It was the last Sunday of grad week. I'd frequented the grad ball the previous night. It was 2pm Sunday and I had not eaten anything yet. Hunger was raging.
I was craving some carby, salty yet healthy-ish food (yes I am a weird hungover) and thought a great bet would be a relatively new restaurant to Exeter – Urban Burger. I'd been before which… was a weird experience. Ollie and I were the only ones in the restaurant, which I know didn't set the ambiance off, however we were surrounded by very clichéd fake 90's graffiti decor, whilst smooth jazz echoed through the restaurant. We didn't hang about. Nonetheless the food was pretty good! We both agreed a takeaway would be better – especially with a great 15% discount on eat-in prices.
I opted for the 'Aphrodite' (God knows about the name) wrap hit the spot – Grilled Halloumi, rocket, tomato, red onion, hummus, grilled peppers, courgette, aubergine, Tzatziki. deee-lish.

Roasted Red Pepper & Mushroom Egg Casserole
We have chickens....seven of them. In the winter the amount of eggs we get everyday drops off, so right now we get anywhere from 2-5 eggs a day. For a family of three, that's a lot of eggs. Whenever I accumulate too many I give them away to my step-daughter, friends, or co-workers. Needless to say, sometimes I STILL have too many eggs! That's when I make egg casseroles for breakfast or crust-less quiches for dinner.
Here is my latest concoction. I used apple chicken sausage because I love the sweet & savory combination, however if you are at all iffy about it, just use regular sausage. Easy, filling and hits the spot on a cold winter morning....like today, it was -8 degrees when I left for work! Luckily, or maybe not so luckily, my car still started. Brrrr!!! My husband, who is not the biggest fan when it comes to liking sweet & savory combinations, tried this and surprised me by saying he really liked it! Go figure....give it a try and maybe it'll surprise you too!
Roasted Red Pepper & Mushroom Egg Casserole
1 cup Montery Jack cheese
1 tbsp flour
6 links of apple chicken sausage, cut into small bite-sized pieces
1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced or chopped
1/2 small onion, chopped
1/3 cup roasted red peppers, chopped
1 cup Cheddar cheese
8 eggs
1/2 cup milk
Cook sausage, drain and set aside. Mean-while, in another small pan, saute the onions and mushrooms in 1 tbsp of butter until onions are translucent, about 20 minutes. In a medium bowl mix eggs with milk until well blended. Spread Montery Jack cheese in bottom of greased 9 x 11 (or an 8x8 dish) casserole dish. Sprinkle the flour over cheese. Layer sausage, onion & mushroom mixture and roasted red peppers, then pour in the egg mixture. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Cover and let set overnight in the fridge for at least 12 hours, longer is fine. Cook at 350 for about 45 minutes or until eggs are set in the middle.

Dear Little B Books, I want to start by telling you I have a meat and potatoes man. I am new to your site and first tried your Balsamic Pot Roast. I am not much for crock-pots, but wow was I surprised and delighted. My husband loved it and is still eating the left overs. Tonight I made your Sun dried Tomato Chicken and I was so surprised but he loved that too and of course I did. Tomorrow I am thinking of making your Mexican Syle Stuffed Peppers. Thank you Little B for taking the time to make the recipes clear and pictures to go with. You're the best and I am glad I found you site. I would love to make some of your "goodies", but with the holidays over, trying to stay on track with somewhat of a diet. ha-ha. Take care and thanks again.ReplyDelete

Thank you Trisha - such a nice comment! I am so glad you are enjoying the site and the recipes (your husband too). Both my husband & son fall into that meat & potatoes category also, so it can be challenging at times to find things they like. The Island Pork tenderloin recipe is a favorite of all of ours - it's a sweet & spicy (but not too spicy) flavor and it's amazing (not an original recipe by me, but it's been a big hit when I make it for people & on this site). Thank you for taking the time to comment & I hope you find many more recipes you both like ;)ReplyDelete
I don't think it will be any surprise that I LOVE this recipe! The sweet and savoury flavour combinations are perfect, in fact I'm making this dish this morning!! Thanks for sharing such a tasty breakfast recipe..ReplyDelete

IMU SA Courtesy Week Closing Ceremony
When was the last time you heard "please" and "thank you" from someone making an order at a restaurant? Or when someone had given up a seat on a public transport to an elderly? Can you recall how often you see people pushing past the door instead of holding it open for everyone else? In this fast-paced era it seems as though what were once called basic courtesies of daily lives are now sorely lacking in the current society. Fret not, Courtesy Week which was organized by IMU Student Ambassadors (SA), was held from 8th to 19th August to raise awareness and aimed to instill courtesy as a part of everyone's daily lives. Throughout the two weeks, several events to practice proper courtesy were carried out for everyone to practice namely elevator etiquette, escalator etiquette, language barrier as well as appreciation day. Not only that, The Most Congenial IMU People online voting competition allowed students to vote for the Most Congenial Staff, Lecturer and Vendor.
The Closing ceremony for IMU SA Courtesy Week 2016 took place in the driveway on the 19th of August and kicked off with entertaining dance performances and hilarious jokes by the emcees. Joanne Lee, the chairperson of this project, delivered her speech where she graciously thanked everyone who made Courtesy Week a success. This was then followed by a speech by the Deputy Vice President of IMU (International and Engagement), Dr. Mei Ling Young. Clearly reluctant to close such a purposeful event, she urged everyone to keep those practices going even though she was officially supposed to end the event.
After a fun and interactive Kahoot quiz, it was finally time to award the winners of the voting competition. The winners include Dr. Louis Liew Yun Khoon from Life Sciences and Dr. Chin Swee Yee from Pharmacy for the Most Congenial Lecturers, Mr. Sara and Ms. May Kuan from SSH for the Most Congenial Staff and lastly, the Malay Muslim Stall (Pandan Serai) for the Most Congenial Vendor.
Stemming from her daily frustration of having to ask people to make way when using the escalator, Joanne was inspired to come up with an event that would remind others the importance of being courteous. "We felt that courtesy is a basic value everyone should have, but is often neglected due to busyness." She explained how they had set various themes on different days to raise awareness on certain courteous behaviours. The response was very pleasing. "On the 1st and 2nd day we did elevator and escalator etiquette which everyone practised accordingly so yay! On the 3rd day, we did flash mobs on breaking down language barrier, where we focused on speaking English so that those who rely on English to interact would not feel excluded as there are times when we tend to forget that we have friends whose first language is English. The 4th day was highlighted on showing appreciation and greeting one another. Often times, we forget to acknowledge the contribution of guards and cleaners. So the Student Ambassadors gifted them with handmade cards, just to say thank you."
So, is common courtesy a thing of the past? Definitely not, in the community of IMU. As a saying goes, life is short but there is always time for courtesy.

To WormMail (WRML) mailing list
WRML. WormFaxNSW-January. Managing drought. Incorporating Turning the Worm
WormFax – January issue
This should be up on the web soon: http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/aboutus/resources/periodicals/newsletters/wormfax
WormFax is a monthly round up of WormTest results for sheep from NSW's two major veterinary parasitology labs.
As expected, given drought conditions across much of the state, worm egg counts (WECs) are generally low.
HOWEVER, there are some mobs with high WECs. Some examples:
Armidale. Hoggets. Mean WEC = 6000 eggs per gram of faeces (epg). 67% Haemonchus; 33% Trichostrongylus. (What do these worm names mean? See: http://www.wormboss.com.au/worms.php)
Armidale. Ewes/lambs. Mean WEC = 10,000. 100% Haemonchus. (What's happening here? You can bet pounds to peanuts that inadvertent use of ineffective drenches (flying in the dark) is part of the story).
Riverina. Rams. Mean WEC=4040. 80% Trichostrongylus; 20% Teladorsagia. (Surprised? Did you expect a count this high would be dominated by Haemonchus? This shows the value of getting a 'worm type' / larval differentiation done).
South East. Ewes. Mean WEC= 2600 epg. 97% Haemonchus.
What WECs trigger a drench? See the DDG for you region e.g. http://www.wormboss.com.au/tests-tools/management-tools/drench-decision-guide/tablelands-slopes.php
So, worms are still important in droughts. For example, in a 'sacrifice' paddock (where livestock are kept for supplementary/drought feeding) after showers of rain.
Also, consider selection for drench resistance in droughts/dry spells. It is thought that there is higher selection for drench resistance when drenching during dry times, because, like drenching onto very clean paddocks, there are very few worms in refugia.
See this article by my WormBoss colleagues: http://www.wormboss.com.au/news/articles/drench-resistance/use-refugia-to-prolong-drench-life.php Take the time to read this: it's very important.
[Refugium (plural: refugia).
Biology: an area in which a population of organisms can survive through
a period of unfavourable conditions, especially glaciation. Origin 1950s;
from Latin, literally 'place of refuge'. Oxford Dictionary of English).
(In this context, the 'unfavourable
conditions' refers to exposure to (lethal or injurious doses of) anthelmintics)].
You don't want to drench unnecessarily during droughts, but you do want to drench if necessary. And, when you drench, you need to check the drench was highly effective. For all these, the tool you need to use is WormTest.
http://www.wormboss.com.au/tests-tools/tests/checking-a-mob-of-sheep-for-worms.php http://www.wormboss.com.au/tests-tools/tests/checking-for-drench-resistance.php
WormMail (WRML), WormFax and Turning the Worm (TTW)
WormMail is an informal and more or less weekly newsletter. It also serves / has served as a conduit for WormFax and TTW.
WormFax is a monthly summary of sheep WormTests from around NSW. It is published to the NSW DPI website. Notice of a new monthly WormFax is made through WormMail.
Turning the Worm (ISSN 1442-8466) is/was a more formal and less frequent newsletter. It was published to the NSW DPI website, and also sent out via WormMail.
There have been no new TTWs since 2011; WormMail has taken its place. TTW will be 'taken down' from the NSW DPI website, but archives will be kept deep in the bowels of some DPI server, and the editor's (my) hard drive (where things are equally hard to find).
An index of TTWs is attached.
How droughty?

This was mentioned in a recent WRML. Here is more. Read this and the references while doing one of your more mundane /less important tasks. 🙂

On November 11th in 1918 the armistice agreement between the Allies and Germany was finally signed, bringing an end to the war which had raged throughout Europe, at least in the western front. This agreement, which had taken several weeks to negotiate, was signed in a railway car in the Compiègne Forest in northern France and went into effect at 11:00 AM that day. From this we get the term "the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month." Right up until the final minute of the hostilites, war raged, but as that 11th hour struck, the western front went quiet and effectively ended "the war to end all wars."
For the Allied countries, this date became significant, and memorials were created, perhaps most notably to honor the unknown war dead. In Great Britain, the remains of an unknown soldier were interred at Westminster Abbey. In France, an unknown soldier was buried beneath the Arc de Triomphe. And in the United States, in 1921 the Tomb of the Unknowns was dedicated at Arlington National Cemetery and the remains of an unidentified soldier were interred. Congress declared November 11th a national holiday, Armistice Day.
Unfortunately, the "war to end all wars" did not live up to it's name, and just a few decades later the second World War began. And that was followed by conflicts in Korea and Vietnam and the Middle East twice and Afghanistan, plus many other military operations in other places around the globe in which American servicemen and servicewomen bravely served. And even in times of peace, our military forces are always working, always protecting, always preparing for when the time when they will be called upon again to protect the principles that our country was founded upon.
And while today's modern technological age has virtually guaranteed that no brave man or women who dies in service to this country will no longer by named, that was not always the case. Unknown war dead from World War II, Korea and Vietnam were interred into the Tomb of the Uknowns throughout the years. Through DNA testing, the remains of the Vietnam soldier were eventually identified and removed and returned to his family. All that remains today are the remains of the soldiers from World Wars I and II and the Korean conflict.
Because wars continued to be fought, Armistice Day was changed to Veterans Day in 1954. On this day each year we give special attention to all of those who served our country, in both peacetime and times of conflict, both living and dead.
Were it not for the sacrifice made by these people and their families, the United States of America would not be the same country as we know it. The often used saying goes "Freedom isn't free." If you ever want to know how true this is, ask a veteran.
So today, during this eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, please take time to remember, honor and thank our veterans for their service to this country.
Many went, some came back, some are still there, and some will never return. And for all of these people, we give our thanks.
Thank you, Dad.
Thank you, Grandpa.
Thank you, Donna.
Thank you, Paul.
Thank you, everyone else may or may not read this for their service, whether I know you or not.

The communication between the pilot and air traffic controllers is very important. Traffic controllers provide pilots with signals if it is safe to land or if there are possible objects that may collide with them in their path. These days, air-ground communication has become a lot easier. Modern devices are already in place. However, this was not as easy as it used to be. Back then, ground crews would simply make use of colored paddles and hand signals as visual aids. This primitive technique was extremely difficult especially since pilots had no way in communicating back.
Air-Ground Communication: A Historical Perspective
When colored flags and waving of hands were already proven ineffective, better technology was developed. This gave birth to telegraph systems. Messages were sent via Morse codes. Despite this more modern innovation, communication was still extremely hard. Sometimes, the signals sent and received were erroneous. There were cases of pilot misinterpreting the codes that led to deadly errors. In 1917, AT&T created the air-to-ground radio transmitter, which was considered a breakthrough. It had the ability to send signals ranging up to 2,000 yards. With this technology, Morse code was replaced since voice communication became possible. Radar was eventually developed in the mid 1930's. This technology became even more helpful during the war. Pilots were able to navigate better and reach their destinations faster. The technology also allowed pilots to drop bombs against enemies accurately.
Modern Radar Versions
Over the years, the first radar kept on evolving until it has become an essential tool for ground to air communications. Today, every plane makes use of radar so it will be easily tracked down by air traffic control towers. Transponders have also been used so that the planes would be easily identified by the tower. Using transponders, mid-air collisions and ground accidents can be avoided. In fact, more modern versions have already been created to the point where a pilot is no longer needed to fly a plane. These are called unmanned aerial vehicles. These are used especially for drones. Planes without pilots can be used for ground attacks and video surveillance. They also used for geographical survey and in the oil and mining industry.
English as the Official Language
Since voice communication is required for pilots and traffic controllers, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has mandated all traffic controllers and flight crews to make use of English especially for international flights. They must also be familiar of the standard ICAO Radio Telephony Phraseology. This became effective starting January 1, 2008. Before anyone could be accepted for a job involving international flights, he or she has to pass a standard test first. The language proficiency test is required for all non-native speakers of English. The test covers pronunciation, structure, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Those who fail to pass the test will run the risk of removal in international flights. Tests will also be given to native speakers, but it will be more of a listening test just to check whether they have hearing impairments or not. An in-house language testing expert will be required to assess the skills of the applicants. Commercial tests such as TOEFL won't be acknowledged as these tests don't cover speaking and listening skills. There are certain descriptors in each level of the test that applicants have to pass.
Air-ground communication has already gone a long way ever since planes were invented. This is something positive since proper air-ground communication plays an important role for a safe trip.

"Campaign consisting of 7 tvc's, plenty of Zeitgeist close to the consumer. The creative concept takes on the principle of simplification with its unapologetic execution into a daringly stylized world in concise, clear messages."
German supermarket chain Rewe advertises a new aesthetic for living better lifes
With a mash up of CGI, stop motion und heavy filtering, Berlin agency Heimat suggests a counter-trend to the current en vogue authenticity for their client Rewe. This is not the New Aesthetic James Bridle had in mind with his NA, which had evolved from pixelating our world (Google Street View made unrecognisable, military stealth-technologies…) and is now becoming questionable with the introduction of the retina screen resolution.
Good luck with the new aesthetic.
A dream that may come true for social engineers. Star Trek sterility compared to the hopelessly unattractive German supermarkets. Consumers begin to resemble facebook graphics and business people are already familiar with this sort of thing from powerpoint slides and info graphics. Democratising the entire family with a diminishing, stylised lens as if photographed by David Hamilton, by which paedophiles will no longer helplessly stand opposite to those under age. Instead of the the familiar swiping, all you got to do is snipe your fingers and the innovations come tumbling into your shopping cart.

Would advertising be art, as was proclaimed by acknowledged top creative Michael Schirner and GGK in the Seventies, Rewe would be a branch or replicant of MoMa and people from around the world would come flying in to see how society is being forced to look into the mirror.
Art critiques would write things like: "With the exception of their supermarkets, Rewe just doesn't play dirty enough." and "What Rewe needs now is a spokesperson like Tom Cruise."

ISAP wins Best Paper Award at the 16th IEF Conference
We are thrilled to share the news that ISAP won The Best Paper Award for Original insights into Good Practice in the 16th International Entrepreneurship Forum (IEF) Conference held from 14-16th September, 2017 in Nepal.
The quantitative research "Enhancing the Role of Local Government and Non-government Agencies and Leveraging Skills Development for Enterprise Promotion in Nepal" was one of the papers presented among over 60 papers from 16 different countries.
The research overviews local strategies and policies on skills development, along with measuring perception towards, importance of, and current practices of coordination and collaboration among government and non-government agencies that lead to work duplication and resource wastage, overall limiting impact of skill development into resulting sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem in Nepal.
We would like to extend our gratitude to Daayitwa for collaborating to redesign the original research that was conducted during Daayitwa Fellowship 2016 by our fellow employee Ms. Triveni Chand for further research and add relevance to changing government structure along with Mr. Pankaj Parajuli and Mr. Biswa Giri.
Please feel free to contact us if you are interested to know more about our research.
Thank you!!

Brilliant, Jill. Brilliant.
I put it off for weeks and weeks. I literally had no idea how to start. We had a lot of boxes and a pirate costume and time was ticking away. The incredibly crafty, Cassie has been posting How-To instructions on her blog for making the phenomenal costumes she has made for her son over the years. Top on her lists of materials is a glue gun. I don't glue gun. I have used one before and it was messy.
I do, however, use duct tape very efficiently. So, with a couple rolls of tape and a box, I set out on my pirate ship adventure:
Step One: Get a friend who is slightly more crafty than you. My friend, Jen, agreed to help me tackle the pirate ship, which was very good because she kept me focused when I stared blankly at the mess in my TV room and wondered what in the world we should do next.
Step Two: Get a big box and draw a picture of what you want to make. I wanted a pirate ship that would fit in my van (very important!) and that would not impede the use of Kingsley's wheelchair. And if it was easily identifiable as a pirate ship, well that was just gravy.
Step Three: Measure twice... then have someone else measure and then cross your fingers and cut anyway. We started with a long box, but knowing the size of my trunk, knew we'd have to trim it down. It gave us about a foot in front and behind his wheels to work with. We cut out the bottom, then the ends so that we could have them come to a point, then taped it all together. At this point, we were using packing tape. It is forgiving enough to let you redo until you get it right.
After that came some more blind cutting as we tried to figure out how to get the box closer to the ground. We cut out space around his wheels, foot pedal and brakes, along with a hole in the top to allow the handles to go through. Next came a hole in the top for Kingsley to go through.
Step Four: Customize to fit your kid. Once we trimmed enough to make it easily slide down over his wheelchair and trimmed a hole big enough to easily put him in and out without having to dismantle anything, and made sure the brakes, handles, and wheels were all free, we stuck him in and let him wheel around a bit. Quickly, we realized we would need to trim the sides a bit so that he could better reach his wheels. Once that was done, we were set. Out came the Gorilla Tape and all edges were taped up for extra waterproofing and a seamless look... since I am not that skilled with an exacto knife or scissors and it was a bit of a hot, jagged mess. ;)
Step Five: Have your crafty brother-in-law come over and tell you how to pimp the ride. At this point in our adventure, Jen and I were about tapped out in the creativity department. Kevin, who pretty much lives at Home Depot, dropped by and was accosted and asked for input. Some of his suggestions regarding parrots and canons were a bit over our heads, but others like port holes and a crow's nest were completely doable. We hit up Home Depot and were all set. We bought 2 dowels, one thick, one thin, and made a mast out of them with duct tape of course. We cut a hole in a black bandana and slid it over for the sail. Then got a small green fruit basket for the crow's nest (out of my compost bin, not Home Depot!), construction paper (from Rachel's craft bin), and zip ties to attach it. We cut a hole in the bottom of the fruit basket so it would slide down the thicker dowel, then made a tape ring to stop it from sliding too far.
It fit perfectly in my van (phew!) except for the mast, which we assembled in the parking lot of the Halloween party with the zip ties and then had to cut off to go home. My mom suggested zip tying a waterbottle to the back of his chair and then dropping the pole into that, so I'm going to test that idea out today.
I should also mention the Jolly Roger that I made for his mast:
I hadn't planned on doing anything more than the skull and bones, but when I googled to get a better idea of what one looked like, the wheelchair pirate popped up and we knew that he had to have that instead. I modified the wheel into a heart because I love 3E Love and what they represent.
Most importantly, Kingsley LOVES his pirate ship. He sailed around in that thing like a boss. It's a very light costume and the box just rests on his chair, doesn't actually attach in any way. It was WAY easier than I thought it would be, but looks quite impressive if you don't look too closely!
So there, all you uncrafty mama's out there. It is possible. ;)

74. How I Came West, and Why I Stayed by Alison Baker
Fantastic. That kind of sums up how I feel about this collection of stories. Some of them really are just that good, others show features that decidedly belong in works of fantasy, and all 13 of them show great imagination. Issues of gender and/or sexuality come up in all of the stories, but these aren't explicit tales; a worldly teenager shouldn't be embarrassed by them. That's about all I can say about all the stories at once, as they're very varied. The character voice is very clear in each, even beyond the usually first-person narrator. Oh, and they're all set in the modern US (hm, well one probably isn't, but it isn't clear that the narrator of that one really knows where within a continent she is anyhow).
This is a book I came across somewhat randomly, finding it in the BookMooch inventory of someone we were getting other books from at a time when we had points to spare (which we don't now, but that's a different issue) and I'm glad I took the chance on it. I think the first and title story is the most bizarre in its premise, but possibly the last story 'Better Be Ready 'Bout Half Past Eight' is the best in my opinion. It tells a story from start to finish, and shows the characters coming to understand different perspectives on themselves and others.

What did your parents tell you about going to the dentist? Did they talk about how your dentists could help you take care of your teeth, gums and even your smile? Instead, they probably emphasized the negative: "It won't hurt much," or "Your toothache will be gone."
For most of us, the stories we heard about visiting dentists described how the person in the white jacket helped relieve tooth pain. We didn't hear about the dentists creating opportunities for good dental health and an attractive bright smile.
Comparing the dentistry your parents knew with the new dentistry that has emerged over the past ten to fifteen years is like comparing the computers of the 1950's with today's powerful desktop machines. The differences are vast. Yet, as dental care consumers, most of us have not updated our old stories. You haven't added new chapters about the great possibilities for dental care and dental well-being that the new dentistry offers.
You can experience these new possibilities for oral and dental health by creating partnerships with your dentists and their dental teams. You can take advantage of innovations and advances in:
Today's dental care teams have the knowledge, skills and information to help create a positive dental health future. A partnership is based on communication and mutual responsibility, and you can actively foster that first communication.
You can begin to partner with your dentists and their dental care teams by:
Your parents didn't have the choices or the opportunities that you have today for optimal dental health. The new dentistry can create more than a warm bright smile; it can improve your overall health.
The future of your dental health is in your hands just as the future of your bodily health is. Taking steps to increase your knowledge about the new dentistry will provide great benefits for you today and tomorrow.
By Brian DesRoches, PhD
Franklin D. Roosevelt was right: the only thing we have to fear is … fear itself.
Many times, the worst part of a procedure is the anxiety a patient endures before even climbing into the chair. It's a problem that's preventable, and your dentist would like to help you with that right now.
If you (or someone you care about) has an appointment that's beginning to darken your thoughts, try this: First focus on the specifics of your dental fear. Is it the procedure in general, or a particular piece of equipment, or a vague sense of invasion of the privacy of your mouth? Once you've got it pinned down, talk with your dentist about it. If it's general dental anxiety, your dentist can help you feel better. If it's concern over a specific instrument or technique, often your dentist can change the way he does things.
You can help the "pre-op jitters" by avoiding stimulants (coffee, cocoa, sugar) six hours before your visit. And concentrate on breathing naturally; denying yourself oxygen increases anxiety.
Finally, there's a matter of trust. When your dentist describes a procedure, ask him to be honest. Ask him to tell you if it will be uncomfortable or stressful, if he tells you it won't be, believe him. And spare yourself the unnecessary burden of dental phobia.

Do You Really Need A Website?
Whether you are a business owner or are thinking of starting one, having a website is one of those things that you should seriously consider. Apart from a business, any cause that you are passionate about and care for is good enough reason to look into having a website. For one thing, it is the 21st century and not having a website does not say much about your business. On the contrary it says very little.
Perceptions Are Everything
The way people perceive you and your business is critical and a website can be a contributing factor towards forming that perception in the minds of people in general and in the minds of your customers in particular. People tend to attribute success to a business that has a website and it is therefore a good idea to get one.
A website also brings in a perception of professionalism to the brand it stands for. Building a professional and high quality website is an involved process which is not easily successfully pulled off. When people look at a website that is elegant and professional, they automatically attribute those very qualities to the business behind the website.
Not only does a website convey the right image for the business behind it, it can also play the important role of shaping the perceptions that people have of the business. By the use of words, colour and imagery on a website, the tone and message that the business would like to project can be articulated in the design as well as the message of the website.
Convenience That Never Sleeps
A website is an active resource that runs 24/7, 365 days a year. This represents convenience for both the business as well as its customers. Customers can interact with the business on a time and schedule that suits them. They can find out more about a product or service even at odd hours of the day. Furthermore, they can do so at their own convenience- be it at home, the office or on the road.
This convenience also works to the advantage of the business. The business can be assured that they can serve their customers with vital information without the need for someone to continuously attend to the process. If a website is well designed and structured, customers may get more information from a website and respond to cues from web forms at their convenience, allowing the business to follow through later.
Affordable and Effective Marketing Platform
A website can be used as an effective marketing platform, acting as an entry point for customers to get to learn more about the business and its offerings. This is achieved at relatively low cost as the maintenance costs for a website quiet low. What makes a website great is that it offers two way communication. Not only can you reach out to your customers, you may also provide means for them to interact with you through the website.
Often, a business has to use multiple marketing and advertising approaches to maximise its chances of reaching potential clients. A website can therefore be used in conjunction with other marketing approaches such as social media and search engine optimization. Having a website strengthens the impact of your marketing efforts on other platforms, such as social media. It allows you to present your offering in a more varied and personalised way than you otherwise would on such platforms.
It Should Be Done Right
Not all websites are created equal. It is therefore important that when building the website for your business, you get someone who can do the job right. If the website for your business is going to be effective and make an impact, it has to be designed professionally and according to the latest web standards. The designer should also take into account the prevailing web marketing trends when designing the website so that it will be easy to adopt some marketing strategies in the future.
The Answer Should Be Obvious
Considering the benefits that arise as a result of improved perception, more convenience and improved marketing opportunities afforded by a website, it should be obvious that a business that does not implement a well designed and developed website will miss out on the advantages that having a website brings. Building a website brings to the business these advantages and more and should be a serious consideration for any business. It therefore goes without saying that, yes, you really do need a website if your business is to improve and flourish.

10 Things You Didn't Know About Tim Cook
A few months after Steve Jobs took his first leave of absence from Apple in early 2009, Wall Street started to fall for Apple's acting CEO Tim Cook.
Gene Munster, a prominent Apple analyst, told The Wall Street Journal in June of that year that Cook was even more essential to Apple's future, from an investor perspective, than Jobs. "At this point," he said, "losing Tim Cook would be a bigger deal to investors than if Steve Jobs stepped aside."
That may have been welcome news for Cook and Apple at the time, but at least one person was unhappy: Steve Jobs.
"When Jobs heard about the press's sterling evaluation of Cook's performance, he hit the roof," Yukari Iwatani Kane writes in her new book, Haunted Empire: Apple After Steve Jobs. "Cook had done an excellent job, but the leadership and skill he showed in doing so was unsettling."
In Kane's telling, based on interviews with current and former Apple employees, Jobs got upset at Cook and shouted: "I'm the CEO!" Cook was "unfazed" and "slipped back into the shadows" until he eventually took over as permanent CEO two years later.
This episode sheds a light on Jobs' thinking about naming a successor and Cook's careful maneuvering before, during and after the transition to become CEO of what was then one of the most valuable companies in the world. Jobs is portrayed in the book as genuinely wanting Apple to be successful in his absence, but perhaps not too successful. Cook, on the other hand, is portrayed as being a strong manager capable of steering the ship, but not someone likely to overshadow Jobs' legacy.
"If Jobs was the star," Kane writes, "then Cook was the stage manager."
(In an unusual move, Cook issued a statement slamming the book as "nonsense" that "fails to capture Apple, Steve or anyone else in the company.")
Wall Street doesn't praise Cook's performance quite as much these days. The company's stock soared to new highs early on in Cook's tenure, but has since tumbled back down to the low $500-range. Investors and consumers alike are waiting to see whether Apple can continue to innovate and release another breakthrough product. In short, Kane writes, Apple "now teeters at the edge of a reckoning."
Whether the company falls off the edge depends in large part on a CEO who remains a mystery to many inside and outside the company. Cook is frequently described in the press with the same few (sometimes contradicting) words: Calm. Meticulous. Incredibly demanding. A machine who doesn't need sleep.
Kane's book sheds a little more like on Cook's life and character through interviews with colleagues and people who've known him over the years, as well as stitching together second-hand materials. Here are a few of the things we learned about Apple's CEO:
1. Tim Cook's first job was delivering newspapers as a teenager — the Press-Register, a publication in his home state of Alabama. He also worked part-time with his mom at a local pharmacy.
2. His first experience running a company came while he was still in school at Auburn University. While working at Reynolds Aluminum as part of an educational program, the company laid off much of its staff. He ended up working closely with the president to help oversee the company.
3. Cook wanted to be an engineer. He studied industrial engineering in college and was described by one teacher as "a solid B-plus or A-minus student."
4. Cook may have had grand ambitions to be rise to the top from his first days at the company. He broke with tradition for operations executives at the company and requested to have a "small office kitty-corner" to Steve Jobs' office. "Few people thought much of it at the time," Kane writes, "but they would later look back at it as an indication of the new leader's ambition."
5. Cook reportedly referred to himself as the "Attila the Hun of inventory."
6. Over the years, recruiters have approached Cook with offers to serve as the CEO of other big tech companies like Dell and Motorola. He never budged.
7. Cook can be nearly as devastating in his dealings with staff as his predecessor Steve Jobs. He isn't one for small talk. Instead, he grills employees by asking the same question over-and-over, or else waiting silently for long periods of time for a satisfactory answer, all while nursing a can of Mountain Dew or an energy bar. On one occasion, he calmly told a planner: "Your numbers make me want to jump out that window over there."
8. Cook called his mother every week even when he was traveling around the world to handle issues with Apple's supply chain. (Extra fact: his parents never used computers.)
9. He is very frugal both as a manager and in his personal life. Cook lived in a rental for years without air conditioning and, apparently, buys his underwear at Nordstrom's half-yearly sale. As a manager, he is described as someone who "would haggle over a nickel to drive profits."
10. Cook shied away from personal dealings with employees and worked out a different gym. However, as CEO, he does eat lunch with random employees in the Apple cafeteria, something Jobs rarely did.
BONUS: Tim Cook claims to not have a fear of failing. "If you start fearing things, then you don't try anything new or different," he once said in an interview with his alumni magazine. "If it doesn't work out, it's not the end of my world. I'll go ride my bike."

It began with 68 teams fighting for a chance to make it to the championship game. After a week of upsets and shocking defeats, now it is down to the Final Four - Butler, Connecticut, Kentucky, and Virginia Commonwealth. And what an exciting tournament it has been so far!
According to some early estimates, online viewership of the NCAA tournament is up over last year. Turner and CBS have reported a 47 percent increase this year in total visits to the March Madness On Demand Web site, attracting 2.4 million unique Web visitors. 36 percent of live streaming during the first weekend of the tournament came via an iPhone or iPad app.
So how are these sites continuing to handle the millions of anxious fans looking for updates to see how their brackets are faring?
Last week we reported that the NCAA's March Madness on Demand site was the frontrunner in Web performance. And it looks like they've been able to hold on to that number 1 position. The site delivered perfect performance this past week with 100 percent availability and 2.18 second average response time. Although they did show improvement in availability over Week 1, FoxSports.com continued to struggle with sluggish response times of over 16 seconds.
Yahoo's NCAA page had a big jump in response time in the middle of the tournament, from 5 seconds to 15 seconds, as you can see in the below graph. Let's see if this will affect their final placement in our rankings.
We've also been continuing to keep an eye on how some of these sites are performing for iPad and iPhone users over the AT&T wireless network from two monitoring locations.
When it comes to the iPhone, the average response time for sites remained steady at 12.78 seconds. CBSSports.com and ESPN.com performed above average on the iPhone in both response time and availability.
The user experience on the iPad has improved since the beginning of the tournament. Average response time dropped from 13.53 seconds during Week 1 to 12.91 seconds. While the average availability held steady at 98.71 percent. CBSSports.com was the top performer on the iPad with an average response time of 9.41 seconds and 99.44 percent availability.
Let's see which sites can finish strong and who will be the top performer during this year's tournament. Good luck to all the teams competing in the Final Four!

Donna Freydkin, USA TODAY
- %27Unbreakable%27 will be out this summer
- Rivera died in a plane crash in December
The late singer Jenni Rivera's memoir will be out in July.
Rivera died in a plane crash in December, at age 43. And Atria Books announced that her story will live on in Unbreakable, being published in both English and Spanish, according to the Associated Press. The book was approved by Rivera's family.
"I miss my sister every moment, but on days that I want to feel her close, I open her book written in her own words, and feel her right next to me," Rosie Rivera said in a statement from Atria.

This has been on my mind ever since I moved to New York City four and a half years ago and now I feel is the right time to get it off my plate (no pun intended)… why must so many New York area restaurants use those tiny napkins? I like to call them crapkins since they are horrible. You know the ones I am talking about, they are paper thin, 3 inches by 4 inches and have the power to clean at most one finger per use.
This rant opinion isn't even meant to be directed at Kosher restaurants since I know it exists in many non-kosher restaurants (I think they are used 100% of the time in NY area pizzerias). The first thought that comes to mind are that they may be the cheapest option for owners out there. OK, but don't they see that we just end up using 3 or 4 more times the napkins than of the kind of standard issue napkin you will get at any major US restaurant chain (and I can bet you they have done the math on napkin cost efficiencies), so it can't be a cost savings. Second thought are that they use these jenky ones because they think that people may be less inclined to steal them for their home supply. This may be true to some extent but the kind of person who takes napkins for their home will take any kind they can get anyways. If the napkins are good quality they may even return to the restaurant just for the napkins (I have done it before – The Prime Grill has great ones, you can soak up half an ocean with the absorbency in their napkins), not to forget that a logo on the napkin is free advertising anyways.
I can't think of any other reason as to why they use these crapkins, thoughts anyone? Please pass this on to anyone you know who owns a restaurant who may have an answer for us.

On October 1st, 2014 Women's College Hospital announced a $2 million gift from Peter Gilgan, philanthropist and founder and CEO of Mattamy Homes, to help build the Hospital of the Future.
WCH is Canada's leading academic, ambulatory hospital and a world leader in women's health. The new Hospital of the Future is an advanced facility unlike any other hospital. It provides ambulatory and outpatient health services combining innovative treatments, surgery, research and education without the need for overnight stays.
"We are extremely grateful for Peter's generosity and vision in helping to, quite literally, revolutionize healthcare," says Marilyn Emery, president and CEO of Women's College Hospital. "We're building a hospital designed to keep people out of hospital, which means we focus on improving treatment options and enhancing patients' quality of life so we can reduce hospital admissions and visits to the ER. It's the best model of care for our patients and it's a very cost-effective way to improve our health system as a whole."
Today's gift is part of the $70 million campaign to transform the hospital. The new Peter Gilgan Atrium will be a centrepiece of WCH's second phase of construction, now underway and scheduled to open in 2015.
"I'm always looking to make an impact on peoples' lives through areas of healthcare that are underserved", explains Peter Gilgan. "As a husband, father, and grandfather, I was drawn to the founding mission of Women's College Hospital as a place of healthcare for women, but these folks are also doing an effective job of reducing the cost of healthcare through tremendously innovative programs. That's a big part of the future of healthcare."
Women's College Hospital achieved a major milestone in May 2013 with the opening of the first phase of its new facility. The second and final phase of construction, including The Peter Gilgan Atrium, the Centre for Ambulatory Care Education and Women's College Research Institute, is on track toward an opening in fall 2015.

Full Description
*** SIGN-UP OPENS MON., AUG. 29 AND CLOSES MON., SEPT. 19 at 5:00 PM PDT***
This course will explore how a variety of open educational resources (OERs) can be used in K-12 classrooms.
OERs are materials, tools, and media used for teaching and learning that are free from copyright restrictions or are publicly licensed for anyone to use, adapt, and redistribute. In this course, we'll be looking specifically at open content resources, such as text passages, images, videos, sound recordings, interactives, simulations, textbooks, online courses, and more that can be used to engage students and improve learning.
This course will be focused on hands-on learning driven by your own particular needs and classroom situations. We'll be collaborating and creating, not just reading or studying.
Target audience: U.S. K-12 educators
Prerequisite knowledge/skills:
- Be a U.S. K-12 teacher or administrator
- Have solid knowledge of your grade level and subject curriculum and standards
- Have a basic knowledge of integrating technology into the classroom (some use of Web 2.0 tools, multimedia, etc.)
Possess a willingness to share work you have created with others
Course dates: Oct. 3 - Nov. 13, 2011 (6 weeks)
Course commitments:
Participants should be willing to:
- Share, learn, and teach as a part of this peer learning course
- Commit to spend 4-6 hours a week on this course (Most of the time will be asynchronous, but there will be 2-3 optional webinars. They will also be archived for later viewing.)
- Share at least one resource you have created under an open license
Course goals:
After this course, participants will:
- Understand open licenses and be able to identify OERs
- Be familiar with a variety of OER sites suitable to their own grade level and subject area
- Know how to remix OERs into formats most suitable to their student learning needs
- Be able to publish and share their own work under open licenses
Course developer/facilitator:
Karen Fasimpaur is an enthusiastic user of OER in K-12 classrooms. She works with teachers to help integrate, remix, and share open-licensed curriculum to engage students and differentiate instruction. Prior to this work, Karen was an educational multimedia producer, a textbook developer, and a teacher.
In other pursuits, Karen is a writer, cook, and carpenter. She lives in a remote part of the desert southwest in an off-the-grid (solar) house.

Not just a job: a talk with Sandra Hamdi, from AXA Assistance FranceAXA Assistance teams provide help to our customers every day, everywhere in the world. Among the many areas of expertise required for field missions, operations coordination is an especially strategic one. Sandra Hamdi, head of operations coordination, talks about this inspiring and highly fulfilling work. ALL ARTICLES | Commitment
What motivates you day-to-day in your work?
Every day is different. I have been working in this company for nearly 20 years and ask myself every day, "What will we accomplish today?". The work is varied and offers exactly what I wanted: to work at the core of the business and witness the concrete consequences of my actions.
For example, in the morning, I might help to set up new medical services, and in the afternoon, work on improving processes and making our customers' lives easier every day, while also touring our premises to highlight the strengths of our support. Also, being able to visit various AXA Group entities to meet and learn from our customers, partners and colleagues is a valuable opportunity that helps us move forward every day.
One thing is sure: this job is not just a job. We make a commitment, put a piece of ourselves in our work, and receive as much or more in return.
What mission has affected you the most and why?
Last year, I helped to make a video highlighting our ability to handle crisis situations around the world. It required filming scenes in the United States and in Asia, with one of our French teams. My role in this project was to get employees on-board, which led me to work with the marketing team and the film crew, and to find the location and the service provider that welcomed us for the shoot in Bordeaux. This was a chance for me to showcase our profession, which I like to communicate about every day.
What do you get out of your work?
Being able to tell myself every day, "I am going to be of help." Help to that customer on the other side of the world in need of services, help in implementing all our innovative products and services, help by making the everyday lives of my colleagues easier by improving coordination among them all.
This control-tower role makes my work extremely cross-functional, fascinating and life-enriching. I am the initial contact for all requests from other divisions or departments. That gives me an opportunity to interact with a wide variety of people. There is never a dull moment!
Why did you choose this profession?
I started out as a temporary call center worker almost 20 years ago. At first, it was just a summer job, but it quickly grew on me, and I've been here ever since!
I have acquired knowledge and skills and discovered aspects of this profession that I never imagined. With every new position, there is always some self-doubt and a need to move out of your comfort zone, but that's what helps you grow.
For my current position, I started with a blank page and had to build from scratch. Working alongside experts, doctors and nurses who volunteer outside of AXA with the fire department, emergency department or ambulance services, and knowing it was up to me to forge bonds between them and bring them best practices, gave me an immediate sense of commitment.
Today, I am working on many innovative projects to offer services other than travel assistance and repatriation to our customers. It is a big challenge, but a very exciting one!
What would you advise people who would like to enter this profession?
First, you must enjoy working with people and in a team. You can do it alone, but together it's easier! To those who would join us, I say that when you step into this fascinating medical assistance world, you open a door to the jobs of the future, because healthcare is in the midst of a transformation. Customers are not the same as before: their needs and expectations have changed. We must change, too. In these jobs, action is key. One must know how to adapt to the situation, listen, be responsive, and take initiative, because sometimes we are working against the clock!

This might not be the accurate taste, I guess. But watching her experienced all the ups and downs in the reproducing the food and get opinions from her naught but funny gourmet colleagues by side are enjoyment for the audience. What Bon's one's appetite? I guess it is the flavor made by hand and heart.

Today is day 5 of the Dukan Diet. You know what...the texture of chicken is really bothering me this week, maybe it's because it's not paired with crunchy vegetables or smooth potatoes or rice? I don't know, I just had some roasted chicken breast and literally had to gag it down. The same thing happened on Friday. Maybe I need a break from chicken? Although I am holding strong with the Attack Phase, I will be so glad to see these 7 days over.
I set up my Quantum scale last night and used it this morning for the first time. I think it will be great for when I get to maintenance because then all I will care about it staying within two pounds of my goal weight. But for losing weight, I think I like seeing the number - I will use it for the week and let you know my final thoughts and then do the giveaway - so stay tuned! The only downside that comes to mind immediately is that only one person can use it at a time because it stores the starting weight and then calculates all the other weights based on that.
Today was another uneventful day - it poured rain. Memo to Mother Nature: WTF???? So no run. I am going to have suck it up tomorrow if it rains again - I can't keep letting Mother Nature win this game.
No plans for this coming week. Work, home...repeat x 5. I've had a busy social life the last few weeks and I think I will welcome coming home every night and just chilling.
I lost my wedding ring today. It flew off my hand when I brushed my bangs away from my face and it took me a good 5 minutes outside to find where it had rolled to (under a Tim Horton's recycling / garbage bin). I was in an absolute panic and was overjoyed when I found it. Probably I should stop wearing it - it's clearly too big and I've been separated a year so it doesn't make sense to have it resized and keep wearing it...does it? I'm still wearing it, I just can't seem to go through the motion of pulling it off my finger and putting it away. I even have another ring to wear in it's place that I bought last summer - it's still sitting in it's little velvet box in my dresser. Don't get me wrong - I have no illusions, delusions, fantasies or hopes that Den and I will reconcile. I am not sure what the ring is symbolising to me at this point and why I don't want to take it off.

I decided to visit Japan this year. This is my first trip putting my foot down in this country. I can't tell you how much I really enjoy being in Japan. The people, the weather, how delicious the food in Japan. One thing for sure there are many people in Japan walking and at the same time there will be many people pass by you. It feels like the life in New York City.
I visited Shibuya, Odaiba, Shinjuku, Kabukicho, Harajuku. Staying there for 3 nights. That's why I have very limited time to go other places that I wanted to go such as Kyoto, Yokohama, Osaka, etc. But I have to say most of the time that I met people here in Japan, they're very polite. When you have question and you seem to be lost in a city, somehow there are people that is willing to help and guide you if you ask them. They even willing to walk you to the place that you need to go.
What I like the most is how Japan has a small street and small house and houses in Japan are built well nice and neat. Every structure there are very well organized and the area where I stayed is very quiet and peaceful.
By the way if you're going to do 7 days travel please get 7 days JR pass which you should get it outside from japan for about $249. For more info please feel free to drop some comment or contact me through my blog site at :
