A simple walk through Guild Hall's exhibition "Avedon's America" is an encounter with the familiar. Portraits from the world of pop culture: Hendrix, Joplin, Dylan, along with iconic fashion work like Dovima with elephants, evening dress by Dior, Cirque d'Hiver, Paris, August 1955, grace the walls. A favorite portrait of mine is the loving embrace of poets Peter Orlovsky and Allen Ginsberg from 1964, naked and showy, the former with his genitalia limp, just part of the candor from an era when such displays were just not done. So is it merely loving, or up yours to anyone uptight?
Richard Avedon's extraordinary career in photography follows an American tradition: Walker Evans, Robert Frank, Diane Arbus were all influences. The Guild Hall exhibition also includes portraits from the Civil Rights Movement, and out west, a theme emerges, an other America. Just as Evans turned his lens on the depression, Frank on the non-conventional in the culturally conformist '50's, and Arbus on her identical twins, Avedon found an outsider America. Some photos evoke an era gone by: Avedon's portrait of young Bob Dylan, the wall text identifies him merely as "musician," and Donald Trump as "real estate developer." His "The Generals of the Daughters of the American Revolution, DAR Convention, Mayflower Hotel, Washington D. C., October 15, 1963" has an austere group of women dressed up in an off moment, grimacing or gazing about. A revealing portrait, rather than a posed one, he levels their stature
A panel on Avedon moderated by curator Christina Strassfield last week featured New Yorker writer Hilton Als, Executive Director of the Richard Avedon Estate James Martin, and independent scholar Robert M. Rubin who co-wrote the recently published "Avedon's France: Old World, New Look," revealed much about the artist and his work: practical points such as "Dick recognized that photography books were more important than exhibitions." He was obsessed with race, and the tragedy of war. The panel was rich on backstories: for a shot of Sean Marshall, he borrowed a shirt owned by Bob Dylan from a collector, promising not to alter the shirt. They had to cut it, and had a seamstress redo the shirt. For his 1964 book, Nothing Personal, published just after the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964, the fiery text, by James Baldwin was acquired in an odd way: Avedon had to lock him in a hotel room.

I went down to Chelsea last night to see a traveling performance of the Bread and Puppet Theater in the old town hall. The setting was classic Vermont–tiny town surrounded by green hills, dusty wood-floored room with paneled ceiling and folding chairs in front of the stage. A space and a part of the state I love.
I had heard of Bread and Puppet, but had never seen one of their performances. Founded by a German baker in New York and now located in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, the group has spent the past half-century baking bread, writing manifestos, and presenting provocative, surrealist, and occasionally anarchic spectacles in New England and around the world. They are Cheap Art and Political Theater, they say–art is for everyone, art is food, art wakes up sleepers!
The show I saw was based on a series of Renaissance paintings and entitled, quite lengthily, Piero Della Francesca's Legend of the True Cross: A series of tableaux vivants depicting the legend of the true cross as seen in Piero's murals in Arezzo, mounted on a stage which resembles the Death of Adam lunette, with the Contemporary Crucifixion of an Oppositionist by Bread & Puppet Butchers and Bureaucrats.
Indeed. The four performers mixed larger-than-life puppetry, instruments, and sung and spoken word–sometimes shocking, sometimes beautiful, always with an underlying layer of absurd humor. The portrayal of the Christian religion was sometimes satirical (was God perpetrator, victim, or spectator?), sometimes deeply respectful and almost reverent (the tableau of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba with a recitation of the Song of Songs, for instance). In keeping with the group's motto, Biblical archetype met Newsweek drama in the last scene, where contemporary "oppositionists" were symbolically crucified–the last being, rather predictably, Edward Snowden.
If you are in Vermont and get a chance to see them, do. The gritty, vital feel of the evening and the political/artistic philosophy of the company were, to me, quite reminiscent of various avant garde movements of the early 20th century, and particularly of Dadaism. Tristan Tzara's brilliant and insane Unpretentious Proclamation, for instance, somehow fits right in. I include it below, as it too loud to be ignored.
How different this type of artistic expression is–Dada and Bread and Puppet–than the order and rigor of a Renaissance painting, the self-conscious profundity of a Mann or Dostoevsky novel. How much more playful, unstructured, irreverent–yet still provocative, shaking us up and making us reconsider, trying to get at what it means to be human and live in the world and create.
Art is crazy. Above the rules of the Beautiful and its inspection, indeed.

Driving through Flanders
Our first stop was at the Buttes New British Cemetery in Zonnebeke. Driving in the countryside was very beautiful. Rolling hills, winding one lane roads and tall lush grass. It was a somber day, exploring what was once a battlefield. We had a few key places we wanted to visit, namely Passchendaele and the graves of Flanders Fields. I also knew Menin Gate was in this area and had it in the back of my mind to stop there too.
We went to the Memorial Museum Passchendaele where we got maps of the area and toured through their galleries. They had multiple exhibits and the most touching for me was reading some of the wartime letters that were donated. It's difficult to image the heartache of that time.
We toured through bunkers and trenches and then left there to continue our journey. As we were driving through the towns, Devon slammed on the brakes because we noticed the Nova Scotia Highlanders Regiment memorial so we pulled over. In the middle of a farmers field there was a maintained narrow stretch of grass that led out to the memorial.
Tyne Cot Cemetery
Next we visited the gravesite of Tyne Cot where row upon row of unnamed headstones sat. The drive through this part of Belgium was picturesque with its beautiful scenery but every so often you stumble upon a sobering reminder of what these fields once were.
Unsure of what to do next, we headed into Ypres for some dinner. What a beautiful city! The architecture was breathtaking. We stopped at a cute diner style restaurant and got some food before the Menin Gate ceremony was to take place at 7:00pm.
After dinner, we walked up to the Gate that acts as the entrance into the town and people were already swarming despite the fact that this ceremony takes place every day. We secured our spot near the front and waited while the crowds poured in. When the ceremony started the roads were closed off and a hush fell over the group. Several groups of people lined up to place wreaths at the memorial. It was incredible to be there for it.
Menin Gate in Ypres, Belgium
Afterwards we realized we were really close to the border between Belgium and France. Devon wanted to see how easy it would be to drive across so we headed towards Lille. At this point, my earlier hesitations were gone and I was just going along for the ride. There was nothing more than a small sign to announce we were back in France. We make a bigger deal in Canada about provincial borders than they do about international borders. We drove around Lille which is a really beautiful city and then headed back for home base. Tired, we dropped off the car and cabbed back to our Airbnb.

Warriors fans get a victory — and a new target of their ire
The fans at Oracle Arena not only got to see their team blow out the opposition on Saturday afternoon, they also received one of those special playoff gifts: a new Public Enemy No. 1.
That designation now belongs to the Rockets' Patrick Beverley, who committed the greatest sin any opposing player could commit on the Warriors' homecourt:
He tangled with Stephen Curry.
"I wasn't trying to get under anyone's skin," Beverley said.
But he did. He got under the skin of Curry, who showed uncharacteristic anger on the court. He got under the skin of the fans, who suddenly found something to do during another lopsided game: boo Beverley.
And the consequences weren't pretty. Even without Curry for the majority of the second half because of an ankle injury unrelated to the Rockets' physical play, the Warriors battered Houston 104-78 in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series.
The moral of the story? Don't do anything to make the Warriors angry.
"They reacted with poise and physical play themselves, without doing anything dirty," Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said. "It's a different game from earlier in the season in terms of intensity."
With 6:31 to play in the first quarter, Beverley reached in to try to steal the ball from Curry, fouling him. When the whistle blew, Curry pushed Beverley's arm away to disentangle himself, but Beverley hooked his arm through harder. Curry pushed him and looked legitimately angry — as angry as anyone can remember seeing him on the court.
Warriors forward Draymond Green got between the two.
"That's my guy," Green said of Curry. Both Curry and Beverley received technical fouls.
From that point on, Curry scored 21 more points, finishing with 24 in just 20 minutes of play. Beverley spent much of the game on the bench in foul trouble, scoring two points.
The strategy didn't work. But it's going to remain in place. Houston's plan — its only hope, actually — is to be physical with the Warriors, and with Curry in particular.
"You have to be physical, period," said Rockets interim coach J.B. Bickerstaff. "If you're going to stop anyone, you've got to be physical. There's never been a good finesse defense."
No one on the Warriors expects anything less.
"I would try to hold him and grab him and do anything I could to keep him from getting into a rhythm," Kerr said. "I didn't see anything dirty."
There's history here. The only game the Rockets won against the Warriors in the Western Conference finals last season was Game 4 in Houston when Trevor Ariza upended Curry, who hit his head hard on the floor. With Curry out, the Warriors lost.
Beverley didn't appear in last season's playoffs, out with a wrist injury. But he's always played a physical game.
"That's part of the game with a guy like Pat," Green said. "You kind of grow to expect that. It's how he's made his way in the league."
Two years ago, Beverley took out Russell Westbrook during an aggressive attempt to steal the ball, ending Westbrook's postseason and infuriating the Thunder guard.
Beverley and Curry know each other well. The two were roommates at different camps, Paul Pierce's and LeBron James', and played under-19 ball together.
"He's a real good friend of mine," Beverley said.
Beverley has no friends in the Oracle stands, however. After the skirmish, he was booed every time he touched the ball. The altercation fired up a crowd that hadn't had its coffee before the 12:30 tip, or maybe was thinking about what the weather was like at the beach. The atmosphere was far less charged than it was for Wednesday night's record-setting 73rd victory.
But when their guy Curry got angry, the fans took it upon themselves to defend No. 30's honor; they were on Beverley every second. It was reminiscent of the treatment Memphis' Tony Allen got from the crowd last year after he walked through the halftime routine of some kids performing on the court in Oakland, or what Cleveland's Matthew Dellavedova heard during the NBA Finals after he got too physical with Curry.
"I've been Public Enemy No. 1," Beverley said. "I'm kind of used to it."
Did the booing rattle him?
"I barely hear them," he said dismissively.
But he got Curry angry.
"It was a little too much, so I protected myself and moved on," Curry said.
You can tell Curry's teammates and coaches don't mind seeing that fire unleashed.
"Steph comes across as a choirboy," Kerr said. "But he's a competitor. Big-time competitor."
So the Warriors and their big-time competitor won Game 1. And the fans got a new target to boo. Overall, everyone got something they wanted.

Subject: Ritual without the Religion.... Religion without the Ritual
It seems we have trouble with the two "Rs" together -- ritual and religion. On the one hand we have some who want the ritual but not the religion. This would explain some Jews who maintain a kosher kitchen and follow the rigorous dietary rules yet do not believe in Messiah to come or really in God at all. They are in their belief largely secular but in their practice they are pious. I well recall a conversation very long ago with a daughter of a member who had decided to become a Jew, her husband being Jewish and she wanted to resolve many years of conflict (at least in practice). "What changed when you (a Lutheran) became Jewish?" I asked. The simple reply. "I began keeping a kosher kitchen and observing the dietary laws of Judaism." Later she admitted that she still kind of believes in Jesus but does not see the conflict. She (like her husband) became an observant Jew in practice and not belief.

The Nov. project for the Tattered Angels Design Team was to create projects using wood & the various paint products. Usually you can view these projects every month at the Tattered Angels blog but it is in the middle of being updated. The Design Team members are displaying their projects on there own blogs and posting to Facebook also. Today was Erika Taylor's projects and I am pleased that I can share them with you. I will try and go back and post the other team members projects because let me tell you...THEY ARE INCREDIBLE...yes, I am slightly excited and yelling because you will want to try the technique on any piece of wood you can find. My husband has locked up all my Tattered Angels product because he sees me eyeing all the beautiful old wood trim in our 1920 American Foursquare...not really...only kidding! Here is Erika's blog for you to check out: http://taylordconcepts.blogspot.com/ and here is one of her projects...ENJOY!!!
Right now the hottest handmade item seems to anything made from felt...particularly felt flowers. I have the tendency to try & figure out how to make them so I don't have to purchase them...something that I have always done. After google search after google search, finding pattern after pattern, tons of research I set out to make these beautiful felt corsages to go on winter coats for this season. I stopped by Michaels and bought several pieces of white felt...knowing that they would all be "glimmerized" with TATTERED ANGELS Glimmer Mist.
Here is my 1st experiment...{now remember I taught clothing & textiles for 30 years} it took from start to finish a little over an hour to trace, cut, sew & "GLIMMERIZE" this gardenia. I used Tattered Angels CHALKBOARD Glimmer Mist in Cotton Candy. I'm pretty happy with the results...not bad for 1st try if I say so my self. Not happy with the pencil lines but that's what I had on hand...{note to self...ORDER fabric glue & water based fabric markers}.
BUT I can never stop there...now I'm on a search for a better grade of felt and I stumbled across Giant Dwarf by Sue. A great ETSY shop that you must stop and see. Sue's story is also quite interesting how she went from a hobbyist to a full fledged entrepreneur. Of course I didn't just look I ordered several pieces of WOOL felt...because WOOL fiber will take the GLIMMER MIST so much better that a man-made fiber.
Of course I then had to search out her blog...
So what do you think...a few small green leaves.some bling & maybe a little tulle & feathers...OH YEAH!!! Are you on my Christmas list?

They completely exceeded our expectations! We're still watching back all our videos of everyone partying away. Tim was SO helpful and very quick to respond to all my questions! And I had a lot! 10/10!"
Giles Boothby (Groom at wedding on 8th December 2018).
"We just wanted to say thank you once again for the fantastic day of live music yourself, Crimson Keys and Uptown Showdown laid on for us on Saturday. As we now relax on our honeymoon we have been reflecting again on what an amazing day we had and the quality of the musical entertainment. We received many compliments from our guests for your performances and they certainly had a lot of fun! A personal thanks to yourself, Raph, Claire and the band for your contribution to our special day."
Ayesha Bell-Paris (Bride at wedding on 27th October 2018).
"Uptown Showdown's 8-piece band played for our wedding reception in the Scottish Highlands and blew us away!! The band really got the party started and helped to make our dream wedding become a reality. The dance floor was full all night. The band are amazing at interacting with the crowd and getting everyone in the spirit. A perfect rendition of our chosen first dance song was the icing on the cake! Our guests will be talking about them for days to come. The band were so accommodating. From first contact through to the wedding day Tim is fantastically organised and communicated with us all the way. Cannot recommend these guys highly enough!!!"
Harriet Aisthorpe (Bride at wedding on 27th July 2018).
"Jamie and I want to thank you so making it soooo incredibly special for us! Even spending time with us to go over our first dance! You made the atmosphere amazing and you are all such lovely people! We have the best memories about the music and many of our guests have commented on how brilliant it made the evening too! I will recommend you and keep you in mind for any other events as I think you are totally FAB!!"
Alex Petrides (Groom at wedding on 7th July 2018).
"If I could give 10-stars, I would. We had an 8-piece set up and had the night of our lives. The team turned up buzzing with energy, electric vibes and crazy talent. There was no stop dancing for hours and to top it off, Tim was incredibly helpful when advising on (and managing on the day!) all sound equipment at our big day. Mad love for these absolute beauties."
Ronny Foo (Groom at wedding on 9th February 2018).
"We had Crimson Keys and Uptown Showdown for our wedding 2 weeks ago and their performances were fabulous. They are all great musicians and all of us had so much fun that night. Thank you very much, you are all aces in our book and we will highly recommend you to our friends and that's for sure."
Megan Beynon (Bride at wedding on 16th December 2017)
"We booked All Town Music for our wedding after seeing them at another wedding we'd been to where they had been phenomenal and the dance floor always full. They were a dream to deal with pre-wedding and incredible on the day. They noticed little details going on through out the night and adjusted their set to them. In our photos the dance floor looks like a night club it's so full. I really can't rave about them enough."
Laura Sigsworth (Bride at wedding on 9th September 2017)
"Uptown Showdown absolutely MADE our wedding! We were on our feet, having an amazing time for the whole night. They really got the room going, and created an incredible atmosphere. The first thing every guest mentioned afterwards was how great the band were. Thanks so much guys!"
Craig Mather (Groom at wedding on 10th September 2017)
"Uptown Showdown performed at our Blessing on Sunday and they were fantastic! The energy in the room was electric. Everyone I have spoken to since have said how good they were. I wouldn't hesitate on booking them again. We knew that an entire room of actors and entertainers needed a certain quality of band to truly entertain them. And Uptown Showdown certainly fit the bill! THANK YOU Craig and Rosie x"
Sophie Munn (Bride at wedding on 1st July 2017)
"Thank you to Uptown Showdown for making our wedding on Saturday so much fun!! We absolutely loved having you and you were amazing!! Lizzie, your voice is incredible and you guys created such a fun atmosphere! Thank you also for singing our first dance 'Drops Like Jupiter' so well, it was perfect to go slow and then speed up for everyone to join in. It was perfect! Thank you for all coming out into the dance floor and having fun with everyone. The atmosphere you guys created was brilliant and just right. We loved it."
Joanna Belcher (Bride at wedding on 20th February 2016)
"You guys did a wonderful job at our wedding, everyone thought that the band were brilliant. You played everything we wanted and more! Personally, my favourite part was when Crimson Keys played the duet in the Civil Ceremony. You sang an incredibly hard track and it was just fantastic and something everyone in a civil ceremony should benefit from. It made the room a chapel, transformed the atmosphere and with the candles it was idyllic. I will never forget it. From the booking and arranging process to the night, everything was perfect. If anyone is looking for a brilliant set of artists, who just make a celebration, then look no further."
Antonia Simon (Bride at wedding on 18th April 2015)
"Thank you for being such an amazing band! Miles High were absolutely brilliant and the song for the first dance was just perfect. There were lots of people in the crowd in tears which I think is a good sign! Your DJing was fantastic too, anticipating the crowd and playing some absolute corkers. I never thought I'd see half of the guests dancing but they most certainly did!!"

|Poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) that has spent the summer outside
Most houseplants are tropical and flourish with some outdoor exposure during the summer. With cooler nights in the forecast it's getting to be time to bring them back indoors. Temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit will damage many houseplants, so keep an eye on those nightly weather reports.
Before bringing the plants in, gently rinse the foliage to remove any dust and spider webs that may have accumulated over the summer. Trim off any dead or damaged foliage. Check the drip trays and bottoms the pots for pill bugs or slugs that may be trying to hitch a ride into the house and manually remove them.
If you see evidence of other insect pests such as scale or white flies, treat with insecticidal soaps or horticultural oils according to the package instructions. I like to prepare my plants a couple of days before the move and let the soil dry a little before attempting to pick up the pots. Larger houseplants will be heavy enough on their own without moving several pounds of water in the form of wet soil, too.
For more information on moving houseplants in for the winter, see the CSU Planttalk article Moving Houseplants Outdoors.

Finally we had sunny day in Perm. We took a long walk around the city. I felt spring vibes, but here in Perm we have to wait for warmer days a bit longer. When the spring will finally arrive to Permskiy kray I will show you around the city.
Anyway I took with me for a walk my new poncho from LeBrand (www.lebrand.pl) and new Isabel Marant sweater which I got it on 50% sale when I visited Moscow. My pants are from H&M and comfy sneakers are Jordans flight origin.

Growth of resources
The mapping of journalistic skills is another consolidated (since 2013) permanent monitoring tool. It is used to trace the professional characteristics and expertise possessed and used by Mondadori journalists in Italy. The system has made it possible to:
- improve the efficiency and organisation of the editorial teams with the more effective use of employed journalists during the recession;
- align the editorial organisational process with the multi-channel context (paper and digital);
- guide, through the analysis of training gaps compared with business requirements, the Academy of Journalists.
On the basis of previous experience, it has been extended to other professional roles with the identification of the key positions in each department and the determination of activities in relation to the content of the position.
The aims of the project are to implement a company job system, to identify resources with high development potential, and to pinpoint any training gaps to bridge in order to ensure that the expertise within the company is suitably aligned with its strategy.
Remuneration and incentive system
Mondadori pays its staff based on merit criteria related to skills, professional conduct and, in the case of managers, the results obtained.
In addition to a fixed salary, the employee remuneration system includes collective variable incentives (results-based bonuses), which exclude executives and employees (executives, middle managers and office workers) covered by the MBO system, based on individual and company profitability and productivity goals. The aim is to incentivise staff to play a more direct role in achieving results.

On the television, there are now what seems to be hundreds of programs about property developing, where you can see ambitious people take on a run-down house, turn it around and, by the end of the episode, are enjoying heaps of profits from the sales. When seeing these success stories, you may be tempted to try it out for yourself, and why not? It could be one of the best decisions you ever make. However, before you dive right in, there are things you need to know about this line of business so that you don't find yourself at the end of the process with a loss because you make an easily avoidable mistake that could've been caught early on if you had done your research properly. In this guide, you will learn some essential information to see if this property game is right for you.
Knowing what you are getting into with fix and flip properties
The first thing you need to know if exactly what you are getting into before you make any hasty decisions and the best way to start doing this is by learning the facts of the business from an expert. For example, on many of the television shows that have made fix and flip properties popular to investors such as yourself, there are many costs that they don't report back on, so it won't just be buying the fixer-upper you need to budget for. Associated costs include insurance, taxes on owning the property, maintenance costs, for example, maintaining the garden throughout different seasons, and, most importantly, the money you will need to fork out for actually selling the property.
Securing money to refurbish a house
With all the above costs in mind, you now need to work out how to secure the money to see your project through. One option is to seek out a bridge loan to finance a property rehabilitation and it is worth looking at assessments of different companies, such as LendingHome mortgage reviews so that you can make the best choice possible for your particular financial situation.
Doing a professional job
The reason for getting into this line of work is so that you can enjoy the profits and one way of ensuring you get the return on your investment that you want is to learn how to do up a property properly so you can sell the most professional work you can. One thing to think about when doing this is. There are two main things you need to do to ensure your property sells at a good price. Firstly, make sure any and every repair that needs to be made is made. Potential buyers might fall in love with what you've done with the place but if its got faults this could lose you a sale. The other must is to keep the colors neutral and the decorations impersonal. This helps because it makes buyers imagine themselves in the place and how they would decorate it, sparking their inspiration.
Of course, this article is just to give you some ideas and get you on your feet so make sure you do your own, thorough research before investing your hard-earnt money.

The Kelowna Rockets are set to face the Vancouver Giants on Friday night, before taking on the Victoria Royals for the second time this week on Saturday.
Heading into Friday night Rockets Head Coach Jason Smith says it doesn't matter the opponent, his club will take the same mindset into every game.
"I think we have to go into each game with the mindset that we have to be ready to go out and play and compete. We realize that they're a team that is going to come out and play hard," said Smith. "We had a game earlier this year against Vancouver and we didn't take that mindset into that game and we ended up leaving not getting the results we wanted. The last couple times we played them we played the right way from start to finish and we ended up being able to leave each game with two points."
The Rockets and Giants have met five times already this season, with the Rockets winning four of those. In their most recent meetings, Vancouver and Kelowna played back-to-back games on the February 10th and 11th. The Rockets won both of those games by scores of 6-0 and 5-0 respectively. Brodan Salmond collected back-to-back shutouts that weekend and was named the CHL goaltender of the week for his efforts.
Saturday night will be the eighth and final meeting of the regular season between Victoria and Kelowna. The Rockets and Royals met earlier this week and the Rockets edged the Royals 4-3. The Rockets lead the season series with a record of 5-2-0-0 against the Royals.
With the Prince George Cougars losing last night the chance to catch them is a very real possibility. Smith says his club doesn't necessarily focus on that, but instead on what they can control.
"We're just worried about the game at hand. You can't control who's winning those other games we can only control what we do as a team," Smith said. "If we worry about our compete level and get the results we want we feel we'll be in a good spot at the end of the year no matter what."
The Rockets currently boast a record of 41-21-5-0 which currently has them sitting in second place in the B.C. division with 87 points. Kelowna is only two points back of Prince George for first place in the division, and the Rockets hold a game in a hand.
The Giants have a record of 19-41-3-3 and have been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.
The Royals hold a record of 37-25-4-1 giving them 79 points. They currently sit in the top wild card position, five points back of the Kamloops Blazers for third in the division.
The Rockets are back in action following this weekend on Wednesday March 15th when they host the Everett Silvertips one last time.

There are plethora of people who daily dream about having their own house, office or any other required building. They wish they could see their place building and progressing day by day. But this dream of people is often over powered with the fear of accidents and misfortune events happening at construction sites. No one wants to take extra tension or worry about anything when they are already burdened with their own stuff. In such a situation they resort to build houses or offices and their dream get shattered. If you have also seen the same dream and want to accomplish it without any tensions than employ only those workers who are holder of CSCS cards.
The abbreviation CSCS is for Construction skill certificate scheme. The main aim behind this scheme is to reduce accidents and make workers more responsible and alert towards safety and security of others as well as themselves. The scheme involves various things like a safety test, card or certificate, training program etc. Any person or company can with blindfolded eyes employ the holder of CSCS card at their construction sites as they are not only competent but a safe workforce. It is the best way through which high standard of safety and securities are maintained at work place.
The growing success of this scheme had made it mandatory in various parts of the world. Moreover it is a mark or evidence of competence and capability of the person working in the construction industry. Therefore, every person who works or who is planning to land up in the field of construction must immediately apply for CSCS, get their card and reap its benefit as per their own desires. Any person while sitting in any part of the world can obtain the desired card as per his competence and field with just a click of his mouse. He just needs to have internet through which he can go through the companies offering the tests. He can register himself with any company and can get the card with ease and comfort.
No one needs to skip his work for taking the test as one can schedule it as per their own time table. He also has discretion to pick the venue which is most suitable to him. Study material, mock test, revision material etc. everything will be provided by the company which is conducting the test.
There are different type of CSCS cards which are made in accordance with the field, competence and experience of the worker. These cards are made distinct through different colors and logos engraved on them. If any person has any doubt that which can would be suitable for him then the company conducting the test will surely aid him in finding the most apt card for him. They also offer friendly consultancy to people in which they clearly puts the advantage of the card, its need and all the terms and conditions required to be followed in order to get hold on the card.

We were SO FORTUNATE to have Clairvoyant Lady attend our party. What a fantastic human being! Her readings were so interesting, and many of the guests were surprised by how accurate they were and touched by her gentle and soothing manner. She is extremely gifted. She's also remarkably patient—we had a lot of guests and everyone wanted her attention. She gave readings to a full range of people—men, women, old, young, TEENAGERS! EVERYONE was equally impressed. And everyone walked away feeling like something important had just happened to them. She absolutely made our party a huge success. I could not recommend her more highly, and I am in her debt.

All Aboard! Our cleft-repair journey is much like a bus ride
Analogy by Dana Vogel
Cleft-Talk is a major part of the Wide Smiles network. We function as an online support group - connecting families from all over the world at at various points in their experience - all sharing the experiences common to cleft repair. Many familiar subjects come up all the time. One such subject revisited over and over is the question of whether or not cleft is a big deal in the over-all scheme of a person's life. Cleft-talk member, Dana Vogel posted the following beautifully insightful response. Her observation and analogy could be applied to any support group structure. I encourage support groups everywhere to share this analogy in group for discussion.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
A similar thread to this (cleft a big deal?) was brought up a while ago. I guess it has been at least a month, maybe six weeks. At that time, the issue was more along the lines of getting beyond the cleft - letting it go and getting on with our lives. There was the feeling then that perhaps parents were focused on their own emotions, such as grieving the loss of the imagined child, learning to love the child they have, and expressing the frustrations of dealing with health issues, feeding problems, and rude comments from ignorant people.
Now we have a perception (brought up by one list member) that the parents may not be thankful for what they have and instead dwell on the negative aspects of their and their children's situation.
As I have pondered these comment, I feel that I understand some
of what may be perpetuating the feeling that we are not getting beyond the more basic
issues of guilt, surprise, loss, feeding, nursing, lip and palate repairs, learning
about cleft, and learning how to deal with the complexities of child rearing (and
having a child with a facial difference
to boot!)
Imagine you are riding a bus, but you don't remember which bus it is, how long you've been on it, where it is going, or when you will reach the end of the line. Have you ever fallen asleep on a bus and awakened in a panic, trying to figure out if you had missed your stop, how far you are from it, or which bus to switch to in order to get to where you need to go? I have, and having a child with a cleft is sort of like that feeling.
Through choices of adoption or pregnancy, you anticipate what
the rest of your life will be like with this new child. (You're on the bus now. You
are enjoying the ride, the people, the scenery....everything is okay.) There are no
surprises and really nothing that you think you can't handle. The big day arrives and
you are presented with the unknown of a child with a cleft. (You have been lulled to
sleep by the motion of the bus and the pleasant journey. You are not thinking that
there will be a problem. After all, you have ridden the bus before. Lots of people
have, and
nothing has ever happened to them.)
Now you are scrambling to make sense of the change of events. What does it mean? Surgery? What? When? How? Where? Who? What do you mean feeding a child with a cleft is difficult and nursing even more challenging??? What do you mean my child might have other problems ? (How did I get here? Have I missed my stop? This neighborhood isn't so nice. I've never been here before. And the people are different. Some of them don't look so nice. They are watching me. Were is my purse? Did someone take it?....)
So you start talking to people. You begin to figure out where you are and where you are going. You discover you haven't missed your stop, but the bus had to take a detour. You get to know some of the people around you and together you figure out what is going on. They fell asleep too, or maybe someone suggested they take this bus and it wasn't the greatest advice because it isn't the most direct route. They you meet someone who has actually ridden this bus before AND had to go through the same detour. What a relief. You're not alone: still a little worried, but greatly reassured.
That's kind of what support, such as cleft-talk is. Some people have been on the bus longer - some have to take the cross-town transfer and have a very complicated route. Some get off the bus only to find they need to be on the same bus again. And some people reach their destination earlier than others. But each person that gets on the bus has the same basic questions which need to be answered before their mind is at rest and they can plan what to do next.
We get new members joining cleft-talk (and any support group) every day who need and want to share their experiences and who are looking for someone who has ridden the bus before. Each person who contributes needs to be reassured and needs to be able to ask their questions. Some of the questions are new and some have been discussed by the group before.
Each participant needs to go through the emotions. It's the first time they have shared something with all of us, but it may not be the first time we have heard it. After all, some of us have been on the bus longer. Some of us are even comfortable giving suggestions to the driver as to a better route to take - one that is less bumpy and not so traumatic. Suggestions which everyone appreciates. Those who have been on the bus longer reassure the rest of us that the ride, while inconvenient at times, really isn't so bad because in the end you get where you need to be. So if it feels like the same issues are revisited (on cleft-talk or in any support group) it's because they are. And they are explored and revisited until understanding and reassurance is reached for those asking the questions. But by the time that happens for one person, we have other new members who need to ask their questions and receive the benefit of the knowledge of the group.
This must be a dynamic inherent to a support Group. I don't know for sure. I've never ridden this bus before. But I can say that I have appreciated the help from my fellow riders, that I have learned a lot about life from you all, and that I'm sure glad I'm on this bus with you, instead of walking alone on the side of the road.
With love and a smile,
Dana (Evan's mom)

If you watched WWE during the late '90s you probably remember these two words: "Suck it!"
Twenty years ago this month, Triple H and Shawn Michaels founded one of WWE's most well-known—and most controversial—tag team stables: D-Generation X. The team made a name for itself with non-stop pranks, a twisted sense of humor, and, of course, excessive crotch chopping (remember, this was the '90s).
However, Triple H (real name Paul Levesque) isn't quite in the same position that he was 20 years ago—he's now the chief operating officer of WWE, and has been praised for spearheading NXT as well as special events such as the upcoming Mae Young Classic.
While talking to Levesque about the Mae Young Classic, we asked him for his thoughts on his past, present, and future in the WWE, especially with SummerSlam right around the corner. HHH himself admits that times have changed quite a bit: "The whole thing is kinda surreal in some way. I think if you had gone back to the beginning of DX or anything like that and told somebody at that point in time I'd be in the position I'm in, including me, I would've said, 'You're out of your mind.' Even though I've always been fascinated with that side of the business."
While Levesque is in impressive shape for 48, he confesses, "You know, the human body's not necessarily designed to do what we do on a daily basis, so your career span is limited. But it's the greatest thing in the world—that opportunity to be able to go out in front of our fans and do what we do."
Ultimately, Levesque wants to ensure the legacy of the WWE continues for decades to come: "You know we say that our motto is that we put smiles on people's faces. That is what we do. I want to make sure that when Vince is gone that the WWE not only continues, but is greater than it's ever been. I want to make sure of that for every kid that turns on the TV and sees that ring for the first time and what takes place in it, goes to bed that night and can't sleep because it's all he can think about."
For the full interview with HHH in which he talks about the origins of the Mae Young Classic, check muscleandfitness.com on August 28.
SummerSlam will stream live around the world Sunday, August 20, at 7 p.m. ET on WWE Network.

(you, not the performers. Although that would be interesting)
Can't make it to Milan to see an opera at La Scala? I feel your pain. Maybe this will help.
If you're curious about opera, but didn't know where to start, here's a low-budget way (meaning, in this case, free) to see what it's all about…in your pajamas if you'd like.
The Opera Platform website is intended for those new to opera as well as seasoned attendees and is intended to promote European opera companies. A number of operas have been made available as video on demand and include subtitles. A new opera is added each month, and is available on demand for six months. See their About Us page for more details. The site features operas by Wagner, Sibelius, and Verdi (La Traviata) to name a few, and Puccini's La Boheme will be added soon.
Another venue for full opera performances is the Warner Classics TV channel on YouTube. And the Metropolitan Opera offers a free 7-day trial to their Met Opera on Demand streaming service.
Need a little background info before you dive into the operas? There are numerous books dedicated to demystifying opera (headed to the library? Dewey decimal number 782.1). Don't have that much time? Sinfini Music has put together a number of comic strips outlining the plots of famous operas. You can find the comic strips here.
While these are great on-ramps to opera, there is no substitute for the thrill of live performance. If you like what you hear, check the web for local opera companies and performances in your area. There are a lot of talented folks out there who would love to have you come out and enjoy all the hard work, time, and devotion they put into their craft. They'd also prefer that you not attend in your pajamas.
No opera in your area? Head to your local library or favorite online merchant. Many operas are available not only on CD but DVD as well (including BluRay). Nothing beats a live performance, but the sound and visual quality of the recordings are typically top-notch. I saw Les Troyens by Berlioz on BluRay and it was spectacular.
So settle into your chair, wherever it may be, and get ready for a treat. If you see something you think is great, let us all know so we can see it too!
Postscript: After writing this, I found two great operas on pristine LPs at my local thrift shop. Total cost: $3.90.
- Wagner's Tannhäuser, with soprano Birgit Nilsson and tenor Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Deutsche Oper Berlin conducted by Otto Gerdes
- Verdi's Aida, with soprano Montserrat Caballé and tenor Placido Domingo, New Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Riccardo Muti.
which led me to find the Riccardo Muti's recording label website on which one can stream Verdi's Requiem and Beethoven's Ninth Symphony performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under his direction.

Why are you wasting your hard-earned cash by letting it leak out of your windows and doors?
Before I start the blog, I must state the obvious; I am not Craig.
Readers will know that our MD Craig Johnson has been flexing his blog writing muscles over the past year, but if I'm frank; I am funnier and whinge less, so there has been a 'changing of the guard' and the blog is now my domain.
Allow me to introduce myself; my name is Paul Woods. Originally from Essex, where I was Chief Operating Officer for Ecostar in the UK, I decided to swap rainy England for a sunnier climate and take on the role of Construction Project Manager here in Melbourne.
So, although I was the British and European water-skiing champion for seven years back in the day and quite a few Kilos ago, double glazing is in my blood and these days you're more likely going to find me helping Victorian home-owners to transform their homes with uPVC double glazing (or on the golf course on the rare occasion that i have some time off)!
But enough about me, let's get down to business.
First order of call is asking you a very frank question: have you ever thrown your money in the bin?
A weird question I know, but bear with me on this.
See that's pretty much exactly what you are doing when you decide to not insulate your home properly when it comes to shoddy single-glazed windows and doors.
With the temperature dropping over the coming months and seasons changing, you'll no doubt be cranking up the heating in your home to keep warm during Melbourne's chilly winters. But what's the point when all that heat is literally passing by you, and out of your leaky windows and doors? You're literally throwing your money away each time you pay your next power bill and don't even get me started on the rising cost of power bills. (I did promise you i'd be less whiny than my predecessor so that topic can be for another time!)
I'm going to spare you the jargon and explain quite simply that, as opposed to single glazed windows and doors, double glazing traps a layer of insulative air between two panes of glass, helping reduce heat loss and acting as a barrier that seals warm air in your home.
The bottom line is that your house stays warmer in winter while using less heating. Let's also remember that your windows and doors are the thinnest points in your home's outer shell, so if they're not insulated properly your leaky old windows account for approximately 40 percent of the thermal energy lost by your home in winter (i've got the shivers just thinking about it).
And isn't that the best thing about winter? Hibernating in your cosy home and venturing outside as little as possible? I don't know if you can relate, but I'm a total homebody during the cooler months. Perhaps that's the English blood in me?
The irony isn't lost on me that I'm all up in arms about the rising cost of power bills, yet I'm asking you to consider double glazing for your home which involves an initial financial outlay. And, while there are many variables that contribute to exactly how much that initial outlay is, it's important to note that the long-term pay-off is that double glazing improves your home's thermal efficiency so you will most definitely save money on your power bills.
And these savings are not just confined to winter.
Double glazing insulates your home from the heat of summer as well, meaning you don't have to use your air conditioning as much during the warmer months (even on those nasty, dry, 40-degree days we're becoming so used to in January).
I'll leave you with a last couple of questions.
When something breaks down in your life, be it an appliance or even a car, you replace it right? Or repair it so it doesn't fail you again? Why then, when it comes to our windows and doors letting us down, do we do nothing about it?
Food for thought.
Paul Woods was formally Ecostar's UK Chief Operating Officer before taking on the role of Construction Project Manager here in Melbourne. He has vast knowledge on double glazing and is considered an expert within the industry.

Article by Chanchal Gupta
The function of prayer is;
not to influence god…
but rather to change the nature of one who prays……..
"Soren Kierkegaard"
Prayer is an invocation. It is an act that enables us to establish a connection with the supreme power through deliberate communication. Prayers are made to the deities and divine gods for the fulfilment of some of the prospectives of life.
Prayer can be a form of religious practice in which we pray to our religious Gods for the betterment of our lives, for some personal benefits, for materialistic demands, asking for the divine blessings and sometimes for our near and dears. Prayer may be directed towards a deity, spirit and guiding angels. The purpose of prayers can be worshipping, guidance, confession, expressing one's ideas and emotions to the higher self. Prayers can be silent prayer in which no words are uttered. Prayers can be in form of hymn, songs and incantation. Different body postures are associated with prayers e.g. standing with folded hand, standing with raised arms, sitting in padmaasan, sitting in sukhasan or kneeling.
There are different forms of prayer such as petitionary prayer, thanks giving and praise making.
For some people they are more likely like appeals or one-sided deals and when one of the deal is not fixed up, we people really blame that same deity, the same supernatural power, the same god, who was the best one for us before not accomplishment of one of the deal. We start using harsh words against the same provider who was providing every thing (materialistic, physical and spiritual) without asking for any gratitude in return. Sorry to say this kind of selfish behaviour is really making prayers less effective. When we pray to higher self with a selfless motive of unconditional love for the humanity, for well being of the whole society, they really work supernaturally.
The Reiki prayers are based on unitedness of the whole world, they are pure and divine for the kindness and wholeness of the whole world. So they really leave an intense impact on the healing of what we have quoted in our positive affirmations.
The mind is everything;
what you think…
you become……
"Lord Gautam Buddha"
Reiki Affirmation
It is an invocation for the well being of every one, self, entire society and the entire world. It is a prayer to spread love and harmony. Affirmations are for attitude for the gratitude. Affirmations are positive and we can say only positive affirmation are fruitful.
Reiki affirmation is the combination of all types of prayers, in which we pray to divinity for the completeness and wholeness. We thank the supreme power for all his creations and blessings. We praise the divine source for the eternal love and harmony, for the balance in the universe. The affirmation helps us to connect to the divine source.
There are no hard and fast rules while making Reiki affirmation. The one and only one requirement is one should be present physically, mentally and spiritually while making positive affirmation. Harm to others or self can not be affirmed in Reiki prayers. We can make Reiki affirmation any time morning, noon, evening, night, bed time, the time you feel like making an affirmation make it. Yes, before self healing or healing others we should make a proper affirmation with self or healee's name and the dis-ease we wish to heal with gratitude. It helps to make healing process more profound and intense.
Affirmation for Self Daily Reiki Practice
I thank myself being here. (thanks giving to soul for being in the body and riding it)
I thank God and his purpose for making me being in this healthy body (thanks giving to God).
I thank my teachers, my parents, spiritual guides, guiding angels, my siblings, my spouse, my kids, my family, friends and everyone who soever is in my aura being in my life.(acknowledging all his creations and thanking every one)
I thank supreme power, holy spirits and divine life force being here, for being in harmony with me and blessing me. (praising and thanking the source)
I thank the divine grace for nurturing all of us, for unconditional love and for uniting us.(praising his services and blessings)
I intent Reiki to be one with me, to heal me and everyone in my aura as a whole and complete. (praying to the god for healing and oneness)
Thank you divine source for raising my vibrations, thank you for awakening me, thank you for healing me, thank you for blessings and assisting me for every moment.
Similarly the different affirmations can be made as per our healing norms.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Resurrecting The Forgotten Family – Remember When
Never in the recent history of the world, have we witnessed the unprecedented destruction of society, culture and security, as we do now. Religious and Ethnic persecution, Politically-motivated violence, social media attacks, Suppression of Freedom of Speech, Corruption in our Government. Seemingly unrelated issues, however, share a common thread of substance; the Core Family Unit.
At the dawn of civilization, the family unit was the basis for survival of self as well as the species. It was characterized by rules, heterosexual reproduction and safety (food, shelter and clothing). Enamored with nurturing, albeit crude, the family also served to educate the young, much like animals educate their offspring.
Progressing throughout recorded history, the family unit, let's just call it the family, has evolved in function, form and features; yet, regardless of the changes, always served as the bedrock of social and cultural life and was revered, sought and protected because people understood the critical nature of the family to survival, legacy and individual reputation.
Toward the Industrial Age, families became larger, primarily due to the functional need to support the family farm in agricultural pursuits. Once again, survival was paramount and acknowledged by all. Love, not a subject of casual conversation in the public at the time, remained at the core of the family as it was considered to be the "X" Factor of sorts and the "right thing to do" with respect to how adults were expected to behave and interact with each other. What a concept, yes?
Let's fast-forward to today. The traditional "family" is disrespected, ridiculed, demonized and undermined at every crossroad including television, media, government and education. Make no mistake, the destruction of the family as the core instrument of society and culture, has consequences; significant consequences.
"At the heart of the dismantling of the family, are sexual deviance/perversion, violence, and Godlessness. Together, these behaviors have become hallmark mindsets of our generation that collectively serve to undermine the family as the core and biblical unit of our species as human beings. They serve to impact our future in the most adverse scenario. Continuing to follow this path, we will ultimately lose our identity as children of God and only recognize ourselves as physical and mortal organisms."
To combat this trend and destructive energy, we must change the way we think about the family. We must restore its reverence and meaning and we must painstakingly strive to protect and secure its future. And the way we will accomplish this goal is to change our personal thinking and bring back God into our lives. God and faith in Him are the antidote and foundation to the elimination of immorality and the downfall of society. Sin is our enemy, not God! God is the cure.
Any person with a logical mind that has studied the Scientific Method, knows about simple Cause and Effect and Root Cause Analysis, as the basis of effective problem solving. What we face now in America can be objectively and logically identified and understood, if we are willing to acknowledge and accept the responsibility to understand that each of us are a part of the problem. Most importantly, that each of us are equally the key to addressing and resolving the problem. It is not the job of other people to fix it, but rather, it is everyone's job; it is Your job and it is My job. WE MUST OWN THAT RESPONSIBILITY AND MINDSET.
And the way we approach this problem aligns with the way we approach our lives. Invite God into your life. Submit to His Presence as the Divine Father. Learn how to live in His Light, Obey His Instructions for mankind and promote that mindset to others. Let your actions serve as testimony to the Truth. Let the Light of God shine in your life and permeate the world.
Economic bondage, Spiritual Decay, Health Issues and Decaying/Toxic Relationships, along with all of the afflictions of this world that have plagued our species, originate and are manifested, as sin in direct relation to our ability (or inability) to think, act, behave and consciously choose God's way of life. We must deliberately decide to follow God and rebuke sin. It is clearly an All or Nothing scenario.
The tools to accomplish this transformation include prayer, role model emulation, love and compassion for others. The visible by-products of these efforts will be enhanced self-esteem, dignity, integrity, respect and inner peace. I call these things our Spiritual DNA. Over time, the adoption of this new mindset will cleanse our minds, spirits and souls and will demonstrate to the world around us that we choose God as our savior and redeemer.
Only then will things begin to get better.
Only then will the quality of our lives improve.
Only then will eternal life and salvation be once again within our reach.
Only then will we be saved.

Wednesday's play situation: On a kickoff, the receiving team player leaps from the field of play and catches the kick while airborne. He lands out of bounds. What is the result of this play?

Import Export our Signatures Created in Outlook
Posted by Smart Office - philippospan
In my previous post Create Your Signature In Outlook 13, we created Signatures in Outlook 13 in order for them to be used in our Mail Messages. What happens though if we want to Export these signatures in order for them to be used on other PC or we just want to have them as backup so we don't have to go through the whole procedure all over again and we don't have the time to recreate them? In this post I will describe how can we Export our Signatures and how can we Import them again.
In my example I am using Windows 8.1 Pro, so if the screenshots differ it doesn't matter the procedure that we must follow is still the same. First I will describe the steps in order for us to Export our Signature Files:
At the bottom right corner we do a right click on the Start button in order for the shortcut menu appears as shown in the image below. Once it appears we select the Run command.
Once selected the Run dialog box appears as shown below, where in the text area next to the Open command we must type in the following command:
Once we type in the above command, we either press the Enter button on our keyboard or press the OK button.
Straight away we are transferred to the following directory:
Owner of the PC/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Signatures as shown below:
In this folder we must see three files and one folder for each of our signatures. One folder, an HTM (Hyper Text Markup) file, a TXT file and a RTF (Rich Text Format) file.
For example I have the KAPI_files folder, KAPI.htm, KAPI.rtf and KAPI.txt as shown below.
In this folder we must select all the files for our Signatures by pressing Ctrl+A and in order for them to be copied we press Ctrl+C so the files can be copied to the Clipboard.
The next step is to locate the folder that we want to paste our Signature files, and then press Ctrl+V in order for the files to be pasted. That is it, we have successfully exported our signature files.
Import our Signatures in Outlook
In order to Import our Signature files for them to be used in Outlook. First of all is to setup our E-Mail account if we haven't done it already and create our profile.
Then the next steps are quite simple. All we have to do is to locate the folder that we had exported our signature files and then select them by pressing Ctrl+A and then Ctrl+C in order for the files to be copied to the clipboard.
Afterwards we select again the Run command and type again the command:
Again we are transferred in the folder where we need to paste the signature files by pressing Ctrl+V, and the next time we start Outlook our signatures will be available.
That's it. So simple. So I suppose that it is a good idea that we should have a backup of our Signatures.
Below you can check out the video describing how to Import Export our Signatures that were created in Outlook.

A Cambodian delegation that arrived in Nauru on Tuesday for high-level meetings to progress a controversial refugee resettlement scheme has toured Australian-run detention centres on the island, according to a rights group.
But while three Cambodian officials were "being seen all around the camps and Nauru", they have not met any of the more than 1,000 asylum seekers and refugees face to face as had been expected, said Ian Rintoul of the Refugee Action Coalition.
An MoU signed by Cambodia and Australia in September agreed that refugees given the option to relocate to the Kingdom, instead of staying on Nauru, would be first briefed on Cambodian culture and living conditions by government officials.
"[The Cambodians] were taken to visit the detention centre and the refugee camp," Rintoul said, adding that the officials did not speak directly to refugees.
"I am told that Australian officials asked a select few people in the detention centre if they wanted to talk to the Cambodians but nobody wanted to."
Kem Sarin, director of the Ministry of Interior's refugee office, which carries out refugee status determinations, is part of the delegation, according to a source close to the matter.
Only asylum seekers processed as genuine refugees will be eligible for resettlement in Cambodia under the voluntary scheme. Australia will meet resettlement costs and is also giving the Kingdom an extra $35 million in aid over four years.
The Australian Immigration Department has refused to confirm the Nauru meetings or comment on ongoing discussions.
The Cambodian officials were still on Nauru yesterday.
