Piano For Beginners
I want to introduce you to the various methods utilized for training piano for newbies. The first point that would most likely come to mind is that you need to discover each specific note. To begin with, this variation was to educate beginners where each note is, discovering how to site checked out the songs and timeless repetitions. This is a really time consuming process and trainees generally require a lengthy time and a lot of lessons to be able to play the piano.

In the 2nd area I want to discuss available classes for trainees for piano for novices. One of the most significant trainees would usually undergo colleges, colleges and college programs where they would likewise be instructed the background of music, simply click the following article and music instruments. Some would likewise go for private one-on-one courses to find out the piano, however group classes are equally as great.

Teachers for piano for beginners could be located in regional directory sites, as well as a see to your local music store might assist you into the ideal direction. With the growth of the web there are programs available online that is extremely great, and less pricey, and is another fantastic way for pupils to find out ways to play the piano.

Articles on Leadership Styles: Learn Tips for Developing a Style That Works for You
Leadership Styles to Weather the Storms
A project is like the weather. One moment you are basking in the sunlight of success and the next tossed about by unexpected storm determined to blow the project off course. What makes you a leader is what you do when that storm comes along. Because a project manager's leadership directly affects how that team responds to that storm, leadership style is critical during all phases of the project's life cycle. Here is a quick review of the various leadership styles and a compendium of articles on leadership styles that will help different different leaders respond to the elements.
Transformational Leadership
Transformational leaders want to change the world or at least the world of their organization. A transformational leader is a visionary leader who thinks in possibilities but believes that those possibilities will become realities. Transformational leaders are driven and their enthusiasm generates excitement and commitment on the part of those who follow them. For employees this translates into general excitement with greater sense of purpose. What makes transformational leadership so riveting? Find out in this in-depth article on the Four Major Characteristics of a Transformation Leadership.
Charismatic Leadership
Known for their strong hands, charismatic leaders have the qualities that people most often associate with true leadership. They are in some ways similar to transformational leaders because of their ability to inspire and motivate others. While transformational leaders inspire through the strength of their ideas and vision, charismatic leaders inspire through the strength of their personality. Just like a maestro, a charismatic project manger skillfully orchestrates the talents of of employees with words and actions of encouragement.
To see how the charismatic leadership compares to other modern leadership styles, take a look at the article Modern Leadership Styles in a Changing World by N Nayab.
Servant Leadership
A firm hand is not always required in battling the elements of an impending storm. In this case a servant leader may serve well in situations where the storm feels more like a gentle rain. As it names implies, servant leadership is actually a contradiction in terms. The servant leader is a pseudo leader who leads from behind by empowering others to take on increasingly visible and important roles. Metaphorically, you can think of the servant leader handing over the keys of executive boardroom to the employees. While this leadership style has its supporters, it also has its fair share of critics. For a balanced analysis of the servant leadership style, this article on the strengths and weaknesses of the servant leadership style presents both sides of this unusual leadership style.
Situational Leadership
The situational leader is a juggler of sorts who is constantly making small adjustments to keep all the balls in play. In this analogy, the balls represent the followers or employees who the juggler must treat as individuals to keep the project on its trajectory. Depending upon the needs of the employee, the situational leader adjusts the level of supervision or intervention to meet the individual's circumstances.
To learn more about situational leadership, The Situational Leadership Model and the Examples of Situational Leadership are two informative pieces that explain why this flexible leadership style has become a favorite among supervisors and employees.
Participative or Democratic Leadership
The participative or democratic leadership style is another form of leadership which at first glance appears counter-intuitive. Under the rationale that several heads are better than one, participative leaders seek consensus. However, overtime this style slowly blurs the distinction between leaders and subordinates. This type of leadership works best when there is plenty of time to make decisions. In the storm analogy, participative leadership would be good to use when preparing for a hurricane, but catastrophic if a tornado srikes.
If you are interested in learning about other concerns raised when implementing this leadership style, this article on the Challenges of the Democratic Leadership Style can help you sort through the issues.
Transactional Leadership
In describing a transactional leader, you probably will want to mention the phrase quid pro quo. Embodied in the philosophy of "this or that" is what makes a transactional leader an effective leader as a bargainer. The transactional leader offers incentives and rewards to employees for their commitment and efforts in fulfilling the organization's goals.
Wonder if the transactional leader's incentives work better than the transformational leader's vision in motivating employees? This question is looked at in the article Transactional vs. Transformational: Pick Your Style, which provides a head to head analysis of transactional and transformational leaders to see who comes out on top.
Who Has Your Leadership Style?
If you still aren't sure about your natural leadership tendencies from reading the above articles on leadership styles, then maybe some examples will help. The article Famous Examples of Different Leadership Styles, provides a good comparison of the various leadership types. What may surprise you is how the same leadership style can apply to both popular and unpopular figures.

#ablecaw14 Week 3: The Heart of Autumn
Monday, September 29, 2014
Another week of the challenge, another manicure! The weather has been more fall-like here lately, so it's perfect time to do the first one of this week's challenges called The Heart of Autumn.
A while ago, I saw this beautiful manicure done by Dimavarien where she had stamped a gorgeous tree on her nails and that image really stayed in my head. I'm still quite bad with stamping and I don't own any plates that would have a whole tree in them, so I couldn't really do that manicure same way that she did. But when I originally saw it, I immediately thought about doing something similar as freehand nail art and with just some nail art brushes, and that's basically what I did for today's challenge. Of course because I wanted to add some color to my autumn manicure, my tree also needed some leaves.
I started this manicure with two coats of Essie Maximillian Strasse Her. Then I did the tree and the branches with nail art brush and Essie Mind Your Mittens. After that I added some leaves with nail art brush and three of those Zoya fall 2014 polishes: Teigen, Autumn and India.
Somehow I have managed to do nice manicures for this challenge so far, and this is really no exception: I really like this one! And I'd say this certainly counts as autumn manicure, doesn't it?! I think the challenge has really made nail art easier, you don't have to figure out inspiration just by yourself as the challenge gives you at least some guide lines on what to do. Now that I said this, I have a feeling that my Something Blue will not be as successful, but we'll see about that later this week... I do have an idea for that manicure too!
By the way, those fall Zoyas are really really awesome! I swatched them all already and I will share my swatches tomorrow. I'm just really in awe of this whole Entice part of the collection, it's so gorgeous!
Sally Hansen Nail Rehab
Essie Maximillian Strasse Her 2 coats
Essie Mind Your Mittens (tree)
Zoya Autumn, India and Teigen (leaves)
Color Club Top Coat
Do you guys like my idea of The Heart of Autumn?
Disclosure: I have gotten all the Zoya polishes and both Essies for review. I have gotten Sally Hansen Nail Rehab from a goodie bag of our meet. For more information view my disclosure policy.

Fifi Friday
Still feeling poorly so not done a lot this week. My energy levels are depleted and it's all I can do to take my dog for a very short morning walk, then it's back to the couch for most of the day, and early nights.
But I managed to make, photograph and list a pair of earrings. It was an experiment really, to see if I could find a way to use these gorgeous beads that I ordered which unfortunately came without holes. I fixed them with super strength E600 glue inside the lower petaled bead cap. They are very secure, and I'm really happy with the result.

The new Retail inMotion Crew Food App can be used by any airline, and has been live with a first customer since May 2018. It allows crew members the possibility to choose and order the meals they want to eat on board before their flights. The app is available via Apple and Android Application and also via Web Application, which provides maximum usage possibility for the crew, regardless of their device.
From a flight schedule that is linked via an interface with the airline, the crew can choose the date and flight they wish to get the meals delivered to. They browse from various food categories that are available to them, choose their preferred meal, add it to their "cart" and pay with their credit or debit card. The crew can always follow the status of their order in the app, so that they are always up-to-date.
Once the status of an order has changed, the crew gets an update via email and via in-app notification. Crew members can create or amend their orders and place orders up to one hour before planned departure of the flight. After their flight is over, they can even rate their meal experience, from delivery to taste of the food. This is done with a "star" rating system with the possibility to provide written feedback, which is later evaluated by administrators.
In the back-office of the app, program administrators can very easily and intuitively manage food categories, products, prices, availability and more. Any changes made in the backend are applied to the app in real-time, so that they are available straight away for the crew.
Reports and order overviews give administrators a transparent overview of the whole operational process. Payments are being processed via Retail inMotion's well-established, PCI-DSS compliant vPay Payment Gateway to ensure secure and safe transactions.
The Crew Food App is also fully integrated into catering production and logistics systems. Retail inMotion is therewith integrating digital touchpoints for passengers and crew alike with efficient logistics concepts. The back-office is enabled to integrate with multiple production systems, which will allow airlines to roll it out with multiple catering companies, to serve both crew and passengers through new digital touchpoints.
With this new module, Retail inMotion has achieved the next step in its digital retail platform, and further developed and enhanced the full travel journey – in this case, in regards to food for crew members. "We are proud to have our Crew Food App live and even more so that we are receiving fantastic feedback. This is another step in the execution of Retail inMotion's strategy of building the leading platform to digitalize the passenger, crew and product journey," commented Stefan Patermann, CEO Retail inMotion.
Retail inMotion, based in Ireland, became a fully integrated member of the LSG Group in 2016.

There is no doubt that the medical needs of the public remain significant at weekends. Along with the BMA, I fully support the idea of seven-day NHS services provided we have the human and infrastructure resources to deliver them.
A fully functioning seven-day health service within the existing NHS budget, however, is not achievable and will need even more money than the sums already pledged.
Further, increasingly we are facing a chronic shortage of many different types of medical staff – nurses, GPs, paramedics, radiologists, A&E doctors and many others. No one expects those to be alleviated any time soon. The BMA is rightly demanding that prime minister David Cameron set out how he plans to introduce more seven-day NHS services, including how they will be funded, how they will be staffed and how he will ensure that mid-week services are not affected.
Many GP and hospital services are available around the clock, seven days a week. Ambulance services, maternity services, out-of-hours GP services, accident and emergency care and some other acute hospital services already operate around the clock across all seven days in all parts of England. For example, many hospitals also provide emergency surgery outside normal working hours.
GP services are already struggling badly just to provide a weekday service. There are physically not the GPs or the funding to support practices who might be under pressure to open for an extra two days while maintaining their regular opening hours.
And this is the central problem. Politicians have given no practical explanation of how they are going to fund this extra care. I have heard one health leader suggest that we would need thousands of extra GPs and millions of extra pounds to make seven-day opening work – and that is without taking into account the receptionists and nurses we would also need.
The prime minister's £150m Challenge Fund - assured for just one year - is a mere drop in the ocean. Given that it takes 10 years to train a GP, how are we going to make this happen soon? And if we were to do that, will the balance of GP cover change with fewer GPs being available during regular hours?
Seven-day GP services
If out-of-hours and weekend work proves more lucrative, some will surely prefer to earn more, doing fewer hours than providing a service during usual surgery hours. Social care has been decimated in recent years – how will Mr Cameron make sure support and community services are also in place over seven days?
The NHS model of universal healthcare is still envy of the world, and general practice remains the 'jewel in the crown', led by a workforce dedicated to delivering free healthcare for all, wherever and whenever patients need it.
Without explaining and in absence of a honest dialogue with the profession, how do you, prime minister, intend to deliver a seven-day NHS? This politically driven promise risks damaging the existing NHS services on which we all rely. We need a long-term, sustainable plan that fixes the problems overwhelming the weekday service before we consider opening at the weekend. There is no point chasing a pipe dream when the current foundations of the NHS in general and general practice in particular are under such strain.

I was disturbed to read on the Manx government website yesterday that the Isle of Man is soon to host a British Irish Council officers group which is supposed to be 'exploring the role of the 'Third Sector' in promoting social inclusion.' Amongst the local examples the visitors are apparently going to hear about or visit are homelessness and befriending schemes.
According to Andrew Swithinbank, one of two Social Services clowns revealed in a Tynwald question last year to be on £100K + salaries:
"This is not just an opportunity for us to blow the Manx trumpet although we have a great deal to be proud of in how Government and the Third Sector are working together in the interests of vulnerable people. Rather it is an opportunity for mutual learning. We want to share with our colleagues from other jurisdictions the problems we have faced and the solutions we have found and the challenges ahead so that we can all learn how to build even better and stronger partnerships with the voluntary and community sector."
Well Andrew, it will take less than two minutes to explain we've failed miserably. Then what do you do for the rest of the conference?
You can read the pathetic bleatings of this overpaid underachiever and other chumps at http://www.gov.im/lib/news/dhss/officialsfromsix.xml, and I defy Manx readers to get past the first paragraph without laughing or swearing profusely.Seriously, if current Manx examples are being held up as 'best practice' for planned public sector cutbacks in the UK and surrounding islands that is pretty terrifying.
The simple truth is, in the last few years Manx public services (often third rate to start with) have been hacked away to the extent they no longer exist in any practical sense. All this has happened under the pretence of 'partnerships' with churches and other parasitical bodies which might have otherwise quietly died by the end of the 20th century through public disinterest.
Instead of just paying professionals to look after our disadvantaged competently, the government just slipped a few quid to the same faith-biased amateurs who caused the bigotry and general ignorance which held us back so many years in the first place. So now, unless you're what some biblebashing dimwit (armed with digital technology but Dickensian attitudes) considers 'the deserving poor' you get no help. Under cretinous initiatives such as 'befriending schemes' run by evangelical throwbacks in our smaller communities pensioners who don't attend church are now left to die alone and un-noticed.
For example a nonagenarian friend caring for a wife with Alzheimers moved to the UK earlier this year. It was the only way, given the handover of the relevant public services to village ignoramuses from the local chapel, he could be sure she would even get minimal care, such as the odd home help popping in.
Off-island readers – watch out for this nonsense. If such policies are ever adopted in your communities then at some future point the recently revealed Irish church-led abuse scandals are going to look like a model of social good practice compared to the total breakdown of public services you are about to experience.

Sitting is the new smoking: How employers can combat the habit
In today's culture, we spend long periods sitting at desks, working on our computers and talking on phones. We sit while we drive our cars. We sit while we watch television. We actually encourage sitting: When was the last time you were invited to "come in and take a stand?"
But the fact is sitting is the new smoking, and when it comes to employees' health, it's a development that should be of equal, if not more, concern to employers. Sitting results in:
· An elevated risk of colon cancer (two times greater than active people).
· A greater chance of diabetes as inactivity can stifle insulin effectiveness.
· Chronic health issues like back and neck pain, carpal tunnel, varicose veins and blood clots, which can be reduced by 54% if workers use standing desks.
· An increased cost to employers of 7% by 2020 just from having sedentary (and possibly obese) workers on their payrolls.
Because of statistics like these, smart employers should find ways to make fixes to their employees' everyday workplace routine. So how should they do it?
A good place to start is by taking a look at the ideal work pattern. Every half hour should be divided into segments — 20 minutes for sitting, eight for standing in neutral postures, and two for moving and gently stretching. It creates a day where five hours are spent sitting, two, standing, and 30 minutes, moving, with 16 sit-to-stand transitions — that all helps offset the risk of sedentary habits.
There are varied ways to address the problem. Treadmill desks, for example, may be an option, but they can be pricey at up to $4,500. Standing desks and height conference tables, though, are less costly and also coming into vogue.
But solutions don't have to be that ambitious. They can come from just setting the right tone. For example, encourage people to take micro-breaks throughout the day — at least two pauses per hour to just stand or to walk to the water cooler and back. It's also smart to look at how workspaces are arranged. Do printers really have to be on the manager's desk? Making them a solid reach away can promote flexibility. Better yet: Place them seven to eight feet away to encourage standing and a quick walk.
The best thing to do, though, is to fight the sedentary life by showing people the value of incorporating at least three ways of standing into their day:
1. When the phone rings, they should stand to answer.
2. Stairs are a better option than the elevator. Walking to a co-worker's desk beats calling and instant messaging every time.
3. A lunchtime walk around the block can help remove mental cobwebs and speed the digestion.
It's not how long people stand that's the issue. It's how often. Encouraging better practices and habits to that end can only pay big health dividends. And everyone wins.
Fostering an environment where workers are supported in practices that will improve their overall well-being is part of an effective health and performance program.

That is horrible news. I love seeing my Important One's faces smile at me when I log on. I have G+ but am considering moving the blog over to wordpress in protest.ReplyDeleteReplies
Wordpress keeps flitting through my mind Glynis. I'm always so indecisive though.Delete
Just when you get used to something it all changes. Facebook is just the same. My theory is when everything's ticking along nicely, there's nothing for the techie bods to do, so they mix things up to keep their jobs! Not fun for us though.ReplyDeleteReplies
My thoughts exactly. They have to keep making changes, and also keep things difficult for those they see as opposition.Delete
Google + is meh.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, I'm not enthused.Delete
I love seeing who has liked my blog enough to click the little button. It's sad that none of these software platforms seem to like playing nicely with eachother. But that is a good idea for the email subscribe - at least that way people can stay updated.ReplyDeleteReplies
I like the button. I know not everyone uses it, but it's one of those things, that if you do, you like it.Delete
Well, that's disappointing. But what about Networked Blogs? That's a connection app I've seen other people use. Any idea if maybe that would be a good alternative?ReplyDeleteReplies
I think Google reader is going to be used by me a lot more than it was.Delete
I'm often getting emails from people who aren't on Blogger to say that they can't comment or can't Follow. I find it frustrating but at least they can read what I've said and that's the main thing... although I do love it when I get new Followers. It makes the blogging feel extra special.ReplyDeleteReplies
Precisely. Seeing those smiling faces is wonderful. I think we will still have it, but those not using blogger won't be able to use it and it will be a different set up for anyone wanting to follow a blogger blog. All very confusing if I'm honest.Delete
Hey Rebecca. I sent you email about your winnings on the 14th otherwise please go to my second last post on the blog. I just posted my review of your current good reads read this morning.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm sorry for the delay Wendy. It's been a really hectic week or two. I was lucky to have my blog posts scheduled in. I will email you today :)Delete
Wait, what? I need to set up an email subscribe thingy like you've got i guess. This sucks.ReplyDeleteReplies
Doesn't it. I hope you managed to set up up easily enough.Delete
This really bothers me and I'm not happy about it at all. :( I tried Google+ but I don't care for it at all and actually find it very annoying. It's been fun to see the followers build up on my page, I think it's a shame they are getting rid of the feature.ReplyDeleteReplies
I don't like Google+ Its too similar to all the other things I use so I don't see the point. They need to come up with new ideas.Delete
Just when I was getting the hang of things they go and ****** well change things!! Irritating or what? Sympathies to all those who are badly inconvenienced. It seems the customer is almost never right...ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm not sure they're ever thinking about the customer in these big internet giant wars!Delete
I recently found out that I can't use Google Docs anymore because I dont use Google Chrome while doing it. I use a different browser. Google are going the way of Apple if you ask me. Let's hope they dont move into baking otherwise we'd need to buy Google toasters! :-)ReplyDelete

Ahlixe's New Adventure
I have sadly neglected my blog, not because I am tired of it, but because my organic chemistry class requires so much time. I doubt that any of the few blog readers I have left play the game Minecraft, but maybe someone will search it and end up here, or maybe some of my blogger friends will have children who play Minecraft.
If you've never heard of the game, you create a whole world with 3-D blocks online. It is really popular.
My 17-year old son Alex really enjoys the game Minecraft and has decided to put his knowledge of the game and of the computer to work for him so he can earn some money for his mission. He recently started making tutorials on how to play the game. How can he make money with videos? He signed up to have ads put on the beginning and end of his tutorial YouTube videos and every time someone actually watches the ad instead of skipping it, he gets some change deposited into his account.
He has high hopes for this "job" and has spent hours and hours with his slow computer putting the first 8 or so episodes together. He has already been improving from feedback and is getting a lot of experience with different software.
If you wanna learn how to create things on the game or if you just have a few minutes to kill and wanna help someone earn money for his mission, watch the episode below or click over to his YouTube channel and click on any of his episodes. The ads show up sometimes, but not always, so you might need to click on a different episode if you're just being nice and trying to watch an ad.
Thanks for any clicks!

I will head over there... and send tom too. good luck, alex! hope all your hard work pays off!ReplyDelete
What a clever idea! My 12 year old loves to play Minecraft & loves to watch the tutorials. He'll love to watch these!ReplyDelete
I currently don't have anyone playing Mindcraft. But, I know what it is and how popular it has become. Will pass the link on to some of my good friends who have little guys playing mindcraft.ReplyDelete

Why do deaf people struggle so much with employment? I've known so many hard-working, competent people who finally had to swallow their pride and go on SSDI after searching for several years.
The common reason I've been given is discrimination: employers don't want to hire deaf people, because deaf. And to some degree, I do think this is true. I understand why employers would balk when you're talking about jobs in which you have a lot of face-to-face communication, or safety concerns that rely very much on auditory input. Others, I think, are probably just not very well-informed about what a deaf employee entails; maybe they mistakenly believe that they have to provide an interpreter 40/5, or purchase costly equipment in order to comply with the ADA.
On the other hand… well, there are the resumes I've edited for deaf friends. That is usually the first thing the employer sees. If the deaf person's writing skills weren't so great and they didn't get it edited first, I guarantee you it wasn't "Graduated from _______ School for the Deaf" that got them turned down. Even if the resume passes, any email or text conversation will generally reveal that literacy level right away.
A friend who works in deaf education relayed her experiences with walking her deaf students through written tests. "I have to interpret everything," she told me, "line by line." She talked about having to explain what a puzzle was to a 17-year-old student. He was smart, and undoubtedly he'd seen and played with puzzles before, but he didn't know the English name for it. So when he read that question on a test, "are you good at solving puzzles?", he had to ask what a puzzle was.
I write and edit for a living. Straight up, I would not hire a majority of deaf and hard of hearing people I've met for any job that relied heavily on precise written communication. This has nothing to do with their hearing level and everything to do with their English skills. We must be able to communicate, somehow– if not verbally, then written. Many employers and employees cannot rely on signed-language or cued-language accommodations to be available 24/7.
In a lot of cases, it's even worse than that. In talking with DVR counselors, I was amazed to find that many of their d/hh clients didn't even know how to fill out a form for job applications. This could've been due to any reason– substandard education, mental impairment, pure laziness– but regardless of the reason, if these people didn't even have the ability to fill out a form, is it any wonder they struggled so much to find employment?
And when these people try to enter the workforce– as is their right, as they should– how much of that literacy stigma spreads to the deaf and hard of hearing population in general? How much of it is discrimination? How much of it is due to poor reading and writing skills that impact job performance?
I don't have any good answers here. I just know literacy's still a huge problem in the d/hh community– I'd say it's the biggest problem– and it bleeds out into everything. Maybe nowhere more so than your career.

When was the last time you had a Spiritual Health checkup?
That long? You can't even remember?
That's worse.
The spirit is always with you.
Is it like the Force? It's a part of the Force!
Both go hand in hand together. Without one the other is left alone on the playing field and will possibly go no further than you have already taken or you might turn to the Dark side.
The Dark Side
Don't laugh. There's a dark side to everyone when making their choices during their life-long journey. People turn aside for various and saundry reasons. Don't know what I'm talking about? Let me enlighten you.
Choices are what make the world turns around. The choices we make are what we face every day — every second — every minute — every hour of our life. Make the wrong choice and all that hinges on that one choice can destroy the world around you. Make the right choice and all that hinges on that one choice can brighten and build the world around you.
Let me put it another way. In STAR WARS, Luke is warned by Obi-wan not to give in to his temptations, his weakness because both will lead him down the wrong path. When Luke makes the right choice, he knows it through and through. You might say "it pierces his soul." In other words, Luke knows the difference between right and wrong, good and bad. Remember how eloquently Luke argues with Obi-wan that there's still good in Darth Vader? That's because Luke feels the good still lingers in his father's soul. It hasn't been completely extinguished yet. It exists, but it's hanging on a tender thread. One wrong choice from either Luke or Darth Vader will send one or the other or both into hell along with the rest of their companions, peers, and lords.
In this respect, that's how it is with you and me. We all live good lives. We all live and play by the rules, although some people bend the rules a bit, or tell white lies a bit or play both sides against the middle hoping that no one will notice.
Trust me.
Your spiritual side takes notice and it will affect your worldly health in ways that medical science will never treat nor understand.
When I was young and tender
my grandmother had a major operation. She was told by the doctor that her chances of living were slim to none. "Go ahead" she told the doctor.
Suicide by operating. Don't sneer. Many people use the police or other people to do their dirty work.
My grandmother had the operation and lived to her doctor's astonishment. She wasn't too happy I was told. The next day when the doctor made his rounds he told her that she would be let out at the end of the week. My grandmother smiled and told him. "I'll be dead before the end of the week." Her doctor smiled in return and told her. "Your granddaughter will here on Friday to take you to your new home."
"A nursing home," she said. The doctor said nothing. The next day when the doctor went on his usual rounds, a nurse walked up to him. "Bed 4, Room 612, Mrs. F. is dead."
Yep, the old lady willed herself to death. She made her choice. It upset her doctor who had a full Board Review go over what he did and didn't do. He almost lost his job. My mom was pretty upset. It was her mother. I didn't understand how a person could will themselves to death…unless their Spiritual Health was out-of-order.
We all make them every day of our life. These choices reflect what's really going on inside of us. If our Spiritual Health is not 100% perfect in working order, chances are that these choices are often influenced by how we feel inside of ourselves.
In my grandmother's case, she must've felt unloved or un-welcomed and therefore she would rather die than submit herself on either one of her daughters.
A profound sense of loss within ourselves yield different types of choices that reflect upon yourselves. It's our way of seeing how we're doing inside of ourselves and whether or not we're in good shape or not.
My grandmother definitely wasn't in good shape spiritually. That much I realized, but what I couldn't understand was why she let her spirituality go. Why didn't she go inside of herself and fix whatever was wrong with her? Why didn't she admit she needed help?
Unfortunately, I'll never know the why's, wherefores, and what's since she died. My mother took the same path as her mother, except she starved herself to death. Her spiritual health was out of tune as well.
Perhaps, we all need a Spiritual Tune-up like we give our cars, a tune-up that makes them more efficient, run better, and last longer.
I really don't know. But, I do this: Everyone needs to keep their Spiritual Health in good condition or worse will happen.
Until next time…

My webcam has been down for a couple of months. My desktop computer conked out and I had to re-install Windows 8 to bring it back to life. Planning to kill off Windows soon – this system has always had odd, haunting troubles, and replace our home file server with a Mac mini driven system next time the new Mac mini's are released.
Anyway, the webcam is functioning right now. No promises for how long 😉
Here's an image from this afternoon. Despite a brief downpour a couple days ago, we're still bone dry here. We haven't cut the grass in weeks, and the birch tree has lost half its leaves:

Companies line up plans for lithium-ion batteries production
Published Date | 2018 December 5
The list includes Exide, Exicom, Amaron, Greenfuel Energy Solutions, Trontek, Coslight India, Napino Auto & Electronics, Amara Raja Batteries, BASF Catalysts, Trinity Energy Systems, and Versatile Auto Components.India: Over a dozen companies, ranging from auto component manufacturers to power and energy solutions providers, have rolled out plans to make lithium-ion batteries locally, to cash in on the rush for green vehicles. The list includes Exide, Exicom, Amaron, Greenfuel Energy Solutions, Trontek, Coslight India, Napino Auto & Electronics, Amara Raja Batteries, BASF Catalysts, Trinity Energy Systems, and Versatile Auto Components. This step will promulgate the future market growth for the Electric vehicles and EV batteries in the near future. The development has come close on the heels of the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) directing that most of the incentives of the INR 5,500 crore earmarked for the second phase of the FAME (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles) India Scheme be used to encourage local manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries, which form the core of electric vehicles. There has been a surge in interest (to manufacture batteries locally) given the government's thrust on e-mobility. More than a dozen companies have started importing lithium-ion cells from countries such as China, Taiwan, and Korea assembling batteries. "The batteries being manufactured locally are costlier, but are superior in quality when compared with Chinese counterparts," said Sohinder Gill, director general, Society of Manufacturers of Electric Vehicles (SMEV). Though sales of electric vehicles have remained limited due to high costs and lack of charging infrastructure, industry insiders informed, the potential for battery makers is huge going ahead. Even if sales of electric cars for personal use stay muted, batteries will be required by fleet operators running electric cars. Besides, there are more than 2.5 million e-ricks operating with inferior lead-acid batteries that have short replacement cycles. The opportunity is massive. According to BlueWeave Consulting, India automotive industry is at the flourishing stage, supportive government policies and high public & private sector investment in the region are booming the industry. Over the years the automotive industry will witness phenomenal growth with high investment from foreign investment companies. Increase in per capita income and rise in urban population has surged the demand for automobiles leading to higher revenue generation in the region. Prominent automotive companies are willing to enter into the market through acquisition and partnership, further government supportive policy is positively impacting the market. Companies are focusing on controlling cost, improving efficiency and utilization of alternative energy engines. Electric vehicles (EVs) are the most fuel-efficient reduces emissions and significantly lower energy costs, thus EVs are on high demand, which in turn will promulgate the market growth of EV batteries and charging stations as well in near future. According to the report by BlueWeave Consulting on "Global Electric Commercial Vehicles Market, By Propulsion, By Vehicle Type, By Component Type, By Region- Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends & forecast by 2018-2024", the global electric commercial vehicle is projected to grow over a CAGR of 12% during the forecast period of 2018-2024 by value. The market is expected to reach around USD 149,316 Million by 2024. The demand for electric vehicles and charging station is governed by an increase in demand for fuel-efficient, high-performance, and low-emission vehicles. In addition, the trend of reduction in vehicular emission due to stringent rules & regulations in several countries and growth of public charging infrastructure in China, India, and the other developed countries are fuelling the market growth. According to the recently published report by BlueWeave Consulting on "Global Electric Vehicle Charging Station Market, By Product Type, By Installation Type, By Suppliers Type, By Region- Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends & forecast by 2018-2025", the growth is attributed to an increased deployment of charging stations at public places such as shopping malls, commercial buildings, airports, and restaurants. The convenience of being able to use an EV charger while shopping or during office hours is expected to boost the adoption of electric vehicles. Furthermore, government offerings, such as tax credits, on the installation of publicly accessible stations are expected to boost the market. According to the report by BlueWeave Consulting on "Global Electric vehicle Battery Market, By Battery Type, By Vehicle Technology, By Vehicle Type, By Region- Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends & forecast by 2018-2025", the global electric vehicle battery is projected to grow over a CAGR of 19.04% during the forecast period. The growing demand for Electric Vehicles (EVs) is primarily responsible for the aggressive growth of EV batteries. The sales of electric vehicles have increased due to the increasing government support in the form of tax credits and lucrative subsidies and consumer awareness of the usage and benefits of these vehicles. Moreover, huge investments by major players to set up EV battery plants are expected to further drive the market.

"Where Do We Go From Here?"Between February and May of this year, IAP2 Canada asked past, present, and future members what Canada's IAP2 Affiliate should look like. The engagement process asked questions about what IAP2 Canada's role should be going forward, what services are important for members, and how we can better meet our goal of being the national organization that helps to deliver the positive potential of public participation in Canada. This workshop will engage participants to build on the answers that we heard during the engagement process through a modified open space format to tell the incoming board "where do we go from here".
"Legacy Activity"IAP2 Canada gained official status as an affiliate in early 2011, marking the end of one leg of our organization's journey and the start of another. Getting this far is a BIG accomplishment, shared by many volunteers who have dedicated countless hours, boundless energy and great ideas.

Occasionally, during some of my more challenging adventures I wake up and ask myself, "Whatever possessed you to do this? What were you thinking?!" During my recent kayaking trip to Greenland, not only was this my waking thought every morning but my last thought each evening as I collapsed into my sleeping bag.
This was my first "serious" kayaking trip, having previously only kayaked around Krabi, Thailand and the kelp beds off Santa Cruz, California. This trip ranks as one of my most challenging adventures, not just the paddling but more importantly the packing and unpacking; shoehorning everything into a glove box sized compartment.

Saturday, 16 July 2011
On Monday this week I've was instructed by the work occupational health doctor that I am not fit to return to work and can't expect to return for at least two months. You may think great, two months paid leave! But that has it's own pressures. I've worked hard over the past two to three years to be taken seriously in the field of organisational efficiency and business improvements, and just as things are coming to fruition, my illness has whipped the carpet from under me. My projects will be given to other people and the increased length of time away also means I score more redundancy points. And If I still can't return at the end of that period, I go onto half pay. I'm desperate to get back to work in the job I love.
I have spent the week campaigning vigorously with senior managers to allow me back to work even part time and or from home. But in a meeting with the head of HR this week it was made clear that no, I have to put my ego in a box and rest.
I have a choice now. I can either give up, or I can fight. I'm going to fight. I'm going to turn the situation round by having a focus to get myself well and do something positive with the weeks ahead to heal me spiritually. Wargaming is after all, chicken soup for the soul.
Bought a copy of the classic British Army Basic Battle Skills booklet from my era on eBay for a few pounds.
It's pure Winter of '79 goodness as well as being a fond memory. For those of you who haven't served with the British Army, it's exactly what it says on the tin - it was designed to equip the 1970's and 80's soldier with the basics of field craft and personal tactics. Also includes topics such as map reading, hygiene and NBC defence. All done in a coloured pictorial format. I showed it to Maff who said "Oh my god. That's my vision of Winter of 79!" LOL! If you are into Cold War and Falklands era Brits then a copy of Basic Battle Skills will get you in the right mindset.
Right! I'm off to rough out a project plan to get plenty of W'79 gaming done over the next month.

Sorry to hear about your current health problems. Hang in there mate.
BBS was also used by the Commonwealth Armies and I still have a copy I was issued in 1986!
It was great for ensuring that your kit was folded to the correct size as it formed a nice template.
Best of British
Regards Paul
Trust me, Mark. If you try to go back to work before you're fit, you won't be doing yourself any favours, and risk undoing all the hard work you say you've done over the last few years.ReplyDelete
I hope you do keep gaming and blogging the Winter of '79, as it's been a very enjoyable read so far and has brought back a lot of childhood memories of the era (like Green Goddesses on the streets)
Make the most of your rest Mark. You'll have plenty of time to show em what you're made of when you're fighting fit again. Everybody needs a chance to de-frag once in a while.ReplyDelete
Thanks guys. You're right. And the De-frag analogy is perfect.ReplyDelete
Don't worry, Winter of 79 is very much part of the medicine!
Best wishes - I actually have a copy of BBS probably to keep my Falklands era chaps on the straight and narrow.ReplyDelete
Dear MarkReplyDelete
I suffer from depression. I pushed it at work until my kidneys failed. After six months off I took early retirement.
Workaholicism is not a successful strategy. Trust me.
By Heck I remember that at Queens Div basic training in Bassingbourne.ReplyDelete
Dear Mark,ReplyDelete
Sorry to hear of your problem and illness, I too suffer from depression, while my bouts of depression generally not as severe. I understand what you go through when that motivation and drive just leaves you.
Hang in there!

Hi MarkReplyDelete
A story..........
You're locked into a epic battle with a monster, both holding onto each end of the same rope, with an abyss between. The harder you pull on the rope, the harder the monster pulls you towards the abyss. No matter how hard you pull the nearer you get to the pit.
The purpose of the story is how to learn to let go of the rope!
Sometimes doing nothing is doing something
Good luck - Richard
Thanks for the support guys.ReplyDelete
I have a neurological problem, as yet undiagnosed which is causing seizures. At best, my head will hurt, my brain feels too large for my skull and a tsunami rushes from one side of my head to the other. At worst the lights go out and I collapse - at home, in the street, in the shops - I've been outside only a handful of times in last 10 weeks.
The 'black dog' is a result of my lack of control over whats happening. Of being forced off work . Of an uncertain future. Of the strain on my family.
Some wise comments and advice has been offered above which I will endeavour to heed. Thanks again,
