My name is Terri. I was born in Dublin, Ireland, and came to the United States when I was 27 years of age.
I had a wonderful childhood. I cannot remember anything that was a negative during that time. I don't have a horrific happening in my childhood that could lead to alcoholism. Everything was good. Oh, there were the usual ups and downs that people have, but nothing that could not be dealt with. I had a great social life: drinks after work, dinner in great restaurants, nightclubs at the weekend. I dated a guy for many years in Dublin. He was a real womanizer and I knew it, but I was crazy about him. He asked me to marry him many times, but I always said no because I couldn't see myself in a marriage with someone who loved all women so very much. We split in 1984 and in 1985 I came to Fort Lauderdale with my sister. We came for 3 months to see if we liked it, and I guess we did as we are still here!!!!
We rented a nice apartment near the beach and both got jobs. I always drank a lot, but no more than most of the people I went out with in Dublin. After a few years here I would notice that my sis would say things like "don't drink so fast". I was always one or two ahead of everyone. It was like I couldn't get enough. We drank a lot over the years and I was very lucky that I was never stopped while driving drunk, because I did that a lot in those days.
I got engaged in 1998 and moved in with the guy. Then I really started to drink a lot. No one was saying "don't drink too fast" anymore – he drank just as fast. Things started to go downhill towards the end of 1999 and I then started to drink at lunch time when home. I missed lots of days in work because of my drinking. I moved to an apartment on my own. Now I could drink whatever and whenever I wanted to, and boy did I. I lost a couple of jobs and continued to drink even though I knew drink was the reason. I ended up cutting my wrists one night, but not getting very far. I agreed to go to a rehab facility in West Palm Beach. I stayed 28 days, and didn't learn much. I came home to the same job and lifestyle, the only difference being that I was going to stay sober. I went to AA meetings, but I was not working the program or my sobriety. I wanted to drink, I really enjoyed it. It made me miserable and depressed, but I really enjoyed it!!!! I found the image of drinking to be very romantic. I romanced my drinking so to speak.
I continued to go to meetings each week, and also went to therapy every two weeks. I would drink at the weekend when I was alone. I would plan my evening of drinking, have a movie to watch, snacks etc. I would also plan my hangover, lots of juices and ice cream for the horrible thirst, and Tylenol for the headache. I started to have a lot of anxiety and asked my doctor for clonapin (Xanax) which he gave me. I found that if I took a lot more than he prescribed then my anxiety and shaking would go away. I refilled the prescription a few times but decided to try to order online. I didn't think it would work, but it did. I could order as much as I wanted and always had a back up supply. The pills came from India, Australia and China. Sometimes I would get a notice from customs saying that illegal meds were seized and if I wanted to claim them I had to write to customs. I would just order another supply, they couldn't seize every order!! I now consider myself lucky that they never knocked on my door and took me to jail. Ha, me, a nice Irish Catholic girl in jail – never.
I now started to drink and black out a lot. I would drink a couple of bottles of wine alone at home and then go out somewhere and drink more. I was driving and drinking a lot at this stage. I was wakening up with men I didn't like the look of, and didn't remember asking home the night before. That was so depressing that I would drink the next day to get the images out of my mind, but I would end up doing the same thing that night too. The shame I felt was horrendous, I couldn't have hated myself more. Many nights when I drank I would go for a walk around my complex. Sometime during the walk I would fall. I was always falling now when I drank, but that was ok because no one saw me falling. I slit my nose open, my knees were a mess, my elbows were bruised and my legs were in an awful state from falling. I was falling in my own home and not remembering the next day until I felt the pain somewhere. I had a lot of cuts and bruises, shame and guilt. I once stabbed my finger with a knife while trying to clean out candle wax from a votive, the knife went straight through my finger, of course I was drunk again. I also broke my shoulder in a fall. I was taking so many pills at this stage that I was very much "out of it". I came home from work and went straight to bed each day. I would look at myself in the mirror and actually say "oh, you are going down hill fast". I hated myself. I looked dreadful, felt dreadful, I just wanted to die. This went on for a long time. One night while I was out drinking on my own I was stopped by police and taken off to jail. The cop video taped the sobriety test he gave me, boy was I bad. I kept this video tape and watch it every year on my anniversary to remind me of how bad drinking was for me. I spent the night and the next day in jail. I had taken so many pills that day that I don't think my time in jail affected me too much. I was horrified of course, and did what I always did – went home to bed when they released me. My sister organized a lawyer and paid all the fines etc. She went through hell during all of this time because of my continuous drinking.
Now I had driving school and court to deal with and knew I could never do that. I now got more depressed, if that was possible. I continued to drink and take as many pills as I could so that the thoughts of what I was doing was just a fog. My sister actually refers to this time as my "Felias Fog" time. I was in a constant fog, couldn't remember anything I had done even 20 minutes ago. On June 3rd 2006 I drank 4 bottles of wine and took every single pill I had in my home. This included a months supply of Lithium, (I'm not bipolar so I do not know why this was prescribed), over 180 clonapin and a variety of other meds which I had.
I was sure I would not wake up the next day. I didn't want to die. When sober I would never, ever attempt suicide. It is against my religion, and I also believe it is the most selfish way to escape out of any situation. But drunk I could believe and do anything to make myself feel better.
My sister came round the next day, June 5th and she took me to the Watershed in Boynton Beach. I checked in and don't remember a thing of the next 4 to 5 days. I was somewhat unconscious and was kept in my room in bed. I couldn't eat or drink. The staff did not think that I would survive this as my kidneys were shutting down. My family was told this and they did not expect me to live. I did however, I woke up on the 5th day and I was put in a wheelchair and brought down to the land of the living drunks and addicts. I hated being there, but looking back I can see how much I learned and actually took in. The psychiatrist told me that a horse would not have survived the overdose I took. I was in terrible pain, withdrawal pain. I wanted to curl up and die it was so bad. But I made a decision: I would go through this just once and try to come out well on the other side.
Therapy at the Watershed was something that really taught me a lot about myself. We did many exercises in self examination and a lot pertaining to the family. Some days I just couldn't get out of bed, so I would work on my writing. I wrote letters to family members, some of whom were dead, but these letters were to heal me, not them. There were many speakers who really brought home the message of "living in sobriety", and "having fun in sobriety", (something I never thought I would have again without drink).
I had a lot of time to think while there. I had wasted many years of my life with drink and pills. I saw women there who had lost their children and husbands because of addictions. I learned that addiction truly is a disease and not just a kind of bad behavior. I learned how to deal with all of the shame and guilt I had. Family weekend opened my eyes to how much my sister was hurting.
This was just the start of my recovery. The start of my rising up out of the ashes of addiction. I wanted sobriety, and I wanted it bad. I was now willing to do anything in my power to get it. The therapist at the Watershed told me it was achievable, so I set out to achieve it. One thing he said was the most important step was going to a halfway house when I finished my 30 days there. Oh boy, the images that came to my mind when he said "halfway house". I saw lowlifes, junkies, filth etc. I put up a huge fight not to go. My sister said she would not take me into her home and that I could not go to my own home unless I did this. Anxiety set in big time. I was so upset – I was really afraid of the unknown. I said I would go, I knew it was the right thing to do. Some days my legs just wouldn't work because of so much anxiety in my body, but I fought it. It really was a hard battle, but I kept moving forward.
I have to mention one thing about the Watershed – the food is wonderful, that's the truth!
My sister picked me up the day I was leaving and we arrived at the halfway house, an apartment block in Delray Beach. It really was nice, but I just cried and cried because I was so afraid, afraid of everything. I stayed for 3 months, did 90 meetings in 90 days, went to therapy and even had my day in court for my DUI. What saved my sanity at the halfway house was the Catholic church in Delray Beach. They had 24/7 adoration and I took advantage of it. It healed my soul and took away all of the anxiety I had inside. I can never thank God enough for this.
I came home at the end of October 2006. I moved my furniture around in my home so that it was never the same as when I was drinking. My Publix has closed and a new one was opened up just blocks away from me – that was God helping me. I wouldn't have to look at the old wine aisle I used to frequent. I went to my therapist once a week. I went to my AA meetings. I got a new job. I prayed like I had never prayed before. I changed everything from the way it had been and finally came out the other side of alcoholism. I still go to therapy. I have learned so much about myself and others through therapy. I just wish others knew what I know from therapy, it really helps in every aspect of life.
God, and God alone got me where I am today. I handed everything over to Him. I live for today and today only. I pray a lot, I talk to God a lot, I thank Him continuously for what I have. I now read, paint and meditate. I love my own company, something I couldn't stand before. I love "silent" time. I watch EWTN (the Catholic channel) which has wonderful programs of faith and spirituality. I go to adoration when it is available. The peace I feel when I come out of adoration is unbelievable. God is with me , He is in my soul, my heart and my mind. If I don't have God, I don't have sobriety – its that simple. If I do the right thing in every way, every day, God will take care of me, and he does. My spirituality has grown and grown. I am in a most wonderful place. I love God's creations and creatures, something I thank Him for every day. If I wake in the middle of the night for any reason I immediately turn my thoughts to God and just thank Him.
I am exactly where I should be in this world. I have been sober since June 5th 2006.
I hope everyone who starts this journey of recovery finds the peace and spirituality that I have found. It is a wonderful journey and the gifts received during it are amazing.

A 59-year-old Upland man convicted on multiple charges in the yearslong sex abuse of a male relative starting when he was just 3 years old was sentenced to at least 106 years in state prison, the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office announced Monday.
Mario Hernandez was convicted in June of three counts of sodomy with a child 10 or younger, one count of oral copulation with a child 10 or younger, and one count of continuous sexual abuse of a child, according to a DA's news release.
Hernandez and his wife were the victim's legal guardian.
The molestation began once the little boy was placed at their home as a toddler, prosecutors said.
Hernandez got the boy to submit to the sex acts by withholding food and privileges, telling the little boy, "You owe me," according to Deputy DA Karen Schmauss, who prosecuted the case.
"He would also refuse to sign the boy's school planner if he did not cooperate," Schmauss said. "As the victim grew older, Hernandez threatened harm to the boy and his brother if they told anyone."
The repeated sexual abuse continued until the victim was 10, when he disclosed it to his school friends.
"The crimes showed a high degree of cruelty, viciousness and callousness," said Judge Stanford Reichert, who presided over the trial and gave Hernandez the maximum possible sentence — 106 years to life in state prison — under the law.
The sentencing occurred Friday.
"This defendant will never again hurt a child," Schmauss said.
She added that the little boy is now in the care of his father and stepmother and "is doing well."

As the year winds down, many Americans will take some time off from work. For those who struggle to take the vacation hours they're due, the winter holidays provide an ironclad excuse. Yet, despite good intentions, many of us will spend these "vacations" frustratingly suspended between work and play. Emails proliferate, sent by clients and colleagues who aren't on hiatus. "Quick" conference calls last all morning. Meanwhile, the dejected and irritated faces of children and partners convey what we already know: This is no vacation.
After a few days of existential limbo, we'll return to work no more rested than when we left.
Happy New Year!
In this hyper-connected age of smartphones, Twitter feeds, Facebook and more, how do we take the vacation we so desperately need?
Cut the cord
The modern puzzle about vacations isn't whether or not they're a good thing. At some point or another we've experienced the positive results of a short break away from work: better mood, higher productivity, and increased creativity. A quick Google search reveals countless scientific studies highlighting the emotional and physical benefits of taking a vacation. Rather, the dilemma many of us face these days is how to safeguard this time so it truly is restorative. It's not, should I? but, how do I?
Technology is the number one reason vacations don't feel like vacations anymore. Whether out of perceived necessity or habit, we're loath to give up the daily drip of internet-enabled information and entertainment that's become woven into our professional and personal lives. Unsurprisingly, experts across the board advise leaving your smartphone behind when you head off on vacation. Another vacation killer? That urge to document every moment of your time off on Facebook and Instagram. Tuning into those addictive apps, with their steady stream of other people's news and experiences, makes it nearly impossible to be in the moment with your own.
Tuning into those addictive apps [Facebook and Instagram], with their steady stream of other people's news and experiences, makes it nearly impossible to be in the moment with your own.
Plan ahead to play
The prospect of an exploding inbox can cause intense pre-vacation jitters. With the right approach, you can withstand the onslaught of a few days of unanswered mail. Do turn on your "Out of Office" automated reply so clients and colleagues know that you're away. In that message, let people know where you stand on reviewing emails. Consider letting them know that if you're not in the "to" field, you may not read it. Suggest a date after which they should resend the email if they really need you to see it.
Graham David Hughes traveled to every single country in the world without ever getting on a plane. Listen on as he provides some fascinating insights into cultural norms and peculiarities from his many adventures around the globe.
If you want to take email emancipation one step further, set up a vacation-only email address. Personal email can be just as detrimental to your attempts to unwind. Messages about a missing neighborhood cat will kill the mood sitting in a café in Paris. What's the point? You can't do anything about that cat from your view of the Eiffel Tower.
The website Careercast.com offers 10 steps toward ensuring a restorative vacation, everything from "Plan Ahead" and "Delegate Major Projects" to "Leave Emergency Contact Information" and, importantly, "Trust Your Coworkers." This last one illuminates a key to taking restful vacations that most of us probably don't fully utilize. Coworkers have the potential to make or break our vacations depending on how empowered they feel to step in while we're away. Grant them ownership of important projects and trust them to do a great job. You'll likely receive fewer emergency texts while you're away.
For some people, unplugging completely isn't practical, either because of the type of work they do or the situation they're leaving behind. But most of us are more expendable than we think. If you truly want to take a vacation where real life intrudes as infrequently as possible, you need to be proactive. Before you leave, decide how much unplugging is possible and how you'll do it.
If you truly want to take a vacation where real life intrudes as infrequently as possible, you need to be proactive.
The following questions from the Harvard Business Review encourage a kind of pre-vacation connectivity audit:
What's the least amount of connectivity I can get away with? Be honest. It's probably possible to unplug more completely than you realize. Work martyrs, I'm looking at you. Believe in the value of taking a real vacation. You've earned it.
What do I still want to use technology for while I'm away? At a minimum, if you're traveling away from home you may need to get directions, download maps, make plans with local friends and keep in touch with family members. Get a cheap phone (a "burner" for you fans of The Wire) and use it only for the trip.
Which accounts will I disconnect from? You can do it. You can weed out the array of apps, emails, and online news feeds you review. Who knows, within a few days you might find you don't even miss them.
What do I and my fellow travelers expect from one another? This can be tough, especially if you and your partner don't see eye-to-eye on unplugging. Agree ahead of time to some ground rules and be realistic about what your loved one can live up to.
Vacation better; be better
Difficult as it is, all of this preparing to not be available is necessary if you want to take a vacation that really feels like one. Lee Caraher, President of the marketing firm Double Forte and author of Millennials & Management, counsels her employees to "prepare ahead of time for the world and the work to go on without you." Her best strategy for ensuring she can take time off without worrying what's happening back in the office? "Set up a new messaging app for your team to use only in an emergency. Check the app once in the morning and once at night. No message indicator, no issue." And, if all else fails? "Schedule time off in places with terrible wireless/cell phone reception."
At the end of the day, this isn't rocket science, people. Take a vacation already and take one that counts. Plan ahead, make smart choices about technology, and lean on your coworkers to carry your projects forward. You'll be a much better you when you return.

22 Creative American Surreal Paintings by Kevin Sloan - Magical Realism
25 Feb 2018
Realism Painting
Surrealism was on of the biggest art movements which took place in France in the early 1920's. It's pure thoughts of the human mind or rather the innermost creativity of the human brain. Surreal paintings allow the artists to explore the realism in their subjective minds. Kevin Sloan is one of our favorite realism painting artist, his surreal paintings are humorous, since he uses real life objects portrayed in a certain way, which definitely tickles our funny bones. Kevin Sloan mostly uses animals and birds in his surreal art and the characters do the most unimaginable things...

One of the reasons many people find meditation to be confusing or challenging is because they don't have a clear idea of what they are doing. If you don't know what you are aiming for then how are you supposed to improve on it?
Let's look at a basic way for learning a skill:
1) aim for something
2) try your best
3) notice how you did
4) recalibrate to what you are aiming for with your new understanding
5) repeat steps 2-4.
To a large degree, this process is meditation. The word meditation's root meaning is "having consideration" and "taking appropriate measures." But if that is meditation then why do some meditators wear robes and shave their heads and live in temples? There are some classic values that people want to develop through meditation and there are traditions that have been cultivated for doing so. I'm going to talk about three types of meditation and will refer to them as memory, devotion, and discernment.
Buddhism talks about attachment, or in other words compulsive or addictive behaviour. One reason things keep cycling as compulsions is due to our body's memory. Our bodies remember all our experiences and even our ancestor's experiences through the genetics they have given us. That memory runs like programming causing us to function however we do. Say you always eat the same breakfast at the same time in the same place, if you would be uncomfortable to do it any other way then that is a form of compulsion that you are accustomed to. A very simple way to reprogram this is to step outside your likes and dislikes. If you can be fully devoted to what you are doing regardless of whether it is something you like or dislike and whether it is important to you or meaningless, then you are moving beyond your compulsions and moving toward freedom.
Some aspects of yoga are designed to move the body in ways to break out of patterns or form more appropriate ones. This involves the idea of reprogramming memory. Your posture for example: the way you like to sit in a chair, the way your body supports and transfers its own weight, are all built into you but can be reinforced or reprogrammed. Some people may take this practice to great specificity by finding significance in things such as the amount of hair they have, or the way they hold their fingers. If someone is arriving at these practices because they noticed something and they are getting more in touch with their sense of life then they are meditative. If it is arbitrary activity with no realism or awareness to it, then maybe there is a use but it wouldn't be meditation. This can apply to any activity. If you practice the guitar with great consideration and you take appropriate measures to be able to produce the sounds you want, that is an example of meditation.
If you could sit or stand and simply not do anything, that would be another form of reprogramming. There was a teacher named Tilopa around a thousand years ago that shared 6 words of advice on this subject. They translate to:
1) Let go of what has passed
2) Let go of what may come
3) Let go of what is happening now
4) Don't try to figure anything out
5) Don't try to make anything happen
6) Rest
Following those 6 points would put you in a place where you have no volition. This puts your attention in reality rather than your imagination and also allows you to unwind your programming by letting that energy dissipate rather than continually stirring up new things.
Devotion is the quality of giving yourself to something such as out of love or passion. A skilled athlete or artist devotes themselves to their craft. A successful businessperson devotes themselves to their work. A parent can be devoted to their children. This means they are channelling their emotional energy toward whatever their aim is; their happiness, love, fear, anger or whatever is there, is fuel that is feeding their focus and elevating whatever they are devoted to. By putting their consideration beyond themselves, they develop richness to their emotions, depth to their life experience, and also a sort of functionality from loosening their entanglement with their ego.
Gratitude is one form of devotion. Think about what gratitude means to you and what you honestly feel grateful for. As you involve gratitude in your life more, you may find that your ability to feel it expands and enriches your life. This is a process of getting in touch with the bigger picture by focusing on things other than yourself.
Discernment is about knowing reality. It is about separating truth from untruth. It is about being able to admit what you do know and what you don't know. If you stay honest with yourself about what you do and don't know, your ability to discern reality should improve.
As you explore meditation, you may notice how memory, devotion, and discernment start to seem like the same idea and are hard to separate entirely. As these become the same thing in your experience, you may notice root qualities and find deeper understanding.
Meditation is using a functional process to know life more deeply. If you would like to be meditative, start with considering what your goals are. Your process can evolve but it is useful to know what you are aiming for. If you can find someone qualified who can help you out with whatever direction you are looking to go in, that would be great. If you are feeling disoriented just remember what meditation is: If you are using awareness, using consideration, and taking appropriate measures then you're in it.

Rampaging military destroying lives, property
Consciences have been hardened, defiled by the warring factions. The ruling class is, by and large, hell bent on ensuring that coercive state authority triumphs over good governance, political reality and compromise. "Diaspora separatists" look to have vowed that "their people" will die on their feet rather than live on their knees.
Foreign interests appear not to be very clear yet, where to definitively pitch their tents of corporate greed. Militias are growing by the day, with unemployed radicalized youth eking out a living by kidnapping for ransom and bullying for cash handouts.
Rural populations, especially have melted into the forests, retreating from the regular soldiers who are not only burning down their homesteads; they are also shooting at unarmed men, women and kids. Most towns of the two English speaking Regions now look like conquered territory. The military are, by and large, calling the shots, especially in the Regional capital of Buea. They seem to be having their way all the way, and beyond what whatever specific tasks have been assigned them by the ruling class.
Armoured personnel carriers drive through the town recklessly, and in wanton disregard for rules of the road. The safety of other individuals using the same road means little or nothing to the soldiers. BIR soldiers especially drive without care and attention, purposely disregarding the safety of other persons or property. Many cars and other automobiles are being bashed in Buea and Kumba. Pedestrians have been wounded, at times fatally through such dastardly acts of military bravado.
Yet, none of the rampaging drivers in military fatigues is known to have ever been cited by the police for driving unsafely on the highway or in crowded municipalities. The apparently lawless men in uniform would not even stop to see if someone was hurt following their reckless driving patterns. Only on one occasion did they bash someone's car on the Likomba hill from Tiko and after driving off for about one kilometre, they made a u-turn back to where they had done their worst and had their bewildered victim kicked and taunted.
A similar case of recklessness was recently recorded in Kumba, during which a military truck reduced a taxicab to twisted metal on the bridge near the Town Green.
Last week at the Molyko neighbourhood of Buea, chief town of the Southwest Region, the BIR soldiers were at it again. Driving at breakneck speed and in total disrespect for traffic rules, their personnel carrier almost killed a newspaper Publisher and the lone occupant in his car. But rather than atone for their crudeness, they rather drove on, wielding their weapons and mocking their traumatized victims and other onlookers.
From every indication, there isn't just a breakdown of law and order, with sophisticatedly armed soldiers having a field day unperturbed. Fidgeting, scheming political elite are looking the other way. Consciences, especially those of soldiers whose lives are effectively jeopardized as they fight separatist forces have at best been defiled. Part of the human psyche that induces mental anguish and feelings of guilt is to say the very least, dead in these boys.

Cyncoed's defence of the WPWL League Cup ended at the Quarter-Final stage as they were beaten 5-0 at home by nieghbours Cardiff Met.
A blistering first half from the league leaders saw them go into the break four up. Madison Schupbach had put the visitors ahead on 5', before three goals in seven minutes put Met in command. Rebecca Mathias deflected a Tija Richardson shot into the net for the second, before Richardson trebled the lead three minutes later, heading in a corner from Naomi Clipston.
Clipston was involved in the fourth goal six minutes before half time, her initial shot being parried into the path of Schupbach who tapped in. Clipston rounded things off on the hour mark to give the Archers a resounding win, which keeps their unbeaten start to the season rolling.
Cardiff City needed extra time to overcome Abergavenny. After Danielle Broadhurst had put City in front in the first half, Laura Davies levelled just after the hour mark, and neither side could find a winner in normal time. Broadhurst struck eight minutes into the extra period though to send City through to the last four.
They'll be joined by Rhyl who reach the Semi-Finals for the second season running thanks to their 3-2 win at Llandudno. Two goals from Rachel Nattrass and one from Zoe Stopford saw the Lilywhites through, Mari Gibbard and Kelsey Davies replying for the home side.
Jodie Passmore's penalty eight minutes into second half injury time sealed Swansea's place in the last four as they beat Port Talbot 2-1 at Victoria Road. Sarah Adams had put the visitors in front early on, before Laura May Walkley equalised after the half hour mark. An injury to Stacey John-Davies saw a lengthy delay in the second half, but as extra time loomed Swans won a penalty and Passmore struck to send them through.

Rosalie Ann Coons passed away at her Chesterville home on April 23, 2005. She was 36.
She was the daughter of Shirley Acres and the late Frederick S. Coons. She is survived by her much loved second dad, Bernard Curran, and his daughters Gail (Richard McMillan) of Chesterville, Susan (Paul Bongers) of Kars, Cheryl (Rodney Rudiak) of Baker Lake, and Lynne (James Hume) of Oshawa. She will be sadly missed by her aunts and uncles: Freeman and Carole Acres of Vernon, Frederick Acres of Val Caron, Ross and Sharon Saunders of Niagara Falls, Dorothy McMenomy of Inkerman, Irene Hindley of Guelph, Orval and Ella Morton of Inverary; and their families, and the family of the late Fanny Foster of London.
Visitation took place at the Chesterville Funeral Home on April 25. The funeral service conducted by Rev. Brian Kauk and Kathryn Otley at Holy Trinity Anglican Church on April 26 was centred on a musical theme in keeping with Rosalies main interest.
The casket was piped into and out of the church by cousin Donald Stoodley. Organist Dawn Campbell led the congregation in familiar hymns and was joined by husband Roy in a duet Take up Thy Cross. Beautiful violin and organ selections were offered by Donald J. McPhee and Catherine O. Defreitas. Cousin Kaitlyn Deavy played Amazing Grace on guitar. Readings by cousin Kari Cochrane and good friend Dierdre Bekkers were from Revelation and Corinthians. Cousin Cheryl Deavy shared her memories of Rosalie to complete the service. Rosalie graduated from Chesterville and Maple Ridge Public Schools and from North Dundas District High School as an Ontario Scholar. She obtained her B.A. in Political Science and History at McGill University. After working in the insurance industry in Toronto, she returned to school at York University and was working towards her Chartered Accounting Designation at a Cornwall office when diagnosed with cancer.
Numerous donations were received for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation in her memory. Perhaps more research will soon spare others from the effects of this dreadful disease.
Other donations were gratefully accepted for the Chesterville Anglican Church, the Chesterville United Church, and the Winchester Hospital.
Burial took place at Maple Ridge Cemetery in Chesterville with cousins Rhonda Acres, Helen Saunders, Nancy Acres, Robert McMenomy, Kevin Acres; and good friend Carolyn Edwards, ably acting as pallbearers.

Saxon Hotels acquires Cutlers Hotel in Sheffield
The hotel group, which is owned by former director general of the BBC Greg Dyke, will now operate the George Street hotel and plans to retain all 16 staff currently employed there.
"We will be investing substantially to bring this popular city centre hotel right up to date to meet our guests' expectations," said Dyke.
"It's such a perfect location for business and leisure users alike. I'm confident it will be a successful and long-term contributor to Sheffield's increasingly vibrant urban life."
Cutlers Hotel is a member of the Best Western Group of independently owned hotels and was sold as the principal asset of Meridius Limited, which went into administration on 11 September 2014. Since then it has been run by hospitality agent Convivial Group, employed by the hotel's administrators FRP Advisory to manage its day-to-day running and honour forward bookings.
Strategic fit
The hotel sale was handled by Colliers International, which recieved multiple bids in excess of the asking price. Saxon Hotels, which operates Mosborough Hall, another Best Western Hotel, was considered a 'strategic fit' which offered the 'best long-term solution' for the hotel.
Partner at FRP Advisory Phil Pierce called the sale a 'great result' for the business and its customers and staff.
"Interest in the hotel was widespread and we received competing offers for the business, but in Saxon Hotels we have found an experienced and high-quality local operator offering the best long-term solution for Cutlers Hotel," he said.
Dyke added:"Our business in Sheffield has performed well since we acquired it nearly 10 years ago and has established a good reputation with many local companies and organisations.
"The opportunity to acquire Cutlers Hotel is a perfect fit for us and our existing management team. I am personally delighted we have been successful in this purchase and look forward to building on the strong relationships we have built up over the last decade or so in Sheffield."

The Armidale Pipe Band is celebrating 110 years since its formation. Pipe Major Darrell Fisher shares the highlights and the upcoming special anniversary activities.
What is your role with the band?
My role is Pipe Major, and I am responsible for the music that the band plays. As part of this role, I make decisions about the tunes to be learnt by the band and to be played at musical performances, I organise tutoring sessions for learner pipers, I lead the band practice sessions each week, and I am responsible for the band displays at public performances.
This necessitates close co-ordination with the Drum Corps, led by Drum Sergeant Geoff Walsh. I have been with the band since 2003 and became Pipe Major this year after being in an acting Pipe Major role for several years. I started learning the bagpipes in 1955 in Newcastle and was Pipe Major of the Ettalong Beach Memorial Club Pipe band in the 1980s.
How did the band originate?
This year we are celebrating 110 years since the formation of the band, which began as the Armidale Caledonian Pipers Band in 1901. We are the oldest continuing pipe band in New South Wales. The band was formed by the Armidale Caledonian Society to take part in the Highland Gatherings held each year in Armidale on New Year's Day.
In 1909 the band was renamed the Armidale Highland Pipe Band, becoming independent of the Armidale Caledonian Society. This band went into recess in 1973 and then was reconstituted in 1977 as the Armidale Pipe Band. Between 1986 and 1993 the band did not engage in any formal activities, but since then has had a strong presence both in Armidale and further afield.
Your fondest moments?
In 2004 being invited to attend the Australian Federation Tattoo at Ballarat, Victoria has been a highlight for the band. This entailed a lot of travel by bus, but the experience inspired the band to seek other opportunities.
In 2010 the band played in the ANZAC Day March in Sydney for the first time. While it was a difficult decision to forgo taking part in the traditional Armidale parade, it was felt the Sydney experience would enhance and invigorate the band's future. Although before my time, the band's invitation to play at the Celtic Crossroads Tattoo in Canberra in 2002 is a much talked about event in the band.
Long term members?
Evan Lewis came to our band from the Coogee-Randwick Pipe Band in 1952 and has played with the band continuously since that time. He is a life member and currently the Patron of the band. Geoff Monley has also been in the band since 1952 and has been Pipe Major on various occasions during in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.
He is a life member of our band and, together with Bill Waters, was responsible for the resurgence of the band in 1993. John McIntyre joined the band in 1958 and while now living in Sydney, is still a band member and travels to play with the band whenever possible. John Leslie has been in our band since 1966, coming from Glen Innes Pipe Band.
Jean Ellison, an experienced piper from the Epping Pipe Band, came to our band in 1993 and has held various offices in the band over the years, including President, Secretary and Pipe Major.
How will you mark this anniversary?
The main celebrations will be held during the week commencing 12 September. During that week we will have pipers playing in the Armidale Mall, and we will be dedicating a park bench located in Civic Park North, but the focus will be on a celebration dinner at the Ex-Services Club on Saturday 17 September. The public are welcome to attend the dinner and help us celebrate. Tickets are available from the Ex-Services Club.
On Sunday 18 September a Thanksgiving Church Service will be held at St Paul's Presbyterian Church and a band BBQ lunch will follow at Curtis Park.
How can people join your band?
Our band practices at Armidale High School on Monday evenings from 7pm to 9pm, and new pipers and drummers are welcome. Tutoring can be arranged for learners, and instruments are available for hire. The band is essentially a social, community band, joining in many parades at centres like Glen Innes, Inverell, Tamworth, Grafton and Stanthorpe, but only formally competing once or twice a year.
Please contact the President Beryl Leslie on 6772 0329 or the Secretary Judy Walsh on 6772 7432.

Liverpool fans are excited by the prospect of finally introducing RB Leipzig's star Naby Keita into the Anfield fold at the end of this season, any why wouldn't they be?
The 23-year-old possesses the ability to break defensive lines with his blistering speed and direct running style from deep, while housing the skill to pick the perfect pass to unlock the opposition from afar.
However, the Guinea international also heads to Merseyside with a mean streak; showcased once again on Sunday afternoon by seeing red for the fourth time this season during Die Roten Bullen's 3-0 defeat to Mainz - and given Roy Keane was sent off seven times in his entire Premier League career, that is quite a lot.
Liverpool bound Naby Keita has been sent off for the fourth time this season for RB Leipzig during their 3-0 defeat to Mainz, effectively ending their hopes of Champions League football.— Get German Football News (@GGFN_) April 29, 2018
In a contest where the Champions League hopefuls needed a calm, controlled head in the middle of the park to stand any chance of reaching Europe's elite competition for only the second time in their history, Keita saw fit, in added time, to find his way into the referee's notebook with a second bookable offence.
There is no doubting the player's quality; however, his discipline; something Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp holds in extremely high regard, is almost non-existent.
Keïta's next game of football will be in a Liverpool shirt. 🔥🔥🔥— َ (@SimplyKeita) April 29, 2018
The Reds are indeed crying out for a bit of steel in midfield; someone to take the game by the scruff of the neck when the chips are down.
But the sheer shortsightedness and petulance in the former RB Salzburg man's game will be of a concern to the Anfield managerial team; and so it should be.
Admittedly, Keita is still only 23 and has a lot of development ahead of him. But Klopp is going to have a tough time on his hands during the midfielder's opening few months at the club.

Threat of statelessness for 4 million people in India's Assam; Torture in Russia; Torture in Iraq; Torture in Ethiopia; Brazil's abortion laws are incompatible with its human rights obligations; Kazakhstan shouldn't deport asylum seeker to China
In India's northeastern state of Assam, the potential exclusion of over 4 million people in a citizenship identification process raises concerns over arbitrary detention and possible statelessness without due process.
Last week a scandal brought torture in Russian prisons to the public eye, leading to something extraordinary for the country: a vigorous investigation, suspensions, and arrests for the perpetrators.
Torture is rampant in Iraq's justice system, yet judges are ignoring torture allegations and convicting defendants based on possibly forced confessions.
Since taking office in April, Ethiopia's new prime minister, Abiy Ahmed, has ushered in a promising new era of reform in the country. But he has yet to tackle one of the biggest obstacles to lasting change: the widespread use of torture.
Sayragul Sauytbai dared to speak publicly about China's abusive "political reeducation" camps across Xinjiang. Earlier this year, she fled Xinjiang to Kazakhstan, fearing for her safety. Now she's at risk of being forcibly returned to China, where she would face detention and possible torture.

Until July (Until Her #1) by Aurora Rose Reynolds
Released: April 13, 2015
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Publisher: Aurora Rose Reynolds
Reviewed by Lena
On the Flap
Wes Silver wasn't looking for love, but when July Mayson literally knocks him on his ass during their first encounter, his world is turned upside down by the quirky blonde, and every moment with her makes him more determined to protect her.
July Mayson doesn't understand the pull she feels toward the bad boy biker Wes Silver, but she knows being with him is like nothing she's ever felt before. Now all she has to do is tell her overprotective father, Asher Mayson, that she's found her boom.
I couldn't wait to get my little hands on this book. I am a huge fan of the Until series and could not wait to see how the main characters and their families turned out. I loved July and her motorcycle riding ways. She was a perfect blend of spunky, wild, and down to earth woman who doesn't take crap from anyone. On the other side of the spectrum is Wes. He was definitely the hot former military motorcycle-riding alpha. His calm demeanor was a perfect match for July's crazy ways. The dynamics between the two of them made for some pretty funny moments that had me laughing out loud.
Besides the laughs, this story was filled with suspenseful scenes that will have you holding your breath and hot scenes that will make you melt. In a nutshell, this story had it all. If you are looking for a story that will have you feeling good in the end, Until July is it.

MIIA provides members support for both Medicare Part D and Blue Medicare RX.
Under the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003, you are required by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to notify your Medicare eligible employees and retirees, their spouses and dependents annually of the creditable coverage status of your prescription drug plan (s). To assist you, MIIA has included a SAMPLE Creditable Coverage Disclosure Notice below.
This Notice should be provided to all Medicare eligible individuals covered under your prescription drug coverage. For example, these individuals could be on your active plans in some cases, disabled, on COBRA or retired. To be certain that the Notice reaches spouses and dependents that may be Medicare eligible, the Notice should be sent to all employees and retirees.
Many groups use their open enrollment timeframe to send out the Notice. However, the Notice must be received no later than October 15th each year. It should also be provided by the employer to any Medicare eligible employee and/or retiree, spouse or dependent that is new to a plan or changes plans. It is essential that the employer provide this Notice to plan participants at these times and also upon request. If a plan participant does not have a Notice and then attempts to elect a Part D plan at another time, the participant may be subject to a late enrollment premium penalty.
Please keep copies of the Notice provided on file as a plan participant could request it from the employer at any time.
Many MIIA members that have adopted the Prescription Drug Plan (PDP), Blue Medicare Rx. As a federally regulated product, Blue Medicare Rx, can become a little complicated. With Blue Cross and Blue Shield, we created an online resource to help you navigate this new territory. Click on www.bluecrossma.com/miia to find "Plan Sponsor Guide for Part D" for all groups, sample communication for new and renewing accounts, important contact information and helpful links. Please take a moment to visit the site and certainly provide Monica Smigliani, Chris Bailey or your Account Executive with any feedback.
A MIIA Account Executive can help you determine the best possible coverage for your municipal group.
If you have any questions, please contact Monica Smigliani 1-800-374-4405, x264, Chris Bailey at x268 or your Account Executive.

very beneficial for tracking construction permits for assessing
Likely Extremely
Pros: All Township departments are included, which are necessary for my daily duties as a land use inspector. pertinent information at my finger tips
Cons: updates from assessor MODIV appear to be slow. When ownership information changes, all information pertaining should be completed on the system daily. I am finding permits from other departments when reviewing still have old owner information and not current. Our system updates with Tax Collector overnight. Information appears to be drawn from the county records, and not the assessor MODIV records.
Overall: The benefits assist with my daily duties working for the Assessor

Hi Chris,
Thanks for taking the time to write your review.
Our schedule for updating the assessor data is set by the Township. We've been directed to update it monthly. Should you feel a greater frequency would be beneficial we're happy to look into changing it, at the direction of your "powers that be."
Any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly.
Thanks again,
Overall the software provides a good mechanism to research and review various project permits.
Likely Extremely
Pros: The software allows an easy review of various permitting modules, helping determine what approvals/denials a certain property or project has received. It also informs various Departments of each other's approvals to keep everyone in the loop. Applications are fairly easy to input and review.
Cons: It takes a little time to learn certain functions of the software. Changes to the modules are limited and usually require going through Customer Support which may fix the issue but might alter something else that previously worked thus requiring another change. Formatting is limited and it may take a few iterations to get the desired output.
In my experience, I have been trained on software after the kinks have been worked out of it.
Likely Extremely
Pros: Geo 3.0 representatives are responsive. Hopefully, the software will work out and link departments together.
Cons: Working out the bugs, formatting, and typographical errors. Seems like every time we do a "test run" there are more errors. Also, we do not seem to finish a program review (for example, immunizations, food inspections, complaints, etc.) completely before starting to review a new one. I'd rather have everything in place and get trained on the software.

Hi Ms. Trozzi,
Thanks for taking your time and supplying this review. You offer some good insights, starting with your title.
We appreciate the folks in your department being a part of the "building process" for the Health Department apps. It's very rewarding to have the input of various members of your team, knowing that the end result of what we're building will be exactly what the team needs, wants and that our software will work exactly as you do.
We look forward to having you revisit this review down the road when all is complete and hope that we will earn a higher rating!
Program has potential once all the bugs are worked out.
Likely Extremely
Pros: The functions that are offered are very promising. Some of the programs which have been set up for us are working well, others need improvement.
Cons: There are a lot of bugs and tweaks that still need to be adjusted and fixed. But the program is promising.
Overall: A more centrally organized system which spans different departments.

Hi Ms. Mann,
Thanks for taking your time to write this review.
Developing custom applications has its challenges and we appreciate the guidance and assistance you've shared with us.
We continue to work out the hiccups, eliminate the bugs, all while tailoring the apps to the needs and wants of your department.
We look forward to meeting (and exceeding) your expectations!
Geo3.0 if an easy to use software that helps us simplify our insanely complicated workload
Pros: ease of use, creating and modifying a job. drag and drop features are fantastic. it's simple nature makes it easy to train new users
Cons: how occasionally a second user can log into an edit of a daily schedule and negate any changes made. its a horrible glitch that needs to be resolved

Both Key-Tech and Jungle Lasers are always looking to improve our products and services, looking to add value each step of the way.
We're proud of what we've helped you accomplish and plan on continuing to improve your processes!
Geo is very beneficial!
Likely Extremely
Pros: It makes my job a bit easier. The basics are not too hard to do. Once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to do things automatically. Geo has never frozen on me or acted crazy.
Cons: I wish Geo would eliminate fields when they do not pertain to what your doing. If I have 4 options to choose from and I choose one, the fields that do not pertain to that field should be eliminated.
Overall: Makes my job easier.

Hi Ms. Dominguez,
Thanks for taking your time and writing this review. We appreciate the recognition of our "stability" and know that we do pride ourselves on keeping things running smoothly for you.
As to your "wish" of eliminating unneeded fields, if you'll submit a support ticket we'll be certain to see if we can accommodate what you're looking to accomplish.
Geo3.0 is an excellent program.
Pros: What I love the most is you have everything you need in one program at your fingertips. You can build it for your specific uses which can include multiple windows/tabs. Windows/tabs can also be connected together similar to an excel spreadsheet calculation. It's all about what you want and what you need. Customer Support is awesome. Any issues that have been addressed in a timely manner and completed with no complications.
Cons: The lease thing I like doesn't really have to do with the software it has to do with how you build it. Every aspect should be considered when implanting the Geo3.0 program. Who ever uses the program what their needs are, how they address various issues and concerns. Everything needs to be considered for optimum use of the program once it's built. This will help you avoid support tickets.
It is a great program. Sometimes it is just difficult to navigate.
Likely Extremely
Pros: My favorite feature of GEO is the calendar because it allows a bridge between the building department and the inspectors.
Cons: There are many different "views" which can get confusing. It is also very difficult to figure out how to edit things and have them show up everywhere.

Hi Ms. Ketcham,
Thanks for taking the time to write this review.
We're happy to reduce the number of different "views" you have, just let us know. Some of our customers enjoy the flexibility of being able to look at information in different ways, so although we consider that a feature, we're happy to simplify things for you.
We pride ourselves on the level of support we provide, so please reach out to us so that we can help get you over the rough spots.
Thanks again!
Going from paper reports to electronic forms is a great time saver!
Likely Extremely
Pros: The ability to access the data and reports from anywhere there is an internet connection is great. We have been able to organize all our inspections and permits in one software program. Support is willing to look at any situations we have and attempt to make corrections.
Cons: Conflicts occur with the dates for reinspection as well as dates for inspections in the next cycle. Sometimes it is not easy to find exactly what you are looking for. Eventually you can find what you need.
Overall: Minimize paperwork, previous to moving to this software we were still using all paper forms for all our inspections. This has eliminated the need for many of those forms and has decreased the amount of time it takes to complete an inspection.

Hi Mr. Lewis,
Thanks for taking the time to write such a thorough review.
I'm asking the Development Team to look into Reinspection Dates issue, and someone will let you know what we find.
Likely Extremely
Pros: I HAVE USED THE SOFTWARE FOR TWO YEARS AND LIKE HOW EASY IT IS TO USE THIS SOFTWARE AND JUNGLE LASERS QUICK RESPONSE TIME FOR MY SUPPORT TICKETS
Cons: HOW I CAN CHANGE THE VIEW FOR MY WHOLE DEPARTMENT. FEEL AS THOUGH EVERYONES VIEW SHOULD STAY THE WAY THEY HAVE IT.
Vendor Response

Hi Melissa,
Thanks for taking the time to give the review.
I'll check with the Development Team and see if there's a way to limit the views that can be created. We usually think of the "View" as a feature but what matters is what YOU think, not us!
We'll let you know how we can solve this issue.
At first a somewhat clunky program, but support staff has been great in making suggested changes.
Likely Extremely
Pros: I appreciate the help of the support staff who are quickly responsive to suggested changes, and deliberate in trying to make the program more user-friendly and efficient.
Cons: There's an ongoing issue with the program defaulting to previously-used modules (or displaying an incorrect heading) when more than one tab is open -- which we like to do, so that one tab can be a working module, while the other is accessed for research.
Overall: There's a great benefit in having an easy-to-work-with support team.
I have been very happy with the system overall.
Likely Extremely
Pros: Flexibility and ability to request changes to features that each user can utilize. Also the ability to look at other departments files and active cases.
Cons: Needs a better mobile platform I feel like when utilizing an iPad or similar it feels like typing within a browser.
Needs more Quality Assurance
Likely Extremely
Pros: Can be made to fit many different situations and users. We use the software for dog licensing, complaints, restaurant inspections, immunizations audits, etc.
Cons: Sometimes the process can be a little convoluted. Navigating the user interface can be a little confusing at times and not always very clear.
Overall: Being able to compile data in one place.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the kinds words.
We're always to help, so please don't hesitate to reach out anytime.
Geo3.0 is easy to use and easy to train others on. It perfect for the workplace.
Pros: Again, the ease of use is what I like the most. I work in the Vital Statistics Office and I find that Geo3.0 easily allows me to create files and print them as well as print receipt and keep track of daily revenue.

Awesome customer service software is great
Pros: The software is user friendly and customizable it really is a pleasure to use every day. The ability to use it on my tablet and phone is also a great feature
information at your finger tips. very easy to use and look up information
Likely Extremely
Pros: it is setup so we do not have to work the math separately when figuring out charges per square footage etc.
Cons: up loading/attaching maps or drawings from folder or google maps it is not compatible and gives an error message or does not attach
Overall: one stop shop to process permit applications to various towns and without having to request numerous separate payments.

Hi Chienan,
Thanks for your review. We weren't aware that you were having trouble with the uploads.
Please put in a Support Ticket and we'll have the team take a look at it.
makes doing my reports for inspections easier to do
Likely Extremely
Pros: I like that it is customize-able to work for our organization and is easy to use. I like that multiple people can do the same thing at once and it is all in the same system so others are kept in the loop.
I use it daily and have had a few minor hiccups but they seem to get rectified
Likely Extremely
Pros: Being able to look at history of projects past and present. We can see if there were ever any inspections and if there were then we can identify the dates and the type of inspection
Cons: The tablet that is supplied for mobile use. I have had too many problems with it so I prefer to come back to the desk top and enter my results.
Overall: Project history

Hi Mr. Nelson,
Thanks for taking the time to write the review. There's a new "User Interface" that sizes the info according to the size of browser. Please send in a Support Ticket and we'll have someone walk you through the process of switching to that new interface. Let us know if that improves your experience with the tablet.
the office enters payments and schedules inspections
Pros: Our residents are able to request inspection off our website, the ease of getting on the website while working in other sites
Cons: difficulty with finding where we need to go to post payments, we have a hard time trying to put in payments
Inconsistencies in fields from page to page. Persistent field population. Forced logout past 8 hrs
Cons: 1) Cannot have more than one tab open at the same time without program "jumping" from function to function/section to section. 2) Getting automatically logged out at the end of 8 hours -- JUST as I am trying to finish out a last-minute transaction before we close at 4:00. 3) The inconsistencies in fields between the different sections. 4)The autocomplete function is a mess.
National Geomatica review
Likely Extremely
Pros: Ease of use along with installation of product. Overall a very good Product
Cons: Overall a good product have not had any issues

Extortion in the guise of fundraising
THE EDITOR, Sir:
While the Ministry of Education issued funding guidelines for public schools which should effectively remove auxiliary fees, as they had provided an increase in subventions to schools under the Education Act and Regulations, I would wish to bring to their attention the fact that parents are indeed paying way more during an academic year.
The ministry had asked that school board chairmen guide administrators in the implementation of this policy with regional education officers policing the implementation of the guidelines; however, it is obvious that these persons have fallen asleep on the job, or are they a party to the rampant 'extortion' of parents?
The previous administration's responsible minister once labelling some schools as extortionist is quite befitting of how many are operating at the primary level. Many schools, on a weekly basis, have fundraising ventures where parents are requested to shell out scarce cash to fund these activities. Some administrators even sell the arrangement to parents under the guise that it is for the betterment of the children.
Who is tracking the intake of all funds at these schools? Where does all these funds go? How often are these school finances audited? Is the ministry really on top of these things?

Feature #1459
Feature #1234: Avoid sender-side copy for large contiguous messages. API for charm and converse layers
Zero-copy send support for the netlrts machine layer
In the netlrts machine layer, it's pretty easy to stream data from an arbitrary address to a remote recipient on request. We can use this to implement zero-copy sends for the memory footprint reduction, and to take copying time overhead off the worker threads and onto the comm thread.

- Status changed from New to In Progress
The current netlrts layer (UDP) in machine-eth.c sends a Datagram header with every packet it sends.
For every packet, it creates a header at (char *ptr - DGRAM_HEADER_SIZE) and sends it over. The receiver uses the packet information to assemble packets together.
I am guessing that we're able to use the DGRAM_HEADER_SIZE bytes before the packet ptr because of two reasons:
1. We know that the previous packet has been delivered? (using acks)
2. It is the Charm++ owned copied buffer and free from user intervention and will be freed after the message send.
But, if we're to send a user buffer using this scheme, how do we send a header with every packet? (as we can't touch it to send the header info at a negative offset)
#8 Updated by Phil Miller about 2 years ago
- Tags changed from #rdma to #rdma, #netlrts, #lrts, #machine-layers
We could do the packetization in a set aside buffer that we copy the user's data through as we send it. The key is to tightly constrain the size of that buffer, making it just large enough to get full network bandwidth. If the packet injection is synchronous, then that buffer only needs to hold 1 packet.

Pioneer: Premae's Dr. Clare Anyiam-Osigwe
Dr. Clare Anyiam-Osigwe's long list of accomplishments and awards are almost unbelievable; and she recently received royal recognition from Queen Elizabeth II. Yes, really.
As the founder of Premae, she tackles challenges and changes with admirable poise. Of course, we jumped for joy at the chance to chat with her.
You are quite the trailblazer! What drives you to succeed?
Success is everyone's birthright. Along the way, we learn behaviours and thoughts that separate us from our natural state which is complete happiness, abundance and peace. When I am in my flow, I create ideas and execute them without any shadow of doubt that they will come to fruition. I meditate on that and avoid distractions (people, places, songs, news); anything that will cause me to become unfocused.
How do you maneuver challenges?
Challenges are exciting and a time for learning.
As you navigate business, you learn that you are constantly in the state of apprenticeship, striving to master each section of business. A challenge pops up and most people will use this as an excuse to quit. A true entrepreneur will wipe the sweat from her brow and think, "Okay, here we go!" and dive right into solving the problem. Looking at it from all angles and trying to find the easiest, cheapest, quickest or most productive solution to overcome this issue. And then smile once the challenge has been solved.
These experiences strengthen your craft and help you stay focused on making sure you don't repeat them.
Experiencing allergy issues first-hand presumably played a part in motivating you to launch Premae. Why do you think so many companies continue to ignore the growing number of consumers who have similar struggles?
Absolutely. It's simple, if no-one at the top of those beauty companies, usually older men don't see that this is a problem, it will not filter down into the company culture or ethos. Also, the consumer doesn't mind spending money on ineffective products.
Through marketing, the major beauty companies can convince people to want products that do nothing for them. Buying products are is about tapping into emotion, feeling, not logic and need.
So for me, it has been about building a credible brand so the consumer trusts us. Now, we'll be tapping to the emotional buying habits of consumers so we give them the best of both worlds; highly effective products and emotional connectivity.
Shameless plug time! Can you tell us which products of yours is/are your absolute favorite?
All of them! I visit my site everyday and think , "I would buy everything on here." But my "day ones" are Harmony Balancing Face Wash, Harmony Essense Water Toner, Harmony Matte Sheen Balm and Harmony Serum. My foundation shade is 13, Sweet Date.
All foundations are named after my favorite alkaline smoothie ingredients like chia, maca, moringa, ginger for every woman. Premae is a pioneer of inclusivity and diversity. We have always championed all races and skin types.
Anything else you'd like to add?
Yes, it is possible to become a Premae partner! We also publish a quarterly magazine/ catalogue. Currently, we have 10 writers and are looking for more in lifestyle, travel, food expert and relationship coach plus relevant healthy brands for advertorials. Get in touch if you're interested!
