Beginner's Mahjong 4: Mahjong Manners
Mahjong manners as translated by me from the JPML site. Japanese link at the bottom of the article. Enjoy!
– When you sit at a table, say hello.
It's polite to greet your fellow players when you sit at a table to play mahjong. Doing so will leave a good impression on them. [Translator's note: Do people need to be told that?!!!]
– When the tiles come up [on an automatic table], push your wall forward at a slant so the right side is closer to the center.
This makes it easier for people to take. If the left side is forward, a player may not see a tile and take the wrong one.
– When building the wall, make sure you place the last tile down (in the king's tiles or dead wall).
A tsumo from a tile drawn after declaring a kan (rinshanpai), equals one more fan. Thus it is a very important tile. If it is accidentally knocked over and prematurely shown, it could create an unfair advantage.
– Do not moupai (feel the tiles).
Wait until the player before you has discarded their tile. Taking a tile and waiting for the player before you to discard could result in an illegal action. You are not leaving any time after the previous player's play for pon, chi, kan or ron before starting your own turn. Being able to feel the tiles is good, but I have seen people get it wrong and discard their winning tile after reaching.
– Treat the tiles with respect.
Be careful to not knock tiles from the wall or drop them from the table. If you hit the tiles against the table, you will make other players feel uncomfortable or intimidated. If you're not careful, you may even damage the table [in the case of automatic tables].
– Line the discard piles in lines of six.
Long lines of discards are difficult to see. When someone has reached, it's difficult to work out when that happened if you have long lines. They also restrict the discard space of the player after you.
– Play as quickly as possible.
Get in the habit of placing the tile you just drew in your hand AFTER making your discard. You should get into the rhythm of deciding your potential discards while other players are drawing to ensure that play is smooth.
– Play mahjong with only one hand.
It may not be possible while you are still getting used to mahjong, but try to always play with one hand.
– Make clear and distinct calls.
Everyone on the table should be able to hear your calls. If your call is indistinct or too quiet, others might not be able to hear it.
– Don't give anything away about your own hand during play.
Mahjong as a game becomes pointless if you reveal information about your hand. Psychological word games are not part of mahjong. Therefore, do not say anything that could lead other players to speculate about your hand.
– Don't tut.
You shouldn't tut when paying other players or when someone tsumos. It makes other people feel uncomfortable. Of course, you should also refrain from humming, whistling, singing, tapping, crossing your legs, wearing hats or sunglasses etc.
– Don't display your tiles with one hand (when you win).
Using only one hand to put your tiles down a few at a time looks clumsy. When displaying your tiles or pushing the wall forward, use both hands.
– Be polite when paying with sticks.
Do not throw or drop sticks when paying. Instead politely place them near the person you are paying. It is good manners to place them on the table so that everyone can see them and not pass them into someone's hand.

| 11.7°C Belfast
Just as some football was breaking out in the European Championship the Germans again put – and in the circumstances they will just have to forgive the expression – a rather heavy foot in it.
It was not clad in a jackboot, admittedly, but that did not delay the speed with which assistant coach Hansi Flick apologised for suggesting that steel helmets might be a useful addition to his team's defensive armoury against Portugal when facing the free-kicks of Cristiano Ronaldo in the beautiful old town of Lviv today.
He said that he was no admirer of military terminology in football and he wished he hadn't said it, especially perhaps in the wake of team director Oliver Bierhoff's controversial aside that the team might reflect on their visit to Auschwitz in the manner of a "fireside" chat.
However, and as we were saying, football is now stepping out from a beneath some extremely heavy historic clouds and if the Germans had been particularly gaffe-strewn before yesterday's tournament kick-off it is reasonable to presume from now on their stride is likely to be increasingly sure-footed.
They may not be a football nation who always say the right things but the suspicion here is that they are about to remind us – and perhaps even Spain – that their actions on the field – and in all the detail that precedes them – speak thunderously louder than a few a misconceived words.
Indeed, it says much for the latest growth of their football image that the venom of Ronaldo's free-kicks suggests to the game's cognoscenti a rare threat to the progress of Joachim Löw's arresting young team.
They were a revelation in South Africa two years ago, of course, ransacking the hopes of Fabio Capello's England and Diego Maradona's Argentina, and it was the only the relentless rhythm of the Spanish La Roja that stopped their progress. Now, and a little scarily, Löw talk is about an infinitely stronger and more mature team – and even though at an average age of 24 it is the tournament's youngest, a collection of young charges who arrived here with a 100 per cent qualifying record.
Löw is both word perfect and passionate while analysing the progress of a team shaped around the likes of 23-year-old Mesut Özil, 22-year-old Thomas Müller and a Bastian Schweinsteiger who made his first impact on the big stage as a 21-year-old in the 2006 World Cup.
He said: "Of course winning Euro 2012 is a legitimate objective for a team of so much self-confidence, football quality and a desire to make a mark. Without that belief you will not get far. I think we have comprehensively proved in recent years that we are one of the best teams in the world. We're much more consistent than we were two or three years ago, more automatic in our combination play."
When Löw hits this vein of confidence, when he steps beyond the measured optimism common to even the strongest contenders, it is hard not to let the mind – and the senses – spin back to Bloemfontein on that Sunday afternoon when England were required to hide behind the travesty of Frank Lampard's disallowed goal in their search for a little rescued pride.
Who really knows what might have happened if England had drawn level after being eviscerated by the speed and the composure of that young German team? No one really, but some suspicions are better founded than others. The one that dominated a forlorn journey back across the veld was that Germany were simply too good, too poised, too united to have permitted England more than a brief retrieval of some passing momentum.
Most dispiriting of all was while England still searched for a way of playing best suited to their needs, the Germans, winners of three World Cups and three European titles, had once again re-made themselves.
And now Löw talks of a fierce confidence – and brotherhood – two years after that English debacle and at a time when once again the England team is so riven by division and pressure new manager Roy Hodgson cannot trust himself to some straight-forward talk on why he brought one player here and left another at home.
Here is Löw holding up another mirror to the English distress: "The young players are fundamental to what we do. They bring freshness, enthusiasm, great skills and audacity. They are desperate for success and simply love coming together to play high-tempo attacking football. They are so full of energy I sometimes need to put the brake on them."
It is not, of course, a preoccupation of Hodgson – as it wasn't for so many of his predecessors. When Löw talks of unity, you think of an England team which was so broken in South Africa that it was ordeal to get through a day's work and Capello, in the most wretched moment of an outstandingly successful career, was forced to admit that when he looked out on an abject performance against Algeria in Cape Town he didn't recognise his own team.
Löw almost certainly would not have recognised the reaction of one of England's most trumpeted young players, Micah Richards, who turned down service to the national team because the wrong person phoned with a request for him to go on stand-by. The German head coach was last contemplating a harsh reaction to the behaviour of Jérôme Boateng before the squad left Germany. Boateng seemed more interested in an extended farewell to a glamorous entourage than bonding with his playing comrades.
The consequences may be seen against Portugal today – with Boateng out and midfielder Lars Bender pitched into the challenge of attempting, apparently with some considerable help, to containing the threat of Ronaldo.
Ronaldo's Real Madrid team-mate Sami Khedira and Schweinsteiger are likely to be among Bender's assistants. Said Khedira: "We have to get to Ronaldo early and take away any space he has basically. We need to spoil his enjoyment. He is Portuguese and the Portuguese do not function that well when they do not enjoy themselves. I have never seen anyone else who has Ronaldo's talent and confidence. I think you can never shut out a player like Ronaldo."
Per Mertesacker, who is in some need of redemption after a poor performance in a shocking 5-3 friendly defeat to Switzerland last month, believes it may come down to a matter of serious mind games. "I am experienced in understanding what the team needs," he said, "and it's true we have angered Ronaldo a few times in the past and we must do it again. Mainly, we just cannot give him too many one-on-one situations."
There is no doubt that if Germany are concerned it is at the back of their defence – and that no one is more capable of exploiting that weakness than than Ronaldo.
However, there is something that even the reigning champions Spain have come to recognise in Germany. It is the strength of their will and former German midfielder Hansi Müller is quick to recognise the force of Low's command.
"While Spain remain the team to beat," he said, "I'm convinced we have making up ground rapidly. We all know Jogi Löw is an intelligent coach but what stands out for me is the strength of his conviction, his guts.
"Many coaches are wary of giving young players a chance, they don't think long term. Löw is the opposite. He values the ability of the youngsters and their hunger and he has been rewarded with an outstanding team."
It is an impressive tribute on the day Germany seek to re-state their genius for re-creating the strength of their football on the most important occasions. It is true that their words sometimes fly off in the weirdest directions. But always they come back to the essence of their football. It is not jackboots and steel helmets. It is a set of brilliant priorities, starting and ending with the power of youth.

The Overwatch League's Philadelphia Fusion will build a $50 million esports arena to host its matches and make Blizzard events.
The Overwatch stadium is expected to be playing in the new building by early 2021.
The 3.500 Overwatch seat arena will be notable as it's the first dedicated stadium for esports in the Western Hemisphere. Comcast, which owns the Philadelphia Fusion, plans to break ground on the 47-acre site this summer. The Overwatch league stadium will be located in the South Philadelphia Sports Complex, which is already home to the city's NFL, NBA, NHL, and NCAA teams.
The $50 million project is a testament to the surging popularity of esports, in which players compete in video games before large crowds. The company plans to break ground this summer on part of the 47-acre stadium complex site that Comcast Spectacor leases in South Philadelphia.
The 3.500-seat arena will rise on a parking lot, next to Xfinity Live! and within walking distance of the Linc, Citizens Bank Park, and the Wells Fargo Center.
Also a gaming training facility
Inside, the stadium will include a 10.000-square-foot training facility, two balcony bars, a broadcast studio and premium seating that could be used for Blizzard events like concerts and corporate events.
When the Fusion aren't using the arena, it'll double as a venue for other live events.
The Overwatch League regular season begins in February and lasts through August, with playoffs and championship games in September, so there will be plenty of the year when the building is otherwise vacant.
Overwatch players are expected to be on the road in 2020, with all teams playing in their home cities. At present, all Overwatch teams continue to flock to Los Angeles' Blizzard Arena to play their games.
"Fusion Arena gives esports fans a best-in-class venue to call home and be proud of. Beyond competitive gaming, it's a stunning facility that will host a wide array of events", said Dave Scott, chairman and CEO of Comcast Spectacor.

You may have a voice disorder if you have a problem with pitch, volume, tone, and other qualities of your voice. These problems occur when your vocal cords don't vibrate normally.
Your voice is the sound that air makes when it is forced out of your lungs and passes over your vocal cords. Vocal cords are the 2 folds of tissue inside your voice box (larynx). The vibration of those cords is what makes speech.
Voice disorders include:
Laryngitis. This is when your vocal cords swell. It makes the voice sound hoarse. Or you may not be able to speak at all. Acute laryngitis happens suddenly. It is often caused by a virus in the upper respiratory tract. It often lasts just a few weeks. Treatment is to rest the voice and drink plenty of fluids. Chronic laryngitis is when the swelling lasts for a long time. Common causes include a chronic cough, using inhalers for asthma, and GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Treatment of chronic laryngitis depends on the cause.
Vocal cord paresis or paralysis.The vocal cords can be paralyzed or partly paralyzed (paresis). This can be caused by a viral infection that affects your vocal cord nerves, an injury to a nerve during surgery, stroke, or cancer. If one or both of your vocal cords are paralyzed in a nearly closed position, you may have noisy or difficult breathing. If they are paralyzed in an open position, you may have a weak, breathy voice. Some people will get better over time. In other cases, the paralysis is permanent. Surgery and voice therapy may help improve the voice.
Spasmodic dysphonia. This is a nerve problem that causes the vocal cords to spasm. It can make the voice sound tight, quivery, jerky, hoarse, or groaning. At times, the voice may sound normal. Other times, the person may not be able to speak. Treatment may include speech therapy and shots (injections) of botulinum toxin to the vocal cords.
For normal speech, your vocal cords need to touch together smoothly inside your larynx. Anything that interferes with vocal cord movement or contact can cause a voice disorder. Many voice disorders can be cured with treatment when diagnosed early.
Voice disorders can be caused by many factors. In some cases, the cause is not known. Possible causes can include:
Growths. In some cases, extra tissue may form on the vocal cords. This stops the cords from working normally. The growths can include fluid-filled sacs called cysts, wart-like lumps called papilloma, or callus-like bumps called nodules. There may be patches of damaged tissue called lesions. Or areas of scar tissue. In some people, a band of tissue called a web can grow between the vocal cords. Other growths include a small area of chronic inflammation (granuloma) and small blisters called polyps. Growths can have many causes. These include illness, injury, cancer, and vocal abuse.
Inflammation and swelling. Many things can cause vocal cord inflammation and swelling. These include surgery, respiratory illness or allergies, GERD, some medicines, exposure to certain chemicals, smoking, alcohol abuse, and vocal abuse.
Nerve problems. Certain health conditions can affect the nerves that control the vocal cords. These can include multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, Parkinson disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and Huntington disease. Surgery or laryngitis can also harm nerves.
Hormones. Disorders affecting thyroid hormone, female and male hormones, and growth hormones can cause voice disorders.
Vocal abuse. The vocal cords can be stressed by using too much tension when speaking. This can cause problems in the throat muscles and affect the voice. Vocal abuse can also cause a voice disorder. Vocal abuse is anything that strains or harms the vocal cords. Examples include too much talking, shouting, or coughing. Smoking and constantly clearing the throat is also vocal abuse. Vocal abuse can cause the vocal cords to get nodes and polyps. These change how the voice sounds. In some cases, a vocal cord can break or burst from vocal abuse. This causes the cord to bleed (hemorrhage). You can lose your voice. Vocal cord bleeding must be treated right away.
If you have a voice disorder, your voice may:
Have a quivering sound
Sound rough or harsh (hoarseness)
Sound strained or choppy
Be weak, whispery, or breathy
Be too high or low or change in pitch
You may have tension or pain in your throat while speaking, or feel like your voice box is tired. You may feel a lump in your throat when swallowing. Or you may feel pain when you touch the outside of your throat.
If you have a voice change that lasts for a few weeks, your healthcare provider may send you to see an ear, nose, and throat specialist (otolaryngologist). This doctor will ask you about your symptoms and how long you've had them. He or she may check your vocal cords and your larynx using certain tests. These may include:
Laryngoscopy. This lets the doctor view the throat. With indirect laryngoscopy, the healthcare provider holds a small mirror at the back of the throat and shines a light on it. With fiber-optic laryngoscopy, a thin, lighted scope (laryngoscope) is used. The scope is put through your nose down into your throat. Or it is put directly down into your throat.
Laryngeal EMG (electromyography). This test measures electrical activity in the throat muscles. A thin needle is put into some of the neck muscles. At the same time, electrodes send signals from the muscles to a computer. This can show nerve problems in the throat.
Stroboscopy. This test uses a strobe light and a video camera to see how the vocal cords are vibrating during speech.
Imaging tests. X-rays and MRI can show growths or other tissue problems in the throat.
Treatment for a voice disorder depends on what's causing it. Treatment may include:
Lifestyle changes. Some of these changes may help reduce or stop symptoms. They can include not yelling or speaking loudly. And resting your voice often if you speak or sing a lot. Exercises to relax the vocal cords and muscles around them can help in some cases. Warm up the vocal cords before long periods of speaking. Drink fluids to stay hydrated.
Speech therapy. Working with a speech-language pathologist can help with certain voice disorders. Therapy may include exercises and changes in speaking behaviors. Some of these may include timing deep breaths so that they power your speech with adequate breathing.
Medicines. Some voice disorders are caused by a problem that can be treated with medicine. For example, antacid medicine may be used for GERD. Or hormone therapy may be used for problems with the thyroid or female hormones.
Injections. Your doctor can treat muscle spasms in the throat with a shot of botulinum toxin. In some cases, your doctor can inject fat or other fillers into the vocal cords. This can help them close better.
Surgery. Your doctor can remove some tissue growths. If cancer causes the growths, you may need other treatment. This may include radiation therapy.
Voice disorders affect the ability to speak normally.
These disorders can include laryngitis, paralyzed vocal cords, and a nerve problem that causes the vocal cords to spasm.
Your voice may quiver, be hoarse, or sound strained or choppy. You may have pain or a lump in your throat when speaking.
Your healthcare provider may send you to see an ear, nose, and throat specialist (otolaryngologist). This doctor may do certain tests including imaging tests.
Treatment for a voice disorder depends on what's causing it. Treatment may include lifestyle changes, speech therapy, medicine, injections, and surgery.
Tips to help you get the most from a visit to your healthcare provider:
Know the reason for your visit and what you want to happen.
Before your visit, write down questions you want answered.
Bring someone with you to help you ask questions and remember what your provider tells you.
At the visit, write down the name of a new diagnosis, and any new medicines, treatments, or tests. Also write down any new instructions your provider gives you.
Know why a new medicine or treatment is prescribed, and how it will help you. Also know what the side effects are.
Ask if your condition can be treated in other ways.
Know why a test or procedure is recommended and what the results could mean.
Know what to expect if you do not take the medicine or have the test or procedure.
If you have a follow-up appointment, write down the date, time, and purpose for that visit.
Know how you can contact your provider if you have questions.

1976 LX SS Torana build number 1
1st production L31 SS Torana ever made.
Mostly factory correct.
Leave in "survivor" condition or restore.
Very special piece of Holden history.
Showing 175,744 K's
Chassis # ALX000032M
I don't think I'm going too far out on a limb, when I state that the Torana peaked with the LX series. Now devoid of the smaller, Vauxhall derived earlier series, but debugged from a few of the LH issues, the LX was born the "golden child", especially when Holden dropped the ball with the technically smart, but aesthetically challenged UC series that followed it. Poor old UC… Then, just to kick it while it's down, along came the midsized Opel sourced Commodore and the mighty Torana, Australia's greatest race car, died with a whimper.
Of the Golden Child LX's model range, the new "Hatchback" design was both revolutionary and a damn good looking fastback car. Option her up a bit and you had yourself something both sporty and very practical. That in itself, is a feat not easily achieved! Upon its successful and high profile release, the hottest variant of the LX hatchback was a SS (Super Sports, nothing to do with the Nazi's I'm told.) that could be had in either L20 6 cyinder 202 variant, L32 V8 253, or the big daddy for the LX, the L31 308. Option that up further, with a M21 close ratio 4 speed and LSD diff and you were cooking with gas. Better choose one of those glorious, lairy 1970's colours too please! Viola, you had an awesome street machine with strong cred', that could ferry about the kids, convert into a panelvan via the "Hatch Hutch" if the need 'aroused' and could handle the completely shithouse roads of 1976 Australia, with aplomb. In short, the L31 SS Hatch was the best thing you could park your bum in in 1976. But what about the awesome L34 engine? Well Holden was going to slip that into the homologation special A9X, but ADR27a came about and the L34 was phased out, meaning the same L31 of the SS hatch, albeit with a few mods, was all the poor A9X ever got. What a bummer for GMH, but pretty cool for your SS Hatch owner, who, like nearly everyone else in the 1980's, stuck an A9X flare kit on his SS and thoroughly enjoyed his Walter Mitty moment.
The LX SS Hatch in question is quite a fascinating car. It is not only a factory Papaya Orange L31 SS, but its PSN (Production Sequence Number) makes it the first SS 5000 Hatch ever made! Now, before everyone flares up (A9X pun intended), please be aware that GMH in the mid 1970's was not a Swiss watch and just having the lowest PSN, does not make it the first one out the factory. It means it was MEANT to be the 1st and was the 1st one they started to build, but most likely wasn't the 1st one "out the door" so to speak. These 1st build cars were usually held up for QC purposes, both due to a new thing going down the production line, was likely to get a few things wrong and also because the 1st few models of something exciting usually had an exciting role!! This particular chassis ALX000032M (Why couldn't they make the 31st LX the 1st L31 SS? My OCD is riled…) was built in late 1975 (As per her ID Tag) finished on the 21st of January 1976, but wasn't sold by Zupps until June 1976. So for 6 months she did something pretty cool… What was it? Show car? Press car? GMH Employee car? Harry Firth's personal time machine with GMH Flux Capacitor? Absolutely nothing? I'm not sure, but there would be an interesting story to be told and something the new owner can enjoy uncovering at a future date.
As far as we know, the car has been smart enough to remain in QLD in 1976 and it is quite a nice, honest old thing, that has a few needs, but nothing untoward for a 42 year old car. Suprisingly, she has also managed to escape from getting the popular A9X "treatment" most SS Hatch's have received. The evidence of those kinda' awful mudguards speak volumes to me about the car prior ownership; they didn't care about cool, they kept it very practical and in doing so, have created a very nice survivor spec car. She has a few cool "day 1" mods that are easily replaced and courtesy of a freshly rebuilt 308, she gets along very nicely!
A complete, unmolested L31 SS Hatch in Papaya is quite the prize in Australian collector car circles, but to have the 1st one in the production sequence, which also happens to be the first SS L31 Torana ever made, is an excellent opportunity for someone who appreciates that cars like this, are something special, on top of an already special model.

That dress looks really pretty - can't wait to see you modelling it :)ReplyDelete
Speaking of modelling things, I'm also looking forward to seeing more of your pom-pom creations!
In that photo where you're proving how you can't use your self-timer, is that my Tesco jumper I spy!? If it is, I love it - if not, hope it's not a really expensive one & you're now offended that I thought it was a Tesco bargain!
This is a fantastic post. I love that tunic you picked! It has really pretty colors and the sleeves are so whimsical.ReplyDelete
I'm glad you had a relaxing weekend. It seems that maybe you could try to be a bit more restful in the upcoming weeks.
Dear Alex, the dress is lovely. I like Pearl and I posted some pictures of Daisy Lowe wearing the latest collection on my blog a while back. I keep meaning to go and check it out so that's a shame to hear about most of the fabrics. Why do they do that?ReplyDelete
I love watching dressage and show jumping. I'm horse mad too. I can't do three day eventing because I've seen too many horses break their legs and I can't cope.
I'm so sorry I forgot to take the headband pics for you but will do it this week when I go into the studio.
I am really tired at the moment for no apparent reason too. It must be the weather and the dark evenings.
I'm messy too. I have to tidy up two or three times a day so I totally understand xx
I have thoroughly enjoyed this post. I just found your blog and I'm glad I did.ReplyDelete
I love it!
those boots in the catalog are so cute! lovely blog :)ReplyDelete
i realllly like that dress. i also agree that the marjoity of the pearl lowe range has been awfully made, what a disaapointment!ReplyDelete
i wouldnt have thought about john lewis for any fashion inspiration but i may have to give them a go now xx
Well the dress is lovely, and good that you have had a relatively relaxing weekend ;) If you fancy a "do-nothing" weekend in Shrews at any point do let me know :) xxReplyDelete
I have that problem with the self-timer too ???ReplyDelete
Also printed off a pompom tutorial last week, looking forward to trying it out and seeing your makes! x
Can't wait to see the pom pom headband! I'm SO with you on the taking it easy. Have sent you an email btw xReplyDelete
I want to see more of the pom-pom creations, sounds like you've found your niche. I have totally missed the Pearl Lowe at Peacocks, so I am quite intrigued, it's a shame the fabrics not the best quality though xReplyDelete
Loving the first dress, I love Pearl Lowe and she actually bought a dress off me earlier this year.ReplyDelete
I threw that Jon Lewis catalogue straight in the recycling bin when it fell out of the Guardian at the weekend...it's evil! xxx
I love skater dresses, sooo flattering. New Look usually have fab ones too.ReplyDelete
I'm also a messy one but i'm sooo trying to change(not successfully!) xx
I am so trying those pompoms. :)ReplyDelete
Love that dress, think it'd really suit you.
And I am unbelievably messy also. Can't help it, I have the best intentions but can't control the mess.
buy the dress! or did you already? it's super cute...love the print.ReplyDelete
♥ vanilla ice cream ♥
Ooh I def wanna see a pompom headband! And my house does that too - I tidy up and somehow a few hours later, theres magazine cuttings and wool and cups everywhere, its a mystery :)ReplyDelete
That Pearl Lowe dress is gorgeous. Pretty good for a 'designer' who made her name dip-dying lace curtain panels.ReplyDelete
I'm like Christina, I can't bear to watch X-country anymore, same with racing over sticks, but show jumping and dressage, especially, fab. Years ago, when I lived down south I got to see Christina Stuckleburg at Goodwood. She was amazing. And when I was really young I got to go to Hickstead-when Harvey Smith was at his peak. Oh goodness, just thought of Marion whats-her-name and Stroller. Blimey, I feel old!! Mind you, that Fox-Pitt chap's been going for a few years now, hasn't he? He must be fit...cue a conversation like the girl out of this years Big Brother...do you think he's fit? etc etc
Z xx
PS I so love the pom poms, must have go at making some. Maybe you'll have to start a Flicr group, "Pom Pom Love"!
Love that dress and adore your pompom necklace from your previous post. As for a pompom headband.... YES!! What a brilliant idea, can't wait to see it. That may well be something I have to copy!ReplyDelete
That Peacocks dress is lovely - great print. Can't work out how to work the self-timer on my camera - might have to dig out the instructions. xxReplyDelete
I love the sleeves on the dress, I have a thing about boots and those in the catalogue are gorgeous, only thing is that I can rarely get boots to fit my fat calves so usuakly have to go with ankle boots. xxxReplyDelete
I know what you mean - I have never been tidy! If you love George R R Martin (which I do, although I'm only into the first book) you will LOVE the Wheel of Time stuff. My friend who is a fellow WoT fangirl recommended Martin to me as 'if you love WoT, you'll love this' so I bet it goes the other way! You can get the books dirt cheap on abebooks and if you can slog through the first one which is a tad Tolkienesque, at least at the beginning, the scope and detail of the series is absolutely breathtaking. I can honestly say I've never read anything like it.ReplyDelete
I LOVE your pom pom necklaces! I had a look last night after I saw your comment on my post and they are awesome. When I get the shop up and running I definitely want some on there :D xxReplyDelete
Love the dress! It's so different & lovely!ReplyDelete
I know what you mean about tidying up - I give up after a while! x
ooo,that Pearl Lowe frock is divine!!ReplyDelete
Time off is always a good thing,but getting it is indeed another matter! I find I either don't have the time or don't have the money to enjoy it properly!!!Generally,I save as much leave as poss,as we like to take big holidays!
Those SLEEVES! That is beautiful, can't wait to see you in it =) xxReplyDelete
OOOH that dress is pretty! you would look fabulous in it!! :) I love your comments so much. They make entire days better with just a word from you :)ReplyDelete
I'm writing you a letter FINALLLLYYY!! :):):)
Beautiful dress!ReplyDelete
Haha, I used to do self-timer too but I could never find a good place to put my camera.
I love H&M's skater dresses - they're so easy to wear and go with pretty much anything. Love that Pearl Lowe dress too! xReplyDelete
Self timer can be so tricky. And I always feel completely awkward waiting for it to go off. And your pom pom necklace was inspirational! I wish I could be bothered DIY-ing. I'm hoping to make it a hobby next year when I'm a poor uni student. Maybe :pReplyDelete
Miss you xx
The dress is VERY pretty! And I also need to figure out how to do the self-timer on my camera too.ReplyDelete
CLOTHED MUCH, a modest fashion blog
Ha! I do exactly the same thing with gorgeous fashion magazines. I ogle the outfits and mentally pair pieces together and think 'one day when I'm rich, you will me mine, my pretties!'ReplyDelete
That dress is gorgeous! I hate self timers! At least 75% of my photos end up blurred!ReplyDelete
I'm easily pleased - a simple comment will cheer me up no end. So do drop me a line below...
Sorry to readers who prefer to comment anonymously but I am getting clobbered with spam at the moment so have had to disable anon comments. Feel free to get in touch with me in another way!

The education offer has become more responsive to the needs of the labour market, while demographic trends and regional differences create challenges
According to the Ministry of Economics' medium and long-term forecasts for labour market, the employment opportunities in general will increase over the coming decade, while demographic trends and regional differences in the labour market will lead to an even greater shortage of labour force.
"For a sustainable growth of Latvia's economy, the productivity of business, education system and every single person must be raised. The business should become more productive, thereby allowing for reduction of business costs and raising wages for workers. The education system must create the labour force needed by the labour market, in particular by developing a comprehensive adult education system and competency-based approach. Every day, we need to learn new skills needed in today's rapidly changing economy, thereby raising our competence and competitiveness in the labour market," emphasizes Arvils Ašeradens, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy.
In the medium term, the shortage of the average skilled workforce will become more pronounced, and manufacturing and construction will be most affected by it. The structure of education offer has become more balanced with the needs of the labour market, but the number of young professionals entering the labour market is still lower than required to fully address the labour shortages.
"The development of a comprehensive adult education system is essential in order to reduce disproportion in the labour market in a relatively short period of time and to be able to adapt quickly to the changes in the 21st century — in the era of rapidly evolving science, technology and high-tech, when previous knowledge and skills are becoming obsolete much faster. By the year 2021, almost EUR 150 million in support from EU funds will be available to promote adult education. It is essential that these funds be used efficiently and achieve their goal, i.e., reducing the share of low-skilled workers in the labour market," continues the minister.
Workforce demand will grow slower, while employment opportunities will widen
In the future, growth in the economy will be based on increase in productivity; therefore, the workforce demand is expected to grow slowly in the medium term. Until 2025 the number of the employed might increase only by a bit more than 11 thousand in comparison with 2017, and four sectors will mainly contribute to this – business services, construction, trade and manufacturing. Meanwhile, after 2025, the number of jobs in the labour market could even slightly shrink. Taking into account automation trends of different jobs, the largest drop in jobs is expected in occupations with big share of manual and repetitive jobs. At the same time, it can be predicted that workforce demand in elementary occupations might reduce by about 36% or more than 40 thousand jobs before 2035.
The main job opportunities will be created by replacement demand - due to workforce ageing and exit from the labour market, the number of job vacancies in the medium term will exceed 150 thousand. Therefore, by 2025 the employment rate of the population aged 15 to 74 might exceed 67% (~63% in 2017), but in the long term this might gradually get close to 70%. In the long term, job opportunities will grow in the sectors, which create and serve new technologies, as well as taking into account society ageing trends, the demand will grow in different services related to health support, rehabilitation and other tourism related services.
Labour shortage will be aggravated by the demographic trends
Taking into account the negative demographic trends, the lack of adequate labour force can become a significant barrier to economic growth in the future. It is expected that by 2035 the population of Latvia may decrease by over 132 thousand, moreover, with the number of working age population falling more rapidly than the total population. The main reason for the decreasing number of population in both medium and long-term will be ageing, as a result of which the gap between the birth and death rates will increase.
Already in the next 5 years the unemployment rate will approach 6%, thus the number of vacancies will decrease rapidly. Already now economic activity of the population and employment rate have reached the highest historical marks, therefore, the participation of population in the labour market in the future will only partially compensate for the reduction in labour supply due to demographic trends.
In the medium and long term, ageing of the labour force will have most effect on the availability of medium-skilled labour force. By 2025, the economically active population with vocational secondary education might reduce by about 18% or almost 52 thousand, but shortage of labour force with relevant qualification might increase up to 31 thousand. Sectors like construction and food processing, where the share of medium qualification jobs is about 60% and high share of employees of pre-retirement age will experience shortage of medium qualification labour force the most.
An essential prerequisite for stabilizing the labour supply is a change in demographic trend: in the long run, the gap between the newborn and the number of the deceased should be reduced, while in the medium term, the labour market gap can be offset by a well-considered migration policy. Ensuring stable economic growth, creation of jobs and wage growth are the key precondition for reducing emigration flow and promoting re-emigration. The Ministry of Economics does not support the proposals on immigration for low-skilled jobs. It is short-term thinking that will, in the long run, create major challenges for immigrants' social security, healthcare, education, and social inclusion.
The harmonization of labour supply and demand in the future may be hindered by the regional differences in the labour market
Regional differences in the labour market become increasingly more distinct- new jobs mainly appear in more economically active regions and larger cities, while less developed regions have the biggest number of job seekers. Registered unemployment rate in the Latgale Region is still almost four times higher than in the Riga Region, which has more than 4/5 of all vacancies. In the coming years, the regional disparities can significantly impede a balanced development of the labour market. Meanwhile, the regional equalization of the labour market is hampered by the low regional mobility of labour force, i.e., the ability to rapidly change their place of work and residence.
The planned support program of the Ministry of Economics for the construction of tenancy housing in the regions will facilitate the availability of labour force in areas with increased employment, as the availability of high-quality housing for the population with average income will increase and thus, returning of Latvians home from abroad will be encouraged. Within the scope of the programme it is planned to provide financial support to local governments, except Riga and local governments bordering Riga City.
The education offer has become more relevant to the needs of the labour market
In recent years, the education offer has become more balanced and closer to the future labour demand. A great deal of the previously predicted labour supply and demand imbalance has diminished. Although a significant shortage of specialists with higher education in STEM directions (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) is still projected to be ~ 17 thousand in 2025, however, compared with the forecast, it has decreased by almost 1/4 (previously it was predicted, that in 2025 the lack of these specialists will be ~ 23 thousand). A much smaller surplus of labour is predicted compared to previous for specialists with education in the humanities and social sciences. By large, these changes have been fostered by a far more balanced higher education offer structure - the number of students enrolled in STEM disciplines has grown by approximately 7 % since 2008, while the share of students enrolled to social sciences programmes has reduced by 15 percentage points.
More and more young people choose vocational education. Also in the academic year 2016/2017, the number of youths who continue studies in vocational education after they obtain basic or general secondary education has also increased. This trend tends to reduce the shortage of medium-skilled workforce in the future, but the number of new professionals entering the labour market having vocational training is still insufficient to fully cover the demand.
Although there are significant improvements in the education offer, the impact of the changes is offset by the insufficient number of students. On one hand, it is influenced by demographic trends, on the other hand — by the relatively high proportion of young people who do not complete education at different stages of education. 2/5 of youths still enter the labour market with general secondary or education and basic education, while the demand for such labour force in the labour market will decrease sharply over the next years. It is expected that surplus of labour force with the general secondary or basic education can reach 91 thousand by 2025.
Adult education is very important in the reduction of this labour market imbalance. Although the involvement of the population in adult education is gradually increasing, it is still twice as low as the set target- to reach that 15% of the population aged 25 to 64 are involved in adult education measures by 2020. Also, current supply of adult education does not resolve the large surplus of poorly qualified labour force – the involvement of the population in adult education measures is the lowest among all population groups and slightly exceeds 3%.
Labour market forecasts have been prepared by the Ministry of Economics since 2008 and are based on national economy development and demography scenarios prepared by the Ministry of Economics. Labour market forecasts allow for anticipating future labour market imbalances. They show possible trends in the labour market development and possible risks if the current education system and education supply structure are retained. By identifying problems, solutions for materialization of labour market reforms in the medium term have been prepared for submission for government approval aimed at promoting a stable and balanced economic growth in the country.

'@thekenyamoore you are looking fabulous. Marriage agrees with you, and I am truly happy for you. I normally don't do Instagram, but I ran into your picture, and you have motivated me. Thank you' someone else gushed over her words, also telling her that marriage suits her great.
Speaking of RHOA, we'd love to find out your opinion on what went down during the third part of the reunion.

Who misses the Gypsy bar?
Sound Check sounds wonderfully nostalgic, and I can imagine there will be a fair amount of older people hanging around trying to explain to younger people exactly what they missed out on.
It'll be fun.
Remember the Canberra live music scene over the past 20 years?
Sound Check, the new foyer exhibition at the National Film and Sound Archive in Acton, looks at posters from the period.
The iconic bands, the popular venues and the music festivals … they're all there. Every poster telling a story …
Sound Check is free and runs until 5 January 2014.

Instead of engaging in Contemplative Prayer (which is what I should be doing), I am instead writing a bit about an insight I had earlier.
To counterbalance this grand insight, I ended up cutting myself shaving. I do think this is the whole paradox of reality- we recognize some powerful and great Truth which is then curbed by the distressing and often annoying realities of common life.
Unfortunately, I do spend too much time reading theology online, along with forums and people's opinions on various matters of religion. I've done so less and less as time as progressed, rightly curbing such an atrocious habit, but it does possess me here and again.
Naturally, with my Jungian and mystical leanings to things, I do take it upon myself to Google Jung and Catholicism.
Some article or another popped up one day that, of course, was blasting Jung and the "liberalism" of certain Catholics who seem to think the goal of the Tradition is just to find the "Authentic Self" and apply this to the idea that the universal quest of all religion is to find the "Authentic Self," and there ends the quest.
This is partially correct. However, the issue that many mystics seem to be pressing, and the issue that I discovered when I was age 15, is that there is a point where one transcends the Higher/Authentic Self.
The notion that there may be something beyond the Higher Self, or that the Higher Self could even be lost, is troubling and perplexing to many people who don't understand how we could exist without it. However, there are some technicalities in the context of philosophical and theological definitions as to what the "soul" of a human being is, such that the soul includes body and mind.
Anyway, some of the issues I've seen recently are people's attacking Bernadette Roberts and her particular way of viewing things. They seem to gloss over some points that she makes that are very important while dissecting her with all manner of philosophical attacks that they can, and the whole bit irritates me. I finally gave up reading that particular forum after I made it to the 8th or so page out of 18 pages of Walls of Text Coming After Me.
Given, I did find some of the philosophical points people were making interesting, but I think I can summarize in a better way what Bernadette is attempting to convey:
Instead of our having a ghost or inner spirit that pops out when we die, we have an aspect of the body that is immortal, an aspect of the body that our senses don't normally inform us about. The Holy Eucharist, then, explains this: the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ while the Body and Blood don't seemingly appear.
Now, this concept appeals to me, the idea of an immortal, unseen Body, because to me, it seems NOVEL. Christianity has a huge focus on the Incarnation, on physicality, and on the Sacraments being real and true and actual effective means of our receiving God.
I'm also not suggesting that this particular way of perceiving things should be accepted as dogma. Rather, one should test this and find out for one's self by making the mystic's journey, pure and simple.
There's a bit of contradiction when it comes to people who perceive the Deceased and communicate with entities on the "other side," along with comparisons of various Near Death Experiences. One wonders how these things possibly happen if it's possible that we don't have a thinking/feeling being that persists after the death of the body.
Anyway, moving on to the Insight I had earlier and referring back to the Authentic Self: as I've said, there's been a new shift in my focus to try to stimulate the Third Chakra and to try to really have a sense of liking myself and who I am. The Bishop said something interesting to me prior to my Confirmation in that we have to be the person God created us to be. The problem is that this is variously understood to mean something along the lines of following a particular set of rules, but then in Catholic Christianity, the feel of it, too, is different. There is a specific measure in God's plan that I can and should fulfill, and I have to embrace my individuality to the maximum.
Again, the irony that exists in trying to destroy a sense of identity and how that perpetuated my sense of self and then the embracing of a particular identity seems to erode the ego in a way I can't precisely explain.
My concern has been that seeking my True Self or Ego Center might displace God. In fact, the opposite reality is what I've discovered: being one's true self, finding one's center, and living out that center, is in and of itself an act of worship. To be what God has created one to be IS a prayer, IS worship, and I'm satisfied with that.
I've heard the bit before about searching for God and finding one's self or searching for one's and finding God, which I think kind of illustrates this principle. I go searching for myself, and then I find myself in the Presence of God.
My heart chakra also seems to be able to open more freely now that I've been more wont to embrace the stomach chakra.
Another interesting thing, too, is that I'm able to enjoy my own being, my own company, and have a sense of appreciation for myself. A few times, I've finally felt like an adult somewhere, like there was a Bigger Me somewhere that understood things and could do things that I can't normally do. I compare this to my finally feeling less like a child and more like a teenager; suddenly things that frightened me were more like an adventure of sorts, a fresh start, a new change that I could experience.
But that particular mode of being is something that requires such tremendous focus that I hope it becomes a force of habit after a while. I might well give up if I don't get a second wind sometime soon, as it's pretty difficult on the one hand.
Pax Vobiscum.

Gathering Up the Crumbs by Gunilla Norris
Be careful with the crumbs.
Do not overlook them.
Be careful with the crumbs:
the little chances to love,
the tiny gestures, the morsels
that feed, the minims.
Take care of the crumbs:
a look, a laugh, a smile,
a teardrop, an open hand. Take care
of the crumbs. They are food also.
Do not let them fall.
Gather them. Cherish them.
The little chances to love…these crumbs seem like nothing but they are really everything. Everything in a world that is so hungry…a look, a laugh, a smile, a teardrop, an open hand. If you set your intention to get out of the way, to self-forget, so that God can use you, you can become that portal of pure love. The world is so hungry for it.

Ineko Home
[typography font="Cantarell" size="28″ size_format="px"][typography font="Cantarell" size="30″ size_format="px"] [/typography]
[typography font="Cantarell" size="28″ size_format="px"]The Launch of Ineko Home[/typography]
After months & months of hard work and often disappointment, researching, editing, sourcing materials & creating, Ineko Home was launched on the internet on the evening of Wednesday 26th November 2014. We made a huge announcement on good old Facebook & our love started to grow. We asked our friends to share & care & thats what they did. And thanks to those lovely friends who share we found lots of new one too.
The launch was so exiting & scary at the same time. Ineko Home has a very small but carefully selected range of products, which we have been either creating or collecting all summer. We had spent many rainy days at antique trade fairs & visiting people up & down the country. Behind the scences we've gone back to the drawing board many times but never given up. In fact we have had one of our artworks up on the wall since we began in April 2014 ' Stop waiting for things to happen – go out and make them happen '. So thats what we have done.
[typography font="Cantarell" size="28″ size_format="px"]Who are we at Ineko Home ?[/typography]
The founders of Ineko Home are 3 lifetime friends, all with very different qualities . I am Debi, the design Director for a children's clothing company. I design graphics, both hand drawn , hand painted or created on CAD, along with designing beautiful little girls dresses. I love getting creative, making & experimenting & I have a natural eye for new trends. Ann & I have worked together at the same company for 20 years, however Ann is the Sales Director & brings along quite a different set of skills than I can offer such, as figures, forecasting & banking & many more. Mark is my husband & he is the practical, mechanical leg of the threesome. We like to call him the product developer & his list of things to do is the longest.
[typography font="Cantarell" size="28″ size_format="px"][typography font="Cantarell" size="24″ size_format="px"][typography font="Cantarell" size="28″ size_format="px"]What are we at Ineko Home all about ? [/typography] [/typography][/typography]
We started our ideas with our huge industrial table which we work, eat & play around everyday. We had desperately needed a new table for years since Mark had taken an electric saw to the old table while making something for the house but just could find one that was authentic, style and affordable to our pocket. I we went without It's all been crafted here locally. From the success & admiration of our table, in our home, we began working on a prototype with an imaginative steel company to make us a few more. We have a showroom with all our products but it's mainly so the customer can see their table being made, feel the quality before they part with their hard-earned money. Our table tops are all made from reclaimed wood , which can be selected by the customer before its made here at the showroom. We are proud of our British made table.
The core of our products are either reclaimed, handmade by us or salvaged & resorted. Some special finds are bought just because we love them and we think you will too. Nothing is flat packed, nothing is mass made. There are hundreds of places to shop if you feel comfortable having the same as thousands of other people.
Ineko Home is for you guys who want to be stylish, creative, & unique in your own home. Have something different, be unique. We are open for ideas, to know what you are looking for or even creative people who would like to join us & offer their products too.
[typography font="Cantarell" size="28″ size_format="px"]So one month on …. [/typography]
So we are just about to launch a sale at Ineko home on the 1st of January 2015, hung over or not ! So please do come and have a look around & grab yourself the offer of free delivery on all items & many items on sale !!
[typography font="Cantarell" size="30″ size_format="px"]HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL –
SEE YOU IN 2015[/typography]

Accounting is a popular job for number lovers. With a bachelor's degree in accounting and a license as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), you can spend your days crunching numbers to your heart's delight. Accountants can work for individuals managing their finances or large companies maintaining their books. Accountants also find work with the IRS and for tax-preparing companies.
Financial Mathematician
Even with the recent economic woes, Wall Street is a lucrative place to work, and financial companies have lots of room for number lovers. Financial mathematics, also known as quantitative finance, involves market analysis and analysis of complex financial instruments, such as derivative securities. If you don't want to work as a 'quant' (the nickname for financial mathematicians on Wall Street), your number skills can also get you a career as a stock or commodities trader, or a job working on the foreign exchange.
Interested in probabilities? Consider a career as an actuary, also known as a 'professional fortune teller.' Actuaries calcuate risk and determine the likelihood of a costly event, such as a natural disaster or an accident. These professionals primarily work for insurance companies, though job opportunities are also available with the federal government and management consulting firms. This career also boasts an almost non-existent unemployment rate as well as a salary on the high end of the pay scale.
One of the most satisfying and difficult jobs for a true number-lover is being a mathematician. Those who are passionate about the purity of numbers can pursue a career as a college-level math professor. Some mathematicians primarily perform applied math research. Math overlaps with many practical fields, including computer science, engineering, biology and physics. A Ph.D. is typically required in order to become a mathematician.
Math Teacher
Love working with kids and young adults? Consider sharing your passion for numbers as an elementary or secondary math teacher. Public school teachers will need to meet their state requirements for a teaching license. Math teachers are in demand for K-12 schools, so there's a good chance of finding a job once you're licensed.

One of the most satisfying things we get to feel each week is digging out cool fashion hacks from our celebrity's dressings.
This week, we figured out a totally surprising and unexpected blouse choice to wear with green silk sarees.
Green, the most flattering hue when it comes to expensive silk sarees, are often worn with red, pink, yellow..etc. However, if someone has asked us to try with green over green, we might have raised our brows and wondered.
However, when Deepika wore this interesting combination for the Social media summit event she attended lately, we can't give it a skip.
Seriously, both the shades of green were put together so well, and we immediately noted down this color choice to try in the coming months.
Going back to the actress, Ms.Padukone finished off this look with antique jewelleries and a sleek hairstyle which just ended this saree style with a classic note.
Now check out, how Deepika wore the saree which we are so raving about.
What do you think of the colors here? Would you try?

Hi Gloria,
I hope you don't mind me contacting you, but I read your comment to Lynne about calling her on Sat. to ask about her husband, and I was wondering if you reached her and how they are BOTH doing. I worry about Lynne, she has been going thru so much lately and still finds the time to leave messages on my blog. I'd appreciate hearing how they are.

Each day, Sukha greets children as they arrive at Sunnyland Elementary School. On the day we visited, it was his second birthday, but he is 14 in dog years.
"He really loves kids," says his handler, principal Lynn Heimsoth. "He would choose a kid over an adult any day. After a three-day weekend he is so excited to be back at school."
Throughout the day, students come down to Heimsoth's office to read to Sukha and practice their literacy skills. One student has trained Sukha to read and respond to flashcards with commands including sit, down, beg and crawl. Students also learn leadership by taking on responsibilities such as feeding and brushing him.
"I think it makes kids happier," says student Liza Jane Price. "He helps with feelings."
Sukha is a trained and certified therapy dog through Pet Partners. To be certified, dogs must pass a good citizen test, have a relaxed temperament and complete obedience training. Then, the dog and its handler are evaluated together.
"Sukha provides something that we can't – unconditional love," says Heimsoth. Specifically, Sukha has helped Heimsoth connect with families including those who speak languages other than English, "Having Sukha around puts families on equal footing, and helps them feel comfortable approaching their principal."
On the days when he is outside during recess, children often take turns throwing the ball for him and recess monitors say they encounter less behavioral issues.
He helps redirect students if they are having trouble making good choices or need to calm down. For example, a student may say they want to leave campus. "I can say, 'Sukha needs to get to my office, can you help him get there?'" says Heimsoth. The student inevitably helps return the dog to the principal's office, spends some time petting Sukha and may feel ready to talk.
What about allergies? Heimsoth spoke with the parents of students with allergies, and if those students needs to meet with her they find another place to meet other than her office.
So far, they have received very positive feedback since Sukha joined the Sunnyland team last fall. Happy Birthday, Sukha!

College students enthusiastic about programming can receive an associate of applied science diploma, which is preferred by many employers. We will tackle these challenges by enhancing the amenities of JPython Hugunin1, a Python dialect seamlessly built-in with Java, and SWIG, an interface generator that creates interfaces between scripting languages and systems languages like C or C++.
A key difference between Brand and our proposal lies in our vision that tens of millions of (novice) programmers will probably be growing open source software collectively-Brand appears content with educating limited programming skills to younger kids, for whom computer programming is generally a strategy to train their thoughts in summary thinking.
A nursing degree additionally builds you qualified for getting a job in dialysis facilities; long-time period care facilities and a number of other other company settings similar to dwelling care businesses, insurance coverage corporations and public health departments.
We count on to learn from their experience in teaching Python to novice users, from the straightforward however efficient programming tools they have constructed into the Alice system, and from their proficiency in person testing-essential for each the tutorial and the software we plan to develop.
Our approach to this problem might be to take a look at how traditional programming instruments, similar to editors, debuggers, and sophistication browsers, will be augmented and enhanced by extra superior ways of analyzing, inspecting, and understanding packages.
