Speaking cross-culturally: Analyzing a case
Cultural differences can affect us even in brief interchanges. What we think is important can show up in what we say, or what we expect other to say or how they respond. Analyzing even a short dialogue can reveal these issues.
Packaging targets at the China plant of a US multinational
Ms. Smith: You're not meeting your targets this month!
Mr. Zhao: Apologies…We're certainly trying our best!
Ms. Smith: But quotas are quotas! I want you to get the output stats up. By month end!
Mr. Zhao: We'll get our team together to research the situation. Don't worry! No problem!
Ms. Smith: Is it a supply and delivery snag? Seems like your old friend Zhang's production group is not getting their raw materials to you quickly enough for finishing.
Mr. Zhao: Their whole team is under a lot of pressure.
Ms. Smith: Pressure or no pressure, the company has targets to meet. I'll call Zhang up right now and get this squared away.
Mr. Zhao: No need to! It's OK. We can work it out among our groups. We'll take responsibility. Don't worry! No problem!
Ms. Smith: Zhang's responsible and I want this solved now! Let me just ring him, call him in, and get this sorted out.
Mr. Zhao: But…
Ms. Smith: [Putting the call through]
Mr. Zhao: Ohhh.. [turning silent, looking at the floor]
What values or other cultural dimensions do you think are at work beneath the surface of this conversation? How do you assess the approach each of the speakers are taking?
If you find situational dialogues like this helpful, we highly recommend Craig Storti's book Cross-cultural Dialogues (1994). This situation was an adaptation of a case similar to "A New Procedure."

Whistleblowing can be good for everyone (except the badies).Posted: 25 May 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: false claims act, mobbing, whistle blowing, whistleblowing Leave a comment
The only standout success as a law for whistleblowers is the United States 'False Claims Act'.
Whistleblowers can go to a lawyer and file a claim in Court. The claim is for the value lost to the Public (taxpayer) by fraud, corruption or incompetence in the public service, plus the penalty.
The total penalty under the False Claims Act is treble the value of the fraud. The whistle blower gets 15% to 30% of the penalty. The government gets the rest.
The US government has recovered one Billion US Dollars a year since 1986.
The Washington Post published today that the law is to be changed to include fraud in companies regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The controversy is whether the employer or company should be alerted by the whistleblower before filing the claim in Court.
The problem with forcing the whistleblower to go to the employer or company first is that whistleblowers are more frequently subjected to reprisals and destruction of their careers by the employer than they are to be valued. Their careers are often destroyed by bullying and mobbing. Employers appear to be more likely to 'cover-up' the fraud than they are to applaud the whistleblower.
There appears to be too great a conflict of interest for an organisation to regulate itself. Regulation needs to be external.
Hopefully Australia will embrace a law similar to the False Claims Act. Although intended to addresses fraud, it appears that it can be used to address the waste of taxpayer's funds through negligence or incompetence as well.

This week was exhausting, but ultimately rewarding. Mom has her new knees and is in a transitional facility for Physical Therapy to prepare her for getting around on her own at home. We hope to get some idea Monday when she'll be able to go home. If I were betting, I would not be surprised if they release her before the weekend.
She is walking with a walker, but even with that, she does so with better range of movement (and faster) than she was prior to the surgery. I'm really proud of her. :) Looking forward to daily news of her progress, and I'm looking forward to going back home to my folks next weekend. I know they've both been out of sorts for being apart, and I'm looking forward to seeing them both back at home, comfortable and bantering away.
I returned home early this morning to a happy reunion with teh puppehs, but it's the wee hours and they seem impatient for me to go to bed, for some reason. I think I'll accommodate my little darlings.

"New Nature" Romania's National Pavilion
Expo Dubai 2020
The solutions contest's purpose was selecting the best proposal for envisioning and creating Romania's National Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai for assigning the design and curatorial contract.
The theme of the "2020 Dubai Exhibition", to be held from October 20, 2020 to April 10, 2021, is "Connecting Minds, Creating the Future" and wishes to assert a global need for collaboration to inspire generations to develop partnerships between organizations, business sectors and geographical locations, as well as to better address the needs of a changing world.
For developing the main theme, 3 subthemes were chosen: opportunities, mobility and sustainability, which are the expo's main physical sections. Romania picked the sustainability section, where it will build a national pavilion, where for 6 months activities specific for an international expo will be held: artistic & diplomatic events, permanent and temporary expos, hospitality and intercultural dialogue actions.
"New Nature" is the concept of the pavilion and the exhibition on which the entire project is built. We find ourselves and the planet in a very fragile equilibrium that cannot be sustained any longer. There-fore an urgent revision is necessary in order to reconnect rethink and recreate our future. This approach of finding a new valuable equilibrium we named New Nature." – say the authors.

Skip to 0 minutes and 9 seconds Things that come out of research projects must go somewhere. If it just goes to an academic journal, then that's not going to be read by many people who can make a change. So we need to find other ways of disseminating results, but when we do that, we have to be so careful. We have to be careful, particularly, with small data sets, where people can be identified. So often, in qualitative research– for instance– people will use a quote from an interview and in that quote is something that can identify someone who said something a bit controversial. I deal a lot with issues of sexual violence or domestic violence of conflict-related trauma. These are very difficult issues for people.
Skip to 1 minute and 0 seconds I often, don't use personal testimony. I use publicly available material so, women's organisations, I make sure that I use their reports, their submissions, as opposed to individual testimony. I do, do a lot of interviews, but they're usually as background, as opposed to quotes. So one of the main ethical concerns is about respecting privacy of individuals. So for example, we're really interested to know what people think about changes to food outlets, when we shift from unhealthy to healthier food. But you can imagine, if we're asking the staff of a particular cafe, what do you think about these changes? They might feel they're a bit at risk if they tell us the truth.
Skip to 1 minute and 43 seconds What if their manager finds out and they said, they didn't like the changes. And so, we always have to be really careful to say, we will always protect your privacy. We'll never tell anybody else what you've said. And anything we might publish write or talk about like in an instance like this, we would never identify you as the person who said those things. Or you as the person who gave that answer. So there's protecting confidentiality in that sense so sort of stripping away any identifying details. And then, there's also, the idea that you would generally present results, we say, in aggregate, as a group. You would never present results of one individual person at a time.
Skip to 2 minutes and 18 seconds I'm a clinical researcher so we have ethical challenges constantly when we do research. And that often, relates to us being in the clinical area, where we're there as a researcher. We're not there as a practitioner. But we might actually see something that's not right. And we might see that in the course of doing our observations so it then, becomes a challenge for us to say, we've told the participant that we're not going to share their data with anybody, but if we see them doing something unsafe, are we obligated, as a professional, to report that? So we're very careful in the beginning, when we get consent, that the participants actually know where we stand on that.
Skip to 2 minutes and 57 seconds So if we do see something that we consider immediately unsafe for a patient, we will intervene, even though we're not there in that capacity. If you're doing research in a small setting, people will recognise each other, once you publish those findings. So disseminating research is something that has to have very careful thought behind it, to make sure that it firstly, that it's having impact. And secondly, that it's not exposing anyone to criticism or influencing anyone in a negative way. With the ethics of sharing results, that's very much in the planning part of research. So right from the beginning, there should be a plan for how the sharing takes place.
Skip to 3 minutes and 46 seconds And that then, becomes part of the ethical commitment of all of the parties involved. So for example, in research that we've conducted recently with teachers around their efficacy, right up front, those teachers knew that we would be asking them if we could sit in their classrooms and observe them. We would also, be asking them to make judgments about their confidence and competence. And we would be giving that feedback back to them for consideration. But we also said, right from the very beginning, we'd like to publish this so we would like to have your consent.
Maintaining confidentiality and privacy
You have an obligation to protect your participant's privacy and confidentiality throughout the entire research process.
Your responsibility to maintain privacy and confidentiality is often directly connected with the ethical principles of Beneficence and Respect. This makes perfect sense when we think about the potential for harm (such as social, professional, legal and economic harm) to be caused due to breaches in this area.
Sometimes participating or even expressing an interest in participating in a project can be a source of harm, if it becomes known to third parties.
Maintaining privacy and confidentiality helps to protect participants from potential harms including psychological harm such as embarrassment or distress; social harms such as loss of employment or damage to one's financial standing; and criminal or civil liability (UCI, 2015).
Case Study: When anonymity goes wrong
Carolyn Ellis conducted an ethnographic study in a small fishing community in the USA. Her research participants were outraged when her published work 'Fisher Folk: Two Communities on Chesapeake Bay' was released (Tolich, 2014). Although the researcher had used pseudonyms in her book, the community was so small that the participants could easily identify who was who. The revealing and sometimes controversial nature of the information shared with the public caused tension in the community. They were incredibly angry and the researcher was devastated to learn the participants were left feeling betrayed and objectified (Ellis, 2007).
Lessons learned?
The way you protect your participants' identity and personal information needs to be carefully considered and strategically woven into the design of your research. For example, what will you advise participants during the consent process? How will you protect privacy and confidentiality during the process data collection and when you disseminate your results? It's important to specifically advise participants who you intend to share the results of your research with and how. The participants themselves can best judge the potential for identification and associated harm. For this reason it's good practice to show them how their comments or information will be used before disseminating. They can then indicate if further de-identification is required.
When it comes to anonymity, don't assume all participants want their names withheld. In some studies, the participants may feel very strongly about their experiences and feel empowered by being named when their story is shared. Others may only consent to participation if anonymity is assured.

Limits to confidentiality
What if you discover something during the course of your research that makes you fear for the safety of the participant or someone they are involved with? Do you break the confidentiality agreement to advise an appropriate medical or legal professional? This type of ethical dilemma is best discussed with a research supervisor if you are working with one. If not, perhaps seek independent advice from a legal professional. Depending on the nature of your discovery and your geographical area in the world, you may have a legal duty of care to act on information if you fear for someone's safety.
For this reason, as part of your consent process, it's important to let participants know what the limits to confidentiality are. For example, you need to advise them that the information shared shall be kept private, unless you suspect someone may be hurt.
Also keep in mind, the information you collect during your research is not 'privileged'. In other words, your research is not protected in the same way details shared between a client and their legal counsel is. In his article, Why Researchers Should Get the Same Client Confidentiality as Doctors, Nathan Emmerich argues the case for researchers having more protection over their sources of research information. Do you agree or disagree? In recent years there have been a few cases of researchers being found to be in contempt of court for refusing to divulge the identities of participants. Why do you think those researchers were willing to spend time in jail?
Web based research
If you're using the Internet to gather research, keep the following points in mind.
- You must have consent before sharing information about someone's Internet browsing activities.
- It's a breach of privacy to install software on a computer without the knowledge and consent of the user.
- In Australia, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) obligates anyone contacting a child through the Internet to obtain parental consent and notification before any personal information or identification can be provided by a child. Check the requirements in your geographical area.
Case study: The Tea-Room Sex Study.
This infamous case raises many red flags in relation to privacy. Let's see what you think.
In the late 1960's a university student undertook covert research by posing as the 'lookout' for men who were meeting in public park restrooms to engage in homosexual activity. These restrooms were commonly referred to as 'tea rooms' and many man were being arrested at the time for engaging in homosexual practices. To try to understand the phenomena, the student observed the activity without identifying himself as a researcher (Lehmiller, 2012).
He then secretly recorded the vehicle registration plates of the men and was able to track down their names and addresses through some contacts in the police force. In disguise, he visited the men in their own homes one year later. He was able to draw a lot of personal information about their lives and relationships under false pretences (Lehmiller, 2012).
The researcher argued his results challenged social stereotypes that could not have been achieved without the deception (Lehmiller, 2012). No one was physically harmed and the men's details weren't identified in the published work. Does this make it ethical, though? The slippery slope of research ethics, becomes more apparent as we move into the next section of the course: Do the ends justify the means?
Your task
A researcher is conducting a study on the experiences of victims of violent crime. She is planning to ask the victims to provide details about their victimisation, mental health and feelings toward their perpetrators in a survey questionnaire. Does this study raise ethical concerns, with respective to privacy and confidentiality? Are there beneficence considerations? If so, what are they and how could they be addressed so the research could be undertaken? Select the comments link and post your response.

Book Condition: Good-plus
Oddly enough, this is a rather hard to find magazine even though it encompassed alumni from all the federation's colleges in the United States and Canada. The magazine was published just twice a year. There are two ads at front, a color one for Gorham Silver and a rather plain one for Tiffany's. All others ads are at the back. This issue devotes a great many pages to "our saint", Saint Magdalena Sophia. Articles cover her sainthood, her life, her visit to Reidenberg, her life as an educator, and her supplementary works. Other articles include memoirs, a trip to Arcadie, the lost art of letter writing and more. There are also poems and a hymn about the saint. Magazine measures 7"x10" and has 117 pages minus ads. It's very clean and tightly bound with fault only at back cover. It appears that the upper corner was creased at one time and eventually snapped off. There is also a loss of the outer layer of paper where you see the light spots.

All about improving the customer experience for older consumers
Wednesday, June 18, 2014
Implementing change is difficult and time consuming - whatever it is.
Just been reading an article in HR magazine why companies find it difficult to implement 'wellbeing' within their organisations. I am not sure I really understand what 'wellbeing' is all about but it sounds like it is something that we should have.
Looking at the diagram, showing the barriers to its implementation, I thought how similar they are to the issues that stop companies adopting an age-friendly strategy. I guess all change is difficult and is hampered by the same problems.
The big difference with age-friendliness is that it doesn't actually cost anything. I think all the other barriers are the same. Dick Stroud

Fortnite is a free-to-play 3D co-op survival game with brightly colored graphics where players scavenge resources by day and fend of waves of enemies at night. It also includes a 100 player Battle Royale mode that is substantially more popular than the co-op mode.
Fortnite was initially supposed to be Epic Games' foray into the world of sandbox survival games. Minecraft meets Left 4 Dead. Players gather resources during the day and build forts, lay down traps, and craft weapons to fend off waves of zombies during the night. Fortnite quickly changed its focus after the breakout success of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and added a free to play Battle Royale mode which enjoyed immediate and enormous success, making it one of the biggest games in the Western world within months of release. Like other Battle Royale games players must quickly locate weapons to defend themselves and fight to be the last man standing. Fortnite differentiates itself from other games in the genre with its unique building mechanics which allow players to make forts and other structures to protect themselves during skirmishes.
Fortnite Key Features:
Battle Royale - The reason we're all here! A free to play 100 man Battle Royale with fast paced gameplay and a touch of resource gathering/base building!
Unique Building Mechanics - gather wood, stone, and iron and use them to craft forts, barricades, and other structures to gain an edge during combat.
No Loot Boxes - All cosmetics can be purchased outright!
Production Value – unique art style, high frame rate, and smooth gameplay.
Just Survive PvE Game Mode – Co-op gameplay requires players to band together to survive. Both combat and crafting are extremely polished.

Have you seen "Spuiten en Slikken" on Dutch TV this week? This episode was about the Gambia and the Gambian so-called "bumsters"; young, often unemployed, men who try to hook up with older white women on the beaches in the Gambia to secure a better future for them and their families. In this programme, one of the suggestions presented, was setting up skill centres. Well here's one! We proudly present, just uploaded on Youtube, a video clip of the Marcus Garvey Peoples Foundation, founded by our friend Gregory George. Most of the craftsmen on our team of builders are members and, in their own time, volunteers on the MGPF. A great organisation in which we believe.

Fenno, Richard F. Going Home: Black Representatives and Their Constituents. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2003.
Stephanie Tubbs Jones won election to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1998, becoming the first African–American woman to represent Ohio in the U.S. Congress. In the 110th Congress (2007–2009), Jones became the first African–American woman to chair a standing House committee.1 Representative Jones, who chaired the Standards of Official Conduct Committee and held a seat on the influential Ways and Means Committee, focused on the economic issues affecting her Cleveland–centered district: financial literacy, access to health care, retirement security, and education.
Stephanie Tubbs was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on September 10, 1949, the youngest of three daughters raised by Mary Tubbs, a factory worker, and Andrew Tubbs, an airline skycap. Raised in Cleveland's Glenville neighborhood, Stephanie Tubbs graduated from Collinwood High School, earning 10 academic and athletic awards. At Case Western Reserve University, Tubbs founded the African–American Students Association and, in 1971, earned a B.A. in sociology with a minor in psychology. "All my life I had wanted to help others, and I had been active in helping others," she recalled. "I was always interested in service. In my day, the college watchword was relevant. . . . With a law degree, I thought I could bring about relevant change in the world."2 She enrolled in the Case Western University Law School and graduated in 1974 with a J.D. Tubbs then served as the assistant general counsel for the equal opportunity administrator of the northeast Ohio regional sewer district. In 1976, Tubbs married Mervyn Jones. They raised a son, Mervyn. Stephanie Tubbs Jones later worked as an assistant Cuyahoga County prosecutor and trial attorney for the Cleveland district equal employment opportunity commission. When Jones and several friends worked on a successful political campaign in 1979, the group pledged to select one among them to promote for public office. Noting a lack of minority members on the bench, they chose Jones, who eventually won election as a judge on the Cleveland municipal court. Ohio Governor Richard Celeste appointed Jones to the Cuyahoga County court of common pleas, where she served from 1983 to 1991. In 1992, she was appointed the Cuyahoga County prosecutor, making her the state's first African–American prosecutor and the only black woman prosecutor in a major U.S. city. Jones was re–elected twice.3
In 1998, when 30–year veteran U.S. Representative Louis Stokes retired from his Ohio district seat, Jones entered the Democratic primary to succeed him. She ran on the basis of her 17–year career in public office in the district and on her well–established political connection to constituents.4 Capturing 51 percent of the vote among five primary candidates, she later won 80 percent in the general election. Jones faced no serious challenges in her four re–election bids, winning by 75 percent or more of the vote.5 In 2006, Jones won with 83 percent.6
When she took her seat in the 106th Congress (1999–2001), Jones received assignments on the Banking and Financial Services (later renamed Financial Services) and Small Business committees. In the 107th Congress (2001–2003), in addition to serving on those two panels, she served on the Standards of Official Conduct Committee, which oversees House ethics guidelines for Members and staff. In the 108th Congress (2003–2005), Jones won a seat on the prestigious Ways and Means Committee, which has jurisdiction over tax law.7
Representative Jones's district encompassed some of Cleveland's most affluent suburbs and parts of poor, inner–city neighborhoods. Her seat on Financial Services helped her secure funding for business and housing development. In the 108th Congress, Jones chaired the Congressional Black Caucus Housing Task Force, investigating allegations against subprime lenders and introducing legislation against predatory lenders.8 Jones's seat on Ways and Means enabled her to focus legislative efforts on shoring up Social Security and Medicare, pension law, and long–term care.
Jones also took a legislative interest in children's issues, health, and education. She authored and passed the Child Abuse prevention and enforcement Act of 1999 to increase training funds for child–protection workers through money generated from bail bonds, fines, and forfeited assets. In the 107th through the 109th Congresses (2001–2007), Representative Jones introduced the Uterine Fibroids Research and Education Act and also authored the Campus Fire Prevention Act to provide federal funds to equip college housing with fire suppression equipment. In 2005, Jones introduced the Count Every Vote Act to improve electronic voting systems. Additionally, she authored legislation to clarify the legal status of cash balance pension plans. In the 109th Congress, she chaired the Congressional Black Caucus Retirement Security Task Force.
Representative Jones died suddenly of a brain aneurism on August 20, 2008. She was succeeded by Marcia L. Fudge—one of her former aides and the mayor of Warrensville Heights, Ohio—in a special election on November 18, 2008.

Concerns raised over access to NHS dental care in Scotland
Representatives from the Oral Health Foundation have raised concerns over access to NHS dental care in Scotland. Recent research suggests that more than 215,000 people are facing a 40-mile round trip to see an NHS dentist.
Studies undertaken by the Oral Health Foundation show that almost a quarter of people live more than ten miles away from their dental practice, which raises concerns about access for those who don't drive, the elderly and those living in rural areas where public transport networks are less comprehensive.
Dr Nigel Carter OBE, chief executive of the charity, has called for the government in Scotland to do more to improve access to dental treatment and enable more people to use services on their doorstep. He claims that the research highlights issues such as isolation, problems with public transport and a shortage of NHS dentists, especially in more remote areas.
Dr Carter suggests that cuts made by the government have contributed to staff shortages and a lack of services, which connect people to dental providers. He is particularly worried about those from "marginalised groups" and has appealed for the government to take swift action to improve the situation. In the past, oral health promotion teams visited vulnerable people and those living far from major towns and cities, but budget cuts have reduced staff numbers and as such, many people are now left without access to local dental services.Join this Discussion

Swallow was once boasting to a Crow about her birth. "I was once a princess," said she, "the daughter of a King of Athens, but my husband used me cruelly, and cut out my tongue for a slight fault. Then, to protect me from further injury, I was turned by Juno into a bird."
"You chatter quite enough as it is," said the Crow. "What you would have been like if you hadn't lost your tongue, I can't think."

Amber Taverns to extend wet-led pub model further south with Midlands acquisitions
The Lancashire-based firm, which currently operates a portfolio of 86 freehold pubs, has today announced a 'record' set of financial results for the year to 3 February 2013.
Revenue grew by 30 per cent in the twelve-month period to top £33m, like-for-like sales were up 2 per cent and pre-tax profits increased by 22 per cent to £3.9m.
Heading South
The company opened 11 new pubs in the year and has acquired six new sites since February. A number of those are in areas away from the North West and Manchester where Amber Taverns has previously concentrated its acquisition efforts - recently the operator has secured new venues in the Midlands including in Walsall and Hanley, Staffordshire.
Speaking to BigHospitality, Baer said the success the firm had found in the North with its wet-led model could be replicated elsewhere in the UK.
"We don't aspire to be as big as JD Wetherspoon but we still think there is plenty of growth potential," the MD explained. Baer has previously told BigHospitality's sister publication M&C Report that the firm is on target to operate 100 sites by 2014.
"We are keen to expand our geography but there are still plenty of towns in the North of England we don't trade in. It is always the quality and potential of the site that is key.
"Bill Priestly from LGV Capital thinks the Medway towns in Kent would work (for the Amber Taverns model). We think it is unlikely that the model would work in central London due to the property prices but we do think there are large conurbations in other parts of the country where in time the model could sit quite happily and trade well.
"As we grow it is important that we maintain the culture and the local approach to running pubs for local people," he added.
Food con?
Amber Taverns, which is backed by private equity firm LGV Capital, has attributed its success to its commitment to community venues serving drinks despite the trend for food-led pubs.
"Although wet-led pubs have faced some well-documented challenges over the last decade, a well-invested pub offering good value with an incentivised and motivated operator can still appeal to a lot of people - we are proving that," Baer argued.
"There are some very good food-led operators out there and that is a relevant and successful business model but I would question whether some of those venues are actually pubs or are they restaurants?
"Was some of the move to food actually a sticking plaster by the big pubcos to say to tenants 'don't worry about the smoking ban or supermarket competition, just bring food in and we won't have to look at your business model' - was it just a huge con trick?"
How to run a successful wet-led pub - James Baer's top tips:
- Be prepared to invest - we are up against supermarket pricing so why are people going to go to a pub that isn't better than their front room?
- If you are operating more than one site, treat each pub as a small business in a local market - bottom up rather than top down.
- Enable individual pub managers to drive footfall - one of our pubs in Leyland, Lancashire, and the person in charge chose to do a bingo night on a Tuesday for the residents of a local nursing home. That doesn't generate a terrific amount of business but it is a quiet time and it embeds the pub in the community.

Save Money and Live Healthily
Most people feel that saving money is hard, and cutting down on their spending will have a negative effect on their lifestyle. In reality some modifications to the way you live can help save you money and give you a better standard of health and wellness too . You will change how you think as you change how you spend.
Cutting out your bad habits may cause a major saving. Cigarettes and alcohol are two of the very heavily-taxed products and several people spend a huge sum on them every year. Twenty or thirty pounds each Saturday night does add up, and cutting back will lead to immediate savings; you'll be amazed at the money in your wallet! It's not good for your pocket; everybody knows that smoking is bad for you, and wine is good in moderation.
The second culprit of over-spending is the impulse buy. Spend a day in town and you can come home without any money and nothing to show for it. Next time you end up gazing at a new pair of sneakers, stop and ask yourself if you need them. There is a great strategy to give yourself a period of a few weeks. If you still want them purchase them. Purchasing impulses will fade and your money can be put towards something else.
As for books and dvds, that is what libraries and rental shops are for. Ask for it to be ordered, if you can not find the title you want. Many people only read a book once and you can borrow them for free.
The food shop is just another time can escape. Although you do a big shop, but reach midweek and wonder what's for dinner? If so, you're probably not that organized. Make a list and take it with you; ensure and plan each meal the food is dated to last until you're ready to eat it.
Be sure to shop around for the best deals on things like home and automobile insurance. Each year these take a big chunk and you may find that prices vary hugely from company to company. Always ask for a couple of quotes and do not be lured in by special offers when you must sign up for a long or expensive contract. Don't rely on comparison sites; talking straight to the firm can provide you the prices for your situation.
When you do find yourself to spare, the most important thing is to find a resourceful way to put it. Your eyes for example are virtually very important to you, do make sure that from time to book an ophthalmologist appointment as experts suggest that there is more to look after than your vision.

Joe Wicks - The Shift Plan (Book 1) review
EAT MORE, EXERCISE LESS AND LOSE FAT 'This isn't a strict diet - it's a lifestyle that will transform your body and the way you eat forever. Once I teach you how to fuel your body properly, you will never need to follow a low-calorie diet again.' In his first book, Joe Wicks, aka The Body Coach, reveals how to SHIFT your body fat by eating more and exercising less. Lean in 15 features 100 recipes for nutritious, quick-to-prepare meals and guides you through Joe's signature HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) home workouts - revealing how to combine food and exercise to ignite intense fat-burning. The thousands of amazing body transformations Joe's clients have achieved prove that his method works. Now you too can learn how to eat in line with your energy demands every day. With recipes divided into 3 sections - Reduced-Carbohydrate, Post-Workout Carbohydrate-Refuel, and Snacks - and top tips for 'Prepping Like A Boss', Lean in 15 provides a plan for sustainable fat loss that will inspire you to keep your body healthy, strong and lean - forever.
Joe Wicks has become a loveable character with his charm and witty banter. When I first saw him on Channel 4 (Joe Wicks: The Body Coach), I couldn't help but think how annoying he was, but wow did his food look amazing...
So because of the delicious food on the telly, I became so engrossed that by the end of it, I couldn't help but love him and what he stood for. His mentality in that dieting was wrong and you should eat whole, healthy foods really rung true in my ears.
The next day, I purchased his book (not the one in this review, but the second one in the other review) on Amazon Prime and awaited it's delivery. I then started cooking all sorts of meals which then actually got me to buy his first book.
This book contains a lot more low carbohydrate meals and recommends you to eat 3 low carb meals on a rest day and just 1 high carb meal on a workout day, this works perfectly as I do tend to bloat on carbs anyway.
I can whole heartedly say that I have yet to eat a bad meal from this book and I always look forward to what is next within the day. There are some meals like the chicken pie and Joe's mum's lasagne which I could eat time and time again, and not get bored of at all.
Don't even get me started with breakfast, the overnight oats and the smoothies (nut and mango, and fast-me-up) make me want to jump up out of bed and grab every ingredient needed to wake up and and start my day right.
Now, for the negatives (not many, but definitely important)... The biggest negative, is you really do need to prep like a boss. I know it says it right at the start of the book, but do NOT take this lightly. My partner and I missed a weekly plan at the beginning of our start week and it completely through us off for that entire week. Joe Wicks can not stress enough just how important this is.
Finally, the shopping can get costly, especially at first. It should start balancing out, but just be prepared to splash out a little from the start. If you keep these two negatives in mind then you are definitely good to go and will enjoy every recipe from his book.

Today, I'm having trouble getting started in my alloted time to make something. I really just want to go home, eat and sleep. I think it is because it is the end of the day at the tail end of the week.
I was just going to make a post and call it a night when I remembered that I can make a small video on my laptop and you can see the result below.

PORTLAND — Promising communication and collaboration, Linda Cohen and Richard Matthews were sworn in Monday afternoon as mayor and School Board chairman, respectively.
"We cannot make the city of South Portland the best it can be without collaboration," Cohen said in a 7 1/2-minute speech following the swearing in of Councilors Patti Smith, Claude Morgan and Brad Fox to three-year terms.
Matthews took fewer than three minutes to outline what the School Board will face in the next year. He said the search to replace retiring Superintendent of Schools Suzanne Godin while be a top priority, and expressed hope the budget process will continue to be smooth.
"I've spent the last six years trying to be the best board member I can be. I want to thank the board for its confidence," Matthews said.
Cohen, a District 4 Councilor who was elected in 2012, is a former city clerk in South Portland and Portland. Her swearing in was attended by current Portland City Councilor Ed Suslovic and former Portland Councilor John Coyne.
Cohen replaced Jerry Jalbert in the one-year term as mayor and was elected unanimously by her peers.
Councilor Tom Blake was unable to attend the meeting. Jalbert did not seek re-election in District 5 and was replaced by Fox, a political newcomer.
"The last time I ran for anything was in P.S. 213 in Brooklyn," Fox said. "I won that, too."
Matthews, of District 3, replaces Tappan Fitzgerald as School Board chairman. His remarks came after at-large members Karen Callahan and Mary House were sworn in to three-year terms. House will also replace Callahan as vice chairwoman for a one-year term.
Cohen said speaking at the inauguration was "only slightly nerve-wracking," adding she knew where she stood.
"I could make all kinds of promises here about the next year, but I am only one of seven councilors," she said.
Jalbert's departure from the City Council ended 20 years of service as an appointed and elected official, beginning with the Zoning Board of Appeals and continuing to the Planning Board before he was elected to the City Council in 2011.
"For anyone who has ever considered considering being appointed, running for office or being on any kind of committee, I encourage you to do so," Jalbert said. "Once you are actually sitting down, making decisions, you realize it is not that daunting. You just have to be a person who follows your conscience."
Smith, who is a former mayor, is serving her last term before the city term limit of three consecutive terms requires her to step down.
Morgan was mayor in 2007 while serving one council term that ended in 2008. He said he decided to run again because of his desire to promote sustainability and to redevelop the city's waterfront.
"I am a firm believer the decisions we make in the next three years will change the landscape for the next 50 to 100 years," he said.
Cohen said the focus for the next year will include revisiting parking and traffic patterns on Ocean Street and in the rest of the Knightville neighborhood, the probable sale and redevelopment of the South Portland Armory, development of Thornton Heights, and the renewed fight to ensure revenue sharing is not cut or eliminated during the next biennial state budget.
"It feels amazing, but it feels right," she said of her election as mayor.

Comedian Kevin Hart threw his after-concert party at Tao Nightclub at the Venetian on Sunday night. The comedian was joined by fiancé Eniko Parrish and a group of friends.
Hart jumped into the deejay booth with Eric DLux and began dancing and singing to each song. He ordered shot of tequila for the crowd and asked each person to raise their glass for a toast as he expressed appreciation for his fans.
Once again Taraji P. Henson joined him in the booth and entertained party goers as the two joked around with each other. The comedian continued dancing atop the booth with his fiancé later joining him and Fabolous stopped by to close out the night.

What a beautiful wedding! The weather was very cold and snowy on the morning of January 25th, but the short drive to the White Oaks Resort was beautiful. When we arrived at the venue and setup, we introduced ourselves to he groom, and had a quick chat with the officiant and the Jacquie, the coordinator at the hotel, before setting up in the Grand Event Foyer Room. This room was huge, and setup for about 200 guests. As the guests were arriving we performed a mix of classical with a few light popular songs thrown in to the mix. For the stat of the ceremony we performed a beautiful rendition of A Thousand Years by Christina Perri for both the bridesmaids and the bride, and the sound filled the room, and I could tell by the silence of the guests that and the glint in Jackyln's eye as she stood at the front that it was enjoyed by all. For the singing of the register, we performed two songs—the theme from Game of Thrones and Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton, one of the couple's favorite songs, which worked very well during this portion of the ceremony. It is often nice to have a bolder song to start the signing of the register with and switch to something that is a bit softer, and this was certainly the case at this wedding ceremony. For the grand finale, the couple walked down the aisle to Marry You by Bruno Mars. As we were packing up, a number of guests went out of their way to speak with us, telling us how much they enjoyed our performance. Thank you to great clients and everyone at the venue for such a beautiful experience—everyone had an amazing time.
