Cholitas, the revenge of a generation
The iconic bowler hat, the long black braids, the adjusted corset, and the brightly colored puffed skirt: their outfit is well known all around the world. The mythical cholitas are a strong symbol of Bolivia.
In colloquial Spanish, the "cholita" means a young Bolivian woman very identified with the indigenous culture. These women have always retained the characteristic fashion style of the Aymara tradition, from the plains of the Altiplano that surround the capital, La Paz
Yet for decades, they have suffered an important racial and social discrimination. The term "cholita", very pejorative then, pointed to the poor country girl, deprived of all her rights. Everything changed in 2006 with the election of Evo Morales. First Amerindian president in the history of Bolivia, it has enhanced the status of the cholitas and has brought them to the front of the stage. They acquired little by little a new status in the Bolivian society, especially through their outfit that is unique to them.
In scenes that were unimaginable 10 or 20 years ago, nowadays they have real clout in the economic, political, and even fashion worlds. The new generation of the cholitas wears today the colors of their origins with pride. Between tradition and modernity, they manage to express their cultural heritage, but also their plight for recognition among the urban society. The cholitas have managed to find their place in modern society without denying their collective past. They are an expression of the dignity of Indian populations.
The objective of this series is to highlight their unique outfits, inspired by Andean traditions, but above all to reveal their femininity, elegance and dignity. I also want to counteract the stereotype of the traditional Bolivian woman reconsider the Western vision sometimes dated this population.
If the images refer to postcards from anthropological photography of the early twentieth century, they also renew the perception of the local womanhood. Clothing and decorative indices of each cholita are holders of identity claims and social developments.

In some cases it's a battle for brands to walk that scarce difference between individual/inviting and dreadful/irregular.
It's truly difficult to strike the correct adjustment with regards to accomplishing a significant manner of speaking.
This is, to some extent, since you approach a huge number of snippets of data about your clients. You most likely know their identity down to the smallest subtle elements of their lives. With a little information looked into, you could possibly even discover what type of shoes they wear and which sort of puppy nourishment their schnauzer, Mr Scruffypants, leans toward.
The client information at your day by day transfer no doubt extends from general statistic patterns to buy data for their 2014 Prius.
So how would you put the greater part of that information to better use and ensure your advertising is close to home, without exceeding the budget and sounding unpleasant or odd?
This article will go through the key strategies and applications for you to consider, test and attempt.
Simply recollect that whatever stage you are at in your image journey, the tremendous ocean of information is equivalent amounts of accommodating and perilous. You must have the capacity to swim before you explore different avenues regarding profundity.
Keep in mind, clients need personalization.
It's normal learning that clients progressively need customized advertising to cross their path and to manufacture complementary associations with the organizations they work with.
Take a gander at these key discoveries from the 2017 Buyer Patterns Report from Kibo Trade:
85% of customers said customized advancements on a landing page impacted their buy choice
44% said they were impacted by focused suggestions on the item page
92% said inclination based suggestions in their shopping basket affected them before they finished their buy
55% said they were impacted by client steadfastness rebates and extra offers to finish their buy.
Web based business destinations always search
acted by client steadfastness rebates and extra offers to finish their buyfor new and inventive approaches to give clients a customized involvement over every computerized channel. Email showcasing stages like Battle Screen enable organizations to gather statistic information about their supporters, for example, age, sexual orientation and geo-area. Utilizing this information to send the correct email, at the ideal time, to the perfect individual, has been appeared to expand email income by 760%.
Be that as it may, do you recall the first occasion when you at any point sent an email utilizing a watchword that later appeared in a promotion on a sidebar?
It was unusual, and spookily perceptive, isn't that so?
While today's purchaser may have become used to advertisements in light of their program history, you can at present profoundly affront a client by adopting an all powerful strategy that suggests you know a frightening measure of stuff about them.
So once more, the central issue remains, how would you give that individual touch without making clients feel like they're being stalked?
Here's the manner by which to do it right.
1. Utilize prescient investigation
Prescient investigation can be utilized as a part of heaps of various approaches to improve the client encounter.
It takes information from different clients who have perused and obtained a similar thing, to make recommendations about extra or exchange buys. For instance, when you arrange a camcorder for your child for Christmas, a shopping basket recommendation may remind you to purchase a memory card – something you could without much of a stretch have overlooked.
In the Client Choice Center point digital book, Pegasytems depicts the procedure as 'client cooperation memory'. Prescient investigation gathers all of data accessible about clients, from an essential profile to inclinations and temperaments, and utilizations it to convey constant guidance to client benefit staff and deals reps. Directly down to when to hand off to an administrator or another division, when to push for a deal or up-offer, and what to offer.
As such, it gives the staff or deals rep the data they have to address every client on an individual level, regardless of the possibility that they have no past affinity.
Knowing everything about your client – and about the conduct of comparable clients – is a center part to effective promoting. In the advanced first period, we're sufficiently fortunate to have innovation sufficiently refined to get that going.
Utilize it further bolstering your good fortune. Be that as it may, – and this is the exceedingly imperative "however" – let the hard offer alone for the question.
Recommend, don't push, the correct choice for your clients. You're attempting to customize, not push, your offer.
2. Know your specialty
It's insufficient any longer basically to offer merchandise and ventures. You have to give strong motivations to clients to like picking your business or brand. One approach to do this is to give a specialty administration that is customized to a particular calling or client base.
Regardless of the possibility that your item or administration is wide, you might have the capacity to tailor your offering to talk straightforwardly to a specialty fragment. This is another type of personalization.
Vista School thumps specialty division out of the recreation center by showcasing to a cut of the populace frequently totally disregarded: military life partners. These are individuals who confront colossal difficulties to promote their training and find important work while taking after their accomplices from base to base.
At its center, personalization is making the correct offer to the correct gathering of people at the perfect time. Simply recall never to disparage individuals as you customize your offer. Talk straightforwardly to your specialty, not down to it.
Indeed, even with every one of the information readily available, you ought to never accept that you know every one of the appropriate responses.
3. Talk social
Organizations that have figured out how to successfully utilize social information investigation have a particular favorable position on the social front.
The Brandwatch Social Standpoint report inspected key discoveries from 450 brands in 15 key industry divisions.
Quantifiable variables included social perceivability, general perceivability, net assessment, achieve development, engagement, and substance.
Investigate the breakdown beneath for the car business.
Does it come as an astonishment to you that the top components specified in auto discussions are oftentimes about power and speed? No, in light of the fact that their online networking showcasing is custom-made to their specialty. They've figured out how to talk social, while staying specialized.
A key indicate recall with online networking personalization is that posts with photographs by and large get a lot of general engagement, while recordings are shared at more than double the rate.
4. Ask clients questions
Take personalization to an unheard of level by routinely leading client reviews.
Net Promoter Score (NPS) procedure offers an approach to get quantifiable input and let the client reveal to you what they need to let you know; not solicit them a cluster from inquiries they may not be occupied with replying, and that may predisposition their answers.
Another pleasant thing about the NPS application is that it enables you to monitor diverse client sections after some time, in addition to you can assemble input from your client base in the medium they are most OK with – email, the web or SMS.
When you get client criticism, the trap is to close the circle with your clients and let them know how you are consolidating their input. Generally the personalization drops out before the circle is finished – and keeping in mind that you might not have been frightening, the approach seems odd.
Adaptable and divided studies like the one on the Pleased dashboard underneath help give your clients a voice and make them feel esteemed. The appropriate responses include another informational collection and additionally new measurements to your client persona.
You'll generally have the capacity to get an extraordinary vibe for client feeling in light of customized reactions to outbound studies.
For horrendously genuine knowledge, take a stab at surveying purchasers who didn't purchase from you. Make a sectioned rundown of individuals who dropped out of the pipeline or relinquished their shopping basket.
Check whether you can recognize designs among this client section and utilize it to pick up knowledge into issues inside your business to enhance your general correspondence.
5. Utilize #hashtags mindfully
Utilizing hashtags offers an incredible approach to streamline content, however there is an unequivocal hashtag behavior included.
Hashtags can be general class catchphrases like #marketing or #travel, or references to a particular occasion or brand discourse. Basically, they put all online networking posts with the same hashtags in the same conversational categorize.
Joining other industry-related discussions is an awesome approach to discover new clients, participate in a discussion or simply snoop around a subject (or item). In any case, taking a hashtag or occasion slogan to tout your organization or item more often than not closes severely.
It's poor shape to boot.
A case of flippant hashtagging would be on the off chance that you needed to get your shoe repair business saw and attempted to pick up supporters by hashtagging well known shoe brands to capture their crowd.
In addition to the fact that you would disturb your rivals, you'd foul up the virtual list of web-based social networking posts and chafe the clients who set aside the opportunity to peruse your online networking sustains.
Try not to utilize endless or irregular hashtags in an apathetic endeavor to customize your business, either, similar to this one: #myshoebusinessisnotonlyannoyingbutsuperconfusedabouthowtousehashtagsresponsibly.
Do make your own hashtags that clients will love, however make certain to put some idea into them and utilize them sparingly.
Additionally, confine your hashtags to close to five for every post. This will make your image look less 'spammy'.
6. Screen your notoriety
This is especially significant with regards to ensuring your online networking notoriety.
The way that 80% of buyers utilize online networking to settle on their purchasing choices ought to give you a truly capable motivator to think about your web-based social networking notoriety.
What it comes down to is learning – not quite recently the amassing of information, but rather the capacity to create noteworthy bits of knowledge about how and where to connect with your clients, what to offer them (and when), and how to deal with your online closeness.


text: Surreal doesn't quite describe yesterday's goings on with Syria, the United States, and, apparently, the international community's new white knight: Russia. In short, as President Obama appeared on six different television shows to make his case for military action against Syria, Secretary of State John Kerry, in a bout of diplomatic improv, posited that were the Assad regime to yield the contents of its chemical weapons program to international monitors, it could avoid an American strike. That's when things got kooky.Well, things initially got kooky once Kerry said that any U.S. attack against Syria would be "unbelievably small," but then things really got bizarre when some Syrian officials, goaded by their Russian allies, seemed to endorse the plan, giving it some patina of legitimacy.Sergey V. Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, said early Monday that Syria could avoid an attack by putting its chemical weapons in the hands of monitors and agreeing to ultimately eliminate its massive arsenal of poison gas. It was an idea that was quickly praised by top officials in Syria and some lawmakers in the United States.\n\n\n\n"It's possible," Mr. Obama said on CNN of the Russian proposal, "if it's real."Over at Bloomberg, Jeffrey Goldberg had some questions about the development from the technical to the strategic to the philosophical. Here are a few, but read the rest:6. How do you possibly verify that Assad has given up all of his chemical weapons? The Syrian regime possesses hundreds of tons of these munitions.\n\n\n\n7. Does Syria get to keep its biological weapons under this still nonexistent deal?\n\n\n\n8. If the U.S. gives up the idea of an attack, would the remaining moderate rebels, so dispirited, start moving toward the al-Qaeda column?\n\n\n\n9. How do you secure and transport all of these chemical-weapons components in the midst of a horrifically violent civil war?Most importantly, does Assad just go back to killing willy nilly without chemical weapons?The whole development may be for naught anyhow. Despite his stated preference for embracing the diplomatic track, President Obama addressing the entire American media (he'll speak to the American people tonight) pledged to keep "the pedal to the metal" on a congressional resolution to strike Syria.As he was in the midst of his media lap, the not-so-long and not-so-awaited interview between Charlie Rose and the Syrian dictator himself Bashar Assad was aired. Amid the manipulative flush of talking points made by Assad, he warned of "repercussions" if America were to strike Syrian installations. President Obama responded to the threat in a later interview."Well, actually, we know what Assad's capabilities are, and, you know, Mr. Assad's are significant compared to a bunch of opposition leaders, many of whom are not professional fighters," the president said Monday evening. "They're significant relative to over 400 children that were gassed. They're not significant relative to the U.S. military."[Drops microphone. Exits.]

July was a great month. We had a little family vacation. The rest of the time, the kids were working at good jobs, learning stuff, and making money. We've had down time — a nice change of pace from the mad rush of the school year. Emily is getting ready to go to college, so there has been some Bed, Bath & Beyond shopping. Between the medical forms, and supply lists, it has felt a lot like getting her ready to go to summer camp. All fine.
Now it's August and reality is setting in. We are making reservations for hotel rooms for the drop-off weekend, and trying to sort through some first-time, "growing up" decisions: Do we give her spending money for the things we would provide her at home? Are these now her expenses? Does she need to tell us when she is traveling off campus, or do we no longer have the right or need to know where she is? If she makes a road trip to visit her boyfriend at his college, is that any of our business? Is her information her own, or, for educational and medical matters, do we have any role in her world anymore?
Will she sign a FERPA disclosure form, and a HIPAA authorization? Until recently, I didn't know these things existed, much less that I would have to ask Emily to execute them. As if her departure for college weren't hard enough, the federal government has determined that she has legal rights, and that her independence is not just an ideal, or a shaded course on the continuum of maturity. It is a statutorily protected fact, and she may guard it, or, as we hope, keep the information loop open.
FERPA, or The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, is a federal law designed to protect the privacy of students' educational records. It applies to schools that receive federal funds, which means pretty much every college. Once a student turns 18, information from his or her student record cannot be shared with others—including parents—unless he or she gives explicit written permission. I spent a few minutes on the phone with a nice gentleman from the US Department of Education, and he directed me to this model disclosure form: http://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/safeschools/modelform2.html You can get there yourself by going to www.ed.gov. Search "FERPA model disclosure form." If your college-age child signs this form, you will be able to access his or her educational records. Without it, you will not.
Likewise, your child's medical records are strictly protected by HIPAA. Most of us are familiar with this federal law (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), and its privacy rule, which regulates the use and disclosure of protected health information. What comes as a surprise to many parents, though, is that our college freshmen, whose bills we are generally paying and whose insurance we are generally providing, have protected health information, too. If Emily is in an accident, and receives medical attention, it is entirely in the care provider's discretion and judgment as to whether he or she will disclose health information about Emily to us. I do believe that if she were lying unconscious in a hospital after a car accident, the doctor would tell us what happened and that she needs care. But for other, less critical, matters, it may be a question of privacy. Unless, of course, she signs a release and authorization, indicating that we may access the information. The US Department of Health and Human Services (Office of Civil Rights, which administers the Privacy Rule of HIPAA) would not provide a model release, but you can find examples online. Just search HIPAA authorization form.
As with so many of these first-time considerations, I don't know the right answer. Should she give us access to the information or not? However it gets answered, I do think it is worth some thought and discussion with Emily. Poor child – first born. We have to learn so much at her expense. Including how, and when, to let go.

"Many things I asked during clinics or rotations couldn't be answered by physicians," Al-Rousan recalls. "They would tell me, maybe you should pursue a degree in public health because your questions are tackling social determinants of health, health disparities, and access to… READ MORE
A Quest for Clean Water
Water has been a consistent theme running through Kelly Baker's work, one that has led her from her home state of Oklahoma to California, Mexico, India, Ghana, and elsewhere around the globe.

Do you know the term in the title of this blog? It's an engineering description that means the greatest vertical angle at which something loose, like sand or dirt or rock can be piled before it slides down on itself. That's my interpretation at least – but I think it captures the spirit, if not the letter of the definition. I only know this because it happens to be the title of one of my favorite books by Wallace Stegner.
I was dozing on a bus ride back from Rajasthan today and I could hear my mother pointing at something through the window, saying "look – an angle of repose". I don't know what she saw, but in my dreamy, sleepy state, I thought – that's India! Everything here perches just on the edge of falling back down on itself: the temporary and permanent settlements that line the streets; the plastic water containers and other junk piled high on the roofs; the tangled mess of electrical wires that somehow deliver electricity; the chaos of vendors and beggars and customers in markets; the impenetrable yet working bureaucracy; the way people unofficially fill the void where systems fail or simply don't exist at all, like trash collection. There's even a Hindi word that means "temporary solution" to what in India appears to me to be permanent problems. Yet somehow, it all seems to work despite the precarious nature of everything here.
All of this really exhausts me sometimes, like right now – I'm in one of those moods where I could curse in every sentence, but won't, because it would only reinforce my mother's argument that I'm too damned stressed. Confirmed by my stepfather who asked me the other day, "Why are we always rushing?" I love them both dearly and they are my first house guests here in India and they get special kudos for their enthusiasm. So, to answer John's question: We're always rushing because there are too many people in India. Too many means that it takes too long to get anywhere and too long to get anything done, which always makes me late and so, I'm always rushing… perhaps to keep atop my own angle of repose.
My favorite line this week: Now Theo, go to your Bollywood dance class and RELAX. (Mom, are you reading my blogs?)
Relaxing is not possible in this class, but I am having fun. I've decided that Bollywood dance is great for the aging brain, if not the aging body. The moves are quick and there are lots of steps to remember – and I'm feeling wonderfully silly trying to look sexy.
Surprisingly, I haven't been late to class once…
But I rush getting there!
It's obvious that my parents think I've grown a bit edgy after six months in Delhi, but it's difficult for visitors to understand that one really does have to be assertive to avoid being pummeled in the local fight for survival. There are days when I feel as though I've lived through a fifteen-round boxing match. You need to have heightened awareness of the intricacies of being ripped-off, know how to protect yourself, and keep good humored through it all if you are to survive years of living here. For example – you can't hop in a taxi and assume the driver will set the meter. You have to tell him to do it – because if you don't, he won't and you will find yourself arguing over cost upon arrival. Or this: you call the plumber to fix one problem in the house – and when you come home he's created a second problem by disassembling the water heater (NOT the reason for the call) because it was "leaking". When you say, NO, it wasn't leaking, he reassembles the water heater and then, guess what? It doesn't work! Or the imposter government gas leak checker: You let him into the house and upon inspection, the stove has a huge hole gouged into the plastic gas piping. I could bore you with endless encounters like this that line my days and turn me into a raving pre-menopausal bitch on the bad ones, and a fateful participant in an economy that seems to get the best of me on the good days.
Yet still, I love my life here. Genuinely love it… even for the irritating yet funny things like this laughably classic entrance into the Sarajkund crafts fair. Notice that the women, of which there are far more attending the fair than men, are forced to wait in the hot sun because there are only TWO security checks for them to pass through. Look closely at the FOUR empty entrances to the left. They are reserved for the men:
Here's another taste of the traffic. I forget where I was heading when I shot this – but it was an insignificant morning errand last week made significant by a splitting headache from all the damn beeping. At the time, I remember thinking how nuts this was in comparison to the relative peace I had last summer running errands in California, Arizona, Washington state, and NYC:
Ok – Time to brag about my kids. They have yet to disappoint me when it comes to dragging them around a developing country in conditions less than five star (although they're accustomed to THAT as well…). We have just ended a trip to Rajasthan and through it all, they were brilliant. They weathered in good spirits the 5.5 hour bus ride from Delhi to Jaipur (not as depressing as it could have been and not as comfy as it could have been); patiently toured forts and palaces, bravely clung to rickety rickshaws in traffic many of you can't even begin to fathom; bargained good naturedly with pesky vendors; peed without wincing in filthy bathrooms and ate the local fare (unrecognizable meat and vegge in sauce) without whining. George even tried to protect me when after five minutes of continuous hassle from a guy trying to sell me a wooden elephant – he turned to the man and in a loud and firm 7-year-old voice said – "Did you hear her? She doesn't want to buy it!"
We dipped into Rajasthan with a trip to Jaipur, an ancient city that sits on the edge of the desert. It's one big dusty bizarre of winding streets, vendors, camels and crumbling mughal and Rajput architecture. We had fun and it was a good foray outside of Delhi. I'm hoping to go further into Rajasthan – actually, all the way to its western border with Pakistan to a place called Jalsamer later this spring to celebrate a friend's 40th birthday. It's a living fort in the Tar desert. I'm dreaming of white tents and camels and a carpet of stars and shifting sand dunes perched at their angle of repose…
And in photos – here's what we've been up to – First, a tour of Tughlaquabad, an ancient fort on the south-side of the city. I'm standing with my mother and step-father:

I finally found a Starbucks with wifi! We've been on some unbelievable adventures over the past few days. We left Springfield and headed for Chattanooga, Tennessee to see my Uncle Wayne. We took a slight detour and spent a couple of days with Kendra's friend from high school, Adriane, who lives in collierville. None of us had any expectations of the stopover, but it turned out to be highly enjoyable.
The stormy weather followed us all the way there. The five hour trip was a breeze with our well-travelled kiddos. The van is a great road-trip vehicle. the twins nap, watch movies, and are finally getting used to just observing the world around them.
As we arrived there was a break in clouds. I headed towards the neighborhood park with the twins. They needed to get some exercise.
They monkeyed around the playground equipment for a few moments and then a storm came rushing through.
We got caught in the rain, but rather than stand around on the porch of the community center we played in the rain and got soaked in the process.
One of the most memorable times of the entire trip was laughing and being silly while getting drenched.
Since it was raining we found some indoor fun. Layla benefited from Adriane's daughter's old clothes. She found a treasure trove of leotards and tutus.
We only had one full day with Adriane. Kendra spent the day with her and I hung out with the twins.
I took them to a local BBQ place called Corkey's. When I told Layla she was eating catfish, this was her expression:
That is priceless! Both of them enjoyed eating BBQ pork and catfish. They could definitely get used to eating southern food. We went to the Pink Palace expecting some kid friendly activity center. However, when we arrived the ticket counter guy mentioned the exhibits were more geared towards older kids. I was a bit disappointed, but then realized the planetarium was starting in 2 minutes. 1 minute was used to buy tickets. The other minute was used to convince Layla there was nothing scary about the show.
Easton and Layla loved the show. It was about how to spot constellations in the night sky and gave the history of what the names mean and the wives tales stories they represent. I can't wait to sit on the dock of lake Nacogdoches and show them the constellations. The stars DO shine bright deep in the heart of Texas.
Then we went down the street to the science center. Even though we have one of these in Phoenix I knew each one has their own exhibits and flair. I had fun being a kid running around with them and they had a ball exploring. The sign at the entrance said something like, "touch anything and everything!" We sure did. Their favorite exhibit was a replica cargo jet and control tower. The mach plane was huge with an old-school cockpit.
The police motorcycle and car and fire trucks were a big hit, but only provided about 10 seconds of entertainment because they weren't interactive much.
They also played in a vertical maze of platforms and chicken wire. They even helped some poor kid who was stuck and couldn't find his way out. Made me proud to watch them work together and be so kind to a stranger.
The seesaw was much more popular than I imagined. They giggled and rocked up and down as if they were on a Disneyland ride.
While the kids and I were out adventuring for a day Kendra and Adriane were touring the city by themselves and catching up on old times. One of the places they went was to an old farm outside of town where their airplane is stored. The farm has a grass runway and a quad. When we all got together a little later we came up with the brilliant idea of going there to shoot fireworks and ride the quad. Here's a picture of the tree-lined road we drove to get there.
The twins climbed up into their airplane in the hanger and pretended to fly away.
As we waited for the sun to go down we took turns riding the quad. This was Easton and Layla's first time riding any kind of quad or cycle. Kendra and Adriane took it for a test drive to make sure everything was safe.
Then Layla had a turn with Mommy. Screams and giggles were obvious signs of enjoyment.
Easton wasn't intimidated at all by the speed or terrain. he's a city boy, but after conquering Space Mountain and Darth Maul at Disneyland his confidence to take on something new is greatly increased!
Then Kendra and I took a sunset lovers ride through the meadow. I gladly hung onto her tightly as we shared a silly, kid-fun moment.
When the sun was gone it was time for big booms and fireworks! Easton waited for days to do this.
The firework package and extras we purchased provided plenty of loud, big, and fun explosions. I let them light the fireworks one after another late into the night.
The sleep schedule was completely thrown off during this vacation, but sometimes its OK to make exceptions when there is a reason to do so. There have been several late nights and even a few sleep-in mornings. imagine that! Easton slept past 7:15 AM.
I'm in a Starbucks bumming the wifi signal, but need to get back to the adventures. I'll work on the Chattanooga leg of our vacation off-line at the lake house. :)
See you soon! (whenever I find another wifi signal.

It's All About Jesus
Spirit of Prophecy Bulletin
SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS:
Beloved, I want you to be aware that you will encounter situations that require extraordinary patience to get through. You can't force anything, but you can trust Me to give you wisdom as perfect order is being established. Open your mind and heart to learn things that you would otherwise not have opportunity to understand. Never doubt that I am with you and that I am directing your steps, says the Lord.
Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
I read the Spirit of Prophecy Bulletin for today. I may have been encouraged. Thank You Jesus!
I entered my prayer closet at 3:30 AM. I praised the Lord with song, confessed my sins, thanked the Lord and prayed for the sick.
I prayed for a passage of scripture for today's blog. I may have been led to Galatians 5. Thank You Jesus!
I logged onto the website to pray for outstanding prayer requests. Thank You Jesus for answering each prayer request according to Your perfect will, in Your name. Amen.

Donald Trump's White House chief of staff Reince Priebus and senior advisor Stephen K. Bannon appeared before a packed house at CPAC on Thursday, rallying conservatives to support the president's agenda and taking shots at the media.
During a panel moderated by CPAC's Matt Schlapp, Bannon repeatedly referred to the media as the "opposition party.
"When you look at the opposition party and how they portrayed the campaign, how they portrayed the transition, and now portraying the administration, it's always wrong," Bannon said.
Bannon said Trump was "maniacally focused" on implementing his agenda, which he detailed in all of his campaign speeches.
The media, Bannon added, kept getting the story wrong — particularly on the reported "chaos" in the administration.
"Just like they were dead wrong on the chaos of the campaign, and just like they were dead wrong on the chaos of the transition, they're absolutely dead wrong about what's going on today, because we have a team that's just grinding it through on what President Donald Trump promised the American people," Bannon said. "And the mainstream media better understand something. All those promises are going to be implemented."
The pair denied reports that they were at war with each other at the White House, cracking jokes about their differences.
"Regarding us two, I think the biggest misconception is everything that you're reading," Priebus said, prompting laughter from the crowd.
Bannon praised Trump for ignoring all of the people who tried to tell him what his agenda should be, despite his campaign promises.
"He was like, 'No, I promised the American people this, and this is the plan we're going to execute,'" Bannon said.

Placing itself within the burgeoning field of world literary studies, the organising principle of this book is that of an open-ended dynamic, namely the cosmopolitan-vernacular exchange.
As an adaptable comparative fulcrum for literary studies, the notion of the cosmopolitan-vernacular exchange accommodates also highly localised literatures. In this way, it redresses what has repeatedly been identified as a weakness of the world literature paradigm, namely the one-sided focus on literature that accumulates global prestige or makes it on the Euro-American book market.
How has the vernacular been defined historically? How is it inflected by gender? How are the poles of the vernacular and the cosmopolitan distributed spatially or stylistically in literary narratives? How are cosmopolitan domains of literature incorporated in local literary communities? What are the effects of translation on the encoding of vernacular and cosmopolitan values?
Ranging across a dozen languages and literature from five continents, these are some of the questions that the contributions attempt to address.Book Details
Why is the Isle of Dogs in the Thames called Isle of Dogs? Did King Canute's men bring English usage back to Jutland? How can we find out where English speakers suck their breath in to give a short response? And what did the Brontës do about dialect and think about foreign languages?
The answers are in this collection of empirical work on English past and present in honour of Nils-Lennart Johannesson, Professor of English Language at Stockholm University. The first five chapters report individual studies forming an overview of current issues in the study of Old and Middle English phonology, lexis and syntax. The next six look at Early Modern and Modern English from a historical point of view, using data from corpora, manuscript archives, and fiction. Two more look at the Old English scholar JRR Tolkien and his work. The remaining chapters discuss aspects of Modern English. Several use corpora to look at English usage in itself or in relation to Swedish, French, or Norwegian. The last three look at grammatical models, the pragmatics of second language use, and modern English semantics.Book Details
In Platonic Occasions, Richard Begam and James Soderholm reflect upon a wide range of thinkers, writers and ideas from Plato, Descartes and Nietzsche to Shakespeare, the Romantics and the Moderns — from Evil, Love and Death to Art, Memory and Mimesis. The dialogues suggest that Percy Shelley was right when he claimed "We are all Greeks," and yet what have we learned about the initiatives of culture and literature since our classical predecessors? Begam and Soderholm's ten dialogues function as a series of dual-meditations that take Plato as an intellectual godfather while presenting a new form of dialogic knowledge based on the friction and frisson of two minds contending, inventing and improvising. The authors discuss not only what is healthy and vigorous about Western culture but also consider where that culture is in retreat, as they seek to understand the legacy of the Enlightenment and its relation to the contemporary moment. Platonic Occasions is an experiment in criticism that enjoins the reader to imagine what the dialogic imagination can do when inspired by Platonic inquiry, but not bound by a single master and the singular mind. Beyond Socratic maieutics and Cartesian meditation is a form of intellectual interplay where it is impossible not to be of two minds.Book Details

Why Are My Teeth Stained
We can all suffer from stained teeth, they can get stained for many reasons; the biggest culprits are without a doubt – Smoking and drinking dark coloured drinks such as coffee, tea and red wine. Other drinks, in particular acidic fruit juices and fizzy (carbonated) drinks can also cause staining to appear.
Is There An Easy Way To Stop My Teeth Getting Stained
The easiest and most obvious way would be to stop eating and drinking the things that cause the staining, but this is easier said than done for most of us.
One way that we can do to reduce staining especially caused by drinking is by using a straw; this would help protect the front teeth, especially when drinking cold drinks. Alternatively its advisable to rinse the mouth out with clean water immediately after drinking or eating.
Some Other Causes Of Teeth Staining
Medications are a common cause of teeth staining, some antibiotics in particular are main culprits. Two of the worst are Minocyline and Tetracycline, these can leave a bluish coloured stain that is very hard to remove. Other medicines including antihistamines are also known to cause dark staining.
Ageing has a staining effect on our teeth, as the enamel gradually thins with age, it starts to show the yellowish under layer (called Dentin) through.
Genetics can and will also determine the strength and whiteness of your teeth.
If In Doubt – Remember This Rule
If The Food Or Drink That I Am Eating Would Stain My Carpet – Its More Than Likely That It Will Stain My Teeth
How To Avoid Tooth Staining
Always try and clean your teeth, or at least rinse the mouth out with water after eating or drinking. Keep to a regular dental care regime, make sure that you visit your dentist twice a year and brush at least twice a day. Flossing is also essential to ensure that any trapped foodstuff is removed.
How To Get Rid Of Teeth Staining
If daily cleaning will not reduce the staining, then have a think about Teeth Whitening, this procedure is highly effective at lifting and removing most types of teeth staining to leave the teeth clean and generally whiter.
Many Dental Surgeries throughout Ireland offer this service and costs will generally range from €190 – €500 depending on your location
These high costs do put many people off, but the advanced development of good home teeth whitening kits has made the treatment far more affordable and easy for anybody to get whiter teeth.
A good home whitening kit uses the same materials and methods as employed by a dental surgeon, but usually at a fraction of the cost of professional whitening services.
One Kit to consider is the one supplied by Smile4You. Originating from the USA over 16 years ago, the kit delivers FDA approved, professional and often instant results (up to 11 shades whiter in just 14 days) at a mere fraction of the cost charged by your local dental surgery.
With kits starting at € 22.43, Smile4you offers great value for money

Having any kind of condition whether physical or mental is certainly going to provide its challenges, but there is also cause to believe that certain aspects of life are made easier as a result of being on the spectrum.
Most people who have some form of Autism take sizable amounts of time mulling over how much easier life could be if they were neurotypical, but never seem to appreciate that they may benefit from the fact they see the World in a completely different plight.
I have endured an incredibly turbulent life so far with many ups and downs, most of which stem from my Asperger's diagnosis. Whenever things seem really tough and frustrating, I always put the blame on my Aspie traits and use it to help justify my actions.
Every single person has parts of their personality that works in their favour and other areas that can usually hinder certain aspects of every day life. So instead of dwelling over the negative implications of having Asperger Syndrome, perhaps it's time to acknowledge certain quirks that can actually improve your well-being and quality of life.
Below are some of the things I think have benefited me as a result of having Asperger Syndrome. I am incredibly proud of what I have managed to achieve in my life so far and certainly believe my personality and autistic lifestyle is a huge factor.
Strong Organisation Skills
I love being organised and having an incredibly well thought out structure for when certain things need to be done. This is huge feature behind a lot of people on the spectrum who are always looking to streamline their routine to ensure things run smoothly all the time. This can be hugely beneficial for a number of things that can often be completed to a much higher standard with the adherence to strong organizational skills.
Last year I finished my third year of University and utilized my desire to get things completed in a strict manner to great effect. The nagging feeling of having work that needed to be finished all the time meant I was able to use my constant desire to start things incredibly early to great effect.
Everything was tackled straight away and gave me an abundance of extra time at the end of term to brush over anything that needed to be slightly altered before final submission. Each day was planned to the second and all the work was regimented with impeccable levels of detail.
The other fundamental aspect behind organization I have always been obsessed with is being incredibly early for things. This has stemmed all the way back to Primary School where I would leave with a considerable amount of time on my hands in order to get to the building with plenty of time to spare.
This is also a good thing for me as I've always strived to be early for work and any job interviews where turning up with time on your hands makes you look sharp and keen. I think being organised with time is something most Aspies love and is a really strong defence mechanism to shield against the unpredictable and often spontaneous nature of life.
Lack of Social Interest
I've never really been bothered by any key social aspects of life and have very rarely taken part in any activities or events that require you to be interested in other people. The whole concept of talking about arbitrary subjects like how your children are doing at School or the current weather conditions have always been lost to me. I have always held the belief that you should only talk if you are able to provide something worth listening to.
A lot of people endure a number of troubles as a result of falling out and disagreeing with other people when it comes to social parameters. This can take up quite a lot of your emotional allowance which could hinder your ability to work and get things done. With a lack of interest in social activity, you are free from the troublesome nature of worrying about what other people are thinking and saying.
This is another thing that has benefited me since one of the biggest problems you are likely to face in life is people. By focusing on more academic subject matter, you are really harnessing your mind and allowing the capacity to grow and develop important knowledge that can help you achieve your desired career goals.
Take Sheldon Cooper from the Big Bang Theory, who many people believe is implied to have Asperger Syndrome. In the early seasons of the show, he does not care about relationships and any core social convention. His sole aim is to develop further understanding of his chosen field of study and channel his acclaimed mind into discovering new things in the scientific arena.
Obsessing Over Things
I have always had at least one thing at a time where I have developed a deep routed obsession. Anyone with Asperger Syndrome is likely to do the same which can be hugely beneficial if you pick the right subject matter. Being obsessed means you are going to put all your time and energy into learning all aspects of your chosen topic, giving you a well-rounded level of knowledge and expertise.
Over the years, the biggest obsession I've had was over sports stats from previous seasons. I would write up databases with all the important information so that I could memorise and digest all the facts and figures needed to become a walking encyclopaedia. This became so ingrained into my mind that I even had deep knowledge of games stretching back as far as the early 1970's.
In work and education, being obsessed with certain things can only be a benefit with your ability to grow as a person. Typically, people with Asperger's love numbers and concrete information, so any mathematical subjects are likely to be undertaken with a certain level of gusto and enthusiasm. Also, being a perfectionist in a work setting means you are going above and beyond to get things completed with optimum levels of accuracy and precision.

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
Eric Paulos works a dream job at Intel Research Berkeley, a suite of labs and offices on the top floor of the Power Bar building. The lucky staffers are invited to dabble, experiment, create, and play. There's no such thing as proprietary information at this lab, so they're encouraged to collaborate with outside researchers. Maybe the projects they work on will have commercial applications for Intel somewhere down the line ... or maybe not. The lab's principle is that researchers shouldn't focus too much on the end goal, because they might then miss an interesting turn along the way.
"What do I do in the world?" Paulos asks, reflectively. "I wander around. I might wonder what direction I'm facing, how hard the wind is blowing, whether there are pollens in the air if I have allergies, if the water is safe to drink, or how long can I stay outside before I get a sunburn."
These mundane musings are the root of Paulos' latest art installation/research project/activist campaign. In his five years with Intel, Paulos has been meandering down a path he calls "participatory urbanism." Perhaps you think you're already participating in your city's life by negotiating traffic, walking your dog, shopping locally, but Paulos wants more. He wants you to take note of the environment that can be all but forgotten in a landscape of office towers and freeways. He's hoping to use the ubiquitous technology of cell phones to bring humans into a deeper relationship with the urban environment, thus bringing about a cleaner, greener world.
His current work centers on air quality. He created a program that sends users text messages with current EPA air quality data on command, and is also building handheld sensors that measure levels of ozone, carbon monoxide, and several other smoggy pollutants. Paulos envisions a day when these sensors can be built into our cell phones, and thinks this could create legions of "citizen scientists" who could modify their pollution-causing behavior or start grassroots campaigns for stricter environmental regulations.
Cell phones are Paulos' muse, or maybe even his obsession. "I want to get people to question what these phones can be," he says, "and create these things that ultimately look nothing like a phone."
His latest projects are currently on display at San Francisco's Southern Exposure gallery, in a new exhibit about air quality — in fact, Paulos' research projects often end up in art festivals and museums such as the SFMOMA and the Yerba Buena Center. Paulos says he likes putting his work into art forms, because it makes them more accessible to the public, and more likely to spark a debate.
Paulos' air quality sensors will be taken for a test run on the afternoon of Saturday, March 29, when willing citizen scientists are invited to gather at Southern Exposure gallery. Paulos will hand out an assortment of sensors that detect anything from decibels to carbon monoxide, and the participants will then wander off to explore their urban landscape. "In one way, it's sort of a happening — a free-form performance with a piece of technology," says Paulos. "But in academic light, it's a user study."
Paulos' boss, lab director Eric Brewer, says that Paulos' work "is not short-term strategic," which could be described as an understatement. "He works on things that are important for the industry," says Brewer, "but not this quarter, not this year." But Brewer points out that smart phones are on the same trajectory as PCs were in the 1990s, making startling gains in power and utility every year. "It's not Eric's job to come up with the right microprocessor for a phone, but to explore the future, interesting uses for these phones," he says.
That job apparently comes naturally to Paulos. While he's currently working on what could be described as activist phones, he has also designed phone-based projects that have no purpose other than eliciting "wonderment." In an art project titled "Hullabaloo," Paulos placed devices in public places that identified the unique Bluetooth signal of each phone that went by in a pocket or handbag, and assigned each one a different musical riff. Then it mashed up the riffs of all the cell phones that were within range, and played a constantly shifting symphony.
But back to air quality: although Intel isn't going to start building activist phones in the next quarter, Paulos has been busily scheming up applications for his work. He's currently talking with San Francisco's Department of Public Works about mounting sensors on street sweepers to make a detailed, block-by-block map of air quality. He's also determined to bring the technology to developing world cities, where foul air, produced by burning garbage and ancient cars, is a critical issue. In March 2007, he deployed handheld and taxi-mounted sensors around Accra, Ghana.
Not only is the smog problem more intense in developing nations, but if Paulos could insert sensors into mobile phones, a grassroots campaign could also take more immediate effect. "In the developing world, people are leapfrogging over desktop computing," Paulos says. "The mobile phone is becoming the computing platform." There! Did you hear it? Just for a minute, Paulos sounded less like an art freak or a student organizer and more like a corporate employee.

|Match Report
T3 vs Valley Griffins – "Oh that feels good! We were short in the front and we were playing a team who beat us before heavily Christmas. On the paper it was a game that we would hardly come first. We started by losing possession of the ball, Valley showed strong commitment in the rucks and the scrums but somehow it was like everyone on the pitch felt something click in their head. We were to dominate this game. Not the prettiest scrums, not the smoothest line-outs but we kept possession of the pill. Great defence in the backs, stealing from Valley and we played simple Typhoons rugby
Happy to see the whole team enjoying being there with their mates as the game unfolded. We went over 5 times against once only for Valley. Boys, we started the final rounds of CL1-A in the best manner with the bonus point. Final score 33-5."

Ready to Up Your Entrepreneurial Game With Mentoring From A Tennis Great?
The Maria Sharapova Women's Entrepreneur Program—With Help From NAWBO—Will Mentor Female Entrepreneurs Starting This Spring
Five-time Grand Slam tennis champion Maria Sharapova has experienced some monumental moments in her career: Among them are in 2004, with her life-changing win at Wimbledon, and in 2012, with the launch of her own successful candy company, Sugarpova.
Now, in the spirit of philanthropy and women's empowerment, Maria announced this month that she is partnering with NAWBO National and the NAWBO Institute, along with her team, to mentor female entrepreneurs through the Sharapova Women's Entrepreneur Program. The program kicks off in Spring 2018 with a nationwide call for applicants, from which up to six businesswomen will be selected. Maria naturally turned to NAWBO as a partner for finding and identifying potential participants, and as a resource to help develop a robust curriculum for the 12-month-long mentorship program. Sales from Sugarpova will support the Sharapova Women's Entrepreneur Program.
"I only wish when I was starting out with my own company, Sugarpova, that I had a group of mentors and the team I have now to help guide and support me," says Maria. "I recognize that supporting women-owned businesses by sharing expertise and valuable business resources can have a dramatic impact on a business and can be a real catalyst for advancing the success of a business. Simply put, this partnership is about women helping women."
Over the past six years, Maria has learned the many business dimensions of starting a company with all the challenges and hurdles of real-world experience along the way. Being a young startup, Maria wore many hats in growing Sugarpova, her off-the-court business. With Sugarpova reaching global sales penetration with double-digit revenue growth the last several years, Maria decided the time is right to pay forward her well-honed business skills—joining with the hefty rolodex and strong relationships of her business team—and set aside time from her busy competitive tennis schedule to help other women entrepreneurs, via mentoring support and networking opportunities and allocating her team's resources to help grow these women's businesses.
"The NAWBO Institute is excited about partnering with Maria Sharapova to propel women to the next level of their business," says Loreen Gilbert, chair-elect of the National NAWBO Institute's Executive Board and president of WealthWise Financial Services. "She is an inspiration, who has graciously agreed to share her expertise, business savvy and tenacity to help other women excel."
Use this application to apply now.
More About the Program
The Sharapova Women's Entrepreneur Program will consist of six women business owners who are selected from a nationwide call for applicants. The program will run from June 2018 through July 2019, and is a cohort-based virtual/in-person hybrid program that will include mentorship, peer-to-peer support, mastermind and educational components to be delivered on a monthly basis by NAWBO and the Sharapova Business Resource Team led by Traub Consumer.
Through the Sharapova Women's Entrepreneur Program and NAWBO partnership, female businesswomen will be selected to receive support and resources from Maria's longtime marketing and business development teams as well as the NAWBO Institute. Each of the women selected will receive support from a range of both NAWBO and Maria's personal business resources in growing their business and in reaching their business goals.

A smart home gadget has made headlines after it called police to a home in New Mexico during a domestic dispute.
According to an ABC News story, Eduardo Barros was at home sitting with his girlfriend and her daughter Sunday night when the couple got into an argument and the altercation became physical.
Barros allegedly wielded a firearm on his girlfriend and asked her: "Did you call the sheriffs?" Google Home apparently interpreted it as "call the sheriffs," and obeyed the command to call 911.
Bernalillo County sheriffs deputies quickly responded to the call and removed the woman and her daughter from the home.
"The unexpected use of this new technology to contact emergency services has possibly helped save a life," Bernalillo County Sheriff Manuel Gonzales III told ABC News Go. "This amazing technology definitely helped save a mother and her child from a very violent situation."
Barros is being represented by a public defender and has not yet entered a plea, the court said.

Home ❯ News ❯ NetEnt Launches a Completely New Team-Building Project
NetEnt Launches a Completely New Team-Building Project
Swedish NetEnt is a well-known and highly respected name when it comes to online casino gaming.
With more than two decades of experience and an extensive portfolio of premium quality games, NetEnt is at the very top of this competitive industry.
Their latest move can be called revolutionary, since it may reshape the global views on business objectives and much more.
Introducing the Challenge
NetEnt is proud to present a global team-building project in the casino industry – the Challenge – which will completely change the notion of how should a working environment look like.
According to the company, the Challenge had been created to let everyone know what it was like to work at NetEnt.
The idea was to introduce people to their culture and the gaming industry and to do so, NetEnt had a somewhat unusual solution. This solution was an employee web series, set in the Alps, featuring four NetEnt staff members.
To put the company's values and culture to the test, these four are going to climb the mountain without any previous experience.
There are four episodes of the Challenge at this time, since the number may not be final:
The Booking
The Film Director
The Climbing Guide
The Innovators
The Desired Effects
The people behind the Challenge say they are hoping the series will provide a great effect among the company's employees, but also expect to draw the attention of the public.
The company's reputation will undoubtedly be influenced by the series, since it offers an innovative and unique approach to the team-building process.
Of course, the ultimate goal is to portray the company as an ideal workplace for young professionals around the globe.
About NetEnt
Founded back in 1996, NetEnt has since become one of the leaders in the industry, creating premium titles available to players around the globe in over 100 of the world's online casinos.
With a portfolio of 200 titles, it is easy to understand where does their reputation come from, while their 700 employees give their best to offer the games of the highest quality.

A recent study (S Naviglio et al. Inflamm Bowel Dis 2017; 23: 986-90) confirms that there is a low rate of ocular disease in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); in this cohort, half had Crohn's disease (CD) and half had ulcerative colitis.
In this single center study, 94 children with a median age of 13.4 yrs were offered ophthalmologic examination (2014-2016). None of these patients reported ocular symptoms. The authors assert that 70% had intestinal remission, though 64% had elevated fecal calprotectin levels (>100 mg/kg). Key finding: One patient (1.06%) had ocular finding of uveitis (previously diagnosed prior to study)
The authors indicate that hepatobiliary manifestations, present in 9, were the most common extraintestinal IBD manifestation (EIM). Arthropathy occurred in 8, cutaneous manifestations occurred in 6 and 'metastatic' CD occurred in 4.
My take: Ocular disease is an infrequent EIM in pediatric patients with IBD.
Related article: K Hata et al. Inflamm Bowel Dis 2017; 23: 1019-24. This article found that patients with EIMs were more likely to have chronic pouchitis after colectomy for ulcerative colitis. Overall, chronic pouchitis developed in 3.3%, 7.6% and 16.6% at 2, 5, and 10 years respectively. Key finding: preoperative EIM yielded a HR of 4.52.

Safety and Line Capacity in Railways – An Approach in Timed CSP
Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNCS, volume 7321)
Conference paper
- 556 Downloads
Railways need to be safe and, at the same time, should offer high capacity. While the notion of safety is well understood in the railway domain, the meaning of capacity is understood only on an intuitive and informal level. In this study, we show how to define and analyse capacity in a rigorous way. Our modelling approach builds on an established modelling technique in the process algebra Csp for safety alone, provides an integrated view on safety as well as capacity, and offers proof support in terms of (untimed) model checking.

Drones, the latest GPs driverless tractorand the biggest state-of-the-art combine harvester are not your usual featuresin a school day out. But this was no ordinary day out for 4000 of the countysprimary school pupils, this was the new look School Farm and Country Fair runby the Suffolk Agricultural Association at Trinity Park.
Now in its 14th year, the day,bathed in glorious sunshine, had plenty to excite the 7-9 year olds aboutadvances in food and farming. It provided them with the opportunity to gettheir hands very dirty in pursuit of knowledge. The youngsters from 103 schoolsground grains of rapeseed to produce oil and wheat to make flour, kneadeddough, composted, discovered how vegetables grow in the ground, how they tastewhen raw and then cooked up tasty dishes to sample. They made sausages, applecrumble, were enthralled to see a cow milked, watch the Carrot Show, learnedthe value of recycling, watched as sugar beet turned to powder to make theicing they used on a cake. They stroked animals, met the new jersey calf, heldtiny chicks and ducks and saw fleece skilfully shorn from sheep.
Outside in the new History Zone methods offarming from years gone by featuring Suffolk Horses were explained before thechildren moved forward several centuries to the Modern Farming Zone. This newarea revealed the effects of developments in technology in farming over theyears. A state of the art combine harvester moved across the field, new droneswere in action detecting weeds and crop ravaged areas. The driverless tractorthat moved using GPS technology amazed them. Even the farmers ambulance TheEast Anglian Air Ambulance landed in the Safety Zone, joining DHLs lorriesthat transport much of the grain within the country, and the police, alldemonstrating how the rural community works together.
This year, following discussions withteachers and exhibitors, the route around the site had been redesigned to bemore compact, minimising the journey between each of the nine Zones, allowingmore time for hands-on interactivity in each area and for the introduction ofstatic and moving machinery.
Its a great day for us to help childrenunderstand the importance and significance of food and farming, how it affectstheir lives and why we farm as we do, as well as all the other areas thatagriculture impacts on, said SFCF chairman John Taylor. Our task is to helpthem learn so they are equipped to make key decisions about food, health,nutrition and even their future careers. We have simplified the messages, bylinking key areas and exhibitors together so if a school is working on projectsin specific areas they can visit that Zone and find all the relevant people totalk to and look at it in a bit more depth.
Support from agricultural and foodbusinesses has continued to increase. There are now more than 90 exhibitors,including 10 new ones which also gives the children a chance to talk aboutcareers, although at this stage that is quite a way off for them, but theopportunity is there, he said.
Evidence of the significance and importanceof this day is demonstrated by the increased sponsorship of this event whichincludes at least 20 other local businesses, said John. The Felix ThornleyCobbold Agricultural Trust, Chadacre Agricultural Trust and The MorleyAgricultural Foundation have generously supported this event from the outset,but it is marvellous to have support from Healthy Ambitions and EDGE – Apprenticeships in Food and Farming.Theother vital aspect of the day is helping to build and develop relationshipsbetween schools and the farmers local to their areas. We try and link each oneof the 200 volunteer stewards to their nearest school for mutual futurebenefit, said John.
