Mark1 wedding Decors did the stage decoration for my brother wedding reception event. It was one of the best and was exactly what We are looking for. The best part is it's easy working with them as they easily understand what you are looking for. They took an extra mile when there were some incomplete work in the stage given to them and all looking perfect. All the guests gave good compliments on the stage decoration. I think Mark1 is best wedding decors in Coimbatore.

Julie, thank you so much for the wonderful new ideas that I can implement into my teaching practice. The three workshops that I attended were informative and so much fun! The workshops are a must for all ECE teachers!
Our Fendalton Playcentre tamariki just love music!
Please join us in congratulating Julie Wylie on the honour of being made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM) this year in the Queens Birthday Honours list.Julie "founded the New Zealand Musical Parenting Association 22 years ago. She is the founder of the music programme and senior music specialist at the Champion Centre for children with special needs at Burwood Hospital, Christchurch. She has presented music workshops and papers internationally in China, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Australia, the United Kingdom, Lithuania, Estonia, and Finland. She has received awards for her music leadership and international awards for her music resources. She runs her own music school, Julie Wylie Musical Play, for mothers and young children from babies up to eight years. She is a director for an international online training programme in Musical Play and Play Therapy. In 2006 she was instrumental in developing the Diploma in Early Childhood Music with the Institute of Registered Music Teachers New Zealand. Mrs Wylie has been a member of a number of organisations including the Society of Music Education, the New Zealand Society of Music Therapy, and an examiner for Registered Music Teachers New Zealand."
We recently had Sarah, from Julie Wylie Music come to run a wee music session at my daughter's second birthday party. Zahara beamed from start to finish at the incredibly engaging songs and activities Sarah had them do. All of her wee friend's Mums have since come back to me to tell me it made them realise how much their child loved music. I was moved to see how much my daughter loved her music party, and I loved being able to join in with her. I would thoroughly recommend Sarah to anyone in the future. Thank you, from Us.
Thank you for your wonderful presentation at the IRMTNZ conference Julie. I had so many comments about how inspiring your session was.
Thanks so much for all your knowledge, talent and passion you have shared with our team and children inspiring them to a new level. We are seeing the benefits of musical play on a daily basis. We are fortunate to have you here. Love from the team at the James St. Pre School and Nursery.
The Early Learning Centre staff that we present workshops to, are loving your CDs and they give us wonderful feedback on how much the children love them. All the best for your continued work in the field of Early Childhood music.
Thank you very much to offer a wonderful music workshop for Chinese ECE educators in Auckland. We have learnt so much music teaching ideas for babies, toddlers, over 3 and special needs children. Most importantly, we learnt the ways that how you communicate and interact with children at different age groups in the music activities. I was hoping I could be a professional ECE music teacher like you and help many young children to build their musicality at the beginning of their life.
非常感谢Julie Wylie能为我们奥克兰华人幼教老师带来这场精彩的幼儿早教音乐培训课。在您的课堂上,我们学到了如何与不同年龄组的小朋友交流,并开展音乐活动。作为我个人来讲,我希望我也能成为向您一样的优秀的早教音乐教师。我希望在我的教育职业生涯中,通过我的努力,能帮助更多的小朋友在少儿时期对音乐产生兴趣,并在幼儿园里学习到基础的音乐知识与技能。
Dear Julie.
My name is Xiaolei Gong. I am a student teacher and I attended your music training course in Auckland on Saturday 14th May, I absolutely adore you.
That training helps me gain the knowledge about how wonderful music is, and introduces some ideas on helping and supporting children who have Autism.
I tried the parachute at my mat time with the children, playing the "Up and Down and Around and Around" song track 16 from your CD "MAGICAL MUSICAL PLAY" and they love it!!! I now believe music can help them to calm down.
Hi Julie, I attended your workshop in Auckland on Saturday. Just want to let you know it's awesome and very practical. Thanks. I will definitely try what I learned from you with my pre-schoolers. I hope there are many more workshops to come. As I said to you before, you are truly amazing! To have such passion for what you are doing at your age is just so inspiring! Thanks Julie for an awesome workshop Xo
Yesterday's workshop (The Art of Musical Play : A Summer Workshop) was a stunning time of exploring art and music through play. The day was infused with sheer joy and creativity, a refreshing reminder of the value of expressive play for adults and children alike. Julie Wylie is such an inspiration in her vast knowledge and the beautiful way she shares her love for music and people.
Congratulations dear Julie on 25 years of your music. I feel very privileged along with many, many people who have been blessed by your beautiful music, your knowledge and your big heart. All the best for a happy celebration today. I'm sure you are so proud of your achievements. Sending all my love.
What an amazing achievement Julie!!! We love and endorse your music constantly. You bring so much brilliance and love to children, families and educators. Thank you for your inspiration, music and friendship! Congratulations on your 25 years Celebration.
Great news, I already had some bean bag frogs so I tried out the Bean Bag Frog Song on Monday with great interactive results. So simple and effective. I sang it a-cappella like on the CD breaking it down nice and slow – all the kids and parents were right into it and straight away the kids the kids starting singing along with me. They also decided to make up their own ideas for what the frogs could do. Precious little minds at work…my favourite was balancing your frog on top of your head and now get ready to drop!
Thanks again and I really hope I also get to meet you one day.
Dearest Julie, Today you are celebrating 25 years of Julie Wylie Music in the Christchurch Transitional Cathedral with a Christmas Concert for Early Childhood. Even though we are in Canberra, Australia I want to acknowledge the profound influence your work has had on our work. Every time I go into an early childhood setting there you are on my shoulder as a major mentor, smiling that beaming smile and advocating on behalf of following the child and play-based learning, moment by moment making magical, musical connections. Spending time with you in the Champion Centre some time ago observing your work was a huge privilege. Hearing you articulate the basis of your own philosophy, your own story, your understanding of neuroscience and music, and your passion for music-making has been nothing short of inspiring. We stand on your shoulders to share the gift of music with many other children and their families here in Canberra. Today we honour your enormous contribution and carry your energy in our hearts and into every musical interaction. I hope today many other also acknowledge your enormous contribution in the field of early childhood musical play and music therapy.
Love, Emma & all at Rocking Horse Music, Canberra, Australia xxxxxxxxxxxx
Thank you for this morning's celebration. (25 Years of Julie Wylie Music) I was all choked up when you held the parachute with us!
It was amazing to see so many people we know and your music holding it all together. You are an amazing blessing to our city and our children.
May God richly bless you.
Thank you so much for the amazing workshop you ran. I have heard so much positive feedback from it. I know the educators have been very inspired and motivated form what they gleaned from you. I was so sad to not have been able to make it myself.
Thank you so much Julie.
Yes, Yes, Yes! wise words from a master specialist in the field of early childhood music, Julie Wylie. Head on over to her page for much more inspiration and musical goodness R xx
Thank you Julie for a fun, engaging and inspiring Music workshop. It was fantastic to have you down in Queenstown. All our Educators enjoyed the workshop and have gained and developed their confidence in Music and how to implement it into their daily programmes with their children in their care. We look forward to having you back down here again next year. Many thanks.
Tonight I had the absolute joy of going to one of Julie's musical play workshops. SUCH a privilege to be able to soak up some of this wonderful lady's immense knowledge and experience and to be inspired by her beautiful heart for children and passion for music. For anyone who has or works with children, get along to her next workshop or check out her website.

Delhi hit-and-run: 28-year-old driver of Mercedes car arrested
Sarvesh was taken to the Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital where he was declared brought dead, while Inder, who sustained serious injuries, was admitted to the Ayushman Hospital in Dwarka
The 28-year-old driver of the Mercedes car which allegedly ran over and killed a fruit vendor and injured another near Dwarka's Ganpati Chowk was arrested on Tuesday, police said. Nukul, a resident of Raj Nagar, Palam Colony was behind the wheel of the luxury car when the accident occurred on Sunday night, police said, adding that the vehicle involved in the accident was seized.
According to a senior officer, a Mercedes emblem was found at the spot which prompted the police to procure details of about 4,000 cars of the same marquee from the Road Transport Authority to ascertain the details of the vehicle involved in the accident. Police said an eyewitness and the person who called to inform about the accident too were questioned. As there were no CCTV cameras around the accident spot, the footage from adjacent roads was analysed.
The accident claimed the life of 35-year-old Sarvesh and injured 30-year-old Inder as they were returning home after work from the weekly market. The Dwarka South Police Station received information about the accident around 11.50 pm. Sarvesh was taken to the Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital where he was declared brought dead, while Inder, who sustained serious injuries, was admitted to the Ayushman Hospital in Dwarka.

Apple introduced Apple Pay—a mobile-payments service—during its September 9th keynote. The service will be available starting October in the U.S. for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users and in early 2015 for Apple Watch users.
One of Apple's key achievements is simplicity of design facilitated by an ecosystem of products and services. Apple Pay is yet another example of Apple's ability to bring together multiple stakeholders (merchants, developers and payment solution providers) to achieve a seamless experience for the user. In addition, Apple Pay incurs no charges to merchants, developers, or users.
Getting Started – Adding A Card
Apple Pay is supported by the Visa, MasterCard, and American Express networks for cards issued by American Express, Bank of America, CapitalOne, Chase, Citi, and Wells Fargo with more banks coming soon.
Users can import credit cards from iTunes simply by entering the card's security code. In addition, users can add credit cards by scanning them with their phone's camera. All cards are managed via Passbook. The actual card number is never stored on the phone. Rather, a Device Account Number is created and stored in the Secure Element, a dedicated chip on the phone.
Paying – Retail
To pay at retail locations, simply, place the phone next to a contactless payment terminal (identified by the icon at right) while pressing your finger on Touch ID. The user's payment information is sent to the merchant using Near Field Communication (NFC).
Paying – App
Apple Pay can also be used for the purchase of physical goods and services via an app, though users will continue to use In-App Purchase to buy virtual goods and digital content subscriptions.
Using Apple Pay is easy: simply tap the 'Apple Pay' or 'Buy with Apple Pay' button and the user is presented with what Apple refers to as the "Pay Sheet." From here users can confirm or modify the details of their purchase (e.g. card, billing address, shipping address, shipping method, contact and price). The user then completes payment by pressing a finger on Touch ID.
User Experience
Now that we know what Apple Pay is, and how to use it, let's explore how it improves the payment experience for customers in a manner that leads to increased sales and/or brand affinity.
With any payment experience the goal is reduction of friction, making the entire purchase process—whether a single item purchase or a checkout flow—as easy and simple as possible in order to maximize conversion and reduce cart abandonment.
Let's now discuss the current user experience of popular apps and discover how Apple Pay might improve that experience when added as an alternate payment method.
On the left is a mockup from Apple's newly published Apple Pay Identity Guidelines. On the right is a screenshot of the Uber app.
These screens illustrate basic payment-options screens where a user would add, edit, and remove payment preferences, typically in the form of individual cards.
In the mockup, Apple Pay is presented as a selected option. Since Uber launches with Apple Pay in October, it will be interesting to see if Apple Pay will appear as a default payment option or if users will need to tap "Add Payment" and select Apple Pay to add it to their payment options. I'd recommend an opt-in because a default inclusion could spur user-confusion and backlash. In the payments space, it's important to allow users to actively make their own payment choice and to select which apps have access to which payment methods.
In this case, Apple Pay eliminates the need to add a credit card specifically for Uber (either by entering the card number manually or scanning it with the camera). The ability to select one payment type that pre-populates all of your payment info across the multiple apps on your device will reduce friction and save users a tremendous amount of time. Instead of thinking, "Do I really want to buy this?" while typing in a card number, the user simply selects Apple Pay and completes the transaction with Touch ID.
On the left is a promo screenshot from Apple's website of what the Target app may look like with Apple Pay and on the right is a device screenshot of the Target app displaying the same product.
In this case, Target may be launching a new "express checkout" feature for users of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Customers would presumably click an Express Buy button and then have the option to immediately pay via Apple Pay or add the item to their shopping cart for additional consideration. Target's typical mobile payment flow is a multi-step process that involves:
1) adding an item to the cart
2) viewing the cart
3) checking out
4) entering delivery info and shipping method
5) selecting payment method
6) entering payment info, including billing address
7) reviewing and tapping to complete the order.
With the new flow, these seven steps have been reduced to three:
1) tap to enter express checkout
2) tap Apple Pay button
3) confirm details on pay sheet then confirm and complete the transaction via Touch ID
Apple Pay makes the experience more seamless by relying on stored payment and address data, requiring fewer taps to purchase.
It will be interesting for companies that implement Apple Pay to compare sales of the same item in the same period for users with access to checkout via Apple Pay versus those using the traditional process.
It will also be an interesting metric to determine the number of users who have Apple Pay enabled devices but choose not to use it as a payment method. This can be done by tracking the device type in analytics and comparing to the final payment method across device types. Will users trust Apple as a single entry point for all of their payment data across apps or will they feel more comfortable providing it on a merchant by merchant basis?
Pay Sheet
Here's a look at the pay sheet displayed when Apple Pay is chosen as the payment type. The pay sheet can be setup to display only the fields needed for a transaction. For example, for the Uber app, only Card & Billing, and Contact might display. It's interesting that the user is able to approve a purchase with Apple Pay even when the price isn't final. With Uber the final price isn't determined until the ride is over so in this case Apple Pay is actually authorizing a future transaction for an unknown amount.
From the Pay Sheet, users can select and modify Card & Billing, Shipping, Method, and Contact and then pay with Touch ID—or simply confirm the info visually without making changes and then Pay with Touch ID.
Key Considerations for The Enterprise
If you have an app that accepts payments, consider the following when exploring implementing Apple Pay:
Does my payment solutions provider support Apple Pay?
Apple Pay is currently officially supported by Authorize.net, Chase Paymentech, CyberSource, First Data, Stripe and TSYS. Many of these companies provide SDKs that now include Apple Pay as an option, as well as implementation documentation.
Do I understand the Apple Pay – Human Interface Guidelines and do I have the right resources?
Apple has very specific requirements for how to present Apple Pay as a payment option as well as specific buttons required to invoke the pay sheet. More information can be found at: https://developer.apple.com/apple-pay/
Has the development team obtained a Merchant ID, generated a Certificate Signing Request to obtain a key, and received a payment entitlement certificate from Apple?
All of these tasks can be accomplished via the Apple Developer portal as well as your respective payment provider's dashboard.
Did I plan with my UX/UI team for the Apple Pay experience? Does Apple Pay provide additional shorter payment flow options I can test for better conversion? Am I going to treat Apple Pay as the sole payment option and present the Buy with Apple Pay button or offer it as a payment option amongst many?
Did I ensure my payment flow has both a standard and Apple Pay enabled workflow?
Companies need to provide an alternative workflow for users who do not have iPhone 6 or 6 Plus. How will this flow be setup and how will this affect conversion?
With these considerations in mind your organization can elegantly implement Apple Pay to improve the user's payment experience by reducing friction, resulting in overall increased affinity and sales.
Please feel free to comment with any questions about Apple Pay or mobile payments!

We would like to make you aware of a possible upcoming development.
We are looking into a potential move of site to a new development on the Bristol Road. The plan is for a purpose built building on the site of the old Bournville College and opposite Bournville Gardens. This would be a joint venture with another practice – BG Health (formerly Bunbury Road Surgery and Griffins Brooke Surgery).
There are many reasons we have needed to consider such move. Although our current site has been a working general practice for over a hundred years, there are many difficulties in providing high quality modern health care in such an old building. It may be apparent that we have access difficulties, particularly to the 1st floor consulting rooms, and limited parking. However there are many other challenges we face in keeping the site up to the necessary standards for a general practice. We are working at full capacity with no potential to expand or improve the current site. Furthermore there is an impetus within the NHS for General Practices to work in larger teams and for more services to be moved from hospitals to primary care, something which our current site could not accommodate. A practice of our current size would also not be able to meet the future expectations of evening/weekend openings, and merging with our partners at BG Health would allow this to be feasible.
There are many other advantages we envisage including:
– A high quality building fit for modern general practice
– Improved access and a large dedicated car park
– Significantly increased capacity
– Pharmacy on site (to be confirmed)
– Capacity to accommodate other services (many more rooms and a large health promotion room)
– Improved treatment/minor ops rooms – including changing room
We recognise that there may be some concerns from patients, perhaps most likely due to the location which will be further to travel for some. Unfortunately there is no opportunity to develop our current site and there are no other closer sites that would have been appropriate.
The new development will only be feasible with NHS funding and we are awaiting confirmation on these funding arrangements, while there are ongoing discussions with Bournville Village Trust (the building developer) and BG Health.
If all goes to plan the earliest this could take place is 2020 and we will endeavour to provide further information if plans progress.

"Horse" gets hit in the nuts on Americas Got Talent
So tonight on America's Got Talent, a young man comes out, introduces himself as Horse. His special talent seems to be getting in the nuts without wincing. Not only did his friends kick him the nuts, but he got hit with poles, he broke pole, and for the final part? He had two cinder blocks place on his crotch and broken with a sledge hammer. Think he had a cup on? Nope, the blurry bar across his crotch proved otherwise. Yes is he the only man with the balls of steel? He WAS dubbed the King of the Nut Shot by Howard Stern.

MOON SEXTILE MARS is an inspiration ignition ! We are in a biosphere ; plants, birds, trees, even animals! Wow! What an amazing gift to be alive! This morning our actions can be "natural ones" as if we are a part of a natural biosphere with a seasonal wheel guiding right actions. It's the season of being outside with all the life we are with here!
FULL MOON in Gemini's OPPOSITE: at 8 degrees Sagittarius. Since full moons are oppositions; and this axis is mind-related ; we want to watch getting into oppositional discussions where each mind thinks it's something more real than the whole. One reference point can never make up for the wisdom of the whole field. Together ; all our diverse perspectives are needed for earths current evolutionary mixing pot.
MERCURY enters Sun occupied Gemini, from Taurus; [4:49 pm pdt] earth to air is like a take off.
MOON SQUARE NEPTUNE; [11:26 pm pdt/ 12:26 am mdt/ 1:26 am cdt/ 2:26 am edt] is a cleaning square potentially. We may have "housecleaning to do," and the faithful resistance that can come with it for some people. The house cleaning is many levels deep. Full Moons are natural times to see all that needs cleaning while the Moon wanes this cycle! Especially cleaning the mind!
This late night square sends the Moon into the VOID; for all of tomorrow. (Wednesday is a VOID MOON all day in the full Moon sign of Sagittarius. It's good to "unplug" from "normal reality," to listen to "your version of the divine," and be only natural about what you do. Voids are not good days for being on a clock. They work better in between time in places like caves, rivers, or lake time.
Tomorrow: MERCURY SEXTILES CHIRON in the VOID for communication with our inside ; naturally that is healing.
. . .
This full moons theme can be: Nature is our teacher. We are a natural wonder! May this fullness ripen you to nature's love.

Air Conditioning Maintenance Services: Keeping Costs Down
Particularly in the case of commercial air conditioning, maintenance is a crucial part of ensuring that your staff are comfortable and your electronic equipment is maintained in a stabilised, temperature controlled environment and avoids costly breakdowns.
Regular A.C. maintenance also tackles common problems that lead to equipment failure, such as blocked filters that can reduce air flow and cause the air con unit to freeze and damage other components. A well maintained air conditioning system will keep running costs down and continue running at peak performance.
A.C. Repair, Servicing & Contractual Maintenance
Available as both a one off service and an ongoing, contractual service, our air conditioning maintenance service is simply the best solution to keeping air control in your premises a cost effective solution. Whether or not you've chosen us as your air conditioning installation company, we're here to help every step of the way.
How often should my air conditioning be maintained?
For the average domestic air conditioner, used for cooling during summer months, a yearly maintenance program is usually enough. However, in commercial and industrial settings, where the air con is used to both heat and cool, we strongly recommend a minimum of two visits per year, especially for air con units that operate in mission critical or lighly polluted areas, such as server rooms and workshops. Airborne particles can be a particular issue.
We also offer great deals if you have multiple air conditioners that require servicing. Contact us for further information and a quotation on our air conditioning service and maintenance packages.
We maintain air conditioners in many different business niches, from homes and offices to shops and schools.

Like many a geopolitical "reordering moment", 1989-90 did not live up to its initial promise. At such switching points, competing projects for the post-crisis order bid for supremacy, and those who emerged victorious in this one were dedicated to consolidating central institutional pillars of the status quo. Why, asks historian Mary Elise Sarotte, "did the 'new' world order in fact look very much like the old, despite the momentous changes that had occurred"? Why did the race to recast Germany and Europe yield the present arrangement? There were alternatives on offer: geopolitically, Mikhail Gorbachev's "heroic" internationalist model, with Nato and the Warsaw Pact giving way to pan-European institutions, and, domestically, the blueprints adumbrated by the East German civic groups, with experimental forms of democracy and pluralistic property relations.
Sarotte weaves her diplomatic history from reports on the activities of and exchanges among statesmen, diplomats and civil servants. We follow them as they fly hither and thither to summits, negotiate in golf buggies and exchange lewd jokes over canapes. The documentary base is impressive, but it breaks little new ground. Nevertheless, on one topic, Nato expansion, it does make a valuable contribution.
During the Cold War, an abiding question was whether containing Soviet communism was the reason for Washington to station forces in Europe or merely a pretext to justify their presence (and Nato's existence). As Soviet communism disappeared, the answer revealed itself. Initially, Western leaders including Germany's Helmut Kohl, its Chancellor, and Hans-Dietrich Genscher, its Foreign Minister, along with James Baker, the US Secretary of State, ruled out the eastward extension of Nato. Their assurances - which, with a credulity that he was later to rue, Gorbachev swallowed - cleared the way for Moscow's agreement to "2+4" negotiations (involving the two Germanys plus the four occupying powers) over German unification and Europe's security architecture. But in reality, 2+4 was, in the unadorned words of a Baker aide, "a lever to insert a united Germany in Nato whether the Soviets like it or not". For Bonn and Washington, extending Nato to at least the Oder was the priority. To an aide to President Francois Mitterrand, it appeared that it was "the only issue" that concerned George Bush Sr.
Indissolubly related to the question of Nato, Sarotte shows further, was that of nuclear weapons. Baker, Margaret Thatcher and - emerging from the shadows to whisper in Bush's ear - Richard Nixon all fretted that negotiations with Gorbachev might lead to the denuclearisation of Germany or even of the US military presence in Europe. Referring to the pacific inclinations of German voters, Thatcher advised that the issue be handled shrewdly.
By their militaristic lights, Western leaders were right to be alarmed. In East Berlin, the social-democrat Foreign Minister and the conservative Prime Minister and Minister of Defence were contemplating disturbingly pacific scenarios: that Nato be barred from the East or even from Germany altogether, and that a new pan-European security structure be created with a neutral zone at its core, including a nuclear-free Germany. Another potential threat was posed by the French: Baker feared that they might use the geopolitical breach to build new security institutions around the Commission on Security and Co-operation in Europe, demoting America's status in Europe from that of invited overlord to hired gun.
For Bush it was fortunate, therefore, that the incumbent German Chancellor was so fiercely committed to Nato and able to win over the French President and sideline East Berlin. Yet the outcome, the quick-fix eastward extension of "prefab" Cold War institutions, was problematic. Those structures, conceived in hostility, could not easily be recast to accommodate "the Slavic other". Perpetuating structures fashioned for a divided world risked recreating those same divisions, and this was only exacerbated by the ill-will generated by the broken promises over Nato expansion.
Sarotte is ambivalent on Nato expansion - she observes that it yielded Russian resentment without bringing clear benefits. However, she has little but admiration for Bush, and her book is a veritable encomium to Kohl, who is presented as a bold and tactically savvy leader. My main criticism is that the book neglects entirely to mention the Chancellor's corrupt activities, even though these are of direct relevance to both his courting of Mitterrand and his attempt to persuade his own sceptical electorate to back his Atlanticist neoliberal mode of German unification.
My other criticism is that to judge from its method, Sarotte's book could have been written a century ago: the analysis is framed entirely in terms of strong leaders and chance events. Occasionally some odd digressions are introduced, including, bizarrely, one on the origins and marketing strategies of a well-known chain of sex shops. (One can only hope that this represents an attempt to spice up an otherwise pedestrian diplomatic history rather than a new form of sponsorship.) All in all, this is a thoroughly researched study. Although it has deservedly received plaudits, its praise for Kohl may yet seem rash when the investigations into his illicit activities reach their conclusion.

Hawai'i Agriculture Research Update
Aloha and welcome to our weekly blog sharing insight and offering discussion on topics pertaining to Mealani's Taste of the Hawaiian Range. We welcome and value your input-please post your comments and suggestions for future blogs. Want to contribute a blog? Let us know. Mahalo….Fern Gavelek
Tea Expert Offers Workshop
June brings lots of activity to the Big Isle's Mealani Research Station. Tea specialist and author Jane Pettigrew comes from the U.K. to discuss tea culture, production and do a cupping evaluation 3 p.m. Friday, June 4. The $8 presentation is open to anyone interested in tea manufacture; phone 887-6185 to register. Hawaii Tea Society info.
Grass-Fed Beef
Mealani goes into "breeding mode" during the summer, bringing cows into heat for artificial insemination to ensure a quality, grass-fed herd. In production since 1995, grass-fed beef studies continue with favorable results on taste and texture
New Alternative Crop Study
Started in 2009, Mealani planted a small arboretum of fruit trees to test varieties requiring a "lesser chill" than the temperate-zoned U.S. Mainland. Different types of peach, Surinam and bing-type cherries, plus persimmon are under observation.
New UH Culinary Program
Mealani is inviting UH culinary students and instructors to learn about products under production-especially grass-fed beef. The first field
station visit was in March and future chefs met the individuals involved in raising the cattle and viewed production practices while getting familiar with beef. The visit encourages interaction and fosters understanding between future chefs and food producers.
Next week: we discuss the difference in beef cuts.
Save the Date: Mealani's Taste of the Hawaiian Range is 6-8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 10 at the Hilton Waikoloa Village.

INLINE was born out of a conversation between two friends, Rhys and Matt, who were convinced there was a better, more efficient way to approach building and renovation projects. They were frustrated by the many costs of poor communication, both in time, resources, and ultimately, the compromise in the end product.
Thus INLINE was born, in April 2016. Streamlining the design and build process, and focusing on clear, open and honest communication at every step of the way so there are no surprises. Here's the team that makes it happen.

New York, NY, May 1, 2018 – Gartner announced that it has sold Workforce Surveys & Analytics ("WS&A"), a leading tech-enabled survey and analytics platform providing key insights to support corporate strategic planning and business outcomes, to technology-focused private equity firm ParkerGale Capital. With the financial support of ParkerGale, WS&A will merge with CultureIQ, a provider of a culture management platform and employee survey software.
JEGI (www.jegi.com), the leading independent investment bank for the global media, information, marketing, software and tech-enabled services sectors, headquartered in New York, NY, represented Gartner in this transaction
"This is an exciting combination of two great companies. One with strong, modern technology and one with decades of expertise and intellectual property. WS&A is the recognized industry leader working with some of the largest companies in the world and we are excited to join forces," said CultureIQ CEO Greg Besner, who will be the CEO of the combined business.
CultureIQ was founded by Mr. Besner in 2013 as a software-as-a-service disrupter in the traditional employee culture and engagement survey industry. WS&A came together through Corporate Executive Board's acquisitions of Valtera and Genesee Surveys. ParkerGale, having used CultureIQ's products across its portfolio companies for several years, brought the idea of merging the companies earlier this year and financed the transaction along with CultureIQ's existing investors.
"We think this is exactly what the market is looking for – a high tech and high touch approach to employee engagement," commented Devin Mathews, Partner at ParkerGale. "From our industry research, we know there is a huge market without a clear leader. Companies are updating the old ways of surveying employees for feedback and are now listening deeply to their employees using technology and fostering engagement through action plans built on decades of benchmarking and best practices. The combination of CultureIQ and WS&A creates the clear leader the industry has been seeking."
The new company will operate under the CultureIQ brand and will be the premiere provider of culture and engagement solutions for companies of all sizes. With strong talent, shared values, and a customer-focused approach, the focus will be to invest in areas of growth, while preserving the best of both organizations.
"Combining WS&A's nearly 50 years of deep expertise in the survey and talent analytics space with CultureIQ's innovative platform is an exciting proposition for our team and will allow us to bring even greater value to our clients," added Karen Barbera, Head of Delivery at WS&A.

Mermaid tail and fin products have increased in popularity in Australia. Safety concerns relating to the use of mermaid tail products were heightened following the viral video which showed a young girl struggling to swim to the surface of her home swimming pool while wearing a mermaid tail. With such a strong global response to their appearance on the market and confusion around their safety for children, there was a real need to quantify the influence mermaid tail and monofin products may have on safety and swimming ability, to provide evidence-based recommendations for consumers.
This study found that they can significantly reduce children's swimming ability and caution should be taken by parents when allowing children to use these products. Minimum age and actual swimming ability requirements (not those perceived by the child and/or parent) for use should be promoted to improve safety. In addition, these products should only be used in controlled aquatic environments with close adult supervision.

Uses Of Knowledge Or Knowledge is Power
|Essay Writing about Uses Of Knowledge Or Knowledge is Power By Alifye
Knowledge means seek information from someone or something else.It is knowledge that makes the man "The crown of the creation." It is the knowledge again that man has been given a greater status than the angels. All the progress in the world is mainly due to knowledge. Our beloved Holly Prophet, Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) said. "Seek knowledge weather you have to go to China." He (PBUH) also said, "Seek knowledge from cradle to grave."
Knowledge is an imperishable wealth. It does not decrease by sharing but it increase on sharing. No thief can take it away from anyone. Through knowledge, a man can recognize his Creator. Knowledge teaches us to distinguish between the good and the evil. So, Knowledge can make us eternal in this world.

Sumaya Hendricks
MSc in Social business and Microfinance 2016
Programme Coordinator at ASRI Future Leaders
"Doing a Masters degree offers one the opportunity to develop one's mind as the focus is more on thinking critically. I would also advise people to use the opportunity to develop networks, meet people from other cultures and to explore the country."
Sumaya Hendricks
We caught up with GCU graduate Sumaya Hendricks to hear more about her inspiring programme to equip the leaders of tomorrow.
After finishing her degree, Sumaya was approached by a newly formed public policy institute in Johannesburg about coordinating a leadership programme for young people who were interested in the civil society and government sectors.
The program aims to develop young people for the NGO and government sectors and hopes to recruit individuals who are socially and politically active in their communities. In other words, the program seeks to recruit young people who aspire, in different spheres, to create change in South Africa.
In developing these young people, she hopes that their social capital and human capital are developed in a way that not only accelerates their personal growth but which also translates into increased opportunities for them in the future.
She said: "If I had to relate my current work to what I studied, I would say that I am trying to develop social entrepreneurs who will contribute to the betterment of South Africa through their actions and advocacy."
As an international student, Sumaya found comfort in her friendly classmates who made the experience of moving to a new country less daunting. She also credits Prof Simon Teasdale and Dr Michael Roy for boosting her confidence.
"My advice to current and new graduates would be to use the opportunity to develop their ability to think," she said. "With undergraduate studies, the focus is on learning and getting high grades."

I've heard of these things going on all over the place. there have been LJ gatherings all over the country that spring up at random. so I was thinking why not have an official one. like a yearly or monthly thing. it will strengthen communities of users and give people a better sense of belonging here at the LJs. it can provide some free advertising and people involved with a site are more likely to recruit their friends. I have some ideas on how it can be implemented if you guys think its a good idea.

|A CurtainUp Review
Paradise Island
"Leave me alone!"" That whiny plea is a primal scream and leitmotiv running through Benjie Aerenson's new play, Paradise Island, about a mother and daughter love-hate relationship.
Desperate as 32-year-old daughter Terry (Adrienne Shelly) is to be left alone, it turns out that she has a long history of being unable to cope with life, love or her diabetes. Eager as her mother Emma (Lynn Cohen) is for Terri's happiness, she is a compulsive worrier who could use a sensitivity training course. Consequently, her lovingly intended comments tend to turn into poisoned verbal daggers dripping with recriminations and disappointment. Emma drives Terri crazy. Terri returns the favor.
The actors work hard and well together to portray these middle class, middle brow women trying to forget their troubles during a brief vacation at a Bahamas gambling resort named Paradise Island (a name clearly chosen to ironically underscore the less than idyllic lives of its two visitors). Shelley's and Cohen's good acting and the fact that their characters are sympathetically written, however, cannot undo the fact that Benjie Aerenson's script never manages to make them or their getting-away-from-it-all misadventure interesting or eventful.
Characters like Emma and Terri have been much admired in the short fiction of writers like Anne Beattie and Raymond Carver. On stage, at least in this instance, the dialogue peppered with references to favorite TV personalities (Ophra Winfrey is Terri's heroine) only makes the play seem more like a staged made for TV movie than stageworthy.
Mr. Aerenson unreels this troubled and troubling two-hander in eight scenes spanning a single day. The first and last scenes come closest to establishing the potentially powerful situation of a mother whose daughter has and will continue to be a source of more sorrow than joy and the daughter who is too needy and weak to cut the emotional apron strings. Andy Goldberg's direction does little to make everything in between seem like more than one long argumentative conversation moving from one place to another but without going anywhere.
The setting, except for the already mentioned point-counterpoint between the relaxing vacationland and the tense vacationers does little to enliven the proceedings. In fact, while Ron Odorisio has created as many set changes as there are scenes, there is nothing striking or evocative about any of them -- not even the garish ocean blue scrim with Ersatz palm trees.
Paradise Island, for all its lumps and bumps is the product of an authentic empathy for human fallibility. Hopefully, in his next play Mr. Aerenson will make that leap to the next level at which ordinary people become memorable characters.
