They Won't Even Know It's Educational!
- Written by Gabe Gregoire
- Published in Kids
Kids are meant to play. And not just because it keeps them out of your hair for long enough to cook dinner. Cops and robbers, or pony boutique — it doesn't matter. Very young minds are thirsty for experiences that allow them to exercise the judgment and confidence that they see in their adult role models, and play situations are just that. If your kids were pretending that the living room floor was a pool of deadly lava, would you worry too long about them knocking over your grandmother's lamp? Probably not. You'd let them play.
That's the name of a brand new program at Portland Public Library (5 Monument Way) that explores what children learn when they explore imagined situations. It's Let Them Play! and it begins with Terri Petnov's A Workshop for Parents and Caregivers of Young Children, on Thursday, March 9 at 6:30 p.m. The focus is on the development of early literacy skills in children, and how the magic happens when they have placed their attention on something in the kids' world that we all left long ago (but are overjoyed to revisit by watching them). Petnov is certainly qualified, having worked for 25 years at SMCC, starting an Associate Degree Program in Early Childhood Education and a Laboratory School for Preschoolers, now accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Learn more about her philosophy, and the new series of programs, at https://www.portlandlibrary.com/events/let-playa-workshop-parents-caregivers-young-children/
Once you're fired up about the ideas in your kids' minds being connected with words and sentences (volumes, if we let them tell us!), check out the South Portland Public Library's (482 Broadway) Book Bambinos, every Thursday including March 9 and 16, at 10:30 a.m. This is for tots aged from birth to 18 months. They are invited to participate in finger plays, rhymes, bounces, and books appropriate for their age group, all in preparation for their own 'book group,' where every child gets to hold a copy of a chosen board book to follow in as the wise and lovely Miss KIm guides them through it. These are the memories that they will store up like literary gold.
Hey, speaking of literacy, might you have resolved to read more this year? Show your kids that you have the healthy habit, too.

Kurosawa generally is recognized as the best of the modern Japanese filmmakers. He was the first Japanese director to gain international recognition, partly because his storytelling technique is not culture-bound. Rashomon (1950), a story of rape and terror that is told from several different viewpoints, received first prize at the Venice Film Festival in 1951; the film's title has become synonymous with the concept of subjective truth expressed in widely varying versions of the same story. The Seven Samurai (1954), a humanistic tale of samurai risking their lives to defend a poor village, is another Kurosawa classic. Kurosawa has always been attracted to Western literature, and two of his most notable films are based on Shakespeare's plays: Throne of Blood (1957), a retelling of Macbeth, and Ran (1985), a masterly reinterpretation of King Lear.

Mike Warren - Age 57
Owner - Operator
A resident of the Driftless Region for nearly 40 years. Mike caught his first fish in central Idaho as a youngster growing up on the Hagerman National Fish Hatchery where his father worked as a regional fisheries pathologist.
Mike started fly fishing the Driftless Region with an old Orvis Rocky Mountain 5wt in the early 80's long before today's vast fisheries improvements. Today, Mike either guides or fishes on his own well over 100 days a year throughout the northern half of the Wisconsin Driftless. On those days on his own he's seeking new secluded spots or learning every rock, log and stream curve on his favorite streams to take clients to.
Mike's "day job" - Golf Lifestyle products management consultant and regional sales rep for the likes of Allen Edmonds, Maui Jim, Legendary Headwear, Barrington Gifts and CertiFresh Cigar.
On the odd day when he's not in a stream he's usually found playing golf with friends or taking care of his lettuce, tomato, peppers and blackberry plants.
Nick Havlik - Age 32
Born and raised in Westby Wisconsin his "day job" is as a high school technical education teacher in Port Washington, WI. With a young family and a lot of his plate Nick now works exclusivly with his past client base.
He catches more fish than any one man should because he is willing to work at it. He never gets stuck on a bug. He will keep working until he finds the right combination. He covers a lot of water when necessary but knows when to keep fishing a hole until it stops. Most important - he simply LIVES to be knee deep in the water.
In the summer of 2013 he earned a new nick name from the guides at the Bighorn Angler in Fort Smith, Montana. After watching him for a couple days they started referring to him as the "Jedi" for his quick hook sets and an uncanny sense for knowing he's getting a hit before the indicator drops.
When Nick isn't teaching kids at Port Washington High School he's busy earning his 2nd Masters Degree, tending to his vineyard outside of Cedarburg, WI.

I don't know about you, but I love teriyaki. I love it for stir fry. I love it for marinade. Sometimes I even mix a bit of it with cabbage and use it as a dressing (I know, I'm a bit odd). Imagine my horror when I started to clean up my eating and reached for my favorite bottle of teriyaki at the store. This is what I found in the ingredients:
Naturally brewed soy sauce (water, wheat, soybeans, salt), wine, high fructose corn syrup, water, vinegar, salt, spices, onion powder, succinic acid, garlic powder, sodium benzoate: less than 1/10 of 1% as a preservative.
sigh. I moved to the next bottle, a new brand. Basically the same thing. High fructose corn syrup was high on the list. On to the next. HFCS was FIRST on the list. I checked every brand in the

For those needing a brush-up on their Avalon history, Cherie Adams joined the group in 1998 as Nikki Hassman's replacement, only to part ways after 2002's
Adams has a terrific voice, and though the production isn't first-rate, it's not too shabby for an independent project either; some of the guitar work in particular is quite excellent. Radio single "Water" is the standout, a smart application of Peter walking on the water to our own lives as a reminder to focus on Jesus, set to upbeat pop with an ethnic flavor. Nearly as good is "The Other Woman," which expresses the struggle with sinful nature through AC pop that resembles a funkier Point of Grace.
Because Adams co-wrote eight of the songs, this album is also more personal than the average inspirational pop project. "Hazel Eyes" is a romantic tribute to her husband, while "Funny" serves as a poignant response to the death of Avalon collaborator and friend Grant Cunningham. "Grieve for You" is the dramatic highpoint, fully demonstrating Adams' powerful vocal range in a heartfelt plea to a wayward soul.
Alas, Adams foregoes the opportunity to stretch herself musically, weighing the album down with

Success Story (KADA guidance's entrepreneur)
Success Story is a compilation of anecdotes which tell the stories of individuals and the rewards and successes they have achieved through their hard work, particularly in the field of agriculture and activities in the area governed by the Kemubu Agriculture Development Authority (KADA). Mostly, they refer to agro-based activities which encompass animal husbandry, aquaculture, rice cultivation, and vegetable farming. All the successful individuals in their particular fields, gain guidance and aid from KADA whether it is in the form of advisory services and financial aids, in helping them expand their businesses.
It can be said that all of these successful individuals began from humble and limited beginnings, on their own, but through their diligence and hard work coupled with their passion and unwavering effort, their activities gained success and have been able to be expanded quickly, generating a handsome income in the process.
However, KADA through its personnel in the area, have been working extra hard to increase the number of successful agro-based entrepreneurs and farmers, in line with their slogan and the introduction of government policy promoting "AGRICULTURE IS BUSINESS".

Basic needs: SHELTERS, FOOD. (I need for them!)
IT was a nightmare. Another two hour morning. The winds were whipping since last evening to about 50-60 mph. Terrible. Some of my shelters were OK, most had to be rebuilt. The one on Central and Second was horrible. I spent about 10 minutes trying to piecemeal it back together with tarp, gorilla tape, boards, all the while five or six cats were waiting for the food. Their shelters - the Styrofoam ones, were all blown apart, snow covering the straw - of course I did not have straw to replace, so put in dry blankets - will refill with straw tomorrow. It was very sad. I knew those cats spent the night without shelter. Another hut completely blew away. But I continued on at a quick pace as I had a friend ride along, and it was not a good morning for her to be with me. The weather was very bad, and she had a hand condition due to the cold which didn't allow her to help much. But I was glad for the company, no doubt. She was a good egg.
There is a very sick cat on Pennsylvania and Fourth - I can't do anything about it. Its a kitty that I've been feeding for over two years, a pretty tiger, always meowing - but early last week, I noticed the way it was walking, and from observation each day since, he's gone downhill. Its almost like his entire body is broken. My heart is just overwhelmed with sadness over this. There are some things you just can't do anything about. Why???? How can God allow this suffering???
I trapped a fluffy black kitty on Garson this morning, and another fully white one on Prince. Two more kitties that will NOT be producing babies!
I did go to the spot that was trashed yesterday on my lunch. I spoke to the man. He was not nice. He didn't care about the cats and made it very clear I was not to place anything on his property. He bought the place, was fixing up to rent. I had no say, no choice, my shelters buried under piles of dust, dirt, wood from the house, crap. I was so disappointed. ANOTHER heartless human being.
This morning, I built a makeshift shelter across the street in a vacant lot. I pray the cats could hear me and would come find the food. I've been feeding these two there for years. This is where I rescued SO many kitties, most recently Melody.
Say a prayer today for the kitties.
Have a great day!

Toleration from the intolerant,
And kindness from the unkind."

Democracy Group Blog
Curitiba Travel Blog› entry 5 of 5 › view all entries
You have been asked by the state department to prepare a constitutional overhaul for Brazil. The current electoral system has numerous problems and many complaints. You are to analyze the current electoral system and provide an alternative, describing the incentives for good government that your proposal will bring. To sell the program to the Brazilian public, your proposal must contain at least 3 soccer metaphors.
The populace of Brazil has become increasingly aware of the instability in the current electoral system. This vote of no confidence by the people has motivated the State Department to request a constitutional overhaul and a reform of the electoral system. Drawing from recent political discontent pertaining to misrepresented minorities in office, lack of transparency in financial records for campaign donators, and an absence of political parties to differentiate platforms, we propose the following alternatives and incentives for good governing strategies:
• In the Presidential, Gubernatorial, Mayoral, and Senatorial elections (the majority elections) it is required that at least three parties run, a candidate be registered for a party six months before the election, and the candidate can not defer from the party. These restrictions will allow more Brazilians to understand the concept of party affiliation. These party affiliations will align these personal views and desires with the most suitable candidate.
• The voting age will be changed from 16 years of age to 18 years of age. While voting is not required for Brazilians under the age of 18, it does not seem necessary that it be allowed at all. If the rules, laws, and regulations involved in these politics do not directly affect your life, then it does not seem right that you be given the opportunity to make a decision in them.
• In the d'Hondt proportional representational elections (city council etc.) districts will be created based on geographic regions for representation by the appropriate number of elected officials based on population. This regulation will make the smaller scale elections more organized for the sake of justice and the good of the people.
• Each party is required to submit forms declaring the percentage of minorities (women, youth, elderly, mulattos, blacks, Asian, Indian, etc) enlisted in the party register four weeks before the election. These statistics will be provided to the public via mass media independently and in a comparable chart to the other parties. This ruling has many implications. First, it provides the incentive for minorities to be elected into office. Political parties will want to increase their percentages of minorities to appeal to the population; therefore, more minorities will become active in politics. This will also be a great resource for the minorities to view the parties that best symbolize themselves. Women, for example, may want to vote for the party with the most women- for better representation. Our main goal is to help assist the mass of uneducated voters in Brazil. Many citizens are illiterate and therefore not at all well versed in politics. With this disadvantage, they may feel it better to at least align with a similar demographic group than to simply pick a random candidate or cast a blank ballot.
• Law Number 1,837 states: for individual businesses (not labor unions), it is legal to donate to candidates, but both parties and candidates are required to submit to the electoral courts detailed balance sheets listing contributors and expenses. Each party is also required to submit a balance sheet containing the make up of all investments and expenses- private, public, or otherwise- for public viewing through mass media four weeks before election. It will be recurrently published each week up to the date of election. While much of this information may be too complex for some of the populations, it will allow others to keep note of any unusual party happenings and in turn keep the parties in check.
• The assigned candidate numbers for elections will be given to all candidates at random. In the past, it has been noted that more popular candidates have been given easier numbers to memorize, while lesser-known candidates have more difficult numbers. Making all numbers a random draw will help all candidates have a more equal chance at election.
• Candidates are not allowed to contest the election under one party ticket and switch or assume office under another party. There will be no changing parties 3 months before the election.
• All politicians, in office and not, will not receive special pardoning from the law. They will be held in contempt for any crime they have or may commit. This will teach all politicians to respect the law and policy-making.
• On the ballot for the election, two changes are to be made:
o The names of the candidates must be their birth names. They are allowed to campaign with a nickname, but the name on the ballot must be their birth name. Some of the nicknames in the past few years have been inappropriate for serious political elections. We also hope that this reform will help people associate less with the personality and start moving towards the party association. Therefore, all nicknames will be kept off of the ballots.
o The candidates must submit a completed platform questionnaire created by the state department that will attempt to provide a stance from each candidate on three main public issues, selected from the public, a week before election. The response will be printed on the election ballot next to the name of the candidates or read along with the candidates name in the event that the voter is illiterate. This regulation is another attempt at informing the population of the general policies and views held by each candidate. While it is a rudimentary degree of information, it will clarify or inform some of the basics of candidate platforms if voters are unaware or confused during the electoral process.
Our main goal is to end corruption. With these proposed reforms, we believe Brazil has a chance to begin moving in the right direction.
To sell these reforms to the public, we will use three main metaphors that they should easily understand. Our primary goal is for them to understand that we are doing these reforms for them. We want to improve their lives with a better and less corrupt government. The metaphors we will use are:
• Who owns the ball?
o We decided to use this metaphor to show ownership. The people need to realize that this is their government too. They have the right to make choices and to voice their opinions in this democracy. We want them to see that they have the power to make change if they feel it is necessary. With our new reforms, we hope that they will become more aware of their politicians views on different issues, that they will feel more impelled to join a political party because of it's political stance, and that they will take the opportunity to learn more about the Brazilian government in general. If they have broader knowledge of these topics, hopefully they will feel they have a bigger voice to speak out against what they believe in. We believe we are giving them the resources to start. Now we will see how far they can take it.
• Don't miss an easy goal!
o This metaphor hints more at asking the people to make a stand. For voting purposes, we want them to see this metaphor and feel inclined to make a difference. We want them to realize that it's not difficult, hence the phrase "easy goal". Also, in a soccer match, the repercussions of missing an easy goal bring sorrow to the team and fans, especially in a close match. No one wants to feel the burden of missing that goal! If the people will stand up for their rights, we think they will feel much more united as a population despite race, sex, and how much money they have.
• The ball is on your side of the field.
o With this metaphor, the people should realize that it is their responsibility to make the true change in government and how the country is run. This metaphor is more serious and we hope that the people will take it earnestly. This can make all the difference for Brazil. It's up to the people to make that stance.

Along with Finn Juhl, Alvar Aalto was an antecedent of Scandinavian Modernism. He held close to the notion that the human condition is bettered by its co-existence with natural materials. Case in point, his epic "Paimio" Chair. Originally designed for a tuberculosis sanatorium, the chair is lightweight and exudes comfort, yet sacrifices no style doing it. It's trick? A frame comprised of two gloriously molded birch loops. Indeed, all Alvar Aalto pieces serve up deliciously fun curves—Our suggestion? Go ahead and savor.

But it is also an amazing joy when I get to know a person over time and watch the journeys down which life takes them.
I met Claya a few years ago when one of my assistants introduced her to me as yet another great person to help out spontaneously. Now, I've had the awesome opportunity to chronicle Claya's engagement and then her wedding to Patrick next month. The engagement shoots went wonderfully and I am looking forward to more camera time with this gorgeous couple when they wed in late September!
We had already met once before for an engagement shoot, but for lengthier engagements it is fun to capture more than one season before the wedding arrives. This also provides an opportunity to learn a couple's make-up and get to know them better from a camera perspective. So, after one great session, we decided to go for more.
We were set to meet at Unity Village Sunday evening. Claya and I had been communicating throughout the day and were a little nervous about how foreboding the sky had looked all afternoon. No raindrops had appeared yet, and we decided to just go for it. The minute our cars were pulled up side by side in the parking lot the sky finally let loose. Fat, wet raindrops started splattering the ground all around us. But, we were determined to stick to the plan!
|Here is just a sampling of what the drizzly day brought forth.
This picture is one of my favorites of the bunch!
One never knows what a day will bring, but one rainy day definitely brought us a spectacular engagement shoot and plenty of fun! Can't wait for their wedding next month!

Recently I was reading an internet forum regarding the Presidential election. A commenter was lamenting that other people were "low information voters." I thought about this and came to the conclusion that in a sense we all are dealing with "low information." Here's why …
The nature of most organizations, especially the media is to insure self-survival. How do they do this? By providing valuable goods or services to their customers/audiences/members!
Is there a non-partisan and unbiased arbiter who determines which organizations are performing well and which are not? In most industries, no. It is instead left up to the customers/audiences/members to individually decide. Are they qualified? And even in industries that do have professional boards or governance organizations that maintain standards, often times they are slow to discipline poor performing members.
The media and many churches for that matter are no different.
All media ('my chosen profession' to borrow a line from the Godfather) has the goal to insure their audience remains consumers of the media product (the newscast, or the sporting event, or the entertainment show, etc.).
Whether the content is delivered in print, or on television, or radio, cinema or the internet, contemporary audiences "click 'like'" on things they like or want to consume (that which agrees with them) and they ignore, or "unlike" that content which disagrees with their preconceived notions, beliefs and opinions.
As a result, and considering the need for self-survival ("the profit motive"), producers of content often willingly and intentionally create "echo chambers" of content. What is an echo-chamber of content? Its content that agrees with their audience's preconceived notions, beliefs and opinions while consciously or subconsciously underreporting, or failing to report content that disagrees with their audience's preconceived notions, beliefs and opinions.
Here is an example: You are unlikely to find certain stories or details/facts reported on Slate, or Vox, also published on Breitbart or Drudge, even if fully accurate and factual (the 'truth' or 'the whole news'). You are also unlikely to find some stories or details/facts carried on Fox News and televised on MSNBC even if accurate, all for the same reason. The echo-chamber must be maintained so the content producer continues to receive likes, ratings, ticket sales, seating capacity in an auditorium, or fulfilling an offering budget.
Additionally, some producers of content do not even care what message is being communicated in a given echo-chamber as long as it is successful at achieving likes. For example, most conservatives do not realize that the left-leaning Huffington Post was actually launched by no other than ultra-right anti-establishment Andrew Breitbart.
Content producers are motivated by "clicks." To get a click they are pressured to give the audience what they want … which is not what the audience necessarily needs.
The electorate will never "get educated by the media" unless they are willing to also listen to different echo chambers of content – or find a source not motivated by self-survival (profits) or a social or political agenda.
So far I have not found one.
As volunteer or staff church-techs we may have limited ability to influence the content being offered to our congregations. But that is not to imply we have no influence.
Is your church involved in compassion and justice ministries but not proclaiming the path to eternal salvation? Or is your church all about evangelism but not serving the poor, the handicapped, prisoners, the unborn, widows and orphans? Does your church emphasize certain peripheral doctrinal positions without educating the congregation on why others may hold differing positions? These are but a few examples.
As church-techs do we focus only on live-sound mixing but shy away from video production, lighting, radio/podcast or TV/YouTube streaming production? As techs, do we live in our own self-imposed echo-chamber?
Earlier I offered the proposition that "the nature of most organizations, especially the media is to insure self-survival." Echo-chamber mentality is the result of insulating ourselves from new thoughts and ideas. Organizations and individuals that do so will eventually entrench themselves in established policies, programs and procedures. Eventually paralysis sets in.
Are you open to disruptive thinking?
Can you be open to other echo-chambers without being disloyal to core principles?
What do you think?

A MAN who got his genitalia stuck in a steel pipe had to be cut free by eight firefighters using an industrial grinder.
The heavy duty cutting gear had to be used to remove the three-inch long hollow pipe after medics were unable to release it.
The painstaking operation, which involved eight firefighters, took around an hour.
The drama began after the man took himself to the accident and emergency department of Southampton General Hospital.
Restricted blood flow had left the man in a state of arousal, and unable to remove the pipe.
Staff there were so concerned that they phoned the emergency services and a crew from Redbridge Fire Station were initially dispatched.
But they had to bring in backup from St Mary's station which has a fire truck equipped with specialist cutting gear.
A disc gutter cutter, with a four-and-a-half-inch blade, was used to slice open the stainless steel pipe.
The man, in his 30s, offered no explanation for his predicament but was said to be "quite concerned and anxious". He had been given an anaesthetic to prepare for the procedure.
St Mary's crew manager Adrian Johnson said: "It was a very delicate operation. We did not want anything heating up.
The person who did it deserves a commendation for his nerve and steady hand."
Meanwhile, watch manager Greg Garrett from Redbridge station added: "I've only come across this type of thing three or four times in my 17 years as a firefighter. It's not a daily occurrence."
The man's private parts were left bruised and swollen.

John Dorrer, long of the Maine Department of Labor, discussed what's become an increasingly well-studied skills gap existing in the labor market during this week's meeting of the University of Maine System board of trustees in Portland.
My colleague, Matt Wickenheiser, covered a presentation Dorrer gave on the topic about a month ago, and the issue of how today's education is preparing Maine students for tomorrow's jobs is due to come up again Thursday morning.
Maine State Economist Amanda Rector will deliver the morning keynote address during the early portion of the Maine Principals' Association conference in Portland. Her talk is titled: "Education and the Future of Maine's Workforce."
With this conversation fresh and timely with the MPA presentation less than 24 hours away, I thought I'd bring out some numbers Dorrer showed system trustees on Monday that I found interesting.
First, more employed Mainers are college graduates than ever before, at least according to the most recent figures he used. While less than 21 percent of Maine job-holders had bachelor's degrees in 1990, by 2009 nearly 30 percent had that four-year post secondary diploma — or more.
If there are fewer jobs to go around and college graduates are taking up a higher percentage of the jobs there are, that would seem to me to compound in two directions the difficulty finding work for folks with high school diplomas or less.
That said, Maine has among the oldest work forces in the country, and when the Baby Boomers reach retirement age, the job market is due to get a lot of openings — provided job seekers have the skills to fill them.
Dorrer told trustees 48.3 percent of Maine's work force is comprised of workers older than 45 years old, and 22.6 percent are older than 55.
The most posted job openings in the state for post secondary graduates? Nurses.
Tallying up Internet job postings requiring some kind of higher education degree, Dorrer showed the board what employers have been looking for over the first nine months of 2011.
- Registered nurses, 742 job postings
- Sales representatives (except technical and scientific products), 559
- Mechanical engineers, 456
- General and operations managers, 358
- Computer programmers, 246
- Information technology project managers, 224
- Computer software engineers, 207
- Computer systems analysts, 200
- Physicians and surgeons, 196
- Accountants, 190
- Credit analysts, 177
- Office managers and administrative support workers, 144
- Physical therapists, 141
The certifications in the greatest demand over that same time period and body of research?
- Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), 316 postings
- Allied Health Certificate, 209
- Basic Cardiac Life Support Certification, 207
- Professional Engineer, 142
- Project Management Certification, 105
- Nurse practitioner, 81
- Advanced Cardiac Life Support Certification, 70
- Certified Nursing Assistant, 65
- Six Sigma (business management methodology), 62
- Certified Public Accountant, 60
- Certified teacher, 50
- Licensed Master's Social Worker, 43
- Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), 43
They're interesting numbers to look at for somebody about ready to enter college or deciding what retraining programs to consider. (John Dorrer below)

Parent Resources
When is the right time to take a drastic step towards improving your troubled teen's future? This is a question that all parents have asked before deciding the best course of action for their child was sending them to a therapeutic boarding school. Before choosing to send your child to an alternative school, it is important that you review why a new environment could be their best option. You can begin by pinpointing how far down the wrong path your teen is currently at. They may begin by lying to family members and not doing their homework. Or perhaps they are skipping school and prefer to always be hanging out with friends. If this sounds like your child, they are heading down a slippery slope that is only going to get worse.
The next thing you are going to want to do is figure out how long your teen has been making poor decisions for. If you continually find yourself granting a "one more chance" ultimatum, you will probably find that your teen simply ignores your pleas and continues to head further down the wrong path. When your teen's bad behavior has been going on for several months and is gradually getting worse, then you may want to stage an intervention as soon as possible. The quicker you intervene, the better off your teen will be.
If you still have a sense that something is just not right, then seek help immediately. A frequent mistake that parents make is waiting too long. Before you know it, your teen is 17 years old and your legal options are severely reduced.
If you have any questions about what options are available to you, please call us at 1-855-808-3367. We are renowned for working with families and helping struggling teens straighten out their lives. Let us help you pick up the pieces and get your teen back on the right track. Take our online test to determine if your teen's placement level.

Do we want a traditional or alternative party? Given that end-of-year parties can lead to inappropriate behavior (e.g., overindulging in alcohol, drunken driving, sexual harassment), some companies turn to alternative formats. Ideas for an alternative party: Mini-golf tournament, bowling, brunches, mini-cruises, rock climbing, or family events with pony rides or other entertainment.
Other questions to consider for the party format:
• Do we want to hold the event during the day or in the evening?
• Do we want to be more formal or less formal?
• Do we want the celebration to be in-house or off-site?
• Are we inviting spouses, entire families or clients, or do we want only staff?
• If it will be a family event, how will we entertain children?
Will we need live entertainment? Ideas: a jazz trio or an a cappella group singing holiday music. Tip: Avoid arranging entertainment that is so loud or show-stopping that guests can't mingle and talk.
Do we want to serve alcohol? Many companies opt to avoid it altogether, but even if you do serve alcohol, you can limit consumption. One idea: Greet guests as they enter with a glass of champagne or wine. Then close the bar. Tip: Ask bartenders to pour less alcohol than normal, and provide cabs for people who overindulge.
Will we need speakers or a master of ceremonies? Normally, a thank you from the CEO is sufficient. If you have multiple speakers, keep them to a few minutes each, or allow 20 minutes for a single speaker.
How will we focus on inclusion? One thing to keep in mind is the staff's diversity. Not everyone celebrates the same holidays, so incorporate a variety of traditions into your event.

Leading a Learning Organization: The Science of Working with Others
Written for principals and teacher leaders and directed primarily at improving the quality of organizational learning in schools, Leading a Learning Organization begins with an examination of the vital but often overlooked role that emotion plays in school cultures, including the fear and stress that are generated by the rapid pace of change and demands for accountability. Author Dr. Casey Reason draws on educational, psychological, and neuroscientific research to argue that leaders can change the prevailing emotional climate of a school in order to promote deeper learning at all levels. This resource looks at how to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of improving a school s emotional climate. It presents specific strategies to enhance organizational learning, including the change, analysis, and reframing strategy; purpose-driven inquiry; the creation of a defined learning culture; conscious use of current scientific knowledge about memory, and the use of empowering mental representations. Finally, Leading a Learning Organization explores the benefits of collaboration in building deep organizational learning and provides strategies for leaders to introduce collaboration more effectively and more frequently among school staffs.

As human beings we have a bizarre ritual. During the first few days of the new year, probably still drunk or hung over, we tend to plan our life and our life results for the year! We give it a catchy name such as "my new years resolutions" and promptly break them as we are sobering up. Of course the reason is that our resolutions are generally just a wish list with no real commitment or process behind them.
Blogger: Victor Kumar, Right Property Group
Each year, between Christmas and New Year, I sit down and put my thoughts on paper with what worked and what I would like to improve in the coming year. I base it around health, wealth, spiritual and of course family. Then in the first week, I find some quiet time and start putting pen to paper on what my goals are for each area... .and there can be more than one goal in each area.This is my version of a new years resolution.
I then take each goal and further expand it to decipher the REASON for the goal. This gives it meaning and significance, otherwise it is again, just like any new years resolution, where 95% of them are broken within the first week!
It is important to understand that reasons come first, then come the answers, ie on how to achieve it. Most, and I am guilty of this sometimes as well, try and get to the answers without having the compelling reasons as to why you are trying to achieve this goal.
Once that is done, I then break it down to action steps that need to be taken to get to this goal. For example, one of the most common new years goal is to invest in property. Action steps for this, assuming the goal is clear and tangible, would be to perhaps explore how you can leverage your time by engaging buyers agents such as Right Property Group to help you locate and negotiate a suitable property. Then you may decide to educate yourself on how to leverage off these assets to build a substantial property portfolio in line with your wealth goals.
The reason I am sharing this with you is that I work in a consultative role , using investment property as the vehicle to help my clients get to their individual goals, a buyers agent with proven results if you will. Each year, I get inundated with calls from people who have been following my Tuesday fortnightly property forum at Parramatta Rydges, or after reading about my clients results in property investment magazines such as Smart Property Investment, yet the common thing shines through, most have not thought through of what they are really aiming for when investing in property, and therefore, without the right guidance, end up buying the wrong property, or are "sold to" in seminars, where everything appears to be sugar-coated.
When you have set up your goals the right way, you are activating your brains Reticular Activation System (RAS). You would all be familiar with noticing many cars exactly of the same colour as the one you have just bought, that seem to pop up out of nowhere. Of course they have been around before you bought your car, its just that you hadn't tuned your brain to notice them, the old RAS!
The same will be true when you have set up your goals and are starting to implement the action steps...opportunities will start jumping out at you....or you will start noticing people around you doing things that are similar or in line with what you are doing. If it is property or knowledge about property you are after as part of your goals for this year, contact my office to be on the mailing list for alerts on when the next property get together is, they will be kicking off on the 5th of February. If you are out of Sydney, there are DVD's available of the sessions.

Has anyone else notice this? I can't reproduce it consistently though. Also, anyone ever get it to show the navigation without setting a destination? This thread has some advice, but I'm wondering if anyone else has better ideas.

My Profile
I'm Kathryn!
I want to raise some money for Langdale and Ambleside Mountain Rescue Team as they fetched me down from Silver How peak above Grasmere on the 10th November 2012.
Stretchering someone down is incredibly hard work! (and I'm not exactly svelte)
I had decent boots on and it was just an accidental slip which could have happened anywhere which ended with my left ankle getting 3 breaks (and now 3 plates)
They also warmed up my friends who were with me and their dogs and looked after them and Gary til I was fetched down.
I owe these amazing people and I dont think a thank you is enough!

The Bullied Intern
I hope you are both doing well. Flora, I am right there with you re "Is this it?"! Although I haven't arrived at "it" yet, I am starting to think I don't ever really want to get there! Especially if people like NM will be there too. So who is NM you ask? Well, I'll explain. After a rather uneventful week, my Friday evening was completely and utterly ruined by a meaner than mean email from a former boss. Why? She had gotten word of a little blog called the Eternal Intern and she was threatening me via email to remove all mention of her! I was hurt, then scared, then agitated and then irate. How dare she threaten me!
I couldn't for the life of me figure out why a woman with so much power and such a fabulous job would go out of her way to intimidate a former intern. Wouldn't it have been better to just turn off the computer and go home for the weekend? Perhaps she didn't even consider how much harm one little email would cause this Eternal Intern. Truth be told, I was choking back tears while reading. Needless to say my Friday night was ruined.
Don't feel bad for lil' old Ophelia though. I sent a dignified response clarifying my position, apologizing for the misunderstanding, etc. Funnily enough, I have never even mentioned her or anyone working for her in my letters.... until now that is! haha!
Bisous xx Ophelia
PS. All this has again left me questioning the ways of the fashion world. I think the three of us should get together and start our own business. Rose will be the film expert, I'll talk style and Flora, well Flora, ummm... what is that you do again? haha! xx
3 comments:
Ophelia, try to remember that some people have absolutely nothing better to do with their time. You sound like you have thick skin from being an eternal intern so grind through. karma is a bitch!ReplyDelete
Ophelia, chin up. How old is this woman? what a tool.ReplyDelete
What a b*tch - excuse my language!ReplyDelete

If you're a fan, a close observer, or a football handicapper, the Kansas City Chiefs are the kind of team that can make you very nervous in August. The potential exists for the season to move dramatically in one direction or the other. Chiefs' fans and observers have tended to the optimistic side in seeing the seven wins from last year as a building block, to which the returns of running back Jamaal Charles, safety Eric Berry and tight end Tony Moeaki are added.
The problem with the optimistic side is that it's easy to be predisposed to just see one side of the coin. So if you're a Kansas City Chiefs' fans you can feel heartened that objective money in Las Vegas is also taking the optimistic view of the Chiefs' season, as seen in the current odds posted to win the AFC West.
Kansas City is a 3-1 shot to win the division and their Over/Under number on wins is listed as eight. So right off the bat, if you want to collect on an "Over" bet, the Chiefs need to have a winning season. And in a division where all four teams can make a credible case as a contender, the linesmakers are pricing the Chiefs under the 4-1 mark that one would logically think of as a default.
What's even more noteworthy is that in the spring, when the AFC West odds were originally posted, the Chiefs were 9-2, placing them outside the 4-1 baseline. Clearly, the closer the smart money looks at this team, the more they like what they see. It doesn't mean Kansas City is going to have a good year. But it does mean that if you think they will, you're not just drinking NFL August Kool-Aid.
