Here's a quick gathering of recent news in the Careers field.
Firstly (unsurprisingly, in the year fees have rocketed up) the number of applicants to UCAS has fallen noticeably. Don't get too excited – it's not fallen by the amount youth unemployment has risen, and a degree's not a meal ticket any more. Unsurprisingly, given that getting a degree will now cost you a quarter of the value of a house in some parts of the UK, students will increasingly see themselves as customers – which explains why Which has decided to starting rating and ranking uni courses in the UK.
However, note the rise of temporary / agency work. More and more jobs and companies are taking workers on only through agencies. This rather nasty trick is to ensure they don't need to give them normal employment rights. Even when the EU has passed a law to give most normal employment rights to temporary workers, it turns out big companies like Tesco are asking their staff to waive their new rights – the implicit threat being no waive = no job. Don't end up in agency work if you can avoid it. It's slavery by another name.
At the other end of the scale, you might like to look at the Telegraph's top ten best-paid jobs in the UK. It's a bit of a nonsense because (a) it massively underestimates some at the top of the list, (b) it ignores self-employed in some of these fields, who tend to earn more, (c) it's all about being "top" of the organisations they name which, whilst nice, is not a realistic aim generally – you should expect more to be a successful middle-ranker and check those typical salaries.
Lastly and definitely not leastly, it turns out that people like me are not totally useless after all – while there is an ongoing rise in online or telephone careers advice, it seems some people are missing the personal touch of a Careers advisor in their own school. Don't forget to book a meeting to come and talk to me about your future if you like. You might like to tell the Guardian about what you think of careers advice.

Yann Eber, epicurean, gourmet, loves good things, life ...
I define myself as an autodidact with nevertheless a solid base. I did my schooling at the Lycée Hôtelier in Strasbourg / Illkirch (now Alexandre Dumas) followed by a business school in Colmar.
Rocker at heart at 17, I was lucky to spend a few days in London at my friend Richard Bellia (Stars photographer), which triggered in me this thirst for new experiences and work perfectly executed.
Many internships have completed my training, La Cheneaudière in the time of Jean Paul Bossée, Jean Luc Soisson (former chef starred) several times in my kitchen, Nicolas Rollet in Pastry and Chocolate, Thierry Delabre (Panadero Clandestino) in Bakery and baking natural leaven without forgetting my friend Clément Fleck.
I also know the profession of breeder / cheesemaker that I have spent several years with my parents, especially in the manufacture of goat cheeses and their marketing.
In the year 2000, with Cynthia, my wife, we bought the family restaurant that we are constantly evolving with notably obtaining the title of Maître Restaurateur in 2012

Because I have watched MSNBC's Morning Joe for so long now, I guess I have become sort of use to what has been happening. The show has, after all, become a platform for defending, advising, and promoting Drumpf, who is friends with or acquaintances of most of the regulars on the show. They just can't bring themselves to admit the obvious about him.
Today was no different. Morning Joe's opening segment at 7:00 am CST was all about that New York Times article ("Crossing the Line: How Donald Trump Behaved With Women in Private") published over the weekend that documented some of Drumpf's boorish encounters with women, claims of sexual harassment, as well as a few of the good things he has done in promoting women in his business. Morning Joe, though, was all about attacking the Times rather than criticizing Drumpf's behavior. Panelist Donny Deutsch, who has admitted to being a Friend of Drumpf, even gave him a hint this morning on how to proceed: hit the whole Jeffrey Epstein-Bill Clinton thang. It really was an embarrassment for MSNBC, although it won't stop. Drumpf = ratings. And insulting Drumpf = boycott. Thus.
I just wanted to remind you of something critically important that may, now, get lost because one of the women in the Times report said her story was misused by the newspaper and that she "did not have a negative experience" with Drumpf. What may get lost has nothing to do with that Times article. Anyone paying attention knows that Drumpf's problems with women have much more to do with what he has said since he has been a candidate than any revelation that he once had the hots for a model, whom he outfitted in a bikini so he could show off her assets to a group of Drumpf groupies at a Mar-a-Lago pool party, the same model who now says she was flattered by the whole episode.
So, before it gets lost in the storm of nonsense and ugliness that is the Drumpf campaign, before it gets lost in the ADHD-like television coverage of that nonsense and ugliness, let's look at a weird story, published in The Washington Post on May 13, "Donald Trump masqueraded as publicist to brag about himself." I know by now you know most of the details—Drumpf posing as publicists "John Miller" and "John Barron"—so I won't go into them. Suffice it to say that the story, if it weren't about Drumpf, would, like so many other things he has said and done, doom anyone else. It would disgrace any other presidential candidate, who would slink away with a shame-hung head. But this is Drumpf. His answer to it? Lie. He didn't do it. The voice that everyone knows was his, on those phone calls to reporters, wasn't his, he says. And his groupies, both professionals and amateurs, are behind him. If he says it wasn't him, it wasn't. Move on. No biggie. There are more important things to talk about.
Surprisingly, the journalists I have seen covering this issue on television, and those paid to be "analysts," have it all wrong. They are focusing on the lie Drumpf told. They want him to come clean about that. Their coverage goes something like this: "If only Drumpf would simply admit he was 'John Miller' or 'John Barron' and confess to doing something dumb, a joke really, this would all go away and we'd move on to something else." I heard CNN's Chris Cuomo say something like that the other day.
Well, no. That isn't the point.
We all know Drumpf is a liar. That has been established beyond doubt, just as it has been established beyond doubt that he was John Miller and John Barron (he has actually admitted as much before). So, any revelation that he is currently lying about the fact he was pretending to be his own publicist would not be surprising. It would just be an addition to what we already knew. What we don't know is what it is that makes a prominent man do something so clumsy and crass. What is it in his brain that makes him want to do it in the first place, but then—most important to me—what makes him think no one would catch him doing it? That's what has been lost in all this. There is, truly, something wrong with his mind, with his thought process, with his ability to understand what is going on in other minds.
I've said before that since I'm not a medical doctor, I can't diagnose Drumpf's problems—although others have done so. We can all see that he acts and talks like a narcissist. We can see that he lies, when telling the truth would be a much easier path to follow. His lying appears to be pathological. We can all see that Tiny Hands is insecure, which also appears to be some kind of disease. All that is troubling enough. But think about it. This man called reporters, reporters who knew his voice, pretending to be someone else. Why couldn't he figure out in advance that those reporters would know it was his voice? That he would be asked about it? That he would be asked to produce John Miller and John Barron at some point, since they allegedly worked for him? Huh? And why can't he see that now?
Disturbing stuff. And it isn't just limited to gossip magazines or tabloids. It has real-world implications. Consider Drumpf's embrace of Vladimir Putin. In that sorry case, did some kind of pathological disorder get the best of Drumpf? Remember that Putin, a murderous authoriatarian, said the GOP candidate was "a very bright and talented man," and an "absolute leader." Rather than responding as any normal American would do, that is, by rejecting the endorsement of a trained and practiced Russian killer, Drump said,
When people call you brilliant, it's always good, especially when the person heads up Russia.
"It's always good." Always. If Charles Manson calls you brilliant from his prison cell, that's good. If Kim Jong-un takes time out of his busy day in North Korea and calls you brilliant, that's good, too. For a Drumpfed-up mind, there are no conditions under which receiving flattery is a negative.
When confronted with the charge that Putin has either ordered the killing of journalists in Russia or created a climate in which they could be essentially killed with impunity, Drumpf has responded in different ways. Once he said, "Well, I think our country does plenty of killing, too…" Another time,
Nobody has proven that he's killed anyone. … He's always denied it. It's never been proven that he's killed anybody. You're supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, at least in our country. It has not been proven that he's killed reporters.
Now, that comes from a man who, with exactly no evidence to back him up, has questioned Barack Obama's citizenship and Christianity, who says he sent investigators, perhaps John Miller and John Barron, to Hawaii and "they cannot believe what they're finding." It comes from a man who, just last year as a presidential candidate, said of President Obama, "I don't know if he loves America." Who said, "I wonder if President Obama would have attended the funeral of Justice Scalia if it were held in a Mosque?"
Giving the benefit of the doubt to a horrific Russian despot who strategically strokes your ego, while trashing the credibility of your own president, is a symptom of some profound personal problem, as far as I'm concerned as an American. It demonstrates that Drumpf's awareness of himself, that his perception of others, is twisted. It proves that he is unfit to be our commander-in-chief because his judgment about what may be happening in the minds of other people, whether they are reporters or world leaders, is so utterly and hopelessly flawed.
Drumpf's petty attempt to pass himself off as publicists John Miller and John Barron—and expect that he could get away with it—just adds to the case that he is a very disturbed man. But it is also disturbing that much of the press, at least on television, isn't that interested in the original disqualifying behavior, but only in getting Drumpf to admit to it so cable news can move on to the next act in this gloomy Gong Show. Perhaps the only thing that can save us all is if Drumpf comes out soon and lets us in on his little joke. And The Washington Post can write a new article, "Donald Trump masqueraded as presidential candidate to brag about himself."

ServicesDrivers License Suspensions
Many Pennsylvania drivers do not know that you have certain rights if your license is suspended. You may not be aware that in Pennsylvania you have the right to apply for a limited "work" license called either an Occupational License, OLL for short, or a Probationary License, called PL for short or the NEW Ignition Interlock Limited License for anyone facing DUI suspension. These limited license types allow you to remain working and continue to earn a living or further your education by continuing to attend school or taking care of medical issues. So, under some conditions, you may be eligible to drive legally, with a limited license, even though you have a driver's license suspension.
Extensive Driving Records
The Suspension Snowball effect often leads to increased sanctions and issues that compound with time. We've developed multiple action plans to unravel an extensive driving record and fight to get your license clear. You also may have the right to appeal convictions that resulted in driver's license suspension, even if the convictions occurred many years ago. Those late appeals are called Nunc Pro Tunc appeals, and in the right situation can help to remove years of suspension time from your driving record.
Our record review can result in finding errors that may have added years of suspension, and our team can fix these to remove the suspension time. Even a small mistake on your driving record can add many years of un-necessary suspension to your license.
Administrative Hearings
Pennsylvania drivers with a license suspension may also have their records reviewed and corrected by the Department of Transportation through Administrative Hearings . The administrative hearing is tricky with particular guidelines that can result in the restoration of your driving privilege when done properly. Our team has years of experience handling these matters, and we know what it takes to win your Administrative Hearing.
Non-Pennsylvania Residents
Some out-of-state drivers are discovering that your home state drivers licenses are being suspended or recalled because of suspensions or old tickets in Pennsylvania. There could be NDR (National Driver Registry) notations of suspension for those out-of-state violations. Getting these suspension holds removed from your record to allow your out-of-state driver's license to be restored in your home state is complex because your home state will need to retrieve the clearance notice from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
- Several recent clients we have helped encountered some issues out of state. For example, a former Pennsylvania resident now living in Virginia could not secure a Virginia license because his Pennsylvania driving privileges were suspended as a result of convictions for traffic violations from years earlier. We were able to have this client's suspensions overturned and record corrected. His Pennsylvania privileges were restored, and he was able to secure a Virginia license, all done without him having to leave Virginia and coming to Pennsylvania.
Senior Drivers
Some senior (and not so senior) citizens are being notified that their operating privileges are being recalled because of medical conditions or concerns reported by doctors throughout the state. If you are a Pennsylvania resident, and you were notified of a recall because of a doctors report, you too have the right to appeal these decisions to fight an improper sanction. The team at License restoration Services will review your situation and guide you through the best course to get driving again safely.
Why License Restoration Services
We understand in Pennsylvania that being required by employment, family, and life to continue driving, even if your license is suspended by PennDOT is crucial. Our team knows you have to drive for work to support your family and have no other choice but to continue driving. Through many processes like petitions, hearings, back credit, and record corrections, to name a few..we are able to have suspensions removed or reduced, thus enabling suspended clients to secure a work license or a full license so they can drive legally again.
Our team at License Restoration Services is explicitly trained to handle all types of driver's license issues and only license issues. We specialize in helping drivers with all the above suspension issues and much more. Our track record is second to none in handling all matters related to your license suspension.
You need to Contact License Restoration Services if you find yourself in this situation with a license suspension or other PA driver's license related problem.

Gucci Gucci two times, say it two times! Gucci Mane, Gucci Mane La Flare, Big Guwop, Mr. Zone 6, Trap God. You could hear "Brr!" being screamed from excited fans eager to head into the Electric Factory to catch the much anticipated Gucci Mane 'Trap Lord' tour on April 25th.
After catching Gucci's set at Coachella the weekend before, I was extremely excited to see a true Brick Squad family affair. Gucci being released from prison in May of 2016 has had trap fans eager for a tour of this caliber which also includes Playboi Carti and Dreezy. Following the releases of three solo projects (Everybody Looking, Woptober, and The Return of East Atlanta Santa) Gucci released single 'Drop Top Wizop Freestyle' to prepare for the release of his eleventh studio album.
Chicago singer/rapper Dreezy hit the stage and showcased for the Philly crowd why she's a rising star to watch in the industry. She dropped several of her better known singles like 'Body' and 'We Gon Ride', getting the crowd thoroughly hyped up.
As I keep up with Playboi Carti, who also hails from Atlanta, I was eager to watch him perform some of the songs I had been jamming out to for weeks. In a typical turn up fashion, Playboi Carti only preformed for a short period of time before exiting the stage. Although we didn't get an extended set, what he did drop got the entire Electric Factory crowd using their trap-arms for good.
Those in attendance felt free to get down and dirty to the trap legend. Guwop, performed staples like 'Lemonade', 'My Kitchen', and 'Wasted', and the crowd was hype enough to feel like they were a part of the 1017 movement. The lights dimmed as Gucci exited the stage and so I started to head towards the exit, unsure if the concert was ending early. Then, I heard a special announcement that PnB Rock was in the building, and was coming out to perform. 'Selfish' was dropped as everyone had their phones out to record the legendary moment. Complete with fire beats, the legendary Trap Lord, and some great opening acts, it was apparent that everyone in the crowd loved the event. Gucci Mane is not an act to miss because, "Yaaaaaaaaa. It's Gucci, Brrrrrr!" Gucci and company brought the flavor of Atlanta to Philadelphia and it was exactly what the Electric Factory crowd was yearning for.

My apologies for taking so long to get back to you. Again, a highlight of our month away was our time with Jordan. I have some pictures of him as well that we'd like to send on; shall I just send them to you in the office?
It was not as easy to post on Cruisecritic as I'd hoped, but I did post the following, with much appreciation for all your efforts to make our trip so enjoyable.
"We used Tour-Beijing for 2 days of wonderful private sightseeing (the Wall, Forbidden City, hutong, Summer Palace, etc.) and private transfer to our Oceania cruise in Tianjin. Tina in the office was splendid to deal with beforehand, and customized our tour for us, accommodating my husband's slow speed and cane usage. Everything turned out perfectly, and our guide, Jordan, could not have been better - prompt, informative, and patient! While I'd been to Beijing before, this experience was far better. I heartily recommend using them."

Facebook recently announced the removal of fan gates – the mechanism that forces people to like a page in order to enter a competition or access content.
In the early days, when organic reach was high, building a big fan base was important – and the quickest and easiest way of doing this was by running a fan gated competition. Brands filled their communities full of people who didn't care about their business – they just wanted to win prizes. And that was fine – because back then organic reach was high so this gave brands a massive audience to broadcast branded messages to.
Then algorithm changes made organic reach more difficult to come by, shifting the focus from likes to engagement. The only problem was brands had filled their communities so full of unengaged fans that their engagement metrics looked awful – and they started to wonder if Facebook was the right platform for them.
The question really is: are you the right business for the Facebook platform?
The brands that are thriving on Facebook today aren't the ones with the biggest budgets, they're the ones who know why they are there and what they are trying to achieve. They're the ones that understand three key principles:
- Facebook is NOT an owned channel. Brands don't own their fans, their page or the platform. Facebook changes the rules to ensure the platform remains relevant and useful to their 1.1 billion users, not to suit brands. After all, isn't that why brands are there? It's time to stop thinking about Facebook as an owned channel and start thinking about it as an earned channel.
- Facebook is NOT free. Building and maintaining an engaged community requires resources – both human and financial. In order of importance:
- Strategy. Understand what the business needs to achieve and how they will be measured. Know what conversations you want to have, what tools you have to bring them to life with and what you want to achieve with each and every post. Then build a reporting template that benchmarks these objectives over time.
- Content. Facebook is a content-hungry platform requiring a constant stream of great content and conversations. Focus your budgets on good, creative ideas – because a good idea can be brought to life quickly and cost effectively using any one of the hundreds of online tools that filter photos, create infographics or short videos.
- Community Management. Get a good community manager – someone who understands social media, but also marketing, branding, communications and customer service. And someone who has the time to monitor every comment and respond to every wall post or private message in a timely manner.
- Paid Media Support. How much media support is needed depends on how well the three steps above have been done. Having a clearly defined strategy and investing in good content and community management will have a loyal, engaged community that requires only a small paid media investment. In addition, understanding the Five Audiences of Facebook and how to engage with them will also ensure paid media support can be focused on where it will drive the best results.
- Facebook is NOT about reach. And it's also not about engagement. It's about quality of engagement. Next time your community manager talks about engagement rates, ask how 'engagement' is being calculated. Facebook only counts likes, comments as shares as engagement – leaving 'other clicks' on photos, links and update expansions out of the equation. And for very good reason.
So it's goodbye to fan gating. And good riddance I say.

Some Glow Brightly by John Palmer Gregg
This novel was an interesting take on a very common YA trope – young narrator/lead has powers and only he can save the day (with the help of his companions of course).
We follow Red Snyder and his band of merry misfits in this YA novel. Red is special – he can see into the spiritual world – and after a tragic incident his powers are needed to help face the villain of our story.
I did enjoy this novel, despite the very common plot it was a well written universe that kept me interested. It didn't blow my mind to rate it out of five, but it was a good read. I would definitely suggest YA readers who want something different/out of the norm to pick up this book. It's well written, very descriptive and isn't a romance based story. It has action, adventure and a bit of suspense/mystery in there as well.
If anything, I found that this story was a little slow for me. I like a fast paced story, and that dropped my rating down initially to a four. If it isn't a fast moving story, it begins to bore me and makes it difficult to read. I did have to put this book down a few times for Facebook/Twitter breaks before I could go back just because it wasn't super fast. But I was determined to finish it! This book was incredibly beautiful and John Palmer Gregg clearly put a lot of work into it!
I think John Palmer Gregg will developed into a great author – this book has so much potential and doesn't fit the typical norm (despite the normal plot trope). The circus aspect of it intrigued me, and I would love to see this author expand into a more circus themed novel (not only the spirit world, although that plot line was en point as well). With all this potential, I definitely want to read more by John Palmer Gregg.
Overall, this book sat at a 3 by the end of the novel. It was fantastically written, but it was just to slow for me and the typical trope made me a little less interested. The spirit world and circus aspects deserve five stars though! Truly this was a beautiful book!! Keep writing John! I need more books by you in my hands ASAP!!
Three out of five stars.
I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads.

Why workplace safety incidents damage stock market value
New research shows that failing to manage workplace safety has a negative impact on financial performance in the stock market.
The study, published by Qazi S. Kabir at State University of New York at Oneonta, Kevin Watson at Louisiana Tech University, and Theekshana Somaratna at Rutgers University, focused on financial performance after safety incident announcements. The researchers found that workplace safety incidents are having increasingly strong negative effects on stock market performance, as CSR becomes more and more important to consumers and investors.
In 2015, there were a total of 4,836 fatal workplace injuries, and 2.9 million non-fatal injuries in the USA – accounting for 1.1 million lost work days. For employees, this represents increased healthcare costs, lost wages, and diminished quality of life.
From the perspective of the employer, safety incidents damage a firm's reputation, imperil goodwill, and as the study confirms, impede performance in the marketplace.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and workplace safety
In 1970, the US Congress created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), to ensure health and safety in the workplace.
When OSHA was created, shareholders perceived its creation as harmful to profitability, assuming that firms would incur additional costs to achieve compliance with OSHA regulations. Industries with a bad record on workplace safety, such as durable manufacturing and mining, did indeed suffer market valuation declines after OSHA's creation.
But while the creation of OSHA had negative effects for the price of stocks in some industries, the reality was that in the early days of OSHA, penalties were very low, and posed little concern for shareholders. From 1971 to 1975, the average penalty for a violation of an OSHA regulation was just $25.68. Unsurprisingly, these penalties did not have a significant impact on industry health and safety investments.
This all changed, however, by the late 1970s, when OSHA began to impose penalties worth millions of dollars. These sorts of penalties began to jeopardize the financial performance of firms, forcing a greater level of health and safety compliance.
Today, OSHA charge increasingly heavy penalties. In 2016, penalties increased by nearly 80%. Dr David Michaels, who was Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA stated that "OSHA penalties must be increased to provide a real disincentive for employers accepting injuries and worker deaths as a cost of doing business."
Fortunately, attitudes towards health and safety in the workplace have changed significantly since the early 1970s. Emerging perspectives highlight the correlation between safe, lean, and quality services with productivity and flexibility. Today, we are reaching a point where compliance with OSHA can boost a firm's competitive position by helping to protect employees, reduce injuries, reduce lost time, and boost productivity and profitability.
Access to news and financial performance
The new study highlights that as well as the increased importance and visibility of OSHA, the widespread availability of news is also significant for stock market valuation. Industrial accidents that were once only covered in local or regional newspapers can now be broadcast internationally. The researchers give the example of This American Life's broadcast of "Mr Daisey and the Apple Factory," which portrayed working conditions at Foxconn Technology Group, an Apple contract manufacturer, in a very negative light (although the story was later retracted as it came to light that much of the content was fabricated).
Safety incidents and financial performance
The researchers found that organizations can expect a 1% decline in stock prices following the announcement of a safety incident. Interestingly, they observed that this pattern has become more pronounced in recent years. They note, 'While it is hardly surprising that the announcement of a safety incident would result in a decline of a firm's stock price, the magnitude of the change is substantial, especially in the most recent period. It is evident that due to increased awareness regarding workplace safety facilitated by improved access to information, any negative announcement about workplace safety (irrespective of OSHA's involvement) is likely to adversely affect the stock performance of a company.'
Implications for supply chain management
The researchers highlight the need for supply chain managers to ensure safe working environments. They argue that operations and supply chain managers must seek ways to improve their workplaces and processes to make them safer. This will not only help a firm to avoid hefty penalties imposed by regulatory agencies, but will also help them to remain competitive as the importance of corporate image and the need to maintain a triple bottom line grows.

In March 2016, the Langeid Broadaxe was recreated using the forging techniques that were on hand at the time of the Vikings. The replica was produced from scratch, from bog iron blooms. The work involved refining the raw iron, producing hardenable steel for the cutting edge, and forging the actual axe head. Finally, the axe was hafted and tested on a leg of pork.
The blacksmiths were Vegard Vike and Anders Helseth Nilsson.
Exclusive and well preserved
The Museum of Cultural History in Oslo holds only six axes of this type in its collection – broadaxes with brass haft banding. Of the six, the Langeid Axe is best preserved; it was found in an extraordinary grave from the latter part of the Viking Age.
The project
The making of the axe gave us numerous challenges, some surprises and much new knowledge. The journey from bog iron to finished axe is presented here in a number of short articles, each focusing on one of the many part processes. Read more ...
The project was documented as it unfolded, with hundreds of pictures providing a detailed photographic record. The selection available here provides a step-by-step guide to the making of the axe. The menu gives access to more extensive sub galleries, each dedicated to a specific part process. See more photos ...
Our documentation strategy included the making of a video for the purpose of dissemination. Consequently, the various processes were captured on film. There is a long version (24:04 min), an edited short version (4:23 min) and a number of film clips. See more video ...

The idea of the pattern pyramid (started by the lovely Karen) is to pass a bunch of sewing patterns around the world! The rules are as such:
- To enter, comment on this post between now and Saturday, October 6 at midnight PST. Open to anyone with an active blog - make sure it's included when you comment. Winner will be randomly selected by Monday, October 8.
- The winner gets to pick one pattern to keep for him/herself and host a giveaway for the rest!
- If you do win, please consider making a donation to The Brooke, a charity close to the heart of Catherine, who so generously provided these patterns.
Now the details:
My Pattern Pyramid Parcel had 5 patterns plus a Burda magazine. The hardest part of all this is choosing just one to keep - it has really brought out my inner greedy pattern hoarder! But I have decided to keep the Burda - and to pass it on sometime next year. TJ, the first recipient of this round of patterns, suggested making up your pattern during the giveaway period and passing it on - I do not have the time to do that right now, but I agree with the sentiment. Instead of giving in to that inner hoarder, I'll use it and pass it on - recorded here for accountability! I'm also adding in 3 vintage patterns that I recently picked up at a thrift store.
The Patterns
Plus, you get your very own Pattern Pyramid label to sew into whatever you make! Good luck!

Anglesey Self Catering cottage, The Granary, Newborough, sleeps 6
Areas: Anglesey
Booking through:
01244 352 197
Sleeps a maximum of: 6
Pricing From: £465.00
This stone-built terraced barn conversion in a courtyard location is close to the village of Newborough on Anglesey and can sleep six people in three bedrooms.
The Granary is a delightful stone-built terraced barn conversion near to Newborough on the Isle of Anglesey. The cottage has a kingsize double with ensuite facilities, a second kingsize double on the ground floor and a twin bedroom which with the addition of a family bathroom make this cottage suitable for six people. The rest of the accommodation is made up of an open plan living area with a fitted kitchen, a dining area and a sitting room with doors to the garden.
Outside the cottage is off road parking for two cars, bike storage, an enclosed rear lawned garden with furniture with a BBQ and a front sitting area with views over Snowdonia. Being just two miles from the nearest beach and with all of Anglesey and North Wales to discover, The Granary is a wonderful holiday cottage all year round.
Overlooked and Claustrophobic
Sadly disappointed with this cottage. There is a row of apartments immediately behind the cottage which are very close and it is badly overlooked. We needed to keep the rear curtains closed for privacy and the people in the apartments were also keeping their blinds closed for the same reason. With the trees at the front and no view, the small windows of the converted barn, the accommodation was extremely claustrophobic. The Wi-fi was also poor and the signal kept dropping. Positives were adequate parking available, and the accommodation was extremely clean. All in all, I think it was overpriced considering the situation and the outlook. There is much better accommodation available on Anglesey for the same price based on my experience.
Lovely cottage, but could have been cleaner
Stayed her for one week with my parents and my 11 month old daughter. The location of the cottage was excellent, very close to Newborough beach which was lovely. There was also a pass so that you could enter the beach for free (usually ?4). The cottage was nice, but we were disappointed with the cleanliness of the cottage. Whilst superficially it appeared to be clean, when you looked closer it was not and needed a "deep clean." My daughter was crawling and got dirty from the floor and we ended up hovering it ourselves on the second day. It also needs some general maintenance eg the handles in the ensuite are rusty and need replacing. The first floor bedrooms also need some darker blinds as the sun floods the rooms early in the morning.
In a great position for walkers and not too far from the Coastal Path. With Newborough Forest about 1 mile along the road there is plenty of local walking and the beaches there are superb. With a well equipped kitchen and a BBQ outside, eating is easy. The bedrooms are large & very comfortable with ample storage and the bathrooms are very good. On a clear day there are very good views across to Snowdonia which is beautiful.
Mr Young
what a gem
We were unsure what we would find as this was our first time to this part of Anglesey but what a lovely location and a fantastic barn conversion. There was even some cows in the fields near us and lovely views across to the hills/mountains. The barn conversion was very well stocked and beds very clean and comfortable. Could not fault anything and if going back to that part of Anglesey would deff book it again. There is a lovely beach and my grandson was really happy with getting a beach run on a horse from the Anglesey Riding Centre and fish and chips in the local village of Newborough was lovely. It was very good of the owners to have left maps and really good info about the local sites and places to visit. Even our little dog loved it as well.
A fantastic property in a great location.

Type: Brass Ensemble
Location: Yorkshire area
Website: www.harlequinbrass.co.uk
Harlequin Brass was formed in early 1995 by a small group of top class musicians who wished to perform quality brass ensemble music in the North of England. The line up was based on the now famous combination of 4 Trumpets, 4 Trombones, Horn and Tuba made popular by the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble in the 1970's and its successor, London Brass.
A great deal of music has been written and arranged specifically for this combination of instruments by professional composers and arrangers. In addition, Harlequin Brass has been fortunate enough to have many works especially composed or arranged for it, resulting in a repertoire of over 400 pieces of music ranging from Baroque to Big Band, and everything in between!
In addition to its extensive solo work, Harlequin Brass enjoys and specialises in work with choirs. The line up lends itself very well to sharing a stage and performing with choirs of all sizes and types ranging from a small choir such as the Sheffield Cathedral Chamber Choir to a large male voice ensemble such as Bolsterstone Male Voice Choir.

He's giving it back – Reggie Bush says he is forfeiting his Heisman Trophy.
The New Orleans Saints' running back released a statement today saying he would give back the award that he won in 2005 while he was at Southern California. It's the first time college football's top award was returned by a recipient.
"While this decision is heart-breaking, I find solace in knowing that the award was made possible by the support and love of so many," Bush said. "Those are gifts that can never be taken away."
USC was hit with heavy sanctions by the NCAA this summer after it determined Bush had received improper benefits. The NCAA ruled that Bush was ineligible for the 2005 season, which opened the possibility that the Heisman Trophy Trust would take back the award.
One of the few guidelines given to Heisman Trophy voters is that a player must be in compliance with NCAA rules to be eligible for the trophy.
The eight-member Heisman Trophy Trust, based in New York, had said it would have to consider what to do about Bush, who won in a landslide vote over Texas quarterback Vince Young.
There was no immediate word from the Heisman Trust if the award would be vacated or given to Young.

Internet has penetrated into all walks of life, which has greatly increased the need for better connectivity. Lately ,alcatel business portal businesses regardless of being offline or online, see Internet connectivity as an essential part of your business processes. However, remote areas and businesses had to settle connectivity available, mainly due to higher cost of cable installation where returns are minimal for service providers. Growing hunger for Internet use has favored technology providers into action to produce a large amount of network connectivity tools . alcatel business portal Among them, two different technologies called Imax and HSA emerged to combat the handle for more connectivity cake.alcatel business portal
Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (Imax) is the technology that allows the user to surf the Internet wirelessly.alcatel business portal It is a telecommunications technology that can carry data over long distances, either point to point or a full mobile access. The main feature of this technology is that it works the same broadband wireless standard IEEE 802.16 , which was established in 1999. Imax also has the ability to extend local WI -Fib networks in the wider area of recoverable up to 50 km and its support of Intel , the largest manufacturer of semiconductors worldwide.alcatel business portal
Similarly, High Speed weakest Access ( HSA) also has a similar high Imax technology. In short,alcatel business portal it is a set of mobile phone protocols that offer better performance bandwidth of the existing radio. Equipped with the latest technology 3.5G , you can play amazing download speeds up to 7.2 Mbps. HSA should be proud to have the support of major equipment vendors such as Ericsson , Nokia Siemens Networks , Nortel, Alcatel and Lucent. Its proven to perform well in all conditions and the download speeds ability helped technology to be absorbed by several countries in a short space of time.alcatel business portal
Unfortunately , Imax is not without its problems , Australia 's first Imax operator had to cease operations due to the short distances alcatel business portal, contrary to its request. In addition, the HSA service was able to produce the result of desire in more than 50 countries and 150 networks . For example, in some places, and subscribers can watch streaming movies in high definition at Mbps . HSA also holds a cost advantage over the other , the charges months from now is in the area of WW$ 30, while one has to pay $ 10 more to get the same Imax service.alcatel business portal
Like most people who spend time away from their workplace, electric mobility has become an indispensable tool in communication and business alcatel business portal. If the winner is Imax or HSA , wider extension of the area under the Internet connectivity through wireless services improve people do day to day business be anywhere in the world. Access to broadband Internet through wireless technology to stimulate growth in all areas , including business,alcatel business portal education and health.
Global Connectivity Wireless Internet will also give an advantage to an employer who is far from the main markets for a reasonable return for our products or services.alcatel business portal Real-time effects of electric mobility and Internet coverage for long distance communication is suggested ,alcatel business portal electronic commerce will be the winner and is likely to increase its stake in the business world.

Avera to Develop Rail-Served Industrial Facility in Houston
- By
- May 18, 2017
Houston-based Avera Cos. will be developing a 143-acre industrial complex in Pasadena, Texas, Avera announced Tuesday. Bayport Logistics Park will feature 7,000 feet of frontage on a Union Pacific rail line and apparently is envisioned to eventually comprise three or four buildings.
The site, on the east side of Underwood Road just south of Fairmont Parkway, is within the Bayport Industrial District and is also only about 5 miles from both the Barbour's Cut and Bayport container terminals.
The site also includes pipeline access and will allow for rail-served buildings between 200,000 and 900,000 square feet and non rail-served buildings of up to 1 million square feet.
"Prime industrial sites in the southeast submarket have become exceedingly difficult to find due to increasing scarcity, presenting a big challenge in a submarket with constant demand," Trey Odom, president & CEO of Avera, said in a prepared statement.
Avera declined to provide additional information to Commercial Property Executive.
Bayport Logistics Park will be Avera's second development in this part of metro Houston. Just north of the site is Avera's Bayport Industrial Park, a three-building, 738,610-square-foot project currently under development.
Houston's East-Southeast Far submarket has an inventory of about 58.7 million square feet and a current direct vacancy of 6.5 percent, according to a first-quarter report from Colliers International.
Nearly 40 percent of the 4.9 million square feet currently under construction in metro Houston is in that submarket, which is home to the Houston Ship Channel and the Port of Houston. The reason presumably is strong activity at the Port of Houston, which saw a 17 percent increase in container volumes in the first two months of 2017, when compared to the first two months of 2016, also according to Colliers.

Former assistant returns as volleyball head coach
Jan. 14, 2005
KALAMAZOO--Western Michigan University has hired former Bronco assistant Colleen Munson to become the seventh head coach in the 39-year history of WMU volleyball.
Munson replaces Cathy George, who left the university after 11 years to take the head coaching duties at Michigan State University.
"We are excited to have Colleen back at Western Michigan University," said Athletic Director Kathy Beauregard. "She is an experienced head coach at the Division I level and is a good fit for our program."
Munson has spent the past five seasons as the head volleyball coach at East Carolina University. In 2000, she became only the third coach in program history to post a winning record (17-13) and garnered the first regional ranking in ECU history. Munson led ECU to its first Conference USA Tournament berth in 2001 and compiled an overall record of 52-99 with the Pirates.
A native of Glen Ellyn, Ill., Munson spent three years as an assistant at WMU under George from 1997 to 1999. During Munson's stint in Kalamazoo, WMU had a 57-35 overall record. In 1999, WMU went 25-7 overall and 15-3 in the Mid-American Conference, advancing to the MAC Tournament title match.
As a player, Munson began her career at North Dakota State University. She transferred to the University of Texas-Arlington in 1990. During her career at UT-A the Maverick's made an NCAA tournament appearance and won two Southland Conference titles. A three-year starter, Munson ended her career with 4,089 assists, which ranks fifth in the Maverick's record books.

Eugene Lang is the vice president of Bluesky Strategy Group and co-founder Canada 2020. Lang is the award wining author of The Unexpected War: Canada in Kandahar and was chief of staff to two Liberal Ministers of National Defence
Two weeks ago the government of Canada announced who would build some $33 billion worth of ships for the Navy and Coast Guard. This was a historic decision. It was historic in its scale. It was historic in terms of the process that was followed to select the winning ship yards. But more fundamentally, it has revealed a historic change in the country.
The focus to date has been on the process used by the government to make this high stakes decision. Public servants designed that process, set the evaluation criteria, evaluated the bids, and announced the winners, without any interference from politicians. Ministers and the prime minister found out which shipyards won just minutes before the public was informed via a press conference conducted by bureaucrats.
The process has therefore been lauded as impeccably fair, objective, almost scientific in its approach. A decision that created winners and losers — both companies and provinces — on a scale not seen in decades, hasn't produced a ripple of controversy. No one predicted that.
There were two winners: Irving Shipbuilding Inc. in Nova Scotia and Seaspan in British Columbia. There was one loser, Davie, a Quebec shipyard (which still has an opportunity to bid on some $2 billion of further federal shipbuilding contracts).
To be sure, the lack of controversy had a lot to do with this non-political process. Yet there are more fundamental political and economic reasons at the root of this unexpected non-controversy.
The winning regions — B.C. and Atlantic Canada — both have long recognized strengths in shipbuilding. The provinces in these regions will benefit from thousands of well paying and high skilled jobs over the next two decades, no small thing in the context of a very uncertain and unstable future for the Canadian economy. The losing region was Quebec, a province that also has a long history in the shipbuilding industry.
The Harper government's centre of political gravity is in the west. The prime minister and the minister responsible for this decision — Rona Ambrose, the Minister of Public Works — are westerners. The other relevant ministers in this decision, Peter McKay, the Minister of National Defence, and Keith Ashfield, the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans (who is responsible for the Coast Guard) are both from Atlantic Canada — Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, where Irving is headquartered, respectively. As for Quebec, the Harper government has weaker representation in that province than any majority government in Canadian history.
Based on this political reality one might have concluded that the fix was in for Atlantic Canada and BC from day one. If this decision had been made 15 or 20 years ago that would have been the general conclusion. Quebec would have exploded — its federal and provincial politicians, media, elites and citizens — in fury at being discriminated against, short-changed again by Ottawa. A decision that would send over $30 billion in federal largesse to the wings of the country, and exclude Quebec, would have been incontrovertible evidence of how the federation doesn't work for Quebec. Imagine the hue and cry in the House of Commons if this decision had occurred even six months ago, when the Bloc Québécois still held the majority of Quebec seats and screamed from the rafters when very minor decisions out of Ottawa didn't favour Quebec.
Those days are gone. The BQ has been wiped out, its politics rejected by Quebecers, replaced by the NDP, who have a much more balanced view of how federal money should be allocated regionally not least because they are a national party. The NDP, with its current leader and most of its neophyte caucus concentrated in Quebec, have predictably bemoaned the lack of regional equity in the decision, but in pretty muted fashion. At least one of their East Coast MPs has lauded the decision (The Liberals are supporting the government on this one). And the National Assembly and the Quebec media have broadly accepted the decision.
This relative lack of criticism from Quebec is the really important dimension of the shipbuilding file. It is likely a reflection of the fact that the province is stronger and more confident economically than it was 15 or 20 years ago — stronger on some measures than Ontario. The sovereigntists, and the righteous indignation that they exhibit at every turn, used to appeal to many Quebecers, but now seems to have given way to a new pragmatism in the province, revealing maturity about Quebec's standing and role in the federation. In that sense, Quebec today seems a lot more like Ontario 20 or 30 years ago, a province that was willing to occasionally accept the short end of the stick from Ottawa.
The Harper government should be commended for the process that led to this decision. The public servants that assumed the mantle of leadership and responsibility that was devolved to them, in unprecedented fashion, should be more than commended. But the big message from this decision, and the way the country, and especially Quebec has responded to it, is that Canada has changed for the better.

In a Ben Gibbard lyric he talks about feeling discouraged by a lack of color, I have felt downhearted lately for this reason. The lack of color I refer to is my inspiration, it has gone missing. The world is such a noisy busy place and so often I feel lost in the bustle. The more time I spend out in the commotion the less I am able to hear myself. The artist in me is completely stifled by the deafening clamor of people buzzing around me, pulling me this way and that. It is a trade-off I suppose, I love the connection to the world and to people but I also feel a strong urge to withdrawal for the sake of self-preservation.
With the holidays and work being busy it has felt like I have been trapped in a room with no exit for weeks. It is a bright room filled with all kinds of odd sounds, ringing, doors slamming, multiple people talking over all at once each one competing to be the loudest. It is a room of constant stimulation and I have been standing in the middle juggling. Today I escaped! I found the exit and fled as fast as I could.
Todd has been out-of-town for a week, returning tomorrow. With this I spent most of last week at my parents house for the holiday. Their house is entirely too crowded. 5 adults (including me) 2 children, a dog and a cat. By the time I am done at work and get over there my energy level is running on fumes just to be bombarded by even more stimulus the moment I walk in the door. Make no mistake, children are energy siphons.
This morning I got up early and drove home to the solitude and silence of my empty house. I spent the first three hours taking in the quiet and calm of my sleepy home as I washed dishes and put away Christmas presents.
Once my chores were finished I spent a little time online ordering some odds and ends for the wedding. I spent the rest of my afternoon sipping tea and coloring while When Harry met Sally played low in the background. For my birthday my brother bought me a new coloring book and some new pencils. I don't know if I have ever mentioned this before but I have quite a large coloring book collection. It was of the things I do to relax when I need to unwind. It is the closest I have been able to come to any artistic outlet of late because any creative insight I have has been buried under responsibility and structure. I have not even had the want to write, which is unlike me.
This evening one of my girlfriends and I went out for dinner and drinks. With the holidays keeping us both preoccupied we had not seen each other since before my birthday. When she came over the first thing she did was present me with my birthday gift and she did well. She is paying for us to do a painting session together.
The artist or whomever runs the event comes to one of our local bars and guides us as we paint whatever the chosen piece is. Although it is a predetermined piece we will be working on I am still excited to get a brush in my hand, a glass of wine in the other and create. The fact that my girlfriend will be working alongside me is an incredible bonus. I have heard about these events and always wanted to go to one, I am thrilled to have the chance. The one I think we will be going to is actually at one of our favorite bars, Red Light Red Light, and therefore is within walking distance of my girlfriends house, extra added bonus.
Today was a good day that is ending with some Simon and Garfunkel along with an over due unburdening of my emotions. I feel still again, I can hear my own voice and soon I know my inspiration will dig out from under the burdens that have kept it tied down and it will once again pour out of me onto whatever medium it chooses.

Poor khaleesi. Will she ever get back to Westeros and rule the seven kingdoms of Westeros?
On Sunday's Game of Thrones, Daenerys suffered a major setback that could hurt her bid to win back the Iron Throne. But is she the only one who faltered? Who prevailed? breaks down the power shifts in "The Old Gods and the New": Game of Thrones' Maisie Williams: Arya becomes a bit psychotic
Power Tripping
Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen): In order to impress his father Balon, Theon takes Winterfell by force, turning on the people who raised him as a ward/hostage. They don't take his betrayal seriously, though, until he decides to prove himself ironborn and kill Ser Rodrik for being lippy. It takes him at least four sloppy hacks to behead the master at arms.
Arya Stark (Maisie Williams): She had Jaqen H'ghar kill Amory Lorch for the second of three deaths owed to her and also got access to some of Lord Tywin's written battle plans. What she's able to do with them remains to be seen.
Jon Snow (Kit Harington): Although he can't find it in himself to kill Ygritte, the Wildling they captured, he does take her prisoner, and, judging by her secret smile, earns her respect.
Power Failure
Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke): She underestimates someone in Qarth, who not only slaughters many in her khalasar, but also steals her dragons, her most powerful barganing chips. What will the mother of dragons do now?
Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wright): Forced to yield Winterfell to Theon, Bran and his younger brother Rickon later flee on foot with their direwolves, Osha and Hodor.
Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson): For the first time, the teen tyrant experiences his people's discontent firsthand when someone flings excrement at him. His outraged reaction to "kill them all" leads to an uprising that endangers himself as well as his courtiers.
Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner): In the Jeffrey-incited riot, she gets parted from the group and is attacked and almost raped by several men before The Hound saves her.

Isaiah was born and bred in Texas, and spent his childhood reading a blend of Dickens, Dumas, and Stan Lee. He dreamed his whole life of becoming a writer. And also of being bitten by a radioactive spider. Unfortunately, only one dream has panned out.
For fifteen years he taught and coached students in writing and the arts before he finally took his own advice and wrote The Troubles of Johnny Cannon.
He lives in Philadelphia with his wife, three children, and his sanity, although that may be moving out soon. He occasionally searches the classifieds for the bulk sale of spiders and uranium but hasn't had any luck yet.
Q. Where did you get your idea for The Troubles of Johnny Cannon?
A. Short story: It came from my long standing love of comic books and history, and my own terrible social skills. Long story: Read the STORY BEHIND THE STORY.
Q. How long does it take you to write a book?
A. From idea to finished product, anywhere from a few months to eleven years.
Q. I've got a great idea for a book, want to hear it?
A. Nope. Sorry. I'd much rather read it after you've written it. I just haven't had luck writing somebody else's story.
Q. Is there going to be a movie?
A. I'd LOVE for there to be a movie, but right now there isn't one planned. The rights are available, though. So if you're looking...
Q. Why can't I find your book in my local bookstore/library/etc?
A. Either because they are sold out or because they didn't order it. Both of those problems have the same solution, though. Find the nearest worker and request a copy.
Q. Any tips for writers?
A. Don't try to write a story before it's ready to be written. And then, once you start, don't stop until every last word is on paper. Worry about everything else later, just get the darn thing down.

If you purchase an image in it's first edition, the value of your investment automatically increases as soon as it moves up to the second edition. More editions will be added based upon demand at sequentially higher prices until all 50 images are sold. Once all editions are sold out, the image is retired and can no longer be printed.
All "Exclusive Limited Edition Prints" are produced and presented on Fine Art Gallery quality canvas.
