ISA HK/China --- Tree Failures Workshop by Prof. Mattheck at CUGE, Singapore
Please kindly find attached a very relevant Tree Failures training course offered by CUGE in Singapore from August 22 - 24, 2007.
The trainer of the course is the world famous Professor Claus Mattheck who has spent years in Tree Failures research & has produced numerous research reports published in Europe & ISA. Professor Mattheck is also an award winner for many tree related events & is well respected in the international arbor community. CUGE has this foresight & connection to invite this VIP over to lead them on Tree Failures, which in reality, would be a more relevant subject to HK/China because of our frequent events over here in typhoons or not.
The Station Manager himself is deeply interested in attending this very important training because he is interested to study Tree Failures over the years, despite from just returning from the Hawaiian Conference. However, he has a CITA lecture to give in the evening of August 22 & needs to look for help in replacement to relieve himself to attend the training.
If anyone would like to attend this important training, please kindly enrol yourself directly with CUGE or contact this Station for further arrangement.
Thank you for your kind attention.
best regards,
Sammy Au
Station Manager

First nurses in VA's history – in honor of Nurses WeekPosted: May 11, 2016 Filed under: Healing, History, Service, Veterans, War and Peace Leave a comment
In 1890, VHA's predecessor–the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers–hired its first women nurses at the Northwestern Branch in Milwaukee (known today as the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center).
Able-bodied men who were residents of the National Homes served as wardmasters, nurses, and assistant nurses prior to 1890. An 1880 National Home board of managers report recommended that two wardmasters be paid $15 per month and have supervision of all wards–day and night–under supervision of the post surgeons. "These men should be strictly temperate, skillful, good-dispositioned, intelligent, and faithful. The other nurses should be divided into two classes, viz, nurses and assistant nurses. The nurses should have $8 per month for the first year, $10 per month for the second year, and $12 per month thereafter. The assistants should have $6 per month for the first six months, $7 per month for the second six months, and $8 per month thereafter." The National Home veteran population was approaching old age by 1900, so a solution to replace them as nurses was sought.
The nursing profession in America was in its infancy after the Civil War. Hundreds of women had served as nurses during the war, but most had no formal training. The first nursing school in America opened at Bellevue Hospital in New York in 1873 and taught Florence Nightingale's philosophy and practices of nursing care. New nursing schools opened up across the country afterwards.
In 1888 the Wisconsin Training School for Female Nurses was opened by Miss Melrose, a graduate of the Bellevue Hospital nursing program. Two years later, Colonel John L. Mitchell, manager of the National Home branch in Milwaukee, contracted with the school to employ 10 women nurses in the homes' hospital as an experiment. The school agreed to provide nurses who had been in training for at least 18 months. None of the nurses were married and they did not live on the grounds. The experiment at Milwaukee began when the nurses arrived on May 15, 1890.
On July 18, 1890, the Home's surgeon reported that "the women nurses are doing good and faithful work and are devoted to their duties." Colonel Mitchell remarked about the experiment's success in the annual report that year:
". . .marked improvements had already begun to appear; the men were more careful of their appearance, habits, and conversation; they were more contented, knowing that help and skillful attendance was always at hand. . . the only apprehension express [by the nurses] was that the hospital would not afford the extent and variety of experience or training desired by them. . . the attention given by the nurses to the constant cleanliness and tidiness of the wards, and the cleansing and scalding of all utensils is a new feature. . . "
The arrangement between the Wisconsin Training School for Female Nurses was the earliest medical affiliation at the National Homes. After the resounding success of Milwaukee's experiment, the remaining National Homes followed suit and by 1898 women nurses were employed at all of the National Homes.

The Order of the National Defense Legion (LegiOn de la Defensa Nacional) was founded by the Venezuela's senate presumably in 1903. It was founded to unify Venezuela, which was under European economic block. It was awarded to civilians and military personnel in recognition of extraordinary services in the defense of the rights and privileges of Venezuela as an independent and sovereign country.
The Order consists of three grades, I, II, and III Class. The I and II Class were accompanied by a breast star. However, this information is not confirmed, due to the Order was only granted four times during the months following its creation.
The II Class Breast Star was limited to 50 recipient, and it was exclusively conferred upon Ministers of State, Diplomats, and Officers.

Reflecting Patience
My 2-year-old seems to think it's exciting to go to the bathroom any time she's not getting enough attention. If she's sitting in the van too long, or at church… she deems this a prime opportunity to see if we can call her bluff.
Since we know she stays dry during nap, and can hold it ALL NIGHT LONG… we obviously know, most of the time, she really DOESN'T need to go.
But, we usually take her anyway.
She has us trained well.
Usually when my children go to the bathroom, I just end up taking a turn also… since we're already in there and everything…
My daughter did the thing all of my children have done. Just as I'm finished and putting myself back together… the child reaches for the bathroom stall door in effort to be a "big helper".
Nothing sends a panic surge more quickly, than thinking I might be standing there… exposed… while my darling child greets whoever is standing beyond the door, with her deep dimple smile.
Not yet!! I'm not done yet…
"Don't touch that door! Get back here!" I snap.
She whips around (hand still on the door).
"Now?" she inquires.
"No, not YET…" I persist.
"Ok…" she says. (hand still on the door).
Hoping I didn't tuck my tunic into my leggings, we proceed out the door to wash our hands…
Whoever said that being a mother is glamorous is clearly – correct.
That said, I shouldn't be surprised that my children are impatient. God has been working on MY PATIENCE lessons for years now.
While I know He has made great strides in conforming me to His likeness, I still often get frustrated in the whole waiting process.
I just want to know, so I can move on… I just want to make it better… I just want to solve it. I wish it were better, or fixed, or healed. NOW.
No matter what I'm waiting on, it's important for me to remember God has a plan – even in my waiting. It's for a reason.
Lord, help me find the blessings – even in the waiting. Thank you for an opportunity to learn patience so I can reflect that to my children and those around me. Thank you for the time to focus on what you'd have me learn, through each lesson you have for me.
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ."
– 2 Corinthians 1:3-5
Over the years I've learned ways to help my smaller children adapt to a "big" potty without toting a potty seat wherever we go.
I simply sit on the back of the toilet seat, and they sit in front of me – so it longer seems so big. They feel safe, and are able to relax and go without the terrifying thought of "falling in" and the potty swallowing them up!
This stage ends as quickly as it starts, but it has been a big help when we're traveling – as they transition to being strong enough to hold themselves up! 🙂

For me, nothing says winter comfort food more than a steaming bowl of soup. Making homemade soup on a Sunday afternoon means cooking up some of my favorite winter vegetables—celery root, parsnips, squash and potatoes, for example—using up leftovers, and creating a healthy and easy-to-reheat meal for later in the week. And while the nutrients vary depending on the ingredients used, aside from some heavy cream-based soups, it's hard to go wrong from a nutritional perspective.
To get you started, fresh food chef Paul Finkelstein has created some hearty and healthy soups inspired by the flavours of Italy, Vietnam and the Caribbean in "Soup's On!" in the January/February issue of Best Health (on newsstands now). Or check out our Immune-Boost Broccoli Soup or Mushroom and Winter Vegetable Soup.

A Meesher is a code word for an Indian (red dot, not feather); a synonym for meesher is FOB
(fresh off the boat); this word has its origins in Montville NJ – made up by, surprise surprise, a couple of Indians.
I walked into a local seven eleven and there was a convention of meeshers behind the counter. I was in a club in the city, and they were clearly having a totally Meesh party – so the next indian song I heard mixed with a Jay Z beat – was a cue to my exit.

The Wildcard game between the San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers was a game that lingered leaving writers nationwide yearning to write an ending. After a scintillating weekend of four spectacular games, the 49ers did their part to leave no one disappointed.
With many wondering if Colin Kaepernick was simply an anamoly that couldn't repeat last postseason's performance, he stood tall and delivered on sports biggest stage. Kaepernick's last two drives were filled with poise and determination as he lead his team on a frigid 20-17 road victory.
The 49ers defense did their part as well performing their patented mantra of bend but never break. The defense frazzled Aaron Rodgers continuously, tallying four sacks, while never allowing him to get in a complete rhythm.
On a day where the talking heads pondered whether the California Crew could handle the bitter cold at Lambeau Field, the San Francisco 49ers, behind Phil Dawson's game winning field goal, walked off the field as victors with their eyes on balmy Charlotte, North Carolina.
The Quest for Six Continues!

The MOUNTAIN MAFIA Is Coming!
ABOVE: Jim O'Rear with Robert Z'Dar (MANIAC COP, TANGO & CASH) on the set of MOUNTAIN MAFIA.
I've recently returned from the set of MOUNTAIN MAFIA, a film shot in Kentucky that features a lot of familiar faces. The cast includes Robert Z'Dar (MANIAC COP, TANGO & CASH), Tiffany Shepis (NIGHT OF THE DEMONS), Daniel Emery Taylor (RETURN OF THE SWAMP THING) legendary wrestler Al Snow, SURVIVOR reality show favorite Rupert Boneham, and many more.
ABOVE: Cherokee Hall (center) directs Robert Z'Dar, Casey Miracle, and David Gooslin in a scene.
The story of MOUNTAIN MAFIA, directed by Cherokee Hall, is this… In the rolling landscape of Eastern Kentucky, beauty resides within each valley and atop the crest of each hill. It is the land of bluegrass, horses, coal mines, and tobacco. Under the surface of this delicate veneer, a treacherous underbelly lies. A world stricken with drugs, guns, money, and the Mountain Mafia rules all. Shortly after the passing of his mother and meeting his soul mate, Dwight begins questioning his line of work… his life in general… and comes to the realization that he wants out just as his family inadvertently rekindles an old feud with a rival drug family. Now, Dwight must make a choice to either leave with his new soul mate or help save his family and risk it all. Blood, bullets, betrayal, and the Mountain Mafia!
ABOVE: Jim O'Rear (BEVERLY LANE) and Daniel Emery Taylor (RETURN OF THE SWAMP THING) grab some sun between takes.
The cast and crew on this set could not have been nicer. Everyone had a positive attitude and did whatever needed to be done to get the shots. As on every movie set, unexpected things arise. The couple of times that this happened, director Cherokee Hall never lost his temper, never became shaken, and was never without a backup plan. A true professional in every sense!
ABOVE: The gang just found out the Sheriff is on his way! (Casey Miracle, Daniel Taylor, & Jim O'Rear)
I want to thank Cherokee and everyone involved on this shoot for their kindness, hospitality, and professionalism. I look forward to working with everyone again in the future! Watch for MOUNTAIN MAFIA soon!!!!
Thanks for reading,

There are some states in which insurance legal guidelines are quite clean to apprehend and there are a few states wherein it'll take a bit of time. Actually, that depends on the type of coverage merchandise the country wishes, and California has a few products you'll not see anywhere else in the USA! For example, there's Life & Fire casualty, that's a whole distinct genre of insurance, and we might not locate it in lots of American states. What are commonplace to a maximum of the other states are Life & health, and Property & casualty courses. Why we're mentioning those differences right here is because those form the basis for coverage persevering with training California.
Since insurance is one of these fields which mandates obligatory training and re-certification periodically, persevering with education is pretty a massive enterprise. In the current years, the desired mode of insurance continuing education California has been online. A huge percentage of dealers within the country pick to do their publications and take their checks online, as it's miles extremely convenient and also very low in cost whilst in comparison to the costs at a nearby coverage school. In California, the quantity of required guides is also higher than the ones in a maximum of the other states in America.
While a few states have just one required publication, maximum have 2-3 subjects which are required. However, California has 5 topics which need to be taken for the duration of every re-certification period, and that once more is different from different states. Here, a brand new licensee in coverage might need to finish 25 hours of insurance persevering with training each year for the primary 4 years, and then 30 hours each two years. Then there are the specialties. For example, marketers who promote long-term care coverage rules are required to wait 8 hours of a special long time care module as soon as every two years, and the rest of the education hours can be of any subject matter the agent chooses.
Like we mentioned in the first sentence of this newsletter, there are a few complicated legal guidelines here, right? But ultimately, this persevering with education will pay rich dividends to each agent, as their know-how on the sphere is a whole lot better compared to many different states' retailers. Since education is so important right here, online California coverage persevering with training is growing in reputation each year. The cash stored in line with yr here will quantity to lots in the end. To provide you with an example, online courses simply fee about $ 1 in step with hour, payable after passing the exam! Find out how an awful lot it'd fee at your neighborhood academy.
I advocate doing all your insurance continuing schooling online. It is rapid, smooth, and low-cost nowadays. It is likewise more convenient than going to a study room and spending your weekends mastering about CE. Do it to your personal time and your own tempo from the comfort of your house. California insurance persevering with education may be very critical because you do now not need to lose your license or receive any fines from the country.
Did you trust that once you finished college along with your degree in accounting you'd be executed with homework forever?

CPE courses ensure that CPAs are constantly on the pinnacle of the modern day developments within the enterprise. If there are new strategies or new policies (which there usually are), a certified accountant wishes to be privy to them and include them in his or her commercial enterprise. A persevering with professional training is the only way to keep up with everything this is happening around them.
But then you say: isn't that real of any business? Isn't it actually precise exercise to try to live on top of the modifications inside the enterprise? The easy answer is: yes. But there's greater to it for accountants. The accounting industry is tremendously regulated due to the fact so many human beings depend upon CPAs to assist them with their taxes or commercial enterprise transactions. By requiring a certain amount of persisted studying, any consumer may be assured their CPA is certified to do the work.
Continuing expert education ought to begin by means of ensuring your coursework is technically correct and modern-day with modern practices. Whether you are doing the program online or in a study room, your instructors ought to be able to provide you with the mastering activities you want to absolutely grasp the material.

- What the airline's policy is on oxygen? Some airlines will not allow oxygen on the plane at all, it depends on the airline. You must find out before you book a ticket. For more information please visit https://www.europeanlung.org/en/lung-disease-and-information/air-travel/airline-index/?letter=all or contact them on 0114 267 2875
- The exact length of the flight, and whether delays are likely.
- The facilities available at both airports. This includes assistance required with luggage, boarding the aircraft, wheelchair requirements and whether oxygen is available.
- If the holiday involves a long-haul flight, you should find out if time will be spent at a third airport for refuelling and how oxygen will be supplied there if required. With the exception of oxygen provision, these services will usually be free.
- How you confirm your fitness to fly. Some airlines let you travel without a letter from your doctor, while others ask you to fill in a special medical form, verified either by your own GP or by the airline's medical staff. Most ask for a fitness to fly certificate, obtained from your doctor.
Everyone who is a resident in the UK should have insurance and carry it with them when traveling abroad. Remember to check your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) is still valid before you travel.

If the case is valid (and I'd say we have every reason to believe it is) these people are disgusting. The Soviets used to call them 'govnoed' (Sh**eaters):
Officers of both the GRU and the KGB have very much more respect for their agents than for the sh**-eaters. The motives of agents are clear — an easy life and plenty of money. If you take risks and lose, then no money and no easy life. To the end of his life the agent will not be able to tear himself away from this servitude — as is the case in the criminal world. But the behaviour of the numerous friends of the Soviet Union is utterly incomprehensible to Soviet people. --Victor SuvorovOr could it just be the Conservative in me that makes me too easily disgusted? Well, that's probably what Psycheboy Pizarro thinks anyway.
~Sigh~ @#^*!%! Freaking Hippies and punk-a** Postmodern Academes.

Forty-seven students from schools under the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Religious Affairs received lifelong learning assistance contributed by Bank Islam Brunei Darussalam, BIBD through the BIBD Advocating Life-Long Learning for an Aspiring Future, ALAF Programme.
The presentation of the learning assistance was officiated by Yang Berhormat Dato Seri Setia Doctor Awang Haji Mohd Amin Liew bin Abdullah, Minister at the Prime Minister's Office and Second Minister of Finance and Economy. The function is the sixth of its kind since the BIBD ALAF programme was launched in 2013. The total number of students who have received assistance under the BIBD ALAF programme up to January 2019 is 215.

Loving Water Across Religions
Contributions to an Integral Water Ethic
Maryknoll, NY:Orbis Books, February2019.192 pages.$26.00.Paperback.ISBN9781626983076.For other formats: Link to Publisher's Website.
Review by Anjeanette LeBoeuf forthcoming.
Elizabeth McAnally strikes a remarkable balance in this academically rigorous and spiritually rich approach to the myriad global issues related to water. She draws from Christianity's sacramental consciousness of baptism, loving service of the Yamuna River in Hinduism, and the compassionate wisdom of the bodhisattva to develop "an integral approach to water ethics." Building on but distinct from the foundation laid by Christiana Zenner's Just Water, this book is a welcome addition to the growing field of concern surrounding global water crises.

Stuart Coles, an elder at Trinity Heights Church, issues a multifaceted final message in the Story series on The Church. Through varied accounts and images, the church presented as a rescue, a wreck rebuilt, an orphan interacting with her new family, a little league project, and a drama. The summation is that as Christ followers progressively take on the story and image of Jesus, they will be agents for God's good rule of the world, and can look forward to seeing how their seemingly small contributions will have significance and permanence when the world is made new.
Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. 15 As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; 16 but they were kept from recognizing him.
17 He asked them, "What are you discussing together as you walk along?"
They stood still, their faces downcast. 18 One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, "Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?"
19 "What things?" he asked.
"About Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. 20 The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; 21 but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. 22 In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning 23 but didn't find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. 24 Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus."
25 He said to them, "How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?" 27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid Release Date, Specs, Changes, Price – The new era of the globe's successful cars and truck becomes on its signifies and also it needs to follow year, as 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid. Information regarding this edition is continuously fascinating. Only, the enterprise always places a beautiful effort on its most widely used models.
Given that this is the vital model for the Japanese massive, it is not thinking about that every push reporters are performing their best to obtain as much more as achievable company-new specifics relating to the approaching redesign. So far, we comprehend several factors of the brand name-new version.
2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid Interior
The brand name-new model will undoubtedly have a well made as properly as advanced within. 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid selection will surely obtain Softex chairs. While the manage panels that can basically appearance comparable like the amazing prior version. When it issues enjoyment as accurately as auto advancement, the company-new Corolla Hybrid will never be neglected. Corolla Hybrid will include high quality a 6.1 " touchscreen exhibit for your moving, Cell, along with a USB 2. 0 port. The safety and security systems attribute with this vehicle this kind of as numerous airbags, lorry stability control, traction manage, as well as the rear-view camera, will undoubtedly provide the different feeling for this car.
There permit expectations from the approaching 12th era of the public car. It should appear significantly better in all elements. Typically, this consists of an exterior look also. The evaluating design gets on the roadway already. Even so, still it puts on a hide so that it is hard to say something extra specific. Nonetheless, we are quite confident the firm is not going to change the successful method. So, don't expect some intense turn-close to. We are about to see the version's knowledgeable design ideology, nevertheless adjusted to the company name's most current design words. This indicates that the 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid will embrace the Camry's "Keen Look" design language at the front. The rear end needs to incorporate taillights connected by a single LED strip operating over the boot.
2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid Engine
The typical 1.8-liter engine would not really the only choice. The Corolla Hybrid may have a lot to make use of. An intermixed 1.8-liter and also 2.-liter gasoline engines are a few of the alternatives. The crossbreed variant of 1.8-liter engine is transferred from the current Toyota Auris producing 122 horse energy (91 kilowatts). The stronger hybrid model of the recently-created 2.-liter engine delivers the 180 horsepower (134 kilowatts). The Toyota New International Design (TNGA) method should bring enhancements on all fronts. One of the most favored units will surely be a brand name-new 2.-liter slot- as correctly as fuel-administered several-cylinder powertrain. This mill will surely have either a continuously variable transmission or six-velocity manual. Both are fine choices.
Release Date and Price
A 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid can come someplace in the upcoming year. Regarding price, we do not expect more substantial changes contrasted to the existing-era design, which starts below 20.000 bucks.

Finally, the mini (20 tons) hydraulic press is finished! I sincerely hope 20t will be enough, but after downloading plans for a full hydraulic press, a 75lb air hammer, a mechanical power hammer, and a McDonald rolling mill, I realized than all those designs would require more time, knowledge and money than I have at my disposal currently. Hence I opted for an air over hydraulic press. You can find photos on this address http://www.knivesplus.com/minihydraulicpress.html
a full discussion of several isssues, and more photos here http://forums.dfoggknives.com/index.php?showtopic=9932
and some videos of it in operation here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwZ-GYUZZEY.
Total cost was about 1000 Euros, which appears pretty steep, until you start checking prices for used hydraulic presses (I got quotes in the range of 3000-4000 Euros)... Around 550 Euros is the cost for a single phase, 3hp, 100lt air compressor, 300 Euros for the air over hydraulic jack (the brand is Mega, which is Spanish I think), and another 150 Euros for the steel frame, return springs, and various odds and ends. Plus I was really lucky to have a friend who is a professional welder TIG the whole thing together (took us 6 hours, cost me nothing but gratitude to said friend, and about two hours of post midnight excruciating eye pain due to welder's eye...).
Also I figured I could also use the air compressor to build a small air hammer in the future.
Right now, since my cheap Chinese belt grinder went kaputt, the next project is to build a proper belt grinder... and THEN I might actually get to doing some real swordsmithing work. Last quote I got for a 1.5 hp belt grinder was over 1000 Euros, so I guess I will have to build that myself as well. Oh well...
This page is diary of my forays into the world of Japanese swordsmithing. Since the Japanese consider all us Westerners as gaijin, the name is an obvious pun on Nihonto...

Japanese sword etiquette
Again, since I have little to show in terms of my work (day job having taken over for the last few days), here is an excellent video on proper sword etiquette by Grey Doffin of the JSSUS (once you see it, make sure you load the second part as well).
Sword etiquette is really important; many times, non Japanese people just go grabbing a sword, touching the blade, waving it around, etc. I have even had people bang a blade of mine on a bench to see if it was really hard...
Even an amateur blade made by a gaijin like myself does not deserve such treatment!
Such behavior, apart from being really rude, could also be dangerous. A Japanese sword is basically a really long shaving razor... not to talk about all the spiritual aspects, which is another subject completely.
The video is pretty long, and might be tedious for some people, but it goes to show how complex the subject really is.

Still not much time to work as I was out of town for a few days, so once again I'm only posting a link.
I recently started Iaido at one of the best schools here, http://furyu-dojo.org/en/, in order, both to get an understanding of how a sword is to be used, as well as to be able to legally make one (swords here are considered weapons by the law, essentially indistinguishable from firearms).
The video link is from a different iaido school than the one I am attending, but at that level of expertise that does not matter much.

Not enough time to work, so not much to show. I have actually been working on building a 20t forging press and experimenting at making mokume gane, but more on that when I am finished.
For the time being, here is some eye candy...
from an excellent site I came upon. Enjoy!

Film and television production is a team game, and therefore communication and integration are key to the smooth running of any production. I have over 40 years of experience (that includes working in every department at one stage or another,) which has given me a vast knowledge and intimate understanding of the reliance of individuals in the crew on others to enable them to operate optimally.
Whether you are setting up a new production (or production department,) or need assistance to tweak the efficiency and economic viability of an established one, I can help by trouble shooting, implementing efficient systems and upgrading skills.
If you have a problem that you can't solve because you don't have the knowledge or the time, I will analyse the problem for you, and figure out the best course of action to take. The truth is that you often don't need more time or more money – the solution is frequently lies in better planning, improved systems or upgrading skills.
I enable you to work smarter by looking at the situation from a fresh perspective, and because I am not bound by any corporate culture, company history, worker scrutiny or morale, I am able to act as the catalyst for change – troubleshooting issues and making recommendations to fix or improve where necessary.
I design bespoke workshops, classes and training programmes for all needs and occasions; especially the use and integration of screenwriting and scheduling software.
If you are interested in using this service, I offer a free 15 minute conversation on Skype, during which we can discuss your needs, thereafter we can decide on a way forward.
