the SOPAC team used Trimble—a handheld device with integrated GPS—which allowed faster and more efficient data collection. The team prepared in advance a survey questionnaire and entered the form into the Trimble with existing spatial building points collected by previous projects (including PCRAFI). Each building point was given a unique identifier (ID) using Geographic Information System (GIS). This ID will be the link between the paper forms and the data collected with the device. The SOPAC team captured general information that describes houses—such as the roof and wall types. Such data would inform the houses' structural vulnerability when combined with the damage level data from the engineers.
Household survey for reconstruction
A household survey was conducted in parallel with the damage assessment. A partnership between the Department of Statistics and the Tongan Ministry of Education allowed the involvement of teachers from Ha'apai as enumerators. The objective of the survey was then to identify the socio-economic vulnerability of households in the affected area. Some households had their houses totally destroyed by the cyclone; some had only partial damage, and some households were not affected at all. The decision to conduct the household survey was based on the year of the last census. The last census for Tonga was conducted in 2011, and it was decided that such information needed an update given the dynamic of households on the islands (the affected island was losing population by emigration to Tongatapu, the most populated island, or abroad); and also because, ultimately, the team was interested in working toward increasing household resiliency and not just reconstructing buildings. Nevertheless, the existing census was used as a baseline to generate a pre-list of households that the enumerators updated in the field during the survey. In addition to the usual demographic survey, households were asked about the impacts of Tropical Cyclone Ian on their assets as well as their self-recovery efforts.
Key lessons
Like any data collection, data quality control is the key in whatever type of survey instruments used. Such mechanism needs to be set up at the design level. One of the main challenges for the Tonga damage housing assessment was to link the three data sets from the building survey, the structural damage assessment and the household survey. Therefore, it is important to define in advance a reliable link between data sets and to set up redundant identification between the surveys. For Tonga, we used the "Building ID" and the "Name of Head of Household," but beware of names because "texts" are always tricky when it comes to statistical analysis. It is more advisable to use numerical IDs, which are easier to manipulate. The use of GPS-integrated devices also helped to directly geo-locate the surveyed houses and link them to the matching households. In the future, I would encourage exploring more the use of smart devices and new technology for damage and loss assessment surveys. I believe this type of data collection could save time and reduce systematic errors in surveys.
What is your experience in conducting surveys? I would be very interested in hearing your perspective on the topic.
Join the Conversation
I was conducting survey of forest fringe in 27 states rural India (275 districts).
I have observed that communities are fed-up with these kinds of surveys if they are not actively participating.
Thank you Afaq for your comment. I agree with you. It is important that communities participate in surveys. I would even say that it is important we share and discuss results of surveys with them. In the context of this work, the list of identified vulnerable households resulting from the surveys was shared with communities and civil society, to be confronted.
Thanks for sharing your experience on this. I hope one day I will have field works to relate my experiences too.
Thank you for your interest. I am looking forward to reading your field experiences in the future.

WASHINGTON – The nation's largest airlines posted an on-time arrival rate of 78.8 percent in August, down from the 79.1 percent on-time rate from August 2012, but up from the 73.1 percent mark from July 2013, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation's Air Travel Consumer Report released today.
Airlines also reported two tarmac delays of more than three hours on domestic flights and no tarmac delays of more than four hours on international flights in August. Both of the reported tarmac delays involved flights scheduled to arrive in Denver, Colo. on Aug. 3 that were diverted due to storms. Both delays are under investigation by the Department.
The larger U.S. airlines have been required to file complete reports on their long tarmac delays for domestic flights since October 2008. Under a rule that took effect Aug. 23, 2011, all U.S. and foreign airlines operating at least one aircraft with 30 or more passenger seats must report lengthy tarmac delays at U.S. airports.
Also beginning Aug. 23, 2011, carriers operating international flights may not allow tarmac delays at U.S. airports to last longer than four hours without giving passengers an opportunity to deplane. There is a separate three-hour limit on tarmac delays involving domestic flights, which went into effect in April 2010. Exceptions to the time limits for both domestic and international flights are allowed only for safety, security, or air traffic control-related reasons. Severe weather could cause or exacerbate such situations.
The consumer report also includes data on cancellations, chronically delayed flights, and the causes of flight delays filed with the Department's EmEdjimurjE (BTS) by the reporting carriers. In addition, the consumer report contains information on mishandled baggage reports filed by consumers with the carriers, and consumer service, disability, and discrimination complaints received by DOT's Aviation Consumer Protection Division. The consumer report also includes reports of incidents involving the loss, death, or injury of pets traveling by air, as required to be filed by U.S. carriers.
The reporting carriers canceled 1.0 percent of their scheduled domestic flights in August, down from both the 1.3 percent cancellation rate posted in August 2012 and the 1.7 percent rate posted in July 2013.
Chronically Delayed Flights
At the end of August, there were 11 regularly scheduled flights that were chronically delayed – more than 30 minutes late more than 50 percent of the time – for three consecutive months. There were an additional 96 regularly scheduled flights that were chronically delayed for two consecutive months. There were no chronically delayed flights for four months or more. A list of flights that were chronically delayed for a single month is available from .
Causes of Flight Delays
In August, the carriers filing on-time performance data reported that 5.66 percent of their flights were delayed by aviation system delays, compared to 7.40 percent in July; 8.03 percent by late-arriving aircraft, compared to 9.98 percent in July; 5.79 percent by factors within the airline's control, such as maintenance or crew problems, compared to 6.77 percent in July; 0.49 percent by extreme weather, compared to 0.76 percent in July; and 0.04 percent for security reasons, equal to 0.04 percent in July.
Weather is a factor in both the extreme-weather category and the aviation-system category. This includes delays due to the re-routing of flights by DOT's Federal Aviation Administration in consultation with the carriers involved. Weather is also a factor in delays attributed to late-arriving aircraft, although airlines do not report specific causes in that category.
Data collected by BTS also shows the percentage of late flights delayed by weather, including those reported in either the category of extreme weather or included in National Aviation System delays. In August, 33.83 percent of late flights were delayed by weather, down from 32.95 percent in August 2012 and 37.91 percent in July 2013.
Detailed information on flight delays and their causes is available on the BTS website at http://emedjimurje.info.
Mishandled Baggage
The U.S. carriers reporting flight delays and mishandled baggage data posted a mishandled baggage rate of 3.12 reports per 1,000 passengers in August, down from both August 2012's rate of 3.38 and July 2013's rate of 3.68.
Incidents Involving Pets
In August, carriers reported four incidents involving the loss, death, or injury of pets while traveling by air, down from both the five reports filed in August 2012 and the six reports filed in July 2013. August's incidents involved the deaths of two pets and the injuries of two pets.
Complaints About Airline Service
In August, the Department received 1,318 complaints about airline service from consumers, down 30.0 percent from the 1,883 complaints filed in August 2012 and down 18.0 percent from the 1,607 received in July 2013.
Complaints About Treatment of Disabled Passengers
The report also contains a tabulation of complaints filed with DOT in August against airlines regarding the treatment of passengers with disabilities. The Department received a total of 87 disability-related complaints in August, up from the total of 72 complaints filed in August 2012, but down from the 88 complaints received in July 2013.
Complaints About Discrimination
In August, the Department received seven complaints alleging discrimination by airlines due to factors other than disability – such as race, religion, national origin, or sex – down from both the total of 10 recorded in August 2012 and the 12 recorded in July 2013.
Consumers may file their complaints in writing with the Aviation Consumer Protection Division, U.S. Department of Transportation, C-75, W96-432, 3333 New Jersey Ave. SE, Washington, DC 11111; by voice mail at (202) 366-2220 or by TTY at (202) 366-0511; or on the web at .
Consumers who want on-time performance data for specific flights should call their airline's reservation number or their travel agent. This information is available on the computerized reservation systems used by these agents. The information is also available on the appropriate carrier's website.
The Air Travel Consumer Report can be found on DOT's World Wide Web site at . It is available in �" and Microsoft Word format.

The Real Poz Guys of Atlanta III
A Video Blog
Why Andy Cohen isn't badgering me with phone calls to bring this series to Bravo, I'll never know.
Nearly four years ago, I invited four friends living with HIV over to my place for a night of devouring brownies and sharing secrets, while my friend Charles captured it on video. The result was "You Gotta Have Friends," the first episode of what would be renamed "The Real Poz Guys of Atlanta." The second episode was posted more than a year later (you can see a recap and both previous episodes here). And now, episode three.
These guys must be getting the hang of this, because we discussed and revealed things like never before. From crystal meth addiction to our mothers, nothing was off limits. There's even a (NSFW-ish) chat about tops and bottoms and modern gay sexual politics. And dealing with loss. And reaching out for help when you really need it.
I'm not going to lie, I'm proud of this video. It's clear that my editing skills have improved since our first episode along with the group's ability to keep it real. More importantly, the video series represents a lot of issues I feel passionately about – combating HIV stigma with honesty about our status, the crucial importance of social support, and living joyfully. That, and I love hearing my friends talk dirty for a good reason.
I really hope you share this one with your friends and networks (select one of the share features below). I think it represents what this site does best. And judging from the emails I receive, there's a real need for people with HIV, particularly the newly diagnosed, to know that life, and friendship, doesn't end with a positive test result.
I look forward to your comments! Thanks for watching, and please be well.

Cloud conversations: AWS Government Cloud (GovCloud)August 24, 2012 – 4:06 pm
Following earlier cloud conversations posts, cloud computing means many things from products to services, functionality and positioned for different layers of service delivery or capabilities (e.g. SaaS, AaaS, PaaS, IaaS and XaaS).
Consequently it is no surprise when I hear from different people their opinion, belief or perception of what is or is not a cloud, confidence or concerns, or how to use and abuse clouds among other related themes.
A common theme I hear talking with IT professionals on a global basis centers around conversations about confidence in clouds including reliability, security, privacy, compliance and confidentiality for where data is protected and preserved. This includes data being stored in different geography locations ranging from states or regions to countries and continents. What I also often hear are discussion around concerns over data from counties outside of the US being stored in the US or vice versa of information privacy laws.
Cost is also coming up in many conversations, which is interesting in that many first value propositions have been presented around cloud being cheaper. As with many things it depends, some services and usage models can be cheaper on a relative basis, just like some can be more expensive. Think of it this way, for some people a lease of an automobile can cheaper on monthly cash flow vs. buying or making loan payments. On the other hand, a buy or loan payment can have a lower overall cost depending on different factors then a lease.
As with many cloud conversations, cost and return on investment (ROI) will vary, just as how the cloud is used to impact your return on innovation (the new ROI) will also vary.
This brings me to something else I hear during my travels and in other conversations with IT; practitioners (e.g. customers and users as well as industry pundits) is a belief that governments cannot use clouds. Again, it depends on what type of government, the applications, sensitivity of data among others factors.
Some FUD (Fear uncertainty doubt) I hear includes blanket statements such as governments cannot use cloud services or cloud services do not exist for governments. Again it comes down to digging deeper into the conversation such as what type of cloud, applications, government function, security and sensitivity among other factors.
Keep in mind that there are services including those from Amazon Web Services (AWS) such as their Government Cloud (GovCloud) region. Granted, GovCloud is not applicable to all government cloud needs or types of applications or data or security clearances among other concerns.
Needless to say AWS GovCloud is not the only solution out there on a public (government focused), private or hybrid basis, there are probably even some super double secret ultra-private or hybrid fortified government clouds that most in the government including experts are not aware of. However if those do exist, certainly talking about them is also probably off-limits for discussions even by the experts.
Speaking of AWS, here is a link to an analysis of their cloud storage for archiving and inactive big data called Glacier, along with analysis of AWS Cloud Storage Gateway. Also, keep in mind that protecting data in the cloud is a shared responsibility meaning there are things both you as the user or consumer as well as the provider need to do.
Btw, what is your take on clouds? Click here to cast your vote and see what others are thinking about clouds.
Ok, nuff said for now.

BRUSSELS, March 31 (Reuters) - Associated British Foods received permission on Tuesday from European Union regulators to buy the Spanish sugar arm of foods group Ebro Puleva in a deal worth 385 million euros ($510 million).
The European Commission, which monitors competition in the 27-nation bloc, said in a statement that the transaction would not significantly impede effective competition in the EU region.
ABF said in December that the deal to buy Azucarera Ebro, which supplies half of the 1.6 million tonnes of sugar consumed in Iberia, would likely be completed early this year and would enhance its earnings by 2010.
Ebro Puleva put its sugar business up for sale in May 2008 as European sugar refiners embarked on a wave of consolidation following European Union sugar subsidy reforms in 2006. (Reporting by Foo Yun Chee, editing by Dale Hudson)

- I feel a great mascara can open the eye and instantly make you look as though you've have a good night's sleep, even when that is not the case. I use 2-3 coats of Lancome Fatale on the top, bottom, and also on the back of the top lashes.
- Because of my Indian ancestry, I love darkly rimmed eyes – a messy eye adds a sexy yet natural look to a classic outfit. To make the eyes smoky, I use Revlon's Luxurious Color Kohl eyeliner in Black Truffle on the inside of the lids.
- Bright lipstick is a way to quickly pop an outfit and freshen up a look a la Ava Gardner in "The Barefoot Contessa." My favorite bright is MAC's Morange lipstick – it's a great way to add a twist to a classic look.
- Another way to make your face pop is to fill in the eyebrows. I use Bobbi Brown's eye shadow in Navajo.

2014 Developer Salary Survey, May 13, 2014 Our survey of more than 2,200 U.S. developers shows salaries in a well-paid field are nudging up as the economy picks up steam.
Every year, I comment about the persistent shortfall in women's salaries; and the number in this year's survey suggest the disparity continues. Lamenting this disturbing state of affairs predictably generates hostile comments to this article or sent in greater detail to my inbox. The most common "explanation" is that women are less aggressive when negotiating salary than men are. This seems plausible in the absence of data, but looking at this chart, we see that women staff salaries declined this year. What happened to the raises those staff received? Did new hires become so terrible at negotiation this year as to drag down the average? The argument make little sense; even less sense when compared with men's salaries over the last five years, which rose 11% while women's salaries rose than less than 3%. Let's call it what it is, a persistent prejudice against women that belies the fantasy that our field is a pure meritocracy. From the standpoint of compensation, it simply is not and has not been for years, if ever.

Few brands can lay claim to the kind of resolutely masculine heritage that Burberry boasts. These days the company's extraordinary business success shares top billing with its clothes, but that shouldn't distract one from the fact that its trench coats have an unrivalled history.
The trench coat was created to go to war in. Originally designed in 1895 for British officers fighting in the Boer War, the coat's current form was developed in 1914, for soldiers in WWI. It remains relevant 116 years after it was first designed.
Original military details that persist are the epaulettes, throat latch, hook and bar, back rain shield, the D-ring on the belt, the cuff straps and the storm flap on the right shoulder, which can button over the coat's wrap to keep the rain out.
The company's extraordinary business success shares top billing with its clothes, but that shouldn't distract one from the fact that its trench coats have an unrivalled history
Mr Thomas Burberry, who founded his eponymous company in 1856, invented gabardine, which is a method of weaving fabric (either wool or cotton) that makes it rainproof. In 1911 gabardine proved its worth in the ultimate real-world test, when Norwegian explorer Mr Roald Amundsen used Burberry equipment to conquer the South Pole.
Three years later Sir Ernest Shackleton, the famous Antarctic explorer, wore Burberry gabardine on his polar expedition, and in 1984 a modern-day explorer, Mr Robert Swan, wore Burberry for his In the Footsteps of Scott expedition.
In 1920 the famous Burberry check, registered as a trademark, was first used to line trench coats - the lining of this coat is in cotton.
The popularity of trench coats hasn't waned since they were introduced. In the 1940s they were still considered sportswear, and were advertised as dog-walking coats, while in the 1960s styles were slimmer and more simple - much as they are now.
By the 1980s the celebrated British artist Mr David Hockney was pairing his trench coat with a polka-dot bow tie. Prince Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales wore his-and-hers coats for public appearances. The company's royal connection - Elizabeth II granted Burberry a royal warrant - had been refreshed in the 1960s when HRH Prince Charles started to wear Burberry coats. He granted the company a royal warrant in 1989.
Mr Christopher Bailey, Burberry's chief creative officer, was appointed in May 2001 and has spent a decade turning the company into a byword for international fashion. His signature look is a vibrantly youthful take on classic British style, perpetually inspired by the music scene.

Let me preface this by saying I've purchased multiple metal prints from Fine Art America in the past and have not had any issues. Unfortunately I had one with this metal print. The photo content itself is great - the artist did a great job capturing Broken Top. it's the Fine Art America metal print manufacturing process and unresponsive customer service that gets low marks. When I received it (packaged with another metal print which was just fine) this had a pinpoint dent in the back of the metal which caused a point defect to protrude in an noticeable spot. The upper left corner of the frame was bent as well. Packaging was not dented at all, and the other metal print which I got was undamaged as well, so I can only conclude this happened during the manufacturing process. I sent a web form to customer service nearly 3 weeks ago with extensive pictures about this. I never got a response. Last week I tried started the automated returns process (which requires me to ship back the defective print at my expense which I read on the forums that damaged prints can be replaced free of charge) only to find out it needed to be received in 2 days because I was up against the 30 day limit. I shouldn't have waited so long to get a response, and/or should have been e-mailing customer support daily to get this resolved. In an ideal world Fine Art America would have sent me a replacement metal print and I would have fawned over the customer service and rated this 5 stars. Instead I have a metal print which I can't really hang and am out $300, and the artist unfairly gets a 1 star review. Not their fault Fine Art America messed this one up.

Mike Conley and Courtney Lee each scored 18 points, and the Memphis Grizzlies beat the Portland Trail Blazers, 97-82, Wednesday night to grab the franchise's first 2-0 lead in a playoff series.
The Grizzlies took full advantage of starting the playoffs with home-court advantage for only the second time in their short postseason history. They had only won their playoff opener once before, and that was on the road in San Antonio in 2011.
Marc Gasol had 15 points, and Zach Randolph and Beno Udrih added 10 apiece.

Tampa Bay Rays Tickets
Tampa Bay Rays Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews 100 0
No Joe Maddon? No problem. according to the Rays early season performance. They impressed out of the gate with a winning record in a weaker-than-expected division. They sport a pretty weak lineup, but it provides a nice balance of guys who can get on base now and then around Evan Longoria. Not to be overlooked, Longoria is doing his best to carry the offense on his back without the support of even Ben Zobrist, who was traded in the offseason. Unproven guys picked up off the scrap heap, like Kevin Kiermaier and Logan Forsythe, have proven more effective than some proven veterans, like Asdrubal Cabrera. But interesting young pitching has kept this team where it is in the standings. Jake Odorizzi and Chris Archer form a great 1-2 punch all of a sudden, but losing Drew Smyly for the season was a critical hit. With little help going to come from the offense, this pitching should decide the Rays season. The Tampa Bay Rays play at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg. The duo of Maddon at manager and Andrew Friedman at GM was credited for the great success of the last seven years but was broken by Friedman leaving for the Dodgers, Maddon for the Cubs. They helped produce four playoff appearances in six seasons, including a World Series appearance in 2008, but they wouldn't win another series after that. In 2014 the Rays sunk to their first losing season since 2007, so it may have been time for a change. Their weak small market and bad stadium situation remain unsolved, which hurts the team financially and will continue to affect their ability to compete even with revenue sharing. But they've found a way to do it against all circumstances, and there's somehow another strong Rays team out there in 2015! So head out to a game and check out the devil ray tank in center field. Gold Coast Tickets has the best selection of Rays tickets!

May is National Stroke Awareness Month
Heather C.
Wednesday, January 16, 2013
By: Heather Choinski
Family & Caregiver
I am no stranger to health related issues while growing up with my family. My father is a type one diabetic and became visually impaired due to a mini-stroke when I was sixteen. Also at sixteen my grandfather was diagnosed with Alzheimers. My other grandfather passed away due to lung cancer when I was small. One of my grandmother's died of viral pneumonia and my other grandmother passed on due to old age. My mother was an emergency room nurse for twenty-eight years. She lived with health crisis's at home and on the work front. She always had stories to tell. My mother remained tough, looked invincible. But looks can be deceiving. On October 1st 2009, the thought to pursue a career in the medical field was inevitable and along with it came a variety of mixed emotions.
My family and I were going to church to take a family photo. And we were acting like our usual selves. Then it came our turn for a photograph. My mother was behind my father and she started clenching his shoulder. After the photographer took the shot, my mother fell backwards. I lifted her up back into a chair and she had a panicked look upon her face. I kept saying to her, "mom, mom"; she was not responding. So I raised my voice and said, "Mom, look at me!" She uttered out, "I feel funny." And then I ran out of the church in a panic. I have never seen my mother look so scared.
Thankfully my sister was able to keep her cool and called an ambulance. The paramedics arrived promptly and took her to Freodert Medical Hospital; she was admitted into the neural intensive care unit. So many questions and thoughts were going through my head. Like: is she going to make it?, or why would any god do this to their people? My thoughts were with my father when the doctor's suggested that he should probably say goodbye to your wife. Needless to say, our family did not sleep much that night.
The next day we found out my mother had a cerebrovascular accident; also known as a stroke. She had bleeding on both sides of her brain; and accomponied with high blood pressure. I found out at a later date that her blood pressure was in the two-hundred's when the paramedics arrived! It looks like her chances of her survival were slim according to the doctors. But to everyone's surprise she lived through it and awoke a couple days later.
The good news is that my mother lived through an ordeal that would normally kill a person. The aftermath of this ordeal is having to watch her fight an emotional and physical war within herself. Physically she is very limited: with partial paralysis on her left side and facial paralysis on the right side. Around christmas time in 2009, I was watching my mother go through a physical therapy session. She was walking in between two bars with assistance from the therapist. Watching her working and trying so hard to regain what was lost makes me proud to have someone as tough as her for a mother. Mentally she is as sharp as she ever was; and is also wiser. It still baffles and impresses me how with it she is mentally. One time a friend and I were watching my mther go through a speech therapy session. Afterwards my friend told me she was figuring out the mathematical problems faster than he was. She can still keep up with the best of them.
Emotionally it has been a bit of a struggle over the past three years. It is hard to see her get frustrated and upset when people are not able to understand her. Making an effort to really listen to her helps make it easier on myself. The one thing that she has said over the past three years that I hate to hear is, "you should of just let me die." I get upset everytime she says that and I have no idea how to respond to that without getting upset and emotional as well. But with encouragement from me and everybody who cares about her, she usually stops thinking so negativly. She knows she has a long road to recovery, but thinking so poorly will not help make the fight any easier. She is beating this, slowly but surely.
While dealing with my parents and helping them take care of their issues, I have also been trying to find myself. During the time of her stroke, I was a music student. I have been playing music for practically my whole life. And music will be a part of my life forever whether I want it to or not. But I kept thinking to myself, 'is this going to make me happy?'. Or is this going to fulfil my want to help people in the long run? And I started having doubts if a full time career in music would fill the desire I have to help the ill. After obtaining my associates in music, this began my journey to seriously consider a career in the medical field. The question I kept asking myself was, what would I do?
Alverno College has a music therapy program. I was drawn to it because I could still use music in my life and my personal talents could be used to help disabled people in various shapes and forms. But as I sat in my first course, I realized that this career path would of destroyed me. Emotionally, it was too much for me to bear. Then I decided to give the bachelor's degree in music a shot. I exceled in all my music courses, no problem for me. But I felt empty and thoughtless when I was in the courses. I felt like I was at a dead end when it came to music. Due to those feelings I decided to take a temporary leave from Alverno for at least one school year. And then I went on to make the biggest mistake I made this year.
Massage therapy was always an interest of mine. And little did I know there was massage therapy programs in the Milwaukee area. The only one that called me back was Anthem College. The diploma package was too good to be true; I would have gotten my own massage table and chair included with my tuition! So I signed up right away. Things were finally looking up career-wise. But then I fell ill with pneumonia and had to be put in the hospital. Due to attendance policies, they terminated me from the program; even though they knew where I was at. I even called them back while I was in the intensive care unit! I was hurt and upset that they were not willing to work with me at all. So I decided to cut my losses with them, cancel my loans, and not communicate with them again.
Talking with my mom one day while visiting her the idea of nursing came up. I never really thought about pursuing a career in nursing until after the Anthem College debacle. She always said I would make a good nurse. I always laughed when she said that. But then at work while on my break I did a self-assessment test for a career change. And nursing was the top option in my scoring. Needless to say, I was shocked and thought I did something wrong; I did not. Sitting in my cubicle after break, I started thinking about what my life would be like if I became a nurse. It hit me like a train! This is what I was supposed to do. And it has been staring at me in the face my entire life!
When I told my mother I am going to pursue nursing, she just smiled and said, "go for it, I know you can do it." I am returning to Alverno in the spring of 2014 as a pre-nursing major. I only have to complete the introductory science courses and a nursing diagnostic assessment to get into the nursing program. My advisor and a nursing instructor that was my teacher from a past class told me I am not going to have a problem with either one. The instructor told me while I was meeting with her that I was the "quintessential Alverno woman". I felt good about my decision. I finally have a plan! That is what I was missing in music.
Growing up with an emergency room nurse for a mother you see the world in a different light. And when an emergency happened with her, life changed. Watching my mother work back from square one: I have realized how important it is to help people in a physical, mental, and emotional capacity. And who knows maybe I'll integrate music with nursing someday. My mother and what has happened to her is the root inspiration to why I am deciding to pursue a career in nursing.

NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's men's cross country team finished eighth out of 37 teams and the women were 23rd in a 42-team field at the annual UMass Dartmouth Invitational at the UMD Athletic Complex Saturday.
The Corsair men scored 255 points, 74 behind seventh-place UMass Lowell and 74 ahead of ninth-place Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Keene State was first with 68 points. The UMD women scored 700 points, 12 in back of 22nd-place Wheaton, and 13 in front of 24th-place Babson. The men scored 406 points and finished 13th in the 18-team sub-varsity race.
Junior Nick Santoro (Shrewsbury, MA/St. John's HS) was the top finisher for the men in the five-mile race, finishing 40th in 25:50. Sophomore Kevin Gilmore (Hanson, MA/Whitman-Hanson HS) was 42nd in 25:53, senior Tim Whelan (Abington, MA/Abington HS) was 52nd in 26:11, freshman Jeremy Francisco (Dartmouth, MA/Darmouth HS) was 55th in 26:13, junior Eric Nygaard (Medway, MA/Medway HS) was 66th in 26:25, sophomore Steve Burke (Norwell, MA/Norwell HS) was 108th in 27:21, and sophomore Ryan Sechovicz (Kingston, MA/Silver Lake Regional HS) finished 169th in 28:56.
For the women, sophomore Caitlin McGarrigal (Shutesbury, MA/Amherst Regional HS) led the way, finishing the five kilometer race in 69th place with a time of 19:56. Sophomore Megan Oliveira (Somerset, MA/Somerset HS) was 112th in 20:38, sophomore Tessa McGrail (Shrewsbury, MA/Shrewsbury HS) was 154th in 21:22, senior Jess Carpenter (Rutland, MA/Wachusett Regional HS) was 182nd in 21:46, freshman Rachel Leblanc (Berkley, MA/Somerset HS) was 183rd in 21:47, sophomore Stacey Dybel (Littleton, MA/Notre Dame Academy) was 195th in 22:03, sophomore Meaghan Bohigian (Barre, MA/Quabbin Regional HS) was 212th in 22:21, and sophomore Emily Migre (Whitman, MA/Whitman-Hanson HS) was 251st in 23:17.
Men's sub-varsity finishers included senior David Buschini (Newburyport, MA/Newburyport HS), 37th in 27:50, junior Wes Meserve (Merrimack, MA/Merrimack HS), 72nd in 29:28, freshman Brad Spooner (Carver, MA/Carver HS), 82nd in 30:07, sophomore Kevin Cordaro (Whitman, MA/Whitman-Hanson HS), 102nd in 32:16, and sophomore Joe Collins (West Roxbury, MA/Norfolk Agricultural Vo Tech), 113th in 34:48.
"For the men, I think the spread between our first and fifth runners was 35 seconds, which is very good, and that's the key to top level running," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Jon Hird. "We beat some pretty good schools. Jeremy Francisco was terrific again for a freshman. Eric Nygaard, who did not have cross country at his high school, and Tim Whelan, who did a great job of training during the summer, did well. We lost four of our top five guys from last year, but our guys really came to race this year."
"On the women's side, Caitlin McGarigal did a great job of finishing after she got knocked down at the start of the race," said Hird. "She continues to improve, and we haven't yet seen her at her best. Megan Oliveira and Tessa McGrail also ran well, as did Jess Carpenter and freshman Rachel Leblanc. Our women just need more experience."
The Corsairs will return to action when they travel to the Connecticut College Invitational next Saturday.


text: Never were so many loathed so much by so few. I'm talking about shoes here, people: the scourge of grotesque, pestilential, monstrous, outlandish footwear that the nation — nay, the world —- seems to have embraced without a murmur of protest. It started with the gladiator sandal, which quickly mutated into the gladiator boot, which spawned a million vile booties, which became foot-swallowing anamorphic pumps. Is there no end?The Observer blames the bootie on Los Angeles, and advises that the optimal look for the season is one "that make you look like a sexy Martian." They add that, "we love ankle boots, hopeful shoes for hopeful times." Ankle boots themselves are inoffensive enough, of course. But the openworked, studded, bejeweled, toe-baring monstrosities stalking our streets today are to the utilitarian ankle boot what A.N. Roquelaure is to Anne Rice: a scary and unfamiliar mutation. It's not just that every single shoe out there is a hideous object, some kind of kinetic wire sculpture ripoff, but they're also unflattering (foreshortening the leg) and impractical (open-toed boots, anyone?) How many times lately have we scanned a lovely gown on the red carpet, only to find our eyes accosted by some sinister melange of patent and buckles advancing up the leg? We are all used to senseless trends, but the scale and scope of this one is alarming. Whether it's a defiant nod to frivolity in straitened circumstances or a symbolic appropriation of the zeitgeist's ugliness (Weimar-style), is beyond my powers to say. But this I can say, and will say: please, I beg of you, make it stop. Shake Your Booties, Ladies! Go-Go Shoe Is a Go-To [New York Observer]

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—Birmingham-Southern held off a fourth-quarter rally by the Hendrix Warriors to win its home opener, 35-32, Saturday on Battle Field at Panther Stadium.
The Panthers move to 2-0, while Hendrix falls to 1-1. It was the first meeting between the programs, as Hendrix is in its first season since restarting football after a 52-year hiatus.
BSC scored the first two touchdowns of the game, the first a 34-yard pass from senior Tyson Beacham to junior Michael Cowan and the second a seven-yard run by junior Marquis Pratt. Senior kicker Ryan Laughlin hit both extra points, after missing a 38-yard field goal attempt on BSC's first drive, giving the Panthers a 14-0 lead with 10 seconds left in the first quarter.
The Warriors got on the board at the 12:09 mark of the second quarter when Steve Crenshaw made a 43-yard field goal, but the Panthers answered a little over three minutes later when senior Joe Moultrie rushed seven yards to the end zone. Laughlin's extra point was good to put BSC up 21-3, and they took the lead into the halftime break.
Hendrix came out strong in the third quarter, scoring three straight touchdowns to pull ahead 24-21 for the only lead of the game. Two of the scores were on passes from Seth Peters to Casey Caton, and the third was a pass from Peters to Travus McMahon.
The Warrior lead was short-lived, with the pull-ahead touchdown coming at the 13:11 mark of the fourth quarter and BSC scoring at the 11:05 mark when senior Tyler Johnson caught an 11-yard pass from Beacham. Laughlin connected on the extra point, and then he did so again three minutes later after a 12-yard run by junior Issac Nichols, putting the Panthers up 35-24 with 8:05 left to play.
Hendrix would score the final touchdown of the game on a 12-yard pass from Peters to McMahon, and Caleb Brake caught the two-point conversion pass, cutting the BSC lead to 35-32, but the Warriors wouldn't get another chance, with the Panthers hanging on to the ball until time expired.
Beacham was 22-28 with 263 yards and two touchdowns, while Moultrie led on the ground with 113 yards on 18 carries, and Cowan led with 114 yards on six catches. Moultrie also led with 172 all-purpose yards.
For Hendrix, Peters was 37-46 for 345 yards and four touchdowns, and Caton had 151 yards and two touchdowns on 13 catches. Dayton Winn led with 51 yards rushing on 15 carries.
On defense, junior Devante Smith led BSC with 10 tackles, nine of those solo, and junior Wesley Hansard was impressive with five tackles-for-losses of 29 yards, including three sacks for losses of 22 yards as well as a quarterback hurry. Junior Connor Shannon also had two sacks for losses of 14 yards, and senior Cameron Budzius and junior Paden Gaines also had sacks.
Caleb Shannon led the Hendrix defense with 11 tackles, eight solo.
The Panthers are on the road next week, traveling to Deland, Fla., to face first-year NCAA Division I non-scholarship Stetson University at 7 p.m. Eastern. BSC then returns home on Sept. 28 to take on No. 5 Wesley College at 1 p.m.

Preserving a history of heroism
A story that recently appeared in a newspaper insinuated that Pilsen is too rinky-dink of a community to be the home of historical artifacts related to Father Emil Kapaun, the heroic Army chaplain who died protecting and serving his fellow prisoners of war in the Korean War and who is being honored Thursday with the posthumous presentation of the Medal of Honor — not to mention his candidacy for sainthood.
Isn't it possible that Kapaun's upbringing in a small community contributed to his strength of character? Perhaps he looked out for his fellow soldiers because he had grown up seeing people look out for their neighbors? Pilsen is the appropriate home for Kapaun's Medal of Honor.
But is Pilsen ready for the attention it will receive, ready to keep safe, and preserve its special history? That is another question, and it is one that devoted volunteers are working hard to answer, "Yes." They have consulted with law enforcement and are making plans to keep the relics of this special piece of Marion County's history safe.
But it is going to take money to make the upgrades church volunteers want. People's generous donations to the cause for Kapaun's canonization are tied up in the candidacy for sainthood, and there is nothing available for building improvements.
We at the newspaper asked for and received permission to establish a Chaplain Kapaun Legacy Fund on behalf of the local volunteers to preserve the historical legacy of Kapaun in Pilsen and Marion County. Fund donations, which can be made at Tampa State Bank, will only be used to secure and preserve the mini-museum and, hopefully, for the eventual construction of a visitor center near St. John Nepomucene Church, where Kapaun attended church as a boy and where he served as a priest.
To kick it off, we will donate $1,000 in the hope of spurring other donations. To encourage more donations to this worthy cause, we have made arrangements with Didde Publishers of Emporia to print Monsignor Arthur Tonne's 1954 book about Kapaun, The Story of Chaplain Kapaun, as a serial beginning next week.

Imagine you're in a restaurant with your family during dinner time. Now, look around your table at your spouse and children.
Imagine you're in a restaurant with your family during dinner time. Now, look around your table at your spouse and children.
Chances are they aren't looking back at you, as their faces are buried into back-lit screens on smartphones and tablets. Children, teens and adults of all ages are texting, tweeting, posting to Facebook or Instagram or even responding to the latest email from their boss.
Do you ever wish cellphones, iPods, tablets or video games could be locked away, at least until dinner is over?
Mimia Brown, 33, of Thibodaux does. She said she's often bothered by people in restaurants or other public places with phones, portable video games or other hand-held devices.
"Having a phone at the table is rude and disrespectful," she said. "Our child is not even allowed to bring his when we go out to eat."
Annoyed with his kids' smartphones intruding on family time, Ike Sutton, a Brooklyn, N.Y. resident and father of six, created the Cell Lock-Up. The device is a toy jail cell large enough to imprison up to six iPhones, Galaxys and HTCs from a mandatory minimum of 15 minutes up to an hour.
Sutton works as a product design and marketing consultant for toymaker EB Brands. The company put the product on the market in December.
The Cell Phone Lock-Up costs about $20. It is a 7-inch cube with a mock bunkbed, allowing parents to double up on jailed devices if needed.
A voice alert sounds "Alert! Alert! Break-out in progress," if anyone tries to free a phone from the slammer.
While locals agree wholeheartedly with the premise, many say they enforce electronics regulations at their homes in a much simpler way.
"We have family meals at our dining table, and there are no electronics allowed," Houma resident Faith Albert said, adding that she gets the whole family involved in the regulation.
"When my 16-year-old has friends over, my 5-year-old goes over our table rules," she said.
Brown said all children should be so astute, adding that adults need to set the proper example for table manners.
"I get bewildered when I see young children at restaurants with a (Nintendo) DS or some other electronic device," she said. "Why not teach children manners; although, they do learn by example."
Dana Davis, clinical psychotherapist at the Children's Advocacy Center in Terrebonne Parish said she absolutely agrees with the Cell Phone Lock-Up because "we have lost the art of conversation." The only exception, she says, is for people who are on call at work or have an immediate, emergency need to have access to a phone.
"And in that, we've lost the art of truly communicating. Communication isn't just words. It's the thought, the emotion, the intent, the excitement you hear in people's voices, and it's the body language. That all makes up true communication," she said. "But we're not seeing reactions and appreciating the impact of what we say. When we are face-to-face with people, we edit ourselves. We're more thoughtful with what we have to say. But we don't edit ourselves in that same way when we communicate in written mediums like texting."
Krysta Ricks, 22, of Houma said her parents found a way to eliminate the issue completely — by keeping everyone's hands preoccupied.
"I'm not a parent, but in our household, everyone has a chore on Sunday evening," she said. "Someone cooks, someone puts the food on the table, someone sets the dishes, etc. We also have Hi-Lo, which means to go around the table and everyone tells their high and low points of the week. All that meaningful conversation and busy work brings us together, and we don't really think about our phones until dinner's over. It's only once a week, but it means a lot to my family to be together on Sunday."
Davis said the preoccupation with electronics exists in both youth and adults.
"It has become a barrier to true intimacy, not sexual but human interaction where people really connect," she said. "That connection is especially a key component in dealing with your children. The role of electronic media for communication between parents with children should be a safety device and contact advice that allows you to reach them for location, emergency or if they have a need."
The mother of two said cellphones should not be a primary device with which you communicate with your children, adding that she prefers conversations over the phone to text messages.
She said traditions like the one Rick's family practices play an important role in maintaining proper communication in families.
In fact, she enforced a similar practice while raising her kids, now 23 and 27.
"I told my kids, 'As long as I pay for your cell service, I have control of that phone.' And I absolutely, positively believe it should be locked up from bed time until it's time to wake up. There is nothing they need to do that can be accomplished on their cellphones during those hours," said Davis, whose patients range from ages 12 to 21.
She often sees parents who are unaware of how much time their children actually spend on electronic devices.
"Parents are diluted. A lot of communication that is not productive occurs during those hours," Davis said. "Things that would have otherwise been dropped after school are not."
Davis said families should also have at least one meal together per day, unless there are extenuating circumstances
"You need one, uninterrupted hour to communicate with your family every day. During a meal is the perfect time because everyone is relaxed, which is really conducive to conversation. It's not a stilted, 'Oh, let's have a family meeting' thing,' and you'd be surprised what the kids tell you."
Davis believes parents should "cowboy up" by making rules and sticking to them.
"We are failing in many ways as a culture to fulfill our role as parents," she said. "Parenting is hard. It's easier to just say, 'Oh well. I can't control it. They're going to do what they're going to do.' We need to establish rules with our children at 7 and 8 years old saying 'We're going to solve this issue of respect now because we're not having this discussion when you're 14.' "

A conversation with a friend
Me: "Hmm, it's quite yellow…."
Friend: "Yep, no doubt about that …."
Me: "I mean, it's really really yellow, in your face yellow….."
Friend: "Yes, but it's cute, and your colors can handle it. I could never wear this color myself, my blond complexion could never pull it off."
Me: "And why's that? The way I see it that's exactly what would suit you when you're blond and fair!"
So I guess I'm not the only one having second thoughts about this color, anyway I finally got convinced to keep this jumper, though I've never been a fan of sharp yellows and always preferred the washed out scale. Now, as I've already taken a step outside my comfort-color-zone I'm probably soon gonna break the only "don't" color-mix I have, pairing black and yellow, suddenly I just think it works, and aren't rules made to be broken?
Yesterday's outfit when I headed for Friday drinks followed by dinner at L'Etranger, I wore a denim skirt by Acne, new jumper by Altuzarra, bracelet Cooee, watch Tagheuer, bag and shoes by Celine.

Reebok Gets a Little Dirty With New Commercials (Videos)
Reebok has a new product: Special women's shoes that supposedly make a woman's butt tighter and stronger than normal shoes. Whether the shoes actually work or not is not the problem here, though if they do that's great. The point is the subject of the commercial. The original ones shown recently involved butts talking to each other about how good they looked.
This new one goes a step farther. It features attractive women's chests talking about how they don't get attention anymore. These talking breasts claim that the reason for their fall from grace is how great women's butts look now that women are using the new amazing shoes. Yeah, talking breasts. On a commercial that will be run in prime time. You know who's chest I would love to hear from? Jenn Sterger's. I wonder how those guys feel about the reduction.
Classless? Totally. Gimmick? Definitely. But no matter how you look at it, they are taking a risk with it and you have to respect the effort. The ad definitely works for me. The shoes are a clever new product that are reminiscent of those shoes that make you jump higher they used to market. There's no reason to think these won't work and a bold ad campaign can only help that. It's doubtful this commercial will air for that long without being pulled, but regardless Reebok has some clever, and likely horny, advertising people.

If you thought this was outside the Blackwell (the hotel at Fisher), think again. This is actually an algae farm in Marysville, just outside Columbus! Of course, the algae has been cleaned out and the tents cleaned for the next 'crop'.
Well, when you are at Fisher, there are a lot of things that you are exposed to… and a visit to a next-gen energy company was the high point of this week.
Algae, as we know it, is this mucky green unwanted substance that grows in stagnant waters, spoiling our lakes and other water bodies. These guys take this and convert it to bio-fuel! How cool is that?!
The 2-step process is this:
1. They use a proprietary silica coagulant that forms 'ribbons' from the algae which can then be smoothly removed without any disruption to the lake's bio-system.
2. This is then dried on special driers which then gives us dried algae.
The dried algae can then be processed as a raw material to generate fuel similar to diesel and gasoline!
Now the ramifications of this are beyond the cost and environmental-friendliness.
Think of this situation – What if hundreds of us need to live in the middle of nowhere for months on end, where we need to run machinery and/ or automobiles? Transportation of fuel would be a major logistical nightmare and would add to the cost of the fuel substantially. This is exactly the situation that the army faces all the time. One of the extracted fuels from algae is very similar to the fuel used by the army. So they can now have algae farms at military camps where they can 'grow' their own fuel.
In this never-ending quest for energy, I'm not sure where the battle is headed… But the fuel is definitely headed to the battlefields!

Gold's London AM fix this morning was USD 1,580.75, EUR 1,221.69 and GBP 980.98 per ounce.
Yesterday's AM fix was USD 1,590.00, EUR 1,228.37, and GBP 987.39 per ounce.
Gold rose $3.00 or 0.18% in New York yesterday and closed at $1,594.00/oz. Gold ticked lower in Asia and in Europe and breached yesterday's intraday low of $1,580/oz.
Cross Currency Table - ( Bloomberg)
A close below $1,580/oz could see gold test support at $1,523/oz and $1,533/oz - the lows in December and September 2011 respectively.
Gold fell after shares in Asia were hit by JPMorgan's massive $2 billion loss, political turmoil in the euro zone and also by weak economic data from China. The JP Morgan loss may be higher than $2 billion and could lead to sharper sell offs in markets which could lead to further gold weakness.
However, the JP Morgan loss is gold positive as it shows how little reform there has been of Wall Street and the global financial system which continues to resemble a casino. It also shows that systemic risk remains.
Gold tracked equities lower despite the JP Morgan loss, deepening worries about Europe's debt crisis, Chinese economy concerns and their impact on global economic growth.
Safe haven gold is again showing short term correlation with risk assets, with sell offs seen across risk assets such as equities, industrial metals and oil this week. It seems likely that some more speculative players are again selling gold on the COMEX to cover losses suffered in other markets.
Gold is set to fall by more than 3% this week, the deepest drop since early March, however there are technical and fundamental factors that suggest we may be near an intermediate low.
There has been far less selling of physical bullion this week and indeed a small degree of buying the dip.
In the physical market, weaker prices led to buying from Thailand, Indonesia and also main consumer India. Reuters reports that premiums for gold bars in Singapore edged up to $1.10 to spot London prices from $1.0 quoted on Thursday.
While gold prices have had 11 consecutive years of price gains one would not know it from the lack of popular media coverage (and often unbalanced and uninformed), and lack of participation on behalf of the western public.
Gold in Euros - Daily (1 Year)
However gold is set for a 12th consecutive year of gains as investor demand is likely to be spurred by unfolding eurozone sovereign debt crisis, according to the World Gold Council (WGC).
"We believe this will be the 12th year of a bull run by the end of this year," Marcus Grubb, managing director for investment at the industry funded WGC, told a news briefing.
Gold 'Will Go To $3,000/oz' - David Rosenberg
Highly respected economist and strategist David Rosenberg has told the Financial Times in a video interview (see below) that gold "will go to $3,000 per ounce before this cycle is over."
Markets are repeating the downturns of 2010 and 2011 and it is time to search for safety, David Rosenberg of Gluskin Sheff tells James Mackintosh, the FT Investment Editor.
Rosenberg sees a "very good opportunity in gold" as it has corrected and seems to be "off the radar screen right now".
He sees gold as a currency and says the best way to value gold is in terms of money supply and "currency in circulation."
As the "volume of dollars is going up as we get more quantitative easing" he sees gold at $3,000 per ounce.
Mackintosh says that Rosenberg's view is a "pretty bearish view".
To which Rosenberg responds that it is "bullish view on gold and gold mining stocks." Mackintosh says that it is "bearish on everything else".
Rosenberg says that it is not about being "bullish or bearish," it is about "stating how you view the world" and he warns that the major central banks are all going to print more money and keep real interest rates negative "as far as the eye can see."
This is "critical" as one of the key determinants of the gold price are real short term interest rates.
The longer they stay negative "the longer the bull market in gold is going to be."
Rosenberg sums up that "this is not about being bullish or bearish, it is about how do we make money for our clients."

Every St. Patrick's Day we have a company potluck where we indulge in tasty Irish-themed feast and employees bring something themed to share. From green deviled eggs, to the traditional corned beef and cabbage, we eat like Irish Kings and Queens.
This year, I decided to try out a new recipe: Guinness and Bailey's Irish Cupcakes.
First thought when I saw the title: MMMmmmmmmmm…
The recipe was easy to follow, and the cupcakes turned out better (and fabulously more rich) than I expected. Delicate, moist and oh-so-tasty, this cupcake recipe is going in my "Keeper" file.
Guinness and Bailey's Irish Cupcakes
Servings: Over 8
Cook Time: 60-120 min
- 1 cup stout (Guinness)
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 ½ tsp. baking soda
- 3/4 tsp. salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2/3 cup sour cream
Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line cupcake pans with paper liners. Combine the stout and the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the cocoa powder and whisk until smooth. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the eggs and sour cream to blend. Add the stout/butter mixture and beat just to combine. Mix in the dry ingredients on low speed just until incorporated.
Fill cupcake liners about 2/3 to 3/4 full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 17 minutes. Allow cooling in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
Ingredients for the Bailey's buttercream frosting:
- 8 tbsp. unsalted butter, soft at room temperature
- 3-4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 4-8 tbsp. Bailey's Irish Cream
Blend with mixer until smooth. Refrigerate before frosting cupcakes.

Corporate & Relocation Services
In a busy corporate environment it can, even in the most well staffed of Human Resources departments, be incredibly difficult to co-ordinate the movement of staff from one location to another, be that within the UK or from abroad.
With many years' experience in corporate relocation our staff can assist with everything from helping an employee find their new home using our complimentary Home Search service, to preparing tenancy agreements and representing both employee and employer throughout the tenancy as part of our Tenancy Management service.
Corporate and Relocation Services enables both large and small companies alike to cost effectively out source this specialist work on a tenancy by tenancy basis. Our team of professionals knows and understands the requirements and concerns faced by corporate clients and their employees.
Our Service includes:
Relocation of employees
With different requirements for each staff member we offer a bespoke service to companies from all sectors which include conducting one-to-one consultations discussing processes, costs and locations, co-ordination of visits to the area and ongoing support.
New starters and graduates
Whether graduate or CEO, starting a new job is a daunting prospect, often made worse by the prospect of looking for a new home.
We are already working with blue chip companies in providing rental guides to the UK, conducting presentations to new recruits. Get in touch to see what we can package for your newcomers!
Employee benefits scheme
Our employee benefits package ensures that everyone within your organisation can benefit from our relationship. From letting or selling their home, our services can be listed on your intranet or contained within employee benefit packs.
Short lets
If you find yourself booking serviced apartments or hotels for anything between 1 and 6 months then short term rentals could be a cheaper and more convenient alternative.
Usually offered furnished and inclusive of utility bills, the flexibility of this type of tenancy appeals to numerous business sectors, from production companies to law and finance firms housing their interns and trainees.
