What inspired you to work in the stationery industry/retail?
I've always loved making things, drawing, painting, and crafting. At university I found myself using the print studio for practical reasons, as hardly anyone else used the studio there was plenty of space for making. After university I found a job working at a private stationery company in London. I really found my passion there, in being able to talk to people and create unique things from scratch. I loved the process of speaking with a client and extracting their ideas, designing something that fits, then physically creating it and seeing it through to the final physical item.
Your CV in a nutshell.
2003-2006 - University for the Creative Arts, Farnham, studying Arts & Media.
2006-2008 - CK Press/Walton Street Stationery Company. I was working as a print consultant and print finisher. I would discuss client projects and quality check them, doing all the hand-finishing jobs like scoring and folding, ribbon tying, and lining envelopes. I looked after the lovely shop too, organising the multitude of stationery bits and bobs.
2008-2010 - Mount Street Printers. I was head-hunted by Mount Street to work in their larger print company. Here I was trained in stationery design so would speak to customers, take their orders, create the design, then also do the finishing. I loved the process of seeing the order through from start to finish.
January 2010 - I began the business plan for my own project, Meticulous Ink. Over the next few months there were many changes, tweaks and amendments to get it perfect. I put in my life savings, secured a small family loan, three credit cards and a business loan to get the company going.
September 2010 - I collected the keys to the shop on Walcot Street in Bath.
October 2010 - We opened our doors on the 23rd. It was a beautiful day!
2010-2018 - I've worked insanely hard every single day in a place I adore, doing what I absolutely love.
Tell us about your company, service etc
Meticulous Ink has four main areas, the principal one being our bespoke printing. We offer utterly bespoke design and print, meaning clients can choose the exact weight, colour, texture and thickness of paper, the print method, shape and size. The list is endless! We don't like to work from templates as we love to create new and unusual print projects.
We have a retail store in the beautiful city of Bath, stocking our own-brand stationery alongside our favourite paper goods and calligraphy supplies. This is also where we do all our printing, so customers can visit and see how the magic happens! Our store was featured in the Small Business Focus section of the Stationery Matters Spring/Summer issue last year!
We are stocked wholesale in a number of different stores across the UK and the world, and we collaborate with other companies to make unique stationery sets.
Our workshops in hand lettering and calligraphy are very popular. We hold them at our store in Bath, as well as across the South West, and in London. We teach private workshops too, for businesses and private parties. These are always really fun and give us the opportunity to share our enthusiasm about stationery and writing.
Describe your role.
Owner, manager, problem solver, delegator, stationery designer, print consultant, book keeper, print finisher, calligrapher, paper and stationery geek, enthusiast, optimist and Christmas party planner.
What's in store for the next 12 months?
We are concentrating on making our website wonderfully full of all our favourite stationery and paper goods, as well as getting lots more examples of our bespoke projects up, too. We're now offering brush lettering workshops alongside our beginner and advanced copperplate calligraphy workshops, which are as popular as ever. Most exciting for the recent festive season was my appearance on Kirstie's Handmade Christmas teaching her how to make a pop-up Christmas card! It's been great fun making examples of pop-ups. Now we are in the New Year we're concentrating on improving the bespoke printing service and gearing up for the wedding season.
How is your company facing some of the challenges presented by the current retail climate?
I think keeping flexible and branching out into new avenues is really important. The popularity of our workshops has really surprised us, so we're now offering lots more dates at our store so that we can continue to spread the love of writing and stationery. Plus our website was a little neglected for a while, and I think the online presence is becoming more and more important. I also like to keep my focus on the independent shop, remembering the biggest difference that a small shop can offer a customer is the experience in store. Getting to know your regulars and remembering them, knowing what they like and giving them value when they visit is crucial for keeping on top of the competition.
How has the industry changed in the last 10 years?
People are a lot more interested in what we are doing, and are still amazed that we use our beautiful 1960s printing presses to produce the majority of the work in store. The style of design has certainly changed, with people preferring something more homely, crafted, and rustic. The huge popularity of calligraphy and hand lettering has been wonderful, too. I think people like the thought that they can create something beautiful themselves.
What are you proudest of in your career so far?
I'm proud of having the company and the shop, and that I've been able to support four wonderful employees. I'm proud of having been on Kirstie's Handmade Christmas. I'm really proud of designing a book cover with Mr B's. There have been so many really great moments and I love that I still get to do this everyday.
How do you see analogue and digital working together in retail over the coming years?
We use a perfect combination of digital and analogue on our bespoke and retail work. Our card and stationery designs are a combination of digital typesetting and analogue illustration and calligraphy.
All designs are completed on the computer, then we create a polymer plate that fits into the 1960s Original Heidelberg printing press. These machines print all our own brand stationery and bespoke projects. For us the appeal of the analogue letterpress print method is the texture - creating something 3D from a 2D sheet. The two go hand in hand in our business and I think digital methods are essential to keeping analogue alive.
Do you have a favourite Pantone?
Today my favourite Pantone colour is 332U, (a bright mint) though it does change depending on my mood!

Who else read that title and said: 'That's me'? I know I did. And I'm the person that wrote it.
How many of us lie in bed at night thinking and dwelling on something we said or did that day? How many of us wish that we might have behaved differently in a given situation? How many of us have said something in a conversation only to question internally mere seconds later as to why we said it?
We beat ourselves up over things that have passed. We beat ourselves up over things that have yet to come. We beat ourselves up.
The real question is though, when thinking on those times, are you being too hard on yourself? Are you blaming yourself too much? Possibly even for something that no one else has given a second thought.
The reason I'm bringing this up is because of something that has been said to me by 2 different people in as many days. One of those people even asked me if I was ok? The implication being that she was worried I was depressed.
The reason they said it to me was because they were reading my blog. See, I've went a bit public with it. It's no longer something where I feel anonymous. It's not just to strangers on the internet. It's to people who know me. People from my past, people from my present, people who have known me all my life.
The thing is they weren't questioning my development. They weren't questioning the progress I have made and will continue to make. They weren't questioning the sense of vigour and drive that now propels me. They were questioning my view of past events. Basically my married life.
Both people thought I was being too hard on myself. They actually know me very well. I would confide, and still do, in one of them quite a lot. She knows almost every detail of my life story.
Both of them thought I was painting a bleaker picture of myself than I deserved. That I was painting myself in too harsh a light. That I was accepting too much of the blame in the breakdown of my marriage. That I was being too critical of myself.
It set me thinking. Gees what doesn't. We always hear about not blaming others. How it's the best way forward. Accept responsibility for your actions. Then move on.
But what if we take that too far. What if we don't blame others but instead end up blaming ourselves too much. Isn't that equally as damaging?
So that set me off on a quest of Googling blame. The essence of being too hard on yourself.
I've found information on why you shouldn't blame yourself, why you shouldn't blame others, why we blame society, why we blame victims, why we blame God or a higher power.
That set me thinking again. Why do we feel the need to blame at all? I can't find anything about that. I even searched the direct term 'why we feel the need to blame?'. There was one link with that specific line. Turns out it was about a specific thing. Not the need to blame in general.
So where do we draw the line? At what point can we say it's not someone else's fault. It's not our fault. It's no one's fault. It's just one of those things.
When do we stop being so critical of ourselves, of others? When can we learn to just let it go? Give ourselves some peace of mind. Let us fall asleep without running through all those unnecessary scenarios where we are overly critical about the things we have said or done. When do we stop beating ourselves up?
Is that a place we can reach? Or do we just end up blaming our own minds for everything instead?
p.s. If anyone has further clarity on this please let me know. Can we really be 'blameless'? Have you felt the need to blame today?

Withlocals offers families the opportunity to discover the city in a relaxing, trouble-free and fun way. By introducing our Family Friendly portfolio, kids can now embark on exciting treasure hunts, turn into a Gladiator/Rembrandt/Chef for a day and eat local treats en route. All while the grown-ups get to listen to the enchanting local stories of their family-friendly host.
If you are interested in hosting a family-friendly experience, we are looking for hosts who have a playful side and the ability to keep a diverse group engaged.
Personality traits that make a great family-friendly host:
- Parents, grandparents, aunts & uncles, teachers, au-pairs
- Enjoy spending time with children
- Adaptable & spontaneous
- Good at multitasking - splitting attention between the grown-ups and the children
Types of Family Friendly offers:
Withlocals Originals Family Friendly
This is when we adapt the itinerary of an existing Withlocals Originals so that is suitable for kids ages 2 - 10. This means we shorten the route to be maximum 2 hours long. We aim to include child-friendly stops, such as a park. We also include a treat for each child (ice-cream, local treat).
There will also be a treasure hunt and quiz created for the children that the hosts use to keep the kids interacting. The treasure hunt is a sheet with 4 or 6 pictures of things the kids can look for along the way. They can be obvious like city highlights, certain elements typical for the city (e.g. gondolas in Venice), etc. Elements with a nice story are even better!
Here's an example: Treasure hunt
Quiz questions: The quiz is another game to play with the kids during the tour. It has 5 questions related to the tour and the city, meant to help keep the kids engaged, and help them learn things along the way. Here's an example: Quiz
Family Friendly Host Offers
You can also create your own tours that are suitable for kids! You can include your own treasure hunts or quizzes. Or you can do a completely unique and new idea Eg:
- Family cooking class (simple recipes, sweets)
- City tour with parks and nature
- Treasure hunt in a special attraction (a famous museum, park etc.)
- Workshops (making a traditional souvenir, painting etc.)
- Themed tours (medieval, famous characters - "Paris Like a Princess" model)
Tip: Think of what makes each offer special & family-friendly. A city tour can be made much more interesting for the kids if you add a treasure hunt & costume element (e.g. dragon treasure hunt & sword)
Let us know if you're interested in being a Family Friendly Host!
Family-Friendly Tour Verification
If your offer needs professional photos that are not already in our system, we will put you in touch with a local photographer who will do a 'photoshoot' or host verification of your offer.
Hosts will receive the contact details of the photographer and you will arrange to meet. You do not have to do the full tour, just the highlights and main aspects for the photos.
Hosts should bring 2 friends or family members along to appear in the photos to pose as guests.
Please ensure to wear clothes that will look great in the pictures and have some color.

The New America Foundation unveiled its annual Academic Bowl Championship Series results today, and the great program in Happy Valley topped the list, followed by Boise State, TCU, and Stanford.
That's what we have to love about coach Joe Paterno. He has his priorities straight all the time. Ever the vocal leader, he cares less about winning football games than about the kids that pass through Penn State. That's the culture there, caring about the futures of young men.
I know that the latest installment of the Deadspin Top 25 or So ranked Penn State number 120, but there's no text describing why. Huh.
Paterno's Payback? Penn State Football is No. 1 in Academic Bowl [Time]

Well, it hasn't happened in ages, but I actually pushed the wrong button last night.
Great weekend, no poker until around 10:30 last night. Fired up a $16 DS Turbo and a $3+rebuy on Stars. Played well in both, until I got blinded away in the Turbo and stupidly didn't push with an Axo just before the BB when we were 4-handed. 78o in a BB that took half my stack didn't hold up when I called the SB's raise and home I went.
In the rebuy (which I love), I was sitting pretty with 1 min to go to the break, with around $9,000 (M=60). Pocket 9's get dealt and a guy who's been betting with anything and everything for the last 10 hands has just rebought (again) and pushed before me. I call immediately, but then 2 to my left re-raises all-in, and has 425 less than me. I'm not willing to throw it all away against two all-ins, especially when I think the other was a raise to isolate due to a decent, but not great, pocket pair. So I plan to fold... AND HIT THE CALL BUTTON. Sunuvabitch. Any-two shows T2o, and the re-raiser shows QQ and I curse. Q on the flop totally negates my 9 on the river and I'm down to 425 in chips. I toss that away, rebuy twice and we go to break, where I take the add-on. So I'm at 5000 in chips, but instead of being in the top quarter of the players with an M > 42, I'm now in the bottom third with all the other donkeys. I should have left instead of re-buying, but I just couldn't quit like that... instead I gave away my 5000 and left about 15 min later.
MATH tonight... or as it's come to be known here - Bubbletime! Naw, I'll probably Gigli the thing.
Did I mention that I had a great weekend until the poker? Now if only I can find her number...

The rocky market recovery. Vapor migration risk management. Business forecast. PCAs. SBA. New E 1527-13 adoption. These and more were the topics that got the most interest in 2014.
As we enter the first work week of the year, we compiled a list of our most popular publications, webinars and news of 2014.
1. Our Q&A with Former MBA Chairman Michael Berman
EDR Insight was honored to get some face time with one of the greatest minds in the financial world: Michael Berman who was—among many other things—the former Chairman of the Mortgage Bankers Association. In this candid interview, Berman shared his latest insight into the state of the challenging lending market ("liquidity is the strongest it's been since 2006") with some savvy advice for the consultants who serve them ("diversifying business lines to offer multiple services…").
2. Second Act of Market Recovery Takes A Bow
This article appeared in Scotsman Guide's December 2014 edition, highlighting the hot spots for environmental due diligence activity and outlining the key factors driving opportunities for anyone whose business depends on a healthy commercial property market. What does the next phase of recovery mean to your business and what does our ScoreKeeper model say about your next business hot spots?
3. Market Forecast: "Be Not Afraid"
You could almost hear an audible sigh of relief from attendees at our Annual Client Summit in Arizona when Ryan Severino, Senior Economist and Associate Director of Research at Reis, assured them during the State of the Market track to "be not afraid" about the rest of 2014. (Turns out he was right.)
4. U.S. EPA Responds to Public Comments on June AAI Proposal
EPA's response reinforced what EDR Insight's survey data showed: the transition to the new standard was virtually complete at mid-year as EPA took steps to amend the AAI rule to remove the reference to the historical ASTM E 1527-05 standard.
5. Are Drones a Game Changer for the Real Estate Industry?
Drones are the hottest technology trend of 2014, and environmental firms are already investing in fleets of drones to be ready if and when the FAA gives the green light. As one EP said, "The genie is out of the bottle…"
6. APPRAISAL INSTITUTE: Best Practices Emerge in Accounting for Environmental Contamination in Appraisals
As noted by Bill Garber in our June webinar, "bank regulators are being very outspoken about the appraisal-environmental functions and how they relate to each other. The impact is being felt in the lending world, as more and more institutions merge responsibilities for these two important areas of risk management.
7. Keeping Multifamily In Check: Fannie Mae's New PNA Guidance
This article takes readers through the who, the what, and the why of Fannie Mae's guidance for "physical needs assessments" or PNAs on multifamily properties, with valuable input from Fannie Mae's own Tammy Romero and EMG PCA expert, Greg Bailey.
8. Most Firms Considering Vapor Migration After EPA Publishes AAI Rule, Survey Finds
This article, written by Bloomberg BNA highlighted the results of EDR Insight's survey on vapor migration risk, which "shows clearly that today most environmental professionals are looking at vapor migration risk –that clearly is the industry practice."
9. This Week's Fed Lender Survey: Is the Glass Half Full or Half Empty?
The media latched onto headlines that the survey showed a broad-based uptick in loan demand and more relaxed lending standards in the second quarter after a slow start to the year. But our analysis of the raw results specific to commercial real estate lending showed otherwise.
10. New Year, New SOP for SBA Lending
For many lenders—and the consultants who serve them, lending under SBA-guaranteed programs has been a bright spot during the past few years of market recovery. The year 2014 started out with optimistic stats, a new SOP and the agency's response to E 1527-13.
We hope you enjoy this look back at 2014. Happy new year to all of our readers!
We look forward to delivering timely reporting and insightful views on the trends shaping the property due diligence industry in 2015.

With issues like Medicaid expansion on the table, health care has been a major factor in the governor's race. Graduate students at the University of Georgia College of Public Health created this handy-dandy graphic to help voters understand the candidates' stances.
"We felt there was a need for concise information without any political rhetoric," student Megan Bramlett said. "These issues are complicated and layered, and our goal was to provide a clear and objective visual to assist Georgia voters as they get ready to head to the polls."
Students divided into two teams, one for Democrat Stacey Abrams and one for Republican Brian Kemp. They were led by Bramlett and Seth Riggle, under the watch of professor Grace Bagwell Adams.

Two books show kids that they are special
Lately, I've been striking gold in the children's section of our local library (if you haven't been to your local library recently, I highly suggest you give it a try!). The following are two heartwarming stories that reinforce the valuable contributions every person has to offer, no matter how young.
Little Wolf's Song. Anyone who has grown up trying to catch up to older siblings will feel the message in this story. Little Wolf would love to howl like the rest of his family, but he can't. What's worse, his siblings taunt him for it. Despite reassurance from his parents, it's not until Little Wolf gets lost in the snowy woods at night that he finds his howl. This is a story about not giving up and waiting for the right opportunity to find your true talents.
Brewster the Rooster. Something is wrong with the family rooster and he's creating havoc for the entire family. After little Julie realizes that he needs glasses, everything becomes much clearer! Told in hilarious poetic rhyme, this book combines vivid engaging illustrations with a message that sometimes answers come from the littlest family members and to not give up looking for solutions to a problem!

According to recent report, fire up in Fallbrook area (Rice fire) has burned 6100+ acres. Area isn't getting any air support yet - Palomar Mountain and La Jolla Indian Reservation area also in trouble - these fires will likely join. Right now, "they" are concentrating on the more populated areas. There are some more tankers on the way - but it's already 1p.m. and it gets dark about 6:30 now. A good friend of mine and his daughter and her family lives up in Escondido in a evacuated zone - and in the south parts of Chula Vista are threatened, another friend and her family live out that way - I don't yet know if they've had to evacuate. There has been some air support. There are a few helicopters out down there - it can drop 10 tons of water a time on a drop.
A fairly decent map which someone is updating is pretty good. Link is here. The map can be expanded.
In the county all told some 350,000 (yes that's the right amount of zeros) homes have been evacuated.
On a better note, some areas are allowing people back in - Del Mar Heights area, plus some of Poway and the Scripps Ranch area.
So far at very least 1200 homes and structures lost in the county (and they don't think they have an accurate count) - 240,000 acres have burned - it's at least as big as the Cedar fire 4 years ago.
The area shelters are fairly well provided for with individuals and corporations stepping it up with food/toiletries etc.
National Guard is deployed in evacuated areas, and other than a report of two teens looting in Ramona (who got nailed right away) there haven't been reports of looting.
The US Navy Seahawks are also assisting with water drops. Thank God for them, they have more capacity than the contracted aircraft.
Today is supposed to be make or break - the winds are supposed to die down some time tomorrow - they are still really fickle and unpredictable. All schools in San Diego unified school district will be closed through end of week.
Yesterday, one of the local reporters was reporting in the wee hours of the morning that his home had been evacuated. Some hours later he'd found out his home had burned down. He was positively heroic in keeping his chin up. "We'll rebuild, we'll get through this. It's only THINGS." They'd managed to grab the most important "things" and pack up the cars with people and pets - but most people were glad to get themselves and their animals and the most important items out. This time around communication and notification was much better - the "Reverse 911" system working fairly well. I.E. 911 calls YOU to tell you it's time to pack up and get out.
I've been through fire scares before - and when you really analyze it pretty much "everything" can be replaced - so what you end up grabbing are you, family, pets and PHOTOS, and important papers. So for all of you who can, but haven't: Scan your important photos in your computer! And keep a backup in a safe deposit box somewhere. The rest is G.R.A.V.Y.

Welcome back to Mid-Week Meditations, Lifehacker's weekly dip into the pool of stoic wisdom, and a guide to using its waters to reflect on and improve your life.

Don't Pray For Outcomes, Ask For Strength
Welcome back to Mid-Week Meditations, Lifehacker's weekly dip into the pool of stoic wisdom, and a guide to using its waters to reflect on and improve your life.
This week's selection comes from the early stoic Hecato of Rhodes. Very little is known of his life, but he was oft quoted by others, such as in this excerpt from Seneca's Moral Letters to Lucilius (IX):
If you ask how one can make oneself a friend quickly, I will tell you, provided we are agreed that I may pay my debt at once and square the account, so far as this letter is concerned. Hecato, says: "I can show you a philtre, compounded without drugs, herbs, or any witch's incantation: 'If you would be loved, love.'" Now there is great pleasure, not only in maintaining old and established friendships, but also in beginning and acquiring new ones. There is the same difference between winning a new friend and having already won him, as there is between the farmer who sows and the farmer who reaps.
What It Means
While Seneca's insight on friendship here is useful - making new friends is just as important as keeping old ones around - it's Hecato's quote on love that's really powerful. A "philtre" is a type of magic potion, so he's basically saying there's no stronger love potion than giving your own love. The quote is often diluted to something along the lines of: "If you wish to be loved, love."
Nobody Wants To Date Someone Who Is Bitter And Jaded
If you've been on the dating scene for what feels like forever and you're starting to feel frustrated and disillusioned with it all, it might be time to take a step back and do a little re-calibrating. We project how we feel to others; people can sense your negative outlook from a mile away, which ruins any chance of things working out. It seems counter-intuitive, but the more you act like things are never going to work out, the longer you'll probably be alone.
What to Take From It
Remember the golden rule: Always treat others the way you want to be treated. If you want someone to love you, give them the very same love you desire. People may not always return it the way you want, but you can't take that as a reason to stop putting your love out there.

Slide Power – How To Make A Professional PowerPoint Slide
In representing the thoughts, plans, and ideas, business professionals, non business professionals, and even students use Powerpoint through the use of Slide Power or Google Slides. The presentation become easier and more attainable because of the use of multimedia projector and computer screen. The presenter can express because of the slides. The PowerPoint makes the audience enjoy the presentation. That's why the success of the presentation will be based on how the slides are prepared. You may be thinking about how the slides could be prepared in the best way. The rule in doing this could be easy. Below are tips that you can follow in preparing your slides.
The first thing that you need to consider is you must understand the materials of your presentation as well as who your audiences are. You should know ahead of time the age, educational attainment, and the way your audiences thinks. Another important aspect before you prepare your slide is the time of the presentation. At the beginning of the slides, you must have the outline in order for the audience to see the theme of the whole slide show.
You may also check the presentation online such as the Google slides.
Choose a background that is not too light or too dark. You must not apply many colors on the slides. The slides will not look presentable in this manner. The audience will find it painful to their eyes when your background is too dark. Hence, it will not be easily read and understand. You can use white background color or other bright color but make sure you will test this on the multimedia projector.
See to it that the font size are not too small or too large. You can sit on the last corner of the room to see if it can be read. The font should easily read. Putting too many text on the slides is not good. The points should make the slide more understandable.
In the tile or heading, you should use capital letters. However, you should avoid using capital letters in the entire slide. Use words which are easily understandable.
You can also put pictures and videos in the slide. This will give the audience better viewing.
On your slide, you can use animation. However, using too much may be disturbing to your audience.
If it is for professional use, it is not good to have too many slides. The audience may get bored and exhausted when the slides are too many. You can also use Google Slides or Slide Power to make a professional powerpoint.
There are many things that affect the success of the presentation. You can make a good slide when you follow the tips above. You may also practice so that you can make your presentation more impressive and unique.

Lake Eyre, is in the desert of central Australia that crosses the borders of three states from the northern South Australia, during the rainy season rivers from the north-east part of the Lake Eyre Basin in outback south-west and central Queensland flow towards the lake through the Channel Country and south of Northern Territory, spanning 9,500 square kilometres, it technically is the largest lake in Australia and thirteenth largest in the world when full.
Officially known as Kati Thanda – Lake Eyre contains the lowest natural point in Australia at approx. 15 meters (49 ft) below sea level. The native title over the lake and surrounding region is held by the Arabana people.
Most of the time the lake is dry (it has only filled to capacity three times in the past 150 years) but about every eight to ten years it receives a significant amount of water. On these occasions the lake bursts to life, forming an oasis for thousands of migratory waterbirds and producing seas of wildflowers. Wet or dry, it is a truly special place.
Lake Eyre is part of Lake Eyre National Park with campgrounds available in Halligan Point provides a real bush camping experience with no facilities, however outside the park, Mullorina Station has campgrounds with bathroom and some facilities. To camp in the park, you must have a Desert Parks Pass or a day entry permit. The nearby town of Marree includes a caravan park or try the William Creek Hotel, with William Creek the halfway point on the Oodnadatta Track.
One of the best ways to appreciate this vast, magnificent expanse is from the air, Navair Jets offer charter and scenic flights by jet and helicopter, along with further options to discover Lake Eyre by kayak or small yacht boat and 4WD tour combinations.
Visitors who come here often remark on the incredible sense of isolation and space, as well as the landscape's remarkably beautiful appearance.

132: Joe Williams Dispels The Secrets of Public Speaking
We learn the most about ourselves when we go towards our fears.
And there is no greater fear than public speaking. So when we decide to improve that specific skill set—we uncover the truth about who we really are.
From finding our stage presence to connecting with the audience, each dimension of public speaking offers a new challenge for us to conquer. But it's not always so easy.
The obstacles and challenges we face along the way are demonstrations of personal growth. Whether it's presenting to your colleagues or giving a speech for your Toastmasters—the nerves and anxiety are what we must beat to further our self-development.
On today's episode of Personal Development Without The Fluff, we are joined by Joe Williams to discuss how to best improve our public speaking skills. Joe is an internationally-known speaker, strategic expert, and consultant who has spoken to hundreds of thousands of people around the world. In fact, he was the Senior Head Trainer for the Anthony Robbins Companies.
Tune in to hear Joe's insights, as they apply to public speaking, finding your passion, and harnessing your strengths.
"You have to be oversensitive to when you become stale." - Joe Williams
The Cliff Notes:
- Build on top of your strengths rather than focusing on improving your weaknesses
- Cockiness or arrogance is the only mistake in public speaking
- Demand that your audience steps into your world, rather than you stepping into theirs
- Use pauses and silences to have points land
- Notice that personal development is geared toward returning to how we were as children
- Return to the core of your mission statement by embracing gratitude and love
- Use parallel gesturing sparingly
- Move with purpose on stage rather than pacing idly
- The 10-minute TED-style speech should hinge on one big idea or story
- If you're going to script anything, make it the opening and closing 20-30 seconds

Region: Stellenbosch
Boschkloof is situated in the Polkadraai Hills, just West of Stellenbosch, where Jacques Borman and his son Reenen, create superb wines from their tiny 19 hectare-vineyard holdings.
Legend has it that the Holy Grail contained wine which was drank at the last supper and until this day, the quest to find this sacred vessel is still going on.
The Latin phrase "inconcessum persequor" surrounding The Grail on their emblem translates into "I pursue the unattainable" and between the slopes of the beautiful Stellenbosch valley in South Africa, the Borman family pursue to perfect the art of winemaking. Veteran winemaker, Jacques Borman strives to produce timeless wines after each harvest, leading Boschkloof on a quest to achieve the unattainable.
Tasting notes
Complex and attractive bouquet of oriental spices with typical Shiraz smoked ham and white pepper flavours. Good intense ruby colour. Full mid-palate with a long soft finish.Well balanced wine with spicy type plum and berry fruit flavours and peppery overtones that finish with soft round tannins. Very classic style with unmistakable Rhone flavours. Good to drink now, but will develop and mature over the next 6 years.
Food pairing
An excellent partner for a slow roasted leg of lamb with generous amounts of rosemary and garlic.

In the run-up to the 2018 elections, all parties unveiled their manifestoes. This time, interestingly, major parties have also mentioned "China-Pakistan Economic Corridor" as of one the item of discussion.
When it comes to mainstream national-level parties, all three of them, namely the PML-N, PTI, and PPP, underscore the importance of CPEC for Pakistan's future. The PML-N has even enlisted the projects it undertook under the corridor project, whereas PPP claimed the credit for launching it in the first project.
Interestingly, PTI's manifesto has called for including local population in what is being decided about CPEC. Gwadar and Gilgit-Baltistan are in specific mentioned.
Here are some key points of the three parties:
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)
Pakistan Tehrek-e-Insaf (PTI) in its manifesto has underlined that it will ensure the involvement of local population in China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and the development of Gwadar. In particular, party will offer opportunities to the marginalized population of GilgitBaltistan (GB) and ensure their participation in CPEC.
The party acknowledges that CPEC can boost economic development of Pakistan. But this mega project has not been fully explored due to increased imports for China, meager cooperation with local investors, and lack of "transfer of knowledge and capabilities."
The party's manifesto will create "two way linkages" with China. It will utilize domestic resources to take advantage of CPEC and Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). It will entail collaboration and cooperation to ensure completion of CPEC. To expedite agricultural income, it will invite Chinese expert to add to domestic manufacturing capabilities. It will ensure local entrepreneur's participation while implementing CPEC. It will further support local investor's involvement in global value chains.
Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N)
PML-N claimed the launch of CPEC in 2013 and ensured its commitment towards execution of this mega project. The party believe that CPEC will make Pakistan has become center of regional connectivity.
The party has started CPEC to take full advantage of Pakistan's geostrategic location. CPEC has brought remarkable Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Pakistan. Party's manifesto says that it will bring Pakistan on the trajectory of fastest developing states with the development of export oriented industries and make Pakistan the 20th largest economic power of the world by 2030. Under CPEC, early harvest projects of worth $30 billion have been initiated as joint venture with China.
The party is keen to enhanced access to domestic and international markets under CPEC. It seeks to pursue implementation of ML-1 to improve the significance of Pakistan railway in CPEC.
In 2013, due to bleak security and energy situation in Pakistan, foreign investors were not confident to invest in Pakistan. A huge amount of investment was required for infrastructure development and improved economy. In this milieu, the launch of "One Belt One Road Initiative (OBOR)" has provided great opportunity for economic development of Pakistan. Party's efforts made it possible for Pakistan to be a part of OBOR via launch of CPEC that further brought a dramatic shift in Pak-China bilateral geostrategic relations.
CPEC has primarily focused on cooperation in Gwadar Port, energy and transport infrastructure projects. With the help of Chinese government, the party has started early harvest projects of worth $30 billion. The party has enlisted various development schemes and initiatives it took from 2013-2018 under the CPEC. These include creation of employment opportunities under CPEC related energy and infrastructure projects, besides other key projects.
Pakistan's People's Party (PPP)
Pakistan's People's Party (PPP) has greatly emphasized on strengthening Pakistan-China bilateral strategic relations while keeping intact its national autonomy and national interests. PPP has claimed the credit of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The party aims to appreciate the inflow of Chinese investment in the form of CPEC, upholding greater transparency and provincial consensus.
The party is interested in promoting regional connectivity under CPEC. It is ambitious to hold dialogues with China and Russia and pursue them to recognize new avenues of convergence that further may support the idea of bringing CPEC activities in line with Russia's initiative i.e. Eurasian Economic Union (EEU).
The party believed that ensuring CPEC security is imperative and implementation of CPEC entail enhanced public capacity, power sector, and tax reforms. Party has promised to comply with all reforms and developments essential for CPEC to promote regional stability.

"I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck." ~ Emma Goldman
Another gorgeous trillium, drooping trillium (Trillium flexipes) can be found throughout Ohio. The name drooping trillium refers to the way the flower droops; this is because of its long peduncle. Similar to most trilliums this plant grows best in well-drained soil and can survive shade or dappled sunlight underneath the tree canopy. The roots of drooping trillium were used by Native Americans to treat open wounds and sores and the grated rootstalk was made into a tea and used to help alleviate menstrual cramps. This is certainly a plant you don't want to miss seeing. It can be found at Hueston Woods State Nature Preserve in Preble County, Conkles Hollow State Nature Preserve in Hocking County, and Clifton Gorge State Nature Preserve in Greene County.

- Love it!! Review by Shannon Payne(Posted on 4/3/2019)
Very well made swimming suit and cannot wait to wear for our honeymoon on the beach. I even paired the top with some high-waisted palazzo pants and made for a great going out outfit as well! Only downside is my bottom needs a small and my top needs x-small. It still fits well and will definitely work, the sleeves are just a little more lose than I would prefer (which that type of fit may be perfect for others.) Overall though, I love the suit! (Don't mind the mirror, it was our seating chart for the wedding & haven't brought myself to clean it yet, lol)
- Doesn't fit very well Review by Jules(Posted on 4/2/2019)
I ordered the XXL since I wear a 36DD. It covered me but just barely. The layers were too close together or something - the fabric just needed a little more length and it would have been perfect.Needs different bottoms. That cut out does not help anyone who has hips. The string is too small and cuts in too much. I would have gone larger but then it would have been too lose. Sizing and proportions are just off (for my body).
- Love it! Review by J.P.(Posted on 3/24/2019)
Love! I tried it on as it came and then tried on a pair of black bottoms I already had from last Summer. It's comfortable and cute. Covers my back fat hahaha and chubby arms all while looking cute! I'm 5'8, 183 lbs. I wear a size 14/16 in jeans depending on brand and a M or L in top, again depends on brand. I ordered a 16 (xl) and it fit perfect.
- Low quality, color not as shown in picture Review by Michelle Savant(Posted on 3/20/2019)
I received a swimsuit with bottoms looking very different from the ones pictured in terms of color. The colors in the picture looked green, but what I received looked much less detailed and blue. The top offers absolutely no support, so if you have a big chest I would recommend avoiding this. I returned the product for a refund right after I tried it on.
- Happy! Review by Monique(Posted on 7/29/2018)
I love this top. The bottoms didn't look great on me - it really showed my "belly poof" and I really got them hoping it would hide that. I actually was able to roll and tuck them a bit to look just like regular bottoms so that looked better but I didn't even end up wearing them anyway. The top was nice because I felt ok walking around in it with shorts and then could just jump in the ocean and swim :)
- love Review by Solita(Posted on 7/18/2018)
this is my best bathing suit ever. looks so sexy the way the high waist is shadowed by the ruffled top. compliments are endless. I bought this for a vacation/destination wedding and I didn't know that it was an all-white wedding. well, i through this top together with a pair of high waisted white shorts from Zara and ended up looking like it was a planned outfit. fantastic! totally recommend, flattering for curvy women
- Fits mostly to size, except for the chest. Review by Alex(Posted on 5/29/2018)
This swimsuit is very cute and appears just as described. I bought the navy design with patterned bottoms, and it shipped on time. I looked through a bunch of reviews for this product (since it always can be a gamble buying clothes online), and ultimately ended up purchasing this.Typically, I am a size medium. I am 5 feet tall, about 140 pounds, and while a lot of reviews said round up, I stuck with a medium. The bottoms fit perfectly for me, and the high-waist design flatters a thicker waistline no problem. However, the top piece fits smaller on me (I am a 34C), and while it's not uncomfortable (it actually makes my chest look bigger), busty girls might run into issues.It's a great swimsuit as a fashion piece and lying out on the beach.

We started by delivering water to the underprivileged Haitians in Cite de Soleil. Amazing that we take water so much for granted and they have to struggle so hard to get enough for the basic needs of life. We got to visit the handicapped orphanage and play with the kids. It fills your heart to see the smiles on their faces.
I think my favorite part of the week was when we visited the Haiti Deaf Academy and got to play soccer and dominoes and some of the ladies got to have their fingernails painted. It was almost sad to think that when someone came and took them to a regular store which they had never seen before they asked if they were allowed to go into the store. They marveled at the doors which opened automatically and the soap dispenser which you just pushed a button and out came the soap. You pretty much have to be here to experience the wonderfulness of serving those less fortunate. My wish is that you all may have the blessing of coming on a trip with Healing Haiti. This was my first but I can guarantee you it will not be my last. Thank you Lord for allowing me to be a part of this team. - Roy Cleveland
Today as I walked your streets I prayed that someday we would walk the streets of gold together.
Today as I looked into your eyes and saw my reflection I prayed that when you look at me you see a reflection of Him.
Today as I painted your nails I prayed that as the paint fades away that you would still feel beautiful.
Today as I held your hand and walked with you I prayed that as you walk through life that you would never be alone.
Today as I tried to learn to speak your language I prayed that our language of love would be received and understood.
Today as I heard your laughter I pray that your life would be filled with joy and happiness.
Today as I prepare to leave I pray i never forget all the memories I have of you and I smiling knowing just how much He will never forget you and will always love you.

The rapid growth of the elderly population in the world and the rising cost of healthcare impose big issues for healthcare and medical monitoring. A Wireless Body Sensor Network (WBSN) is comprised of small sensor nodes attached inside, on or around a human body, the main purpose of which is to monitor the functions and surroundings of the human body. However, the heat generated by the node's circuitry and antenna could cause damage to the human tissue. Therefore, in designing a routing protocol for WBSNs, it is important to reduce the heat by incorporating temperature into the routing metric. The main contribution of this paper is to survey existing temperature-aware routing protocols that have been proposed for WBSNs. In this paper, we present a brief overview of WBSNs, review the existing routing protocols comparatively and discuss challenging open issues in the design of routing protocols. View Full-Text

Lessons from the Kenyan marathon runner who can help you during the Amsterdam Marathon!
De marathon wordt al jaren gedomineerd door de Keniaanse hardlopers. Je zou denken dat is een ver van mijn bedshow maar ook als recreatieloper kan je veel leren van deze toplopers. Jorin Kamps van Running Solutions werkt met de Keniaanse atleten en heeft een aantal lessen van de Kenianen voor je op een rijtje gezet.
Quality training
The amount of kilometers the elite runners run per week is between 150 and 200km. This is, of course, a lot. But it is necessary to perform at that level. As a recreational runner you will not have to cover that many miles. But what is interesting is that the focus is on quality training. The fact is that they make a lot of extra kilometers that go very quietly, this is extra. The focus is on two or three training sessions per week where there is really hard training, for example an interval training or a longrun at fast pace.
As a recreational runner you must also ensure that the quality of training is high. Make sure you run a lot at marathon pace but also keep an eye on your recovery.
Kenyan athletes are good sleepers as well as fast runners. The life of many athletes consists of training, eating and sleeping. They are working on this day in day out. If you train as hard as the athletes, rest is the most important factor for recovery. This is no different for the runners here in the Netherlands. Certainly not if we consider that the running training sessions are often done alongside a full-time job.
Of course you can't take a nap at noon but what works really well is sleeping 8 hours a night. The chance of injuries will decrease and you will perform better in your running training sessions and at work. Seems to be a good choice as a marathon runner!
Listen to your body
When an athlete in Kenya comes to see me for treatment of his / her injuries, I notice that they are much more in contact with their body. They feel where they have an injury and often know how to distinguish whether or not they can train. In the Netherlands, many runners go on for just too long despite being bothered by something, which often causes long-term injuries and missing a marathon, for example.
The athletes in Kenya eat varied and fresh food, but will not follow a special athlete diet like in the western world. The only supplements that are used regularly are sports nutrition for during the competition and training. Specifically sports drink Maurten, which contains a lot of carbohydrates.

Moving to London is a big deal and a monumental moment in a person's life. But one thing that comes with the move is finding accommodation, which is one of the most frustrating aspects of living in London. Today, we'll show you everything you need to know about finding housing in London.
This article is brought to you by Spotahome. Spotahome is an online rental platform, focusing on providing mid to long-term housing. What makes them unique is their approach to finding accommodation from the comfort of your home - they do the visit for you, answer your questions, and film every part of the process!
The number of flatshares in London is rising every single year. In fact, it's often easier to rent a room than it is to rent an apartment.
Living in a flatshare allows you to meet new friends, enjoy a much cheaper rent, and being constantly surrounded by people. You'll also most likely have a lower security deposit, and bills are often included in your rental contract.
There are also some disadvantages to flat sharing such as not knowing who you'll end up living with, having less privacy and more noise, and often dealing with too many flatmates.
Spotahome tip: Living with strangers might seem scary. Host a get-to-know dinner with your new flatmates during your first week!
Living alone in London is a perfect choice for those who have a good number of friends in the city or have enough outside social circles, and the budget to do so.
The most significant advantage of living alone is having your own space and your own peace and quiet, which is extremely helpful for older professionals. On the other hand, you'll be responsible for all your bills, including council tax. Your rent will likely be higher, which also means a higher security deposit.
Of course, deciding where you'll live all depends on your personal needs, lifestyle needs and your budget, so make sure you take everything into consideration before making your final decision.
Spotahome tip: You can lower your bills by choosing an area with a low council tax fee. Click here for an interactive map on council tax prices in the UK.
London has 32 combined administrative neighbourhoods, also known as boroughs. Each borough has its own council, appointed to work directly with its residents.
Here's what you need to take into consideration when choosing your London neighbourhood:
When you're moving to London for the first time, being safe is a crucial factor. Metropolitan Police has updated data on crime statistics on each London borough and their safety levels. Of course, no borough is perfect, and your decision shouldn't be based solely on the crime rate.
Who doesn't want a tight community of friendly neighbours? Before you make your decision, make sure you do your research on the area you'll live in. The majority of London boroughs come with their own website and a section dedicated to the community. Volunteering, societies, clubs, and social events are all essential factors to consider when choosing where to live.
Spotahome tip: For more information about your borough and its official website, check out the London Government Directory.
London consists of nine zones, managed by Transport of London. This includes London Underground, National Rail, London Overground, and all other transportation services used and owned by the city. While living in zone 1 is complete luxury and ideal if you're looking to spend less money on transportation, it also means your rent might be more expensive. Living in zone 9 might mean that your commute to your workplace will be significantly longer, but you'll make up for it by having cheaper rent.
Spotahome tip: Before you secure your dream flat, check your nearest transportation services and calculate the cost of your monthly Oyster card - its price will vary depending on the zone you live in and the location of your daily commute.
After you've selected your future accommodation and made contact through an agency or a renting website such as Spotahome, you'll need to prepare a few documents. Here's what you'll likely be asked to provide before sign your rental contract:
We wish you the very best of luck with your move, and we'll see you in the big smoke!

Role of Developmental Editors
Developmental editing refers to the improvement of the manuscripts' content and its structure. Copy editing and proofreading are entirely different activities from the developmental editing. To ensure that the content of the manuscript is free from grammar and punctuation mistakes, the copy editing and proofreading are used. The developmental editing role in a manuscript is to improve its plot, the setting of the pace and improving the characterization in the manuscript. Developmental editing requires a high level of professionalism but there are hardly no rules but the outcome is highly dependent on the editor's experience. Life experience gained from the occurrences of certain activities, raises the editors experience in this field. The editor must be a good and a heavy reader of books and scripts in order to understand the requirements of a manuscript.
Before the publishing of the script, the editor must carry at least one round of developmental editing. The editing of the content can be lead to many changes on the content of the book. The changes may include the entire changing of the plot. Characters can be merged through developmental editing and that can also lead to the shifting of the character roles. However, this process of editing is fruitful since it adds the creativity and the attractiveness of the content and the drive for any reader to read the book. Comparing, contents that have not undergone developmental editing are likely to be boring and have no sense of direction.
Many entities require developmental editing in order to raise the quality of the content of their manuscripts and books and hence they often hire these editors. Among the most popular editors include the newspapers and magazines editors. The editors are experienced in this field and their goal is to ensure their employers and the companies they work for publish a content that is worthy reading and maintains a competitive edge with other company's contents. Despite being regarded as potential authors, the editors do not write the initial copy of the content. Proofreaders and the copy readers are less closer to the author than the developmental editors.
The editors can also be regarded as the associate editors depending on the type and structure of the publishing companies they work for and they mainly found in this publishing buildings. Editing services can be found in the urban centers where there are editing agencies who are mainly a group of editors who offer a good editing service that ensures that your final work is of high quality. The editing by this agencies is done just before publishing or rather they do the final process of arriving at the desired copy of the script.

London is widely regarded as one of the most expensive places to live and work. Property values in this historic city are currently at an all-time high, and most of the people who work there can't even afford a decent apartment. Many people prefer renting a house in the suburbs, since property values begin to fall as the distance from the city centre increases. They commute for hours every day just to get to and from their work. Needless to say, the rising property values have made it quite difficult for an aspiring entrepreneur to rent an office and work in London.
Investors, suppliers and clients look for businesses that are based in London. Not only does being located there add credibility to your business, but it also makes your business more viable. Obviously, clients will be more willing to place an order with your company when they see that your business offices are located in a top of the line commercial centre within the hub of the city. But most small business owners can't afford to pay the exorbitant monthly rental. Property values are rising by the day in London, and many entrepreneurs try to save as much money as they can in order to make their businesses grow.
That's why many entrepreneurs prefer renting virtual offices in London. A virtual office is an address through which you can send and receive correspondence. You can print the address on your business cards, and you can ask suppliers to send invoices to the address too. Here are just some of the benefits of renting a virtual office in the heart of London.
Low Priced and Affordable
The best thing about renting a virtual office is that they are very affordable. Prices within London are as low as £80 per month. This gives you the option of showing your customers and suppliers that you have a centralised address within one of the most affluent cities in the world.
Professional Assistants
Apart from giving you an address, the company will also assign professionally trained assistants to your case. This will make it easy for people to believe that the office is owned by you. Professionally trained assistants will pick up the phone and will also act as your personal secretary. All you need to do is provide a bit of information about your company, and let them handle the rest!
Visiting the Office
The company will also allow you to visit the office and use all the facilities within the centre for one day every month. This is good for small business owners who want to hold meetings with suppliers or other employees. You can use all the amenities there, so nobody will have an idea that you don't frequent the office on a daily basis. All in all, if you can't afford property in London, renting a virtual office is the next best thing.
