About Frances Higgins
My name is Frances and I am from Ireland, and have been living in Cyprus for the past 20 years. I've been living with my husband in Kritou Terra village for the last 10 years now, and simply can't imagine living anywhere else!
Frances Higgins purchased this Farmhouse in 2004
Why Frances Higgins chose Kritou Tera
It took me over 4 years of searching to find this particular house. Most of the traditional Cypriot village houses are built very close to each other with no gardens or at most only a small yard. So this house was unique in that it has no immediate neighbours, and it had plenty of space to add a pool in the garden, while still being an authentic traditional Cypriot village house.
What makes this Farmhouse unique
Peace and quiet, no traffic and seclusion are some of the unique features of this property. Surrounded by fields, nature walks are only a step from the garden gate. However I fell in love with the house because of it's charming character - natural stone walls, bamboo and wooden ceilings, Greek-style blue windows and shutters, and quirky little touches such as stable doors and alcoves in the walls.

Just perfect!
If you are looking for peaceful, relaxing, "get away from it all" location for your holiday in Cyprus then this is it! The villa is a traditional Cypriot cottage but has everything you need including plenty of towels and beach towels, microwave, toaster, coffeemaker, cool box, washing machine, dishwasher, air conditioning in the bedroom as well as a mosquito net( which came in handy!). The pool is fabulous and is maintained twice weekly.Frances, the owner meets you at the airport and is very welcoming , the use of her 4x4 is another welcome addition for the holiday as a vehicle is a must.There is a large supermarket in Polis which is approx. 12 miles away as well as a bakery and numerous cafes and restaurants. Latchi is another nearby resort and is more " tourist " orientated with seaside cafes and boat tours. Our favourite places to eat out were in Kathikas, approx 4 miles away where you can find more traditional Cypriot cuisine. Our only regret was that we didn't visit the waterfall in Kritou Tera and try the local tavern in the village but we will save that for next time!This villa ticked all the boxes for us so we will definitely be back!
at last we found the real cyprus
if like us your looking for privacy,peace & quiet,and good pool in a traditional village then this sensitively restored stone house ticks all the boxes. It may not have the latest high end household equipment but everything works fine and serve to make it feel even more homely and frances and khalil are superb hosts. This experience was a joy and will be hard to beat
Wonderful holiday in Cyprus
What a lovely first visit to Cyprus, made all the more enjoyable by the helpfulness of Frances and Kahlil. To be met at the airport late at night after a long flight and then driven to the villa was wonderful, as was finding the well stocked fridge and welcome basket. What a difference not to have the usual stress of sorting out a hire car and finding food essentials on arrival!
The villa was as lovely as the photographs and the pool was just heavenly. The Wifi signal was better than at home (very important with a teenager in tow!) We loved the peaceful village setting and, with Tabitha the cat keeping us company, it really felt like a home from home. The car, though not in the first flush of youth, was ideal for exploring across the Akamas pennisula and into the Troodos mountains. Kathikas, nearby, was very good for restaurants, especially The Farmyard where both service and menu were excellent. There is just so much to see and do - we simply ran out of time.
The villa is super and I would highly recommend this lovely holiday home. Frances could not have been more attentive and was always there at the end of the phone to sort out any problems that might have arisen or if you needed advice. It was definitely one of the most relaxing holidays we've ever had. Thank you so much.
Un posto dove tornare
E' stato un soggiorno molto piacevole ... le piante in giardino donano un'ombra molto gradevole e la piscina è davvero impagabile!
La casa è molto accogliente e comoda , non manca nulla, unico piccolo appunto sarebbe da cambiare per usura la cucina a piastre elettriche
I proprietari sono molto gentili e disponibilissimi...
Second visit, just as good as before!
Amazing villa, well equipped with all you should need. Perfect for unwinding, very quiet and with privacy. Pool was fantastic, as was the car which comes in with the price. You'll find it hard to leave the villa though! Frances and kahlil are very knowledgable of the surrounding area, offering good advice on local villages/restaurants etc. We shall be back again!
Homely hideaway on the hills
This villa is, just as described, a very homely, well-equipped and peaceful place hidden on the bushy hill slopes of the Kritou Terra village. Shops, restaurants and beaches are not available within a walking distance, but the reliable 4x4 included in the rental takes you there in just ten minutes. The house is well maintained and the hosts very helpful and friendly. Marvelous beaches for snorkeling can be found in the Akamas peninsula, and nice restaurants in the nearby villages. We warmly recommend this villa to families and those seeking a peaceful location with opportunities for various kinds of activities.
Huvila on erittäin kodikas ja hyvin varusteltu, rauhallinen paratiisi Kritou Terran kylän rinteellä. Luksusta lomailuun tuo oma uima-allas. Palveluja ei omalta kylältä löydy, mutta vuokraan sisältyvä luotettava nelivetoauto vie kaupoille ja ravintolaan nopeasti. Huvila on hyvin pidetty ja varusteltu ja isäntäväki ystävällistä ja avuliasta. Finnair lentää nykyisin myös Pafokseen, mutta me saimme kohtuuhintaisen kyydin Larnakan lentokentältä ja takaisin suoraan huvilan ovelta, mikä oli todella mukava lisäpalvelu. Lähistöltä löytyy rantoja moneen makuun, hiekkarannoista kallioisiin snorklausparatiiseihin. Päätiet ovat hyväkuntoisia, kaukaisemmille rannoille vievät vuoristotiet vaativia mutta kaikista selvittiin maltilla. Kohde sopii hyvin perheille ja muille rauhaa ja virkistysmahdollisuuksia hakeville.
The farmhouse lies in the traditional rural village of Kritou Terra, which is on the Laona plateau close to the Akamas National Park at the western tip of the island of Cyprus. It is only a short 10-minute drive to Polis town and the beaches of Polis & Latchi. The famous tourist resort and sandy beaches of Coral Bay are a 20-minute drive away, and Pafos town with its shops and buzzing night life is a 30-minute drive away. An excellent selection of tavernas & pubs can be found in the nearby villages and in Polis.
The Laona plateau boasts a wide variety of landscapes from coastal to hill country, to valleys and open plains. Guests interested in seeing the Spring flowers should visit between the beginning of March and the end of May. The main bird migrations, when a wide variety of species may be seen, take place in Spring and Autumn. The Troodos mountains, which reach to 2000 metres, and Paphos forest (home of the moufflon, the island's indigenous mountain sheep) are about one hour's drive away. The perfect spot for hiking, hillwalking and birdwatching.

That seems to be a question that needs answering. For weeks, ever since Taylor Kitsch made his comment about having seen it, the major question has been when will we-the rest of the non-Disney world-see the trailer for John Carter of Mars? It failed to turn up with Thor and now we turn to the next logical suspect: this weekend's Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Now there has been no official word from the Mouse House that the trailer is attached but it would make some sense since On Stranger Tides is the studio's only real big adventure film this summer (even though thanks to owning Marvel Disney does have stakes in both Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger). On the other hand Disney hasn't shown much sense in their handling of this film's promotion yet with no teaser poster or photos released so the only Carter/Sparrow connection possibly could be that photo above of Lynn Collins-in her red panted glory-at the premiere of Pirates 4 but you never know. I guess just keep checking the film's Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/JohnCarterMovie for any word. UPDATE MAY 21: It looks like the trailer failed to show up this weekend. Then again I guess Disney could always use the "we thought the world was ending" excuse for the no-show.

Some people I knew
could cut deep into me.
I bid them slide off the beach
returning to the sea.
I would run marathons.
I would breath deep.
Pondering the knives
that rip into people's sheets.
Me I quickly I go to
that inspiring place.
To where I save face
onward in stoic pace.
Where with calm I question
the tide rolling out.
Tried did I to question
solace with sincere doubt.
Yet some can cut us.
They're sharper than switchblades.
You can only hold on so long.
Too tightly and become unmade.
Once I thought I knew
one that no longer comforts me.
No friend I can remember
upon that tumultuous sea.
Sharp like a knife and un-bending
tried did I to grasp
the power of such a thing but
I had to drop it fast.
Falling to my knees
chastising the tide rolling.
The sun went down,
emotions can be controlling.
So it's best to let go
of some things loved too much.
That is when we heal
from their defeating cuts.
Let them get carried
away in the sea's foam.
It's better to remain sane,
and watch dawn arrive alone.
Go with God tell them.
It's what I begged her to do.
So that I could find
the feeling I knew was true.

Operation Organise: Bedside Table
The number one place of clutter collecting is the bedside table. This is usually because they have a couple of drawers and are convenient to put all of those random items in when we can't be bothered to put said item in its original habitat. However, your bedroom should be your sanctuary so why should it be cluttered?
Top Tips
- Empty all drawers and tops.
- Clean/dust tops and drawers.
- Purge away! We're talking receipts, toiletries, old magazines, cash.
- Only essentials should be kept here, especially on the top.
- Keep the top for those items you need regularly: a lamp, an alarm clock, a pen and paper, a coaster and a small dish for everyday jewellery.
- Invest in dividers or trinket boxes for your drawers to store smaller items in, such as hair grips and receipts.
Left Side:
In the top drawer I keep extra skincare products: cleaners, toners, moisturisers and cotton wool. The drawer is not the strongest in the world so I keep smaller, lighter products in there.
In the top drawer, I keep all those miscellaneous items: chargers, receipts, spare change and iPod. I try to sort through receipts weekly so they don't clog my drawer up and let's face it, our phones have terrible battery life nowadays that they are permanently charging when at home!
In the middle drawer, I keep all of my hair products/accessories. I have a headband pot, a hair slide pot and a hairband pot. I went through a phase of being obsessed with headbands thanks to Blair Waldorf and I can't bear to part with my collection!
In the bottom drawer, I keep other smaller toiletries (deodrants, sprays, toothbrushes, toothpastes, razors, lipbalm).

Since handling a firearm either indoors or outdoors is a complex task, with possible fatal outcomes if done improperly, gun safety dictates that a firearm should never be handled while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or legal prescription or over-the-counter drugs. Since such substances may affect a person's judgment even after consuming relatively small amounts, zero tolerance is advocated by gun safety teachers. This is codified in many states' penal codes as a crime of "carrying under the influence", with penalties similar to DWI/DUI. Exhaustion can also constitute a form of impairment, as reaction time, cognitive processing and sensory perception are all impaired by sleep deprivation and/or physical exhaustion. Gun safety therefore discourages using firearms when exhausted.
Cancellation Policy: All half and full day tours have a 72-hour cancelation policy. If your plans change for any reason, please be sure to call at least 72 hours prior to the day of your tour to avoid charges.

Research units & titles
- Professor (Associate Professor) Metallurgy (MTG) - Professors, tenure track
- Professor (Associate Professor) Department of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering - Professors, tenure track
Artistic and research interests
My professorship covers the high-temperature processes for producing metals and the momentum, heat, and mass transfer phenomena involved in these processes. This also includes chemical reactions and their kinetics. The sustainable production of metals from poor and impure raw materials brings new challenges into the process.
Research activities focus on the behaviour of different elements in high-temperature processes, because as new raw material groups are brought in they introduce into the processes substances that have not been there before. In terms of the behaviour studied, attention is paid in particular to how the substances distribute into different products such as metals and slag, or through evaporation into gases and flue dust.
Another line of research is the modelling of processes' transfer phenomena and kinetics, primarily with the use of commercial CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) software. The basic phenomena can be modelled with the CFD tools, but the kinetics of the metallurgical reactions are added as submodels defined by the researchers and the required kinetic information is acquired through experimental research. I have two research groups that support and complement each other, one for experimental research and the other for computer modelling research. The objective of this is to find ways to develop the processes so that all the elements can completely be either stored, put to use, or safely discarded in a controlled manner.
Focus areas:
- Metallurgical processes, reactions and transport phenomena.
- Sustainable production and use of materials.
- Environmentally friendly and energy-efficient processing of metals
from low grade and complex primary and secondary resources.

Endorsement deals have been falling off the face of the earth, but a woman golfer, who hasn't made a single cut in the four LPGA tournaments she has played in this year, recently picked up a pretty big deal.
Her name is Anna Rawson. She's a 27-year-old Australian beauty turned pro golfer and the fact that she hasn't had a single round under par in this country in 2009 hasn't deterred the folks at Go Daddy from making her their next star to join a roster that includes Danica Patrick and Amanda Beard.
"She'll get more eyeballs from her Go Daddy exposure than she would if she played a whole season on the LPGA," said her agent Anthony Rodriguez, who met Rawson at a fraternity house while the two attended USC. "There at ten times more eyeballs on those spots than there are people watching the Golf Channel. I mean, for Lorena Ochoa to get on SportsCenter she'd not only have to win a tournament. She would have a shoot a ball off a tree into the hole."
So far, Rawson has appeared on the homepage of the internet domain buying site and has worn the company's logo on her garb since March, but Barb Rechterman, executive vice president of Go Daddy, told us the company will shoot a commercial with Rawson in the next month.
"All I can tell you right now is we'll shoot it at a golf course and it will be Go Daddy-esque, meaning fun, edgy and slightly inappropriate," said Barb Rechterman, executive vice president of the company.

'God Wanted Us To Shoot First'
Every American journalist knows that one topic that always gets you in trouble is Israel — even if you're just reviewing movies. Over the years, I've gotten letters calling me pro-terrorist and anti-Semitic, a dupe of the Israel lobby and a Zionist racist, not to mention a coward who believes in moral equivalence. For a great many Americans, there's only one true position on Israel, only one righteous side.
In Israel itself, people know better. A wonderful example of this is the gripping new film Ajami, which was written and directed by Scandar Copti — an Arab Israeli — and Yaron Shani, an Israeli Jew. The movie takes its name from its setting, the Ajami neighborhood in the port city of Jaffa, which is something of a bumper-car rink filled with daily collisions between Israeli Jews, Israeli Arabs — both Muslim and Christian — and Palestinians who've entered the country illegally.
Ajami begins with Bedouin gangsters gunning down a teenager on the street — by mistake. You see, the killers thought they were shooting a young man named Omar. Omar himself had done nothing wrong, but his uncle had shot a Bedouin extortionist, and in this neighborhood everything is ultimately and inescapably familial and tribal. Guilt by association is one of life's givens.
As this beginning suggests, Ajami is a tale suffused with grit, the endlessly ramifying mess of urban life. Yet Copti and Shani steer clear of the plodding linearity that can make realism so deadly. In fact, the plot is something of a brainteaser. Told in five chapters, this tale of crime and revenge shuffles past and present a bit like Pulp Fiction, although it creates a far denser world than Quentin Tarantino's. There are scads of characters, including the Muslim Omar; his Arab Christian girlfriend, Hadir; his friend Binj, a charming Arab doper with a Jewish girlfriend; a sweet-faced Palestinian illegal, Malik; and an explosive Jewish cop, Dando, whose brother has gone missing from the Israeli army.
The neighborhood is so packed with interesting characters and situations that it reminded me of the HBO series The Wire. I kept thinking that Ajami would be even better, and less schematic, if it could run for 10 or 12 hours and give its characters a bit more room to breathe. As it is, Copti and Shani do a nice job of capturing the texture of life, be it Omar and Hadir's secretive flirting, Binj cracking up his pals with a goofy dance, or the terrific scene when a local Arab judge negotiates how much Omar must pay the Bedouins so they won't kill him and his family in reprisal for something that everyone agrees wasn't remotely their fault.
Of course, to get this money, Omar is driven into crime that will breed further violence. And so it goes: Kids and crooks, cops and restaurateurs — everyone's held hostage by what's happened before, which is essentially how Israeli and Palestinian politics play out to this day. Every action, however bad, is justified as a response to something bad that happened earlier, all the way back to an original sin that happened decades or even millennia ago. I think that's one reason why Copti and Shani have chosen to tell their story out of chronological order. By muddying the lines of causality — so-and-so did this because somebody else did that first — the movie avoids the logic of blame in order to reveal the horror of entrapment.
In the process, Ajami offers a portrait of Israeli life that's both harder-edged and bleaker than American accounts of Israel — or, to be frank, American accounts of America. With a compassionate sense of human frailty, it depicts a society in which even the most decent people are imprisoned in social identities they didn't freely choose and find themselves inexorably pushed toward a thuggishness that isn't natural to them.
It's a dark, unsparing vision, yet what makes watching bearable, even pleasurable, is Copti and Shani's humane intelligence. They step outside the infinite regress of attack and reprisal to show us the tragic reality of characters, none perfect but none monstrous, who live knee-deep in the swamp of history. And in this swamp, Ajami makes clear, everybody has his reasons and nobody can be completely clean. It's a thought worth remembering, especially for those who specialize in writing angry letters.

Monster Energy Team Green Kawasaki elite Mitchell Harrison has been busy banging bars in the Arenacross Lites class, racking up a pair of heat race wins as well as a big main event victory in his home state. Making Michigan proud, Harrison battled his way to the top spot on Saturday night in Grand Rapids, etching his name on the Road To Supercross winners list. With an undeniable amount of steam behind him, 2015 is Mitchell's for the taking.
MP: Mitchell, thanks for taking the time to talk with us! Congrats on the win on Saturday. Let's start with last week. You burst onto the Arenacross Lites scene with a big heat race win and ended your first main just inside the top ten. Take me through your first night in Arenacross.
Mitchell Harrison: Thank you! It felt great to be on the top step of the podium! I started the night off really good with a heat race win and I was feeling really confident coming into Arenacross. I felt really prepared and ready to take on a new challenge. Going into the main, I felt like I was the one to beat. I got an alright holeshot and worked my way to third but the guys in Arenacross are very aggressive and it took me a while to get used to that. I ended up crashing and taking ninth but it was a good first night. I learned a lot and that's all I can ask for.
Insatiable: Darian Sanayei
The #457 ride of Darian Sanayei has been setting the motocross community ablaze for quite some time now, earning himself the title "national champion" on many occasions throughout his tenure as an amateur. No stranger to the podium, Darian stuck himself on the top of the box once again at round one of the Amsoil Arenacross Series in the AX Lites class in Cincinnati, Ohio. We caught up with the Monster Energy Team Green recruit after securing his first of three necessary points to graduate through the Ricky Carmichael: Road to Supercross. After facing splashes of doubt and adversity head on throughout his career, Darian has proven time and time again that he refuses to be counted out. With his strong will and stronger support system, 2015 looks to be very promising for the Washington native.

In today's world we are looking more and more to the home environment to provide a place of solace. The well-conceived garden and landscape design transforms open spaces into a reflection of the natural world and it's ability to soothe and restore the senses.
We approach garden design and landscape design from an eclectic perspective realizing that each client is as diverse as nature. Therefore, we concentrate our focus on creating an outdoor living space that reflects individual moods, personalities, lifestyles, and even business orientations.
Our goal is to design gardens and landscapes that will inspire the senses to open up and breathe in deeply the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and textures in nature. This can be accomplished through a quiet garden setting, an outdoor social event, picking fresh produce from an edible garden, or a walk-up entrance into a home or business.
A garden can be many things...
Organic Garden
Flower Garden
Raised Bed
Garden Room
Rock Garden
Wildlife Garden
Urban Garden
Kitchen Garden

I got to bed quite late after calling Skypeing the folks at home I had a whole dorm (tent) to myself which was nice and was very tired so I did not wake up till 9am I had a shower which cost a quarter a minute and you had to feed it one at a time and you guessed it as always it stopped when you are all soaped up or at the most awkward moment. Leisurely load of the bike which is filthy and went round a couple of motorcycle dealers looking for some oil for my chain lubricator I got some eventually not sure that it will work, I did write a note to OSCO the manufacturer but as yet I have heard nothing from them and I am sure they are going to say that there oil is specially engineered and others will not work in the system but I have got some BMW branded Scott oil so when my does run out its going in and bugger the consequences. I have always hated chains and chain maintenance on a motorbike there has to be a better design I know how about a belt drive like on my old bike I do miss that low maintenance solution. I had a late breakfast early lunch at Safeway and also found a hose at a petrol station so gave the bike a good hosing down as it was covered in mud from yesterday.
A bit of a dull road out of Fairbanks but the sun was shining but a I guess after yesterday everything is going seem a bit dull however as I enter Denali National Park it went back to being spectacular. I spent the rest of day at the Park but unfortunately you could only take your own vehicle 15 miles into the park and if you wanted to go further you had to get a bus or a tour and it was late in the day and I did not fancy this so just mucked around in the area that I was allowed in which was very pleasant.
I finally pulled myself away and headed to hostel down the road and unlike last night this is full I got the last bed in a dorm. I went for a pizza, which is huge so I guess that breakfast sorted as well. Tomorrow plan is to head back into the park and watch a sled dog show but after that I am in bit of a quandary of whether to head down to Anchorage and or start back towards Canada via the Denali highway which I heard excellent things about so its decision time I will decide on this in the morning.

Red Buk готов к сотрудничеству с талантливыми дизайнерами и архитекторами, ориентированными на создание самых нестандартных и качественных проектов. Мы ценим креативный подход и оригинальные идеи и прилагаем все усилия, чтобы добиться поставленных целей в наилучшем исполнении.
С радостью рассмотрим любые, самые смелые Ваши проекты, и обсудим все этапы совместного творчества.
С радостью рассчитаем для Вас любые, самые смелые проекты, и обсудим все этапы совместного творчества.
Our philosophy is based on tradition, creativity and technology. Only with respect to the past, understand the present and look to the future we can create it for you to aspire to every person: a feeling of comfort.
In recent years, a sense of style Russian man survived a big change. Gone pursuit of luxury, a false confidence in the authorities, the desire to put the wealth on display. We have learned to trust your instincts in choosing household items. We began to choose what is convenient and reliable, and not something that looks expensive. We realized that the status shown in detail, not in a wrapper.
With these changes has come and the idea of "Red Book". The idea to create furniture that would serve several generations. To create interiors that are not only stylish, but also comfortable. The idea to give people the opportunity to experience a live product and not choose the furniture catalog, trusting the advertising photos and the text.
We have assembled a team of professionals and equipped with modern production equipment, to create furniture, surrounded by which people want to live. Which pleasure to use, which would like to pass on to their children, which allows you to truly feel at home.
Our factory is always open to visitors. We make no secret of the production. You can come and appreciate the product at any stage of the creation: to open the cabinet door, sit in a chair, a cup of coffee at the table. We offer you "try on" products: personally make sure you feet a suitable height and packing quite comfortable. The thing you need to feel before you make a part of your home.
The process of manufacturing the two things can not be the same: they are made for different people, for different needs. In the discussion, we do not just listen to the wishes: we create the technology for you, which will forever remain in our archives. Even after years, you can contact us, to create a favorite for a couple of things or fix the damage. Our masters will know what type of wood, paint color and detail used in the creation.

I recently got the opportunity to take a tour of the SRAM/Zipp Wheels Factory in Indianapolis, IN. All you get is a picture of the exterior of the factory because I had to sign a nondisclosure agreement because of the proprietary materials, processes, and as-yet unreleased products I might see inside.
I gotta say it was a pretty cool opportunity. I've visited and worked in a number of factories over the years and this one was pretty clean by comparison. Zipp Wheel tech is pretty cool, I've gotta say. And these things are handmade. Laid up by hand, finished by hand, and assembled by hand. With hubs that are built in Mooresville, IN. They even assemble some of the SRAM mtb wheelsets here.
SRAM also keeps some other services at this facility. They are moving dealer support to this facility eventually (they are constructing a space for those people to work right now) from Chicago, and they keep some backstock of other SRAM products here for quick shipping. I'll probably be purchasing some SRAM product eventually to support their local operations.
Unfortunately, since Zipp Wheels are for non-disc road bikes, I don't think I'll be getting a wheelset anytime soon. If they ever do decide to make a mtb wheelset, or a road wheelset with 135mm spacing and disc hubs, I might come take a look.

Guess what… Nickelodeon's SpongeBob SquarePants is out right now on NOW TV! All 41 episodes from seasons 1 and 2 are currently available as part of the NOW TV entertainment package. Isn't that great! Little ones will love the way they can visually access this comical show via the on-demand Kids Collection which features popular boxsets from Nickelodeon, Nick jr and the Disney channel.
Everyone will find something to love about Nickelodeon's award winning show SpongeBob SquarePants. From the super addictive theme tune to the laugh-a-minute quirky comedy, it's packed full of SpongeBob and Patrick the starfish's mischievous adventures. Little Button didn't quite catch all the humour, but thoroughly enjoyed discovering the underwater city and all the featuring sea creatures. Just the word 'pants' was enough to have her falling off her chair in fits of laughter. That's a threenager for you.
Nickelodeon very generously popped a goody bag over to us full of SpongeBob SquarePants themed merchandise which we all had so much fun playing with… yes… even the grown-ups!
After a busy day out and about, Little Button enjoys a little down time watching some of her favourite shows. It helps her to unwind, relax and fit in a few extra giggles before teatime. The best thing about the NOW TV entertainment package (apart from all the great things to watch), is that the little ones can pick and choose what they want to watch and when, so it's all about quality rather than quantity (*blushes and admits to watching a bit of back-to-back Shimmer and Shine).
Think back before NOW TV… remember when you HAD to wait all week for your favourite show, and then sometimes you would miss it… THAT would never happen with NOW TV… it's simply revolutionised how we watch things.
You can follow SpongeBob SquarePants caper's by watching him on the NOW TV Entertainment pass for a free 14 day trial here. If you love what you see then you can carry on watching for £6.99 a month. There are no contracts or hidden charges, so you can cancel at any time and enjoy the full time frame that you have paid for.
Still thinking about it? Find out more about the all the available packages and why we think NOW TV is perfect for parents.
Don't forget to visit the Nickelodeon website for lots more SpongeBob SquarePants antics, video clips and competitions.
You can also follow @NOWTV @NickelodeonTV and check out #NOWTVandNickelodeon.

Tag, You're It! Challenge
The new Cricut Cardz Challenge is to make a card using a tag or tags and any cartridge, color and theme you want. This is what I came up with.
I start with a white card stock cut and folded to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base. I cut my tag from the Sweethearts cartridge at 5". I used my Imagine and the Floral Emporium cartridge for all my solid colors and patterned papers. My queen was cut at 3 1/2" from the Once Upon a Princess Cartridge. I used a copic marker to add color to her cheeks and I painted the layers of her crown with some Glimmer Glaze. I stamped my sentiment "The Queen Rules" with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I attached her to the tag with some foam tape and attached the entire tag to the front of my card.
I sure hope you will play along with us for the challenge, it was a lot of fun.

International Symposium on micro-optical imaging and projection 2012
From the 27th until the 29th November 2012 over 100 experts from ten nations and four continents discussed new developments in the field of innovative micro-optical systems for computers, mobile phones, life sciences and the automobile industry. Among others, the conference was attended by the chip manufacturer Intel, the mobile phone producer Nokia, as well as by Apple, Sony and Google.
The main issue of the "symposium on micro-optical imaging an projection – MIPS" was the merging of the key technologies optics and electronics. This makes it possible to create even better products, e.g. smaller and better cameras for mobile phones, Beamers for Smartphones or small 3D-cameras and 3D-displays.

Two teens have been charged with murder in the deaths of a Louisiana oil-company manager and his son, authorities revealed Sunday, according to the Daily Mail.
Neither Haraqyon Degruy, 18, nor her friend Dexter Allen, 17, have any "significant" criminal history, officials say, and authorities are still trying to figure out the motive for the slayings, as well as the connection between the teens and their alleged victims.
David Pence, 56, was shot three times in the chest while he was sitting in an armchair; his son, Nicholas Pence, 25, was shot in the face and the back, according to the site.
According to the Daily Mail, the shootings could have been the result of an armed burglary gone wrong, since the two teens were allegedly linked to recent car break-ins.
David Pence's wife found the two men, who had been celebrating a football game win in their garage on Wednesday, when the shooting occurred and she said she heard the gunfire. The Mail reports that they had said goodbye to stragglers at the party when they were attacked.
Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand called the shooting a "completely, totally, shock-the-conscience type of homicide—obviously execution-style, very close."
Authorities believe that Allen was the one who killed the two men before running out to the car and telling Degruy, who then allegedly drove off. Degruy has been charged with being an accessory to first-degree murder and vehicle burglary, while Allen has been charged with fleeing police and first-degree murder.

An ounce of preparation is worth more than a pound of cure. Your grandpa might throw around old sayings like that all the time, but in all honesty, this one actually is true. When tending to any unexpected financial curve balls thrown at you, this saying rings true. By learning how to organize your budget properly, you can be ready for many different kinds of financial emergencies that may pop up at you at the absolute worst possible moment.
Kinds of Financial Emergencies You Should Plan For
When planning ahead, there is more than one kind of financial emergency you should consider when organizing your budget. Life tends to chuck any number of unexpected curve balls at us, and they always seem to come at the worst possible moment. That being said, it is best if you prepare yourself for the likes of:
- Property tax
- Christmas gifts
- Car repairs
- Birthday presents
- Vision bills
- Dental bills
- Hospital visit
- Winterization
- House/tenant insurance
- Car insurance
- Home repairs
- Traveling to, and buying a gift for, a close friend or family member's wedding
- Kid related fees (music lessons, school fees, sports, etc.)
How to Organize Your Budget So You Are Ready for a Financial Emergency
It is not as difficult as you may have thought to prepare yourself for the absolute worst that could happen to your pocket book. There are 5 easy steps for you to follow so that you are ready for a financial emergency.
By following them, you will be in a lot better shape to deal with financial calamities you would have otherwise gotten knocked down by. These steps include:
- Identifying Unexpected Expenses
By taking some time to write down some potential expenses that might come your way (such as the ones we listed above), you will have a better idea of what kind of bill(s) you may end up having to foot. You can then prepare for having to pay that amount and not have to panic about coming up with money last minute, because you saved up for that expense.
- Look at Past Irregular Expenses
Make sure you have a look at your calendar from the past year, your credit card statements, and your bank statements. When you look through them, check for any irregular expenses. When you see what those expenses might be, jot down what you paid and when you had to pay them. Keeping in mind what you have paid in the past, will leave you better prepared when you need to pay such expenses again somewhere down the line.
- Tally Up All Expenses
Tally up unexpected expenses and the amount of your regular expenses. Afterward, you will want to divide by the number of pay checks you get every year. An example of this would be if your irregular and periodic expenses total up to $2,500 for the entire year. Take that amount and divide by 26, if you are paid on a bi-weekly basis. You will then want to set this amount, which is $96, aside into an account that is separate so that you will have the money you need when you need it.
- Revise Your Budget
You may end up finding it to be difficult to set aside $100 every month at the start of your budget adherence, so you will want to work your way up to that amount over a pre-determined period of time. While you are doing this, look for ways to decrease your other expenses. You can star off by saving $25 from every pay check. Over time you could bump it up to $50, $75, and then $100. Of course, you can do this in whatever kinds of increments will work best for you.
- Set Up an Organized Money Management System
It will be a great deal easier for you to save the amount of money that you would like to save by making the entire process automated. By setting up automatic electronic transfers, you do not have to think about or go through the effort of actively setting aside and reallocating the money you would like to save to a different account. Additionally, by making things automatic you will be keeping the money safe from yourself. It can be tempting to just take that money and spend it on yourself instead of saving it for emergencies.

Constitutional crisis could have been averted and should be avoided at all costs says an experienced cabinet player turned distinguished academic
Palo Alto – From the heights of Stanford's Hoover Institute, with 40 years of hindsight at his disposal, George P. Shultz penned a chapter in his personal memoir in yesterday's "Wall Street Journal."
A careful reading offers a rare glimpse into the political fallout that rocked the world of both career diplomats and political appointees in the Reagan White House.
With a headline that reads "The Constitution doesn't mention czars," the piece begins just as quietly as Mr. Shultz served the nation as an appointee to the Nixon cabinet as Secretary of Labor and the Treasury and throughout his days as the Reaganaut Secretary of State.
When the narration slams into the reality of how a once orderly executive system coordinated by a chief of staff and cabinet secretaries turned into a free-for-all government by committee spectacle over the Iran-Contra scandal/affair/and-or-revelation-written-in-holy-electronic fire, events begin to move very quickly – in the wrong direction.
The gist is simple enough. Col. Oliver North and Company got in a heap of trouble and didn't bother to break it gently to the folks at Foggy Bottom.
They, too, learned all about it the way the rest of us did – by watching TV.
Problem: it's their constitutional duty as presidential appointees to handle the things Col. Oliver North and Adm. John Poindexter accomplished via back channels and a triangle trade of gungs, drugs and airplane parts that resembled Milo Minderbinder's legendary Catch 22 transactions of questionable legality and veracity.
Imagine the headaches all this must have caused a former Dean of the University of Chicago School of Business, to put out fires and then see new ones flare up in other areas on a daily basis while Congressmen sat and asked the tough questions and millions watched through the unblinking eye of the camera.
He's here to tell us about it.
Here's a sample: "In national security and foreign policy, the National Security Council (NSC) was established after World War II by the National Security Act of 1947. As late as 1961, under President Dwight D. Eisenhower, the NSC was supported by a small staff headed by an executive secretary with a 'passion for anonymity' and limited to a coordinating role. In subsequent administrations, that passion disappeared and staff members took on operational duties that formerly were the responsibility of constitutionally confirmed cabinet officials. This aggrandizement of the staff function then spread into fields far beyond national security."
So far, so good; but, hang on to your hat. Don't get too comfortable. This is a man who once ran Bechtel International. He knows how to chew that behind, but good.
Now hear this.
To take on an appointment to fulfill that all-important constitutional responsibility, Mr. Schultz points out, one must fill out lengthy questionnaires regarding personal matters that really aren't anyone else's business. It's all about who you know and what they think about what'sit and who dat and this that and the other.
Beyond IRS and FBI records, asks Mr. Shultz, what's the point?
Control, he maintains. Got to be about the control.
Congressional committees don't get in any hurry to confirm appointments. Consequently, qualified people don't get all that interested in taking on those jobs. One key consequence is that if one is found making a mistake in his answers, he is subject to criminal prosecution, the federal kind that doesn't go away overnight and doesn't get handled with deferred adjudication or early parole or any of that frou frou stuff. We're talking hard time, here.
"These long delays make for great difficulty in assembling an administration, particularly in its crucial first year. The result has been appointment of people to the White House staff with de facto decision-making power over all the major areas of government. This practice also extends to foreign affairs, as a variety of special envoys and 'special representatives' are appointed often with ambiguity about whether they report directly to the president or to the secretary of state...Beyond constitutional questions, such White House advisers, counselors, staffers and czars are not accountable. They cannot be called to testify under oath, and when Congress asks them to come, they typically plead executive privilege."
Here's the real burr under his saddle: "As secretary of state under President Ronald Reagan, I experienced this with great pain when White House people developed and ran an off-the-books program of arms sales to Iran. It erupted in the Iran-Contra scandal involving the unconstitutional transfer of funds not appropriated by Congress to the Contras, and with close to devastating consequences for the president."
Uh oh. This guy knows how to meet a payroll and he knows when it gets painful to sign the checks, you make some adjustments.
What, after all, did the Iran-Contra scam accomplish? They say it stopped communism far, far south of the Mexican border, that it stabilized a troubled region, etc. But, then, they also say it's classified, you know.
"The CIA. You don't know. You don't want to know."
Uh, yeah. You're right. That's why it's a secret, over here.
"What must be done?"
Put the people with the constitutional responsibility back in the loop, says Mr. Shultz.
"With the help of staff coordinators in the White House, cabinet members might convene by themselves and then with the president. This would involve the departments and, at the same time, ensure that a presidential, rather than a departmental, point of view would prevail. Policy execution would be improved, as would support for legislative initiatives."
Talk about ceramics in the dialect of high glaze. But, then, I always liked the guy's style. I think Mr. George P. Shultz is on to something, here. If it's not in the constitution, what's it doing on television, especially when the people who have the constitutional responsibility to handle the situation haven't been given a chance to sign off on the plans that went awry long before they were put in place?
"¿Quien sabe?," as they say south of the Mexican border.

This month, Brian shares his latest release along with his writing background and influences.
Q: When did you decide you wanted to be a writer?
I started dreaming about being a writer when I was in high school. I loved books. I remember going to the paperback racks at the grocery store and just staring at all the book covers. The artwork inspired me to imagine the stories inside each book. I saw books as parallel worlds you can travel into, escape from every day reality. In high school I wanted to be the next Stephen King. I attempted my first novel, writing by hand on a yellow tablet. My wrist got tired, so I quit after about five pages. My freshman year in college I learned to type on Microsoft Word and that made writing much easier for me. At age 19, I wrote my first full-length horror novel and the feeling of accomplishment was such a rush. It was like this story just poured out of my soul. I had so much fun just letting my imagination run wild and making up this imaginary world. I created a group of characters who were like real people to me, living in an alternate universe. After writing all semester and completing my first novel, I was hooked. A novelist was born. I changed majors from business finance to creative writing and screenwriting. From that day on I was determined to make a living writing and publishing novels.
Q: How would you describe the genre in which you do most of your writing?
Even though I write mostly supernatural horror and suspense, I love writing cross-genre novels that include mystery, romance, and history, as well. My first novel, Shadows in the Mist, which is set during World War II, is very much a war novel interwoven with a supernatural mystery based on the Nazis and the Occult. There are scary moments, as well as an adventure story about an infantry platoon leader and his platoon who have to cross enemy lines to fulfill a top-secret mission. I also included espionage and conspiracy theory to drive the plot, so it's very complex. I'm a big fan of Dean Koontz who is a master at mixing genres and giving his readers a multidimensional book. That's my aim, as well. While my publisher categorizes my novel as horror, the story encompasses much more than just your typical horror novel. I've been surprised by how many readers who don't read horror have told me how much they enjoyed the book. I think of Shadows in the Mist as more of an adventure novel with a supernatural mystery and lots of suspense, and hopefully a wider audience that includes men and women can enjoy the book.
Q: Who would you say has influenced you the most?
I've already mentioned two of my influences, Stephen King and Dean Koontz. A couple of others are Robert R. McCammon and John Saul. When I was a teen, I read a good number of their books and studied how each of these four authors wrote fast-moving action and scary scenes. I modeled each of them, especially Dean Koontz. I wanted my stories to grip the reader from the first page and not let go until the last page. As an adult I got to learn from John Saul at a writer's retreat, and when I was struggling to finish my novel, he encouraged me to keep writing, saying, "Just finish the damn book!" John Saul gave me the motivation I needed to stick with my dream of being a published author. I was also greatly influenced by movies. When I was a kid, from age five on up, I used to watch monster movies with my mom every weekend. That was before cable or DVD's. I remember every Saturday and Sunday one of our local stations aired back-to-back creature features: classic monster movies like Dracula and The Wolfman and Creature from the Black Lagoon, as well as Sci-Fi movies like Day of the Triffids and Island of Dr. Moreau. I loved monsters and the adrenaline I felt being scared. My love for horror movies eventually led me to reading scary books and that opened up a whole new experience for me. Instead of watching people on screen running from monsters, I was suddenly inside the head of a character, feeling as if the monsters were after me. As a reader, I got the full visceral experience of being the hero. Reading novels also activated my imagination, and I began to dream up my own stories.
Q: Do you write everyday? How much time do you spend on your writing?
I don't write every day. I wish I did, but I'm not a full-time author just yet. I still have another career as a video editor/producer, which can be demanding at times, so I spend some weeks focused on earning the paycheck. Sometimes my personal life can offer it's own distractions, like the car needing to get fixed. Also, now that I have a novel out, I spend several hours each week focused on book promotion and corresponding with readers. I get a lot more emails than I used to. I also write a blog "Coaching for Writers" which offers tips to writers on how to be more successful. So for now I write in stages. When I'm in between projects, which is every couple of weeks, I focus on my book writing. Some weeks I get up at 4:00 or 5:00 a.m. and write for a three hours before work. When not working on a video project, I'll write all day for a week to ten days straight, writing as fast as my hands can type. On average, I probably write 10 to 15 days a month, just not all in a row. As a part-time writer once said to me, "I write in between the margins of life."
Q: What will your next book be about?
My next novel, Dead of Winter, is nearly complete. I've been writing and doing research on it for two and a half years. It is also a historical horror novel, this time set in
Shadows in the Mist of Available Now in stores!

Snowgrrl was lucky to attend Vail's 2nd annual Skadi Vail Women's Ski Fest two weeks ago. Advertised as a two-day snow goddess extravaganza featuring two full days and nights of schmoozing with like-minded women who love the snow, the event certainly met that description. Upon arrival on Wednesday night, we registered and headed towards the happy hour and raffle to benefit Pink Vail, followed by a screening of the film Between, a Red Bull Media House Co-Production. It was great to see industry reps from brands like Blizzard as well as celebrities like The Bachelor's Trista Sutter and Sarah Herron mingling with participants at happy hour and discussing their latest initiatives.
Herron recently founded SheLift to encourage girls born with physical disabilities to confront their biggest physical and emotional fears with the support of mentors and peers, resulting in increased empowerment and confidence. The Blizzard rep noted that the brand has created skis specifically designed for women, combining lightweight and performance materials to achieve less fatigue, game improvement and importantly, "more fun!" This is a refreshing change from the status quo, where manufacturers just slap a coat of pink paint on a unisex ski and sell to women.
Early Thursday morning, a yoga session (followed by giveaways of Helly Hansen base layers!) limbered us up for a day of demoing a variety of skis from local and national brands including Liberty, Atomic, Blizzard, Dynastar, Elan, Head, K2, Line, Nordica, Rossignol, Salomon, Scott and Völkl. Demo day participants were divided into groups of about five women accompanied by a female Vail Ski & Snowboard School instructor, who gave us useful tips on how the skis should feel and perform on various terrain and helped us each select the best skis for us. This experience would have been very helpful for anyone in the market for new skis.
A "wine demo" Thursday night accompanied by delicious food and another raffle capped off a full day. The Vibram rep talked to us about their new Arctic grip soles and the SUPER AWESOME collapsible, grippy Furoshiki shoes that were part of our swag bag. These shoes were by far the best swag of the event. Their "wrapping sole" design makes them super packable, great for travel, and luxurious, snug fit of the shearling boots also makes them perfect for relaxing apres-ski!
Friday morning brought another yoga session, followed a meet & greet with Olympic Gold medalist and World Cup ski racing champ Lindsey Vonn by the demo/expo village and additional guided tour/demos with instructors. I left after lunch on Friday with a bag of awesome swag full of gifts from Supergoop!, Vibram, Helly Hansen, and more, some new friends, and increased knowledge about the technical know-how that goes into designing and selecting skis. Snowgrrl hopes that Vail will organize a third Skadi Fest next year and wholeheartedly endorses this fun event for any woman who is in search of new skis, wine, or socializing.

Soundtrack review: The stand (deluxe edition) (W.G. Snuffy Walden – 1994)
"The Stand" is a 1994 American television miniseries based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King. King also wrote the teleplay and has a minor role in the series. It was directed by Mick Garris and stars Gary Sinise, Miguel Ferrer, Rob Lowe, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Jamey Sheridan, Laura San Giacomo, Molly Ringwald, Corin Nemec, Adam Storke, Ray Walston, and Matt Frewer. After a deadly plague kills most of the world's population, the remaining survivors split into two groups – one led by a benevolent elder and the other by a maleficent being – to face each other in a final battle between good and evil. W.G. Snuffy Walden wrote the score.
I remember this miniseries as it was one of the first I Stephen King adaptations I saw and it came during my most prolific SK binging period. As "Project blue" opens this deluxe release of the score, the blues like guitar instantly reminds me of the start of the miniseries, that strange, Western like setting. I actually remember the blues motifs from when I watched the mini series as they gave a sense of normality to the story and to the world. Somehow I associate this midwestern sound with Stephen King stories. The score is quite unusual as it mixes blues with rock while often ignoring the mystery or horror elements of the story.
Naturally I connect with the score best through the atmospheric pieces. "The dreams begin" also includes an almost gospel like vocal section; it's a reflective piece that puts me in a calm and dreamy mood. "Headin' west" is minimalistic ambient punctuated by sparse piano sounds and this is my kind of journey. I also enjoy the 90s electric guitar vibe of "Larry & Nadine (The Rejection)"; there are enough moments when this album feels like the instrumental sides of commercial blues and rock albums than a film score. I like the music but I am often having a hard time associating it to a story, to a movie.
Other times the Americana sound is so pure that it takes me right on a porch overlooking a dusty road. The composer focused on the journey, on the characters and their feelings and wrote a surprisingly intimate and emotional score, with minimalistic and melancholic tones, with piano or horn motifs that are warm, quiet and comfortable. I did not expect to find a heartfelt cue like ""Sorry Mister, I Don't Understand" (Tom & Nick Meet)" in this score. If I didn't know the story and heard the music first I could swear that "The stand" was a quiet Western family story; and when the sweet harmonica of "Mother Greets The Multitudes" graces my ears I am just enchanted and envious of that beautiful country side life.
I actually feel nostalgia listening to this score even if I've never been there or lived that life. It's the hypnotic ambient sound, the melancholy, the soothing motifs. This score is like a beautiful and calming dream and I did not expect tho feel this way. I did not expect to find such stunning piano motifs worthy of bigger stages. It's also the way the cues blend one into the next one like an eternally peaceful river flowing; if a cue ends on a piano tone the next one begins with the same and it's as if I am listening to two long, almost elegiac cues instead of two CDs. W.G. Snuffy Walden's music got me in its comfortable and warm embrace and it's as welcoming and addictive as a thick warm blanket in the middle of the coldest day of the year.
Just as this story represents the ultimate battle between right and wrong, light and dark so the music sometimes alternates rougher pieces with truly melodic and ambient ones. If the first CD of this release is more on the melodic peaceful side the second one concentrates the darker pieces, darker by comparison because I can't call blues guitar tunes dark. Of course I prefer the first CD and the ambient cues are my favourites and I could never walk away from a cue like "Sewing the canvas"; this right here is my sweet musical spot, my comfort zone, my 80s nostalgia.
"The stand" is an excellent score that showcases once more the talent of W. G. Snuffy Walden, a composer with a huge body of work but too few releases to show for; I am hoping for more because here be treasures. This score is a captivating minimalistic soundscape, a mix of 80s dark ambient and 90s blues that works very well and I am happy we got 2 CDs of this.

Case Coordination
If you have an employee who is struggling to reintegrate to the workplace after an injury or distressful workplace incident, he or she could be experiencing more than a performance issue. Underlying factors may be involved, and your employee may need additional and appropriate care to help them return to work.
How do you get an employee the help they need to heal emotionally and physically, so he or she can re-engage at work? As an employer or insurance carrier, there may be limitations to the support and resources you can provide. Carefully selecting a licensed therapist, monitoring treatment, and ensuring a safe and productive return to work, is beyond the scope of what most organizations can offer their employees, but it is what R3c takes pride in doing every day.
Recognizing and helping a troubled employee
Craig stood at the entrance of the company cafeteria. Contemplating what he should have for lunch? Then he spotted Angie, his counterpart in marketing, headed to the smoothie bar. "Hey, Angie!" he called. Angie slowed her pace as Craig caught up.
"Hey Craig—how are things?" she asked as they reached the smoothie bar.
"Busy, of course. But aren't we all?" he said. Angie chuckled. "Yes, that's always the way."
"Angie, I wanted to ask you about Katrina—she transferred from your department to mine about a few months ago," Craig said.
"I was sorry to lose her, but this was a good move for her. How's she doing?" Angie asked.
Craig motioned for Angie to move to a quiet corner of the cafeteria. "Well, that's the problem. She started off great. She's bright, inquisitive, and has a real feel for what we do. But a month ago she was robbed at gunpoint leaving work one night; she wasn't hurt, but the guy took her laptop and phone. Ever since that incident, she started slacking off, and it gets worse as time goes by. She calls in sick almost every week, and I get the feeling she just doesn't want to come in. I'm really disappointed because I had high hopes for her."
"I'd heard about that and reached out to her. That must have been terrifying," Angie said. "Come to think of it, I don't remember her responding to my text, and I haven't seen her around."
"She took off that week, but then came back, and I thought she was fine," Craig said. "But now, I wonder if there's been more going on." Craig shook his head. "With the marketing push for this new product release, we've all been heads down. But if she's got PTSD or something—what am I supposed to do? How do I get her help? I don't know anything about this."
"I don't know either. But you need to talk to HR—maybe they can help you approach this, or connect you with someone who can," Angie said.
Support with one call
If your employee is struggling after an incident, they might not be aware of helpful resources or how to find them. At the same time, the manager who sees an employee's frequent absences may not recognize the underlying behavioral health issues that may be the root cause. Through R3c's Clinical Consult Center, our master's level clinicians can begin the case coordination process, to help employees recover and speed their safe and successful return to work.
What case coordination provides:
- A dedicated, master's level mental health clinician with expertise based on latest best practices
- Connection of the employee with a qualified counselor in their community
- Review of counseling session notes to ensure focus centers on recovering from the distressful incident and on returning to work
- Monthly communication and coordination with the employee, counselor, and company
- Telephonic support, problem-solving, and suggestions
A successful re-engagement
"Fancy meeting you here," Angie said to Craig, coming up behind him in the salad bar line.
"I haven't seen you in a few weeks. How did things turn out with Katrina?" Angie asked.
"So much better than I expected," Craig said. "Turns out our company partners with a consultant called R3 Continuum, and they specialize in connecting employees with counselors. They even oversee the process to ensure it doesn't linger on indefinitely and stays focused on returning to work."
"Katrina started back last week and so far, it's going well and I'm making sure I give her the support she needs on our end as well," Craig said. "What could have been an unfortunate and premature end to an amazing career is turning back into a great outcome for everybody."
Case coordination—creating a win-win resolution
Our case coordination service guards against lost productivity and rising claim costs by helping your employees get the support they need, while coordinating the process to ensure it is effective in speeding recovery for return to work.
