ADVERTISEMENT The baby boy's father was seriously wounded in the attack not far from a Shiite Muslim shrine in the Kadhimiyah neighbourhood of northern Baghdad, police and witnesses said. Tuesday's attack came shortly before US President Barack Obama arrived in the Iraqi capital on a surprise visit. It also came hard on the heels of six car bombings that killed 34 people in mainly Shiite areas of Baghdad on Monday, rocking the capital's fragile peace in what the US military said appeared to be coordinated Al-Qaeda attacks. Eight people were killed and another 20 were wounded in Tuesday's blast, officials at the defence and interior ministries said. The baby, aged about six months, and his parents were in a car stuck in traffic on Nuwab Street, a crowded commercial road leading to the Shiite shrine of Kadhimiyah when the bomb exploded at around midday. "We managed to take him out of the car. He had bruises and was covered with his mother's blood," said Sadiq al-Maliki, a 36-year-old mechanic who helped some of the victims, adding that the mother was definitely dead. "We also put out the fire burning his father's clothes and he was taken to the hospital." A policeman told AFP the father had suffered serious burns and was in critical condition. Raad Sabeeh Razal, who was standing on the street after the explosion, was handed the baby by police and asked to care for him. "The baby was crying, my wife fed him and he is in a good condition. He is now smiling and does not seemed to be shocked," he told AFP in his home near the blast site. "The police don't know his father's name, or their relatives, because all their identity cards were burned," he said, holding the smiling child. "I will take care of him until we find out who his family is. He is a victim." Cars around the blast zone were set ablaze but damage to neighbouring stores and houses was limited. In Fallujah, 50 kilometres (30 miles) west of Baghdad, a suicide bomber detonated his car as a convoy of the head of a tribal group that supports Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki passed by, killing a policeman. Local police said the blast had targeted former Iraqi army colonel Abu Kutaibah and that it also wounded 12 people, including eight police officers. Monday's wave of attacks killed at least 34 people and wounded nearly 140 more, recalling some of the worst post-Saddam violence in the capital. The unrest followed deadly clashes in Baghdad between Iraqi troops and former Sunni insurgents now turned anti-Qaeda militants, following the arrest of their leader on criminal charges. However, the US military has ruled out any involvement in the attacks by disaffected members of the Sunni militias known as Sahwa, and laid the blame on Al-Qaeda in Iraq. Tuesday's attack came shortly before Obama arrived from Turkey on his first visit since taking office three months ago. He met General Ray Odierno, the top US army commander in Iraq, and was also expected to hold talks with his counterpart Jalal Talabani and Maliki and present medals to American soldiers. Security in Iraq has improved dramatically since 2007, when Iraqi and US forces launched offensives against Al-Qaeda with the help of local US-financed and US-trained militias. However, insurgents are still able to strike with deadly consequences. A total of 252 Iraqis were killed in violence in March, almost the same level as the previous month but up from January, when 191 Iraqis died.

I know I am in good spirits when I listen to dance music. On the way to work I clipped my iPod into my car stereo and scrolled to the dance mix. As I drove along I bounced along to the music, occasionally skipping a track that did not fit my mood. Mostly I played older dance tunes, skipping the more electronic. I listen to dance music when I feel it in my toes; and when I listen to dance music I feel it in my toes. I just want to dance.
Earlier in the day I was brushing my teeth with the TV on. I had one of those early morning music programs on, and at the foot of the screen they had today's horoscope scroll by. Mine came on screen, informing me that today was the once in the year opportunity to recreate some fundamental aspect of myself. Woo hoo, I thought, how's that! Great timing after last night, and here I am up for it! I guess that set me off for the day.
I was on the money last night, and it feels better knowing it. No big deal, just have to go forward with that. Ultimately I can't worry about anyone else, only myself. If I do right then I have no reason for disappointment. Build it and they will come? Well, be and the fruits will come your way. Maybe.
In any case afterwards I went out and had some fun, and enjoyed the fruits.

I believe (no, I know) that all children are naturally creative – until we teach it out of them. Children are born with imagination, freedom, and fearlessness. I believe there's something really wrong with an education system that results in LESS creativity as skill and knowledge grow.
- Sam Holland
"The world of reality has its bounds, the world of imagination is boundless." John-Jacques Rousseau
Ask a five-year-old child to use the groups of of two black keys to make a piece about a frog jumping, and the child will transform the black keys into lily pads. In their magical thinking, the piano itself becomes the vessel to their imagination. Given the same assignment at age six, the child will play through a rather elaborate journey, hopping from group to group while narrating the story of the frog, which they have already come to love quite deeply. At seven, the child will count how many times the frog has jumped and may have an organized form to their creation. An eight-year-old will be full of ideas, some of which may be overly ambitious. They may be nervous about trying out these ideas and become easily frustrated. They may soon be ready to try again and want to talk about their ideas with you. At nine, the child will likely claim "That's boring." Having more interest in facts and science, the assignment now seems "babyish" and beneath them.
As children move through the various and necessary stages from magical to concrete and later abstract thinking, the imaginative stage of early childhood must diminish. The journey represented in the above scenarios changes landscape dramatically as it is presented to older, presumably more skilled students; as it evolves from magical lily pads to "boring," creativity appears to deteriorate precipitously. It is important to understand, however, that these changes demonstrate tremendous cognitive growth. When we begin to understand the common characteristics unique to each age, we can better guide children's creativity to flourish and develop in a more substantive way. Consider these follow-ups for each age group, and decide to which age group they belong:
A. Let's take this idea of the frog jumping twice on each group in four different octaves and turn it into a new piece. What are some things you might do to make your piece longer?
B. I especially like your idea to have a smooth underwater section in between two staccato sections. Why don't you try the smooth section right now before tackling the whole piece?
C. Hmmmm…. I wonder….. If the two black keys are lily pads, what do you think the white keys C,D,E might be?
D. Maybe we can make this more interesting by adding some suspense…. How about taking a simple melody on D-flat and E-flat and transposing it to every key going up the chromatic scale? I think that frog would be doomed by the time we finish.
E. I really like your story and your piece. What do you say our new frog friend now goes to visit his pal the slippery snake?
A. age 7, B. age 8, C. age 5, D. age 9, E. age 6
The ages listed above are approximate, naturally, but the characteristics (though but a few) are universal among children, across cultures. Our understanding of the child is key in bridging the creativity gap, not teaching a subject or a curriculum, but the unique individual in that very moment in her/his development. In his book: Emile: On Education, John-Jacques Rousseau states, "Childhood has its own ways of seeing, thinking, and feeling; nothing is more foolish than to try and substitute our ways." Although this treatise on education was written in the mid-eighteenth century, it provides great insight toward a child-focused pedagogy which couldn't be more relevant today (available here ).
Without taking on the education system or current trends in parenting, it is important to digress a little in order to acknowledge observations about the rushed pace of the times we live in and its impact on our children: children are expected to fit into the expectations of the modern classroom, staying seated for long periods of time, having reduced recess periods (if any), and preparing for the rigors of standardized testing. There is pressure to excel in academics, sports and the arts, and we see young children rushed from one after-school activity to another, leaving little time for play. Aside from the agenda put upon this generation from current trends in education and societal pressures, children continue to require the opportunity to experience the real work of childhood: to play. This is a fundamental flaw with our current educational thinking: that the social and physical developmental needs of childhood are not receiving sufficient opportunity to integrate with cognitive development in our rush to teach them what we think they need to know.
One of my favorite Frances Clark quotes is, "Never teach today what you can put off until tomorrow." Children need to assimilate their new discoveries through play, and Frances understood this thoroughly and lived it by example in her teaching. Teachers should always know where their students are in their understanding of a concept: whether they are new in their understanding, growing in their understanding, or have reached mastery. Creative assignments such as composing, improvising, making accompaniments or comping rhythms, and other integrated arts assignments such as drawing, dancing, storytelling are all important and relevant activities, not for the sake of creating itself, but for developing a culture of learning toward achieving mastery.
Sam Holland states a fact: all children are born creative beings. He presents us with an enormous challenge to examine how NOT to teach it out of them. We teachers, in turn, are uniquely suited to the task, not only through the joyful and creative nature of our work, but also through our ability to work with the same child over an extended period of time, spanning many stages of their development. When we recognize there is not one method of teaching, but a method for each student at each stage in their development, we begin to regularly look at our students through a new, more holistic lens, creating an age-appropriate and secure environment in which their creative energy will thrive as their knowledge and skills grow. We can be secure in the knowledge that we are helping them to develop creative habits that will keep curiosity alive, long after they have left the age of magical thinking.
As I leave to pursue the nearest lily pad, here are a few suggested activities by age to get you started. Happy teaching!

"Bushy Brow's Pledge: Undying Love and Protection!" (激まゆプラトニック!僕は死ぬまでアナタを守る!!, Gekimayu Puratonikku! Boku wa Shinu Made Anata o Mamoru!!) is episode 31 of the original Naruto anime.
While hiding under a tree, Sakura tends to Sasuke and Naruto's wounds, even though severely sleep-deprived. Alerted from a daze by a squirrel, Sakura quickly wards it off with a kunai, ignorant to the fact that Team Dosu had sent the squirrel there with an explosive tag on its back. While en route to find a second scroll, Rock Lee stops on a branch, and sets himself the task of catching all the leaves that had fallen, believing that if he did, Sakura would fall in love with him. After catching 19 of the 20 leaves, he spots a squirrel with an explosive tag on its back, and saves it before destroying the explosive tag. Dosu and his squad challenge Sasuke, but Sakura, prepared to defend her comrades, sets off several traps at the enemy shinobi. Unfortunately, Dosu manages to destroy the trap with ease, and shortly after that makes a remark about how Sakura has no right to be a ninja. Just before they could land their attack, however, Rock Lee shows up and knocks the three of them away. Declaring as he made his entrance that he would protect Sakura until he died, Lee uses his brute strength to pull up an underground root to block an incoming attack by Dosu. As the battle ensued, Lee prepared to use the Front Lotus after deeming that it met the criteria that his teacher, Might Guy, told him had to be met in order to use it (to protect the people most precious to him). Lee is then able to catch Dosu and use the technique, but the force of impact is cushioned by Zaku, and Dosu is saved. Unable to move as his body is recuperating from the strain of using the Front Lotus, Dosu incapacitates Lee with his own technique, which he claims is faster than Lee's taijutsu since it works at the speed of sound.
- The task Lee sets for himself is very similar to the game often played to discern whether or not the object of ones affections returned the same feelings.
- When Shikamaru, Ino and Chōji appear after Neji has spotted them, Shikamaru is to the left and Chōji to the right of Ino but after Neji starts to walk off, they change places.

The Art of Falconry represents a milestone in titles on the sport, quite unique in scope, style and content. It presents falconry in theory and in practice, celebrating it as both an art form and a living cultural heritage. Far from being merely another "how to" book, however, it takes the reader into the field with contributions from experts in all branches of the sport, and is lavishly illustrated with stunning photographs and artwork. The first new practical falconry treatise in the French language since the 1940s, this English edition brings a fresh perspective to the English-speaking falconer and is further enhanced through contributions from a number of internationally renowned authorities, including British, American and South African falconers and austringers.

The FHT aims to establish a portal for the world's falconers and other interested parties to access aspects of the sport's rich heritage by linking existing physical archives, including international private and public collections, through the medium of an electronic archive. This archive will feature falconry furniture, works of art, books, correspondence from leading falconers and film and photographic material for the education and interest of falconer and scholar alike. We hope that, whatever your background or interest in our sport, you may find something of value through our archive to deepen your knowledge, understanding and passion for falconry and will help us, through your support, to preserve this precious cultural heritage for future generations.

Shall the voters of the City and County of Denver adopt an ordinance that would make the personal use and possession of psilocybin mushrooms the city's lowest law-enforcement priority? This question will arise as Initiative 301 on the upcoming ballot in the city of Denver on May 7, potentially granting the Mile High City another first in the national wave of decriminalization. But what exactly does this initiative mean, and what are the potential impacts?
Psilocybin mushrooms, better known as magic mushrooms (or simply shrooms), have been a controversial and illegal substance in America since the 1960s. However, they have long existed before the Age of Aquarius; their use has been documented in religious rituals and medicinal purposes dating back to the 16th century.
Known for their hallucinogenic and spirituality-enhancing response in the human brain, popularity of mushrooms grew during the late 1950s, and clinicians worldwide began to study the effects of psilocybin during sessions of psychedelic psychotherapy. With its low toxicity and harm potential, the benefits seemed to outweigh the costs. However, after the infamous War on Drugs hit, psilocybin was classified as a Schedule I drug in 1970, and all clinical trials and testing were halted.
Schedule I drugs are considered illicit drugs that possess no known therapeutic benefit; they are substances with high potential for abuse, not acceptable for medicinal purposes, and there is a heavy discouragement for safe usage under medical supervision. Other Schedule I drugs include heroin and quaaludes, and possession of Schedule I drugs can result in a felony charge.
However, we already know that the Schedule I classification doesn't always hold up to real-life experiences. Cannabis is also still a Schedule I drug on the federal level, even though no one has ever died of a cannabis overdose, and legalization in several states has led to a healthy medical industry and responsible recreational use.
Decriminalize Denver, an organization that has turned more than 8,000 signatures to the City of Denver, feels that mushrooms, like cannabis, are wrongly classified as Schedule I and would like to see their status change eventually.
"When we think about the kinds of things that are actually legal in this country today, products pumped full of sugar, alcoholic beverages, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, we don't think, 'Wow, these things are saving lives,'" said Richard William Guerra, associate publisher of Sensi magazine and a local advocate for mushroom legalization. "These aren't things that are changing the structure of people's mental capacity or making their bodies heal; we think of destruction."
As a psilocybin activist and the associate publisher of a cannabis lifestyle magazine, Guerra is working alongside dozens of individuals within Decriminalize Denver in the push to remove the harsh restrictions on mushroom possession and consumption.
"Being a part of this growing organization that is Sensi, I've been able to work within an organization that is, at its heart, normalizing and de-stigmatizing the use of plant medicine. So, I developed a purpose in that regard," he said.
Guerra does admit that while cannabis has played its part in people being concerned about misuse and illegal trafficking, psilocybin plays a very different role in society.
"The general public just doesn't hear stories or experience situations where psilocybin is the reason for why there is crime, or why somebody is driving erratically and why somebody got killed on the highway. It just isn't a part of those narratives," Guerra said. "For the most part, the general public is not looking to buy a bunch of psilocybin."
Surprisingly, there isn't a ton of pushback from lawmakers or drug antagonists on the notion of decriminalization, and that could be because mushrooms are simply not associated with violent crimes or incidents of assault. Typically, any sort of recoil on the subject is mostly due to a personally negative experience, aka a "bad trip."
"I, personally, was really ignorant to it early on; my intention was to take a lot of it to have a trip and have a good time; that is not so great of a decision for an individual," Guerra said.
"Everybody's affected differently by this plant medicine, and now, all these years later, my wisdom has come to show me that it should be revered, and that we should really just take enough to get to the healing we want."
Healing from psilocybin has been documented and studied over the last 10 years by researchers, and the results of these findings are rather undeniable. They have found that through these psychedelics, activation of serotonin receptors in the brain provide significant relief to sufferers of PTSD, depression, and anxiety.
A study in 2006, led by the National Institute of Drug Abuse, stated that 79 percent of participants reported moderately to greatly increased life satisfaction and a sense of well-being. Although 13 percent reported that dysphoria, an experience of fear, or a "bad trip," existed for the duration of the session, none of them reported lasting negative effects, and not one participant reported having a lasting negative effect on their well-being.
So, where does the fear come from, and why such harsh restrictions and punishments around a hallucinogenic plant? When laws exist, such as regulations and limits, and education around dosage and expectations can be given, can there truly be a downside to lowering the penalties with these magical mushrooms?
"We need to do some research, like we have with cannabis. We should establish a mushroom review panel to assess and report on the effects of this law," Guerra said. "This framework doesn't have selling legalities, so we're not talking about a recreational legal market; it's just in a medicinal setting."
Apart from healing, Guerra also believes that the mushroom movement could offer major benefits to citizens, and society as a whole, by opening up the hearts and minds of individuals through the psychedelic realm in a decriminalized society.
"I think that there's a call and a push for plant medicines and ceremonial psychedelics in general, for more people to have access to that and not be afraid of prosecution," he said. "We can watch people be a lot happier and nicer to each other, understand each other a lot better."
"There would be a whole lot less division and fighting; it's one of those potential lights of hope where so many of us are not really seeing a lot of that. That's the kind of thing we can all agree that needs to happen immediately."
So, shall the voters of the City and County of Denver adopt an ordinance that would make the personal use and possession of psilocybin mushrooms the city's lowest law-enforcement priority? We shall see on May 7.

Review Detail
February 01, 2019
This tightens up Iron Man 2, which was plagued by a rambling story, and a not terribly exciting plot i.e. bad guys want to get Stark-tech, failing which they copy it; bad guys wear armoured suits. This edit is a lot tighter, things move faster, and Vanko is less cartoonish.
This is definitely better than the original, although there is only so much that can be done with the bland plot (see earlier), and the inexplicable gaps in the story (doesn't anyone want to talk about how criminal it was for Stark Sr., genius and SHIELD co-founder, to have Vanko Sr., a Soviet political exile, framed and deported back to Stalinist Russia because of a disagreement? How about the US military using armoured suits, and Stark effectively going back into the arms industry by handing over the War Machine suit? Surely it would be interesting to think about how Vanko Jr.'s (clearly valid) claims that Stark Industry was built on lies, theft, and war profiteering complicate the narrative of bad Whiplash vs good Iron Man?) No fanedit can fix these sorts of issues.
So thanks gain for the work, its a better film than it was, and probably the best version that is possible.

SENSE 2020 Conference Cancelled
We have delayed writing this because we had sincerely hoped for a different outcome. But with the Dutch government restricting in-person meetings and travel until 1 June, and with many countries throughout Europe and the rest of the world adopting similar measures, we are compelled to cancel the SENSE 2020 Conference in its current form.
We are currently negotiating with the hotel for a favourable cancellation deal with a view to holding the SENSE conference there in Maastricht at some future date. We hope you will be part of that.
We will be in touch with you soon to discuss further details.
Keep safe and healthy in these difficult times.

The European Commission's DG Translation (DGT) fulfils an important role as language services provider in the EU's multilingual context, and will continue to do so in the future. As translation technology progresses and the DGT's role and mix of resources change, so the competence profiles of its translation staff will need to be updated.
In this presentation, you will hear about current reflections on new, future-oriented competence profiles for translation staff of the different EU institutions. These will be based both on the current translator profile and on a comprehensive mapping and description of the current and future functions, roles, tasks, competencies and profiles of EU translation staff.
It goes without saying that technological developments – in particular that of machine translation – will require high-level human and linguistic competencies and that the EU institutions will continue to need highly skilled professional translators. For these reasons, the DGT collaborates with a network of MA programmes in Translation (the EMT network) in order to work towards improving the quality of training and helping young graduates to integrate smoothly into the translation job market.

trends affecting language professionals
MS Word is one of the essential tools of our trade and mastering it will give you more time to focus on and enjoy creating beautiful language. But in order to deliver ready-to-use documents, editors and translators often have to tidy up the client's draft first. Tackling this can be a quick-and-easy way to impress, but many language professionals lack the finer points of MS Word, so they pass up this opportunity.
Besides picking up many productivity tips, you'll learn and practise how to tidy up a document by:
If you want to focus on your clients' message rather than on what MS Word does when you're not looking, then this one's for you! Focusing as it does on the practical aspects of tidying up a document rather than on the individual word features, this workshop is ideal for any language professional who wants to use MS Word more efficiently and effectively. Participants should bring their own laptop to the workshop.
Jenny Zonneveld has a business background. Before she became a freelance translator, copywriter, and editor over 20 years ago, she spent more than 15 years at a firm of management consultants and worked in the UK, USA, Belgium, and the Netherlands. At the start of her freelance career Jenny compiled and prepared a series of reports stretching to hundreds of pages and including many tables and images, all in MS Word. In 2002 she developed a two-day hands-on MS Word workshop for SENSE, which was presented several times. From 2004 to 2006 it was offered to translation students as part of the Editing Minor run by SENSE and the ITV School of Interpreters & Translators.
An increasing number of authors are having to write in English as their SL or FL. This places the onus on copy-editors and revisors to improve authors' writing so as to render it accessible to readers. Sometimes, in order to do so optimally, grammar skills need to be honed further. The incorrect or inappropriate use of connectors (either verbal connectors or punctuation marks) is a particularly troublesome aspect of much writing that requires editorial intervention.
This workshop will focus on the devices that can be used in written texts to ensure a smooth flow and logical connections between the parts of sentences, and even between sentences themselves. Skilled use of the appropriate connectors ultimately leads to texts that convey an author's intended meaning most effectively. Such texts are also more accessible to readers.
We will be investigating ways of using (and 'abusing') both verbal connectors – conjunctions, relative pronouns, sentence adverbials – and punctuation marks – in particular the comma, the semicolon, the colon, the dash, parentheses – not only correctly but also to achieve the author's intended effect or meaning.
The participants will 'learn by doing' by engaging with a selection of substandard texts and considering ways of making them flow more smoothly and logically, using any or all of these devices. What will emerge from this workshop is a better grasp of how to use each of these connective devices to best effect.

In 2009 he published a book on common errors committed by writers in English in South Africa (NB Publishers, reprinted 2013); in 2012 he co-authored Text Editing: A Handbook for Students and Practitioners (UA Press) and in 2019, together with Ken McGillivray, wrote and published grammar, punctuation and all that jazz … (MLA Publishers). He contributes regular articles on the usage and abusage of the English language to professional bodies.
This is a short presentation about how to get your name out there, how to use social media for free advertising and how to make sure you attract the right customers. Most entrepreneurs focus only on 'how to get more or better clients'. But before you can get those goals, you need to get your marketing right. The presentation will focus on the use of the big four in social media – IG, FB, LI and Twitter – as well as the best way to get your website to work for you.
As a freelance translator, Anouschka Schutte has more than 24 years of experience in many different fields. Over the years, she has developed into a high-level specialized translator, as well as an editor, proofreader, educator and mentor. She also teaches entrepreneurial skills to translators, and is the administrator of a Facebook community for professional translators (Vertalerskoffiehoek), a member of the Field Committee of the Translation Academy in Maastricht, and a member of the Board of Directors for the Dutch Translating and Interpreting Conference
To ensure the money keeps rolling in, freelance language professionals must keep their skills up to date but also follow changes in the market and in clients' needs. Adjusting the way we run our businesses sometimes means learning new skills and even branching out into new areas. However, as freelancers we are not necessarily well equipped to make such changes on our own, and we must therefore make use of others in our network – be this in the form of a mentor or of sharing with others who are going through the same process.
In this presentation I will share with you how an increase in clients' requests for writing services led me to get interested in medical writing. I will recount how I got in touch with others in this field and helped set up a network for science and medical writers in the Netherlands. Organising and attending events for the network has led not only to new contacts but also several new clients. I've also learned a lot more about using social media platforms. An additional discovery along the way is that many young scientists with language skills are looking to move away from academia and into writing jobs in the Netherlands – a move that may need the support of organisations such as SENSE.
This session will probably be of interest to language professionals – freelance or otherwise – looking to move into new areas. I hope to give you pointers on how you can use your network to explore new options, discover new talents and expand your business. Those interested in learning more about medical writing and the newly formed Netherlands SciMed Writers Network are also very welcome to attend.
Sally Hill studied biology at the universities of Sheffield and Nijmegen. A former research scientist, she works as a freelance medical writer, editor and trainer in scientific writing at Dutch universities. She finds her experience in education sometimes slows down her editing work, though using the comments function to educate her non-student clients about good writing is not necessarily a bad thing. She is a keen networker and helps organise meetings for other Netherlands-based science and medical writers. She's also a contributor to and editor of the SENSE blog.

The translation industry is changing, meaning that aspiring freelancers and recent graduates need new skill sets and different strategies to set up shop properly. If you've ever wondered how recent newcomers to the profession deal with game-changing developments such as PEMT, globalisation, Brexit, GDPR, cloud tools, and the ever-downward pressure on rates, don't miss out on this panel discussion.
The panellists will discuss a broad range of topics, including acquisition, marketing for freelance translators, diversification, standing out from the crowd, and much more. In addition, we will compare today's market with the professional starting point, back then, of the more seasoned translators and editors in the room. Has it really become more difficult to start a successful business nowadays? Or have the technological advances made everything so much easier? Finally, we'll discuss how SENSE members can help their newest colleagues and what new recruits have to offer in return.

Chrislynn Snyder Finds Success in a Male-Dominated Industry
BRYAN, TEXAS (March 12, 2013) – One hundred years ago, more than 5,000 women marched on Washington, D.C. to bring attention to the gross misrepresentation of women in our society. Today, women are heralded as the leaders of tomorrow in education, business and politics. Mr. Electric celebrates March and Women's History Month by recognizing Chrislynn Snyder owner of Mr. Electric of Bryan/ College Station.
Snyder has been the proud owner of Mr. Electric for nearly eight years, achieving both personal and professional goals.
"When we bought the franchise, we utilized the procedures and processes recommended by The Dwyer Group," Snyder said. "Over time, however, we found ourselves slipping away from those tried and true procedures and processes, thinking we could somehow do better. The bottom line, I finally realized, is the system and the Code of Values work."
Snyder, a Marine Corps veteran and Texas A&M alumna, is the 2011 Mr. Electric Franchisee of the Year.
"Chrislynn is a bit of a star," Mr. Electric President Jeff Meyers said. "No matter the situation, she has risen to the challenge. We are proud to have her on our team."
Women, like Snyder, who have embraced the opportunities afforded them and overcome the obstacles, are paving the path for future generations of women to proudly walk.
"Any business is going to have a set of built-in standards and challenges, there will be some good days and some not so good. The key is making up your mind to just get the job done, seek good advice from those with more experience, and then follow through no matter what."
About Mr. Electric®:
Established in 1994, Mr. Electric is a global franchise organization providing electrical installation and repair services. Recognized by Entrepreneur magazine among its "Franchise 500," Mr. Electricfranchisees provide these services to both residential and commercial customers at almost 200 locations worldwide. Mr. Electric is a subsidiary of The Dwyer Group, Inc., family of service franchises. For more information or to find the location nearest you, visit MrElectric.com.
