IF you have enjoyed Wicked Imp Irvine has several other e-book stories on the net, including The Phantom Sister, for 10-12 year olds.
Wicked Imp!
IT was Saturday morning and the little town of Penrith was busy with shoppers. Elizabeth raced along the crowded pavement determined she would not stop for anything until she had reached her favourite window in the High Street.
There were lots of big shop windows, but none shone more beautifully than the narrow shining window at the George Hotel.
And now she reached it, all bright and happy, and everything seemed to be just as it should be and nothing strange happening.
Inside the hotel four ladies were sitting at a table drinking coffee. "Oh look," smiled the oldest lady, peering out of the window, "that sweet little girl is here again!"
The ladies all looked.
Elizabeth did exactly what she always did. She stood outside on the pavement smiling cheerfully and waved madly with both hands.
"I do love her hair, all blondy and twiggy," said the oldest lady. "And those purple boots, and her big pink glasses – a bit too big really, but different I suppose. Children do wear such delightful clothes these days. Mabel, you are the nearest, do wave back!"
Mabel did as she was told. It was the same every week.
"What a sweet little thing," said Mabel.
But the sweet little thing wasn't so sweet as all that. She wasn't waving to the ladies at all. She could only just see them. In fact Elizabeth was waving and laughing at herself. The beautiful window reached down like a mirror and she was waving at her own reflection, which showed up wonderfully.
And she would have walked on feeling happy and cheery just like every Saturday because somehow that is what the window always did for her.
But not today.
At the bottom of the window, almost hidden in among the ladies' feet, something blinked and glared. Because of the reflection Elizabeth thought it was a tiny dog, then she realised that it wasn't, it had a thin golden face and two bulging eyes.
It glared at her for what seemed like a very long time, then in a flash it vanished.
Well, that's funny, she thought; well, not exactly funny, but certainly Very Peculiar. Whatever it was it had lots of wrinkles.
The ladies were looking puzzled as she continued to stare. But she moved on, passing the hotel's double glass doors.
Something golden whizzed across.
It was there again! It was certainly not a dog! It had jumped from one window to the next, vanishing yet again, a long straggly thing with claws for feet.
Elizabeth trembled. How ever had it done that? Elizabeth trembled. How ever had it done that? She glanced along at a string of shops, just in case. And yes, there it was! It was in the window of an ironmonger's. It had done another jump.
Elizabeth was not exactly frightened. She knew in fact she was really quite brave, but it was a bit creepy.
She moved up very close.
"Go away!" she shouted fiercely.
A long thin arm shot out of the glass like a wiry piece of rope. It grabbed at her face. In a moment her heavy pink glasses were snatched off her nose and the creature shot back into the window.
Elizabeth was shocked and then she was furious. "Give them back at once!" she yelled. 'You're a wicked imp! Give them back!" Not pausing to think that it might be dangerous she lunged at the half-seen figure and to her surprise she plunged through the glass almost as if it were liquid.
She landed with a crash on the shop floor expecting bits of glass to tumble all around her. But no, the window was still whole, quite unbroken!
She gulped and stared round anxiously. What was happening? And where had the thing gone? And where were her glasses? It was a struggle, but she could just about see.
The shop was empty. There was not even a shop assistant. But there were lots of hiding places. It was full of buckets and shovels, shiny ladders, pickaxes, boxes of nails and garden tools.
Elizabeth went past a counter and stumbled over a lump.
"Ouch!" protested a deep voice. "Do you mind!"
It was a bucket.
"Oh, I'm terribly sorry, did I kick you?" said Elizabeth.
"Kick me? No, no, I've always had a dent in my nose!"
"I'm looking for a yellowy golden face," Elizabeth said by way of explanation.
"Doesn't sound like me," said the bucket mournfully.
"It's stolen my glasses."
"Oh has it? Well something funny ran along a shelf."
Elizabeth was dismayed. The shop was gloomy and full of shelves. She peered at them all. She opened cupboards and drawers. She looked behind the counter.
"Just wait till I get you!" she shouted.
Some things were definitely turning out really funny today.
And some things were turning out nastily.
Two steel mousetraps began to leap across the floor, glittering and snapping sharply each time they landed. Elizabeth took one look, grabbed a broom and knocked them flying.
"Put me down," cried the startled broom. "You're hurting!"
Elizabeth did so at once, very surprised. "Help! I didn't know brooms could talk."
"Hah! Typical. Everything talks if it wants to," said the broom scornfully. "People simply don't listen. I've known brooms who could talk and sing and dance if only they had been given a proper chance and furthermore it makes my bristles stand up when . . ."
"Thank you," said Elizabeth quickly. "Very interesting. I am sure you are right."
The snapping mousetraps had picked themselves up and were advancing again. Hastily Elizabeth dropped a plastic tub over them and slid back out through the window.
Help, that's twice I've done that, she told herself. Everything was behaving strangely this morning.
And then she remembered why she been in the shop. She still hadn't got her glasses. Dare she go back?
She might have tried but a long string of pots and pans came marching out through the door, blocking the way. Talking noisily they set off up the street taking her along with them. Shoppers stared, astonished as the column struggled to get through all the Saturday morning legs. Truthfully not many people had heard any pots and pans chatting as loudly as this before, not recently anyway.
The strange procession did not get far. A man paused to look at the advancing column, then he grabbed up a kettle. It yelled loudly as he pushed it down inside his coat. Other shoppers goggled. Then everyone started doing the same, cramming yelling pans into shopping bags. In no time at all the procession of marching pots and pans vanished.
I don't think they should have done that, thought Elizabeth, but really she was thinking more about losing her glasses than all the marching pans. Her glasses might be old but they were better than having to squint all the time.
She hurried along the pavement, peering in all the windows. She did not halt until she reached the music shop, and yes! There it was, inside, dancing up and down. What was more, it was wearing her glasses!
How dare it! She plunged through the glass without so much as a crackle or crunch or anything. The shop was full of noise. Chellos and violins were twinging and twanging. Drums were beating exciting tattoos. A piano was pouring out cascades of notes. Such a din! The instruments were having a great time.
But Elizabeth wasn't.
Halfway along the shop the golden-faced imp was crouching on a counter still wearing her glasses. Seeing her coming it leapt up onto a cupboard.
"Don't think you're going to get away!" she yelled. "I'll soon catch you!"
The imp gave a shrill laugh and vanished.
Elizabeth woofed up her hair in exasperation.
The sound of clunky footsteps came from behind. She was surprised to see the shiny bucket.
"What are you doing here?" she demanded. "You're in the wrong shop."
The bucket seemed to wrinkle. "I just sort of came with you."
Elizabeth did not think that that was right. "Well you can't, can you? You belong in the ironmonger's."
Few would ever think a bucket could look miserable, but the bucket did.
"Couldn't I stay a bit? I do like music."
Before Elizabeth could think of a suitable answer a drumstick rushed up, looking very important.
"Are you a drum?" the drumstick demanded, waving up and down.
The bucket turned pale.
"Er, well, no, that is . . ."
"Splendid! We're forming a drum quartet.
"You know, four players. But we're short of a good drum."
The bucket blinked. "Really, I don't think I'm a drum."
"You look like a drum to me," said the drumstick, waving madly. "Turn over and I'll try you."
The drumstick leaned back as the bucket turned itself upside down.
"Super!" declared the drumstick. "You're a Bucket Drum. Come on at once! We're rehearsing behind the hotel."
Well, thought Elizabeth. That's a funny one.
"Goodbye," said the bucket, no longer miserable. It blinked happily. "Oh, that thing, at the ironmonger's – it was hiding in the cash drawer."
It was the one place Elizabeth hadn't looked.
"This is great," the drumstick was telling the bucket as they hurried off. "You must meet the others, we've two dustbins and a super bath tub."
And they had gone.
Elizabeth turned back to the window in time to catch a golden flicker. It had been behind her all along! Well it wasn't going to get away. Without thinking how she did it she seemed to fold through the glass and land back in the street.
She peered along a line of shops, and there it was, in a hairdresser's. No! How dare it! it was twirling her glasses round and round.
Very annoyed, she charged in and was swallowed by the glass. She took no more than two steps. Swift as anything, a humming hair drier grabbed her and plonked her down in a chair.
"Sit here, madam. You're just in time."
A pair of shiny scissors rushed up.
"Morning madam, hair-chop? Shampoo?"
"Certainly not!" said Elizabeth. "Let me out!"
She struggled to stand up but found that the chair's arms had taken hold of her.
"Toes pierced? Earwigs removed?"
"I don't want anything! Let me go."
The scissors began hacking at her hair.
"Stop! You're hurting."
"Nonsense! Stop wriggling!" ordered the scissors as lumps of Elizabeth's hair began to tumble to the floor. "If you misbehave I'll cut it all off!"
Elizabeth quickly behaved.
The scissors worked swiftly. Then a mirror stood itself up and showed her the result.
"Oh," said Elizabeth. Her twiggy hair had been changed into a short fuzzy cut.
"Lovely," said the scissors admiringly. Elizabeth was surprised for she could only agree that it was. But she still had to go.
"That's twenty-six pounds," ordered the scissors.
Elizabeth gulped. "H-how much?"
"Special cut-price," said the scissors. It smirked.
"That's a terrible joke," said Elizabeth. She thought swiftly." I need to open my purse," she said, and the chair let go of her.
She looked in her purse. She knew already what was there. "I've only got 20p."
"What!" snapped the scissors. "Then you can scrub the floor, at once!"
"Certainly not!" said Elizabeth.
"And empty all the hairbins."
"I won't! I didn't even ask for a haircut!"
She jumped up and hopped out through the window back into the busy street. Yells sounded as she ran, but no one caught her and she came to a breathless halt outside a cake shop.
It was the last shop in the row. Her eyes were beginning to hurt. She definitely needed to find her glasses.
For some reason the cake shop window was unlike other windows, it had heavy wire mesh embedded in the glass. Inside the shop loomed a giant wedding cake, which it was guarding, so perhaps that was why the window was so strong.
Cautiously Elizabeth went in by the door.
A sweet smell of raspberry jam and cream met her. Three plump women in white overalls were rushing about with trays of cream buns. Load after load was being stacked up onto a counter where they rose higher and higher until they stood like a wobbly mountain.
Indignant squeaks filled the shop. Elizabeth stared in surprise, looking for mice. But not a mouse was in sight. Then she realised it was the buns. As the buns landed on the counter they squeaked.
She had never heard of squeaking buns before.
"Are the buns for sale?" she inquired politely; of course remembering she had only 20p.
A red-faced baker plonked nineteen more buns on top of the pile. A chorus of protesting squeaks filled the shop right up to the ceiling.
"For sale?" he yelled. "Of course they are!" he yelled.
He was a very noisy baker.
"Our squeaky buns are famous!"
Elizabeth nearly said that some of his buns were not only famous but were being squashed flat, but she was cut short as the baker turned and screamed at the wedding cake.
"Get out!" he yelled.
The dumpy assistants waved their arms madly.
"Get out, get out!" they yelled.
Elizabeth wondered whatever the cake had done to be shouted at, but it wasn't the cake that was in trouble. As cheeky as anything it was the imp. It was sitting on top of the cake, prodding a lanky finger down into the icing.
Still yelling, the baker hurled a cream bun.
It hit a wall and squeaked angrily.
Screaming and waving the excited women joined in.
Splat! Splat! Splat!
Flying squeaking buns filled the shop.
The imp was too fast. Laughing shrilly, it zig-zagged clear.
But now it made its first mistake. Waving its wiry arms it circled the counter and zoomed out through the window.
Except it didn't.
A frightening crash sounded. The imp splattered into the glass but this time it did not zoom through. For a moment it stayed suspended, stopped by the wire mesh, then everything tumbled to the ground in fragments.
Elizabeth was horrified. She rushed outside. Wire and glass lay scattered on the pavement and mixed up in everything were lots of coloured pieces. Only seconds ago they had been the little imp!
She peered hard at the mess wishing desperately she had her spectacles. One small piece of glass shone brighter than all the rest. It sparkled urgently as if it were struggling to catch the light. Elizabeth was surprised. It almost seemed to be winking.
A large tear ran off the glass onto the ground.
"Oh, you poor thing."
Suddenly she was sorry for the creature. She forgot all about her glasses. She just had to do something.
Help was on its way. The sound of drumming came along the street. A little line of musicians came marching, led by an upside down bucket.
Elizabeth's face shone.
"You are just in time," she told the drums. "It's the imp."
In a moment she had it organised. A dustbin hurried off and brought the broom and shovel, the bath stood across the path and prevented shoppers' legs getting in the way, and the broom knew instantly what to do, brushing up all the fragments and tipping them into the bucket.
"You are brilliant!" cried Elizabeth excitedly
"Yes, I am, rather," said the broom.
The bucket sagged on its little legs, full of glass fragments.
"Do you think you can manage to walk a bit?" Elizabeth asked.
"Phew, yearse, sort of."
Elisabeth needed somewhere flat. She could think of one safe place, the paved yard behind the George Hotel.
It seemed a long way back along the High Street. She held the little bucket by its handle as it puffed along to encouraging cries of "Bucky, don't trip!" and "Keep it up, Bucky!"
At last they turned into the yard and found a flat space between two parked cars. The bucket tipped out the glass.
I hope this works, thought Elizabeth.
What a mess! There were hundreds of fragments, but only a few were golden. Squinting hard, she picked out the coloured pieces one by one and set them on the ground beside her. She knew she was good at jigsaws and she pretended that that is what she was doing.
In this way little by little she began to rebuild the shattered imp until at last only one piece was needed. It was still all broken up, but it was looking good. Now she must try and get some glue and see if she could fix it.
Feeling pleased, she dropped the imp's nose into place.
The glass snapped together.
Elizabeth fell back in surprise. The imp was whole again! For a second it lay on the ground then it shot up into a car window.
"Hurrah!" yelled the drummers. "Hurrah!"
Astonished, Elizabeth waited for the imp to vanish.
But it didn't. The imp's little face seemed to hover uncertainly, then a long gangling arm came out like a wiry piece of rope and Elizabeth's glasses suddenly were back on her nose, just like that!
"Oh, thank you," cried Elizabeth, delighted. "How very kind of you. I really was missing them."
There was a quick blink, a flicker of a smile lit the little golden face and then the car window was empty.
Elizabeth waved goodbye with both hands at once and from somewhere far away came a trickle of laughter, then the noise of the town traffic drowned it out and she gave a little sigh, guessing she would probably never see the little imp again.
She took off her glasses to give them a wipe.
"Oh, look!" cried all the drummers. "Look! Look! Look!"
Elizabeth's face lit in surprise. The frames of her glasses were no longer a funny old lumpy pink. Magically they had turned into a beautifully shaped dark green pair with a thin golden line running through it, quite the nicest one could ever hope to wear.
"How kind!" she cried. "Thank you, oh thank you."
They really were beautiful. She put them back on and everything was as clear as anything. Smiling cheerfully, she left the yard and set off for home to the sound of drummers wildly drumming. How busy everything was. How funny everything had been. How she loved Saturday mornings.

Ouseburn Farm
Helping save a local treasure
When Ouseburn Farm found out its funding would be cut, we stepped in to part-fund its deficit for three years. But they were still in need of critical funding to carry on their amazing work and needed a further £20,000. Ouseburn Farm is a brilliant local charity, supporting hundreds of disadvantaged and vulnerable people. We couldn't let it close.
Raised £34K to help save the Farm from closure
830 donations generated
470% boost in page likes
2,800 impressions per day
The brief
Raise urgent funds to help save Ouseburn Farm from closure. In one month.
Our approach
We knew that the people of the North East are some of the most generous in the country, with one of the most impressive rates of charity volunteering. We also knew that Crowdfunder would be the best platform to build our campaign on. We leveraged people's desire to help, and pulled on the heart strings of a region via a powerful, emotive campaign that made people sit up and listen. Our 'Support your Farm, Support your Community' campaign delivered this across all channels.
What we delivered
A social strategy and content that harnessed the strong charitable ethic of the people of the North East, and inspired them to get behind our crowdfunded campaign. Our in-house production team shot a promotional video at the Farm, while our creative team developed supporting assets to run across Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. We developed a suite of awards for those people who pledged support through the Crowdfunder platform; this included feeding the animals and behind the scenes tours. Our fully integrated campaign aimed to raise awareness of the brilliant work Ouseburn Farm does, and direct traffic to its Crowdfunder page.
The result
Our campaign helped Ouseburn Farm from initial closure. We raised £34,000 in just 28 days – 170% of the required funds. Facebook page likes rose 470% and Twitter content received 84,400 impressions. Ouseburn Farm also experienced a huge increase in footfall, and our campaign was awarded Best CSR Campaign at the 2017 Northern Marketing Awards. We continue to support Ouseburn Farm in its brand strategy, on-site signage and promotional materials. The charity relies solely on donations to survive and there's still a long way to go to make them completely sustainable.

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,
Imam Malik (رحمه الله) stated that a clever person has three traits:
- Firstly, the person leaves the world before the world leaves him and the person prepares for the Hereafter in such a way that they forget this world. However, this doesn't mean that the individual should sit in one corner and forget about their responsibilities towards their family or worldly necessities. To fulfil the necessities and responsibilities of your parents, wife and children is a rewarding act.
- Secondly, the person prepares for his grave before he enters the grave. Certain people make plans that when they reach a certain age they will keep a beard or start reading Salah, however they may not even reach that age. Therefore, individuals must strive to do good deeds straight away.
- Thirdly, the person who pleases Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) before he meets his Lord. This means on the Day of Judgement Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) will call your name and place your book of deeds in your right hand, and state "You have earned Jannah and you can enter it through any door which you please."
In another Hadith, it is narrated that a person came to see Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) and asked "Teach me an Amal, so that when I do that Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) loves me and the people also respect me". The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) replied "Distance yourself from the worldly desires and Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) will love you, don't be greedy for other's belongings and you will gain the respect of the people". The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) also stated "Love the people for the sake of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى), and not because of their worldly possessions which you desire".
If an individual requires or wants anything, they should ask Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) for it, and Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) will be happy, as Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) loves when His slaves ask from Him. However, if an individual goes to another person and asks from them repetitively, the person will get tired of them asking. But, Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) comes to the first Heaven when it is Tahajjud time and states "I will give you forgiveness, if you require forgiveness, I will give you food, if you require food, and if you want to admit to your sins, I will not reveal it to another soul and will forgive you as if you have never sinned".
May Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) grant us the ability to apply this knowledge. Ameen.

Children's Moment
Anthem – Living Lamb Of God (Larson)
The Shepherd was stricken, the sheep roamed away.
In death's confinement, the Holy Jesus lay.
Day into evening, night into day,
In fear we waited, alone we prayed.
Then on the third day at breaking of dawn,
From death's dark shadow His body was gone!
What now had happened? Did He survive?
Our fallen Shepherd was now alive!
Living Lamb of God, slain for the sins of all,
Risen up victorious! Again we hear His call.
In death He scattered darkness, in life He gathers all,
He is the Living Lamb of God!
The stone that was rejected has become my solid rock,
The dying gentle Shepherd is now the Living Lamb of God!
Praise the Lamb of God, the Holy Lamb of God!
A Reading from the Prophets – Hosea 6:1-6 Jeanni Galloway, Liturgist
"Come, let us return to the Lord;
for it is he who has torn, and he will heal us;
he has struck down, and he will bind us up.
2 After two days he will revive us;
on the third day he will raise us up,
that we may live before him.
3 Let us know, let us press on to know the Lord;
his appearing is as sure as the dawn;
he will come to us like the showers,
like the spring rains that water the earth."
4 What shall I do with you, O Ephraim?
What shall I do with you, O Judah?
Your love is like a morning cloud,
like the dew that goes away early.
5 Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets,
I have killed them by the words of my mouth,
and my[a] judgment goes forth as the light.
6 For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice,
the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
A Meditation on the Upper Room Jeanni Galloway, Leader
L: The Resurrection has let Christ loose upon the world: he can enter even those places and lives where the doors are barred and bolted to keep out whatever is unfamiliar & threatening. In the midst of the fear which filled that upper room where the disciples were assembled, the Risen Jesus made himself known and gave his Easter gift of peace. Let us pray.
Your only Son, O God, graciously appeared to his disciples when the doors were shut;
P: May he fill us with the precious gift of his blessing, and open to us the doors of the kingdom of heaven.
L. He took from the disciples' hearts the doubt which was wounding them, by inviting them to touch his body;
P. May he take away from us the scars of our sins, through faith in his Resurrection.
L: With Thomas we believe that he is our Lord & our God, & we call upon him in humble faith;
P: May he keep us safe from all evil in this world, and enable us to stand in the company of the saints in the world to come. Amen.
* Hymn – Immortal Love, Forever Full (1964 UMH 158 Tune – "Serenity")
A Reading from the Gospel – John 20:19-29
19 When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you." 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you." 22 When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."
24 But Thomas (who was called the Twin[a]), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe."
26 A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were shut, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you." 27 Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe." 28 Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!" 29 Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe."
Sermon – "A New Way of Knowing" Dr. Emora Thomas Brannan
The Offering of Gifts & Tithes
Offertory – My Shepherd Will Supply My Need (arr. Larson)
My Shepherd will supply my need,
The God of love supreme;
In pastures green You let me feed
Beside the living stream.
You bring my wondering spirit back
When I forsake your ways,
And lead me for Your mercy's sake
In paths of truth and grace.
When I walk through the shades of death,
You presence is my stay;
One word of Your supporting breath
Drives all my fears away.
Your hand, in sight of all my foes,
Does still my table spread;
My cup with blessings overflows,
Your oil anoints my head.
The sure provisions of my God
Attend me all my days.
O may Your house be my abode,
And all my work be praise!
There would I find a settled rest,
While others go and come,
No more a stranger nor a guest,
But like a child at home.
My Shepherd will supply my need;
The God of love supreme.
* Presentation of Offering – Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow UMH 95
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; praise him, all creatures here below;
praise him above, yet heavenly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
Offering Prayer (All)
Almighty God, source of all our comfort and joy: Receive us and these our gifts as we dedicate them and ourselves anew to you. Consecrate for us the experience and resolves of this hour, and lead us in the way of true understanding and fruitful service; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
* Closing Hymn – Ask Ye What Great Thing I Know UMH 163
1. Ask ye what great thing I know, that delights and stirs me so? What the high reward I win? Whose the name I glory in? Jesus Christ, the crucified.
2. Who defeats my fiercest foes? Who consoles my saddest woes? Who revives my fainting heart, healing all its hidden smart? Jesus Christ, the crucified.
3. Who is life in life to me? Who the death of death will be? Who will place me on his right, with the countless hosts of light? Jesus Christ, the crucified.
4. This is that great thing I know; this delights and stirs me so: faith in him who died to save, him who triumphed o'er the grave: Jesus Christ, the crucified.
* Benediction (By the Minister)

Christ is risen. Amen.

WATCH: HST Exemption Will Benefit Massage Therapy Patients
As our campaign continues, we want to ensure that all RMT/ACT campaign supporters understand not only the goal, but also the impact that HST/GST exemption will have. To help with this, we've developed a short video on how HST/GST exemption will benefit patients. Help spread the word by liking the page and sharing it on your social networks.
Your RMT Story: Meet Dani Faucher
Dani Faucher, an RMT from London, Ontario, wants to give her patients back some control over their health care and their lives. By helping her patients discover what they can do despite their pain, rather than what they can't do, they are able to have a more active role in their recovery.
"Imagine seeing someone's eyes light up when they realize that the activity they've been missing may well be possible again, albeit a little differently sometimes," Dani said. "Seeing relief from pain and helping people learn to cope with living with pain is awesome - that renewal of hope that life can be good again."
In her four years as an RMT, Dani has been able to help many people cope with pain and return to their regular activities.Read more
How you can make a difference
One of your first questions when you heard about RMT/ACT may have been: "Why are we doing this?". The primary reason is to create a hub for Registered Massage Therapists to show their support for the profession and advocate for changing how our services are taxed. But you may be wondering why an advocacy campaign is necessary.
"Advocacy" can mean many different things to many different people, but in general, advocacy is about taking action. Advocacy is speaking out or acting toward a cause, idea or policy that affects you, the people or the world around you. It is the pursuit of influencing outcomes—including public policy and funding decisions. It is telling your story so that government is compelled to do (or perhaps, not to do) something.Read more
Massage Therapy Regulated in PEI
On March 1, 2019, massage therapy was included as a Regulated Health Profession under the Prince Edward Island Regulated Health Professions Act. This means that individuals practicing massage therapy in PEI are now considered regulated health professionals, and new applicants would need to apply with the College of Massage Therapists of PEI which is currently being formed.
The Canadian Massage Therapist Alliance (CMTA) would like to congratulate the Prince Edward Island Massage Therapy Association (PEIMTA) for this monumental accomplishment. This represents a significant step forward to the massage therapy profession both in PEI and across Canada.

Finnish Week of Innovations is growing well every yearPosted on September 28th, 2013 No comments
The 7th annual Week of Innovations which was held at Viitasaari from 19-21st september gathered more inventors and visitors this time around. Luckily it was held nearly 2 months earlier than last years event, so we even could jump into the beautyful lake by the hotel sauna …
As times are hard and recession continues we surely need more innovative solutions and inventions to improve our technologies and to save money. Surely, the trend is to produce more stuff with a less energy and manpower. How to do this? That is the question. But not for those who are on it every single day – they just do it ! Therefore it is always pleasure to see what good neighbours have done and to show off our new solutions & toys' as well.
So, how was the show and what sort of inventions we saw this time? Well , the show was great & inspirational as always and those who didn't come missed all fun ! Veijo Vaakanainen from Finnish Inventors National Federation – Kekery has just released the Video footage about the show on his Youtube channel.
This time we had inventors also from Poland & Hungary although our Swedish friends from Triljard.com couldnt make it. Hopefully next year … But the good news is that Estonian team had grown from 4 to 10 members and so we had even our own little street ! Inventors and their inventions of this street were next : Aavo Murutalu – A simple method of taking 3D photos with any camera , Indrek Hallikmäe – Tiretower , Enno Sinipalu – filament , Hando Kruuv with his unique Pendulum , Karmo Kaaristo – Pneumobile , Kalle Köömnemägi presenting Meiren OÜ snow blows , our high-end designer Leonardo Meigas with his unique chair and myself with the IdeaGuru – which is the cellphone application for would be inventors & entrepreneurs Worldwide / Out soon !
My personal favourite invention this year was the Airplane-Sauna called Flying Pig' invented by finnishman P. Penttilä which i found very entertaining & also refreshing experience as the sauna was on !! 🙂* For more photos & comments please visit my Facebook Gallery.
Ellivuori event had its fun & shinePosted on March 26th, 2013 No comments
The first inventionshow of the year 2013 was held at Ellivuori Ski & Holiday Resort in Finland from 21-24 March. As finns have noticed the importance of inventions for the economy, they are investing to events like this at international level. It is no surprise to see estonians, swedes, russians and other folkes at these exhibitions. Ellivuori, which is a small, but nice resort not far from Nokia, has its shine & comfort to treat you in the way you expect. And we experienced just that going to skiing & sauna & also having a great food : )
Back to the show I must admit it was well organized. More than 40 inventors presented their inventions & prototypes. Also well prepared seminars where held about IPR matters by Maunu Korpela from the Finnish Inventors Association. The show attracted tech companies and business angels as usual. We also had inspirational talks by those inventors who have succeeded already – Raimo Flink, Esko Nyberg & Marko Aaltonen. But inventors Samuli Penttinen and Tomi Köhler told their stories how do they live their every- day life. Surely, you would like to know more about those exciting inventions, which were presented in Finland at this time. Just to give you a little taster to make sure you will make it in Autumn I will mention a couple of inventions to you only: Nexamen for Bluetooth marketing and Lightway flying vehicle 🙂 Got a bit more excited ? If so, then make a note in your calendar for the Week of Innovations at Viitasaari from 19-21 September 2013. For updates just follow my stream.

If You Had To Buy One Deer Hunting Rifle, What Would It Be?
The Remington 700 is one of the most popular deer hunting rifles of all time. Introduced in 1962, it has a long and venerable, history with a great reputation for hunting deer. It is a bolt action, rotating bolt with two lugs rifle and has all the necessary features of a deer hunting rifle including, an adjustable trigger, detachable or non-detachable box magazine with or without hinged floor-plate (depending on the model), and side-mounted thumb safety. There are also left-handed versions available. The stock also had a great design and handled recoil well.
But why is it as popular as a deer hunting rifle? The Remington is reliable and extremely accurate right out of the box. Its performance has been so amazing that the military and police have adapted it for their high performance, high-stress purposes.
Two models would be an excellent first deer hunting rifle the: CDL, BDL. Both have the classic styling of the original model. They are also lighter than some of the heavier rifles are much easier to carry around. The LSS is an even lighter version of the CDL and BDL. Its wood stocks and steel parts have been replaced with synthetic and stainless steel.
They typically run between $600-$700 new, but since so many have been manufactured; you'll probably find a good condition rifle for sale for even less in the classifieds or at a pawn shop.
Common Deer Hunting Rifle Ammunition
Typical deer hunting rifle ammunition comes in two types: heavy, large-caliber, slow-moving bullets, for short ranges and light, small-caliber, high-velocity bullets for long-distance shooting. Both are effective in hunting deer, but one may fit your hunting situation better depending on where you live and what you are hunting.
A typical example of the first deer hunting rifle ammunition is the classic .30-06 Springfield. With the .30-06 you have good flexibility in the size of the bullet. With the larger 150 grain and 180-grain bullets, you can use them for hunting larger game such as mule deer and elk. .30-06 caliber rounds are also ideal for ranges under 150 yards. 7MM ammunition is an example of the second type of deer hunting rifle ammunition. The bullet has a higher velocity on leaving the gun, has fewer drops than the .30-06 caliber rounds, and has excellent knockdown power. This makes the 7MM more ideal for long-distance use above 150 yards. Both types of ammunition are available for many types of commonly found deer hunting rifles.
Budget Ranges For A New Deer Hunting Rifle
So you're in the market for a new deer hunting rifle. You might be a new hunter or looking to find something new to hunt with. How much would you expect to pay for a new deer hunting rifle?
The first thing not to do is go to the local sporting goods store and buy the most expensive deer hunting rifle they have along with a lot of unnecessary accessories. There are a wide range of deer hunting rifles that fit your hunting needs.
There are three price ranges of deer hunting rifles that should interest a deer hunting rifle buyer: $400 or less, $400-800, $800 and above.
A $400-800 deer hunting rifle is very sturdy and completely functional. They have well-known brands like Remington and Savage and have excellent reputations for durability and long life.
$800+ deer hunting rifles are the top of the line rifles. They include brands like Browning, Baretta, and CZ. They typically have superior workmanship and more options, but its debatable how many hunters can take advantage of these features.
There is a deer hunting rifle in each of these budget ranges that will serve your needs. We'll be discussing the details of many deer hunting rifles in future posts.

My Very First Tough Mudder Experience (& how I shocked myself by loving it!)
Yesterday, I did something way outside my usual comfort zone. And I completely surprised myself by loving it…
What was it, you ask? Well, I ran in and finished my very first Tough Mudder race.
Yup. I did.
For those of you who haven't heard of the Tough Mudder race, here's how they describe it on their site:
Now here's the thing you should know: I didn't really know much about the race and only signed up two weeks ago on a whim.
Jesse had been signed up for it and anticipating it for months. He and his brother, Stephen, were planning to run it together and his parents were coming into town to cheer them on.
He and I have always wanted to run a race together, but we've never been able to work out childcare to make it happen. As I was thinking about the race two weeks ago, I realized that since his parents would be here, our childcare issues would be solved. And I knew Jesse would love, love, love for me to run the race with him
So I got rather spontaneous and out-of-the-blue asked him if he thought I could run the race. He gave me a rather shocked expression, but said he thought I could. So I blew him away by saying, "Well, I was thinking of signing up for it and running it with you."
I wish you could have seen his face. HE WAS ECSTATIC and he literally immediately got online and signed me up (maybe he wanted to do it before I changed my mind?!)
I didn't have much time to train except to mentally prepare for it to be one of the hardest things I've ever done. I decided to approach it like childbirth and I figured that if I had naturally birthed three kids without any pain killers taking one contraction at a time, this would be how I would approach this race, too.
I didn't spend a lot of time researching the obstacles — I figured that would just scare me more. Instead, I researched what would be best to wear. I found out that good, lightweight shoes, leggings (not shorts — your legs would get really scraped up), rubber gloves with good grip with the ends cut off (so water wouldn't get lodged inside of them), and a really strong hairband were the most important things.
So I prepped by making sure I had the best outfit for the race, getting good sleep every night for the few nights before, and eating extra carbs the day before, and. It was the best I could do in that short amount of time — and I ended up being so glad that I had done so.
We got up early yesterday morning to drive to a farm that was about an hour and a half away. The whole drive there, I wondered if I had made a big mistake in signing up. I wondered if I'd be able to actually complete the race. I wondered if I'd be the last person to come in. I wondered if I would keel over halfway through.
I second guessed my on-a-whim decision a lot, but I kept reminding myself: You're committed now. Just go do your best. Pace yourself. Don't let doubt get in your head. Don't worry about the few miles ahead of you, just take the next step.
As we stood at the starting line, Stephen, Jesse and I discussed our goals for the race and why we were doing this race. I said, "I'm doing this for my husband because I know that doing this with him means the world to him. My goal is just to finish. I don't care about my time. I just want to finish."
We talked about how we'd stay together, work as a team, encourage one another, pace ourselves, and just take one mile and one obstacle at a time. And that's exactly what we did.
The first mile was uphill almost all the way and it was brutal. I wondered what I had gotten myself into and how on earth I was going to survive 9 more miles plus a bunch of obstacles.
Then we came to the first obstacle — the Mud Mile — where you have to jump into multiple 8-10 foot deep mud pits that are filled with about 2-3 feet of mud at the bottom and then you have to figure out a way to get out.
I stood at the beginning of it and saw all of the people completely covered in mud and thought, "This is INSANE!" But then I jumped in and started slowly working my way through the obstacle — with lots of help from the group. I quickly found it wasn't all that bad. I got into a rhythm of sliding down the muddy side into the mud pit and then getting help with hoisting myself up to the other side and then doing it again.
It was at this first obstacle that I began to realize what the Tough Mudder is all about. There's no way you can do this race without the help of your teammates. You just can't — unless you are superhuman or something. You need a hand (or multiple hands) to help pull you up out of the pits. And you need people around you encouraging you as you do these seemingly impossible tasks.
As I watched everyone in our group — most whom we'd never even talked to before starting the obstacle — work together and encourage one another, I fell in love with the Tough Mudder.
To see people come together, work together, encourage one another, to see big muscular guys needing help just as much as small women like me, to experience the instant camaraderie, to witness how helpful and selfless everyone was, to see how committed everyone was to making sure no one was left behind and that everyone got through the obstacle… it was incredible, inspiring, and infectious.
When I finished this obstacle, I was covered in mud, but I didn't care because not only had I gotten through the first obstacle, I'd actually had fun doing it!
And right then and there, I realized I just might actually end up liking this whole Tough Mudder thing — instead of being miserable like I thought I'd be.
Over the next 4 hours, we faced 9 more miles of terrain — about half of which was uphill at a pretty steep incline. And we faced lots of obstacles, including the following:
- King of the Mountain
- Berlin Walls
- Pole Dancer
- Arctic Enema
- Funky Monkey
- Electroshock Therapy
- Mud Mile
- Skidmarked
- King of the Swingers
- Cry Baby
- Birth Canal
- Devil's Beard
- Beached Whale
- Balls Out
- The Liberator
- Everest 2.0
It was hard, but not as bad as I'd expected. Jesse and Stephen stayed with me the whole time and were incredibly encouraging to me — pushing me on and motivating me to keep going even when I was tired.
I did things I never would have thought I was capable of (like the Cry Baby — where you had to crawl through a maze with blinding tear gas, Everest 2.0 — I made it to the top in one try!!, the Arctic Enema which was intense and freezing, and King of the Swingers — where you had to leap off a tall platform, grab a bar, and swing out into a lake of mud).
There were many times when I'd think, "There's no way I can do that, but I'm just going to go out there and try." And I did.
I didn't complete all of the obstacles perfectly, but I gave them my best shot. The only one that I completely bypassed was Funky Monkey — because I have never been able to monkey bars and I had already told myself I got a pass on that one lest I kill my shoulders and have to bow out of the race before it was over with.
But for all the rest of the obstacles, I made myself at least give them my best shot. And, I totally surprised myself when there were only two other obstacles that I couldn't fully complete.
I jumped into, slid through, walked through, climbed on hands and knees through more mud than I've ever seen in my life. You should know that I don't like mud or being dirty at ALL, but I got over the ick factor quickly and just focused on the task ahead.
One step at a time, one mile at a time, one obstacle at a time, we got through it and had so much fun in the process.
And let me tell you, when we crossed under the finish line and got our finisher headbands, I felt completely exhilarated — WE DID IT!!!
Truthfully, I thought I would probably be miserable the whole race. My goal had just been to go out there and have a good attitude, give it my best shot, hopefully finish, and make a memory with my husband.
Instead, I completely shocked myself by loving almost everything about the race. In fact, I was already talking about signing up for another race before I was even to the finish line of this one! It might sound crazy, but it's true.
{The girls (and Jesse's youngest brother, Jon) did a Mini Mudder — I'll share pictures of that tomorrow. We were SO proud of them!}
This race challenged me as a person and finishing it will give me courage and motivation for years to come to keep putting myself out there, doing hard things, not letting fear of failure hold me back. We are often so much stronger than we believe ourselves to be.
I am sore today. Like Can-Barely-Walk-Up-The-Stairs sore. But it was oh so worth it!

Crystal, this is so inspiring! I've always secretly wanted to do a Tough Mudder but I've been afraid of making a fool of myself. You had such a great attitude going into it and that makes me want to give it a shot, even if I don't complete all the obstacles. Way to go!
Wow-way to go Crystal! That looks scary and yet exilerating. You should totally frame the photo of you and Jesse covered in mud-so cute!
This I such good reminder that sometimes going out of your comfort zone pays big rewards. What fun memories for your family.
Wow, girl! I am so impressed. I am the most uncoordinated person around, I'm sure this race would not end well for me. 🙂 way to go!!!
Great Job!!! What an amazing thing to have a great attitude. Looks so scary for me. 🙂 Congrats! Also I enjoy how you wanted to make your husband happy. For me one way to do this is to have blonde highlights. I really like my hair dark brown and don't really care for highlights. But I do it for him…I am glad I can do something so insignificant that makes him happy. Sorry….got off-track. 🙂
Congratulations again!!!!
This is awesome! Congratulations!!!! This is a huge accomplishment, and I have found these things to be addictive 😉 I am big into adventure racing. I LOVE it, and it provides such a sense of accomplishment. Isn't that the most amazing feeling?! You must feel like you can conquer the world right now. That is the most amazing feeling! Congrats again. Way to go!!!!!
This is awesome, Crystal!!! What an amazing experience.
So glad you did it. I'm totally inspired to do one now!
Congrats on finishing the race! Completing it with your husband must have been fun. My guess is that you'll be looking for another one to do once you can walk up the stairs again!
Congrats! This is so wonderful 🙂
Reminds me of when I did firewalking (the fear is all in the mind).
Keep up the great inspiration!
Amazing job!!! I've always wanted to do an obstacle course race of some kind, but they are so stinking expensive! Health and fitness have been my life for many years, and it's my profession (physical therapy), but I just can't bring myself to spend enough money to pay for a week's worth of groceries on a race. They're pricey even through daily deal sites like Groupon. Any words of advice on how to participate in something like this and not break the bank?
Thank you, I was so down today, whatever my " race" is seemed tough and I wanted to stay in my comfort zone and say " I cant sorry" instead… but I knew I would miss out on all the fun and the reward of doing it… my "race" is a discipline that I am undertaking, maybe it is washing the dishes and leaving the kitchen organized every night, maybe it is writing a to do list, maybe it is working on NOT criticizing my children…whatever the race is… I found inspiration in this post. Thank you!
Good for you for taking the leap and doing this! We have friends who do this every year (I think they are crazy) and my hubby has been contemplating joining in. I think to just go watch would be mentally exhausting, so I am uber impressed that you took the plunge, literally, and had fun to boot! Thanks for the inspiration. I may not do a tough mudder, but I can go for something else that is challenging! 🙂
You're the bomb, Crystal! Way to go! You have probably inspired lots of women to try something new and exciting!
Okay, silly but serious question, I was wondering if you'll ever be able to wear your race clothes/shoes again or is that part of the expense of doing a race like this? It just doesn't seem like you could possibly get all the mud stains out of your clothes and shoes.
Endurance stuff like this is either something you love or hate. I was never athletic at all and after my second son was born in January of 2006 on a whim I signed up for a 15k that happened to fall while we were going to be at WDW. Honestly I thought I'd end up walking most of it and looked at it as motivation to get back in shape after having a baby. I didn't even really train that hard…I not only ran the whole thing but I was hooked. Since then I've done five marathons (including WDW's Goofy Challenge–half on Sat full on Sun–twice!).
Fantastic! I love that you just jumped in and tried it. I think the attitude of just facing what you're immediately encountering without worrying about what may lie ahead is a good way to approach most things in life. We can't control the future, but we can go step by step through our present moment.
I LOVE this Crystal! Congratulations!! You are such a rock star 🙂
I hope to do one in the future as well.
loved this post so much, very similar to the thoughts and feelings I'm having after finally getting my college degree.
This is so awesome! I've thought about doing it but have always been terrified of it, especially the Electroshock Therapy :} My coworkers did it last year and I watched enviously as they showed off their muddy pics.
Question: Is there a lot of running involved? I am okay with doing strenuous things, except for running, due to asthma and knee issues. I've done CrossFit and am currently doing Kickboxing. I love the endorphin high I get after a good workout.
The race is coming to CO this September, so there's still time to talk myself into it…
You are truly an inspiration. Now I'm considering tough mudder as one of my goals. I still need to do some research on the obstacles et all. Thanks for the good start.
You might not want to look at all the obstacles – you might be intimidated by them.
I am so excited for you! And a bit jealous ? of how you are trying new things and putting yourself in stretching situations!
I have really enjoyed the change in your blog. I've been noticing the difference for a while and have never commented here before, but just want you know I appreciate your honesty and your faith being more visible here now!
Thank you!
Such great pictures. And I love how happy Jesse was that you did it with him. What a great decision to make as a wife!
So cool and motivational, Crystal! Thanks for setting a great example of loving your husband by doing something that meant a lot to him and also challenging yourself. Keep it up!
This is so small in comparison, but you mentioned bypassing the Monkey Bars…
Every time I'm with my daughter at the park I thought to myself, "Gee, wish I could do those but I'm way too big and weak." Then one day when nobody was at the park, I set my phone camera up and told myself to just do it. I recorded myself going across those monkey bars and I did it! And it was fun! And now I do it every time I'm at the park (if nobody's looking)! LOL. Good for you for doing the race, sometimes a last minute decision is best because we can't rationalize our way out of it.
Way to go! Not only can you be proud of yourself for not being so intimidated you gave up… but I also feel like this points toward the value of staying fit and exercising in general. Like, doing those "routine maintenance" things of exercising and being in shape, which probably seem kind of mundane to be disciplined with, end up allowing you to take advantage of opportunities like this on a whim.
This is probably true of many situations – staying on a budget allows us the freedom to splurge every once in a while, or maintaining good boundaries/rules with our kids allows us to let them stay up late for a special movie night, or eating well most of the time allows for spontaneously eating an ice cream sundae. 🙂 Those boring things in the moment allow us to enjoy the exciting things when they come up.
Now to think of what I can stay disciplined about so I can enjoy the "splurges" too. 😉
Kelly, as far as I'm concerned, you win the internet today for best comment about anything. Your comment is so well put and made me think about things in a different way. Crystal should have you write a guest post.
Ha! Thanks for the kind and encouraging comments from the both of you. I think I'll have to print out the one about winning the internet. 🙂
This is just awesome, Crystal! I really want to try something like this once I'm back in shape (I had a baby three months ago and am s-l-o-w-l-y working back into things). I'd really like to try a triathlon…someday!
You must be very fit to have made it through this. Amazing! You look great….even covered in mud! 🙂
Well, thanks for blowing my "I hate dirt" excuse out of the water! Some friends asked my husband and I to sign up to do one of these with them in September and I've still been trying to summon the courage (and I write about bravery, that's my gig! ?). But if you can be convinced than I guess I can too. I'm in! Thanks for the push!
I'm doing one this weekend! Not tough mudder, but a different company. It's only a 5K but I'm so nervous/excited for it.
This is so inspiring, not only because you went out and did something that was totally outside your comfort zone, but also because you knew it would be a way to bond with your husband. With two small children, I rarely ever feel able to handle everything on my plate let alone intentionally going outside of my comfort zone, and it feels as if there's so little left for my husband. My husband is wild about sailing and I am basically terrified of it, but I know he would love it if I went out and had a positive attitude and gave it a try for our next date night. Thanks for the inspiration! 🙂
You go girl!
That's so cool! Congratulations on making it. Sounds like lots of hard work!
I am glad you guys had nice weather. My husband and I did a Tough Mudder in Utah in late October. It was about 35 degrees most of the race. Outside temps make a huge difference. It isn't something I will do again, but it was an experience!
This post inspired me so much! I've described myself as a very non-athletic person for so long and I am very out of shape, but when I looked at this race I though, "this looks FUN!" I was just talking to my Bible study about how in my season of life (single and living alone) I want to learn more about who I am instead of letting other people define me but didn't know where to start. They told me that one step is to look for things that sound fun and just try them, whether anyone else wants to do it or not. Then I saw your post! I can't believe how much I want to try one of these! I think I'm crazy and lots of other people probably will too, but I want to venture out and try something just for me! Thank you for the encouragement. I even went out and restarted my couch-to-5-k app last night, even though it rained in the Nashville area! I figured you get wet enough doing the Tough Mudder, this shouldn't matter. I may be training for the next year, but I really want to do this! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome! I saw this advertised nearby and meant to see what it was. I'm so going to do this, and my boys would LOVE it, and at least one of my girls. Thanks for the inspiration! I see muddy fun in the future, and some great photo opportunities.
That is so, so awesome! I've always wanted to try something like this!
You look like you are incredibly fit!! Do you think it is something that someone who is not so fit (like overweight and "runs" a 5k in 45 minutes and is exhausted afterwards) would ever be able to complete?
I know this is an older post, but I'm considering doing a tough mudder with a group for my 40th bday. My question is, how did you do it without doing the extensive tough mudder training that is recommended for several weeks prior to the course? Do you think it was because you already are a runner and in good shape?
I know this is a year old now, but read it after one of your daily posts had it as a reminder. I am so impressed! I talked my husband into doing a tough mudder half with me next month and am very nervous but excited! I did have a silly question, but is important to me. I wear contacts and was wondering what to do about that. Would I lose them in some obstacles, or get mud in my eyes and not be able to clean them off ? I just don't see how I could wear my glasses and not have them covered in mud and not able to see. Thanks so much!
This is a super old post but I just ran across it – I was searching online for Tough mudder experiences and your blog post popped up! I already follow you so I was excited to read your account! If you happen to see this – are the electricity obstacles bad?? That's what is holding me back from signing up right now – I know I could skip but I feel like that defeats the purpose.

The program, which this year marks its seventh edition, works to train and build a generation of young leaders that are able to express themselves, deal with relevant social issues and effectively represent the different sectors of today's complex society. The first training session was attended by a diverse and group of about 20 participants of different ages, political and party affiliations, intellectual interests, beliefs and coming from different regions from north to south.
The meeting opened with an intervention by Saja Abu Fanni, Coordinator of the Young Leadership Program, introducing the participants to the work of I'lam, to its projects and explaining the structure of the session. Kholod Massalha, General Director of I'lam, welcomed the participants and congratulated them on their selection to participate in this second round of the program. She expressed her gratitude towards the Hanns Seidel Foundation for their generous support and for making this project possible.
I'lam media center recently concluded a special six-month vocational course for young journalists, focusing on young people who want to be involved, knowing that they are learning the subject of media in a number of educational institutions, whether locally or in the West Bank

Program Description
Trained machinists are continuously needed in engineering, manufacturing and fabrication companies. There are not enough new workers available to fill the entry-level positions. The CTE program prepares students for work as a machinist.
Students will learn to use, program and operate manual and computer numerical control (CNC) machining (i.e. lathes and mill machines). They will also use computer-assisted manufacturing (CAM) software.
Other skills include producing precision parts to design specification. Students must show the ability to use precision measuring equipment. Students will program and build projects on CNC machines. They must show their understanding of tolerance limits for each machining process. And they must verify that projects meet blueprint requirements.
The program covers industrial materials, the processes and the principles of material behavior. Students will also show proper use of CAM software. They will design, layout and build a project.
Students in the program will apply their knowledge and skills in industry work experiences. The CTE Department may structure the field experience. This may include laboratory-based, paid or unpaid work experiences for students.

ULVAC has drawn on a wealth of experience in evacuation technology to redesign the oil diffusion pumps meeting the demands of a new era. The ULVAC diffusion pumps have been designed for outstanding performance and extremely low running costs.
ULVAC's oil diffusion ejector pumps are generally used in industrial processes to provide high pumping speed. They are particularly well-suited for use in metallurgy, plastic coating and chemical manufacturing, where large quantities of gas have to be pumped away as quickly as possible. With no moving parts, these pumps are rugged and extremely reliable. They are very much like standard oil diffusion pumps, but are optimized to work at higher inlet pressures.

Coffee girl
For a long while I've wanted to try to paint with coffee. I was in Venice this summer and saw a painting at a restaurant that could have been done in coffee from the looks of it. The owners did not know for sure if it was coffee or not but my it made me really want to give it a go. The reason it took so long is mainly because I tend to drink all the coffee and have none left to paint with! But this Christmas we bought a Christmas coffee that was undrinkable which presented an opportunity to use the coffee for my artsy purposes. I had lots of fun drawing a girl using only coffee and water. I sketched her first with a color pencil and the coffee was quite pale so I had to do many layers.
A New Chapter and a Challenge
Hello and Welcome!
This is going to be a blog about creativity, art journaling, art supplies, mixed media, and occasionally it may include photography, coffee, writing and other joyous subjects!
I'm going to start off by setting myself a challenge, I have a beautiful set of Aquamarkers but I tend not to use them that often. So I'm going to make 10 pages using Aquamarkers as main supply and try to explore as many techniques I can before the end of January.

Estella Bartlett
Magento 2 Accessory Store
Estella Bartlett is a quintessentially British Jewellery brand which was established back in 2011.
They approached us wanting an updated and fresh look to their existing eCommerce store, focusing on user experience; all alongside a much cleaner, faster and a generally tidier design. With their brief, we were then able to create them a brand new Magento 2 store with a unique set of features all designed with customers in mind and their shopping journey, one of which is an advanced search bar and also a 'stories' section to easily locate specific jewellery collections.
Making the move over to Magento 2 meant that the new site could help represent the elegance and beauty of their products alongside a frictionless user experience. When it comes to the functional side of the site, there are loads of hidden features which makes the store quick and easy to use, this includes a dedicated image-based product page and also a simple checkout process just name a couple.
As a team, we're very pleased with the outcome of the site, especially the overall design as we feel it really captures the look and feel of which Estella Bartlett are trying to portray.

I think the modern wedding couple looks for inspiration in many, many places these days, most of which is online. In that vein, I don't aim for real wedding magazine publishing often as the internet wedding inspiration options are boundless. That said, Joe and I are incredibly happy to announce that we, as Portland wedding photographers, are currently featured in Inside Weddings Magazine.
Portland Wedding Photographers
Inside Weddings real wedding feature
Scott and Shaun's Edison Ballroom wedding photos certainly are featured well in this multi-page real wedding feature. Jenny Orsini Events did a wonderful job coordinating and helped us out tremendously, at times having to keep the not-so-helpful venue staff out of the area for a mere three minutes for us to photograph the majority of these details. Melissa, our contact there, was such a help!
Below is the full spread of wonderful images from this fabulous gay wedding in New York City!
We couldn't be happier for Scott and Shaun, nearly a year married now. Oh and hey – if you're wondering why they look so familiar, it's because Shaun is the creator of the Insanity Workout and T25 Workout that's the talk of the exercise community. Both guys feature in the videos and if I'm honest, I can say it cracks me up trying to workout with them after photographing their NYC wedding at the Edison Ballroom!

In the Name Of (English Subtitled)
Catholic priest Adam lives in rural Poland, where he works with teenagers otherwise forgotten by their community. He succeeds in declining the advances of a local woman as his embrace of the priesthood has become a flight from facing the truth of his own sexuality. When he meets the taciturn son of a simple rural family, his self-imposed abstinence becomes a heavy burden.
