text: This I Believe This I Believe: Pens and Paper By Kelly Kincaid • Feb 21, 2018 CARTER STALEY / NPR ILLINOIS 91.9 UIS "You've sure changed a lot since freshman year, huh?" This is a question I get asked a fair amount. I usually reply with something along the lines of a polite smile or a laugh. The truth is, I have changed a lot. I've never really told anyone about this except the select few, but I'm almost 18 now, so it's time to come clean and leave this behind me. It's finally time for me to face my fears and embrace who I was no matter how much I didn't like her. Have you ever met a drama queen? You know, that one person who always has to have all the attention on them? A few years ago, I was one of the worst ones out there. And I hated her just as much as everyone else did. This I Believe: Home is Abstract By Trista Lawson • Feb 20, 2018 CARTER STALEY / NPR ILLINOIS 91.9 UIS Growing up, I learned that the words "home" and "house" were synonymous. While the words are similar, I believe that "home" has a more personal, positive connotation. As I grew older, I began to experiment with out-of-the-box concepts and realized that home is not just a location, but rather the people I love and hold near and dear to my heart. This I Believe: The Misconception of Carpe Diem By Shruthi Mekala • Feb 19, 2018 Carter Staley / NPR Illinois 91.9 UIS My family has never been that composed, seemingly perfect clan that always "has it together;" actually, we're that family sneaking in late to church or sprinting through the airport to narrowly make the flight. This I Believe: The American Dream By Anthony Guo • Feb 24, 2017 Carter Staley / NPR Illinois | 91.9 UIS This is the story of a couple of people who were not lucky enough to be born in the land of the free. Instead of accepting their fate, these two people, along with their families, accomplished a goal they never thought possible. This I Believe: Being Fluffy And Fabulous By Katelyn Watts • Feb 23, 2017 Carter Staley / NPR Illinois | 91.9 UIS "Beauty is a state of mind, not a state of the body." Society portrays that in order to be beautiful you have to be skinny and have the perfect body. Women are made to believe this because they cannot help but see it everywhere. This I Believe: Ripping The Band-Aid Off By N'Dea Walls • Feb 22, 2017 Carter Staley / NPR Illinois | 91.9 UIS I believe in ripping the Band-Aid off. The Band-Aid of racial stereotypes that is. This I Believe: That Kid By Hunter Campbell • Feb 21, 2017 Carter Staley / NPR Illinois | 91.9 UIS Everyone is unique in his or her own way, and more often than not they try to hide their distinctive qualities because of the fear that they will be viewed as weird or even as a pariah. Yet I have never found a reason to fear the opinions of others, or a circumstance not to be myself. This I Believe: Insane Sanity By Madelyn Powell • Feb 20, 2017 Carter Staley / NPR Illinois | 91.9 UIS Since the beginning of my life, my mother has been a bit of an odd duck. She isn't crazy, but I wouldn't say she is your normal 50-year-old. She is a high school teacher and is always finding ways to brighten students' days whether by giving them a piece of candy, a kind compliment, or literally sprinkling them with sparkles. This I Believe: The Milky Way Theory By Juliana Fray • Feb 17, 2017 Carter Staley / NPR Illinois | 91.9 UIS My great grandma always loved Milky Way bars. She also loved assuming everyone else liked them, too. I remember her taking them out of her freezer and giving them to me, saying, "Here, eat this," to which I would reply, "No Grandma, I don't like Milky Ways." This I Believe: Superheroes Are Real By Matthew Hill • Feb 16, 2017 Carter Staley / NPR Illinois | 91.9 UIS We all need a hero. A hero is someone that we hold in high esteem, whether it be because they have superhuman strength or make us feel like superhumans with their kind words. " title="<--break-->" class="wysiwyg-break drupal-content"> This I Believe: Trans-cendent By Corey Ratsch • Feb 15, 2017 Carter Staley / NPR Illinois | 91.9 This I Believe: I am who I am. On Oct. 6, 1998, two men attacked Matthew Shepard, a gay college student. They beat him, tied him to a remote fence post outside of Laramie, Wyoming, and left. Shepard died on Oct. 11. His story brought national attention to homophobic violence for the first time. I was born 12 days after Matt died. This I Believe: I AM More Than A Number By Sophia Ashebir • Feb 14, 2017 Carter Staley / NPR Illinios | 91.9 UIS The world is filled with numbers. A bunch of ones and zeroes that make up the world. Numbers that tell you what items are valued at. Numbers that tell us when to wake up. Numbers that tell us what time to go to sleep. Numbers that tell us our rank in society. Numbers that tell us our intelligence level. Numbers are everywhere in the world. This I Believe: The Art Of Tree Hugging By Annie Sherrick • Feb 13, 2017 Carter Staley / NPR Illinois | 91.9 UIS Soil coats my hands and a sun beats down on me. I've spent hours now in the September sun. My pants are covered in mud and I can feel the sunburn start to develop on my shoulders, but as I look back it all seems worth it. Over a hundred piles of turned up earth resides on damp ground. It may not look like much now, but in a decade these trees will tower over our property in a massive forest of powerful oaks. This I Believe: Rotary Club Visits By John McMillan • Mar 8, 2016 Rachel Lattimore / NPR Illinois | 91.9 UIS On March 2, 9, and 16 the selected authors for the This I Believe Illinois essay program read their essays in front of the Rotary Club of Springfield Sunrise.

This I Believe: Hey Black Girl By Ejehi Erewele • Feb 26, 2016 John McMillan / NPR Illinois | 91.9 UIS "Hey, Black Girl! What do you see?" I see she is embellished with gold and lacquered with ivory. In the lush savannah grass, I see where my father's ancestors, the glorious queens and heroic warriors of Nigeria, spilled their beautiful crimson blood to inundate their land. I see Africa varnished in majesty. But she does not want to see me. This I Believe: Don't Fear the Front Row By Isra Hasnain • Feb 24, 2016 John McMillan / NPR Illinois | 91.9 UIS Something I have always noticed, walking into class on the first day of school, is how seats in the back of the room fill up the quickest. Students rush to these spots as if there were free cell phones on their desks. In a way, it's understandable. This I Believe: (Partially) Black Comedy By Matt Brown • Feb 23, 2016 John McMillan / NPR Illinois | 91.9 UIS I believe in comedy. I believe that in every situation, from terrifying to tragic, there's a joke to be made.

This I Believe: Life Needs More Cowbell By Noah Schlosser • Feb 22, 2016 John McMillan / NPR Illinois | 91.9 UIS The world would be better off with more cowbell.

Performed in April of 2000, "More Cowbell" starred Christopher Walken as producer "The Bruce Dickinson" and Will Ferrell as fictional cowbell player Gene Frenkle, along with other SNL cast members as the band Blue Öyster Cult in a parody of their recording session for "(Don't Fear) The Reaper." This I Believe: Dogs Can Learn New Tricks, And Teach Them Too By Janie Sutherd • Feb 19, 2016 John McMillan / NPR Illinois | 91.9 UIS Many people remember when they first laid eyes on a dog or puppy their parents said could be their own. Others don't, because they've had that dog since before they can remember. Whatever the case, if you have one, that fur-baby has surely affected your life for the better. Dogs play such a huge role in human lives. They are our children, our comforters, and undoubtedly more important to some of us than many other things. These things are true for many, myself included. This I Believe: Collecting Bottles By HANNAH MOBLEY • Feb 18, 2016 John McMillan / NPR Illinois | 91.9 UIS I consider myself a strong person, or at least I want to. As the oldest of five children, I've had to keep a tough act, taking responsibility and setting a good example for my siblings. I took pride in myself for being a person who could handle it, even through all the change that happened in my life. Whether it was moving for the eighth time, switching churches again, or starting public high school after six years of homeschooling, my strength pulled me through. Or so I thought. This I Believe: Selfies By Kanicia Green • Feb 17, 2016 John McMillan / NPR Illinois | 91.9 UIS Taking a good selfie isn't the easiest job in the world.

Every short video consists of a newly invented word he explains in depth. One word in particular jumped out at me: sonder. "sonder," n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as yours. This feeling has always been something I have taken note of. This I Believe: A Universal Language By Shelton Cottle • Feb 26, 2015 CREDIT RACHEL LATTIMORE / NPR ILLINOIS | 91.9 UIS One sunny September afternoon, one of my friends and I were searching the farthest reaches of our brains for some activity to keep us occupied. We often played the guitar together, but since the fall weather was so unusually pleasant, we could not just sit in some dingy basement and play to the termites in the rafters. We decided to take our music to the great outdoors; specifically, our town square.

This I Believe: Unique Flavors By Kanisha Granderson • Feb 24, 2015 Rachel Lattimore / NPR Illinois | 91.9 UIS I believe in ice cream. Different flavors, different colors and smells. Some taste good and some not so good. The happiness you get when you find the flavor you like. The first bite and joy. I loved the flavor Jamoca. It was my favorite. Its coffee taste, brown color and smell - so deeply good. I wanted to try something new. I tried butter pecan. It was the new best. Its vanilla coating, walnuts on top and inside. I had switched. Like the click of a light switch but I wasn't always so comfortable or confident about trying new things. This I Believe: Travel And Learning Cultures Bring Us Closer By Tess Peterson • Feb 23, 2015 Rachel Lattimore / NPR Illinois | 91.9 UIS I love to travel. At 17, I have visited more than 40 states.

This week's featured research article has just been published in Sustainability Science and develops a framework for assessing blue carbon storage in coastal ecosystems.
Efforts to incorporate blue carbon, the carbon associated with marine ecosystems, into carbon accounting and carbon markets are increasing. To fully leverage the capacity of marine ecosystems to sequester carbon requires information to guide prioritisation of coastal landscapes for conservation and regeneration.A comprehensive landscape-scale assessment of mangrove and saltmarsh blue carbon requires information regarding vegetation cover, sedimentological and geomorphological factors. This information should also be integrated with socio-economic factors that alter natural processes of blue carbon accumulation and storage.
The purpose of this study was to provide a framework for undertaking a first-pass assessment of blue carbon storage, preservation, generation and permanency in coastal landscapes, and to incorporate socio-economic factors that will influence blue carbon storage in coastal landscapes. This was achieved using readily available datasets that were analysed using a raster-based approach to develop a proxy indication of biophysical and socio-economic factors relevant for mangrove and saltmarsh blue carbon.
The approach demonstrated that large catchments were associated with areas highly suitable for blue carbon storage, preservation, generation and permanency. Small catchments associated with mature barrier estuaries had the highest proportional area that provides potential blue carbon ecosystem services and climate mitigation benefits. The qualitative approach used does not replace high-resolution quantitative assessments of blue carbon storage, flux and detailed site-specific assessment of socio-economic factors that may influence blue carbon services; however, it can be used to guide prioritisation of blue carbon landscapes for further assessment prior to conservation and/or regeneration.

The Best Way to Teach Your Kids to Bake
by Margie Manion
Baking with your children is something that always sounds really good, but then when you are in the middle of it you're not feeling the joy.
Baking with your kids provides a time for learning, creativity, and connection.
The key is to approach it in the right way.
Set aside all expectations of perfection when it comes to your cookies and your kitchen floor! Here are some tips that will help you
Get all of your ingredients ahead of time so that you can pull it out on a snow day or weekend. Depending on the age of your children, you know they only have an attention span for so long no matter what you are doing, I suggest not making the dough, or making it ahead of time. There are so many great products of "ready-made dough"- take advantage. The best part is cutting out shapes and decorating anyway!
Get everything out that you will need ahead of time (cookie cutters, colors of icing, and a variety of decorations) in separate bowls. Kids love choices. The more choices, the better. You can have sprinkles, chocolate chips, candies, pretzel piece, and whatever else you desire. For younger children, go ahead and have the cookies already baked!
Take the opportunity to teach and model while you are baking. For older children, it can be measuring and mixing colors. For younger children, it can be as easy as counting the number of eyes and buttons you put on your snowman cookie. Teachable moments aren't always academic. Take the time to talk to your kids and find out what is going on in "their world".
Provide and separate container for each child. It is okay that they don't want their cookies mixed in with a sibling's. That means they took ownership in what they were creating. Watch for the smile on their faces when a grandmother or neighbor comes over and they are able to offer them one of their cookies!
I hope these tips make your "cookie baking day" a tradition in your family. I still get together with my mom and make Christmas cookies. It is easy to skip things that seem like they would be a lot of extra work, but your kids look forward to it in the years to come!

Margie wants you to know that, "I am very passionate about what I do. I know that parenting is the hardest and most important job in the world! I would like to reach as many parents as possible to help them to take extra steps to make their parenting experience a positive one! There is no such thing as the "perfect parent" it is an ongoing process and it is never to late to try something new!"

Bionic Pants is a New Technology Solution For Exhaustion2 min read
Have you ever heard of Bionic Pants jeans?
Indeed, they really exist and they are good enough to give it a try.
yet, these jeans don't generally give you a chance to do anything superhuman, but will simply let you settle down anyplace without a seat.
That's not all
Bionic Pants, also called "Chairless Chairs"
Fortune acclaims wearable seats as the best decision for "one basic assignment: sitting".
The researchers behind the advancement of wearable seats dependably had the best ergonomic interests of the wearer at the top of the priority list when developing such an item.
how can you actually use this?
The thought of chairless seats sprang from the developing appreciation for the assistive exoskeleton advertise.
Those in specialty science fields have been searching for approaches to create bionic and mechanical gadgets, machines, and wearables that can help individuals in an assortment of ways.
Some therapeutic gatherings, for instance, have created robot-like legs to enable incapacitated individuals to move, making the world a more portable and free place for those hoping to enhance their personal satisfaction.
Others imagined bits of apparatus that individual distribution center specialists can use to have the capacity to lift more things on the double, and to oblige more weight without putting the worker through unsafe conditions.
A Swiss organization by the name of chairless chairs seized the chance to become famous in this new bionics market, and they had one thought as a top priority: Making it less demanding for individuals to sit without the requirement for a seat.
A few workspaces are swarmed or scrambled, making it hard to oblige space for a seat.
Workers in these spaces are compelled to stand throughout the day, now and then for up to ten hours on end, radiating physical work in non-ergonomic positions.
These people would profit incredibly from the capacity to sit in an ergonomic seat, which would enhance their well being and make it less demanding for them to accomplish their employments all the more proficiently.
The benefits of Bionic Pants (Chairless Chairs)
The main role of chairless chairs is to help workers with deficiencies to contribute in the working environment, there are many benefits of chairless chairs including:
Expelling load from the legs
Permitting a situated or standing stance
Possibly decreasing exhaustion from remaining for drawn out stretches of time
Useable in zones where a conventional seat won't fit
Outwardly, the bionic Pants jeans simply seem to resemble a plastic edge.
It comes furnished with different ties and backings that the individual wears on their body, keeping them upright yet agreeable.
It is simple for a specialist to move around and perform diverse errands without feeling hampered by the gadget.

Has Halloween lost its spirit?
As a kid, Halloween was the holiday. Dressing up, pumpkin carving, house decorations, scary stories, Halloween movies ("Hocus Pocus," please), and of course, going door to door dropping one-liners for free candy in exchange was enough to get excited about. Now, I may have been a little over-excited for this holiday, but then again, at the time, what kid wasn't? I ritualized Halloween, and refused to go trick-or-treating with anyone other than my dad for admittedly way too many years. In time, I went trick-or-treating with friends instead, but still a dedicated participant nonetheless.
Nowadays, the Halloween "spirit" and tradition has shifted. Of course, there are still costumes and candy involved, but as years go on, the cut off age to trick-or-treat is declining. Children who do trick-or-treat have become scarce, and costumes lack the scare factor of the Halloween spirit.
The reasons for this are far and wide, but there are a few that may be responsible.
Myths about Halloween, such as the presence of ghosts and skeletons, have become absurd. These fictitious stories are seldom believed by kids nowadays; that little bit of fear that made the holiday so fun has vanished and been replaced by a discerning eye roll of disbelief. What is Halloween without its haunting tales?
No one demonstrated it better than Lindsay Lohan in "Mean Girls." Unacquainted with the newly emerged Halloween culture, she dresses up as an "ex-wife" (sporting a wedding dress, unappealing fake teeth, and blood). Arriving at a Halloween party she realizes Halloween was a bit different than she was accustomed to.
"In the real world, Halloween is when kids dress up in costumes and beg for candy. In 'Girl World,' Halloween is the one day a year when a girl can dress up like a total slut and no other girls can say anything else about it," said Lohan's character in the film. This doesn't only apply to girls, though; boys dress up as cops, football players, and generally attire unrelated to Halloween. Even for younger kids, costumes have become more sexualized and fashionable.
Teens aren't the only demographic participating in Halloween themed parties; today, parents have become skeptical and concerned about child safety and replaced trick-or-treating with indoor festivities. Paranoia grew with mass media-inflamed stories of candy being poisoned or containing hidden razor blades and has led parents to opt out of the activity altogether.
SMC student Sarah Winick admits she wishes she could still go trick-or-treating.
"It was so much fun but it would look like the weirdest thing in the world because trick-or-treating isn't really in anymore. My little sister doesn't even go because everyone's worried about being kidnapped and stuff," said Winick.
It seems like trick-or-treating has become a chore; the care-free fun it once was is long gone--even in online discussions and news articles it's recommended to have reflective gear and rape whistles. Fear of kids knocking on a strangers door sweeps the nation, stranger danger is more alive than ever. To be fair, that's a questionable idea to say the least, but it is Halloween, that what you're supposed to do. However, there are times when unfortunate things do happen. Precaution is never a bad thing but it's gotten a little extreme. All these rules and warnings could easily take the fun out of anything.
Needless to say, my Halloween experiences as a kid are far from what I see today. It's unfortunate to see such a drastic change in something that was once so fun and festive. Sinister thoughts attached to Halloween really put a damper on its tradition. All things change over time, so it's not surprising things are done a bit differently. But the majority of reasons behind the adjustment are a little too terror-stricken, and not in the Halloween way.

The ego exists on misery – the more misery the more nourishment for it. In blissful moments the ego totally disappears, and vice versa: if the ego disappears, bliss starts showering on you. If you want the ego, you cannot forgive, you cannot forget – particularly the hurts, the wounds, the insults, the humiliations, the nightmares. Not only that you cannot forget, you will go on exaggerating them, you will emphasize them. You will tend to forget all that has been beautiful in your life, you will not remember joyous moments; they serve no purpose as far as the ego is concerned. Joy is like poison to the ego, and misery is like vitamins.
You will have to understand the whole mechanism of the ego. If you try to forgive, that is not real forgiveness. With effort, you will only repress. You can forgive only when you understand the stupidity of the whole game that goes on within your mind. The total absurdity of it all has to be seen through and through, otherwise you will repress from one side and it will start coming from another side. You will repress in one form; it will assert in another form – sometimes so subtle that it is almost impossible to recognize it, that it is the same old structure, so renovated, refurnished, redecorated, that it looks almost new.

Come with me and you'll be in a world of Pure Imagination. What you'll see will defy explanation. If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it. Anything you want to, do it. Want to change the world? There's nothing to it….Willy Wonka
I woke up this morning to the sad news that the comic genius Gene Wilder had passed away. He had a huge back catalogue of brilliant acting and comedic roles, yet to a vast majority of the world, he was simply Willy Wonka, the man who piqued the imagination of childhood.
I was 10 when the movie was made, but I didn't see it until I was an adult. I didn't really ever go to the cinema as a child, so it just never crossed my path. When I had children of my own and wanted them to be inspired by books, the way I was, I discovered the bizarre world of Roald Dahl which led to finally watching the classic Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory with them.
From the moment I walked with the other kids into that room, filled with chocolate rivers, edible flowers and lickable wallpaper, I fell in love. Not only with Willy Wonka himself and his lonely soul but with the world of Pure Imagination he introduced us to. He was good and evil all rolled into one character. He wasn't the sweet charming heroes we had been fed all our lives. He was a delightful blend of light and shadow, of nice and nasty, of sweetness and scariness.
While I watched it, my imagination came back to life. It had lay dormant for many years at that time, but suddenly, it woke up and demanded attention again. I don't know about you, but when he took the winners and their families on that boat ride, I was terrified. He became completely insane at that moment and I was as scared as the kids. When he yelled at Charlie and told him he wasn't getting the factory because he'd disobeyed the rules, I was angry at him. But when he shared his vision of the factory with the visitors, I shared his joy and his passion.
The movie brought imagination to life in such a powerful way that today the world is mourning, not just Gene Wilder but Willy Wonka himself. (sorry, Johnny Depp just didn't cut it). Listening to the words of Pure Imagination, it's so appropriate for today. The world is paradise if we just look for it. And we can change the world if we want to. Gene Wilder did just that. Rest in Peace with your beloved Gilda, Gene.. Vale Willy Wonka. You will be alive in the hearts and imaginations of not just those already enamoured with your portrayal of Willy Wonka, but many generations yet to be enthralled.

A Garden Close to the Heart
8 comments:
What a beautiful, beautiful story, Jennifer and Joanna's gardens are equally beautiful.ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for sharing this here.
Lovely garden & story ... I'm always grateful to have a garden, it brings such joy..ReplyDelete
What a wonderful story of a gardener and her yearnings since she was a child growing up in such a restricted life in early Poland. To have it unfold in Canada is perfect despite our winters.ReplyDelete
My favorite spots are the pots hidden in the wood and that beautiful stream/pond.
To have frogs living and singing there ... well that would be my own dream too.
That book is such an integral part of of her garden ambition .. a beautiful childhood memory from her parents understanding how much she wanted those open spaces and greenery. She must be so happy !..
I too am grateful for the little gardens I have .. it is a tie to nature you never take for granted or forget.
Lovely story Jennifer !
Even before reading your comments, I knew I could say no more than, what a beautiful story.ReplyDelete
I love this posting, Jennifer. Your words and pictures do justice to a beautiful garden and a lovely gardener who talks about gratitude so eloquently. P. xReplyDelete
The garden is as beautiful and vibrant as Joanna. Thank you for telling the story so well.ReplyDelete
paradise for soul and heartReplyDelete

Simple Aquatic Science Practices by AyerMatahari
AyerMatahari has wide experiences in design and implement services for water gardens, lakes and some selective landscape projects. We also gained knowledge from freshwater aquaculture projects in our earlier years.
Our design concept and approach focus on eco-friendly aspects and self-sustainabillity elements without the application of toxic chemicals nor any expensive products or components.
We believe in the knowledge of aquatic ecology and its application which are vital for a successful implementation of a water-based projects to achieve its natural and self-sustainable state from an artifical creation.
Management of water bodies is all knowledge and not a product.
1. We design and provide consultation for garden ponds, lakes and water features.
2. We design and install the bio-filtration system for ponds.
3. We design craft and sculptures for gardens.
4. We practice domestic aquaculture our ways, the "ayer-culture garden" way.
5. We design garden concepts the eco-friendly way.
We travel for a reason, "... to get work done."

Sighing for the Substance. Luke 14. 22; John 6. 53
J. Hart L.M.
Pity a helpless sinner, Lord,
Who would believe thy gracious word,
But own my heart, with shame and grief,
A sink of sin and unbelief.
Lord, in thy house I read there's room,
And, venturing hard, behold I come;
But can there, tell me, can there be
Amongst thy children room for me?
I eat the bread, and drink the wine;
But oh! my soul wants more than sign!
I faint unless I feed on thee,
And drink the blood as shed for me.
For sinners, Lord, thou cam'st to bleed;
And I'm a sinner vile indeed;
Lord, I believe, thy grace is free,
O magnify that grace in me.

Next week I'll be playing along with Ali Edwards's Week in the Life, one of my very favorite memory keeping projects. This project challenges you to capture your everyday life and routines for a week. I love it because it encourages me to tell stories and capture moments that never would have otherwise been documented. And, because my camera is nearby pretty much all week, I end up capturing real gems just because I am documenting with intention.
Because this project can be complicated if you let it, I've approached it with the mantra Repeat What Works.
I will be trying out a few things differently this time around, like playing with photo sizes and using typed journaling in order to get more into less space. However, for the most part, I'm sticking with the tried and true methods I've used in the past that help me successfully complete this project in a way I love.
Here's what I'm doing again:
I'm putting Week in the Life in my Project Life album.
Pocket scrapbooking is my go-to for memory keeping, and I like that I can contain my story as a whole in these albums. I love that a double page spread 12×12 allows me to show a full day at a glance. I like making minibooks too, so I'm saving the album from the kit for another project.
I'm focusing a day on each family member.
For 2013 and 2014, I documented one family member for four of the days, then focused on the family as a whole for the weekend. This time I'll be repeating that strategy, documenting each of us individually Monday through Friday, then telling whole family stories on Sunday and Saturday.
This method helps me to capture each person's routine, because we are all different, and helps me to limit the amount of documenting I'm doing each day, rather than trying to document every little thing.
For next week, I've chosen a day for each family member that will make sense with the week's schedule. For example, Eliza's day will be Tuesday because it's her first day of school.
I'm expanding when needed.
I love that Ali is choosing the week for me, because I don't have to worry about trying to find a "typical" or "representative" week. (Though I am starting Sunday rather than Monday, because my weekly pocket scrapbooking spreads run from Sunday-Saturday.)
Sometimes I'm not really documenting the everyday with Week in the Life, I'm documenting a special day. Last year, Week in the Life fell the week of Jake's birthday, Halloween, our city's team in the World Series, and the start of Catch Up with Project Life, which I taught at Big Picture. I love capturing the everyday moments and the special ones together on these days, but I'm not afraid to expand when needed by adding an insert or making an extra spread to accommodate more stories.
I'm using a self timer.
It is important that I'm not behind the camera the entire time during this project. I make ample use of the self timer on my phone camera and DSLR throughout the week (but especially on the day I document myself individually). Some of my favorite photos that are recurring in this project, like my family around the dinner table or my kids snuggled up with me reading a book, are captured this way.
Sometimes I get out the tripod, but other times I have to get creative by stacking books on a table to get the camera at the right height for a picture or coming up with strange concoctions to hold up my phone. (Putting a phone in a cup works!)
I'm keeping it simple.
These spreads tend to be a lot less embellished than my other pocket spreads. That's partially because I need to leave room for all of the extra photos and journaling and partially because I don't want to dedicate the time to make these spreads fancy. I want to get it done!
Last year, I combined the cards and a few embellishments from the Week in the Life kit with journaling cards from various Project Life core kits. This worked great, and I'll be repeating this simple approach this year!
I'm giving a heads up.
My family and my friends get a heads up before Week in the Life so they know what to expect while I'm in the documentation phase of the project. I figure it's common curtsey to give people a chance to opt-out and to make sure they have a chance to be comfortable with their appearance before I start shutterbugging away. I don't want to catch anyone off guard! And, almost always, once someone learns what the project is about, they want to be part of it even if they don't usually like getting their photo taken.
This time around, partially because of time and partially because our foster baby is in 80% of our pictures, I'm going to be writing detailed journaling about each day in a text document and will just be sharing highlights here. And obviously, I won't be sharing the baby's day here at all.
I'm excited to start documenting a Week in the Life this Sunday!
That's what works for me, I'd love to hear what works for you!

Increasing Test Cell Throughput:
Multitest adds "Super-Sharp" option to Quad Tech probes
Multitest Super-Sharp Option for Quad Tech probes provides an increase in test cell throughput and maintains the fidelity of the test signal over longer uninterrupted run times for higher yields. Multitest makes these advantages available to customers at no additional cost.
The Super-Sharp feature option is an increase in the sharpness of the probe tip while making the probe tip surface smoother. Super-Sharp advantages for the customer include increased run times between contactor cleaning, increased probe life, increased yield, and reduced system down time for contactor maintenance.
A cleaner piercing of surface oxides improves the interconnect quality of the probe to the device under test. Most notable is the improved repeatability of contact resistance over longer uninterrupted run times for increased cycle counts and yield between cleaning. The smooth surface of a Super-Sharp probe does not fill with solder as fast as the not so smooth surfaces of traditional probes. The smoother surface of the Super-Sharp probes help to improve test cell performance as measured by less system down time for cleaning, improved system up time with an increased number of parts tested between cleaning.
Senior Product Manager Bert Brost says "We apply advanced spring probe metrology and finishing to manufacture this innovative probe type, which is in direct response to the customers constant need to improve throughput in test."
The Super-Sharp Option is available for Mercury, Gemini, Kelvin and Atlas.

Before you decide:
I'm sure you have heard the saying "if it sounds too good to be true it probably is". This rings true in the wedding DJ realm and I recommend being cautious if you are strictly price shopping. There are several reasons some companies charge a little more than others. Some of the reasons may concern you more than others but I feel it's worth mentioning because even if you decide to go with another company I want to ensure you are making an informed decision. Some of the reasons why a company may charge more are, higher quality equipment.. better speakers and better microphones that deliver more reliable and accurate sound reproduction, we purchase music legally…high quality MP3s instead of ripping/stealing music off youtube which has terrible audio quality. We are a legal, professional and insured businesses that have hidden expenses required to maintain a consistent long term entity. We take the time to have multiple consultations with couples to fine tune the music you want at your event. We will actually show up, on time and have back up plans in place for the rare emergency or equipment failures. We have built up the demand from a history of great service with past clients and command a higher price because they know we do it better.
Now with all that in mind we realize everyone has a limit as to how much they can spend on something. For example if someone approached me and said, "I can lease you a Rolls Royce for $1000 a month"…regardless of how great of a deal that is or how much I wanted to drive that Rolls Royce it wouldn't matter because I could still not afford it. Now with a wedding the DJ winds up being X% of the total costs. If you find yourself trying to trim a few hundred dollars off the DJ in favor of fancy table center pieces or flower arrangements, please reconsider. The DJ is one of the most important aspects of any event and especially a wedding. The real pro will help guide the timeline of the day and provide a memorable experience that your guests will be talking about for years.

Peterborough Association for the Blind calls out for votes to bag a share of Tesco's bag fund!
Tesco teamed up with Groundwork to launch its community funding scheme, which sees grants of £4,000, £2,000 and £1,000 raised from carrier bag sales in Tesco stores awarded to local community projects.
Three groups in every Tesco region have been shortlisted to receive the cash award and shoppers are being invited to head along to Tesco stores to vote for who they think should take away the top grant.
Peterborough Association for the Blind is one of the groups on the shortlist!
The money raised will go towards ensuring we can fund our twice monthly coffee morning and our monthly craft club locations, both of which are vital to members. Not only do they combat loneliness and isolation they also provide a social network for people.
Voting is open in all Tesco stores in July and August and customers will cast their vote using a token given to them at the check-out in store each time they shop.
PAB will feature in the following stores:
- Tesco Extra, Serpentine Green, Hampton, Peterborough, PE7 8BD
- Tesco Metro, Hereward Cross, Central Peterborough, PE1 1TA
- Tesco Express, Oundle Road, Peterborough, PE2 9PJ
- Tesco Express, Stanground, Peterborough, PE2 8RJ
- Tesco Express, Orton Wistow, Peterborough, PE2 6XN
Tesco's Bags of Help project has already delivered over £52 million to more than 16,000 projects up and down the UK. Tesco customers get the chance to vote for three different groups every time they shop. Every other month, when votes are collected, three groups in each of Tesco's regions will be awarded funding.
Alec Brown, Head of Community at Tesco, said:
"Bags of Help has been a fantastic success and we've been overwhelmed by the response from customers. It's such a special scheme because it's local people who decide how the money will be spent in their community. There are some fantastic projects on the shortlists and we can't wait to see these come to life in hundreds of communities."
Groundwork's National Chief Executive, Graham Duxbury, said:
"Bags of Help continues to enable local communities up and down the UK to improve the local spaces and places that matter to them. The diversity of projects that are being funded shows that local communities have a passion to create something great in their area. We are pleased to be able to be a part of the journey and provide support and encouragement to help local communities thrive."
Funding is available to community groups and charities looking to fund local projects that bring benefits to communities. Anyone can nominate a project and organisations can apply online. To find out more visit www.tesco.com/bagsofhelp.

Maybe you're thinking of starting up your own F&B outlet… maybe you've gotten even further than just wanting to start something, and you've got some ideas about what you want to do that you think are great. But you'll need to be able to articulate these ideas to take your dreams into reality. Here are some easy ways for you to refine your thoughts and lock down a stronger concept before you take the plunge.
Think about the places you frequent
There are probably a few places you frequent, whether alone or with your friends. Why do you visit these places? Maybe it's the ease of access and convenient parking, or it's the quiet atmosphere in the evenings. It could be the interesting menu, a particular dish that you like, or simply great prices.
List out all the things you like and pick a few – remember, you can't have it all. Tweak your idea to see if it fits these key factors.
Think about places you don't visit or don't like
It is useful to put yourself in the position of a diner and think about what prevents you from revisiting an F&B outlet. What makes a place uncomfortable? Inconvenient? Unpleasant? Or simply unremarkable?
Again, check back that your idea does not fall into one of these categories and the steps you want to take the prevent it from becoming that way.
Research for similar concepts
Don't just stick to your existing experience and knowledge base. Look into places that have similar ideas to what you want. It's easy for someone to know they want to sell chicken and have live music – those details alone do not make up a good concept – what other places sell chicken and offer live music? Or maybe places that do really well in either one? These could be your future competitors, so find out what online reviews say about these places, their prices and their menu. Or, the idea could have existed and failed, so find out why!
Visit interesting outlets
There's nothing like finding out for yourself. Read up on the latest popular dining spots and find out where new F&B outlets are setting up. Visit the interesting and popular places you find during your research process. You never know what ideas you might get from them!
Be brave enough to bounce ideas
Ask, ask and ask! At the very least, your friends and family members will be able to feedback what they like or don't. Consider talking to service staff, chefs or other F&B business owners to learn more about their work hours and the areas they find challenging. You might be surprised by the insights they can share, and who knows, you might just find people you can potentially work with in the future!

Common myths about the Big 4
We sat down with Helen Bobbitt, Graduate Talent Acquisition Manager from KPMG, to get her take on what it is — and isn't — really like to work for one of the Big 4.
Which companies make up the Big 4?
The Big 4 are the four largest professional services firms offering audit and assurance, tax and advisory (consulting) services to clients. The Big 4 are KPMG, EY, Deloitte and PwC.
Can you tell us what is and isn't true about working for a Big 4?
We don't… just hire accountants/accounting/commerce students.
We do… hire graduates from all degree backgrounds into grad roles in Audit, Tax and Advisory groups. This is great as it leads to diversity of thought and innovative solutions for our clients. Some of our new graduates have degrees in IT/Technology, Science, Engineering, Pharmacy, Maths, Communications, Environmental & Biological Science, Sociology, Arts and Politics to name a few.
We aren't... just auditors.
We are… a business comprised of Audit, Tax and Enterprise, but this isn't all we do. Advisory (Management Consulting, Risk Consulting and Deal Advisory) is around 50% of our business and rapidly growing.
We don't… expect long hours every day, and you're not expected to stay in the office until your manager leaves just to show that you're there.
We do… prioritise work/life balance and wellbeing, and our new agile way of working also supports this. We do work longer hours from time to time when a project is coming to a close or we're close to a client deadline, but that's it. For example, if you've had to work late on a project, you may agree to work from home the next day. KPMG isn't about "facetime".
It's not… competitive. This isn't the case at all.
It is… very collaborative, KPMG has a team-based culture. We support each other to get the work done. You'll always be working as part of a team to achieve goals/outcomes. The people I work with and support I've had to progress my career are some of the key reasons I'm still at KPMG after 10 years.
We don't… only look at grade transcripts and degree discipline.
We do… look for grads that have studied a variety of degree disciplines, not just commerce. While a credit average is important, it's not the only thing we look at. We're really looking at a candidate's application as a whole, and different candidates have different strengths — there certainly isn't a hard and fast check list of things we look for.
What do KPMG look for?
In general, the key things we look for are:
- People who have strong career motivation and are passionate about what they want to do.
- Candidates can articulate why they are applying to KPMG over other firms and show an understanding of the role they would be doing and how this helps them achieve their career goals.
- People with excellent communication skills and the ability to build strong relationships with clients and colleagues.
- People who can demonstrate natural leadership, with a strong ability to influence and collaborate in a team environment.
- Strong problem solving and strategic thinking skills are also vital. We're looking for innovative thinkers who aren't afraid to challenge things.

Wide necked anterior communicating artery aneurysm represent a subset of lesions with challenging endovascular treatment despite new endoluminal and intrasaccular devices.
Woven EndoBridge (WEB) treatment of anterior communicating artery aneurysms requires a favorable angle between the long axis of the aneurysm and that of the parent vessel (A1 segment of the anterior cerebral artery) as reported by Lubicz et al 1).
The aim of a study was to investigate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of the Woven EndoBridge (WEB) WEB Dual-Layer and WEB Single-Layer devices for the treatment of wide necked aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery.
Patients with anterior communicating artery aneurysms treated with the WEB device between June 2013 and March 2014 in 5 French centers were analyzed. Procedural success, technical complications, clinical outcome at 1 month, and immediate and 3- to 6-month angiographic follow-up results were analyzed.
Ten patients with unruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysms with a mean neck diameter of 5.4 mm were treated with the WEB. Treatment failed in 3 of the 10 aneurysms without further clinical complications. One patient developed a procedural thromboembolic event, and the other 6 had normal neurologic examination findings at 1-month follow-up. Immediate anatomic outcome evaluation showed adequate occlusion (total occlusion or neck remnant) in 6 of 7 patients. Angiographic control was obtained in all patients, including 6 adequate aneurysm occlusions (3 complete occlusions and 3 neck remnants) at short-term follow-up.
In our small series, treatment of wide-neck anterior communicating artery aneurysms with the WEB device was feasible and safe. However, patient selection based on the aneurysm and initial angiographic findings in the parent artery is important due to the limitations of the WEB device navigation 2).
Between January 2005 and February 2008, stent-assisted coiling was performed in 21 patients with wide-neck AcomA aneurysms. Patient demographics, aneurysm morphology, procedures, and clinical and angiographic outcomes were retrospectively reviewed.
Successful deployment of the stent in the targeted artery was achieved in all patients. Nineteen Neuroform 2 or Neuroform 3 stents and 2 LEO stents were used. The distal segment of the stent was positioned in the ipsilateral A2 in 12 patients, in the contralateral A2 across the AcomA in 5 patients, and into the aneurysm sac in 4 patients. Complete occlusion was achieved in 18 patients; near-complete occlusion, in 2 patients; and partial occlusion, in 1 patient. Intraoperative perforation of the aneurysm developed in 1 patient, which was secured by subsequent coiling. Angiographic follow-up in 12 patients for 6.9 months showed 1 recanalization and no in-stent stenosis 3).

How to Identify Your Brand's Seasonal Sweet Spot
There are certain times of the year when your fashion business will thrive. This is your seasonal sweet spot. For swimwear it's in the summer, knitwear in the winter and if you design items that fit into a particular moment in popular culture such as evening clutches, then awards season is just one period of the year when you should focus on celebrity outreach for red carpet exposure.
Designers like Sarah Canner of Vespertine, a New York-based company that makes fashionable reflective bikewear is in her moment. Her line consists of easy-to-wear and ride in pieces that provide cyclists with illuminating looks on the street and range from dresses to fashionable vests and accessories likes belts and bow ties.
As part of National Bike Month this May, there are many events and initiatives in New York such as the Citi Bike Share program that helps Vespertine thrive. Sarah told us that she's seen a bump in sales during this season from the direct-to-consumer channel.
Like Sarah, in these seasons, you'll want to leverage all of the ways that you can promote your business. This way, you can be relevant to your audience, connect with a larger group of users and also be a source of news for media outlets such as magazines and blogs that are looking for timely stories.
Here's how to identify your sweet spot:
Ask yourself these questions:
- When are my products best used?
- What time of year do you or can you sell the most?
- Does your product fit with a special occasion?
- At what time of year can your target get the most out of your products?
- Can your products be given as gifts?
Consider leveraging these moments for your brand:
- Seasons - Fall, winter, spring and summer are important milestones. Seasons signify change, reinvention, fresh starts and often come with new wardrobes, different color stories and styles.
- Destinations - Spring break, seasonal travel and getaways usually involve shopping for functional items like swimwear or feel-good items such as a new summer dress.
- Holidays - Fourth of July, Christmas, Mother's Day, Memorial Day and Labor day are times people are wearing colorful outfits, new styles and want to look good at events.
- Milestones and occasions - Graduation, weddings, baby showers are not only times where people get dressed up, but are times when people give gifts and an opportunity to sell more and even consider special packaging for an easier sale.
- Retail cycles - Back to school and holiday are two of many important times on the retail calendar and knowing a stores sweet spot is just as important as knowing yours.

Homework exercises
1) Test PRand using the TestU01 test suite (e.g. Little Crush or Big Crush).
2) Create and test a variant of PRand eg. D2(A2l), and compare with the test results from PRand.
3) Apply the Chi-squared test (as described in Thomas, Luk, Leong and Villasenor 2007 : 11 – 25) to a random samples generated by
· NRand() (PRand + Moro)
· NormSInv(Rand())
and compare the results. This exercise can be done in Excel.
4) Compute a bounding rectangle B for the acceptance region A for the ratio-of-uniforms method applied to the normal distribution.
5) Generate 100 standard normal random variables using the ratio-of-uniforms method, and test for normality, using
· The Jacques-Bera test
· The Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test.
6) Generate 100 standard normal random variables using the Moro or Wichura transforms, and test for normality, using
· The Jacques-Bera test
· The Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test.
Compare the test results and the computation time with the ratio-of-uniforms method.
7) Write a program to generate a list of random option parameters Type, S, K, r, σ, T as follows:
· Call with probability 0.5, put with probability 0.5.
· r ~ U[0,0.10] with probability 0.8, r = 0 with probability 0.2
· σ ~ U[0.1,0.6]
· T ~ U[0.1,1] with probability 0.75, T ~ U[1,5] with probability 0.75
Each line should contain the parameters for one option, separated by commas (CSV format).
8) Write a program to value vanilla European options (calls and puts), using the PRand random number generator and the Moro transformation. The program should read option parameters from a file, and print a value for each option.
9) Extend the previous program to optionally output a convergence table. We will call this VanillaOption.
10) If you want a programming challenge, implement a GUI interface for VanillaOption. Call it VanillaOptionG.
11) Using VanillaOption, value a European call option S0 = 100, r = 5% , q = 1%, σ = 20%, and T = 1, with a confidence interval of ±1 cents (i.e. ±0.01).
12) Amend VanillaOption1 to implement antithetic variables. Call this the VanillaOptionAV.
13) Apply VanillaOptionAV to value the European call option with a confidence interval of ±1 cents (i.e. ±0.01).

**Disclaimer: this post was written while the author was experiencing a quite severe dose of Bank Holiday weekend #FOMO and running injury induced blues. As always, all rants, raves and opinions represent my own views. Other (far superior) less opinionated and negative running blogs are available**
Rave: the Olympics
Like the vast majority of people I follow on social media I loved the 2016 Olympics. Unfortunately, some of my family spent the two weeks complaining about sports taking over the BBC, I told them to get a grip. Although due to my obsession with getting more sleep, I had to miss loads of the athletics finals, I still managed to watch most of my favourite sports. I loved watching people who had clearly worked incredibly hard achieving their goals. I loved the break from all of the negativity in the press.My Rio 2016 highlights included Mo Farah doing the double, Simone Biles seemingly defying gravity, the Brownlee brothers winning gold and silver, Andy Murray winning a second gold medal and one of my favourite athletes – Ruth Beita – winning gold in the high jump. However, my number one highlight was watching Nick Skelton win a gold medal in the individual show jumping.
Rant: pavement works
Regular readers of my blog will have noticed that I've been spending a lot of time training for the Great Birmingham Run. Like most runners I'm quite predictable and have a favourite running route. The route is relatively flat – unusual for Four Oaks – and usually very quiet. Having some posh houses and bungalows to admire while I'm running is an added bonus.
Imagine my horror when I recently discovered that my favourite route had been converted into an urban assault course. Huge sections of the pavement had been fenced off leaving me with no other option but to run in the road.
I quickly discovered that temporary yellow plastic covers are really, really slippery when they are wet. Huge sections of the pavements in Four Oaks have been out of action for over two months now. Only this morning I noticed a new section of my favourite route had been marked up ready for the diggers to move in. I'm rapidly running out of places to safely complete my early morning runs!
Rave: Up & Running Birmingham
Although Birmingham is supposedly quite a large city, the absence of stores such as Nike, Lululemon, Sweatshop and Sweaty Betty mean that there are very few free organised training sessions. In London I could theoretically attend training runs and gym classes for free several times a week. In Birmingham, if I want to run with others or attend a yoga session I have to pay.
Earlier this year Up & Running Birmingham organised a series of free Night Runs. Unfortunately I was coming back from injury and only managed to attend one session. As you can imagine I was thrilled when I discovered that Up & Running Birmingham are in the process of setting up a Social Run with Great Run Anytime.
I'm definitely going to attend the launch party on September 5th. I might even treat my niggles to a physio assessment and a 5k run around the centre of Birmingham.
Rant: niggles
I've now reached week nine of my half marathon training – only another seven to go. At the moment I have a painful right knee, a sore left foot and slightly sore to the touch shins. As my half marathon training has got more challenging, I've developed an unhealthy obsession with sports injury books and have turned into a hypochondriac. I genuinely have no idea if I'll be able to run a half marathon in October.
Rave: new trainers
After an unsuccessful shopping trip while I was in London last week, I tracked down some Adrenalines in the Sweatshop sale. I'm now the proud owner of a new pair of Adrenalines in a slightly dodgy colour. I love the smell of new trainers – does that make me strange?I just need to find some mud now!
Rave: St Ives harbour webcam
And finally, I've done enough moaning so I've added a bonus rave. I live approximately eight miles to the north of the UK's most landlocked city, Birmingham. The closest beach to Birmingham is over 100 miles away at Weston-super-Mare. I couldn't live much further away from the coast! During the last couple of weeks I've become slightly obsessed with watching the St Ives harbour webcam. I clearly really need a holiday!
If you've reached the end of my latest random selection of rants and raves, I'm seriously impressed.
Apologies for the very random blog, hopefully my next post will actually feature some running.

Major push launches for Guinness Extra Cold
Guinness GB is to put major promotional backing behind Guinness Extra Cold, a super-chilled version of the stout brand, for the first time this summer, in a drive to attract younger drinkers.
Guinness Extra Cold is being rolled out to 3,000 pubs and bars across the UK after successful tests. It is chilled to three degrees centigrade, a temperature which makes it seem lighter and easier to drink than Draught Guinness.
A 2m TV and press campaign for Extra Cold is now being developed by Guinness' advertising agency Abbott Mead Vickers. BBDO. Aimed at the younger end of Guinness' 20-35-year-old target drinkers, it will run alongside existing advertising for Guinness Draught.
Creative details are still being decided but the campaign is likely to continue Guinness' "Good Things Come to Those Who Wait" proposition, despite the fact Extra Cold pours faster than the original. The ads have tended to depend on the slow delivery time of the stout for dramatic effect.
Guinness GB spends an estimated 18m on advertising a year. The new campaign is part of a broader strategy, which also features Guinness trialing branded fridges in the take-home market to offer super-cool cans of Guinness.
Guinness GB recently axed its Enigma lager, transferred the marketing and production of Harp Irish Lager to regional brewer Wolverhampton & Dudley, and transferred production of Kaliber lager and Guinness Bitter overseas. The stouts are now the only Guinness products brewed in the UK.

Plans back under way for more St. Peter beds
A Providence St. Peter Hospital plan to add 21 more patient beds is back on again after the hospital delayed the plans because of the slower economy, a hospital spokeswoman said Friday.
Planning is under way again and construction is expected to start in November 2011 for a September 2012 completion date, spokeswoman Deborah Shawver said. The beds will be installed on the hospital's second floor, which is occupied by administrative and accounting offices. The hospital also recently completed a renovation of its operating rooms and is about to finish an emergency room renovation, Shawver said.
Funding for the "multi-million dollar" patient bed project will come from the hospital operating budget, Providence Health & Services, Washington-Montana region and the Providence St. Peter Foundation .
