Fiona Morrison
Photographed by Fiona Morrison
When purchasing something as personal as jewelry, we love supporting independent designers or brands who do away with mostly questionable industrialized practices. Vancouver-based demi-fine jewelry line Wolf Circus, with its handcrafted pieces made from recycled sterling silver or bronze and a company entirely run by women, fits the bill. We spoke with founder Fiona Morrison on the importance of creating a company that produces ethically made yet fair-priced jewelry.
Hi, Fiona! A little about yourself?
I am the owner and designer of Wolf Circus Jewelry. I currently live in Vancouver, Canada.
What was the impetus of Wolf Circus?
Wolf Circus started in 2010 while working on my Business degree at the University of Victoria. During this time I realized that there was a gap in the market for modern affordable jewelry. I felt inspired to create a line that would bring the wearer confidence and help them feel empowered during their daily hustle.
As a business owner, how do you create mindful practices for your team to follow?
Our team currently consists of 11 lovely ladies. They do everything from production to marketing and fulfilling your orders. Our all-women's team was never an intentional decision, however, it has been an incredible experience to work with such a supportive and amazing team. My advice would be not to hire people solely because they are fit for the job but also ensure that you are surrounding yourself with people who's values align with yours and who are just as hard-working as you are.
In terms of sustainability – this season we are excited to announce that our line is made using recycled sterling silver and bronze. Everything is also made here in Vancouver, BC by an amazing group of talented jewellers. We pride ourselves in making quality yet affordable pieces which will last, and offer plenty of free services like re-plating so your pieces can look amazing for years to come.
What inspires your work?
I am inspired by my grandma's old jewelry, street style, my friends, confident women, painters, sculptors, architects. Lately I have been really inspired by artists such as Matisse, Miro and Jean Arp. One source of continuous inspiration is how my friends wear and layer their jewelry. My friends and I are always on the go, and creating pieces which can easily be worn during all activities whether it be snowboarding or rock climbing to a night out with my friends. We aim to create jewelry that is sustainable and versatile.
Do you have a daily ritual that you try to keep to help you stay productive or creative?
I try and sweat every day! I think this keeps me focused at my desk and helps me burn off some of my energy. I am currently into boxing, rock climbing, spin classes or just a good fashioned run.
What do you do to slow down when things get hectic or anxious?
I put in a good tune and go for a walk with my headphones. Currently I'm listening to:

Manataka American Indian Council
Chiefs and Leaders
Abbigadasset, An Abnaki sachem whose residence was on the coast of Maine
near the mouth of Kennebec River. He conveyed tracts of land to Englishmen conjointly with Kennebis. In 1667 he deeded Swans Island to Humphrey Davy-Drake, Bk. Inds, bk. 3, 101, 1837
Moxus. A chief of the Abnaki, called also Agamagus, the first signer of the treaty of 1699, and seemingly the successor of Madokawandu (Drake, Inds. of N. Am., 294, 1880). He signed also the treaty with Gov. Dudley in 1702, but a year afterward unsuccessfully besieged the English fort at Casco, Me. He treated with the English in 1713, and again in 1717. It was he who in 1689 captured Pemaquid from the English.
A Penobscot chief, born, according to tradition, on Penobscot r., Me., in or
about 1688. According to one tradition he was a descendant of Baron de Castine,
and although Williamson, who seems to have seen him and was familiar with his
later career, is disposed to reject this story (Mass. Hist. Soc. ColL, 3d s.,
ix, 82-91, 1846), yet from Orono's own admissions it is possible that lie was a
son of Castine's daughter, who married a Frenchman, and with her children was
taken captive in 1704. Nickolar, who was related to Orono by marriage, asserted,
according to Williamson, that Orono was in some way related to old Castine;
moreover he asserts that Orono was not of full blood, but part white-"a
half breed or more." Orono informed Capt. Munsell (Williamson, op. cit.,
83) that his father was a Frenchman and his mother half French and half Indian.
He had none of the physical characteristics of an Indian save that he was tall,
straight, and well proportioned. Very little is known of him until he had passed
his 50th year. That lie embraced the Roman Catholic faith while comparatively
young, and that he was only a subordinate chief until he had reached his 75th
year, are confirmed by the scanty records of his history. Until 1759 Tomasus, or
Tomer, was head-chief of the Penobscot, when he was succeeded by Osson, who in
turn was succeeded by Orono about 1770 or 1774. These three were ardent
advocates of peace at the commencement of the French and Indian war in 1754, and
until war was declared against the tribe by the English colonists. In 1775 Orono
and three of his colleagues went, with one Andrew Gilman as interpreter, to
profess their friendship and to tender their services to the Massachusetts
government. They met the Provincial Congress at Watertown on June 21, where they
entered into a treaty of amity with that body and offered assistance, and
afterward proved faithful allies of the colonists during their struggle for
independence. Orono was held in as high esteem after the war as before; and in
1785 and 1796 entered into treaties with Massachusetts, by which his tribe ceded
certain portions of their lands and fixed permanent limits to the parts
reserved. At the time of the latter treaty Orono is said to have reached his
108th year. He died at his home at Oldtown, Me., Feb. 5. 1802. His wife. who was
a full blood Indian and his almost lifelong compainon, served him a few years.
Orono had a son, who was accidently shot about 1774, aged 25 years; and a
daughter who married Capt. Nickolar. Orono was buried in the cemetery at
Stillwater. Penobscot County, Maine, in the vicinity of the town that
bears his name.
Osunkhirhine, Pierre Paul. An Abnaki Indian of St Francis, near Pierreville, Quebec, noted for his translations, especially of religious works, into the Penobscot dialect of the Abnaki language, published from 1830 to 1844. He received a good education at Moore's Charity School, Hanover N. H. and returned to his home as a Protestant missionary. In some of his published works (Pilling, bibliog. Algonq. Lang., 539-40, 1891) his name appears as Wzokhilain, because it could not be more exactly transliterated into the Abnaki language.
An Abnaki sachem of the Sokoki, known generally as the "Sagamore of
Saco" He was credited with seeing visions and was called by Mather "a
strange, enthusiastical sagamore." His wife and child had been insulted by
the English, and he took part in the war of 1675-76 and in the burning of Saco.
He signed the treaty of Cocheco.

"This home offered more than we could ever imagine. It was clean, comfy and peaceful, with so many thoughtful amenities within." Cheri Kinnett
Purpose of A Visitor's Haven…
To help calm, comfort, and nurture the well-being of out-of-town medical patients, their caregiver, and family before, during, and after their medical treatment, by offering a peaceful ambiance in a clean, private home, strategically located near two Springfield, Oregon hospitals with affordable rent options.
We highly recommend A Visitor's Haven for patients and families…
My husband needed an unexpected "right now" surgery at RiverBend hospital last November. That was truly a time of uncertainty. A dear person in our lives knew about A Visitor's Haven and made arrangements for us to rent it. This home offered more than we could ever have imagined. It was clean, comfy and peaceful,… Read more "We highly recommend A Visitor's Haven for patients and families…"
Home-away-from-home, A Visitor's Haven deserves a 5 star rating…
In my opinion, the Haven deserves a 5 star rating. The Haven was home-away-from-home for my husband & daughter while I had surgery at RiverBend Hospital. Not only is it nicely decorated with modern touches, it has everything a person needs, just like home, including comfortable beds & washer & dryer. And it is CLEAN!… Read more "Home-away-from-home, A Visitor's Haven deserves a 5 star rating…"
The calm after the storm …
A Visitor's Haven was truly "the calm after the storm". It's a perfect place for recovery ~ fully furnished and the sun shining in is good for the soul. The mission of this Haven met our great needs and we are forever blessed and thankful.
Knowing our parents are safe and comfortable at A Visitor's Haven…
Thank you again for all your love and support. Knowing our parents are in a safe and comfortable home during Dad's recovery means so much. Janna Smith (daughter of patient), Kentucky
A restful night before surgery…so close to RiverBend hospital…
Since my surgery is this morning, Jerry and I enjoyed a quiet, restful night in this wonderful Visitor's Haven. Jerry will stay again tonight because I need to spend the night at Sacred Heart RiverBend hospital. So this is a short stay, but what a blessing to have all this comfort and space so close… Read more "A restful night before surgery…so close to RiverBend hospital…"
Truly a special place…beyond expectations…
We truly appreciate A Visitor's Haven. It has been beyond expectations! Such a warm and inviting place. My mother and I were able to enjoy a lovely evening together before her surgery today. A Visitor's Haven is so thoughtfully designed and accommodating. The patio and garden with raspberries and blueberries is a wonderful area. You… Read more "Truly a special place…beyond expectations…"
...staying at a home that is designed to help calm, comfort, and nurture the total well-being of patients and caregivers before, during, and after the patient's medical treatment!
A Visitor's Haven is already known to do all of that, and more!
Nestled on the quiet circle of a cul de sac amongst only three other lovely homes, A Visitor's Haven offers medical patients, their caregivers, and families privacy and safety in a friendly and supportive neighborhood. Located in Springfield, Oregon, A Visitor's Haven is only a few blocks from Sacred Heart RiverBend Hospital and only three miles to McKenzie-Willamette Hospital. The close proximity to the Springfield hospitals is vital when your loved one is in the hospital. Especially if you are urgently needed.
Escaping (a day earlier) from the everyday demands in their home surroundings, to indulge in the tranquility of a beautiful home filled with love, warmth, and care, guests feel the benefits when they first enter the Haven. Not having to worry about the long drive and possible traffic on the day of surgery is an added stress releaser. Enjoy the blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries bushes while sitting on the quaint patio in the small backyard. Enjoy your favorite music on Pandora (through the television), or strum the guitar, while relaxing on the comfy recliners, with candles flickering. Your choices are many while enjoying your Haven away from home. Once surrounded by the Haven's peaceful ambiance, guests quickly realize their reservation was far more than just renting a place to stay. When a patient is required to stay in Springfield after being discharged, A Visitor's Haven helps heal patients quicker than doctor's expectations.
So you know... AV Haven's (college student) housekeeper approached management stating that she she loved how A Visitor's Haven llc is helping others. In her effort to help guests, she wanted the housekeeping job to clean the AV Haven before each guest's arrival. She does an awesome job exceeding the demands of an exceptional clean Haven. This demonstrates some of the care for AV Haven guests, that comes from behind the scenes.
A Visitor's Haven is a spacious, clean 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, custom home built in 2005, available to accommodate from one to six adults. This beautiful home was purchased and designed with a mission to comfort out-of-town patients, their caregivers, and families, before, during, and after their loved one's surgery or treatments. Unfortunately it is not wheelchair accessible.
The Main Floor
The master suite located on the first floor has an adjustable Sleep Number California king bed, as well it's own computer desk. Its private bathroom includes double sinks and a soaking tub for you to relax during stressful times (with epson salts awaiting you). Two safety bars were installed in the shower for your loved one's stability while recovering.
A half-bath is located on the first floor, insuring your private usage of the master bathroom. Fresh clean linens include quality sheets and towels for six people.
The spacious great room offers you comfort with all leather, reclining furniture. You can use the large smart television, or relax in the ambiance of a gas fireplace. There is a desk with a USB hookup in both the great room and dining room, as well as one in each of the three bedrooms.
The open kitchen filled with all your cooking and baking needs, has a large pantry, a sliding door to the quaint, private patio that adjoins the dining room. The dining room table seats six comfortably and the computer desk can be used in lieu of the ones located in each bedroom, or the great room.
During warmer weather one can enjoy the gas grill, while sitting at the glass patio table, shaded by its umbrella.
The Second Floor
The second floor has a full bathroom and two good-sized bedrooms with very comfortable queen beds, walk-in closets, and your personal desk with USB hookup. One of the bedrooms has a futon that folds to a full mattress in addition to the queen bed.
Other Amenities
There is a new washer and dryer in the laundry room, and a garage to park your car with a garage door opener.
Each door has keyless locks for added security, privacy, safety, and comfort. There are smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, and carbon monoxide meter on both floors, as well as a first-aid kit, and so much more.
Since two of the Bedrooms are upstairs with its own bathroom, one person living on the main floor alone, would not feel the home is too large. At the same time, the spacious size and layout of the entire home, assures three to six people plenty of space to share.
Management can easily be reached for questions, concerns, and emergencies: 541.543.2501

Since Sept 2018, this wiki is no longer used for the course DBB100 Creative Programming for Designers.
Please follow instructions on Canvas
Welcome to Processing. you'll be cranking out creative code sooner than you think. Best of all, you'll be creating as you learn. (Ira Greenberg).
This course aims to empower the students to learn computer programming, but with a creative and design-oriented focus. The main environment used is Processing (A Java-based programming language, http://processing.org). Arduino (http://arduino.cc/) is also introduced as a platform to connect the digital and the physical.
Creative Programming belongs to the competency area Integrating Technology that enables the students to explore, prototype, create, and demonstrate innovative concepts and experiences using technology. Programing would be the first step towards integrating technology, among other steps, to approach the interactive and intelligent systems, products and related services.
We will learn programming first in a visual context by creating artistic visuals and interactive animations, and later in a tangible context by integrating sensors and actuators. The students are expected to not only gain first-hand experience with Processing programming in creating visuals, animations and tangible prototypes, but also master the fundamental programming concepts such as variables, control flows, functions, data structures and object-orientation, to build a vocabulary for communicating with software engineers.
Read it again. It says that It is used by designers ... for learning, prototyping and production.
Number of Students
Learning Activities
We will have fun with visuals and graphics (Processing). But this assignment is not just for fun, You will be also learning serious things such as variables, data structures, control flows, interaction events and some basics of computer graphics, of course, while having fun.
And your creations.

The main focal point of Tetouan, bridging the modern and old cities, is the Place Hassan 2. The original Spanish Andalucian garden was destroyed and a new square built in 1988, as an open, yet intimate square. The pavements have been decorated with Islamic motifs, and a new royal palace has been built in the northeastern corner, as well as three mosques and four free-standing minarets floodlit at night.
For generations this has been the place to see and be seen in Tetouan, so no wonder that virtually every site that has not been taken by monumental buildings has become a caf�.

The entry to the medina, the Bab er-Rouah is almost invisible in between the larger houses. The royal palace's new facade begins to the left in the photo.

I've always had bad eyesight. I remember when I was in high school I would always ask to sit in front or squint to see what's written on the board. My parents urged me to get glasses but I was too vain to do it. I thought that only nerds wear glasses.
LOL who was I kidding anyway, I was part of the school paper, joined extemporaneous and writing contests, and spent time in the library. I was already a nerd.
When I was in 3rd year high school, I finally got glasses. My grade back then was -125. No astigmatism (thank God), just nearsighted. Because for me it wasn't that bad, I only wore my glasses at home, and prioritized my vanity by day.
When I got to college, my grade shot up to -275. I wore my glasses at times, but most of the time I didn't. I used up all of my money to go to debate tournaments so even with a part-time writing job, I still could not afford contact lenses.
After college, that's the time I started wearing contact lenses. My grade became -300, still no astigmatism…and it stayed at that rate for 10 years. Ten years of half-assed partying, painful eyes during long flights and dry airplane air, limited extreme activities, et cetera. Until I decided to finally get LASIK.
I did my research and found Shinagawa Lasik and Aesthetics. Dubbed as "the #1 LASIK center in the Philippines", with over 12 million successful procedures and several celebrities under their care, I was sold. It also helped that I had a few friends who had the surgery there. They all sang praises! Talked to an awesome consultant and got scheduled.
This blog will be about my experience, with some advice on expectations and costs. Read and print this out if you ever want to get a high quality LASIK experience.
Pre-Surgery Blues
After an initial call or a few text exchanges with Q, my consultant, you will be scheduled for a screening. The LASIK surgery screening will only run you P3,000. This is to determine if you are qualified for a LASIK procedure, and which procedure will be perfect for you.
When they call you, they will perform basic tests, and then give your eyes some drops to dilate your pupil. For this one, you will have to wait around 40 minutes to 1 hour for the drops to fully "perform", then you can come back. You can have a snack or have tea at a nearby café.
The 3 most common ones are the Z Lasik, Z Prime Lasik, and the Ultra Lasik. Depending on your grade and issues, they will recommend the best one for you. Mine was Z Prime Lasik. An optometrist will test your eyes for laser sensitivity (really bright green light) and for this one, you might feel a little bit of discomfort. A few tears, but it's okay. The doctor will explain your case then, and will recommend which procedure is best for you. It's best to ask all the questions you have at this level of consultation because the doctors can really answer everything.
Expectations: You will spend a total of 2-3 hours for the entire screening process. Come at your scheduled time and then you will go through a number of queues. There will be several tests, both done by machines and doctors, so it will take a while. Bring a book or listen to a podcast or watch a movie if you want. Bring water, too.
For post-surgery recovery, I'd recommend checking in at a nearby hotel with black out curtains and room service. It's good to have a friend or your spouse/ partner with you for at least the first 2 days, but you'll be okay after that. I don't recommend going out so much for the first 2 days after, so the room service would help you get your meals sorted. I checked in at a nearby hotel for 5 days.
After your screening, you will be scheduled for your surgery proper. The top 3 Lasik classifications require an investment of P70,000-120,000. Check out credit card/ bank partners for 0% installment deals, too.
(If you don't live in Manila and like me, you will be flying in and checking in at a hotel, prepare another P30,000-50,000 for that.)
During the Surgery
Arrive early during the surgery. Maybe 15-20 minutes before your schedule. The entire process will take 3-4 hours because of the queueing and the different steps. You will wait for a bit, and then you will be moved to a room where they will give you your care kit.
Your care kit will have these items:
- Clear protective glasses – which you must wear for the first 7 days after the surgery
- Anti bacterial eye drops
- Anti inflammatory eye drops
- Saline/ fake tears eye drops
- Protective shells – which you must wear for the first 5-7 days after the surgery, when you sleep, along with an adhesive
You will be taught how to use them and you must bring this kit with you always, after the surgery. Just follow instructions and at the very end, you will be led to the pre-surgery room.
Then they will give your eyes a few drops for the anesthesia. By now, you will feel your eyes numbing, and a little enlarged. There's no discomfort here, only a teeny feeling of numbness around your eyes.
They'll call you and then you come in, they will lay you under a machine. The procedure is done with 1 lead doctor and 2 assistants. Q will be there, too. When the doctor already placed you in a certain position, they will adjust the machine. DON'T MOVE. Just open your eyes and relax.
The surgery itself is absolutely painless. There's a little suction involved, and the lights will just to their thing. There will be very little discomfort, and it's only less than 5 minutes per eye. Just follow the instructions (look at the green light) and then you'll be good to go in no time.
The light isn't blinding, it's just a basic light. In fact, laser lights at a dim nightclub are more annoying. They will give you updates; as in: 10%, 20%, 70% done!
"Congratulations, you now have 20-20 vision!" They will applaud lightly and send you off. You will be able to see enough to walk, but if it's nighttime the lightbulbs will have a little bit of halo. Don't drive, just walk or ask a friend to come with you.
Expectations: come with a friend to assist you. Tell them that it will take 3-4 hours, max 5-6 hours. Block off a date for this, and devote that day for the procedure. Doesn't matter if it's morning or night. Always keep your eye drops with you. You will need to use the antibacterial and anti inflammatory ones, two drops each eye every 3 hours, NO CHEATING! More details later.
Post-Surgery Suffering (I Mean, Healing)
After my surgery, I walked out of the building and was in the mood for salad. I went to Saladstop (that was a mistake) and order a nice bowl of good old Ceasar's. After 10 minutes, I began to experience pain in my eyes. I cried on my bowl (in public, lol) and then hailed a cab. I had my bestfriend Pam with me, who was my Lasik mommy.
Expectations: The anesthesia will start to wane on the 30 minute mark after your surgery. Go to your room directly, make arrangements for food and rest there.
You will start to feel pain—like when your eyes are too dry after a long-haul flight—or sometimes it also felt like there was a sharp pain, a sharp thing inside my eyes. At this point, you will uncontrollably "cry", because your eyes will keep producing tears.
Your eyes will also force themselves to close and you will find it difficult to focus on anything. This is okay. Your eyes have been "wounded" inside so it's trying to "recover" from the trauma. Again, you will be okay. Let the tears flow, close your eyes, listen to something to ease the boredom and lie down on your back. Relax. (I listened to some comedy for this.)
Wear your protective eye shells because like a baby, you are very likely to fall asleep after 3-4 hours of "crying".
This is the MOST discomfort you will get, and it's okay. It gets better after. Ask your friend to set your phone alarm to ring every 3 hours and make sure it's fully charged. Every 3 hours, use your eye drops – 2 drops per eye—start with the inflammatory one, then the antibacterial. You have to do this and be faithful to this schedule for the first 24 hours. After that, you can just use the eye drops 3x a day, maybe when you take your meals.
Post-Surgery Awesomeness
The recovery is awesome. After 4 hours of crying and a long sleep, you'll feel so much better. Just #trusttheprocess. Here are a few pointers:
Day 1 – After you sleep, your eyes will be able to open with less discomfort. Don't stare at anything yet, and keep the room dark-ish.
Just enough for you to walk aroud. Try not to go out, just order room service.
Very minimal phone or laptop use, limit to a maximum of 10 minutes at a time. Eye drops 3x a day during waking hours, just the antibacterial and anti- inflammatory.
Day 2-3 – Your discomfort will be lessened significantly, and you will be able to open your eyes, walk around, and even go out.
Just wear sunglasses. You can use your gadgets for up to 30 minutes at a time (recommended screen time). Eye drops 2-3x a day.
Day 4-7 – You will mostly be back to regular programming by now. If you ran out of the anti inflammatory and antibacterial drops, it's okay. Just use them until they're done.
After those drops, you can move to using the fake tears (recommended brand: Systane) because your eyes will feel dry for the first few months after LASIK. Buy at least 3 small bottles of this: keep one near your bedside, one in your kikay kit/ bag, and one extra.
- When you bathe or wash your face, close your eyes and avoid water getting inside your eyes for the first week. Pat dry with a soft towel and don't open unless it's dry.
- Always wear the protective glasses for the first 7 days. After that, wear sunglasses when you go out during the day. Your eyes will still be quite sensitive to light.
- Avoid makeup during the first 5 days of your surgery, especially ones with powdered ingredients because the pigments could get into the eyes. You can use cream-to-powder products, BB cream, and lipstick. If you get oily during the day use oil blotting paper instead of powdering your face.
- Avoid any form of eye makeup for the first 7-10 days after surgery.
- Avoid the gym or any strenuous activities for at least 10 days.
- Avoid the swimming pool or the ocean for at least 2 months.
- Might help ease your recovery: book a relaxing massage on the 2nd or 3rd day after, drink Lutein supplements, eat fish and leafy greens for better cell recovery, drink lots of water.
- Avoid drinking because it might aid in dehydration. At least for the first 7 days.
- Never ever rub your eyes and avoid touching them. If you feel like they're itchy, distract yourself.
- Limit use of gadgets and social media for the first few days. Nothing is THAT important.
A really big factor for me was having the right consultant. They will really take care of you and will be in touch. So, really HUGE shoutout to Queenie (+63 917 791 8898) for giving me such great support, as well as 3 of my friends (who had their surgeries in less than 30 days after mine).
You can get in touch with her, tell her I sent you and buy her some fine wine. She's really wonderful and I don't think I'd have the same good experience, overall, if I wasn't assigned to her.
Shinagawa Lasik and Aesthetics is located at The Enterprise Bldg., Ayala Ave. Cor. Paseo de Roxas. It's a mere walking distance from Greenbelt. Get in touch with Queenie for questions and schedules – 0917 791 8898.

Making the decision to adopt is one that brings great joy to a family. The truth is in the middle of the joy there can be questions, anxiety, and insecurities that families need to work through. Families waiting for their adopted child may need to begin a process of understanding the new family dynamic or work with a therapist to prepare themselves mentally and emotionally for the new addition. Likewise, once their new family memeber is in the home there are times when the transition does nto go as smoothly as they had hoped. That is not a sign of failure, that is not a sign that it was a wrong choice, it is a normal response to the stress of change.
I provide Family therapy, as well as, individual counseling for adopted children to help decrease the stress caused by adoption transitions.

The bane of every worker is the meeting that lasts for hours and accomplishes little. Yet, people have identified and implemented ways to make meetings more meaningful for the participants.
The bane of every worker or volunteer is the meeting that lasts for hours and accomplishes little. While some people simply stifle inner groans and tolerate whatever contortions managers, the board, or a committee wants to make, other people have identified and implemented ways to make meetings more meaningful for the participants.
Several talented managers have defined meetings as falling on a scale between rambling and unstructured to focused and structured. The goal of most of these managers is to get their meetings as far over toward the focused and structured as possible. In that vein, an effective meeting might be defined as one that:
-Takes only as much time as is needed to accomplish its goals
-Sticks to the subject
-Meets its objectives or goals
There are several practical tools that anyone chairing a meeting can use to make a meeting more effective. These tools are ones that have been suggested by top-level managers, meeting experts, association resources, and books and articles on the subject. They are intended to be practical resources that can be used immediately to make meetings more effective.
It is nearly impossible to talk about effective meetings without discussing agendas. A properly prepared agenda can have a tremendous influence on the meeting¡¦s outcome. Some agendas are more effective than others. Cyril Houle, author of ¡§Governing Boards¡¨, says that a meeting agenda should be carefully planned: ¡§The items listed should not be merely sketchy notations indicating generally what is to be discussed but should be described at such length that the board will know what to expect. The person responsible for the presentation of each item should be noted, as should the expected length of time for its consideration at the meeting. Due care must be given to keep the agenda of the board meeting from becoming too full. If matters can be handled outside the meeting, they should be.¡¨ (Houle, Governing Boards, Jossey-Bass, San Francisco, CA 1989)
Many managers recommend that the meeting agendas be as detailed as possible. Simply putting down ¡§Treasurer¡¦s Report¡¨ is too vague and allows for too many unexpected issues to be brought up during a meeting.
Another manager suggests listing only committees on the meeting agenda that have something to report. Traditionally, an agenda might list every single committee, which leaves the committee chair feeling that they have to give some sort of report, even if they don¡¦t have anything to say.
Communication between meeting attendees is important. Letting all participants see an agenda before the meeting starts helps them come prepared to each meeting. It gives them a chance to review issues before the meeting begins and even get questions answered outside of the meeting.
Meeting Calendars
A meeting calendar can help a manager running a meeting determine when reports will be given and schedule issues to be discussed. This keeps participants from feeling that every issue must be discussed at every meeting. One manager said he uses the meeting calendar to help impose discipline at meetings. While the manager may not want to forbid anything that is not scheduled, he or she should encourage participants to stick to it.
Controlled Environments
Many managers have found that they can manipulate the meeting¡¦s physical environment to have a positive effect on the efficiency of meetings. Some managers even go so far as to remove all chairs from a meeting room, forcing participants to stand so that the meeting will go faster.
Even those managers that don¡¦t take things to such an extreme note the difference in length and meeting efficiency based on when they are held, where they are held, and the amenities available.
Meeting Procedures
Every meeting must have some sort of procedure by which it is run. General Henry Robert developed meeting procedures in 1876 by adapting the rules followed by the U.S. House of Representatives. Since that time, Robert¡¦s Rules of Order have been generally accepted as an efficient way to run a group meeting.
Some people, though, may resist Robert¡¦s Rules of Order as too stifling or because they inhibit debate. However, when used correctly, Robert¡¦s Rules can do just the opposite. They are ultimately meant to ensure that the majority is able to accomplish its goals while the views of the minority are protected and heard.
A danger to Robert¡¦s Rules of Order is what Edward Scannell, director of the University Conference Bureau of Arizona State University and past president of Meeting Planners International, calls ¡§motion sickness.¡¨ He points out that not all items require motions. If participants can agree to something quickly, then they should do so and save the procedures for when they are needed.
Consent Agendas
For every item opened for discussion, someone will feel obligated to say something. However, not all items that come before a group need to be discussed. There are always routine actions that must be voted upon due to tradition, bylaws, or policies. These might include contract renewals, ceremonial decrees, setting meeting times, etc. One way to reduce the amount of time spent on these routine items is for the chairperson to develop a consent agenda.
The consent agenda is given to all participants before the meeting. When the meeting starts, any participant can request that an item be removed from the consent agenda and opened for general discussion. All other items are voted on together, without further discussion.
It is important to note that the consent agenda should be used only to save time, not to push something through on an unaware team or board. The only items that should be placed on a consent agenda are those that are highly likely to pass unanimously without discussion or amendment.
Straw Votes
A straw vote is as much a consensus-building tool as a time-saving tool. A straw vote involves introducing an issue and allowing a moderate amount of discussion. When the chairperson senses that there is a majority or consensus on an issue, he or she can ask for a non-binding¡Xor straw¡Xvote on the issue using a show of hands. This enables participants to see whether there is a consensus and how other people are voting. If there is a clear majority, the chairperson can ask, ¡§Are you ready to vote?¡¨ The straw vote can cut down on discussion time as it reveals when a group is ready to vote, often long before they realize they are ready.
Discussion-Only Items
Some group shave found they can save time by bringing up an item at separate meetings. The first time an item is brought up it is either introduced without discussion (preferably at the end of a meeting) or introduced for discussion only. At the next meeting it can be brought up for a vote without any discussion. This method allows participants to work out any problems they have with the item between meetings instead of on the spot. They can then come to a meeting more prepared and comfortable with their decision.
The reward to implementing the tools discussed here can be a more effective meeting style.

Lets talk spring please!! Its April 12th and this snow will not go away. Let's get inspired by beautiful flowers, greenery and rustic illustrations that are such fun when designing stationery.
I have been designing stationery for over fifteen years and my favourite invites always start off a little bit rustic, a little bit casual, a little bit artsy. Rustic is a popular style for any Calgary Wedding as we have such beautiful landscapes, flowers and trees surrounding us. When I say 'Rustic' I mean raw, sketchy and hand written fonts, recycled fleck paper with lots of texture, and soft brush stroke drawings. Warm twine, wood tags, torn edges, wax seals. Bright coloured leaves, soft painted petals, dripped ink splashes.
There are many ways to incorporate cool illustrations into your stationery. I usually choose the largest or more prominent piece for the main invite. Any extra cards in the stationery suite have smaller, different images that blend with the main invite. Don't forget the envelope – its always fun to pop colour on an envelope flap with a simple flower or branch of leaves.
Play with placement. Do you prefer symmetrical centered images, or off centre corner placement. Take into consideration whether the text should be centered or justified to mimic the illustration placement. Fonts are also important, and can change the look or feel of any invite depending on its shape. Curly and thick stationery will be more playful and casual than a thin, straight font. I usually try to find no more than two fonts that blend nicely with the style of the illustration. The key is NOT to do more than 2 fonts- most often the 'less is more' scenario is best! Especially if you are using illustrations. This also brings up another point: Do not choose a patterned paper with illustrations. Again, remember to keep it simple, which will result in a classic elegant look as apposed to an overly busy piece.
All of the below styles can be see in today's stationery. Probably the most popular style right now would be watercolour style, which I love. It is a little more soft and romantic, and has more creative aspects than usual illustrations. Sometimes, the messier, the more drips the better!
The styles I am going to show you include:
1. letterpress line sketch
2. vintage botany drawing
3. coloured photograph
4. whimsical graphic
5. brush water colour

Plein Air Landscape Painting and Sketching in Extremadura, Spain
The beautiful Sierra de Montánchez provides the setting for this art course. Noelle is a professional painter and experienced tutor. She is keen to share her knowledge and experience helping guests to look and interpret the landscape in a deeper more meaningful way.
We spend each day sketching and painting in landscape. We also visit and sketch in the hilltop town of Trujillo, home of the conquistadors.
Observational drawing is an important part of all the courses. I also teach a number of creative exercises which are based on art school teaching and aim to be inspirational and challenging.
The holiday includes instruction and workshops, with people doing as much or as little painting and drawing as they wish. On Days 2, 3 and 4 I start the day with optional workshops - such as choosing a subject, ways of seeing, markmaking, colour and tone, composition. The workshops are adapted to the needs of the group or individual requests.
Suitable for all levels of experience
All drawing and painting media taught
Small groups of up to six guests
10.00-14.00 : tutored session sketching and painting. Lunch. Afternoons are free to continue painting or relax in the shaded gardens. 18.00-19.30 : sketching with creative exercises before dinner....see itinerary below.....all meals (except lunch in Trujillo) included.
"If you could see the olive groves right now! The foliage old silver and greenish silver against the blue sky...In fact, the rustling of an olive grove has something very intimate about it, something immensely old" Vincent Van Gogh
Single or twin accommodation with ensuite bathrooms. All meals (except one lunch in Trujillo) included. All transport in region, we meet you at Madrid or Seville airport and return guests staying 7 nights to the airport. Choose May, September and October see Costs & Dates
We spend time in the landscape drawing and painting at Finca Acehuche. We also walk along ancient paths and caminos sketching and painting the natural beauty of the area, guests can decide how far to walk.
For beginners: Noëlle will teach the basics of observational drawing and painting. For more experienced painters: she will teach how to improve existing skills and discuss how to develop your strengths and direction of your painting. Working in a small group, Noelle gives each participant individual attention.
Art boards, easels, sketching stools, tables, basic art materials including a sketchbook, poster and acrylic paints and A1 paper are provided. I will send you a materials list when you book.
What guests say:
"My painting holiday was like nothing I'd experienced before and that's why I'd call it a Painting Retreat – it was sheer bliss. It was everything I'd hoped for, and more. From the peace and calm of the beautiful Finca, to the winding little caminos and olive groves, it was a week spent in Heaven. Noelle is an intuitive tutor and taught each of our group differently, she was patient and challenging and she encouraged us to explore our strengths and areas outside our comfort zone. I learnt a lot about art and my relationship with art"....continues Fabiola Lobo, 2019
"Did I die and go to heaven? A week at the Finca with Noelle and Richard is pretty close. It nestles amongst stone walls, boulders, wonderful, wonderful wild flowers, exotic birds and olive trees. Endless subject matter for sketching and painting. There is no village so you are out in the wild, a mile down a track from the main road. Richard and Noelle produce fantastic food which we ate on the terrace by moonlight, candlelight or in glorious sunshine. However the central part of the week was Noelle's tuition and how she guided us through skills and techniques to enrich our painting"...continues Sal Goldsmith, 2016
"The tranquility and solitude experienced at Finca Acehuche provided the inspiration for sketching and painting under Noelle's excellent tutorage. The sentinel-like granite boulders that littered the landscape in such a reverent way were very inspiring with their imposing presence on the hills, and among the olive trees, fig trees and cork oaks in the valley. A perfect setting for painterly art!" Fred Alcock, Canada, 2015
...and see more testimonials and guests' artwork.
EXTREMADURA with its fine historic towns offers an enticing slice of unspoiled Spain. It is known for its wildlife and birds come from all over Europe and Africa to breed. The intense clear sunshine and evocative birdsong mark the changing seasons. Exhuberant wild flowers with the sound of cuckoos and hoopoes in the spring and early summer. Changing colours lead to the harvesting of figs and grapes in late summer and the departure of the bee eaters and golden orioles.
The Sierra de Montánchez is an imposing granite sierra, geographically almost exactly in the middle of Extremadura. The landscape is a mixture of drystone walled fincas of olives, figs, vines, almonds, oranges and wilder, untended areas. The slopes are extensively wooded with chestnut and deciduous oaks. The lower slopes have gentle pastures for contented grazing animals. There are many interlinking paths that criss-cross over the sierra and between small, pretty villages. There are intimate and grand views to sketch and paint, it is a landscape perfect for artists, photographers, birdwatchers, lovers of botany and those who simply want to commune with Nature.
The Sierra de Gata Art courses in this region are not available during 2020.

Given the EMI models of specific obstacles (or a generic model), RDAT-Pro depicts the expected affected areas.
RDAT-Pro interacts with various aeronautical databases (including radars such as ASR and ARSR), and allows the operator to enter other items (including user radars) not currently in the database. This level of flexibility makes the process of optimizing a solution fast and efficient.
The RDAT-Pro Evaluation Process
"…with RDAT-Pro, small steps go a long way…"
No area is too big for RDAT-Pro. The following slides illustrate the area grid evaluation process using RDAT-Pro:
Step 1: Define an Area of Interest to be evaluated by "mouse clicking" a polygon:
Step 2: Select (1) the location of the radar, (2) the height above terrain of the obstacle under consideration, and (3) click the "Evaluate Grid" button.
RDAT-Pro evaluates the entire area, and colors areas RED where an obstacle of the given height is visible from the radar location and GREEN where the obstacle can be placed without having line of sight to the facility.
Step 3: Select the preferred background. Results can be presented on top of DTED or overlaid on top of Aeronautical sectional charts, as shown below.
No area is too small for RDAT-Pro. The following slides illustrate the point to point line of sight evaluation process using RDAT-Pro:
Step 4: Given an Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) model, RDAT-Pro will calculate and display the areas expected to be affected by the obstacle(s) under consideration. Affected areas can be color coded to depict different level of expected effect (radar signal distortion).
RDAT-Pro features a "mouse sensitive" display that provides context-sensitive information to the user.

An often stirring 20-member ensemble whose music was better suited for devotional and inspirational material than commercial R&B or soul, the Voices of East Harlem included lead vocalists Gerri Griffin and Monica Burress. Producers Leroy Hutson and Curtis Mayfield worked with the group, whose ages ranged from 12 to 21, and cut some material on the Just Sunshine label that didn't generate any chart action. But their 1973 LP, The Voices of East Harlem, was a superbly performed release nonetheless, and the single "Cashing In" was a cult favorite. The single "Wanted Dead or Alive" was later reissued as a 12" remixed cut and got some international dance attention. AMG.

Franciscan University & the Husch Blackwell Report test
On Friday, April 12, Franciscan University of Steubenville released a review of the Husch Blackwell report of their sexual violence policies and procedures. To say this review is disheartening only scrapes the surface of the response this review has produced.
First and foremost, it is discouraging that the administration is not accepting responsibility for their grave errors in judgement and for the abuse they enabled. Furthermore, the review only addresses instances of clerical abuse and ignores survivors from after 2014, which is a severe oversight.
This document does not cover the gross mishandling from the administration when dealing with survivors who reported, most notably with Catherine Heck, the assistant vice president of student life. As covered in Jenn Morson's interviews with survivors, Heck allegedly told survivors the school must be sure the individuals weren't bipolar in order to be taken seriously, that they partied too much, and that if they orgasmed, it was a sign of pleasure and therefore wasn't rape. Heck remains unreprimanded and within her position at FUS.
It is also deeply offensive to call clerical abuse of a student counselee a romantic relationship or to categorize certain violations as "unwanted" versus "romantic." When a power imbalance exists between an individual and a representative of Christ, there cannot be any true consent. FUS also fails to address their role in covering up for these predators and allowing them to remain in a position to further perpetuate abuse.
The review also lists only a small group of violators and is not a whole list of credibly accused clergy. Nor does the review mention those members of the clergy who covered up the crimes of their brethren. Transparency is crucial when it comes to making reparations and an incomplete list does not speak well for FUS's intentions.
If FUS is unable to admit the entirety of what they did and didn't do, then no one can believe they have truly changed and are committed to student safety moving forward. Had they taken action when reports were first made, many vulnerable individuals would have been protected from the beginning. Dinah's Voice joins in with the rest of the Franciscan community in calling for the administration to release the full Husch Blackwell report and acknowledge their shortcomings in addressing the needs of survivors.

The chaos of another fashion week is over…you made it! You're exhausted, drained and need a restorative pick-me-up.
Here at What? Magazine we don't just like to look to the obvious sources for self care all the time. Sometimes a person needs more.
In fact sometimes a person needs something that centuries ago, the Three Wise Men cottoned onto and brought as a gift to the infant Jesus; Frankincense. It wasn't because they couldn't think of a better gift, or didn't have anything else to give; Frankincense was specifically chosen as a gift because it symbolised spiritual presence and rebirth.
After feeling broken down from a particularly hectic week, I was told by a friend to head to Neal's Yard, the home of natural remedies, pick myself up some Frankincense oil and go home and burn it. So, I did…and holy smoke!
The pungent yet pleasing aroma resonates somewhere deep within and actually helps to lower the heart rate inducing an atmosphere of calm, quiet and mental peace. It switched my brain off from incessantly buzzing around and I found myself still, and able to breathe long deep refreshing breaths…instead of having palpitations and what frequently feels like fashion-stress induced mini heart attacks!
I slept like never before and awoke unbelievably revitalised and clear-headed. I shared the experience with Nora Nona, my Beauty Editor, who also had a mysterious and powerfully healing night's sleep after burning the oil.
Frankincense as we know it is a resin from the sap from the Boswellia tree which hardens on contact with the air. Its healing properties are many on both a spiritual and physical level; being a very powerful grounding oil, it's amazing for ridding one of emotional distress and for spring cleaning a disorganised, turbulent mind. I discovered that topically it's incredibly effective also!
Neal's Yard's Frankincense range harnesses the rejuvenating, firming and anti-aging qualities of the plant. It also offers a sumptuous feeding frenzy for the skin in a blend of Baobab to regenerate and moisturise, Marine Algae to encourage the production of hyaluronic acid which supports collagen production and plumps the skin, and Tri-Peptides to reduce wrinkles and firm the skin tone.
So whilst burning the oil or resin is beneficial for stimulating one's spirit…the products are wonderful for stimulating one's skin…a double whammy of goodness for inside and out!
As an essence Frankincense has been a revelation to me. After a stressful, worrisome day, I now know that tapping into the properties of Frankincense each day will help me unwind, decompress and tune out to all the irrelevant worries the materialistic world sometimes tricks us into believing are important; I will be transported to a place of stillness of simply being. Frankincense is like a trap door to another level of consciousness…one where there is clarity and knowing…and I for one intend to drift through that door.

Hi Norman,
Yes, that's exactly how I use it, and it works very well.
The only trick to it is that in order to program it using the ABB's
serial connection, you'll need to put some small wires and a switch on
the ArmExpress lite.
If you look at the Arm Express Lite, about half way up on the right
hand side, there is a box with the letters LD in it. There are also
two little holes. I soldered some wires and a switch in there on mine.
switch closed = enable programing
switch open = run
Bot board II
Questions on other types of hardware and getting it talking to the ARM CPU

Whole World Women Association is a multicultural non profit organization based in Cape Town, South Africa. It was founded by a remarkable group of refugee women, supported by South African women, who had experienced first hand the need for more comprehensive refugee services specifically addressing women in Cape Town. The organisation works to empower refugee women and children by offering a wide range of services.
The organisation started off as a women support group where refugee women in Cape Town (South Africa) could meet to discuss their issues. As the needs of many in this vulnerable group, there was a need take action to improve their situation. From this humble beginning it was formally established in 2007 as a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO).
WWWA works to empower and support the large and often overlooked community of refugee, asylum seeking, and migrant women in South Africa. These women face incredible and complex challenges in relocating and many have faced gross injustices. Our clients also face discrimination at different levels. They are discriminated as women, as refugees, as foreigners as people living with HIV/AIDS, as unemployed, as poor people, and also as children. Our women have a burden of caring for their children. Refugee women face major adjustment issues as well as trauma related stress, which is rooted in their experiences of being refugees living in a foreign country. Additionally some migrants face discrimination coming from various actors: sometimes from their own families, communities, and unfortunately also from the public, including government departments, health facilities, and the law enforcement officials. WWWA is determined to address these challenges as well as the serious problem of xenophobia within South Africa in hopes of eradicating it one day.
WWWA hopes to create and promote solidarity among all women from all walks of life throughout the country. The goal is for refugee, asylum seeking, and migrant women to experience restored dignity, increased self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-reliance. These women deserve a fair chance to re-establish their lives and WWWA works to support these women in any way possible. All programs created by WWWA programmes carefully developed to respond to the complex needs of refugees, asylum seekers, migrants, their children and families with a primary aim to create measurable positive and long lasting impacts on their lives. The organisation offers a range of services including helping them access a range of free and subsides services, educating them and supporting them in the field of women's rights, health and skills development.
Our vision is to achieve a world in which all women can enjoy equality and dignity.
We seek to make a lasting and meaningful change for people seeking refuge by ensuring their human rights upheld facilitating a smooth integration process with the local communities they stay in.
Assist all refugees regardless of race, religion, gender, health or sexuality.
Empower refugees and foster their independence and self-determination
Engage, educate and work with the community as the key to creating social change and integration.
Work from a social justice model that is committed to human rights
Value an organisational culture which is responsive to the needs and wants of refugees and involves volunteers as the heart of our work force.

With respect to sales folks, although they do fall within the minimum wage legal guidelines, they solely get paid a commission if they make a sale and, if they do, they in all probability may have sold the asset for more cash than the lender would get at an auction.
As soon as employed, their enthusiasm, pleasure, and vitality is often replaced by the new car salesperson following the lead of less profitable automotive salespeople.

Today is Tuberculosis Thursday, so our Women's History Month feature is Elizabeth Newcomb! Newcomb founded Stony Wold Sanatorium in 1901 on 1800 acres of a hillside overlooking Lake Kushaqua, just north of Brighton in the Town of Franklin. Her idea was to create a charitable sanatorium for the treatment of underprivileged young women suffering from TB. She was encouraged by her husband, Dr. James Edward Newcomb and by Dr. E.L. Trudeau, and received support from many prominent people of New York City as well as from AT&T, DuPont, Gould, Biggs, Potter, Pond, Morgan, and Rockefeller. Elizabeth Newcomb herself succumbed to TB in 1938 and was buried between Stony Wold Hall and the lake, at her request, where she "could look out over the waters of the quiet lake" Kushaqua (Algonquin for "beautiful resting place").
Stony Wold closed in 1955 with the advent of new drugs and was sold to the White Fathers Catholic Order, missionaries to Africa. It then became St. Joseph's Seminary until 1972. By 1974 the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation became owner of most of the property and the buildings were torn down. Stony Wold Hall and two cottages remain in private ownership.
Sherwood Davies, who grew up at Stony Wold, remembered that Newcomb "spent her summers at a camp on the Lake and the winters in New York City. She was transported in a straight eight Packard car and chauffeured between Lake Kushaqua and New York New York Central every spring and fall."

1. Principle of the service
2. Conditions of use
3. CERN vehicules rental
4. Procedure in the event of vehicule breakdown
5. Procedure in the event of an accident involving CERN vehicules
6. Vehicule insurance
CERN vehicles are made available to members of the CERN personnel[1] and contractors' personnel in the framework of their activities at CERN and for professional use only. Use of vehicles for private purposes (e.g. for transporting family members or for shopping) is prohibited in all circumstances, including in the framework of standby service. The transport of people or goods that have no relation to CERN's activities is strictly forbidden. CERN vehicles are available either for short-term hire or annual, renewable hire, and are allocated to the departments or to institutes.
[1] as defined in the Staff Rules and Regulations
2.1 General conditions
Use of CERN vehicles is subject to the following general conditions:
- Operational Circular No. 4 and document DSU-OF/DO/RH/6833 governing the use of CERN vehicles;
- In all cases, use of the service requires the prior authorisation of the applicant's department head or team leader (V licence),
- The driver must have a Driver ID to identify themselves in the CERN vehicle. This Driver ID is to be requested in the departmental secretariat concerned,
- Any use outside the "local area" requires a "mission order" (annual or occasional).
