Why the Enneagram - Part 2 - Christianity and the EnneagramWritten by Sam Drew
As I am a Christian, and I have been a pastor and leader in a number of churches, some friends who know that I teach about the Enneagram asked me to share my take on the Enneagram and Christianity.
You may or may not be aware that some Christian leaders have written articles against the Enneagram, discouraging their Christian readers from following Enneagram teaching. Here are a few articles along that line
And, just to balance things out, here are a few articles from Christian leaders more in favor of Enneagram teaching
- https://www.christianheadlines.com/columnists/guest-commentary/why-has-the-enneagram-become-so-popular-among-christians.html
- https://relevantmagazine.com/article/what-all-christians-need-to-know-about-the-enneagram/
- https://www.christianitytoday.com/pastors/2018/january-web-exclusives/enneagram-for-pastors.html
So, what's my take, how do I bring Christianity and The Enneagram together?
I start with the obvious fact that all human beings have an inner-life. I don't mean something mystical or magical by this, I simply mean that everyone has stuff going on inside that they don't show on the outside. Feelings, thoughts, sensations, memories, imagination, motivations, pain, sorrow, etc. These are all going on behind the scenes for everyone. And, while some of this certainly shows up for the camera, there is a lot that people will never know if they are not told. Plus, there is much going on in our inner-lives that we don't understand, some that we aren't aware of, and some don't acknowledge even to ourselves.
We all live a physical or external life which includes eating, sleeping, wearing clothes, interacting with people, interacting with our environment, and accomplishing jobs and tasks. But, at the same time that all this is going on, it is accompanied by inner experiences, conversations, reactions and responses to life. And, in reality, these are not two lives, but one life with different pieces, that, because of their nature, can be classified as more inward or more external. The is a lot of blurring and subjectivity between the inward and external, but it is still helpful to make this distinction because it is largely what happens in our inner-life that determines our true happiness, character, and maturity.
The Enneagram is focused on our inner-lives, not only our personalities, but our motivations, desires, joys, callings, fears, shame, anger, inner strengths and vulnerabilities, etc. The Enneagram diagram and the different pieces of each Enneagram type help us understand where we are at in our inner-lives. They give us a map and place us on it. It is not pinpoint accurate like a GPS location, we are still navigating by stars when it comes to our inner-lives, but the Enneagram provides us with the constellations and compass points to guide us. This description may make the Enneagram seem like a fortune teller, but it's important to remember that the "destinations" and "landscape" of the inner-life are concerned with character growth and personal development rather than particular circumstances or futures. The Enneagram helps us make more sense of our inner-lives and Enneagram teachings like awareness, being present, self-acceptance, balance, virtue and vice give us tools and direction toward more inner health.
Christianity and the Bible also place a lot of focus on our inner-lives, not just our eternal salvation. We find references to the inner-life all over the Bible. The name Israel means "he struggles with God." (Gen 32:28) Jesus rebukes the Pharisees for not cleaning their inner life as well as their outer. (Matthew 23:25-26) and Paul despairs over the conflicting motivations within him and their resulting behavior (Romans 7:14-25). These are just three of the thousands of scriptures relating to our inner joys, motivations, pains, struggles, fears, and growth. And, as with everything in the Bible, these scriptures need personal interpretation and personal context in order for us to bring them into our own lives. The Enneagram can help provide that personal interpretation and personal context for applying the Biblical teachings to our lives.
The scripture I mentioned above in Romans 7 is a perfect example of this. In this scripture Paul struggles with patterns of sin in his life when his heart's desire is to do good. Many Christians have experienced this along with the deliverance Paul proclaims in Jesus, only to find themselves right back in the pattern in a few days, months, or years. The Enneagram teachings on ways we think and feel in our various life survival strategies help us understand why we keep falling back into our old patterns and even help us catch ourselves in the act of doing it. This helps us to, eventually, let go of the patterns, truly abide in the deliverance of Jesus, and truly receive the teaching that comes next in Romans 8:1, "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus…"
The Enneagrams is not the be-all end-all in personal and spiritual growth, it's likely to be just one of many tools the Holy Spirit uses in our journey with and toward Christ, but, in my experience, it can be a very good and helpful tool.

The Women of Burn
Aug 01, 2017 08:30AM
By Jason Huddle
Think of boot camp, and young adults going through the rigorous disciplines of military training likely comes to mind.
Originating here in North Carolina, the rigors of that training have now come to the workout facility. Burn Boot Camp (BBC) has two locations in Cabarrus County – in Concord and Harrisburg – both owned by Mike Hartshorne. He also serves as a personal trainer at the Concord camp.
"This is a local franchise, from Huntersville," Hartshorne explains. "It started five and a half years ago and there are now 71 open in 17 or 18 states with 150 more locations projected."
It's one of those Cinderella stories. Burn Boot Camp founder, Devan Kline, grew up in a volatile home marred by alcoholism and domestic abuse. He was one of the lucky ones – strong enough to complete high school with honors and earning a scholarship to play baseball in college.
Morgan Stevens had been alongside Kline through those years, watching as he was drafted by the San Francisco Giants baseball club. Released three years later, Kline continued playing baseball, staying with host families across the U.S. and learning what a happy home is like.
When Stevens moved to Florida to start a career, Kline went with her. He initiated his own personal training career there with a program for women called Lightning 900. It was a hit and became the catalyst for Burn Boot Camp.
Ironically, Stevens earned a promotion that would take her to the Charlotte area. Kline sub-let a gym in Huntersville that gave way to Burn Boot Camp, the two got married, and they're now proud "parents" of a two-year-old national fitness franchise.
Geared specifically toward women, the company originated with a mantra of it's okay for women to put themselves first. That positive personal effort trickles down into all aspects of their lives.
"Women are the staple of our community. They maintain the household, work and have children," Hartshorne adds. "Women are amazing at camaraderie and positive encouragement. Someone will always be high-fiving you here, there's no competition."
Webmd.com describes a burn boot camp: "This program strings together circuits of intense exercises, which you do for about 30 to 60 seconds each, pausing for only a few seconds between
exercises. The idea is to build strength and endurance. Boot camp programs may be so popular because they work every muscle group, you can do them anywhere and they don't require any equipment."
"We don't have heavy weights or rowing machines; we do have medicine balls," Hartshorne explains. "On day 1, you're greeted by a trainer, other participants and FMAs (Fit Member Ambassadors). They tour the gym with you, introduce you to other women, you go through a warm-up and a finisher (cool-down), we give you nutritional advice and we walk you through the muscle groups."
That's where the fast pace, high intensity of a burn boot camp pays off. The core and abs benefit from exercises like planks, mountain climbers and sit-ups. Bicep curls, tricep kickbacks, push-ups and walking planks work the arms, while squats and lunges target the legs and glutes. All muscle groups get a workout, but if the BBC workout calls for metabolic conditioning or athletic conditioning, there will be even more sweating.
During the bodyweight-only warm-up, members see less stretching and more movement. This may come in the form of push-ups, high-knees, running or lunges. It's meant to warm up your muscles in preparation for the workout.
The workout of the day – called Burst Training – is explained by the instructor at the start. Burst Training is touted as burning fat cells for up to 72 hours after camp ends. As part of Burst, hypertrophy (resistance) strength training uses push-ups, pull-ups, squats, burpees, mountain climbers, tuck jumps, etc. Workouts are purposefully scheduled so as not to involve, say, upper body strength training two days in a row. This helps prevent injury.
The Finisher typically lasts no more than five minutes. While considered the cool-down portion of the workout, it's still a challenge. Finishers vary but may include plyometric exercises (jump training), sprints or isometric holds (strength training).
"Women spend 45 minutes of their busy day here; it's a lifestyle program. We provide free daycare, then focus on Mom's nutrition, understanding how her body responds...we dive in deeper," Hartshorne says. "Every camp is different, you never get the same workout twice. Protocol is put on the board the week before and you may have Core on Wednesday, but you don't know what to expect. It's designed that way. It keeps the body and mind guessing."
Burn Boot Camp's website speaks to that. "To change the body, you must first change the mind," it says. "A true transformation starts by knowing there will be hardships and preparing yourself to overcome them. During our Burn Boot Camp focus meetings, you'll be able to get personal with your trainer and address the obstacles that have hindered your personal growth in the past."
Also during those focus meetings, women are provided with customized meal planning ideas that work in harmony with their specific lifestyles. Friendships made along the way help motivate and encourage members to make positive choices.
Burn Boot Camp works to motivate up to 50 women in each camp, there are eight camps per day, and Hartshorne says about 95 percent of its members sign up for six-, 12- or 18-month memberships. Co-ed camps are offered evenings.

So you've been doing your research and you are now more interested than ever in becoming a surrogate. You feel ready but how do you get started?
The first step in becoming a surrogate is to pick the right agency. Surrogates vary as much as agencies so picking an agency that you trust is essential. You will be working with this group of people for over a year so you want to feel supported and heard throughout the process. Some questions you should ask when picking an agency: How many cases has the agency handled? Can you speak to current surrogates or former surrogates that have worked with the agency? Is the agency a member of SEEDS (Society of Ethics in Egg Donation and Surrogacy). What are their hours of operation? Are you able to speak to someone even when the agency is closed? How long does their matching process take? Where do they find their Intended Parents? How much is the base compensation package? Do they work with domestic or international parents (or both)? What attorneys do they work with? Having a good relationship with your agency begins with trust so make sure you ask questions and feel completely comfortable when starting the process.
Secondly, connection with other surrogates from the agency you are working with can prove to be key in a successful journey. Your agency should be able to walk you through every part of the process but connecting with other surrogates can really add positivity to the experience. Ask if your agency has a Facebook group or support group that their surrogates participate in. Try to connect with other surrogates who are experiencing the same excitement and fears that you are. Often times agencies work with a handful of doctors so their surrogates may also have the same doctors and be able to shed light on supportive nurses or day of procedures from their own experience.
Lastly, use your profile as the best resume you can honestly provide. When your agency is matching you with an intended parent(s), the parents have very little to go off other than your profile before the face to face meeting or video conference. Use your profile to let your sparkle shine. Explain why you want to be a surrogate. Gush about your own children. Explain your drive to help another family who has been struggling to conceive. The more "you" that shines through in your profile, the easier it is for intended parents to choose you to be an incredible part of this amazing journey.
Becoming a surrogate is not a decision that anyone takes lightly and it is essential that you consider all the factors that go into surrogacy before setting off on your journey. Picking the right agency and group of surrogates who are there to support and guide you can make an incredible difference on your surrogate path. Remember that your profile is the first introduction you get to make to your potential intended parent so put on the glitter and let your sparkle shine. Your journey may be right around the next corner so choose your agency wisely and follow your heart. Trust and support are two of the key components in surrogacy and they need to start with you and your agency.

Spring struggles to maintain its grip, but slowly and surely the bees are building up for the day they can eventually enjoy uninterrupted days of flight and foraging.
My first delivery of packages of honey bees came in early April this year. It's not something I am likely to continue with, early deliveries that is. It was cold and we came very close to losing a lot of the nearly 2,500,000 bees. On the day they arrived it was about 40 degrees, quite a change from Florida where they started their journey.
Every bump in the frost-heaved road shook off more bees from their clusters. In the cold they fall to the bottom of the package and if there for too long, away from the relative warmth of the cluster, they will die.
When they got here, more than half the packages had an inch or more deep of bees, motionless at the bottom of the screen box they traveled in. We quickly unloaded them from the trailer, fearing the worst, and stacked them in my barn with the heat cranked right up.
Slowly, the apparently lifeless bees on the bottom of the packages began to stir and crawl up to the growing clusters of bees wrapped tightly around the queen bees. By the following morning it was as if they had never experienced such a bone chilling journey and all but a few packages were in fantastic condition with very few dead bees.
Given their early start I was recommending to my customers that they feed the bees with pollen substitute. The trees were only just starting to yield pollen and on the days that the daytime temperature was only reaching 50, bees were not able to collect much pollen to feed their brood.
I made up some pollen patties which are a mixture of pollen substitute (full of protein), and some concentrated sugar solution. The patty has the consistency of playdough. It's not ideal but it works really well was an alternative to pollen in these circumstances. I also have some containers out in my bee yard with dry pollen substitute in them, the bees collect it just like they would do with pollen. When the weather is better and there are all sorts of natural pollen out there, the bees will not touch the substitute.
My guy who supplies my bee packages returned with more around May 7. These bees are not going to have the chilly start, nor will they struggle to find pollen. Anyone needing package bees this spring should contact me right away as the order book is closing.
Of course, if you missed the packaged bees there are always nucleus colonies, (or nucs). Nucs are partially grown colonies with five combs full of bees, brood and food. I am making and selling more of these than ever this year. These small colonies, with either standard queens or cold hardy, mite resistant, Saskatraz queens, grow very quickly, much faster than does a package of bees as they are full of developing brood. I spend most of May and June making up nucs.
Most new colonies, given a good location and decent weather, will make a small surplus of honey even in their first year. Each year I have the occasional hive that will make 200 lbs of honey in excess of what they need for the winter. There are always some bad years but this year I hope to beat my honey production record I set last year of over 2500 lbs.
I am nearing the end of my Spring beekeeping classes. If none of these dates or locations work for you let me know I might decide to run an extra class!

Thursday, August 1
Under the moniker of Loyal Lobos, LA-based singer and songwriter Andrea Silva crafts raw, alt-folk songs that break convention. Imbued with a hazy melancholy, Silva mines personal experience, the melodrama of latin telenovelas, and memories of a childhood growing up in the countryside of the Colombian capital to create poetic, painterly music that makes sweeping allusions to love, sexuality and femininity.
Silva was first introduced to music through her kindergarten teacher who made her the soloist in the choir for every funeral and school graduation. Her natural musical abilities were soon recognized by the community and her family, who then allowed her to get guitar lessons and continue to grow her talent. Music became her first and most important outlet to deal with emotions. She later moved to Los Angeles at age 18 to pursue music and there, Loyal Lobos was born. After performing in numerous bands and experimenting with different sounds, she found the essence of her solo sound and in 2016 wrote the music that would become her debut EP, "The Fall".
Loyal Lobos discards simplistic pop narratives and traditional folk story arcs, turning instead to sounds and words that conjure images, textures and situations specific to her life. And yet – as with many great songwriters – this specificity is used as a way to explore emotional themes that resonate both deeply and broadly.
In the aftermath of failed relationships, whilst sofa surfing and seeking solace in Los Angeles, Silva began to write songs that describe love and heartbreak but refuse to slip into the inertia of all-consuming sadness. The resultant tracks have formed a sonic journey laced with harmonic and textural gifts that describes a far-reaching, complex sense of loss, reflection and recovery. "I enjoy feeling sad as much as feeling happy" says Silva. "People forget that being sad is so important, we just neglect it. It strips you naked and you lose your ego, and that's when you are faced with reality. Almost all of my songs are a screen-shot of a meaningful period of my life."
Loyal Lobos is continuing to work on new music, and in 2019 will release her debut album.

John in Lexington"
Dear John:
Pundita agrees with the spirit of your points, as my 2/2/2005 blog amply illustrates. Yet the patents issue regarding agriculture and pharmaceutical products shows two very different reckonings, as a Third World Network report indicates:
When the US introduced IPRs [International Property Rights] in the Uruguay Round as a new issue, it accused the Third World of 'piracy'. The estimates provided for royalties lost in agricultural chemicals are US$202 million and US$2,545 million for pharmaceuticals.The heart of the issue deals with the legal issues relating to 'prior art:'
However, as the Rural Advancement Foundation International (RAFI), in Canada has shown, if the contribution of Third World peasants and tribals is taken into account, the roles are dramatically reversed: the US owes US$302 million in royalties for agriculture and $5,097 million for pharmaceuticals to Third World countries, according to these latter estimates.
In other words, in these two biological industry sectors alone, the US owes $2.7 billion to the Third World. This debt will not be paid by the US unless we have our biodiversity legislation in place.
Patents are supposed to satisfy three criteria: Novelty, Non-obviousness, and Utility:In the case of the chapati patent, the company didn't even bother to make a minor adjustment to the product. They simply listed the genetic make-up of certain strains of wheat--developed through generations of openly shared knowledge among Indian farmers--and termed that list an "invention." So it's not called biopiracy for nothing.
Novelty implies that the innovation must be new. It cannot be part of 'prior art' or existing knowledge. Non-obviousness implies that someone familiar in the art should not be able to achieve the same step. Most patents based on indigenous knowledge appropriation violate the criteria of novelty combined with non-obviousness because they range from direct piracy to minor tinkering involving steps obvious to anyone trained in the techniques and disciplines involved.
Biopiracy--the practice of slapping a patent on indigenous products that evolved through open sharing of knowledge--represents pseudo-science and bad business practice. The larger issue is the controversy about the so-called "WTO patent regime" and how the regime fuels biopiracy. There is some weight to the charge that EU and US companies have greatly abused the spirit and intention of the WTO and the legal system by slapping patents on indigenous products in less developed countries. Basmati rice and chapati wheat are but two in a long list of outrageous patents, which includes the infamous patent on turmeric.
Few Americans are aware of the biopiracy issue, but this is a huge issue in China and India and throughout the developing world. At the heart of the issue is the charge by LDC governments that US and the West European governments have used the WTO as an extension of the plantation policies that supported the European colonial empires.
This is a big and hideously complex subject and there are abuses on both sides. Also, there are divisions within the ranks, as this World Socialist Web Site story indicates. Trotskyites are battling with India's Stalinist Communist Party over the issue of patents.
I note that Trotskyites have a bad habit of injecting doctrinal rhetoric even into the weather report, so first you have to scale socialist verbiage before you can grapple with the really confusing part of the story about Indian patent legislation, TRIPS, and the WTO patent regime.
But not to discourage the reader from giving it a try. Even if you emerge confused, as Pundita did, you'll have an idea of how big this issue is, and why US trade policy should take it under serious consideration.
The WTO patent regime falls under the growing list of protectionist issues. See Mover Mike's pithy essays What is Senate Bill 295? and Can't Someone Rid us of Meddling Governments? for warnings about the rising tide of protectionism and its destructiveness.

Storytelling on Steroids – 10 Stories that Hijacked the Pop Culture Conversation
von John Weich
As if out of nowhere, storytelling has become pop culture's favorite buzzword, and the communication industry's 'weapon' of choice. Whether adman or marketing executive, PR agent or trend watcher, storytelling is the go-to tool for brands and businesses to connect, engage and ultimately convince.
In Storytelling on Steroids, editor and adman John Weich finds out why. Where did all this storytelling come from? Why are so many creative professionals suddenly so eager to spread the storytelling gospel? And who blazed the trail for an Age of Storytelling?
In his compact, fast-moving book, Weich explores the iconic brands, cultural movements and social technologies that have contributed most to storytelling's rise in mainstream creativity and communication. Along the way he calls out countless pop culture darlings to make his case—Batman, Banksy, Tomb Raider, TED Talks, Radiohead, Jay-Z, BMW, to name but a few—and offers up to 15 tips that will inspire you to find your own storytelling voice.

Does time ever end, or does it just bend. I made an attempt to answer that when I was about five or six and discovered, while stepping into an evening bath, that people die.

Within the frame of my experience, it could not be twisted into anything acceptable so I had to take a chance and ride with my imagination somewhere I had never been, and from where I have never fully returned.
Smiling, I explained to my sister the answer: "Its like we are a story in a book," I said, "and when we die, that means God has stopped reading us." I waited for it to sink in for both of us. "But, you know," I hastened to point out, "He can always pick up the book and read about us again."
I am not sure exactly where my contact with the idea of God came from. Perhaps from some other story read to me by someone in the family. It makes no difference that I can think of.
And now, that same question and a variety of answers continue to flash into my mind in almost kaleidoscopic patterns. Patterns that range from Jung's Synchronicity to David Bohm's, Implicate Order.
Does time ever end, or does it just bend?

Nasal Polyps: An Overview
Nasal polyps are abnormal growths that occur inside the nasal passages and the sinuses (canals found behind the cheekbones). Nasal polyps can range from unnoticeable to large lumps, and sometimes they can hang outside the nose. They can be pink but also yellow or grey in colour. They are soft and often described as jelly-like. Symptoms of nasal polyps: Nasal polyps tend to be unnoticeable at first, being dismissed as the irritation associated with a common cold. Some early symptoms include itchiness in your throat and your […]More info

There are a number of dietary links between dementia and heart disease. Excessive sugars, grains, and trans-fat consumption are three factors that promote both.
Not surprisingly, recent research has pointed out that heart disease also increases your odds of developing Alzheimer's disease, a serious and deadly form of dementia.
According to the authors, vascular damage may predispose your brain to increased amyloid plaque build-up, which is a hallmark of this degenerative brain disease. Plaque build-up worsens with stiffer arteries, so preventing arterial plaque formation may be a critical factor in the prevention of dementia.
For decades, saturated fats have been the prime suspect as the cause of heart disease. The food industry, responding to such health concerns, replaced saturated fats with trans-fats, and a whole new market of low-fat (but high-sugar) foods was born.
Americas' health has plummeted ever since, and there's no telling how many may have prematurely died by this decision… Making matters worse, genetically engineered soy oil, which is a major source of tran-fats, can oxidize inside your body, thereby causing damage to both your heart, brain and your immune system.


text: UncleDoug 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2005 Everyone: I found this site this morning, the 22nd, about 4:00 am PDT. Being so new to this disease of ours (I do not yet know my type or stage) my emotional state was one of fear, anxiety and, above all, loneliness. Surely, I thought, I must be the first person down this road. Imagine my feeling when I received over a dozen messages of hope and greeting from you all in a span of 4 hours! I'm such a newbie that I have yet to figure out how to read all my messages and log in/log out! Thank you for your words of encouragement. Today my Doc explained where my tumors were (surrounding the bronchial tube in my left lung and around my right adrenal gland.) He has scheduled me for a needle biopsy early next week which will give both type and stage of my adrenal tumor. My first "meet and greet" with my oncologist is tomorrow. I have family in the area (my brother is a pediatrician locally) and they have been most supportive. In fact my sister-in-law accompanied me to the pulmonologist today. One of my greatest concerns is that I am the family caregiver for my 83 year old mother. She says that she will now take care of me - even to the point of regaining her driving license so that she can ferry me around(!) Wonderful woman, lousy driver. Hope to be in touch with many more of you over the next months. Perhaps there will come a time when I can give words of hope and clarity to another newcomer. By the way, what is a "sticky" post, and does anybody really use those inane "Emoticons" on the left side of the screen? Again, thank you for being here for me.

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has signed with CrestPoint Solutions to deploy a data center infrastructure management (DCIM) solution for data center management in several locations around the country, the company announced earlier this week.
DCIM is a fairly new type of solution in the data center market, currently deployed primarily by early adopters. Federal government agencies are not generally viewed as data center operators that use cutting-edge data center management tools.
The deal is an unusual one but may be a signal that more is to come as a result of the White House's focus on optimizing the government's sprawling data center infrastructure over the past four years or so.
USPTO needed a DCIM solution that featured asset management, visualization, search capabilities, capacity planning, real-time measurement, reporting, analytics and efficiency and optimization capabilities.
The vendor's DCIM software is called CrestPoint-FME.
According to 451 Research, there are more than 60 DCIM vendors in the market today. It is one of the fastest-growing software markets but still a small one within the context of the enterprise software market as a whole.
The analysts estimated that vendors made about $530 million in DCIM sales in 2013.
Another market research firm, Gartner, released its first Magic Quadrant report on top DCIM vendors earlier this week. The report named Schneider Electric, Emerson Network Power, CA Technologies and Nlyte Software market leaders. Gartner did not include CrestPoint in the report.

The King rules OK
Last Saturday night, Viitorul sealed their first-ever league title with a 1-0 win over CFR Cluj, thanks to a second-half penalty, in front of a sell-out crowd of 4,500. Goalscorer Gabi Iancu returned to Hagi's club last summer from Steaua/FCSB, whose 3-0 victory at home to CSU Craiova secured them the second Champions' League spot – ahead of city rivals Dinamo, whose draw with Astra Giurgiu made no difference to their final position of third. Got that? FCSB's Gigi Becali still believes that the League's regulations are unclear and intends to take his case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, in the hope of having the trophy awarded to his club.

A persona is a user archetype which helps guide decisions about product features, navigation, interactions, and even visual design. By taking the archetype – whose goals and behavior patterns you understand very well – into account, you can satisfy the broader group of people represented by that archetype.
The persona puts a name and a face and a story onto the design solution challenge.
What's a Persona?
The persona grows out of aggregate market data. We add some with a few fictional (representative) personal details to bring the persona to life. The Persona describes who we're designing for. Although we may have a primary persona, any well-designed system realistically must accommodate several representative users.
The Persona description includes behavior patterns, goals, skills, attitudes, and environment, with a few (very few!) fictional personal details to bring the persona to life.
Not just a Task List
Although tasks are also an important part of understanding users, a good persona description is not a list of tasks or duties; it's a narrative that describes the *flow* of someone's day, as well as their skills, attitudes, environment, and goals. A persona answers critical questions that a job description or simple task list doesn't, such as:
- Which pieces of information are required at what points in the day?
- Do you focus on one thing at a time, carrying it through to completion, or are there a lot of interruptions?
- Why are you using this site in the first place?
What's the Story?
Stories are an informal, accessible extension on personas and roles. More targeted than a "day in the life" (which tends to be a task-oriented scenario), the story captures the essence of the personal issue and highlights a frustration, a need or a solution.
The story is a memorable, repeatable takeaway.
Goals & Tasks
Each persona should have three or four important goals that help focus the design. Keep in mind that goals and tasks are different:
Tasks are not ends in themselves, but are merely the things we do in order to accomplish goals. Not just any goals will do, though, so it's important to understand which types will help you make design decisions.
Most persona goals should be end goals that focus on what the persona could get out of using a well-designed product or service. End goals may involve the work product that results from using the tool.
Behavioral characterization
What behaviors govern our likely relationship over the course of the customer journey? We make generalizations as to whether individuals are "activators" or "followers" or "avoiders" because we recognize patterns. These 'audience segments' are often identified by Marketing as convenient shorthand when discussing how to engage. Ultimately, much of our interaction design solutions are in response to how we anticipate the behaviors of these segments. It's strategic.
Here are some of the criteria we used to model personas for a Social Networking site. The attributes focus on understanding Who I am, What I want and How I might use the service.
- a name and picture
- demographics (age, income, education, ethnicity, family status)
- home environment (physical)
- working environment (social)
- relationship to technology
- hobbies, interests, priorities
- goals & motivators
- tasks which might relate to our site
- a personal statement that sums up what matters most to me
- a characterization which helps to identify how I am motivated
Personas can be really helpful. They're sort of a souped-up version of an Audience Role – an attempt to understand not just what you do, but really get a feeling for who you are – so that we can design appropriately.
The Persona identifies and describes WHO

This good morning, I bless you with good wishes for your life. Someone called me recently for a heart to heart chat. I was startled to hear them say these words, "…I am so tired. I am just so tired of everything. My life is not making sense…What is there to live for again… I am tired asking God… I am tired of praying...". I listened carefully to the distress in this person's voice. I heard the darkness of their cry. Such kind of talk always make me sit upright and blow the whistle, for Jesus to send legions of angels to feed me with right words to reply with, quickly. We began the dialogue; it quickly launched into deep conversation. We prayed. We sang. We ended up having revival on the phone. The devil ceremoniously lost that round, quick.
Something I rarely do is pray on the telephone. I do not attend prayer lines; I do not do prayer-line praying, period. I cannot connect in prayer with multiple people who I cannot all see at the same time, and are not standing face to face with me, in the same room. Before I agree in intercessory prayer with anyone, I have to be certain that your God is the same God as mine. My God is Almighty Jehovah God, Christ the Lord. I must know you are bowing down and saying "Amen" to Jesus Christ alone. I can only tell this if I know of your faith, and you, personally. I can only see someone's hand clap if I'm in close proximity. Therefore, I remain very strict when it comes to connecting and agreeing in prayer through electronic means and any digital devices.
I made an exception in this case because life was on the line. More importantly, the person had believed and relied on me as almost a desperate resort. Someone was at a critical place in their life. My reaction and counsel would be crucial in helping them escape that place. Both they and I must talk until they see how to and get pass the "I am tired of living" phase. We must watch, fight and pray together until they saw light. It happened. Thank God we got there. They got it.
As a "servant" my responsibility is to serve God first; serve God's people, next; and serve myself, last. I love it in that order. This Hortense here does not want any of the many titles assigned to ministry work. I just want to be here to serve. I want to be the help (maidservant, houseboy) for God and God's people. Sometimes the servant just must ask questions. Just for clarity. Do not be offended, Boss, I know you've got it all under control. You may answer yourself in your privacy.
My friend, where are you this morning? Just exactly what place are you this morning. You are at what place in your life? As we say in Liberian English, "Where you eh so?"
Contemplate where life has led you at this very moment. Gauge your strength and reply, truthfully, to yourself, exactly where are you at this moment. Today? Where were you yesterday has a big influence on where you will be tomorrow if you do not figure where you are today! So, again, may I ask, "At what place are you this morning?"
Kindly allow me. May I send you to the Mount of Prayer. May I direct your gaze to the Throne of Almighty God. An intercessor of divine majesty is up there sitting at the right hand of God the Father. He was down here on this earth and he knows fully how life can get down here. Jesus Christ your personal person is a prayer away. Call his name. Find his address: it's called Our Father In Heaven. Don't wait for him to answer, instead start shouting "Hallowed be Thy Name…".
I am asking you to pray like your life depends on it. Believe that your life depends on you praying like it does. Your life depends on your prayers. In Jesus Name is all you need to regain the strength for living without you getting tired and depleted. If you are that tired, stop now and pray. Pray to Almighty God in the name of Jesus Christ. Pray for God to bless your life with strength for the life you are blessed to have. Pray my friend. You owe you another day of living large!
Srvt. Hortense D. Grimes
Anointed Servant of the Living God.
Founder, Do It For Christ Ministries


text: Home News Plus Dane staff move into new Pioneer Point office Print page Plus Dane staff move into new Pioneer Point office 31.10.2014 Plus Dane staff in Ellesmere Port have moved into new premises at Pioneer Point Business Park. Employees from the organisation's property investment and repairs teams have relocated from their former depot on Rossfield Road Industrial Estate due to its imminent demolition. Staff from IT and HR teams will also soon be moving there as well. After searching several potential new offices in the area, the location and standard of facilities offered at Pioneer Point were chosen as the best solution. The open plan office includes breakout rooms, a kitchen and dining area and state-of-the-art meeting rooms. There is also ample free parking for staff. Plus Dane's repairs and maintenance manager Peter Jones said: "Pioneer Point was the ideal choice for our requirements and once we visited it we knew it would be a superb base for our staff. "It is sad to leave Rossfield Road and a big change, as many people have spent their whole careers working from there, but the move has been a fantastic opportunity to modernise our premises and integrate staff in a bright, fit-for-purpose new building." Plus Dane manages nearly 6,000 properties in Ellesmere Port and Neston on behalf of Cheshire West and Chester Council, as part of a £100m five year contract to provide housing services for tenants and leaseholders in the area. The move to Pioneer Point does not affect Plus Dane staff based at its town centre base on Civic Way, who moved there from the council offices in 2012. Back to top

"It's a great alternative to gin and tonic," says Beatriz Machado, wine director at the Yeatman Hotel in Gaia, Portugal, of the porto tonico (in English, port and tonic).
The cocktail, tall and chilled, made with a crisp white port rather than the raisin-y red stuff, is a staple up and down the Portuguese coast; after four days exploring Gaia and the cobblestoned hills of Porto, directly across the river, I've lost count of how many porto tonicos I've had. Machado, when asked how many she serves a day, responds emphatically: "Hundreds!"
Back in the U.S., the drink is harder to find. 2018 brought the summer of the "sessionable" cocktail (a mixed drink made with lower-alcohol spirits, so you can have a few without getting sloppy), and bargoers saw a surge of options starring vermouth, sherry and red port, all hovering around 20 percent alcohol by volume. But white port, the more mellow, fresh-fruit-forward cousin to red, has taken longer to catch on. This fall, some progress: In September, Taylor, one of the largest port houses, allocated about 500 cases of its signature white port, Chip Dry, to the U.S. for the first time since the 1990s, due to growing demand. The wine, first made in 1934, is a classic, fermented for longer than a typical white port to give it a dry finish, and aged in oak to temper the sweetness of the grapes.
While you can make a port and tonic with a sweet white port, I prefer a dry. It's still bursting with fruit, but the crisp finish is the perfect partner to a bitter, bubbly tonic. The flavors harmonize, and you get something that's easy to drink, but not poundable. Refreshing, but not cloying.
As Thanksgiving gets closer, I'm thinking as much about the ritual of the porto tonico as the taste. In Portugal, the drink is served before nearly every big meal, alongside snacks like Marcona almonds and slippery sardines, as something not-too-boozy to sip before the main event. It's a smart start, especially if your friends and family show up before you're even close to done cooking. You don't even have to do the work. Set up a station, and let guests pour their own.
At Pharmacia, a popular bar in Lisbon, bartenders garnish their port and tonics with mint. Machado prefers orange zest. Both are great options. The only rule you have to follow: Use a quality tonic and a quality port. To make it even more fun, line up a few different bottles of each and get your holiday crowd going in a taste test. If anything, it'll give you something to argue about that's not politics.

Grilled, roasted or sous vide — have your steak and eat it too
By Samantha Francis
There are times when nothing but a well-marbled slab of meat that's been grilled to perfection will suffice.
To help you satisfy your cravings, here are five restaurants worth every meat lover's while.
Shelter in the Woods is a European-style rotisserie offering roasted meats such as Black Angus prime rib, roasted chicken and golden suckling pig served with crackling
1. Shelter in the Woods — European Rotisserie
This traditional European rotisserie offers an extensive menu inclusive of Black Angus prime rib, roasted chicken and more. All the meats are cooked in a traditional gas-flame rotisserie and roasted upon order.
Highlights include the golden and succulent Rotisserie Suckling Pig (from $35) served with crackling and chunks of sweet rotisserie-grilled pineapples. If you're feeling extra indulgent, order the Rotisserie Cote de Boeuf (rib steak with bone attached, approx. 1kg, $158). It features a hefty 200-plus-day grain-fed Australian Black Angus Stockyard prime rib on the bone alongside roasted baby potatoes, watercress and roasted bone marrow.
Shelter in the Woods, 22 Greenwood Ave, Singapore 289218, Tel: 6466 6225
The Chop House's extensive menu will satiate meat lovers with steaks such as the premium USDA Prime Grain Fed Rib Eye.
2. The Chop House — Affordable, Quality Steak
Are you looking for quality steak that won't burn a hole in your pocket? The Chop House, brought to you by the same team behind the acclaimed Wooloomooloo Steakhouse, is a gastro-bar that offers classic steakhouse fare, in hearty portions.
The extensive menu here will satiate meat lovers with steaks such as the premium USDA Prime Grain Fed Rib Eye ($38), seafood selections such as Pan Fried Barramundi ($26) and sharing platters like the Mixed Grill Platter ($68). The delectable side dishes stand out on their own, especially the aromatic and chunky Truffle Potato Salad ($7) as well as the Creamy Spinach ($5).
The Chop House outlets including its latest at 112 Katong, 112 East Coast Road, #01-13, Singapore 428802, Tel: 64431011
The Shashlik of Beef comprises skewers of lean beef tenderloin served on a sizzling hot plate.
3. Shashlik — Hearty Russian Fare
Thrust into the spotlight ever since the news of its closure last year, Shashlik restaurant has reopened its doors after being revived by its second-generation owners. Thankfully, the dishes at this Russian eatery are as delightful as before.
The Borshch soup ($7) is savoury and rich, with tender cubes of beef shank and a drizzle of sour cream. Another must-try is its namesake, the Shashlik of Beef ($32) — skewers of lean beef tenderloin presented on an old-school wooden trolley and served on a sizzling hot plate, .
Don't be alarmed if it arrives slightly less cooked — the meat will eventually be nicely seared on the hot plate.
Shashlik, Far East Shopping Centre, 545 Orchard Road, #06-19, Singapore 238882, Tel: 6732 6401
Head to 5th Quarter for quality meat on the grill, with elements of smoking, curing and pickling.
4. 5th Quarter — Cured Meats on Grill
5th Quarter is a contemporary grill helmed by award-winning chef Drew Nocente, whose Italian-Australian culinary background influences much of the menu. Think traditional meat curing methods and quality produce on the grill, with elements of smoking, curing and pickling.
Noteworthy dishes include the Pork Collar with Radishes & Praline (S$32), featuring pork collar that has been brined for 24 hours and then sous vide, as well as the Short Rib with Carrot & Pomegranate (S$36), where short ribs are smoked for eight hours before a 48-hour sous vide treatment.
5th Quarter, 39 Syed Alwi Rd, Singapore 207630, Tel: 62911936
Naughty Nuri's signature Barbecue Pork Ribs is marinated in a sticky-sweet home-blend sauce.
5. Naughty Nuri's — Succulent Ribs & Indonesian Fare
Save those air tickets; Bali's iconic barbecued ribs restaurant, Naughty Nuri's, has now opened a Singaporean outlet at Capitol Piazza. Diners can expect the familiar, laid-back vibes of the warung (small family-owned restaurant) with dishes such as succulent barbecued ribs, refined Indonesian and Western fare, as well as the very martinis that Chef Anthony Bourdain raved about.
Nuri's signature Barbecue Pork Ribs ($18.90) doesn't disappoint. Marinated in a sticky-sweet home-blend sauce, the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender and best paired with the home-made kecap manis chilli sauce for an extra kick. Some new items have a Western spin, like the juicy and meaty Wagyu Steak ($23.40).
Naughty Nuri's, Capitol Galleria, 15 Stamford Road, #01-84, Singapore 178906, Tel: 6384 7966
A version of this article appeared in the print edition of Weekender, Issue 149, April 1 – April 14, 2016, with the headline ' 5 Restaurants every meat lover should check out'.

Duty of Candor
A final fiduciary duty is the duty of candor or the duty of disclosure. Like good faith, the duty of candor is not an independent fiduciary duty, but rather - depending on the circumstances - a subsdiary element of the duty of loyalty or care. The duty of candor implicates a series of legal obligations under both state corporate law and Federal securities laws. The Wayport case that follows summarizes how the duty of candor is implicated depending on the circumstance.

Type: Anime about loving semi-intelligent robot women.
Synopsis: A wanna-be college student finds a discarded robot girl (Chii), turns her on, and…ah….decides to keep it. Turns out their may be more to her than meets the eye, so he spends most of the show trying to investigate what makes her tick while simultaneously trying to teach her how to act human.
Pros:…Chii is kinda cute.
Cons: Chobits is….Chobits falls short in….O.k. Real talk? Chobits sucks. A lot. At first you think its ganna be this funny little anime revolving around a naive robot girl and her shmuck of an owner. But nope. That's thrown out the window after the second episode. The rest of the show deals with the question "Can robots love?" The question the audience ends up asking is "Can a show about cute robots that deals with such a profound issue really be this boring?" The answer is yes, yes, yes.
Watch it?: NO. NO. NO. (2/5)
MVP: Chii
Best Episode: None. (They all blow)

Passion, talent and excitement….
Everywhere I went looking for passion, talent and excitement I found myself surrounded only by politics that would make a Roman Senator shrivel in fear, and programmers whose only goal in life was to make it from pay check to pay check. Design patterns- what are they? Extreme Programming what? You mean you actually write 'tests' in code? What's a delegate? Why learn that version of the language – I don't even know this one too well!!
But, by and large I found myself in the same situation over and over. I was like that female friend or relative that we all have that seems to continually find themselves in love with abusive partners. Over and over I'd be lambasted for being too passionate (a condition muppets refer to as arrogance). Time and again I'd find myself explaining basics of programming to people that should know better, people with years of experience under their belts, people that really didn't care. I've lost count of the number of times I've taken abuse (real and faux-comedic) for being dedicated to the pursuit of beauty in code and technology.

From a client email:
My question is what Jon Renau wig color is closest to Gabor's Chocolate Caramel?
None of the JR colors are an exact match to the GL27/29 (Chocolate Caramel). The closest approximations are 27MB, 27MBF, and 27T33B. These colors can be kind of hard to find in their newer styles. When all else fails, FS27 will also work well, but it is substantially lighter due to the light strawberry highlight colors.
The issue here is that #29 in the Gabor color. It's got just a hint of brown blended in, and that is something all the colors in the JR line lack. 😉

As those of you who follow me on Twitter will know, I have recently been working on an Imperial fleet for Battlefleet Gothic. I've only played one game of BFG but I really enjoyed it and really like the models. As with most of Games-Workshop's Specialist Games range, it is relatively inexpensive easy to get into; the rules are free to download from the GW website and you don't require all that many models to play.
Above you can see the current status of the fleet. Most models are largely finished and only need details such as weapons, figureheads and markings painting. The ships are nicely detailed and quick and easy to paint. In a later blog post I will give a step-by-step account of the colours and techniques used.
In other news, I have created a dedicated Miniature Miscellany email address and added a contact section (top of page) should you wish to get in touch with me. I have also created a Miniature Miscellany Facebook page which you can find here: http://www.facebook.com/MiniatureMiscellany
Have a great week,

What is it?: a black tea spiced with cinnamon and orange, blended to drink as an accompaniment to hot cross buns at Easter time.
Recommendations: 1.5 teaspoons per cup, brew for 4 minutes. Drink with or without milk.
The Tea and Me:
Gewürzhaus is a local Melbourne shop specialising in spice blends from around the world. I love to go there a couple of times a year to stock up on spices for Christmas and other festive times. I always make sure to get some of their Easter Bun tea as it's one of my favourites. This year however, the flavour is different! It's no longer a sweet, subtle floral tea, but a spicy orange blend. After some initial confusion, I decided to give it a try, and thought, why not use it as an opportunity to start a tea review series?
So here we go.
The dry tea has a very strong orange aroma, with a hint of cinnamon behind it. It was appealing enough to make me decide to purchase some, despite it being different from what I was familiar with in the past. The brewing recommendation of 1.5 teaspoons per cup seemed quite a lot for such a strong-smelling tea. As the instructions say Easter Bun Tea can be drunk with or without milk, I poured it both ways to compare.
After brewing, the orange scent draws back, leaving a spicy cinnamon scent with just a hint of fruit. This is reflected in the flavour, too. I have to admit, I was a little surprised when I read that cinnamon is the only spice in this tea. Gewürzhaus is known for its spice blends, so I would have expected a more sophisticated blend. There's a slight astringent note on the tongue along with the spice.
Once the spicy punch subsided, the tea was much sweeter than I expected. This balanced out the cinnamon quite well. Adding milk tones down the spice and compliments the sweetness nicely. I preferred the milk version. As to whether the tea goes well with Easter Buns? Unfortunately, I didn't have any buns to hand (hence the pumpkin for decoration instead!) but I think the tea would go well with them. A drink to accompany a spicy, fruity bun would need to be strong in flavour to work, and this tea fits the bill.
Ingredients: organic Ceylon and China black tea, cinnamon, orange peel, natural cinnamon flavouring, natural orange flavouring (from the Gewürzhaus website)
Available: Gewürzhaus shops in Melbourne and online, only during Easter time.

Martyrs in Blue Stained GlassBy Rosalie M. Kearns
May 16, 2012
The martyrs in blue stained glass
are always dying.
See them today, tomorrow,
next week, same story:
you'll catch them mid-throe.
They whisper blessings, curses,
eyes raised to heaven,
which weeps, or hurls lightning,
or politely refrains from comment.
Meanwhile votive candles
burn coldly in blue glass.
Pews in implacable rows
promise discomfort, redemption.
Hymnals hum softly,
hug dirges tight
between dusty covers.
Irreverent woman, taking
notes on dust and dour
saints, doubting hellfire
and heaven, still closes
her eyes, imagines her life
extolled in hymns,
her portrait in blue stained glass.
