To restore law and order in the walled city, Au Kuen unites everyone to form a welfare association to resist the triad growing power. When a triad leader mysteriously dies under the hands of a Bajiquan master, Au Kuen and Tiu Lan investigate, and their investigation leads them to Fa Man (Grace Wong), the leader of a stripping dance troupe.

need help with covid-19 fase shields
Hi All,
I am currently 3d printing face shields for hospital/healthcare workers. I was able to source all materials and using my own filament to make the frames but I couldn't find elastics. Ideally I'd need buttonhole elastics for easy application (but any would do really) and removal and each shield requires 30-33cm of elastic to be adjustable and go over other PPE.
If you know where I can purchase several meters of the thing (width doesn't matter at this point) please let me know as it's out of stock in the stores or the stores don't operate, or you have some and willing to donate I'd be truly grateful. Unfortunately ordering it from overseas is not an option at the moment.
more info on the shields: www.prusaprinters.org...
Thanks in advance,
Our sweet pea seeds send out, April issue and Get Growing
Dear neighbours and NZ Gardener family,
Our April issue should be with our subscribers now and available in supermarkets and service stations (having been distributed prior to the lockdown restrictions). Whether or not it's on the stands yet is a bit patchy ... but then the incredibly brave and hard-working supermarket staff have quite a bit on their plate right now so I understand if there is a delay! Please, please, please everyone ... don't go out to buy it! Normally of course we love you buying NZ Gardener but right now it's far more important that you stay home and stay safe. (You can buy a copy with your online shopping though! That's safe and I think we are all in the market for something uplifting to read right now).
In this issue we offered to send out sweet pea seeds to any reader who sent us a SSAE. Just to reassure you, we will still send out sweet pea seeds to any reader who is keen to participate. We are just not quite sure when! Ignore the dates in the magazine of when you needed to send the envelope in by - that has been indefinitely extended. But we cannot wait to send you the seed and for those flowers to bloom as by then we will be well through this or even have it behind us. And keep letting us know what you are sowing and growing, send in pictures of your harvest, your flowers or what you are sharing.
We always love hearing from NZ Gardener readers but now when we are all staying apart that connection means more than you can imagine. Stay home, stay safe and stay in touch everyone. For the most updated gardening advice, subscribe to our digital e-zine Get Growing, which will be delivered to your inbox completely free.
Memory Lane Stories
I remember Ponsonby as a 13 yr old , went to Ponsonby Primary School and after school would sit with the paperboy selling The Auckland Star newspaper outside the Gluepot pub. In those days we had trolley buses going along Ponsonby Road. After school I would also do a Marriotts Grocery shop delivery on one of those bikes with a huge basket on the front :-)

Thanks for the quick reply.Installation went OK except this still happens when I try to set a highlight in RGB.This started several versions back and resists every uninstall,install.The red channel just goes haywire,any ideas?GregM
Wow. Haven't seen this one before. My first guess would be that the highlight pin is misconfigured. Click on the wrench icon to go into settings, then click on the Preview tab, and there will be a value for the highlight, which should be something like RGB(255,255,255).
If that's not it, I'd suggest resetting your prefs using regedit, or we can set up a remote support session where I access your computer.

Last Night I Met A Married Couple For Anonymous Sex
I get to decide and agree to how the various parts of the threesome are put together, each step of the way.
I've been traveling for the past 10 days, a long way away from my home, my normal life, my husband and kids.
I've crossed so many time zones that my body is in disarray, and my 10-12 hour days are spent enclosed in a building, far away from the sun. I feel like I'm on another planet.
After each long day is over, I go back to the apartment I am staying in, alone. Simultaneously both too tired to think about shopping or cooking, and giddily free from those monotonous tasks which I have to undertake every day in my normal life, so my evenings are spent eating yogurt and cereal in front of bad TV, or on the night that there was no yogurt left, dry cereal swimming in the dregs of a bottle of Grand Marnier.
It's boring.
And it's lonely.
I miss having my husband to talk to, someone to touch me or hug me after a long and emotionally draining day. I need physical contact, and I need some distraction.
I have an open marriage, and have met a variety of male lovers in my home city over the past year. I decide to sign up to a popular app in Australia for people who like to "play" outside their marriages, mostly to pass the time and see what the possibilities were. I include the usual photo of myself, face only a quarter visible, lying on my stomach, bum on display. I write that I'm in town for two nights, looking for a woman or a couple to play with. I write that I'm happy to be a Unicorn – the word the swinger community uses to describe a single woman who joins an established couple in their bedroom. I feel this is safer than meeting up with a single male, given I don't have much time at all to chat with the person I end up choosing, to get a gut feeling if they are a good match or not.
As with all apps of that genre, most of the profile pictures are varying takes on the infamous dick pic, in all their glorious shapes and sizes. But two smiling faces pop up too – smiling, attractive, friendly-looking people. I click on their profile, which lists everything from height and eye color to pubic hairstyle and specific sexual preferences. They are into the same things as me, and state they are looking for uncomplicated fun, no drama or time wasters. I send them a short message, apologizing for being forward but saying that I'm only in town for another two nights and would they be interested in meeting up?
Yes. Yes, they would be. Very much so.
Not in a pushy aggressive way, but yes.
The person answering the messages on the app is the male in the couple, I learn. Tim. He and I swap details so we can chat and swap photos on Kik, as the swinger app limits non-premium accounts to 5 messages a day.
We move the conversation to Kik, and he immediately sends two pictures, one of each of them, naked. No heads. I've already seen their faces on the app, and know that I like the look of them. I send back a similar photo of myself, compliments are exchanged in each direction, and then the logistics start.
I have a dinner planned with a friend I haven't seen for three years – what time can I get to them? Where do they live and how long will it take in an Uber? Are there plenty of Ubers out there so I can easily get home? I'm going from my current location, out to dinner then to them. I don't have sexy underwear, in fact, I'm wearing my basic white granny briefs. Tim assures me that this isn't a problem, and also says that he has shared my messages and photo with his girlfriend, Emma, and she has given the plans for the evening the green light.
Of course, we talk about protection and the fact that it is non-negotiable.
I go to my dinner, buzzing. My friend and I have a wonderful, amazing time catching up, laughing and having cocktails. Once she has left, I text them to be sure they are still keen.
Emma sends me their address, I order an Uber, and then I'm on my way.
We continue to message as my Uber takes me out there. I let them know that I have sent their details to the same trusty friend I always use as my safety friend, so she has their names, phone number and address, should anything go wrong. I didn't send my friend their pictures because it's only 7 am where she is, and two unknown naked bodies might have been too much for even the most tolerant of friends to handle.
I joke that I really hope they aren't serial killers, all the while knowing I am putting myself into a potentially stupid and dangerous situation. It's reckless of me – I have a family, small kids. But that is also what attracts me to circumstances like these, the escape from the carefully planned, carefully timed existence I usually live.
I tell them I'm nervous, and I'll need to be kissed very fast. That's the best way to help the nerves.
While I'm in the Uber they let me know that their flatmate has just come home. He's gone to bed… we'll need to be quiet.
I arrive, and of course the Uber drops me at the wrong house. I wander down the road a little until I see a well-built man standing in the street.
"Gemma?" he asks
I say yes, and then we are kissing. Easily, with no other words. He leads me into the dark house, motioning for me to remove my shoes at the door. He takes my hand to guide me to the bedroom, opens the door, and Emma is there on the bed, in a white negligée.
From there it is all hands and mouths, kissing and touching. Some talking, some laughing. It's easy. It's fun. And it's very good.
I enjoy being a part of their intimacy, feel privileged to have been invited into their private world. As their Unicorn, my role is as a sort of sex cheerleader, telling her how lucky she is to have him, how good he is, and telling him how lucky he is to have her, how gorgeous and sexy she is. She enjoys watching him give me pleasure, and he enjoys watching me pleasure her.
They are respectful, although who I am as a person is not actually important in this game. It's about them, and I am an interchangeable part – an extra piece in the sexual configuration, another conduit for fun.
I enjoy this role. I've been in control from the second I messaged them on the app, and as a Unicorn, I had plenty of choices available. It was me who decided to go out there to them, and I get to decide and agree to how the various parts of the threesome are put together, each step of the way.
When the evening comes to an end, everyone pulls on clothes again. No more kissing, but easy chatting. We all say we'd like to meet again, should the opportunity arise – unlikely as that is. I call my Uber and Tim escorts me outside to wait for it, leading me by the hand once more through the dark house.
We say goodbye, and I leave, feeling satisfied. Empowered. Like the wonderful and exceedingly rare creature that a Unicorn is.
I can't wait to be one again.

Traditional Methods of Hair Removal vs. Laser Hair Removal0 Comments
There are many different type of hair removal and you may have found yourself trying just about every method in the book. There is shaving, waxing, using an epilator, bleaching and even sugar waxing! Over the years, these methods have had varying success.
The problem with many of these methods is that they simply do not last long enough. Shaving may be a temporary success but the very next day you may find yourself needing to shave again. Waxing can last slightly longer, but can be painful to endure and DIY kits are often messy and unreliable.
Laser hair removal is not a new idea, but it is growing in popularity because of the permanent, lasting effects and benefits. After a short course of laser hair removal treatments, your hair can be removed from its root. This means no re-growth and no unsightly chunks of hair.
Laser hair removal is therefore a more cost effective solution as there are no longer any needs to buy shavers or waxing strips. It is also very useful for the modern woman (or man!) who leads a busy life and doesn't have time to worry about their hair removal. Treatments can last around an hour so you can even go in your lunch hour.
As mentioned above, laser hair removal is not just a woman thing. Many men have the treatment to remove hair on their back, face, chest or even arms and legs.
About Premier Laser
We have many years' experience delivering first class hair removal and skin treatments in our laser skin clinics in London and Surrey. We have performed over 300,000 treatments and still counting.

Walsh | Thornton Academy | Class of 2016 | Senior PhotosOctober 25, 2015
Walsh is the first person to come through and request his shoot to take place on the campus of Thornton Academy. I thought that was a great idea since the grounds can make for some nice shots. I'm surprised I don't see more people doing it to be honest. It was definitely a little on the cool side but Walsh stuck it out before heading down to NH for hockey practice. Here are some of my favorites from out time with him. Enjoy!
To book or inquire about a shoot of your own, please contact me.

Agnes by Senso. I think this a really a nice wedge and having the cut out in the back and front of the shoe adds a little edge to it. The shoe comes in 5 different colors so there is something for everyone. Neon colors are trending right now, so this is a win win purchase, your feet will be stylish and comfortable.
AZALEA by ALL CAPS, like always I found these shoes on solestruck. The azaleas are a great pair of shoes. They are funky, futuristic and they make a statement. I always try to find shoes that make a statement because, that's my favorite part of an outfit and shoes can change the dynamics of any outfit.
So, this is my latest purchase and I am so in love with this shoe. The shoe is called Jeffrey Campbell "Night-Walk". I feel so sexy when I have on this shoe and I love it when people ask me how I walk in them. Anyway, if you ever get a chance to purchase the Jeffrey Campbell "Night-Walk" shoe it is worth every penny. Solestruckhas them in at least 10 different colors so you shouldn't run into anyone that has the same color (hopefully). I got mine from a shoe boutique in Buckhead (Atlanta, GA). Photos came from the solestruck website.
Jeffrey Campbell Nev-R $129.95. Of course I found them on solestruck! my favorite website.

In recent decades, anthropogenic disasters such as climate change are increasingly adding to natural disasters, both impacting on people and assets of built infrastructure, resulting in loss of lives and damage cost. It is therefore important to understand the impacts of disasters before they strike and the vulnerability of certain sectors of the economy, enabling us to take precautionary measures to protect people and minimise damage. Disaster analysis has become a powerful tool for assessing potential economic losses, and in particular for preparing recovery plans and developing scenarios for building resilience into the economy. This unit will provide a comprehensive introduction to the field of disaster analysis, with particular emphasis on simulating and quantifying the effects of a disaster on an economy, both directly and indirectly as a result of cascading disruptions of supply chains. The aim of the unit is to equip students with an understanding of quantitative and qualitative approaches underlying the field of disaster analysis, and their importance for planning resilient economies. In particular, students will study the technique of disaster input-output analysis and will undertake hands-on exercises, modeling disasters and shocks at various scales. Furthermore, students will be able to explore the many applications of disaster modelling in assessing the impacts of floods, droughts, space weather, diseases, and a collapse of animal and plant populations. This unit of study includes guest lecturers from academia and industry.
1x1.5hr lecture and 1x1hr tutorial per week
written essay, oral presentation, comprehensive notes from lectures and tutorials
Comprehensive reference lists will be distributed to students each week.

Wine Recommendation: "Goia" By Castello di Amorosa (California Rosé)
"Goia" By Castello di Amorosa
(NAPA, California)
About 5 years ago, I went to California on business for one month. It changed my life.
I went to Napa and Sonoma Valleys up North, and I went to the Korbel Champagnerie, Benziger Winery, and Castello di Amorosa Winery. Castello di Amorosa is a castle – literally. Click here to take a virtual tour of the amazing architecture!
The founder of the winery built his own personal castle that grows and makes wine – a 13th century, Tuscan castle and winery.
Rosato di Sangiovese
Goia is "an Italian style rose with a rosy-red garnet color, bursting with white plum, red raspberries, tart pomegranate and red delicious apple aromas."

How To Pronounce "Florida"
I was born elsewhere, but lived several years in Florida – I always pronounce it "FLAR-ih-duh".
If you grew up there, you pronounce it "FLOOR-ih-duh".
Actually, the latter is closest to the original Spanish name, but either pronunciation is acceptable. However, depending on which way you choose to say it, they can tell if you're a native!

Journeying Inward Individual and Group Spiritual Direction Offered at Ghost Ranch
following the path of sacred connections…Spiritual Direction at Ghost Ranch
Spiritual Life Services, Contact Stephen Picha at 505.28.1860 for more information or to schedule an individual or group spiritual direction session. email@example.com
The Object of Spiritual Direction
(edited from a quote by Rabbi Jacob Staub on the Spiritual Directors International website)"Spiritual direction is the contemplative practice of helping another person or group to awaken to the mystery called God in all of life, and to respond to that discovery in a growing relationship of freedom and commitment." (James Keegan, SJ, on behalf of the 2005 Coordinating Council of Spiritual Directors International)
Individual Spiritual Direction
Spiritual direction is not therapy.
Spiritual direction is not financial or emotional advice.Instead, through sacred listening – a prayerful practice – your spiritual director listens to you, allowing you to share your experiences. Then, together, you explore how God is calling you to a deeper relationship with the Holy One. Spiritual direction helps you develop spiritual practices like new and renewed ways to pray, meditation, and contemplation. Spiritual life grows through these practices, enriching your life.
Is your soul yearning for a deeper connection with the Spirit?
Group Direction
Through guided conversation and exercises, participants are invited…
- to reflect on how their courses, personal interactions, and the landscape of Ghost Ranch are nurturing their spirituality
- to be open to deepening their relationships with the Holy One in new, creative ways, possibly including an expanded definition and experience of prayer
- to contemplate how the gifts received at Ghost Ranch might be taken back out into the world enabling healing connections with all of God's creatures and with Creation itself.
Rates & Scheduling Sessions
Please call Spiritual Life Services to ask questions, and to schedule a session with a spiritual director at Ghost Ranch. When you call we will let you know the times that are available and will make your reservation for you. Payments are due at the time of scheduling.

Spiritual Direction Team

Each spiritual director has completed an intensive program of study in spiritual direction, is certified by Spiritual Directors International, and is eager to accompany you on your spiritual journey while you are at Ghost Ranch. Some guests schedule one session during their stay, other persons request regular sessions throughout their residence here. Please know that we will do all we can to provide caring spiritual companionship during your stay.

Massillon defensive coordinator Craig McConnell wants to see that part of performance improve as team goes from first to second scrimmage.
MASSILLON There is a Biblical parable in the Gospel of Matthew about two houses. One is built on sand; the other built on rock.
When the storms arrive, the house built on sand crumbles and washes away. The house built on rock, though, stands strong in the storm.
New Massillon defensive coordinator Craig McConnell wants his defense to be like that house built on the rock. However, to be that, it starts with what it's built upon.
For McConnell, the rock upon which the defense is built is its base looks and basic fundamentals. Almost two weeks into the preseason, he knows nothing more can be built upon that base until he knows his players have that base understood.
"Going into the first scrimmage (Tuesday at Avon), as a defensive staff, we wanted to focus on, 'Can our kids line up in our base defense?' and 'Can they run to the football?,'" McConnell said recently. "We didn't game plan for anybody. It was just, our base against whatever they ran and let's roll."
That initial scrimmage at Avon became like the Zapruder film for Massillon's defensive staff over the course of the following day. They watched it individually, collectively and with their respective position groups, with each viewing another opportunity to find a nugget which could help solidify the base in order to build a much stronger defense for the regular season.
Avon only managed three combined touchdowns against either the Tigers' first- or second-unit defenses, and those didn't come until the scrimmage shifted into a red-zone situation format. Still, regardless of how many times the opponent may have cross the goal line, there was a few things McConnell walked away believing needed to be rectified in order to progress forward.
"For us, I think it's fixing some of our alignment issues," McConnell said. "Some of the angles and the way that we tackled. As far as effort, as far as where our scheme fits, I'd grade us at a 'C' right now. I think we fixed some things we needed to fix (Wednesday) and we're going to move forward."
For Massillon, moving forward means preparing for the second of three preseason scrimmages, this time Saturday against Berea-Midpark at Paul Brown Tiger Stadium. The scrimmage will be another gauge of where the Tiger defense has grown in three practice days since their first engagement with outside competition.
They'll also have a better understanding, through experience, of what the opposition is doing. Not that Massillon's coaches - on either side of the ball - overly game plan for scrimmages regardless, but they did very little going into Avon to scheme toward what it does really well as an offense.
For Avon, that strength was through run-pass options, which is how it moved the football effectively on its first 10-play series against the Tiger first-unit defense. It's similar in some ways to what Berea-Midpark - coached by former Tiger offensive coordinator Jon Hunek - will do as well.
"They're a big RPO team," McConnell said of Avon. "We didn't game plan versus an RPO team. We game planned versus our base fronts and our base coverages. It is what it is with us. I think going into Berea we understand a little bit more what they do. It'll be a little bit different, but I want to see our kids line up, run and play."
That's now the goal for Massillon's defense as it builds toward Saturday. McConnell isn't setting ridiculous expectations for the group as a whole to achieve that he didn't set for the first scrimmage.
Instead, those goals - like the defense McConnell wants his players to master - is basic.
"Did we fix our problems?," McConnell said. "Did our kids learn from (Wednesday), from film and from practice, and are we correcting our mistakes? At the end of the day, if our base isn't right, then nothing else will be."

This seemed to get very little uptake in the mainstream media... perhaps for the better. Nevertheless, I thought it was worth sharing here:
From the article:
Two Marin County men were cited by federal authorities over a drone helicopter buzzing around Alcatraz Island, the National Park Service reported.
The operator of the remote-controlled helicopter, which is equipped with high-definition cameras, was Devin Hedrick, an aerial photographer who lives in Greenbrae. Hedrick's service, Hover Effect LLC, offers airborne video and still photography for real estate listings, music videos and television shows.
On Tuesday, working from a boat on the bay, Hedrick was operating the electric helicopter for a client, Bruce Paquett of Sausalito, whose project involves images of Alcatraz. According to park service spokeswoman Alexandra Picavet, the helicopter, which has a rotor span of about 6 feet, was flying low around the island, frightening the birds and swooping over the tourists' ferry dock.
The U.S. Coast Guard, carrying a National Park Service ranger, approached their boat and confiscated the video. After watching it, the park service issued citations to both Hedrick and Paquett.
"Their own footage showed us what they were doing, which was scaring the shorebirds from their nests and getting too close to the people on the dock," Picavet said.
Hedrick was cited on suspicion of disturbing wildlife, operating aircraft within 500 feet of a boat dock, creating hazardous conditions and operating an aircraft within the Federal Aviation Administration-imposed closure of 2,000 feet above the island.
Paquett was cited on suspicion of filming without a permit.
Alcatraz is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which is managed by the National Park Service.
Hedrick, reached by telephone, said he thought the boat was 500 feet away.
"There certainly are some things I should have been more clear about, instead of just taking the advice of the boat driver," he said.

It can't be long before the first prosecution, it would seem these guys have put themselves squarely in the cross hairs. Especially if the rangers still have the footage and want to take it further.
Get ready for more stories like this as the FAA starts taking their blinders off and starts taking a more active role by cracking down on "illegal operations". According to the FAA, right now, there is zero commercial (in the private sector that is) use of UAVs allowed (this includes remotely piloted helicopters and airplanes as well, does not have to have an autopilot onboard). To put it plain and simple, if you are a private entity and you make money by selling your services or products produced with a UAV, it is illegal. Sad but true.
So be careful out there if that is your business. Think about where and how your are operating because more and more people are going to start reporting you to the authorities if they think you are bothering them.
Bartering for your services is legal, so don't trade for cash!
No it's not in aviation, that would be considered valuable consideration
Actually it's been done already. At least in Thailand. Few weeks ago local Thai police captured group of users who delivered/tried to deliver different items to Thai prison. What did they deliver was not mentioned but rumors says that it was mobile phones and other similar size payloads. Local authorities seized all their tools.
Only comment was that "Local group used high-tech equipment to deliver illegal product". According picture on local newspaper it was hexacopter and some normal rc-helicopters.
At least this trip ended... Cops 1, Bad guys 0
And yeah we gon't like 100 phone calls next day "Was it yours...". No it was not :)
They were probably copying the recent one from Brazil
I liked the bow and arrow cell phone delivery best myself. As I just said somewhere else, simple is often best!
It depends on how low it was & how big it was. A 6ft rotor diameter flying near people is bad. Operating it for money, over a crowded national park, is just asking the feds to bust you.
If you are not operating for sport and recreation it is illegal. It doesn't matter how you are paid or compensated. The FAA is very good at figuring out if you are operating commercially.
(a) IN GENERAL.—Notwithstanding any other provision of law
relating to the incorporation of unmanned aircraft systems into
Federal Aviation Administration plans and policies, including this
subtitle, the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration
may not promulgate any rule or regulation regarding a model
aircraft, or an aircraft being developed as a model aircraft, if—
(1) the aircraft is flown strictly for hobby or recreational
(2) the aircraft is operated in accordance with a communitybased
set of safety guidelines and within the programming
of a nationwide community-based organization;
(3) the aircraft is limited to not more than 55 pounds
unless otherwise certified through a design, construction,
inspection, flight test, and operational safety program administered
by a community-based organization;
(4) the aircraft is operated in a manner that does not
interfere with and gives way to any manned aircraft; and
(5) when flown within 5 miles of an airport, the operator
of the aircraft provides the airport operator and the airport
air traffic control tower (when an air traffic facility is located
at the airport) with prior notice of the operation (model aircraft
operators flying from a permanent location within 5 miles of
an airport should establish a mutually-agreed upon operating
procedure with the airport operator and the airport air traffic
control tower (when an air traffic facility is located at the
(b) STATUTORY CONSTRUCTION.—Nothing in this section shall
be construed to limit the authority of the Administrator to pursue
enforcement action against persons operating model aircraft who
endanger the safety of the national airspace system.
(c) MODEL AIRCRAFT DEFINED.—In this section, the term ''model
aircraft'' means an unmanned aircraft that is—
(1) capable of sustained flight in the atmosphere;
(2) flown within visual line of sight of the person operating
the aircraft; and
(3) flown for hobby or recreational purposes.
I saw this news story, too. I'm annoyed that they refer to a remote-controlled helicopter as a drone, but I guess that's the buzzword right now so it draws more eyeballs.
What I think is most interesting is that the FAA was not involved in this at all. The National Park Service issued the citations and none of the citations were related to UAV operation. Every National Park has a 2,000ft boundary for all aircraft -- it doesn't matter if its remote controlled, uav, cessna, or leer jet -- aircraft are required to stay out of National Parks, and Alcatraz is a National Park.
It sounds like the FAA could impose further sanctions if they wanted to.

You are hereHomeNewsCurrent NewsPEI Named As One of the Best Workplaces in Ireland
Date: 27th February, 2020
PEI is delighted to announce that it has been officially recognised as one of the Best Workplaces in Ireland in 2020. PEI was recognised at the 18th annual Great Place to Work Best Workplaces in Ireland awards in the Clayton Hotel on Burlington Road, Dublin on Wednesday 27th February.
As an company committed to developing high-trust relationships throughout every level of its organisation, PEI was understandably delighted to have been officially recognised as one of the Best Workplaces in Ireland in 2020, yet again, jumping 2 places from our postion in 2019.
The Best Workplace in Ireland awards showcase organisations that hold a steadfast focus in ensuring their workplaces are the best that they can be and are testament to companies and employees who relentlessly strive to create a positive work culture.
PEI has consistently featured in the TOP 50 Best Workplaces in Ireland every year it had entered the competition over the previous 18 years. The competition is assessed through Great Place to Work's robust 'Trust Index©' employee survey and a thorough 'Culture Audit©' assessment of their policies and practices.
Great Place to Work Ireland is part of a global network of culture consultants, with offices in 48 countries using an established methodology to publish lists at country, regional, and global levels. The best known of these is the Fortune 100 list of Best Companies to Work For in the United States.
The key defining feature of a great workplace is the level of trust that exists within it. From an employee's viewpoint, the definition of a great workplace is one where you trust the people you work with, you have great pride in what you do, and you enjoy the people you work with. The Great Place to Work Institute assesses the policies and practices in place in organisations under nine key areas: Inspiring, Speaking, Listening, Caring, Developing, Thanking, Hiring, Celebrating, and Sharing. They then benchmark these practices against other organisations in that country. The second key component of the assessment is an anonymous Trust Index survey that gathers the perceptions of employees under five dimensions: Credibility, Respect, Fairness, Pride, and Camaraderie. Finally, there is an in-depth qualitative analysis of open ended comments from employees.
The full 2020 lists of organisations and award winners, as well as rankings from previous years, are available at www.greatplacetowork.ie.

With the recent AHC Media relaunch, ePublishing partnered with Multipub to handle AHC audience data to enhance reader experience, allowing seamless access to premium content, subscription and registration data, and transactions. With multiple product and subscription offerings, AHC wanted readers to sign on once to access a diverse catatogue featuring eLearning, premium content, and downloads, and view and manage account information.
The new alliance tranforms AHC's business and their ability to leverage audience data to improve site traffic and critical performance indicators:
- Most importantly, eliminate data silos. You'll have a complete view of each reader's activity, purchases and content preferences through reports available in MultiPub. Learn what they're buying, responding to and downloading to tailor marketing and renewal messaging.
- Target new revenue opportunities. Once you know your reader's preferences, you can tailor a sales pitch for each reader or group. For example, when a subscriber shows interest in exclusive online content on a specific topic by clicking links in a newsletter, the system will identify these prospects. That data can then be used to promote related products.
- Create multiple pricing structures tailored to specific groups. For example, if event attendees show interest in articles from your publication, you can develop special offers or bundle subscription pricing to cross-sell to event attendees.
- Discover untapped markets. This valuable audience data can also be used to develop compelling new products.
- Handle transactions seamlessly through your website's shopping cart. Data collected there is automatically uploaded into MultiPub, saving you time, while increasing accuracy.
- Onboard new customers more easily and ensure they're receiving the full value of their purchase. MultiPub reports can tell you each reader's activity on your site and if they need to be encouraged to use their subscription. If a new or renewing client hasn't accessed their account in 90 days, you can use that insight to follow up with a service contact and ultimately boost retention.
- Streamline account management. Users can modify account information, renew subscriptions, review purchases and re-download digital products saving them, and your service staff, valuable time.
- Last, but not least, enhance the customer experience. Purchase information is compiled to the master database in "real time" - no more batch updates. Your customers will have immediate access to online products. What's more, your marketing staff can nimbly organize internal mailings with updated customer lists.

I'm a bit too tired to post very much tonight.
We went with Brooke & Freeland to JR's comedy club (Which I thought was pronounced JR's and I learned was pronouned Jr.'s. Whoops!) It was HILARIOUS. Maybe you're thinking, "Duh. It was a comedy club, what'd you expect?" But really? I didn't have very high expectations. Our drinks & food were yummy and Josh Sneed was a hoot.
Student Dr. Jennings, is laughing really the best medicine? If so, I think we could bottle our laughter from tonight and sell it for at Walgreen's. Oh, ha ha ha ha. Lame.
Anywhoos, then we went to State street where they were having a hot rod/car show. It was so much fun for two reasons:
1. Really cool vintage cars lining the street for blocks and blocks (we even saw a few wagons!)
2. FANTASTIC people watching
I'm off to bed but you should check out J.R.'s if you have the chance ( I refuse to call it Jr.'s)

Easy Christmas Bakes
The festive period is the perfect opportunity for smaller outlets to branch out with their cake selection. Add some seasonal flavours and toppings to your most popular treats and you'll have a lot more than mince pies to offer this Christmas.
"Cafes and snack bars can add premium to their cakes by making their flavours seasonal," said Helen Vass, pastry chef consultant. "Jazz up simple cakes with seasonal garnishes such as sugarpaste snowflakes or chocolate stars – small details will make a big impact!"
What to serve
Mince pies continue to be a customer pleaser but how about giving them a twist? Scrumptious Cakes, in Chatburn, Lancashire makes mince slices as an alternative to the traditional pie. "Mince pies are so popular that we decided to make mince slices – like jam slices – as a change, and our customers loved them!" said owner Jemma Louise Green. "It was a change from the normal mince pie and worked exceptionally well for those customers eating on the go."
Don't be shy when it comes to decorating cakes and biscuits with colourful icing and festive trimmings. Shortbread biscuits and gingerbread shaped as Christmas trees or stars will be a winner, or get even more creative and use coloured icing to decorate your gingerbread men (and women) wearing scarfs and hats, or even dressed as Santa and Mrs Claus!
Christmas cupcakes
Cupcakes continue to be a popular treat, so why not have fun with them this Christmas? Sprinkle some snowflakes on top or pop a mini snowman or reindeer face onto your icing to make it a show-stopping cupcake that will allow you to add a slightly higher price than normal. Use seasonal flavours of spiced apple cider and cranberry or chocolate peppermint to give your cupcakes a festive kick.
Take away
It's always a lovely treat for customers to be able to take their cakes home in a cake box or equally attractive packaging. Why not consider a festive box or simply use traditionally coloured napkins of green or red to create a seasonal feel for customers?
Twist on tradition
Want to put a twist on your popular cakes and treats? For scones, cranberry and mixed spice scones make a great alternative to a fruit version. Here are a few more festive flavours:
• Cranberry and orange meringue pie
• Chocolate orange cheesecake
• Chestnut caramel shortbread
• Spiced Victoria sponge cake

Good evening golfers,
This is a strange time we are facing right now. I've never imagined golf being a place that is not safe. We are asking for confirmation as to whether or not golf is allowed to take place or not. I don't believe the issue is the act of golfing, I believe it is more about going to extremes to try and make this all go away much faster. If we are informed that we are allowed to remain open we will keep everyone updated but until then this is the situation. We will be temporarily closed until further notice. This means that NO ONE can be on the course except for staff. If you have a pass you may be tempted to go out for a few holes, but we ask you respect our request during this time.
That being said this is going to be a tough few weeks for everyone. If you are looking for ways to support your local golf pros, you can always buy lessons to use later on or order that new driver you've been thinking about. Just send us an email and we can let you know how to get ahold of our instructors. You may also purchase your 2020 players club cards if you did not in November or December. Remember if you purchase them in the fall you do save money.
Thank you all for you support. We hope to see you all soon.

There is no judgment if you realize that taking care of yourself was not even on your radar. But, I do hope that as you read the rest of this post, you realize the importance of making you a priority as well as finding easy and practical ways to do so.
Why You Need To Be On The Top Of Your To-Do List
Before you click away from yet another self-care post, pause for a minute to reflect on whether you are actively pursuing self-care or simply just reading about it.
You see, the difference between the two is very real and significant!
When you fully embrace making you a priority, you realize how essential it is for your ability to live life. This time for you is quite literally your lifeline.
However, when you just read about it, you are unable to fully experience these benefits.
You miss out on those feel-good emotions that make you feel alive. You miss out on being able to serve others from a place of desire and compassion, rather than from a place of resentment. And you miss out on living life to its fullest, rather than just merely surviving.
Oh, dear friend, self-care is one of the most important things you can do each and every day.
Let's vow right now to let go of the lies that enter our thinking that we don't deserve or need time for ourselves. There is nothing further from the truth.
To live a thriving life requires you to take time for yourself.
Rethinking Self-Care
We have been conditioned to think self-care comes with large time commitments and costs. A pampering, if you will.
Mani's, pedi's, and massages fall under this pampering.
While there is absolutely nothing wrong with pampering oneself and are, in fact, needed every once in a while, they do nothing to help you grow.
I believe the best self-care you can provide for yourself is to do activities that will grow you, not just pamper you.
Let me explain.
Pampering is wonderful in that it gives you rest. It allows you to time to slow down and breathe. And it gives you an opportunity to be served, rather than always doing the serving. What an amazing gift that is!
However, when you only focus on self-care from a pampering perspective, you miss out on the opportunity to grow.
And it is this growth that makes you a better person – a healthier and more peaceful and confident mom, wife, daughter, friend, and child of God.
So what does this new self-care look like?
- Making time to find and cook a healthy meal or exercise for 30 minutes.
- Getting up at the crack of dawn to have quiet time with your Heavenly Father.
- Texting a friend, asking if she can do coffee, lunch, or go on a walk.
- Saying 'yes' to doing something on your bucket list.
- Asking your husband or friend for a night out.
- Volunteering for an organization you passionately believe in.
- Purchasing a book or class that will grow your resiliency skills.
Friend, the list of self-care activities that grow you as a person are endless. But, they do not happen on their own. They require you – to be intentional about consistently blocking time off your calendar and then showing up, even when others want to fill that slot with their own agenda.
To some, that might seem harsh, but the reality is, you are a priority!
Jesus made Himself a priority. When He was in the thick of His ministry, He didn't just keep going day in and day out. He pulled away from the crowds and rested. He made Himself a priority before He was in the self-neglect danger zone.
Let's be daughters that follow in Jesus' footprints!
I encourage you to use Jesus' as the perfect role model on serving yourself before you serve others.
Now, before I go, I want to know – what self-care activity will you choose today that will grow you and not just pamper you? Go ahead and hit reply to this email and let me know!

Winston-Salem's soccer HQ makes Grins its first beveragePosted: May 3, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: nutrition, Where to buy Grins Leave a comment
Soccer Unlimited in Winston-Salem celebrated its 30th year in business March 12. In all those three decades, the soccer retailer, which has been a gathering point for Winston-Salem's soccer community as it has grown, hasn't offered beverages for sale.
Until now, that is. Last week, Grins became the first beverage President Brian Fitzgerald put in his shop.
Fitzgerald said he learned about Grins while working with Winston-Salem native and Major League Soccer player Wells Thompson on his Wells Thompson Signature Soccer camp back in January. Grins was the official beverage sponsor of the camp.
Fitzgerald–who doesn't go for high-sugar beverages in his own home–said Grins' nutritional profile appealed to him.
"In our family, we don't drink soft drinks or Gatorade, … so we loved the idea of a low-calorie, better-for-you beverage," he said. "It's the only thing we've put in the store."
A lot of kids come to Soccer Unlimited fresh off the field from soccer practices, games or tournaments, and Fitzgerald said he wanted them to be able to grab something to help them rehydrate–he just wanted to make sure that something wasn't going to load them down with sugar or sodium.
"I like everything about the drink and thought it fit in well with our philosophy here and the vibe in the store," he said.

Spreading Grins everywhere we canPosted: March 9, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: schools, the Grins team, Where to buy Grins Leave a comment
It's been a busy several months here at Grins headquarters, but there's never a bad day when you're selling Grins.
From the Wells Thompson Signature Soccer camp in January to the meetings we've had with school officials all over the Carolinas to the Southeast Petro-Food Marketing Expo we attended last week in Myrtle Beach, people everywhere seem to love the taste of Grins and the positive message we carry.
We wanted to keep you up-to-date on a few things, and we hope you'll stay tuned to this blog in the months to come, as we expect to have more exciting news about The Official Beverage of Happy People.
- Grins is now available in all Quality Mart convenience stores. You can find a list of all their stores here, and don't forget to check our full list of retail locations here to see where else we are available.
- Grins continues to be a hit in school cafeterias. We've heard from school administrators that kids are regularly choosing us over their usual Gatorade and other sports drinks. That's great news, because we know we provide a healthier product than these beverages, and the reason we exist is to help kids (and everyone, for that matter) make healthier beverage choices. We've started a separate page on Grins in Schools to provide information on where we're being served. Check back often, because we expect this list to grow rapidly.
