- A rare example of an early V-8 engine.
- V-8s did not return to the Chevrolet line until 1955.
- It was the longest Chevrolet produced to date with a 120" wheelbase.
Chevrolet automobiles are named after Louis Chevrolet, one of three brothers of Swiss descent who came to America in 1900. Louis first drew public attention and praise in 1905 when, as a mechanic for the Fiat Motor Company of New York, he was sponsored by Fiat in a series of races, including the famous Vanderbilt Cup Race. Louis' brothers, Gaston and Arthur, were also above-average drivers, and Chevrolet became a common name on the racing circuits of 1906-1908.
W.C. Durant, who founded (and subsequently lost) General Motors, hired Louis Chevrolet in 1909 to design an automobile for his new company. Durant decided to call his new automobile Chevrolet, not only to honor the designer, but he thought the name had a musical and romantic sound.
This 1917 Chevrolet is a very rare example of Chevrolet's early attempt to produce an 8-cylinder automobile. The 120 inch wheelbase makes this the longest Chevrolet produced up to today. While Chevrolet records of this era are poor, it is believed only 511 of the V-8 models were produced during 1917. With the close of its first attempt at V-8 production in 1919, Chevrolet concentrated on making 4-cylinder automobiles until it introduced a 6-cylinder engine for the 1929 models. V-8s did not return to the Chevrolet line until 1955, 36 years after they were first tried.

Would it be Silly to Remake the REmake?
One of my favorite fake video gaming terms is "REmake," which specifically points to the 2002 remake of the original Resident Evil, one of the best games on the Nintendo GameCube. It has taken 16 dang years for us to get to a remake of Resident Evil 2, so fans of the series are finding themselves in a unique situation. We're excited for a new remake that is technically a sequel to another remake, that is so old at this point it's its own point of nostalgia, and now people are talking about remaking the REmake, apparently.
In an interview with Game Informer, Resident Evil 2 (the remake) director Kazunori Kadoi spoke exactly to that point. While it's easy to assume it won't be happening anytime soon, he did say "it wouldn't be laughable" to do make such a bizarre move, since so much time has passed. Kinda weird to think about, right?
Kadoi was also asked about Sweet Home, Capcom's Famicom game based on a movie of the same name, that shares DNA with Resident Evil. He said it's impossible to revisit that since the rights are gone, but the rights situation is exactly the reason we have Resident Evil.
Neat, right? If you haven't played it, the Resident Evil remake, or REmake, truly is one of the greats. In fact, you can even pick it up for the PlayStation 4 right now, by itself or as part of the Resident Evil Origins Collection, which also comes with a high-res version of Resident Evil 0.

Nothing beats the fresh produce that becomes available this month, and if you've grown it yourself, so much the better! New potatoes, salad and strawberries – all should be ready to harvest now, so enjoy the fruits of your labours, along with the longer evenings and (hopefully) sunshine!
If time is limited in the garden this month, here are our top ten tips:
1) Water your plants regularly (bedding plants will need it once a day and shrubs, roses and perennials every other day) and feed them with a slow release fertiliser every few months.
2) Prune spring flowering shrubs.
3) Plant roses and remember to feed well with a slow release rose fertiliser.
4) Plant out your bedding.
5) Hoe borders regularly to keep down weeds.
6) Mow lawns at least once a week.
7) Stake tall plants.
8) Harvest lettuce, radish and other salad crops.
9) Harvest strawberries and raspberries.
10) Thin out tree fruits.
If you have a little more time to spare…
If you haven't already, plant up your beds, hanging baskets and containers with summer bedding!
Clip vigorous rock garden plants such as aubrieta and alyssum with shears once the flowers are over, to keep them compact and free-flowering. Remember to water sweet peas and either pick the flowers regularly or remove the seed heads to ensure the plants continue to flower.
Prune spring flowering shrubs to prevent them overgrowing. Some variegated shrubs have a tendency to revert to green, these green shoots grow strongly and can take over the plant – cut them out wherever you see them. Prune deciduous shrubs, cutting out shoots that have just flowered in order to encourage strong new growth for next year.
Don't forget about Roses. We have a fabulous selection in store at Coolings now. Roses appreciate good rich soil, so plant with Coolings Tree and Shrub Compost or well-rotted farmyard manure. We also recommend 'Rootgrow' with friendly mycorrhizal fungi to give your roses a boost throughout their lifetime. After planting, feed through summer with a slow release rose fertilliser such as 'Toprose' or 'David Austin Rose Food' to promote healthy foliage and generous flowering. Remove faded blooms to promote repeat flowering. Plants can be sprayed with 'Rose Clear' to control pest and disease problems should they occur.
Sowing and planting edible crops:
Thin tree fruits to improve fruit size, quality and flavour and to help prevent branches from breaking. Thinning also helps to prevent biennial bearing (heavy crops one year and nothing the next). Protect soft fruits by netting the crop just before it ripens. Pick the fruit when it is slightly under ripe for preserving and freezing, and when fully ripe for eating there and then.
Plant broccoli, french and runner beans, courgettes, sweetcorn and pumpkins, as well as outdoor tomatoes, and continue sowing salad crops such as lettuce and radishes. Carefully hand weed around onions, or the smell of damaged roots will attract onion fly. Liquid feed them, if desired.
Strawberries should start to come thick and fast now – remember to water regularly, especially if in a pot, and feed weekly with a high potash liquid fertiliser. Watch out for birds who love the fruit as much as we do, best to cover plants with netting to keep them at bay.
Sow all biennials for next year (if not already done). Continue successful planting of gladioli.
Brassicas: calabrese, spring cabbage and kale.
Roots: radishes, carrots, first potatoes from outside, baby beetroot, autumn-sown onion sets and garlic.
Salad: Salad leaves, pea tips, all lettuce.
Edible flowers: borage, marigolds.
Leafy greens: chard, perpetual spinach.
Legumes: first peas, broad beans.
Squash: first outdoor courgettes and their flowers.
Herbs: all – cut perennials (eg. chives, lovage, mint, fennel) to the ground to get fresh, tender, strong-tasting leaves in a few weeks' time.
Fruit: rhubarb, strawberries, cherries, redcurrants, pick and prune blackcurrants.
In flower:
Bulbs: lilies, alliums.
Hardy annuals: all autumn-sown (including sweet peas), first spring-sown.
Biennials: most still in full flower.
Perennials: peonies, penstemons, Euphorbia, English garden pinks, alstroemerias.
Shrubs & trees: roses, philadelphus, viburnum opulus.
Seasonal produce
Don't forget the Keep it Local Food & Produce Market runs at Coolings on every fourth Saturday of the month from 9am – 1pm. You will find stalls selling fresh, seasonal, locally sourced or made foods. Tip top fresh meat, fish, bread and cakes, fruit and vegetables grown for flavour rather than volume, juicy jams and chutneys and varieties of locally brewed beers. We look forward to their next visit on 22nd June 2019.
Summer bedding plants are easy to grow and care for. They look good grown in hanging baskets and pots, and also work in borders either to fill gaps or grown together for a colourful display. Simple displays often make more of an impact than complicated planting recipes. Follow these simple tips to make the most of your bedding plants, and keeping them in flower all summer…
1) Choose the right spot
Have a specific site in mind when choosing your bedding plants as this will play a big part in their survival. For sunny spots you will want to choose plants that thrive in the heat like osteospermums, marigolds, petunias and pelargoniums etc. Busy lizzies, fuchsias and many foliage plants will perform well in shade.
Trailing Petunias 'Alpetunia' - you may recognise these as we had them planted up along the entrance to our shop last summer (2018).
2) Water, water, water your plants!
All recently planted plants – especially bedding – and plants in containers and baskets will appreciate a good soak every day. Use collected rainwater where possible (we have two massive reservoirs on site here at Coolings that are filled with rainwater we have harvested on site but if you don't have a reservoir(!) then a water butt could be a good start!
Alternatively, have you ever considered installing an irrigation system to do all the work for you? It will save you hours of watering every day, they are easy to install, delivers water exactly where it's needed and complies with water restrictions. The best bit is that we can install this for you too!
3) Give them a good feed
Most composts for containers and baskets contain limited amounts of food. Within several weeks of planting, fast-growing, hungry bedding plants will have used most of the goodness in the compost. So, we recommend you add more nutrients to improve your plants' flowering performance and encourage stronger growth. A regular meal every month to keep them growing well should do the trick, we recommend Miracle Gro plant food or a slow release plant food such as Osmocote Plant Food (for beds) and Osmocote Plant Food Tablets (for baskets and tubs). As you water your pots from above, the resin coating of the granules slowly dissolves to release feed into the surrounding compost. This is a gradual process because the granules are designed to release fertiliser slowly over many months and will assist/reduce the need for watering during the season.
4) Deadhead spent flowers
Pick off old flower heads as soon as they fade to stop your bedding plants wasting energy producing seeds. Some varieties of fuchsia, scaevola and other bedding look after themselves, dropping their old petals to keep displays looking clean. Just shake the basket or pot, or brush lightly over the plants to keep them tidy. Plants such as pelargoniums and petunias will require a more hands-on approach, so pinch off spent flowers.
It's a good time to spruce up your garden furniture ready for Summer BBQs and entertaining. If like me, your BBQ is in need of a very good clean and your furniture could do with a wash down/varnish – now's the time to do it!
Keep on top of weeds by hoeing regularly in dry conditions. June 21st is the longest day of 2019, and the extra light and warmth encourages the garden to have a growth spurt.
Stake tall perennials to prevent wind damage to flower spikes.
Train and tie in Sweet Peas to supports to encourage them to climb for a good display.
Once new plantings have established, you can start to sock new fish ponds with fish. Start stocking and feeding when the water is warm. Continue to remove blanketweed from ponds by twirling it around on a stick.
Trim hedges frequently to allow wildlife to shelter and feed.
Keep your birdbaths topped up.
Don't worry too much if your lawn begins to look a little faded and dry – it will soon recover when any summer showers occur and, if they don't happen, grass will usually survive until the autumn rains anyway. Save any water for plants that need it more. Only new lawns need to be watered, as newly laid turf will shrink if allowed to dry out.
Move garden furniture and children's outdoor toys (in our house it's the dreaded trampoline that causes issues!) regularly to prevent the grass drying out underneath.
Don't forget to feed your lawn with lawn food for a boost such as Scotts Miracle-Gro Lawn Feed (1kg).
Continue watering everything regularly this month. Greenhouse crops such as cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers will suffer very quickly if starved of liquid, and irregular watering of tomatoes will cause the fruits to split as they swell. Keep pinching out the side shoots and tops of tomato plants, to avoid too many branches.
As the summer temperatures rise, dampen down greenhouse floors and surfaces to keep humidity high and help deter red spider mite and mildew disease. You may also want to shade your greenhouse to keep them cool and prevent scorch.

Armenia: beginning of dialogue between opposition and government
On 18 and 26 July, talks were held between the government and the main opposition force, the Armenian National Congress (ANC), whose leader is the former President Levon Ter-Petrossian ( held office between 1991 and 1998). The 'ruling camp's' decision to initiate the dialogue was forced by the country's ongoing internal crisis (economic problems, large-scale immigration) and the social discontent which has been rising for months; the latest sign of the latter was the recent series of demonstrations organised by the ANC, which assembled tens of thousands of participants.
It became possible to start the talks after the ruling coalition met the ANC's demands; these concerned the release of political prisoners, permission to demonstrate on the symbolic Freedom Square in Yerevan, and an investigation into the brutal breakup in March 2008 of demonstrations against the falsification – as the opposition claims – of the presidential election. The negotiations will concern the holding of early presidential and parliamentary elections. Details of the talks will be announced at a demonstration on 2 August. These concessions by the ruling coalition seem to be attempts to improve its image and weaken their rivals' political importance. The ANC's criticisms concerned the rule of law and civil liberties; by meeting these demands, the 'ruling camp' has deprived the ANC of its arguments and taken over their democratic rhetoric. The resumption of the dialogue shows that the government is aware of losing public support and the growing importance of the ANC. <zrok>

Why should I use Pinterest for my brand?
It's no secret that Pinterest is becoming one of the most powerful social networking sites of today. The bottom line is that most of us exist in a high-speed world in which we are bombarded with messages every day. If it's true that a picture is worth a thousand words, why not make use of a captive audience that's already looking for these pictures? Pinterest is a way to ensure that consumers are receiving your brand's messages and personality, seeing your products, and even spreading them to their friends.

Dobango is a social media and engagement company based in Sunnyvale, California. We specialize in marketing solutions for social media sites, social gaming, and other customized solutions.
How do PinAds work?
PinAds connects Advertisers who want to publish consumer-sponsored ads on Pinterest to Influencers who want to get paid to publish them. When an Advertiser creates a new PinAd, we distribute the ad among several Influencers within a selected performance bracket (Influencer Index Rating) and they publish it to their Pinterest boards, depending on level of interest in the ad.

After the PinAd has been published, PinAds by Dobango tracks clicks and other engagements on the ad, helping you measure ROI and see progress with your brand's online marketing program.

How much do you charge per PinAd?
Each Influencer Index Rating for PinAds has a different price per click based on demand. Our dynamic pricing engine will tell you the current price per Index Rating as you create your PinAd. Top rated Influencers begin at $1.00 per click, and the price drops from there.
What PinAds usually work best?
The best PinAds blend into regular Pinterest content, adding value and richness to the community. Vivid pictures that highlight the most aesthetic part of a product or service tend to do best. Going a step beyond that, create content that encourages your users to click on your PinAd to learn more about what you're promoting. Whether it be a recipe, DIY beauty tips, or gardening tools, be sure use your PinAd to add value to the viewers' lives. To learn more about size specifications and best practices, please watch our video on creating new PinAd.
Will I get in trouble with Pinterest for posting PinAds?
As long as you're posting PinAds that you are genuinely interested in and don't overdo it, no, you won't get in trouble with Pinterest.
How much money will I make?
Well, it all depends on how many PinAds you post. The more categories and boards you allow us to post PinAds on, the more PinAd approval requests you'll receive, which will increase your chances of making more money. As for fee splitting and revenue, PinAds is proud to offer a traditional 40/60 split for Influencers. That means that after fees and other expenses, you earn 60% of the income from each PinAd you help us post, and we earn 40%. Stick with us in the long run and you're guaranteed to make buckets of money off of your Pinterest presence!
How does publishing PinAds work?
PinAds allows Influencers to set up their profiles in a way that gives them full control over the PinAds they are sent. Influencers can decide what ad categories they want to allow, which boards they will allow PinAds to be published on, and even set limits for how many ads we send per day.
When a new PinAd is created that falls within your preferences, we send you an email to request for you to log in to review the PinAd. If you like the PinAd and would like to post it, follow the instructions in the details of the PinAd by posting the image, description, and link exactly as shown. When you are finished posting your PinAd, be sure to post the URL of that pin into the details and save it, so that we can track the engagement on the PinAd and credit you for clicks earned.
I received an email saying that I need to re-enter my Pinterest credentials. Why is this?
We send out this email in the event that our engine is unable to validate your Pinterest information. This is usually caused by either entering the wrong password, Pinterest login email, or username. Additionally, in the username entry field, please enter your username only, without the URL. We add the URL for you, so that you only have to input your Pinterest ID. For more information on setting up your Pinterest account with PinAds, watch our Account Setup guide.
I'm having problems getting paid. What's going on?
Before you can get paid, you must do the following – earn $100 or more on your PinAds account, upload a W-9 or W-8BEN in the payment center, and enter your PayPal ID in the Payment Center. Once you upload your W-9 or W-8BEN, we will review it and either approve it or send it back to you for small fixes. When you request a payment, our support team reviews it and then sends your payment to the address you indicated in the PayPal ID field of the Payment Center. Because this is done manually, you may have to wait up to 72 hours to complete the process.
How do I create a new PinAd?
From the PinAds Dashboard, select the Create a New PinAd button, then follow the steps as prompted by the New PinAd wizard to publish your new ad. To learn more about new PinAds, check out our New PinAd guide.
My promotion is for a specific time period. Can I limit the timing on my PinAd?
Yes, you can limit the timing on a PinAd. Just select an End Date in Step 2 of the New PinAd wizard. However, please note that if your PinAd reaches its End Date before it reaches its goal, we cannot give you a refund.
Why does PinAds only offer CPC advertising?
At this time, it's a little difficult to establish a stable method of measuring impressions on Pinterest. When you advertise with PinAds, you are getting free impressions too, but we can't quite quantify how much. For that reason, we're only offering pay-per-click pricing for now.
Can I choose the Influencers who post my PinAd?
While we cannot allow complete cherry-picking of Influencers for PinAds, you can choose what caliber of Influencers your PinAd will be distributed to. We have created the Influencer Index Rating, which brackets Influencers by number of followers and average engagement received on each PinAd.
My PinAd's budget expired a lot more quickly than I thought it would. Why is this?
Based on the number of categories you select, your PinAd is getting sent out to dozens of influencers who have tens of thousands of followers. The result is that a lot of people see and click on your PinAd within a short period of time. If you'd like to expose your PinAd over a longer period of time, we suggest choosing fewer Pinterest categories for your PinAd, and/or scheduling your PinAd in multiple installments for the period you'd like to have it on Pinterest.
I want to use my website's Google Analytics to see how PinAds is affecting my web traffic. How do I do this?
We're working on custom tags for Google Analytics, but in the mean time, we suggest that you create a custom destination URL for your PinAds. For example, instead of simply linking your PinAd to www.myawesomebusiness.com, have your developers create a duplicate of this page with a custom tag at the end of the URL, such as www.myawesomebusiness.com/referID=7119. With this custom URL, you'll be able to show customers the same content, but see who's landing on that page and what their behavior is like as a result of your PinAd.
What is the Content Manager?
With our unique Content Manager, you can view your pins, edit them, and even upload or schedule new ones. You can also do the same with your boards, in addition to seeing basic stats like number of pins, comments, followers, and more. To access the Content Manager, just hit the Content tab in your main dashboard and select from the Pins or Boards subsections.
How do I create or edit a new pin?
In the Content Manager, click the New Pin button and fill out the information in the New Pin wizard. To edit an existing pin, hover your cursor over the pin and select "Edit" then edit the desired content.
How do I schedule a pin?
Use the New Pin wizard to create your pin, then select the "Schedule for later" option and choose your time and date.
How do I create or edit a board?
To create a new board, navigate to the Content Manager, click Boards, then click New Board and fill in the information for your new board. To edit an existing board, hover your cursor over the board, then click Edit.
About Contests
Want to run a scalable, fully automated campaign on Pinterest? You're in the right place. Dobango's solution provides for contests that will bring your consumer engagement level to new heights. These contests have also been shown to increase following, product trial and sales in the long run.
Contests are an excellent way to drive user engagement, increase your following, and spread your message across Pinterest. Giving consumers an incentive to participate with your brand does more than capture their attention - it helps create reliable buzz about your business that only word-of-mouth can give you. It is important that you provide as much content and information as possible to ensure the success of your Pinterest contest. To learn more about how to set up your contest, please watch our New Contest guide.
Where will my customers and audience be able to see my contest?
When you create a contest, PinAds automatically generates a contest landing page for your viewers to visit to enter your contest. The URL for that contest page is provided in the New Contest wizard.
Your brand's Pinterest contest will live on Pinterest, of course, however there is also an external landing site that participants need to visit in order to enter the contest. This contest page serves as both the site of entry to the contest and also provides the opportunity for additional marketing and information about your campaign. When you preview the contest's look and feel in the contest creation wizard, you'll be able to see the destination URL of the page.
If you'd like to learn more about white labeling, hosting on your brand's site, and additional customization options, please email us.
Once on the contest landing page, how will my audience enter in my contest?
On your contest landing page, there is a green Enter the Contest button. Users can hit this button to pull up the entry form, where they can enter their photo in your Pinterest contest.
How do I create a new contest?
To get started, visit the Contest tab of your dashboard. In the Manage Contest subpage, click Add a Contest to open the wizard.
About Prizes
You can select daily prizes, weekly prizes, a grand prize, or all three for your contest. Note that if you choose both, no daily prize is awarded on the final day of your contest. Only a weekly prize is awarded on the end of the week for your contest, and only a grand prize is awarded on the final day of the contest. In general, we recommend that your daily prizes are a smaller value just to get a "bite" from contest participants, whereas grand prizes are generally much bigger and more alluring. You as the contest sponsor are responsible for sending contest prizes to your winners. Apart from sending your automated emails, Dobango accepts no liability or responsibility for communicating with your contest participants and winners.
Winner Criteria - Sweepstakes vs. Voting
Select between two different contest types – sweepstakes or competitive voting. If you select sweepstakes for your prizes, a random winner will be selected for the prize. No random winner will be selected twice, however a random winner of a daily or weekly prize can be selected for a grand prize. The same rules apply for voting criteria, except winners will be chosen based on which entry gains the most "likes" on their entry on Pinterest. Competitive voting tends to foster sharing via social media and virality more than sweepstakes do.
Someone entered something inappropriate in my contest. How do I remove it?
In the Contests Manager, click Contest Engagement. Here you can disqualify users who have entered in appropriate content. Please note that this cannot be undone!
I want to create a contest using different format, such as a repin to win, brand-inspired board, or a custom landing page. Can Dobango do this?
Yes, we do have capabilities surrounding additional Pinterest contest formats. We'd love to hear your idea and work with you to make your contest idea a reality. Please contact us to learn more about options for custom contests.
About Automated Emails
Users in your contest will receive an email for each time they enter the contest, win a daily prize, a weekly prize and a grand prize. Be sure to write informative, useful email content for each. If you are planning to ship prizes to your winners, be sure to ask in the winner emails that they email you with their mailing address so they can get their prize. All winner emails are copied to the brand manager's email provided in the email setup page.
Why do I need to write contest terms of service?
Be sure to write out terms of service to cover your behind in case of a dispute arising from your contest. Your terms can cover everything from the contest period to how long you have to send people prizes after the contest closes. If you don't have a lawyer to help you prepare your contest terms of service, you can use one of our standard terms of service documents as a guide to writing your own.
About the Contest Banner Image
The banner image is the first thing people see when they visit your contest landing site, so be sure to make it both attention-grabbing and informative! Design one of your own and upload it in the contest details section of the contest creation part of the site. The banner image will also be used as a header in your contest emails.
What's the Contest Description?
The contest description lives at the top of your contest landing page. It gives your contest participants some background on what the contest is all about and how they can participate. Be sure to include any specific rules or calls to action that you want participants to be aware of.
About the Entry Form and Virality
The entry form is a simple form that contest participants use to join in the contest. It asks for the user's name, Pinterest ID (optional), email address, contest entry description, and file upload (3 MB max). Additionally, users must check a box to agree to your terms of service before they submit their entry.
Pinterest contests powered by Dobango have a way of naturally spreading across Pinterest and other social media platforms. After a contest participant hits the "submit" button, a window appears that asks the user to follow your brand on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. There is also the option for the user to share the contest on their own Facebook or Twitter in order to gain more votes from their friends. This creates a naturally viral aspect of the contest, spreading the word about your brand across social media.
What's the live entry feed?
This is a feed on your contest landing page that automatically shows who's entering your contest and when.
What's the leaderboard?
This is an automatic feed on your contest landing page that shows contest standings by displaying who's entries are in first through eighth places based on the number of likes they have received thus far.
Daily Winners and Prizes display
The daily and grand prize winner table is yet another automatic function of the contest landing site. This table shows your contest prizes by day in addition to who's winning them.
Submissions Section
This section of the contest landing page is a simple gallery of entries. Each thumbnail links to the appropriate pin on Pinterest.
About Analytics and Monitoring
The analytics portion of our suite reports insights and also allows you to compare variables that are meaningful to your Pinterest influence. In the Raw Data section, you can view numbers of likes, comments, repins, followers, and more. In the Insights section, you can compare numbers and variables from the Raw Data section.
Can I save data from my Analytics?
Yes! To save your engagement data and analytics, simply hit the Export button to download a .CSV of your data.
How do I measure ROI with PinAds?
There are a couple of ways you can measure return on investment with PinAds. Using the Analytics tools, you can track different types of engagement based on what is important to you. Using these numbers, you can calculate your return on investment for each engagement point. You can also measure more directly on a per-PinAd basis on the Performance page of the PinAds section of the site.

If you are a people person who wants to make a difference in people's lives, perhaps you might consider working as an Occupational Therapist!
By Amy Vandervegt, OT
I didn't know what Occupational Therapy (OT) was until my very last months of High School. Originally, I wanted to be a Primary School Teacher. I wanted to do something that made a difference to people's lives, was different every day, and did not have me stuck at a desk. My Dad sustained a back injury when I was 5 months old, and I remember going with him to his Physiotherapy sessions as part of his ongoing treatment. My Mum told me that Dad also received OT very early on, and recommended this as something to study at university. I decided I would give it a go which turned out to be a good choice!
OT is such a broad and varied career. We work with individuals from all population groups, who have many different kinds of disabilities and needs. It is very holistic, incorporating both mind and body. It is also very person-centred in that it involves getting to know people, understanding what their needs, strengths and interests are, and looking at how they interact in their natural environments. I studied the four-year degree at Southern Cross University on the Gold Coast. I also did six months of primary education in between, but decided to stick with OT.
I have been able to use my qualifications to get a few different jobs. My first job was working at Community Mental Health, although this was a Case Management role and did not utilise my OT-specific skills. I then worked as an OT in an Early Childhood Intervention Centre. This involved working with young children from zero to eight years with a variety of disabilities including physical, intellectual, sensory and/or developmental delays. My current role is working with Flourish Australia as an OT at the Dubbo and Bathurst Sub-Acute Mental Health Units, taking turns to cover each unit week-about.
"Occupational Therapists ask 'What matters to you?' not 'What's the matter with you?'"
-Ginny Stoffel (AOTA President)
One of the main components of OT is assessing a person's day-to-day functioning and exploring different skills or strategies that a person could use for them to be as independent as possible. As an example, if a person has experienced a stroke that has resulted in weakness down one side of the body, an OT could explore different ways to do day-to-day tasks such as cooking or hanging out washing that requires the use of both arms. Another main component of OT is determining a person's sensory preferences.
In my current role, I invite people who access the service to explore my sensory kit which includes things like blankets, heat packs, scented candles, slimy goo, and other items that stimulate certain senses. This gives people the opportunity to identify what items make them feel calm or alert, which can help in regulating their emotions, and changing their mood in a helpful way.
OTs are trained to be strengths-based. We look at what the person CAN do. We do this by getting to know the person through conversation as well as observation. For example, we might observe a person doing an everyday task, such as cooking, and use this to not only identify any areas of improvement, but also hone in on what they are good at. Sometimes we have to help people find alternative ways of doing things. Sometimes we even need to find alternatives to those alternatives! There is a lot of scope for creativity in OT, which involves a lot thinking outside the box! In the end, of course, all we do is recommend things to people for them to take on board if they wish.
OT in Mental Health
In the Sub-Acute Units, we have an OT group that look at the four domains of daily activities: Self-Care, Rest, Leisure and Productivity. This group looks at how to find a balance between these domains, as this is very important in maintaining our physical and mental health. The group also highlights that, the activities we choose to do, need to be meaningful and important to us.
One of the issues that we see quite frequently for people accessing the service is poor coping skills. This might be in the form of substance abuse, self-harming, or other impulsive behaviours. Sometimes this is due to people not fully understanding their emotions, including why they feel the way they do, and how to appropriately express these emotions. It is important to find more appropriate ways of coping with stress and strong emotions. Sleep is also often a big problem for people experiencing a decline in their mental health. So many people have poor quality sleep so we also run groups on sleep hygiene, and hold evening mediation or relaxation sessions before bed.
I really love the work that I do, and enjoy seeing the difference that OT can make in improving a person's quality of life.
Thanks also to Sheree Masling and Jenny Craig

I was told about this company called Mattermark a month or so ago. Thank you Stacey Bishop for introducing me to this tool. (Stacey is a board member of HubSpot and works at Scale Ventures.
Well, it was love at first sight...
I have been in a trial of Mattermark for about a month and really love what I am seeing. The tool seems like it was started as a way for VCs and investors to analyze companies to see if they should invest in them. I have always been a fan of following funding rounds for my job here at HubSpot, so naturally I wanted to see what this cool piece of software could help me to do.
I am not going to talk about all the awesome features it has. I want to focus on one thing that saves me time as a sales rep.
When you search a company name in Mattermark you are taken to a page that looks like this:
The red line that I drew right there is highlighting the feature that I want to talk about in this post. It is the social links. At HubSpot I cover the silicon valley area. I work mostly with tech, SaaS and software companies. Most of the companies that I work with or want to work with are fast growing and have investment from VCs at some point. I use "trigger events" in my sales process to reach out to companies at the potential right time.
If you click on the social links section of the Mattermark profile of a company you will see this:
These are hyperlinked to the company's social pages that I would have looked up on my own if I didn't have this tool. This saves me time. The more time I can save in administrative things like this, the more time I have to actually prospect and do my job. To make the $$$.
When I decide to work a company (start to prospect a company) I will follow them on these tools:
- Google alerts: I setup a Google alert for the company name and sometimes for the person's name that I am following.
- Twitter lists: I follow their company on Twitter and sometimes the people in the company that I am prospecting. I have private twitter lists on Twitter that I add the companies I decide to work. That way I can use HubSpot social monitoring tools to follow them.
- LinkedIn: I follow the company and save the people that I want to work on Linkedin Sales Navigator.
- Angel List: I follow the company on Angel List as well.
- Crunchbase: I follow the company on Crunchbase.
I do these things every single time I decide to work a company. These little administrative things will help me to do my job better in the future (without much work). Just following your leads on those places will enable you to get timely updates from the companies that you are prospecting. The updates from these kinds of tools will enable you to reach out to the companies that you are prospecting in a more timely and relevant manner.
You don't really have to do any work, the updates will just start coming to you.
Just like that you are a little bit smarter than other sales reps reaching out to the same companies.
You have set yourself apart from the rest of the sales reps out there.

A chap who shares part of my name has posted on SOLO about the Maori Party's attempt to place criminal gang members on the same level as Jews in Germany in the 1930s.
The Maori Party has had a free run, because of the rather vacuous notion that it is difficult to criticise a party that attempts to define itself as being of a people rather than a philosophy. Except it IS a philosophy. It is nationalism, collectivism and with the possible exception of Pita Sharples on a good day, morally dubious. It has a highly privileged position in having part of Parliament defined on the same basis as it defines itself.
Having said that, who doubts that, if he believes he needs to, John Key will sell out his principles and policies to the Maori Party for power. Actually sorry he wont do that anymore than I can sell out my ownership of the Isle of Man.

Before you ask us to turn off CT logging for your account, make sure you understand the importance of logging SSL/TLS certificates to public CT logs and the consequences of keeping certificates out of these logs. See Keeping SSL/TLS Certificates Out of Public CT Logs.
Ideally, you should dedicate an entire account to ordering certificates you want kept out of public CT logs. You can then use multiple accounts to manage logged and not logged SSL/TLS certificates.
We don't recommend doing this if you only have a single account. This set up doesn't provide a good workflow for issuing a certificate to CT logs when the time comes.
If CT logging is turned off for your only account, the only way to log an SSL/TLS certificate into the CT logs is to contact your Sales/Account representative and have them turn CT logging back on for your account. Only then can you reissue/renew the certificate, allow it to be logged to public CT logs, and then install it.
To turn CT logging off for your account, contact your Sales/Account representative.

Product Code:ML FMTHY
Like a multivitamin for your thyroid! Essential nutrients blended with a score of thyroid balancing herbs to get you out of the rough and back on the fairway - for driven success that is sliced straight up the green.
- Quantity Available: 10+
This product helps to:• Promote weight loss
• Boost energy
• Eliminate fatigue
• Increase mood
Other Ingredients: Vegetable Cellulose (Capsule), Rice Flour
Is M'lis Thyroid only to use for thyroid support?No. This "Thyroid" supplement is actually designed for complete endocrine system nutritional support, not just the thyroid. Often times people get confused and think that only one part of their body needs support when, in fact, the whole system needs support.
What is the endocrine system?The endocrine system is a group of glands that produce and regulate hormones. They influence and regulate the metabolism, growth, sex function, sleep, and mood.
Is M'lis Thyroid safe for cancer patients?Yes, after being in remission for at least 2 years.
Is M'lis Thyroid safe to take with Synthroid?Yes, it is 100% safe. This Thyroid supplement nutritionally supports your body's endocrine functions, it is not intended as a replacement for any prescription. Always consult your physician regarding any prescription medications.
Does M'lis Thyroid contain any hormones?No. Thyroid does not replace or supplant any hormones your body naturally produces. There are many other supplements in the marketplace and we feel they are potentially dangerous. M'lis Thyroid contains organic herbs that support optimal endocrine function to maximize what your body can do on it's own.
Is M'lis Thyroid safe to take during and after menopause?Yes. Our herbal blend is designed to support optimal endocrine function, not replace any hormones.
Are there any supplements I should avoid taking with M'lis Thyroid?Yes. We recommend avoiding any and all types of soy, as it's highly phytoestrogenic and can affect the way your body utilizes hormones.
Will M'lis Thyroid help me lose weight?As a stand alone, no. It may help your body find its "normal weight" in conjunction with healthy eating and regular exercise. Consult with your M'lis Wellness Consultant for a complete plan to help you find your healthy body composition.
Is there an optimal time of day to supplement with M'lis Thyroid?Yes. It's best to take Thyroid first thing in the morning to allow optimal absorption of the naturally occurring iodine in the bladderwrack and kelp.
What other considerations should I make when naturally supplementing with M'lis Thyroid?Your body can absorb other types of halogens other than iodine, such as: fluoride, chlorine, and bromine. However, only iodine is beneficial for proper endocrine function. For this, we recommend avoiding consumption of these other types of halogens.
Take one capsule, one to three times daily for a perfectly pure and natural approach to hyper and hypo-thyroid issues without hormones or stimulants.

More than Food!
While stocking up on fresh, local produce is a great motivator for a market visit, don't forget that our vendors have more than just food! Whether you are looking for fresh flowers to spruce up your home or beautiful handmade products, there's definitely a lot offered each and every week.
We recommend checking out our Pinterest site!
While we wait out the winter, we can at least dream about the Spring and Summer.
Family Friendly Fun!
Flowers of Happiness
Winter Blues Begone!
Your Morgantown Farmers Market is still open during the Winter!
Our next Market is on December 1, 2012 at the Wesley United Methodist Church from 11AM-2PM. Not sure what is seasonally available? These are some of the products that you can still find!
Winter is Coming…
Thanks to all of our loyal customers for making our Summer Season absolutely fantastic!!!
Yesterday, November 17, 2012, from 11AM-2PM was our first Winter Market for the season, for which we have moved indoors. We are now at a new fabulous location in the gymnasium of the Wesley United Methodist Church on the corner of North High and Willey Street. The people at the Church have been extremely generous in letting us use their great space! It is much larger than our old Winter Market space, which means more vendors have the option to attend with more products. There is also more area for our lovely customers to bring their families and friends with them!
(Please note that your dogs and other pets are only welcome at the Summer Market)
This weekend we had lots of vendors show up with all sorts of products for Thanksgiving, including sweet potatoes, stuffing, and turkey! Our non-profit was Bunny Feathers, a local rabbit rescue that is dedicated to learning & sharing knowledge on the care of these small companions in the Morgantown, WV area. The Morgantown Farmers Market was also lucky to have have The Short Brothers come and play for us this weekend. Their music always adds to the atmosphere at the Market, making it a most amazing place to be! If you have not heard this group yet, I strongly encourage you taking a few minutes to listen to their tunes.
I hope to see all of our customers joining us for the next Winter Market on December 1st. We will have a special Christmas Corner at the Market hosted by Hopping Acres, The Sheepherders Kitchen, Evans Knob Farm, Green Glades Creamery, and Two Cousins Soap.
Dogs of the Market
We have an open air Market, so well-behaved dogs are welcome!
Check out our Pooch Policy for details.
Market Verbage
Ends and beginnings - there are no such things. There are only middles. — Robert Frost "In the Home Stretch"
The middle of a story is the best place to begin.
This is the story of the Morgantown Farmers Market in Morgantown, WV. It began 11 years ago at the Seneca Center with a few vendors and some community-based & WVU Davis College support. To those that originally decided to come together and start a Market - MORGANTOWN THANKS YOU.
Since the beginning, the Market has gone through a number of changes and varied locations. It has faced adversity and tension on numerous sides. However, the Market has lived on and now has more than 30 vendors that come together every Saturday from the first weekend in May through the first weekend in November to create a sought out community event.
In a few weeks, our Market will finally have an official home in Morgantown in the form of an actual set structure. The Morgantown Market Place will allow the Morgantown Farmers' Market to have a permanent presence in Downtown Morgantown. During the week the pavilion will be used for parking, but on Saturday mornings it will be bustling with customers hunting for their favorite produce and vendors. As more and more of the Morgantown Market Place goes up, it is becoming harder to contain our excitement. However, this project has been five years in the making, so we can wait a few more weeks, but with child-like anticipation assuredly.
As this story does not have a real beginning nor hopefully ever an ending, please support the Morgantown Farmers Market on our continuous journey.
I hope you enjoy our photos and updates.
~The Morgantown Farmers' Market Manager~

We are wired to care, wired for connection. The human baby flourishes with care and regardless of age or wisdom, we thrive on care. How we show care matters; it might be the difference we make in someone's day. As you step into a small retail store or cafe, saying "hello! how are you doing?" might seem trivial. Quite to the contrary, it's in these small moments that we show our humanity. Next time, stop and say hi and build a little connection with the employee standing in the store. Be the odd person who asks "how was your day?" in the lift. There is magic in these small moments.
The importance of failure, f*ckups and errors
Our conversation about failure needs to be reframed. It is ok to fail. I give you permission to fail. Now go do something and give yourself permission to fail.
I wrote this piece and originally posted it on Medium, after a night of being inspired by failures of female Venture Capitalists and entrepreneurs. You can read it here https://medium.com/@symaahmed/the-importance-of-failure-f-ckups-and-errors-f9fd612e7570
5 Lessons I Learned in 2017 to Avoid Burnout
The year 2017 turned out to be a remarkable year for me for a multitude of reasons. My body showed symptoms of burnout, which I ignored completely. I was focused on getting jobs done perfectly and there were never enough hours in a day to do all that I wanted done. This made me suffer more intensely from burnout.
Eventually I learned to let go of old routines to make room for new practices focused on taking care of my health. Now I adhere to practices of meditation, yoga and pilates in my daily routine. Here are a few key lessons that I have learned in this brilliant, turbulent and challenging year. Continue reading "5 Lessons I Learned in 2017 to Avoid Burnout"
Home schooled
We know that schools sometimes kill creativity and the shortcomings of academia ingrained through best practice that's often a reflection of the past but this is fresh https://lnkd.in/f5qMFNV. Could home schooling be the future for really bright minds? A flight away from indoctrination, the way things are done, a silent respect for the status quo and a fear of shaking things up beyond comfort and reason.
Notes from Lahore: Finding Values of Sufism in the Midst of Materialism and Terrorism
I carry the city of Lahore in my heart no matter where I go. I visited Lahore during July 2017, and I woke up early every single morning to take shots of our garden to capture the beauty of this land.

Inspiration and its side effects
To feel so charged that you cannot stand still. The urge to move in rapid motion for your whole body to be in rhythm with the speed at which your mind is interpreting an experience, a conversation, an encounter. Such moments in life are the highlights of our personal stories. You cannot attach a price tag to these moments even if you wanted to. A heartfelt thanks to Dr Pierre Benckendorff for infusing my learning journey with tons of inspiration.
Micro moments can make (or break) experiences
The entire experience of an organisation can be built or broken in the tiny details or micro moments. As Ahmed Shuja, an experience designer, aptly explained over coffee
"Micro moments really matter to users because small niggling problems, which they know can be fixed, drive them more mad than bigger problems. Feelings of empathy towards the brand can make users a little forgiving when it comes to big problems."

I purchased a Sony DSC-200. Most pictures I have taken are blurry. I have taken the image size down from 7m pix to 3m pix. Sony's online help tells me to use a tripod and hold the camera still. No kidding! I'm trying to take quick pictures of my newborn son without a lot of futzing withthe camera. My privious 2.1m pixCybershot took great pics. Did I buy the right camera. Any suggestions?

Set it to auto mode and make sure the flash is firing if the shots are indoors. Turn on more lights if indoors. Make sure ISO is either set to auto or try the highest setting (you will get more grain/noise, though).
Simply sounds like there is not enough light near/around/on the baby, so the camera is using a slow speed, hence blur. The brighter light, the better.

I don't know what model 2MP Cybershot you had. But, some of them had relatively bright lenses (i.e., f/2), and the 2MP CCD used in some of the older models did pretty good from a noise perspective as ISO speeds are increased.
Your new model's lens starts out at f/2.8, which means you'll need shutter speeds twice as long as with a camera having an f/2 lens (f/2.0 is twice as bright as f/2.8 ), for any given lighting condition and ISO speed).
Larger apertures (represented by smaller f/stop numbers) let in more light, and these aperturesare only available at the widest lens settings with most models (your model will automatically use the largest aperture available for the amount of zoom you use in low light).
Far more light reaches your camera's sensor through the lens when using the wide angle position, too (the more optical zoom you use, the lower the light reaching the sensor, requiring longer shutter speeds).
If you can't use a flash or tripod, your best bet will be to increase your ISO speed to 400, and shoot at the widest lens setting (don't use any more zoom than necessary since more light will reach the sensor at the wide angle zoom setting).
Then, try to hold the camera as steady as possible, slowly squeezing the shutter button as not to jerk the camera. You'll still need pretty good indoor lighting using this technique, though.
You'll also have more noise (similar to film grain) as you increase ISO speed. But, there are some very good tools to reduce it like Noiseware or Neat Image. They both have free versions of their respective programs for home use, too.
With a compact digital camera, your best bet is probably going to be using the flash. That way, you don't have to worry as much about holding the camera steady (or using a tripod), or increasing your ISO Speed (which adds noise).

It is sometimes identified with Soma: Soma is a plant which grows in former Sogdian in what is now known as Turkestan but was once the homeland of the Uttarakuru to which the early Cimmerians belonged. It also grows further north and is found on the mountain slopes of Kerman. Its botanical name is Sarcostema Viminalis. Shoots and stalks of Soma are mixed with curled milk, barley meal, or in India, mixed with nirvana or trinadhanya thought to be wild rice which fermented, produced a strong intoxicant considered nourishing and healthy. It was seen as prolonging life hence as a divine fortifier (J. A de Gobineau). http://cura.free.fr/xv/14boutet.html

The construction of the 5G network creates many emotions. Concerns concern not only the impact of new technology on human health, but also our security. Politics from various countries have concerns about Chinese base station manufacturers who are to provide equipment to operators building new 5G networks. However, the German government is not considering prohibiting the supply of equipment from Huawei and ZTE.
Politicians very often suggest decisions made by the governments of other countries. People watching the telecommunications market are well aware that the Chinese can not count on cooperation with American operators. That's why Huawei and ZTE are testing 5G technology everywhere, but not in the United States. The second country that banned the construction of the 5G network using Chinese infrastructure equipment is Australia. The ban announced in August was based on the lack of technical solutions that would guarantee the security of the new 5G networks. Government has recognized that it has tools that allow monitoring the security of the LTE network. However, the new technology is more complicated, which does not allow adopting currently used solutions in the field of security. That is why Nadine Schön, vice-president of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group in the Bundestag, expressed her concern that the 5G networks tested in Germany are largely based on Huawei 5G hardware.
The German government will not impose 5G equipment suppliers on operators
Arne Schönbohm (head of the BSI federal IT security office) replied that Germany would control the security of 5G telecommunications equipment using currently available mechanisms. Simply, any company that will provide telecommunications equipment to German operators will have to meet the same requirements related to IT security. That is why the German branch of T-Mobile is able to continue smoothly with Huawei 5G tests. At the same time, "German magenta" also works with other suppliers. The operators also cooperate with Nokia and Ericsson.
Huawei says openly that the decisions of the US and Australian governments are political, not technical. Until now, no security-related organization has shown that the Chinese government is using Huawei to spy on other countries. The base stations produced by the Chinese now operate in many cellular networks around the world. Representatives of operators and state organizations from Canada, Great Britain, Germany and other countries stressed that they are satisfied with many years of cooperation with a Chinese company. In turn, Huawei realizes that he can not afford to lose confidence. Currently, the telecommunications market of mobile networks belongs to three large players. These are Ericsson, Huawei and Nokia. However, around the corner lurk other companies that want to develop their position on the occasion of the implementation of the 5G network. These are Samsung and ZTE. The Korean Samsung can count on the favour of operators who can not cooperate with the Chinese.

Buxus Sempervirens Cones also Boxwood Pyramid Topiary
Evergreen, small-leaved, slow growing Buxus Sempervirens (Boxwood) has been gracing our gardens for centuries. It is best loved as a neatly clipped low hedge or use in geometric topiary shapes like these ever-popular Buxus Sempervirens Cones, also known as Buxus Pyramid Topiary.
Buxus Topiary Cones are generally planted in pairs creating a symmetrical effect or at the corners of a low growing boxwood hedge to create a geometric balance. Plant on their own where you want to emphasise structure. However you use them, Buxus Topiary Cones will add a graceful elegance to your garden or patio - think of them as living green sculpture. As it is slow growing, Buxus Sempervirens topiary only requires one clip per year (maximum two) to keep it in shape.
We are pleased to announce, our strong specimens of Buxus have been bred and selected to be resistant to Box blight. The successes in growing Box is due in no small measure to the invention of a range of products by a Dutch Buxus speciality nursery - TopBuxus is a range of products used by professional growers and informed gardeners. Designed to prevent box blight by fertilizing and using a specialist mulch and to cure when blight has occurred in your garden. We are delighted to be offering these products to our customers as a preventative measure and to help your Box plants get all the nutrients and goodness they need during their growing season. Resulting in fabulously green leaves and healthy plants.
TopBuxus Grow is designed as a fertilizer for Buxus Sempervirens, TopBuxus Carpet is a specially designed mulch which keeps fungal infection away and helps your quality plants stay healthy, TopBuxus Health Mix is a curative product to rid any evidence of box blight that has occurred in your garden.
If you are interested in good alternatives to English Boxwood (Buxus Sempervirens), we also recommend Ilex Crenata (Japanese Holly) as an ideal, blight resistant alternative. Read more on our blog post - Ilex Crenata – the practical answer to Box Blight

This year, Andrew and I were ambassadors for the Ord Valley Muster in Kununurra.
I am completely blown away with all that Kununurra has to offer. It's hands down one of the best trips we have ever had. Although we were still in Western Australia it really felt like we were in another world.
From hot springs to waterfalls, heli-fishing to huge lakes, hiking and cooling off in infinity pools, this place really has something for everyone.
Referred to as the 'food bowl of Australia' the produce that comes from Kununurra is world class and it's this world class produce that has inspired the events around The Ord Valley Muster. With celebrity Chef Matt Moran hosting the Durack Homstead dinner, it was a week we will never forget.
Here's a sneak peak of our Ord Valley Muster journey in Kununurra 2015. Don't forget to book your tickets for next year! I can tell you now this event will absolutely sell out.

Dive Brief:
- Following a Washington, D.C. district court judge's ruling that sent the troubled wellness rules back to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for second review, EEOC warned that vacating the rules would cause turmoil for employers and workers, the National Law Review reports. The agency argued that vacating the rules would force employers to change their already formulated 2018 healthcare insurance plans by Jan. 1.
- Judge John Bates didn't toss out the rules but, instead, sent them back to the EEOC for reconsideration. However, the agency maintains that it wouldn't be able to review the rules by year's end. The judge must now decide whether to toss out the rules or give the agency a chance to revise them.
- The wellness program regulations allow employers to encourage program participation through incentives. The AARP sued EEOC in October after the agency made rule changes, arguing the new rules with violated federal anti-discrimination laws by allowing employers access to workers' private health information.
Dive Insight:
EEOC makes an important point about the time employers need to adjust to fast and often extensive regulatory changes. A new survey by Future Workplace-Kronos Workforce Institute found that deregulation can cost employers $100,000 in compliance expenses. The Trump administration is overturning many, if not most, Obama-era rules. But it does so at a potentially great cost, especially to small businesses.
As for wellness regulation, a federal judge tossed out a preliminary injunction against the rule in January, following the AARP lawsuit. The rule allows employers to offer workers incentives worth as much as 30% of the cost of the plan to disclose pertinent health data. Blake is asking EEOC to explain why the wellness rule doesn't address compliance obligations to the extent necessary under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA). In fact, the ADA drives some of the wellness rule.
In the meantime, employers will have to wait on Blake's decision either to extend the deadline the EEOC said it needs to review the wellness rules or entirely toss out the rule.

Duffy Square
Duffy Square is bordered on the north side by a TKTS discount theater ticket booth, run by the Theater Development Fund. The booth is topped by a public staircase that serves as an outlook over Times Square to the south. The square, triangular in shape, is named for Catholic priest Francis P. Duffy (1871-1932), whose career included serving as priest at Holy Cross Church in Hell's Kitchen, a block from Times Square. A statue of Duffy and one of playwright and actor George M. Cohan stand in the square.

Governors Island
This 172-acre island in New York Harbor was a quiet military installation under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army from 1794 to 1966 and of the Coast Guard until 1996. It now hosts free art exhibitions, festivals and ticketed concerts and is accessible by a free ferry.
Hans Christian Andersen Statue
Unveiled in 1956, the idea for the statue originated with Baroness Alma Dahlerup, then president of the Danish-American Women's Association of New York, who for many years had arranged for Andersen's stories to be told on the radio. Robert Moses, then New York City parks commissioner, selected the site and the city's Department of Parks and Recreation has supported it. Donations by schoolchildren in Denmark and the United States made up a share of the funding for the statue, which was executed by the Danish American sculptor George Lober. Hans Christian Andersen's well-rubbed knees are ample evidence of the fun ...
