The National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) originally began as Women in Construction of Fort Worth, Texas. Sixteen women working in the construction industry founded it in 1953. Knowing that women represented only a small fraction of the construction industry, the founders organized NAWIC to create a support network. Women in Construction of Fort Worth was so successful that it gained its national charter in 1955 and became the National Association of Women in Construction.
The El Paso Chapter was Chartered June 1978!
NAWIC provides its members with opportunities for professional development, education, networking, leadership training, public service and more.
"As material for the construction of our building, I pledge the agility of my hands The ability of my mind And the integrity of my heart."
Your support and contributions will enable us to meet our goals and provide scholarships in the construction industry. Your generous donation will fund our mission.

Many of us have schedules that are so hectic, we do not seem to find the time to unwind and deal with mental stress and physical aches and pains. It doesn't have to be that way. Chair massage is a convenient solution.
The chair massage is done in a specially designed chair that supports all areas of your body. This allows you to relax much more than sitting in an office chair. It positions your body to be conveniently worked on by a well-trained therapist. This position allows intensive work in specific areas or relaxation techniques in a more general approach. Not only will you receive a massage but you will get education on your body and what you may be doing to harm it.
The massage is done fully clothed and lasts 10 minutes or more.
Chair Massage is offered by New Life Massage for our corporate clients at their locations on an every-other-week basis. We provide 10-minute massages for $10 per session. Sessions are fantastic for headaches, migraines, carpal-tunnel-like symptoms, lower back pain and many other issues. It is also great for a stress-busting, relaxing, rejuvenating break.
Massages are done in a private, relaxing room. You can schedule online. If you have any questions, let us know or stop by when the therapist is on-site.

"In 2018 our new bus station, extra railway station car park, Kingsway surgery, University of Gloucestershire Business School and student accommodation at Blackfriars will all open," said MP Richard Graham.
In addition MP Richard said we'll know the result in February of our key bid to improve the train station itself, the underpass to Great Western Road/GRH and a new car exit/entrance onto Metz Way.
"These changes, and the success of our bid, will make a real difference to travelling to and working in Gloucester, alongside double the number of Swindon and London trains in 2018 and Cross Country commitments on Inter City trains," the MP added.
The city council is playing a vital role in all these projects and Leader Paul James confirmed that there will be new public toilets in the new Bus Station. "I know how important these are," said Paul, "watch too for news of progress on difficult sites like the ex-prison, the former Fleece Hotel and Kings Quarter."
Meanwhile following the on time and in budget Elmbridge Court roundabout project, the GCC will now improve the A38 Cross Keys roundabout. Quedgeley County Councillor and Council Leader Mark Hawthorne said, "this should improve journey times to and from the M5 for Quedgeley residents. Next will be work to the A38 Longford roundabout, so that as traffic increases we can keep it moving."
Improvements are coming too on broadband, with the GCC Fastershire project rolling out to black spots in our city in 2018. "Good broadband access is critical for anyone working from home," agreed Mayor and Grange Councillor Steve Morgan and Tuffley County Councillor Andrew Miller: "and the number of Home Business start ups have increased sharply."
Lastly MP Richard hoped the government would confirm a formal bid from a new NHS and University of Gloucestershire backed Gloucestershire Health University Technical College (UTC) early in the New Year. "More of that soon," he said, "in our exciting Year of Infrastructure".

Anthropologists, the people who study everything we have ever done as the human species, like to say that all cultural practices are relevant. They ask us non-anthropologists to keep an open mind when we're faced with cultural practices we can't understand before we judge a group of people. They advice us to do this because there are so many differences in how cultures deal with:
- Death
- Coming of age
- Marriage
Sometimes people practice a ritual because it's a part of their religion, or it's such an old tradition that no one questions its existence. To an outsider or a non-practitioner of a religion, these practices can look extreme and shocking.

"Object:Art" is the theme of a fundraising event planned for Art in Action, the Menlo Park-based non-profit organization that has provided art education to more than 350,000 children since it was founded by Judy Sleeth in 1982. The event is on Friday, March 27, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Computer History Museum, 1401 Shoreline Blvd. in Mountain View.
Dennis Hwang, Google's founding "Doodler," will receive the Art Visionary Award at the event, which will also feature a silent auction of art, art experiences and other items. Tickets, at $100 per person are available online.
Money raised at the event will be used by Art in Action to keep down the cost of providing art education in schools. According to its website, the organization will use the funds raised to update curriculum to be "more relevant to Common Core and other subjects, while introducing new artists and movements to students hungry for more art knowledge and skills."
Art in Action now annually works with more than 50,000 students, trains more than 3,000 teachers and is in close to 200 schools across the county. However, the organization, says, nearly 4 million students in the U.S. do not have access to a visual arts program.
Art Visionary Award-winner Dennis Hwang started at Google as an intern working as an assistant webmaster, but was soon asked to design the Google Doodles, the graphic reinterpretations of the company's logo that appear on the Google home page. From 2000 to 2009, he designed doodles commemorating special occasions, inventions, holidays, and pioneers in the arts, science and other fields. Mr. Hwang also helped start an international student art competition, Doodle4Google, which offers student scholarships and a showcase for winning art on the Google homepage.
Mr. Hwang now works as art director for Niantic Labs, an internal Google startup that has developed interactive video games and is working on a movie and books to accompany its latest game, "Endgame."
Art in Action says it will give the Art Visionary Award annually to a person or organization that exemplifies, supports, and promotes the important role that art and artists play in society and everyday life.
Art in Action says it is helping prepare students with critical skills for today's workplaces - creativity and visual literacy. "Art in Action builds these very skills, while igniting students' thinking and creativity by providing engaging visual arts programs through which they learn art history, appreciation, and skills," according to its website.
Event sponsors include the Palo Alto Weekly and Palo Alto Online as well as Google, Facebook, Wells Fargo and Shutterfly.

OM Russia began working in the Caucasus Mountains, aiming to plant churches among the least-reached peoples in that region. This is one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse regions in the world with 50 ethnic groups speaking totally unrelated languages. Because of this diversity and because of the prominence of Islam, it is also one of the least-reached regions in the world. Come and join OM Russia to serve with a local church plant.
ISRAEL: What comes to mind? Beautiful mountains? Mediterranean beaches? Deserts? Biblical sites? War? Terrorists? Bombings? We want you to share the hope of Christ to the hopeless.
We are reaching out to Jews and Arabs. You can learn Hebrew or Arabic and use some English to communicate the Gospel of Jesus.
Our team in Israel is looking for people with a passion to see new churches planted among the least-reached, churches that are making disciples who are in turn making other disciples. Experience in this area is valued, but not necessary to join. Training can be provided by those on the team with experience in this area. We are working among both Jewish and Arab communities, especially in the Galilee.

Last week I discovered a modern scavenger hunt remix after scrabbling to recover from a rained-out 16th birthday party. The scavenger hunt was my wife's idea. I'll be honest, I've never been a huge fan. Making copies and counting up points has never been my thing. But, once I discovered www.goosechase.com (and the iPhone app), I completely changed my mind.
Goosechase is absolutely perfect for youth groups, life groups and ministry team nights out.
Goosechase allows the GameMaster to create a custom scavenger hunts from a browser by setting start and stop times, generating unique missions (or choose from existing ones from the goosechase bank) and awarding bonus and penalty points during the game in real time. It's a scavenger hunt organizer's dream come true.
For the players, goosechase is a brilliant move forward for scavenger hunts everywhere. After downloading the goosechase app, each team can complete any mission with a snap of the iPhone. And at any time during the game, participants can see a live feed of every team's pictures and progress as well as view a real-time ranking and score.
Because goosechase does not do video, we included 4 video wildcard challenges worth 1000 points to be shown on the AppleTV when we returned.

'Game of Thrones' season 8 recap – Episode 2: 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms'
(Courtesy of Helen Sloan/HBO)
"A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms"
Directed by David Nutter
58 minutes
By Susana Alcantar
April 22, 2019 1:58 p.m.
Winter is here: The final season of "Game of Thrones" is one of the most highly anticipated television events of the last decade. Follow our columnists as they explore students' weekly reactions as an iconic era of pop culture comes to an end. Beware, spoilers lie ahead.
Death is coming!
But first, we return to Winterfell for a fairly anticlimactic – if uncharacteristically wholesome – build up to the long-awaited battle.
The episode opens with Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), who faces a room of people who hate him. Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) and Sansa (Sophie Turner) would like to see him dead, until Brienne (Gwendoline Christie) steps in to vouch for his honor. The moment is sweet, calling back to Jaime and Brienne's friendship from seasons ago and re-establishing their respect for each other.
Sansa takes her word, and Jon (Kit Harington) supports the decision, saying Jaime can stay to fight. Two against one gives Daenerys no choice but to agree her remaining dragons will have to wait another day for a quick snack. But clearly, her power doesn't extend as far as she once thought it did.
Arya (Maisie Williams) – fierce as ever – is raring to fight the dead, despite her friend Gendry (Joe Dempsie) telling her that the White Walkers are scarier than any foe she has ever faced. But Arya just throws a few knives in response, establishing the theme for the rest of the episode: The battle is almost here and death is near.
Daenerys then goes to talk to Sansa to find some common ground. Sansa says Jon's love for Daenerys worries her because, according to her, "Men do stupid things for women." She has a point. After all, her brother Robb Stark married the woman he loved, and it didn't turn out well. Daenerys, however, insists that Jon is one of two men she knows to be true to their word – the first, of course, being her deceased husband Khal Drogo.
But their bonding session comes to a screeching halt when Sansa asks her about the North's independence if they make it out alive and when Daenerys takes back the Iron Throne. With an eerie silence, the queen removes her hand away from Sansa's before they are interrupted, making it clear that Daenerys intends to keep the power in her grasp.

Fourth-year economics student Zoha Mortazavi said she felt the scene was important because it seemed the two get along, but it didn't happen because of the threat Daenerys poses to Sansa's power. Yet neither of them know Jon is the true heir, and their anger is misplaced, she said.
But romance and power struggles are tabled as the wildling Tormund (Kristofer Hivju) reports that the army of dead will arrive before the sun rises. Tormund sums their situation up best: "We are all going to die."
Despite the doom and gloom, the most touching scene of the episode soon follows, in which some of the main characters sit by the fireplace and Brienne reveals that she is not a knight because it is against custom for a woman to be a knight. But as a knight – and someone who clearly cares deeply for Brienne – Jaime states that he can knight her.
Brienne kneels and Jaime proclaims her "Brienne of Tarth, a knight of the Seven Kingdoms." It beautifully brings Brienne's storyline full circle, as she finally receives the recognition she has deserved since first appearing on the show in season two.
Third-year political science student Karla Aparicio said she felt the scene foreshadows Brienne's death in next week's episode.
"Her life goal was to be a knight and she got that," Aparicio said. "It just feels like such a goodbye."
The episode ends with Jon and Daenerys down in Winterfell's crypt, where Jon reveals the truth: He is the son of Lyanna Stark and her brother Rhaegar Targaryen. Daenerys doesn't seem to care much about the fact that she's had sex with her nephew; instead, the worried look on her face suggests that she's much more bothered by Jon's claim to the Iron Throne.
In that moment, Mortazavi said Daenerys realizes the North is not going to stand behind her.
In an episode devoted to subtle character moments, it's clear that Daenerys will have her work cut out for her to maintain her current power status. But there are currently more pressing matters to handle; with the army of the dead only minutes away, it will be interesting to see how this newfound power struggle plays out in the upcoming battle.
Overall, the second episode continued to build the pressure as the season progresses. Though it felt a bit slow paced, it was necessary to have all characters' relationships and emotions established before the battle of Winterfell next week. Fans should prepare for deaths and tears in the coming week.

HUNTINGDON, Pa. — Goucher kept its chances of making the upcoming Landmark Conference playoffs alive by overcoming a 3-1 deficit to pin a 4-3 setback on Juniata this afternoon.
Just three days after being forced to settle for a discouraging draw in a game in which they were up 3-1 on Elizabethtown in the 89th minute, the Gophers (7-6-1, 3-3-1 Landmark) found themselves in a 1-0 hole against the Eagles when a shot by Steven Stroup bounded off the right post and went in less than a minute into today's contest.
Things got worse for head coach Bryan Laut's squad before they got better: An own goal at 18:25 provided the home team with a 2-0 advantage.
Goucher's first goal didn't come until Thomas Adair (Dunkirk, Md./Northern) made a run from behind to be the first to reach a booming free kick that Brandon Weiner (Derwood, Md./Col. Zadok A. Magruder) sent over several Juniata defenders. Adair flicked the ball over the opposing keeper at 55:31 for his first goal of the 2014 campaign.
Robby Higgins restored the Eagles' lead to two with he lofted a high shot in at 61:17.
Nate Margolis (Ivyland, Pa./Council Rock North) made it 3-2 with his second goal of the season for Goucher at 78:34. The scoring play began with a long throw by George El-Khoury (Cranford, N.J./Cranford), who got the ball back and sent a cross into the box where Margolis headed it in.
An unassisted goal by Luis Gomes (Bushkill, Pa./East Stroudsburg North) at 82:04 created a 3-3 tie, which lasted only 58 seconds before the Gophers went ahead for the first time when a corner kick by Lashaw Salta (Allen, Texas/Plano East) went in for an own goal off a Juniata defender who was challenging Weiner for the ball.
That still left nearly seven minutes for Juniata to stage a comeback of its own and the Eagles (5-12, 2-5 Landmark) did get off two shots down the stretch. The first attempt was blocked; the second was turned away by Nicholas Stolarz (Clark, N.J./Arthur L. Johnson), who finished with five saves in goal for the Gophers.
"It was a crazy week for us," Laut commented after the game. "Juniata is always a difficult place to play and they made us work hard to get this important win for our program. I'm proud of how we battled back to came away with three points because that means the things we want to accomplish are still possible."
Today's win lifted Goucher into a four-way tie with Elizabethtown, Moravian and Scranton for fourth place in the Landmark Conference. The Gophers, who conclude the regular season by welcoming Susquehanna to Beldon Field on Nov. 1, hold tiebreakers over both the Greyhounds and the Royals by virtue of head-to-head victories.

Xiao (simplified Chinese: 箫) is a vertical end-blown flute in China. Generally speaking, it is made of a kind of dark brown bamboo and is sometimes referred to as dongxiao with "dong" literally meaning "hole". This instrument dates back to ancient China and it is believed that the xiao developed from another more simple end-blown flute that was widely used among Qiang People during a period in history.
The xiao in Ancient China
In Chinese history, the xiao was used in the Palace's musical performances for a long time. There are eight classifications of instruments in ancient China according to the materials they are made of. The xiao belongs to the "Bamboo" family. Interestingly enough, in many Chinese novels, the hero or protagonist uses the xiao but not for musical purposes, rather for combat. The sound of it is quiet, long and intangible and is often used in performance to express one's emotion when he is missing their lovers or hometown. Parts of the Xiao are made of jade often leading it to be dubbed an "elegant weapon".
Brief Introduction
The length of the xiao varies from around 45 cm to over 1.25m. Generally speaking, the shorter xiaos are harder to play as it requires players to control one's breath more accurately. Nowadays Xiao are usually pitched in the key of G (with the D above middle C being the lowest note). Traditionally, there are six finger holes on a xiao, but the most modern productions have eight holes; the additional holes cannot increase the instrument's range but make it easier to play notes such as F. The xiao also has a further four sound holes situated at the bottom third length. The blowing hole is at the top end. It is usually cut into a 'U' shape or "V" shape. The most comfortable angle to play the xiao is around 45 degrees from the body.
Types of Xiao
Dongxiao: It is the most common kind of Xiao among people with a diameter of 2.2 centimetres. There are usually 5 holes at the front and 1 at the back. It is usually used in solo performance.
Qinxiao: Qinxiao is smaller and there are 7 holes at the front and on at the back. The volume of it is also smaller than Dongxiao. It is often used in instrumental ensemble with the guqin, another famous ancient Chinese instrument.

Summer Time: Spanish and Joy
By: Ana Lucia Divins
A few years ago, I began to question who I wanted to be when I grew up… as a mother, as a professional, as an artist and as a woman. In the process, I made some radical decisions about the type of work I do, how I do it and in general how I live my life.
Among all the changes and wonderful discoveries during the last two years, probably the most important one has been my intentional commitment to be fully present in my children's lives before they are not little anymore. Nicholas is 10 and Natalie is 9 and I figure that in about 5 years (or less), hanging out with mami at the pool, at amusement parks or at the beach is not going to be "that cool" anymore. So, like Tracy Chapman will say "If not now, then when?"
Summer is the most exciting time for me and my little ones. It is not only an opportunity to spend time together while having fun, but it is also a chance to expose them and speak more Spanish at home.
Last year, they went to many of my Criss Cross Mangosauce performances and sat in several of my lunch meetings. But we also rode roller coasters together (way too many times), went to the pool and enjoyed special overnight trips to Myrtle Beach. We talked, we laughed, they asked questions about my business, they know I love to sing, we spoke more Spanish, they pulled me away from the computer more than once… We created memories together and I felt present.
This week, we are ready to kick-off the summer and with that, I also kick-off my plans to immerse them (as much as possible) into a more intentional Spanish learning process. As I always say, the process of raising bilingual children is a work in progress, I learn as I go. This is yet another "pilot" where I will encourage my children to learn and speak more Spanish using a combination of ideas and techniques…. and of course fun!
Please wish me luck and share with me any fun tips or ideas for this "Verano en Español ~ Summer in Spanish". I will keep you posted of our venture!

Great Idea! please keep me informed when are you planningto schedule these activities!
Increible mujer! tienesmi apoyo! buena suerte!

Dear Hillside Families,
Welcome back to the 2019-20 school year! We hope you enjoyed many memorable experiences with family and friends this summer. It continues to be an honor and privilege to serve as the principal of such as an exemplary and student-centered learning community.
This year we will continue to work towards our goal of all students becoming college and career ready. The staff has been attending specialized trainings over the summer to learn strategies to optimize students' academic and social growth. We will do this kid by kid and skill by skill. We want your child's experience to be top-notch.
We invite you to become an active participant in our school community through volunteering, joining our PTO, and/or attending and supporting school events. Research clearly supports that when parents and guardians participate and are involved in their child's education, there is a greater likelihood of academic success for the child.
We encourage you to check our school webpage and your email to stay informed about event dates and times.
The wonderful Hillside staff and I feel privileged to be a part of this school family. We thank you for your support and look forward to seeing many of you again, and to meeting new families.

How do you choose your characters' names? Do you think of persons you have known? Do you think of the traits of that character? As a writer, there are many ways to make these choices, but for me, the names must have a deeper meaning.
When I wrote, my two fiction novels, I used my personal dictionary of names, called The Hidden Truth of Your Name along with other electronic resources to research the meaning of each character's name. For example, in my first book, A Golden Leaf in Time, I named one female character Flora. Flora means flower, yet this character was deceptive and appeared to be beautiful on the outside. But, she never evolved into the glorious flower she could have become because she did not develop herself on the inside.
Her husband goes by the nickname of Trey in the first novel and he acts in immature and boyish ways. However, in the sequel novel, Warm Intrigues, he goes by his given name of Tyre which means rock and strength. After a long talk with his father, he better understands the importance of calling forth his parents' idea for his life. He learns about the powerful traders of dyes from that ancient island of Tyre. He has matured after so much pain in the marriage with the imperfect Flora and he gets better life results in Warm Intrigues, where he now goes by Tyre. As with the name, he now knows he is a man and takes more responsibility for his actions.
So, in writing, you might ask, "What is in a name?" For me, it is everything!

University of Illinois at Chicago Office of Public Affairs (MC 288)
601 S. Morgan St., Chicago, IL 60607-7113, (312) 996-3456, www.uic.edu/depts/paff
University of Illinois students who excel in both academics and athletics are encouraged to enter the 27th annual Avery Brundage Scholarship competition.
Scholarship applications for 2000 - 2001 will be available beginning Nov. 5 at the financial aid and intramural/recreation offices of the Chicago, Urbana-Champaign and Springfield campuses. The deadline for submission is Jan. 14, 2000.
Last year, 23 winners were awarded $1,500 each.
Full-time U of I students, including incoming freshmen, graduate and transfer students, may apply. Grant-in-aid recipients are not eligible for Brundage scholarships under specified conditions. Academic and athletic competence will be considered over financial need.
Undergraduate and transfer student applicants must rank in the top 25 percent of their college, and incoming freshmen must rank in the upper 25 percent of their incoming class. Graduate and professional students must be in good academic standing.
Students also must have demonstrated "special athletic ability" in an amateur sport. However, their participation must have been for personal development, rather than as preparation for professional athletics. Previous winners represent a wide variety of sports from archery and tennis to swimming and wheelchair basketball.
The late Avery Brundage, a 1909 U of I graduate, competed in the 1912 Olympics and later served as president of both the U.S. and International Olympic committees. He established the scholarship in 1974 with a $343,000 endowment to the University of Illinois Foundation. In the past 26 years, 582 scholarships with a total value of about $538,500 have been awarded. Brundage maintained his interest in the University through service as a member of the University of Illinois Foundation, President's Club and Citizen's Committee.
Forms and further information are online at: http://www.uoapa.uillinois.edu/scholarships/brundage
Applications are available on the UIC campus at five locations:

Latest ASLEF News
The Jack Leslie statue campaign
ASLEF Union calls for
01 July 2005
Andy Reed, National Organiser of train driver's union ASLEF, said today that the arguments about identity cards 'had only just begun' as the government pushed its proposals for identity cards through the Commons.
'Charles Clarke appears to have very little notion of the issues at stake,' Andy said. 'He seems obsessed with how much ID should cost rather than the fact that they are potentially a basic attack on core civil liberties.
'He seems to think the argument is about £40 or £140. It is not. It is about central worries and concerns about state interference in individual liberties.'
Andy Reed said he was astonished that the Home Secretary should suggest that ID cards were 'a bargain' if he made them cheaper for 'poorer citizens'. 'It's lucky he doesn't work for a supermarket,' Andy says. 'This isn't a case of 'two for the price of one'. This is a case of the British public not wanting it at any price.'
Andy says that he will argue within the trade union movement for a change of position, so that outright opposition to the cards is replaced with cast iron guarantees about control of information. 'Right or wrong, this will be bullied through Parliament. If that is a fact, our campaign must now change to limiting what information the government will hold on these cards.
'They are called Identity Cards. Our efforts now will be to ensure that this is the only function for which they are used.'
Andy Reed is to call for a 'Committee of Public Safety' made up of representatives across the community to monitor and control any extention of information held on ID Cards.
'We may not be able to defeat the government on the issue: but we can fight to defend the public from its excesses,' he said.

Hey bb's
I wanted to write about this topic because it's an important one that I feel people don't really talk about. One of the advantages I have during this discussion is that I am both a photographer and an influencer. So I will do my best to touch on this while looking at both perspectives.
Photo credit: It's something you see a ton of meme's about, and something you hear a lot of chatter about.
If you're in a rush, I'll make this super short for you. Unless you set your photo device on a tripod or timer and did it yourself, it is a collaborative effort between you and another person. That person deserves to be acknowledged for their work. End. Of. Discussion.
If you have the time, I'll try and make this fun for you, or at the very least interesting.
When I first started as a blogger photographer, what feels like a gazillion years ago, I worked with a few up and coming bloggers. There was the late and great, Kyrzayda. Jessica of Heygorjess, Jeanne of thegreylayers, and many many more. These three clients are a huge part of how I got my name out there. Aside from being content creators, what do all of these three women have in common? They fought for photo credit on my behalf.
These women covered lifestyle, fashion, hair care, and many other topics. They worked with small brands, and MAJOR names. We're all familiar with seeing our favs on our favs IG. They often get reposted by companies we love. When these particular women would get reposted, oftentimes they noticed the company did not add photo credit. As a result, they would send them a message and request the addition of photo credit to the caption of the post. It's also good to note that these women also added a photo credit to their original post. This photo credit has also gone as far as getting other clients to reach out to me directly. Because of this, I've made some AMAZING friends.
Because of this action that many may find meaningless, over time, I've been hired by major names and I have been contacted for incredible opportunities.
My name is XX. I am contacting you because I saw the incredible work you do for ZZ and I would love to know how we can go about setting up a photo session.
Because of this "meaningless" action, I've been published in over 45 US and International publications. The act of giving me the credit that I very well deserved has directed people to the source of the photograph. Me, boo. Not you.
Have you ever asked your photographer what the rights to the images they take of you are? For example, I own 100% of the rights to all of my images. If you'd like to buy your images and resell them to a larger corporation, I'm happy to invoice you or you can connect the brand directly to me. In other words, unless you have a document that is giving you full rights and usage to your images, you have no business doing that.
Usually, that whole conversation can be avoided by adding photo credit. The company will then contact you and the photographer (because they now know that another human exists in the equation), and they request usage rights.
That's called professionalism.
I'll briefly and vaguely share this story. I had a client sell some images to a major, MAJOR brand. The brand retouched and distributed a number of the images I took of the client, using it in an international advertising campaign.
The client was very excited to be contacted by this major brand. In their excitement, they signed the rights to the images over as the owner of the images, completely disregarding the photography rights. In turn, the brand cut them a check for the actual campaign and purchased each image individually from them.
I sued them both. The end.
I have worked with clients and brands that request and purchase shared rights to the images. I have several client relationships where there is an understanding of where these images will go. The invoice reflects that understanding. Know that.
There are also instances where brands request that influencers don't add any add'l text to their caption. This has happened to me personally, and 7 out of 7 times I've gotten them to let go of that. At least try.
If a brand would like to repurpose your images, and you are the influencer, have a conversation with the photographer who worked with you on this.
Also, please spare me the "I paid for a service and the images should belong to me" mess. Would you walk into Gucci, pay $4k for a bag and then go re-sell it at your boutique. Maybe. But unless you're an authorized retailer, that's illegal.
Have the conversation. It's the professional thing to do. And if brands are trying to cut you checks for your images as an influencer, then it's a business at this point, and business requires professional behavior.
You don't do this by yourself. As a photographer, you are paying me for my talent. This includes my eye, my creativity, my knowledge and most importantly my experience. I want to be recognized for that. The image is of you, but WE did that TOGETHER.
Because after you go return all your clothes back to Zara, or you toss the brand outfit in the back of your closet, I have to go home and cull through a ton of photos. Then after culling, I have to edit the images individually. I deliver these images to you through a much more efficient service than Dropbox. I put in the work. I get it done. Acknowledge that.
If you're an influencer or client, have you ever seen one of your images on a companies website or Instagram? No credit to you, let alone the photographer. 1 million + likes. No one even knows who you are.
Wouldn't you be super upset? How do you think we feel, as the people who made you look that good? Granted, I'm sure you look nice on your own, but we elevated that.
I got into my car. I showed up at our session. I did the work. I delivered the work. The work was good. Why is it so hard to publicly acknowledge that?
A lot of you try this little "let's see how slick I can get and do the minimum" thing that personally drives me insane. So you just tag the photographer on the photo, along with the 723 brands you're wearing or wanting to get featured by. That. doesn't. count.
If it's hard to think of a way to credit the photographer, maybe this will help:
picture emoji: @photographerhandle
PC: @photographerhandle
Picture by: @photographerhandle
Pic: @photographerhandle
Image by: @photographerhandle
One of those will work for you. I promise.
I'm not a stickler for photo credit anymore. Mostly because my clients know how I roll, and I choose to work with like-minded people. I used to have it in my contract, but now I don't even have to do all of that. I also choose to seldom work with content creators as a photographer for personal reasons.
My fiancé takes my images, and unless I genuinely forget, I tag him every single time. I even reach out to brands for photo credit. Even if they don't do it. At least I tried. If I can take my Instagram bae, you can tag your photographer. Although Chase is actually a professional photographer but still. You get my point.
It's important to be recognized for the work that you have done. I can't tell you how many times I've heard "I was so good but then I shot with Denisse and that completely changed the game for me. Now all of these brands want to work with me!" I'm great at what I do, so that's rightfully stated. But that statement tells you that I brought something to the table that was substantial enough to increase the appetite of the demographic you are trying to feed. Why not acknowledge that?
Seriously, I'm asking. What is stopping you from tagging your photographer? Trust me. Please believe me when I say that no one is that pressed about your caption that they will like you less because you added picture credit. And if you think adding picture credit will somehow throw your page off or your aesthetic, then A) please don't ever ask me to take your picture, and B) get help.
The world and this industry are filled with so many opportunities. I think I speak for the majority of photographers when I say, we just want to see you win. Your win is literally our win when we are involved. But don't be the jerk who only puts their name on the class project.
It comes back to you, I promise.

After a busy few months in my business and a hectic few weeks in my social life I've definitely been feeling the need to turn inwards recently. First of all I launched and created an all new course, Self First, with Marie Houlden. It was the first time I co-created a course and I have loved every minute, but it has taken up a lot of time and energy, as I'm sure you can imagine.
As if that wasn't enough I decided to write a book simultaneously. I've been wanting to write a book for about 20 years and not got very far with it (i.e. nowhere), so I signed up to Leonie Dawson's 40 days to a finished book course, which was the impetus I needed to get my arse in gear. I didn't write my book in 40 days, but I did write 43,000 words in 20 days and in just over 2 months I have a pretty much finished book ready to put out into the world.
I'm now in the final finishing touches of the book and would love your input if you fancy having your say (I have already asked the women in my Life Reboot Camp but would love to hear from you too)…
The book is part memoir and part personal development. I take you on my journey over the past 20+ years as I experience an abusive relationship, a failed business, a miscarriage, a boss in handcuffs on the TV news, postnatal depression, moving from France to London then London to Mauritius, severe danger in childbirth and much more. Along the way I teach you what I learnt and share how you can adapt this to improve things in your own life, to be as happy as possible.
I would love your feedback on the following:
- The title
- The photo that will be the background on the book cover – it will be zoomed in on me, with text above and below
- The prologue
The title is…
How to be happy…no matter what sh!t life throws at you
Thoughts? Love it? Hate it? Can think of something better? Hit me with your honest opinion on this one! Feel free to message me or reply in the comments below (you can go anonymous if you want!)
Which photo do you prefer??
Lastly which prologue do you prefer?
Prologue 1 or Prologue 2
Again, feel free to share your honest thoughts on this…
How to be happy will be out on Amazon (paper book and Kindle) in June, to make sure you don't miss out on the lower pre-order price jump on my mailing list, as that's where I'll be announcing it first!
So that is why I've been hibernating a bit recently, turning inwards, and spending time recharging my batteries.
Loving our kittens
This week has mostly been about falling head over heels in love with our new rescue kittens (which I talked about getting last week). They are quite simply adorable and I can't get enough of them. What I am especially loving is seeing them go from the timid, terrified shaky balls of fur we first saw at the animal rescue centre, to the happy, playful, loving, confident kittens we have today, just one week later.
The only tricky bit is introducing the kittens to our rescue dogs and vice versa. It is a slow process but we are getting there. This is the only bit I find hard as it makes me very anxious.
Not too much kitty spam going on this week – but I am seriously loving having a cat on my lap again to watch TV 🙂
Discovering I enjoy running
When I was at school I had to run in PE lessons and in sports days. I hated it. I developed quickly and running in a shit bra with boobs this size was no joking matter! Although that was just part of it. I bloody hated running. Especially running in the cold and rain, in short skirts (I know!) in the UK.
I vowed I would never be a runner. Who would do that to themselves? Why do people put themselves through that? Then over the years I've dabbled in "running" (barely faster than a walk really) but never enjoyed anything other than the effects on my bum and thighs.
Last year I decided I wanted to really give it a go. I know it's good for my physical and mental health and I LOVE the natural park near our house where I can run. So I set myself the goal in January 2018 to run 5km, without stopping, by the end of the year.
I didn't quite make it but on 7th January 2019 (in the colder climes of winter in Europe) I finally ran my 5km non-stop. Since then I've run more or less 5km more or less once a week. And I finally have to admit to enjoying it.
I like the feeling of what my body can do.
I like how it allows my mind to completely wander.
Who'd have thought it?!?
It's only taken me 30+ years from my first cross country running PE lessons to now to go from hating it to enjoying it 😉
What about you? Do you run? Do you love it or hate it?
It's New Moon time
I've really discovered the effects of the moon on me and my moods recently (see my recent post about going crazy during the full moon here) and now it's time for the new moon to affect me. This weekend I was reading Ask and it is given by Esther and Jerry Hicks (full on woo-woo) and I had tons of big light bulb moments, revelations and "of course!" ahas.
It turns out I wasn't alone as it's a time for clarity, honesty with others and yourself and manifesting what you want to bring into your life.
I felt there was lots I still needed to deal with, and I got a sign I needed to go and walk to clear my head when our electricity was on and off this morning, making it tricky to work. So I headed out the door, with Tracy Chapman in my ears, a mix of the sun and rain on my face and walked.
I walked and walked for about an hour and a half. Soaking up the nature all around me and letting my mind wander wherever it needed to go. And I felt so much better for it.
Do you go for walks in nature to clear your head too? Can you feel the effects of the new moon on you at the moment?
This is the same walk that I did last week with the lovely Jane Ferré who I met through Helen Pritchard's LinkedIn Mastermind course last year. Jane is a fellow Brit who lives in the UK and helps professionals turn things around after redundancy, but she is married to a Mauritian so was over here, and I was delighted that we managed to catch up. Naturally we were too busy chatting to stop and take any photos 😉
I LOVE meeting online friends in real life and can't wait to meet loads of them when I'm back in the UK later this month. (Ridiculously excited actually!)
Cheeky lunch with 3/4 of the family
After my morning's walk Ben, Léna and I went out for a cheeky lunch just the three of us. As Léna is home schooled and Ben and I both work from home this is something we can do quite easily.
We popped out to a local restaurant and had the loveliest time talking about all sorts (light stuff like Chernobyl, World War II, the Cuban Missile Crisis!) and just enjoying some time together. Whilst I miss Baby Léna, Toddler Léna, Little Girl Léna and so on, I LOVE Tween Léna. She is so much fun to be around 🙂
And that is the week that was.
It's been wonderful to take some downtime and look inwards to get happier and more fulfilled. Self-awareness is pretty bloody amazing!
Have a fantastic week lovely! Don't forget to share your feedback on my book questions, either in the comments below (anonymously or not) or via email to email@example.com
Big love,

I know it seems crazy to some, but that tree was up for almost a whole month! I thought that it was going to be a little extra busy this year with the new baby coming, so I started getting ready for the holiday earlier than usual. By the time Christmas rolled around, the tree was so dry. It had a funky smell and the branches broke off just by touching them. The once perky branches were hanging as low as they could go, ornaments were falling, it was a mess. It had to go. Soon. So the morning of the 26th, we tore it down. It was trash day. The recycling said they would pick them up, up to 8 ft, so John had to cut off the top for them to accept it. Kind of sad, but it had to be. Goodbye tree.
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. 3 John 1:4

Christmas Day
John, Rachel, Emily and Joshua spent the night on Christmas Eve. Jessi, Ariel, Josiah, Arianna and Lina (still in their pjs) came back the next morning for breakfast. Of course we had the traditional oatmeal pancakes along with hashbrowns and pepper bacon.
Emily and Joshua all ready for the day.
We headed over to Great Grandma's place for the big family dinner.
The table now goes all the way into the next room, but we still all sat down to eat at one table, which makes Great Grandma pretty proud. Lindy's son David and his wife Beth and their kids, Meri, Luke, Nate, Ellie and Sam came from Colorado this year. Matt and Karely and Bane were there too, so Lindy was a pretty happy Mom. We had a fun time together, eating, playing, opening gifts, hot tubing and all the things that make our holiday.

Christmas Eve.
It is so nice to have the house full of kids again. It seems like that is how it always was and then suddenly they grew up and were gone. Of course Christmas is always nice, but that spark was lacking. But now, they have returned with their arms full of kids!! It is fun to shop for toys again, even though the toys are different from the ones my kids had when they were growing up. Sometimes, I have no idea what it is that I am looking for when they tell me something they want.
We started out the evening with a steak and salmon dinner. Afterwards, Josiah and Arianna passed out the gifts to everyone from them. Then Joshua and Emily passed out what they brought. It is really amazing to have your grandkids hand them something they have just for you.
Then it was time for the grandkids to open what we gave them. Those crazy little ones had to be talked into setting aside what they had just opened in order to get on with the unwrapping of the other gifts that were there for them. They loved everything! Little Lina didn't get what all the fuss was about.
This coming year is a special birthday for Emily, her Sweet 16. We have been asking her for a long time where her dream place would be to travel to. She said Hawaii. So this year for Christmas we announced to them that we will be taking both of them. In order to get their gift, they had to open up the gifts that led to it...starting with a bucket and shovel, sunscreen, flipflops, beach towell, beach ball, a lei, and a tiki glass...by the time they got to the final paper, they had pretty much figured out they were going somewhere beachy. But they were pretty shocked to find out it was Hawaii. It is going to be so much fun, probably more fun for me than them.

I just love it that John and Rachel were married in December because that means every year I get to have a whole weekend with Emily and Joshua while they celebrate their anniversary. This year was their 18th anniversary. Even though Emily and Joshua are getting older, there are a few things that stay on the schedule of things to do while they are here. One is to have them help me make popcorn balls.
The next is to take a drive to see Christmas lights.
And we just have to get to Lloyd Center and go ice skating.
This year it was also the same weekend that Josiah and Arianna had their Christmas at their church. Lina slept through it all.
Josiah decided he didn't want to sing the song. Instead he just stood there. Arianna went through all the motions.
Here he is checking out what she is doing.
So, he didn't want to do it, but he had to show her how to do it right.
I could not believe it...it was just too much for him to stand through the whole song...it had me cracking up. (not his mom) well, at least he didn't just walk off.

Introducing Lina Louisa!
She was scheduled to be delivered by cesarean on 12/13/14, but God had another plan and Jessi went in to labor on 12/11/14. Actually she had been having labor pains off and on for a few days. Finally she was convinced that this was the real thing and we all headed into the hospital. Sure enough the doctor decided that Lina was going to make an early appearance. It all happened so fast! I was pretty excited that once again, I was able to put on scrubs and go into the delivery room to photograph the arrival. What an awesome experience it was once again. At times, I got so caught up in things that I had to remind myself to shoot! The doctor cut Jessi open, and there were a few whispers about the fluid, etc...but it was pretty much quiet as the doctor announced it was a girl as expected and she was really big and healthy. And then...the cry...it was as if everyone had been holding their breath to hear it. I looked over at Jessi, tears were dripping down her face. Ariel was beaming. It just never gets old. Every birth is a wonder. Lina weighed in at 9 pounds 12 ounces! Just a little shy of being a 10 pounder. I can't believe it, she sure looks tiny to me. Josiah, Arianna and Grandpa waited for us in the labor room and both kids were beaming and jumping up and down as they wheeled Jessi and baby back into the room. Both kids just adore her.
We were able to keep them overnight for the two nights Jessi and Ariel were at the hospital with Lina. That was so fun for us to have them for so long all to ourselves. Each day we would take them up to see Mommy, Poppy and Lina and then it was so fun to bring them back with us again. Saturday night they were picked up by their parents on their way home from the hospital. The house was so quiet. We started putting things back in place. I just loved what I found on one of the Nativity sets. I have three of them and the kids love to play with them. Arianna especially likes to feed the animals and have everyone, including the animals lay down to nap. Anyway, I am not sure who did it, maybe it was both of them, but I just had to smile when I found one of the Nativities looking like this...
We have been busy going back and forth to see if there is anything we can do to help them all adjust and get in a few cuddles with the new little girl. Today, we took them to the mall to visit Santa. Jessi had them wear the little Christmas outfits I bought them a few weeks back. They were a hit as we paraded into see Santa.
The girls dresses don't quite show up in this photo, but they have the cutest little red fluffy skirts. I hope Josiah will not take it out on me too hard someday when he looks back at this outfit.

The offseason hype machine turned Garoppolo into a mix of Joe Namath, John Elway and Superman.

Communicating corporate failures can be a tricky situation. For starters, no one really looks forward to getting bad news, because – let's face it – it is not fun or exciting. In fact, you may likely feel a knot in your stomach in anticipation of the disappointment yet to come. While a normal reaction, how do you address the problem without launching a negative ripple-effect of events with concerned stakeholders or trusting consumers?
In my experience, it's all about how you prepare your conversation. Let's explore a corporate example to see how this works.
In 2019 Google Makes the Choice to Close the Failing Google+
Ever since it's inception in 2010, Google+ has appeared to be the awkward "wanna-be" to the highly popular Facebook social network. For years, I have seen professionals struggle with understanding the role or purpose of having a Google+ account when other communities like Facebook, Linkedin, and Twitter have thrived as the leaders in social media. But now, the search engine giant has made a decision to shut down their attempt at participating in a social media network for good and focus upon their business users and improving new features to support enterprise communications. Why? More importantly…why now?
Realizing that Google+ has been struggling for years to even be considered a serious social community contender, the real problem surfaced in early 2018 when Google, rather calmly announced that over 500,000 Google+ users data had been exposed to third-party developers via a bug in their program that went undetected in their infrastructure since 2015. Communicating corporate failures from a corporate stakeholder perspective seem logical when they're doing their best to their losses instead of investing more money into an already dying product. But for those avid fans who are still relying on the community for daily communications. It going away could leave them feeling angry or unappreciated. While there is a risk of losing these customers to other platforms; honesty is the best policy, and honestly sharing their situation may deflect anger and allow them to embrace logical sympathy.
A Great Example How to Accentuate the Positive
In a very well prepared conversation, Google announced publically that they were going to shut down the struggling social network and at the exact same time, emphasized their new focus on privacy and their position to give users more control over the data they share with the Apps that collaborate with Google. They came clean and took responsibility for their error through public admission; and admitted they learned a valuable lesson. But still, critics arose in both social media and technology communities pointing fingers at all of the users they've left in the lurch. These articles circulate randomly around the internet causing that "social anxiety" complex, but in reality, did Google really leave those users in the lurch?
Sure, they'll have to make a change to their comfortable routine; but they have a more robust community to go to like Facebook. Additionally, they gave their users advance warning and specific step-by-step directions on what to do to download their data so nothing important is lost. What more could they ask for? I mean if this was a human dying, wouldn't it be great if someone gave you directions on download all their memories before they were gone for good? Sure change is difficult, but without change, our minds are unable to grow and evolve.
Handling Damage Control
The real thing Google needs to focus on here is their users – those individuals and communities who have used this product and placed their trust in Google. While the critics see them delivering a 1-2 punch with news of a data breach and – to make matters worse – they're going to evicting them from the community altogether forcing them to relocate their connections and conversations elsewhere; there is a graceful way to approach this sticky situation.
While there may be no easy way to say it or get around a bad situation, the best thing to do is to focus on the next step and keep moving forward. The Google team did an excellent job of this by providing a wide range of customer support documents that cover everything you needed to know about the saving your content, and preparing for the closure of their Google+ profile.
The Moral of This Story
We can all learn from the mistakes of others – even the giants. It takes a strong person/company to admit to mistakes, but sometimes, even a stronger community to work together and move forward.

In a couple days, my wife and I, along with 13 of our closest friends, will embark on the trip of a lifetime. Ever since our college days we have been talking and dreaming about taking a trip to Yellowstone, however for the past few years nobody had taken the initiative to book the trip. On a cold snowy night this past winter, one of the wise couples in our group decided to go ahead and book a cabin and whoever committed would reserve a spot on the trip. Although this was risky not knowing how many people would actually commit, and knowing full-well the two of them could end up enjoying a lonesome 15 person cabin, it was the best decision they have ever made. In less than 10 hours of the cabin being booked, 15 people swore an oath to have the trip of a lifetime.
A few weeks after the initial excitement had settled down, we quickly realized we would need to be strategic with our planning in order to make time for all the things we wanted to do. A few priorities are …
- Flyfish the Yellowstone River
- Horseback ride through the park
- Enjoy a steak dinner around the fire with cowboys, harmonica, and coffee as thick as mud
- Hike a handful of mountains
- Show off our midwestern line dancing skills
- Explore some of the main attractions in Yellowstone
I am beyond ecstatic to explore the Yellowstone National Park and set the hook on that first rainbow trout (hopefully sooner than later in the trip), however, I am most excited for the memories that will be made.
I am excited to spend a day hiking, however, the memory will be standing on top of the mountain with my wife by my side, looking over God's creation.
I cannot wait to catch some fish, however, the memory will be looking downstream and seeing my best friends wading in the river, probably with their fly-lines tangled around their knees, going after that record trout.
The feeling of sitting under the stars with a hot cup of joe will be unforgettable, but it's the stories told that will create a lasting memory.
Over the past three years of working at LifeShare, I have had the opportunity to hear some great stories from world-class travelers. I have talked to people who have backpacked the Appalachian Trail, couples who have camped the summer in Glacier National Park with nothing but a sleeping bag and cooking utensils, friends who have spent months on end fishing for Salmon in Alaska. The stories I have heard can go on and on, but the one commonality between all of them are the lasting memories that were made. I can picture all the events that are told (backpacking with friends, camping with a sleeping bag resting beside a fire, reeling in salmon after salmon), but I can't picture the untold memories that were made. Memories are something you share with the people you are with, and the people you love. Although I have a goal of catching a record trout on a mediocre fly rod, it's the memories we will make that I am looking forward to the most.
Where did you go on your trip of a lifetime? What memories do share from the experience?
