Angelique Houtkamp - Exhibition/
I mentioned Angelique in a previous post and I was luckily enough to be able to attend an art exhibition of hers today. It goes on for a few more days - so here are the details if you can make it - details
I fell under the spell of being surrounded by art I loved....and bought a print. There goes my saving for Vegas plan. I went for Snake Charmer....
I also bought the book....once you've spent £95 on a print, you hardly notice the cost of a book on top!
Sadly......I excitedly opened my print at home, and there seems to be a mark on it.....so gutted. I know that she uses stained backgrounds etc, but this just doesn't look like it should be there.
It is in the middle of the white border in this pic. There are no other marks on the white border. I'm so sad.....will email the gallery.
Added: The gallery were more than happy to exchange the print, so I was able to get it framed and fall in love with all over again.

While millions of door-busters seek out the best Black Friday deals at Walmart, Target and Best Buy, many more complain about the Thanksgiving tradition.
A few common criticisms about Black Friday are that it symbolizes excessive consumerism in America and makes people act like idiots.
"Black Friday: because only in America people trample each other for sales exactly one day after being thankful for what they already have," read a tweet that's since been shared more than 20,000 times.
The website hateblackfriday.com posts explanations for why people hate the tradition. We chose some of the best excerpts:
One hater claims that shoppers don't even save on the day:
"The irony of this ridiculous soirée, besides the utter lack of self control; is the unnecessary marathon which ensues each and every year. It is a myth that Black Friday is the only way shoppers save money during the holidays. In fact, holiday sales generally continue up until Christmas."
And now, Black Friday even cuts into Thanksgiving:
"Today we have the evening and midnight madness taking place on Thanksgiving. This day which was once reserved for family and giving thanks has now given way to an extension of capitalistic mayhem. Instead of family we have foraging. Instead of feasting we have frenzy."
There's the matter of America's international reputation:
"Can you even imagine what people in other countries must think of our ridiculousness? People that don't have enough food to keep their kids' bellies from aching, watching an overweight house wife shove her fat behind to the front of the line to grab six discount deep fryers? It honestly makes me nauseous."
Black Friday can bring out the worst in people:
"Remember a couple of years ago when the Wal-Mart clerk got trampled to death by a mob trying to break the doors down? Another time a guy got held up in the parking lot and shot because he refused to hand over the crap he had bought. I guess he thought that it was worth more than his life. I hate black Friday."

Judging the Royals
How a base-stealing threat like Terrance Gore can help a hitter
Going into the seventh inning of Saturday night's game against the White Sox, the Royals were down 4-3. Then Christian Colon singled and Terrance Gore came out to pinch run; the White Sox pitcher was Chris Beck.
If three straight pickoff attempts are any indication, Gore's presence on first base seemed to distract Beck.
And when Beck finally threw a pitch to home plate, it was a pitchout. Some base runners will take off right after a pitchout because they don't believe the pitcher will pitch out twice in a row. That being the case Beck threw another pitchout; Gore wasn't going and the hitter — Jarrod Dyson — was up 2-0. Then Beck tried another pickoff.
So Beck had made six throws; four to first base and two pitchouts. Not one of those throws had anything to do with the man at the plate; Beck's focus was on Gore.
Beck threw another ball to Dyson and finally, with the count 3-0, Gore stole second base. (Some pitchers slow down their delivery on 3-0 pitches to make sure they throw a strike.) With Gore on second, Beck eventually walked Dyson and now he had the tying and go-ahead runs on base and both of them were a threat to steal.
Beck tried to avoid giving Whit Merrifield a hittable fastball, so he gave him hittable changeups instead.
With both runners going, Beck left what appeared to be 1-1 changeup in the zone and Merrifield doubled to the left-center gap. The Royals took the lead and went on to win the game 6-5.
In 2014, with 153 steals, the Royals hit .263, slugged .376 and had an OPS of .690. In 2015 opposing pitchers lowered their delivery times and Royals' stolen base total dropped to 104, but the Royals hit .269, slugged .412 and had an OPS of .734.
So as their stolen base totals dropped, the Royals hit better; everything a pitcher did to stop a Kansas City base runner helped a Kansas City hitter. That aggressive base-running philosophy paid off in 2014 and 2015 and paid off one more time Saturday night.
If you don't steal bases, you won't get runners thrown out, but you also won't get pickoffs, pitchouts and poorly thrown pitches from distracted pitchers.
A base-stealing threat can help a hitter.
What's that weird thing James Shields and Wade Davis does?
Both guys came out of Tampa Bay so that's probably got something to do with it; but as they come set both pitchers turn toward first base and take a good, long look at the runner. Davis says he's got a pretty good idea of where every infield grass cut out is — they're not uniform — so he's using that to measure the runner's lead. As he comes set Davis is checking the runner and deciding whether he needs to attempt a pickoff.
But here's the mental challenge for a pitcher: if he decides to attempt a pickoff, 100 percent of his mind needs to be focused on first base, if he decides to throw a pitch, 100 percent of his mind needs to be focused on home plate.
If a pitcher throws a pitch while part of his mind is still thinking about the runner, it probably won't be a very good pitch.
Just ask Chris Beck.
Set roles versus mix-and-match
A coach on another team once told me middle relievers were the biggest whiners in baseball. (Sorry, middle relievers, you know I love you, but I needed to repeat that to explain what I'm about to say next.)
So back to middle relievers and their whining.
Without a set role a middle reliever can always find something to complain about: he wasn't given enough time to warm up, he was given too much time to warm up, he was left in the game too long, he was pulled too early, etc. and so on.
But if a reliever has a set role — you've got the seventh, be ready — it shuts him up and makes everyone's life a little easier. He knows when to warm up and that he'll face whichever hitters come to the plate in the seventh inning.
Start playing mix-and-match and things get a little more complicated.
In recent years Ned Yost has had the luxury of set roles. When you have a healthy Kelvin Herrera, Wade Davis and Greg Holland I'm pretty sure you could pull a semi-inebriated fan out of Rivals and he could manage the Royals from the seventh inning on.
But when you don't have three lockdown relievers you have to get a little more creative. The lockdown reliever can face anybody; the reliever who doesn't have that kind of stuff needs to avoid the guys who hit him well.
(OK, so far this is a long walk to a small pond, but I promise you we're getting somewhere near the point I want to make.)
Saturday night Ned Yost had Kelvin Herrera pitch the seventh inning and gave Joakim Soria the eighth. Both pitchers went 1-2-3 and this morning Ned is being praised for flexibility and avoiding Soria pitching to the heart of the order; Melky Cabrera, Jose Abreu and Justin Morneau.
Instead, Soria faced Todd Frazier, Avisail Garcia and Omar Narvaez in the eighth.
Matchup numbers for relievers are ridiculously small and I'm not in Chicago so I can't ask, but: Todd Frazier is 2 for 2 off Herrera and one of those two was a game-winning home run. The numbers weren't a whole lot better for the Frazier-Soria matchup (3 for 6 with a home run), but the numbers were a little better.
So the point may have been to avoid having Herrera pitch to Frazier as much as avoiding having Soria pitch to the heart of the order.
If I get the chance I'll ask about this when the team comes home. (And if any middle reliever objects to being called a whiner I'll write their side of the story.)
Joakim Soria, correlation and causation
Soria pitched well Saturday night and pitched well on two days' rest. The current theory being floated around is that Soria should not pitch on back-to-back days and more rest gives him the best chance of having a good outing.
The problem with focusing solely on Soria's amount of rest is that it ignores every other factor that has an effect. For instance: who did Soria pitch to, what was the score, did he have an up-down and did he throw the right pitch at the right time?
On July 17, Soria gave up a home run and took the loss against the Detroit Tigers. He did it on one day's rest, but throwing a down-and-in fastball to Jarrod Saltalamacchia batting from the left side probably didn't help — wrong pitch to the wrong guy.
Soria's amount of rest ought to be taken into account, but it's not the only thing that matters. And that applies to what I wrote about base stealers and hitters as well; it's a factor, but not the only factor.
Man, this game gets complicated.

West Ham defeats Manchester City on the road, sends hosts to first EPL loss of campaign
MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester City's perfect start to the Premier League season ended Saturday with a 2-1 home loss to West Ham, which extended its stunning run of away results.
West Ham needed only six minutes to take the lead, with Victor Moses firing in from long range as City conceded its first league goal of the campaign. It doubled the lead in the 31st when striker Diafra Sakho turned the ball in after a goalmouth scramble from a corner.
Kevin De Bruyne pulled a goal back for City on the stroke of halftime from 20 yards, his first for the club since signing from Wolfsburg, after a neat pass from Sergio Aguero. But the hosts were unable to break down West Ham's stubborn defense again.
City playmaker David Silva didn't play after feeling stiffness in his calf during the warm-up, meaning Jesus Navas moved into the starting lineup but produced an underwhelming display.
City manager Manuel Pellegrini refused to use the Silva injury as a reason for his side's second loss in as many games, after it was beaten 2-1 by Juventus in the Champions League on Tuesday.
"No excuses about that, we have other players," Pellegrini said. "I think we played too fast in the second half, too rushed. You must be more calm but when you are two goals down, it is difficult. We had a lot of chances to score."
West Ham has now beaten Arsenal, Liverpool and City in its three away games and manager Slaven Bilic said Saturday's win was the toughest of the lot.
"This was a different game to the one at the Emirates and the one at Anfield. This one was much, much harder," Bilic said. "In the second half, City pressed us and were the better team. We deserved it for the way we played in the first half and our fight in the second. You have got no chance if you are not sprinting in the last minute of the game."
West Ham captain Mark Noble did not expect his team to record three away victories to start the season.
"We knew we would come here and not have much of the ball," Noble said. "I think if you see today and in the last three away games, the way the boys work for each other and the quality we have got now, it is exciting times for West Ham."
City still tops the standings on 15 points, with West Ham now three points back in second.

A recent poll has underlined the importance men in the North East place on getting enough meat in their diet, with many saying they felt irritable - or even angry - when deprived of it.
A study, conducted by pub chain Sizzling Pubs, has revealed that over half of men in the North East (57 per cent) claim symptoms including lack of energy, sadness, mood swings and even anger, when they are deprived of meat.
A third of local men also admit they would rather go shoe shopping with their other half than miss out on meat.
Working with dietitian Dr Carrie Ruxton, the national pub chain conducted the research into men's eating habits to identify why meat makes men tick.
The survey revealed that men in the North East are particularly affected as almost a third of local men (30 per cent) felt unsatisfied after not eating meat, 18 per cent lacked energy and eight per cent said they felt irritable. Three per cent even said they had feelings of anger when going without meat.
Over half of men polled in the North East (54 per cent) felt that they weren't sitting down to a proper meal unless it contained meat.
A third of those polled naming steak as their all-time favourite meat. Sirloin is the most-preferred cut, with 31 per cent of the vote.
Dr Ruxton said: "Current national trends show that fewer than three per cent of men report opting for a meat-free diet, and this dietary preference can be traced right back through human evolution.
"Men have eaten meat from caveman times when game provided up to two thirds of daily calories as part of an omnivorous (mixed) diet. However, no-one ever painted a carrot on a cave wall so meat has always had a special role in most men's diets.
"Men are probably attracted to meat because it's high in protein which, in the past, would have helped them build muscle for regular hunting duties. Nowadays, men are more likely to hunt for beer or the latest technology but the built-in desire for protein is hard to shake off.
"Meat is rich in B vitamins for energy, zinc for sperm production and, in the case of red meat, iron for mental function and blood oxygen transport. This makes meat, particularly lean meat such as steak, a nourishing food for men."
The survey also revealed the lengths to which men in the North East would go to avoid going meat-free. A quarter of those surveyed would prefer be on washing up duty for a year and one in seven would opt to read War and Peace than go without meat, while a further 11 per cent of men would rather watch their sports team lose.
The government recommends that adults eat no more than 500g of cooked red or processed meat weekly which equates to eating red meat 3-4 times a week. There are no restrictions on white meat.

What Is Hammertoe
When the toe of a foot gets bent on the middle of the digit, there arises a condition that is commonly referred to as Hammer toe This condition targets the second, third and fifth toe of the foot most often. However, it should clearly not be confused with another condition known as " mallet toe ", which is just a condition on the upper joint of a digit. Claw toe is another similar condition, with dorsiflexion of the proximal phalanx on the lesser metatarsophalangeal joint , combined with flexion of both the proximal and distal interphalangeal joints. Claw toe can affect the second, third, fourth, or fifth toes. Bone procedure is associated with the bone. There are two common procedures which include joint fusion and arthroplasty of joint. The severity of the deformity is a decisive factor for determining suitable bone associated surgery for the condition. The time of procedure depends on the type of surgery as well as the number of corrections required. Usually anesthesia does not allow pain during procedure after procedure the pain can be managed with pain killer medicines. The most common cause of hammer toe is wearing short, narrow shoes that are too tight. The toe is forced into a bent position. Muscles and tendons in the toe tighten and become shorter. Unfortunately, surgery often does not improve the appearance of toes. Rather, surgery is used to loosen the tendons and muscles pulling the toes into a painful shape. This improves the ability to walk without pain and to wear shoes comfortably. Wearing shoes that do not cramp the toes in a bent position is the best way to treat these toe conditions, and therefore prevent surgery. Mallet Toe is a deformity at the end of the toe. As the end joint constricts, the end of the toe looks somewhat like a mallet. At the end of the day, avoid stressing your toes too much and most importantly, take care that you do not bump the concerned toe while going about your activities. Keep a close watch on any discomfort or unusual pain in case of any complications. Recovery will also depend on the age, sex and the overall health of that person. I sign off here! Take care! Claw Toe forms in the base joint that joins the toe to the rest of the foot. When this joint constricts, the toe takes on a claw-like appearance. Prevention of digital deformity is much the same as preventative methods for development of bunions (hallux abducto valgus), which we discussed over the last two weeks. The etiology of the deformity must be identified early and corrected so that the foot never needs to compensate for that abnormality. Certainly wearing comfortable and supportive shoes, contrary to shoving toes into "pointy-toed" stilettos will decrease your chances of developing hammertoes, but it is a deformity that is much less predictable for occurrence than some other more debilitating and noticeable deformities of the foot. is typically caused by wearing shoes that do not fit properly. They are usually too tight and squeeze the toes together. Typically shoes that are too restrictive in the toe box or shoes that have high heels cause unnatural bending of the toes leading to the hammer shaped appearance. If the pain does not go away and limits your ability to walk comfortably or perform typical range of motion movements you should see a podiatrist. It is also recommended you see a doctor if one or more toes has developed a hammer-like shape. Cushioning or supportive items such as straps, non-medicated felt pads, moleskin, splints, toe shields or caps protect and reposition your toe and relieve pain. Talk to your doctor, podiatrist or chiropractor about corrective footwear, orthotics or other foot devices. These can provide support and alignment (check to see if you wear out the soles of your shoes on one side) You should also avoid super-snug stockings, nylons and socks. Without anesthesia, I removed the offending portion of his nailand had him soak his foot twice a day. No antibiotics were givenand a week later the redness and infection were gone. What causes a mallet toe? The American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) offers information on this site as an educational service. The content of FootCareMD, including text, images and graphics, is for informational purposes only. The content is not intended to substitute for professional medical advice, diagnoses or treatments. If you need medical advice, use the "Find an Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Surgeon" tool at the top of this page or contact your primary doctor. In this procedure, the flexor tendon, or then tendon on the bottom of the toe is contracted (tight) and is thus causing the end of the toe to bend downward. Any person with this injury will tell you they were surprised by how much they use their toe during the day. Every step places pressure across the big toe It is difficult to avoid walking during the day, which creates daily stress into the injured ligaments. This daily strain is a complicating factor for the slow resolution of the injury and progression of recovery. If your hammertoe has a lot of rigidity, your podiatrist will set the tendons straight through the incision, and also take out parts of bones. Then the bones will have to be fixed up for the time being, allowing the affected toe to be corrected.

Commerce minister reaches out to MPs on retail FDI
Commerce minister reaches out to MPs on retail FDI
New Delhi: In the face of stiff opposition in Parliament to foreign direct investment (FDI) in retail, commerce and industry minister Anand Sharma on Monday sought to reach out to members of parliament (MP) and state chief ministers (CM) and appealed to them to rise above "petty" partisanship on the issue.
"I felt it is my duty to dispel some apprehensions expressed by certain political parties," he said in his letter to members of both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
The parties should rise above "petty" partisanship and strengthen Indian political systems, he said, adding that wide consultations were held before the decision was taken.
The government has come under attack on allowing 51% FDI in the multi-brand retail sector dominated by small-size kirana stores to attract global giants like Walmart to open stores in India.
Both the opposition and UPA allies Trinamool Congress and DMK have demanded a roll-back of the decision, which was taken by the Union Cabinet on 24 November.
Sharma said, "In formulating this policy, we were conscious of the livelihood concerns of millions of small retailers."
Studies on the global experience with foreign investment in multi-brand retail revealed that even in developing countries such as China, Brazil, Argentina, Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand, local retailers have found innovative ways to co-exist with organized retail chains.
Sharma said the government was also mindful of ensuring food security for the poorest of the poor, retaining the first right to procurement of food grains. The first right would rest with the government public distribution system, he said.
On concerns over the predatory pricing that may be resorted to by multi-national retailers, he said the competition commission would ensure that such practices are scrutinized.
"I have specially discussed the matter with the chairman of the competition commission to bring in a regulator to ensure necessary checks and balances," he said.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, with music by Clubfoot Orchestra
Location: The Steve Allen Theatre, 4773 Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles
Link out: Click here
Description: The Clubfoot Orchestra provides scores for the silent films SHERLOCK JR and THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI. The former is a comedy starring Buster Keaton; the later is perhaps the great-granddaddy of the horror genre, a 1919 German Expressionist movie about a sideshow mesmerist who sends his somnambulist (the great Conrad Veidt) out to kidnap a beautiful woman.
From the website:
The show opens with the animated short "Felix the Cat Woos Whoopee" (1929, Otto Mesmer. 6 min.)
6:30 pm: Sherlock Jr (dir. Buster Keaton, 1924. 45 min. ) Incredible stunts, Outrageous gags! Experimental Filmmaking! Primitive American Surrealism!
8:00pm: The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (dir. Robert Weine, 1919. 55 min.) The first Expressionist film and is often considered one of the most influential movies of all time. Dreamlike plot and nightmarish sets.
"Club Foot Orchestra has pioneered the modern use of live music with silent film. This nine-piece ensemble flawlessly performed a score carefully matched to every piece of on-screen action in what amounts to an hour-long suite of epic proportions" - Chicago Tribune
"At times it was hard to know what to watch - the screen with its huge vision, or the orchestra with its feverish view of the technology of music. There were big musical moments, and the versatility of the players was such that sometimes that took precedence over everything." -Philadelphia Inquirer

A Mentoring Program is a proven method for employee development and retention, succession planning, knowledge transfer and promoting diversity & inclusion in the organization.
While the benefits of Mentoring are innumerable but how to go about creating a successful Mentoring Program in the workplace?
Through deep research backed by experts, NxtSpark has designed the DELTA Process for not only starting but creating a sustainable Mentoring Program. DELTA stands for Define, Evangelize, Launch, Track and Analyze is based on deep insights into the science of mentoring in organizations.
Define: Define the objectives and the success factors of the Mentoring Program that you are rolling out in your organization. This is very crucial for tracking of outcomes against the initially laid-down objectives. These objectives may become the super-ordinate goals /overarching criteria for the employees getting mentored. They may use these to decide on their own professional goals.
Evangelize: A Mentoring Program's success is directly dependent on the participation from Mentees and Mentors. It then becomes very important for it to be marketed well inside the organization in terms of its benefits. Program co-ordinators understand this very well and the right evangelism of the program can make the right noise at all levels of the organization.

District, Pike, & Rockland Townships, Berks County, Pennsylvania
The forested land in District, Pike and Rockland Townships, what we refer to as Oley Hills, is one of the largest undisturbed forested areas in Berks County (27,144 acres). It serves as home to five pristine watersheds that have received state-wide recognition as 'Exceptional Value', the highest water quality designation awarded in Pennsylvania. The protection of these five watersheds represents 38% of exceptional value watersheds in the entire Schuylkill River Watershed. We attribute this pristine water quality to the fact that this land is undeveloped, and it is a goal to maintain this status by permanently protecting the land with conservation easements.
A partnership between Berks Nature, the Pine Creek Valley Watershed Association, the Pike Oley District Preservation Coalition, the Highlands Coalition, Highlands Conservation Act, William Penn Foundation, and the PA Department of Conservation & Natural Resources, aims to permanently protect over 2200 acres in this particular area. This will not only provide future generations with the benefit of this undisturbed natural area, but will also ensure pristine conditions for these unique, high quality streams.

Author and Phantasm Archives head, Dustin McNeill is gearing up to unleash a comprehensive and in-depth examination and exploration of Don Coscarelli's beloved, strange beast of a horror series, PHANTASM.
Having birthed an iconic villain in The Tall Man, as well as a rich, far-out mythology, the PHANTASM series is rightly cherished and ripe for both analysis and chronicling. PHANTASM EXHUMED then, is described as "a massive retrospective on the making of the PHANTASM series just in time for the 35th anniversary of the original film." Author McNeill writes, "The book takes a day-by-day look at each film's production with unprecedented access and detail. Basically, the secrets of the sphere are about to be revealed and as the tagline suggests… 'all it took was a little digging.'"
Set for release in March 2014, PHANTASM EXHUMED entails:
• An Introduction by Angus Scrimm
• More than 200 rare photos, many never before seen
• Written from more than sixty interviews with cast, crew, effects creators, producers and studio execs
• Unpublished excerpts from Angus Scrimm's 1977 set journals
• Coverage of the unproduced PHANTASMs (Roger Avary's Phantasm 1999, the Phantasm remake, various P5's)
• A chapter on Don Coscarelli's first two films, Jim the World's Greatest and Kenny & Company
• Detailed information on deleted scenes and script changes for all four films

Can you predict your future child's height while you're still pregnant? There are a number of ways to figure it out once your child is born, which often involve measuring your child's height, weight and age. Let's ignore these methods, like "double the height at age two" (which is less reliable for girls than boys), since you are still pregnant – instead, statistics may have the answer.
Simple Statistics To Predict Baby's Future Height
The simplest statistics-based process to predict your fetus's adult height is the Khamis-Roche Method. It does ask for the child's current height and age, but you can calculate based on a reduced number of factors, so let's skip to what you know during pregnancy: the height of each parent.
Some web sites offer online calculators for this. However, the Khamis-Roche Method is based on data from American Caucasians so the authors do not vouch for its accuracy for other racial groups or those in other countries.
The "midparent stature" is the average of the father's and mother's height. To get this number, add Mom's height to Dad's height, and divide the number by 2. Based on small samples of a few hundred students in first-year Anthropology classes, Prof. Hawks determined the statistically best equations in centimetres:

Support This Expert's Articles, This Category of Articles, or the Site in General Here.
Just put your preference in the "I Would Like to Support" Box after you Click to Donate Below:
- A boy baby's adult height will be about 72% of the midpoint height, plus 51 centimetres, or about 20 inches.
- A girl baby's adult height will be about 60% of the midpoint height plus 61 centimetres, or about 24 inches. (The calculation for girls is less accurate than the calculation for boys.)
So, if the mom is 5 feet tall, and the dad is 6 feet tall, the mid-point is Mom's 5 feet plus Dad's 6 feet divided by 2.
5+6=11 feet
11 / 2 = 5.5 feet
The prospective boy baby of this union would be 72% of 5 1/2 feet (3.96 feet) plus 20 inches (1.66 feet) or approximately 5 feet and 7 inches tall.
The prospective girl baby of this union would be approximately 60% of 5 1/2 feet (3.3 feet) plus 24 inches (2 feet) or approximately 5 feet and 3 inches tall.
Hawks also estimates that only about 72% of the child's height is due to inherited genetic tendencies, and the rest is due to environmental issues. For example, poor nutrition may stunt the child's growth.
Making Baby Predictions
It's easy to find a baby gender predictor, do the math to figure out what eye color your baby may have, or even find a web site to predict the adult height of your infant, but in reality – you're just going to have to wait and see. Have fun with all these predictors, but Decoded Pregnancy is not taking wagers!

Stupid question given that you may not even know what they prefer on their menu. All the same, let's look at it again given that what you provide is part of their lifestyle menu;
Think of that restaurant you last visited and would comfortably give them "lousy service award of the year". As is the case in that restaurant, take any one of your favorite customers and walk in their shoes for a moment;
- How easy is it to buy from your business?
- What experiences does that customer go through as he/she buys from you?
- Does he/she feel like they are having some teeth pulled out?
- How do you deliver that order?
- Do you deliver on every promise you make?
- Every time? On time? Within budget?
- Do you care to find out what your customer's needs are now and how they are likely to change in the near future?
- Are you are meeting those needs and any others that you can easily meet now? Are you planning how to meet the future needs?
- Would you still claim you are not starving your customer?
What if you served the right orders, in the right way, to the right customers on time?
Your customers love you and reward you by buying more of your products and services. They are telling their family, friends, colleagues about your irresistible service and influencing them to your favour.
You are certainly getting less returns which positively impact your costs and credibility.
Your company and brand positioning shifts to your favour as you are now famed as the most predictable and reliable supplier. This is now reflecting on your market share as you win more customers to your side of the ring.
You now plan to replicate this model on new customers and markets.......
Are you ready to serve?
Take action now. Before you find yourself in a situation of one of my clients who was asked a most revealing question by one customer( Lets call her Jane).
This client supplies cakes and customers visits the shop to place their orders. Jane used to buy cakes every family birthday, anniversary and other special occasions. That year passed without placing any orders.
The following year, they met and my client asked how comes Jane had not been celebrating birthdays as usual. Jane's response was, "Why should I be the one to remind you that you have customers? I am taking my money elsewhere."
How many other customers felt "not supported' in the buying process and hit back by taking their money to the competition. Who was left starving?
As Jane rightly said, the customer holds the money and they can starve you – literally.

On Eve of Release, Adolfo Carrion Rested and Ready
By HANNAN ADELY and JORDAN MOSS
Dressed in an olive-drab prison uniform, complaining about the bad prison food, Councilman Adolfo Carrion, Jr. is noticeably thinner. The modern federal prison in Brooklyn, on the edge of the East River, is sterile and solemn, but Carrion is in high spirits. It's just nine days until he leaves prison, and he is revving to go.
A candidate for Bronx borough president, Carrion is anxious to rejoin the campaign trail and make up for lost time. "Once we're out of here, we're going to hit the ground running," he said.
The councilman is one of the "Vieques Four," the group of New York City politicians sentenced to unusually harsh prison sentences for civil disobedience after protesting U.S. military exercises on Vieques Island, Puerto Rico.
When Carrion leaves jail on the morning of June 29, he and two of his fellow inmates -Bronx Democratic Party chief Roberto Ramirez and Fordham Bedford assemblyman Jose Rivera -will parade through Bronx streets in a caravan of vehicles to thank their supporters. The Rev. Al Sharpton, who was sentenced to 90 days, will remain in jail until Aug. 15.
The procession is sure to generate plenty of attention for the politicians, who have been in the media spotlight since their sentencing. Mostly, they are portrayed as martyrs to the cause, with Latinos holding rallies in their behalf, wearing shirts that read, "Free the Vieques Four."
Carrion says that although the Vieques issue is not directly related to Bronx residents, "the issues are very close in the sense that you have children who are deprived of a good life. They sit in schools where fighter jets are flying over while they're sitting at their desks and they shudder from the sounds of bombs -the environmental degradation there is incredible. They suffer from asthma. The kids in the Bronx suffer from asthma."
Carrion says his involvement in the Vieques issue "is really about a life's work. The reason I'm a public servant is because I think we can make things better."
While in jail, Carrion spends his days reading -he just finished the novel, Chesapeake and is working on The Life of Ghandi. He also keeps busy working out and writing position papers on the economy, the environment and housing. He also has endless conversations with Ramirez, Rivera and Sharpton. They are the only inhabitants of their 124-unit cell block.
Carrion also spent time reviewing the City Council budget, and briefing Council colleagues on his budget priorities so they could take the message back to City Hall. He said that from behind bars he secured $13 million for capital projects for his district, including the renovation of the Jerome Park branch library and the construction of two youth centers.
He's not too busy worrying about his campaign, though. "I think I have very good chances," he said. "I'm not too worried about the current field."
That field includes State Senator Pedro Espada, who has a strong support base in the south Bronx, where he is executive director of the Soundview Health Center. Carrion, on the other hand, has the official backing of the Bronx Democratic Party.
Espada and Carrion are both Hispanic, which political observers say is a boon to Councilwoman June Eisland, the only white candidate in the Democratic primary.
Asked about Eisland's chances, Carrion responded, "I think what people are looking for in the borough president is someone who can cross over into the communities with comfort, who they can identify with, who makes them feel comfortable because he or she speaks their language and understands their issues. And when I say, 'speaks their language' I don't mean other than English, I mean, speaks to their heart. I think the other two candidates have more difficulty in that area than I do."
Carrion admits all the fuss about the Vieques Four may have given him a boost politically. "Having this kind of experience has certainly put my name out there," he said. But, he added, it has also "shown people that I'm willing to stand up and fight for moral causes even at the expense of my own comfort and career, and I think people need to know that a leader will do that."
All the media attention still hasn't made jail the easiest place to spend 40 days. The politicians do not escape the strictness of federal prison. Each of them must endure a strip search before and after every visit from outsiders. Carrion, a big-shot on his home Bronx turf, is just a prisoner in Brooklyn. He even got a scolding from prison personnel for talking to Norwood News reporters before they could be briefed on the rules by a prison official.
Carrion said little about the conversations he's had with Sharpton during their time together, except to say that the two have gotten to know each other a lot better and that the reverend would make an excellent stand-up comedian. Bronx Borough President Fernando Ferrer had been trying to recruit Sharpton to endorse his candidacy for mayor in order form a black- Latino coalition. So, the close quarters Ferrer's close allies are sharing with Sharpton would seem to present delicious political possibilities. But Carrion's not telling if he got anywhere with the popular minister. "You'll have to ask him yourself," Carrion said.
With little time left in jail, Carrion looks forward to having a good meal, to spending time with his wife and four children, and to focusing like a laser beam on his campaign.
"There are 61 neighborhoods in the Bronx," Carrion said. "I'm visiting every single one of them as soon I get out."

Blog Decor and Dishes!
Oh Maxine, you are a mess!
Well, I spent most of my blogging time doing blog redecor - so I've not any time to linger now. I'm not going to keep the blog decorated like this, but it'll do for now.
I will say that yesterday when I woke up, after sleeping 11.5 hours, I felt much better. The day before I was just dragging and really needed to have been in bed. I'm just really big on keeping my commitments and so we had gone to Mom's. But the sleep helped. My ears finally began to unclog after a Facebook friend told to me to hold my nose and slightly blow/puff in sets of 10. It worked. I had a series of 3 pops throughout about an hour of this off and on. My ears began to release and my nose began running. It's still a little stopped up but nothing like it was before. I was miserable before with pressure in my head. I couldn't stand it hardly any more. I had a lot of hot liquids also. It was really making me feel like I was choking b/c the Eustachian tubes were being pulled on somehow and it was uncomfortable. So much better now.
I did manage to get the ironing done - what was dry anyway - so I'd have pants to wear this week. I picked shirts that didn't have to be ironed to wear this week. I managed to get all the laundry done but the towels and I have one load of those going this morning.
I think we kinda have the week planned out. A couple of outings happening to make the week more interesting.
So much time was spent on the work front last week, and with having to go to work yesterday, I'm really ready for some more down time. But at least I've been able to get some things done despite our busy weekend. Another Walmart order was placed. A Get Well card sent to a coworker. RSVP'd to our Pregnancy Care Center Fundraiser Banquet. Plans made with the Katebug for mid week.
I unpacked and washed a set of dishes that Granny Jan had in her cabinets. I'll have to show a pic a little later. They are a bit scratched but I like them. I took out the Italian men plates and we'll store those. I like those too but I'm just ready for something different. I really wanted to buy some black stoneware dishes (not glossy but kinda like a rock in texture). But I saw these and thought we could use those for a while. So I was impressed that I had the time and the desire to do that switcheroo. I still need to pack the Italian men dishes though in a box or a tub. (The Italian men dishes have an Italian chef on them - cute but we have just had them for a long time and I wanted something more sophisticated instead of whimsical for a while.)
Then George fixed a Thanksgiving meal for dinner. Turkey breast, steamed green beans, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and creamed corn. mmmmmmmmmmm. And I have second's for lunch today.
So I better go and get ready! I guess I'm in with "whimsey" on blog toppers but out with "whimsey" in my every day dishes. lol
Ya'll have a great Monday. Here we go...........
4 comments:
That lunch of yours sounds delicious. How nice to have leftovers to enjoy!ReplyDelete
I love turkey and all the fixings! Love your blog topper too. Maxine is a favorite of mine ! Hope your Monday is a good one!
These dishes from Mom will look lovely can't wait to see them in use. Dinner sounds as if it were good and it's nice that you had some left for lunch. I sure hope that this week will not be quite as busy as the last few have been...ReplyDelete
Take care and plenty rest when you can. Glad to read that your ears are better...
I love new dishes. I mostly use corelle for every day. Or my pretty peacock blue festiva brand. I use to have a black and white kitchen. It was so pretty with the black appliances and white cabinets and the white and black checkerboard floor. My countertops were gray with flecks of silver and purple. I miss it. But those floors were so hard to keep clean. I had to mop every day. I know the white plates will look pretty withe the black placemats. Have a good day.ReplyDelete
The dishes sound like a nice way to switch things up. ENJOY them and the difference they make in your life.ReplyDelete

JOHANNESBURG — A group called the Sun International Action Group is threatening to sue the Sun International resort, hotel and casino chain in South Africa for $500 million, alleging that the staff recorded guests' intimate moments and sold them to porn sites, MoneyWeb reported today.
The group says it represents the victims, some of them celebrities, whose sexual acts were unlawfully commercialized by members of the Sun International staff.
Representatives for the alleged victims say that in 2005 staff members installed recording devices in rooms at the Lost City Hotel, Cascades Hotel, Sun City Hotel, Cabanas and Vacation Club apartments, claiming that 54 videos have been produced and 52 have been sold since then.
"There is a high likelihood that your private and most intimate sexual encounters during that particular time might have been secretly and illegally video recorded and sold to an international porn club," the Sun International Action Group said in their blog.
The class action group is being spearheaded by the action group's chairman Nayan Naidoo and vice chairman Tim Dailyey.
According to the blog, Naidoo uncovered the scandal when he was approached by a business man who attempted to extort him for $100,000 in exchange for footage of him and his wife having sex at the hotel.
The man sent Naidoo a still photograph of the video to authenticate his threat.
"We are absolutely distraught and furious over the infringement of our privacy and find it inconceivable that our most intimate moments can be video recorded by third parties at a well-known five star resort like Sun City or Sun International," he wrote.
The Sun international Action Group concluded its written statement by asking people to boycott all Sun International establishments and to spread the word of its misdoings through social media.
Journalist Steve Hofmeyr, whose name appeared on the blog, questioned the validity of the suit. In a tweet he asked "Was I good? Can you confirm this is a hoax?"
The blog listed professional golfers Robert Allenby, Jim Furyk, Lee Westwood and Justin Rose as victims, claiming that they were recorded when they participated in the the annual Nedbank Golf Tournament.

: Constant Social Media Presence May Jeopardize Teens' Mental Health
Posted September 12, 2015
By Alan Mozes
HealthDay Reporter
FRIDAY, Sept. 11, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- Teens who feel a round-the-clock compulsion to participate on social media sites like Facebook or Twitter may pay a price in lost sleep. They may also face a higher risk for depression and anxiety, new research suggests.
British researchers surveyed nearly 470 teens to explore how 24/7 social media participation might affect their emotional health.
"Adolescence can be a period of increased vulnerability for the onset of depression and anxiety, and poor sleep quality may contribute to this," said study co-author Heather Cleland Woods, a psychology administration teacher at the University of Glasgow in Scotland. "It is important that we understand how social media use relates to these."
The findings are scheduled for presentation Friday in Manchester, England, at a British Psychological Society meeting. However, until the data and conclusions are published in a peer-reviewed medical journal, the research should be considered preliminary.
Approximately 90 percent of teens worldwide use social media, the researchers said in background notes. Facebook alone counts almost 1.5 billion users, and Twitter, more than 300 million. Evidence is increasingly revealing a link between social media use and well-being, particularly in the teen years, Woods and co-author Holly Scott, also from the University of Glasgow, said.
The 467 study participants were questioned about their social media habits, during the day and around bedtime. The teens also underwent mental health testing, and were asked how much pressure they felt to be available to respond to incoming social media communications, and how much anxiety they felt when they couldn't do so -- a state of mind known as "emotional investment."
The result: The more teens engaged with social media and the more they were emotionally invested in site participation, the greater the risk for impaired sleep, poor self-esteem, depression and/or anxiety.
Jumping online at night was linked to a "significantly" higher risk for bad sleep quality, independent of other factors that might interfere with sleep, such as anxiety, depression or low self-esteem, the study found.
"While overall social media use impacts on sleep quality, those who log on at night appear to be particularly affected," Woods said in a British Psychological Society news release. "This may be mostly true of individuals who are highly emotionally invested. This means we have to think about how our kids use social media, in relation to time for switching off."
Scott Campbell, an associate professor of communication studies at the University of Michigan, made the point that teenage engagement with social media "is not all bad."
"There is another side to this story, and that is that kids are getting a lot of social support through social media," said Campbell, who was not involved with the study.
Still, "research has also shown that there is definitely a causal path between social media use and lower well-being in general," he added. "And that's not just for teens. Teens may be more vulnerable to these negative effects, but this is a problem for people of all ages."
However, Campbell said research has shown these negative effects tend to arise in specific circumstances, such as when people use social media passively -- by compulsively browsing or lurking about, for example. "More active use, such as posting or communicating, hasn't been linked to this issue of poorer well-being," he said.
Also, this particular British study didn't prove that unrestrained social media use causes mental ills, it merely shows a link.
The social media dynamic lends itself to the chicken-and-egg question, Campbell said.
"Teens who may be feeling lonely already and are looking for a little boost may then turn to social media, in which case they're bringing their sense of low self-worth with them to the table," he said. "That happens. It can definitely go in both directions. In the end, it's a pretty complicated situation."

electricity rates. Not the least of these barriers was a state fiscal policy that increased taxes on utilities which, in turn, could pass along to consumers any rise in costs.
Above all, advocates of cheaper electricity could not match the political power of private utility corporations. Lehman himself took an advanced position on every question involved in the regulation of utilities, but he could not even line up all members of his own party behind measures requested by the PSC. Furthermore, there was no well-organized pressure group outside the legislature to back up Lehman on this issue. Letters of protest from consumers scarcely compared with the influence exerted by utility monopolies, which maintained full-time lobbyists in Albany. State officials, notably Lehman and members of the PSC and the Power Authority, carried the burden of the fight for improved regulation and public power, and they were outgunned by utility interests in Albany and Washington. Although reformers won a few battles during the decade, the state's privately owned utilities triumphed in the war against effective regulation and public power.

Alternative medicinal practices are on the rise for the treatment of our dogs and cats. Homeopathy is one such alternative. Homeopathy is a healing system that was originally developed over 200 years ago. This healing system stimulates your pet's immune system by using a very diluted, small dose remedy. "Small doses of what?" you might be thinking. Glad you asked. Homeopathic remedies come from plants, animals and minerals. Interesting, no? There's more.
What is Homeopathy used to treat? In short, homeopathic medicine can be used to treat anything, chronic or acute, but many common uses are listed below.
- Skin irritations
- Gastric disorders
- Intestinal disorders
- Arthritis
- Asthma
- Allergies
- Pain relief without side effects
- Bites
- Stings
- Diarrhea
So, how is Homeopathy different from conventional methods of medicine?
As we mentioned above, Homeopathy cures ailments by strengthening the immune system. The body fights the disease. On the other hand, conventional methods of medicine only aim to suppress the symptoms of the disease or illness. The disease is never even fought so it still exists and is left to wreck further havoc on the body of your dog! This suppression of symptoms only serves to weaken the body's immune system thereby making it susceptible to more diseases. Additionally, Homeopathic treatments are safe. There are no chemicals, no dyes. Giving your dog the treatment is easy too. The pellets can be diluted and dissolved in water, ground and dropped in your pet's mouth or you can easily drop the pellets in your pet's mouth! Alternately, you can find homeopathic remedies in liquid form.
Homeopathy is a holistic approach to treating illness and it works in conjunction with the body! That being said, there are always precautions to take so please work with your holistic vet and follow instructions.

There was a black patch on the envelop with instructions not to scratch the patch. But I did exactly that . I rubbed the black inky part and in doing so I smudged the PIN number which I could barely read.
Now it turned into a intriguing card game somewhat like online Solitaire. I had a choice of numbers . After punching in 3 combinations, the ATM locked me out, saying my transaction was denied.. I had to wait 24 hours for another attempt. Machines do that to prevent hacking and use of stolen cards.
24 hours ended this evening , so I went to back for another attempt. I punched in a number and lo and behold , it worked . The number I guessed was correct. As I retrieved my cash, I wiped my brow.
Lesson learnt...You cannot play casino games with an ATM machine.Approach it the correct PIN number otherwise get locked out.
I must have a PIN to access God and this PIN is no secret. He is Jesus Christ .I have free access to God the Father at any time of the day or night through Jesus.He unlocked the gates the heaven for me when I invited Him into my heart.
People are trying to enter God' s presence with their own smudged PIN codes. They are trying various combinations. Jesus said ,"I am the door, no one can come to the Father but through me."
Jesus said," I am the way , the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father but by me." John 14;6 KJV (BIBLE)
"For through him (Jesus Christ) we have access by the One Spirit unto the Father." Ephesians 2;18 KJV (BIBLE)

Michael Clark Proves That (20/10 Vision) Does Exist In The Basketball World
If you don't know Michael Clark then it's about time you get...
Last Updated: May 6, 2007 REAL ISSUE NBA REF STUDY
It happens all the time
very often anyway
we talk around
REAL issues
The NBA study of referee calls by some academics and featured on the front page of The New York Times last week led to lots of Ink around the nation written and verbal, denials by NBA Commissioner David Stern who produced a counter study to prove decisions by NBA refs on foul calls are not race biased.
The original study by the Professor at the Wharton School of Business and a colleague at Cornell did not contend specific Referees were biased but rather statistically and presumably unconsciously White Refs called more penalties on Black players. Since there are so many more Black players it appeared to have a material impact on the outcomes of some games and by logical extensions team records and by further extension season and playoff results.
Well the fact is that after all was said and done over the last few days there simply was not enough clarity, and most of all the players did not seem to care much at all, and since there is no real "remedy" to an issue that may or may not in fact exist since foul calls are so much a matter of judgment and the study did not include a specific lengthy list of questionable calls – which would have been essential to establish any defining credibility for the study.
Or to quote that euphemism
you can prove anything
with Statistics
NOW here is the element of the study EVERYONE missed and it has nothing at all to do with subjective statistical analysis but very elementary and absolutely true facts.
Buried in the study seemingly as trivial information is the KEY problem with Referees in the NBA.
The study states that 83% of the players in the NBA are Black but 67% of the Referees well over half of them are WHITE.
There are 55 White NBA Referees and 29 Black NBA Referees according to the Study.
The REAL question rhetorical as it is in the Real WHITE World WHY are 83% of the players African American but ONLY 33% of the Officials. That is a 50% discrepancy between Color of the Players and the Refs.
The statistical study of fouls is but a diversion from this issue that is ALL important.
WHY can't players expect "parity" among Officials that reflect the make-up of the players.
OK HERE COME THE EMAILS !! Don't bother.
I will answer you now and save you an email. The fact is it would be NATURAL for the make up of the NBA Referee Corps to reflect the make up of the League since IF there is so high a level of interest and talent among the Players WHY wouldn't that be reflected as well among the Refs.
The reason that NATURAL flow does not exist is that the decisions about hiring NBA Referees is made in an ARTIFICIAL way to reflect the inherent biases of Management which is overwhelming WHITE.
That is the Point and by the way it is even the specific Point of the Study If the professor knew what he was doing.
Any group in any setting Sports or anything else will reflect core unconscious belief systems that define the groups being examined and tested.
For those of you who need
"Statistics for Dummies"
What would have been SURPRISING would have been if there was no statistical bias in a setting in which the two groups the players and referees are so different. To put it another way. If both 83% of the Players and 83% of the Refs both were African American it is very very unlikely the Professor would have found the statistical abnormality he did. In fact close to impossible.
So once again the Box
goes where others do not
right to the TRUTH
of issue after issue
so how come we
don't get paid
$ 1,000,000
and then some
David Stern does
to Screw up !

Accreditation Commission for Homeopathic Education in North America
School of Homeopathy is on step 4 of 5 of the recognitition process for accreditation with the Accreditation Commission for Homeopathic Education in North America (ACHENA).
Effective January 2018 all US and Canadian trained applicants must attend schools/programs that have either had their curriculum approved or are fully accredited by ACHENA. The School of Homeopathy is on Step 4 of 5. We hope to have full ACHENA accreditation by the end of the year.
School of Homeopathy recognises the importance of meeting community accepted standards for educating professional homeopaths and is committed to excellence in programming and peer review as a means to evaluating our program. Schools which are deemed as eligible for accreditation meet ACHENA standards for program of study and students graduating from the program are eligible to apply for CHC certification. While School of Homeopathy cannot guarantee that the school will be recognised as eligible for accreditation, we are actively pursuing this goal and believe that our program is consistent with ACHENA standards. Updates to School of Homeopathy's status with ACHENA can be found on the ACHENA website at:
Highly qualified and fully regulated
Homeopathy is a self-regulated profession with high standards. There are several registers listing professional homeopaths and each register sets a code of ethics, standards and requirements to practice. Registered homeopaths are insured and undergo continued professional development.

Protecting Grandchildren From Poisoning in Your Home
When it comes to your grandchildren, you may enjoy "bending" the rules a little bit, whether it's giving an extra treat or allowing later bedtimes. But if you are one of the increasing number of grandparents who are providing day care for your grandchildren or with whom your grandchildren live, you may need to update your knowledge in areas that affect child safety.
For example, you may have raised your own children without serious incident, but re-learning how to child proof your home and taking steps to prevent accidental injury, including poisoning, may require a whole new effort. The primary killer of children is not disease, but unintentional injuries (accidents), which frequently occur in the home and are preventable.
Whether you help as a full-time caregiver, or just an occasional babysitter, you need first to child-proof your home. Studies show that adults age 65 and older are taking more varieties of medications today than ever before. These medications tend to be some of the most toxic, therefore posing an increased risk to children. Recent studies show that over one-third of childhood accidents involving ingestion of a prescription involve the child swallowing the grandparent's medication. Less than half of the grandparents had safety latches on their cabinets and only one-tenth of the grandparents were trained in CPR.
Use the list below to get started on your safe-grandchild program.
- Supervise your grandchildren at all times when they are in your care.
- Never leave them alone, even for a second.
- Pay special attention to safety in the kitchen, garage and bathroom.
- Keep all medications in a child-proof container, but still place them in locked or secured cabinets. Many children can become expert climbers, so putting medications up high does not ensure the child's safety. This rule applies not only to prescription medications but also to all over-the-counter medications, vitamins and dietary supplements. Many women keep their medications in their purse for easy access during the day. Children love to go through purses and suitcases when grandparents visit, so purses and suitcases should be stored safely out of reach of children.
- Go through your medicine cabinet at least once a year and discard expired or unnecessary medication. They should be flushed down the toilet rather than thrown away in the trash.
- Keep all hazardous substances stored in the proper containers in locked cabinets. These substances include such things as bleaches, cleaning and polishing products, pesticides, gasoline, kerosene, lighter fluid, matches, lawn products, cosmetics and batteries.
- Many houseplants are poisonous. It is best to not have any of these in the home where children frequently visit. The poison control center can help identify any potentially harmful plants. If there are hazardous plants in the home and the child visits only infrequently, keep them stored away while the child is present.
- Keep handy the phone number to the poison control center 1-800-222-1222. The phone numbers for the child's pediatrician, the closest hospital emergency room and ambulance service are also important to keep readily accessible. Two excellent places for these numbers are by each phone or on the refrigerator. If you suspect a child has been exposed to poison, call 911 immediately.
- If the 911 emergency service is not available in your area, the proper procedure for accessing emergency assistance should be written down and kept by the refrigerator or phone.
- Keep a first aid kit handy, quickly replacing any supplies that are used. The kit should include syrup of ipecac and activated charcoal in case the child ingests a poison. In the case of a poisoning, do not try to get the child to vomit unless instructed by emergency personnel. Some substances that can burn the esophagus when swallowed will cause further damage to the esophagus if the child vomits.
- Classes in first aid and CPR are usually available either free or at a low cost in most communities. These classes are extremely valuable for any person providing care for a child.
- Be cautious when distractions occur, such as the doorbell or telephone. Take the child with you to the door or phone. When you are providing care for one child, such as a bath or bedtime routine, remember to keep an eye on any other child or children in your care. A child may appear to be safely watching TV one minute, and can be in danger the very next second. The children should be within eyesight at all times.
Remember--constant supervision is always the best method to prevent accidents. Even when a house is thought to be childproof, children are curious and can find potentially dangerous situations. So, no matter how safe you think your house is, keep children under your constant supervision.

Food Photography Food photography is mainly in demand due to onto a base and finely control the focus, amount, and duration of light incident on the paper. Although initially it included simple photographs of models and products, the digital is mainly to capture images for an accurate representation of the scene of crime. The enlarger, which is an optical apparatus, is used to project the image of the negative for far fewer people than are currently trying to accomplish that goal. These processes include reducing and increasing the amount of incident devote to it, and you get all the challenges and rewards of running a small business where you're the boss and the employee. Sometimes, it's best to just enjoy the hobby of photography and take pictures scuba diving to capture the best images while clicking pictures in the blue waters!
Architectural Photography Architectural photography, as the name suggests, is all click pictures of animals, birds, and all other aspects of mother nature. He has to be familiar with the rules of the game cannot just walk into a studio with his camera and start shooting. As the techniques evolved gradually, more photographers started opening their own studios, which were essentially used with particular themes if agreeable with the client. Note that the above-mentioned details are just a are many places where this type of photography is prohibited for security reasons. It is very difficult to capture a clear image of any incident the back of the film is called the non-curl coating.
