Naomi Campbell is always nervous before fashion shows
Model-actress Naomi Campbell says she is always nervous before taking to the ramp, but she believes fear always brings out the best in her.
The 46-year-old has been working since the age of 15. But the ramp still makes her nervous, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
"I've always been nervous, although I may look like I'm super confident. I always think that little bit of fear is something you use to make you do your best," Campbell said on TV show This Morning on Monday.
The Empire actress, who plays the role of Camilla Marks in the American TV series, has advised budding models to pursue their dreams regardless of what other people say.
"Strive for your dreams and don't let anyone change the way you feel," she said.

Wonder and Ironies Abound
It's really a wonder and an amazement just how 'high tech' St. Paul's has become in the last few years. We communicate less and less on paper and more and more in cyberspace.
We've stopped printing and mailing the monthly newsletter, which, due to the uneven delivery rate of 'bulk mail' (for those of you who've never heard of this, think: 'blast email'), sometimes didn't arrive in a person's mail box until AFTER the event has already taken place.
We do send out a weekly newsletter via email, every Thursday late morning, which captures all but about 30 of our parishioners who either don't have an email account or we simply don't have it on file.
And, we have a weekly USPS mail list of a little over 30 - mostly fragile elderly or those whose health status is unpredictable or who have moved into a nursing home or extended care facility. They also get a copy of the past Sunday's sermon and a little, personal note from the Pastoral Care Coordinator.
We still use the U.S. Postal Service for personal notes and cards - especially condolence cards. There are just some things that can only be communicated in a personal, handwritten note. I'm not exactly 'old fashioned' or necessarily 'conservative' but my Momma did teach me good manners.
Oh, there was some grumbling about all the changes at first, but for the most part, people are really happy to have the information in a timely manner.
We figure there are seven different vehicles of communication we have at our disposal: 'snail mail', email, web page, Sunday parish bulletin, Parish bulletin board, Community Bulletin Boards and Telephone Tree.
The Telephone Tree is something we've saved for Very Important Things - like Stewardship Reminder Calls or to communicate the funeral arrangements of a long-time member of the church. The Vestry did the calling - about 25 calls apiece generally covered the entire parish membership list.
Technology marches on. We now have an Automated Telephone Tree Service - much like the local school system uses to communicate delays in school openings or cancellations due to snow storms.
It's surprisingly inexpensive (the competition looks keen), very efficient and highly effective. The hardest part was getting very clear about when and how often we'd use it and for what purposes and whether or not we wanted to create sub lists for, say, acolytes, Youth Group, etc. We also had to decide when NOT to use it.
The deal is that you have one full minute, but the reality is that you try to get your message in under 30 seconds. Well under 30 seconds. More like 15. People will just hang up if you go on too long. Television and radio announcements have conditioned and trained us well.
You also have to be concerned about consistency of messenger as well as the tone of the message, but once you decide that, you simply call an 800 number, follow the prompts, record your message and then send it off. I did it Wednesday night from my very own home phone.
The Vestry members who used to do the Phone Tree are Very Happy.
We've used it twice since the beginning of the year - one for "Welcome Back Sunday" and just this past Wednesday for a Covered Dish Supper and entertainment featuring the DECCOS - a local band that plays original music and includes two members of our congregation on bass and keyboard.
We didn't know the DECCOS would be available and, since we had a Very Short Window of Time to communicate that information, we decided to use the Telephone Tree.
So far, the response has been Very Positive. Enthusiastic, even.
However, we have had two complaints. The first time was after the first call to "Welcome Back" everyone to the new Program Year. When I asked the congregation for their assessment of the phone call, one young man raised his hand.
He said it was "too impersonal" and wanted a "real voice" on the other end of the phone. Actually, he later told one of the Vestry members, it would be great if the rector - not a Vestry member - could make the personal calls.
That would be ALL the personal calls on the "Parish Phone Tree".
Oh, did I mention that he's an IT / computer geek guy?
The other complaint came yesterday in response to the Covered Dish Supper tonight and the performance by the DECCOS.
He's an elderly gentleman - a faithful usher at the 10 AM Service and a most charming man. He called to say that he wanted to be taken off the Phone Tree List for these sorts of announcements. Found them too impersonal.
Oh, did I mention that he left this recorded message in our voice mailbox?
I have had other, funny stories about people who check their Caller ID, see that it's the church calling at 8:45 in the evening, and immediately think "Trouble" so they fall all over themselves to pick up the phone, only to discover my chirpy little voice beckoning them to come to church.
Other people have said that my recorded message sounds so much like me that, at first, they start talking back to me and then dissolve into laughter when they figure out that it's just a recording.
I'm thinking I should send out one recorded message sometime that says, "Hi, this is Elizabeth . . . How are you?. . . . . Oh, really? Tell me more about that . . . . . . Uh-huh . . . . Mmmm-hmmmm . . . . How did that make you feel? . . . . "
We'll call it something like "The Pastoral Phone Tree Check-in."
Or, maybe we could establish a service called "Dial-A-Priest" - where I would have the recorded message with pauses and appropriate Rogerian reflective questions. During those pauses, the caller could record their problem.
Kidding. Only kidding.
But, you know, there are some days . . . . .

There are time like the last few days when I could have used "Dial-A-Priest". I must know at least 150 clergy people, how do they all happen to be busy at the same time? :-)
Seriously, we started the electronic calling a few months ago, it works fabulously.

I'd hate to do that here and attract spammers. You can certainly write me offline - go to profile and click on my email. We found them on a google search. Here's some advice: Don't get into a year contract. The technology is still evolving and is highly competitive, so you don't want to get into a long term arrangement. The one we have is a one time charge for a one time use. There are also programs you can get for your computer that will cut out the middleperson and do it from your own home base. Check it out. We are waiting to see how this option evolves as it is the one that is most appealing to us. It's been quite an education.

There ARE some blessings in having a parish too small for bulk mail. We send out a newsletter 4 times a year and put all dates in the bulletin. You have to come to keep up.

I am very big on promoting the use of technology as a pastoral tool! But you knew that already. I recently wrote an article in our diocesan paper about faith and social media.
However, as the one who actually answers the zillions of phone calls that come to the parish where I work every day, I am firmly in favor of the human voice. Even when it is driving me crazy.
Isn't that funny?
When I got there I thought it should be automated, but for reasons far too long to post here, I now disagree.
Does that make me an old fuddy-duddy? Again? LOL!
That said, I think that the use of online newsletters, emailings and the phone messages are great. Good on you and St. Paul's for moving in this direction. That is very Pauline as I see it!
BTW - I do so love what Muthah says!

"You have to come to keep up" - there is some wisdom in that, Muthah+
You an old fuddy-duddy, Fran? Say it ain't so.

Lucy Dickinson Is Bringing Underground Culture to The Streets of Melbourne
Lucy Dickinson is a 22-year-old artist that was born in London and grew up in Newcastle, near Sydney. After moving to Melbourne to study fashion, Dickinson put down roots, and graduated six months ago from RMIT. She's a suburban punk designer bringing underground culture into the light, with garments that stunt the streets covered in contrasting reds, blacks, and whites. To celebrate her stick-it-to-the-man aesthetic, Dickinson photographed a series of punk-inspired yearbook shots, exclusively for Milk.xyz. Then, we sat down with the designer to talk more about DIY wearables, community through fashion, and, above all else, sticking to your guns and being your own artist.
How did you get into making wearables?
I started customizing clothes when I was a teenager because I couldn't find band shirts that I wanted to wear. When I got into punk I couldn't find any tee shirts of David Bowie or the Clash where I lived so I started making them. I would screen print and distress pieces to sell too, my aesthetic hasn't changed much since then I still use a lot of the same techniques.
When did you make the shift from making it for yourself to doing it professionally?
I started selling pretty early on, something I really like about making clothes is how people style it and have their own experiences in the garments. There isn't anything else I could see myself doing except maybe art, which I really incorporate into most of the clothes I make anyway. It's nice to be able to combine the two.
I find it so cool that you take your own imagery on your media page, do you usually shoot the pieces yourself?
I've worked with a lot of photographers, which has been great, but I love the control of shooting my own work and being able to capture exactly what I want. Its so much fun being able to shoot my friends in my clothes when they are really feeling it.
It's sometimes so much more authentic that way because your style of photos translate the same culture you reference in your designs. I think it would be awkward if you have these grunge designs shot in a pristine studio. Speaking of which, how would you describe your aesthetic?
I try and do punk and subculture in a new way. Someone called me punk-infused sportswear awhile ago and I was like, "I haven't done anything sporty in my life so its funny to be called me that." I did a lot of suits, which aren't that sporty.
That's so funny, it's like, "What are you talking about I'm the least athletic."
[Laughs] Yeah. It's hard to describe your own aesthetic but I would call it DIY. Like a punk that doesn't know what they are doing, you know?
What motivated your recent collection?
I was developing it for awhile from my past experiences. This was inspired by the techniques that are used for customization within subcultures. Particularly these punks that had all these secrets about customizing clothes using weird materials that you would have no idea of outside of the community. I knew a crust punk who would use dental floss to repair her pants. It was inspiring how they didn't have any money but would work around it to make these really incredible outfits. It was about developing ideas. It was hard to research because there is hardly any information online. I'm so into fashion outside of the industry and people making clothes for themselves. My club kids friends will sew an outfit in a day for that night and it would be okay if it fell apart because after two hours they would have taken it off and lost it anyways. It's such a beautiful and personal concept creating exactly what you want for yourself.
It's kind of the whole, "I don't care if I went home naked because my clothes was sewn up from dental floss anyways."
Yeah, exactly.
There's something so relatable about your work, where you can see it in your own community but it's also so relevant internationally within every sphere of youth culture.
Definitely, the need to dress up and be in this look you did all by yourself. More about being confident in that DIY look than spending money for an outfit.
What inspired your views as an artist?
I was really into Vivienne Westwood as a designer and in the way that she's created fashion out of an underground culture. My recent fave is Charles Jeffrey in London, people that create the whole vibe around club nights.
Kind of like that idea of making that cross between club wear and everyday scenarios. That boldness of wearing it in daylight.
I really want it to make clothes that sit on different genders. I was disheartened about making one of each garment and making it for size 8 models (xs or size 4 in the US). I don't want my clothes to be presented on only one size of person so all of them are really adjustable. I wanted it to be accessible as a brand and an image.
I can totally feel that from your work, instead of, "Here's this model that I had to fit my clothes to," it's more like, "Here's my friend that I wanted to see rocking this outfit and feeling good in it."
Yeah, it's so good. There's this recent shoot I've posted of two boys in my clothes and after that we kinda went from being club friends to day friends. I find a lot of my models in clubs and our shoots are always fun.
How would you define your own identity within the community that you are a part of?
I would definitely describe myself as queer. Melbourne has an amazing queer club community, everyone is so creative and super stoked on what each other is doing. It just is really the things I've been involved with more. Fashion is becoming so diverse and seeing people wearing such different things.
Fashion and queer identity is seeing people as people now and not having the body be this one definable thing.
It's exciting. I love it.
How would you describe the pattern you use in your work?
Distorted houndstooth.
I love it because it reminds me of taking something that used to be a cheesy punk pattern that was thrown away and reinventing it into such a statement piece. It gives it new life.
Yeah! I moved it across a photocopier as a reference to punk printmaking and zine culture. I wanted to put it on suits because traditionally it would be a conservative print and I wanted to take that away. Have a garment that used to be worn by conservative men and present it in a different way.
You do a lot of interdisciplinary work, how do you incorporate all the illustration and embroidery in your work and what got you into taking that approach in your practice?
I was so excited by all these techniques that I wanted to do everything! I wanted to incorporate as much as I could possibly do in the collection. I have a distinct aesthetic so everything kinda works together. Everything I tried was great, I've got 3D printing and laser cutting throughout, it was so cool I was like how can I not bring this in.
How has it been post-graduation for you?
I think it's always going to be a bit draining post uni, but at the end of the year last year I won the Australian Fashion Foundation scholarship, which comes with 20 grand and an internship overseas which is still being organized. I also got into a few fashion shows and just got back from New Zealand showing my collection. Its hard getting a job in fashion so I've been making pieces to sell. Mostly the less exciting pieces of my collection, so much of it really isn't viable to make commercially since it takes so long to make.
What are your hopes and goals as a designer?
My future plans are to work for other people for a few years and hopefully start my own label eventually.
What message would you say to yourself that you want to uphold as an artist?
Stick to your guns. I was really disheartened not getting into a big fashion show halfway through last year but they were actually so restrictive so not being in it allowed me to do whatever I wanted. They had all these rules like no swearing or no politics.
No politics? Fashion is so political.
Yeah! It was like, "Fuck you, I'm going to do what I want." If people don't like it, they don't like it. I can still feel good about my own work. It's all about trusting what you want to do.

Welcome to Wild Orkney Walks where we can take you on foot to beautiful locations and show you our wonderful wildlife. From the busy seabird cliffs, to colourful wildflower meadows and white sandy beaches, our walks cover it all. One of the many things we love about walking in Orkney is the surprise of the unknown, you just never know what you might see and where, which adds to the enjoyment of being outdoors.View Walks
My name is Megan and I am Wild Orkney Walks. My aim in setting up the business is to share my love and passion of Orkney and its wildlife with people.
I have been interested in wildlife from an early age. Growing up in the Highlands I was surrounded by nature and I have always loved being outdoors, regardless of the weather.
Prior to moving to Orkney 11 years ago, I was living and working in the Highlands (Inverness & Fort William) with VisitScotland. Working for 19 years in the information centres in Inverness, Fort William, and more recently Kirkwall has given me a good insight into the tourism industry in Orkney & Scotland.Read More
Wild Orkney Walks offers guided walks for small groups from 1 person up to a maximum of 8 people. There is no transport provided, we meet at a convenient point, but there are some walks which are accessible using public transport. If your party is larger than 8, or you would like a Bespoke walk this can also be arranged, further details can be found on our Services page. All of our walks are risk assessed and guidance will be provided on what to bring, type of terrain and difficulty level of walking.
In addition to the standard walks, Wild Orkney Walks offers other services like Bespoke Walks and Wildlife Guiding.
In addition to our standard walks we also offer a Bespoke service, where we can customise walks to suit your requirements.
I am also available for hire as a wildlife guide. I can join an existing minibus/coach tour as a wildlife guide, or if you have a tour group who would like to do a wildlife walk, then I can make arrangements to meet up with your group.
I will strive to answer all e-mails within 24 hours. If there is no answer on the phone, it's because I am out on walking tours but please leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Theater Acting Career Facts
Research what it takes to become a theater actor. Learn about the educational and training requirements, necessary skills, job outlook and salary information, to find out if this is the career for you. Schools offering Acting degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
What Is Theater Acting?
Theater actors study scripts, develop characters and then perform in front of live audiences. Theater actors may have to participate in numerous auditions before landing a role in a play. Once they have earned a part, they may conduct research to help understand and create their character. Theater actors also work closely with the director and other actors to deliver the best performance possible. They make adjustments based on the director and/or producer's suggestions. Some theater actors may be required to sing, dance or learn a new skill to perform on stage. The following table provides detailed information for this career:
|Degree Required
|No formal education required, bachelor's degree recommended
|Training Required
|Continuing training, workshops
|Education Field of Study
|Key Skills
|Creativity, persistence, dedication
|Job Growth (2018-28)

What Education Do I Need For a Theater Acting Career?
Although acting does not necessarily require a formal education, aspiring actors and actresses frequently pursue postsecondary degrees. Many universities and private fine arts schools have drama programs that grant bachelor's degrees. These programs generally include general education requirements, as well as focused studies in acting, theater writing and direction. As a theater student, you'll have frequent opportunities to audition for school productions to gain experience and build your resume.
In addition, some actors and actresses pursue advanced credentials in their field. Many graduate schools boast programs that offer master's degrees in drama or theater. These programs emphasize workshop experience and require a high level of skill, rather than focusing on basic education.
What Kinds of Skills Should I Develop?
Theater acting requires the charisma, talent, passion and imagination needed to give life to a role. You must be dedicated to the craft of acting and often willing to endure financial strain and the stress of rejection to begin a career in this field. You'll also benefit from networking skills that can allow you to build relationships that could lead to new opportunities for acting roles.
What Will My Work Be Like?
Acting often entails long, irregular hours. Your rehearsals may run very late and fall on nights or weekends. The work environment of a production often depends on the theater and its budget, so you could be working in settings that are well-furnished or quite austere. You'll be expected to invest a great deal of time to crafting your performance, knowing your lines and memorizing the on-stage progression of the production. Acting is also known for its high stress levels; you may be expected to perform your best while coping with the difficulty of landing your next role after your current production ends.
The competition for jobs in theater is very high. You may begin by taking parts in the productions offered at smaller local theaters or participate in large productions in notable theaters around the country. You'll usually find that building an acting career is a gradual process that requires you take small parts initially and move up to major roles. Because of the difficulty of finding consistent work, many aspiring theater actors take part-time jobs in other industries while establishing themselves.
What Kind of Pay Can I Expect?
Because of the disparity between the salary of actors and actresses that work in motion pictures compared to those that work in theater, wages for workers in this profession can vary greatly. As of May 2018, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that the median hourly wage for all actors and actresses was $17.54 (www.bls.gov). The top 25% of actors earn above $28.41 per hour, which is the highest level at which the BLS documents salaries. The bottom 10% of workers made hourly wages that were $9.05 or less.
What Are Some Related Alternative Careers?
Musicians and singers are related careers in the arts that do not require formal education. These performers play instruments or sing a variety of music. They may perform for audiences or record their work in a studio. Film and video editors; camera operators; and producers and directors are a few other related jobs in entertainment, but require a bachelor's degree. Film and video editors and camera operators change or adjust the images that an audience views, which adds to the telling of the story. Producers and directors are the ones who make decisions and oversee a performing arts production.

text: Perspective Stepping Out Into The World: Henry Cavendish 31 August 2018 Share: Perspective Leadership Sign up, join theOH community OH thanks forsigning up! Yes, I want to get the get the latest news about OH The world of work can be a daunting place for people with certain personality types. For us introverts, it can be intimidating to find ourselves in meetings with assertive, self-assured people. They're often quicker to the right answer, faster at finding the solution, and more confident in offering their opinion. Whenever I think of talented people who shun the limelight and thrive nonetheless, I think of their patron saint: Henry Cavendish. By anyone's standards, Henry Cavendish was a high achiever. Born in 1731, he was the natural philosopher and Fellow of the Royal Society who discovered hydrogen, or "flammable air" as it was then known. He also measured the density of the Earth and came up with a number within 1% of that calculated using modern techniques. And yet, Henry Cavendish was also very, very shy. He could only speak to one person at a time, and only if the person was known to him and male. He was especially shy of women, and had a back staircase added so he could avoid the housekeeper. It's now thought that he may have been somewhere on the autistic spectrum. All of this begs the question: how did a man with such crippling social anxiety get anything done? Cavendish rarely ventured out, and if he did, it would be to one of the scientific soirees at the Royal Society. You couldn't look at or talk to him though; if you wanted to initiate a conversation, you had to address an empty part of the room somewhere in his vicinity, and if your thoughts were deemed interesting, you might receive a high-pitched reply in return. Of course, his is an extreme case, but it's clear even from this that Cavendish was a man who wanted to communicate. He just found it extremely difficult. If he hadn't wanted to, then he would have retreated to his mansion, never to be heard from again. But because he clearly had something to offer, allowances were made on both sides. Communication between introverts and extroverts For extroverts, it's worth ensuring in decision making that everyone has an equal part in discussions; that they're sharing the limelight equally. If this is not forthcoming, then introverts have a responsibility to find creative ways of ensuring that their voices are heard, and this can sometimes involve pre-meeting preparation. One good trick is to take charge of the agenda. Good meeting protocol requires that timings should be kept, so that meetings do not overrun and that time isn't wasted. If the agenda is studied and circulated ahead of time, it's likely that a more democratic range of voices will be heard, as the focus moves from giving one person a forum for airing their views to giving everyone the shared goal of trying to reach a consensus within a set time. Asking for a pay rise There are certain topics in the workplace that are difficult for anyone to broach, whether you're an extrovert or not. This is one subject where the example of Henry Cavendish doesn't help us. At the time of his death in 1810 he was the largest depositor in the Bank of England. His grandfathers were the Dukes of Devonshire and Kent, giving him access to huge houses that he could convert into laboratories. He never had to ask for money. But we can imagine what kind of approach this man of such rigorous exactitude might have taken. It's all very well thinking you deserve more cash. The trick is being able to prove it. Most companies now are strict about having yearly feedback sessions, which give employees and employers the opportunity to review performance targets and decide whether objectives have been met. However, some outcomes can slip under the radar, especially for introverts. It can be useful to keep hold of positive client feedback and to use this as evidence demonstrating your value to the team. It's also good to keep a list of more tangible markers of progress. More nebulous criteria such as "demonstrates a good understanding of" and "showed good attention to detail" are difficult to justify, but were you instrumental in a successful website launch? Did you get some urgent copy out before deadline while under pressure? Yes? Don't let your employer forget. Different perspectives and empathy Of course, it's possible that some of the stories about Cavendish have been embellished. He did have friends, including his loyal assistant, Sir Charles Blagden. Blagden was an intensely curious man, an inveterate note-taker who acted as a conduit between Cavendish and the scientific community. He helped Cavendish out in some of his experiments and even persuaded him to go on several research trips, including one to the industrial north. It's impossible now to quantify the beneficial influence their partnership had on their work, but to me, this seems exactly the point. We often can't predict how our different personality types can mesh together to produce positive outcomes until it's happening in practice, and for this reason, it's important to step out of our comfort zones. Some large companies already have internal mentoring schemes; but if yours doesn't, or is an organisation with a relatively small number of staff, then it may be worth proposing one. Mentoring schemes are usually structured with a view to promoting staff progression, where a junior member of staff will be paired with one who is more senior. But its aims needn't be so rigid. It could be used as a way of promoting staff integration, as a way of allowing new staff members to talk to longer-serving employees. It could be used to promote cross-department familiarity, giving valuable context to a company's operations. It needn't be so official; an informal, fifteen-minute chat one lunchtime each week to discuss working practices, for example, could be beneficial. All it would take to initiate something like this would be a polite email request. The whole point of this is empathy and understanding. Once you start seeing things from the perspective of others it allows you to work better together, whether you're an introvert or extrovert. Henry Cavendish was, for all the anecdotes about his eccentricity, a person who found the world confusing, and he turned to science to make sense of it all. Once you get to know someone, you begin to empathise with them; you see the world through their eyes. Whether you're an introvert or extrovert, it's this stepping out into the world and becoming an active part of it that can help bring professional success.

Content provided by Paula Wieck, CLS Manager of Investment Research/Portfolio Manager
I had the opportunity to speak to several advisors last week about their businesses. A couple of these conversations resonated with me, particularly because this subject has come up frequently. One advisor's client was contemplating whether or not to relieve him of his services because the client had a one-security portfolio that was doing better than his advisor's diversified allocation over the last few years. As you may have guessed, the client had a domestic large-cap fund, which happens to be one of the best performing asset classes during this time frame. The client asked him, "Why am I paying you a fee when I can have better performance myself?"
I'm not going to preach the benefits of diversification as most readers likely get it. Instead, I'd like to talk about how to coach an investor like this.
First of all, the client is suffering from an emotional bias. When I talk about emotional investing, I'm not just referring to panicking at market bottoms and buying at market tops (herding). This client is emotional because he is overconfident.
Overconfidence bias is an emotional bias in which people demonstrate unwarranted faith in their own intuitive reasoning, judgments, and/or cognitive abilities, according to the CFA Institute's definition. Because this client picked a security that has outperformed most other asset classes over the last few years, he likely perceives his success as superior knowledge or skill, leading him to estimate the probability that his investment will outperform as greater than it really is.
The implications of overconfidence are the underestimation of risks and overestimation of expected returns. That can lead to poorly diversified portfolios and lower returns over longer time frames. Ouch!
In the currently advancing bull market, I've seen so many investors exhibit overconfidence as it feels easy to make money in this type of environment. But as the old adage on Wall Street goes, "Don't confuse brains with a bull market." In other words, don't overestimate your investment skill when most of your success is attributable to a rising market. Chances are the client's "skill" will do little to help him when the U.S. market corrects.
How can we, as financial professionals, coach these types of clients?
First, we should challenge them to review why they chose their investment(s) and whether that rationale still holds. Second, we should encourage them to review the long-term performance of their portfolio compared to a broadly diversified portfolio. Because this is an emotional bias, bringing the conversation to a more cognitive and analytical level should invigorate them to review their investment practices and realize that perhaps they have had more luck from a mature bull market than they'd like to admit. Unfortunately, that luck doesn't usually last.

"What have I done for Christ? What am I doing for Christ? What must I do for Christ?" Spiritual Exercises #53, Ignatius of Loyola
Our decision to come to Rio de Janeiro was a result of discernment, because Rio is a city that reflects the complexity of the regions and the world in which we live and work. On Wednesday, there was a change to the general structure of the Congress. At the end of the sending Mass, presided by Fr. Hugo Alexis Moreno, SJ, president of FLACSI, the participants left the Congress location to partake in a day of spiritual experience and pilgrimage, with the invitation to contemplate our world with the eyes of God.
While our participants traversed Rio they were animated to reflect on our whole world in its complexity and diversity. The Jesuit education delegates divided into five groups, accompanied by Jesuit scholastics and lay collaborators who helped to facilitate the pilgrimage experience. They visited three places in the southern part of Rio de Janeiro, a city of 6.3 million people.
During the pilgrimage we visited the community of Santa Marta, former property of the Colegio Santo Inácio and located just behind it. At the beginning of the 20th century, its occupation began, first by the families of the workers who were building the church and later by families from across the country. It eventually became one of the 730 so-called favelas in the city. It is a community dominated by high levels of social vulnerability and has a school at the foot of the hill which receives around 200 children up to the age of 6. The participants received a tour of the school and had a view of the Santa Marta community in its entirety. This was the first pilgrimage site.
The second pilgrimage site was the well-known Christ the Redeemer statue situated on the Corcovado hill. It is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Rio de Janeiro, from which you have a complete view of the city. On one side, you can observe the Bahia of Guanabara with its islands and surrounding area. On the other side, you can see the city between the mountains and the ocean: people, construction projects, streets, buses, the hectic life of a city that does not stop. Tourism plays an important role, as one of the largest sources of income for the city. Corcovado is an impressive place for visitors to have such a view. A place where one can contemplate the city of Rio in its contrasts, a place that manifests the city's inequalities in which we live. God, what do you want us to do?
The pilgrimage concluded in the Botanical Garden where the five groups gathered together for the final moment of reflection in a vast green space, emphasizing the importance of ecological consciousness and caring for our common home.
Today our participants left as pilgrims, not as tourists, to find themselves in the city and its voices. Each destination played an important role but the central focus was on the journey in the Ignatian style. Seeking, listening, observing, reflecting. While the tourist looks, the pilgrim engages. The participants contemplated the lights and shadows, the wealth and poverty, the heart-wrenching inequality. It was a profoundly spiritual experience. A morning of prayer and reflection, of journeying between suffering and hope, of looking at the world with the eyes of God, seeking for that which God asks of us as individuals, as schools, as a global educational network.
Participants came back a little tired due to walking around in the sun, but they returned inspired and challenged to collaborate in the construction of a more humane and just world, a world where peace and reconciliation become reality. And the question of Ignatius of Loyola resonates within us: What have I done for Christ? What am I doing for Christ? What must I do for Christ?

I finished Annabelle's "princess dress" yesterday, but I can't decide whether or not to bustle the overskirt on the sides. In the meantime, she wore it yesterday for an hour and loved it. Now Xander needs a "Knight" outfit. I will look at patterns soon and figure out how to best make one for him.
Tonight's dinner will be simple; Mac will have another hamburger (Maybe this time it will be the real Cheeseburger in Paradise) and I will have some diet meal, maybe a chef salad. No beef. I need to lose a little more weight this month to keep on track. I will fix some vegetables for us and some fruit. So we will have a nutritious meal.

"When a person has an awareness of G-d, it is as if he has rebuilt the Temple in his day" (B'rakhot 33a)
This is what is meant by building our personal Beit HaMikdash (Temple), which is a pure, holy, and simple emuna (faith in Hashem) and a deep recognition of Hashem. ""'Understanding' means the recognition of the Creator" (Bamidbar Rabba 10:1). Through our Torah study, with each word we utter in prayer to Hashem, with our every good deed, and by overcoming our evil inclination, we each build this inner Temple.
Based on In All Our Ways, Collected Discourses of Rabbi Yaakov Meir Schechter

About Ms. Yocum
Degrees and Certifications:
BA Elementary Education (1-6) BA Specific Learning Disabilities (K-12)
Ms. Danielle Yocum
Welcome to 4th grade! Please let me introduce myself-
After graduating high school in western New York, I attended Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida. Upon completing my four years, I received two degrees, the first in Elementary Education (1-6) and the other in Specific Learning Disabilities (K-12).
My love of St. Augustine, Florida through my college years had me plant my roots in the historic and beautiful town upon graduation. I began my teaching journey at a private Catholic School in the very heart of the historic district. While teaching first grade for six years, I also created and built a cheerleading program for the 4-8 graders.
Moving to the public-school system in a neighboring county, I jumped into teaching fourth grade. Of the eight years I spend there, the last four had me focused on math and science with a team-teacher teaching ELA and Social Studies.
With 14 wonderful years of teaching in Florida under my belt, I took a two-year break. Along with the passing of my father, which in itself was a life-altering event, an opportunity arose that allowed me to expand my personal education, growth, and experiences. I moved to California and began working for a luxury sports car racing team, specializing in Porsche, Lamborghini, and Aston Martin. That was truly an adventure I will treasure for a lifetime.
Missing my family on the east coast as well as the teaching profession, the move was made here, to eastern North Carolina. I moved from Northwoods Elementary School to Dixon Elemetary School (Go Bulldogs!) last year and will now begin my 17th year as an educator. Words cannot express the excitement I feel!

By Bob Frye Terry Burkhardt didn't abandon his Carbon County, Pa. home to live in his treestand last fall.Bowhunter Terry Burkhardt of Jim Thorpe, Pa., took this 654-pound black bear in November 2009 while hunting in Carbon County on the opening day of Pennsylvania's firearms bear season. It was one of the largest bruins killed last year in the Keystone State.But he did spend an awful lot of time there. That paid off in deer season, when he arrowed an 11-point buck that scored 125€‰7"8 inches. "That was after 76 hours in my stand," Burkhardt said. Leaving his stand for lunch on another day almost cost him though.Pennsylvania has held a firearms black bear season on the three days leading up to Thanksgiving for decades. And for the past four years, the state has also offered a special, archery-only bear season that for 2010 will expand to five days and be open statewide. Burkhardt had seen plenty of bears on his trail cameras over the years. So, last fall he decided to try for one with his bow. He crawled into his stand on the opening morning of the firearms season and right away could tell hunters were finding bears. He heard 12 shots within a few hours. Still, at lunchtime he decided to leave his stand and walk back to his truck for a sandwich. On his way there -- within 100 yards of his truck, in fact -- he saw what he guessed was a 250-pound bear. He started a stalk and had closed to within 40 yards when the bear winded him and disappeared into some thick laurel."I was thinking for sure that I was going to shoot that bear," Burkhardt said.The disappointment of blowing his chance mixed with the excitement of seeing the bear and prompted Burkhardt to hustle back to his stand. That proved wise, because at 4 p.m., he heard and then saw another bear coming toward him.It was a familiar -- and huge -- one. "All of a sudden I heard a twig snap and looked left and there's this big buster. He was only 10 yards away already. I could tell that it was a bear we'd nicknamed Scar, because we'd noticed on my cameras that he had a 12-inch scar where no hair had grown back," Burkhardt said. "I'd been watching him for four years."When I got a chance, I shot him and he took off like a bulldozer. He gave one grunt and just took off. I couldn't do anything but stand there and shake for 10 minutes. It was like a Volkswagen had just come through. I'm telling you it was unreal."It would get more unreal shortly.Burkhardt found his bear, tagged it and, before dressing it, took it to one of the Pennsylvania Game Commission's mandatory check stations, where wildlife officials record things like the weight and age of hunter-killed bears. His tipped the scales at a behemoth 654 pounds, or nearly double the 355 pounds of the Pennsylvania bear he'd killed with a rifle in 2006. It was a fantastic animal in what is -- in archery circles, at least -- the least well-known but potentially most rewarding fair-chase bear hunting location in the Lower 48.Everything's Bigger In -- Pennsylvania?Bryon Whipkey (in gray sweatshirt) of Wexford, Pa., a suburb of Pittsburgh in Allegheny County, shows off the 571-pound black bear he killed with a bow during Pennsylvania's 2009 archery bear season. Pennsylvania offers the opportunity to hunt some of the biggest black bears in the world. Thirteen bears killed last season topped 600 pounds and 38 weighed more than 500. Burkhardt's, massive though it was, wasn't even the biggest one. That honor went to a 668-pounder.And there are even bigger ones out there. Seven-hundred-pound animals are not unheard of -- a 707-pounder was shot illegally last fall -- and the northeastern corner of the state, known as the Pocono region, has given up six black bears that topped 800 pounds over the years. Wildlife conservation officers have handled animals in the summer that, given the right conditions, could approach 900 pounds by the fall hunting season, said Mark Ternent, the Game Commission's bear biologist.There are a couple of reasons why those animals reach such proportions, he said.First, Pennsylvania just has a lot of bears, perhaps 16,000. Hunters kill about 20 percent of those each year, enough to annually rank the state in the top five for harvests in all of northeastern North America.Indications are the population is still growing, too. Some Game Commission indices suggest that -- despite hunters recording four of the top five bear harvests in history in the last five years -- bear numbers have been increasing."Most of the available habitat has bears in it," Ternent said. "But we may be seeing increasing densities, especially in what might called the fringe of the traditional bear range."That's what prompted the commission to expand the archery bear season, and what accounts in part for the existence of so many big bears. "It's a statistical question," Ternent said. "We harvest a lot of bears, so there's lots of opportunity. The more bears you harvest, the more likely it is you're going to see trophy bears."Second, Pennsylvania offers bears a rich buffet of food choices. That allows them to really pack on the pounds before winter."Our bears aren't really tied to any one crop that can fail," Ternent said. "In Maine, for example, if the blueberry or beechnut crop fails, those bears are in trouble. That's not the case here."Our bears don't really have bad food years. If the berry crop is bad, the acorn crop is good, and if beechnuts are scarce there's autumn olive or something else. And of course there are always farm crops and bird feeders they raid."The record books prove big bears are common in Pennsylvania. A look at the Boone and Crockett Club's list of the top 10 all-time records shows Pennsylvania bruins in the No. 2, 3, 5, 6 and 8 spots.A Challenging HuntPennsylvania's best bear hunting exists on literally millions of acres of public ground open to everyone free of charge. There's no cap on the number of bear licenses sold in a year. And -- beginning this fall -- the state will have not only a three-day statewide firearms bear season but a five-day, statewide archery-only season. That's a pretty good opportunity right there. It just doesn't mean the hunting is easy, especially for archers.Pennsylvania's total bear harvest in 2009 was 3,512 animals. Just 116 of those -- slightly more than 3 percent -- were taken during the two-day archery season.Hunters, like Burkhardt, have always been able to use a bow during the firearms bear season, but the record books suggest relatively few have. The Pope and Young Club's record book shows just three Pennsylvania bears out of more than 7,000 entries. In fact, out of all the states and provinces with at least one Pope and Young bear, only one -- the Yukon Territory -- has produced fewer record-book animals than Pennsylvania.That's almost certainly due, at least in part, to a state regulation that prohibits hunting bears over bait, said Pope and Young's executive secretary, Kevin Hisey. The top record-book bear states and provinces, namely Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba and Wisconsin, all allow baiting.The fact Pennsylvania does not probably scares some hunters off, he said."I know from scanning the Boone and Crockett record books that Pennsylvania produces quite a few big bears, in terms of body weight. It's funny that bowhunters haven't stumbled onto a few of those," Hisey said. "I would guess it's simply a matter of people who are bowhunting for bears are not focusing on Pennsylvania." Hunters cope in different ways. Some, like Burkhardt, hunt from stationary stands. Others, like Bryon Whipkey of Wexford, a suburb of Pittsburgh, hunt them like they do in the rifle bear season, by placing some hunters on stand and having others drive bears by pushing through the thickest, nastiest, most inhospitable tangles to be found anywhere in the woods."There are a lot of places we drive that when you fall, you don't hit the ground. The tangles hold you up," said Tim Ulery, one of Whipkey's cousins and a man who has shot several bears in Pennsylvania and once led a group of 13 hunters that killed eight bears in three days.Whipkey was bowhunting with Ulery last fall in Indiana County in southwestern Pennsylvania when he shot a bear that weighed 571 founds. It emerged from one of those hellish thickets to step onto a gas line clearing, where Whipkey was able to get an arrow into it from just 20 yards away."It was the wildest part of my hunting career. To think that you're chasing an almost 600-pound animal on the ground with a bow, it was pretty amazing," said Whipkey, himself a still-hulking former college football lineman. "When you seen an animal that big that close, it's awesome."Room to RoamSuch bears are available to anyone, too, given Pennsylvania's massive amount of public land. The state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources has 2.1 million acres of State Forest, all of it open to hunting. State parks account for another 300,000 acres; most of them open to hunting. And the Game Commission owns more than 1.4 million acres of Game Lands open to public hunting.Those lands are spread out. The northcentral region of the state -- commonly referred to as the "Big Woods" -- has more contiguous acres of public land than anywhere else. But the northeastern Pocono region has public land interspersed with private holdings, and the northwest and southwest corners of the state have plenty of public ground too. Most are bear rich. In the northcentral region, for example, the vast majority of bears killed each year spend most of their lives on public land, Ternent said. It's just up to hunters to take advantage of the opportunities. Those who do might someday find themselves experiencing what Burkhardt and Whipkey did; the rush of taking a monster black bear with a bow."It's so exciting, because this is my life, hunting and fishing, you know?" Burkhardt said. "I always dreamed of shooting a big buck out in the Midwest or somewhere. But to turn around and have something like this happen? It was totally awesome, just totally unbelievable."

Punjab, J&K agree to start work on Shahpur Kandi Dam project
Punjab and Jammu & Kashmir have reached out an agreement to resolve issues relating to the Shahpur Kandi Dam project, proposed to be built downstream Ranjit Sagar Dam (Thein Dam) on the Ravi in Gurdaspur district. The project comes under the Indus Water Treaty, thus helping India utilise its rights on eastern rivers of the basin.punjab Updated: Mar 05, 2017 16:58 IST
Punjab and Jammu & Kashmir have reached out an agreement to resolve issues relating to the Shahpur Kandi Dam project, proposed to be built downstream Ranjit Sagar Dam (Thein Dam) on the Ravi in Gurdaspur district. The project comes under the Indus Water Treaty, thus helping India utilise its rights on eastern rivers of the basin.
Disclosing this here on Saturday, a state government spokesperson said the agreement was facilitated by the Union ministry of water resources, also a cosignatory in the pact.
Haling the agreement, chief minister Parkash Singh Badal said Punjab had always stood for equitable distribution of water resources between the riparian states and he looked forward to receiving a formal approval from the J&K government soon.
The Punjab team was led by additional chief secretary (revenue & irrigation) KBS Sidhu, while secretary, irrigation, Saurabh Bhagat represented J&K. Negotiations were conducted in the presence of secretary of the Union ministry of water resources Amarjit Singh, while J&K chief secretary BR Sharma and principal secretary to J&K CM Bharat Vyas participated in the discussion through video-conferencing.
Tagged as a national project by the Centre, it was to be built with an estimated cost of Rs 2,285.81 crore (as per April 2008 price level) and is expected to generate 206 megawatt electricity, an official statement said. The project will continue to be implemented by Punjab and its design shall be as agreed by both states. Model studies will be carried out concurrently to ensure J&K gets its mandated share of 1,150 cusecs of water.
Among other decisions, it was decided that Punjab will bear the balance cost on account of compensation for land acquisition in respect of Thein Dam, located nearly 10km upstream the Shahpur Kandi Dam.
"Punjab will also share with Jammu and Kashmir 20% of the total power generated at Thein Dam at the mutually agreed rate of Rs 3.50 per unit immediately. This is subject to confirmation of the rates by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission," the statement read.
The latest agreement essentially reaffirms the 1979 agreement and also approves the crest levels of 398.40m as agreed between the chief engineers of the two states, said the spokesperson.
A tripartite monitoring team, headed by a member of the Central Water Commission, would be constituted to oversee the work. The Punjab government agreed to pay the pending land acquisition enhancement claims expeditiously as soon as they were approved by the statutory authorities under the Land Acquisition Act, said the spokesperson.
The Punjab government reiterated its commitment to construct the balance 2.3km Ravi canal and siphon for the Kashmir Canal, co-terminus with the construction of the Shahpur Kandi Dam.
All other claims and counter claims would be resolved through the arbitration process. Secretary irrigation KS Pannu and chief engineer Harvinder Singh (retd) were also present.
The two states reached the understanding even as the Permanent Indus Commission is expected to meet later this month to discuss various issues related to the Indus Water Treaty. India had last year decided to suspend talks with Pakistan over the treaty in the wake of Uri terror attack.
The NDA government at the Centre had also decided to exercise India's rights under the treaty by increasing use of the basin river waters. India has underutilised its share of the river water until now.

I pulled out my Ladies Dancing card kit from justjohanna this weekend to play around a little.
The kit comes with a full sheet of rubber images - a whole bunch of bird "ladies" and their dresses and accessories. The dresses come in parts so you can mix and match. The kit also has patterned paper, cardstock and embellishments. They come in two different versions - vintage and bright. You can see the kits HERE
With this card, I paper pieced my skirts and when I assembled the "lady" I popped up the bottom edge of each layer to give it dimension. I also added a little Copic marker shading to the patterned paper.
I like the look and I tried to take one of those fancy sideways photos you see on other blogs to show off the dimension - but it just came out blurry - oh well...
For this one, I was playing around with other things I could do with the skirts. Other design team members created these really cute flowers with them.
Well - I made an umbrella .....?
And how about some mushrooms??
LOL - silly I know, but fun to play with.
The last card uses the bird I dubbed "diamond Lady" because of her rings. She likes the glitz...............
Thanks so much for stopping by to see my little play time cards.
Don't forget my "Gallon of Gas" shipping promotion in the Paper Garden Projects store. Any size order ships Priority to anywhere in the continental US for $4.05.
The sale ends Wednesday.
I have moved!
