Hello, Im Christina, I am a great caregiver because I am compassionate and have a very good amount of patience. I understand what most people are going through and have the ability to be very sympathetic towards each individual and their own unique situation. Everyone needs a little assistance every now and then and helping others in something I take pride in. I treat my clients with much respect and make sure they are happy and comfortable. It makes me feel better about myself knowing that I can help make someone's life a little easier and put a smile on their face.
I have been in the home care for over 5 yrs, have taken care of people from ages newborn to 90s. I took care of my mom for the last year of her life as she had cancer and I did everything for her from cleaning, feeding tubes to shots. I also took care of a man (62) who had Alzheimer's and Parkinson's and changed diapers, took to appointments and did overnights. My other woman was an 89 years old who needed help in dressing and feeding. I am still friends with all my clients and have references. I work through a placement agency which would give me a great reference.
what helps me be a great caregiver is getting to know my client and build an relationship with them I look at all my clients as if they were related to me in some sort of way and I treat them how I would treat my mom,grandma,father grandfather etc..... Wat made me want to become a caregiver is that my parents are getting older and soon won't be able to do a lot of the things they are use to doing so I wanted to get in the health field so I can help them when they need me to help them I will know wat to do for the conditions they will have..... I like waking up in the morning knowing I'm going to care for somebody that need me and trust me with helping them with there everyday routine such as eating bathing and cleaning up there area......
I am a very patient and empathetic person. I have a great respect for seniors, as I view seniors as the mothers and fathers of our community. I have loved being around seniors since my childhood. I feel seniors can impart great wisdom about life through their conversations and experiences that cannot be obtained anywhere else. The thing that gives me the greatest satisfaction about being a caregiver is when I know that I have positively contributed to someone's well-being for a day and they look forward to seeing me tomorrow.
About me I am a certified (PCA)I feel I would be a good asset to the caregiving team professionally because I have 5+yrs experience as a private caregiver & I am a good dedicated trusting hard worker what attracted me to caregiving is that I love working with the elderly give them hope and dreams of continuing life I love to bring smiles to other people faces because tomorrow is not promised to no one what I enjoy most about caregiving is that I get to meet other people I get to bring smiles and happiness and comfortability to others lives to the best of my ability that's a personal well achieved process that makes me proud to be a Caregiver .
I worked with developmentally disabled individuals for 23 years before going back to school to finish a teaching degree. I am looking at retirement from teaching, this July, and would like to return to caring for people again involving home care situations. I am also looking for available opportunities that I can fulfill at this time. I feel my personal achievement is that in my 40's I went back to school and continued caring for people at a different level, such as student needs. I presently teach first grade. My experience in both employment situations had rewards that only one can experience by participating in both environments. Educationally, physically and emotionally I was able to create environments that allowed needs to be met in comfortable atmospheres, while enjoying those I worked with. Also cared for a woman with Alzheimer's disease upon request of the family. I simply enjoy working with all people.
Since 2009 I have been a in home care aide, CNA at several nursing homes and a PCA in the hospital where I drew blood and did daily care for patients. So for over 10 years I've seen and took care of many Elderly people and it is always been a great passion of mine to take care of people who need help being took care of. And I'm actually very good at it I treat everyone as if they were a family member of mine
My passion is taking care of the elderly, I love the conversation that they give I love the things that I learn when I meet different people. I as a young women knows that one day it's gonna be my turn soon, and I'll need some help and I just hope that I find someone as good as I am. I have CPR , First Aid Training, I was a CNA back in 2003 I transitioned to HHA. I have been taking care of Elderly's for over 11yrs
I worked for 1. 5 years in a nursing facility as a certified nursing assistant helping our elderly with all aspects of their activities of daily living. I also worked as a mental health therapy aide at the Buffalo psychiatric center for 10 years and took care of my mom the last year of her life. I am very personable and caring. I treat people the way I would like to be treated. I love the Bills and Sabres and like to do crossword puzzles. One of my biggest assets is my ability to put my self into others shoes.
I am 31 years old and have been a CNA since 2010. I also starting doing home care on top of nursing home care and absolutely love it. I love making people smile and helping them with daily task they need assistance with to make their day go a lot easier and happier. I look at my clients as family. I treat them as i would want my family memeber to be treated.

When Windows 8 finally launches it will be arriving very late to the tablet party. But it looks as though Microsoft is treating the situation as an advantage rather than trying to play catch up. Evidence of this can be seen in its plans for how to offer up sensor functionality at a level beyond what is available for other tablets.
In a post on the Building Windows 8 Blog, Windows Division President Steven Sinofsky has offered up a preview of what's to come in Windows 8 with a focus on tablets. As well as adaptive brightness and automatic screen rotation, there's a real focus on improving upon the sensor system.
What the Windows engineering team have discovered is the typical 6-axis motion sensing offered through the inclusion of a 3D accelerometer and 3D magnetometer has some major flaws. More specifically, they are limited in how accurate and responsive feedback can be in the hands of a user.
With that being the case, Microsoft added a third sensor in the form of a 3D gyro for sensing rotational speed and then started experimenting. By combining the three sensors, what Microsoft refer to as a 9-axis sensor fusion system, it was possible to overcome the shortcomings of each sensor type to provide a much better system.
That improved system means jittery movement is not an issue, tilt-compensation can be taken advantage of, and yaw, pitch, and roll can all be accurately determined. Real-world examples of how the sensor system can used include for compass apps, augmented reality interaction, casual game control, and 3D gaming in general.
Because Microsoft believe this sensor fusion system offers so many advantages, it is attempting to make its use in Windows 8 hardware and apps as easy as possible. With that in mind, Microsoft has created an ecosystem around the sensor fusion system including Windows Certification tests, developed supporting drivers for all Windows 8 devices, and implemented hardware-level processing and filtering to minimize power and processor use.
For developers, an API has been developed and forms part of the new Windows Runtime (WinRT), which should make it easy to access and use the sensor system from a Metro app. And because of the additional accuracy and implementation at a hardware level, it should mean less issues for a developer to work around, meaning shorter development time too.
Any developer wanting to try out the sensor fusion system has two options. They are either lucky enough to have received a Windows 8 Samsung tablet at the Build 2011 conference last year. If not, then St Microelectronics has manufactured the eMotion Development Board that allows access to the sensor system via a USB connection.

Urinary incontinence is often a symptom of other health problems. As such, it can't always be prevented. But, you can take steps to lower your risk of urinary problems by:
- Drinking plenty of fluids each day. Urine should be a pale yellow if you're getting enough fluids.
- Going to the bathroom at set times. Try to do this whether you need to go to the bathroom or not.
- Not putting off trips to the bathroom. Go when you feel the urge.
- Doing Kegel exercises to make the pelvic floor muscles stronger. Women can also do these during pregnancy and after giving birth.
- Getting treated for health problems that contribute to incontinence.
- Lifestyle changes such as:
- Losing excess weight or keeping it in a healthy range. This lowers pressure on the bladder.
- Quitting smoking. Smoking causes coughing, which puts more pressure on the bladder. Quitting will also lower the risk of bladder cancer.
- Taking steps to prevent constipation. Eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Exercising will also help.

A guide to the Normandy Inn's collection of 19th and early 20th century "Ladies Handiwork"
The elegant dining room of the Normandy Inn is the setting for a varied and impressive collection of domestic craft know as " Ladies' Handiwork." According to the book "Collecting American Victorian Antiques:" "The Victorian lady was continually busy with 'art recreations,' the name given to all sorts of Victorian fancywork...including shell work, cone-work,. wax work, leather work, moss work, feather work, hair work and taxidermy." Directions could be obtained in publication such as Godey's Lady's Book dating from the mid-19th century. The examples at the Normandy Inn include decorative and sentimental remembrance collages.
Upon entering the dining room, the wall to the left features an oval frame with a brown-toned design, resembling flowers and pine cones, fashioned of human hair. Directions and patterns for creating such three-dimensional pictures specified the number of strands of hair required. Because hair does not deteriorate, it was well-suited for this type of craft. Carol McD.Wallace, In her book" Victorian Treasures," quotes from an 1860 article in Godey's: "Hair is at once the most delicate and lasting of our materials and survives us like love."
Moving along throughout the Inn, a circular case with a round wreath with a centered cabbage rose design has an image in the form of a moth at its center. An adjacent oval with a gilded band holds a wreath of tiny white and cream-colored wax flowers was a memorial for "our darling Eddie." It is thought to date from the 1800's and bears a Philadelphia label.
The wall to the South features an artful display of more collages, all set in
wooden shadowbox frames. The first is a crescent-shaped wreath of string art
with a centered corsage on a wire armature, with hand-wrapped metal curlings.
Next within a large oval, is a wreath made of artfully-trimmed white chicken feathers. The green leaves are dyed feathers also, trimmed with a pinking shears.
In a large rectangular shadowbox frame is a graceful sheaves of wheat, bound
in a purple bow. This is believed to be a memorial or mourning piece.
A square frame contains a brightly colored wreath of dyed natural cotton and wool yarn.
Above is a circular wreath with a portrait memorial with wax elements. Molds for individual forms could be purchased from which to fashion the graceful flowers.
The large oval to the right features a crescent-shaped wreath comprised of
dyed natural cotton balls. I noted that the leaves were also fashioned of
cotton, combed and splayed.
The guilt & gesso oblong frame contains an oval design of glass beads, hair and crochet. The leaves appear to be fashioned of cut velvet.
In a small oval frame is a hand-woven flower basket, containing a bouquet of colorful exotic feather plumes.
An oval frame contains another crescent design in dyed natural cotton creating multi-colored blossoms and blooms.
The diminutive gilded frame contains a miniature dried flower arrangement in a flower basket.
A large square frame encloses a spectacular, crescent-shaped feather work wreath. I noticed the realistically detailed lilies, fabricated from feathers, and the dyed leaves of cut feathers.
Planking the china closet of the dining room is one silver-toned,
teardrop-shaped hair work wreath in a silver frame featuring flowers with
delicate petals.
To the right of the china closet is a large rectangular shadowbox frame containing a colorful vegetable-dyed natural cotton with a central corsage design. It features coiled tendrils and salmon-pink lilies.
The final selection is a large, crescent-shaped feather work wreath, possibly with a corsage inset at its center, with lacy, chrysanthemum like flowers.
Prepared by Patricia F. Colrick, Preservation & interpretation.
Note: If A pictures speaks a 1000 words I guess a visit to the Normandy Inn is a must, because words can not express the beauty that lies within. Hope you can visit soon! Normandy Inn.com

A new attempt to reinvigorate the blog!
Yes, I am aware that I already have two physics related threads that have started and ended at « Part I » (false vacua and string theory). However, I'm really motivated by the introductory explanations. I promise to come back and finish the other ones real soon. But for a while, I'd like to talk about compactification.
A word about the word…I've had at least two scientist friends laugh when I've said « compactification ». Also, the text editor I'm typing this in thinks its a misspelling. Apparently in all other science fields, the correct word for taking big things and making them small is « compaction ».
Well, we string theorists are just a little bit cooler then you « real scientists. » We're not taking some obsidian and making it smaller (like my roommate, the geologist, and one of the laughers), we're making goddamned extra dimensions smaller…

TIA Symptoms
When people experience a TIA, or transient ischemic attack, symptoms typically appear suddenly. In many cases, multiple symptoms appear at the same time. Signs and symptoms of a TIA are similar to those seen with a stroke and may include confusion, trouble speaking, dizziness, and severe headache with no known cause. The symptoms often go away in less than 30 minutes, but can last for up to 24 hours.
Signs and Symptoms of a TIA: An Overview
A transient ischemic attack (TIA for short) occurs when blood flow to a specific part of the brain is temporarily decreased. Even though a TIA occurs in the unseen reaches of the brain, TIA symptoms can be easy to spot. As a general rule, all the symptoms appear suddenly, and often there is more than one TIA symptom present at the same time. Therefore, a TIA can usually be distinguished from other causes of dizziness or headache.
Specific TIA SymptomsFor a person having a TIA, the symptoms will vary depending on which part of the brain is affected. Examples of specific symptoms include:
- Sudden numbness or weakness of face, arm, hand, or leg, especially on one side of the body
- Sudden confusion
- Trouble speaking or understanding speech
- Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes (such as double vision, blurred vision, or blindness)
- Sudden trouble walking, dizziness or lightheadedness
- Sudden loss of balance or coordination
- Sudden severe headache with no known cause
- Vomiting
- Loss of consciousness
- Spinning sensation (vertigo)
- Sudden collapse
- Seizures (in a small number of cases).
If you suspect you or someone you know is experiencing one or more of these TIA symptoms, do not wait for the symptoms to worsen or improve. Call 911 immediately. It is impossible for you to know whether these are symptoms of a TIA or signs of something more serious, such as a stroke.

Non-antibiotic approaches to control pathogens in the gastrointestinal tract of the broiler chicken
Wilkie, Darryl Clayton
Degree LevelDoctoral
MetadataShow full item record
The purpose of this work was to examine the effectiveness of several replacements for antibiotics in broiler chickens using bacterial challenge models. For this work, pathogen challenge models were developed using three model pathogens; two human pathogens (Salmonella enteritidis and Campylobacter jejuni), and one poultry pathogen (Clostridium perfringens). The first set of experiments involved the selection and use of 2 model probiotics; Bifidobacterium animalis and Lactobacillus fermentum. Oral administration of either probiotic did not significantly reduce (P < 0.05) the level of intestinal colonization by either S. enteritidis or C. jejuni in experimentally infected broiler chickens. The next set of experiments examined the effectiveness of orally administered, pathogen-specific antibodies obtained from hyperimmunizing laying hens in controlling bacterial infections with S. enteritidis, C. jejuni or Clostridium perfringens in broiler chickens. Regardless of the concentration, or mode of administration, anti-S. enteritidis hen-egg antibodies or anti-C. jejuni hen-egg antibodies were unable to significantly reduce (P < 0.05) the intestinal colonization by either pathogen in experimentally infected broiler chickens. Likewise, administration of anti-C. perfringens hen-egg antibodies did not reduce intestinal colonization by C. perfringens, and actually exacerbated the clinical outcome of this important poultry pathogen by significantly increasing (P < 0.05) intestinal lesions scores compared to negative control birds. Lastly, the effect of dietary protein source on intestinal C. perfringens populations was investigated. In broiler chickens experimentally infected with C. perfringens and fed diets which varied in the source of dietary protein, it was shown that birds fed fish meal, meat/bone meal, feather meal and potato protein concentrate had significantly higher intestinal C. perfringens counts than the birds fed corn gluten meal, soy or pea protein concentrates or the control diet (P < 0.05). Further, it was shown that the glycine content of the diets and ileal contents was significantly, positively correlated with C. perfringens numbers in ileum and cecum. It is concluded that although the intervention strategies employed in these studies show promise, diet composition clearly had the largest effect on intestinal bacterial populations. Further studies are required to examine both the impact that diet and these intervention strategies have on the factors which control intestinal colonization by pathogens on a case by case basis.

Re: Objective-C, NSDecimalNumber imports into swift as a Double? not Decimal?memattson Nov 14, 2016 7:53 PM (in response to Brian Doig)
I am new to Swift, so please excuse if I am misinterpreting your post.
Can you post a short example?
Are there specific functions or initialization calls that are not working for you?
I am monkeying with a Swift 3 playground, and don't see a problem using NSDecimalNumber.
With these two lines:
var blarg: NSDecimalNumber = NSDecimalNumber(string: "1.2345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890") print(blarg)
I get the result:
The variable is keeping 40 digits of the original 50 digit number, but this matches what I expected from the documentation.
If I try to assign "blarg" to a variable of type Double, I get the error:
cannot convert value of type 'NSDecimalNumber' to specified type 'Double'
...so it doesn't seem like "NSDecimalNumber is now being forcibly imported as Double".
(Edit: I also put the variable into an Obj-C class, and then read it into a Swift NSDecimalNumber. Same results.)
Re: Objective-C, NSDecimalNumber imports into swift as a Double? not Decimal?OOPer Nov 14, 2016 1:57 PM (in response to Brian Doig)
Please show some code which can reproduce your issue.
Re: Objective-C, NSDecimalNumber imports into swift as a Double? not Decimal?eskimo Nov 15, 2016 2:21 AM (in response to Brian Doig)
Recently Swift 3 changed to import NSNumber to a native number type such as Int or Double.
That's not my experience. In Xcode 8.1 I set up an Objective-C header like this:
@import Foundation; NS_ASSUME_NONNULL_BEGIN @interface Test : NSObject @property (nonatomic, strong, readwrite) NSDecimalNumber * test1; @property (nonatomic, strong, readwrite) NSNumber * test2; @end NS_ASSUME_NONNULL_END
The interface seen by Swift is this:
import Foundation open class Test : NSObject { open var test1: NSDecimalNumber open var test2: NSNumber }
NSDecimalNumber and NSNumber come across as objects.

Triodos Bank's steady growth has created a medium-sized bank requiring an evolving approach to fulfil the potential of the people who work in it. Triodos Bank wants to continue to be one of the world's leading sustainable banks and therefore needs highly qualified people who are aligned with its vision and mission.
To support the development of motivated, able co-workers Triodos Bank offers international programmes in the Triodos Academy; 118 co-workers participated in this in 2014. The 2014 annual Co-Worker Conference took place in Brussels with a theme of "Living Unity & Diversity", and was attended by 120 co-workers.
Weekly meetings are organised in all Triodos Bank's branches to help align co-workers with the business, its goals and challenges. Regular meetings are also organised with customers or thought leaders on topics such as 'agriculture and food', new ways of banking, energy and innovative sustainable projects.
To further support its internal communication, Triodos Bank Spain produces a monthly internal e-zine, while an annual survey is employed to assess co-worker satisfaction. These initiatives help to understand the impact of significant internal projects, in particular.

Here are some examples of how you can build either an online or blended course using the Economics for Life textbooks, supplements and MyEconLab.
MyEconLab Case Study: ECO105Y at the University of Toronto
ECO105Y (course outline) provides intuitive fundamentals for economic literacy without the mathematical details of the major's course ECO100Y. The classroom component of the course is a traditional two-hour lecture, which is supplemented by rich online resources. This case study highlights how ECO105Y students have a convenient online learning environment that provides all course components—announcements, posted lecture notes, discussion boards, MyEconLab Study Plan problems, eText, digital flash cards, and gradebook.
Dynamic Study Modules
If you look beyond the promotional aspects of the video below, you can get a good sense of how Dynamic Study Modules help students begin to learn material before coming to class. Dynamic Study Modules work by continuously assessing student performance and activity, then using data and analytics to provide personalized content in real-time to reinforce concepts that target each student's particular strengths and weaknesses.
Dynamic Study Modules assess students' knowledge more granularly than with simple right or wrong answers. This screen shot examples shows part of a module based on a short video of demand and supply. Students can pick multiple answers, and indicate if they are unsure of an answer or sure. Depending on their answers, the software directs them only to additional content where they need help, while reinforcing their successes.
The market for corn is initially in equilibrium. Suppose that the production of biofuels, which use corn as an input, increases, and at the same time, increases in the price of oil cause farm production costs to rise. Which of the following explains the effect on equilibrium price and quantity in the corn market?
Narrated Dynamic Graphs
The PowerPoint graphs, built from the textbook graphic files, are the basis of the Narrated Dynamic Graphs. For each analytical graph in the textbook, there is a short MP4 video. In a voice-over, I talk through the meaning of the graph, and traces shifts of curves and changes in outcomes. There is a moving cursor directing students' attention to the portion of the graph being discussed in the narration. These MP4 files, which tell the story of each graph, can be viewed online or on a mobile device.
Learning Catalytics Student Response System
- Pose multiple choice or open-ended clicker-type questions to promote interaction and discussion
- Monitor responses to find out where students are struggling
- Use real-time data to adjust presentations during class and try other ways of engaging students
- Manage student interactions by automatically grouping students for discussion, teamwork, and peer-to-peer learning
MyEconLab includes Learning Catalytics—an interactive student response tool that uses students' smartphones, tablets, or laptops.
Questions for the demand-and-supply chapter include:
- Prompt: Electronics manufacturers can either make iPhone chargers or android chargers. If the price of iPhone chargers decreases, what happens to the supply of iPhone chargers?
Answer/Explanation: A change in the price of a good changes the quantity supplied of that good, not the supply.
- Prompt: Assume new research comes out proving definitively that pizza causes heart disease. Draw any changes on the following supply and demand graph.
Answer/Explanation: This is a change in preferences for pizza that would cause demand to decrease. P* would decrease and Q* would decrease.
- Prompt: Now assume that in addition to new research proving pizza causes heart disease, the cost of cheese decreases. Sketch the changes in the market for pizza on the graph below.
Answer/Explanation: Demand decreases due to a change in preferences and supply increases due to a change in the cost of inputs. The combination of these two shifts leads to an unambiguous decrease in price, but an uncertain change in quantity.
In-Class Active Learning Exercise
By moving some content delivery online, class time can be used for more interactive exercises. Here is an exercise based on a SourceFed YouTube video about rising bacon prices caused by a drought that increased the price of pig feed. After demonstrating the textbook once-over shifts of demand and of supply (Figures 4.2 – 4.5), play the video and ask students to analyze the story using a demand and supply graph. Start with just the price and quantity axes on the board. Ask students to identify the market (bacon or pork), and describe what happens starting from an initial equilibrium. Besides the decrease in supply due to an increase in input prices, there is also a segment – analyze separately – about how the show Epic Mealtime may have increased preferences for bacon, increasing demand. I have used this video many times, and it always generates laughs, interest, and lots of discussion. The exercise shows students how they can use the demand and supply model to explain real-world events.
In-Class Experiments
Through MyEconLab, there are market simulation experiments for a single player or multiplayers.

FSFE founder Georg Greve honored
Georg founded the FSFE in 2001 under agreement with FSF president Richard Stallman and successfully built a Pan-European nonprofit. Georg and FSFE's success in embedding free software within European and global political institutions is particularly noteworthy, and this award recognizes his work in promoting Open Standards.
"I'm deeply grateful for the official recognition that Free Software and Open Standards receive with this award", says Georg Greve. "Around 2000, I decided to dedicate myself fully to this cause out of a sense of necessity: I felt that I had glimpsed how software shapes our society. But I also saw that society had not yet understood how much it is shaped by software. It is my hope that this award will help to make people aware of these questions, and bring support for the work of FSFE, which is more important than ever."

Over the past five years, cloud computing has evolved from a potential game-changer to a key element in many organization's IT environments. However, despite increased adoption rates, many organizations are still unclear about cloud computing. In our recent webinar, "Planning for the Cloud," Bill Santos and Mike McCracken of HOSTING Advanced Solutions provide guidance when planning for and assessing your migration to the cloud. Missed it? You can watch the on-demand webinar. Following are some highlights.
Defining the cloud
While "the cloud" has been a buzzy term over the past five years, there is still some confusion about what it really entails. Thanks to the folks at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), we have a list of five key characteristics that make up the cloud.
- The cloud needs to be on-demand or self-service. There is generally a customer portal that you can access to provision their infrastructure and get basic reporting, monitoring and metrics of how it is running.
- It runs on a broad network in which you access your cloud environment via a secure VPN connection. Those cloud centers are connected by many different providers, providing access from just about anywhere around the world.
- It is based on resource pooling where organizations share the same infrastructure. Cloud aggregates a tremendous amount of compute and storage, allocating it to end users as needed.
- It is elastic. The cloud allows you to scale compute and storage resources according to your needs.
- It is consumption-based. Organizations pay for exactly the amount of infrastructure that they use.
Additionally there are four layers within the cloud:
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) – This is an operating system (such as Linux or Windows for example) that an IT team can use in whatever way they want. It includes virtual machines, storage, servers, load balancers, etc.
- Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) – This is a set of development tools that allows you to quickly develop and run applications on an adjunct platform designed to take that code and run it on a production site.
- Software-as-Service (Saas) – This is a software delivery model in which software and associated data are centrally located on the cloud. Examples of SaaS include Salesforce.com and Workday.
- Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) – This is a cloud-based desktop environment that can be accessed from any device, anywhere at any time.
On top of the cloud is a cloud client that you use to interact with these platforms via a web browser, desktop agent or mobile device.
While your IT team may be cloud-savvy, your business units may not have the same knowledge base. For example, your CFO may want a cloud solution access business process around an accounting system while you're interested in an infrastructure-as-a-service. So when promoting cloud to your business units, be sure everyone is working from the same definitions of terms.
Understanding the cloud challenge
There is a common misconception that the cloud is as easy to deploy as it is to consume. Yet according to a recent survey by RightScale, while 94% of organizations surveyed said they are running some sort of cloud application, less than one third of them have a planning process in place. As a result, they may not know how much they are spending on the cloud environment or if they are spending too much. They also don't have the ability to manage the partners they've hired implement a cloud solution. Fortunately, savvy organizations are starting to realize that they need to engage IT in order to effectively source, invest and manage their cloud applications.
Planning your cloud strategy
Investing in a cloud solution can be as easy as swiping a credit card. However, there are three key reasons why you should take the time to plan out your cloud strategy.
- It enables a data—driven decision process. By taking the time to plan your cloud strategy, you can assess your options from a financial perspective and track those assumptions through delivery to see if you're meeting initial expectations.
- It helps you understand your current resource needs and plan for future demands.
- It helps you understand cloud options and related costs, which can help you avoid cloud sprawl.
Short on time or manpower? HOSTING's team of cloud solution architects can help you develop a cloud plan using a streamlined approach.
Step 1 – Discover
This is where you inventory and assess your current IT environment so you know exactly where you're starting from. Look at the workloads inside your data centers, server rooms and within business divisions. Don't overlook your physical servers which can be great low hanging fruit for moving to the cloud. Also look at your virtual environment – are there multiple hypervisors that you can consolidate?
Step 2 – Analyze
This step allows you to learn how efficient your current IT environment is running. In many cases organizations have over-configured their environments, leaving servers running at minimal capacity. This can provide great opportunities for consolidation and migration of workloads.
Also examine your current and future business requirements. Is your organization in acquisition mode, where you need to plan for additional capacity? Or is your organization planning to spin off business units, which could reduce the amount of capacity you need? An experienced cloud service provider can help you map out these scenarios and plan your resource requirements.
Step 3 – Design
This is your opportunity to be creative and look at different cloud hosting options including public, private and hybrid clouds. Consider your security and compliance requirements. Ask yourself if you need a dedicated cloud environment for your data assets that a private cloud offers, or will a public cloud suffice. If the answer is "yes" to both, then a hybrid cloud may be your best option.
Also assess your capacity requirements. This where you can estimate on the conservative side due to the "pay as you go" model offered by the cloud. Take advantage of the monitoring services offered by your cloud provider to track usage over time and right-size accordingly.
Need a game plan for going to the cloud? HOSTING cloud experts can help. Contact us anytime to discuss your specific needs in more detail. We offer two white papers to download that can help you get started on your cloud journey.

|Intrepid Museum, with the space shuttle Enterprise in the centre
I have decided to divide our four New York city days into four separate posts because, well, the four days were all full. Today covers our third NYC day, which was also our second last day in America. It held exciting plans for both of us!
Complementing our trip to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C., we had put the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum on our itinerary for New York. Located by and on the Hudson River in the Hell's Kitchen neighbourhood, the museum focuses on history and science relating to (surprise!) sea, air and space craft.
A large component of the museum is housed within the aircraft carrier Intrepid, which fought in WWII, the Cold War and Vietnam. It is now a National Historic Landmark. You can also visit the space shuttle Enterprise, and tour the submarine Growler.
|One of many small planes on display
The museum was one of Mr Bite's choices but I was happy to visit and the displays were well set out, interactive, and comprehensive. The Intrepid, Enterprise and Growler were also quite amazing to see up closer.
Despite a lot of large-scale displays, I liked that incidental details were covered too. Sometimes they can make the difference between standard and excellent museums. A case in point: details of food consumption on board the Intrepid when fully staffed.
Can you imagine peeling 6,000 potatoes in one day?!
My interest in shopping has waned considerably over the last decade, but if there is anywhere to renew shopping zest, it is New York city. Plus, I had a mission. I wanted to buy new jeans.
My jeans hopes may make you shake your head in disbelief. You see, 6 years ago, on my first NYC trip, I bought two pairs of jeans. They both continue to serve me well, but signs of wear are starting to appear. One pair was bought in Macy's from the DKNY section, and I thought I would buy another pair on this trip. The jeans in question meet all my requirements: comfortable, suitable for casual wear or being a little dressy, dark enough in colour, and just about long enough in length. Crucially, I also like the way they look. I hate buying jeans in Australia as fulfilling these requirements seems near impossible. Plus, Australian jeans prices are about twice as high as American jeans prices, at least with the current exchange rate.
|The jeans I wanted to replace
I figured it would take me 15 minutes to head to the DKNY section of Macy's, find the same make and size as my existing pair, try them on just to check they did fit, and then move on.
It turns out, over a 6-year period, that brands change their jeans styles. I know. I really should have thought of that! I was horrified to discover I had to start from scratch with guessing styles I might like, in a range of brands I'm not very familiar with, in a sizing system I'm not very familiar with.
15 minutes turned into 90 minutes.
|The jeans I got instead
I did, to my relief, eventually find two pairs of jeans. I don't like them quite as much as my prior (still existing) DKNY pair, but I do like them more than anything I've seen or tried in Australia, so I'm calling it a win.
The rest of my shopping trip included Union Square, where I visited the large Barnes and Noble book store, Trader Joe's, and Wholefoods. It was the latter two food stores that provided most of the snacks and chocolate I took home. I also purchased (not from food stores!) the two scarves pictured above, because, well, you can never have too many scarves.
|77.8% of these came from the Trader Joe's and Wholefoods of NYC's Union Square
I think I got home at 7pm, exhausted but happy.
Are you someone who shops when away?
Also, are there some magic jeans I may not have tried that you'd like to recommend to me? Long leg length would be a bonus...

Garden tea parties, brunch time teas and cultural tea ceremonies are just a few events where proper clothing is required. The locale and type of ceremony dictate the protocol, as well as the appropriate outfit. Enjoy dressing in dainty ensembles, while showing respect for your host by donning the proper attire for tea time.
Garden Tea Party
When attending an outdoor tea ceremony, select an outfit with garden-esque colors in mind. Dresses in shades of soft green, yellow, lavender or pink are perfect for complementing the blooming landscape of both formal and informal outdoor settings. If the event requires formal attire, choose an embroidered or printed, floral shift dress or a light colored, form-fitting sheath dress. Accessorize the look with a fabric covered handbag and floral patterned, high-heeled shoes. Since hats are a must, choose a small to medium crown and brim for informal settings and a high crown, wide-brimmed style for formal ceremonies.
Brunch Tea
Leave your jeans and T-shirts at home when dressing for a weekend brunch tea ceremony. Even if the brunch tea is an informal setting at a friend's home or restaurant, avoid low-cut dresses and blouses, as well as high-end cocktail dresses. Wear an A-line dress with lace detailing or an empire waist frock with a contrasting satin ribbon and bow. Neutral colors in cream, as well as medium toned colors such as coral or green, are generally acceptable with matching accessories. Even though you are indoors, wear a low crown hat with a small brim paired with lace gloves and a small clutch bag.
English High Tea
Even if you are not a member of the royal family, you can certainly feel like you are part of the lineage by attending a traditional English-inspired tea. Enjoy wearing frilly chiffon or organza dresses with full skirts and peek-a-boo tulle hems along with a waistband satin sash and large bow. Now is also your chance to sport an eyelet-bordered parasol, a lightweight umbrella for sun protection. Add pearls, white gloves and a wide-brimmed hat to complete your look. You can sport darker colors for a more fashionable high tea ensemble.
Japanese Tea Ceremony
Consider yourself a valued friend if you receive an invitation to a formal Japanese tea ceremony, referred to as Chaji. Historically, guests wore kimonos; today western clothing is acceptable. Wear a long dress with side slits in pastel or muted colors, and pair it with sling-back, high-heeled shoes. As a guest avoid wearing dresses that have distracting patterns, as it may detract from the host or the ceremony itself. Since you will most likely be sitting on the floor and removing your shoes, opt for a long sleeve blouse with an understated neckline and full skirt with kitten-heeled mules.

Daniel Kordan - Russia
1. Daniel, you grew up in a lake region near Moscow, Russia. Please tell us something about your childhood and it`s influence on your photographic work. How did you find your way from studying at the "Institute of Physics and Technology" into the world of art?
Yes, it was amazing time. We lived in a small town close to nature. So I could always go into the wild with friends to camp, build a tree-top house, swim across lakes. I really enjoyed being in the nature. Then I studied arts when I was a kid - in a special arts school. I think it influenced most my life. My parents insisted that I should take a practical work - engineer, programmer etc. But eventually even after studying physics (not to mention it was quantum physics) I returned "back to the basics", to what I enjoyed most: arts and nature, came up together in beautiful synthesis of photography.
2. Taking a look at your pictures feels like being in a world of dreams. It`s a beautiful world consisting of warm colors and perfect moments. Would you describe yourself as a dreamer? How important is the ability of imagination for an artist?
Our planet was given to us to explore it. We are here not to produce money for money, but we are here to feel, listen and explore our beautiful world. When I see first rays of sun, beautiful colors in the sky, they inspire me to move forward. These are simple things that drive me: sunsets and sunrises, walk in mountains, sounds of waterfall and singing of birds in the trees. I just feel happy and in harmony in the nature. And even more happy when I am able to share the beauty of our world with others and inspire them to travel and feel the same.
People need to dream, that makes our world different from machines and think about what really matters in our life. Photography helps people a lot. And feel of it is my source of inspiration.
3. Processing is an important part of your work. How did you find your unique style? And how did you learn to control all those powerful processing tools?
My style developed with years. First, it is the way I see and seek for compositions, second, it is my color representation, the way I see and feel the color. The major part of photography depends on post-processing these days. My workflow is quite special, and different from other photographers. My PS techniques involve luminosity masks, color correction with curves, masking and using layer blending modes. I do not like oversaturated and hdr-like photos with huge amount of "clarity". Instead, I keep the low contrast with high details amount. Thus, I do not have absolute blacks on my photos. I shift blacks towards midtones, maintaining color and details in blacks. It's hard to write about it - that's why I created a comprehensive 11+ hours landscape photography course at DanielKordanTutorials.com
4. The history of art is as old as mankind itself. Especially photographic art changes very quickley today. A significant contribution comes from the internet and social networking. What do you think about the influence of our modern world on photography and art in general?
I love to influence people being into the wild. Some people are stuck in circles of life: work-family-work, and simply forget to enjoy nature themselves. Nature brings peace and joy to your soul and mind. I receive hundreds of messages per day from people who are grateful for inspiring them and widening their horizon. Sometimes they just need a little help, inspiration to make a step out of their cage of circles.
5. You traveled many countries, warm regions as well as colder ones. The diversity of your portfolio is stunning. So it`s obvious to call you a world traveler. Unlike focusing on one area, is traveling something that inspires your work in the best possible way?
I like to explore, but I also love to return in the same places each year. I have several places where I feel like at home. These are: Tuscany, Lofoten islands, Patagonia, Baikal lake, Kamchatka. When you work constantly on one project, you may achieve great results, contribute to the place you love. This is the way your portfolio may form, through a constant work. My main topics are Mountain and Seascape photography. For example, each winter I return to Lofoten islands for seascape and northern lights photography. Sea will never be the same, and even well-known locations can be different in ever-changing dramatic weather, while the sea creates different patterns and textures on the sand.
6. Nowadays photographers often follow their idols and easily travel remote places. Your pictures not only show those popular areas but also some new discoveries. For example your Japan portfolio is particularly unique. How important is traveling fresh regions for your inspiration? Is it difficult to find something unspent?
Photography takes me around the world. It opens new horizons, helps me to make amazing friends all over the world. It is motivation to travel, seek and explore. There are no white spaces left on maps, but there are lots of white spaces left for photography. Due to thousands, millions of photographers there are iconic places - more for posing and "checking in", but there are lots of awesome places left unexplored for photography. Let's say, Greenland or Russia. So many beautiful landscapes, but to tough to organize. I really love challenges! That's why I prefer to travel and plan my trips in a very unique way.
7. There`ve been several awards and publications in your photographic career. What does it mean for you making your work available to the public this way? How important is the internet world for reaching a wider audience?
I am not keen on participating in contests. I understand that it's very important for growing in community, but it's not a main goal for me. My goal is to enjoy the nature and inspire people. So sometimes "marketing" and contests are a burden for me - but it's essential part of showing your works to public. I do not like to challenge and compete - that's not my goal.
8. Which artists have been your biggest source of inspiration?
I love to study classic paintings, like Monet, Rembrandt, Ayvazovsky. Painting are my main source of inspiration. Let's say when I'm in Paris - I can stay for a long time at Orsay gallery just studying color and compositions.
9. Leading workshops is a main part of your photographic life. Please tell us something about your passion for teaching people in remote regions of the world. Do you also enjoy traveling all by yourself from time to time?
I really enjoy teaching people. That feels your life with sense and idea. Even if we have stormy weather we can share knowledge, and I might spend time in a useful way. When I'm alone I actually start missing my groups and good company of photographers. Of course I have only a limited time for myself during workshop, but I love giving my knowledge to other people and making amazing friends from all over the world.
10. Final Question: This project is called "Vision and life". What do the terms "vision" and "life" mean for you, Daniel?
My entire life is dedicated to finding a "vision" - to find and express my photography to other people. It's a visual language that bonds people together and sorting out their priorities in a wonderful way.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! KUDOS to you to my very talented coach and friend!! What wonderful things happen when hard work and tenacity intersect with genuine brilliance and class. Wow!!!!!
Posted on May 9, 2019 by confidentparentsconfidentkids
It is with great pleasure and delight that I announce the very first book from Jennifer S. Miller and this site: Confident Parents, Confident Kids: Raising Emotional Intelligence in Ourselves and Our Kids — From Toddlers to Teenagers.
When I asked fifty parents in a neighborhood Mom's Club the question: "what one issue do you want to read a parenting book about?" – they responded: big feelings – mine and my child's. How do we deal with them and promote confidence and emotional intelligence? So that's precisely what this book is about.
Here are some numbers that tell a bit about the journey I've taken to publishing a book. I've:
Last summer, I entered into a partnership with literary agent Tina Wainscott who took a look at my book proposal and instead of trying to reshape it to fit a pop culture view of what works in publishing, she encouraged me to deeply infuse it with everything that Confident Parents, Confident Kids has always been about. So I've been able to write and fully illustrate the book of my dreams, the one in which I tell the stories of our community, of our dialogue with one another about ways in which we can become more confident in our parenting and raise confident kids with small, simple, everyday practices that are tied to research. These practices promote kids' and parents' social and emotional development and as a result, offer ways to cultivate their inner resources and thrive. Quarto Publishing and the Trade Winds Press team not only loved the content and its potential to help parents but also, loved the illustrations and supported the development of a full-color book!
Thank you, Tina Wainscott, Amanda Waddell, Todd Conly, David Martinell and the whole team at Quarto/Trade Winds Press for making this possible — and doing it collaboratively. I am also especially grateful to my family – extended and immediate – who supported me through this intense process. I am grateful to CASEL and Roger Weissberg for the rigor and research you put into the social and emotional learning framework that is the backbone of this work. I am grateful to partner Shannon Wanless for her heart and mind and passion in collaborating on moving this work forward. I am grateful to the NBC team – Esta, Jamie, and Gabbi – for your rich partnership and expanding my reach! And to the many other CPCK collaborators pictured here, I thank you! And thank you, reader, for your role in making this possible! This book would not exist without your readership and participation in this critical dialogue!
I hope you'll share this great news with anyone you know who is interested in reading about parenting! Here's more on the book:
Confident Parents, Confident Kids lays out an approach for helping parents—and the kids they love—hone their emotional intelligence so that they can make wise choices, connect and communicate well with others (even when patience wears thin), and become socially competent and confident human beings.
Available for Pre-Order on Amazon and Barnes and Noble NOW. The actual release date will be November 5, 2019.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! KUDOS to you to my very talented coach and friend!! What wonderful things happen when hard work and tenacity intersect with genuine brilliance and class. Wow!!!!!
Emily, Can't tell you how much your support means!!!! I so appreciate it! I have learned so much from working with you since you bring so much emotional intelligence and reflective care to your parenting! GREAT to run into you and Katie this morning. A shot of goodness! I so appreciate your friendship! Best, Jennifer
Hallo Jennifer,
Will your book also become available on Amazon.de or amazon.co.uk for pre-order?
Reading your post about your book, I wanted to pre-order it right away. Have been waiting for a book from you forever. But shipment from the US to the Netherlands is not cheap, so I wanted to pre-order like I usually do through the german or ik Amazon site. But I could not find your book on neither.
Thank you for updating me on the above. Sandra Sikma
Sent using the GMX mail app
Sikma, Your message is such a delight! Great, great, great! And yes, it is already up on Amazon UK. I'll provide the link – and I"ll make sure that it's listed on my site too. I appreciate your support! Here's the link:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Confident-Parents-Kids-Emotional-Intelligence/dp/1592339042/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=confident+parents+confident+kids&qid=1557415436&s=gateway&sr=8-1 Best, Jennifer
Congratulations, Jennifer! I am inspired by your courage, honesty and perseverance. I look forward to reading the book in the fall, and sharing it with schools and parent communities. Thank you for all you do to help us be better parents.
Lorea, Oh thank you so much for your generous words! I so admire the work you do with schools and know you make a difference in so many educators' and children's lives! Hoping to catch you at one of the SEL conferences so that we can meet in person — Baltimore or Chicago??? Hoping! Thanks again! Best, Jennifer

Translation: (10 year old boys handwriting... ya gotta love it)
Dear Mom,
If I got Star Wars Battle Front (a PS2 game...) I would some how do better in school they say Star Wars Battle Front is good for your sole.
MasonDo you like the part that says.... "I will do better in school.... if I get the game." Nice try on the ultimatum buddy! Mason has been saving his money to buy a game for a long time. He looks online to find the deals and informs me when he finds exactly what he wants and where it is on sale. I like the concept of him being on top of things... and I must say that he is very persistant about it. He hand delivered the mail to me today and the note was tucked inbetween the envelopes. sly...
What have we become?.... has the gaming world taken over my boys... all of them... look, even Andrew was intense watching...

Places Conquered
Who needs Oktoberfest in Munich when you can party during the ass cold of winter in Syracuse, New York? Cuse: The only place in the US with less sunshine than Binghamton. A town usually known for having a University with great sports programs which developed some of the greatest running backs in college history such as Floyd Little, Heisman winner Ernie Davis, and the NFL Hall of Famer Jim Brown, but this town has another little gem known as Brewfest.
Central New York Brewfest, Feb 2012 – Syracuse Fairgrounds
I was out at the bars when I unexpectedly ran into a childhood friend from the neighborhood who I haven't seen in a few years. He demanded I attend Brewfest the following weekend. I had never before heard of it, and beer is pretty good, so visiting my grandma at the nursing home got postponed. The plan was to first pick up his brother who I can't remember the last time I saw, and then stop in front of my place to give him a NICE surprise as I walk out of my house with a sleeping bag.
…and fall likes to party. Not sure what the hell this sign means. It's one of the many artistic pieces littering the fine city of Cuse.
I am currently writing an adult childrens book entitled 'The Couch Dragon,' so for some reason a ground dragon seemed picture worthy. This statue was down the street from Kitty Hoynes, an irish pub/restaurant we fueled up at before a long evening of drinking. I ordered an Irish classic, the Bangers Beans and Mash, which although tasty I would not recommend due to its high price and small portion. The Reuben sandwich looked like the way to go. An added bonus was the international Fiddle competition taking place one room over. I was waiting for Bilbo Baggins to come out of the bathroom step dancing his way to the bar. Price Point = 3.2 out of 5 Shekels.
Website = http://www.kittyhoynes.com/
We arrive at the infamous Brewfest. As you can see there was a super short line leading to the ticket booth. Price Point = 35 Shekkels.
Your chalice Sir! The picture is incredibly deceiving for this vessel only clocks in at 8floz, and is awarded to you after purchasing a ticket. You are now ready to indulge your senses. Brewfest runs from 6pm-9pm, and you may not think that's enough time until 7:30pm rolls around and some guy is trying to give away his daughters (as seen below) even though they were both already spoken for.
I thanked Super Mario for the proposal and continued to make my rounds. I just realized I have no pictures of the people that came with me to Brewfest. Will work on this kind of thing for future trips. Anyway, as I was dabbling for the 4th time at the Crispin Cider stand, I felt a sudden bump with the intent to party, and when I turned around I saw this magenta painted vixen.
I couldn't help but take out my dancing shoes, and just when I thought one Ellsworth sister was more than enough I felt a second bump…
and next thing I know I'm part of an Ellsworth sister sandwich.
This went on for the better portion of five minutes until I realized this was the local Cuse cougar call. In order to avoid waking up in between these two and without dignity I quickly darted toward the bathroom.
I haven't focused much on the breweries present because to me it was the people that made Brewfest special. Oh, and the homemade mustard at the Ommegang Brewery stand.
Next stop was for Chow @ SYRACUSE SUDS, a Spacious microbrewery in downtown Cuse. Refueling is a necessary step during a Brewfest in order to push on through the night. We all ordered Wings, which I would give a rating of 2.8 out of 5. Not great but did the job. What did knock my socks off was the cheese fries. Wow, I sound like a true grease-ball. I guess sometimes you gotta just own it. Price Point = 3 out of 5 Shekels.

It was finally that time of the night to Get Weird @ Daisy Dukes Cuse Bar.
I quickly found that the women at the bar weren't as accurately portrayed as the flyer suggests. However, that wasn't going to stop a good time. While watching one of my friends embarrass himself as he attempted to ride the mechanical bull in the middle of the bar, a confident young woman approached me with these kind words "Let's do shots!" I replied "Sure." Surprised that for once a woman offered to buy me a shot. She then requested in a flirtatious fashion "We'll have four fruity shots, thanks." I was caught off guard at the audacity and laughed out the word "What?" She then snapped back "Maybe you didn't hear me, but I said we'll take four fruity shots." I said, "Oh you want me to buy you and your friends shots, haha, well I am sorry I don't buy girls shots, and def not ones that look like you gals. High five!" She stared at me blankly; bewildered and certainly not interested in a high five. So to clear up any confusion I said "Maybe you didn't hear me I said high five," still holding my hand up as I walked away.
After a few hours at Dukes we headed back to the hotel more than sufficiently intoxicated.
We decided to stop in at the hotel bar for a night cap, and good thing we did or we wouldnt have run into the Stache of the Trip. This guy was a beauty; Hawaiian button down, dragon t, and what looked like half of the waiters uniforms at Fogo De Chao. The last stop before bed was a slightly regrettable one for some late night Chow @ FRANCO'S PIZZERIA & DELI. Calling themselves a pizzeria is like a stripper calling herself a professional athlete. Benefits include open late and creative slice toppings, and when I say benefit for the latter I mean strictly for ninja turtles. I had a BLT, buffalo chicken, and mystery slice that I think had bubble gum on it. Cowabunga Dude! Give me a break, it was late and I'd been drinking for over 7 hrs. Price Point = 2.5 out of 5 Shekels. If you have a sick sense of humor and a steel stomach the website is below.

All in all Brewfest was awesome, and next year if I am within an hour of Cuse during that time of year I will definitely try my best to make it. Shalom out.
