retraining skills in Northwich, Cheshire
A damp-proofing business in Northwich, Cheshire has recently taken on a new employee who has made a remarkable change in career direction. Freya Watkins has moved away from a career in HR consulting, and into the world of timber surveys and damp prevention.
This new career has required to get started – Freya now holds the CSRT qualification which is a widely recognised certification in surveying and remedial treatments.
The course is provided by the Property Care Association, and is recognised throughout the UK as the leading qualification for surveyors in the industry.
It is made up of three sub-courses – Timber specialism, Damp proofing, and Legal/Health/Safety.
There is an examination associated with each of the three modules. The exams can be attempted all at the same time, or spread out individually over a wider period if the candidate chooses to.
The exams comprise of both written and practical ID/oral testing. The written papers take around 2.5 hours to complete, and the rest of the testing takes around the same amount of time. Remember that this must be completed for each module, so it is a challenging task that requires weeks of preparation before entering. More information is available here.
Examinations are held regularly throughout the year, and there is a required reading list available on the Property Care website, which will give candidates all the information required to pass the examinations.
Having successfully completed all of the required tasks, Freya is now a fully certified damp proof surveyor and is working with Atlantis Damp Proofing in Northwich to field the wide range of requests that come in from customers in the area.
What Next?
This isn't the end of the road as far as surveyor training goes. There are many other specialisms which can be followed, including flood protection, japanese knotweed, and structural waterproofing to name a few. As you would expect, each of these specialisms comes with a learning curve, and learning from books alone is often not the best way to get the knowledge required. If you have the opportunity to volunteer with a similar company, it might be a good way to gain some of the experience needed for some of the trickier indentifications required by the role.
This is just one path that you could choose if you are looking for a new challenge in your career. There are obviously many others out there that you might never have heard of. It's worth talking to people you meet to find out what they do, how they got there, and what was involved. There are so many jobs out there that you've never even heard of, and new ones are being created every single day as technology and customer needs change.
If you have a good idea of the route you'd like to take then it may be possible to complete all of the necessary training, and possibly even the exams online. Official courses are often the best sources of knowledge, but tend to be expensive. You may find cheaper alternatives out there from experienced, but unofficial sources. It's always better to see if you can find reviews on these, as cheaper might not always equate to a similar quality standard, and may leave you sitting in an exam room without the necessary knowledge to succeed.

Nope, I'm sure after she kills David Miscavige herself, and then dies, then she'll start her billion years prison sentence. She was a robot, litterly, very robotic. She adhered to management policy on writing reports ie Green on White like it was the word of God, she was worse then a patty perfect. But the Ethics book went out the window. She's been implanted, I'm sure. Too robotic. She wouldn't have been able to handle her implants either. She's got a criminal SP hater case. Anti Semitic, she might have been a Nazi last life so Nazi Lines stopped her, dead in her tracks.
I also think she profiled David Miscavige before she even met him.
She's probably just public not Sea Org and won't go into the Sea Org and she's pissed off, enturbulated but doesn't know why. She might have been certified as a clear but she went anaten, unconscious after she died and left her body, 3 feet from her body. She had transgressions, not just on me but others and she never did amends to those people, including me. She never made her wrongs a right. She assumed who cares, I'll just get up the bridge and I'll be Aok. Well, shit don't work that way.
Her behavior, stabbing me in the back, the "I'm sorry" didn't help her soul. What she should have done if she was truly sorry, was to personally do amends to me. But she came in there with the intention, intent to take my job when I was hiring her. These types of people don't get too far in life. You can't go around stabbing people in the back, they think they can but not long term. It's a numbers game really and you stab enough people in the back, eventually some will just kill you. Now what you don't know, is how many people did Lisa Mcpherson stab in the back at her job in Florida, that publishing company? Her type 3 sit, didn't happen like they reported it in the news, the 17 days and voila she was dead. Nope, her type 3 sit was going on and on and on for months before she went to flag, at least 6 months. So who/whom was in her vicinity, who was she connected to, that was computing up a storm to kill her or rape her ie commit crimes against her, like they were when I lived on cumpston and 1998? And how many people was it? My guess is she was getting some people's computations to commit crimes against her, just like I did on cumpston and of course in 1998. Premeditated, I'm sure Tory Christman was one of those people as well as Stacy Young Brooks, they were all waiting for somebody to die on church premises, for years Stacy went on about it in her interviews, we all knew, somebody was gonna die and they did.
So, Lisa is here and alive, and on Social Media. She's very enturbulated, you people all cut across her 2D lines, her games. Her ultimate plan was to get with David Miscavige on the 2D, if she wasn't after him, she would have never did the chase with him. She was premeditating that since her and Lance Imbergia and writing all those reports up to Int management CCing COB on it all. Those reports are not public. But internal. She was already psycho, psychotic and Lance was just a test run until she made her way to int, uplines. She changed her name back to Mcpherson from Skinisky to match Miscavige. Look our last names match whereas Michelle Shelly Barnett's didn't. At Hanover she was Lisa Skinisky not Lisa Mcpherson.
Everybody in this church's management team eval's last names. I thought that was odd, it was on Marty's blog. As for her 2D history, maybe she had an out 2d with Marty Rathbun, remember he told his wife not legal married wife, Mosey that he cheated on Anne Rathbun and he knew that Miscavige was listening to their conversations, the private dix across the street with the listening devices, he wanted Miscavige to know. So if he did fuck Lisa Mcpherson, then when he entered that day, the day she attested to clear, Marty missed her withhold of wanting Miscavige for long term 2D, oh no, does he know, does he not know and that would have started the process of her type 3.
While crossing the wall of fire, I got Lisa's mental image pictures, she worked for David Miscavige in a galaxy far far away and had a 2D with him. Their 2D was cut short, David Miscavige went to jail, an incomplete cycle of action from OT3. Hence Miscavige the "I know her case" per Marty Rathbun. Of course he does, he's had 2D's with her in past lives. I'm sure she's been his mistress cause she's not marriage material. So, should be interesting to see if and when Lisa comes back and takes Miscavige out of the game called life. They can both spend all eternity together for the next billions of years. If that's not karma, I don't know what is or LMAO. Lisa Mcpherson was not fleet nor David Miscavige

I met him through a friend, that's my usual response and it seems too simple an answer, but it's true. Our friend Jenn brought us together and on the night we met I only noticed that he was terribly funny and seemed nervous or shy or uncomfortable. Now he tells me that's because he was intrigued by me, the new girl in a group of old friends.
Three months later I called Jenn to ask her to go to a movie or something and she had plans with Ryan, the funny shy one from the party. They were always just friends and so the three of us went out together and we were entirely just friends and I didn't care. For the first time, at the beginning at least, I refrained from the ruminating relationship questions...
Does he like me? Do I like him? Maybe we're just meant to be friends. Why can't I stop calling him? Why can't he stop calling me? We're just friends…
Then it happened one night, not the conversation or the kiss, that all came later. But this was more than that. This was the future speaking to the past speaking to the present and it felt like electricity between us
We were sitting on a bench attached to a wall that held up the building where his brother, the jazz musician, played with his band and we listened. I was listening to drums and a piano and a bass and so much more. There was space between us but something there, a thing I had never felt before no matter how many times in and out of love. My heart and soul were pulling past my ribs and reaching for him, that's what it felt like, and it was so palpable it was playing from the stage and in my mind, bringing the questions…
Wait. What is this? WHAT is this?
I didn't know then. Then, I just let it be butterflies while knowing it was something else I could never predict or know. A thing that left me reeling and seeing that this person was someone I could not imagine not being in my life.
What I know now is that I was being pulled toward this man, the one who would come to know me as wife and mother. The one who would listen to me cry in the night with confessions and see me through so many things. What sat between was the music of words and experiences through all the years to come, the kind that bind you up to being one person and you cannot be you without those memories with him. There they all were, what we have already seen and what we'll come to see, flowing through my ribs and out to his. There were endless days of mundane tasks and fights in which I would throw paper to make a point and he wouldn't even laugh at me. It was two pink lines times three and holding my legs still, to stop the shaking from bad news, again and again. It was laughter when he first tried babywearing and it was a trip to Florida and it was s'mores in the backyard and watching Friday Night Lights marathon style because we just can't stop. It was locking eyes on the way to the ER and it was a whisper, "He weighs 10 lbs, 10 ounces." It was a thousand inside jokes and even more moments of his putting up with my martyring whines and stomps. It was a silver band on his hand reaching for one on mine and it was the day under the trees when we vowed and we put our foreheads together like we did the day of the surgery on our little boy's brain and we just prayed. We just stood there and let our souls wrap up in need. Oh this is too heavy for us, we said through skin touch, help. It was addiction and recovery, diets and triumphs and failures and slamming down and picking up. It was passive aggressive adjustment to adult life and it was growth through pain and joy. It was fluid music that still plays when we fight it and look at each other through aggravated and exhausted eyes. It was fluid music that still plays when we go back to what we were, when we can take a breath for a moment and really see each other. It was my soul saying to his soul, Oh there you are, the one I love. Because a soul loves better than a mind or heart and so the day we met I guess they shook hands and decided to pull us through, whatever the funny or the uncomfortable or the right or wrong or in or out.
I have found the one my soul loves, and he is mine. I met him on a night when I was invited there to meet another guy, truth be told. But this is Life with its unpredictable surprises that turn out right no matter what detours we take. This is the life I can't imagine without him. This is what played between us, the night it flowed and we leaned to touch shoulders and kept going.

March 14th, 2018: Meanwhile, in the world of strategy gaming...14 Mar 2018 0
So, while we were busy trying to tame a hostile new land and taking out our frustration on the local villagers Dark Ages style, news happened. We're going to take this opportunity to once again wipe the slate clean and let you know about all the cool happenings you may have missed.
It's a BattleTech Life
In an effort to get us even more hyped, Harebrained Schemes and Paradox have released another trailer for their upcoming turn-based tactical mech combat game, Battletech.
For the first time we get a really detailed glimpse if the strategy layer – the bit in between the battles. From managing your Mechwarriors and your Mechs, to balancing the books as to your outfit's finances, the RPG/Management layer should hopefully be the glue that binds the whole experience together. Yeah, we're still excited, and April can't come quick enough.
Through the Ages PC
If you're a follower of our sister website, Pocket Tactics, you have spotted last September their glowing review of Czech Games Edition's excellent digital port of their popular civilization building board game Through the Ages. Not only that, but it went on to win three accolades in the 2017 Awards, including Games of the Year.
Fast forward to today, and we're pretty excited to learn that it will be hitting PC via Steam on March 26th. It'll be the same price as the mobile version for the week following its release, after which it'll increase in price. To what we don't know yet, but whatever it is it'll probably be worth it – this is an excellent game!
Kerbal Space Program Makes History
Not strictly speaking a strategy game, but I've professed a couple of times now that Kerbal Space Program is pretty freaking cool.
The first official expansion for the game – Making History – was released yesterday. We've spoken about what this entails before, but it's available for £12.99 | $15 if you want it. PCGN's Julian Benson already has some thoughts up – seems the actual mission packs aren't great, but the mission creator itself might just be worth the price of admission alone (plus the new parts will probably come in handy).
Prior to that, the game was updated to version 1.4.1, the details of which you can read here.
Games Workshop Games That's Not 40K Shock
It seems that in the grim darkness of the far future, there may not only be Warhammer 40K games. Auroch Digital are showing off some alpha gameplay footage of a project their working on with Games Workshop: Dark Future: Blood Red States.
It's a real-time strategy game based around Mad Max-style car combat, and is due by the end of 2018. The game's Steam page has also been given a complete refreshed, so you can go there to read up more about the gameplay and see more stills.
For reference: Dark Future was originally created in 1988 as a miniature wargame. There wasn't much beyond that original publication other than some advanced rules and White Dwarf articles, but this digital reboot was first announced back in 2015.
Dota Plus
MOBA's aren't something we usually cover either, but this seemed to be worth highlight at least. Valve recently have announced a new subscription service to replace their previous 'Battle Pass' system.
The new DOTA Plus, available for $3.99 a month, nets subscribers a whole host of new goodies – from an in-game assistant, to daily challenges and extra XP progression, and more. You can see the full list of features here.
That's all for today's update – we'll have more for you as the week goes on!

To address the growing burden of cancer, continued work in prevention, screening, early detection and treatment will be necessary. To effectively meet the growing demand for care, the leaders of provincially designated cancer programs have agreed to focus on sustainability, operational efficiency, risk management and quality and safety. As part of the CAPCA Strategic Plan 2015-2020 the association has committed to work across provincial discipline-specific and organizational boundaries in pursuit of a sustainable, efficient and safe cancer delivery system.
Cancer Drug Funding
The pan-Canadian Cancer Drug Funding Sustainability Initiative was lauched and led by CAPCA to support the provinces in drug funding decision-making. It built on existing drug evaluation by the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologiesin Health (CADTH)/pan-Canadian Oncology Drug Review (pCODR) and the Institut national d'excellence en santé et services sociaux (INESSS), and price negotiation by the pan-Canadian Pharmaceutical Alliance (pCPA). This work launched in 2016 to ensure Canadian patients continue to have access to new and effective cancer treatments and that our cancer system is achieving maximum value for money invested. For more information please check out Cancer Drug Funding.
Oral Cancer Drug Therapy
In May 2015 CAPCA released the Oral Cancer Drug Therapy Safe Use and Safe Handling Guideline which was followed with the Safe Use and Handling of Oral Anti-Cancer Drugs in Community Pharmacy: A Pan-Canadian Consensus Guideline in 2016. For more information on this work please check out Oral Cancer Drug Therapy.
Patient Safety
Through the establishment of the Systemic Therapy Safety Council in 2007, CAPCA has made a marked impact in the improvement of patient safety through the creation of Guidelines for Developing Ambulatory Chemotherapy Preprinted Orders, and support for national incident reporting systems for both medication and radiation treatment incidents. For more information on this work please check out Patient Safety.

Audrina Patridge has Michael Bolton's back.
The Dancing with the Stars competitor thinks Bolton, 57, deserves an apology from Bruno Tonioli, who scathingly chided the singer's jive number on Monday night's show.
"It definitely was really brutal, and Michael was really bummed out after that. I think he should say something," Patridge, 25, told UsMagazine.com at Thursday's Make Up Forever Boutique Launch at Sephora Soho in NYC. (Tonioli said Bolton's jive was "the worst" in the show's history.)
But, Tonioli has to be a little mean, the star admitted: "He is a judge, and that's his job to give his opinion and be brutally honest…If he was too nice, it wouldn't be an interesting show."
The show's producers stood behind their sharp-tongued judge. After Bolton's Tuesday's night elimination from the show, he demanded an apology from Tonioli for his withering remarks. In a Wednesday statement, producers said, "We don't feel Bruno should be expected to apologize for doing his job."
How does Patridge (paired with Tony Dovolani) keep her wits about her come show time?
"I get nervous and jittery before going out there with 700-800 people out there watching you. It's nerve-wracking!" she admitted.
"When I am on the dance floor, I just focus on Tony. I'm in this little bubble. That's all I focus on — otherwise, I will mess up."

One of the backbones of organic farming is organic vegetable farming to produce your own healthy and delicious veggies. There is no substitute for home-grown organic vegetables. Their taste, colour and texture are truly superior to their store bought counterparts and it is wonderfully satisfying to enjoy the fruit (and vegetables) of your own labour.
But how do you start? Well, first you need to understand some of the fundamentals behind organic gardening:
1. Crop Rotation refers to grouping the plants with similar soil requirement together and planting them in a different place each season. In this way you will make much better use of your soil and allow it to replenish lost minerals after each season. Crop rotation also helps guard against attacks from pests and diseases by developing healthier plants.
It is a good idea to divide the vegetable you want to plant into groups with each group containing vegetables that need a similar soil type, and then rotate these groups each season so they are sown in a different spot each year.
Here is an example of 4 vegetable groups for crop rotation:
• Group 1: cabbages, cauliflowers, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, onions, leeks and celery. (All these veggies grow well in soils with lots of manure or compost and generally enjoy cool growing conditions.)
• Group 2: carrots, beetroot, parsnips, turnips and sweet potatoes. (These root crops enjoy cool growing conditions and not as much manure to be added.)
• Group 3: tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, egg plants, lettuce and spinach. (These crops enjoy good amounts of manure and compost added to the soil.)
• Group 4: Peas and beans. (Legumes improve the soil quality if dug into the soil, and they do not require very good quality soil in order to grow well.)
2. Ensuring a continuous supply of vegetables can be very tricky and you don't want to have to eat tons of one vegetable all at ones and then not again for a whole year, so it is best to plant a few plants of each vegetable and to space out your plantings so at any one time you have a few plants producing vegetables, some still maturing and others just seedlings still. Plant a row or two of each vegetable about 2 weeks to a month apart for the duration of their planting time in order to get continuous supply in manageable amounts. But if you do happen to harvest a ton of one veggie at one time it is important to know what you can do with it, so take a look at our recipe pages to see how to cook up your fine produce and store it for the winter months.
For specific instructions on how to grow each crop refer to the growing guides for:
Fruit bearing vegetables
Leafy Vegetables
Root Vegetables
Salad Vegetables
Bulb Vegetables
Squash Vegetables
There is also information on
seed sowing
and a FREE
Vegetables planting schedule
to tell you what to plant when.
Each section does not include detailed guides as to how much and when to water the plants and assumes that you will water your vegetables regularly. In addition, all vegetables do well with additional liquid fertilizing – in the form of diluted manure or worm wee on a regular basis, especially when forming their fruits, so make sure you feed your plants regularly too.

5 More Ways to Relax, Recharge — and Actually Make Time for It
As a culture, we don't particularly like to slow down. Instead, we prefer to do most things on the go — like shoving a bagel in our mouth as we run out of the house. We tend to view pausing and relaxing as inconvenient, as interruptions that only impede our productivity.
We think of self-care and rest as optional, said Kimberlee Bethany Bonura, Ph.D, a fitness and wellness educator and exercise scientist. We think "that if we are strong and motivated, we won't need them." The problem? "[I]f we don't purposefully plan to relax and restore, we will do so in unproductive and unhealthy ways."
We might yell at our kids. We might drink too much on the weekends. We might crash on the couch, channel-surfing for hours without actually feeling relaxed or enjoying what we're watching. We might scroll through our social media feeds, only to feel cranky and disconnected, she said.
Plus, when we're constantly on the go, "our brains work in overdrive to compensate, and we can have side effects, such as insomnia, anger and irritability, mood swings, anxiety, and depression," said Rachel Dubrow, LCSW, a psychotherapist who specializes in helping people who feel buried under ongoing stress, relationship issues, anxiety and depression.
Below, you'll find five simple ways to relax, along with ideas for actually finding the time to unwind.
Practice square breathing.
"This is a Qigong breathing technique, which works well to help you overcome the mental chatter and quiet your mind," said Bonura, whose work focuses on mindfulness practices and moderate exercise as self-care to promote health and wellness. She noted that many people like to practice square breathing at night to help them calm down and fall asleep.
Here's how you do it: Inhale to a count of 5; hold the inhale for a count of 5; exhale to a count of 5; and hold the empty space to a count of 5. Do this for 5 minutes, and see how you feel, she said.
"If that feels comfortable, you can gradually extend up to a count of 6, 7 or ideally, 8." However, if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure, of if you're pregnant, keep your spaces to a count of 1 or 2, she said. (You shouldn't be holding your breath.)
Create a playlist.
"Create a playlist of music that makes you feel relaxed or happy," said Dubrow, who has a private practice in Skokie, Ill. For instance, her clients like Spotify's "100 Most Relaxing Songs Ever" playlist or the "Chill" category of playlists. Another great option is Pandora (such as Enya Radio).
Try a creative or artistic endeavor.
Studies have found that artistic or creative self-expression is both good for our mental health and our physical health, Bonura said. She shared these examples: singing in a choir; quilting; knitting; ballroom dancing; square dancing; tap dancing; playing an instrument; and using coloring books.
Similarly, Dubrow suggested signing up for a class that interests you. This might be anything from pottery to painting to music. "Finding a new hobby or picking up an old one can help you find the time to relax by doing something you enjoy."
Practice guided relaxation.
YouTube has an array of free and calming guided videos. Dubrow suggested trying this video and this video (the entire channel is excellent). She recommends this video for people who have anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Take a lavender-infused bath.
Bonura recommended taking a 15- or 20-minute hot bath with essential lavender oil. Some research has suggested that lavender baths may enhance psychological well-being. When taking your bath, dim the lights and close your eyes. If you'd like to read, use a paper book or magazine ("blue light emitted from devices like smartphones and tablets can be stimulating").
You might be thinking, "Well these ideas sound great. But when am I supposed to do them?" Bonura shared two suggestions: First look for pockets of time that you already have—and use them purposely. A common pocket is waiting. While you're waiting at the doctor, waiting for a teleconference to begin, or waiting for your child, avoid checking your email or social media. Instead, use that time to meditate, read a novel or knit a scarf.
"Shift your mindset so that those 5 and 10 minutes of waiting here and there become a gift you give yourself, only for the purpose of relaxing and enjoying yourself."
The second thing, Bonura said, is to identify what you're doing because you think you should—not because you need or want to. Maybe your "shoulds" stem from peer or social pressure or your own expectations of who you're "supposed" to be, she said.
Bonura typically sees this with working moms: You end up feeling guilty because you can't do everything, everything that you're supposed to be doing. However, "you don't have to rush your kid to a different extracurricular activity every night of the week. You can just play at the park and both have fun doing nothing." Or you can say no to events to give you more downtime to relax and play together, she said.
Unless you're on-call for work, turn off your phone in the evenings, she said. One study found that employees who constantly monitored their smartphones at night were depleted the next morning, which also diminished their engagement at work.
Again, relaxation is actually an important and productive use of our time. The key is to find activities that you enjoy and genuinely help you unwind.

Mercury from Capricorn makes incredibly productive aspects this week, setting a business endeavor on track and enhancing all negotiations. Look at the 13th, 15th and 19th for the most significant developments. Mid week is especially crucial, as Mercury transits the degree of the recent Capricorn Eclipse (January 5th) and an enterprise is discussed in critical detail. Something emerges from Tuesday into Wednesday that enables forward movement on whatever was initiated last weekend. The eclipse opened a portal of potential and this week Mercury will articulate the goals and how to accomplish them.
Some of this is going to be super harsh and demanding since Saturn and Pluto are involved. It could be time to pay the piper! At it's best, while the current climate is severe, it provides an opportunity to resolve serious long range issues by confronting them head on. An important objective can also be clarified. A detached disposition is helpful here, as well as a willingness to sacrifice what is inessential. Neptune sends in a gentle and compassionate love light and some inspiration that softens the intensity of other developments.
Venus and Mars collaborate from Sagittarius to Aries, so there is an exciting, sexy and enticing ambience underscoring everything else that transpires this week. Imagination, creativity and a sense of adventure – especially where you have never dared to tread – feature largely in these stars. This is obviously occurring in stark contrast to the Mercury vibes, perhaps the negotiation that is materializing is in order to make a fun project or relationship viable.
Jupiter enters it's retrograde shadow degree at 14' Sagittarius this week, and will retrace these steps between now and early November. From now to April 10th, (when the retrograde begins,) the opportunity exists to make a lot of progress, then revise as necessary through the Summer. With this process framed by the Jupiter – Neptune square, inspiration is a guiding light, though there could be some form of deception underscoring an endeavor. Tread carefully and stay strong this week! ✊🏽
ARIES March 20 – April 19
You feel passionate, motivated even, though career matters command a lot of your attention and appraisal this week. It's a great time to make a plan (and stick to it!) while communication is focused on your future. Some steps will be retraced through the Summer, but for the time being you have the potential to build your reputation and upgrade your professional position. Love is on your mind. Reach out and touch someone, even if they are far, far away.
TAURUS April 20 – May 20
You are likely planning for the future, and very much aware of the sacrifices or hard work ahead of you required to get there. This is a good week for planning and thinking through an objective that will get you on track. Meanwhile, your inner workings and most private experiences offer insights that enable you to release debilitating habits or beliefs that have been stifling your effectiveness. A close partner is likely the catalyst for this realization.
GEMINI May 21 – June 20
The social life is dynamic and stimulating, and a partnership seems to be going especially well. Finding someone who shares your hopes and dreams is possible now. Potential is high from this week into next. At the same time, some serious financial appraisals are likely now, particularly where you may rely upon the resources of another. A commitment of some sort is being made, just make sure you can live with what you agree to, as these are binding and definite.
CANCER June 21 – July 22
You may address some heavy topics within your partnership this week, and it's possible an understanding or accord is reached. An early version of a negotiation gets scrapped for something bigger and better. Something is sacrificed along the way. Professionally this is a brilliant period, and this week into next provide your best potential in a decade to realize a work or career dream that fills your daily life with excitement and creativity.
LEO July 23 – August 22
Romance and creativity are highlighted, and especially where someone or something might take you to a distant place you will discover exquisite pleasures. Things could be a bit more hard going at work, as there could be conflicts with colleagues, clients or the boss. An assignment you are given could be incredibly detailed if not outright difficult. You get through this by tapping into the inner resources of imagination and enjoying the spicy recreational aspects love is offering you this week.
VIRGO August 23 – September 22
You are in the process of making a serious commitment where love is concerned. On the other hand if you are looking around and you find yourself alone, it could be time to accept you need to make some changes. On a more personal level this is a very satisfying time and this into next week could see you making substantive progress in your domestic life, perhaps moving or even purchasing a house. Those most familiar to you provide incredible comfort.
LIBRA September 23 – October 23
Domestic reorganization is required, though you can make exceptional progress on longstanding issues if you confront reality and let go of the past. Whatever was is no longer, and this crucial understanding is the way out of an endemic situation. The love light is burning bright and could actually provide the inspiration to make certain changes. From this week into next, you have some of the best prospects in a decade to establish an incredible partnership.
SCORPIO October 24 – November 21
A critical negotiation or contract is in frame this week, and you are likely nailing down the details on this one throughout the week. Something of remarkable significance comes to fruition over the first week of next month, this is the time to handle the details. A financial/professional upswing also holds positive potential and cues this week are only a fragment of what is in store leading into next week's dynamic eclipse, driving home the ambitions you have nurtured over the last year and a half.
SAGITTARIUS Nov 22 – Dec 21
It's a phenomenal week for your most personal visions to come to life and fruition, a trend that continues right through next week's brilliant Lunar Eclipse in Leo. A cherished wish is about to be granted. More concerning are critical financial matters and you might have to face the music where your resources are concerned. Consulting an advisor can be very useful here. In any regard, an important discussion or handling routine paperwork is a requirement this week.
CAPRICORN December 22 – January 19
You are busy making sure your voice is heard in important negotiations this week, though maintaining a sense of humor keeps things from getting too heavy and benefits your position immeasurably. Events mid week in particular accelerate a narrative you have attempted to put into motion since the Jan. 5 eclipse in your sign. These will get locked down in early February, keep at it. Personal life is stimulating and provides immense satisfaction.
AQUARIUS January 20 – February 18
You are dealing with critical matters (and messages) from behind the scenes. Your intuition is off the charts sensitized and it will be easier than ever to read between the lines. Socially this is a highly fruitful period and from this week into next, coalescing into the Full Moon Leo Eclipse next week, which could significantly change your relationship status. A resolution to the events of the prior year and a half come to closure.
PISCES February 19 – March 20
You have the professional advantage from this week into next as developments, particularly financial ones, give you an edge towards career advancement. You are in the midst of an important agreement with a group or collaborators. Conversations have serious overtones, but this is appropriate since agreements made now will be long lasting and shape the future in big ways. You can weigh your options for now, but by the first week of February, something is written in stone.

• Go at Your Own Speed in the Privacy of Your Home
One-on-One 'VIP' Program
Custom Program Developed for you by Your Expert Practitioner
• Flexible Appointments with Board-Certified Practitioner
• Fast, Personalized & Proven System to Get Rid of the Root of the Fear
Getting rid of Agoraphobia: How It Works
Re-'wiring' your unconscious mind is the key to this program – and its safe and surprisingly easy to do. Your rational mind knows that your Agoraphobia is illogical. The reason the fear continues is because the subconscious has connected it to a wave of dominant negative feelings which occur automatically when you even think of open spaces.
You have not been able to prevent your feelings of fear because you have not been given the methodology to change your feelings and associations. We're here to give you give you what you need to take back control. Interested in putting these techniques to use?
- A Board-Certified Practitioner is ready to speak with you. Contact Us Now Contact Us Now >
The Only Real Solution to Your Fear
We don't, in point of fact, 'treat', nor do we 'cure'. The only person with the authority to change your awareness is you. We're going to walk you through the process that helps you re-program that tricky subconscious thinking.
You will learn how to cultivate positive feelings while learning to combat and eventually vanquish negative feelings that cause your fear. Why keep living your life with negative emotions when you can easily change them? You can decide that it's time for the negative feelings to change.
Agoraphobia Risk Factors and Triggers
In most cases, Agoraphobia (although not always) is triggered by an extremely negative encounter from the past. The mind will, in some situations, generate the fear without an apparent cause. By exposing the root cause, you will be able to remedy the problem by easily exchanging harmful triggers. People who are at the greatest risk include:
• Individuals who possess tendencies of apprehension
• Someone considered to be 'easily upset'
• People suffering from adrenal insufficiency
Any of those portray you? To find out what others are saying about our ability to help, click here.
You can also read what the media has to say.
Diagnosing Your Phobia
To find out the gravity of the problem for you, use our 2 minute Online Assessment for Agoraphobia Online Test although it is fairly clear cut: The time to act is now, if this phobia is causing negativity in your life.
- Does the thought of Open Spaces make you nauseous?
- Do you instantly get dry mouth and moist palms?
- Does your heart beat like a drum?
- Do your legs turn to rubber?
Those are just a few of the symptoms. Click to find out more about the symptoms of agoraphobia.
We help you with the symptoms, as well as find out the basis for them. That's why we're here
Drugs and Prescriptions
To use <pills and medication for Agoraphobia> isn't supported in our program because we believe they act as 'camouflage', That said, you should follow your doctor's recommendations and always and seek proper medical advice if you want to change any medication. Drugs may produce a short-term improvement by masking symptoms, but they never tackle the core problem of the overwhelming automatic fear response to open spaces.
There is no drug specifically for Agoraphobia – and with so many potential side effects, who wants to risk taking medication as a solution?
The good news is with CTRN you will overcome Agoraphobia, without prescription pills..

As restaurant advertising and marketing moves from leaflets and Yellow Pages to Facebook and Websites, getting great photos of your restaurant or take out has become increasingly important. Great images can make or break a website, and your postings on Facebook have a much better chance of going viral when they are accompanied by great photos. In this blog article, we will look at some very cost effective ways to get your photos, discuss some great subjects for your photos and lastly, how to get the most out of your photos.
Getting a professional photographer can be very expensive, but having photos that really convey what your restaurant, food and atmosphere is an important part of your overall marketing message, so if you don't have the money for a pro, here are some ideas to help you get the pics that you need.
- Approach a local college or TAFE that runs professional photography courses. The students need to build a portfolio of commercial customers, so many will be keen to provide you with free photos in return from the ability to practice their skills on
- Run a competition – this helps to build customer engagement and will also provide you feedback on what people think of the food. Get people to post the photos to your Facebook site. Many of your customers will have mobile phones with great cameras and if the competition is advertised on Facebook, the web and via your emails, people can bring in their good cameras to take that perfect shot.
- Take them yourself. The capability of small cameras has become incredible over the last 2 years. Last year, all of our great photos were taken with a Canon digital SLR camera which was big and bulky. Now our camera of choice is the Panasonic Lumix ZS-19. It takes ridiculously good photos and is compact enough to fit in my pocket, so I can take the camera everywhere I go.
What should the photos be of? That depends on your business plan and what makes your business unique.
Food – One of the big reasons people come to your restaurant. It is part of the story about why people will come to your restaurant. Photos of your significant team members also creates a more personal feel to the website.
People – A bar or a more social environment lends itself to photos of people enjoying themselves and having a great time. Don't forget your team. Is your chef famous? Is the team young and vibrant, distinguished and stylish, photos and the story about them helps get the message across about your business.
Environment and surroundings – Is there something unique about your position or interior? Are you by the beach or do you have stunning high rise views.
So now you've got some great photos of your food, your people and the restaurant itself. What is the best way to use them?
Facebook – Photos should almost be the default setting for all of your posts for Facebook. We find we get a lot more traction with posts that are accompanied with a photo than just straight text. Great photos have the chance to go viral, where more and more people share the photo. Photos of people work well, because if someone recognises a person in the photo, they can tag them increasing the viral effect of the photos. Don't forget to add your logo to the photo. You don't want a great photo going viral and people not knowing where it originally came from.
Website – A lot of people should be visiting your website and for new visitors who haven't been to your restaurant, the old adage holds true, "A picture is worth a thousand words". Great photos can make a big difference to the conversion rate of people who see your website and who actually make a booking. We see a lot of photos especially as new customers come on board and need help uploading photos and one of the occupational hazards is that sudden feeling of great hunger when you see a photo of a great meal.
Today we have discussed some great cost effective ways to get great restaurant photos, what the subject of those photos should be and how best to use those photos. We hope these tips help you to find more customers. If you have any questions or comments, please email us at [email protected].

In January, the cash-strapped Haitian government bowed to pressure from the International Monetary Fund and withdrew the state subsidy pegging petrol, diesel and kerosene prices at well below the world market rate. The price of vehicle fuel shot up, with an immediate knock-on effect on the cost of public transport. Kerosene, used as a light source by poor people, almost doubled in price.

Leonardo DiCaprio finally won an Oscar on 28 February when he received the 'Best Actor' prize at the 88th Academy Awards for his role in revenge western The Revenant.
The 41-year-old had been nominated five times previously for an Oscar over a glittering career spanning 25 years. But he was favourite this time to finally take home the best actor Academy Award this year for his gruelling portrayal of a fur trapper left for dead in an icy wilderness after being mauled by a bear.
In a fight for survival, comparable to his fight for the Oscar, his "Revenant" character Hugh Glass treks through snow-covered forests, gets swept away in a waterfall, sleeps inside the carcass of a disemboweled horse and hungrily eats raw bison liver before making it back to his camp.
DiCaprio being snubbed by the Oscars has been made famous by a lot of memes and recurrent jokes on the web. A syndrome that Oscarologists call the 'Slap the Stud' Syndrome, according to this article by the Los Angeles Times.
"The theory goes that many academy voters are geezer guys who love the younger fillies but resent the handsome bucks. Their message to these Hollywood heartthrobs: "You already have it all – fame, fortune, and females aplenty. So, sorry pal, no Oscar for you, just yet."
In his acceptance speech, DiCaprio, who received a standing ovation, said: "Let us not take this planet for granted. I do not take tonight for granted."
In this video IBTimes UK looks at what might have been going through Leonardo DiCaprio's mind as he was honoured with his long awaited Oscar.

Quote of the Day
"While the authentic details of Jesus's childhood are sparse, we can learn a great deal from the country and area of His youth..."
~Alfred Edersheim (from "Jesus' Childhood: The Missing Years?")
Today's Answer
The Revolutionary Idea of Praying to the "Father"?
Jack Graham
When Jesus told his disciples to pray to their Father in heaven, it was a revolutionary idea to them as Jewish men.
Because up until then, the disciples knew God by other names like Adoni and Jehovah. And they knew God as Yahweh, which was his personal, covenant, and most holy name.
But now Jesus was saying to these men, "When you pray to this almighty God, start by saying, 'Our Father in heaven.'" Jesus wanted them to grasp the intimate relationship they could have with God… a relationship much like an earthly father has with his children.
Jesus could have taught us to pray, "Our Creator who art in heaven" as God is our creator. But no, Jesus said, "The secret to connecting with God starts by talking to God your Father"!
As God's child, you can be sure that he is listening for you to call his name in prayer. He is your Father who lives in heaven, you are his child, and he loves you.

Accused Central Park Rapist Has History of Attacking Elderly Women
David Mitchell has been charged with raping a 73-year-old woman in Central Park.
Sept. 14, 2012 -- The man accused of raping and robbing a 73-year-old birdwatcher in New York's Central Park has a lengthy criminal record and a history of attacking elderly women.
David Mitchell, 42, was arrested on Thursday evening and charged early this morning with rape, criminal sex act, robbery and assault, according to court documents.
Mitchell has a chilling history of attacking elderly women.
As an 18-year-old in 1989, Mitchell was charged with sexually assaulting and murdering 86-year-old Annie Parks in West Virginia, according to news reports from the time. When a plea deal in which he would have pleaded guilty was rejected by prosecutors, the case went to trial and Mitchell was acquitted.
Months later, he was accused of breaking into the home of a woman in her 70s and sexually assaulting her. He served eight years for the robbery charge and the sexual assault charge was dropped as part of a plea deal.
He later served another eight years in prison for a kidnapping in Virginia, according to ABC News' New York affiliate WABC.
After the attack, police released surveillance footage of Mitchell leaving the park. On Thursday evening, three rookie cops recognized Mitchell on the street in New York and apprehended him, according to WABC. He spat at reporters on his way out of court.
Mitchell is being represented by an attorney from New York's Legal Aid office. The office did not respond to request for comment.
The victim said Mitchell's attack was not random.
About two weeks ago, the victim caught Mitchell allegedly committing a lewd act in the park and took his photo. He confronted her, but she refused to give him her camera.
"This was a revenge attack," the victim told ABC News' New York station WABC. "All I was doing was praying to stay alive."
The 73-year-old birdwatcher and photographer was in the park on Wednesday when she said the incident occurred around 11:50 a.m. According to media reports, the man approached the victim and said, "Do you remember me?" He then attacked her.
When the attack was over, the victim said, "He pushed me into the dirt on my face, and he said, 'You stay there. You count to 100.'"
College professor and birdwatcher Eric Ozawa, 34, found the beaten woman in the park. He entered the park around 11:30 a.m. on 72nd Street near the park's famed Strawberry Fields, designed as a memorial for John Lennon, who was killed at the nearby Dakota apartment building.
"As I was working my way along that path, I could see up ahead what looked like somebody lying down and I initially just assumed it was somebody sleeping," Ozawa told ABCNews.com. "All I could see were someone's legs, from the knees down, and their feet."
As he moved closer, he looked in that direction again and was surprised to see that someone was sitting up and gesturing for him to come over.
"It was a small woman who, as I approached, I saw her face was badly beaten and swollen and then she told me that she had been raped and I took out my phone to call 911," he said.
When he got the police on the phone, the woman said that she wanted to speak to them.
"She wanted to speak to the police. She was ready to do that," he said. "She was incredibly lucid and together, given the circumstances."
Ozawa said the woman was not crying or panicking, and he thought she may have been in shock.
The woman was treated at a hospital and released. She has two black eyes, bruises on her arms and legs and a broken finger. But she said the attack will not prevent her from returning to her beloved park.
"It's majestic, it's very soothing and I'm not going to stop," she said. "Nobody is going to take that pleasure away from me. This was just one animal."

SOURCES OF INSPIRATION or, HOW ON EARTH DID YOU COME UP WITH THAT IDEA?
By Helen Kirkman and Maree Anderson
Intro – Where do we find ideas?
HK:In my own experience, when I first started writing, ideas seemed to come out of the air, no problem at all. But after a while, I had to work harder for them and this is when we come to the interesting part.
Becoming Observant
HK:How did I find the ideas? Something Julia Cameron said in her book "The Artist's Way" really struck me and that was her advice on becoming more observant. I really started looking at things, partly as a book plotter – is there a story in this? And partly really looking at things to get at the deeper layer of what they are and what they mean.
MA:Absolutely! I got my start in writing by reading—no surprises there! I read a series I'd already read before, only this time, I flicked to the back of the book and read the author's afterword. Normally I wouldn't have bothered, being too eager to get on to reading the next in the series.
The author, Stephen Donaldson, talked about another well-known writer's process, how he begins with an idea about something "familiar" and impacts it with something "exotic", usually some SciFi setting. Whereas Donaldson does the exact opposite. He starts with the "exotic" idea and impacts it with the "familiar". For some reason, that statement just clicked with me and, don't ask me how, spawned a fantasy trilogy about a blind Seer.
So be observant, open your mind and perhaps read something you normally wouldn't. Who knows, there could even be an entire trilogy waiting to pounce!
Cultivating a Sense of Fun and Adventurousness
HK: The other thing that helps inspiration is keeping a sense of fun and adventurousness in your thinking, allowing a sense of unlimited possibilities. It's easier to find inspiration if you let your mind explore initial possibilities without censoring them. We're at the stage of discovering an idea and asking the "what if" questions.
My best inspirations have come when I have not thought whether an idea fits the expected mould. At the initial stage of a story, I try to allow myself to think of any possibility which can be put forward without fear of its being criticised or rejected.
I can be critical later. Sure, not all these initial ideas are going to work, or be suitable. Or if they are suitable, they will probably need modifying, but this is a different part of the creative process I can save for later.
My story is a work of imagination. My characters are not me. They can do anything and be anything and to explore those possibilities, I need my sense of adventure.
If inspiration has not magically appeared at exactly the moment I've wanted or needed it, I've sometimes descended into despair, desperation or teeth gritting. This does not help. Trying to force an inspiration does not work with me.
Yes, if I need that inspiration now for my deadline, I can grit my teeth and use determination and fortitude, but I try not to let the subconscious, creative part of my mind know that I am doing this. This is a feat that requires double think. Everyone is different, but my creative self does not work well if it is harassed by business considerations. It wants its adventurousness to be supported by an underlying sense of safety.
MA: I like that analogy: my creative self going into hiding if it's being harassed by "real life" concerns. Boy, can I relate!
And I've never been able to censor my ideas to "fit" a mould…which is probably why I'm not yet published in full-length fiction! But let's go there, coz this isn't a workshop about getting published, it's about ideas and inspiration. And for me, writing is all about the idea and the characters running round in my head, keeping me awake and night and demanding to have their story written. Or maybe it's about getting it down on paper before I go nuts!
Anyway I don't censor myself and wonder whether anyone's going to like my idea. I just write it and hope it'll eventually find a home. As Helen said, I can be critical later. I can cut it to bits and tighten it, play round with the pacing, tweak it to make it more appealing to a particular publisher later. What's important for me at the beginning of the process, is the "fun" bit. Having that initial inspiration, writing like a mad-person and seeing where the story takes me.
And often, I have my "exotic" idea, I have my beginning and my ending…and no freaking idea what's gonna happen in between. How much fun is that?
You get that I'm a pantser, huh? I generally write the story and then struggle with summarising it into a coherent synopsis. But going with the flow is not to say I can't plot if I get stuck and inspiration has ground to a halt. If—when—that happens, I find it useful to quit struggling with the manuscript and write the damned synopsis. Having that done, knowing the story is plotted and I can fall back on it if I need to, tends to coax my inspiration from the hole it's crawled into and give it wings again.
Places to look
HK: So, becoming more observant and seeking inspiration means I no longer look at the newspaper or the TV news and documentaries just to know what was going on, I look for the human interest angle, the angle that gives a good, gripping, emotional story, because that's what our stories are about, especially romances—the emotional experience.
This has been a journey of new experience for me, as I'd never been a great reader of human interest stories. But, different things started to trigger different responses than what I was used to. Sometimes this was serendipity, just luck. I'd be browsing the local paper, for example, and there was a story about a young lad with muscular dystrophy who has a "mobility dog" that can pick up items he drops, tug slipping blankets back onto his bed and press the TV remote for him.
I'd never have read that story three years ago and it's not the first thing I would have thought of for a historical, but now it was triggering the "what if" questions. Suppose I had a heroine with some kind of disability and a mystical, almost witch-like affinity for animals? I haven't written that story yet, but I have the idea, and the newspaper cutting.
I've learned to broaden my interests. Watching sport bores me to sobs, whereas other family members love it. So there's always sport in the house and a couple of seasons ago when they interviewed one of the rugby players, I was more interested than my husband. Why? Because this person leapt off the TV screen to me as an example of a boy who started from a hard background and became a success—and that's one of the archetypes for a romance hero. Little bits of his experience inspired a different creation in my imagination—the hero of "Captured".
Objects and images can be good, too. It might be a beautiful image you like to look at. For example, the hunt for the sceptre in "A Fragile Trust" was inspired by a real Anglo-Saxon sceptre I saw at the British Museum.
Or it might be a place and its romantic atmosphere.
Maybe it's some aspect of love/life, some particular emotion you feel you want to explore.
MA: Ooooh, where to find ideas! Let me count the ways. It can be a phrase which speaks to me. An article in a magazine. A non-fiction book. A fiction book. TV programs. Movies. A snippet of conversation overheard. An object.
Okay so I've told you about how the first book in my fantasy trilogy got started, the whole blind seer thing. The second book was inspired by a saying:
"Power corrupts. And absolute power, corrupts absolutely."
What if my Seer's daughter hasn't inherited her mother's powers? What if she craves power so terribly she gets everything she wished for…and it's a curse, not a blessing?
The 3rd book was inspired by a phrase I found while surfing the Net.
"From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven. And when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, their streams of light flow together and a single brighter light goes forth from their united being."
That triggered the whole concept of "soul-mates" and a hero who has to choose between the love of his life and the lives of his people.
My Crystal Warriors were inspired by a book called The Crystal Bible. Some of the crystals had such wonderful masculine-sounding names—wulfenite, kyanite, malachite—I thought it'd be fun to write about warriors named for their crystals and imprisoned in them.
When Lightning Strikes: I read one of those travel articles in a weekend paper about slick-rock bike tours in Utah. It mentioned Utah has the second highest incidence of lightning strikes in America. Yeeha! Aliens who ride lightning and prolong their lives by healing the bodies of people who've just died in a lightning strike, and merging with their departing soul. What would happen if the victim didn't die and the alien was stuck sharing a body with the victim?
Scent Of A Man: a photo of a woman in a magazine, cuddled up to a guy and blissed out on his scent. The article is about men's fragrances and its by-line is: "In a world of equal opportunities, men are smelling as good as women—well, nearly." So I ended up with a hero who exudes pheromones which make him irresistible to women. All women. Even his mother and sisters. Which is horrific, to say the least, and not at all what you'd expect.
And of course, the sum of everything I am right now, every experience and emotion and the people I've met, are all inspirations for my stories…much to my friends' amusement when they understand my upcoming Red Sage novella is an erotic romance!
Specifically Historical (and Paranormal/Fantasy) Places
HK: Now, being a historical writer, I can also browse through historical sources, which can be history books, or biographies, perhaps letters from the time period. I know Sophia James has been inspired by a Keats poem for one of her rich emotional stories.
We're looking on two levels again, looking at events and facts and also looking in a more playful and imaginative way for something dramatic, quirky, romantic or interesting that reeks of story— something I can use straight, or adapt. For example, I've used a straight historical event—the siege of Wareham—for the plot of "Untamed". Whereas for "A Fragile Trust" I've used a romantic legend about King Alfred disguising himself to infiltrate the enemy camp and adapted this to spark something my hero does.
Books on historical daily life can be good to browse, because often some quirky difference between the way things were done then and the way things are done now, can inspire ideas. Daily life is interesting because in some ways it's so different and in other ways it's remarkably the same, remarkably 'modern' because people's wants and desires and the trials of daily living are something a reader relates to.
It's much like flipping through newspapers and magazines and watching TV and films for contemporary writers.
MA: Because I mostly write "fantasy" worlds, I'm not obliged to be historically accurate, but I do have to set rules and stick to them, so my readers don't have to suspend belief. And I sometimes surf the Net and find well established "New Age" ideas which I can make my own. Like my seers being able to "see" auras and tap into life-energy to boost their own powers. Or my Crystal Warriors having personalities and qualities which match their crystals. I often find my first draft contains a veritable info dump, as I struggle to explain my concept. And of course, I eventually have to cut it down and retain the essence of the idea, so I don't bore my readers to bits and beyond.
But with Scent Of A Man, I sat down and did actual research before I began writing….from a book and everything, LOL. I used Georgette Heyer's Regency World as a basis for my hero's world. I love reading Regency novels, so I envisioned my hero as a rich young Regency-period Lord. And I painted his world accordingly. Then I twisted it by having all the females subjected to strict rules about behaviour and dress. They're forced to dress like Quakers and cover themselves completely. They're not even allowed to wear perfume.
Do your research to come up with something quirky or a different take on something that might have been done before. Devise your world and the rules and then have fun putting your characters through hoops, testing them and stretching them in ways that your reader can relate to, regardless of the fantastical setting… or the neighbouring werewolf pack.
The right mindset
HK: So to me, it's about developing the right mindset. Part of the inspiration is conscious. For example, I went out of my way to watch and read President Obama's inauguration speech because he's a good orator and I want to write a character who inspires people to follow him.
Part of the process is subconscious. Things that used to pass me by now leap out and hit me at unexpected moments because I've become more receptive. Part of me is now subconsciously looking at the world in a different way. I watch events and people in a different way.
MA: I totally agree. Now, even when I'm submersed in a fantastic book, often something will just jump out and smack me right between the eyes. And now, even if I'm in the middle of writing, some little germ of an idea will bite me and niggle away so much I'll have to scrawl it down on a piece of paper and pin it to my notice-board before it'll give me any peace and let me get back to my current wip.
In fact, my notice-board is full of little scraps of paper scrawled with sayings and phrases and poems and notes and such. Even a couple of quotes from The Economist are pinned up there. I don't try to figure out why they caught my attention, I just know they did. And one day, I'll need them.
What does inspire us individually?
HK: Personally, I'm more of a character based writer, so I usually come up with a character and his/her inner conflict and an opening situation and work out my book from there. Others may be inspired by a plot point. It's interesting to think about the kinds of things that inspire you and to make sure you have an open mind to them. But nothing is a hard and fast rule. Different things will inspire you at different moments.
MA: Whatever kind of writer you are, don't sweat it. Just read and watch and listen. Be open to whatever catches your attention. And if you haven't got a photographic memory and are prone to having "grey moments" like I am, then ALWAYS carry a notebook and a pen so you can jot down your inspirations as they hit you.
HK: We did an exercise with an 'inspirational item' when we gave this workshop at the March RWNZ Auckland meeting and we found that the same item triggered different responses in different people because our minds are running on different tracks, depending on what we like to write and how we think. The aim of this workshop was to inspire us to tap into our own individual creativity and nurture it and free it to do its job for us.
MA: So go forth and be inspired!

START Takes Another Hit
President Barack Obama's New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty is looking increasingly imperiled – at least for the lame-duck session of Congress.
A day after Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl (R., Ariz.) said he would not support a vote on the treaty this year, retiring Sen. George Voinovich (R., Ohio) took to the well of the Senate to voice his concerns that Russia could be backsliding toward aggressive territoriality, imperiling the "captive nations" of Eastern Europe.
"Political expediency should never be an excuse to rush to judgment on public policy let alone our national security," he said. "I cannot in good conscience determine my support for the treaty until the administration assures me our 'reset policy' with Russia is a policy that enhances rather than diminishes the national security of our friends and allies throughout Europe."
Mr. Kyl was the White House's road to votes among the most conservative Republicans in the Senate, but Mr. Voinovich is a more moderate voice. Failure to win his support could make the 67 votes needed for treaty ratification impossible.
