How to Write Storyline Essay?Submitted by adam09 on Wed, 01/10/2018 - 09:53.
There are people who are loyal to the art of essay writing. They know that they can write an essay as a tale; it is an expressive method to write an essay. Writing an essay as a tale requires composition and formation of words with fictional strategy. You should create a storyline essay in the way to attract your audience from the beginning of your essay.
A storyline essay is a story that can be about a fake story or a common incidence of somebody else's life, and not specifically of the writer. Storyline essay should have a plan for tales that are namely linked by actions. Quality plan requires a beginning, peak point, and ending. A plan of storyline essay must be dynamic and fascinating. You should allow readers to feel instants in your essay.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do you deliver and setup the rental RV?
Yes we can deliver your rental holiday trailer to the approved campsite of your choice. There will be a delivery/setup fee charged, this fee is determined by the distance from either Vernon or Salmon Arm.
2. Can I tow the rental RV myself?
Yes we do allow some of our rental holiday trailers to be towed, you must be at least 25 years old, hold a valid drivers licence, have trailer towing experience and a tow vehicle rated for the trailer weight. Typically a trailer will weigh between 3000lbs (20 foot rental RV) up to 10,000 plus pounds. A good rule of thumb for your tongue weight is 10% of the trailers total weight. We recommend a weight distribution hitch for ALL rental holiday trailers with a 2 5/16th ball rated for the trailer weight as well you will require a trailer brake controller in the tow vehicle. There is also a one hour orientation, whereas we will go over the set up and tear down of your rental trailer at a cost of $75.00. Towing over gravel or rough roads is strictly prohibited, other than the entrance, no more than 1km, to the campground.
3. Do I pay kilometer charges when towing my own rental RV?
There may be km charges if going outside the Okanagan / Shuswap area, please call for details.
4. Are your rental RV's pet friendly?
Yes depending on the breed and age of your pet we can make exceptions to our NO Pet policy. If we agree, in writing, to allow your pet on board there will be an additional cost of $20 per day and there may be an additional cleaning fee and this will be the sole decision of UMI Trailer Rentals.
5. What if I don't want to clean the Rental RV?
No problem. If you make prior arrangements to not clean your rental holiday trailer then we are prepared for that and the cleaning charge will be $50 minimum to a max of $100 depending on carpets. If you do not make prior arrangements for not cleaning the minimum charge will be $100. To avoid cleaning charges please insure the rental RV is in the same condition as you received it.
6. Are the rental RV's insured?
Yes all the units are 100% insured and in case of major damage the deductible is $500.00 which the renter would have to pay.
7. What areas do you service?
We service the entire Okanagan Valley and Shuswap, which includes Vernon, Salmon Arm, Armstrong, Kelowna, Enderby, Penticton, Scotch Creek and all points in-between. Delivery charges will vary depending on location.
8. What is supplied in the RV Rental unit?
All holiday rental trailers are fully stocked except for bedding, bath supplies, food and beverages. For a complete list of what the rental RV has, please download the inventory list for your holiday trailer or contacts us.
9. Do all holiday rental trailers come with AC?
Yes all rented trailers come with AC, but keep in mind that your site needs either 30 amp service or you will need an RV generator with enough amperage to run the AC unit. AC units should not be run continuously especially if they are not shaded as they will freeze up.
10. Do all rental RV's come with furnaces for heat and AC?
All our rental RV's come with heat and AC, but keep in mind that if you are not hooked up to power, the furnace will drain the battery quickly so we do recommend an extra battery in the cooler shoulder seasons. As well our AC Units require a 30 amp service, they will NOT run on batteries. Some may run on a clean 20 amp service but this is not recommended as damage to the unit can occur if the voltage is less than 108 volts. You will also have to shut off everything else that you may be using power for such as fridges and hot water tanks as an AC unit typically draws 12-14 amps and a fridge alone on electric will draw 9 amps for a total of 21-23 amps. We will not guarantee the AC will work with less than 30 amp service.
11. Does the rental RV come with a battery?
Your Rental RV will come with a fully charged battery, but if you are dry camping we recommend a generator and a maybe a spare battery, you must remember that an RV battery is no different from a car battery, so it will drain in a short period if you are leaving non LED lights on or running the stereo for any length of time.
12. Is there a cleaning fee for the septic system?
Yes there is a $35 charge for cleaning out the septic tank….sorry but its a nasty job!
13. Will you be at the camping site when we arrive?
One of our representatives will be on site when you arrive to go over the operation of the rental RV and the damage report. The only time we would not be on site, is if you are a repeat client and are confident with the operation of an RV and in this case a wavier would be needed and a completed damage list will be left in the rental RV for you.
14. What time do we have to check in?
Your check in time will be determined ahead of your arrival. It is very important that you are on time. If you are more than 30 minutes late there may be late check in fees of $100 and we may not be able to return to check you in for several hours.
15. When do I have to check out?
Check out time will be pre-determined before your arrival, as a rule the latest would be 10 am unless other arrangements have been made. If you are late checking out there will be a late checkout fee of $100 per hour.
16. What happens if the rental RV I booked is in an accident or is damaged before my arrival?
In the VERY RARE instants when a holiday trailer is damaged and is not rent-able, we will switch you to a comparable rental RV, if we do not have one available we will refund your entire rental including any deposits. As stated this is VERY RARE.
17. What happens if we can't come, do we lose all our money?
If you are unable to make your trip, we will try and re book your rental RV, if we are able to re book for the same time period that you have the holiday trailer booked for we will refund your rental fees less your booking deposit. If we are not able to re book the holiday trailer we will not be able to refund your payments, we will then try and work with you to re book your holiday for another time up to 1 year from your original booking. We also offer trip cancellation insurance, for more details please ask your booking agent.
18. Are there additional fees?
Yes, depending on the type of rental and duration (U-Tow or delivery) there are extra fees, such as $65 prep fee, which includes propane, paper products, cleaning supplies and holding tank deodorizer. $35 holding tank clean out if not at a site with septic hookup. Delivery fees will apply if we are delivering and there is a kilometer charge for U-Tows which needs to be determined before we can confirm your rental at $.10 per kilometer. There is also insurance and orientation fees for U-Tows depending on your experience, typically these are $75 for insurance and $75 for orientation. Also with U-Tows you will need a hitch rated for the truck and trailer
Insurance: UMI Trailer Rentals cargo and utility provides limited coverage in the form of third party liability and you understand that this is excess or secondary to your insurance coverage. You the customer assumes sole responsibility for any and all liability that exceeds the applicable minimum limits of protection for that province. RV's are covered with full insurance and a fee of $75.00 will apply to ALL U-TOW RV's.
Many insurers have add on policies such as Roadstar which covers rented tow vehicles.
Once you have booked and paid for your rental Cargo or Utility trailer and you need to cancel you will be given a credit for future rentals only. All charges for utility and cargo trailers are charged to your credit card at time of booking. See FAQ #17 for more information.
20. Mechanical Failures
We strive to make sure all equipment in the RV's is operational and working properly, but from time to time problems will occur. If a problem does present itself we will try our best to either talk you through the issue or we will dispatch a company rep to see if it can be fixed if it is determined that we may be able to rectify the problem. We do not discount the rental for unforeseen problems.

Recent years have seen increasing demands on midsize organisations to ensure compliance with changing legal, financial and governance regulations. As such, data protection is often viewed as an onerous 'tax' on ITIT budgets – a necessary evil to keep the regulators at bay.However this paper will argue that the performance, collaboration and governance of a midsize organisation can improve immediately if its operations are based on a secure, consolidated and open information infrastructure.

Syndicated columnist Suzanne Fields has a problem that is symptomatic of many political writers in the mainstream media today. She isn't looking at reality from a standpoint of an American. Instead, she's promoting magical thinking from the standpoint of a ideologue who is blind to any idea she deems a threat to the borders of her ideology. It's one of the most dangerous viewpoints to buy into, and fewer Americans today - fewer than ever - are buying into it.
Fields' journalistic attempt to raise President George W. Bush and Newt Gingrich to the level of a Biblical prophet is incredibly insulting to the sensibilities of most Americans who envision a better world and share common values, especially when she lends her opinion that those inspired by the Koran subscribe to an Apocalyptic belief, knowing fully well that a fundamentalist's view of the Bible is no different. What is doubly insulting is that Fields is appealing for us to bind together while employing a stark ideological rationale. Ms. Field reaches for the lowest common denominator to make a ludicrous point.
An obvious partisan who will say just about anything to punish a non-Republican, Fields is willing to brazenly trash the longstanding American tradition of foreign-policy diplomacy in order to support a small group of people who hijacked that traditional foreign policy when George W. Bush was shoe-horned into power and whose collective ideology, up to this time, has proven to to a bitter failure in action, stoking the fires of extremism in our world for six long years - generating war where war never had to happen.
Fields should be ashamed of writing a piece of trash like this column, but I'm sure she would never see it that way. There are none so blind as those who will not see. If this opinion sounds particularly strong to you, it's because I'm sick and tired of colunmists who are so irresponsible that they would employ such garbage reasoning in their mainstream journalism, and I'm angry with our country's print news papers for printing such trash. When you subscribe to a prophecy of doom, all you get is more doom. We need idea political columnists who are not cheerleading magical-thinking dolts whose imaginations are only as wide as their ideological borders.
- Calling Mitt Romney a prophet for what amounts to making equivocal statements when contrasting Russian communism with extremism in the Middle East.
- Calling McCain a prophet for wanting to pull Israel into NATO at the worst possible time in history to do so. (Walter Isaacson and I have a much better idea - when are we going into the Bible with Newt 'n Mitt, already??)
- Calling Bush a prophet because his unforgiveable failures are "unpopular" now, but maybe someday...
- Attacking John Edwards for daring to state the glaringly obvious - we need to pull all nations in the region into diplomatic dealings.

1 pointAn open letter to MAXON CEO David McGavran David, I'm afraid we need to talk. I've came to Cinema 4D on r12. My first 3d program was 3ds Max, but a few years using it I felt it's stuck on evolution and I decided to move. Since then, Cinema 4D is my trusty and beloved home, the best piece of software I've got on my computer, the thing I rely on, my leaving and career relies on. I trusted it not only because of the features and quality it's got, but because the MAXON team's vision of the future, the attention they have to their work and management relation to community formed around. I was one of them when C4D was known as "not serious" amongst many 3d artists, I'm one of them now when it's (still) rocking 3d world. In recent years since MAXON announced the shift to a new core architecture a was waiting passionately to see it. Finally we stepped through the Rubicon and an unprecedented power uncovered to our vision, promising so many new things to expect! And now... Now it starts to seem like all that glory made by devs is going to crumble under a pressure of new freaking management approach. I know where you've came from, Dave. But the things Adobe did to their policy is the reason we leave, run away from them and try to substitute their products as much as possible as it's dangerous to rely on them nowadays. And the former MAXON relation to customer and the whole community on the other side are the reasons we adored this company and growingly loved Cinema 4D. I am SHOCKED to see these precursors of some very ugly changes to MAXON policy in recent time, this weak and humble evolvement of program in the last release, exactly in the such important point of it's history, when it shifts to top league, promising such a great functionality I'm afraid we would not see already. You could call me "headlong" for saying all of this, but nope - I saw such thing already (Canon, Apple, Adobe, Autodesk) and I have a distinct feeling of what's going on and what's coming next. Get me right, it's not personal (yet), you may be awesome in person, but where you start to lead us to - ISN'T WHERE WE WANT TO GO. And THERE IS a choice, and despite it would be a harsh shift like leaving a childhood home, we will shift if you keep it going. Not tomorrow, not in a year, but we will. Remember the death of "immortal" 3ds Max, you know what I'm talking about. I feel worrying for the YEARS AND YEARS of my hard work learning and mastering Cinema 4D. I feel worried for my entire career I relied on Cinema 4D. I feel the move you're taking is DISHONEST to us, the whole community, about like XSI murder by Autodesk felt. I, personally, considered subscription option, despite it's pretty pricey (but It's your right to set pricing, ok). But seeing the movement of recent time I opted not to. No because the release is weak for a major number, no - because I don't want to support the movement in that direction. I don't want MAXON to go there. You're clearly taking the Adobe route. They told us the same - "constant updates with no need to wait untill release will let us push more cutting-edge features right on your table, increasing development pace will push the boundaries of your possiblilities and creativivivity way beyond today's standards" and so on and so on. What did this spaghetti on our ears turned into? You know by yourself - sluggish, buggy, unreliable software, from release to release bringing NOTHING we needed, nothing we were asking for DECADES (as folders in AE timeline for instance). For the price many times more adequate, growing constantly with no reason. Subscription? This isn't the key. I'm glad it exists, despite it's pricey I think, but it's on your side. It's good there is an option, this isn't a problem. The problem is the whole approach you try to take. "The whole Cinema4D experience is moving into the modern online world" as MRalph said. Let's face it, "online" is simply lidicrous here. "Online" - is a steel wire you tie us to yourself. Adobe did so, and as a result - constant stream of money made them not a software developers, but rather a typical rentier. That is what you try to do to OUR world, right? Recently I wrote an extensive list of improvements for C4D, spending my working time and thoughts to have a chance to make it better. Because I love it and wish to it to evolve. And I was sure if I mail it to MAXON, I have a chance to be heard, as our goal is the same. Now I feel like soon there would be no one to listen to us. Not even considering that, just like Adobe does. Isn't it a right time to stop and take a step backwards, Dave?
1 pointXpresso - I thin it worth to start a standalone topic on that, I have many thoughts how it should be evolving. Basically, I'll suggest you to take a look at some Houdini nodes. And especially - a way to procedurally select and manipulate points of the mesh. That alone would increase Xpresso power drastically
1 pointThanks so much Dan! I've been watching your you tube video and it's really helpful. Although I'm not new to 3D, I'm reasonably new to c4d, and I appreciate the way your video goes over some foundation stuff stuff too. Subscribed to your YT channel, many thanks for your contributions to the community This forum has got to be one of the most helpful and friendly software forums I've come across, it really is appreciated.
1 pointThis is really fun. And shows that the dynamics in C4D is precise and accurate. Here is the video on YouTube that inspired me to test it in C4D: My project is attached. Have fun! -Ingvar The Dzhanibekov Effect.c4d
1 pointOkay, I'll know now) Thanks
1 pointHe he, we are connected! It is called quantum entanglement, or Spooky action at a distance https://www.cnet.com/news/einstein-called-it-spooky-action-here-is-an-image-of-it-for-the-first-time/ -Ingvar
1 pointThe house building tool was made by NItro4D. Sounds like MAXON didn't want to pay to have him update it to work with R21. He does have some great tools on Nitro4D.com that he says will be updated to R21 shortly. The box one sounds interesting.
1 pointThank you for your feedback. I have been on here and other forums reading all the responses. I am someone who loves talking to customers. I will be at IBC and very happy to chat to anyone who comes by. I will also be at many of the European stops on our roadshow. I am not ever going to write long responses on forums, never seems to go well. I am here, I am reading and the team is as focused on working with our customers as ever. Hope we get to meet in person. Cheers Dave
1 pointNo, quite the opposite - The Poly Extrude Tool is one of the the primary and most legitimate ways of turning poly primitives into the forms you want ! But separate to that is the Extrude Object, which is used with splines to generate 3D forms. It is with those you need to be very careful because that type of Extrude cannot give you a flawless all-quads result on caps for example... but even that has a Regular grid Function that can minimize the negative effects of problem topology here. What it can't do is eliminate triangles completely. This may not matter on flat surfaces, or surfaces that don't require deformation or further editing, but on surfaces that do you will quickly come unstuck were you to let these triangles pass... The primary things that are bad form in SDS poly modelling are: Ngons (polys with more than 4 sides) Triangles Coplanar quads (polys with corner angles of more than 89 degrees) Degenerate Polygons (polys with coindicent points) Complex Poles (more than 5 edges converging at a single point) Uneven topology Bad or unsuitable Edge Flow Insufficient topology Coincident Geometry Non-manifold Edges SDS edge or point weighting (except in very specific circumstances) Boolean operations (without subsequent clean-up). I suppose, for the sake of thoroughness, we should also have the 'hero list' of excellent SDS modelling attributes ! 100% quads No Complex Poles Not one polygon more or less than you need to describe the form (polygon efficiency) Even poly distribution and regularity (to the extent the form permits) Ideal and thoughtful Edge Flow based on intended mesh use and form factor Precision and accuracy Forward planning (Grand Masters of modelling can think 20+ moves ahead and see danger coming !).

You provide care round the clock every day of the year, and many of us who now work at the RCN have been in your shoes at some point in our careers, including myself.
For nursing staff this time of year can often be more stressful than any other, as temperatures drop and resources are often spread across health care more thinly due to winter cocktails of staff sickness and annual leave as well as an increased number of patients who are unwell.
You'll know more than most that the NHS is facing a very difficult winter and New Year, trying to deal with increasing patient demand and cope with 42,000 nursing vacancies. Already NHS performance has dipped to worrying levels with one in ten hospital trusts in England at full capacity on at least one day in just the first week of this month (December).
The NHS desperately needs more beds, but can't open them without more nurses to staff them. That's why we'll be sharing more news and information in the New Year about an important RCN campaign for safe and effective care.
Over the winter months you need to make sure you stay healthy, not just for yourself but for your family and those that you care for.
There is a great deal of advice around ways to ensure you remain well and healthy and our Healthy Workplace, Healthy You pages are a good place to start.
If this is something you feel strongly about then you should consider signing up to become one of our health and safety reps. All our reps receive training and support from us to fulfil their role so it's a great way to enhance your career as well as improve your workplace environment.
If there is a reason you need support from the RCN over the bank holidays you can rest assured that our helplines are covered from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm every day of the year and you can speak to one of our trained advisers on 0345 772 6100. Alternatively, take a look at our comprehensive advice guides on our Get Help and Advice pages.
If you do manage to take time off or if you're working then I hope you enjoy the festivities and join us all in looking forward to a healthy start to 2019.

On the Nightstand
The Kids, bless their hearts, hearing that I had never read any of the Harry Potter books (yes, it's true...it started out that, during the height of Harry-mania, I could never get my hands on one of the books at our local library, and then I just got busy and never followed up)...got me Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I got started during our stay in Brooklyn, and read more on the plane on the way home. It's great fun; and there's a Dickensian quality to the matter-of-fact way in which J.K. Rowling portrays Harry's ghastly pre-Hogwarts life that I think may resonate with many young readers, along with that note of hope -- that the despised "other," the one who doesn't fit in, the sufferer, can be a hero for others and the hero of his or her own life story. That's pretty cool.
A wonderful surprise was Julia Child's classic Mastering the Art of French Cooking, which Fellow Traveler told me she ordered shortly after we went to see the film Julie/Julia. My foodie heart went pitter-patter as I tore open the wrapping paper. While I have no aspirations to replicate Julie Powell's blogged journey throughout the entirety of the cookbook, we did talk about maybe doing a "Julia" meal once a week.
Two books, also cookbooks, were explicitly on my wish list: Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day and Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day, both by Zoe Francois and Jeff Hertzberg, a pastry chef and scientist/amateur bread baker who have come up with methods for creating no-knead yeasted bread doughs that can be kept in the refrigerator and broken off as needed for fresh, artisan-quality loaves. While I love the ease of a bread machine, it has its limits; so I'm really interested in trying out some of these recipes, even though it means a willing suspension of my disbelief in most things "new and improved."
Finally, a book I gave myself for Christmas/my birthday: Gertrud Mueller Nelson's To Dance With God, a book about sanctifying home life through ritual; something I want to do more of in our own household and a concept I'd like to share in our own faith community and beyond.
My only regret in all of this: I can't find my booklight, which I think I am going to need as I work my way through all these wonderful books!

I've read all the HP, and own Julia and To Dance with God (can't say I've read all of Julia though)-- I know I've made at least 3 recipes from JC, boeuf bourguignon, coq au vin, and cheese souffle. We used her The Way to Cook for Sisterfilms' buche de noel birthday cake. I've read about these bread things. Since I have a mixer with a dough hook I think I need to try just ordinary bread baking first, though. But the idea of rising in the refrigerator calms my fear that my kitchen is too chilly for yeast.
- LutheranChik said...
We don't have an ideal place to raise dough either, so I too am looking forward to experimenting with the refrigerator risings. As far as the Julia book, I think one of my big interests is the sauce chapter, because -- well, because I'm not good at them; and a well-made sauce can gussy up a very plainly cooked dish.
Julia Day may well morph into Cookbook Day in general because we have so many of them; and I'm feeling an urge to make some retro comfort food from my mama's old cookbooks. As far as that goes, I may even revisit Mrs. Beeton's venerable tome for a Victorian main dish or two.
- zorra said...
I'll be interested in your take on the Francois/Hertzberg methods. I tried making and using refrigerator dough for the first time at Thanksgiving, and those rolls were so successful I did it again for Christmas. I think if you punch it down every day it should keep for a week or so.
- altar ego said...
Ooh, I've got GMN's To Dance with God and love it. It is a wonderful book for smaller parishes, as well as families. In fact, it inspired a break from traditional pancakes on Shrove Tuesday to a fun and festive "Taco Tuesday" event that kids, especially, enjoy.
I hope the bread cooks are a triumph. Keep us posted!
- LutherPunk said...
We started baking bread using the Francois Hertzberg technique, and now use the recipes all the time. Our bread machine sits gathering dust. What we have found to be most central is having a good baking stone and a decent pizza peel. Also, with the sourdough, the longer you leave he dough in the fridge, the more complex and wonderful the flavors.
Enjoy! We have!

So, you didn't get into the London Marathon but you still want to run that marathon you promised everyone (including yourself) you would! Well, look no further – introducing the MK Marathon.
A course that combines history, modern architecture and a stadium finish, the MK marathon is more than just your normal race. With awesome medals, a superhero race for the kids to get involved in and both half & full marathons to run – there is an event for every level of runner!
Recently we spoke to founder and race director Andy Hully about the Marathon and why you should sign up!
"We have just been awarded BARR Gold Status for the highest standards of race organisation and provision." In simpler terms this means that the team over at MK put on a great race, runner safety is the top priority and Andy wants to make sure the runners have the most enjoyable day possible.
So, being awarded BARR Gold Status is all well and good, but if you are looking for some cool medals to start (or add to) your collection, then MK is the marathon for you. Check these medals out:
It's no secret that a lot of runners choose certain events just to get their hands on medals! And with these pieces of pure art up for grabs, it's hard to see many people staying away.
Medals aside, why else should you run MK Marathon? "Well, it has to be the course!" says Andy immediately. "We have spent many months taking on board past runners' comments and then created a course that we think is going to be great for everyone! Honestly it is simply amazing – I've been round it various times on my bike now and it just keeps getting better."
So, if the awesome medals, the great Race Director and course haven't whet your appetite yet, then perhaps the crowds of good people can. In its fifth year now, the amount of participants keep on increasing and the money the event raises for charity is becoming seriously impressive too (over £1m last 3 years). Maybe take a look at the pictures from last year; they're bound to get you on side.
Now that you're on board (don't forget to sign up) let's talk race day. So it's your first time running MK, what should be expecting? Well according to Andy, you should "expect a picturesque run, which will make it easier, believe me." On top of this, in case you have forgotten, the finish line is in the Stadium MK, which Andy says is 'unbelievable and emotional'.
And if running a marathon hasn't already reduced you to an emotional wreck, then having hundreds of people greeting you and cheering you home to the finish line certainly will.
Sound good? Right then, sign up, start making a difference for a cause you love – and for this month only you could win some great training gear!

You are thinking about building a custom home because you don't want something ordinary You've been dreaming of a distinctive home that's a perfect fit for your family, as well as your budget. We'd love to meet you! Contact us today!
If you can dream it, we can build it.
"We had always heard how stressful it can be to build a new home. We found the perfect builders in Tony Johnson and his wife Cathy, the owners of Bridgeport Homes. They made the process simple, taking us through all the steps in a caring and understanding way. My wife and I could not have been more pleased to have such wonderful people come into our lives. They understood what we needed and turned our dreams into reality. Throughout the process, they listened to our ideas and created exactly what we wanted. They never discouraged us in any way - from the pouring of the foundation until the day the keys were handed over and we walked into our new home. If I build another home, I would turn to them to make that dream come true."
We really enjoyed working with Tony and Cathy at Bridgeport Homes. So much so, that we are on our second home with them. They show patience, courtesy, and are extremely gifted builders. What started out as business ended with friendship.

Young Professionals are raw diamonds within a business. They have their own ideas and perspectives which they are keen on translating into action.
In this automotive business they should learn to accurately assess their own strengths and to identify their learning potentials and bottlenecks in due time. They should receive support for developing the skills whichf are important for their positions within the company.
m2m consulting carried out a development program with a total of four modules. The young professionals looked into the different career options that are possible within the company.
They compared self-perception and perception by others and they learned to assess their own competencies more accurately and to selectively translate these into action. They developed their communication skills and strengthened their abilities to work well in a team and deal with conflicts.
Guidance provided by their supervisors as well as learning partnerships ensured that these skills were successfully applied and that a connection was created to everyday work life.

When it comes to proving the financial value of live brand experiences, we don't mess about. That's why we've invested in our bespoke Brand Value Generator (BVG) model, a marketing sciences tool which helps clients understand the return they can expect before a campaign goes live.
Our BVG model is used at the planning and evaluation stages of campaigns. The model determines and evaluates the best strategic approach to drive behaviour change and to generate an ROI figure across 1, 2 and 3 year timescales. Essentially, it allows brands to see how much value their next campaign will generate. It's completed in partnership with our clients to ensure any sensitive information is secure.
We complete this activity at the planning stage, which allows us to set the most effective parameters to the campaign prior to going live as well as demonstrating to the business a final return on investment. We then benchmark our results throughout the campaign to ensure we are delivering against target and to give a final ROI.
By answering a dozen questions about your products and services and level of event engagement, we can demonstrate an expected return on your brand experience investment. We currently compare results across all industries, but we're working on benchmarking against particular sectors.

President Bush and President Clinton both spoke today as part of the "main event" for the convention. Personally I was unable to attend, which was the only disappointment for me this entire convention. From what I heard President HW Bush was hilarious. President Clinton then got up and said something to the effect of, "I couldn't get away telling the jokes he can. Could you imagine if I said some of the things he did??" Meaning Bush must have said something good… and I missed it.
I didn't realize how good of a relationship these two prior presidents have, I guess they work together quite a bit. It's a rather elite club, to be one of 44 men in history to hold the post of "The worlds most powerful person." It's also a good example to those of us in the car business about sportsmanship. As President Bush said about President Clinton, "He beat me like a drum, but we can still be good friends."
Other than the Presidents speaking, and all the security buzzing around outside the convention hall (including the bomb sniffing dogs,) it was quite a regular convention day. I was surprised with my workshop attendance. I spoke at 8:30 am and I was not expecting many people to show after a long night of partying. However, that was not the case and the audience was very engaged with lots of questions. I was very busy this day with on and off site meetings, most very productive but I wont bore you with the details other than to say I did spent time talking with Phil Zillinger, Jim Zigler and Gary May, some loyal DrivingSales community members.
Bart and I had a more dinner meetings and then later met back up with Gilbert Chaves, Joe Webb and Kim Clouse. Joe has written another funny script about internet sales and wanted me to play a part in it. We were all laughing and having a good time as we filmed. They are going to edit and use it at their digital dealer presentation then we will post it to DrivingSales. It features Ralph Paglia, Kim Clouse and myself; Ill let Joe tell you more details. Until then you will have to wait in suspense for my Oscar winning performance!
The final day was SLOW, most people had gone home and the vendors were packing up. Despite that, I had some very productvie meetings. Overall I would say those that didnt attend the convention this year missed out on some great opportuities. It was certainly less crowded, vendors were willing to bargan, there was a solid social and networking atmosphere. In all those that came were there for a reason, I just hope we all have a better economic climate next year in Orlando to attract more dealers. This was a benificial show, despite the small crowd, Id love to hear your thoughts or feelings, especially if they are different than mine. More on the convention soon... we have a few things we purposely left out.

By Lt. Col. Vanessa Saks, Headquarters Air Force Junior ROTC
/ Published January 21, 2020
Retired Lt. Col. Trinh Warner, an Air Force Junior ROTC instructor at Cypress Springs High School in Texas, conducts an inspection of her cadets. Before retiring as a judge advocate general, Warner applied for an instructor position with AF Junior ROTC, receiving several job offers before accepting the one at Cypress Springs in summer 2019. To apply, Airmen must be retired less than five years, have a bachelor's degree and hold a retired enlisted grade of technical sergeant to chief master sergeant or officer grade of major to colonel. Airmen from an Air Force component can submit an application when they are within nine months of retirement and have approved retirement orders. (Courtesy photo)
What to do after retirement from the Air Force is a question that plagues many Airmen as they approach the end of their career. For one lieutenant colonel, an unsolicited email from the Air Force Personnel Center answered that question for her, and changed her life forever.
Lt. Col. Trinh Warner, an Air Force judge advocate for 17 years, was getting close to retirement and in search of a meaningful job that mattered.
"As I was praying for guidance during the time just before terminal leave, an email came to me from Air Force Junior ROTC Headquarters (through AFPC) that asked, 'Looking for a rewarding opportunity after retirement?'" she said.
It was soon after receiving the email that she applied online for a position as an Air Force Junior ROTC senior aerospace science instructor, or SASI.
"I knew the private practice of law, while fun at times, would not give the kind of internal rewards that making a difference in children's lives would," said Warner.
It didn't take very long after applying for the position that the job offers started coming in.
"Because I was very diligent in my efforts to apply, get interviewed and get approved by the Air Force, I was able to get job interviews by three schools very quickly. I had offers from all three schools, and it was a difficult decision to make," she said.
The retired judge advocate accepted a position with Cypress Springs High School in Texas this past summer.
"After speaking with my interviewer and hearing her excitement about her experience as a SASI, I felt this was an opportunity I would like to explore."
In the short time since starting her job, Warner has realized that her decision to become an instructor was a great choice.
"I knew I would like working with students, but my love for the Junior ROTC mission has surpassed my expectations," she said. "Every day, cadets impress me with their initiative, dedication and drive. My expectation was there would be difficult days, but the cadets make it worth it for me."
Airmen from an Air Force component can submit an application to become an Air Force Junior ROTC instructor when they are within nine months of retirement and have approved retirement orders.
"Air Force Junior ROTC is an amazing opportunity for Airmen to continue to serve after retirement while staying connected to the Air Force family," said David Richerson, chief of instructor management for Air Force Junior ROTC. "We have nearly 900 officer and over 1,000 enlisted positions worldwide. We are always taking new instructor applications, and our vacancy list is updated at least weekly."
For an application to be approved, an Airman must be retired less than five years, have a bachelor's degree and hold a retired enlisted grade of technical sergeant to chief master sergeant or officer grade of major to colonel.
The Air Force screens and approves new applicants. Once an applicant is approved, Headquarters Air Force Junior ROTC forwards the applicant's name to schools at which the applicant wishes to be interviewed. As the employer, the schools conduct the interviews and make the actual hiring decisions.
Once hired, instructors attend a certification course conducted by Headquarters Air Force Junior ROTC at Maxwell during their first summer and then have the opportunity to hone their skills in the classroom setting.
A typical Air Force Junior ROTC program at a high school has one retired officer and one retired enlisted instructor. The officer, as the SASI, normally teaches aerospace science courses and manages the overall program in the school. The enlisted member, as an Aerospace Science Instructor, normally teaches the leadership courses and assists with managing the various aspects of the program. Both are equally responsible to effectively lead, coach, mentor and develop their cadets.
Instructors are paid the Minimum Instructor Pay. MIP is the difference between retired pay and the active duty pay and allowances, excluding hazardous duty and special pays, that an Air Force Junior ROTC instructor would receive if ordered to active duty. Many schools elect to pay more than the MIP to attract and retain the most qualified instructors. Schools are also encouraged to adjust instructor pay based upon the individual's qualifications and experience.
Warner offers a few words of advice for those thinking of applying.
"Being an Air Force Junior ROTC instructor is a calling; it's not for the faint-hearted and not for those who do not enjoy being around kids," she said. "For those retirees looking for something to do that's bigger than themselves, I highly recommend they apply. The rewards cannot be quantified!"
Air Force Junior ROTC provides citizenship training and an aerospace science program for high school students. The objectives are to educate and train high school cadets in citizenship and life skills; promote community service; instill a sense responsibility; and develop character, leadership and self-discipline through education and instruction in air and space fundamentals and the Air Force's core values of Integrity First, Service Before Self and Excellence In All We Do.

I think this is a good wallpaper, but there are 3 things that bothers me
1. The road is a little bit plain (its straight )
2. The colour of the tress are different (Pink, green and "orange"?)
3. under the sakura trees is blank (sky),
That is all that bothers me :P
I like the Grass, Cloud and the Sparkling effects.. They are Great!
Anyway... thanx for sharing this wallpaper and keep up the good work! :D

The scan just called out to me "wall it!". But I had no idea what on earth to do with it! I tried a few different things, and this is what I liked best. It just feels a bit cluttered with all the trees, but if I take them away, it looks too empty >.<. The thingy with bright green leaves is meant to be a hedge. I liked the whole "secret garden" concept too, so went along with it. Oh half the reason its called take my hand is from her, erm, position? And the other half is Kaze Machi Jet, the 2nd season ending for tsubasa. When teeny fye appears on, it goes "Kono, te o te..." or something like that... Which translated, means take my hand.
Thanks if u read my useless stuff up there, and faves and comments are super appreciated for my lacking in walling skills XD.
Edit: Oh wow, thanks everyone for the critisism! I'll put some tree trunks in the blank space, does it look ok? And I fixed up the gate with a texture, does it look better now? Thanks so much guys!

The Korean technology major company Samsung has been experimenting several fitness sensors in clothing and shoes for last few years.
In order to extend the same streak, Samsung is going to introduce its own line of running shoes having in-built smart sensors helping elite athletes to be consistent on their performance graph.
Earlier this year, Samsung C&T Corporation applied for two design patents at the Korean KIPO(Korean Intellectual Property Office). The patent was assigned on December 27, 2018 and shows different render images of a sneaker with a sensor on the back.
The patented Shoes by Samsung are made up of Leather and Synthetic material. The shoes shown as in model A can be switched on and off by pulling the tab. Now the smart shoe shown as in model B, its sensor can be found on the back from where one can open a plastic flap activating the smart functions.
Venturing into the wearable technology domain, Samsung has previously created a sensor-laden men's suit which was used by Dutch athletes to train for the Winter Olympics. A Samsung Creative Lab spin-off, iofit has also announced Smart Shoes just a year ago.

It not yet confirmed when these smart shoes will be available in the market, however it is clear from the design patent the shoes are in an advanced state of development, suggesting we probably will see them sooner rather than later.

Misty spent a long time with Delhi today and Delhi seemed to enjoy her company. Misty is a big girl who often has difficulty being gentle but when it comes to Delhi, Misty makes sure that she is soft, gentle, and extra careful about where she puts her feet.
February 29, 2008
Delhi, pictured here with her dear friend Misty standing protectively over her, is savoring her multi-species hospice care. Pampered by caregivers and elephant sisters alike, Delhi continues to be calm and comfortable. In the past two days we have noticed that she is slowing down, eating slower and sleeping for longer stretches of time. She especially favors her long baths, free choice produce banquets and cushy pillows provided by ITW Shippers of Mt. Pleasant, TN.
Delhi has been soaking in the loving kindness of her caregivers and sisters. She remains in her stall which has taken on the feel of a sacred space. Soft music flows from the front of her stall. This has become her focal point so that is where her gifts have been placed; burning candles, vases of fresh cut flowers, and figurines—all loving arranged with her Tibetan prayer flag suspended above. Delhi continues to eat but with less vigor than before. She is also drinking but her intake is greatly reduced. She savors her daily bath which has become a sweetly anticipated ritual, a deepening of connectedness for Delhi and her caregivers. It is the greatest gift to experience her calmness.
The past three days we have noticed a shift; Delhi is sometimes less present, she is somewhere else while still being here. Her less present state does not feel bad, it just feels different—like she is somewhere else. When she is with us she is incredibly soft and relaxed, light as a feather, floating and filled with joy. As we recognize that it is possible that Delhi's time is nearing we are thankful for the guidence we have received; helping us to understand how to support Delhi's transition without burdening her with our fears. Reciting Delhi's prayer brings us peace and reassurance.
Delhi's prayer: Delhi, I pray for your safe journey; unencumbered, light-footed and protected. I pray for your safe journey to where your spirit needs to go to.
In the early hours of the morning while her sisters and caregivers slept, Delhi made her transition. Her passing was silent and peaceful, she passed without waking. We are all spending the day honoring our last precious hours with her; caregivers are still fussing around her, whispering quiet goodbyes. Misty carefully touched all over Delhi's body and then gently stepped over her, sheltering her dearly departed friend. We are honored to have been Delhi's caregivers, thankful to be loved by such a kind and wise being. The gifts that Delhi has bestowed upon all of us have been immeasurable. We are ever grateful.
Namaste, dearest Delhi

Yeah, I got a bit distracted and ran off on a tangent with the last post, but really I think it was something more worth saying than a vague idea of my plans anyway. To some extent I just needed to write it for myself, too.
Well, I've been busy with a number of things, both erotic and not, but it is a constantly running thought. Next up is a story challenge piece I'm still debating how to shift into published erotica. Really I could post it up free for sake of exposure to what I can do since it's written and posted free for sake of challenge and fun, so it can't hurt. Keep an eye out for that section on the blog, if I figure out how to better manipulate pages, I'll certainly have something fancy worked up.
The story challenge itself is essentially 6k words maximum with theme of 'corruption,' with optional 'madness' and ' inclusion of vial(s)'. Pre-edit it's come in at 6018 words but the previous months story challenge needed about 500 words cut off it, and editing tends to add or subtract about that much. I know where there are sections I can take a decent amount off anyway, so that's fine.
It's an interesting piece though, in some way spread a little thin but I like to think I work with using that thin coat well, leaving more things in the early story open to imagination and filling in. As well as that, just that what's been done to the character allows for quick and hard anal with some implied voyeurism I leave the reader to fill in the part of right there without draw of foreplay and suchlike that I might usually employ. Then it just goes all sorts of different places of crazy till effectively fading to black in the middle of a relatively pretty hardcore scene I won't spoil. It cuts there just because I can, but also because once I have the premise of it down, any additional narration of it would just be repetition best left to the imagination. It wasn't going to be ending any time soon, either.
You'll see what I mean when I get it edited and sorted out. That leads into my next point nicely too, as figuring out and managing things like this blog's layout and what I can actually do with additional pages is an interesting thing that can just devour an entire evening, so I try not to mess with that right now, but things could certainly get changed up.
Beyond that, I have several volumes worth of plans for Daemonique, at least a second for A Boy's Secret, and a number of other things in mind.

Can understanding our genes help us get fit and healthy? Get-Fit Guy interviewed Dr. Dan Reardon of FitnessGenes to find out.
Several years ago, I received a tiny plastic test tube in my mailbox, so naturally, I spit in it and put it back in the mail. No, this was not an elaborate practical joke, I was actually submitting my DNA to a testing service called 23andMe.
A few weeks later, I received a report telling me all about myself, based on what they found in my genes that were contained in that saliva I put in the mail. There was information about my ancestry, my hair and eye color, some of my health predispositions and risks, and even what percentage of me is directly linked to Neanderthals (more than I would care to admit, to be honest).
As exciting and fun as that was, I didn't really find much in the way of actionable information in that report. I already knew that my family was predominantly Eastern European and that I had blue eyes and runny earwax. I was relieved to find out that I am not at increased risk of macular degeneration or Alzheimer's, but in the end, once I had read the reports (and shared them with my sister, since they are likely relevant to her as well) I pretty much went on with my life as usual.
As a fitness and movement professional, I was aware of the growing market in DNA testing as it pertains to fitness. I often considered signing up for services such as DNAFit and FoundMyFitness. Would DNA testing lend any additional or helpful information? I was skeptical until I heard Dr. Dan Reardon MB ChB, BSc, co-founder and CEO of FitnessGenes, speak at a wellness conference in Los Angeles this spring. After hearing his presentation, I took a closer look into his company and what it had to offer me as someone who is focused on being (and staying) fit and healthy.
This is how it works:
- You sign up at fitnessgenes.com (Although I have no monetary agreement or affiliate deal with this company, you can use code GETFITGUY25 to get 25% off) and choose one of their Tailored Workout Systems based on your specific goal and experience level.
- In a few days, you'll receive your DNA collection kit. Follow the instructions for correctly spitting into the tube and then pop it back in the mail.
- The FitnessGenes scientists extract your DNA from cheek cells that are naturally present in your saliva.
- After your DNA analysis is complete, you'll receive an email notification that your results are ready. You'll also get a link to your own online portal.
- Login to the portal to see your DNA analysis, recommendations based on the analysis, personalized workout advice, and genetically tailored diet plans.
As you can see, my experience with this process was much more actionable than simply finding out that my grandparents weren't lying to me about being from Ukraine.
The Gene Expert
Dr. Reardon is a medical doctor and genetics expert. He's been featured in InStyle, The New York Times and Men's Fitness magazines and on Inc.com, Well+Good and The Doctors.
Dr. Reardon was an emergency-room physician for 10 years and he holds a degree in human anatomy. He's also a certified personal trainer with more than15 years of experience. He's written two books and he's the former science editor of Muscle & Fitness and Flex magazines in the U.K., Europe, and Australia.
To get the full story, be sure you listen to our entire conversation in this Get-Fit Guy podcast episode. During the interview, you'll learn:
- Where Dr. Reardon's passion for fitness and health stems from
- The history or FitnessGenes
- How we are still in the early days of genetic science (less than 20 years)
- Whether the genetic data set actually limited due to the cost and availability of these types of tests?
- How people have historically chosen fitness and diet plans versus how we can now select them based on what we know about our genetic traits
- Whether there's really a "sports gene" or "athlete gene" that will tell us everything (Spoiler: nope)
- Why anyone who is selling a diet or fitness program as something that's right for everyone is wrong
- More about the power of using your genes to established small steps toward your goal
- How health care is really disease care, but the goal of genetic science is to change that and apply health management in a non-disease process
- Whether we should be worried about the loss of privacy when submitting our genetic data or concerned about our clone hunting us down to harvest ur organs
- Why genetic testing becomes more useful as more people use it
Dr. Reardon summed up the problem nicely saying, "We live in a world where everyone wants to believe that everyone is equal, and so we end up in a system that treats everyone the same. Unfortunately, treating everyone the same is only going to benefit certain people because we know that when it comes to diet, exercise, psychological stimulus, behaviour, the way you learn, and the complexities of social interactions, that if you just treat everybody the same and don't account for these different variables between people, you miss the whole notion of personalization."

My son got a frozen message on his 1password app on his iPhone. The message told me to contact the family administrator (me) to re-activate his account. However when I logged into the admin centre and checked his account, it said that it was active, and had last been accessed on 5th September 2016. None of the other family members are having a problem, so how do I re-activate his account?
1Password Version: 6.4.4.
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: iOS 9.3
Sync Type: 1password
I forgot to ask this but does the administrator get a notification if one of the family members has a frozen account?
Hi @grover56! Sorry for the trouble and confusion. Frozen family accounts mean that everyone on the account would get that notice. If only your son was getting it, something else is up. Your subscription is active, so I'm curious if your son may have created another account and signed in to that one instead of the family. I noticed you deleted a family member and invited them again. If that's your son, and you got things sorted out, then great!
If not, I didn't find any other accounts under your family members' names, so let's take this conversation to email where we can discuss the names and who's having trouble. Please send us a message at [email protected] and mention this forum thread in it. Post back here with the BitBot confirmation number you receive so we can connect the two conversations and get back to you quickly.
Hi Jacob
Thanks for the reply, I have emailed as requested. BitBot confirmation number is #VEE-15664-869

Article and photos by MARGIE O'LOUGHLIN
The Creative Enterprise Zone (CEZ) is one of six newly established cultural and business districts along the Green Line Corridor. It extends from Prospect Park on the west to Prior Ave. on the east, and from Energy Park Dr. on the north to I-94 on the south.
Photo right: The Carleton Artist Lofts between Hampden and Carleton streets in the Creative Enterprise Zone. These subsidized, affordable apartments for people connected to the arts offer many amenities including studio and rehearsal space, a close-knit community and easy access to the Green Line.
At most recent count, according to writer Catherine Reid Day, board chair of the Creative Enterprise Zone, there are more than 500 creative enterprises within its boundaries. Reid Day said, "We are actively working on retaining and attracting light manufacturing and new creative enterprises to the CEZ. Our motto is: make it here!"
Reid Day explained that visioning for the CEZ began more than two decades ago, coming out of conversations between working artists and makers. "This is a cultural and business district that was already well-established," she said. "The intention now is to maintain what's already here with artist and maker studios, residences and live-work spaces."
In 2009, one of the neighborhood anchors, the C&E Building on the corner of Pelham and University, was purchased by developers. It had long been home to floors of artist studios, and the loss of it was a real blow to the local community. People quickly realized that if they didn't organize, other buildings with the affordable, ample space artists and makers need would soon be slated for re-development.
"We've always known that the formal establishment of the CEZ would take the work of many people," Reid Day said. "All along we've partnered successfully with government officials and planners and have enjoyed an especially good relationship with the St. Paul City Council."
Resident artists, makers and light manufacturers in the neighborhood started the momentum for the CEZ, and with the help of government and finance partners it has become a solid reality.
Erik Pearson of Shipwrecked Studio is a longtime resident of the CEZ. He makes art at his studio in the Dow Building at 2442 University Ave. and then walks home to the Carleton Artist Lofts (CAL) across the street where he lives with his wife, Deanna. They moved to the CAL building in 2006, just a month after it opened.
Photo left: The Superior, WI native named his creative enterprise Shipwrecked Studio. He said, "The big lake just stays with you," and professes to have a love for all things nautical. In addition to being a talented painter, sculptor, woodworker and sailor, Pearson is a dedicated musician and gigs regularly with his band The Old Smugglers.
Pearson, a painter/muralist, sculptor, and musician, said CA provides subsidized, affordable housing for artists. "I've never lived in a place where I've known so many people," he added. "Everyone here is connected to the arts in one way or another: as a working artist, a passionate hobbyist, an arts administrator or what have you. There are about 175 apartments in our three buildings, and we've built a strong sense of community.
Watch for arts and culture events happening here throughout the year, including our art crawl in the spring and fall when we turn our apartments into galleries and art-making spaces."
Photo right: Pearson with one of his paintings.
Pearson realized from the beginning that he would need a studio space separate from where he lived. Since his early days in the art department at the University of WI in Superior, his hometown, Pearson's paintings have just gotten bigger and bigger. His largest installation to date has been an exterior mural commissioned by the Bloomington Theatre and Art Center that measured 38 ' high and 65' wide. Pearson uses a 4" brush and loads of scaffolding to produce his stylized characters inspired by German expressionist Max Beckmann, Mexican muralist Diego Rivera, and contemporary poster art.
Nicole Fierce of Fierce Design Studio is a glass blower and a brand new resident of the CEZ. Her 3,200 square foot gallery and in-process workspace are located in the Midwest Commercial Building at 2500 University Ave. Fierce searched for the new space for months. A bright green door on Cromwell Ave. opens directly into her gallery and it was this street presence, along with easy access from the Green Line, which sealed the deal.
Photo left: Every glass object is shaped and smoothed with a wad of newspapers. According to Fierce, "The NY Times is best, having the lowest percentage of clay components in the newsprint. The Star Tribune holds up okay, the Pioneer Press falls apart, and the community papers are just too small."
Fierce has been repurposing her space since she moved in last January. She has gutted rooms, removing dropped ceilings, installed track lighting, skim coated and painted concrete floors and, last but not least, hired three graffiti artists to make the walls shine. Her eye-catching logo, painted on the side of the Midwest Commercial Building says it all: FIERCE GLASS. Beauty born in fire. Never fragile – always classy.
Photo right: Fierce always blows glass with a partner. "It's like a dance," she said, "when two people are really in sync with each other. With my best apprentices, we don't speak in full sentences, just nods, and grunts. We're working with glass that's been
heated to 2,200 degrees. We need to be very observant and responsive toward each other." When her two furnaces are up and running this fall, Fierce plans to roll the garage doors open on Franklin Ave. so people can see what's going on. She understands as well as anyone how mesmerizing molten glass can be, and she appreciates the "chemistry of interest" when people walk by.
Asked how she became a glass blower, Fierce answered, "I took one class four years ago and was completely hooked. I blew for a year, continued to learn from community glass artists, and then jumped in with everything I had."
That seems to be the sentiment of many artists and makers working in the CEZ. The beauty of the formalization of the district is that it will foster even more cooperation and shared opportunities for artists, makers, and light manufacturers.

Show Racism the Red Card
|January 1996
|Racism in society
|Association football
Area served
|United Kingdom,
Republic of Ireland
|Popular education
Key people
|Chief Executive: Ged Grebby
Show Racism the Red Card (SRTRC) is an anti-racism education charity, established in England in January 1996 to harness the high-profile nature of footballers as anti-racist role models to educate against racism throughout society in the United Kingdom.
Show Racism the Red Card started in North Tyneside and now has offices in England, Scotland and Wales as well as other countries. SRtRC produces educational resources including DVDs, education packs and magazines for use with young people, delivers workshops in schools, teacher and adult training and holds educational events with football clubs. [1]
Mission statement [ edit ]
The stated aim of the charity is to "aim to combat racism through enabling role models, who are predominantly but not exclusively footballers, to present an anti-racist message to young people and others." Achieving this through three methods:[2]
- Producing educational resources.
- Developing activities to encourage people, including young people, to challenge racism.
- In Scotland - challenging racism in the game of football and other sport.
Background and activities [ edit ]
Show Racism the Red Card grew out of a £50 donation made by then Newcastle United goalkeeper Shaka Hislop in 1995 to a local anti-racism campaign in Newcastle Upon-Tyne. Ged Grebby, who founded the charity, was an active member in Youth against Racism in Europe, which sent educational packs to schools. One magazine got into the hands of Hislop, who pledged £50, urging more donations. It was when he got on board that Show Racism The Red Card was founded.[3][4]
Since then it has grown both in the UK where it has offices in Whitley Bay, Glasgow and Cardiff, as well as in Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark. The campaigns in each country have education through sport as a common goal but draw on different local resources to get the message across.[3]
"I was putting petrol in my car at the garage and these kids started shouting racist abuse. Then after a bit one of them realised who I was and told his friends. Then they came over looking for autographs. That really hurt." [3]— Footballer Shaka Hislop on an experience where he was perceived as 'just another black person' that led to him being active in the Show Racism the Red Card campaign.
The main English language DVD is a general anti-racism resource suitable for ages eight to adult. It features high-profile footballers such as Thierry Henry, Derek Ferguson, Mustapha Hadji, Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand, Didier Drogba and Samuel Eto'o talking about the issue alongside the experiences of young people.
"A Safe Place" DVD educates about racism towards asylum seekers and refugees and also about Islamophobia which tackles racism towards Muslims. Each DVD comes with an education pack with discussion points and activities for teachers to use on the resource.
"Out of Site" education pack aims to educate on the topic of racism towards Gypsy, Roma and Traveller groups. Again, this resource includes relevant discussion points and activities.
Education [ edit ]
SRTRC runs an annual schools competition[5] where young people produce their own work against racism in the form of posters,[6] poems, animations and films.[7] In 2008 the winners were invited to the Emirates Stadium to receive their prizes from Theo Walcott. The North East winning entry[8] was 'Choose your team, not your colour' created by a pupil, not very far from St James' Park, attending a school in Ouston. The same school had a subsequent winner in 2010; these winners went to the new Wembley Stadium.
The charity regularly holds events with professional sporting clubs. Young people are invited to stadiums to hear the anti-racist message from their sporting heroes.
SRTRC delivers programmes of community education in North East England, South and South East England, Scotland and Wales. Education workers deliver workshops to young people and adults. The workshops are often accompanied by football and fitness sessions from ex-professional footballers such as Gary Bennett, Dean Gordon, John Anderson, Curtis Fleming, Olivier Bernard, Luther Blissett, Paul Mortimer and Leroy Rosenior.
Hall of Fame [ edit ]
The charity has given individual awards to a number of people:[9]
[10] Footballers:
- Charlie Hardwick (actress)
- Joe Shaw (Rugby union player)

Washington, D.C., and Bethesda, MD. – MedStar Health is working with a Bethesda-based tech startup firm, Mytonomy, to pioneer a novel approach to patient education that delivers individualized instruction through a unique microlearning software platform that can be accessed from anywhere via the internet. Based on a highly successful pilot with interventional cardiology patients at MedStar Washington Hospital Center, MedStar and Mytonomy announced today that they are expanding the project to cardiovascular patients across the system and will be adding new learning modules to address other types of procedures and conditions.
Traditionally, patient education materials are provided through pamphlets or printouts of broad information. This one-size-fits-all approach is not as effective for personalized instruction, and is often not reviewed or understood by patients. In the MedStar Washington Hospital Center pilot of this novel approach, involving more than 300 patients scheduled for heart catheterizations, nearly 90 percent completed the education modules. They also reported feeling less anxious, more confident and appeared to be more engaged throughout their care process.
Physicians and education specialists with the MedStar Simulation Training and Education Lab (SiTEL) and the MedStar Heart and Vascular Institute created the innovative educational content, and Mytonomy's software platform provides the methodology, access and analytics that measure engagement and effectiveness of the microlearning system. Microlearning provides short, clear bursts of information in the manner most effective for learning in today's digital-dominated world, according to research. Mytonomy's system and MedStar's content mirror this, providing patients and caregivers the information they need to help them to prepare for and recover from a procedure, or to manage a chronic disease, which they can access at their convenience.
"Engaging patients as active partners in their care is an essential aspect of achieving better outcomes and improving chances for long-term health," says Stephen R.T. Evans, MD, MedStar Health's chief medical officer. "Giving patients the information and tools to manage their care needs becomes more important than ever when the measure of health is viewed across a person's life, not in episodic encounters with a hospital."
The patient education partners are working now to complete the cardiology curriculum with modules for electrophysiology and heart surgeries. Next up, they will create content for patients with diabetes, and women preparing for childbirth and other ob-gyn procedures. Over the next year, they plan to address other major medical areas including general surgery, orthopaedics, eye care, neonatalogy, oncology, vascular procedures, and gastroenterology.
"Mytonomy has met and exceeded our expectations as a partner to bring innovative learning experiences to our patients," said Bill Sheahan, corporate vice president with MedStar SiTEL. "We selected Mytonomy for patient education and microlearning for two reasons: Their team has a successful track record of delivering powerful enterprise software systems, which are simple and easy use, and they have a unique understanding of what constitutes an excellent consumer experience. The Mytonomy product was developed with an extensive user-centric design process and is backed by research and extensive testing. These factors aligned perfectly with MedStar Health's desire to try new and innovative approaches to helping our patients learn and be healthy."
The Mytonomy microlearning platform is simple to use for patients and caregivers. The patient clicks on a secure link from their provider or hospital team, and is presented with information specific to their procedure or diagnosis. The system is compatible with all major electronic medical records and scheduling systems.
Notable results from Mytonomy's pilot with MedStar Health included:
- More than 88 percent of the first 300 patients who were given access to the mobile system logged in and watched their patient education pre-procedure.
- A MedStar Health study showed patient satisfaction scores with both the Mytonomy system and the care they received increased to more than 90 percent in the hospital with the first 100 interventional cardiology patients.
- Patients reported reduced anxiety and increased confidence.
- Patients' families engaged in the education process by accessing the learning module with the patient at home or in the hospital.
"MedStar Health provided an unparalleled opportunity for our start-up company to quickly bring an innovative, software system to market to address some of the greatest challenges in health care," said Anjali Kataria, CEO of Mytonomy. "Our goal was to deliver an easy-to-use system that was incredibly powerful behind the scenes. We built an industrial strength system via an extensive user centric design process incorporating diverse patient and clinician feedback we gathered from MedStar and other major healthcare systems."
"Other hospitals and health systems using our microlearning platform have the option to create their own hospital-specific videos, or use existing content, which can quickly be modified and re-branded to meet the hospital's needs, enabling a hospital to be up and running in a matter of weeks with the content they want their patients to have," said Vinay Bhargava, president and co-founder of Mytonomy. "By engaging their patients with this new digital health tool, clinicians can build trusted patient relationships deeper and faster."
