AirTool Inc. is a manufacturer of next generation snorkels and related swim products that will be selling its wares through retail partners and directly through the AirTool website to end users.
The following LAUNCH STRATEGY section is dividedinto two categories: (i) Marketingand (ii) Distribution. The firstyear and most critical phase of the marketing strategy (Feb 2011 to Feb 2012)is described in this section.[1]
Marketing Overview
AirToolInc. will begin to roll out a subtle, non-capital intensive, and grassrootslong-lead (pre-product launch) viral marketing campaign in February 2011 through participation at athletic events, print media, website exposure, andfree promotional gifts for identified industry leaders, athletes and"trendsetters" in California, Texas and other swimming hotspots. The initial marketing goal is to establish adiscrete, hard-to-find, innovative brand that creates, through its exclusivityand performance, a buzz among the target market. The initial target markets areearly-adopters, with high disposable income (or who have access to schoolbudgets), who possess a willingness to pay $125 - $150 for a performanceenhancing product. Thus, the abridged pre-launchmarketing plan is to:
February – April 2011
Create buzz and brand awareness through a long-lead "underground" marketing program consisting of postcard marketing, publicity/media, events, and giveaways to high-profile trendsetters
Approach retail buyers while giveaways slowly enter the public consciousness
March 2011
Launch in March with first product run in stores across our target markets and ordering on
the Website.
Itemized Marketing Strategy Summary
Print Advertising
Launch postcard/print campaign to coaches andTriathletes to be distributed at Triathlon and swimming events and otherrelevant venues in February and April 2011 (pre-product launch) acrossCalifornia and Texas, New York, Florida. Postcards will feature an image of the Dual model in use or as shown onthe cover page accompanied by statements such as "Get the most out of your workout", "Welcometo Water World", "Global Warming, Bring it On!" or rhetorical questions like"are you ready for the revolution?"
MediaKit/Look Book
AirToolInc. will create a high-end kit/brochure that will be used to communicate thebenefits and features and other significant information about AirTool™ and theDual model to "priority" publicity, sales, and business developmentcontacts. The book will provides a guideto AirTool Inc.,and the snorkel featuring 'how to' user guides, product benefits and features,user testimonials, market information, suggested retail, ordering requirements,sample request information, accessories, release dates and pictures of athletesmodeling and using the product. The kit also reveals product specifications (e.g.colors, sizes, material, etc.). The media kit epitomizes AirTool Inc.'s focus on quality, and will onlybe sent to contacts deemed critical to the success of the AirTool launch. The media kit will be approximately fifteenpages in length and printed on high-grade paper. AirToolInc. will also produce a "one-sheet glossy" – a high-quality butsignificantly less expensive and abridged version of the media kit – for use in"lower-priority" sales and marketing efforts.
IndustryLeaders & Trendsetters
Approximately 150 AirTool™'s are to be usedas promotional tools; to be utilized and tested by industry leaders, topathletes and other trendsetters at athletic or other relevant events in Februarythrough April 2011; this includes product placement through management's extensivelist of acquaintances in the swimming and water sports industry and at theLondon 2012 Olympics. AirTool Inc. will follow a promotionalmodel similar to that utilized by Under Armour (see success story section).Therefore, AirTool Inc. will approach top swimming, Triathlon, and otherathletes to endorse and use the AirTool™ during training and competition. Thiswill initially be accomplished utilizing the current relationship with EvolveSports, sponsoring of swimming education through National Safe Kids Campaign,coaching references by Victor Wales, Kevin McKenna, and otherprofessionals. Mr. Monnich and Mr.McKinnon, with their background in competitive swimming, will also enterTriathlon and other relevant events wearing the AirTool™.
Press packages and promotional marketing kits willbe sent to editorial staffs, fashion editors and stylists at leadingpublications like Men's Fitness, Triathlete Magazine, Swimming World,Swimming Technique and Outside. Thehiring of a well-connected sports publicist will be a priority, in an effort togain relevant high profile electronic and brick-and-mortar press coverage to coincidewith product line releases.
Press packages and promotional marketing will besent to editorial staffs, writers, producers and key contacts including localand national television and radio programs like OLN, ESPN and theDiscovery Channel.
EachAirTool™ snorkel will highlight the URL www.theairtool.com directing traffic tothe Website. The Flash animation on thewebsite will provide detailed product information and demonstrate the snorkelscapabilities. The site will state theuses of the AirTool™ – for training, performance, weight loss, and fun. It will show the Dual model in operationduring a trial swim and a 'flash' element which will highlight the function ofthe hypoxic pins, the purge mechanism, the splash guards, and how the AirTool™can be customized for each individual. The site will include information on theavailable accessories and information on where to purchase AirTool™ products(store locations), Company mission, mailing list, and opportunity to receivediscounts or samples, see live demonstrations, and athletes endorsing theproduct. The site will also allow usersto shop online, purchasing at the retail price plus shipping and handling allowingAirTool Inc. to enhance its margins. Customers will be encouraged to sign-up for email updates prior to thelaunch of new products.
Drowningis the second leading injury-related killer of children ages 1-14, but thesetragedies can be prevented if parents practice four 'Water Safety Wisdoms'highlighted by the National SAFE KIDS Campaign. This message will be promotedon the Website, in the media kit, general advertising vehicles, and asappropriate on AirTool™ packaging. Tofurther promote AirTool Inc.'s credo that sports and exercise equals life, AirToolInc. will make a donation from every purchase to funding swimming programs forinner city or other deprived children.
AirToolInc. will ensure that the AirTool™ will receivesignificant exposure at sporting events such as Triathlons, and swim meets, andtrade shows. Notable events include Action Sports Retailer tradeshow (September2011), Escape from Alcatraz (June 2011), IronMan Hawaii Championship (October2011). Refer to appendix III for a full listing.
The goal is to create market buzz immediately andcost-effectively, and to develop demand for the brand through an understated,tempting, and excitable long-lead, marketing tactic. An underground, networked marketing approachhelps insure that AirToolInc. is the first to market as the provider of the ultimate swimming device.
Distribution Overview
The marketing approach above is executedsimultaneously with an equally selective and non-capital intensive grassrootsdistribution campaign, consisting of sales of AirTool™s to select stores like The Sports Basement and SwimOutlet.comwho have already written purchase orders for the 'Dual' AirTool™ model[2].The AirTool™ will in turn be available for purchase on the Website. AirTool Inc. will expand its retail presenceby developing relationships with additional large and specialized sportinggoods retailers. Initially distributionand marketing via catalog will be handled through Lane 4 USA[3],and/or Kiefer[4].
Distribution Strategy
AirTool Inc. will leverage its retail store andindustry contacts (e.g., Sports Basement, TriSports, SwimOutlet.com variousswim coaches) to distribute its product across California. AirToolInc. will also hire a third-party distributor or outside sales reps,who will work on a commission basis only, to achieve immediate productplacement in appropriate venues in those same cities[5]. AirTool Inc. will provide product in limitedand selective locations (creating an initial distribution "vacuum"): anapproach that aids consumer and retail demand for the AirTool™'s brand throughan exclusivity factor. AirTool Inc. willalso leverage our relationship with Lane 4, who has ample distributiondomestically and internationally, including major retailers and cataloguers.
AirToolInc. plans to distribute (following pre-launch) 500 AirTool™s atapproximately five retail stores across California starting in April 2011. Salesin July and August will be primarily direct through the website or attradeshows/events. Thepricing for the 'Competitor' model will be $125 retail and wholesale $62.5. AirToolInc. believes the product has distinct advantages over the competition and thatits value proposition justifies the price, especially considering that high-endswimsuits start at $200 and that Aqua Spheres FM snorkel sells for $99.
Continuedtargeted print and Internet advertising will support distribution efforts.Marketing is budgeted to comprise 35% of all expensesinto perpetuity (see Financials). AirToolInc. will continue to roll-out new versions of the Dual AirTool™model in various colors, and launch available accessories. It is not anticipatedthat the 'eclipse' and 'sprinter' versions will be released until the secondyear. This constant evolution will helphinder competition, generate ever-increasing sales, and ensure that AirTool™ isalways on the cutting edge.
After the 1st year AirTool Inc. willcontinue to deepen relationships with top athletes as well as broaden the scopeto include athletes from other sports whose training regime also includes swimming.Additionally, AirTool Inc. will focus onworking with celebrities and other influencers who currently do not swimregularly, introducing them to the exercise and converting them to swimmers.This tactic will help strengthen the AirTool™ brand in the recreational swimmerand weight loss markets. AirTool Inc. willenter the attractive 'snorkeling' market by partnering with retailers likeSnorkel Bob's that have prime real estate and market share across global summervacation hotspots.
Tolimit financial risk and protect capital resources, AirTool Inc. plans tolaunch with a limited production run ("beta test") of 3000 units in February(500 for retail, 150 for giveaways and 300 for website sales) and another 3000in June to be distributed over the course of the rest of 2011 in anticipationof the Christmas season and to fill shelf space in existing and additionalstores. Management then will gauge market demand forQ3/Q4 2011 and beyond, and determine (i) the size of subsequent production runsand (ii) the best allocation of capital to maintain growth.
[1]See Appendix X for a summarized version of theMarketing Plan beyond year 1.
[2]Product will be available for purchase at theAirTool.com website but only atthe SMRP price, plus shipping and handling, pricing it higher than at ourchannel partner stores.
[5] Typically, independent distributors arecompensated with a 5%-10% sales commission. Outside Sales Reps generally charge between 10% - 20%. Distributor costsare 10% in the financials and Sales Rep commissions are 15%. Beginning August 2011 management may solicitbuyers internally, without the aid of a 3rd party distributor orindependent Outside Sales reps.
AirTool™ Innovation
TheAirTool™ maximizes the benefits of swimming by taking breathing out of theequation. Newswimmers can learn to focus on proper and efficient swimming form without having to learn the complexities of breathingbetween strokes. The perfect bodyform for freestyle swimmers is considered to be when the swimmersface looks straight ahead with the surface of the water hitting the center ofthe swimmers forehead. This form offersthe least amount of drag across the shoulder area, thus allowing the body toskim or "plane" on top of the water versus a lowered head position, whichgreatly increases surface area. With the AirTool™ you can swim as slowly as youwant to, concentrating on maintaining form, ensuring a symmetrical workoutwhile eliminating all undue stress on the neck and back. Beginners will havethe form of a professional – a Matt Biondi, Mark Spitz or Michael Phelps -within weeks.
Byremoving the need to breathe on either side, the AirTool™ allows not only forbeginning swimmers to learn proper form more quickly, it also helps mitigate theapprehension of trying to breathe while swimming. Many beginning swimmers simplygive up on trying to learn because they are never able to get over thedifficulties of getting a sufficient amount of air. The AirTool™ gives swimmers a large, steadyamount of air so that even the novice can breathe as much or as little as theylike. The AirTool™ willtherefore increase the total population of swimmers because it makes theactivity easier to learn.
Industry Innovation
Onesign that the swimming industry is growing is that companies are makingsignificant investments in research and development. The result has been influxof innovation which the AirTool™ will leverage. Recent developments in the lastdecade include:
· Men'sand Women's swimsuits that decrease drag and turbulence around the body.
· Competitionwetsuits for open water swimming which provide superior hydrodynamics byincreasing buoyancy and reducing drag
· Swimgoggles that offer UV protection, anti-fog, anti-glare and increasedhydrodynamic capabilities
· Trainingdevices such as training belts, paddles, kick boards, and high performancefins.
· Waterproofentertainment devices such as waterproof MP3 Players to alleviate tedious lapswimming and coach/swimmer communication systems
Theseinnovations illustrate the public's insatiable need for better products thatenable them to train better and swim faster. More importantly, recentinnovations in snorkels (from our competitors) illustrate the markets readinessfor exercise, training and competition snorkels. The AirTool™ has significantadvantages over each and should immediately become the industry leader uponrelease. The latest snorkel innovations are detailed in the competition sectionand industry wide advances in Appendix X. The history of swimming demonstratesthat evolution is nothing new to the sport.

Some things you can teach yourself (get drawing materials, start drawing), at least to some extent, but others require dedicated facilities, more specialist equipment and instruction. For example, being self-taught without access to such facilities, I've never learned printmaking, though I am intrigued by the various processes and how these can fit into my practice. A whole new layer of installation components would be possible, plus of course I might be able to make affordable objects that people would buy (it's not about the money for most artists, myself included, but we need some…)
So, I'm just about to finish the Beginners & Improvers printmaking course at Red Hot Press, where we've covered linocut, cardcut, drypoint, monoprint and etching, and I also learned some basic screenprinting. It's been fascinating to go through the systematic processes needed for each of these – recipes that I hope to be able to combine, tweak and experiment with as I gain more experience. A huge hole in what I know how to do is starting to be filled. I have a few (such as the Foot Archer drypoint which is in the slideshow below and features the current world record holder) that I'm really happy with and which other people like, to the extent I think I could sell these. Others, such as the Stelarc ear-on-arm cardcut I found more challenging but are being incorporated into mixed media and collage, and ultimately into installation work. The challenge here is not the original image (I know I can draw, hence the drypoint working well), but the choice of technique, the simplification needed for relief prints, the discipline and protocols of printmaking, and balancing this against experimentation and free expression.
There's more to come on this topic, hopefully a lot more. I'm only at the start, but aim to do further work and courses through Red Hot Press, in particular using found objects, collographs (which may also use such materials) and abstraction – and of course practising my new skills before they get rusty. For now, here's a selection of images sampling the output of my first foray into printmaking.

Fancy Coloured Diamonds - The Facts of Colour Grading
Posted on: 06/06/2016
The world's largest fancy intense blue diamond, the 'Cullinan Dream', is being auctioned as the centrepiece of Christie's Magnificent Jewels and The Cullinan Dream action in New York this Thursday. The impressive 21.18ct blue diamond was cut from a 122.52ct rough diamond found in 2014 and is expected to fetch up to £19.8m!
Those of you who keep up with your diamond auction news may have noticed, however, that this is substantially less than the whopping £39.5m total fetched by the 14.62ct Oppenheimer Blue diamond just a few weeks ago. The Oppenheimer Blue is only around two thirds of the carat weight of the Cullinan Dream so why did it fetch twice as much?
The answer lies in a closer look at the colour grading of fancy diamonds. While, the cut, clarity, and carat weight of fancy diamonds are assessed in very similar ways to colourless diamonds, the colour is rated very differently. (Although the clarity of fancy diamonds can also be affected by variations in a stone's colour as colour grading is considered to be an inclusion, clarity is still much less important for fancy diamonds than it is for colourless ones as the colour is the main feature.)
The colour of fancy diamonds is assessed very differently to other diamonds. This is because normally diamonds are graded according to how colourless they are. Top rated diamonds are given a 'D' grade, which is also known as 'colourless'. From there, the further down the alphabet you go, the more colour creeps into the stone as it goes lower down the scale until the last few letters of the alphabet are applied to stones with an S-Z grading, which means light yellow. Obviously this scale isn't very helpful, however, when you're trying to assess the intensity of colour in a diamond instead of its absence! Coloured diamonds are therefore graded according to a slightly different scale. The example from the Gemological Institute of America below demonstrates the colour grading for blue diamonds and shows why they are so much more complicated. On this scale, the least valuable colour ratings are shown at the top left of the diagram, labelled 'faint', while the strongest and most valuable fancy diamonds are towards the right, called 'fancy vivid' or sometimes 'fancy deep'.
Fancy Blue Diamonds - tone and saturation chart from the GIA
Instead of a straightforward scale from colourless to coloured, colour scales for fancy diamonds have to consider three factors:
- Hue - This refers to the type of colour. Fancy diamonds come in a wide range of colours, ranging from the most common (fancy yellow) to the incredibly rare (such as fancy red, of which there are only four recognised examples in the world). Blue is one of the rarer hues.
- Saturation - This means assessing the intensity of the colour by looking at how strong or weak it is. The stronger the colour, the further to the right-hand side of the scale above it will be located and the more rare and valuable it will be.
- Tone - This refers to the relative light or darkness of a stone and affects whether it is termed, for example, 'Fancy Intense' or 'Fancy Deep', placing it towards the top or the bottom of the scale above.
If we compare the two big blue diamonds side by side we can directly see the effect this colour grading has on the value of the gemstones.
Name: Cullinan Dream
Carat Weight: 21.18ct
Colour Grading: Fancy Intense Blue
(Estimated) Price at auction: £19.8m
Name: Oppenheimer Blue
Carat Weight: 14.62ct
Colour Grading: Fancy Vivid Blue
Price at auction: £39.5m
As you can see, the Oppenheimer Blue, despite being smaller than the Cullinan Dream, has a higher colour rating of 'Fancy Vivid', making it a much rarer colour and leading to a substantial increase in value. The Cullinan Dream is estimated to only fetch half as much because it is a step further down on the colour scale at 'Fancy Intense'.
Of course, the Cullinan Dream is still estimated to fetch nearly £20m, which is quite a bit more than casual pocket change to most people, but just think what it might have been worth if it had been graded 'Fancy Vivid' instead!

Celebrating its 10th Anniversary in 2014, the Rockerverb Series demonstrates better than anything else that a workhorse amp can be a master of all trades. The original Rockerverb was actually our first ever 'high gain' amplifier, with a unique voice that quickly became a firm favourite amongst the heavy crowd. However, its supreme versatility and dependability meant the series has been a mainstay for touring artists and session aces, both on the road and in the studio. The Rockerverb 100 MKIII head combines over a decade of user feedback with a number of new details and improvements. In a first for the Rockerverb Series, the MKIIIs include selectable output power options to manipulate headroom and volume, with the 100 Watt version switching down to 70, 50 or 30W. The MKIII also features the same footswitchable attenuator that has been so popular with users of our Thunderverb and Dual Dark Series amps. The Clean channel has been revoiced on the MKIIIs for a more 'chimey' response. The clean side now has even greater headroom than previous models, whilst still retaining the warmth and vintage character of a non-master volume design. Also, the valve driven spring reverb now has a more extensive range with a brighter trail. Add to this a host of other hidden refinements and you have the finest sounding and most feature-laden Rockerverb to date.

This weekend I have been cooking. Specifically, I've been cooking Cavolo Nero Chips. This may surprise any of my NZ friends as when I lived there I was well known as someone who didn't even own a tea towel, but you'll be amazed at how many hobbies I can develop the weekend I'm supposed to sort out my end of year accounts (watch for tomorrow's post on origami swans). However, my trip to the kitchen was not purely sparked by procrastination, there was also a chance encounter in Sainsbury's with a bag of Cavolo Nero aka black cabbage.
Now I was first told about this stuff by Jennifer's Aniston's personal chefs Jewels and Jill (get me!) when I interviewed them a while back and they gave me a recipe for 'crisps' made out of it. I'd been meaning to try them for ages, but hadn't seen the Cavolo Nero…admittedly, I've now discovered recipes for crisps – or chips – made from normal kale all over the web which I could have done weeks ago… but anyway; it goes like this….
Cavolo Nero Chips
1 bunch of Cavolo Nero (about 1lb/450g)
Olive oil
Sea salt
1) Preheat oven to 325F/180C
2) Wash the Cavolo well and dry the leaves
3) Remove the leaves from the stems and cut them into bite sized pieces
4) Spread them on a large baking sheet – or two.
5) Drizzle or spray a little olive oil over the top, rubbing it gently so the leaves are covered. Sprinkle with a little sea salt
6) Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes. They are done when the chips darken to a deep green. Cool for at least 2 minutes before eating.
So, I did – and the pic of the results is here (NB: I am not a food stylist!). So, what do Cavolo Nero chips taste like I hear you cry? Actually not bad – they do crumble a bit when you try and dip them in hummus – I'm thinking sweet chilli would be a better choice. They're not going to put Dorito's out of business, but with an average calorie count per my calculations of about 30 per 10 crisps (if you use a spray oil) they're certainly figure friendly. Plus Cavolo is a source of iron, calcium, vitamin C, vitamin K and folic acid. Which might account for why Jennifer Aniston looks quite so amazing; although if these were on the JA's list of fave J&J foods I'm pretty sure she also travels with floss and a mirror. They REALLY leave green bits on your teeth. Do not eat before a first date or job interview.
Cavolo Nero pic: h-bomb / photo on flick
Yes, yes, I know the tagline for this blog is 'Barely Any Kale' – and Cavolo Nero is a very close relative to kale, but hey, I said 'Barely Any' not none. I like kale, it's good for you. It has it's place in a healthy diet but there was a time in wellness world when it was everywhere – and that was about when I relaunched this blog! However, to prove I'm not biased toward kale lovers here's a few essential kaley purchases. First up, a kale stripper which makes it easy to get the leaves off the thick stem; secondly Inspiral Kale Chips – being too lazy to go through most of the above process regularly, I'm a big fan of these.And finally, Fifty Shades of Kale – the kale cookery book with the best title ever. If you want to find out more, or buy them, click on the pics and you'll go straight to their amazon page.

During the Sundays of Lent, we are focusing upon Jesus' ministry by using the image of his clothing, his robe. Last week, our theme was the shining robe of the Transfiguration. Jesus is a reflection of God's glory and we can also reflect God's love by our actions of kindness.
Today, we are looking at the healing robe. In the Gospel accounts, Jesus is well known as a healer. He is seen as having great compassion for people and a desire to lift them out of their suffering. People are not left in the condition that he finds them.
Here is a general description from Mark:
"That evening at sundown, they brought to Jesus all who were sick. And the whole town was gathered around the door. And Jesus cured many who were sick with various diseases. All who had diseases pressed upon him to touch him."
In the Gospel story for today, we have an unnamed woman who is part of a crowd that was gathering around Jesus.
We are told a few things about her: she has a persistent illness and for 12 years she has sought medical help. Her health has not improved. Financially, she has little resources left.
If you have been sick or taken care of someone sick, you know what this means.
One's daily life changes: your schedule revolves around appointments, and medications, and tests, and waiting for answers. You lose touch with what is happening outside. People have told me: "the only time I go outside the house is to the doctor."
For this woman, because of the nature of her sickness, she would not be welcome in certain places. Every day she would have to deal with the debilitating fatigue of chronic anemia. Illness can isolate us from our neighbors, and add to our loss of hope.
A friend of mine told me that during the early 1940's she had an aunt who had tuberculosis and was sent to a sanatorium in the mountains of N.C. She was some distance away and her family did not have a means for visiting her. Her aunt felt very alone and neglected during the many months she was away.
Even after she returned to her community, she had problems reconnecting with the family. Illness effects many areas of our lives, not just our bodies.
The woman in the story must have used all her energy in order to find Jesus. She has a bold faith. Desperation could have spurred her on but she is courageous. She doesn't ask for permission but she takes hold of the edge of Jesus' robe believing that something would happen if she could just make contact.
She touches his clothing, and her medical problem is resolved. She may have been known as "that sick lady who lives on the corner" and now she is well! Jesus turns, acknowledges her, and wants to hear her story.
In a very tender way, he breaks down barriers to make her part of the community again: Jesus calls her "daughter."
If this woman has been shunned before, she is accepted now by Jesus. Everyone around has over heard the details of her pain, but they have also heard about her faith.
To be well was important to Jesus and it is important to us also.
We offer prayer every Sunday for those in need. Our Tuesday morning prayer team faithfully prays for each and every one of the joys and concerns that we provide through Sunday worship and our outdoor prayer cross. Our children make encouraging cards that are given to our homebound members.
Our Stephen ministry offers one to one peer support for those who are experiencing brokenness in their lives. We offer the anointing of oil whenever we celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Communion. And we will be offering a time of healing in worship today as well.
Now, I cannot explain the hows or the whys of our many prayers for healing.
When the outcome is not what we wanted, when we wonder "why not me," I can't say it was because we did not have enough faith or we didn't pray in the right ways.
I do believe that there are always changes because of prayer: for those who are praying, and for the situation. Even when we are disappointed, we can receive God's peace. Even when we are heartbroken, we can realize that God is still with us. We may not be able to see the many ways that God's love was realized in our lives or in others' lives.
Kayla Mueller was a young woman from Arizona who worked for human rights thru a variety of organizations in many countries. In 2013 she was taken hostage in Syria; she died in captivity three years ago.
Following all of this, her family released a letter that Kayla had written to them. She stated in the letter her great appreciation for their support.
She wrote: "I remember mom always telling me that all in all in the end, the only one you really have is God. I have come to a place in experience where, in every sense of the word, I have surrendered myself to our creator because literally there was no else … by God and by your prayers I have felt tenderly cradled in free fall."
To me that phrase "tenderly cradled in free fall" captures the essence of the experience of prayer. As we pray for someone else, we become part of their story, we offer our love and our support. We become part of God's wide net of compassion.
We will take time today to pray for ourselves and for others. Everyone of us hurts in some way or knows of the heartache of another. We may need the healing of a broken relationship, the release from an addiction, the lifting of a burden.
A doctor was writing about this Gospel passage and he commented that when Jesus healed persons, it appears to happen very quickly. In the doctor's experience, healing may be a slow process, and patience and prayer are part of that process.
We will have stations up front where we will offer the anointing of oil. When you come for prayer, you will be anointed with oil and a blessing will be offered.
You may not have a pressing need, but wish to come in recognition of Christ's care for you. You are welcome to come representing the need of another person. You may want to pray for a family or a neighborhood. You may feel led to come because of your concern for a situation in our world that is overwhelming. There will be no asking of why you came, only a claiming of God's grace for you and for whatever is on your heart.
Just as the woman from our scripture reading emerged from the crowd and touched the hem of Jesus' robe, we too, are invited to come and receive God's healing comfort and presence.
As we sing several hymns about healing, come as you feel led. Come and touch the robe.
Come, Touch the Healing Robe of Jesus
Small Group Discussion Questions
Psalm 25:1-10 & Luke 8:43-48
February 18, 2018
Our Gospel reading provides the story that probably best sums up our season of Lent sermon series on the different robes of Jesus. We are told that a woman who had been ill for 12 years, "came up behind him (Jesus) and touched the fringe of his clothes…" During these weeks of Lent, we are invited to come, touch Jesus' robe.
What helps you to be bold in your faith like this woman who was willing to reach out and touch Jesus' robe?
In addition to physical healing, Jesus' also offers emotional, mental, relational, and spiritual healing and many times, these kinds of healing overlap.
How has Jesus brought healing in your life? Are you in need of a particular kind of healing now?
The woman in our Gospel reading who needed to be healed probably experienced social isolation because of her illness and being considered "unclean" by the people around her.
Share a time when you felt renewed and strengthened thanks to the care, support, and encouragement from others. Why is being in community and relationship with others an important part of our health and well-being?
Some of our church's healing ministries include our prayer ministry, the anointing of oil during our Holy Communion Sundays, and Stephen Ministry which offers one to one peer support for people who are going through a particular challenge or transition in their lives.
Share any prayer needs for people who need healing in their lives.
Close your time together by offering this prayer for healing:
Almighty and everlasting God, who can banish all affliction both of soul and of body, show forth your power upon those in need, that by your mercy they may be restored to serve you afresh in holiness of living, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Hepatitis A Vaccine For ($92 - Child / $139 - Adult) at Select Rite Aid Pharmacies
What is hepatitis A?
Hepatitis A is a serious liver disease caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV). HAV is found in the stool of people with hepatitis A.
It is usually spread by close personal contact and sometimes by eating food or drinking water containing HAV. A person who has hepatitis A can easily pass the disease to others within the same household.
Hepatitis A can cause:
- "flu-like" illness
- jaundice (yellow skin or eyes, dark urine)
- severe stomach pains and diarrhea (children)
People with hepatitis A often have to be hospitalized (up to about 1 person in 5).
Adults with hepatitis A are often too ill to work for up to a month.
Sometimes, people die as a result of hepatitis A (about 3–6 deaths per 1,000 cases).
Hepatitis A vaccine can prevent hepatitis A.
Who should get hepatitis A vaccine and when?
Some people should be routinely vaccinated with hepatitis A vaccine:
- All children between their first and second birthdays (12 through 23 months of age).
- Anyone 1 year of age and older traveling to or working in countries with high or intermediate prevalence of hepatitis A, such as those located in Central or South America, Mexico, Asia (except Japan), Africa, and eastern Europe. For more
information see www.cdc. gov/travel.
- Children and adolescents 2 through 18 years of age who live in states or communities where routine vaccination has been implemented because of high disease incidence.
- Men who have sex with men.
- People who use street drugs.
- People with chronic liver disease.
- People who are treated with clotting factor concentrates.
- People who work with HAV-infected primates or who work with HAV in research laboratories.
- Members of households planning to adopt a child, or care for a newly arriving adopted child, from a country where hepatitis A is common.
Other people might get hepatitis A vaccine in certain situations (ask your RediClinic Clinician for more details):
- Unvaccinated children or adolescents in communities where outbreaks of hepatitis A are occurring.
- Unvaccinated people who have been exposed to hepatitis A virus.
- Anyone 1 year of age or older who wants protection from hepatitis A.
Hepatitis A vaccine is not licensed for children younger than 1 year of age.
For children, the first dose should be given at 12 through 23 months of age. Children who are not vaccinated by 2 years of age can be vaccinated at later visits.
For others at risk, the hepatitis A vaccine series may be started whenever a person wishes to be protected or is at risk of infection.
For travelers, it is best to start the vaccine series at least one month before traveling. (Some protection may still result if the vaccine is given on or closer to the travel date.)
Two doses of the vaccine are needed for lasting protection. These doses should be given at least 6 months apart. Hepatitis A vaccine may be given at the same time as other vaccines.
Some people should not get hepatitis A vaccine or should wait.
- Anyone who has ever had a severe (life threatening) allergic reaction to a previous dose of hepatitis A vaccine should not get another dose.
- Anyone who has a severe (life threatening) allergy to any vaccine component should not get the vaccine.
- Tell your RediClinic Clinician if you have any severe allergies, including a severe allergy to latex. All hepatitis A vaccines contain alum, and some hepatitis A vaccines contain 2-phenoxyethanol.
- Anyone who is moderately or severely ill at the time the shot is scheduled should probably wait until they recover. Ask your RediClinic Clinician. People with a mild illness can usually get the vaccine.
- Tell your RediClinic Clinician if you are pregnant. Because hepatitis A vaccine is inactivated (killed), the risk to a pregnant woman or her unborn baby is believed to be very low. But your RediClinic Clinician can weigh any theoretical
risk from the vaccine against the need for protection.

The West Coast, especially California has a lure to it that attracts many of the East Coast folk. It seems there are many good reasons why people are moving to LA from NYC
Reasons To Move To LA From NYC
Weather ask anyone why he or she are moving, or moved to Los Angeles from New York City, and guaranteed, his or her first answer will be because of the weather. It is common knowledge that the temperatures in Los Angeles throughout the year are mild to hot, with a rainy season February thru April. If you like the weather of the Mediterranean, you will appreciate the climate of Los Angeles.
Space Los Angeles has plenty of space compared with New York City. LA is a "sprawling" city. To some and as the definition states, it is spread out in an unnatural manner. However, this vast amount of sprawling LA space has appeal to many New Yorkers needing to exhale from the denseness of NYC.
Nature From every direction, the urban jungle of Los Angeles is surrounded by nature. Mountain views are visible from almost all major freeway routes. And it's not only the beaches and mountains of Los Angeles that make this city so attractive to nature lovers. It's proximity to some of California's finest nature is so easily accessible from all of Los Angeles. Within a few hours you can be in some incredible spots, such as: Ojai, Mammoth, Big Sur, and Joshua Tree, to name a few. For anyone who enjoys being with nature, Los Angeles has it all.
Clean living Many New Yorkers are very serious about living a healthy lifestyle, however, healthy living in Los Angeles is such the norm, that its hard to not want to jump on the clean living bandwagon. Angelenos believe that clean living is more than just exercising and healthy eating. When you're moving from NYC to LA you'll notice that many people who consciously live a clean lifestyle, will also incorporate sustainable living in and around their home. With luck, this can often mean peaceful neighbors!
Family Los Angeles is great if you have a young family. The weather permits year round outdoors activity. There are playgrounds everywhere and the beaches and other outdoor family friendly excursions are easily accessible. There are also a lot of classes and activities to fulfill any child's interest. Moving With Your Kids to Los Angeles will be one of the best things you do, as New York is a playground and creative center predominantly for adults.
Is Los Angeles really more relaxed than New York City?
New York is a very fast paced city, and the pressure can often be felt by some of the inhabitants. The weather can also have an impact on how we feel, and in New York City the weather can at times be pretty harsh. In Los Angeles, one never really needs to worry about the weather, and the city has its own time zone, making it a very laid back city, except of course for the traffic, which can at times be extremely frustrating, even for laid back Angelenos. Although Los Angeles traffic has a bad reputation, it could be used as an opportunity to chill out and watch the sunset, for example, from your car. Simple things just seem to be a lot easier in Los Angeles!
When is the best time to move to Los Angeles?

Mommy Makeover | Dr. Karen Leong
Mommy Makeover is a big topic. I think people often get a little confused about what a mommy makeover really is. A mom is someone that we all love and treasure. Someone who shapes us and cares for us and nurtures us. A lot of times they get pushed to the side. Their needs and their desires are secondary to their children.
So when I have a patient who comes in a says, "I've had three kids, you know, I just feel like I'm neglecting myself and I just want to feel the way I did before them." They don't want to forget that they had children, absolutely not. They love their children. But kids wreck havoc, let's be honest. They stretch out your belly, they make your breasts deflate and sag. They give you double chins, they give you bags under your eyes. They make your vaginas floppy and loose. Yeah, that sucks, excuse my language.
But, you know, there are options. So, when a woman comes and says, "I'm ready for a mommy makeover." It may be a whole list of things. We can work on those one at a time. The most common combination of mommy makeover, and I think this is what you see in media, are breasts and belly. So this could be breast augmentation, it could be a breast lift, it could be paired with tummy tuck or liposuction. These days more and more women are feeling comfortable and like they have an option for a vaginal rejuvenation.
I think one of the things I love about being a female surgeon is that I can approach this topic. I can go to a woman and say, "Hey, you know, we've talked about your belly, but what I'm seeing is that you're pretty full down below too. How do you feel about that? Or, how is your function? Are you leaking urine? Are you feeling dry? How is sex?" Those are all important parts. It's even more important than how we look on the outside. It's how you feel because your relationships are such a big part of your rejuvenation.
So, that's Mommy Makeover. It's a big topic like I said. But you and I, we can sit down and figure it out.

As a rule doctor's facility offices, a medical attendant more often than not thinks about 4-6 patients, while ICU requires one medical caretaker for 1-2 patients.
American medical caretaker may perform such obligations as interest in setting up the conclusion, solution of medications, quiet consideration and treatment, guiding patients about self-care after hospitalization.
The lion's share of medical caretakers coming to work in the U.S. from different nations are amazed with free apparel style of American medical caretakers. Conventional white uniform with a top is not any more a standard. Most attendants wear agreeable careful dress and games shoes while on obligation.
In the wake of getting a migration work visa, you move to the U.S., where you get the Green Card. Not long after your entry, you will be contracted to work in the U.S. medicinal foundation as an authorized attendant as per the already marked "work contract."

Public Workshops & Seminars
We offer public workshops & seminars on Viking martial arts, Viking culture and Viking Age crafting. The workshops are fairly short (50 minutes to 4 hours) and are designed to be introductions to the various topics. They are fun events that are perfect for an evening out with friends or a great date with that special someone. For the Viking martial art intro workshops we play Viking games, introduce a lot of material in a short amount of time and have you sparring by the end of the workshop. The purpose of the public workshops are not to get everything right and we generally don't have the time to make sure everyone's form and technique is perfect. If you want to focus on building your skills and are more serious about your dedication to the martial art or a craft, our regular classes are a better fit.
Regular Classes - Viking Martial Arts
Our regular classes are for those who are more serious about becoming skilled at Viking combat. This doesn't mean you need to be a die-hard and spend every waking moment training. Even if you are more casual about the pursuit but want to hone your skills, these are the classes to attend. However, our regular classes and memberships are not immediately available to the public. You must have earned the rank of Karl before you can get a Viking Martial Arts Membership and take these classes. To earn the rank of Karl you need to go through our Beginner's Karl Program.
Regular Classes - Thrown Weapons
We also offer classes and practice sessions for throwing weapons: axes, spears, javelins and seaxes. These classes have their own membership option for those who are primarily interested in throwing things.
Open Gym & Clinics
We have Open Gym once per week for both Viking Martial Arts and Throwing. These are two hour sessions where you can come in and practice, play Viking games and more. Our clinics are 30 minute instructor lead drill sessions. Open Gym and Clinics are free with a standard membership.
Parties & Corporate Events
We also offer birthday parties, other types of parties and corporate events. Contact us to learn more.

The Battle of El-Tel
I used the El-Teb scenario in the back of the book as a starting point for the forces and stats, although I cut back on some of the troop types and factors. In particular I reduced the awesome power of the British Hussars, who seem to be armed with phasers and chainsaws.
Very cleverly I forgot my camera, so I was reduced to taking a few snapshots on my Blackberry.
As ever with Black Powder it gave us an amusing evening but it's never quite right. You wonder what books the authors have been reading if they think that cavalry is a war winning weapon against the frightening Fuzzy-Wuzzy. Their effectiveness and the whole set of rules about infantry fighting cavalry need to be looked at if we're going to use them again. I also don't get why Highlanders have better HtH factors than Fuzzies and also better stamina.
The British were on a punitive expedition against a lonely village, fronted by a wadi, and flanked by some hills. The approach march was halting due to some poor command rolls, until the lead brigade blundered and veered off at an angle.
Here you can see that they've successfully exposed their flank to the wadi at the top of the screen, thus tempting the Dervishes to launch a full scale assault. Again, thanks to poor command rolls they decided to stay concealed behind the hills, and encourage further British indiscretions.
Eventually the Dervishes came out of hiding and decided to set-too.
Here you can see them try to launch an attack from the wadi. They moved off, but only got one move segment so didn't make it (we were using centimetres for inches as these are 15mm figures). This timidity on the part of the dervish hordes gave the Brits a chance to recover and form the obligatory Brigade Square.
The square was formed in a hurry, and the infantry just about made it. You can see to the bottom of the picture the Gardner gun and a packed up screw gun that got left outside. The other brigade artillery is still milling around in the middle of the square with the water bowser, out of formation, as the fuzzies slam into the front face. Meanwhile the Northampton Yeomanry square up to the supporting dervish warband.
This was the main confrontation of the evening. The attack on the square took three turns to fight off. The dervishes survived repeated break tests for losing melee, which was only fair as the British had outrageous luck on their saving rolls. The cavalry broke that warband, but the lead regiment was likewise destroyed by some others coming up into support.
Off picture to the top the Highlanders from the other brigade lined the wadi and tried to shoot off three or four dervish warbands. They failed, - the shooting was okay, but the melee didn't go their way as two warbands managed to pool resources in the fight.
So we called it a day. Marginal British victory, but the loss of a cavalry and an infantry regiment was quite a high price to pay.
BP did the job on the evening, but they're clearly a Napoleonic set of rules that's just spread out in either direction. The factors and rules for colonial forces just aren't quite there, although no doubt the colonial supplement whenever it turns up will solve that.
For preference I'd play Science v Pluck, but that's harder work for the umpire and the players so BP fitted the bill this week.
We may return when I remeber my camera.
2 comments:
Only recently encountered your blog, which makes an interesting read. Having read all of your BP posts i just wanted to say how much I agree with the comments you have made, especially about the absence of info in the original rules for early/mid 18th century games.ReplyDelete
I game the SYW and refused to purchase Last Argument of Kings for exactly the reasons you mention - it doesn't sound as if the ideas contained therein are really worth £25 of my money, and I feel I have already paid for a set of rules supposedly covering the 18th century - so why should I pay again? Not to mention that the relevant section in LAOK on the SYW (or in your case the WAS) will probably only be a few pages, which isn't much for the asking price.
I have always enjoyed my BP games, and they remain my favourite published set for this period. I actually quite enjoy reading through them and like the chatty style, finding the rules in general well explained. But I sometimes despair of the GW-style marketing policies of companies like Warlord (which I understand is run by ex-GW people) who claim to be just enthusiastic wargamers but seem prepared to fleece their fellow gamers at every opportunity.
Thanks for taking the time to catch up with theblog. It's always good to know that there are people out there reading the back posts and occasionally agreeing with you.
I try ot reply to all comments, - the dealy on this has been because I've been on holiday.
Any way, welcome on board.

Joshua Redman, 'Back East' at Blues Alley
JOHN YDSTIE, host:
This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm John Ydstie.
We're here in the storied(ph) Washington, D.C., jazz club, Blues Alley, with sax player Joshua Redman, who's just released a new recording called "Back East." Blues Alley has a small stage. The crew is setting up for tonight's performance. Tables and chairs are scattered around the room. The walls are exposed brick. It's dark. There's a bar in the back. It feels like an old jazz club in any American city 50 years ago.
"Back East" is Joshua Redman's 11th album, and it's his first recording with an acoustic trio. Listeners may detect a certain thematic similarity with an album that was recorded 50 years ago by Sonny Rollins titled "Way Out West."
(Soundbite of song, "I'm an Old Cowhand")
YDSTIE: Joshua Redman included "I'm an Old Cowhand" on "Back East" and several other tunes from the Rollins album. "Back East" also have songs by John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, Rodgers and Hammerstein and pieces composed by Joshua Redman himself.
Joshua Redman, thanks so much for taking the time to speak with us this morning.
Mr. JOSHUA REDMAN (Jazz Saxophonist): It's great to be here. Thanks for having me.
YDSTIE: Obviously, "Way Out West" was an inspiration for your new album, "Back East." Tell us how the idea developed.
Mr. REDMAN: Well, if I had to name my biggest influence as a saxophonist and an improviser, it would probably be Sonny Rollins. And I've been listening to his music since I started playing the saxophone since I was 10 years old. But when I set out to do this recording, the only concept for the recording was that I wanted to do acoustic trio record, a record with saxophone, bass and drums.
YDSTIE: Which is what the Rollins album was.
Mr. REDMAN: Exactly. But I wasn't really thinking about "Way Out West" or Sonny Rollins specifically. I just really wanted to do something in this, kind of, really stripped down intimate acoustic context. And, really, I was just, kind of - it was almost by accident. I was working on some music and I had my iTunes on in the background and it was on shuffle, and Sonny Rollins' "Way Out West" came on - actually, "I'm an Old Cowhand" - from the record came on.
I mean, I used to listen to record all the time, but I hadn't heard it for, probably, 10 years. And, you know, it just blew me away. I really have these kind of moments of inspiration, but - immediately, I would like to do my version of this song. And so I, kind of, whipped up an arrangement very fast, which is also something that I don't do. I don't usually work fast.
And it felt really good. And then I did an arrangement of "Wagon Wheels," which is another song from the record. So all of a sudden this project started to take on other themes than just, hey, I want to do a trio record.
YDSTIE: Yeah. Now, the trio is sax, acoustic bass and drums.
Mr. REDMAN: Exactly.
YDSTIE: No piano.
Mr. REDMAN: Exactly. No piano. It's a tremendously liberating format or instrumentation. There's a lot of freedom there. Because there is no piano, because there is no dedicated harmonic instrument, it gives me, as the saxophone player, and the bassist and the drummer so much room to experiment and to interact and to explore both melodically and harmonically and on all levels - rhythmically, texturally.
But it's also incredibly challenging. I mean, with that freedom comes great responsibility. And harmony really defines the sound of modern jazz in a lot of ways. So when you're playing without a dedicated harmonic instrument, there's that much more responsibility.
YDSTIE: And you're going to play an Oscar Hammerstein tune for us now, "The Surrey With The Fringe On Top."
Mr. REDMAN: Yeah. Well, I first learned to play the tune from Miles Davis' version and then later from Sonny Rollins' version.
YDSTIE: And that's why you chose it.
Mr. REDMAN: Yes. And also because it's, I think, the first song that I ever wrote or arranged specifically with trio in mind. So it's kind of been in the book, you know, in the repertoire for a long time. So I figured I got to get out there at some point.
YDSTIE: And it's the same arrangement?
Mr. REDMAN: It's actually evolved quite a bit. Now it goes through different key signatures, every eight bars and much of it, except the (unintelligible). So, you know, "The Surrey" started out as like a covered wagon, and then like my version was, like, this, kind of, like, souped up, turbo-charged surrey. But then, now, like, I guess, you know, we've got to be ecologically conscious now. So this is the hybrid surrey.
YDSTIE: Well, let's hear it.
(Soundbite of song, "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top")
YDSTIE: That's saxophonist Josh Redman's arrangement of the "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top." Our bassist is Larry Grenadier, and on drums, Ali Jackson.
Do you like the process of recording an album? Some jazz players say, you know, it's just too confining to go into the studio and have to work…
Mr. REDMAN: Sure.
YDSTIE: …in this context.
Mr. REDMAN: I love it. Yeah, because it's a chance to play the music that you're playing in a very, very focused way. I mean, don't get me wrong, there's nothing can substitute for a live performance. And, really, in jazz, I think it's a live performance where the music really becomes complete because it's a music of improvisation, of spontaneity, you're in the moment, you're interacting with other musicians, with the audience.
But when you make a record, it's a chance to really focus on the subtleties and the details. And, you know, a lot of great music can be made in a studio that can't be made live. It's different but - I think of a record like Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue," one of the great jazz records of all time. That album would not have sounded the same, and it wouldn't have the impact that it had had it been done live.
YDSTIE: Your father, Dewey Redman, plays tenor sax with you on "India" on the album but he died before this album came out. He had a surprise for you, though, "GJ." Tell us about that tune.
Mr. REDMAN: Yeah. Well, originally, dad and I were only supposed to play one tune together. And in fact, we did only play one tune together. We played "India." And it went pretty well, we did a few takes, and we're both were pretty happy with it. And I was, like, okay, time to move on. Thanks for coming in, dad.
And he was, like, well, you know, I'd like to do something else. So I said, great, what do you want to play? And he said, well, actually, I want to play something without you. So I said, hmm, this is my session and my record. This is also my father, and it's the great Dewey Redman. So I said, okay, well, you know, I'll go out and get a coffee, and I came back, and you know, he was packing up.
(Soundbite of song "GJ")
Mr. REDMAN: And I said how did it go? He said, great, one take. And I didn't even listened to it at that time because we were, kind of, running behind. The session had to move forward, but he said, you know, the name of the song is "GJ." It stands for grandson Jaden. Jaden is my son's name. And he was born in February of 2006. We recorded in May of 2006. And my father had met him one time in April, and it turned that it was the only time my father had met him.
My father intended the song as a gift to Jaden, to his grandson Jaden. You know, originally, I wasn't necessarily planning to put it on the album, beautiful as it was, but after my father passed away, it just - it seemed like the right thing to do.
(Soundbite of "GJ")
Mr. REDMAN: It is a beautiful, soulful, like his music. And my father is one of the most soulful musicians ever. I mean, he taught me about soul, and I hope, you know, someday to have 100th of the soul and wisdom in my sound that he has in his.
YDSTIE: You're going to play "East of the Sun (And West of the Moon)." What made you choose this tune for the album?
Mr. REDMAN: Well, like I said, originally, when I started doing this project, I had no concept, but after the Rollins material, then this whole theme, this concept of great saxophone influences entered into the picture. And so "East of the Sun (And West of the Moon)," even though Stan Getz didn't write it, it's a song I really associate with him.
(Soundbite of song, "East of the Sun (And West of the Moon)")
YDSTIE: You've expressed some uneasiness over the fact that some people have called your music accessible. You suggest it as both a blessing and a curse because that suggestion must be compromising or conforming in some way.
Mr. REDMAN: Right. Right. Yeah. I don't have any problem if my music is accessible. The problem I have is if people think that I'm trying to create my music so bad, it is accessible because that's never been the case. For me, a music like jazz isn't first and foremost about entertainment. I'm happy if people are entertained. I'm happy if there's something in my music that people respond to, and at various times, I think that there has been.
But the great responsibility that I feel and that I've always felt as a jazz musician has been to try to play music that's honest, that's creative, that's in the moment, that's expressive of what I'm feeling and thinking right now. And so it's important for me that people understand that.
YDSTIE: Joshua Redman, thank you so much for speaking with us.
Mr. REDMAN: Thank you. It's been a great pleasure.
YDSTIE: Joshua Redman's new release is "Back East." He performed for us with bass player Larry Grenadier and Ali Jackson on drums. Our piece was recorded by Rob Bayers(ph) and Daniel Schuken(ph). There's more from Josh Redman on our Web site, npr.org.
