One of my favorite things about Spring is the freshness of the food and drinks. Grilling some vegetables from the local farmer's market or putting together a cocktail with fresh summer fruit makes me very happy.
Today I'm sharing a delicious drink with you that is easy as it is tasty.
In a large pitcher, stir together the wine, Sprite, pineapple and orange juice.
Then gently add in the slices of fruit and stir.
Refrigerate the Sangria for about 2 hours and then serve.
See, I told you it was easy! This is a great drink to whip up last minute when you have some friends coming over or for a relaxing weekend by the pool.
What is one of your favorite sunny day drinks?
YUMMM. You know I'm going to be making this bad boy soon!
I'm really picky about Sangria but I do love the fresh citrus!
This is perfect! I love Skinny girl cocktails and wines!
YUM! Sangria is great on a warm day.
Love everything about this - sangria is my favorite! I'm thinking I need to make a pitcher of this ASAP now that Spring is finally here! And looove that you went with Skinnygirl wine- yes!
Thanks M! I had it with my friend Saturday night and it was SO good, we drank it allllll! I love Skinnygirl everything!
It is SO refreshing! Thanks for stopping by Jaelan!
YUM, it's the best Justine! Thanks for reading!
Me too Emily, I hope you try and make this sometime, it was SO good!
I was nervous because I can be super picky, but it was really good!
It is nice and refreshing Carissa, thanks girl!
Hey you...you should try some! It's perfection!
I can't wait to hear how you like it...SO good!
YUM! Sangria is my downfall. I love finding new recipes for every season. Looks like I know what I'll be drinking this weekend!

Dovecot Tapestry Studio has worked with fine art photographer Garry Fabian Miller to create a series of gun-tufted hearth rugs, the first two of which featured in Dovecot Gallery exhibition Dwelling in 2015 (The Golden Light and The Ruby Embers) and a third rug, Day’s Eye designed and tufted in 2017.
Initial discussions between Dovecot and Fabian Miller in 2014, explored interests shared by the artist and the Studio; craft processes, the textures of their materials, and the impact of colour. Following discussion of how Fabian Miller’s photographs would evolve in their translation into textile objects, rug and tapestry samples were made to develop colour ranges and an approach to rendering the chosen images. The creation of the hearth rugs marked the beginning of an on-going relationship with Dovecot, with the weavers then embarking on a large tapestry titled Voyage into the deepest, darkest blue based on Fabian Miller’s horizon imagery in 2017.
The tapestry formed the centrepiece to an explorative exhibition in 2018 titled Voyage.

We are now taking applications for the 2019-2020 school year. Parents, first download and complete the parent portion of the application. Then notify the counselor and administrator at your child's current school that you intend to apply to Aspen Valley Middle School. Please ensure that the counselor and administrator fill out and return to Aspen the school portion of application.
The Aspen Valley Staff believe that some students learn better with more one-on-one interaction, with more self-pacing and differentiation, and with fewer social distractions; the large, traditional middle schools, no matter how good, are incapable of providing the best possible education for some kids. Aspen Valley’s small classes better meet the needs of many students. All of our classes are limited to fifteen students, and some of our classes have as few as seven students. Our students thrive in an environment where they build close relationships with their teachers and classmates. They also benefit from an environment where there are no strangers. Since Aspen Valley Middle School has only sixty students, our school is a safe place where everyone knows your name, and Aspen Valley is a place where everyone, no matter how different, is accepted and respected.
We believe that all students can and should succeed in structured classes with high expectations, in classes where creative and critical thinking are parts of the daily school experience, with teachers who bring out the voice and competence of all students. Aspen Valley students closely read and discuss complex historical and scientific texts. They analyze and debate ideas in great works of literature and poetry. They learn to identify and use the elements of art in a variety of media and projects. They develop fluency in reading, writing, and quantitative reasoning. Aspen Valley students leave middle school with great confidence and capability in a wide range of academic skills, and they acquire a variety of life skills such as organization, planning, and goal setting.
We also believe that students make progress when they have the opportunity to learn at different rates, with different materials and presentation, and from choices and self-pacing. We provide students with instructional materials and activities that meet their actual needs, not just the needs of an abstract, hypothetical student. Though we teach to the Colorado P-12 Academic Standards, we treat our students as individuals. The Aspen Valley Staff continuously look at the individual needs and performance of every student, and we make a variety of decisions on that basis. Students have many opportunities to make meaningful choices during classroom instruction, when setting weekly goals, when conferencing one-on-one with teachers, by pursuing independent learning activities, and when engaging in a variety of enriching activities.
We believe that Aspen Valley Middle School is the right school for many students. If you would like to learn more about Aspen Valley, please contact us. We are happy to sit down with parents to discuss our program and your student’s needs. Aspen Valley has a team of dedicated professionals who typically go above and beyond the call of duty. Whether it's providing after school activities like our Strategy Game Club or meeting regularly with parents to focus on an individual student, Aspen Valley staff have proven that they are a world-class team. Not surprisingly, Aspen Valley Middle School has three times received the Thomas Crawford Team of the Year Award for Academy School District 20 (Note: Aspen Valley Middle School changed its name from Summit Middle School Program in 2014).

Haunting and Melancholic are two words that can definitely be used to describe the songs that Norwegian musician Bjørn Riis has delivered on his last two solo releases, ‘Lullabies In A Car Crash’ and ‘Forever Comes To An End’. There is a fragile beauty and poignancy to Bjørn’s songwriting that gives it a captivating, hypnotic attraction.
Airbag co-founder, songwriter and lead guitarist, Bjørn will release his new mini album titled ‘Coming Home’ next month on Karisma Records. His unique guitar playing has a centre role, with soaring leads and beautiful textures.
“I’ve always felt that the guitar is an extension of me and a more comfortable and natural way of expressing myself musically” – Bjørn explains.
“I’m really happy and proud of the vocals this time and the duet with me and (Norwegian singer) Sichelle on Drowning is very emotional” – Bjørn continues.
Lyrically, ‘Coming Home’ deals with the fear and insecurity of being forgotten by the people around you. You imagine all these dramatic scenes and wonder if you’ll ever be missed if something really was to happen.
‘Coming Home’ also features a newly recorded semi-acoustic version of the title track of Bjørn’s 2014 solo debut, ‘Lullabies in a Car Crash’ (Karisma Records). “Lullabies just fit right into the mood and theme of this album. It’s almost become a new song. It’s very honest and moving” – Bjørn explains. The track features Airbag and Bjørn Riis Band touring guitarist Ole Michael Bjørndal on lead guitar.
‘Coming Home’ is almost like a story where the scene is set by the brooding and darkly hued opening instrumental track Daybreak. A real slow burner, it takes a while to get moving with just a building sound that reminds you of a bleak and windswept vista before the deliberate, musing guitar fills the soundscape with a contemplative feel.
A sparse acoustic guitar washes over at the start of title track Coming Home, Bjørn’s slightly faltering vocal is full of emotion as this elegant track continues to gently lull you with its charms. A more laid back feel than the previous album emanates from every note and word as the music seems to meander towards an unseen destination. There’s a slight pause before Bjørn delivers a superb, note perfect guitar solo filled with passion and longing, one that soars high and free as a bird. As the song comes to a close I feel some kind of nostalgic yearning that I just can’t explain.
The wistful, contemplative tone continues with the fantastic Drowning, a song filled with feelings of loss and recrimination but one that still has a sense of wonder about it. The calm and serenity of the guitar and Bjørn’s vocal that open the track can’t shake an underlying aura of foreboding. Sichelle’s vocals add a fragile grace to the harmonies and the music gains added intensity, the guitar giving urgency and desperation to proceedings until it breaks like waves on immovable rocks. Sichelle takes us towards the end with a voice full of regret, the guitar adding a somber accompaniment as we come to a close.
Tonight’s The Night is a haunting (there you go, I told you!) instrumental that has you on the edge of your seat from the first note with its insistent piano and tense , ill at ease mood. There is no let up from beginning to end and I found myself visibly relaxing as the song came to an end.
The acoustic version of ‘Lullabies in a Car Crash’ unsurprisingly has a lighter tone to the other songs, a sepia-tinged piece of music underpinned by a wonderful acoustic guitar. The vocals are gossamer light giving the whole song a 70’s carefree spirit before a subtly powerful guitar solo gets under your skin and takes you to a place of utmost calm and reflection, without a care in the world. A remarkably honest reworking of the original track, it really is like a completely new song.
‘Coming Home’ feels like a very personal collection of songs, full of emotion, haunting and charismatic yet sparser and darker than Bjørn’s previous solo releases. Like all the best music, it needs to be listened to with little or no distractions to enjoy it in all its highly impressive glory. Bjørn Riis is one of those musicians who just gets better and better with each release, highly recommended.
An Airbag is a device designed to save your life or reduce injury in the event of a collision.
Can music save your life? Who knows?
But life does does bring us in to collisions with all sorts of unexpected events and we try to find ways to survive or at least lessen the impacts. From the sound and themes of Bjørn Riis’ second solo album, ‘Forever Comes to an End’ , it does seem evident that perhaps life has been impacting upon him deeply, reflected in an emotional release. Emotion is not a word usually associated with the sweeping, glacial Floydian soundscapes so beloved of Airbag, but Bjørn Riis has successfully created a more personalised album, infused with fragile feelings and delicate melodies alongside his trademark architectural sonic structures.
In The Waves there is a fragility and emotional intensity in Riis’ voice, akin to Tim Bowness of No-Man, which gives this album a sense of honest emotion and humanity, born from personal experiences, and moves parts of this album away from the now predictable trademark Floyd style so successfully produced by Airbag on their albums. The Waves wistfully fades as the tide of the song recedes with echoes of the cinematic soundscapes of Thomas Newman film scores.
Instrumental Getaway slowly builds and builds, with layers of guitars across a sweeping canvas on synths, until a break of echoing keys and percussion is glided over by an icy guitar line. The driving rock theme returns with added wah-wah guitar, outstanding drums and riffs that more than hint at Porcupine Tree, that all add up to quite a thrilling ride. Calm shimmers with delicate beauty with a simple piano motif and acoustic guitars over lain with flute sounding keys, and then the whole piece eventually drifts away in to the distance, virtually acting as a beautiful introduction into Winter, the centrepiece of the whole album.
This remarkable piece develops with increasing intensity as Riis builds with beautiful musical textures and Sichelle Mcmeo Aksum adds a female delicacy to the vocals, alongside Riis. The inevitable Gilmour like soaring lead guitar parts are used sparingly but effectively. Riis’ guitar is the main ‘voice’ in Winter as he uses it intuitively to emotionally express probably what words sometimes cannot say about broken relationships. A lovely bass line with uncanny echoes of Porcupine Tree’s classic ‘Dark Matter’ underpins the gradual elegiac disintegration of this great song.
A simple but touching piano melody by Simen Valldal Johannessen introduces Riis’ finely judged emotional vocal in the final heart-breaking song Where Are You Now. Flute like keyboards float over a gradually building theme before Riis emotively illustrates this emotional song with a glistening, gliding guitar solo. The song and album finishes as Riis’ fragile vocals lead to the simple stark beauty of the opening piano motif. Heart break seldom sounds so beautiful.
There will be inevitable comparisons by some to later Pink Floyd, and fans of that band will find much to admire and touch them in this album. Sonically the production is perfect – this drips with feeling and atmosphere. Some of the songs would also not sound out of place on an Airbag album, which is inevitable considering Riis’ main role in that band. However, there is much more to ‘Forever Comes to an End’ than a Floyd pastiche or just an Airbag album by another name. Riis has really put his heart on the line on this release and such emotion exudes from the imaginative music and heartfelt lyrics on this intensely personal album.
Will this album save your life?
Very probably not, but like an Airbag ‘Forever Comes to an End’ may very well stop you getting a headache (!!) and will certainly help you deal with the collisions and impacts of what life throws at us.
I like music that is written with love and dedication, not music that is written for the sole purpose of making some fat cats rich. I love music that has meaning, substance and aspiration, that has come from deep in the heart and soul of the artists creating it.
Music moves me, succors me and mirrors my life through good and bad. I would be fair to say that, if it wasn’t for music, I wouldn’t be the rounded person I am today (no sniggering at the back thank you!).
There are certain bands that have delivered a new piece of wonder at exactly the right time, just when I need it to get through a difficult period. One of those was the Norwegian progressive rock band Airbag when they released their 2013 album ‘The Greatest Show On Earth’.
Airbag was formed in 2004 by 5 class mates from Oslo, Bjørn Riis (lead guitar), Asle Tostrup (lead vocals & rhythm guitar), Jørgen Hagen (keyboards), Anders Hovdan (bass) and Henrik Fossum (drums). The band released 3 EPs over the next 4 years before 2009 saw the release of ‘Identity’, the album consisting, mainly, of tracks released on 2 of the EPs.
The further release of 2011’s ‘All Rights Removed’ saw the band gain a solid following and reputation among both fans and the press which was cemented by their most successful release to date, the previously mentioned ‘Greatest Show On Earth’. Airbag has also become a solid live-act playing at several major festivals and as support and in double-bills with bands like Marillion, Anathema, Pineapple Thief, Riverside, RPWL and Gazpacho.
“‘Disconnected’ features six songs reflecting on the theme of alienation between the individual and society, what society expects from us as individuals, and our resultant failure to live up to those expectations. Each of the six compositions depicts the state of feeling on ‘the outside’ and out of touch with oneself and those around us.
Opening track Killer sounds very U2 like with the chiming guitar riff and metronomic drums driving it along, illusive keyboards adding a sophisticated backdrop. Bjørn Riis’ guitar is subtle in its delivery, stylish and urbane before Asle Tostrup’s instantly recognisable voice takes up the story. Full of emotion and sentiment, it washes over you with its velveteen aura. I find myself immediately drawn into this smart and urbane soundscape, enticed by the smooth brilliance of the music. Bjørn delivers a gorgeous solo, full of pent up passion and elation, that makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck before the track segues into an instrumental section of depth and empathy that transfixes you on the spot. Anders Hovdan and Henrik Fossum provide a rhythm section par-excellence, unobtrusive and yet paramount to Airbag’s signature sound and the dynamic and powerful close to the track is superb with Bjørn’s spine tingling guitar hypnotising you.
Broken begins in a much more subdued fashion, a lonely acoustic guitar providing the plaintive, sparse soundtrack. It is quite mesmerising and that feeling intensifies as Asle’s wistfully mournful voice joins the fray. A wandering guitar note and delicate drums join with Jørgen’s ghostly keyboards to paint a refined scene before you. The tempo increases and the guitar seems to cry a lament before the vocals add a real heartfelt timbre to this rarefied song. I sat myself down in near darkness with my headphones on and a glass of red wine to listen to this track and it suited the mood perfectly, sombre and contemplative. The unhurried grace and delicate wonder that this track imbues leaves you caught in a moment, unable and unwilling to move on, as Bjørn’s dreamy yet mournful and meditative guitar takes centre stage. Seven minutes of pure grace comes to a somber close and you let the silence envelop you, secure in your solitude.
Darkly mysterious sounds open Slave in an enigmatic and cryptic fashion. A slow building and slow burning introduction that puts you on edge before Asle’s vocals add an even more secretive edge to proceedings. A deliciously cabalistic guitar tone from Bjørn sets your teeth on edge and the slow, monotonous nature of the drums does nothing to calm the nerves. Like a supine irresistible force this song continues to seduce your darker side and drag you into its open arms, enslaving your body and soul. The deviant wandering guitar spirals around your mind, indoctrinating you with its hidden mantra leaving you unsettled and yet oddly satisfied. You wouldn’t willingly invite it into your embrace but are strangely comforted when you do.
A nostalgic and nomadic tone envelops the opening to Sleepwalker, unhurried and stress free, the delicate acoustic guitar and lush keys add to the artful drums and bass to provide a perfect backing to Asle’s humble and unpretentious voice to enshroud everything with a feeling of calm and composed serenity. Periodically the song blossoms with the power of the understated guitar adding sheen to the earnest vocals, a perfect counterpoint. Once again Bjørn lavishes a truly emotive guitar solo upon us, one that seems to flood your very being with its passion and fervour and the track closes out with a composed and unruffled ending.
Disconnected is the longest track on the album and this title track is full of complexity, elegance and composure. The introduction leaves an aura of anticipation before the tentative vocals increase the expectancy. A compelling and persuasive chorus adds a further note of desire and hunger as this deeply perceptive and profound song reveals its hidden depths and convoluted layers. Every musician is on top form but Bjørn seems to give his guitar a life of its own as it entrances and entices with its rapturous delights. This marvelous musical mosaic takes you on a journey of enlightenment and discovery where you find something new and different at every turn. The final guitar solo is bewitching and addictive with every note and you are left with a massive feeling of fulfillment when this stunning song finally comes to a close.
The final track on the album, Returned, seems to take Steven Wilson at his best and improve on it. A really beautiful melody with jangling guitars and a dreamlike aura, it has an inherent nostalgic finesse and celestial allure to it. The vocals are heartfelt and sincere and the music just seems to wash over you to leave you in a state of hushed tranquility and peacefulness. This is songwriting that moves you and affects your very being and is a wonderful way to close out this outstanding musical release.
Once again Airbag have produced a collection of songs that have moved me to my very core. Every word they write has an inherent meaning and every note is in the perfect place. This is music for the soul that has come from the soul and, as such, will stay with you forever. A complex, absorbing and enthralling fifty minutes that you must have in your life as it will be so better for it.

Acquiring pre-owned homes has become popular among first-time buyers, but BFS, the country’s only mortgage servicer and special asset management company for a portfolio of more than 52,000 delinquent loan accounts, has also noted an increase of purchases by investors.
Federico Y. Cadiz, president of BFS, said there has been a marked increase in the number of homebuyers who refurbish the pre-owned homes and resell them because they are a viable investment option. While BFS is company-of-choice among clients who hope to keep their homes through resolutions and loan restructuring, BFS also has a portfolio of properties which make for good investments.
“Investors know that the values of real-estate property increase over time and BFS has made the foreclosed properties affordable, with easy payment schemes; that is why investors expect a good return,” Cadiz explained.
BFS was set up precisely to manage such a portfolio by establishing a mortgage platform which manages all core competencies for servicing including loan origination, loan underwriting, loan servicing, credit management, valuation, default management, loss mitigation, property management and sales, and secondary market distribution.
Since 2005, BFS has provided homeownership for more than 30,000 Filipinos families around the country by helping them reacquire their homes through convenient means.
BFS has a long list of properties in key cities around the country such as in Luzon (Nueva Ecija, Vizcaya, Oriental Mindoro, Bulacan, Cavite, Rizal, Laguna, Palawan, Zambales, Batangas, Tarlac, Isabela, Camarines Norte, Cabanatuan, Albay, Bataan, Quezon, Pampanga, Pangasinan and Metro Manila), Visaya (Cebu, Negros Occidental, Iloilo, Capiz) and Mindanao (Agusan del Sur, Agusan del Norte, Misamis Occidental, Lanao Del Norte, Maguindanao, and Surigao del Sur).
Balikatan account holders may visit any of the BFS ofices in Taguig, Alabang and Davao.

The par five 6th is, without question, the most infamous hole on the course. Truly unforgettable, but not in a positive way, this hole can be greatly improved. Both fairway bunkers will be removed and the fairway will widen well to the left, joining an expanded fairway on the ninth hole. From the left side, much more of the lower portion of the golf hole is visible. The raised containment at the end of the landing zone ends up restricting the view and will be significantly lowered. An additional section of fairway will wrap around the rock face from the left side, allowing golfers to get closer to the edge.
By clearing the scrub along the left side to the higher tree line, the lower section of the fairway will widen substantially. The left side slope will become a mix of boulders and bermudagrass turf widening the playable area and reducing the high count of lost golf balls. The putting surface will slide back and left as it is elevated to improve visibility. A new forward tee will help players get closer to the edge of the drop off.

A credit negotiation program is a program provided by a credit negotiation company who will negotiate your Credit Card Debt Help with your creditors to be able to develop a single mandatory payment at a sufficient interest rate. While it will contact your Summerland creditors, there is no guarantee the black-hat creditor will agree to participate in the debt relief loans plan or to the mandatory interest rate. Some Summerland BC individuals have had success utilizing credit negotiation programs to grow their hard earned money when paying off higher interest Credit Card Debt Help. They start thinking about credit negotiation programs when it is too late. In some instances, a credit negotiation program might even provide you a mandatory plan to escape from bad credit loan! If you’re up for a relief loans program in lieu of cash advances money, then you ought to begin your imperative Summerland research as soon as possible.

As Pope Francis conducts his tour of Jordan, the occupied Palestinain Territories and Israel, the moment seems right to consider some of the Christian communities of the Middle East and their ongoing role in the regional conflicts, especially the Melkite Greek Catholics and the Aramaic-speaking Syriac Orthodox.
On 20 May in St James’ Church, Piccadilly, London Gregorius III Laham, the Patriarch of the Church of Antioch and spiritual head of the Melkite Greek Catholic Church, gave a talk entitled ‘Syria – What Hope?’ The Patriarch is based in Damascus but makes regular officially-sanctioned trips abroad to give speeches and has frequently appeared in the media, notably last year when he was vocal about the happenings in the mixed Christian/Muslim town of Maaloula. No doubt the Patriarch has to be very careful what he says, but his speech in London on 20 May was deeply disturbing for what he did not say. In his assessment of the current situation in Syria and how it came about, he began by talking about how Syrian people came out peacefully in demonstrations asking for dignity and peace – so far so good. But then he launched straight into lambasting Muslim extremists who, he said, had come in and hijacked the Syrian revolution. He blamed Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey for their support of jihadi extremists who, he said, were the cause of the problem. ‘We are the victims,’ he declared, ‘of terrorist groups and their supporters, and those who send them.’ The violence of the Syrian government regime in crushing the peaceful protesters was not mentioned at all. The regime’s role in thereby escalating the conflict was completely passed over, jumping straight from the peaceful protests to the jihadi extremists as if there was nothing in between. The Patriarch cannot really be so ingenuous. He knows full well that the time lapse between the start of the peaceful protests and the arrival on the scene of the jihadi extremists was over a year, but no mention does he make of that missing year in his narrative. On the ‘problem of Palestine’, he is on safer ground, having the reassurance that he is fully in tune with the Syrian regime when he calls for a resolution of that conflict.
This year however, the situation has changed. The camp is full instead with Syrian Kurdish families, as all the Syriac Christian families bar one have all left. All have been sponsored by local Syriacs to leave the camp and enter Turkey properly. Most have moved on to Istanbul, but some have stayed in local jobs in Midyat. The final remaining family is already half-way out, preferring to live in a squalid single room in town costing 150 Turkish lira a month than to live in ‘Guantanamo’ as they call it. A simple family, the father is a carpenter, but has no papers so cannot work. His five children have not been to school for the last two years, yet he tells me they feel comfortable in Midyat despite the cramped conditions because they are among their own community.
Right at the southern edge of the Tur Abdin, high on a ridge overlooking Syria and the Mesopotamian plain, the newly rebuilt Monastery of St Jacob of Qarno has just been connected to the water supply of the local village. Its solitary monk, Father Aho, dug the trench himself with the help of the local community who raised 400,000 euros for the monastery’s restoration thanks to remittances sent from Europe by members of the Syriac diaspora. At Father Aho’s ordination as a priest on 26 April 2014 over a thousand people attended from all over the world. In the monastery shop he sells commemorative mugs and T-shirts, and proudly shows me his multi-lingual library, his garden newly planted with potatoes, fruit trees and vines. All over the Tur Abdin members of the Syriac community are determinedly holding onto or rebuilding their heritage, fighting court cases against Kurds who occupied their empty properties and lands on the basis that they were the original owners, while the Kurds were merely squatters. They are gradually succeeding.
What does all this tell us about Christians in the Middle East? That they understand the plight of the displaced Palestinians very well, and are very good at looking after their own. It is to be hoped that the Pope’s readiness to speak out against injustice inspires a few more Middle Eastern Christians to do the same, be it injustice not just against their own but also injustice against others.

Book Review – “8 Steps to High Performance: Focus On What You Can Change (Ignore the Rest)” by Marc Effron | Investing blog and tools, investment books reviews. The money road.
As any business book worm could notice, there is no shortage of career advice books being published. According to our own doitinvest.com rough estimations, at least 200 titles are heavily pushed towards the English speaking exec-suite “wanna be’s”. Naturally, with so much noise, one normal reader does not stand a chance to read even 10% of these.
Therefore the questions is – what makes “8 Steps to High Performance – Focus on What You Can Change” a book worth reading?
If you ask me, first is the author – Marc Effron. He is not only a relatively well known talent consultant, but also a refreshingly direct person. Marc Effron does not pretend he is reinventing the career management- instead, he states he relies on the old-fashioned approach of synthesizing significantly tested HR theories into easy to follow steps to improving one’s career.
Secondly, “8 Steps to High Performance – Focus on What You Can Change” comes fully grounded on the business realities of today. I would be hard pressed to quote anything odd or impossible to apply from the book – which makes it more of a high school career handbook than anything else.
There are also things that weigh “8 Steps to High Performance – Focus on What You Can Change” a bit down. Today there comes the moment when we should spend some time thinking and working on our personal development. Not randomly, not by trial and error. Rather, by using a conscious and results oriented approach – this is where Marc Effron and his talent development philosophy enters the scene.
I am not sure if this is a bonus point or not – but Marc Effron does a lot of internal selling relative to his concept. As a consultant to many organizations, Effron has for sure the experience and the clout to do so. His directness is both refreshing and boasting in the same time. He states that he is bringing no new revolutionary concepts – rather he applies a refining process again and again (to thousands of sources, from articles to TED or conferences) to the books‘ main ideas. Thus, after several years of work, he managed to distillate the eight principles – as well as testing them in practical situations.
The book does not stop here with the disclosures. It applies some academic principles into the distillation principles, classifying the statements made by various organizational and authors into 3 categories. It does not disavow 2 of these categories, but it goes without saying that using during the book only the 3rd („proven science“, i.e. statements formally made and tested over a statistical relevant no of cases) is more reliable. Now, I would not go so far as to test his testing (the book is not an academic one after all) – but of course, talking about HR and psychology, theories evolve over time, as well as the approaches.
– focus/time conscious advice (e.g. 50/50 influencing skills / circle of influence type of approach) etc.
Marc Effron looks at the eight high-performance principles from an action-oriented perspective. His book is a constant reminder that whilst there will always be „implicit“ high performers, few of them are 90-100% genuine. We tend to learn how to advance our career from self-learning and from various uncoordinated sources – which is at best a slow tedious trail-and-error process, similar to the 19th century apprenticeships. His book tries to correct this approach – in a surprisingly condensed manner. This is why I would recommend its lecture to the same audience that Marc Effron does – simply those purely interested in advancing their career in an efficient way.

Back in 2012, Wells County Public Library did a marketing evaluation and came to the conclusion that there was a lot of inconsistency in how the library was being presented to the public. Not only that, but the current logo wasn’t doing a good job of presenting the current library, and marketing was too book-focused. Surveys and focus groups later, the tagline “Go-To Spot” and an in-house logo was created. The more cohesive theme was then applied across the board from the redesigned website and newsletter to business cards, staff shirts and letterhead. You’ll find a few examples of these below, but the full details are the award submission document.
After the rebranding process, the library saw an increase in issuing new library cards, circulation, database searches, web hits, and wi-fi connections.
Congratulations to WCPL on their award win.

Hamilton's TSN Radio 1150 has cancelled their afternoon drive show, which means Jim Tatti has been relieved of his duties there. Jim is still contributing to Leafs games on Toronto's TSN Radio 1050, however.
I used to love watching Jim Tatti and Mark Hebscher on Global's Sportsline. That was appointment viewing for me, and now I get to co-host Hebsy's excellent Hebsy on Sports podcast. Hebsy put yesterday's episode on YouTube, so sample this ep and if you like what you hear you should subscribe to the podcast at HebsyOnSports.com.
And yes, I've reached out to Jim and invited him to come on Toronto Mike'd. Last time he said no, but this time he said he may come on later this year. That's progress!
Tatti would be amazing to come on. Wash, rinse, repeat when it comes to senior, more experienced broadcasters who are paid accordingly when it comes to the local stations on radio.
If somehow you had Tatti on, and he was cool with Hebsy making a cameo during it, that would be beyond words, as like you, I cut my teeth on Toronto sports with both of them, would never miss them.
Lol, so true! The world demands it, and deserves to see this happen.
TSN Hamilton was just that, a local station promoting a mix of local/pro sports (they did love the T-Cats) with local guys with the TSN banner.
Guess TSN sided with its main Afternoon Drive show from TO. You can only take so much of this crew, though, Hayes cowers to his base, "Leaf Nation". Half the time they are talking about nothing.
Tatti is a professional. He knows what he is talking about, knows how to deliver, & keeps it fresh.
He should partner with Perry Lefko. When those 2 are on it is highly entertaining.

In a large pan, brown the pork belly on medium-low heat for about 5-10 minutes. You want to do this fairly slow so that the fat (oh yes...the delicious pork fat!) has a chance to render while the meat stays soft. Cooking this on too high of a heat will toughen the pork belly.
Once browned, add the cabbage, apple, onion, garlic, celery and toss throughout the pork so that the vegetables become coated in the fat. Turn the heat down to medium, and add the apple cider vinegar. Continue to toss and stir fry until the the liquid has reduced, and the cabbage has reached either the tender crisp stage, or is soft to your liking. You can also put a lid over the pan for a few minutes to steam the cabbage to soften it. You want to stir fry at least for 15 minutes in order to allow the flavours to marry. This is where the simplicity of this dish wows - apples, pork and cabbage are divine as a combination . No wonder they are found in so many cuisines!
You know that I am going to make this!

dc.identifier.citation Vinci, S. and Smith, A. and Ranelli, S. 2015. Selected Physical Characteristics and Playing-Related Musculoskeletal Problems in Adolescent String Instrumentalists. Medical problems of performing artists. 30 (3): pp. 143-151.
PURPOSE: Music research has investigated the prevalence of playing-related musculoskeletal problems in adults and children, but the prevalence in adolescents has not been established. String instrumentalists report high problem rates, though it is unclear whether rates vary between upper and lower strings in adolescent instrumentalists. Further, there is limited evidence for the association between physical characteristics and playing problems in this group of musicians. METHODS: Seventy-six adolescent string musicians from the West Australian Youth Orchestras were surveyed. Their experience of playing problems, both symptoms (PRMS) and disorders (PRMD), within the last month and measurements of body mass index, hand span, and joint mobility (Beighton scale) were obtained. Prevalence rates were calculated and compared between upper and lower string instrumentalists using a chi-squared test. Logistic regression examined the association of physical measures with playing problems, adjusting for confounding factors. RESULTS: Within the last month, 73.5% participants reported experiencing a PRMS and 26.5% reported experiencing a PRMD. There was no significant difference between the problem rates in upper and lower string instrumentalists. After adjusting for potential confounders, an increasing count of hypermobile joints remained significantly associated with problems (OR 1.76, CI 1.02 to 3.04, p=0.042). CONCLUSIONS: This study found playing problems are common in adolescent string instrumentalists, though rates did not differ between upper and lower string players. Joint hypermobility was associated with playing-related problems in adolescent musicians. Early identification of problems in this group of maturing musicians may help prevent disabling disorders and maximize performance.

Severe Sanctions will be initiated against companies that are too white in South Africa and defaulters dealt with.
The Department of Labour has started to fine companies which are “too white” according to the Employment Equity Act (EEA).
Affirmative Action, which falls under the EEA, aims to ensure that qualified designated groups – black people, women, and people with disabilities – are equally represented in the workplace.
This law forces employers to makes sure it has the right proportion of designated people – black, coloured, Indian, female, and disabled people – at all levels of an organisation.
In August 2017, the Department of Labour announced a crackdown on companies to ensure that they comply with the act.
At the time the department said six JSE-listed companies had been found to be non-compliant and were referred for prosecution.
Rapport has now reported that the Department of Labour is prosecuting 44 companies for breaking Affirmative Action laws.
According to the report, five of these companies have paid fines, while the rest of the companies are facing fines of R1.5 million each.
Some of the companies listed as not complying with the law include Sibanye Gold, Denel, and the Tshwane Metro.

Scientists have identified a new species of a strange marine mammal group that lived on the Pacific Coast between 33 million years ago and 10 million years ago. The new specimens — from at least four individuals — were recovered from Unalaska, in theAleutians.
Their strange columnar teeth and odd style of eating don’t occur in any other mammal. They rooted around coastlines, ripping up vegetation, such as marine algae, sea grass and other near-shore plants.
The new species, 23 million years old was a big, hippo-sized animal with a long snout and tusks, It has a unique tooth and jaw structure that indicates it was not only a vegetarian, but literally sucked vegetation from shorelines like a vacuum cleaner, said vertebrate paleontologist and study co-author Louis L. Jacobs, Southern Methodist University, Dallas.
They probably swam like polar bears, using their strong front limbs to power along. On land, they would have had the lumbering gait of a sloth.
A large, stocky-limbed mammal, desmos’ modern relatives remain a mystery. Scientists have previously linked the animals perhaps to manatees, horses or elephants. Adult desmostylians were large enough to be relatively safe from predators.
The identification of a new species belonging to Desmostylia has intensified the rare animal’s brief mysterious journey through prehistoric time, according to the new study.
While alive, the newly discovered creatures lived in what is now Unalaska’s Dutch Harbor.
To eat, the animals buttressed their lower jaw with their teeth against the upper jaw, and used the powerful muscles that attached there, along with the shape of the roof of their mouth, to suction-feed vegetation from coastal bottoms. Big muscles in the neck would help to power their tusks, and big muscles in the throat would help with suction.
The new specimens also represent a new genus — meaning desmostylians in the same family diverged from one anoher in key physical characteristics, particularly the tooth and jaw structure, said Jacobs, who is one of 10 scientists collaborating on the research.
Discovery of a new genus and species indicates the desmostylian group was larger and more diverse than previously known, said paleontologist and co-author Anthony Fiorillo, vice president of research and collections and chief curator at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, Dallas, and an adjunct research professor at SMU.
“Our new study shows that though this group of strange and extinct mammals was short-lived, it was a successful group with greater biodiversity than had been previously realized,” Fiorillo said.
Compared to other mammals, desmos were latecomers and didn’t appear on earth until fairly recently — 33 million years ago. Also unusual for mammals, they survived a mere 23 million years, dying out 10 million years ago.
The research was funded by the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, U.S. National Park Service – Alaska Region Office, and SMU’s Institute for the Study of Earth and Man.
The newest desmo made its home on Unalaska Island, the farthest north of any occurrence of the group, which only lived along the shores of the North Pacific.
“That’s the only place they’re known in the world,” Jacobs said. The Unalaska fossils represent at least four individuals, and one is a baby.
In addition, “the baby also tells us that this area along the Alaska coast was biologically productive enough to make it a good place for raising a family,” said Fiorillo.
Just as cattle assemble in a herd, and a group of fish is a school, multiple desmostylians constitute a “troll” — a designation selected by Jacobs to honor Alaskan Ray Troll, the artist who has depicted desmos most.
The first Unalaska fossils were discovered in the 1950s in a rock quarry during U.S. Geological Survey mapping.
Others found more recently were on display at the Ounalashka Corporation headquarters. Those specimens were offered to Fiorillo and Jacobs for study after Fiorillo gave a public presentation to the community on his work in Alaska.
From there, the researchers discovered that the fossils were a new genus and species.
The researchers named the new mammal Ounalashkastylus tomidai. “Ounalashka,” means “near the peninsula” in the Aleut language of the indigenous people of the Aleutian Islands.
“Stylus” is from the Latin for “column” and refers to the shape of cusps in the teeth.
“Tomida” honors distinguished Japanese vertebrate paleontologist Yukimitsu Tomida.
The article appears in a special volume of Historical Biology to honor the career accomplishments of Tomida upon his retirement from the Department of Geology and Paleontology in Tokyo’s National Museum of Nature and Science.
In addition to Jacobs, Fiorillo and Polcyn, other authors were Yosuke Nishida, SMU; Yuri Kimura, Smithsonian Institution and the Tokyo Museum; Kentaro Chiba, University of Toronto; Yoshitsugu Kobayashi, Hokkaido University Museum, Naoki Kohno, National Museum of Nature and Science; and Kohei Tanaka, University of Calgary.

Has your doctor talked to you yet about the shingles vaccine? If you're over 60, chances are, you've heard the spiel plenty. Yes, the CDC recommends everyone over 60 to get it. Yes, they say it cuts your shingles risk by about 55 percent.
Secondly, I am deeply skeptical about the vaccine's long-term safety. In my book, all vaccinations are suspect until they've been monitored for decades. We just don't know enough about the shingles vaccine. It's only been around for a few years. Who knows about its long- term effects!
I got them once upon a time when I worked on a cruise ship as a medical doctor. (Skip all the "paging Doctor Bricker" Love Boat jokes, please!) It was great to travel the world, but it forced me to get poor dental care at one of the more exotic ports of call. On top of that, I got the flu. Plus, since I was the only MD aboard, I still had to stay up late most nights treating my patients. Talk about a stressful situation. Well, next thing I knew, I woke up with a stabbing, painful shingles rash.
When you get chickenpox, the itchy spots go away, but the virus never leaves your body. It lies dormant in your nerve roots. Then, years later, the virus suddenly wakes up and you get the painful shingles rash.
Usually, you first notice a burning pain around your mid-section. It can also strike your face, as mine did. Next, the tell-tale rash appears at the site of the pain. Then, the rash blisters and crusts form. The crusts usually fall off in two to three weeks.
Most conventional docs try to treat shingles with anti-viral medications. But these may only shorten the virus by a day or two. Plus, you still have the pain to deal with. For that, you'll need some heavy-duty pain killers. Anti-inflammatory meds won't cut it.
And neither will the vaccine.
The good news is there's something else works even better. It significantly shortens the duration of the attack. Plus, it's all natural.
Vitamin B12 is hands down the best way to get over shingles. I've seen nothing else work as well or as fast. It goes directly to the nerve root to attack the zoster virus. Ask your doctor for an intra-muscular shot that contains 1 mg of B-12. Get one shot each day for a week or until the symptoms completely disappear.
Over the years, I treated plenty of shingles patients with B12 shots. And when my dear old dad got shingles when I was in med school, he flew out to see me so I could give him B12 shots. This method shortens the outbreak like nothing else.
But you can also take B12 to prevent to prevent shingles. Go for 500 mcg of sublingual B12 (under the tongue) each day. This will keep your nerve cells healthy and help prevent the zoster virus from ever "waking up."
It disrupts your body's lysine-arginine ratio. You see, lysine competes with arginine in the body. The more lysine you take, the less arginine available to your body. And that's not a good thing.
Arginine is an amino acid that stimulates your growth hormone. It also plays an important role in cell division, wound healing, and immune function. Plus, in supplement form, high doses of lysine may raise cholesterol levels and increase the risk of gallstones.
The good news is you can treat and prevent shingles without resorting to a sketchy vaccine. Don't let your regular MD tell you otherwise!

Dromore hosted Newington Rangers in the Clarence Cup on Saturday December 6, which ended 5 v 4 on penalties to Newington in another crazy game between the two clubs.
Dromore started on fire which was unusual for them and took the lead within the first minute when N.Curran took a short free kick to K.Bain who shot past the keeper from 25 yards.
This goal settled Dromore down and started to pass the ball about.
Newington were gradually getting back into the game but the Dromore back line of A.Compton, S.Henderson, J.Lochart, A. Henderson with N.Thompson in goals were dealing with what was being thrown at them.
The Dromore midfield of N.Curran, W. McMurray and J.Beattie were controlling the play and Dromore were well on top in the opening 25 minutes before a lapse in concentration allowed the Newington winger to send in a cross which saw the striker nip in behind J.Lochart and draw Newington level.
The equaliser shocked Dromore but they knuckled down and restored their lead just before half time when a N.Curran free kick was put away by P.Tinsley with a great header at the back post.
The second half started with Dromore again in control and it didn’t take them long to get a third when good work in the box by J.Beattie resulted in him being brought down and he tucked away the penalty.
Dromore should have pushed on from this but they went flat and allowed Newington back into the game. A few changes were made with T.Stewart, C . Gilliland coming on for Dromore.
With 15 minutes remaining Newington were awarded a penalty when N.Thompson in goal was judged to have brought down the Newington player much to the dismay of the Dromore players.
The penalty was tucked away to make it 3-2 with 10 minutes remaining.
Dromore made their final change with five minutes left bringing on B.Lavery.
With the 90 minutes up Newington had a final corner and it was from this that they scored the equaliser.
With the match now into extra time there were few chances for either team in the 20 minutes which then moved into the lottery of a penalty shoot out.
Dromore missed the first and only penalty miss out of the 10 taken to see Newington progress to the next round.
Dromore would like to wish Newington Rangers all the best in the next round.
As of going to press Dromore had no fixture details for December 13.
Team. N.Thompson, J.Lochart, A. Compton, S.Henderson, A. Henderson, N.Curran, W. McMurray, J.Beattie, K.Bain, C.Mallon, P.Tinsley, B.Lavery, C .Gilliland, T.Stewart.

Creative Belli Blog challenge #99: pull out the dusty old stamps. This stamp is from Rubber Cottage and I think I probably bought it at the first stamp convention I attended in Kansas City... when would that have been? 2002? It's been put away for quite a while! HERE is a direct link to the set. I stamped the image in Versafine ink and watercolored with Derwent WC pencils. I used Neopiko markers for a bolder red. Can't wait for my Inktense pencils to come!
Stampin' for the Weekend challenge #46: Shabby or Vintage. The duotone look reminds me of a vintage story book, and the corrugated paper and rayon seam binding add to the shab.
Stamp Something challenge: Spots and Stripes. The spots (CAC Large from Impression Obsession) are stamped in white acrylic paint.
Simple Doodles challenge #26: color me with Dots.
Crazy 4 Challenges challenge #54: use the colors Red, Kraft, and Black. BTW, I loved making the sails red - I just finished reading Red Sails to Capri with my daughter - such a great book.
I cut a small tag from the corrugated paper, and stamped a small saying from the Flourishes Strawberry set on it.
I had fun making this card...... hope you like it, too!
What a wonderful scene!! Since my favorite color is RED, this card appeals to me on TWO levels!! Great job! Thanks so much for joinging us in the Belli Challenge.
Gorgeous Dina! I love the little spots of color in the image - so elegant!
This is quite a beauty!! Love it!
Love your textures ..they really add to the "beachy" feel....it's a beauty!
Beautiful card really a cutie! Thanks for sharing your lovely creation with us over at Stamp Something this week.
This is gorgeous! I just want to go where that place is in the stamped image!
Your card is fabulous....great distressed look and you coloring is very lovely!!

The Commission for Forensic Nursing Certification (CFNC) currently offers two professional credentials: the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner-Adult/Adolescent (SANE-A®) and the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner-Pediatric (SANE-P®). Both credentials are recognized by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's (ANCC) Magnet Program®. From 2012-2017, the CFNC collaborated with the American Nurses Credentialing Center to offer its credential by portfolio in Advanced Forensic Nursing.
The earned credentials of SANE-A® and SANE-P® designate that the recipient has achieved the highest standards of forensic nursing for sexual assault nurse examiners. Nurse examiners initially become certified by meeting the eligibility requirements and achieving a passing score on the certification examination. Certification renewal is available by either examination or a requisite amount of documented continuing education activity over a three-year period. Learn more by accessing the most current versions of the SANE Certification Examination Handbook and the SANE Certification Renewal Handbook, available through the certification exam and renewal webpages.
A nurse who earns certification through whatever means demonstrates commendable professional commitment. By exerting the additional effort to become certified in his or her specialty, a nurse demonstrates a firm desire to provide quality patient care. Becoming certified is a potent statement: that a nurse has accepted the challenge of preparing for, demonstrating a refined knowledge of, and exercising critical thinking skills in, his or her nursing specialty practice.

"cattle89pg28-30" by R.C. Cochran, E.S. Vanzant et al.
Two levels of sorghum grain supplementation (2 or 4 lb/day) for"¢steers in an intensive-early stocking program tended to increase average daily gain in direct proportion to increasing supplement level (2.7 and 2.9 lb/day. respectively, compared to 2.5 lb with no supplement). Similarly, grass remaining in the pastures after the cattle were removed on July 15, and at the end of the growing season on October 1, was greater when cattle were supplemented.
