Hello Product Hunters! I'm Pedro Oliveira co-founder @ Landing.jobs. The team and I are incredibly excited to have been hunted today. We'll be available all day to answer any comments you have. In the meantime, let me tell you what we have built and our aim. We're building a tech recruitment marketplace dedicated to matchmaking top tech professionals with curated job offers from top employers. Our aim is to treat our members like people, and not just another number on a database. You'll always hear back from us, and you'll always get honest feedback. Behind the scenes, our team is an international bunch of developers, designers, technologists and hiring specialists in Lisbon, London and Barcelona. Our main focus - for now - is tech roles within Europe :) We like to see ourselves as a no-spam (for both employers and tech pro's), pro-transparency and full-stack support product, and I hope that one day we'll be able to help all digital pro's better manage their careers.

Finding a job online is a little broken--anyone in tech with a LinkedIn account can tell you tales of being spammed by mismatching recruiters. Landing.jobs seems like it has a good chance to fix the system.

I recently came across and started using Landing Jobs (thanks @Bo_irik) after struggling to find local quality tech talent in Amsterdam. I like that Landing Jobs schedules calls with you, not only to find out the skills of tech talent you are looking to hire, but also what sort of personal values and cultural fit you're looking for. They then screen applicants first and only pass on the ones that really match. That personal approach is what sets it apart for me and why I think they will be successful. We've only been sent 2 applicants so far - but both are quality and a good match culturally for our team. Keep up the good work guys!

We're in the final days of fantasy baseball draft season and I'm taking a breather this weekend to survey my squads. This season's drafts have been a lot more fun than last year's as I've left the comfortable womb of undergrad 10-12 MLB drafts to graduate school formats like 12-team single league and 16-team mixed leagues. Going that deep in drafts makes you contemplate such unsavory questions as "Should I draft a Nationals pitcher?" and "Who will be Larussa's go-to utility guy?"
I'll cover the FantasyPros911 12-Team NL Blogger League in this post and cover the Yahoo! Roto Arcade 16-team mixed league in a separate one.
For those unfamiliar with FantasyPros911, they are running two expert leagues but relegated us to the '2nd division' as revenge for being good friends with Chuck D who has been (unfairly) critical of their site. Anyway, we were delighted to have the opportunity to test our fantasy baseballin' skillz with the other fine fantasy bloggers in this league. (Complete draft results here)
It was the traditional auction style draft where you have $260 for your roster and 7 reserve picks (we're still trying to finish up the last 2 rounds). While I think my player values were right on (especially after comparing against the NL LABR Draft), I had a few missteps on draft strategy and execution. I went in with a strategy of getting players at or below my estimated value and avoid big buck players in favor of a balanced squad. My fellow bloggers helped me avoid any temptations to draft a top player by overbidding just about every top player. Hanley went for a ridunkulous $54 (my valuation $39). Albert Pujols for $49 (my valuation $36). David Wright went for $48 (my valuation $41). Jose Reyes for $45 (my valuation $38). You get the idea. This left me on the sidelines in the beginning except when it came to drafting catchers. I don't particularly like investing $ or high draft choices on catchers because they get more time off, have greater injury risk, and tend to slow down in the 2nd half. But you have to mix things up a bit when 24 catchers are slotted to be drafted and I only had 13 at 300+ ABs. After I got outbid for Brian McCann ($27), I snagged Russ Martin and Geovanny Soto for a combined $40 (I valued them at a combined $60).
After the first wave of great players, the bidding got more tentative and I started spending my dollars pretty quickly. My biggest mistake was failing to realize you can't move players down to your Reserve. I survived clogging my 1B slot with a $3 Nick Johnson by snagging Cantu for my 1B/3B slot. I lucked out after stupidly clogging my SS spot with Aaron Miles (I started and ended the bidding at $1) by snagging Alex Gonzalez in the reserve draft. My early giddiness at getting Maybin for $13 might have led to risky OF bids on Colby Rasmus ($8) and Andrew McCutchen ($3). Of course these guys could earn their value (they got drafted at the same $ in NL LABR) but I exposed myself to too much risk and could've used a safer, higher AVG guy to balance off Uggla and Reynolds. I minimized some of that risk by snagging Seth Smith in COL with the first reserve pick but if these guys end up spending the 1st half either in the minors or on the bench, I'm in trouble.
As for pitching, I'm very happy with my starting staff. I would've loved to anchor the staff with a Santana, Peavy, or Webb but I got two potential aces in Volquez and Cain for the price of one of those guys. I'll be lucky to get 150 IP out of Scherzer ($11) but I like him better than Cueto and Parra (both who went for $9). I overpaid for Maine as it was later in the draft but had the money at the time. Liking my depth at SP with Randy Wolf, Phillie prospect J.A. Happ and a Petco Park pitcher in Baek. Not psyched about my relief crew of Francisco Cordero, Huston Street, and the two ugly options in STL (Franklin, McClellan) but hopefully I can get a couple points out of them.
I'll write a couple posts throughout the year with updates from this league. If I win, I get to move up to the 'pert division in 2010. I'm all a-tingle!

I'd Rather Go Blind
|"I'd Rather Go Blind"
|Single by Etta James
|from the album Tell Mama
|"Tell Mama"
|"I'd Rather Go Blind"
|1967, FAME Studios, Muscle Shoals, Alabama
|Soul, blues
|Cadet 5578
|Rick Hall
"I'd Rather Go Blind" is a blues song written by Ellington Jordan[1] and co-credited to Billy Foster and Etta James. It was first recorded by Etta James in 1967, released in 1968,[2] and has subsequently become regarded as a blues and soul classic. It was used in the end credits of Firewatch.
Original version by Etta James[edit]
Etta James wrote in her autobiography Rage To Survive that she heard the song outlined by her friend Ellington "Fugi" Jordan when she visited him in prison.[3] She then wrote the rest of the song with Jordan, but for tax reasons gave her songwriting credit to her partner at the time, Billy Foster, singer with doo-wop group The Medallions.[4]
Etta James recorded the song at the FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. It was included on the album Tell Mama and as the B-side of the single of the same name which made number 10 on the Billboard R&B charts,[5] and number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100.[6] The song is also on the 1978 Jerry Wexler-produced album Deep in the Night, but there it is titled "Blind Girl" (track 10).[7] Some critics have regarded "I'd Rather Go Blind" as of such emotional and poetic quality that it makes that release one of the great double-sided singles of the period.[8] Critic Dave Marsh put the song in his book The Heart of Rock and Soul: The 1001 Greatest Singles Ever Made. Noting that James had recorded the song during a break from heroin addiction, Marsh writes, "the song provides a great metaphor for her drug addiction and intensifies the story."[9]
Other versions[edit]
It has since been recorded by a wide variety of artists, including the blind-from-birth Clarence Carter, on his 1969 album The Dynamic Clarence Carter.[10] Other recordings include those by Little Milton, Chicken Shack, Koko Taylor, Man Man, Rod Stewart,[11] B.B. King, Elkie Brooks, Paul Weller, Trixie Whitley, Ruby Turner,[12] Marcia Ball, Sydney Youngblood,[12] Barbara Lynn and Beyoncé Knowles for the Cadillac Records film soundtrack.[13]
The song reached number 14 on the UK Singles Chart in 1969 in a version by the British blues band Chicken Shack, featuring Christine Perfect, later to become Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac.[12] After she left Chicken Shack, but before she joined Fleetwood Mac, Christine also recorded her own version of the song for her debut solo album, the eponymous Christine Perfect album.
The song was also recorded in 1972 for Never a Dull Moment, the fourth album by Rod Stewart.[11] Etta James refers to Stewart's version favorably in her autobiography, Rage to Survive.
A version of the song was America/German singer Sydney Youngblood's third single release, peaking at number 44 on the UK Singles Chart.[12] It was Youngblood's only US pop chart appearance, making it to number 46 on the Billboard Hot 100 in October 1990,[14] and the first of two minor hits on the Hot R&B Singles chart, peaking at number 42.[14]
Versions have been performed by Paolo Nutini,[15] Australian musician Toby,[16] and American folk singer Holly Miranda.
British soul singer Liam Bailey released a home-recorded version of the song with his EP 2am Rough Tracks in 2010. The EP was released on Lioness Records.
In 2011, Joe Bonamassa and Beth Hart included the song on their album Don't Explain.[17] At the 2012 Kennedy Center Honors concert honoring Buddy Guy, Beth Hart received a standing ovation for a rendition of the song accompanied by Jeff Beck on guitar.
In 2012, Mick Hucknall recorded the song for his album American Soul.[18]
The Allman Brothers performed this song live occasionally with Susan Tedeschi. Tedeschi and Allman Brothers guitarists Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes performed their version of the song at The White House's Red White and Blues event in 2012.
Paloma Faith performed the song as a duet with Ty Taylor at the BBC Proms in 2014.
Dua Lipa performed a live version of the song in 2017 for her compilation EP Live Acoustic. [19]
In 2018, Grace Potter recorded the song at FAME Studios for the tribute album Muscle Shoals...Small Town, Big Sound.[20]

Blues professionals Larry Kurtz (left) and Bruce Ley (right) backed by Scott Bruyea on the drums sang the Blues at a concert recently at Trinity United Church to help raise funds for the new front entrance to the church on Owen Sound Street in Shelburne.
"The gathering was well attended, the music was smooth, and the performers outstanding," Reverend Candice Bist reports.
Trouble and Strife – aka Larry Kurtz and Bruce Ley, "led the parade, with stellar playing from Scott Bruyea on drums and Bob Hewus on bass," says the Reverend.
"If you love the blues," says Rev. Bist, "you couldn't have asked for a better gathering."

Freelance writers, how many times have your clients asked you to interview sources for articles, blog posts, or books? By the way, you can find 'sources' at HARO or Reporter Connection. Anyway … Interviews can be conducted via phone, SKYPE, face-to-face, or through email. Remember, it's important to research the background of whomever you're interviewing in order to create a list of questions that are provocative, yet informative. Review websites, social media sites, and read any material written by your interviewee. Gathering information from these resources will help you create your list of questions.
Freelance Writers Learn to Interview like Diane and Katie in 10 Easy Steps
1. Be natural when you interview someone. If you think of an interview as having a conversation with a friend, you won't get nervous or make the interviewee nervous.
2. Ask journalistic questions: Freelance writers, you know what questions I'm talking about: Who, what, when, where, why, and how. Prepare questions ahead of time; however, if you allow the interview to unfold, you'll intuitively know what questions to ask.
3. Be professional. If a phone interview is scheduled for 2 pm EST and you live in another state or country, make sure you're familiar with time zones. It's embarrassing to have an interviewee call and ask you if you forgot about the interview.
4. Expect the unexpected. Freelance writers, if the interview gets off course, gently guide the interviewee back to the interview.
5. Phone interviews. Freelance writers, some interviewees prefer phone interviews. You may want to use a program called Audacity which is a FREE audio editor and recorder. It works great for phone interviews.
Tip: Avoid interrupting the interviewee when they're speaking. Wait for pauses and then interject and ask questions. The interview will flow better if you do this.
6. Email interviews. Some interviewees prefer email interviews and want the questions sent within the email. Others require freelance writers to submit questions in either Notepad, Word (.docx, .doc, .rtf), or some other program. Always ask.
7. Face-to-face interviews. This provides you the opportunity to see your client and their facial expressions. Bring a recorder, notebook, and pen. You may want to bring an extra recorder and batteries to ensure the interview is recorded — sometimes technology malfunctions. Make notes as you conduct the interview because they could prompt you to ask additional questions and write down key points.
8. Listen. Learn when to interject with questions by listening to definitive pauses.
9. Forget about a set time limit. Avoid using a time limit unless your interviewee is under a time constraint. Interviews are anywhere from 15 minutes to one hour. But if the interview is flowing ask the interviewee if they'd like to keep going.
10. Transcripts. Freelance writers, how fast do you type? Some interviewees will ask for a transcript of the interview. You can transcribe the interview yourself, use a transcription service, or hire a local transcriber. It's up to you.
Tip: Freelance writers, remember that an interview may be posted on the interviewee's website. Ask interesting questions that will engage the interviewee and readers. Boring questions are the fastest way to dash your hopes of a poignant interview. Ask open-ended questions that you can build upon if necessary. Stay away from questions that require a "yes or no" response because they don't add anything to an interview.
Freelance writers have fun with interviews. Make sure an interviewee is relaxed because it will make the interviewing process easier. Be prepared for the interview with a list of questions, but don't be afraid to ask questions that you think of as the interview progresses. This will show that you're paying attention to what your interviewee is saying and guarantee you another interview. Good luck!

DESIGN & PRODUCTIONNational Poster Retrospecticus Tour BookIn the Spring of 2013 I set out on what would be one of the greatest adventures of my life. It was through The National Poster Retrospecticus tour that I was able to combine my design skills, show planning background, love for community based events and enthusiasm for travel and posters into one amazing experience. I was also fortunate enough to meet some of the most genuine and kindest people while on the road — most of whom shared the same enthusiasm for posters. This enthusiasm felt like fuel that helped keep us going as we made those eleven hour drives through crazy weather and deserted stretches of highway, hang 300 posters and host a packed show for one-night-only in each city.
DOCUMENTING OUR ADVENTURESOver its 30 pages this book documents the shows origins, each stop on our three-week-long tour across the country and covers some of our process as well. While originally intended as a thank you for a number of folks who lent a hand with the tour, there has been a surprising amount of interest in picking up a personal copy of the book. If you're one of those people please get in touch — I'd be happy to put in a special order for ya at cost!

It's that time of year again! Last night was the seventh time I've attended the annual Western Showcase Stir up event, a sneak peak at all the artists work in the BMO centre down on the grounds. This is also the seventh time I've had my work displayed at the Stampede, I also found out last year that I've been one of the top sellers for the last few years which is pretty cool!
This year I have three images on display and for sale, two that have been previously entered and displayed, and a new one I took just last year.
The first is one is my all time best selling image, it's been a crowd favorite for quite some time and continues to sell really well:
Titled 'Path to Glory' this image draws viewers down a seemingly endless set of train tracks, for those who grew up in the developing stages of Alberta, this view was a staple, but as of recently it now comes through few and far between.
The next image is a favorite amongst friends and family, I'm pretty sure I know at least 5 people who have this displayed at their home somewhere.
This image is titled 'Endless' and was taken on a beautiful drive through Kananaskis, capturing some morning fog and beautiful Alberta forests.
This image was a welcomed surprise on many fronts. First off I was out doing shots for a real estate friend of mine, on the way back home, a nasty storm developed, so I hit some back roads and was lucky to capture this shot. But this is the kind of environment I live for in a photography setting, it's so exciting and dynamic, the clouds, thunder, rain, providing such beauty and sights. I hadn't actually seen this image printed prior to last nights showing at the 2014 Calgary Stampede, walking in and seeing it displayed was pretty rad, the colours were so vivid and displayed so well, I'm really excited and think it'll sell really well.
If you're heading down to the Calgary Stampede this year, be sure to check out all the talented artists in the BMO Center, there's a wealth of amazing western themed art on display and for sale!

This is really weird - I am older than my mother ever was. Technically, I'm six moths older than she was when she died - As of Saturday, I'll be an age (nope, I'm not telling) that she never was. As can be attested to by the other members of my motherloss group, that's some big deal.
One of the weird things about getting to be this age is my skin. Okay, I know there's more fat under the skin now - thanks to the back problems that made me stop belly-dancing over a year ago. But the skin itself is - different. Softer, but not in a good way....it's hard to explain. But easy to hate.
I wish I had 24 year old skin back. I was pretty modest as 24 year olds go. Now I kind of wish I'd gone around in a bikini the whole year - just to show off that skin. I could even have gone skinny-dipping. Yeah, skinny-dipping. I really would have loved that. Except the part about being naked, of course. In front of other people.
Anyway, I'm back in the gym. Trying to get control of this body before it goes too far south. And I love it. I love the way people say hi. I love the way I feel when I've lifted more weights than I thought possible (thanks to Jerry). I love the way the shower feels on my not 24 year old skin after a really hard workout. I love that my kids love going there, so I don't have to feel guilty about going there.
But there are some things I. don't. love.
1. People who don't wipe down the machines after they work out. "But I don't sweat." Yeah, right. I don't care about that anyway. Well, unless they've dripped all over everything, and then that's just gross. But there are still germs! So I end up wiping the cardio equipment off first (I'd do every machine, but they'd think I was a whack-job). I mean what if the person who was on the elliptical didn't wash their hands and then got on the machine and put their germy little hands all over it? I'm not a fanatic about germs normally, but the gym just seems to be such a breeding ground.
2. People who talk on their cell phone while working out. Loudly. If a call is that important, and it could be, just take it away from the exercise floor. I find it highly uncomfortable to hear the juicy details about someone's romantic escapades when I don't even know them, but it seems that lots of people aren't shy about sharing the intimates. Yes, that's you - the girl that always wears yellow. Just stop it.
3. Heavy lifters who don't re-rack their weights. Enough said.
4. Women in the dressing room who take up the bench, 2 stools, and half the floor space just to get dressed.
5. And here's the big one. The one that made me start thinking about this whole issue - don't touch the equipment someone else is working out on! For any reason. Even if you think you're trying to be helpful.
Tonight I was on one of the treadmills that has a built-in TV. I was watching the Food Network. But I also had the little matrix going that shows the graph of what I've been doing....I'm working on intervals, and it helps me keep track. This woman, who I've never seen before, walks up and says, "Let me show you something," and clicks my matrix off! The nerve! I know she probably thought she was being helpful, but not only was she so NOT helpful, she scared the snot out of me when she came up like that.
So, lady - if you're reading this: Back off. I mean it. But if you want to compliment me on my skin, go right ahead.

Roguelikes and Roleplaying Games
Let's say, hypothetically speaking, that I obsessively check my website traffic statistics. Hypothetically. And every so often, when I happen across a search string that led someone to my website, I Google the string myself, to see about how high in the results my website appears. For purely academic reasons.
There's actually a significant advantage to doing this. It gives me an idea of how and why people wind up on my website, and more often than not, leads me to some other interesting websites, which I can then blog about, further climbing in the results rankings in not only literally answering a search, but also in linking to other websites.
So, this morning I Googled "roguelike table top," and found to my delight that my blog ranked pretty high, all things considered, probably thanks to my entry from earlier this month, "Roguelike for the Tabletop." (Yes, I am a self-referential jerk, thank you.)
I clicked through to a couple of the other search results that interested me, and found one article on a blog called "Sword & Shield" that referenced yet another article about some rules for Roguelike gameplay design. There wasn't a direct link to the original article however, so I had to go back to Google and look for it myself. *sigh*
The original article is called "The Eight Rules of Roguelike Design," and is part of a monthly column by John Harris, which can be found at "GameSetWatch."
The Sword & Shield article suggested that Roguelike design concepts can be applied to tabletop roleplaying games, but it didn't really go into depth as to how, and after reading over both articles, I can't really be sure that these specific design concepts can really be applied. Seriously, they're about magic item identification.
Well, mostly about magic item identification.
I want to say is, "yes, I agree," tabletop roleplaying games can learn from Roguelikes, but it's going to take a little bit more than just saying it to make it a reality. I mean, you can say you were the first one to say it, but that won't get you very far. First of all, it helps that many early Roguelikes were based on Dungeons & Dragons.
This means they don't have very far to go in order to make good cross-comparisons, and a lot of ideas that exist in one can easily be translated over to the other. After all, the game master is, like, the ur-example of "The Dev Team Thinks of Everything."
So, what concepts to adapt? Well, magic identification is important, I guess. But the one point from the list I think is the best (and should be the highest priority) for bringing over into tabletop roleplaying games, is anti-grind mechanics. They've gotten in the way before, but I think they can be made less obstructive and more fun.
And that's one of the reasons why we game.

(February 15, 1892 – May 22, 1949)
Former Secretary of Defense James Vincent Forrestal died on May 22, 1949, after falling from the 13th floor of the U.S. Naval Hospital at Bethesda, Md. Forrestal's broken, bloodied body was found clad in pajamas and a bathrobe. The cord of the robe was wound tightly around his neck. He had been hospitalized due to "operational fatigue" attributed to "excessive work."
Forrestal's death was ruled a suicide, but the matter for many people, including members of Forrestal's family, remained far from resolved. Forrestal's brother, Henry, told reporters at the time of the death that he "believed that someone threw my brother out the window" and that he considered it quite strange that his brother died "just a few hours before I was to take him home." Additionally, James Forrestal's spiritual adviser, Monsignor Maurice Sheehy, told reporters that an unidentified Navy warrant officer at the hospital told him that Forrestal "didn't kill himself."

My son, Lukas, and I have super sensitive skin. My Dermatologist said that we lack a certain skin barrier that protects our skin and so we have to moisturize a lot as our skin tends to be dry, itchy, and in harsh, cold weather, may sometimes be flaky. On the bright side, having dry skin means I very seldom have pimples. My facial skin is clear, which was a big advantage when I hit puberty. It is hereditary so I guess, we can say are "born this way."
When Lukas was born, he also has dry, sensitive skin so I had to be extra careful not to use harsh chemicals on his super delicate skin. As a result, I am always on the look out for natural, high quality, organic cleansing products that does not only cleanse but is extra good and loving to the skin and smells good too!
I am a frequent customer of Healthy Options in Megamall and Shangri la. But it wasn't until my son had a rash and my dermatologist recommended Nature's Gate Baby Shampoo and Wash, that I realized it is available there. I also use Nature's gate shampoo, conditioner and lotion as well, so it felt great when I realized there exists a good shampoo which we can use for Lukas' delicate hair and sensitive skin.
- Sulfate / Paraben/ Sodium Laureth/ Phthalate FREE – no harsh chemical ingredients here!
- Contains botanicals – Calendula, Chamomile, Orange Flower, Sweet Almond oil, Vegetable glycerin, Jojoba oil and Kernel oil
- Smells sooooo good and clean
- Perfect not just for babies but for my delicate skin too!!
What is amazing is that 1 heavy bottle (532 ml / 18 Fl Oz) costs less than P250.00!
I had an rash on my cheek which wouldn't go away and the recommended cream by my dermatologist did not do a good job. I thought of using the baby was as a cleanser for my face and guess what? The rash and itchiness went away! Now, I use super mild cleansers but sometimes, even the mildest soap or formula that we use have chemicals in them which is not good for us.
I hope moms out there trying to find a good product for their and their baby's delicate, sensitive skin would know about this. Feel free to share. 🙂
Be healthy and use organic.
Cheers and Love,
Mommy Shane

Michael Sloary-
the walking Bauxite
of Surinamese land
his words the pure
gold from the golden
womb of the earth.
Pure as Bauxite and gold
the nomadic Michael Sloary
his head drinks in the
gold wine of the tropical sun.
He rests not
under the shade of
the trees burning
in ancient sun
words drive him on
Sloary is a companion
of words.
With the echo of bird-song
he creates words for
his poems that sometimes
speak of the shriek within
sometimes of the joy
of the heart
like a miner he mines
the mind of the peoples
of the sub continent.
Week in and
week out the Dutch
weekly carries
the living document
of his mind's eye.
Walking the land
Michael connects his
dust with the
sabana dirt of Suriname.
Shooting the roots of
insight into the earth
he wants to grow
the tree of Surinamese life.
He hears the call of
the blank part of the
empty promotional box
his hand writes
the language of peoples' heart
he has words for the gurrachbi
as he has a tale to tell
in the newspaper
words fresh and new
like the sunshine
or a new-dug mine.

Thought Bubbles
Kim and Murrow are both sick. It is Murrow's first cold, and they got sick on the same day and they're going through the exact same symptoms.
What's silly is that Murrow's nose bubbles (cute & gross) have reminded both of us that we used to call him Bubble Mouth … but neither of us can remember the exact context for that name? Did he make one big bubble with his mouth, or lots of tiny ones?

"The highest function of education is to bring about an integrated individual who is capable of dealing with life as a whole." Krishnamurti
"Only the development of his inner powers can offset the dangers inherent in man's losing control of the tremendous natural forces at his disposal and becoming the victim of his own achievements." Roberto Assagioli
"I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built up on the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think." Anne Sullivan
Druids were educators. They had schools that taught many things; history, genealogy, stories, laws, lore and other things. They were living breathing archives that could be called upon by tribal chiefs and kings, or the common people of the tribes. They must have had complex mnemonic systems to catalogue everything into their memory, since their tradition was an oral one and it was forbidden to write anything down. One such system is their alphabet, the Ogham, that was used to list things and their attributes. The most well known is the tree alphabet, but there was plenty of others for birds, animals, herbs etc. This system, or one like it, must have been used to remember extensive information.
Druids today don't have to be living breathing archives, we have books and computers for that sort of thing, and it is not forbidden to write anything down. A shame in some ways, as writing things down (like I am now) has the tendency to abstract information, removing it from living experience. And we can see that in the book-based education of today, it emphasises a lot on intellectual knowledge; what to think than on how to think. I don't say that we should ban books (I love them too much!) but that they are not the be all and end all of education, and that education should be directed towards living experience. For me, a Druid education is an integrated one, based on developing a holistic intelligence, not just an intellectual one. And also it is about self-development and discovery and not for a student to conform their knowledge to a school's syllabus. Another thing to remember is that education doesn't just take place in a classroom, all aspects of our life educate us in different ways; from the media we get our information from, the books we read, the films we watch, the toys we have as children, the relationships we're involved with, the careers we choose. All of these things are symbols of the educational and psychological structure we build up inside us.
Holistic intelligence I think of as something that includes many aspects of the human being. As I said, intelligence is measured mainly by intellect, as the so-called "Intelligence Quotient" or IQ reflects. It's tests are all about how well the intellectual, thinking side, of humans work. The "I" of IQ is more appropriately seen as Intellect because intelligence can also be seen as emotional intelligence, physical intelligence, social intelligence, ethical intelligence and spiritual intelligence. We could also talk about creative or imaginative intelligence as Druids were also the artists, poets and musicians of their peoples, and also health intelligence, since Druids could also specialise in healing, as doctors of their time. But knowing how to be healthy and stay healthy is a fairly basic skill for all people, not just something for professionals. Education should be about the development of the whole human being, not just the intellect. In the same way that we should have a "healthy and balanced diet" to stay physically healthy, we should also have a healthy and balanced education, in order to develop a healthy intelligence, a holistic intelligence.

Hello all,
Wanted to fill you in on some more of my goings on, so here's what I've been up to!
Following on from my trip to Venice, I forgot to mention I bumped in to Michael McIntyre at the airport and we had a lovely catch up, he never fails to have me in stitches. I then arrived at home to find the most amazing plate of cupcakes all homemade by Abi – although I did limit myself to just the one! They were beautifully placed around a stunning display of flowers, it was such a joy to come home to.
So who watched the first live show of So You Think You Can Dance and what did you think? Thank you all for the lovely twitter comments about my new hair style – I'll let you into a secret though it was the lights that made it look red I hadn't actually dyed it! The style was all down to my amazing hairdresser Mitch, and of course my makeup was by Alana as always.
The next morning I was up bright and early to film Something for the Weekend with the lovely Louise, we were both feeling pretty exhausted so it was double espresso's all the way! We always have such a great time together talking about everything from clothes to being mothers and our families, even though we are a completely different generation. I'm looking forward to spending the next few weeks at the BBC together. We're always in each other's dressing rooms gossiping away, it's amazing we actually make it on set in time!
I managed to catch up with a couple of old friends this week, Emma Hendry and Michael Frayley, both whom were involved in Starlight Express with me from way back in the 80's, and I was thrilled we had the opportunity to catch up as Emma lives in Australia and Michael in Las Vegas, and it's amazing we have all managed to keep in touch over the years. It was tea and cakes at my house, and I realised that's two lots of cake for me this week, but what else is as fun to catch up with friends over?
I popped in to see the Wizard of Oz on Tuesday just to see how everyone is getting on, and I was so pleased the show is looking stronger than ever – so if you haven't seen it yet make sure you do!
This week I've also been in lot's of meetings for various projects, and I've got a big shoot on Thurs although I can't tell you what yet as it's still a secret… although I promise you're going to love it.
Finally after much coaching from my daughters I've learnt how to use my Facebook, so have a look and tell me what you think of my page! It's another way for me to keep in touch with you and put up pictures and little updates, so please send me messages of things you'd like to know or any questions you have and I'll try and answer as many as I can. Here's the link http://bit.ly/fqtFJl
Sorry it's only a short blog this week, but I've got so much more coming up I know there's going to be plenty to tell you when I can reveal a bit more about my mystery meetings…
Until then, Happy Bank Holidays!
Love A x

Nike's trainers and coaches have helped Microsoft Game Studios develop a Kinect fitness game that will tap into the athletic-equipment company's huge stable of workout products.
Regular fitness nuts may already be familiar with Nike+, a smartphone app that tracks running and other exercises. Nike+ Kinect Training will bring that concept to the Xbox's motion-control peripheral. The gameplay looks about the same as any number of others in the genre. If you've played Your Shape: Fitness or The Biggest Loser, then you should know what to expect.
The sneaker company hopes to set its game apart by tying it to its already established lineup of workout products. This Kinect title will be fully integrated with the smartphone app, the Nike Fuelband (a watch-like monitoring device), and Nike Fuel (a Nike-developed universal unit of measurement).
Vice president of digital sport Stefan Olander said that the game will release this holiday season.

broken heart, Canada, cancer, dying, epiphany, faith, letting go, life, live, Love, Note To Self, pain, positive, positive vibes, Sorry, time, unspoken, words
This year I have learned a couple of which in my opinion are the most valuable things in life…
"It's easier to be smart than kind." When I found out that my eldest sister must undergo another surgery, I was resolute not to help her financially. I was even forcing our parents to leave her alone, so she'd learn to be independent from us, and so she could finally sort her life out. but had I known that it would be her last surgery; that she'd be diagnosed with a progressive cancer; that she only has few precious months to live; I would have viewed her situation in a different light. I would have given her all the support that she needed. I would have been more patient. I would have been the sister that she hoped I was. I would have been kind. if I could only turn back the hands of time, I'd replace the harsh words with love and kindness.
"Don't do something that you don't like." I was an emotional supermarket when I came back from my bereavement leave. I was hoping to bury myself with work just to forget all my regrets and grief, so I am not ready for change that time. But I came back and found another huge project to add on my plate. It was difficult for me to chew. I hate what I am doing. I found myself dragging myself to work to do stuff that no longer interest me. The change was overwhelming and stressful for me. One day I had an epiphany, I am too old to do things that I don't like doing. I was considering my options. Should I resign? Every single day I try to convince myself that the situation will soon pass. And as though the stars aligned, I got an offer to work on another engineering firm. So, I left, and I got my peace back. Life is too short to be anything but happy.
"Always see the good in everything." I'm single (literally and figuratively), I live alone, I travel out of the country almost five times in a year, and I still look young. I probably have ticked all the checkboxes for a potential Asian spy that every time I go out of the country I always got "randomly" selected for a more stringent security check. So, it didn't come as a surprise when I got (again) "randomly" selected for a "QC" when I applied for my citizenship. I had to submit 5-inch thick of documents showing my footprint in Canada. Along with that, I had to deal with the chaos of purchasing a new property earlier in the year as well. Re-asses my financial security. Deal with another broken heart. See my sister suffer and grieve for her death. Be stressed with overwhelming work. And later move to another company. All these happened in the span of 10 months. I probably had a melt-down if I had so little fate. Every single day that I wake up, I look at how blessed I am; I am grateful despite my suffering.
"Carpe diem." We're still a few weeks away to a brand-new year. As much as I hope it to be as peaceful and happy as it can be, anything could happen in those remaining days. I wouldn't label my 2018 as painful, rather it's a strengthening phase. A cycle I had to go through to learn the most valuable lesson; seize the moment. The last time I talked to my sister, she was crying, and I can feel her pain. She was begging me to come home, but I was waiting for citizenship then. I was selfish and told her to wait for me and we would spend the Christmas together. I didn't expect that it would be the last time I get to talk to her. Her final words resounding in my ears; to take care of her only daughter. I told her not to worry about it. She died hours after we talked. Although I know for a fact that to myself, I only make the best decisions, I also know that I could have done better. I could have seized the moment, fly home, hug her, comfort her and tell her I'm sorry. This is the possibility to live into; that it really makes a difference what we do or say. So never say or do anything that couldn't stand as the last thing you ever say or do. Seize the moment and be the best person that you can ever be.

Nestlé's corporate offices released a statement in response to the reports. The company expressed confidence "... that none of its products in China is made from milk adulterated with melamine." The press release goes on to say that the lowest concentration of melamine that can be detected by common lab tests is 2 ppm, and that, based on a 2 ppm level, "... a three-year old child would have to consume over 40 litres of milk every day to exceed ... safety limits."
The safety limits referred to in the Nestlé statement are so-called "tolerable daily intake" levels of 0.5 mg of melamine per Kg body weight/day in the EU, and 0.63 mg/Kg in the US. Does the arithmetic make sense?
- 2 ppm represents 2 mg of melamine per liter or kilogram of milk
- 40 liters of milk x 2 mg represents a total of 80 mg of melamine
- at a "tolerable daily intake" of 0.63 mg/Kg, a person would need to weigh 80 ÷ 0.63, or 127 Kg to tolerate 80 mg of melamine per day
Swiss 3-year old children might weigh 127 Kg (unlikely though it seems), but it's highly doubtful that Chinese children way one-tenth as much. In fact, even if one assumes that a 3-year old child weighs 15 Kg, the "tolerable daily intake" would be 15 x 0.63, or 9.45 mg of melamine. At 2 ppm, this still represents more than 4.7 liters of milk, but it's a far cry from the 40 liters claimed in the Nestlé statement. Younger children weigh less, of course, and would have a lower tolerance.
In any event, Nestlé's argument is specious. There is no excuse for melamine in milk. Instead of trying to minimize the problem, Nestlé should get busy checking on its Chinese operations. It will do this multinational company no good to be associated with China's adulterated milk scandal.

Police in the US state of North Dakota have clamped down on a fresh round of protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline, days after President Donald Trump's directive to resume the project's construction.
On Wednesday, police arrested at least 76 of the protesters who had gathered near a construction site.
The protests broke out after North Dakota lawmakers Senator John Hoeven and Representative Kevin Cramer said work will continue on the stalled pipeline, despite concerns by Native American tribes and environmental activists about its implications.
Acting Secretary of the Army Robert Speer "has directed the Army Corps of Engineers to proceed with the easement needed to complete the Dakota Access Pipeline," said Hoeven.
Cramer, meanwhile, noted that congressional notification of the decision was "imminent."
Last week, Trump signed an executive order to continue the pipeline, after the project was brought to a halt upon an order from his predecessor President Barack Obama.
The Obama administration halted the project to prevent growing tensions over a court ruling in favor of Energy Transfer, the company behind DAPL.
Led by the Standing Rock Sioux, more than 100 Native American tribes have warned that the four-state pipeline would destroy their sacred sites and contaminate their water resources.
Trump, however, argued that the project should continue so that thousands of workers could get back to work.
Standing Rock denies ties to 'rogue' protesters
The Standing Rock Sioux released a statement following the Wednesday encounter between police and protesters, saying although the two lawmakers' comments were premature, they tribe had no links to the "rogue" protesters.
The tribe has vowed to "vigorously pursue legal action" if the Trump administration cuts off the environmental review for the project.
"To abandon the (environmental impact statement) would amount to a wholly unexplained and arbitrary change based on the President's personal views and, potentially, personal investments," the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe said Tuesday.

Grass Grow Through Matting
Grass grow through matting provides a cost effective solution to protecting your grass from heavy foot traffic. It offers a safe, non-slip surface for play equipment and is ideal for playgrounds, children's play areas, play frames and walking trails.
Made from recycled rubber, the mat is marked by closely-set holes. The grass grow through matting is then pegged to the ground, allowing the grass to grow through the holes.
Grass grow through matting is ideal for use on golf courses, especially where there are slopes, or on public pathways where gradients are steep. The effect of grass grow through matting is such that the grass is still visible, but the matting is still there as a precautionary measure to increase safety and reduce the risk of slipping.
Just some of its advantages include:
- It preserves grass and prevents wear
- It is environmentally sound
- It is wheelchair and pushchair accessible
- It is made from 100% recycled, durable and safe rubber
- It absorbs shock and noise
At The Rubber Company we supply the RubbaGrass Rubber Safety Mat for use in your chosen application. We look to meet needs and meet requirements.
