The hard facts are that setting business in a foreign nation with an inviting environment for businesses is quite a challenge if you don't know your way around the law and regulations of the country.
Dubai has become the financial center of the world since 2005, and the Arab nation doesn't seem to stop as they keep attracting more investors with each passing day. A lot of investors arrive in Dubai with a clear perspective of the goals they want to achieve, but a lack of understanding of the economic dynamics of the country can cost profits in the long run. You can sit down with us at WolfDocs since one of our goals is to provide best business setup consulting service in Dubai.
We can begin our business relation right away by offering a series of tidbits you need to know to make your way in the market of the country.
There are two basic economic sectors in Dubai as well as all over the UAE: the onshore and offshore sectors. Each one of these offers a different set of advantages depending on the type of business you are looking to set up.
WolfDocs – Leading Business Setup Consultant in Dubai – Whether is a freezone company, a mainland company, or an offshore company registration, we at WolfDocs are ready to assist you.
Why work with us
Your one stop solution for all your company needs
We have an efficient team of workers that is going to use their combined minds for a greater purpose, that of which would be helping you with your business needs.
New business setup in Dubai call for a lot of different planning requirements, all of which might not be that obvious to you. Working with WolfDocs, you will be able to efficiently plan out a strategy.
If you do not want to worry about the business setup process and leave it in the hands of professionals, WolfDocs would be the perfect company to turn towards.
Not only are we efficient, but we have got the experience necessary in order to setup some of the more "complicated" business structure.
Let's take a look at some of the process we can help you with so you can setup your business in Dubai:
According to the Department of Economic Development of Dubai (DED), there are close to 2,100 economic activities open to foreign investors. Every single one of them has their unique set of rules and regulations to function, the most notable of them being the need to procure a license to perform the economic activity of your choice. At WolfDocs, we can help you figure out the best course of action for your investment in accordance with your personal interests.
The location and the type of business you are creating will determine the legal form of it. Currently, the options available to foreigner investors according to the DED are a joint liability company, a simple commanding company, a limited liability company, a public joint stock company, or a private one.
While there are other options, right now these seem to be the more approachable ones, but we can manage to best set-up according to the type of business you are bringing to the nation.
Registering a trade name is one of the most important parts of the process and the feature that will make your business distinguishable from others. We can assist in the process of making your trade name compliant with DED regulations (picking an option that is morally acceptable to the country's sense of order, make it unique and compatible with the economic activity you wish to engage, and it should avoid polemic topics such as religion or outlaws organisations)
If you are getting involved in a capital association, we will guide you as you create the registry document or memorandum that establishes the minimum shares of every participant in your business as well as the money allocated to create the operation. By doing this, you'll be legally covered if one of the participants decided to back down from the deal by setting a penalty fee.
When the legal procedures are done and ready, you need to pick the physical location of your business. The business district of Dubai is full of offerings suited to every type of budget. At WolfDocs we have experience when it comes to advising preferred location for your operation. We can also handle all aspects related to EJARI attestation.
Whatever is the nature of your business, once you have figured out what you are intent on doing you can even apply for more than one type of visa based on your needs related to business or if you have a family that moves around with you?
You will be guided to every step of the way
At WolfDocs, we are encouraged to think outside of the box and to avoid comfort zones with the foresight that a well-placed investment can bring the best profits to our clients according to their expectations.
Our professional team is willing to work with your ideas and make them better as long as you are ready to take action and do what needs to be done to earn your spot in the competitive business world of Dubai.

Lantmännen Unibake visits pumpkin seed suppliers in Inner Mongolia to listen, learn and audit
Pumpkin seeds are a tasty and nutritious ingredient in rye bread and other bread products. A long supply chain can be a challenge, though, when ensuring a high standard of food safety and acceptable working conditions during production.
This is why we make an effort at Lantmännen Unibake to visit the source of key ingredients. In the case of pumpkin seeds, that means visiting Inner Mongolia in China – one of the world's biggest pumpkin-growing regions.
Unibake buys pumpkin seeds from suppliers that import the seeds from China. The pumpkins themselves grow on smallholder farms that deliver the seeds to collectors for transport to processing plants.
Quality, food safety and working conditions
When Jacob Bielefeldt travelled to Inner Mongolia in his capacity as ingredients category manager, his goal was to follow the journey from harvest to processing and participate in audits of two processing plants.
"Both the plants we visited are BRC certified. Our main focus was to gain insights into how they fulfil BRC requirements for quality and food safety and to conduct our own Supplier Code of Code audits on site. We were particularly interested at looking into working conditions," he says.
Good and safe working conditions are a central requirement of the Lantmännen Supplier Code of Conduct, which follows the principles of the UN Global Compact and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
The ideal pumpkin climate
With 280 days of sunshine a year and a dry, continental climate, Inner Mongolia is ideal for pumpkin growing. On the family-owned farms, the workers sow the pumpkin seeds in May. Each small field produces 300kg on average – with around 250 seeds in every pumpkin. The pumpkin flesh is left on the fields as fertiliser during the September harvest.
At the processing plant, the seeds are washed, de-hulled, sorted and sterilised prior to packing.
Valuable on-site dialogue
"The working culture in Inner Mongolia is different to ours in Northern Europe. The audits gave us a good opportunity to review how these two suppliers approach matters such as health and safety, work environment, social conditions and working hours," Jacob states.
During the audits, the suppliers showed clear interest in learning more about the Lantmännen Supplier Code of Conduct and were keen to take corrective actions where necessary.
Jacob looks back on a trip that highlighted the value of close supplier relationships from beginning to end of the value chain.
These visits are a strong learning experience for us as they help us continuously improve the way we work internally with sourcing at Unibake and how we work with suppliers.

As a Web Developer, these tips are vital in any point of your career
Custom web development can be quite the challenge so utilizing every aspect, every tool and every trick available will out you at an advantage above everyone else. Use these tricks to further yourself as a web developer.
The Font-Display Technique
With this, you can prevent your web pages from flashing text once the fonts load. It helps you to control the fonts on your pages.
Check what other websites are on the exact same server as you. This is typically used by hackers to get through neighboring websites.
SQL Data Security Technique 1
TDE, or Transparent Data Encryption encrypts backups and files, not all the values in the tables
SQL Data Security Technique 2
In order to encrypt all column's values, right click on the table.
Utilize Smidge, not Client Dependency.
Smidge definitely does a more efficient job compared to Client Dependency. It also offers additional features.
Models Builder API
Make sure to use this with Models Builder's custom tool. This allows users to keep their models in separate libraries.
What is the algorithmic concept? It's all about finding image width values that provides a crucial decrease in file sizes. Different photos are analyzed to look for good breakpoints, instead of producing all possible photo resolutions.
Image Contrast Technique
Remove image contrast before saving it in your system. Then, once you save it, reapply the contrast through CSS. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference. This can save you tons of bandwidth and disk space.
Image pixels trick
How to increase pixel size? Save the photo in zero percent quality, and then display it at half its size. The result would be a much smaller photo disk, and the difference is not really noticeable.
This service utilizes AI to improve low-quality images photos.

Three decades ago there used to be Nintendo video games that children loved playing. One such kid got a Nintendo as birthday gift from his parents when he was around five years old. He was probably in his first grade when he started renting out these video games for $1 to classmates. That landed him up in the principal's office. In the bigger scheme of things, it revealed a talent that would later become his career – buying and selling.
The child we are referring to is Charlie Chanaratsopon, founder of Charming Charlie – a US-based contemporary jewellery and accessories brand for women having a 385-plus store network – 370 in the US and Canada and 15 internationally – including the Middle East and the Philippines.
In a conversation with Rupkatha Bhowmick, Chanaratsopon says he was never cut out to be a professional. He always liked the idea of buying and selling and quite obviously decided to become an entrepreneur.
"I was interested in buying and selling things since the time I was five. I had this constant urge to do business. As the years went by I got keener to buy and sell more things, which eventually led me to set up my own business. I self-funded Charming Charlie although today we have partners from two different groups. It took us about four years to find our investors. Setting up your own business isn't easy. Almost 97% of start-ups fail to make a mark. But you can't be afraid of failure," he shares.

Super Ways To Rebuild Your Credit Score Today
Rebuild Your Credit Score: You can fix your credit to cause more opportunities to open to you. Use the following advice to help you improve your credit correctly.
If you have a card that carries a balance of over 50% of the limit, then pay them down until they are below 50% utilization.
You will be able to buy a mortgage if you have a high credit score. Making regular mortgage payments promptly helps raise your credit score even more. This will also be useful if you need to borrow money.
You can lower your debt by refusing to acknowledge the part of your debt that has been accrued by significantly high-interest rates if you are being charged more than you should be. Creditors are skirting aspects of the law when they hit you exorbitant interest rates. You did sign a contract saying that agrees you will pay off all interests as well as the debt. As such, You need to be able to prove the interest rate charged exceeded your lenders.
You need to work with your creditors when you have credit cards. This will help you to make sure to keep your debt and keep you from getting even further behind.
Be very wary of programs that can get you in legal trouble. There are scams all over the web that teach you to get a brand new credit file. Do not attempt this can get you will not be able to avoid getting caught. You could end up in jail time.
Dispute every error you find on your credit reports.
Do not spend beyond your means. You will have to change the way you think to do this regard. In the not too distant past, people are using credit cards to buy things they want, but now the economy is paying the price of those days. Be honest with yourself about what you can afford.
If you are having problems retaining control of your charge habits, have your credit cards merged into one single account. You should arrange to make payments or make a balance transfer balances to your open account. This will let you pay off one credit card bill rather than many smaller ones.
Do everything possible to avoid filing bankruptcy. This negative mark will have damaging consequences to your credit score for ten years. It might seem like a good thing but in the line.
Doing this will ensure a solid credit score. Late payments are reported to all credit reports and will significantly decrease your chances of getting loans or a loan.
Lowering the balances on any currently revolving accounts can help you to get a better credit score. You can up your score by just keeping your balances lower.
The most it will only draw more attention to the bad aspects of the report.
Debt collectors are an intimidating and stressful part of dealing with the bad credit crisis. These letters may prevent collection agencies from making phone calls, but they don't erase liability for the debt itself.
Make a definite plan or program to pay past due and collection agencies.
Be sure to document all information if a bill collector is illegal. You should be aware of the laws that safeguard consumers' rights as a consumer.
Creditors look at your debt versus your income. You will be viewed as a bad credit risk if your mortgage is too much for your income. It's not easy for most people to immediately pay the debt off, so you need to come up with a plan and not deviate from it.
Repairing Your Credit
The first step to repairing your credit is to make a plan to begin to pay any outstanding debt. Existing debt lowers your credit rating and can be bad to have. Your credit score will be improved if you can make yourself debt-free.
Investigate debt consolidation and see if it's an option that can help you improve your credit rating. This lets you put all of your debt under one manageable payment amount. Make sure you know the specific details of any consolidation loan properly to ensure that it is your best option.
Look at your credit report to make sure that the discrepancies are no errors. There could be issues on your credit report that were made in the report. If you can prove that a given difference is invalid, you should submit a credit dispute to the institution that gave you a bad mark on your report.
Keeping your accounts in good standing is a signal of responsibility to any potential lenders.
Try to work with the collection agencies.
For example, being a few hundred dollars under your limit can still hurt your credit score, even if you make your payments on time.
While you are working on rebuilding your credit, look to get multiple credit types. A variety of credit types determines your credit score.
This will help you raise your credit score and also show that you are taking responsibility for your credit.
If your credit score isn't as high as you would like it? Ask your bank or credit card issuer to lower your credit limit. You do not want to reduce your credit limit to the point that your current balance nearly maxes it out.
Turn a negative into a positive. Repairing your credit standing is not impossible, although it will take some discipline and patience. You can take steps entirely free with acceptable research on fixing your credit. These tips can make it possible for you to improve your credit effectively.

How to learn how to fly a drone
OK, so you now have a drone and have started to ask yourself the "How to learn how to fly a drone?" question. You may want to improve your flight skills in a structured fashion, purely because you want to minimise the chances of crashing and destroying your precious toy. You might even perhaps aspire to a professional career in drones.
Whatever the reason, chances are that you realise the importance of being good at flying your drone.
There are many resources dealing with the ground training and testing content required by the various aviation authorities. A few of them are quality training institutions, like ABJ Drone Academy who offers a variety of ground and air training courses.
However, you'll find very little on the Internet about drone flying improvement skills, maybe because practical flight skill tests are not a common prerequisite for obtaining your drone licence yet.
Our basic flight skills training syllabus was compiled by a former military and commercial flight instructor on both fixed wing aeroplanes and helicopters. It was designed according to modern training and education principles and cover the basic, intermediate and advanced aspects of drone flying skills development. Keep on reading to find out how you can obtain a FREE copy of the initial lessons.
Assumed prior knowledge
It is assumed that you have adequate knowledge about the regulation, weather, drone controls, safety and other theoretical aspects of drone flying. This syllabus focuses on the actual drone flying skills training which can be used when learning to fly quadcopters and hexacopters. It is intended for PRIVATE USE ONLY and all rights are reserved.
In particular, it is assumed that you are fully conversant with your country's laws and regulations, and have passed your regulators prescribed theory test. This is necessary because you might unintentionally commit an infringement of the regulation when starting to fly.
Buy a simulator first or not?
Yes, you don't have to risk your expensive toy on your first flight. There are many simulation options available ranging from free online stuff to expensive (and very realistic) 3D simulation with controllers.
Free online software- the main problem is that you do not get the realistic feel from operating a realistic controller. As old fashioned as this might sound, I strongly believe that good "stick-and-rudder" skills is what you are after (that is precisely why you are reading my article!) Not recommended.
Purchased software with a controller- These are widely available. For around $30, you will get good value for money, and guaranteed entertainment for yourself and the kids that have much more educational value than Pokemon!
However, for the same price you can buy a cheap drone with a remote controller which can be tossed if it breaks. Many of them have GPS altitude hold and headless mode, which are the essential features of a training drone. Personally, I'd go this route and buy a Potensic A20 RC Nano Quadcopter featured here:
Selection of a training site
It is specifically important to know the rules when selecting your training site, because the wrong choice might result in a hefty fine. When selecting a site, please keep the following principles, some of which are widely applied in the regulation, in mind:
- A large open area, at least the size of a football field, free of any obstacles. The surface should be level and the grass cut short. This is VERY important in order to prevent damage to the propellers on landing.
- Carefully observe your country's rules regarding the proximity of airports and helipads. In most cases, a 5km buffer applies, although in a few cases the buffer is 10 km (eg South Africa). Also, the regulation is evolving since the 2018 Gatwick event, and take note of extra provision built into the regulation to provide for extended runway centreline clearance.
- Controlled airspace should be avoided, and flights may not exceed specific heights (400' in most countries).
- You cannot fly where people are gathered, for example at sports events. Remain at least 50m clear of people or private property. This principle may well rule out your local family leisure park.
In summary, the best choice of a location would be large and open with no obstacles. A football field is well suited, but do make sure that you strictly obey the local drone laws. Find summaries of the drone laws in the US, the UK, and Australia elsewhere on our website (click to view).
Ensure that you have several batteries available as the sessions will generally exceed average battery charge endurance. Remain observant of the charge state of the batteries while working through the syllabus and make sure you land to replace the battery with a charged one in time.
Also remember to replace the batteries in your controller occasionally! Transmission distance will be reduced if the batteries falter. All experienced drone flyers that I know, have a battery charge tester in their supplies box and check the state of their batteries as a habit. These testers are small and cheap and can easily be obtained from Amazon. Make sure you choose one that is suitable for your needs!
"Like batteries, you also need to be charged and alert while flying your drone to avoid mistakes which might be costly or even dangerous. Do NOT fly too much on one day. Your concentration might falter after a while with disappointing results!"
The Training
The lessons are generally last 45-60 min. This does not sound like much, but it becomes an entirely different matter when you have to fully concentrate throughout the session. If you start feeling your concentration wander, the best thing to do is land immediately and take a break or pack up for the day.
You'll need some sort of a landing pad. Any flat object that would prevent dust from getting blown up, and is a little bit heavy to provide a stable surface would suffice. My one mate uses his wife's breadboard from the kitchen. Else, you can get a proper one through Amazon (click the pic).
You also need markers to help you aim at certain target spots. Low sports marking cones like these featured below, work well and are available cheaply from Amazon.
Onto the real thing!
Our drone flying self-training syllabus was developed by a qualified military and commercial flight instructor. It consists of 14 lessons grouped into 2 phases: Flight skills (both Basic and Advanced) and Applied Skills (Photographic, Sling, Hot&High; and Survey Patterns).
Once ready, with or without simulation training, we invite you to sign up to our email list and receive a FREE copy of the first four lessons from our 14-lesson drone training syllabus. It was designed by a qualified military and commercial flight instructor. This guide will show you how to learn how to fly a drone on your own easily, and will cover:
- Basic knowledge of the drone components and controller face panel
- Power up, Take-off, Hovering and Landing
- Position change (tied heading)
Your feedback and comments will be much appreciated, especially once you have completed the four lessons.

And we're back at Merrimack Valley Golf Club for Stacy & John's wedding ceremony pictures. If you missed part I you can catch up **here**. I love the little look between Stacy and her dad before they walked down the aisle and John's expression. Stacy and John also wrote their own vows and I don't think there was a dry eye in the house.
Stacy and John's friends and family were so ridiculously happy for the newlyweds they nearly squeezed them to death:
Stacy and John then got to enjoy cocktail hour, John couldn't resist kissing his wife :) before they went out to mingle with their guests with the lounge and the deck with views over the golf course:
This was the first wedding I've photographed at Merrimack Valley Golf Club and I'll be back there in December (Hey Heather & Justin!) The Equinox ballroom is a really great wedding venue space as it's essentially a blank canvas. There is no crazy pattern carpet or brightly colored drapes so it works with all color themes.
Stacy's sister Kaitlin incorporated one of the pictures we took at the engagement session into a guest sign-in frame:
Stacy and John both work in the restaurant industry and they're big wine buffs so they had a wine theme for their tables
For the entrances, Stacy and John's friends formed a human tunnel for them to run through before they did their first dance as husband and wife:
Happy and REALLY emotional toasts:
Stacy danced with her dad and then pulled in her sister Kaitlin and the three of them danced in the biggest hug-dance I've ever seen. John danced with his Mom with lots of hugs and smiles :)
We snuck out for literally 60 seconds of nightime pictures and then the dancefloor was well and truly opened!!!
I'll leave you with one last picture of Stacy and John holding on tight to one another through the night.
Oh you guys....! How much fun was that? I am SO happy you chose me as your wedding photographer and I got to witness and document how ridiculously perfect you are as a couple. It was an honor! Wishing you a lifetime of love, laughter, health, happiness, Amarone wine and Jimmy Choos (the last item is for Stacy only).

Pulling it all together: Trauma-Informed Care
This month we have spent time exploring the basics of becoming trauma-informed. We've examined how mindfulness, neuroplasticity, and resiliency help form the tripod on which we begin to understand and defeat the consequences of surviving trauma.
In this article, we are going to explore together how all the writings we've published this month fit into the trauma-informed care model. We also shall look at how finding a therapist who is trauma-informed can enhance your healing.
A Brief Recap of Mindfulness, Neuroplasticity, and Resiliency
Mindfulness is the practice of remaining in the "now" and allowing yourself to feel emotions without judging them. Mindfulness also involves paying attention to your surroundings and enjoying the sensation of being safe and happy.
Although some compare mindfulness to meditation, it isn't quite the same. While meditation is often used to practice mindfulness, it isn't necessary to sit in the lotus position to do be mindful. Instead, mindfulness comes when we walk in the woods or on the beach, or by merely retreating into our homes to think about that for which we are grateful.
Neuroplasticity is the ability of the human brain to make new pathways and memories based on new knowledge. Children are born equipped with billions of brains cells (neurons). Neuroplasticity allows them to make new connections (synapses) based on what they need via learning information from caregivers and their environment. At different stages in their brain development prune away any links between the brain cells (synapses) that they are using.
Because of neuroplasticity, even adults who have pruned away billions of synapses are also capable of making new ones through mindfulness and other types of learning activities.
A Brief Recap of the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study
I realize we have covered the ACEs study in depth in other pieces, but a reminder of this groundbreaking study is essential. Knowing the difference changes the way mental health professionals see adverse childhood experiences.
In the years 1995-1997, a new study was conducted by the Kaiser Permanente, an American organization in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
The study came on the heels of Permanente's obesity clinic experiencing a 50% drop out rate but was successful at losing weight in their program. Vincente Felitti, the head of Permanente's Department of Preventative Medicine, conducted interviews with those who had left the program trying to ascertain the cause of the drop-out rate. Felitti conducted face-to-face interviews with 286 people and found a majority he spoke with had experienced childhood sexual abuse.
So, in 1995, Felitti and Robert Anda from the CDC surveyed 17,000 volunteers and their findings both alarmed and changed the treatment of adverse childhood experiences.
Felitti and Anda asked the 17,337 participants, half of which were female, about their experiences with:
- Physical abuse
• Sexual abuse
• Emotional abuse
• Physical neglect
• Emotional neglect
• Exposure to domestic violence
• Household substance abuse issues
• Household mental health issues
• Parental separation or divorce
• An incarcerated household member
The findings of the two-year study were astonishing.
According to the United States Substance Abuse and Mental Health Association (SAMSHA), the ACEs study found the following:
- Adverse childhood experiences are universal. For example, 28% of study participants reported physical abuse and 21% said sexual abuse. Many also reported experiencing a divorce or parental separation or having a parent with a mental and substance use disorder.
- Childhood experiences often occur together. Almost 40% of the original sample reported two or more ACEs and 12.5% experienced four or more. Because ACEs occur in clusters, many subsequent studies have examined the cumulative effects of ACEs rather than the individual effects of each.
- Adverse childhood experiences have a dose-response relationship with many health problems.
- As researchers followed participants over time, they discovered that a person's cumulative ACEs score has a strong, graded relationship to numerous health, social, and behavioral problems throughout their lifespan, including substance use disorders. Furthermore, many issues related to ACEs tend to be comorbid, or co-occurring.
Further, approximately two-thirds of the subjects of the study experienced at least one adverse childhood experience, 87% reported experiencing additional ACEs.
Compared to an adverse childhood score of zero, having four ACEs created a 700% greater incidence of alcoholism, doubled the risk of having cancer, and increased one's developing emphysema by 400%. An ACEs score above six created a 3000% increase in attempts to die by suicide.
The people who volunteered for the ACEs study done by Felitti and Anda were followed and are still being monitored to determine how they fared after the original research.
The researchers found that within a decade 1,539 of participants of the original ACEs study had died. They also found that the rest of the subjects with an ACE score of six or higher, when compared to a control group, had a risk of death 1.5 times greater than the control group had had zero ACEs.
On average, the people from the original ACEs study had lost twenty years from their lives, dying at around 61 years, much less than the average age of death for the control group of 79 years.
The Importance of Building Resilience
We investigated together in the last article of this series the importance of building resilience. If you remember, we found that resiliency isn't something humans are born with but rather something we learn from our experiences with our caregivers in childhood.
Deprived of the teaching of resiliency in childhood, we grow up to be adults who are confused and overwhelmed by the events we encounter in our lives.
Developing resilience would seem to some to be an easy goal to achieve, however, that is not the case. One does not establish a resilient lifestyle by accident. It takes hard work and determination to overcome the trap of feeling such self-pity for oneself that we become stuck in the quagmire of our traumatic history.
In 1889, a French psychologist, philosopher, and psychotherapist who worked in the areas of dissociation and traumatic memory. In the book
The book, The Psychology of Pierre Janet, written by Elton Mayo in 1952, Janet is said to have discovered that complex trauma is not reconcilable in the psychic apparatus of children, and this lack of ability to integrate the traumatic experience is believed to be the basis of psychiatric disorders in adults.
Janet was saying that because children were not capable of understanding or reconciling what was happening to them during traumatic events. This lack of perception meant they could not place the trauma they were surviving into context in their mental picture of themselves.
These children became faced with the decision of accepting that the very people who were supposed to care and nurture them were harming them or pushing it away and not acknowledging what was happening.
The result of this irreconcilable conundrum sets children up for a lifetime of dissociation, mental health problems, and ill physical health.
For children to acknowledge the people they love are dangerous is akin to emotional suicide.
As children, we faced with histories of events that, because of their traumatic and painful nature, we kept secret. This secrecy was to become the basis for the inability to cope later in life.
The Power of Trauma-Informed Care
Have you ever wondered why therapy could be such a powerful force for healing? What in psychotherapy, where we engage with another human being, aids us in healing from traumatic childhoods full of adverse childhood experiences?
There are many answers to that question, but one of the most important and influential aspects of therapy is telling the story we were forbidden to tell. In telling our secrets, we remove the power from those who harmed us and put back where it belongs, to the survivor.
A therapist who is trauma-informed understands the power of breaking the silence and telling secrets. However, they face a hard task in that they must be cautious so that their care isn't harmful, but helpful.
We touched on the tenants of trauma-informed care briefly in the first article of this series. However, the factors that come into play when working with a trauma-informed therapist are essential to understanding clients with CPTSD.
According to SAMHSA, there are four principles that a trauma-informed therapist should follow that outline the trauma-informed approach:
Realizes the widespread impact of trauma and understands potential paths for recovery;
Recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families, staff, and others involved with the system;
Responds by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices; and
Seeks to resist re-traumatization actively.
The trauma-informed approach to help aids therapists form the right treatment the individuals who seek their help.
All the principles are to guide the trauma-informed therapist in finding the right treatment plan to help a client who comes to them with complex trauma.
The Six Key Principles of Trauma-Informed Care
Trauma-informed care involves the delivery of help to a traumatized client through an increased understanding of the impact of complex trauma on an individual's life.
Since therapists cannot tell at first glance who is living with the effects of complex trauma and who isn't, these six key principals should apply to everyone who comes into their office.
It is only by following the six key principals that a therapist can avoid re-traumatizing their new client.
The six key principles of trauma-informed care are as follows:
Trustworthiness and Transparency
Peer support
Collaboration and mutuality
Empowerment, voice, and choice
Cultural, Historical, and Gender Issues
SAMHSA offers a beautiful explanation for each principle:
Safety – The Therapist makes sure their client feels physically and psychologically safe.
Trustworthiness and transparency – The therapist ensure all decisions are conducted with transparency and the goal of building and maintaining trust between the client and their family members if any are involved.
Peer support and mutual self-help – These are integral to the healing of the client and is understood as a critical vehicle for building trust, establishing safety, and empowerment. The therapist will attempt to help their traumatized client seek either group therapy inside the clinical setting or outside such 12-step groups.
Collaboration and mutuality – There are true partnering and leveling of power differences between therapist-client. There is recognition that healing happens in relationships and the meaningful sharing of power and decision-making.
The therapist recognizes that everyone has a role to play in a trauma-informed approach.
Empowerment, voice, and choice – Throughout treatment, individuals' strengths are recognized, built on, and validated and new skills developed as necessary.
The therapist aims to strengthen the clients', and family members' experience of choice and recognize that every person's experience is unique and requires an individualized approach.
This approach includes a belief in resilience and in the ability of individuals and communities to heal and promote recovery from trauma.
This approach builds on what clients have to offer, rather than responding to perceived deficits.
Safety. Major developmental theorists such as Abra- ham Maslow, Erik Erikson, and John Bowlby saw security as a core developmental need of infants. Maslow numbered it among the primary survival needs while Erikson understood that the first "psychosocial" crisis for any infant is the establishment of trust (based on a sense of being safe).
Cultural, historical, and gender issues – The trauma-informed therapist actively moves past cultural stereotypes and biases (e.g., based on race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, geography), offers gender-responsive services, leverages the healing value of traditional cultural connections, and recognizes and addresses historical trauma.
Trauma-Informed Care Isn't Only the Therapists Responsibility
From the moment you walk into your therapist's office for the first time until you leave them altogether, you accountable for how well you respond to their help.
Healing from complex trauma is NOT your therapist's responsibility, it is yours.
Granted, if the therapist you are seeing isn't well-trained, acts in an inappropriate manner isn't a good match, or is incapable of helping you then find another therapist that CAN help you.
There again, it is up to you to do what is right for you, NOT the therapist.
It is essential to do your part in your healing work by informing yourself of your diagnosis and remaining hopeful in the process of your recovery.
It is vital for you to tell your therapist about trauma symptoms that often accompany complex trauma, such as substance abuse, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. Your therapist cannot help you heal if you are not honest with them.
There is no sense sugar coating it, healing from complex trauma is a painful process. You will need a therapist who is trauma-informed and willing to stay with you while you grieve the childhood you never had and face the memories and reality that as your life.
However, a trauma-informed therapist needs to let the survivor know they are respected and remain as transparent as possible within the limits of the therapeutic environment.
The trauma-informed therapist needs to believe in your recovery and understand that the expectation for all their clients who are survivors of trauma is healing.
The therapist needs to remain hopeful and believe in their client's healing even if the client does not see it.

evening visitors
Whilst I'm in Oxford, I am spending my evenings in the Botanical Garden to make more recordings of the bats, and as such think that I am beginning to understand their behaviour a little more – not that this will necessarily be consistent throughout the season, but at least I have something to build on.
They appear to come out around 15 minutes after sunset, and in the area just above the Spring Walk but over the River Cherwell – one or two first of all, then three or four, but probably no more than about eight at peak. These bats fly mostly between three and five metres above the water, swooping to catch the insects.
Then, as the evening goes on, there is more bat activity further down the river towards the lower end of the Spring Walk and the greenhouses. The bats that first appear here skim along the surface of the water – two or three at first, and then eventually joined by the swooping bats as mentioned above.
Within about three-quarters of an hour this first rush of bat activity appears to die down and then the bat visits become more occasional, and also involving different species. Over the next weeks or so I will have a listen to my recordings and see if I can use these to identify what's visiting, and when.

"I think about ceramic forms in terms of space and light, weight, scale and surface, inside and out, but also of ideas, use and value."
Hand thrown and sometimes hand finished using porcelain, stoneware and earthenware bodies, Tanya uses the vessel as a way to express a quality of strong, quiet permanence using simple, elemental and essentially abstract forms. .
Tanya is interested in the forms relationships to each other and the architectural spaces they inhabit.

First step is to ensure that you require a need for a sound card as nearly all moddern computers have sound cards built into their motherboards. To check if you have a sound card you need to look fo the speaker jacks on the back of the computer. But sound cards are only necessary if the user needs audiophiles and recording studio computers or if older computers do not have it built into them.
Step two, power doen the computer and remove all of the cables. Place the compter on its side on a table with the ports on the back closest to the table. The ports are connected to the motherboard meaning that having them close to the table will allow the user to get to the motherboard when the case is opened.
Step three, remove the side pannel on the computer. Most new cases these days have thumbscrews buy the user may require a Phillips head screwdriver as the screws run down the back of the computer. Remove the pannel on the opposite side of the motherboard and set it up.
Step four, make sure that you have grounded yourself, do nottoch metal as you may discharge any eletrostatic buildup and this may leed you to run the risk of damaging the components.
Step 5, clean the dust by using comprested air.
(The sound card is the black card see in the image above)
Step 6, to install the sound card locate the PCI slots, they are typically white and there may be 1-5 of them. These slots line up along side removable panels that are on the back of the case.
Step 7, remove any existing sound card. If you are removing an old card first then having the two cards installed at the same time will lead to hardware problems. Remove the screws securing the card to the case and pull the card directly out of the slot.
Step 8, insert the new card, make sure that the notches in the slots line up with the card pressing them firmly stright down. Don't force the card into the slots and ensure that the ports on the back line up with the bay opening.
Step 9, secure the card with screws by putting one into the metal tab and this will secure the card to the computers chassis.
Step 10, connect the sound card to the CD/Drive. Some older types may connect to the CD/DVD drive with a smaller cable.
Step 11, Close the case by returning the side pannel to the computer and securing it. Plug the cables back in.

Taking A Look Back at Major Market Milestones of First Quarter 2018
The first quarter of 2018 was anything but a continuation of the market behavior we saw in 2017. After historically low volatility and positive total returns for each of the 12 months in 2017, January continued the trend of higher markets with nearly historic lows in volatility. Then came February. Registering volatility levels below 15 for the month of January, the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) spiked 116% on February 5, the highest daily move ever recorded. On that same day, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 1,175 points, or -4.6%, its largest single-day point decline in history and the worst day performance-wise since August 2011. The volatility spike was so violent that it even resulted in the shutdown of a widely-traded inverse VIX product.
The natural questions that arise are: what caused this spike in volatility and why did we continue to see higher levels throughout the rest of the quarter? Will it remain this way? The short answer to the last question is almost certainly yes. The volatility levels we saw in 2017 were historically low and a return to a higher baseline would be typical in a period of higher rates. Higher volatility is also likely here to stay as fundamentals are starting to change for the first time in quite some time on a broader, macroeconomic level.
Returning to the VIX, it is important to remember that while it is colloquially known as the "Fear Index," a more appropriate moniker might be the "Uncertainty Index." Its increase reflected what would be normal given the increased level of uncertainty that the recent economic data is introducing into the markets as it is starting to show cracks. Add to that the rhetoric coming from the White House on tariffs, resulting fears of a trade war, and uncertainty about how many more times the FOMC will hike interest rates this year (they have already hiked once as expected), and we're in a prime environment for increased volatility that did not show any signs of relenting towards the end of the quarter.

Isabella Fabiano '20
December 21, 2018.
Waking up throughout December is usually quite unbearable for someone who has lived in the North all of their life. Usually, I would recommend blasting the heat and bundling up in the coziest blankets in the house. However, I didn't completely think through how wonderful it was going to be to have summer year round. Next week though, I head back up to New England to spend the holidays with my family and briefly reunite with some good friends. As I pack up to leave the warmth, I came to the realization how odd it is going to be for me to not be on a regular schedule for the next ten days. Having a daily routine of learning and working with horses has really emphasized to me how fortunate I am for being granted a learning experience such as this.
Florida has been treating me well. Not only has it been a satisfying temperature adjustment, but also treating me to so many unique opportunities. I have had quite a few of informative peers around me teaching me new techniques and ways of working with horses and management. The barn I am currently learning at, in Ocala, is operated by a profession horseman. In this facility there are several different sorts of job positions taught. As example, a majority of the horses are sale horses, which means we are required to care for them, ride them daily, and try to present them the best we can to encourage other equestrians to purchase them. In that whole process we're taught the business part of horse marketing. However, we're also taught from the very beginning of horse care, from grooming, feeding, treating wounds, to even learning how to train the horses.
Just like any other job or student position you take in, you are responsible for your own actions. Unlike most jobs though, the equine production also requires you to be responsible for several valuable animals. After learning down here for a few months now I have come to realize that the most crucial aspect of the responsibility is owning it and doing what you believe is right every single time. What has actually been my biggest struggle, is my age. I'm sixteen years old and I have work in Ocala with several other girls my age, but I have noticed the difference between how we're treated versus the majority. It actually shows me how serious this job actually is. At first I was offended by what was expected of me, but it eventually took a good while for me to see how several things were more beneficial for me to watch and learn from instead of taking action.

With the arrival of winter and Christmas celebrations, these coming days will be a great excuse to meet and reunite with friends and family. The little ones will enjoy the exciting hope that Santa Claus or the Three Wise Men will bring them everything they so much desire. And the grown-ups will do the impossible so that the magic of these holidays is prolonged as much as possible and the Christmas spirit invades us for a few days.
As the saying goes: at Christmas all roads lead home. And we all know that our place is where we feel the warmth and welcome of those who love us and we love, where we share with all of them our desires and the desire to have a good time. Tradition makes us gather around a good table where we can taste great food, enjoy long after-dinner meals and, of course, toast so that the future will bring us the best.
And so that these moments are so magical and warm, this month we have prepared a cocktail that contains all the necessary elements to create this atmosphere. As you will see, its colors are very Christmas, not missing the red, green and white. The red of the strawberries and the white of the cream and chocolate. And the essential sweetness of vanilla for these dates. If you pay attention you will see the Christmas hat (inverted, resting).
It's a very sweety drink and very easy to drink. You're going to love it!
On these important dates we want you to feel at Torre Rosa as if it were your home, that's why we have created this cocktail with all our love and dedication.
May you have very happy holidays and above all share them with your loved ones.
3 cl of vodka
3 cl of strawberry liqueur
3 cl vanilla liqueur
3 cl cream
1 cl white chocolate liqueur
Decoration: 2 leaves of mint and gooseberry

Once you have your ballot set up, the next step is to create pages. If you are creating a ballot with multiple pages, it is best to name each page as it corresponds to the questions on that page. For example, if you have one page for the President of the Board of Directors, you might want to name your page "Board - President."
After you create a ballot, Informz automatically navigates to the Add New Page to Ballot page.
Here, you'll enter the following information:
- Page Name: Enter a page name for your ballot page. As above, this should help you identify which questions are available on this page.
- Page Header: This is the title of the header for the ballot page. It can be stylized using the HTML editor or can be left blank if you do not need a header.
Click Update to finish.
Once you have your page in place, you can add as many questions as necessary to that page. Note that pages are a great way to organize similar questions.
Set the Stage with Pages
Once you have your page (or pages!) ready, it's time to add questions to your ballot. As above, remember that you can add multiple questions to a single ballot page.

Imbolc, celebrating lengthening days
This is the scaredeer which Bruce made to hamper the deer eating the berry bushes. Now he snow shoes to it to see the gathering of deer tracks at its base and knows the deer have found a friend in this form instead of fear. If we could only find friends instead of fear in this world, we might have more peace. I am saddened by the conflict and also curious that someone 82 would choose heading a country rather than retirement. There are so many things I don't understand.
The sale at Artisans Hand has finished. Sunday we took it down and put up a fresh display of glorious color. I will be posting a hand painted silk scarf which will be "up for grabs", drawing from those comments made responding to its post. Check back in later. Stay warm and dry and celebrate the light.

I love the story of the scaredeer and how the deer have come, investigated, and made friends with it;the snow makes it look beautiful. I sure hope the deer don't decide to eat your berry bushes. The paintings look great; you're on a roll. And, what is Imbloc/Imbolc?

Hi Altoon, Imbolc is the Celtic name for the cross quarter celebration others refer to as candlemas and Ground Hog's Day. And those deer have been nibbling on the bushes especially the elderberry bushes, that's why we tried to scare them which did work for a while. Now food is scarce, so I can't blame them much....wish I could find more time for studio work, but paying skills have to take precedence, alas.

Hi! I am Seray, a designer and artist who is in love with fibers! As a multidisciplinary artist, I draw, paint, make sculptures and work with ceramics in addition to knitting and crocheting.
I started knitting and crocheting for 14 years ago. Coming from a family of knitters and crocheters (my mom, all my aunts and my grandma) I grew up tangled in yarn. Initially, I was reluctant to get involved. That all changed when I saw a pair of knitted design socks that I fell in love with. I couldn't resist the urge to knit a similar pair of socks for myself. Since then I haven't stopped knitting and experimenting with different kinds of fibers. I feel like knitting and crocheting are my superpowers and that I can create anything with yarn!
I lived in different countries until I settled down in beautiful Granada in Spain. Wherever I lived, fibers were my favorite means of meditation. Nothing compares to the sense of the bliss of being present in my cosy home with sticks and yarn.
I usually draw and design the pieces first, then proceed to knit them. But, I equally love creating pieces without thinking about the final product and experimenting with fiber.
The Artsy Clutch draws its inspiration from the 1980's contemporary art movement. Nowadays I am deeply inspired by the bold colors and the contemporary creations of that period.
I tried to keep the Artsy clutch as simple as possible for everyone to be able to enjoy it. The herringbone stitch, although not the simplest of all, creates an adorable chunky and firm fabric. Once you get into the rhythm of it, you will love how the piece finds its shape in your hands. It is my favorite stitch of all times and it is addictive.
Since I love ecological, raw and natural fibers I used a type of 100% raw natural cotton. I am in awe of how rigid, thick and pretty the pieces come out with this thick cotton yarn :)
This clutch is perfect for both casual and chic outfits, both for the sunny days and the breezy summer nights. You can combine it with any style of your choosing. I also find it very playful and abstract and love the feeling of it as I hold it in my hand.
I am so blessed to be a part of the Hook Nook Maker Community. I love how everyone is so supportive in the Hook Nook Team and I am so happy to be here with you all! Thank you very much for the opportunity to be a part of this beautiful community.
Hope you enjoy the pattern. A big hug to all!
- Color 1 (Cream): 250 gr. 100% Raw natural cotton string 3 mm. (I bought mine from a local ecological shop, but this type of cotton is really easy to find. It is sold also as macrame cotton rope. An example would be the one from Niroma Studio)
- Color 2 (Cobalt blue): 100 gr. 100% Raw cobalt blue cotton string 3 mm. (same material as above in color blue)
- Color 3 (Black): 20 gr. Black raffia yarn (mine is 100% recycled paper rope that I bought from a local recycled materials store)
- 4.00mm (US 6) straight or circular needles (I am using KnitPro Symfonie Interchangeable Circular Needles)
- 3.00mm (US 2.5) straight or circular needles (I am using KnitPro Karbonz Interchangeable Circular Needles)
- Yarn Needle
- Scissors
st(s) = stitch(es)
HB st(s) = herringbone stitch(es)
HB st(s) WS = herringbone stitch(es) wrong side
10 sts and 8 rows (with the 3 mm. cotton yarn) = 5 cm. x 5 cm.
14 sts and 10 rows (with the raffia yarn) = 5 cm. x 5 cm.
Finished dimensions: 25 cm. x 15 cm.
Herringbone stitch is worked right side and wrong side. Please refer to the resource to see how it is worked. The amount of the stitches are the total of the right side and the wrong side of the pattern.
If you are new to the herringbone stitch please see the resource videos below to help you
(Bind off technique starts at 3:34)
Piece 1 (Body of the Bag)
Part 1:
Cast on 60 sts with color 1 using the long tail cast on method with the 4.00mm (US 6) straight or circular needles.
Row 1 (right side): HB st(s) until the last stitch (60 sts)
Row 2 (wrong side): HB st(s) WS until the last stitch (60 sts)
Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until you have 34 rows.
Skip to color 2 and continue the same
Row 35 (right side): HB st(s) until the last stitch (60 sts)
Row 36 (wrong side): HB st(s) WS until the last stitch (60 sts)
Repeat Rows 35 and 36 until you have 40 rows in total
HB st Bind off
Part 2:
Now we are going to change the direction of the pattern by continuing to knit on the side of the first piece that we knitted.
Pick up 40 stitches along one edge of your work with the 3.00mm (US 2.5) straight or circular needles (it is easier to pick up stitches with finer needles, so feel free to use 2.00 mm. needles for this process if you have them.)
Along the side piece:
Continuing with your 40 picked sts:
Row 1: HB st(s) until the last stitch (40 sts)
Row 2 (wrong side): HB st(s) WS until the last stitch (40 sts)
Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until you have 10 rows in total.
HB st Bind off
Now you have the body of the bag
Piece 2 (Black Patch)
Cast on 26 sts with Color 3 using the long tail cast on method with the 3.00mm (US 2.5) straight or circular needles.
Row 1 (right side): HB st(s) until the last stitch (26 sts)
Row 2 (wrong side): HB st(s) WS until the last stitch (26 sts)
Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until you have 16 rows.
HB stitch bind off
Now you have your badge to sew onto the bag.
Fold the body of the bag leaving the part for the closure tongue and sew the sides together with Color 1 with the yarn needle.
Sew the patch on the left side of your bag, while keeping the tongue of the bag inside, as if you were making a sandwich.
Weave in all loose ends. Ready to go! Add snaps or other similar details if you would like the bag to shut close safer. You can also put your patch on other parts of the bag, feel free to make it smaller, bigger according to your personal preference!
I hope you love this pattern as much as I do. I had a great time designing and knitting it. I would love to see your progress, so if you feel like sharing it please use #artsyclutch and tag me @atelier_seray_asker (I would love to see your individual takes on the pattern!) . Feel free to check out my other wearable art pieces. I am currently working on new jewelery patterns for the summer which will be made available for free on my account soon!
A big thanks to Jessica and the THN team for the opportunity to be a part of this beautiful community. I feel so blessed to be a part of this lovely and inspirational bunch.
