What do you need to live a good life?
Certainly the answer looks a bit different for you than for me. However, I'm more and more convinced that there are very few things you really need.
Three weeks in Norway in the camper van, in a confined space with three people and a dog, have taught me the following:
1. To use every reasonably clean shower to feel refreshed again
For me, hygiene has always been part of the first ritual in the morning and I have hardly ever left the house without a shower. But if the shower in the rolling TinyHouse is so small and tight that you can hardly move, you think about every morning, if it really is so necessary. I then often opted for cat washing. As soon as we hit a campsite again and didn´t camp wild in the middle of nowhere, the shower became a must. And you know what? This wonderful feeling of getting a long hot shower when it is not available every day is pure luxury! Who would have thought that I would be so happy about hot water!
2. To just shut up, if I can not avoid a discussion and totally disagree
We sat in the car for many days and we did not have a chance to be alone. Of course there were discussions or quarrels on such days. But what do you do when you are well charged with anger but can not just leave the room for a few minutes? At home this is not a problem. Since you just go to the fresh air. In a moving campervan this is rather difficult …
Since I usually only can handle quarrels, if I can understand the view and action of the other, I can be very persistent. But I have noticed that in such a situation there must be another solution. So sometimes I just kept my mouth shut and did not go into the topics any further. This usually ended the discussion and it was quiet again. But it still worked inside of me. That's not the best solution. Knowing that it does not always have to be discussed to the end, is still helpful.
3. It´s most beautiful in the most remote places
Ok, I already knew that one, because these places attract me magically. But this trip has once again confirmed to me that it gives me the most to look at lakes, mountains and forests, nothing that needs to be done, just to be there and to enjoy. And then small miracles happen. Also working in such a place is wonderfully relaxing and stress is not arriving, even if the topic you work on may not be so nice and interesting.
4. Sheep and cows can be run free
Even though I can no longer call myself a vegan, the welfare of the animals and our planet is incredibly dear to my heart. That is why in my everyday life I try to produce less waste and to buy my food where, in my view and as far as I can see, it is produced reasonably and healthy. Since we find mainly caged animals here in Germany, I have really made big eyes when we met free sheep and cows on the roadside. There are even warning signs on the road that sheep could cross. And they do. Some sleep on the tarmac (it must be warm there) and others like the grass right on the roadside better than elsewhere.
In Norway sheep live without any supervision. Their only job is to help protect the landscape. This means they let them eat everywhere, so that the landscape remains open and not completely overgrown.
I was very impressed. Norway, you do a lot of things right. It lets my heart burst.
5. I do not have to cook elaborate dishes to be full and satisfied
The tiresome topic of food and especially cooking. In general, I pay close attention to a healthy and balanced, mainly plant-based diet. However, if you are blessed with a child who hardly likes a variety of vegetables, after 16 years you really have no energy for this anymore. For me, cooking is toilsome in my everyday life. In order to introduce a little more desire, I started to try out new recipes years ago, so at least I have a little fun. And that often ended in long cooking sessions, because the recipes were a little more elaborate.
On our trip we only had three small hot plates and very few pots. I also did not feel like picking out recipes. Therefore, we ate the same very often and above all very fast, simple dishes. And I found out that I can eat and enjoy pasta and tomato sauce very well 3 times a week.
Conclusion: I make my life easier now and cook more uncomplicated!
6. Knitting and writing is the most beautiful in this wonderfully beautiful nature
It´s not that knitting and handlettering, bulletjournaling or simply writing are not always very relaxing and rewarding for me, no: in such an environment it is a great experience. There are so many more elements involved in these activities, creating a great symphony of compassion.
As much as I like to knit on my rocking chair at home in my cozy apartment, enjoy the peace and the time for myself; as much I like to meet knitting-friends in a café for knitting and talking together; it is so much more beautiful outdoors with the view of a turquoise lake, wooded mountains and lush green meadows.
7. Swimming in lakes makes me instantly relax and calm down
In transit in Sweden, but also in Norway, I had the opportunity to swim in the wonderful waters of the local lakes. Since I'm a real frostbite and the water really should not be too cold, it was a big overcoming. But it was worth it. In Sweden, the swimming area was extremely limited, so only a few feet away from the dock for swimmers were available, but in Norway, I could just swim. Always further out. It was wonderful to feel the temperature differences the further I was out. It was so relaxing to look at the horizon and to have your head suddenly emptied.
I'm usually not the swimmer, because chlorinated bath water in the indoor and outdoor pools turns me off very much. Also, I have never learned the crawl so I swim like an old granny. In the long run that is not so nice for the neck and my back.
But I think seriously to research for a lake like this here in my area.
8. I always have the best ideas and the greatest inspiration when traveling
Travel makes my head empty and my heart full. The fact that the usual everyday life with all the many to-do's, which we usually burden ourselves, is eliminated, there is room in the head – a lot of space! And suddenly, ideas can get space that otherwise have a hard time getting through and being heard. At first, when such an idea comes up, I usually think, "Oh no … way too complicated, that's not feasible."
And then the idea matures ….. and reappears. And then it starts to be fun! ?
So in these three weeks I have also taken many ideas for my new vocation. Most of the ideas I had during the long car rides through this phenomenal landscape. Plop – and they were there! Slowly these become more concrete and I will deal with it intensively in the coming weeks and see what can be implemented and how.
9. In the future I have to take care that my holidays give me enough time for myself
In the first euphoria for this spontaneous trip, I did not pay enough attention. And missed to consider that we are all three people who regularly need a lot of time for themselves. And that means time without other people in the same room. Quiet. Peace.
This topic fell on our heads when we were able to welcome the group madness after a week. For me, this shows up very quickly in the form of increasing aggressiveness. I then shout at the others for a baseless reason and overreact. My son became more and more silent and sometimes very angry. Integrating this topic when traveling around in a camper van is a challenge. My boyfriend thought at some point, it would be best to rent a apartment for a few days, so everyone has a room in which he can be alone. Since we still had many miles to go, we dropped that idea.
But you never learn! I will definitely not forget this point in the future. Because holidays should be nice and relaxing. And if that's what it's all about, then that's just the way it is.
10. My current place of residence is not the place I wanna stay
It's no secret that I'm not happy in Wiesbaden. Of course I moved here voluntarily, without knowing the city and the area, but I had my reasons. But I already noticed in the first weeks that I will never really arrive here. It's hard to find open-minded people here who are interested in talking about something else than the weather and the neighbors. And as you may already know, I would like to cultivate deeper connections to the people around me. But this includes both sides and that does not seem to be such a trend here. ?
But my son is allowed to complete his school here and then decide for his future life. After so many moves, which he did without complaining, he earned some peace and stability.
Personally, it pulls me out into the world. My dream is a Tiny House like Wohnwagon's. To live in places that inspire me, where my best friends are scattered and who just do me good. To have the opportunity to move on and take the house with you, if I do not like the place anymore. At the same time, Norway would probably be one of my first destinations, at least in the summer. I doubt I could stand the winter there. But the summer definitely.

Good morning friends! I hope you are doing well! I've got some fun to share today...Did you have a great St. Patrick's Day?! We spent the morning yesterday making rainbow cupcakes and frosting them and making little shamrock picks with tooth-picks. I don't have a shamrock punch...I think that would be a good investment for me to make! My girls had a lot of fun...and olny suffered for a minor sugar overload!;)
Today is the LAD DT Challenge, and the challenge this month was to make a baby card and find some inspiration from pottery barn kids! Well, I did just that! I had a great time dreaming of several different baby rooms...but this one caught my eye! The thing that caught me most was the great name plate for Sophie! So here is the wonderful photo that got the wheels in my head turning....here is a link to the room on their site.
And here is my card! I loved the non-traditional baby colors! I used Basic Gray from SU, Plum Pudding from PTI, Black and some beautiful polka dot paper from SU. I cut out my flourished frame with my Silhouette. I used some nestabilities--circle and scallop circle to make a mat for my "B" from the LAD Mix, Follow Your Dreams. Very up-town baby palette, don't you agree?Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to head over to the LAD blog and see the fun things the other designers have in store for us today...it's always so fun to see what everyone comes up with!! Make it great!!

Follow Your Gut: Why You Need Probiotics + Prebiotics
These days, trendy foods are simply trendy for their looks. More often than not, when you look closer at the hottest foods, you'll find that there's a health benefit associated to their rise in popularity (think smoothie bowls and golden milk). Digestive health is a huge trend this year, and with the rise of kombucha, apple cider vinegar concoctions and more, the word "probiotic" has begun to make its way into our everyday health vocabulary. And so has prebiotic. We break down the difference between the two, why they're important to include in your diet and the best foods to buy to up your intake.
Though they sound similar and work together, probiotics and prebiotics serve different functions. Probiotics are good bacteria found in certain foods that live in your gut, whereas prebiotics are the "food" for the good gut bacteria and come from fiber. Both help establish the right balance of good and bad gut bacteria to support better health and help reduce the risk of disease.
Probiotics are awesome protectors. They fight inflammation and support the digestive and immune systems while also protecting your body from harmful bacteria and fungi. These bacteria can also create something called short-chain fatty acids, which help sustain a strong gut barrier to block harmful substances, viruses and bacteria. Where food comes in is how you feed the good or bad bacteria in your body. Studies show that a diet high in sugar and fat content helps those bad substances increase and outnumber the good bacteria that fight them. The better the balance between the two, the healthier your gut and the healthier you'll be.
Prebiotics are the fuel. These are fibers that we can't digest without good gut bacteria. They help feed the good bacteria and help them grow and flourish. Once broken down, they can become a type of short-chain fatty acids in the colon that regulate inflammation.
While you can simply take supplements after checking in with your doctor, you can also find plenty of probiotics and prebiotics in healthy foods found at any grocery store. So if kombucha isn't your cup of tea (literally), there's plenty of other options to choose from.
Probiotics: The most common source of probiotics is yogurt because of the live cultures found in it. Remember, though, watch the sugar. Opt for plain yogurt. Fermented foods like sauerkraut, pickled vegetables and kimchi are also a great source of probiotics. Make sure they're unpasteurized, though, because pasteurization kills the good bacteria you want.
Prebiotics: Prebiotics can be found in a number of foods that you can incorporate into any meal of the day. Both bananas and oats are good sources of prebiotics (morning oatmeal, anyone?) and so are legumes like beans and lentils — perfect for a hearty soup. Berries are also high in prebiotic fiber, making them a great snack or sweet treat to top off your meal.

First up, the description of the Wife of Bath in the General Prologue. I really enjoyed this description. A deaf, gap-toothed, red-stocking-wearing woman, the Wife of Bath sews like a pro, rides well, talks easily, and travels widely. Most importantly, she is well known for her love of men. She has been married five times, and that's not including the men she'd gone with when she was younger. These experiences made her quite knowledgeable about "remedies of love" (477).
The whole description of the Wife suggests sex. The red stockings and red face, the many men she married or kept company with, even her gap-toothed grin. Apparently, this physicality was "thought to be a sign of amorousness" (Greenblatt 254). Hilariously – and horrifyingly – "a gap-toothed devout virgin had to fill the space cosmetically, or refrain from smiling" (Cosman 476). That. Is. Hilarious.
This focus on sexuality carries over into the very naming of the Wife. While the other pilgrims are named by profession – Miller, Franklin, Cook, etc. – the Wife is not called Seamstress. Barbara Daniels argues that this change in the naming system "makes her more personalized", but I argue that this also highlights the importance of sexuality to the character. Even though her trade is in sewing, her true profession is Wife.
I remember the first time I read this back in high school. I was surprised by how bawdy it all was, and I wasn't even catching half of the suggestions or double entendres. Was/Is anyone else surprised by this? Do you see any other indications of sexuality in this passage? What do you think Chaucer meant, specifically, by the phrase "remedies of love" (477)?
Side Note: Do you know how many sexy women of today have a freaking gap between their teeth?!?!? Check it out.

This is a discussion on Where do families and important connections place in your lives? within the ENTJ Forum - The Executives forums, part of the NT's Temperament Forum- The Intellects category; Originally Posted by Battlelina She actually did say that to me. I think it was from the fact I was ...
Have you had problems with this sort of lopsided timing, where someone feels closer to you than you do to them? If you have, how have you dealt with it? @MsBossyPants as well and anyone else who might want to answer.
It's fine if you don't answer. My timing is closer to yours, and that tends to create some tension for awhile where people want me to feel closer waaaaay sooner than I do.
I can really only gauge who feels closer first in romantic relationships. It's hard to say for sure I have had instances where they definitely feel closer to me quicker and I have also had partners that were absolutely uncomfortable saying we were in a relationship when I was like yeah - we are dating weirdo.
That assertiveness and extroverted willingness to engage people can sometimes lead to misunderstandings. Men sometimes misread my boldness as flirtiness, and with women (mostly Fe-dom and aux) the effect is what you mention here:—they're sort of intrigued by my willingness to say what I mean (they would never do that, and sort of look to me for honest feedback.) In both cases, that can lead to their thinking that I have a much deeper interest in them than I do. They assume that because they're drawn to me, I'm drawn to them on the same level, and sometimes, that isn't the case — what you phrased as a sort of respect, but it's them feeling closer to me than I do to them.So when someone--and ENTJs tend to do this--show up and start telling the truth, they get my respect.
In a work environment where I'm the boss, it forces me to keep things professional. I tend to treat them more as fledglings it's my responsibility to nurture until they're ready to fly the nest. So I don't get too familiar, and on a personal level, keep my distance. They tend to like and respect me, but I don't let myself get involved with their personal lives. So when they do "fly the next" and move on, they tend to feel sad they're leaving, and most of the time give me the tearful "your help and support meant so much " chat. But I feel good pushing them out of the nest because I'm happy for them because it means they're on to bigger and better things. I'm not sad to see them go. Their leaving means I've done my job.
In my personal life, with friendships or romantic relationships, I'm very selective about who I "let in". You have to make the cut, and I can assess pretty early on whether or not there is future in our relationship. I think most people tend to not "pull the plug" fast enough and hang in there in romantic relationships or friendships. They sort of wait to see if things are going to change
they're not going to
I think those circumstances ^^^ are what you're alluding to. (they feel closer to me, that I do to them and they are working under the assumption that "I'll eventually come around", when the reality is that I'm already gone.) In those circumstances, I tell the truth and say it's just not working for me.
Side note: I think the above paragraph is pretty much the answer to every question in the ENTJ Relationship thread. You know ... "I've been seeing this ENTJ guy who really seemed attentive at first, but he just won't open up to me. I know he cares about me, how can I get him to open up?". Answer: you can't. He probably doesn't feel that way about you. If he really felt that way about you, you'd know it. BIG TIME. (when we're all-in, we're all-in) If the immature little weasel is stringing you along, he's doing so until something better shows up. Or he'll just keep burning you until you catch on and break up with him, so he doesn't have to be the bad guy and deal with the fall-out of your constant "but, why ..." texts. (yeesh immature ENTJs are the worst) It takes experience and growth to figure out that it doesn't serve you well to be an asshole about it.
I'm digressing a bit, but always like to post this bit of advice in threads. The best advice I ever got from my mentor:
When you're right and are polite about it, people will remember you were right.
If you're right and are an asshole about it, all people will remember is that you were an asshole.
In business and personal relationships, that ^^^ is the difference between being respected and admired, and being hated and despised.
Last edited by MsBossyPants; 05-24-2019 at 07:54 AM. Reason: typos
I waited til the ENTJs had a chance to answer, since Im (obviously) an INFP. But my husband is ENTJ and weve been together a long time, so I just wanted to offer my perspective.
My husband has no sense of being close to people based on social norms. If you are a relative and he has no respect for you, he will not feel compelled to pretend he is close to you when clearly he is not. Conversely, if he likes a person it does not really matter who that person is. He will be helpful and try to make your life better, if he can.
Here is one important thing to note, though: NTJs of both types are sort of process-driven, meaning if they feel your project or idea is worthwhile or in their area of expertise, and they can be a real help, and you seem like you could use their help, they might very well sort of take your project on and spend a lot of time and energy on it. This can lead to misunderstandings, as it does not necessarily mean they are terribly fond of you personally. Dont get me wrong, if they actively dislike you, they wont help you out unless they are expected to. But, having them take interest in what you are DOING should never be assumed to be a personal affection for you either.
At least in my experience. There are few types who take such inherent pleasure in a job well done as an ENTJ or INTJ. I have seen my husband put considerable ongoing effort into helping someone with one particular thing and then never really have much to do with them again after that. They do not get attached just by spending time with people, the way other types tend to.
Online or off, though, ENTJs can be very likeable, taking an edge off of communication that IxTJs struggle with. That's a tangent, though.
This is really interesting to me. People are not used to this. What you're talking about is a sort of--if you'll excuse the cheese--unconditional love. I can't think of a better set of words. Even though there's not that sort of closeness, you have still invested the time and energy into both the environment and the individual to help them grow to that point.
For most others in this day and age, this comes with a scoreboard attached. "I did all this for you, now I have a list of things you do for me."
INTPs are notorious for this too, for being sort of lukewarm and wishy-washy. And then we make ourselves miserable for procrastinating important confrontations and decisions. During more immature times I really wished someone else would take on that inconvenient and difficult emotional labor. Feared failure a lot, or making bad decisions, etc.
I've become a much happier person by facing my decisions as they arise, looking over my pros and cons and, honestly, taking a more ENTJ approach to handling my circumstances. Even when I've made bad decisions, the world didn't end and I could clean up my mess. Healthy people, at least, are pretty good about accepting apologies and actions to amend bad decisions.
My mom once had this sign I wish I kept: "Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from poor judgment."
I have an INTJ friend currently, and I've had close INTJ friends in the past. I have ended up befriending them from:
1: We geek out about a bunch of things and projects we have in common
2: I listen to them talk about something in passing that they say they want to do
3: I have skills that I offer to use to help them out
Here's what I'm thinking: The difference is I'm helping the INTJ. Experience is allowed to be established in a meaningful way for the INTJ. If it's MY project, it's not necessarily meaningful and definitely not personal to the INTJ. Since it's their project, it's a safe way to set up this foundation of experience by my going through different scenarios without the INTJ getting out of his or her comfort zone. If I handle it well, then INTJ and I are on to other projects.
Depending on the person, at some point in this adventure we become friends. I imagine this might be similar for ENTJs?
I have different reasons for it, but I also like supporting people in their visions and projects. I have also been misunderstood to be closer to people than I actually am from offering this support.
For several reasons (mainly a firm reluctance to comply with either herd mentality or groupthink) family is not a concept I believe in. As an xNTJ, arbitrarily automatic collectivism is just not something I can relate to. Instead, I assess individual persons based on their individual traits, merits and virtues. Therefore, the fact that I get along well with somebody has nothing to do with shared DNA. In fact, Im closer to my friends (they have been chosen) than to my relatives (I dislike them). On the other hand, professional networking is a must in order to market ones own skils.
I was sort of in my head as I interacted with new people because I said well this would be a good time to observe myself and my interactions, who I gel with and such.
What I noticed is I categorize people and their value to me.
There was a friendly guy who was essentially the first to come up to us. He was a younger and had left the company, he was venturing out on his own trying to create his own business. I liked his energy and story, we had a good conversation about the anxiety and freedom working for yourself can have.
His spouse was also there and was less friendly, she gave me a "network" vibe and I didn't talk to her. I got the feeling she was the one that pushing him to go out on his own so she could reap the benefits - she looked materialistic.
There was a co-worker who my gf has talked to me about. She was nice and friendly we talked about how I was in fact her boyfriend. She had invited me and the gf out previously to meet with her and her bf but it was bad timing so I wasn't able to make it. She seems nice and harmless and a bit silly, like a good friend for my gf.
There was another co-worker who I have seen videos of, she is actually quite funny and I liked her personality on film. When I met her I was surprised at how uptight she seemed. She seemed nice, just much more introverted then I imagined based on the videos. I had thought we'd click the most and was wrong.
The co-worker mentioned above had a bf, he and I had a good chat. He was a teacher and mainly directed the conversation about me. Seemed to be an authentic dude though, very wholesome vibe.
The person who's birthday party it was (the reason we were there) was very shy and passive. My gf had mentioned she was passive aggressive and was her former manager whom she liked as a person but not as a manager. I could see what she was talking about as she seems like a little mouse who was given a leadership role. It was weird because I felt this weird sort of attraction to her because she seemed like someone who needed guidance and to be built up but also called out for passive aggressive bs. I had a hard time figuring out what the hell that was about. Needless to say she reminded me of someone I dated lol. I can't figure out if I had a drive to fix meek people or if I like people who I know I can easily control. Or both. Eek.
Anyway, the person who I liked most was: The mother of the gal I mentioned above lol. I am currently planting a lot of stuff and her mom had this huge garden and lots of healthy plants. So I basically chatted with her for over half an hour just picking her brain on gardening tips. She was a cool lady who also made some some of the best lemon bars I've ever tasted. The things she taught me are things I've put into action this week.
In terms of real friendship potential. The first dude has the most potential. He has good energy and is a chill personality. I have a sense he has perspectives I can appreciate. If the mom wasn't from a different generation or two she'd win hands down though haha.
But that concludes the social experiment. Not sure if that illuminates the thought process of meeting new people. I guess it comes down to energy or what can someone offer but there is also a weird tendency to want to coddle certain personalities.
You wouldn't believe it at a glance--but they are number 1.
1) Everything that I do is with them in mind.
2) I do not interact with them much.
3) I will take extreme measures to try to get something critical fixed!
That said--I am a computer programmer. I want to take part in competitive and fierce business. I don't want to spend a lot of time with family. I would rather be a proud conservator then a custodial parent. I love the children--I will sit in extravagant dispositions for children. Its just not my identity to want that...
Family counts as support networks. Give and take.

Hi there - I played this game when it was Alpha/Beta and was in a "guild Lailah". I think I was either Jinjer or Jorjie in game.
I have not played since. Long story but the short version is we moved to Ecuador (from Florida) and I am settled enough to (maybe) get back into this game. I just got fiber optic cable so I now have enough bandwith to actually play online games.
All of my notes did NOT make the move and I don't remember anything else about which server or the names of my fellow players/members..... so sorry! So I am not sure if any are still playing or not.
Thank you in advance for any and all infomation you may be able to provide - I look forward to hearing more about the progress of this game and if anyone does remember me!

Shallow Canvas Storage Boxes – Despite the fact that you can easily locate storage boxes made for general functions, sometimes finding a more special one can represent a difficulty. Let's imagine that you wish to store a delicate object. For this, you'd require a specially constructed box. How and where would you locate one? If you're bothered by these thoughts then this guide is right for you. We'll go through a few of the most essential aspects that are required to comprehend to be able to locate a suitable storage box.
On the marketplace, it is possible to find photo boxes especially designed for storing photographs. Usually, these boxes are created using a paper based material to be able to protect your photographs for a more extended time. Such products are also acid-free. You will discover them comprising a large number of designs, colours, and sizes. As a result of this it is basically impossible not to find one that perfectly suits your needs.
shallow canvas storage boxes
You can also find boxes which are specifically designed to store CDs. These boxes are usually of a smaller size compared to other ones and they are able to hold around hundreds of CDs. They are usually manufactured using a variety of metal, cardboard or plastic stuff. The down side is that they don't come in a lot of colors. This does not mean, however, that they lack utility. Even the DVD boxes are extremely similar to the CD ones, however they're typically dispersed in larger sizes.
shallow canvas storage boxes
Do you want a quality storage box which perfectly suits your wine storage needs? This kind of boxes are usually made for shipping purposes but you can also get them for yourself. They are extremely resistant and durable, due to how wine bottles are often very heavy, especially in a large number. They also consist of other inserts, such as cardboards, so that they can efficiently keep all the bottles in place. The larger wine storage boxes may hold about 12 bottles.
Despite the fact that you might locate the cardboard boxes to be perfect for your holiday storage necessities, a few people might require a little more as a way to put away their Christmas decorations. The great thing is that these storage boxes come in various sizes and unique shapes. You can find boxes which are specially designed to maintain the decorations different and in place. Consider buying a quality storage box and all of your storage needs will be eventually fulfilled.

Labels for Warning
Better safety with labels
In order to prevent terrible accidents at work, fall accidents etc. and rather increase the information level in the areas where people are working and production equipment, trucks are in action or dangerous material or products are stored, you should make sure to have clear and informative signs around.
If you use warning signs, the likelihood that accidents will happen is lesser. Avery have labels for any signage purpose. Some that are yellow and instant attract attention, some that are stretchable, that you can apply on curved surfaces, some that are magnetic for metal surfaces. You can easily design and print with free Avery software. Within the software, you find various pictograms and icons, free to use.

As technology becomes increasingly integral to our lives, our demand for energy is rising. This not only affects our finances through higher energy bills but also harms the environment. One way to protect against these impacts and prepare for an increasingly technological future is to transform our homes, workplaces and social spaces into places that generate cleaner, greener energy.
The Camden Climate Fund provides grants of up to 50% of costs to install renewable energy systems and make energy efficiency improvements to homes, businesses and community spaces. This includes solar photovoltaic panels (to provide electricity), solar thermal systems (to provide hot water), boiler replacement and insulation. Please click here for more details.

The BBC has today published its "Respect at work report" making for what the Director General calls "some uncomfortable reading."
Trust and respect are two of the BBC values and yet the report finds instances of bullying a real concern, with many managers seen as "untouchable" in the organisation.
There are a number of recommendations from HR as a result of the report. Top of our list would be the actions that take a preventative approach
• The reworking of their bullying and harassment policies is to include specific example of acceptable and unacceptable behaviour
• Teams will be encouraged to discuss the values and what they mean in practice
• Reference to the values will be made more prominent by ensuring they are part of "people discussion/decisions"
But why has it taken a string of sexual harassment cases and a survey like this to reach these conclusions and implement these actions??
Great as these actions are (and they really are good), this should be the sort of thing that all organisations are doing to proactively build a culture of respect and prevent bullying claims ever arising.
Ask yourselves honestly... what would implementing actions like these cost you, in terms of time and money? Really very little.
Compare that to the average cost of dealing with a bullying case... Acas puts it at a conservative £30,000. That is not to mention the reputational damage and the stress for all involved.
Let's learn from this report – take some positive actions to build a culture of respect in your teams. Implementing even one of recommendations above will make a positive difference.
Stella Chandler and I founded Focal Point on a shared belief that a training course run in isolation doesn't work. We passionately believe there must be support both before and after the training or coaching session itself for it to make a difference. When I am not facilitating sessions with clients or looking at ways to grow the Focal Point business, you will find me in a calming yoga class...

Top 10 Blog Posts Of 2018
Am I the only one that feels that 2018 came and went in a flash? Like seriously. I still can't believe that we are in 2019 already! It feels like 2018 just started. But here we go. Off to show you my top 10 blog posts of 2018.
Before starting I want to say thank you for all of your support during my blogging journey. It has been amazing and I wouldn't be here doing what I love if it wasn't for your support. If you are new here, then welcome. Hope you stick around. You can subscribe to our email list for updates on our blog. We like to share outdoor travel guides, parenting tips, stories, blog coaching tips, and conscious lifestyle guides.
OK! Here we go!
1: Top 5 Kid Friendly Hikes in Oahu, Hawaii
This blog post has been ranking amazing on my blog and by far listing some of my most favorite hikes my family and I did while living on Oahu. We were able to explore a lot of the island with our family. In it we included a quick guide to the top 5 kid friendly hikes. These include:
You can read the entire article here or the individual guides through the links above.
2: Homosassa Springs State Park
I remember us going to visit Homosassa Springs State Park for my daughter's birthday. She had so much fun watching all of the animals especially the hippo and the manatees. It is always fun to visit Florida and the local parks. I specifically love Homosassa Springs State Park because they also do a lot of rehabilitation to injured animals found in surrounding areas which is amazing. Great way to support a park that is doing good for our wildlife and marine life.
You can read all about it here.
You can also check out all of our Florida trips here.
3: 55 Outdoor Blog Post Ideas

Diamond Head Crater didn't make it to the top ten but it was very close up there. You can also read more of our Hawaii related topics and guides here.
7: Ultimate Guide To Eco-Friendly Hygiene Outdoors

9: A Weekend In Clarksville, Tennessee
After doing an Instagram takeover for Visit Clarksville, I decided to create a blog post on all of the juicy details of the weekend. I did it more of a quick guide without expecting much of it at first but the outcomes have been great. It is currently ranking in 9th place for 2018 and I couldn't have been happier about actually publishing this article. Comes to show that sometimes we doubt ourselves or the worth of our hard work but in all reality it can be good and worth it. You can read it here. Don't forget to check out all of our other Tennessee adventures here as well.
10: Composing A Good Hiking Blog Post
As previously mentioned, I also like to create blog posts that help educate other bloggers in the outdoor blogging community. This is another article that I have composed to better guide other bloggers on how to write a good hiking blog post. I've read articles in the past about, "Guide to hiking __(so and so place)____" without any details as to how long the trail is, difficulty levels, elevation, terrain, or if we have to pay to do the hike. These are the worse. I explain in this article how to write a detailed guide, an actual guide, that your readers will benefit from. Remember that writing an article for others to read have to include quality, experience, and details. Everyone loves the juicy details of your trip. You can read all about it here. And don't forget to check out our other blogging related topics here.

Hybrid solar/wind power system with multi-compartment refrigerators
Posted by: Fabrizio Leonforte
Modified date: 10/09/2017
Hybrid solar/wind power system with multi-compartment refrigerators
Technology field of reference: Preservation, Powering
Relevant sectors: Nutrition, Food Security, Health, Environment
Availability: National
Technology Description
This solution is a simple microgrid – powered by photovoltaic panels and a wind turbine – proving energy to 7 refrigerators, each of them with 8 lockable compartments. It was installed by a local company with components already available on the Lebanese market. The electrical system is composed by 24 photovoltaic panels (260 W each one, totally 6.2 kW), a 2.5 kW wind turbine, a 40 kWh battery bank, charge controllers, inverters, isolators, circuit breakers and other devices to protect the system's and users' safety. A real-time monitoring system collects data about power generation and consumption, and share them online through a dedicated web platform. Every refrigerator has a total capacity of 700 l, thus about 85 l per each of the 8 lockable compartments. Every refrigerator was designed to have a power absorption of 350 W, and a maximum power consumption in standard testing conditions (STC) of 3,600 Wh/day. They were supposed to be equipped with eutectic plates for static cooling (i.e. to keep the internal temperature constant for some hours in case of energy shortage). Actually, these technical requirements could not be fully tested on the field. This solution is innovative because: 1) the electrical system is completely based on renewable sources, combining the characteristic of both solar and wind energy; 2) refrigerators are design to work in hard conditions, including shortage of power; 3) refrigerators have compartments to guarantee a safe and personal use to a large number of households: they combine benefits of both a community installation and a device used at the household level; and 4) the entire system is tailored to successfully integrate the loads (i.e. refrigerators) with renewable energy sources, minimizing the drawbacks.

"Since I Been Down" – A Documentary By Gilda Sheppard
Fabian's Fund is assisting with production and fundraising for the documentary Since I Been Down, directed by Gilda Sheppard. The film is being fiscally sponsored by the Northwest Film Forum.
Since I Been Down explores the complicated balance and tensions between violent crime, punishment, justice, activism, and compassion. The documentary invites viewers to take an in-depth look at incarcerated men and women, in order to better understand processes of their transformations and their ultimate role, as models for all of us on being human.
The documentary follows men and women in Washington State prisons, incarcerated between 13 and 25 years of age for violent crimes, and who are remarkably turning their lives around and creating social justice programs from within prison in spite of the controls of public life.
The Trailer
A clip from the film can be viewed here: www.jimmielewisproductions.com.

It is the softer side of glass that Anna Ehrner wishes to capture. She retrieves veils and waves from the floating molten glass, and it continues to move despite the fact the mass has hardened. Anna Ehrner is the movement. And she is looking for something that does not exist.
She kneels in the workshop with a group of craftsmen surrounding her and sketches on the cement floor with a piece of chalk. The movements are large and quick. She points and explains using her whole body. A new vase is in production and samples are coming forth. The vase is quite high and transparent purple. The form's design is typical of Anna Ehrner. A simple and clean form with a pronouced appendage. A message, a marking and above all, movement. This time the shape is of a winding, irregular clear glass mesh that creeps up the vase. This particular model is already pre-booked by the legendary Bloomingdales in New York City and will soon be given a name.
This year marks 40 years since a young and recently graduated Anna Ehrner began att Kosta Boda.
She describes her task.
-It is to produce a clean and simple form that shows what glass can offer. And then I let the glass flow freely where I dare.
She loves to experiment and is not afraid to push the limits. Sometimes she even sways too much.
Looking for something that does not exist
The driving force is not in the hands, but rather in the joy of creation and in her need to express herself. She wants to discover new things. Develop techniques. Experiment.
She has done this ever since she was a child. As far back as she can remember she has been busy building various things. Anna Ehrner is the second youngest in a family of five children. All girls.
Seemingly, Anna has inherited the best of both of them.
The parents came up with various activities to encourage Anna and when she was 13 years old she received a pottery wheel. Eventually she could sit in her basement and make those bowls and cups that she wanted to have. This is how it was with everything. If she was missing something, she would immediately try to create it. The material did not matter.
She made jewelry, wove carpets, made her own shoes and even sewed a leather jacket. She worked with textiles, leather, paper, cardboard, yarn, paint, metal as well as clay and everything else that was available.
When Anna got a little older she attented a summer course in ceramics and afterwards applied to a ceramics and glass education at Konstfack (Sweden's largest university of arts, crafts and design). She was accepted on the first try.
Vallien was strict
The head teacher of ceramics' name was Bertil Vallien.
Vallien recommended her for an assistant's position with Ann Wolf. After six months Anna knew that glass was what she wanted to work with. She had found her material and loved working in the glassworks. She was invited to stay. Newly graduated and happy, she was full of strength and creativity.
However, it all started with a disappointement.
Back then, about 40 years ago, Kosta Boda operated a number of different companies, such as the Boda miljön (environment), Boda Nova, Kostalampan (lamps) and Boda smede (forging). Now they wanted to sell Kostalampan to make way for a new boutique with self-service. They would have some competition from Orrefors who had just opened. Here, people went around with large shopping carts and plucked bargain glass themselves at reasonable prices. Kosta Boda did not want to be outdone. However, they could not find any buyers for the lamp company. If they could only produce a lamp that was a big seller it would make everything easier. CEO at the time, Erik Rosén, was a man with immense creativity. During this period, there were only male designers and he saw an opportunity in Anna.
A darn lamp
Anna was saddened and deeply disappointed. She had taken for granted that she would be working in the glassworks and wanted nothing else. Then the boss comes along and thinks that she is going to create a darn lamp. She tried to protest, but Rosén was persistent.
She would accept and decided that she would see it as a challenge instead. Up to this point, Kostalampan almost exclusively produced lamps in various types of metals. This included such lamps as Hinken and Comet, which are now classics.
Anna wanted to use other materials.
It ended up being a body of two rings made of bent wood, and between them a tight steady canvas with thick seams. The skirt or bell-shaped cup was named the Anna lamp. It was an immediate success. This was especially true in public places that always needed large quantities. Anna Ehrner had created a big seller and Ateljé Lyktan bought Kostalampan. Kosta Boda oppened a boutique with self-service and Anna had proven herself. Mr Rosén knew what he was doing.
A pause from the functional
Anna Ehrner has a proven ability for success. To create glass that appeals to the masses without ever having to compromise her own taste or intuitive sense.
A few examples of her classic successes. The "Line" glass, is a simple design with a surface-mounted glass string, which loops around the bowl in a one and three quarter revolution. The "Line" was an instant hit and everyone at the glassworks was delighted by the fact that this would guarantee at least another months worth of work. Today, the "Line" has broken all the records. It has been produced for over thirty years and has even been represented at the Louvre in Paris.
Other examples of successful glass are the "Atoll" and "Contrast" series. With their tinted veils, these also show Anna Ehrner's inventive ability. The technique of achieving this colored veil effect in the glass is her own personal innovation.
Sometimes, however, she needs to get away from the utility glass and take a pause from functionality.
One of Anna's sculptures is called "Meditation". It possesses a special ability to leave the viewers in awe. It awakens something. The sculpture consists of a round arc, approximately 30cm wide, with sections of frosted glass. The interior is bowl-shaped, like a round cradle. Within, lying completely still, rests a globe of clear glass. It sits there as though it was waiting for something. You almost need to refrain from the urge to reach out and touch the sphere. Just a little knudge to get it moving. Have it roll back and forth in its cradle. The urge is so great that the people in the glass shop had to put a sign on it saying "Do not touch the sculpture". The sign cannot be found on any other artwork.
Anna Ehrner has succeeded. She has gotten the hand to crave.

Watercolor painting, acrylic painting, oil painting, drawing – these are the typical art forms that come to mind when one talks about art. Despite its rich and long-standing history, linoleum (lino in short) art is not the art form most turn to when seeking to try something new because it looks complex. It is, however, quite to opposite. Here at Art Pazionate, we aspire to bring you exciting new experiences and lino art is one of them!
So, what exactly is lino art? Lino art is simply carving your own printing plate from a linoleum block with various carving tools. The lino printing plate is then smothered with ink and impressed onto a piece of paper or fabric (think: carving the rubbers of a rubber stamp). The actual printing is sometimes done with a printing press, but, in present day, is mostly done by hand. Lino art is one of the simplest forms of art yet can also become extremely intricate and detailed if you want it to.
Dating back to the 1800s, linoleum was initially created as floor coverings to replace expensive wood and metal blocks because it is cheaper and less time consuming to manufacture. Soon, it entirely replaced wood and metal in the field of block carvings due to the nature of its material. Linoleum is softer, especially when heated, which allows artists ease of carving and more flexibility to create intricate pieces. Despite the ease of carving linoleum allows, it can sometimes lack the character a woodcut may deliver due to its grains and angularity. Pablo Picasso started using linoleum in the early 1900s, resulting in the spike in its popularity.
Now that we're done with the 'what's, let's move on to the 'how's.
Step 1: Look for a shape or pattern you would like to replicate and trace it out on a piece of tracing paper with a pencil. Do note that the design will be flipped upon printing so you should carve the design accordingly.
Step 2: Flip the tracing paper over and retrace the lines so the previously drawn lines will transfer onto your lino block. At this point, the shape should be a mirror image of what you wish to have.
Here's where the fun starts.
Step 3: Whip out your tools and start carving! You should first carve the outline of your shape, then carve the surrounding material away. This will result in your desired shape being the only smooth surface left on the lino block. Patience is key!
Tip: never carve towards yourself for safety reasons and don't use too much strength lest you carve a hole through the lino block.
Step 4: Now that you're done carving, use an ink roller or simply smother some ink over the smooth surface of the lino block.
Step 5: PRINT. Look for a surface you wish to print the shape on, it can be a piece of cloth or a simple piece of paper, and stamp the lino block onto it.
Viola! There you have it, your own lino art.
With just these simple steps, novices and experts alike can enjoy the fun of lino art. If you are keen on being the next to experience the pleasures of lino art, join us at our 2 hour Lino Art Workshop and bring home a block that is uniquely yours!

Croatian pianist Biljana Urban drew her influences from such pianists as Elisso Virsaladze and Tatiana Nikolayeva. She plays all this music extremely well and with obvious reverence combining a deftness of touch with impeccable pacing. She has rivals for this repertoire, particularly in the case of the impromptus, from the likes of David Gross, Artur Pizarro and Radoslav Kvapil but this is a well played and well recorded disc. Any fan of piano music from the early nineteenth century will find much to admire here. © 2014 MusicWeb International Read complete review
Living just thirty-four years, Jan Václav Voříšek was born in Bohemia in 1791, but spent much of his time in Vienna where he had success as a pianist and conductor. Maybe his name would have been more familiar, but he seemed torn between a career in the world of commerce, having obtained a university legal degree, which in turn lead to a position in the Austrian Civil Service. It was this backdrop that largely restricted his compositions to the last six years of his frail life. Roughly contemporary to Schubert, and in many ways writing for the piano in a similar mode, the Six Impromptus are lyric pieces that could have benefitted with some contrasting sections of a dramatic nature, particularly when the work extends past the forty minute mark. Added to which the final four are all marked Allegretto, which I suppose points to Voříšek's intention for each to be performed as stand-alone pieces. The Fantaise was composed over a period of years, having originally dated from 1817, it was eventually finished and published in 1822. From an academic point of view it is excellently constructed, but you have the feeling of a composer still looking for a greater freedom of expression. The Sonata, published just before his death in 1825, is a child born of Beethoven, the opening movement a powerful statement; the Scherzo jagged and thrustful, while the finale just lacks the gravity needed to round off a major score. The Yugoslav-born soloist, Biljana Urban, has the nimble fingers to make light of pages covered with right hand tracery, and I will look forward to discovering more in her future volumes. The sound quality is pleasing in texture. © 2014 David's Review Corner

By Tim
Boulder City, NV

Great Bag
This bag has plenty of room for all my products that I need traveling to my next detail. You also add that look of professionalism and more organized in front of your client. I do plan on ordering a couple more for my detailer friends, makes a great gift.
By Steve
February 28, 2019
Decent bag
These bags are pretty good. You can fit quite a bit in one, which makes life easier - especially if you are a mobile detailer. Not perfect, but the issues are pretty minor.
ProsGood amount of storage space Professional appearance
ConsHandle difficult to attach - holes didn't quite line up Bottom of upper section a bit flimsy, heavy items will sink it into the lower section

Poor quality control. 2 snaps weren't crimped properly. It'll will be easier to buy a snap kit and repair it myself than to send it back.
ProsAttractive functional design
Cons2 of the snaps were improperly crimped. One fell off and the other was smashed.
By Scott

Great bag
I really like this carry it all bag from Autogeek. It could be a bit larger though but it does work well for my needs and it fits nicely in my Mini's hatchback which is a plus for me. All the materials are of good quality and the structure is strong. The red and black color was appealing to me also. Highly recommend this bag.

Just what I needed
I'm using this bag to store the supplies needed to do reverse osmosis filter changes. This bag has all the pockets and compartments to fit in everything I may need to do a service call. Its sturdy, well made and easy to carry.

Auto geek bag
Bought this bag for my cordless flex polisher and it worked out great. Charger and battery's fit perfectly in the bottom compartment, polisher was a little tight up top but it fit. Hardware to install handle wasn't great and the holes where a little off. I would definitely buy another bag.
ProsPlenty of room Great bottom compartment Plenty of pockets Sturdy bag
ConsHardware for handle assembly

Bag quality was not there.
I'm still using my old bag.
ProsNone yet.
ConsSnaps wouldn't snap together - had to use pliers. The Velcro center divider doesn't hold the liquid products up, falls down on the micro fiber towels. No way would it hold my buffer

Great bag!
This is a great bag for all of your auto supplies. Very well made and durable to hold everything you need and in an orderly fashion! Different compartments make it an easy access to your items! It was a birthday present and one that was really l8ked. Auto Gees has great service!

Great Bag
I needed another bag to hold 2nd DA with 3 inch backing plate and accessories. Fits well.
ProsSize, construction, fairly easy to attach bar/handle. Also the exterior pockets are very useful.
ConsOnly a slight con on the one I received. The screw holes in the fabric didn���"�t line up exactly with the holes underneath in the hard siding when attaching the metal handle. It took a little manuevering to get them lined up but nothing major.

A little smaller than expected
After hearing I could fit towels, spray bottles, polishes AND a polisher i was excited to say the least. Unfortunately it only holds 16 once bottles, and the divider makes the top compartment a little shallow. Still a great bag that's built too last. But I think it's advertised as being much larger
ProsGreat quality,
ConsToo shallow for most bottles to stand upright. The bags legs are tho close to the center of the bag, making it wasn't to topple over.

Has design problems
The build quality of this bad isn't bad. The handle is flimsy, but other materials and workmanship are decent. That's where the good ends. The bad has several design issues: 1) The plastic runners on the bottom run lengthwise and are too close to the center of the bag. This leads to poor balance making the bag want to tip over when on the ground. Putting the runners the short way, or using a full plastic bottom (ala FatMax) would be an improvement. 2) None of the pockets will hold 32 oz bottles. The large pockets are even too tight for rectangular 16 oz bottles. It takes two hands to put a rectangular 16 oz bottle into a pocket. Why can't the pockets be made pleated with elastic? 3) The divided central compartment is nice, but the top half has limited depth which means you can only store very small bottles of product in there.
ProsDecent build quality.
ConsFlimsy handle. Design issues.

Terrific Way to Organize and Transport Your Detailing Supplies
I have managed to place over 20 pounds of waxes, sealants, glass cleaners, vinyl and rubber cleaners, applicator pads, etc. plus a dozen large microfiber towels and numerous small tools into and onto the sides of this case. It is stuffed, but I can still easily get at what I want without unloading a bunch first and it sits on the floor or table nicely without tipping over if properly loaded.
ProsMany organizing options, flexible, both interior and the many side pockets on the exterior Durable and sturdy Nice shoulder strap for transport

This Detailer bag fits all
I received this as a gift from my Son on Fathers day , I was very pleased with the sturdy construction of this bag. It has many compartments for various bottles and brushes, I have a Rupes polisher and it also fits inside with my materials and buffing pads.
ProsMultiple compartments for all of your detailing materials, Fits many polisher sizes, convenient padded carrying strap and handle. Keeps all of the detailing materials organized and easy to find. Velcro cover keeps it all in and protected from dust & debris and the sturdy construction makes this a great addition to my auto detailing collection.
ConsHaven't had any problems with this Detailing bag.

Detailers bag
Good bag overall. I wanted it for my polishers. The copy said they bag would hold polishers and that's the main reason I bought it. Slightly disappointed the 3401 didn't quite fit.
ProsDivider for towels or pads
ConsFLEX 3401 doesn't quite fit
By Pat

I should have paid attention to the dimensions. Won't fit half of my stuff in it. I need to remove the handle from my polisher to even get it in the bag. I'll probably try the larger bag next time.
By Derek Jones
May 2, 2013
Nice bag but...
I received my bag and noticed the overall quality was very good. Plenty of pockets and storage compartments. My excitement quickly turned into disappointment, however, when I realized that the pockets were a little too small for my Detailers Pro 32 oz. product bottles. Now it's practically useless to me because none of my product bottles fit in the pockets. Overall, it's a nice bag but that slight oversight just ruined my day.
By Joseph
February 13, 2013
The bag looks nice, but after putting items in it I found it wants to tip over. I've been trying to counter the weight of the bottles with the polisher, but have found a good way to arrange things to keep it sturdy.
By Alan
March 8, 2012
Has room for almost everything
I agree with pretty much everyone else who rated this bag. It fits almost everything one would need to detail a car. I wish it were a little deeper to fit more towels and mitts, not to mention interior car care products. However, it does organize everything so it is not laying out all over the garage or on shelves.
By Anthony
November 11, 2011
Perfect sized bag!
I love my Autogeek bag! It fits everything I need to go on site and detail a car. I can fit my polisher inside with a selection of pads. I've got an interior detailing kit which fits perfectly in the compartment at the bottom along with my wheel cleaning brush. The exterior pockets are the perfect size for my products and there are enough of them to really round out whatever you need to finish a job. Other than a wash bucket and a vacuum, this bag really does fit just about everything you need to do a full detail on a car! It is awesome and stylish at the same time!

September 11, 2011
Not worth the $$
Title says it all!!! To small, color fades after time, fits only 16oz spray bottles on the outside and the snap on button inside the bag fals apart from the material leaving all your products falling to the side. Wouldn't buy this bag again!!!

This bag is great! Holds the porter cable, XMT bottles, brushes, pads, etc! And the best part is instead of me walking over with a bunch of boxes now I carry this bag and it looks so much more professional... plus it looks the part and is pretty tough! Definitely a must have!
By Amy

I love this THING!
This is such a great product! I have been lugging my stuff around in buckets and crates forever now, and decided to step up my game. This is one of the only detailing bags I found, and it really is awesome. The only problem is the fact its a bit small, but I am just going to buy another one now!

By Keith

A must have
I wet sand and buff on a regular basis and this bag is awesome for caring your bottles and towels. It�€™s kind of snug when it comes to caring a buffer. Other than that it�€™s very durable and you will not be disappointed at all. You can carry a buffer in it however you will be light on towels so if you need to carry a buffer I recommend you buy two bags. The bags are a good deal and value when it comes too price.

Decades Behind the Iron Curtain Fuels Employee's Passion Against Injustice
Joanna Matlak
Circulation Desk Evening Supervisor
Murray Library
Grantham, Pa.
For Joanna Matlak, circulation desk evening supervisor in Messiah's Murray Library, each night spent working among the towering rows of books offers a quiet reminder of the first 33 years of her life spent behind the Iron Curtain in Communist-run Poland, where the free exchange of ideas and expression were mere words on a page.
"Everyday in my work at Messiah, I check out books to College students that were forbidden by the Communist regime in Poland," she says. "These books, such as those written by George Orwell and Vaclav Havel, for example, would have had to be printed and distributed in the underground press. Under the totalitarian communist dictatorship we endured, you would have suffered terribly for possessing these books."
Her long years under totalitarian Communism have fostered in Matlak a passion against injustice which informs her daily vocation within the Messiah community. Read the rest of this entry »
