2018 Everon Creative
Does your business need a boost on Social media? Leeds social experts Everon Creative can build you an audience that generates sales.
Social Media Marketing (SMM) is a great way to gain traffic and notability through social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.
Social Media /twitter-management/is also expanding rapidly. Long gone are the days where SMM meant writing a status update or sending a single tweet. Nowadays SMM is merging with PR and content creation and becoming an ever more valuable tool. Mainly when it comes to people seeing your content and sharing it.
The word 'viral' is over-used. Viral content is not something that can be created. However, you can increase its chances of success by understanding your customers. You can do this by interacting with your customers through social media and creating information you know they will care enough about to share.
Everon Creative know all about SMM and can tailor a bespoke plan to improve your existing media presence. We know all about the content that spreads, the best times to publish material for maximum exposure and have all the right tools at our disposal to do the job efficiently and effectively.
We will link your G+, Twitter and Facebook pages to your website/blog to ensure the maximum social signals to Google. If you don't have these pages we can help you set them up and we will also offer advice on what, when and where to post.

When we work out your benefit we take into account the following details -
If you and/or your partner are working we take into account all of your pay but deduct income tax, national insurance and half of any money you pay into a pension scheme.
There are certain benefits which we do not take into account i.e disability living allowance and attendance allowance, however you must still tell us about and provide proof of all income you receive.
We also need to be told about all your savings and investments. We disregard the first £6000 of your savings and investments however please still provide us with proof.
If you get income support, jobseekers allowance (income based) or employment support allowance (income related), you may receive maximum benefit based on your eligible rent.
An applicable amount is the amount the government says you need to live on each week and your benefit will be calculated by comparing the level of your income to this amount.
Your applicable amount is made up of three parts -
These amounts are set by the government and normally change every year.
If you are a private tenant and make a new claim your entitlement will be calculated using the Local Housing Allowance rates.

From as early as 12 months to four years, our youngest children flourish happily in the safe and nurturing environment of our Nursery, underpinned by an excellent early years curriculum that equips them with the skills and confidence for the start of school.
Our specialist early years teaching staff will observe your child's innate abilities and guide them on their first forays into an exciting new world of discovery.
We utilise a recognised numeracy and literacy programme, embedding valuable consistency that stretches from preschool into Junior School and above. We have also enjoyed great success in employing synthetic phonics techniques to advance reading levels well above the minimum standards required by the onset of compulsory education.
And while we use the early years foundation stage as the basis for a balanced Nursery curriculum, we have also designed it flexibly such that we can tailor our teaching and learning to meet the specific needs of our individual children. Building on their strengths and supporting them in areas they find more difficult, ultimately our aim is to help them to achieve success on their own terms.
From the age of two and a half, your child will benefit from sessions in music, and from age 3 drama, cookery and PE are introduced, taught by specialist staff from our Junior School, illuminating their curiosity and instilling new passions. They will also spend valuable outdoor educational and play time in the inspirational setting of our Forest School, where they learn to engage with their environment in new and stimulating ways.
Throughout their Nursery years, our aim is to spark curiosity, enthusiasm, and independent thought in our young children; to build solid foundations on which they can grow and thrive. And when the time comes for them to start school, they are able to make that leap with confidence and success.

Pol Quits After Boast of Spanking Sex With Lobbyist One utility company lobbyist was a 'bad girl,' assemblyman leered over hot mike By Mary Papenfuss, Newser User Posted Sep 10, 2009 2:10 AM CDT 15 comments Comments Calif. Pol Quits After Boast of Spanking Sex With Lobbyist Oops. (toobclick) (Newser) – Some lobbyists will apparently do anything for work. A California assemblyman and family-values crusader has quit after boasting about spanking sex with a utility company lobbyist and "hot" sex with another. He went into graphic detail over a broadcast mike he didn't realize was live, reports the Los Angeles Times. "We made love—a lot!" gushed Yorba Linda Assemblyman Mike Duvall, 54. "She goes, 'I know you like spanking me.' I said, 'Yeah! Because you're such a bad girl!'" The married dad of two, 19 years older than the spanked lobbyist, said he was "deeply saddened" by his "inappropriate comments," which were videotaped and aired on Sacramento KCAL9 TV. A spokeswoman for a consumer watchdog group complained about "the use of sexual favors" as "one more example of the tactics that energy companies and lobbyists have used to win favorable laws from lawmakers."

So there is this parrot and he knows a bunch of swear words and the owner says , "If you don't stop swearing I'm going to sick you in the freezer." So the parrot starts swearing and the guy puts him in the freezer. The parrot continues cussing up a storm but after a few minutes the parrot suddenly stops. The guy says "Will you stop swearing now?" and the parrot says "I'll stop, but first I want to know what the chicken did."
An old sea captain with a wooden leg, a hook for a hand and a black patch over one eye is telling a kid how he got his injuries: "It was a big sea battle, lad. A cannonball flew across the deck and took off me leg. Later a doctor friend fixed me up with this wooden one." "How did you lose your hand?" asks the kid. "The same battle, lad. The pirates, they boarded me ship and their captain, he whacked off me hand with his cutlass. Later, the doctor friend gave me this hook." The kid says. "I guess you lost your eye in the same battle." "No". says the captain. "I was looking up one day, and a seagull crapped right in me eye." "Gee" says the kid "You mean the seagull crap blinded you?." "No" the captain replies,"First day with me new hook."

Business Portraits Frequently Asked Questions
What is a business portrait?
A business portrait is usually a head and shoulders portrait, done in the studio against a solid or lightly-textured neutral background. We use professional lighting designed to flatter your face and create an image that will reproduce well in print or on the web. A broad package of usage rights is included in every business portrait package.
What can I expect at my portrait session?
Your session will be scheduled for 30 minutes, but we find that most people are finished in less time. I'll spend a little time getting to know you and learn the personal image you want to convey through your portrait. You'll have time to adjust your hair, makeup, and clothing. I'll make final lighting adjustments. Then we'll shoot a variety of poses and facial expressions, typically about 30 exposures in all.
Most people choose one outfit ahead of time, but you're welcome to bring a couple of jackets or an extra necktie if you're not sure which one will look best. Please read our Clothing Suggestions guidelines for help in selecting your clothing.
How do I schedule my portrait?
Call Turner Photographics at 360-671-6851 at least two days before your preferred portrait date. More advance notice is better, but we've been known to get people in the same day in an emergency at no extra charge.
You can also schedule your session online now.
How fast can I get my portraits?
We strive to provide your private web previews within a day after your session. We'll notify you by e-mail with a link when your previews are on-line. Allow another day after you select your favorite pose for us to prepare your digital files. You can pick up your finished portrait package at our office or we can mail it to you.
What do I get with the standard business portrait package?
Choose one pose from your portrait session. We'll do our basic retouching and then prepare your reproduction-ready digital files. You get your portrait in both color and black & white sized 8" x 10" at 300 DPI (dots per inch) in TIFF and JPEG formats. Your printer can tell you which file format is most appropriate for your job. The package also includes large and small web-sized JPEGs to post on your website, on LinkedIn, or Facebook.
What does the business portrait package cost?
The standard business portrait package is $149.00 plus tax.
Can I get more than one pose, or prints?
Yes, for a modest additional fee when you request them as part of your original order. File preparation for each additional pose is $30.00, which includes all the same sizes and formats as the pose included in your package. Prints are $20.00 for an 8×10 or two 5x7s of the same pose.
Copyright and usage:
All photography is copyright by Mark Turner, photographer. You are purchasing a license to reproduce your portraits in press kits, newsletters, brochures, business cards, websites, and local advertising for an unlimited time period.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept your Whatcom County business or personal check, VISA, MasterCard, and Discover cards. Payment is due at the time of photography.
Studio Location
The Turner Photographics studio is conveniently located at 4682 Wynn Road, just 3/4 mile from the Slater Road I-5 exit between Bellingham and Ferndale. From the freeway, head west on Slater to the first stoplight at Rural Avenue. Turn south on Rural. When Rural makes a hard right continue straight onto Wynn Road. We're just a short distance up Wynn on the left. Look for two stucco buildings; the studio and our parking area are on the left.
Can you come to our office and photograph the whole staff?
Yes, we can bring our studio lights and background to your office and photograph your staff if you have at least 10 people to be photographed in one day. This saves time for your people and can be cost-effective if you have many individuals who need photographs at the same time because they don't have to travel to our studio. You need to provide a room with a 10' ceiling and at least 10' x 15' floor space. We include an office master CD or DVD with everyone's portraits at no additional charge.
Do you retouch my portrait?
Our business portrait package includes basic retouching to minimize blemishes and correct many eyeglass reflections. We take a subtle approach to retouching so it isn't obvious that anything has been done.
What should I wear?
Please see our Business Portrait Clothing Suggestions page.

What follows is the down-and-dirty explanation for the metrics on the Site Analytics Dashboard. This is the dashboard you see if you use Prizma to recommend video content on your own websites, including your own and third-party videos. Looking for Syndication Analytics documentation? Find it here.
Total widget impressions
- An impression is recorded each time the FEM Inc. widget has rendered on your pages in the timeframe selected.
- This metric does not mean that the thumbnails have necessarily been seen. See viewability.
Viewable impression
- A viewable impression is recorded each time the Prizma widget has rendered and had at least 50% of its vertical height visible within the viewport of the user's browser. (This percentage includes the header text section of the widget.)
- This count is not incremented if the widget renders (that's an impression), but is never at least 50% visible to the user.
- Viewability is the percentage of impressions that were viewable by the user, as defined in "Viewable impression."
- A click is counted any time a user clicks on a video thumbnail in the Prizma widget or in the Prizma end slate recommendations (which display after a video has played).
- Note: this differs from a view, which is when the integrated video player actually records its
Click rate
- The number of thumbnail clicks divided by the the number of viewable impressions for the given timeframe, expressed as a percentage.
- A view is recorded whenever a video player loads and sends its play event back to the Prizma widget.
View counts may be slightly lower than click counts, due to a number of factors:
- A user may click a thumbnail but then navigate away from the page before the video player has had a chance to load.
- The video may play but the player does not provide a usable play event. (This sometimes happen when a third-party player updates to a new version and either (a) itentionally changes the way that the play event works or (b) unintentionally introduces a change, e.g. a bug.)
View rate
- The number of video views divided by the number of viewable impressions for the given timeframe, expressed as a percentage.
Top videos by views
- The given timeframe's top-performing videos (up to 10), by total views. The total number of views is displayed for each of those ten videos, using the definition of "view" from this glossary.
Views by device
- The number of views recorded on mobile, tablet, and desktop devices for the given timeframe.
Top regions by views
- The number of views for (up to) the five countries with the greatest number of views, in the given timeframe.
Views by content creator
- The number of video views for content you have submitted on your site, and the number of views for third-party content.

It would be great if the music at the battle win/loss screen only played through once.
If I want to look at the battle stats, I have to exit the screen and go back to the battle summary for it to stop.
If it played through once, you get the effect without having it drone.

Songs That Make You Cry
Following Robert Barry's Quietus Essay exploring why music makes people cry, I have written a short piece about Judee Sill's 'The Kiss' for a Quietus feature called Tracks Of Our Tears: 50 Songs That Make Quietus Writers & Artists Cry. It features superb writing from some of my favourite Quietus scribes including Joe Clay, Phil Harrison, Luke Turner, Rory Gibb, Valerie Siebert, Wyndham Wallace and Ned Raggett, and tops it off with words from artists such as living legends Matt Berry and Aidan Moffat. It's a beautifully affecting and personal collection.

Autism is a developmental condition which affects the ability of the individual in two main areas:
- social communication and interaction, and
- restricted, repetitive patterns of behaviour, interests or activities.
It affects the way that individuals are able to interact with other people, and they may find the world a confusing place.
Find out more about the autism spectrum
Assessment & Diagnosis
Receiving a diagnosis of autism can be a stressful time for families – but sometimes it can come as a relief. In young children, a diagnosis leads to assistance which can dramatically improve their developmental outcomes.
For adults, a diagnosis can help to explain why they feel "different" and allow them to access support and assistance to improve their quality of life.
Read more about assessment and diagnosis
Pre-School Years
During the pre-school years, there is much that can be done to provide "early intervention" assistance to enable the child to reach their potential.
Find out more about funded programs, family support, therapies, support groups and more
Starting School – the Primary School Years
Starting school is an exciting, if a little scary time, for all children. For a child on the autism spectrum and their parents, it is very important to prepare for the change and find the best schooling option, and get set up for success.

Leaving School – What's Next?
This major transitional time for individuals on the autism spectrum opens up questions of where to live and what to do next. It can be a worrying time for the individual as well as for their close family members, but it can also be a time to develop interests and new friends.

Adults on the Autism Spectrum
Autism is a lifelong condition and adults will continue to have ups and downs, as they go through different stages of their lives.
Where to live and who to live with is a big question for many. Is independent living an option?
For parents of adults, worries about who will look after their son or daughter after they have passed away are of grave concern.

Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) processes – such as budgeting, planning, financial consolidation, reporting, and analysis – are extending across the enterprise…and into The Cloud.
According to a Host Analytics survey, cloud-based EPMs are becoming popular with the finance crowd, but users are most concerned about performance and security.
- Today's finance professionals are optimistic about their companies' performance and view themselves as strategic partners to the business with responsibilities that go beyond traditional finance and accounting roles.
- From a technology perspective, many finance professionals cite a lack of systems and tools and 48 percent cited difficulty in accessing the necessary data or reports. The non-technology related factors cited by respondents were: lack of time, the organization does not value input from finance, and high staff turnover.
- Technology continues to play a bigger role in the finance department with the continued, widespread use of spreadsheets and the rise of Big Data – plus the adoption of cloud-based platforms.
- Cloud-based EPM interest and adoption continues to grow as 41 percent of respondents currently have a cloud-based EPM solution, 29 percent are evaluating them, 23 percent plan to move to the cloud in the next few years, five percent are planning to move to the cloud in the next two to three years, and only two percent reportedly have no intentions to move to the cloud.
- The two biggest concerns in moving to a cloud-based EPM are performance and security. However, businesses are getting used to the idea with more and more enterprises citing they are more comfortable today with it than they were two to three years ago.
- Finance professionals are absolutely aware of the organizational and technology barriers to success.
Download the case study: Finance Close and Reporting Optimization
These findings, along with other insights into the finance function, come from a survey of over 250 senior level professionals in finance and accounting commissioned by Host Analytics and conducted by Radius Global Market Research. The study set out to better understand the role that finance departments play in today's organizations and uncovered perceptions and trends about the role of finance and technology in businesses today.
What do these findings tell us?
Enterprises want to optimize financial performance and operational excellence – and they are looking more and more to cloud-based EPM solutions as part of their efficiency strategy to better management of planning, reporting and analytical applications. The push for tighter enterprise performance analysis of internal and external financial reporting is increasing. Organizations want better predictive analysis, strategy management, risk analysis, collaborative revenue forecasting, financial consolidation and visual and prescriptive analysis. The push for better long-range strategic financial planning, including capital planning, budgeting and scenario planning is accelerating.
EPM innovation is responding with web-based user experiences, social collaboration strategies and management reporting solutions designed for faster calculations, predictive analysis based on advanced algorithms and machine learning – as well as cloud-enablement for mobile efficiency.
The EPM market is evolving and expanding to deliver a truly dynamic enterprise performance deliverable for today's finance professionals, with advancements in software delivering more mature solutions for planning and budgeting, consolidations and financial reporting.

Dear Kristina,
Now that Kirk and I are somewhat settled in to our new place, I had to let you know how much I appreciate all you did to help our move come off without a hitch. I am glad that you were willing and able to work with us even though we had already identified a buyer for our home. I didn't realize how many things the seller still had to deal with. Obviously there is a lot more to the process than just finding a potential buyer and you took care of all those things while keeping me informed throughout the whole process!
You did a great job with the sale of our home, but you REALLY set yourself apart from the crowd with the sale of our condo. I'm sure you remember that soon after we listed the condo with you, the credit crunch brought sales of condos to a near standstill in Baton Rouge. I really wanted to move the property and was ready to take drastic measures to do so. You suggested some less draconian alternatives and advised me to be patient. We ultimately were able to sell it without losing any money. That wouldn't have happened without your sage advice!
I learned a valuable lesson from these experiences…a great realtor is worth her weight in gold!!
Thank you!
As first-time home-buyers, we couldn't have found a better realtor than Kristina Cusick to lead us through the process. Buying a home presents many unexpected obstacles, but Kristina helped my husband and I overcome all of them and get the house that we wanted. She also fought hard for us, and didn't let anyone take advantage of the fact that we were inexperienced. Not only is Kristina a wonderful realtor, she is a sweet, fun person and made the whole process so much more enjoyable for us. We feel like we've not only gained a house, but we've gained a good friend! We're grateful to have met her, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
I would like to express both my satisfaction and pleasure dealing with Kristina Cusick at CJ Brown.
As a first-time buyer I was unfamiliar with much of the home-buying process. Kristina guided me through every step and answered all of my questions, no matter how small. She explained everything thoroughly and represented me with energy and warmth. I look forward to working with her again in the future and would not hesitate to recommend her.
If you are looking for someone who is honest, forthright and focused and able to exceed/meet with your expectations, then Kristina is your agent. Her foresight and meticulousness is highly commendable, she always thinks a few steps ahead and works very efficiently. Very organized, great attention to the minutest of details and thorough – you can rest if Kristina is working with you. She will fight on your behalf and work with you each step of the way. She is persistent in getting you what you want and she is unpretentious! While she takes initiative to guide and inform you, she will never step on your toes or impose upon you, and that to me was very important.
You will enjoy her company and she will try and make the whole process fun and fulfilling. She made my entire home buying process enjoyable, smooth and effortless. I am enjoying my new home very much!!
I look forward to working with her again in the future and would not hesitate to recommend her.
Brandon J. Smith

Are These The Biggest Pancakes In Utica?
I had a wonderful Easter Sunday with my family. Funny thing, out of the 2 kids I have, I thought I'd have a problem with the 2 year old in church, not my teenager. Towards the end of the mass Mark got faint and passed out. He said it was because he hadn't eaten anything yet so we went out for Easter breakfast.
I could not finish my breakfast because of the size of the pancakes. They were bigger than the plate. Tina our waitress told us that the pancakes at Sharyn's Place are always that size. She said that a couple of 65 year old gentlemen come in every weekend and eat 5 of them...wow. I couldn't get through one. Honestly, this is not a paid advertisement. I was just so amazed by the size of the pancakes that I just had to pass along to you that, If you're looking for a BIG breakfast, I suggest Sharyn's Place on River Road in Marcy.
Just look for this sign out front and enjoy.
I hope you had a Happy Easter with your family. I did.

If, like me, you were a square-eyed British TV addict child in the 90s then you might remember this show. BBC Drama in the 90s was pretty ambitious, and while it didn't have the budget that it does now, I still think BUGS has aged pretty well.
My Dad used to describe it as a show about computers, written by someone who had never seen a computer, and it does have that early 90s innocence in the way it treats computer technology. The upside is that the plots were often genuinely original and it's still nice to see a Sci-Fi / Action series set in Britain. To this day, I can't think of many other shows that are explicitly about bugs, digital terrorism and solving crimes using computers. I still find myself humming the theme tune every now and then. I remember tuning out in later years as they changed the actor playing Ed, and messed about with the basic formula, but back in the day this was one of my favourites.

Since the beginning of radio and TV, broadcast journalists have been or will at some time in their career be faced with covering a story that has the potential and capability to affect them personally.
World War II was the first war covered by radio. CBS Radio News correspondent Edward R. Murrow and his team faced terrible conditions in London and witnessed horrific death and destruction inflicted by both Allied forces and the Germans. Radio is a medium of the mind and the reports coming back on the air were written with such detail to create pictures in people's minds about what was going on. Walter Cronkite, who was a UP reporter then covering the war, also saw the horrible effects of war. These correspondents also have difficult living conditions as well and separated for months at a time from their loved ones.
Vietnam was the first war covered by TV. Even though the footage shown was delayed being shown several days after being shot as it was being flown back to the US for developing, it brought home the horrors of war in living color to American society in their living room for the first time in history.
While war coverage is certainly not easy to watch, Americans have had their share of tragic news on their own soil over the years: the Charles Manson murders in California, the assassination of President Kennedy, the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City, and 9-11, to name a few. But the hardest ones to cover seem to be those involving children or random acts of violence, such as the school shootings at Columbine CO, the late night theatre shootings Aurora CO, and now the elementary school shootings in Newtown CT.
I am proud of how CBS News covered this story both as it was happening and also on the CBS Evening News With Scott Pelley. In the New York area, our local stations there, WCBS-TV, WCBS-AM NewsRadio 880, and 1010 WINS were also covering this story in the most professional manner possible while being sensitive to the very nature of what happened and utmost respect to those families affected. It's hard enough to deal with these types of stories anytime, but particularly hard during the holiday season. And having worked in TV since 1978, I can assure you that those individuals who are charged with the task of covering stories like this do feel the effects personally. If you saw Walter Cronkite in 1963 delivering the news about the death of President Kennedy, you knew he was grieving with us inside but as a professional journalist, he got us through it.
From our family to your family, Happy Holidays to you all and may 2013 be a very happy new year for you. See you next time.

Low G-Sensitivity
Wenzel Associates designs and manufactures crystal oscillators, fixed frequency systems, integrated microwave assemblies and synthesizers to X-band. Precision crystal oscillators, which are at the heart of many high level electronic systems, are often the most susceptible component in the system to acceleration, vibration, shock and acoustic environments. These dynamic conditions are common in airborne, ground and shipboard applications and significant degradation of the entire system can occur as a result. For these systems, it is imperative for designers to select a crystal oscillator that has been designed to minimize the effects of the crystal's acceleration sensitivity. Dynamic phase noise performance of an oscillator can be improved with careful selection of a low-g crystal and depends on the application specifications. Careful attention to the mechanical design and potential resonances are required to convert a standard commercial oscillator to one with low-g performance. Testing under various conditions is provided using one of several Ling shaker tables on site and test data is provided for most low-g oscillators. Please contact our technical staff for assistance in selecting the best Wenzel product for your specific application.

In 2015, the ELLA Program graduated 11 Latina leaders. Throughout the program ELLAs learned a lot from our wonderful speakers such as Darcie Green (Civic Engagement), Guadalupe Rodriguez (Crisis Pregnancy Centers and Reproductive Justice), and Ruth Silver Taube (Wage Theft and Worker's Rights). Google, Mayor Sam Liccardo's Office, Kaiser Permanente, Planned Parenthood, PIQUE and the Katharine and George Alexander Community Center were few of the organizations that hosted our training sessions. (Thank you to our speakers, hosts, and supporters.) ELLAs also had the opportunity to explore advocacy by advocating for bills related to healthcare and education in Sacramento. They were also introduced to video production which can be used as an advocacy tool. Through the production of their video they became exposed to some of the issues that affect Latino/as such as Wage Theft, Latino/s in Media, Violence Against Women on College Campuses, and Crisis Pregnancy Centers. Relatives of the graduates, LCSV boardmembers, LCSV members, and community members attended the graduation ceremony in August. At graduation, LCSV premiered the winning video which was on sexual assault on college campus by Katiuska Pimentel Vargas, Bianca Garcia, and Laura Moya. Watch the winning video here!
ELLA Testimonials
"The Ella program helped me unravel the leaderships skills I had within myself. I was exposed to challenging issues and was granted the opportunity to take real actions to change them. As I continue my journey into my own community work, I continue to use the tactics and tools ELLA has bestowed on me to do my absolute best in any community work I'm involved in." – Alejandra Reyes, Class of 2015
"Being part of the ELLA Program has taught me diverse skills in communication and public speaking through various networking events, public speaking at San Jose City Hall, and especially during interviews for the Video Project. Since the beginning, the Latina Coalition of Silicon Valley provided me with sisters and valuable mentors who not only supported me during the program, but always tried to help me reach my short-term and long-term professional dreams. Through networking and becoming invested in the work of various ELLA Board Members and alumns, I was fortunate enough to get hired as a News Intern at Telemundo 48. It is my dream to carry on the legacy and mission of the ELLA Program in my current position, by always striving to give back to the Hispanic community that has inspired me to work hard and achieve my goals." – Fabiola Fernandez, Class of 2015
"The ELLA program helped me enhanced my leadership skills and develop a network with other inspiring Latina leaders. The mentorship provided through the program inspired me to continue advancing my career and educational goals. The professional development workshops provided me with the tools to continue my future goal to attend law school. I been able to develop beautiful friendships and get to meet resilient, powerful, and inspiring Latina leaders. Thank you LCSV for the opportunity to be part of this amazing program!"– Katiuska Pimental Vargas, Class of 2015
"Participating in the Ella program was both enlightening and educational. One of the many skills I was able to improve during the program was my networking skills. I made lifelong connections with other inspirational Latina Leaders that have served as mentors. I currently work for HIP Housing as a Home Sharing Coordinator working to improving housing and the lives of people in our community. With housing coast in the Bay Area constantly rising Home Sharing is one of the very few affordable housing options for many." – Laura Moya, Class of 2015
"The ELLA Program was such a rewarding experience to have gone through! Prior to joining I was lost in the "real world" trying to navigate spaces as a young Latina professional. Being a part of the ELLA Program and getting introduced to the LCSV network felt like such a breath of fresh air! I was warmly welcomed into not just a network but a sisterhood of ladies that were excited to provide me and my fellow ELLA sisters with the tools and the support system needed to grow as leaders and as Latinas. I now feel more confident in the work I do because I know I'm not alone and I have a whole team of Latinas behind me!" – Maryela Perez, Class of 2015
"Through the ELLA program, I have established new friendships, connections and life learned lessons. Not only did I learn about the Latinos issues, politics, self-awareness but I was able to showcase my passion through the media project and civic engagement. Being part of the program has definitely impacted my interests in my career and involvement with my community. I highly recommend the ELLA program to every Latina out there because you will learn to empower yourself as Latina and create the change you want to see in the world. #PoderLatino" – Ruby Chavez, Class of 2015

Several miles of sandy beach stretch out from the base of Neahkahnie mountain, south past the quaint towns of Manzanita, Nehalem and Wheeler with access to beach, bay and river recreational areas. In Manzanita, Laneda Avenue is lined with shops and restaurants befitting a beach town with class. A mile and a half south at Nehalem, along the banks of the Nehalem River, huge hanging flower baskets at shops along the main street burst with brilliant blooms in spring and summer. Nearby is Nehalem Bay State Park, featuring ocean beaches, bayfront beaches, camping, hiking and bike trails. Wheeler is three miles down Highway 101 on the southern shore of Nehalem Bay. Cast a line or drop a crab net into the water from the public dock. Nehalem Bay and the Nehalem River offer fishing and crabbing, with boats and crab pots available for rent along the shore.
This 900-acre coastal park offers campground and day use areas on a four-mile long sand spit with ocean on one side and the Nehalem Bay on the other. The park also features a forested 1.8 mile long bike path. more info
2,484 acres of park offer stunning roadside viewpoints from the edge of Neahkahnie Mountain and several miles of hiking trails. A short trail leads to Short Sand Beach and hiking trails extend to the end of Cape Falcon and climb Neahkahnie Mountain. The park also includes a 13-mile stretch of the Oregon Coast Trail. more info

Assisting in Sierra Leone's efforts to achieve Goal-1 of the Millennium Development Goals which is to Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger by 2015, we allocate 0.1% of our revenue annually for Agricultural Development in Tankoro Chiefdom. The funds are held in a trust fund controlled by the Ministry of Mineral Resources, the Tankoro Chiefdom Authorities and Koidu Limited for use in community agricultural projects.
In addition to this initiative, we are also introducing a vegetable production scheme for the resettled community as an alternative means of livelihood restoration. Two of our employees who were sent for training at the University of Bloemfontein in South Africa will manage this project. The objective is to provide the community with the technical and managerial skills, as well as the resources needed to produce quality vegetables for sale at the Freetown vegetable market. We have provided the initial capital and will also help with the marketing and transportation of the produce.

Claymore – The infamous Scottish Claymore, or "Great Sword," is our largest sword, to date! At an astounding 55 inches long is is almost five feet tall! The massive razor sharp blade, alone, is almost four feet long! Yet for all of its size this is an amazingly agile blade, capable of unheard of cutting power at close to long ranges. The tempered 5160/D2 hand forged blade was an awesome feat of dedication for our swordmith to produce and what a phenomenal result!
You will love the molded leather covered, ribbed handle and enormous guard and beautifully treated pommel, …and the scabbard, alone, is a work of art. With this blade you'll feel that you have a museum piece, for sure. Since the famous sword of legend, Excalibur, was thought to be a Claymore, King Arthur, himself would surely approve of our TFW Claymore.

New in Comala Workflows, a Workflow for Compliance Environments
Posted June 21, 2018 in Comala Workflows
CATEGORIESCanvas Jira Canvas OnDemand Case Studies Comala Agile Ranking Comala Canvas Comala Metadata Comala Publishing Comala Workflows Comalatech Comalatech Events
The workflows exchange for Comala Workflows now includes a brand-new workflow template, the "Quality Management System" workflow. Developed in conjunction with Rina Nir of Atlassian Silver Partner RadBee, the workflow uses special features to meet the needs of users within compliance environments.
The workflow is ideal for teams that need to demonstrate compliance with guidelines, rules, or standards. This could include ISO standards, FDA regulations, or even internal corporate standards. The workflow features multiple states of review, including an obsoleting process. One unique feature of the workflow is that it restricts page editing once it moves past the draft state, an important consideration in compliance scenarios. Finally, the ultimate approval to Publish the page can only be given by users in the Confluence group "controlled_document_approvers", which is typically the QA team. Here's a visual diagram of the workflow:
RadBee specializes in helping businesses utilize Confluence within compliance environments. For the past five years Rina has been assisting life sciences customers' implementation of Atlassian tools in QA/RA and operations systems.

Meet the Pekin Veterinary Clinic Staff
Dr. Joel Jess
I am a 1986 graduate of Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine. I acquired my love of animals growing up on a cow-calf farm in western Iowa. I knew I wanted to be a veterinarian since I was ten or eleven years old. I guess I was lucky to know what I wanted to do with my life at an early age. Combining my love for animals and medicine has allowed me to live a fulfilling, wonderful life.
Although I enjoy all aspects of veterinary medicine, my areas of special interest include gastroenterology, soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, and canine rehabilitation. I became certified in canine rehabilitation through the University of Tennessee in 2005. Practicing medicine gives me a great deal of pleasure when I can help not only our four legged friends but the owners as well. I strive to offer an array of options according to the owners' desires. Flexibility is the key when consulting clients, and I try to provide the most current options and treatments available. I continue to update my professional skills to meet those demands. My passion is to help patients and their moms and dads with the most compassionate and complete care I can provide.
My pets include an independent tabby cat named Tuesday and a very soft-hearted, smart English Shepard named Lance. When not practicing medicine I enjoy spending time with my family, playing "over the hill" baseball, fishing, working at our Virginia, IL, land, and umpiring girls' senior and junior high softball. I've been practicing veterinary medicine for 30 years and love doing so more now than when I started.
Dr. Allisun Bennett
I am originally a Missourian and received both my undergraduate in Animal Science and DVM from the University of Missouri in Columbia. I practiced both large and small animal medicine in Wyoming, IL. It was a great time of growth and learning and even though it can be incredibly hard work, I do miss pulling baby calves!
During the fall of 2016, I married my husband Paul, became a step-mom to a wonderful little girl named Anna, and started working at Pekin Veterinary Clinic. Our family is rounded out by a very social feline named Kirby, and we expect a new (human) addition this fall!
As a Veterinarian, I like to emphasize preventative veterinary care through good dental practices, proper nutrition, and appropriate vaccination.
One of the many reasons I love working at Pekin Veterinary Clinic includes the ability to work with skilled, compassionate, and well-trained staff and doctors. We're all a team and I couldn't function a day here without them!
Dr. Brittany Propst
I was actually born in Decatur, Illinois, but grew up my whole life in Oklahoma, where I was raised a Sooner fan attending every home football game! It was not until this awesome job, where I get the opportunity to care for your kiddos, that I moved back to my roots- boyfriend and fur babies in tow. I always knew I wanted to be a veterinarian. I only ever waivered twice: once when I tore my ACL and I thought PT would be fun, and once when "Legally Blonde" came out and going to Harvard sounded easy.
After several years of caring for stuffed animals, I fulfilled a life-long dream of being a true Sooner and went to the University of Oklahoma. After four years, however, I had to go up state to "the other school". It was at Oklahoma State University that I received my doctorate in Veterinary Medicine.
Now I am happy to say that I live here in Pekin. My boyfriend and I have a 7-year-old lab/shepherd mix named Abby and a 15-year-old Schipperke named Chauncey. In my spare time, I love being with family, catching up on movies and Disney, and just being outside. I am a kid at heart, and if you get me started on Disney or Harry Potter I could talk to you all day! I look forward to getting to know you and your fur kids and helping you all in the best way I can! See you soon!
Dr. Brittany Hasselberg
Hello, I am Dr. Britt Hasselberg. I grew up surrounded by animals, mainly Shih Tzus, in Peoria, Illinois but now have 6 lizards and 2 cats named Taco and Mr. Nipper. I worked as a small animal, exotic, and zoo veterinarian for 6 years before working as a relief veterinarian. I am very passionate about my work; I am devoted to working with exotic animals and particularly enjoy canine and feline soft tissue surgery and dentistry. I have compassion for all animals, great and small….Come see me!
Office Administrators
Tammy Jess
Hospital Administrator
I am one of the farmer's daughters of this team. Growing up on a dairy farm in western Iowa I was surrounded by animals and could often be found tagging around under the feet of the veterinarian. How funny that I ended up married to one!
A 1982 graduate of Iowa State University, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design. I enjoyed my design career for several years until Dr. Jess and I purchased the Pekin Veterinary Clinic in 1990. At that time, I began my second enjoyable career in veterinary management. Many classes and seminars later I have grown into this career as the clinic has grown. I now work as the Hospital Administrator managing our team of professionals, overseeing hiring and training, keeping tabs on the financials, assisting in the purchase of equipment and keeping our team up with the latest in continuing education and training.
Dr. Jess and I have three amazing children that have grown up to be wonderful adults. We are enjoying watching them make their way in the world. To fill the quiet in the house we brought home Lance. Lance is a high energy English Shepard who always has a big smile on his face. He is a total "momma's boy" and loves to go anywhere I go, including my office. His favorite past time is running and I with I had something for him to herd as he would totally love that. His brother Finn is owned by our daughter and her husband and is Lance's best friend. They are all boy when together and play, rough house, and tease one another constantly.
Our veterinary practice has been one of the biggest joys and challenges for me personally over the years. I have enjoyed the opportunity to get to know many of our wonderful clients and their pets. I have also enjoyed the challenge of designing and overseeing the building of Aboard the Ark in 1998, and the designing and renovation of the veterinary hospital in 2007. These projects provide me with the necessary "right brain" creative thinking I need to survive, combining my interior design expertise with my knowledge of veterinary medicine. The result is our beautiful facility designed to make us more efficient and able to practice better medicine for you and your pets.
I am enjoy serving you and my team at Pekin Veterinary Clinic. My office is not near the front of the building, so I am a bit more isolated than I used to be, but don't let that stop you from asking for me and saying "hello" when you are here. I will be ahappy to give you a "behind the scenes" tour or just catch up a bit with one another.
Diane Chamberlin
Human Resources Specialist
I have been involved in the veterinary industry my entire life. I started working at Aboard the Ark when I was 14 and continued working regularly until I went to college. Even then, I came back home and worked at the Ark over the summer and during holiday breaks. I stepped away from PVC for a few years while pursuing my graduate degree and working as a therapist; however, I just couldn't stay away. I am now working as a receptionist and exam room assistant, and I truly enjoy what I do!
My husband Tommy and I have three furry children. Martin, our oldest kitty, is a sweet cuddle bug. Pepper is our youngest kitty. She is a spunky, tiny tabby who loves to play. Our newest family member is Finn, an English Shepherd who is very smart and loves attention. They keep us busy when we're not working, but we wouldn't have it any other way.
Shelly Laux
Practice Manager
I've lived in Pekin all my life. I have two great kids of my own, and married Michael in 2009, and now we have five great kids combined. As for my animal family, we have four dogs, Toby, my wonderful lab, my collection of poodles, Jackson, Tucker and Buckley, and then there is Giles, who doesn't know he is a cat. He can sit, shake paws and even roll over. I enjoy crocheting and taking care of flowers in my yard, but I spend most of my spare time taking care of my animals. There is always someone wanting to go for a walk if not all of them.
I have been with Dr. Jess and Tammy here at Pekin Veterinary Clinic since 1996. I have had many duties through the years: technician, inventory, ordering, scheduling and managing. From our great staff to our wonderful clients and our adorable patients I am very lucky to have a career that I can truly say I enjoy coming to work every day.
Amanda Fogal
Lead Technician/ CVT
I am a certified veterinary technician. I graduated from Parkland College in May 2010 with an Associate's in Veterinary Technology. I started working at Pekin Veterinary Clinic in August 2012. I chose to become a veterinary technician because growing up I have always had a love for helping and working with animals. I love seeing how helping someone's pet can not only change the pet's life but also the owner's. My pets include two American Quarter Horses named Scotty and Cash, a pony named Dorothy, and a cat named Vinny.
In May 2014 I married my husband and we have one son. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, barrel racing, canoeing, and many other outdoor activities.
Jennifer Dill
I am a Certified Veterinary Technician. I graduated from Parkland College in 2007 with an Associate's degree in Veterinary Technology. Some of my veterinary interests include anesthesia, radiography and phlebotomy. I chose to become a technician because I have always had animals and felt compelled to help them.
I got married in August of 2010 to my high school sweetheart and we have a son named Brayden who keeps us on our toes. Our house is overrun by our three dogs, Rex, Rosco and Reese and our cats Dusty and Maverick. We also have our three horses, Copper, Derby and Faith as well as two goats. In my free time I am a volunteer firefighter/EMT and enjoy spending time with my family, horseback riding, and anything else outdoors.
Tracy Wehmeier
I am a Certified Veterinary Technician and a 2007 Parkland graduate. I have been working in small animal medicine since 1999. My love and compassion for animals only intensified after getting my very own dog named Lucy at the age of 13. Some of my special interests within the field are anesthesia, surgery, and imaging. I find the advancements in Veterinary Medicine truly amazing and dedicate myself to educating and implementing changes that will help aid in the aging process of your loved one.
Some things I enjoy doing with my free time include traveling, watching my nephews Jayden and Wesley and my neice Maddie grow, as well as pet sitting for loved ones.
Two causes that are very dear to my heart include Lyme Disease Awareness and Lung Cancer Research; including an annual Pool Tournament held locally in January.
My family includes a spunky couch potato named Ruby Red who is 8 years of age and an energetic diva named Olive Bean who is 2 years old.
Kelly Pennell
Veterinary Assistant/Exam Room Assistant
I've been in the veterinary field since 1982. I enjoy making a difference in my patients' lives, and helping an ill animal become a healthy pet again. Watching pet owners (especially their kids) take their special pet back home is all the thanks I ever need.
You name it, I have had it as a pet: horses, dogs, cats, chinchillas, guinea pigs, and fish. My favorite 'pets' are my two sons, Ben and Sam, and my first grandkids, Trent and Olivia. I am active in my church, Richwoods Christian Church—Parkway Campus. I'm also a brown belt in karate and trained as a Military Police Specialist. Hoo-raa! Go, Army! If you cause trouble at my clinic, you'll run into me sooner or later...
My most current hobbies are Egyptology, archeology, backyard birding, and anything on Syfy or History Channel. Yes, I am a geek and a nerd.
Hannah Finnegan
Veterinary Assistant/Exam Room Assistant
I started working as a kennel assistant with Aboard the Ark in April 2016. Working as a kennel assistant has been a great experience and it has been a lot of fun to get to know everyone's pets. In April 2018 I began working with Pekin Veterinary Clinic as an exam room assitant which has given me the opportunity to meet so many loving and dedicated owners and see the bond they have with their pets. I am grateful to have a job working with animals and to be able to work with such great people everyday.
My boyfriend and I currently have 3 kittens- Leo, Bandit and Aura who keep life interesting! In my spare time I enoy spending time with family and friends, hiking, going to antique stores, and just being outside.
Larissa Lopez
Veterinary Assistant/Exam Room Assistant
I started working for Pekin Veterinary Clinic in March of 2015. I have grown up in the Pekin area all my life. I graduated from Pekin High School in 2006. I now live in Manito.
In my free time, I like to play games with friends and family, go to concerts, & make people laugh. I am a very outdoorsy person. I love going on hikes, discing, or just being outside in general. I grew up playing all kinds of sports, my favorites being basketball and softball. In fact, I attended Georgetown Middle School where I was the only girl on the guy's basketball team. I have always been a competitive person. My one true passion is shooting pool. I have been to Vegas on multiple occasions, most recently taking 3rd place. I became an Illinois State Champion in March of 2016. I became an Iowa State Champion in October of 2016. I am always looking to improve my game.
At home I have two dogs & three cats. Penny Lane is my 7 year old Pitbull. Olive is my 3 year old Greyhound mix. My cats are Jerry, 13 years old, Jack, 10 years old, and Jimmy, who is 9 years old.
I love my coworkers, our clients, and our patients. There is not a better feeling than seeing the love people have for their 4 legged furry babies.
Val Zuercher
Veterinary Assistant
I started work as kennel attendant in 1972 here at Pekin Veterinary Clinic. Throughout the years I have worked at different local area vet clinics and landed back at PVC to work again as veterinary assistant.
My hobbies include bicycling and walking in Pekin's parks. I enjoy fishing and the outdoors.
My personal pets right now are a 14-year-old budgie named Pete and his younger brother, 5-year-old Jimmy. I also dogsit for my sister Candice from time to time. She owns an older, tiny pug named Juanita. I do enjoy her company. I have always enjoyed veterinary medicine and love being back to work at PVC, where it all began for me.
Stacia Heine
Lead Receptionist
I've been with Pekin Veterinary Clinic since 2013, and still love working with all the clients and their furry kids every day. Ever since I was young, I've been fascinated with all types of animals. I'm so glad I can continue this passion and spend my working days doing what I love. At home, my husband and I have a Rat Terrier mix named Boyd, and an orange tabby cat named Max. With a husband and new home to care for, much of our free time is spent on home improvements and weekend trips to spend time with family, friends, and the occasional concert. I'm so glad and grateful for the opportunity that has been given to me here at Pekin Veterinary Clinic. Seeing team members and customers that love and care about their animals as much as I do is a wonderful feeling that I look forward to every day!
Sarajane Hawkins
I grew up in Delavan, Illinois, along with my husband John, and we currently reside in Green Valley with our daughter Annabelle in our 1920s farmhouse that we are restoring in our free time. We spent the past 9 years in Lafayette, Louisiana, for my husband's work in the oilfield. Our favorite past time there was Mardi Gras and all the Cajun festivals. They threw a party for everything in Lafayette, and I'm so glad we got to experience the Cajun culture.
Our family is well-rounded. I have two grown step-sons J.D. and Jake; 5 dogs: Bandit, Mayzee, Penelope, Chloe, and Poppy; a chinchilla named Tallulah Rose; a stray kitty that adopted us named Kitty; and two guinea pigs that I am currently trying to convince my daughter to name Negan and Rick.
In my free time, I enjoy being at home with my family, watching movies, and playing video games! We will try ANY game once, especially a good zombie-based video game. I love horror movies and books. They complete me. If I'm out of the house, you can find me in the antique stores and used furniture stores finding treasures to restore. I also enjoy playing volleyball with my daughter who has inherited my insatiable love for the game as well. I am so thankful I found my way to Pekin Veterinary Clinic and look forward to growing as a receptionist and beyond for many years to come.
Kylie Fryman
I started working at PVC in July of 2018. I grew up in Pekin and graduated from PCHS in 2014. I currently attend ICC where I am working on my associates in general studies while I decide what I want to be when I grow up. At home I have 3 young children. If that doesn't make life crazy enough, I also have a Golden Retriever named Gunner and a Golden Retriever mix named Vera. In my free time I enjoy going to the movies and traveling. I love learning new and exciting things everyday while working at PVC. Also, seeing the cute and fuzzy animals always puts a smile on my face.
Melody Bradley
I grew up in Chattanooga Tennessee and lived there my whole life up until September 2018. I have always loved animals since childhood and wanted to grow up and work at a animal hospital one day. In 2014, I started working as a receptionist at an animal hospital and also owned a pet sitting business on the side. I made friendships with many clients and their fur babys over the years that I'll always cherish. I decided to move to Pekin, Illinois, after many years of friendship and a long distance relationship with my boyfriend so we could be together, but the only thing missing was the right job. I started at Pekin Veterinary Clinic immediately upon moving to Illinois, and I couldn't be happier.
We have a cozy little home that we share with my three fur babies. Levi, my 6 year old boston terrier/chihuahua mix, is a big mama's boy and would spend all day watching me sleep if he could. Prince, my 6 year old chihuahua, is my "nap and lap" dog and enjoys being cuddled up in a cozy blanket with me and binge watching my favorite show NCIS. Then there is my 4 month old cat named Jethro who is a character of his own. He enjoys making a mess while I'm cleaning up the one he made just before that. He also loves when I take him for walks at the park and when I put him on the dog lead in the back yard and let him practice his tree climbing skills. I love and enjoy each and every one of my animals very much and look forward to meeting yours and assisting you with any of your fur babies' needs.
They got my dog in right away when I called. Everyone is courteous and seem to genuinely love animals. Took good care of my dog and kept me informed.
Doctors and staff are always kind and extremely efficient. Our pet loves going there which says a lot for their care.
Very professional, wonderful treatment!! I would recommend this facility to anyone who loves their pets
Everytime I come here for any treatment they ALWAYS treat us like family. They show a deep concern for the pet and the owner. I tell everybody I know to bring their pets here!!! Thanks!!
"Best place I've ever been to! Everyone was extremely nice and helpful, I couldn't have asked for better!"
"I'm always very happy with my interactions with the staff and doctors at Pekin Veterinay Clinic. I feel as though my concerns are addressed, and that the staff really cares about me and about my furbabies."
"You can tell the Vet loves the animals. She got on the floor and played with the puppy and put her at ease. I thought that was very sweet!!"
"Great service. My dog was in need of care due to her condition and I was able to take her over right away and they worker her in. This is the kind of care and reaction I need for my dogs, and I received it."
"I have referred them to all my friends and family. They are great. There willing to work with you and are also fantastic with my dogs."
"Wonderful as always! The people are always so nice and friendly. I feel our pet gets quality health care here."
"You're all the kind of people that make the world a better place for critters of all kinds."

I believe every woman wants to have a romantic and memorable marriage proposal. Well, I am not an exception too. Often, I will fantasize how my future husband would propose to me someday. How and where he had planned for the marriage proposal to take place? What will he says to get me to marry him? Will there flowers? Will he be getting a ring? Will it be an eventful moment?
So, as mentioned in my previous post, he finally proposed to me during our getaway trip to Bintan. Actually, before he proposed, I already knew that we would be getting married right after I have completed my university education. In fact, we had been discussing about our marriage plans since we were only a year into our relationship.
What makes me so sure? Well, I do not know the answer too. Perhaps, it was because I just could not wait to marry and spend a lifetime with him. Even so, I still eagerly look forward to the day when he will officially propose to me.
Over next one year, I hinted him multiples of times about the marriage proposal which I have always dream of. But most of the time, he will just try to brush me off with a cheeky smile. Often, this led to wonder whether he really have the intention to marry me or not. If yes, why was he not proposing?
Just when I have convinced myself that it is absolutely fine to marry without a marriage proposal, he proposed. It came as a big surprise for me, although I am the one who had took the time and effort to plan and create that prefect opportunity for him.
So, we arrived at Mayang Sari Beach Resort in Bintan on the 29th March 2013. It was a scorching hot afternoon and all we wanted was to quickly check into to our air-conditioned room.
"Would you marry me dear? You are my very first and I promise that you will be the last in my life. I promise that I will protect, care and try my very best to make you feel happy and wanted every second in your life.
I am really sorry that I have not prepared any flowers or ring for such an important occasion. But I promise I will get you these as soon as we got back home. I felt even more sorry that I did not know how to plan a special event to make such a lifetime moment memorable for you..."
He paused for a while, unsure of what to say next. Silently, I looked at him while my tears uncontrollably fell down my cheeks. Seeing my tears, he seemed to get more nervous and worried. While still on both his knees, anxiously, he started to apologize again.
"Are you feeling sad that I have made such a terrible marriage proposal? I am really sorry for making you feeling disappointed. But I promise that I will not let you down or stop loving you every single day. I will take good care of you..."
I interrupted him and asked him to get up on his knees. Of course, without any hesitation I said, "Yes, I do!" Or did I just nodded my head to show him that I accepted his marriage proposal? I could not really remember.
He stood up and embraced me tightly into his arms. Then we exchanged passionate kisses while tears continue to roll down my cheeks. My mind was blank. I could not speak as I was just too overwhelmed with happiness.
Although I had a feeling that he would propose on our trip to Bintan, I could not be sure. There were no signs that indicate that he was going to propose on that day. Thus, I dropped the idea and convinced myself that I might be thinking too much.
However. the reason for my tears was never because of the bad marriage proposal which I had received from him. I cried because he has finally officially asked me to be his wife. Even though he proposed without flowers or a ring, I was still deeply touched by his true heart, sincerity and love for me. I could feel his anxiety when he saw me cry and that he started to blame himself for not doing better.
This was when I realized that having a incredibly dramatic proposal was actually not the most important thing to me. What matters the most is his love for me. I was deeply convinced that he is the only guy who I wanted to spend my life with. Furthermore, I knew that he is never really a romantic guy in the first place. Thus, I guess all I expected was just a simple proposal from him.
To be frank, I only came to realize much later on that he had actually got down on BOTH his knees when he was proposing to me! How could I not have noticed that at that time! It seemed as if he was begging me to marry him. So, how can I reject a guy who begged me to be his wife?
Be sure to follow me on Facebook or Twitter for any latest updates on my blog. So stay tuned!

Ankle / Feet
Our practice provides physiotherapy care for ankle and foot pain sufferers to the local areas of Sandhurst, Yateley and Fleet
Your foot and ankle is made up of an astonishing 28 bones, 38 muscles, 25 joint complexes and 214 ligaments. It is therefore not surprising that foot and ankle problems are common affecting 75% of people at some stage in their lives.
Common foot and ankle problems
- Sprained Ankle: This is the most common injury. When a sprained ankle occurs you will feel a sense of 'going over' on your ankle forcing the foot inwards. This stretches over the outer ankle ligaments. Symptoms include ankle pain, ankle weakness, ankle swelling and ankle instability.
- Plantar Fasciitis: This is another common problem that causes heel pain and also pain in the sole of the foot.
- Achilles Tendinopathy: Another problem is an overuse injury to the Achilles tendon. Due to repeated stress this can lead to the deterioration of the tendon.
How we can help you…
If you have sustained an injury to the foot and ankle, or you would like some injury prevention advice call us on 01276 37670 or email email@example.com
