Learn a little about the differences between French Lavender vs English lavender including a few of my favorite varieties.
I was recently fortunate enough to receive this gorgeous French lavender plant from my sister-in-law. It smells so great and looks so pretty. As a tender perennial, hardy only to zone 8, I’ll need to keep it as a houseplant, though I’ll probably move it outside for the summer.
French lavender has the scientific name Lavandula dentata where dentata translates to “toothed” referring to the scallops on the leaves as shown above and is sometimes confused with Spanish lavender or Lavandula stoechas.
Spanish lavender has similar flowers but they are showier than French lavender and their leaves are not scalloped but straight like English lavender. Neither French or Spanish lavender is used much today in cosmetics but they are valued more for their ornamental use.
If you live in the north, you may want to plant English lavender or Lavandula angustifolia. I have grown several plants over the years and it is one of the toughest plants in the garden.
Munstead, named after Munstead Woods in England, the home of famous gardener Gertrude Jeckyl, is hardy to zone 5. It has a great mounding shape and gets about roughly 1.5 feet tall and wide. This lovely plant is also drought tolerant and deer resistant.
In addition, bees love it, it works great as a cut flower, can be dried for use in many crafts, and is even used in cooking. Did you know lavender can help you sleep? Check out an article I wrote last year about ways to use lavender in the home here.
Munstead’s cousin, Hidcote is pretty much the same except that it is slightly smaller and much deeper in color.
Here is some that I dried from last year.
Note: if you want to dry your lavender make sure you pick it in bud form. If you wait too long it will flower like the pic above and will not keep well.
The important thing to remember about English lavender is that they like well-drained soil. Most can take cool temps but not soggy feet so make sure you plant them accordingly. Also, at the beginning of the season prune them a little and thin out the middle. This will allow for plenty of airflow.
Bottom line; whether it’s English or French, lavender is a wonderful plant, and everyone should be growing it.
Thank you so much for the information! I am very new to herb gardening! I live in central Florida, zone 9 and literally 6 months ago, I would have told you that I have a black thumb. I am successfully growing oregano, basil, mint, thyme, lemon verbena, and a few others. I couldn’t find lavender plants so I bought burpee seeds. I have planted them one week ago inside and am very hopeful. Can I leave them outside year round or should I bring them in? I will have to check out your other articles! I appreciate all the help I can get!
Since you live in such a warm climate you shouldn’t have to bring you lavender in for the winter. Make sure that there is plenty of air flow since you could have a mildew issue with the high humidity. You can accomplish this by keeping the lavender pruned as needed to allow air between the branches.
I’m getting ready to purchase some lavender for the top of my herb spiral this season. Last year my rosemary grew really well up there, so I’m going to try lavender this year. I think I’ll try Hidcote or Munstead like you suggested. I’m a fellow member of the Garden Foxes and I’m going to share this post on my FB page this week!
Thanks Megan. If you had success there with the rosemary, I believe there’s a good chance that lavender will do well too. You’re a little colder in Madison but not so much. Hidcote and/or Munstead should be fine unless we have one of those arctic freezes like we did a year or so ago. That was the only time I lost some of my lavender but not all of it?
Thanks Patti. Your article was very timely for me. I haven’t had much luck with lavender here in CT, but I keep trying. I saw what looked like Spanish lavender in Walmart the other day and thought about giving it a try. I bought a 4″ pot of Hidcote from a local greenhouse a few weeks ago. It already threw a few blooms, which I cut off, trying to ‘hold it back’ till the plant gets a bit bigger.
I’ve been planting them in sunniest part of my property, which gets a lot of wind in the winter. Perhaps this is what keeps doing them in. I may wrap them in burlap this winter and see if this helps.
Hidcote and Munstead grow best for me in Southwest PA which is similar to CT. Not sure if the wind is the problem. A couple of other things to consider. Make sure they are in well draining, even poor soil, and consider pruning out some of the middle if they are too bushy. The Spanish lavender will probably need to be brought indoors during the winter.
Thanks for stopping by and good luck with your lavender!
I love lavender and finally have started it successfully from seeds last year! It took several attempts before I was successful, however. I still have them in pots, but will be moving them into the garden soon. I’m fortunate to live in zone 8b, so I’m excited to be able to leave it outdoors all year. I experimented over the winter, bringing in two pots and leaving the third outside. We had a very mild winter, and the outside pot fared just fine.
projects I can do with it!
Thank you for sharing. I’m going to check out your other lavender post too.
Montana is considered to be in zone 3 and we have many species of lavendar! I live in west central Montana and have enjoyed all the joy of have lavendar for over 40 years.
All I can say is lucky you!! What a wonderful thing to have access too!
Interesting piece! I grew some of each this year to see the differences.
For me the English is easier to grow but they are both lovely. Thanks for stopping by Kirsten.
So great to learn about the different lavenders. I so love it!!! Thank you!
Interesting post! Recently I wrote a post about English lavender so it is exciting to read more about other species. The French lavender has gorgeous foliage. The Spanish lavender is only grown as an annual in Sweden but it is pretty.

For Havas Voyages—voted the best travel brand in term of quality of service in 2018—customer experience is paramount. Within a market that is undergoing rapid transformation, and that tends towards disintermediation, the group is leaving nothing up to chance. What lies at the root of their success? Well, they offer a premium, customised and unique customer experience, in which the relationship between each customer and their travel planner is central.
With this in mind, Havas Voyages has partnered with Critizr to help develop a customer relationship strategy that fuses digital with local. The travel planners from their 177 agencies respond to customer feedback actively, in a rapid and highly personalized manner (within 30 hours on average). In interactions with clients, these travel planners are often mentioned by name, and communication with them is very open and friendly.
By requesting feedback from clients after they join their network of agencies, often through post-visit emails with a very high response rate (33% on average), Havas Voyages ensures it is listening attentively to its broad customer base. At this point in their customer experience, the clients have typically not yet finalized their purchases: thanks to this input, they provide rich insights to Havas Voyages and its travel planners.
Even if the feedback is overall very positive, Havas Voyages also handles customer dissatisfaction via Critizr. A high level of care is given to clients who have indicated disappointment or doubt: they receive direct calls from travel planners who strive to resolve any problems that may have arisen. These interactions strengthen the close relationships forged by the brand.
« As a travel agency, we offer a very emotionally and financially engaging service. We know that customer experience is absolutely essential. Because of this, we depend very much upon the relationship between the client and the travel planner. Critizr’s solution helps us strengthen this relationship by unifying digital and local aspects of our business. Through this platform, our travel planners have highly customised interactions with their customers. Our collaboration with Critizr seems completely natural! » Coline Ponsar, CRM Manager.

We are delighted to announce that Shetland Home Co is now part of the Retail Gift Aid scheme!
Retail Gift Aid allows individuals who are UK taxpayers to donate the proceeds of sales made on their behalf by charity shops such as the Shetland Home Co, increasing the value of the donation by 25%.
Signing up for the Retail Gift Aid scheme is easy to do; donors must complete a Gift Aid Declaration form, available from the Shetland Home Co. When a donor signs up to the Gift Aid scheme they are confirming that the Shetland Home Co will act as their agent to sell their goods and agreeing to the charity keeping the net proceeds of the sale of the goods. Each donor is given a Gift Aid donor card with a unique ID number and all donated items are labelled with that number to enable Shetland Home Co to record the sales value. The donor is notified by email or letter if the proceeds of the sale of their goods are above £100. All donors will also be sent an annual statement informing them of the total amount raised from selling their goods.
Shetland Home Co’s function is to Re-use and Recycle household items in Shetland with the aim of reducing waste. Their skilled team – REVOLVE accredited by Zero Waste Scotland, maximise this aim by carrying out small repairs, PAT testing all electrical items and ensuring all items are checked to a high standard, and in good working order before sale.
Shetland Home Co Business Manager, Louise Watson said “We are delighted to be part of the Retail Gift Aid scheme and makes every donation count even more. Its’s an amazing way for charities like us to increase the value of the donations at no extra cost to the donors, just by allowing us to claim Gift Aid. Plus signing up is so simple, customers don’t have to worry about giving personal information, it won’t cost a penny and the cash raised can make a huge difference to the life of our Social Enterprise”.

Gaia Fugazza’s work is primarily interested in the routines and choices that shape daily life. Figurative images relating to intimate yet common scenes are set in intriguing and highly textured pictorial spaces. Bodies touch and gesture in delicate layers of pigment on glass, and in lines scratched into wood and filled with wax. An aesthetic and narrative emerges that is set in a deliberately ambiguous time and place.
For her Invites exhibition Fugazza presents new and recent work informed by her experiences of motherhood, travel and the process of making objects. This personal body of work is also an open-ended reflection on how circumstances determine our actions. In a work on plywood titled Lots of Choice (2015) a black frame and small swiping hands recall the way Fugazza’s young son resisted ‘full screen’ options when watching Peppa Pig online. Instead he preferred to keep open the possibility of clicking on other options. Fugazza folds this observation into her wider concern with the idea of contemporary distraction.
A large glass sheet, responding to the proportions of the gallery space, has been pasted with a frame of delicate red pigment and paper to form a window through to the other pieces on show. This screen, with its curved corners, also evokes the form of mobile devices. Rather than merely commenting on the impact of technology on our lives, Fugazza instead tests out processes that might question our relationship to notions of productivity. Making pigments in the studio from raw materials, both foraged and purchased from shops, Fugazza experiments with methods of production. That this might involve wrong turns and different types of waste, is an intrinsic part of her wry look at how ideas of both newness and a certain ancient authenticity are readily co-opted, packaged and consumed.
Gaia Fugazza (b. 1985, Milan, Italy) completed an MA Fine Art, Chelsea College of Arts, London, 2014. Recent solo exhibitions include Studiolo #9, Spazio Cabinet, Milan, Shikinen Sengu, Nuova Icona, Venice, both 2013, and La quadratura del sasso, Room Galleria, Milan, 2012. In 2015, her work was included in Mediterranea, Young Artists Biennale, Fabbrica del Vapore, Milan, The London Open 2015, Whitechapel Gallery, London; Hrm199 Ltd, Museum Tinguely, Basel, and Studio Voltaire Open 2015, Studio Voltaire, London.

i have a question i cant get the gear box of by buddys 63 nova whats da trick?
doing good here. Now you want to remove or find a box? Remove, pop the pitman arm(easier on car sometimes),disco the rag joint and undo the bolts to the frame.Becarefull on the last step, gravity usually takes over.
well the front end is already apart so are the frame bolts. so i just need to remove the pitman arm and rag joints?
after that you can remove the steering box after removing the pitman arm of course.
the steering box of a 1962-1966 extend up to the steering wheel due to a very long shaft that is part of the box.
hope it clears the issue you are having with its removal.

Can’t believe week 3 has come and gone! My mom and I completed 21 miles this week, which is crazy because at the height of our Brooklyn Half training we were at a high of 23-25 miles per week. So we will definitely be doing a lot more running, clearly, for this marathon cycle.
I just really hope my shins cooperate and allow me to run more than I have in the past!
Which is why I have been wearing PRO Compression socks on my runs, and my 110% Compression socks for recovery and during sleep.
4 miles. We decided to do this on the treadmill because it was feeling like over 100 degrees outside. I hate treadmill running but in order to make it go by faster I like doing hill intervals, like this.
5 miles. We did this outside but on shaded back roads. My sister was house sitting, so we had a pool we could cool off in. We mapped out 2.5 miles and did an out and back. Jumping in a pool post-run is awesome!
4 miles on an out and back around where we are staying in Myrtle Beach. I loved running in temperature that is a bit cooler and with less humidity…and a nice ocean breeze! I averaged 1 minute per mile faster than I have been usually in the crazy heat. But my shins were hurting so thank goodness I have an off day today. I found a golf course and ran about a half mile on this…reminded me of the good ol’ cross country days! Will have to go back and run here again.
Time to enjoy the beach and relax!
Do you make sure to get your training in on vacation? What’s your favorite way to relax?

Now, depending on your budget, the city has a wide variety of accommodations ranging from inexpensive lodging houses to luxury five-star resorts. However, if you want to experience the real Amsterdam in all her urban glory, we suggest you take a trip to the Yays Crane Apartment – a refurbished 1950s crane restored and later converted to a high-end sophisticated living space sometime in 2017.
Yays Crane is situated in the crane’s original location of the Eastern Docklands offering a stellar view of the IJ River flowing alongside. The place is open all-year round and is a popular vacationing spot for young couples and solo travelers alike. Read on to know more about this fascinating hotel and the reasons why it should be on your bucket list this holiday season.
Ever dreamed of sleeping in a crane that’s set high above the ground amidst the ships and the sea? The Yays Crane Apartments in Amsterdam gives you a first-hand experience of what it would feel like to live in a crane. Don’t worry, you’ll be pretty comfortable inside. The crane, now renovated into a three-story living space, looks more like a luxury apartment than a hotel. It is the ultimate experience for people interested in history and architecture.
The hotel is set in the Eastern section of Amsterdam, which was the epicenter of trade in the 19th century. Even today, the harbor attracts a lot of international trade from neighboring and distant countries like Thailand, Malaysia, and America. Yays Apartment feels like a trip back in time when things were a lot simpler and peaceful. It takes you far away from the din of the main city and yet offers all the possible luxuries you’d expect of a five-star resort.
Yays has a very interesting story behind its construction. The looming, magnificent structure you see today was but a crane back in 1957. On 21st November 1944, a German Sprengcommando attacked and destroyed the cranes harbored along the IJ River in Amsterdam. After the Second World War, the Royal Dutch Steamboat Company, KNSM, was commissioned to construct new cranes that served to facilitate trade relations between Amsterdam and the rest of the world. KNSM ceased their activities in 1979. Ever since then the Eastern Docklands were reduced to a strip of grassy pathways, railroads, and warehouses.
Sometime in 1975, the municipality decided to finally demolish all the deteriorating cranes and turn the abandoned docks into a residential space. They spared one crane, a 2868 Figeecrane, built in 1958, that was located at the Surinamekade on KNSM-Island. The restoration of the crane was initiated by a local resident in partnership withYaysConcierge Boutique Apartments, the Conservation of Historic Buildings and Sites and the municipality. And in January 2016, the crane was refurbished by an Amsterdam-based architect and interior designer Edward van Vliet. He transformed the crane into the modern, chic apartment we see today.
The architecture of Yays Crane is the fascinating aspect of the hotel. Not because of its rich history and heritage (of course, that plays a major part), but because of the wonderful contradictions, it poses. Rising 50 meters from the ground, the 40m2 apartment is designed as three repurposed containers that are stacked on top of one another to form a quirky and solid structure. The tall, magnificent crane looms in stark contrast with the background of the dockyard, yet it somehow seems to belong there. The basic design of the crane is deliberately kept untouched and close to its original design to provide authenticity to the hotel. Guests can get a feel of the crane’s history and enjoy the comforts of a luxury hotel at the same time.
Yays Crane features a huge metallic and plastic construction, the actual living quarters are set on the lower side of the crane. The bright blue wooden cabin of sorts set on an elevated platform. Guests can access the rooms indoors via a sturdy industrial-grade staircase outside. The apartment is divided into three floors and can house a maximum of four people at a time. The living room and kitchen are set on the first floor. There are two bedrooms and a spacious bathroom set on the two floors above. The entire structure overlooks the IJ River and offers a stunning view of the Amsterdam skyline.
The exterior architecture of Yays Crane is at complete odds with what you’d find inside. While on the outside, the hotel looks like a quirky metallic crane; on the inside it resembles a modern apartment. There are two bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room and kitchenette along with a small patio and open terrace on the top floors of the hotel. The kitchen and guest room are situated on the first floor while the bedrooms are housed on the higher levels. The rooms are all thoughtfully furnished and decorated in neutral shades. The living room includes a comfy couch, a coffee table, lounge chairs and a flat-screen TV. There’s a mahogany dining table for four set right beside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The kitchen is equipped with all the high-tech amenities like a refrigerator, an oven, cooker, dishwasher and plenty of utensils for a comfortable stay.
The master bedroom on the second floor comes with a queen-sized double bed, loads of pillows and a side table. The second bedroom is located on the topmost floor and opens up to a small patio that overlooks the harbor. The bathroom is on the second floor, however, there is a small toilet attached to the bedroom on the third floor as well.
The vibrant city of Amsterdam is peppered with intricate canals and breath-taking architecture. You’d find a museum or an artistic coffee shop in almost every corner! Yays Crane Apartment though set on the Eastern side is well-connected to the main city via roadways and railroads. It is 2.7kms from the Central Station and roughly 3.1kms fromBeurs van Berlage. You can either choose to stay indoors and bask in the solitude of the apartment or head out to explore the city. When indoors, you are completely left to your own devices, there aren’t any staff or housekeeping to assist you. Sleep in, watch movies, cuddle up with your partner or just enjoy the breath-taking view of the river through the glass windows. It is pure bliss inside!
The more outgoing and adventurous guests can check out the numerous tourist attractions of the city. Amsterdam is a city for art lovers and the history buffs. The Rembrandtplein, the Flower Market is but a 30-minute drive from the hotel. Other popular landmarks include the Basilica of St. Nicholas, CarreTheater, Dam Square, Anne Frank House, and the Van Gough Museum – all an hour’s drive away.
The millennial traveler doesn’t just want a cozy, homely lodging space. He is looking for an accommodation that is unique, luxurious and quirky. The Yays Crane apartments in Amsterdam pretty much fit the bill. It is one of those rare places where you can experience nature whilst being steeped in urban chic architecture. This holiday season; chuck the beachside resorts for a night inside a refurbished crane by the dockyard. It will elevate your stay in Amsterdam – literally!

So many caregivers hear that they should be spending time doing things for themselves, but the mechanics of that are a mystery. How do you go about taking any time just for you?
Homecare Naples FL – How Do You Schedule Time for Yourself?
Your first instinct might be that you’ll worry about taking time for yourself after you’ve done all the other things that you have to do. What you’ll quickly find out, though, is that your needs will continue to be at the bottom of your priority list. When you put them at the top of the priority list, you’re more likely to get what you need which allows you to give others what they need.
Starting small is a good rule of thumb with all sorts of habit changes. It’s equally important when you’re starting to schedule time for yourself. Figuring out how to eke out an hour for you right now is likely not feasible. Five minutes, on the other hand, can be a different story.
The next step is to make this an actual appointment with yourself. Putting an appointment in your day planner or in your electronic calendar for “2:00 PM – 2:05 PM: Tea on the back porch” makes this a real event. When you leave time for yourself in the realm of vague events that might happen, they stay vague and probably won’t happen.
Whatever you do during the time that you schedule for yourself, don’t do any chores. That’s completely the opposite of what you’re aiming for with this, so no folding laundry or unloading the dishwasher. Your only job during that time is to do something for yourself.
Something that helps quite a bit, especially when you’re working up to longer periods of time away, is to get some backup in place. Homecare providers are able to take on your caregiving duties so that you can shift your focus. This can be immensely helpful when you’re starting out and taking five minute breaks, too. When you know you don’t have to worry about your aging family member, you can take that time that you need.
If you’re not scheduling in time for yourself already, you need to be doing so. It’s something that you really can’t keep overlooking if you want to stick with caregiving for very long. When you do make self-care and time for yourself a priority that one action is going to benefit every area of your life, not just caregiving, so it’s worth the effort of figuring all this out.

Another week and another Ironman Championship, this time Ironman Brazil took on the role for Latin America. Like the other championship races the title comes with 75 Kona slots for age groupers, the maximum available at any Ironman event. Race day itself was fast – not just for the pros – with some of the fastest age group performances seen at this event.
Comparing median splits back to previous races and while the 2015 swim was largely on par with past races, bike and run splits tended to be much faster. This is most obvious in the pro field where times dropped significantly, but it’s also evident across the majority of age groups too. Bike times are most consistently lower which suggests conditions must have been favourable. Run times also show a dip too, so the benefits on the bike likely carried through to the run.
The same pattern of improved bike and run times is clear when we compare split distributions. The shift is most evident at the mid pack on both bike and run, with their respective median times around 10-15 minutes faster for the whole field. At the front of the pack, the top 5% there is still an improvement, but to a smaller degree. With both bike and run trending faster the finishing times naturally follow and the median here falls in the region of 30 minutes faster than the aggregate value. As I’ll note in the next chart there has been one slow year that perhaps helps drag the aggregate values down though.
Checking times for different age group finishers over the last 9 years gives some sense of where this year’s race stands. Times for the last three year’s of racing are actually quite similar although in many cases 2015 does take the lead. It’s a close run thing with last year’s race though which was also noted as a fast running of the event. Of note is the exceptionally slow times in 2011, a blip for a race that otherwise looks to be trending slightly faster each year.
The front of each age group reinforces that 2015 was a particularly fast year, in many cases with times being the fastest seen at Ironman Brazil. There’s some variation of course and some competition from 2014 results too. Kona qualifying times, particularly in the major male age groups are very competitive with little to distinguish first from fifth or tenth even. A handful of age groupers also dipped under the 9 hour mark.
As usual a spreadsheet of the full results and splits from Ironman Brazil 2015 is available on my Google Drive.

After the story broke, the Bush campaign contacted the Daily Caller to explain that Bush is a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment and that he wasn’t trying to argue that states have the right to limit the 2nd Amendment.
Governor Bush is a strong 2nd amendment advocate and reiterated his view that the federal government should not be passing new gun control laws. He believes in states rights and as Governor of Florida he used the 10th Amendment to expand gun rights with a “Six Pack of Freedom” bill and received an A+ ratings from the NRA.
While I appreciate what Governor Bush was trying to say in the interview, that the states are supposed to have as much power as the federal government (thus creating our federal system), on this issue, he is wrong. See, that’s the whole point of the Bill of Rights. It’s an enumeration of our specific rights that the federal government AND the states must respect. If the 2nd Amendment did not exist… then his 10th Amendment argument would make sense.
RELATED: Are Gun Confiscation Laws Trampling Your Civil Liberties?
Colbert wasn’t asking if the government could expand gun rights, he was saying that since the right to gun ownership is nationally mandated so too should gun laws be nationally mandated.
While Jeb tries to use a states-right argument here, he should have simply turned Colbert’s argument back on itself. Because the Constitution mandates the right to gun ownership, this means that the federal government (and the state governments) have no right legislating against gun ownership. If we can’t trust Jeb to counter a simple and easily refuted attack on the 2nd Amendment, how can we trust him with more complex issues?

The frontline contender for the Delta State House of Assembly, Warri South West constituency, Comrade Sheriff Mulade, has appealed to political office holders in Warri South-West local government area to hear the voice of God and jettison any interest alienated from all inclusive service to Warri South-West people.
During an interview with journalists, Comrade Mulade spoke on some of the trending issues, both in the state and Warri South-West. He said: “Working contrary to God’s plans for Warri South-West will be detrimental, leading to loss of greater position and opportunities”.
The Peoples Democratic Party Aspirant urged Ijaw and Itsekiri delegates to pray for divine guidance and direction to know who God has ordained to accelerate the developmental fortunes of the local government area, adding that God has ordained him to usher unparalleled development to the constituency.
Responding to interview question, Sheriff Mulade said everyone in the constituency and LGA need enlightenment and according to the Biblical scripture, my people perish for lack of knowledge. However, Sheriff Mulade is poised to upgrade and raise the educational stands as well as attract more people oriented programme to the area.
The aspirant reiterated that the keenly contested Warri South-West House of Assembly seat is meant for Ijaw and Itsekiri’s who are blessed by God to equally enjoy the benefit and the natural resources harnessed from the region if there is fair power rotation.

STEP 1: LOOK BEYOND WHAT’S OUTSIDE- Eliab, Abinadab, and David’s other brothers were tall and handsome. But all the inches and appealing features in the world could not hide a heart unworthy to be king, and Samuel had to focus on what was important. When you find yourself valuing expensive sneakers or great hair, remember what dazzles God’s eyes.
STEP 2: LOOK AT THE INSIDE- God and Samuel knew that a strong character-including honesty, brave4ry, loyalty, and wisdom-was the mark of a good king. Evidently each of David’s brothers was lacking some important quality needed to lead God’s peple. What qualities do you think God values in you and your friends?
STEP 3: LOOK AT WHAT’S IMPORANT- Seeing each of David’s brothers, Samuel might have been tempted to say, “But God, he looks so much like a king! Couldn’t we overlook his below-average heart?” But God had his own way to choose and would not bend the rules. Good qualitites are good qualities. Look for them regardless of the outside packaging.

A 2013 Wallace-commissioned report pointed to 10 principles that small, high-quality, arts-focused youth organizations appear to share. Four years later, RFA’s investigation into Wallace’s Youth Arts Initiative showed that the Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA), a multi-faceted federation of more than 4,000 clubhouses around the country, could employ these principles to create quality arts programs of its own.
But what do these programs accomplish?
A fair amount, suggests our latest report, Designing for Engagement: The Experiences of Tweens in the Boys & Girls Clubs’ Youth Arts Initiative, the second of four implementation studies about BGCA’s efforts. These programs didn’t just engage and retain the tweens they targeted–they also helped clubs increase participation in other club activities.
Start with quality; publicity will follow. Elements of quality such as dedicated spaces, professional teaching artists, near-professional equipment and high-profile culminating events created buzz in the clubs. This buzz proved to be a bigger draw to the new programs than the posters and flyers advertising them.
Buzz attracts, sparks retain. Researchers found that the new programs helped many students develop a “spark” or passion for the arts they studied. These sparks kept young people engaged; most students enrolled in intensive skill-development classes returned the following year.
Both students and clubs benefit. In interviews and surveys, families reported that students had greater discipline, drive, confidence and social competence than they did before they enrolled in the new programs. At the same time, clubs report that the students participating in arts programs increased their overall club participation, while club participation actually declined for students who weren’t in the arts programs.
But challenges remain. Clubs still have hurdles to overcome. Chief among them are complications that accompany the sizable influx of Wallace support necessary to set up the new programs, support that created some tension with other programs that operate with far fewer resources.

Matt Leary and Nikki Fisher, Principals at Solutions Insights, have created and delivered highly-customized solutions sales training, mentoring and coaching programs that have shortened the sales cycle and increased sales effectiveness for companies in a wide range of industries including telecom, high tech, professional services, and manufacturing.
Selling solutions IS different. And it is often the weak link in any solution transformation. You can develop customer-driven solutions and laser-targeted messaging, but if the sales organization isn’t prepared to find the opportunities and close the deals, much of that investment is wasted. Our singular focus on solutions gives us unique insights into the most effective ways to ensure sales can contribute fully to solutions success. And our real-world approach means we aren’t satisfied until your solutions produce the revenue and bottom-line impact they were created to deliver.
Selling solutions is too important to employ a cookie-cutter approach. Our training and mentoring programs start with a detailed assessment of the competencies and capabilities of the front-line sales teams and their management. Only then can we create a customized approach designed to improve knowledge, enhance sales skills and create lasting behavior change.
In addition to being based, as much as possible, on solution-specific selling scenarios, our training programs often involve actual customers as part of an experiential learning activity. This not only makes it “real” for the sales reps but, without exception, customers have responded very positively to the opportunity to help the sales teams become more effective partners.
Our experience — and the latest research on sales force development — have repeatedly shown that training programs that include periodic reinforcement and follow up yield substantially better results. Consequently, more than half of the sales training programs we develop involve follow-on mentoring and coaching as well as refresher workshops.
Over the last few years, many sales teams have been trained on some form of “consultative selling.” Most of these programs provide a good foundation for a customer-focused, problem-driven approach. But selling solutions requires more. To effectively sell a solution and build lasting relationships, the sales team must acquire an additional set of competencies, many of which are new or a significant expansion of their current role.
Fundamentals of Solutions Selling – Introduces junior sales teams to the core elements of selling solutions. Traditionally a multi-day program supported by follow-up coaching and mentoring.
Introduction to Selling Solutions for Non-Sales Teams – Designed to help solutions, services, product, operations and delivery teams successfully participate in and add value to the overall process of selling solutions. Delivered as a series of courses or workshops, often in conjunction with other group learning activities.
Major Account Team Training, Mentoring and Coaching – A customized program that focuses on the skills, approaches and effectiveness of top account teams. Involves pre-work, document evaluation and pipeline reviews as well as specific follow-on activities for each key account. Generally also includes ongoing mentoring and coaching of key account teams.
To find out more about how we can help you ensure that your solutions are sold by a motivated and effective sales team, contact Matt Leary (email: mleary@solutionsinsights.com) or Nikki Fisher (email: nfisher@solutionsinsights.com).

minister Jayalalithaa and three others challenging their conviction by the trial court in the disproportionate assets case.
"The Special Vacation Single Bench of Justice C R Kumaraswamy is constituted to sit in Court Hall No. 14 at 11:00 AM on Monday - the 11th May 2015 - for pronouncement of Judgment (in the appeals)," a high court notification said.
Special Court Judge John Michael D'Cunha had on September 27 last year held the AIADMK supremo and three others guilty of corruption and awarded four years jail term, due to which she attracted disqualification as an MLA.
The Judge had also slapped a fine of Rs 100 crore on her and Rs 10 crore each on three other convicts. Challenging this, the four had filed appeals in the high court where a special bench was set up on the directions of the Supreme Court while granting her bail on December 18 last.
The apex court had directed the high court to decide the appeal within three months. Justice Kumaraswamy, who heard the appeals, had reserved the order on March 11 after defence counsel filed their replies challenging written submissions made by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy, the original complainant in the case.
DMK General Secretary K Anbazhagan, on whose petition the assets case was transferred to Bengaluru from Chennai, had moved the Supreme Court challenging the appointment of G Bhavani Singh as Special Public Prosecutor by Tamil Nadu government for the appeals. The Supreme Court had on April 27 cleared the decks for pronouncement of the judgement in the case.
It held as "bad in law" the appointment of Singh but ruled out fresh hearing in the appeal against her conviction. After the apex court order, senior advocate B V Acharya was appointed Special Public Prosecutor by Karnataka government and he had on April 29 filed a written submission in the high court praying for dismissal of appeals filed by Jayalalithaa and others.
Apart from Jayalalithaa, her close confidante Sasikala and the latter's relatives Sudhakaran, erstwhile foster son of the AIADMK leader, and Elavarasi were also convicted. They were charged with amassing wealth beyond known sources of their income during 1991-96 when Jayalalithaa was Chief Minister for the first time.
Meanwhile, security has been stepped up in Bengaluru ahead of the crucial verdict.
"We have deployed additional forces in the city and imposed ban order within 1km radius of the Karnataka High Court from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Monday to maintain law and order," Additional Commissioner of Police Alok Kumar told IANS.
The special high court bench headed by Justice C.R. Kumaraswamy will pronounce the judgment at 11 a.m. as directed by the Supreme Court, which extended Jayalalithaa's bail up to May 12.
"Ten platoons of the Karnataka State Reserve Police, 500 policemen and 25 senior police officers will be present in and around the high court to ensure peace and prevent any untoward incident. Entry into the high court will also be restricted to avoid crowding," Kumar said.
The imposition of Section 144 will prohibit any gathering in a radius of one kilometre around the High Court.
"Two DCPs (Deputy Commissioner of Police), five ACPs (Assistant Commissioner of Police), 16 inspectors and 500 men will be deployed in and around the High Court. We will frisk all the persons coming there and only lawyers will be allowed in the High Court premises and no member of the public will be allowed there," Kumar said.
"If the public comes from Tamil Nadu, they will be advised that they should not create any problem. They have already met local AIADMK leaders here in Bangalore and we have discussed that whatever happens tomorrow should be smooth and they will also advise from their side that people should not create any problem and no one will be allowed to burst any crackers or do anything which is in violation of Section 144 which has been proclaimed around the High Court," he further added.
He also pointed out that additional force will be deployed at the border in case the inflow of people from Tamil Nadu is more than usual.
"On the borders we'll assess the situation and accordingly take action. If the inflow of people from Tamil Nadu is more, then we will deploy men near our check posts at the border," Kumar said.
AIADMK leaders and activists are praying that Monday should turn out to be lucky for their 'Amma'. AIADMK cadres and leaders fondly address Jayalalithaa as 'Amma' or Mother.
"We are hoping for a positive result," said Avadi Kumar, the AIADMK spokesperson, told IANS.
"What will happen if the court strikes down the trial court order cannot be predicted now," spokesman Kumar said. If that happens, the problems for the party would aggravate.
Meanwhile AIADMK party leaders and cadres are performing special prayers in several temples in Tamil Nadu seeking divine intervention in their leader's favour.
Born in what was then known as Mysore (now part of Karnataka) on Feb 2, 1948, Jayalalithaa moved to Chennai with her mother, who started acting in movies.
Jayalalithaa studied at the Bishop Cotton Girl's High School in Bangalore and another Christian convent, Church Park, in Chennai. A bright student, she ventured into acting, making her debut at age 16 in a Kannada movie.
Her first Tamil movie was the memorable "Vennira Aadai". But it was the grand success of "Aayirathil Oruvan" pairing with the legendary M.G. Ramachandran (MGR) that turned Jayalalithaa into a leading light of Tamil movie world.
She has paired with almost all the leading Tamil heroes. She has acted in over 100 movies, mostly in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada.
A charismatic leader at home in Tamil, English and Hindi (a rare quality in Tamil Nadu politics), Jayalalithaa has also sung many songs and written several stories.

LONDON — As a meeting of the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Sub-Committee on Pollution Prevention and Response (PPR 6) closed in London.
So the Clean Arctic Alliance welcomes progress but calls on Arctic Nations Russia and Canada to step-up. More importantly to step-up and assume their responsibilities to add and support a ban on heavy fuel oil (HFO). HFO from use by Arctic. Oil for shipping and for Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and the United States. All who most noteworthy already support the ban.
So therefore to stay focused on ensuring it adoption in 2021, and phased in by 2023.
During PPR 6, IMO Member States finalized a method for assessing the impact of a HFO ban on Arctic ecosystems, indigenous local communities and economies, and commenced the work needed to define what types of fuel is banned and how they are banned. As well as considering how to cut the risks of HFO in the Arctic, PPR 6 also addressed black carbon emissions from shipping that impact the Arctic, and finalized a list of ways that emissions, which produced by burning oil-based fuels, including HFO, can be reduced. There was, however, no prioritization of the most effective measures, and further consideration of emissions of black carbon will now be discussed at MEPC74 in May 2019.
In addition to the usual country delegates, industry and environmental observers, PPR 6 also heard from the voices of representatives of indigenous Arctic communities who would be most directly affected by a spill of HFO, and by any increases in costs as a result of a HFO ban.
“The world must listen to the Arctic Indigenous Peoples who have known and lived in this region for thousands of years,” said Verner Wilson. Verner is the Senior Oceans Campaigner for Friends of the Earth and a member of the Curyung Tribe in Dillingham, Alaska.

"Once an Innovator, Now a Sad State of Affairs"
The clients and achieving good skills.
Like others have stated, you get what you put into it, until they burn you out because their business model is so archaic that few people's passion for the job can overcome the whiplash, head spinning direction, knee jerk reactions and decision making based on emotional suspicion rather than logic and well thought out processing of information. If you need me to more specific, it's everything. Because of this, the Managers and Area Supervisors who work in centers are set up to fail because their exceptions are very generalized and rarely clear, which trickles down. The other problem is selling products and services to clients online, which affects the paychecks of all staff members. The response from the CEO and Director? Sell more, give them better service and they won't buy online...despite the fact that the company markets to them online, with cheaper prices and we are not able to match them in center. You can draw your own conclusions on how that effects employee moral and how everyone (but the CEO) makes their living.
The best advice I could give would be to actually sell the company to another family or group of people who really care about the business, care about employees and understand how the weight loss industry works in 2019. This would also help an incredibly misunderstood, ho hum creative, and ineffective approach to marketing their program and generating new leads. All of this advice doesn't matter because they don't really listen to their employees and it's quite possible they will only be an online business in a matter of time.
Weird. You're working for commission but have to hide it from clients . Scrubs feel like a costume to seem more medically knowledgeable than we are. Taught to manipulate their vulnerability to gain sales.
You get to work with fantastic clients.
Slimgenics treats their employees terribly. Basically, the program advisors are sales people in scrubs. Work/Family balance is non existent. Good Luck trying to leave an hour early or an hour late for a family function or doctor's appointment. They have you drive over an hour to a center and do not pay you or mileage. Not even a thank you for helping them out. Even if you are on the sales leader board every week, management (upper and center manager) will find something to point out that you did not do perfectly. The turn over is like nothing I have seen before. Most employees last under six months.
To the Regional Manager: You have your employees weigh in monthly. You would be fired if you weighed in for being over weight. Try the program yourself.
"Help People While Expanding Your Skill Set"
SlimGenics is a desirable place to work because the management will provide YOU with a good opportunity to get great results. At the end of the day, that's really all you can ask for... You don't want to be stunted in your workplace. Joining the ranks at SlimGenics will require you to grow, learn new skills and improve as a person.
The weight-loss industry is all about helping people and the inspiring stories you hear from SlimGenics clients are truly special. This company's main goal is to educate the population on healthy nutrition and eating habits. All you have to do is look around to see how many health problems are caused from unhealthy eating. It truly is an important cause... And if you get the chance to become a SlimGenics employee, you will become an ambassador for that cause.
With SlimGenics, you get the chance to help people, expand your skill set and make some good money. Obviously, there's a lot of learning too!
As with many places, sometimes it's hard to introduce a new ways of doing things.
SlimGenics hires people who know their stuff and do not need micromanagement. In fact we are empowered to create our own workflows and projects. There is a lot of teamwork here and very entrepreneurial.
Sometimes it takes awhile to get feedback on new proposed ideas.
"Fun Work Environment Where you Get to Help People Change Their Lives!"
I have worked at SlimGenics for over ten years. The company has tremendous professional development opportunities for those that want them. We have the privilege to work with health-challenged clients everyday on their weight loss journey and path to wellness. It is amazing to see the incredible results and knowing you helped someone transform their life for the better. The program works and the company provides so many educational tools for both the clients and the employees. The products we sell enhance the results and are best in class. It is fun to work with people who care about their own health and the health and wellness of others. I especially enjoy working with our youth clients and helping them understand the importance of healthy nutrition. Great place to work!
It is difficult to find and retain team members who understand the importance of both service and sales. Sales is a required part of the job and some people find they are not comfortable with that even though the company is clear that sales is an essential part of the position.
After working in a corporate position for 25 years, working at SlimGenics is a breathe of fresh air! SlimGenics gives you an opportunity to make a positive impact on others lives. In this position I have clients that rely on me and my coworkers to support and motivate them to achieve their health goals. Working in a positive team environment and watching and assisting clients transition and become happy and healthier is truly rewarding. The SlimGenics Program is a sound nutritional program and not only works to help clients lose weight, it offers all the tools to maintain results. I also lost weight on the program and have embraced the SlimGenics lifestyle. I have worked at SlimGenics for over 11 years and absolutely love my job and all the clients. I can go home at the end of the day knowing that I am responsible for making a difference in another persons life.
Keep up the great work and thank you for providing us with the premium program, nutritional supplements, tools and training to enhance our clients results.
"Almost 8 Years with a Great Company"
SlimGenics is a great company that offers many opportunities for career growth. Great opportunity to work on a team and help people change their lives. Hard work is recognized and rewarded. Weight loss program is healthy and it works!
Can be challenging at times because you're working with the public.

Some people use the words hairdresser and barbershop interchangeably. But there is a difference between a hairdresser and barbershop. A hairdresser is a hair specialist who knows how to give people unique hairstyles, especially those that are trending. A barbershop simply knows how to cut hair and provide basic hairstyling services.
For more than 5,000 years, there has been some version of a barber around. In ancient times, they served as primitive surgeons and dentists. But as these professions started to separate and become individually unique, barbers primarily practiced the art of cutting hair. As for hairdressing and styling, this was started amongst women during the Elizabethan era of the 16th century. These hair services were primarily for women and they involved cutting hair, styling hair, and creating extravagant wigs. This is pretty much how it is today as well. The only difference is men now go to hairdressers too.

Hairdressers vs Barbers – Which One is Right for You? Visit Valente Hair & Co!
If you want to know whether you should go to a hairdresser or barbershop, you need to think about two things. First, consider how much hair you currently have. Second, think about what kind of look you want to go for. If you’re somebody who already has short hair or wants short hair, then you definitely should go to a barber for a men’s haircut. There is no styling necessary for short hair. Barbers just take an electric razor and buzz off your hair. They may do some light cutting with scissors too, depending on how short you want it. But barbers are best for handling shorter haircuts.
A hairdresser is more appropriate if you have long hair that you want to keep long, but with a different style. There may be some light cutting involved too, but not nearly as much as what a barber does. Hairdressers use a variety of different hair products and styling tools to create the perfect look for their customers. These styling sessions typically last longer and cost more money than sessions with a barber. This might be why many people consider a hairdresser more appropriate for women’s haircuts.
As you can see, the choice between a barber and hairdresser is not really that hard. Barbers are affordable and can quickly give you a haircut that is short and clean. Hairdressers are like premium barbers who go the extra mile to style your hair, shampoo, cut, bleach, or whatever else you want.

A wedding is often one of the most important days of a woman’s life. While most emphasis is placed on the dress, picking the right wedding veils to compliment the outfit and your personal style is incredibly important.
Deciding on the right length is the first step. Length is important because you want something that compliments your silhouette. A veil can break the flow of your overall look, so it’s important to try different lengths to see what flows well with the dress of your choice. If your dress features back detail you want to show off, a long veil would not be ideal for your overall look.
Color is always important. For years, white was the standard, but now veils are available in every color choice around. The veil should match the color of the gown, but feel free to add some small embellishments that add a pop of color that might be complimentary to the wedding color choices.
Balance is key when choosing a veil. If you have chosen a very embellished dress, a simple veil is always the way to go to avoid a cluttered feel to the overall look. If you have picked a simple dress, use a veil to add a bit of color and adventure to the look.
Always make sure you are envisioning your hairstyle when shopping for a veil. If you are planning on wearing your hair up, don’t try your veil on with your hair down and draping your shoulders. It’s important to make sure that not only will the veil look right with the hairstyle you have chosen but will also attach properly.
This is a year of new styles and trends, and wedding veils are no exception. This year offers decorative hair clips that veils can be attached to that come from simple and plain to sparkle encrusted masterpieces. Hot trends are also leaning towards Bohemian flower crowns, embroidered fascinators, and incredibly dramatic cathedral veils. With so many options, it will certainly be difficult to choose.
The most important thing to remember when looking at wedding veils is that this is your fairytale day, your big moment. While fashion is always something important to consider, make sure you are creating the dream look that you have fantasized about.

Together these 10 cutters spent more than 3,000 hours breaking ice, assisting hundreds of vessel transits.
"The Coast Guard works closely with the Canadian Coast Guard and industry to ensure critical shipping paths are open for transit," said Lt. Cmdr. Matt ten Berge, head of domestic ice breaking at the 9th Coast Guard District.
"Our ice-breaking services enable commercial shippers on both sides of our shared border to transport an average of two billion dollars worth of cargo each winter, including critical heating fuel and food supplies."
Although ice has melted from the waterways and air temperatures may be mild, water temperatures are still extremely cold and can cause hypothermia and death within a matter of minutes. Recreational water users are advised to dress for the water temperature and not the air, and to consider these factors before venturing out onto the water.

I've been running out of room in my garage to store my planes. This is nothing new, I've been running out of room for my planes since 1985.
But it was (is) getting out of hand, with most flat and semi-flat areas hosting planes, some still in the way, at risk of falling or being knocked to the floor.
I had put up a wall mounted nose-in rack, using 1/2" PVC pipe screwed into a plywood sheet with sheetrock screws through end cap pieces. At first, I'd used "T" pieces with the backs cut off, but that was more expensive and required cutting with a table saw (which I don't have). This storage method works well, as I have a tall wall in my garage, however, reaching the uppermost planes can be difficult, requiring a ladder to get to them. Also, wall space in a garage is a precious commodity, so when I saw the Z-Rack-N-Stack-Hanger and then read Brett_N's post about the pull-down pulleys, I knew it was something I had to try.
Previous wall mounted rack for 12 planes in a 4' x 6' area.
The Tower (or Flyzone) Millennium Master is a favorite sport plane of mine. It has great performance and quality and is a terrific value. No other plane of it's type flies as well for so little money. But, no one said "foam is forever" except as a joke! As time goes on, and with many trips to the flying field (a very rough field, too!) the MM had become "not so fresh". My rough field conditions weren't the best for a trike gear plane, and I really wanted to either convert it to a tail dragger or just eliminate the gear and belly land. I had eliminated the gear on my 3 other Tower 1 meter foam planes, the Hellcat, Corsair and P51, and they all improved their already great flying characteristics after ditching the gear.
The need to start my modifications happened when I put an 1800 4S battery in the MM and attempted to hand launch it. I'd hand launched it many times before with various 3S batteries no problem, but this time, I might have had the CG a bit too far forward. Whatever the combination of reasons, it nosed in hard at the launch, and obliterated the lite ply motor mount box, flush with the foam fuselage nose. The flimsy cowling was split in a few places as well. The X mount on the motor had 2 bent legs. The X mount is one of a very few weaknesses of these motors. Once they bend, they cannot be straightened as they break at the motor fastening screws where there is very little metal. The bolt pattern of the motor is unique, and Tower will sell you another motor with the mount for $19.99, but they do not sell just the X mount. I hope to 3D print a replacement X mount once I'm able to use design software successfully.
The shattered cowling situation can also be remedied using parts from Tower that both cost less AND look better than the original MM pieces.
This bird ain't flyin' anywhere!
Lookin' good & ready to go!
The Tidewater is a great first seaplane. The water handling is easy, precise. Takeoff runs are quite short and non-tricky. Landings are also very manageable and enjoyable. It's the flying in between the water handling and water landings that can get somewhat stale after many flights. Not that it flies poorly, or demands that it be flown fast lest it fall out of a turn like a shot duck, but it does have some shortcomings that begin to become tiresome after a while.
The first of these annoyances is the continual wing rocking if even the slightest breeze is present. It would seem to be the result of the wing's dihedral along with the side area of the tips floats. This was neatly solved by the installation of a Lemon stabilized receiver. In addition to eliminating the wing rocking, the Lemon makes the Tidewater fly like a bigger, more stable plane.
The second annoyance is the effects of high, pylon mounted motor. Increasing the throttle also increases a nose - down force that effects ground, water and flight handling negatively. Ground (and snow ) takeoffs have the nose burying itself in the ground (or snow ) as the throttle is advanced (even slowly ) and full up elevator is required long into the takeoff run. In flight, the off axis thrust makes rolling maneuvers uneven and awkward. Inverted flight, while possible, has to be worked at. An eighth inch of up elevator trim is required for normal level flight with the CG set near the recommendation.
SanderHG's Twin Bixler 2 provided the design for the Twinwater mod.

Well yeah i guess. Like i said it isn't really a complaint. Its just a general opinion and question. I'm just wondering who likes what. Like i said as far as i know there isn't any arma 3 servers that offer the arma 2 overpoch style missions where it was just fun and didn't have a constant spawn of people coming back to the missions making it feel like we were playing on balota airfield even when up in debug.
Yeah, i agree. I like the action. However it gets a little annoying when you kill people at a mission and minutes later they are already back and fighting. Personally i feel that you aint "rewarded" for killing those players and you can lose everything you have earn't in a second. "Even without the northern spawn points, people have the ability to spawn at their base, which may be close to a mission you're trying to complete. Although, they're limited to 1 spawn ever X minutes." - Personally i dont mind this as they've set that base up and had to pay for that base. The fact the mission is next to their base is a chance so it doesn't make it as bad and if they respawn at their base and come back, then fair enough. they've spend that 1 spawn they get to get back their and this gives you some caution towards the bases around you as you don't know if they own them etc. idk. I understand why some people like the spawns but personally i feel it gets a little deathmatchy especially if the server is at 60 pop.
Just a general question/poll on who actually likes the northern spawn points? Personally i'm not a fan of the spawn points. some pros are :you Spawn up north, not having to spend time to get up north, the Traders pretty close and you have action right away at missions. However the cons of this is :You complete a mission, kill all the other players in surrounding areas and even in debug but they return 5 mins later because there are spawns ad gvod and ghost town and its Too easy, you have access to everything right away. I had a situation today where i dont blame the players but i was completing a mission and the same 2 groups of people came back a good 3-4 times before they eventually "gave up". Personally I've also done the same thing, returning to the mission less than 2 mins later retrieving my gear I understand that this isn't no arma 2 but i miss the days when you could complete a mission and kill the players there at said mission and feel rewarded for it, instead of it feeling like a death match. Like i said i'm just wondering what everyone's opinions are on this and if anyone has experienced this themselves. *Edit* Everything else on the server is great!

Domestic and Light-Industrial Sliding Gate OperatorThey say you can’t improve upon perfection. Well, they obviously haven’t seen the D5-Evo.
One of the most durable and reliable operators ever made, the legendary D5 is renowned the world over. Many years later, old ‘tried and tested’ gets perfected. We borrowed what we learned from the D10 and applied it to the D5-Evo.
Incorporating a 12V version of the D10 controller, the D5-Evo also offers a wide range of useful features, which includes ChronoGuard timer functionality (a world first).
Hard as nails and loyal to the end, you can sleep easy, knowing that this CENTURION is on guard.
