1.1 The TARGETcareers School Leavers' Challenge hereinafter referred to as "Competition" is open to all students currently studying for A Levels or equivalent at a UK school or Sixth Form College.
1.2 The Competition has two parts.
1.2.1 Part 1 is all online and requires students, hereinafter referred to as "Participants", to register their details and then immediately proceed with the online test and exercises.
22.214.171.124 Participants are only permitted one attempt at the online section of the Competition and are unable to save their attempt once they have started. This means Participants must register and complete the online section of the Competition in one session. Participants that register more than once will be disqualified as will entries that TARGETjobs Events, hereinafter referred to as the "Competition Organiser", suspects to be one of multiple attempts or against the spirit of the terms and conditions.
22.214.171.124 There are 2 exercises to complete in order for a Participant to get a score and appear on the Competition's Leaderboard. Once an individual has started the exercises they need to go on and complete them both in a single session, as they only get one chance to provide their answers. Each test is preceded by clear on-screen instruction of what is required and how the individual is to give their answers.
184.108.40.206 Once a Participant has completed the two online exercises the candidate will then be able to view their position on the leaderboard, and will receive an email containing further information around work readiness.
126.96.36.199 If a Participant's score remains one of the top 100 scores on the Leaderboard during the period that the online exercises are open then they will be invited by mobile phone or email by a member of TARGETjobs Events to the Grand Final.

22.214.171.124 In the event that a Participant in the top 100 is unable to attend the Grand Final, TARGETjobs Events reserves the right to replace he/she with the next best placed Participant from Part 1 of the Competition.
1.2.2 Part 2 of the Competition is an event hereinafter referred to as the "Grand Final", which will be held in London on a date to be confirmed.
184.108.40.206 During registration on the day of the Grand Final, each Participant must produce appropriate identification to confirm that they are currently studying at a UK school or Sixth Form College. The identification produced must also match the name registered at the start of the Competition online. If it doesn't match or appropriate identification cannot be produced then the Participant may still be allowed to take part in the final but their score will not be eligible for any prizes or a placing. A library card is considered to be an appropriate form of identification.
188.8.131.52 Lunch and refreshments throughout the day will be provided for Participants. It is the Participant's responsibility to notify the Competition Organisers of any special dietary needs.
18.104.22.168 Participants at the final are expected to cover the cost of their own transportation. Winners on the day will have their travel expenses reimbursed.
188.8.131.52 Each Participant at the Grand Final will be ranked and scored after each exercise they take part in throughout the day. The person with the highest overall score will win the TARGETcareers School Leavers' Challenge and the prizes will be presented.
Prizes won at Part 1 of the Competition will be settled within 15 working days of the closing dates and for Part 2, or Grand Final, they will be settled with the winners within 15 working days of the Grand Final event concluding.

3.4 The Competition Organiser reserves the right at any time to remove Participants from the Competition or prevent Participants participating in the Competition. This is at the Competition Organiser's sole discretion and considers such action necessary for safety reasons or the proper enjoyment of the Competition and Grand Final event by other Participants or for any other reasonable reason.
3.5 While the Competition Organiser takes every care with the staging of the Competition and Grand Final event, Participants acknowledge that personal accident and personal items insurance is his or her sole responsibility.
3.6 All decisions and rulings by the Competition Organiser and its employees are considered final.

HBA Brand Program
Healthcare Businesswomen's Association (HBA) is an influential healthcare non-profit and network of industry thought leaders. By enabling organizations to realize the full potential of their female talent, HBA is actively working to achieve gender parity in leadership positions and change the face of healthcare.
When HBA signed on with Pivot, they were looking to address a number of present-day challenges related to how they connected with members and corporate partners. Our team facilitated a discovery session with nationwide representation and engaged in feedback webinars with six membership sub-groups. This collaboration led to a bold, reimagined brand that resonates emotionally, conveys the impact of their important work, and makes compelling statements about their mission.
As a part of the sweeping rebrand effort we developed an elegant yet modern logo, pairing it with a refreshed color palette and expressive portrait photography. This visual identity is complemented by powerful and focused messaging, creating a new brand that speaks to HBA's 40-year heritage while pointing to their forward-thinking, innovative spirit.
Our branding scope of work included:
- Brand Strategy & Development
- Logo Concept & Design
- Brand Voice & Messaging
- Digital & Printed Material System
- Brand Video & Sizzle Reel
- Website Design Refresh
- Brand Style Guide Development
- Brand Photography Library
- Strategic Brand Rollout Plan
- Social Media Content Plan
- Event Collateral Development

This commission will come at no extra cost to you and helps support this website. But don't worry, I will only recommend things I use and love or vet through thorough research.
We love holidays around here, but with military service in our families, the Fourth holds a special place in our household. To pass on the love of our country to our kids we took on the task of a U.S. Flag craft this morning.
Despite the age of our kids (1 and 2.5 years old), we whipped this up in no time. From start to finish I'm sure we were done in under an hour.
As with any task, we started by gathering our supplies. We used:
- Crayola washable fingerpaint in red and blue
- 1″ painter's tape (any masking tape will work)
- 7″ x 9.5″ rectangular white canvases (I bought mine at the local German craft store, but here are some 5″ x 7″s which should also work or some 11″ x 14″ if you want to go big**)
- glue gun (for the stars – I couldn't find white star stickers)
- scissors
- box cutter (I like these because the blade is retractable and you can snap off the tip when it dulls giving you a whole new knife!)
We also protected the table with a clear vinyl table cloth cover (like this one), and put Ikea smocks on the kids to protect their clothing. (I used the stovetop because the kids can't reach the back burners and I was trying to keep the hot glue gun out of reach).
After we got our supplies together, I oriented the canvases like a landscape photo.
I used the painter's tape to create the stripes. I aligned one strip of tape to the top of our canvas, leaving the ends loose. This will ultimately be the first red stripe.
I aligned a second length of tape even with the first strip. This second length of tape wrapped from the back on the left to the back on the right, covering the edges of the canvas. This will ultimately be the first white stripe.
I aligned the strip of tape from the top of the canvas with the bottom of the stripe we just completed and then added another strip of tape below it to continue the repeating pattern of alternating stripes. I kept leap frogging tape until I reached the bottom of the canvas.
After applying the tape for the stripes, we had (mostly) equally distributed stripes that were fairly even.
**A note about the size of the canvases. You want your first and last stripes to be red with equal-width white stripes evenly distributed. If you use 1″ tape, a canvas with a short side measuring an odd number (3″, 5″, 7″, 9″, 11″, and 13″) will net you the same result with a different number of stripes.
I eyeballed the blue field, cutting the tape with scissors to give nice, even edges. Then we covered any exposed white area in the blue field, including the edges, with additional tape. Before we put the canvases in front the kids, we gently but firmly pressed the tape to the canvas to make sure it was securely in place to prevent bleeding.
To get started with the paint, we dolloped a dose of red fingerpaint onto the canvas and let the kids smear it around until they covered all the exposed white.
After the red dried nominally (with some heavy fanning), we peeled the tape from the blue field. I used the penknife to gently score the strip of tape for the first white stripe, using the edge of the red stripes as guides. (You could also do this with scissors quite easily.)
When all the tape was removed, we had a nice blank canvas for our stars and blue field.
While my husband washed the majority of the red paint from the kids' hands (to prevent blending), I drew stars onto the white canvas with the hot glue gun. I looked for, but was unable to find, star-shaped stickers. If you wanted a true white star, I imagine that would probably work better. A cursory search on Amazon turns up seven pages of results.
After the glue cooled, and with varying degrees of assistance, the kids filled in the field of stars with blue finger paint. Again, while my husband dunked the kids in the bathroom sink, I peeled off the remaining tape and propped the canvases up (and out of reach) to dry.
This was one of the easiest crafts we've done with our small kids. I think part of the reason was because my husband was home to help, and the other part was because we taped the canvas, thereby "controlling their environment".
In the end, this turned out much better than our Valentine's Day handprint heart canvases where I had to define the "hearts" with glitter glue. Either way, both projects are things we'll keep for years to come, using them as seasonal decor, and passing them on when the time comes.
Wishing you an enjoyable and safe Fourth of July!

Indonesian Adventures: Caving and Tubing
What's a vacation without a little adventure? I got my #adrenaline fix in #Indonesia with these two #active experiences: caving and river tubing. A tour guide lead us into a descent in the incredible Jomblang cave, and then we geared up with pads and helmets to tube down a river through a cave. It was the must fun I had in #Yogyakarta!
Jomblang Cave is one of Yogyakarta's hidden treasures. A little off the beaten tourist track, descent into Jomblang involves being a manpowered rope lowering 60m down into an ancient sinkhole. It's enough to make even the most adventurous get butterflies in their stomach, especially when looking in from the top and seeing only a thicket of tropical forest.
It's enough to make even the most adventurous get butterflies in their stomach
Jomblang is a two-hour drive south-east from Yogyakarta. Only one tour is run a day - 10.15am every day, and only a maximum of 60 people are allowed in at each session to preserve the system's fragility. I arrived early at 9.30am in order to have time to rest before descending into the underworld.
Borobudur Sunrise Tour Indonesia
Batik Workshop, Yogyakarta
I am hooked up to a sturdy harness and equipped with a helmet. Luckily, I've chosen to wear my North Face hiking boots today - they're waterproof, which will come in handy walking through wet mud (it rained yesterday) and inside the cave, through which an underground river runs. Those without waterproof boots are given rubber Wellingtons. Our harnesses are checked and double-checked to be extra secure, and before I know it I've been asked to step right up to the side of Goa Jomblang to be hooked up to the manpowered rope pulley system.
Trust is the hard part - it's a 60-metre drop, and it takes everything I have not to look down before I feel safe sitting in the harness.
Before I even realise it, I've come through tree branches and leaves and I'm sitting in the sinkhole. The greenery here looks different than the world above. Maybe it's because this is such an enclosed little bubble, it looks Jurassic and people haven't had the chance to destroy it. There are long roots hanging from trees growing off the side of the cliff, and the sunlight dapples through leaves above our heads.
The greenery here looks different than the world above
It takes a while before the rest of the group has been lowered into Goa Jomblang. Once we are all ready and accounted for, a short five-minute trek takes us to Goa Grubug. The trek is short but I'm glad I have my phone, because once inside it is pitch dark and deathly silent. The floor is muddy and the dirt is compact, sediment from where the river that carved this cave used to run. Someone once built a pathway through this cave, but so many have walked over it that dirt has nearly obscured the steps entirely.
Grubug and Jomblang are part of the same cave system, so when someone tells you they're going to Jomblang, what they really mean is that they're going through Jomblang for Grubug.
After climbing over some fallen rock, we start to hear the sound of water. We are near now to Grubug - the humidity levels have skyrocketed, and even though it isn't warm everyone is covered in sweat and moisture. We exit through the passageway and are greeted by the money shot, what we are all here for, the sunlight streaming through the heavens.

The underground river that runs through this system is what is causing this extreme humidity that makes water condense on everything. It runs through the system and exits at Kalisuji, where I will be headed afterwards; the water is mineral-rich and has formed, over millions of years, massive rocks of limestone. Water is dripping down from every surface.

We stay here for an hour and a half, milking our time here for everything we've got. Jumping up and down the limestone formations (boots off when climbing on these delicate structures), taking endless pictures of the skylight above us, and exploring what of Grubug we're allowed to.
The time passes quickly, and before we've had time to catch our breath it's already time to head back out of Jurassic World. Most of us have mud-stained clothes, from climbing and falling over and into the wet mud. We're hooked up to our harnesses again and lifted back out of Jomblang.
After a packed lunch, my driver takes me fifteen minutes away to the nearby Kalisuci for river tubing. This is a welcome respite from the humidity and sweat of the cave. However I have carelessly forgotten to bring extra clothes with me - for some reason, I didn't quite put "river tubing" and "getting soaked" together! Luckily, nearby stalls sell extra clothes for a song, so I quickly pick up some extras.

At the river, we are geared with a life-vest and padded like babies. We have shin, knee and elbow protectors, as well as helmets. It isn't until I get to the river that I understand why - once in the tubes, we keep knocking into the sides of the cave wall as the current controls where we go.
This is easily the most fun I've had during my entire stay in Yogyakarta. We are soaked through and everyone is playing, splashing water at each other, all the time while going through this spectacular river-carved cave.

At one of the pools, we get off the tubes and jump into the water. It's refreshing and a welcome respite from the heat of the day, and since I haven't been swimming in ages it takes a while for me to get back into the swing of being in the water. The water is shallow and when I stand, it only reaches my waist - and soon everyone is playing in the cool water.
It's refreshing and a welcome respite from the heat of the day
This is where waterproof phone pouches come in handy! We take endless photos playing in the pool, and to my amazement the waterproof phone pouch I bought for $5 is doing its job well at keeping my phone dry in the water.
As we progress through the river, we are helped along by people who push our tubes through more rocky rapid portions. It's a waterslide adventure and everyone is screaming and yelling with how much fun we're having.
It's a waterslide adventure
The river at Kalisuci takes us an hour and half to go through, but it feels so much shorter than that because we're having so much fun. I don't want to leave the water by the end of it - the ride has been equal parts relaxing, lazing in the water, and exciting with going down rapids. It's easily the most fun I've had in Yogyakarta and I can't wait to come back for more.

Blue Boots
Blue has been doing it's job well for years. It's the V12 of colours. Used in lighter shades, or in logos it stands out as the spectrum of light that takes it's job the most serious. Find your pair of blue boots below.
Blue is razor blade sharp, and sleek, it's the serious athletes colour and represents a no-nonsense, non-comprimising winner-takes-all attitude. So you know it's no accident that Superman wears it.

Though it may seem utterly unbelievable today, the town of Yarm, in the very depths of
North-East England (and
eighteen winding miles from the sea), was once the premier port of the River
Tees. The industries of Middlesbrough, and Billingham – all downstream – now far outstrip Yarm in terms of
river traffic, yet for centuries this was far from the case. Stockton
Until the building of the bridge at
in 1771, the aging structure at Yarm was the nearest crossing point
on the Stockton Tees to the sea. Furthermore, Yarm represents pretty much the tidal (and
navigational) limit of the river, so the town understandably became an
important spot for trade and commerce. However, it probably owes its ancient
foundation to its easily defendable position in an inverted 'U' in the river's
A royal charter granted in 1207 gave the Yarm its weekly market and two annual fairs; and the Black Friars settled in the town in the 13th century, remaining until the 1580s. The old stone bridge – still standing – was built in 1400, and the settlement grew and prospered until, essentially, merchant ships became too big to make it up river – with first
, then Stockton Middlesbrough taking over the role as the River Tees' main port. Yarm, however,
remained prominent as a coaching stop – as is evidenced, at least historically,
by its high number of inns and pubs.
Yarm looks anything but a port these days, yet is still as charming as ever.

Requesting feedback, please respond, or take the poll: Top 10 list:Name for editing groups
Since the old User Group pages are confusing, I've decided to overhaul them again to make them much more useful, and integrated with the new user infobox.
In case you haven't noticed, everyone now has a shiny new blank user infobox on your user page, feel free to fill it out at your leisure. When you fill it out, you will automatically be added to the Project Task Forces relevant to your indicated interests.
Our old User Group page is Saints Row Wiki:User Groups, and there is some historical discussion on Saints Row Wiki talk:User Groups.
That User Groups page on this wiki has been here for a long time, and has had a lot of changes. It started out in 2009 as a place for people to just say "I want to be in the Los Brothers of Oiran gang!" and didn't actually have a purpose.
It was re-purposed over a year ago, because User Groups (AKA Projects, or Task Forces) on wikis are usually dedicated to editing and maintaining specific sections of the wiki, such as focusing on all store articles to ensure all purchasable items are listed, or ensuring all related articles have a common layout.
User:Moozipan Cheese is a one-man mission User Group, having completely overhauled all mission pages for both Saints Row and Saints Row 2, with very little help. Obviously others had previously contributed to those pages, and he kept some of the previous content, but I don't think there's a single paragraph on any mission page which he didn't at least re-arrange.
When he was just starting, he posted a mission layout guide, so that others could help, but he ended up doing it all himself.
I haven't really been using the user-groups page, as I wanted people to form their own groups and manage themselves, but I realise that I probably should have posted about my own weapons infobox project on the weapons user group page, amongst other things I've mostly been doing by myself.
The new user groups can be found under
Category:Task Force (now Category:to-do)
As well as linking the new {{user}} to the user groups, I have also updated all the items on the To-do list with a template, with a parameter indicating the related project, so that the To-do list items are also listed on Project pages. This is dynamic, whenever an item is added to the to-do list, it is automatically listed on each project page.
All of this has now been implemented, but I'd like some feedback.
I've been checking other wikis for some ideas of how other people do things, but haven't found any good, active, examples.
- 1. What should we call them?
- User Groups, User groups, usergroups, Projects, Task Forces, or something else? Different wikis use different names, but if we're going to do a overhaul anyway, we may as well consider renaming them "Projects" as a fresh start.
- 2. Names of each group
- Do you agree that it's a better idea to name the groups after the focus? "User Group/Vice Kings" v "User Group/Missions". I kept the gang name as that was how it was originally, but I think it would be better use the "User Group/Missions" format. After all, you can still specify your favorite gang in your user infobox.
- 3. Do you like how it's easier to join a group, just by filling out the user infobox?
- 4. What do you want from user groups?
- 5. I'd also like general feedback on the new user group pages.

- I've created
Category:Task Force(edit: Now Category:to-do), and modified the user infobox to automatically add the related user group according to interests listed.
- There is also a corresponding user group subpage for each new usergroup, but at the moment these are only linked from each category.
- I'm thinking that there's really no point in the multiple subpages. Instead, the category pages can be used, and topics related to each user group can be posted as forum posts, with the relevant category added.
- This makes it easier for anyone to start a discussion related to a user group.
- I'll also create a simple template to add each category to a forum post.
- I have not yet added a list of articles to each usergroup, I'll do that soon - via the header.
- 452, 2013-03-30T20:12:27Z (last edited: 452, 2015-02-12T16:00:10Z)
- To-do changes:
- The to-do list now uses the {{to-do}} template, which takes a project focus as a parameter and allows automatic listing on each project page.
- See Category:To-do/Location for examples.
- 452, 2013-03-30T20:14:49Z (last edited: 452, 2015-02-01T03:45:09Z)
- Also, I need to add at least one contrived to-do item for each group, so no-one can say "well, there's nothing to-do".
- I'm also going to add an automatic list of relevant pages marked with cleanup, stub and fact tags.
- This will be added via the header, using the same list of categories as the automatic article list.
- Yes, I really like the idea of the user groups being categories, and topics being forum posts.
- It lends itself very nicely to keeping things organised and easy to access. Instead of a template, there should just be a preload for each user group - and a "create new discussion for this usergroup" box on the user group page.
- Does it need a heading? Or just a category? Definitely a heading, so that people stumbling onto the forum post through the forum listing know what it is.
- "This is a discussion page for the Weapons Project user group, see link for more information about the Weapons Project."
- Problem.
- I need to hardcode all lists into the header. There's no other way around it that I can see. There's no shortcuts to tell DPL "get all of these categories" except by hardcoding... or doing a double dpl call. Maybe. I guess I'll try that.
- edit: nvm, calling dpl as a parser function allows translcuding a template as any parameter, doing exactly what I need.
- Working wonderfully.
- Done, there is at least one post and one to-do list item for each project.
- While categorising posts, i found an old to-do list in one of them which I have now added to the to-do list.
- I'm also going to go back through my old "My edits" page and add those items.
- edit: I was about to go do this, then realised I had already done it. Kind of like some of the things on the to-do list.
- Done and done.
- Currently, every single idea has been implemented, so I've updated the post accordingly.
- I'm not sure what else... Rated articles? Adding a list of articles which have been rated, as well as articles which have not been rated - along with articles which have been requested to be rated.
- I see no reason not to continue to push the article rating system. We can even add a list of "rated articles by project" - the mission articles would be a clear winner, of course.
- I've also updated the shortest, oldest, and fewest revision templates so that they can return articles from certain characters, and added these to the user groups.
- edit: done.
- 452, 2013-04-05T15:08:23Z (last edited: 452, 2013-06-05T21:18:13Z)
- I'm fine with how it's named at the moment, but I'm not sure on the capitalisation. I'm cool with it being changed if you feel it should.
- Perhaps "Gang name (focus)" or "Focus (gang name)"?
- I do, but then we end up with inactive users in them. We should probably remove them after being inactive for a certain amount of time.
- *Shrugs* I kind of like how they are; they're there if you want to join them but you don't have to if you don't want to. If we had a larger community we could probably do a lot more with them.
- Moozipan Cheese, 2013-04-06T13:08:22Z
- The problem of inactive users is definitely still a concern, especially since there's no easily automated way for me to drop inactive users. (Not that there is currently, either)
- But I'm fine with risking having to remove a few more inactive users if it means we get a few more people contributing.
- I just had an epiphany regarding the user group names.
- One problem has always been that, apart from game-related branding, there's never been any real reason for the gang names. For instance, the title "Vice Kings" really has nothing to do with editing mission articles.
- Perhaps what we need to do is keep all of them, new and old, but re-purpose the old ones to be more relevant to their titles.
- The Vice Kings usergroup would be dedicated to editing articles about the Vice Kings - Characters, Missions, and adding info about gang vehicles and weapons used by the gang members, stuff like that.
- It seems likely that people who "like the Vice Kings" would want to focus on editing articles about the Vice Kings.
- The only trouble with this idea is that it's not exactly supported by the new userbox parameters, nor easily integrated with the new user group template. So people would still be part of the Characters group, but the Vice Kings group would be moved to User_Groups/Gang/Vice_Kings and people would have to "join" it manually.

- Re: User Groups or Usergroups
- It seems the standard is to name them "Usergroups" as one word.
- These are the examples I could find.
- http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Call_of_Duty_Wiki:Usergroups
- http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Battlefield_Wiki:Usergroups
- http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Avatar_Wiki:War_Room/Inactive_usergroups
- http://falloutfanfic.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_Fanfiction_Wiki:Usergroups
- http://area51.wikia.com/wiki/BlackSite_Wiki:Usergroups
- http://rucka.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Usergroups
- http://xiaolinpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Xiaolinpedia:User_groups
- http://gearsofwar.wikia.com/wiki/Gearspedia:Usergroup_Policy
- Although I normally don't use what other wikis do as a guideline, in this case, I have looked at a variety of other wikis to see if they had any other usergroup ideas which help here.
- Hmmm, I had forgotten about the rated articles list already.
- It can be done easily. The trouble is that there isn't a rated article for each category. So the first thing I need to do is rate a few articles.
- Hmm, I never did do that rated article list.
- But I think I'll merge it with the basic list of articles, no point in having separate lists, when "all" articles should eventually be rated.
- I'm not sure what happens if you attempt to do a labelled section transclusion on an article without a labelled section - I guess i'm going to find out soon.
- 452, 2013-06-04T00:34:26Z (last edited: 452, 2013-06-04T00:35:13Z)
- I should probably do something about that epiphany.
- edit: I'll need to create a separate user groups header, because the normal User Group header template won't work.
- To-do list - will have to be cut
- Project topics - can stay, but will be empty.
- Discussions - can stay, but will be empty.
- Requests can stay - will have entries
- The main thing I need to do first is create gang entries on {{Project_categories}}
- 452, 2013-06-04T00:35:39Z (last edited: 452, 2013-07-13T22:17:21Z)
- Which means I will at least have to rename them, and since I have to rename them anyway, I'd rather just switch the name to something else entirely.
- I quite like "Task forces"
- "I'm part of the Mission task force" sounds better than "I'm part of the Mission user group", or "I'm part of the Mission project"
- edit: Since it doesn't really matter either way, and this post hasn't really gotten much attention, I've created a poll to decide: Top 10 list:Name for editing groups
- 452, 2013-06-05T21:28:33Z (last edited: 452, 2013-06-05T21:37:31Z)
- Finally done as a separate list, I'm not sure what I was thinking a month ago, because the rating section isn't done using LST - only the featured summary is. So it was much easier than I thought.
- I've been thinking more about this, and there's a slight problem of duplicate scope.
- It's possible to do most of what I've proposed, but it's really not very useful. Particularly since no-one has ever actually said "I'm only interested in editing articles about Los Carnales", while there has definitely been people who have only been interested in weapons, vehicles and missions.
- So, I'm not going to do the same kind of automatic lists for gang-specific user groups. Manual lists will have to do. I will add the post list, so that creating discussions is easy.
- Correction: It wasn't as difficult as I was thinking, so there are automatic lists, the same as all other Task Forces, with the exception of To-do list entries, and the Relevant Discussions section. However, many gang-specific Task Forces have blank sections.
- The hardest part is making project blogs possible for them, but since it's the easiest way to encourage discussions, I'm going to do it.
- Since there isn't a "Category:User_Groups/Gang", I'm going to use that as the hub page for the gang-specific user-groups.
- These gang-specific user groups will be given 1 more year, and if they're not used, they can be deleted.
- 452, 2013-07-13T22:04:17Z (last edited: 452, 2013-07-14T00:48:46Z)
- I hit a roadblock - it's not currently possible to move pages into the Category namespace, so I'm going to wait to hear from Wikia Staff if that restriction can be removed.
- It's also not possible to move category pages, but I've been doing it manually (copy/paste) - and if they do remove the restriction, then that would have saved me a lot of time.

Tummy time is important for an infant's development. Here are fun ways to encourage tummy time with your little one:
1. Put baby on your chest
Babies enjoy being held, so lay back and put baby on your chest to enjoy some face time. Seriously, who can resist their child's sweet face? If baby can't tolerate being all the way on his or her tummy, lay on an angled surface.
2. Use a Biddy Belly
I reviewed this nifty toy in a previous post: Products I Love - Biddy Belly
3. Find a fun tummy time mat
When I had my first baby, I questioned the necessity of a tummy time mat. However, if your child is resistant to tummy time, there are some really neat tummy time mats out there! Some have flat mirrors, while others have different textures. Some have toys attached and others have a water-filled insert. Find something that will capture your little one's attention and have some fun!
4. Sensory Play
Give your little one something fun to do while on his or her tummy that also encourages sensory integration. Here are some fun ideas:
- Put a toy that lights up and/or plays music in front of baby to encourage her to push up and reach while on her tummy.
- Put a cookie sheet in front of baby and put some water or whipped cream into it to encourage exploration and splashing. Supervise your child all all times during this activity!
- Put a mirror or light box in front of baby to encourage visual stimulation and pushing up on his forearms or palms.
If you have an exercise ball or a peanut ball, lay your baby on the ball on his or her tummy. Roll baby forward and back toward your face or a mirror to give him or her something interesting to look at. On a regular ball, you can also rock baby from side to side. Oftentimes, baby will extend his or her trunk while on the ball, encouraging prone extension for strengthening. Please hold your child at all times while he or she is on a ball! (unlike the photo below)

Stronger Economy Should Attract Buyers
May 8, 2015
The growing tide of good economic news means the days of rock-bottom mortgage rates are over, but the housing market is nevertheless well-positioned for growth, the chief economist of the Mortgage Bankers Association says.
Housing: What To Expect
More Markets Fall Back into 'Normal' Range
Housing Analysts Bet on 2016 as Standout Year
Although interest rates will head up as policymakers ease the accommodations they have been providing to boost the weak economy, wages are likely to also increase and new household formation is on the rise, creating an environment that, on balance, is healthy for housing, says Michael C. Fratantoni, who spoke at a recent REALTOR® University event at NAR's Washington office.
One of Fratantoni's chief reasons for optimism is the improving job market. The number of job-seekers per open position is down to about two from a post-economic crisis high of nearly seven, raising pressure on employers to raise wages in order to compete for workers, he says.
"We think that the improvements in the job market that we've already experienced, and that we're likely to experience the remainder of this year and into next year, are going to be enough to offset any headwind from that rise in rates," Fratantoni says.
Another positive factor Fratantoni points to is that more younger buyers are moving out on their own as the job market strengthens. Most of the new households being formed now are renters, but that will change as these people gain experience living on their own, he predicted. "The numbers are so large that it's going to be a huge positive for the market once they get there."
Even as he foresees robust conditions for the housing market going forward, Fratantoni warns that the interest rate environment will be unsettled for lenders and borrowers alike in the near term. "I think there's room here for really a substantial increase in rate volatility over the next several months to a year" as banks try to predict when the Federal Reserve will act to raise interest rates, he says. "You're going to feel it when you're talking to your buyers."

On December 27, 1831 Charles Darwin set out for the tour that would eventually revolutionize science. This is the story we all hear. But the real golden nugget can be found in the not-so-sexy times in-between, while on the boat. The first couple weeks of the trip, the 21 year old Darwin found the crew unbearable. Coming from an educated background, he had a hard time relating with the other shipmates.
The Change
After weeks of wishing he had never gone on the trip, Darwin took a new approach. He decided to study the life ON BOARD the ship. This practice allowed him discover the unwritten rules of his reality and enabled him to fit in. On another level, he slowly transformed himself into the most astute observer of nature that the world has known. He later practiced the same technique with Gauchos and other local communities, allowing him to fit in and gather specimens he could not have otherwise collected.
Darwin first observed and complied with the rules without preconceptions. Then with this base knowledge in hand, he changed science as we know it.
The Not-So-Sexy Chapter in the Book of Success
Over the years our culture has developed a fetish for rule breakers. They are intriguing to us, think about blockbuster hits like oceans eleven. Or any character that Clint Eastwood plays.
Unfortunately this type of ideology has spilled over into how we view success. The idealized story usually goes like this: Visionary comes up with idea, breaks all rules of an industry, shakes the earth beneath him, changes the world.
This is a true story, but we are only getting a snapshot of the sexy part. What we are missing is all the time the Visionary spent learning the rules
Before crushing an industry with a sustainable landmark innovation, you find that the visionary spent years observing and absorbing its reality as deeply as possible. They will often unknowingly act like an anthropologist, dropping all preconceptions and fully submitting to their environment.
The Opportunity
Our opportunity is to take every task we are given, no matter how menial, as an opportunity to observe the world and industry at work. No detail is too trivial. Observe the unwritten rules of the industry, find the gap, and start shaking things up.

Continuing the series of passport photographs from my collection.
Peruse and wonder.
Juan Iglesis, a 45 year old Spaniard who had found refuge from the Civil War, is now living just over the border in Pyreneen France with his wife and teenage daughter. It is now November 1939 and once again he is in a country at war but this time he is a neutral foreigner. He needs a pass from the local police station to enable him to travel around the region.
The purpose of his travelling is stated as 'commerce'; on his wife's pass the purpose is 'food and clothing'.

Bauerfeind LumboTrain Back Support
Improved, more breathable fabric knit lumbar support incorporating an adjustable, anatomically contoured silicone insert stabilizes and relaxes the lower back muscles.
Silicone insert with raised nodules provides intermittent compression to the soft tissue, leading to increased circulation, and allowing for unicompartmental movement. Intermittent compression stimulates muscle activity which most lower back supports do not achieve.
Promotes proprioception, thus heightening sensory awareness in the lower back for increased stabilization and thereby less back pain.
Anatomical knit carries controlled compression graduated at the edges to prevent rolling of the support. This back support contains natural rubber latex. The rubber latex layer is covered with synthetic fibers so it will not come in contact with the skin. Hook-and-loop fastenings and hand straps allow for easy application and adjustment, even for people with arthritis . Lightweight, breathable knit will not retain heat and is completely machine washable.
Bauerfeind LumboTrain Back Support can be used to help or prevent:

An amazing thought. . . I am here because He thought of me. He planned my life and intricately knit me together in my mother's womb. Each and every part of me was carefully crafted by our Creator and He has given me an irreplaceable part to play in His big story. He is my Father and I am His forever child created to bring glory and honor to His great name.
I had the blessing and rich heritage of being a daughter of believing parents. My parent's greatest desire was that my brother and I would know the love of the God they serve. I walked through several years of rebellion, yet in my early 20's surrendered my life to the Lordship of Christ.
This began the incredible journey of my Christian walk. My greatest desire since I became a believer has been to know God and intimately walk with Him. I am very much like the character Much Afraid in the classic allegory Hinds Feet on High Places. I desperately want to go to the mountain top or High Places, but I am too weak and afraid to make the journey alone. I need the Father, my Good Shepherd, to lead and guide me there.
I envisioned a life of mountain peak views with a story script of comfort, ease, and abundance. My naïve heart wanted the mountain peak views without the cost of the climb upward. I wanted the ski-lift approach . . . to get to the top and to experience the view without the effort or cost of the climb. But God wants our dependence. God wants to stretch and grow my faith so that I can develop spiritual muscles . . . so that I can know the power of the Resurrection . . . so that I can know the depth of His character. There is no way to the mountain top except by way of steep climbs, deep valleys, and seemingly never-ending wildernesses.
God's Word says in 2 Corinthians 4:7, But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed but not driven to despair, persecuted but not forsaken, struck down but not destroyed, always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.
When I was in college, I was diagnosed with clinical depression, and I have struggled with it ever since. I have gone through periods of intense darkness and fight through the fog often. Thus far, God has not healed me of this chemical imbalance. Instead, He has strengthened me and enabled me to endure the climb to the mountaintop while carrying this extra weight. He has provided enough light to make the journey and I am deeply grateful for the days of the brightest light. My Abba Father is the lifter of my head, and He has revealed to me the brightness of His glory. He shines His perfect light into my darkness.
I had planned out my story and my script flowed smoothly with no periods of waiting, silence, or uncertainty. I had it mapped out and I knew how many miles it would be before each turn and which direction to turn when it was time. My map through my twenties failed me because the road through singleness was much farther than I had anticipated. God waited several years before He brought my dear Mark. God, in His wisdom, used those years in the wilderness of singleness to bless me with deep intimacy with Him and rich fellowship with believers. It was during those years that He gave me the gift of life-long friendships, friends that are still my best friends today. His plans are good and His timing is perfect.
After marriage, I was ready for the turn up the mountain to parenting, but my Good Shepherd lead me the opposite way to the valley of the shadow of death and sorrow. I lost three babies through miscarriage and went through three and a half years of infertility treatments. These were some of the most painful and lonely years for us and especially for me. I had to die to the dream of having my own child when the infertility specialist told me that he had exhausted all treatments and that we should pursue adoption. I was a drug representative at the time, and I would walk in hospitals and see pregnant women all around. I would pray, God, this is an easy thing for you to do . . . why won't you hear my cry? I had to surrender my life-long desire to have my own child. Mark and I decided after much prayer that our way out of the valley of barrenness would be adoption. We began the process and finished our home-study. At the point we were waiting to be matched with a birth mother, we discovered a miracle. I was pregnant. God gave us FOUR children in FOUR years. Gods' word says in Ephesians 3:20, Now unto Him who is able to do far more than all we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. We are still amazed and thankful for His immeasurable gifts.
At this point in our lives, it felt so good to have a scenic view. Mark and I relished this place of blessing, this place of having children that we never thought we would have.
About the time that we were settling into our rocking chairs to enjoy the view, our Good Shepherd began leading us down a new trail into a different valley. When our fourth child was seven months old, I noticed that Margaret was not responding to sound. I took her to the doctor the next day and was told that she probably had fluid in her ears. The doctor referred us to an ENT to have her ears checked possibly for tubes. Two weeks later, the ENT and audiologist confirmed that our baby girl is profoundly deaf. I remember sitting in the doctor's office that day thinking of how rare it is to hear of a child being deaf. The truth is that deafness is very uncommon but our loving Father in His sovereignty chose our sweet Margaret to be deaf. The Father had reached out His hand and again led us into the valley of death and sorrow.
We found out that Margaret was a candidate for cochlear implants yet our insurance did not cover the $90,000 cost per ear. They considered it an elective surgery. In the meantime, we found out that Margaret's doctor, Dr. Wooley and Mark's boss happened to be on a campout together and committed to work this out on our behalf. These men lobbied to the people at the top of Aetna and God changed their heart. Aetna covered the cost almost one hundred percent.
Margaret is now 4 years old and she is talking like crazy. She goes to the Alabama School for the Hearing where she is in community with other preschoolers who have cochlear implants. She LOVES school!
As I have walked through these valleys with my Father, the Good Shepherd, I have experienced His deep, deep love and have come to know His character. I am convinced that the way that God prepares us for Home and allows us to really know His character is through the fellowship of suffering. Through suffering loss and uncertainty, God has blessed our family with the immeasurable riches of knowing Him more intimately. The Father is showing us that our own desires for comfort and peace are desires that He alone can satisfy. My wandering heart continuously runs to broken cisterns but He gently and tenderly redirects my heart and quenches my thirst with the Living Water that perfectly and eternally satisfies.
I have climbed up the mountain by way of the valleys, and as I climb the view gets more beautiful. I am thankful when my Good Shepherd allows me to stop, rest, and enjoy the view but I KNOW that we have not yet reached the Top of the mountain. This is our temporary home, and we are on our journey to our Eternal Home. I do not want to stop here and God mercifully will not let me get too comfortable at each rest because He has more for me to know and more for me to SEE. He will not stop until we reach the Heights of Home. The longer the journey, the more I trust Him with the way He leads me. I always remember that though the valleys are dark, painful, and sometimes long, He eventually leads me out and upward. His love for me is the reason I keep climbing. He gives me gifts of His grace and glimpses of His glory. He gives me hope. He strengthens and protects me. He nourishes my soul and gives me unspeakable joy in the journey. Like Much Afraid, I KNOW that He is good and He is faithful. He will never leave me nor forsake me. My heart cries, "Lead on, Good Shepherd, lead on!"

LSF was lucky enough to interview Seri Kertzner, aka Little Miss Party. Seri graduated from the University of Western Ontario in 1999 with a degree in combined economics and business. After accepting a job at Kate Spade in 2001, she moved to New York City to begin her career in fashion. Seri spent 10 years involved in production and development at Kate Spade, Club Monaco and J. Crew. Over the last few recent years Seri has planned events for many friends, colleagues and acquaintances. But it was not until she took on the role of bride that she was inspired to start her own business. Little Miss Party understands her clients' wishes and can easily integrate their vision with her expertise to create an event that is truly unique to each individual.
Please tell us a about yourself and your company I am Canadian born, from Toronto. I moved to New York in January 2001 when I got a job with Kate Spade. I started on the financial side in the fashion world and after one year moved over to production. I later worked for Club Monaco and J.Crew over a total of 10 years in the biz.
Three weeks after I moved to NYC in 2001, I met my incredible husband through the one friend I had in this city. We are now going on 11 years of being together…5 of which we've been married and living in the downtown area.
Little Miss Party is a boutique party planning company specializing in big events, small spaces. Our concept is all about personalization, attention to details and catering to each of our client's unique and specific needs. We do as much as providing the food, dessert bar, drinks, music, décor and staffing to as little as consulting for your event.
How did you come up with the name of your company? I have to give my mother FULL credit for the name. When I first had the idea to start the business I turned to my mom and sister and asked that they send me a list of names. My mom had come back to me with a list of so many good options I actually had trouble choosing! But Little Miss Party Planner was the best. It fit me (because I happen to be a small little gal) and the concept behind my business, which is a focus on intimate parties.
What inspired you to start your business? I got married in a very raw space in Toronto called the Fermenting Cellar in the Distillery district back in 2007. After planning the wedding on my own and taking total control over almost every decision, I thought…this is fun! Maybe I should do this for a living!? So I bought the domain name for my business and held onto it while working full-time in the fashion industry thinking I could start taking on small projects to start…and one day bring the company to life. In 2009 I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. I went back to J.Crew when my three-month mat leave was up and cried every day at my desk for two weeks straight. Needless to say…I didn't cope very well with leaving my little man and made the decision to leave my job and be with him. Once he started preschool I decided, it's time! Let's get this show on the road…and Little Miss Party officially launched in July 2011.
What makes your business unique? Little Miss Party Planner goes above and beyond for our clients. We take great pride in the creative details that we put forth in each of our events and make sure our clients feel stress free through the planning process and relaxed throughout the event so they can be a guest at their own party. We also differ from our competition by giving back. We often leave our clients with leftover food, flowers and/or favors. We give them the opportunity to donate leftovers to the Bowery Mission to help out others who are less fortunate and in need of a meal or in some cases like the example following, flowers for a wedding where they cannot afford any on their own. Our client Carmen Nesbit inspired us to do so and we cannot thank her enough for this. To read more on this beautiful story click here.
What is your company's philosophy when working with parents to plan children's events/parties? Sit back and relax! Being a full-time mom who is trying to grow a new business, I know what it's like to have a LOT on your plate. And for this LMP feels it's most important to take care of ALL the work for you. From kid friendly but creative food, exciting entertainment to fun and appropriate favors, we'll take care of every detail so you can enjoy your children's birthdays without lifting a finger.
What has been your most memorable event you and your team coordinated for? Ooh…this is a tough one! All of our events have been so special to us in a way. We have done so many cool events that it's just too hard to choose! From an engagement party in East Hampton to an intimate wedding in a Soho loft to a first birthday party on a client's roof deck on the upper east side…each event has been better than the next and we're so thankful for the incredible client's that we've had the privilege of working with thus far!
How do you find balancing being a mom and owning your own business? What is your biggest challenge? Well my sister likes to tell me I'm not human…and she thinks I'm a robot. HA! I have an odd amount of energy and find that I'm able to pack a lot into a day to get it all done. How do I do that? I make a zillion lists to keep myself organized, I drink a lot of water to stay hydrated and I sleep in as late as I can on a daily basis. I was blessed with a son who sleeps like his mom and dad…and that is…like a log. In all seriousness, the key is pacing yourself, making time for family first and then everything else seems to just fall into place.
What do you find mot rewarding about your line of work? Turning special occasions for people into a dreamlike celebration. Their appreciation for our hard work is priceless and makes us feel so good to see our clients happy and satisfied when all is said and done. And of course – it's incredibly rewarding to see my passion for party planning come to life.
Anything else you would like to share? I'd like to just say that I am very blessed in love, family and friends. I cannot thank everyone in my life enough for the love and support they have given to me. I am also incredibly fortunate to have partnered with the most amazing person, Michelle. She's the best cohort a little miss party planner could ask for and I couldn't be luckier to have met her several years ago at J.Crew.
And to everyone reading this article…Happy Holidays! Have fun and be safe this upcoming winter.
Lots of Love, Seri

Today's Look shows yet another Sparkly, Sequined Sweater which I think is perfect for the Holidays. Plus, I got it for 70% off. It was a steal of a deal for 20 bucks. I absolutely love that it has Colorful, Bright & Shiny Parrots. I also love that the Sweater is Black since the Parrots are Colorful & very Sparkly covered in Sequins. I wanted to go for a Monochrome Look and paired it with Black Leggings on the bottom. These are perfect for the Holidays also, since they are Velvet. My Sparkly Black, Silver & Magenta Jewelry is all from White House Black Market, from their Holiday collection 3 years ago. I added one of my trademark Headbands (this one has Tulle & Silk Rosettes) and my Olive Oxford Booties and voila! What do you think? Also, I will be continuing this Holiday Series next Tuesday and bring you another Holiday Must Have, for me. Stay Tuned. Thank You.

REQUEST: Evernote Archive
patricksan posted an idea in General Feature RequestsDear All, I really would love to see a solution for archiving notes. I've been using for 4 years and now I have some notes that I want to keep in the system, but want to remove from my search. As time goes, my search are getting more difficult to separate valid information and archived information. Like we have Notes, Notebook, Tags, Atlas, Market and Premium button on the Mac version, I dream with an Archive button. Every note I move to this icon will make it not searchable, unless I'm searching inside the Archive View. You could even move a completely Notebook. I have many scenarios where this is valid, some of them here: You finished a graduation course full of notes and you want these notes in a place that you may need but normally it will not be part of your search or have a distract visual in All Notes ViewYou closed a company and want all the notes in a special placeYou may not want to have this Archive notes in your local hard disk, unless you click "Download"You prepare for a vacation and suddenly canceled. You want to have this hide in some place but not displaying all the time. I think it would be a great feature. Thank you, Patrick Santana
Issue: Evernote modifies what you type in the Search box to effectively add an asterisk, which changes the scope of the search from an "exact match" of your term to "starts with". The Evernote Search Grammar states that whatever string is provided to the Search engine requires an exact match. At some unknown, unannounced, time in the past, Evernote changed the behavior of how all EN Clients behave to make what you type to mean "starts with". I understand the benefit of this for some use cases. However, it has some unintended consequences. We are now unable to search for an exact match. The more Notes you have, the bigger the impact this will have on you. For example, I you want to find notes that contain a persons name, say, "Gene", then you would type into the Search Box: geneUnfortunately this finds notes with any word that begins with "gene": general generation generator genetics etc So, your search may return many more Notes than you expect, making it harder to find the one (or the few) you are looking for. This is greatly compounded by the presence of PDF attachments in your notes. PDF files can be hundreds of pages, with thousands, even tens of thousands of words. But, you can't easily see all of these PDF pages. So, you don't know if just "gene" was found somewhere, or if it is a false positive of words that start with "gene". Those of us that have been using computers for years have learned (been taught by experience) that when you are searching for a term, you need to ADD an "*" to the end of the term to match all terms that start with what you type. In my opinion it is easy enough to type one character * when you want to extend the scope from an exact match to starts with. The current behavior is confusing and inconsistent. When you enter an operator in the search box, then it looks ONLY for an exact match. For example, if I typed "tag:gene" then it would find ONLY those Notes with a tag of exactly "gene". It would be much simpler to remember one rule for all cases: exact match unless you add an * So, I would like to request that Evernote change the EN client behavior to be an "exact match" unless the user types an asterisk at the end of the term.
