I firmly believe that social media is free advertising for the small business owner. Recently I’ve found that more and more of my clients need help with their social media planning – they know they should be using it, but aren’t sure what they should and shouldn’t post. I’ve put together a list the things I think you should and shouldn’t post if you’re a business owner.
Get your clients to write you a testimonial once you’ve been working with them for a few months. You can use this on your website, in your blogs, on your printed advertising and on social media. Make sure you’ve got their permission first (I’m sure it’ll be fine) then at least once a week if you can, post an extract of one (or the whole thing if it’s short) and add a relevant photo. One of my most liked and commented upon posts was the first one of mine I ever did.
Tell people what you’ve been up to, particularly if it’s something a bit different to what you normally do. People love to hear what everyone’s doing, plus it gives you a chance to showcase what you can do for potential new clients and could trigger someone into contacting you.
Facebook Live or Insta stories are all the thing and the internet is going crazy for them. If you’re a little camera-shy check out my blog on how to get over your video nerves. My top tip is to record one first and re-record until you’re happy with it. Then if you stumble or blank on what you want to say, it’s not out there with the world watching.
There’s nothing wrong with blatantly asking for referrals or work. Larger companies do it all the time by paying for TV advertising. They’re telling you what they offer and giving you the chance to purchase it. That’s all you’re doing by asking for referrals. Don’t sell to the readers though, no-one likes being sold to. Instead, ask them to help you find your ideal clients. And if you think you know exactly who they are but still aren’t getting them signed up, my blog on how to get to know your ideal client might help.
I try and write one blog a week. It’s not always easy when things are busy, but I get a lot out of writing them and I hope my clients and other contacts enjoy reading them. I write about the things I know, how to set up as a Virtual Assistant, what your VA can do to help you, what to write on social media….
One of my biggest bugbears on social media is photos of food. It’s slightly more acceptable on my personal Facebook feed to be fair but leave it off your business pages. While it’s great to show the world that you are, indeed, eating and therefore still alive, I very much doubt your potential customers really care what you had for dinner (and let’s be honest, who has ever seen a photo of Richard Branson’s dinner?).
I know we’re all human and we all make mistakes. The right thing to do here would be to come clean to your client and put it right if possible. It’s not something you want to shout about on your social media, no matter how funny it was, because existing and potential clients will not be impressed! Neither will the client you were working with when you made the mistake.
Need I explain why? Again, this is one better left on your personal social media platforms because of course, all your friends need to see what a great time you had, how many beers or cocktails you drank and how tanned you are. Your clients do not.
I love my miniature dachshund Oscar, and I think he’s the cutest dog in the world. My friends know how much I love him and so do all the other dachshund owners in my Facebook dachshund group. Most of my clients don’t know and don’t care that I own a dog. They care about the quality and timeliness of my work and how I can help their business to grow.
I’m sure you’re getting the idea, try and stay away from the personal stuff that goes on in your life. Your clients won’t think you’re ‘hilarious’ they will find you unprofessional and may end up dispensing with your services.
Also, just a side note, if your personal feed is full of photos of ‘that’ stag do, (and that’s absolutely fine), make it watertight so no-one searching for you will find it.
What really helps me is having a short list to remind me of things to post. I use a scheduling platform called Hootsuite but there are others out there like Buffer and I spend a couple of hours at the end of the week deciding what I’m going to post, and get it all scheduled. Then I sit back and let the magic happen.
If, though, after all of that you’re still not sure, or just don’t want to do this for yourself, get in touch to discuss how I can help.
If you enjoy my blogs and would like to stay up to date with more of these, plus news, events and offers, I’d love it if you signed up to my monthly newsletter.

Circulatory strain is imperative since it could be a pointer of medical issues later on. In the event that your circulatory strain is high, it is putting additional strain on your conduits and on your heart. This may likewise cause a heart assault or stroke.
This is especially critical as you get more seasoned, as the impacts of an undesirable way of life can develop and your circulatory strain can increment. On the off chance that you smoke, are corpulent, are physically inert, or have diabetes or elevated cholesterol, you may likewise be at an expanded hazard.
Fortunately, there is an expanding number of brilliant circulatory strain screens, that are making the activity of watching your wellbeing somewhat simpler. These gadgets offer the accommodation of chronicle every one of the readings and keeping a verifiable record in a convenient application, with the goal that you can without much of a stretch see any patterns or examples, which can assist you with making way of life changes all the more rapidly.
Koogeek is a generally new contestant in advertise for wellbeing and wellness contraptions and wearables. In March a year ago, they discharged their first shrewd scale. The organization has since added different gadgets to its portfolio, for example, an abs exerciser, a SmartPlug and a Smart Thermometer. These speak with the client through a cell phone application and Koogeek's 'Shrewd Cloud System'.
I've been trying Koogeek's Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor over the previous week. These are my impressions.
survey koogeek wrist pulse screen with pulse 5 - Review: Koogeek wrist circulatory strain screen with heart rateThe pulse screen touches base in a little box that contains the unit, two AAA batteries and a little direction manual. It does exclude any sort of capacity case, however you can simply spare the container for that reason, and it functions admirably.
Once removed from the bundle I saw the appearance. The brilliant green and white plan is present day and does not have a clinical vibe. The lash likewise appears to be in the event that it was made of value material. Every one of the catches are plainly marked and the wide show screen utilizes huge text styles that are anything but difficult to peruse.
Amazingly, the first occasion when I took a perusing, a robotized female voice read them back to me. Truth be told, the voice startled me as it was a bit too noisy! Fortunately, it isn't to hard to turn down the sound, or even quiet it in the event that you wish (the alternative that I picked at last). You can likewise change the dialect to English, French or Spanish.
Prior to working the unit, you ought to introduce the cell phone application. Complete a straightforward inquiry in the application store, or alternatively you can examine the scanner tag on the back of the direction manual which may spare you a touch of time. Start-up the application, answer a couple of inquiries, enlist with an email account, match the gadget by means of Bluetooth and you are prepared to go. All things considered, it just takes a couple of minutes to set up a record and sign in.
This is a circulatory strain screen that takes readings from the wrist. Wrist pulse screens are to a great degree touchy to body position. To get an exact perusing your arm and wrist must be on a basic level. Its additionally vital that you put the show of the unit within your wrist with the palm confronting upwards. As I discovered the most difficult way possible, on the off chance that you wear it the other route around your readings will be much too high. So it is best to take after directions to the letter. Curiously, the guidelines are additionally composed on the band of the screen so on the off chance that you happen to lose the little manual, you will at present have those.
The circulatory strain screen is extremely easy to utilize and works like some other pulse screen. The show demonstrates the date, time, beat and diastolic and systolic circulatory strain (estimated as standard in mmHg).
So as to acquire adjust estimation results, you have to put your elbow on the work area, sit tight, remain calm and keep your hands, arms fingers still. To take an estimation, basically press the on catch on the gadget. The sleeve will consequently begin to swell. The unit can record up to 99 perusing on the gadget itsself.
The other choice is to take an estimation with the assistance of the cell phone application. The red heart in the application will start to beat as you turn the screen on, demonstrating that an association has been made. As you take a perusing, both the circulatory strain screen and cell phone application will demonstrate the estimation results and spare the information.
survey koogeek wrist circulatory strain screen with pulse 2 - Review: Koogeek wrist circulatory strain screen with heart rateThe application gives more data and demonstrates your perusing in a shading coded circle, which makes it less difficult for you to comprehend whether your readings are inside ordinary levels. There is likewise a chart that shows how your heartbeat and circulatory strain readings have changed after some time.
It is significant, the situating of your arm is critical. Indeed, even with each precautionary measure, circulatory strain estimations taken at the wrist might be less precise than those taken at your arm. That is on account of the wrist supply routes are smaller and not as profound under your skin as those of the lower arm. So on the off chance that we comprehend that, and put it aside for the expanded accommodation of a screen for the wrist, at that point what we're left with is an appealing and all around outlined instrument.
I proceeded to contrast the readings and the Withings Blood Pressure screen over a few days. The two screens were never in excess of a couple of digits separated. That gives me a considerable amount of trust in the exactness of the Koogeek gadget.
All things considered, I was enjoyably amazed with the quality, convenience and exactness of readings. There might be heaps of contrivances or superfluous bits of gear for your wellbeing accessible today, yet please rest guaranteed that home screens for circulatory strain are not tricks and they are profoundly helpful. While self-checking is anything but a substitute for seeing a specialist, having the capacity to routinely quantify and in particular track circulatory strain can actually spare your life.
We are a survey site that gets a little commission from offers of specific things, yet the cost is the same for you. Acquiring things by tapping on joins in this article enables us to run this site. We are freely claimed and all feelings communicated here are our own. See our associate divulgence page for more subtle elements.
I don't take my pulse all the time, yet perhaps I should. I have EMT preparing so I claim a manual sphygmomanometer ("pulse sleeve") and a tabletop programmed and a compact. The Koogeek BP2, be that as it may, looked so little and smooth, I knew I needed to try it out.
The BP2 accompanies a microUSB charging link and reports.
Battery: 400mAh lithium charged by means of MicroUSB. Useful for no less than 50 times of nonstop utilization on one charge.
The highest point of the BP2 comprises of (left-right) a microUSB charging port, reset catch (recessed), LED and power catch.
The BP2 helps me to remember an iPod Mini.
Here's a nearby of the sleeve. Check your upper arm circuit before requesting.
For what reason do I need to give them my email and secret word just to begin sleeve swelling and take a perusing? The application logs your circulatory strain estimations, however I don't perceive any reason why you can't simply record it yourself. I figure I'm out-dated that way, and I don't have a craving for sharing my wellbeing data in this way.
In the directions, I discovered this note about not utilizing your phone close to the BP2. I don't know somebody edit this. Why have a partner application, at that point?
Considerably all the more alarming was this note to a limited extent 4, "After the estimation". For what reason would the BP2 transfer your readings to the server on the off chance that you don't dispatch the application?
Luckily, for the suspicious disapproved of like me, you can work the BP2 without the application. Essentially control it up, and press the power catch a second time to start sleeve swelling.
As should be obvious in the video, the BP2 show demonstrates systolic (the "upper" number) and diastolic (the "lower" number) in addition to pulse.
In any case, is it any great? I was a little concerned when I saw my readings. They were high for me. So finished the course of 60 minutes, I took my circulatory strain very still utilizing distinctive techniques.
By and large I saw the Koogeek BP2 estimated around 10 mmHg higher than what I might suspect is typical for me. That is not consoling. It could be an individual blunder. I additionally saw the screen went clear in the wake of giving a perusing in around 10 seconds. On the off chance that you don't utilize the application, I would take note of the perusing or record it rapidly.
. and also pulse, and a full rundown of estimations is likewise available. On the off chance that you can see a few exceptions, it's presumable an issue with the estimations, yet not because of the gadget. For instance, Marge Simpson had a typical circulatory strain just on September 11, however we can see the heartrate at 92 bpm was higher than amid alternate days, thus it more likely than not meddled with the estimation, as we ought to have held up a little longer subsequent to sitting, before beginning taking the pulse.
Koogeek BP2 (otherwise known as KS-BP2) fills in obviously more often than not, and results has all the earmarks of being in accordance with reality in light of each individual patient's history, yet I had inconveniences utilizing WiFi to cloud work when not utilizing my cell phone, and once the circulatory strain screen began to expand, collapse, blow up, and so forth… as though it had inconveniences finishing the estimations. I could undoubtedly stop it by squeezing the power catch to turn it off, and restarted it to make an effective estimation directly after.
I'd jump at the chance to express gratitude toward Koogeek for sending the survey test, and Koogeek BP2 can be bought for $69.99 on Amazon. Koogeek is a TomTop mark, so you'll additionally discover their items on Tomtop.com.

Great Britain. In the twenty years since its debut, the Porsche Boxster has established itself as the benchmark roadster. Today, a new generation of the mid-engined two-seater is unveiled, powered by a newly-developed range of flat four cylinder ‘boxer’ engines with turbocharging. At the same time, a new designation is introduced; 718 Boxster and 718 Boxster S.
These new models continue the tradition of the Porsche 718 mid-engined sports cars that won numerous races in the 1950s and 1960s, powered by four-cylinder ‘boxer’ engines. It also sits neatly beside the established sports car icons with numbered identities – 718 Boxster, 911 Carrera, 918 Spyder, 919 Hybrid.
More powerful yet more fuel efficient, the centrepiece of the new model series is the 718 Boxster which develops 300 hp (220 kW) from its turbocharged 2.0-litre engine. The 718 Boxster S has a 2.5-litre engine, which develops 350 hp (257 kW), its greater power literally boosted by its use of a turbocharger with variable turbine geometry. In fact, Porsche is now the only manufacturer to offer this technology in production cars with petrol engines, both in the 911 Turbo and 718 Boxster S.
The considerable power gain of 35 hp (26 kW) compared to the previous Boxster models is matched by the impressive efficiency of the new turbo engines. The new 718 Boxster models have fuel economy improvements of up to 13 per cent.
Complementing the more powerful engines is new suspension tuning and uprated brakes, ensuring the characteristically dynamic and emotive Boxster driving experience remains distinctive.
The exterior design of the new model line has also advanced comprehensively. The vehicle has been completely revised, except for the luggage compartment lids, the windscreen and the powered convertible roof. Inside, a newly-designed dash panel frames the cockpit. In addition, the latest generation of Porsche Communication Management (PCM) with state-of-the-art touchscreen and mobile phone preparation included as standard. The navigation module is available as an option.
Besides the advanced design, the enhanced standard equipment of the new 718 Boxster makes the new generation models even more attractive.
The launch of the new 718 Boxster represents a return by Porsche to building sports cars with flat four-cylinder ‘boxer’ engines. The addition of a turbocharger significantly boosts torque. The pull of the 2.0-litre engine in the 718 Boxster has increased by nearly a quarter versus the prior model, with 380 Nm of torque (a gain of 100 Nm) available from 1,950 rpm to 4,500 rpm. In the case of the 2.5-litre engine in the 718 Boxster S, this generates 420 Nm (60 Nm more) across a speed range from 1,900 rpm to 4,500 rpm.
Consequently, the new 718 Boxster models sprint even faster. The 718 Boxster – with optional PDK double-clutch automatic transmission and the Sport Chrono Package – sprints from 0 – 62 mph in 4.7 seconds (0.8 seconds quicker). The equivalent 718 Boxster S accomplishes this in 4.2 seconds (0.6 seconds faster). The top speed of the 718 Boxster is 275 km/h (170 mph), and the 718 Boxster S has a top speed of 285 km/h (177 mph).
The Porsche turbo concept is boosting driving performance while improving fuel economy. In the 718 Boxster, the four-cylinder flat engine with PDK has a NEDC Combined fuel consumption figure of 40.9 mpg (5.1 mpg more than the previous model). In the 718 Boxster S, the 2.5-litre turbo engine with PDK returns 38.7 mpg Combined (4.3 mpg more than the previous model).
Each 718 model is equipped with a six-speed manual transmission as standard. The Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), which now features fuel-saving ‘virtual gears’ previously introduced on the 911 model series, is available as an option.
The 718 Boxster distinguishes itself at first glance, with a much more sculptural form. The front has a wider and more purposeful appearance, with larger cooling air intakes being a distinct expression of the new turbocharged engine beating within. The nose of the 718 Boxster is completed by the new design of the Bi-Xenon headlights with integrated LED daytime running lights. LED headlights with four-point daytime running lights are available as a new option.
In profile, identifying features of the new model line include independently-styled wheel arches and side sills. Larger air inlet panels with two fins further emphasise the car’s dynamic look. The doors are now designed without door handle recess covers. New 19-inch wheels are standard on the 718 Boxster S. 20-inch diameter wheels are available as an option.
The rear of the 718 Boxster has been redesigned, characterized by a much wider appearance – emphasized by the accent strip with integrated ‘Porsche’ badge between the tail lights. The tail lights were completely re-designed, and are distinguished by three-dimensional LED technology and four-point brake lights.
In its driving dynamics, the new roadster follows in the tracks of the original 718. The re-tuned chassis enhances cornering performance, and the electro-mechanical power steering system is configured to be ten per cent more direct. This makes the 718 Boxster even more agile as well as easier to steer, both on circuits and in everyday traffic.
Available as an option is Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) combined with a 10mm lower ride height. For the first time, a PASM Sport Chassis with a 20mm lower ride height can also be specified as an option for the 718 Boxster S. The active chassis, the settings for which have also been re-tuned, now offers an even broader spread between long-distance touring comfort and dynamic responsiveness.
As in the 911 models, the optional Sport Chrono Package now comprises the Individual programme in addition to the three settings Normal, Sport and Sport Plus. In combination with the PDK transmission, the Sport Response Button is added, which is located at the middle of the Mode switch. Inspired by motor sport, it enables the driver to get the maximum responsiveness of the car for 20 seconds.
Awaiting the driver of the 718 Boxster is the familiar Porsche interior environment, upgraded with new instrument panel elements. Another central feature of the new interior is Porsche Communication Management (PCM) with mobile phone preparation, audio interfaces and the Sound Package Plus with 110 watts of audio power. PCM can be extended with optional modules to thoroughly adapt it to personal requirements. For instance, the navigation module including voice control is available, which makes it easy to input driving destinations. In addition, the Connect Plus module is available as an extension of the navigation module; it provides online navigation services and enhanced online audio features. With Porsche Vehicle Tracking System Plus (PVTS+) as standard, the 718 Boxster offers the highest class of vehicle security.
The new Porsche 718 Boxster and 718 Boxster S are available to order today from Porsche Centres in the UK and Ireland. First deliveries will be in the Spring.

The Foundation no longer accepts applications for individual documentary projects. Today, the Journalism and Media program supports documentary filmmakers and nonfiction media producers exclusively through partner organizations. These organizations, as a whole, support hundreds of filmmakers each year, and help to diversify the field and raise the artistic achievement and social impact of documentary storytelling.
Filmmakers currently seeking production funds are encouraged to explore the funding opportunities offered by MacArthur’s partner organizations. These organizations deploy MacArthur resources in a way that allows many more filmmakers, artists and technologists to find the support they need to tell stories that inform, engage, and compel viewers to make changes in themselves or their communities for a more just, verdant and peaceful society. Over the next year, the Foundation will be adding new partners to the current list of six organizations.
MacArthur Foundation offers grants to provide the public with high-quality, professionally-produced documentary films, deep and analytical journalism, and well-produced news and public affairs programming. MacArthur supports U.S.-based independent documentary filmmakers for the production and distribution of social-issue documentary films intended for a broad audience.
In 2011, the grantmaking budget for this program area is $8.5 million.
Proposals may be submitted electronically via macfound.org.
No additional materials like DVDs are to be sent which may delay consideration of your submission.

Home Pregnancy by weeks The first week of pregnancy: What future mother should do?
If the wish to become a mother was completely conscious, and you were preparing for this event, having passed all the necessary medical examinations and research and making all the necessary adjustments to your life, the only thing that one can advise you – listen to your intuition and follow your health.
Avoid smoking, alcohol and various medications without the approval of a physician. This is a question that goes without saying, your decision and will power depends on the life and health of the unborn baby.
Try to take care of yourself and your health, avoid overwork, do not communicate with people who are sick not to be infected. A viral disease during the first weeks of pregnancy may carry very sad consequences, so if you can avoid being in areas with large concentrations of people – then try to.
Avoid stressful situations at home and at work, do not get angry or nervous, solve all the conflicts as peacefully as possible. Now it is not the time for a showdown.
Arrange your proper nutrition during pregnancy. It should be rich in vitamins and minerals, calcium and folic acid, which make the development of the fetus safe. The required amount of selenium prevents spinal cord defects. Limit spicy, sour, salty, smoked and canned food, pay attention to spinach, broccoli and oatmeal.
Spend more time outdoors, search harmony in nature and not in a stuffy office. Walking through the park with your husband – is a great alternative to noisy discos and crowded bars. If your life is in a very intense rhythm – revise your schedule, take time for yourself.
Dear future mothers, you might actually have to change the habitual way of life, but we want to draw your attention to the fact that it is not necessary to think that you’re doing it just for the sake of the child.
All the above mentioned principles – are simple rules of the person who wants to be healthy, there is nothing complicated there. Certainly, harmonious and organic mother’s behavior during pregnancy is the most positive impact on the future baby, but it will bring much more benefit, if these principles become your beliefs, you follow them with joy and pleasure to look beautiful and cheerful.
Although at this moment “half” of your baby – it’s one of 300 000 egg cells, and the second “half” throughout 14 days will be forming in the mature spermatozoon. It is now the best time to start taking care of yourself and your future baby. We wish you to see two strips on the test as soon as possible!

On my desk, I have a second edition of The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations. The original edition was in 1941; the edition that I have is from 1960. I have seen reference to a fifth edition [seventh —Ed.]. The fourth edition advertisement said that it had over 9,000 citations from 2,300 authors. Like everything else almost, it seems to be online. But there is something solid about the book I have that I would be reluctant to sacrifice.
The second edition is 1003 pages long. It even has a “Greek Index” for citations in that noble language. Thus on page 248, #13, Hippocrates is cited: ό βίοσ βραχύσ, ή δѐ τéχνη μακρή—“The life so short, the craft so long to learn.” In this short entry we are told one more astonishing thing. This translation to English was made by Chaucer, which is no doubt why it is in the Dictionary.
I approach this magisterial work through a comment made by Robert Sokolowski, in his insightful book, Pictures, Quotations, and Distinctions. “Quotation is not merely repetition, even though it involves repeating what someone else has said. . . . There may be no difference in the words being repeated, but they are repeated differently: it is as if we no longer saw an object directly but now only in a mirror” (U. of Notre Dame Press, 1992, 27). If I cite an author from another time or place or language, what was said becomes alive again in my text, yet with the emphasis or understanding I give to it as part of my text, while it remains itself.
The thousands of quotations found in the Dictionary are separated from the text in which they originally appear. They each just sit there in the text of the Dictionary. Each is identified by author, date, and source. The general index enables a reader easily to find a citation on many different subject matters or different authors.
The famous phrase, for example, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” we are infirmed comes from a certain Margaret Wolfe Hungerford, (1855–1897). We are also informed that this quotation was itself cited in Molly Brown, 1878. I am not sure what Molly Brown was. Molly Brown herself was a woman who was saved from the Titanic. A later musical thus was called The Unsinkable Molly Brown.
At this point, we are also referred from Hungerford to page 557, entry #18. This citation turns out to be from Lew Wallace (1827–1905). It reads: “Beauty is altogether in the eye of the beholder,” from an 1893 play called The Prince of India.
I cite these apparently chance interrelations of quotations not just to indicate that the same quotation can appear in many different contexts, but also to wonder about the principle itself. Beauty is often considered a transcendental, an attribute of being itself, like truth and good and one. If it is merely in the eye of the beholder, it is not first in things. I should much prefer to think that it is really there, in things, to be seen and affirmed as existing there and not merely the way I put things together. But then the beholder might well see a beauty in things which most of us miss.
Next, I wondered if Maurice Baring is cited, but he is not. Baring’s Lost Lectures contain some of the most entertaining passages that I know. But Belloc, the man from Sussex, whom I consider the best essayist in the language, is cited. From The South Country (p. 42, #7), let me cite just one item from Belloc: “If I ever become a rich man, / Or if I ever grow to be old, / I will build a house with deep thatch / To shelter me from the cold, / And there shall the Sussex songs be sung / And the story of Sussex told. / I will hold my house in the high wood, / Within a walk from the sea, / And the men that were boys when I was a boy / Shall sit and drink with me.” Much of Belloc’s great book, The Four Men, is here.
The Dictionary contains over 27 pages from the Bible. From 1 Corinthians 10.26, we read: “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.” (p. 66, #40). That is, there is a difference between the Earth and its fullness, as if to say that the purpose of the Earth is that it be filled by that being who alone can fill it, or perhaps fail to do so.
Of Shakespeare, we find 65 pages. How can we forget from Henry V (4, 189): “Every subject’s duty is the king’s; but every subject’s soul is his own” (p. 444, #20)? How much of the political philosophy inspired by the distinction between God and Caesar is contained in that one citation from Shakespeare! The citation itself from Matthew 22 is found on p. 60, #12.
A “dictionary” of quotations is a wondrous thing. We usually do not quote just to be quoting. A quotation has its own life within our using of it. When wecite someone, we acknowledge that others have spoken before us. We can quote to agree or disagree. We also do not want to pretend that we were the first to say that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” or that “every subject’s soul is his own.” It may be important that we say it and see its truth. But it is somehow more important to recognize that someone else has seen a truth before we did. And if we find that we disagree, we at least state fairly that with which we disagree.
I was curious to see if Machiavelli is cited. He is not. But Joseph de Maistre (1753–1821) is cited in French, from his unedited letters from 15 août 1811: “Toute nation a le gouvernement qu’elle mérite.” This passage is then translated: “Every country has the government it deserves” (p. 327, #13). This passage sounds too much like current events after the election to dare to comment on.
In looking at an orderly collection of quotations in one’s own tongue, anyone must be struck by the richness of the language. The nine thousand quotations, of course, are but an infinitesimal fraction of the amount of words that we utter or listen to daily. Yet certain passages do stand out. We are grateful for such a collection that allows us either to cite what Robert Browning said—“We have not sighed deep, laughed free, / Starved, feasted, despaired,—been happy” (p. 97, #28)—or go in search for more of what he said. But to realize what Browning said here in Youth and Art is a task that takes a whole lifetime. Such is the power of quotations and books in which they are found scattered about for us to come across to unsettle or soothe our souls because someone else saw first what we now absorb into our hearts as a seed planted there to continue to grow to its full meaning.
Father Schall reflects on the art of the quotation: We usually do not quote just to be quoting.

How Might We Close Our Creative Gap?
The Gap is shot by visual storyteller, Daniel Sax and was inspired by David Shiyang Liu who created his own version back in June of 2011. Both of these videos were created using the audio from Ira’s interview with Current TV. In his interview, Ira discusses the creative process behind the art of storytelling.
When it comes to closing our creative gap, it requires a few key components. The one major and most important component entails not quitting. Our creative process can certainly take a while. It may take 5 years, 10 years, or possibly even 20 years before we begin to see the fruits of our labor. Despite this, we must get over the phase and possibility of creative disappointment. It will happen. The good news is however, it will not last forever.
Creative disappointment is totally normal. The most important thing that we can do is produce a large volume of work. “It’s only by going through a large volume of work that we’re actually able to catch up and close the gap” says Ira. “When this happens, the work that we create will be as good as our ambitions.” Until we achieve our ambitions, and even when we achieve our ambitions, we must keep fighting!

Due to the fact that the third Sunday of December would be the 20th and it will be insane in the store we would like to move WARGS forward a week for this month.
This will mean that WARGS will be held on Sunday the 13th.
I imagine we will get a small turn out anyway due to the fact its getting close to christmas and the holidays but I still hope we will be able to get a few decent games and a chance to catch up before the end of the year.
Also if you wish to run a play test for Kapcon this is a good opportunity.
I'll be running the next in the Missions series ("A Knight at the Opera" ) assuming the mission comes to me in time.
Would anyone be interested in a quick Cthulhutech demo before/afterwards? I'm thinking maybe 30-60mins just showcasing the system, and maybe introducing the different levels of play?
What time is WGS open to again?
On a Sunday, from 1100 to 1530.
Can open earlier, or hang around later by request.
Yes please to the Cthulhutech! I also have the new mortal remains book that I can bring along if anyone wants a browse through it?
Well, just a few days out and my source for new Shadowrun Missions can't confirm that I'll have it in time. I hope to, but I should let you know there is probably an even chance that I won't have an official Mission for Shadowrun this time around.
A not so quick CthulhuTech game then?
Well, I'll be doing a very quick Cthulhutech demo anyway, I might have to grab one of Lukes Scenarios and flesh it out fully, if he's willing of course.
I might also bring a non-official scenario if there is any interest.
Im still keen for Cthulhutech but probably wont be able to make it much before 12.

HOMETOWN LIFE — FARMINGTON HILLS — The Christmas season brings a tremendous amount of joy for Farmington Hills resident Jeannine Gundle. In addition to spending time with her five daughters and their families, it’s the time of year when Gundle makes an annual trip to join several other women who volunteer to put up the holiday decorations at Rose Hill Center in Northern Oakland County.
This year, her visit will be even more meaningful thanks in part to her late husband, Don.
The center is a residential treatment and rehabilitation facility for adults with serious mental illness that sits on more than 400 acres in Holly. A few months ago, The Gundle Center, an education and therapy facility that includes a full-sized gym, computer lab, classroom and a fitness room for residents at Rose Hill, was formally dedicated in memory of Don Gundle.
Jeannine Gundle’s late husband, Don, had a lasting friendship with Rose Hill Co-Founder Dan Kelly and proudly served as founding board member and advocate for the organization, devoting much of his time and financial resources until passing away nearly a decade ago.
From helping neighbors with stalled cars to mentoring employees into their promotions, Don Gundle was a man who cared about other people’s needs, according to Jeannine Gundle.
Rose Hill’s comprehensive and effective program is based on the belief that recovery can take place when people receive professional psychiatric care and participate in meaningful daily activity in a consistent, compassionate and dignified environment. From daily therapeutic skills teams to the recreational leisure activities, each patient has the opportunity to achieve an improved level of mental and physical health while pursuing full and productive lives.
The ceremony was part of the successful conclusion of the organization’s $3 million capital campaign that will address several critically important campus enhancements to improve the patient experience, reduce lengths of stay and encourage patient participation in individualized treatment programs.
The improvements include: a new 5,000 square foot visitors center that serves as the gateway to Rose Hill while also providing administrative office space; two new and more energy efficient greenhouses with an adjoining work room that offers spacious accommodations for the horticulture team to grow flowers and plants; and a new fitness trail that encircles the campus perimeter, available for year-round use.
There are several projects remaining that will begin during the final phase of construction and are slated for spring 2015. In the meantime, Rose Hill’s work to return very ill people to their families and society as more productive, self-motivated and independent people will continue to bring a sense of pride for Jeannine and her family.

When I was younger I used to read tons of fiction. Then around high school I struggled to find good books to read. I wanted to keep reading and tried sports biographies for awhile (John Harkes, David Beckham, Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley are the ones I can remember). Really reading became more of a chore than an enjoyment.
Then came college. I didn’t have much time for non-assigned reading. Though there were a few times when I’d sneak down in a stairwell and fly through a book that a professor recommended. For awhile I got into the habit of reading a book I chose the last 15 minutes before I went to bed. I was surprised how quickly I made it through a few books just doing that. Then came grad school and the workload increased and forced me to become a faster reader. I also started to find more books that I really enjoyed reading – most of them were non-fiction. It wasn’t until I was given a kindle that I started reading by choice and in volume and reading fiction.
Since then I’ve found that I enjoy fiction. It is a good way to relax but still involves more mental energy than surfing the internet or watching TV. It is also a great way to learn about new cultures. One of the best examples of that recently was Island of the World. I got to the end and felt as if I’d seen a whole world of which I’d been completely ignorant before.
So is fiction worth reading? I’d say yes. It is a window into the world. It stretches your own thinking. It engages your mind. And usually it is enjoyable!
Do you read fiction? What do you read? Why do you read?
The weather has gotten colder. Lately we have had a lot of rain. What better to do than take a cup of hot apple cider and curl up with a good book! Okay, so have done that some, but more often with a three hour round-trip commute to school am reading on the often cold and always crowded bus.
So what am I reading now? I just updated the Reading and Reviews page with a few of my recently completed books. Check out yesterday’s review of Aaron Armstrong‘s book Awaiting a Savior←.
I am also still in the midst of Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy which is a great biography (a few quotes from early on) and has caused me to think a lot.
For one of my classes I am reading Turkey: A Modern History by Erik Zurcher. Not the most exciting book but a good political history.
What are you reading now? Any suggestions to add to my “to-read” list?
Before I get to the review of the book a little background on the publisher. Cruciform Press is a relatively new Christian publisher. Some might look at that as a negative, but in this case I think it is a huge positive. They are a publisher that is built for the digital world. Yes, they still have print books, but they also are extremely e-reader friendly. Their books come out on a monthly cycle and you can subscribe to have each months book delivered directly to you the first day of the month. The book length is also ideal for the digital era. They are shorter than your average book – typically coming in between 100-120 pages- which makes them a quicker read and very accessible for a wide variety of readers. The final aspect that I’ve really appreciated is that the books they publish are Gospel saturated. They deal with a wide variety of issues – social issues like adoption and abortion, morality, family and parenting, Christian living and more – but all of them are dealt with through the framework of the Gospel. This is a refreshing approach and makes their books highly recommended in my opinion.
Now – enough about the publisher – on to the review!
When I think about most churches that I know and the way that they engage the poor – both domestically and internationally – they fall into one of these two categories. Either “if it is to be it is up to me” or “God will wipe away ever tear from every eye, then so I don’t need to do anything now.” The approach that the author argues for is that the Bible has clear teaching on poverty that has direct implications for Christians today. That will be expounded later in the book.
The author begins with an examination of the causes of poverty. This is an important discussion and his viewpoint offers some clarity on the issue. He holds a somewhat controversial – for some – viewpoint: “The root cause of poverty is sin.” (loc. 85) Some interpret this as a “poverty as punishment” view. The author refutes this. It is not that this person or their parents sinned as a result they are in the current state of poverty (e.g John 9) but the entrance of sin in the world and the effects of the curse from Genesis 3 are responsible for man’s ultimate poverty – spiritually, relationally, and materially). With this in mind efforts that address only the material needs do not go far enough. Yet, on the same hand efforts that ignore the material needs do not go far enough either.
After looking at the cause of poverty he then turns to the biblical teaching and resulting implications. Through both the Old and New Testament there is evidence that God has a significant concern for the physical care of people – both believers and unbelievers. For those who are followers of God he expects “covenant faithfulness” and out of this Armstrong argues that it ought to then lead to “ethical faithfulness.” It is not rooted in our own goodness or morality but in the goodness of God and because in so doing God is glorified and made known to the world. It is not a matter of “legalism” that drives our actions – “I must do this so that I am right with God” – but because we are loved by God we ought to love others.

In this week’s installment, we take a look at the hidden costs of one of the most popular gadgets on the market today – the iPad Mini. It’s always tough to break down the total cost of products that we love, and the iPad Mini definitely qualifies as a product we love. Since its launch in October, the iPad Mini has broken Apple’s sales records and sparked a drop in the unit sales of its full-sized sister tablet: the original iPad.
The fact that the iPad Mini reigns supreme with consumers points to the obvious: for most shoppers considering getting their first tablet, the only cost worth considering is its price tag. At $329, the iPad Mini costs a full $150 less than a second generation iPad. Electronics like the iPad Mini are perfect examples of valuables that you can cover under your home or renter’s insurance policy in the event of theft or natural disaster. In some cases, you’ll need to purchase a “floater” or “rider” to list such items in your coverage.
While it’s a comparatively affordable electronic, ensuring that your iPad Mini is included in your insurance coverage can save you from having to purchase another and risk losing data included on the device. There are also companies that specifically offer electronic or Apple insurance, which can protect your equipment if you drop it and the screen shatters or spill liquid on it, for example.
But what are the additional costs associated with this tablet? The cost of an iPad Mini extends beyond monetary value. Will spending hours hunched over a 7.9-inch screen make us healthier? Will it minimize our environmental footprint? You’ll have to check out the video to find out how we’ve graded the Mini’s consumer impact. But we’ll give you a hint: the results aren’t too horrifying. And that’s good news as tablets become more affordable and more common: the enduring success of the iPad Mini indicates that the tablet market will not only survive alongside the laptop and PC markets, it might also one day overtake them.
Healthcare experts claim that tablets aren’t ergonomically suited for proper spine alignment, backed by a 2007 study finding the leading national cause of missed work days is chronic neck and back pain, or 1.2 billion disability days. A new survey conducted by Manhattan Research confirms the number of U.S. adults using tablet computers for health-related activities grew from 15 million in 2011 to 29 million in 2012.
Did you know it takes 75,000 trees to produce the Sunday edition of the New York Times? And according to the Environmental Protection Agency, over 2 billion books, 359 million magazines, and 24 billion newspapers are published every year and less than 50% of these products are recycled. If you’re an avid reader, you can reduce paper waste by purchasing e-subscriptions on your tablet.
Although the iPad Mini’s ultrathin and sleek design is far more intimate and convenient than its larger iPad counterpart, some reviewers argue its lower resolution and weaker A5 processor make the hefty $329 price tag less than ideal.

ALAN PARDEW insists he is not worried about the danger of being the first Newcastle boss to lose four derbies in a row to Sunderland.
Pardew's misery in Tyne-Wear encounters extends to five without a win - and only one success in seven in four years as Magpies manager.
A 1-0 victory at the Stadium of Light three years ago, thanks to a Ryan Taylor free-kick, is all that Pardew has had to celebrate against the Black Cats.
But Pardew, who has suffered 3-0 defeats on Sunderland's last two visits to Tyneside, maintained: "I think, this time around, we are much better set for this game than in the previous two here in terms of the spirit, quality and intensity in the group.
"Those things are very important in this game. Spirit, quality and intensity - that wins you games.
"There aren't many managers who were here longer than me, although Bobby Robson was one.
Pardew is confident that rookie keeper Jak Alnwick can make up for his costly error in the Capital One Cup exit at Tottenham in midweek.
Injuries to Tim Krul and Rob Elliot have left Toon with only Alnwick, 21, and Freddie Woodman, 17, as cover.
Pardew said of Alnwick: "I've certainly had a chat with him and I would have done that if he hadn't made a mistake because I think it's important to talk to young players when they come into the first team.
"I think he was unlucky with his mistake because he got punished severely for it.
Pardew confirmed he is considering his options in case Alnwick picks up an injury.
He added: "We have to be very, very careful, because one injury to Jak or Freddie and we do need a keeper.

Is it a conference? Is it camp?
Campference isn't really about the speakers. But here's a few of the many who will be there.
The Campference was a wonderful collection of the odd folks to minister to middle schoolers. And this was its beauty: you felt like you were among your kind. Such a refreshing time to be with people who speak your language and so rejuvenating to have sessions and material aimed specifically at that awesomely awkward stage of life.
The Campference had a huge impact on me – I loved meeting others in my tribe, who understood my calling and why I do the ministry that I do. The weekend was full of worship, deep conversations, and laughter – it was one of those weekends where we came as strangers and left as family.
Don’t be fooled by the laid back atmosphere and the self-proclaimed craziness of the ‘faculty’ – they – and the middle school leaders that attend are very savvy and discriminating. Top-drawer content and venue for middle school specific ministry learning.

The town of Boylston was first settled by John Wart in 1812. Wart and others had come to the area from the Cherry Valley area located to the south. On February 7, 1828, the town of Boylston was separated from the town of Orwell. By this time, many prosperous farms had been cleared from the virgin forest. The settlements of East Boylston , Boylston Center, and Smartville developed around small mills and streams. The town never hosted a major industry or rail link, but for two centuries, it exported timber and dairy products. A notable cottage industry in maple syrup has spanned generations in some families, and the product is viewed by many as the tastiest in the nation.

What is blooming in your garden today (other plants)?
Here's my front planter with a Suebelle white sapote tree in the center.
The bulbs showing off are: Anemones, Crocus (sativus), Dutch Iris (mauve queen), Ixia, Muscari, Narcissus, and Sparaxis. Also currently blooming are Scarlet Flax (Linum grandiflorum rubrum) and Mexican Heather (Cuphea hissopifolia).
Re: What is blooming in your garden today (other plants)?
daffodils, crocus, hycinths, other spring bulbs and some small little plants, like Hepatica.
Sometimes it is hard to decide to graft when the tree is in bloom. But I did graft anyway. Here's my late bloomer. Already the Japanese and Russian plums have shed petals and have fruitlets. The cherries and the nankings are in full bloom right now. The peaches and nectarine flowers are already waning. The European plums and the Native american plums are still at budswell. This plant alone have more than 10 prunus species or prunus hybrids grafted together, including almonds. It will have apricots next year. Perhaps within 2 years after some of the pluot plant patents have expired, I will graft those also.
So far it has several sweet Cherries, Japanese Plums, European Plums, Russian Plums, White Peach, Yellow Peach, White Nectarine, Yellow Nectarine, and one each of Almond, non-patent Aprium, non-patent Plumcot, non-patent Peach Plum hybrid, Cherry plum hybrid, and a couple of Nanking cherries.
the blooms are beautiful! i love trees that flower. thanks for posting this.
Here's one of my most beautiful flowering nectarine. Aside from fantastic fruits, the flowers are enchanting. Sometimes I just stare at them for hours doing nothing. Arctic Glo White Nectarine. This bloom is more than 15 days old. The blooms opened in March 1, and it still looked good yesterday. Very showy, big and long lasting flowers. There are other flowers of other peaches nectarines that are double and very showy. I might get those next year for double purpose duty, ornamental and fruit production. We can have both worlds too.
they almost look like azelias. and no i cant spell. lol. they are very pretty i love vivid colors. pastels are nice, but the other colors just pop.
This is supposed to be manzano apple. It survived this winter and lost all of its leaves and was surprised that it is now pushing out bloom. This was neglected three year old banana. I'm beginning to doubt that this is the real manzano apple. I have a bigger mother stem last year but that one was toppled over by the strong wind. This once daughter pup decided to bear blooms for the mother.
I'll wait and see if this is the real manzano apple.
Joe, my favorite peach is double-blossom "Saturn" -- not to be confused with the "Saturn donut" peach sold at grocery stores and some nurseries. Here's mine from Dave Wilson nursery on Nemagard rootstock. The blossoms are just about spent now and there are 2-3" leafs poking out just about everywhere. Immediately surrounding the tree are daisies that come up every year.
Wow! Nice big yard you have Richard! Thanks for the pics!
As for me, the mother plant is a plout and I have grafted many other plouts, apricots, and plums ( sse the tags) and all of them are blooming.
Joe: My next want to grow bananas is a manzano. Do you think it will survive here in Salinas? I used to have one a TC that I ordered but it did not survived. perhaps if I buy a bigger one it will.
But so far I can not find one even at we be bananas.
If you can wait, I can give you a pup when they come. It should be cold hardy enough for your place. At least the p-stem will survive there, and that's what's needed for a chance at fruiting.
Thanks Joe, like you said a few weeks ago the winter here in California was great for reaching expected chill hours.
Here's what the rest of my pit fruits are doing -- a grand 'ol Apricot that came with the property is dropping petals now after an enormous fruit set, a Green Gage plum that was solid white a week ago, and a Panamint nectarine that is just starting to show color.
As for the Pomes I'm currently growing, the Hood pear was solid in white 2 weeks ago but has mostly flushed out with leafs. On the other hand, the Pettingill apple has only poked out a few leafs at the top and does not bloom until April or May -- producing a harvest in the Fall.
I noticed that your trees are cut on top. I don't do that because I am Leary I can make a mistake. Is there any art of doing it?
Thanks Richard. I just pruned drastically my Italian prunes yesterday although they are now flowering. I know it is not time to prune and lost a lot of flowers but I can wait till next year. It is just getting too tall over 15 feet.

A private tour means you want the best possible “Wing-man” who’ll plan the logistics, supply your vehicle and do the driving, all you need to do is arrive at the airport where your personal guide will meet you at the baggage claim exit. He’ll explain everything you need to know about the clubs. He’ll make suggestions for local sight seeing ie. World War I and II, popular tourist stops, historic places as well as car factory tours and museums. The goal after all is to get you to the best clubs that suit your taste and needs. With over 20 years of experience and knowledge base your guide is an invaluable resource. Whether you just want someone to show you the robes the first time or become a repeat guest the guide will do his best to tailor your time to your liking.
Due to security reasons we are not allowed to tell you in advance which clubs we’ll select for your visit until you’re officially book*. If which clubs you personally want to visit are of importance please include them below and we’ll include them in your visit.
Once booked we’ll email you a very detailed information page on your trip including hotel locations and dates plus a list of suggested clubs and sightseeing stops.

In seconds, advanced ransomware encrypts a system, and since email is the tactic of choice to deliver ransomware, it must be blocked before it’s delivered. Trend Micro™ Deep Discovery™ Email Inspector detects and blocks ransomware spear phishing emails through advanced analysis techniques for known and unknown attacks. Custom sandboxing detects mass file modifications, encryption behavior, and modification to backup processes.
Custom sandboxes use virtual images to match operating system configurations, drivers, installed applications, and language versions. Difficult for hackers to evade, they include a “safe live mode” to analyse multi-stage downloads, URLs, C&C, and more. They identify ransomware activity, like mass encryption, backup modification, and encryption behavior. Deep Discovery Email Inspector uses runtime machine learning inside the sandbox to enhance detection capabilities.
Over 90% of targeted ransomware attacks start with a spear phishing attack. As a hardware appliance, Deep Discovery Email Inspector is deployed inline of message delivery and blocks these messages. It analyses known and unknown patterns and reputation analysis to detect the latest ransomware variants, such as WannaCry, and targeted attacks.
Deep Discovery Email Inspector is designed to quickly detect advanced malware that usually bypasses traditional security defences and exfiltrate sensitive data and intellectual property. Machine learning, specialised detection engines, and custom sandbox analysis detect and prevent breaches.
Deep Discovery Email Inspector gives you 360 degrees of visibility into targeted attacks on your email. Centralised visibility and control provided by Control manager which allows you to share threat information with other in place security investments. Control Manager allows you to share threat information with other in-place security investments.
Using Deep Discovery Email Inspector, organisations can dramatically reduce the time required to remediate and prevent targeted ransomware attacks. A single appliance that can block suspicious email and share threat information can also provide sandboxing to optimise incident response.
Deep Discovery Inspector is part of the Network Defence family of network security products including Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS).
Deploy Deep Discovery Inspector to monitor all network ports and over 105 protocols to provide 360 degrees of visibility.

When a mother has an abortion her other children are also affected. Many children are told that it is the woman's right and a good thing to do, but it is virtually impossible to protect young children from the conflicting emotions which the abortion of a sibling engenders. The love of parents, the role they have as setting the moral code in the family conflicts with the fear at the power over life and death which the mother clearly holds.
Many parents can cause harm to their children in the way that they tell (or with-hold) the information about the abortion of a sibling. Many mothers seek understanding and sympathy from their children – both sons and daughters, and do not consider their living children's needs. Children often struggle with fears (could something like that happen to me) and survivor guilt.
Abortions are often secret and siblings may not know that there was another baby until years later. In this situation the response is often 'oh, that makes sense of so much!' The mother's coldness alternating with over-protectiveness, the distance between the parents, the anger, the atmosphere of despair in the family, the emotional neglect.
It is often very difficult for siblings to get past their natural loyalty and sympathy – to see what has happened objectively, to consider the failure of one or both parents to protect their child. This can cause confusion in the heart and mind of a child which can continue into adulthood.
How old was mum when she had the abortion?
Who was the father/did he agree – insist – try and stop you?
What was going on in their life?
What happened when you went to the clinic – did anyone support you - go with you – know about it?
Were you pressurised to abort the baby?
Why couldn’t that baby live?
How much older/younger was I than my sibling?
Why do you need to know the answers to these questions?
This is part of your family history.
It makes sense of disturbed behaviour.
Secrecy is divisive, your family needs the trust that telling the truth brings.
Your sister/brother has been ‘stolen’ from your family.
The enemy can take advantage of us where there is confusion.
If this has not been spoken of freely in the family, especially between the siblings it is often helpful to share together the different experiences.
Others in your family (grandparents, aunts and uncles) might be prepared to help you understand better if your mum finds your questions too hard.
Now that I’m older I’d really like to understand more about what happened.
I’ve got lots of questions buzzing round would you let me chat with you?
