director's job easy!
Let's dress up for Christmas.
The shepherds watch the sheep.
They watch them when they're eating.
They watch them when they sleep.
One night out on a hillside,
they woke up from a snooze.
An angel in the sky said,
"Wake up! I've got good news".

|"I wanted to say the I did 'Let's Dress Up for Christmas' last year and the parents, teachers, and children LOVED the music! My preschool director said that, in 24 years at our school, she hasn't seen a better Christmas performance. I took pictures of all 17 classes in costumes that related to each song and did a mini powerpoint show while one of my older elementary students read the narration between each song. It worked out great. Thank you for providing easy to learn, fun and festive songs that my preschoolers could perform."

IOM at the EDD 2018
The International Organization for Migration (IOM), the UN Migration Agency, invites you to join us at the European Development Days on 5-6 June 2018
Make sure to register before 18 May to be able to participate and meet IOM speakers and moderators.
IOM and partners will be engaged in the following events, debates, and spaces:
Women and girls comprise 48 per cent of all international migrants. Although as recognized in the 2030 Development Agenda and in the New York Declaration, migrants make an overwhelmingly positive contribution to both host and home societies, women and girls are still exposed to gender specific vulnerabilities that limit their opportunities. Safe, orderly and regular migration, however, can allow women to develop new skills, flourish as entrepreneurs, and contribute to the growth of their host and home countries. Similarly, migration can increase their access to education and economic opportunities, disrupt harmful gender norms, and improve their social and political status.
The High Level Panel will provide a constructive space to discuss how the EU and its partners can reach sustainable solutions to today's migration challenges faced by women and girls, placing a particular focus on their empowerment in order to move away from seeing female migrants primarily through the lens of vulnerability.
This panel is organized by the Swiss Development Cooperation in partnership with IOM, UN Women and ILO.

- Laura Thompson, Deputy Director General, International Organization for Migration
- Myria Vassiliadou, PhD, EU Anti-Trafficking Coordinator, European Commission,

- Michelle Leighton, International Labour Organization
- Esther Nakajjigo, EDD Youth Representative from Uganda
- Moderator: Ambassador Thomas Gass, Assistant Director General SDC
>> More info and Updates at this LINK <<
This lab will begin with the stories of two of the guest speakers, who after returning home from Libya managed to process their migration journey and make a successful fresh start back home.
The discussion will be sparked by an IOM representative, an International Trade Centre (ITC) representative, and the Somali Republic Special Envoy on Migrants' and Children's Rights to debate the challenges and opportunities of return and reintegration for girls and women, from a social and economic prospective.
The accent will be put on the resilience shown and migrant women as agent of their own life, who can re-build their lives and bring positive contributions to the communities they live in, with the support of other actors.
This lab will also approach the business opportunities brought by women returnees and the complementarities that could be built to turn more of these opportunities into success stories, while highlighting the need for more in-depth knowledge on gender specific reintegration approaches.
This session is organised by the European Commission and the International Trade Centre in partnership IOM.

In a world on the move, trafficking in human beings (THB) is a billion-dollar business with a high human cost. Globally, millions of people are estimated to be victims of this crime. In line with the SDGs, THB is explicitly recognized as a form of violence against women and girls, and gender and age are being identified as structural, underlying factors linked to THB.
Indeed, identified victims are overwhelmingly female (71 %) and many are children (almost 1 in 3). This session will shed light on the nexus between gender, age and THB, with a strong emphasis on understanding socio-cultural factors and underlying mechanisms that render women and girls vulnerable to exploitation, with the ultimate aim of preventing trafficking of these groups and to empower women and girls.
This session is organized by IOM in partnership with LUMOS.

Migration and displacement can be extremely disruptive events in a person's life. Displaced and migrant girls are often affected disproportionately, with risks affecting their physical and mental health, welfare and opportunity to successfully transition to adulthood. Abuse and violence are recognised and expected, yet calculated risks are still taken to improve chances of survival from conflict, grinding poverty or gender based inequity.
In this brainstorming lab, we will bring together civil society, international organisations, migration experts and former migrant girls to discuss how we can better address the needs of girls on the move. We will also look into the root causes of girls' irregular migration and how to address them in key origin regions.
This session is organised by Save the Children in partnership with the Danish Refugee Council and IOM.

Example text
Read's politics drew on his interpretation of a variety of sources. These included Henry David Thoreau, Georges Sorel and Edward Carpenter. The individualist left in Britain, which included Guild Socialism and the Nietzscheanism of figures like A. R. Orage, nurtured Read's approach. Read was also conscious of the British literary tradition of socialism. '3 To this native tradition of socialism, which included John Ruskin, William 32 A BRITISH ANARCHIST TRADITION Morris and Oscar Wilde, Read added his modernism and his unequivocal anarchism, drawing on its innate suspicion of militarism, industrialization and mass production.

To date, no one has pulped any of Read's political commentary, which has mostly been treated as an eccentric quirk of his promotion of novelty. However, Herbert Read was more than an art critic. He succeeded in drawing anarchist and British intellectual sources into a unique set of insights about the transformative potential of human experience in one particular incorruptible sphere: the human perception of beauty.

Analysis: Pirates' woeful drafting, development hard to ignore
As the Pirates were licking their wounds on the heels of a 17-5 defeat to Philadelphia the night before, I was at Wrigley Field watching the Cubs and Reds on Saturday afternoon.
Just as a fan, swigging Old Style and spilling nacho cheese all over my shorts.
I did both of those things. Repeatedly.
Chicago came back from 5-0 down to win, courtesy of a Jared Hughes blown save. And something struck me while watching the two teams.
No, this isn't going to be a story blaming the Pirates by way of comparing their $102 million payroll to the Cubs and their $198 million payroll.
Rather, this is going to be a story about blaming the Pirates for not acquiring their own young talent and developing it like the Cubs.
Oh, and the Reds.
Yes, even the Reds.
For all of the griping we do as baseball fans in Pittsburgh about the financial inequities of the game, more of a light has to be cast on how poorly the Pirates have drafted and developed talent.
If the Pirates were better in that regard, maybe their inability to keep up financially wouldn't be such an issue.
Considering how often the Pirates have selected in the upper tier of the draft over the years, where are all their prospect home runs like what the Cubs have?
Tyler Glasnow has disappointed. Jameson Taillon has yet to show he was worthy of a No. 2 overall draft choice. Gerrit Cole is starting to look like an ace. Too bad he is doing it for the Astros.
Gregory Polanco is nowhere near the superstar we were led to believe he would be.
Starling Marte is good, not great. Josh Bell has regressed in Year 2.
Stetson Allie and Luis Heredia are long forgotten about. But I'm sure Alen Hanson is about to pan out …
… in San Francisco.
You get the point. Meanwhile, that Cubs roster is caked with guys Chicago either drafted and developed on their own or were acquired with little-to-no Major League experience.
For example, Albert Almora, Javier Baez, Ian Happ and Kyle Schwarber were first-round picks of the Cubs. David Bote, who had a huge pinch hit during the comeback, is an 18th-rounder. Willson Contreras is an international signee. He didn't play that day. Neither did the injured Kris Bryant, a first-rounder who won an MVP.
Contreras and Baez are all-stars. Happ and Schwarber have combined for 20 homers. Almora is hitting .326.
Anthony Rizzo had all of 49 games of Major League experience in San Diego before the Cubs acquired him. Addison Russell had never played in the big leagues in Oakland before moving to the Windy City. They've combined for four All-Star Games.
Meanwhile, the Reds — a small-market team that spends $8 million more than the Pirates on players — sport a lineup boasting Joey Votto, Eugenio Suarez and Scooter Gennett. They each made the All-Star Game. Votto was drafted by the Reds. Cincinnati grabbed Gennett off waivers at 26 and Suarez had just 85 games of experience with the Tigers when Cincinnati traded for him.
Then there is Scott Schebler, who is hitting .283 with 12 homers. He spent 19 games with the Dodgers in 2015 before joining the Reds.
Is this one day of cherry picking by me? Yeah, it is. But these are two divisional rivals, one of whom is of the same demographic make up as the Pirates. And you get the point.
We can point fingers at the structure of baseball. We should. We can point fingers at ownership for not spending more. We should.
But the failure there has also been a breakdown when it comes to the baseball end of Pirates management. That may be in the general manager's office and scouting department. That may be in the tutorial end of on field development.
More than likely, it's both. That's when the Pirates have to be introspective and say — in the words of Led Zeppelin — "Nobody's Fault But Mine."

It's tough being a rockstar
So you're a pretty famous metal band adored by leather clad hairy dudes all over the world - headlining stadiums and festivals on a regular basis. You're bored of the usual crates of Heineken and gallons of Jagermeister you're faced with day after day of your gruelling tour. You yearn for something more - something to give you that extra special ego boost.
What do you do? Well the answer is obvious surely: you go to a brewery and get them to create and produce your very own brand of beer.
American metal-heads Mastodon are living the rockstar lifestyle thanks to Mahr's Brau brewery who have produced a limited run of the beer exclusively for this years Sonisphere (which takes place throughout the Summer across six European countries) festival.
This beats Van Halen and their brown M&M demands back in the eighties that's for sure.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) containing growth factors and sometimes added stem cells is being used more frequently in our practice for tendon irritations, tendinitis, and bursitis around the shoulder, knee, elbow, and ankle joints. Effectively treat chronic injuries with PRP, a non-surgical treatment option.
PRP was made popular by professional athletes and weekend warriors through its treatment of season-ending symptoms including swelling, stiffness, inflammation, tenderness, and pain.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) containing growth factors and sometimes added stem cells is being used more frequently in our practice for tendon irritations, tendinitis, and bursitis around the shoulder, knee, elbow, and ankle joints.
The procedure takes a small amount of a patient's blood, isolates the platelets and injects the growth factors they release directly into the injured area, where they promote the body's natural healing response. A series of three injections combined with physical therapy focusing on soft tissue mobilization has been effective in our hands.The PRP has the benefit of stimulating the release of stem cells from vessel walls further augmenting repair. Stem cells are also being directly added to our cartilage regeneration efforts. Tendinitis is an inflammation, degeneration or injury to the tendon, the structure in your body that connects muscle to bone. Tendinitis can lead to degeneration of the collagen fibers that make up the tendon. The chronic pain that develops with tendinitis has been successfully treated with soft tissue massage, stretching, icing, and careful exercises.
PRP injections are prepared using a patient's own blood. Once the mixture is prepared, it is injected into the affected area to promote healing. With tennis elbow, for example, PRP and a local anesthetic would be injected directly into the inflamed tissue around the elbow joint. If used around the spine, the injections are usually delivered with live X-ray guidance (fluoroscopy) to ensure proper placement. Initially, pain may increase after the injection until the mixture starts to work on tissues.
Our unique regenerative approach to healing joints and repairing arthritis can get you back to the activities you love, without compromise.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a non-surgical treatment option that's becoming an increasingly common way to manage pain and promote tissue healing for athletes. Prepared from a patient's own blood, PRP injections also have the potential to benefit other people dealing with discomfort related to an assortment of musculoskeletal conditions.
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRPT) can be used turn back the hands of time, without the expense or downtime associated with surgery. Dr. David Ghozland uses PRPT in the Vampire Facial treatment to ease the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and crepey skin and minimize the appearance of sagging skin around the eyes or mid-face. The result? A refreshed, natural-looking glow that takes years off your appearance!
The Vampire Facial uses your own blood to prepare a PRP product that Dr. Ghozland will apply to your skin. The collagen-rich treatment will help firm and tighten your skin and restore your youthful glow. The Vampire Facial is non-invasive, and uses tiny injections similar to those used in Botox and dermal fillers. From start to finish, your procedure should take about 30 minutes.
Anyone who wants to look younger and feel more confident is a great candidate for a Vampire Facial using PRP therapy. Dr. Raj uses the Vampire Facial to treat:
Dr. Raj is a respected, compassionate and dedicated board-certified UROGYNO, Urologist and Surgeon in Brentwood California who specializes in vaginal cosmetic and minimally invasive surgeries. He utilizes the latest surgical techniques, which involve minimal downtime and mild sedation.
Thermiva is a non- invasive feminine rejuvenation treatment with no pain or downtime. Thermiva is the first and only temperature controlled treatment that safely and effectively uses radio frequency energy to tighten the labia and vaginal canal and increase blood flow to the vaginal tissue. This results in softer and thicker labial skin, increased vaginal moisture, improvement or curing of stress incontinence, and more coordinated muscle contractions.
Thermiva treatments are performed in a series of three, each one month apart. Some results are immediate and all results continue to improve with each treatment. Effects of the treatment last approximately nine months to a year. Maintenance treatments are recommended once a year after the initial series to maintain optimal results.
Benefits of Ahh PRP Shot
Ahh PRP Shot has the potential to heal low sex drive, decreased orgasm, urinary incontinence, dyspanurea (painful sexual intercourse), and other problems caused by aging or after childbirth. The truth is that many men and women suffer in silence, embarrassed because they have sexual problems. As much as 40% of women and 35% suffer from sexual problems, but they do not discuss it with their physician. This affects self-esteem, mental health, and can even result in family problems. The Ahh PRP Shot has been talked about in Fox News with Dr. Lisbeth Roy, Cosmopolitan magazine and Tatler Magazine.
"The PRP generated in the centrifuge contains cell regenerating growth factors which, when injected into the vagina, trigger stem cells to increase blood flow and generate healthy tissue growth as well as helps improve the vascularization of the area," Dr Raj said. He has seen the request for the orgasm shot on the rise recently, which he attributes partly to positive patient testimonials.
"The rise of non-surgical genital rejuvenation, in general, has increased a lot due to the advanced technology that is now present, and patients now started to be informed but we are still in a very early stage.
"The fact that women finally heard about a treatment that can at least help them regain some of their sensitivity as there was nothing at all in the market for that. The main reasons women are requesting the shot are to increase sensitivity, because they used to have orgasms and now do not, they are experiencing urinal incontinence or lichen sclerosis - a condition which affects the skin of the genitals.
Some women who chose the procedure might suffer from female sexual arousal disorder which has shown to affect 1 in 20 women according to some studies, they might be unable to achieve an orgasm, potentially because they have an orgasm disorder. Other women who opt for the shot may do so because they are experiencing pain during sex which nearly one in 10 women experience, a recent study suggested.
Patients have reported a range of positive effects from the shots including increased sensation, greater arousal from clitoral stimulation, the ability to have an orgasm from penetrative sex when they were previously unable to, younger and smoother skin of the vulva, stronger and more frequent orgasms, improvement in urinary incontinence, decreased pain for those experiencing painful sex, increased natural lubrication and the increased ability to have a vaginal orgasm.
"The results in general of the Ahh PRP Shot varies, I always explain to my patients, it depends on where we are at the starting point, for example, their age, if they have medical conditions or whether they have hormonal problems." He stresses the injection is "not a magic stick" and that 50 per cent of women might experience instantaneous "wow effects" while the other half may just notice a marked improvement, which they can build on by having more injections.
Are there any risks with injecting such a highly sensitive area? All injections carry certain risks such as bleeding, infection and damaging the nerve endings but claims he has never seen any side effects cases he has personally administered.
Dr. Raj women and warned that continuing stigmas around the female orgasm and female can deter women coming forward for help or treatment if they are experiencing gynecological or sexual problems. He suggests this problem is a form of sexism.
"The following example is, "As we grow older, our sights get impaired so we wear glasses, our hearing might get weaker so we wear hearing aids, this is no different. This is a part of the female body that sees a lot of changes through life: from delivery, menopause, hormonal changes, and aging.
So we have to expect some reduction in sensation at least for some but we should not treat this is as an abnormality. The abnormality is not seeking help because of a stigma, in my opinion, ignoring female sexual dysfunction with the negative effects it could have on the female life, family, socially and work for example is one form of female abuse.

I started this blog right after I got married. It slowly turned into my full virtual life log, where I share my daily life, my interests, my home, my wardrobe, and all my ups and downs. Babies have now come into the mix, so I'm taking a short break and posting more sparsely for a while.
I'm an optimist at heart and forever a creative mind, no matter what medium. My passions include writing, drawing, sculpting, you name it. Every once in a while I go all crazy and write a song here and there. I like puppies, pastries, tea, fleece blankets, I'm strangely obsessed with Alice in Wonderland, and if the world around me could look like a Desperate Housewives set – permanent sunny weather and all – I'd be one happy lady!

No, this is not a picture of a model.
It is in fact an actual rare photo that Myles Johnson has asked me to post of the under side of Bob Janes Camaro.
Many forum members would be interested in how this car was rebuilt..... so just ask away, and Myles will answer away, and where necessary I'll do my tiny little bit in adding photos that may help explain the process.
Members should also feel free to add any pictures and memories they have of this great car and its driver Mr Robert F. Jane.

I've wanted to make KitKat Rocky Road for a while. KitKats are my weakness. I love them. Especially a KitKat Chunky with a cup of tea. There's nothing better; I could have one a day. I'm not a huge fan of all of the funny KitKats though. Asda currently have some Lemon Drizzle KitKats in, which I can't bring myself to try!
But, my KitKat Rocky Road Recipe has taken a while to perfect. To start with, I couldn't decide if I'd still need biscuits in the mix. Seen as KitKats are wafer based and so quite biscuity on their own. Did they need more?
The first batch that I made, I didn't include biscuits or raisins, but I did add some hazelnuts. So, it was broken up KitKats, cherries, mini marshmallows and nuts. This tasted amazing, and I really loved the flavour combination. But, I neglected to realise that no biscuit meant I'd need less butter to bind all the ingredients together. So, it tasted fantastic but didn't set at all. You had to eat it with a spoon. Which we did, obvs!
Then, I tried it with biscuit but didn't get the consistency quite right again. The final, perfect batch, has some biscuit, but not as much as I usually use, and a bit less butter. This seemed to work quite well for me in an 8"x8" tray. But, you might find it better to add more biscuit or take out more butter. There should just about be enough liquid to cover the mixed up dry ingredients and bind them. If it seems like there's too much, I recommended adding a few extra biscuits.
My KitKat Rocky Road Recipe
KitKat Rocky Road
- 100 g Digestive Biscuits – Broken into large chunks
- 9 2 Finger KitKats – Broken into 1cm pieces
- 100 g Butter
- 3 tbsp Cocoa
- 3 tbsp Golden Syrup
- 75 g Glace Cherries – Cut in half
- 50 g Mini Marshmallow
- 50 g Hazelnuts
- 300 g Milk Chocolate
- Grease and line a deep baking tray or tin.
- Add 7 of the KitKats, the biscuits, cherries, marshmallows and hazelnuts to a mixing bowl and stir well.
- Melt the butter, golden syrup and cocoa together in a small saucepan.
- Poor onto the biscuit mix and stir until everything is coated.
- Tip into the baking tray and press out into the sides so evenly spread.
- Leave in the fridge to set for at least 1 hour.
- Melt the milk chocolate in a pan and pour over the top of the Rocky Road Mixture, spreading evenly.
- Top with the remaining KitKat chunks and return to the fridge to set for 2 hours before cutting.
- I use an 8"x8" tin, which makes nice thick chunks.
- You could also add raisins and different KitKat flavours.

The legendary jazz-trio from Rio de Janerio have returned for another release from Far Out Recordings. Azymuth have been shredding the jazz-world since the 70s. They're most known for their 1979 hit "Jazz Carnival" but also received attention for Jazzanova's remix of their track Amazon and Ivan Conti's, who is a member of the group, collab with rapper Madlib titled "Jackson-Conti". Despite being around for over 40 years, Fênix is proof that Azymuth can still bring the heat. Staying true to their Brazilian-Jazz sound but featuring incredible production, this album sounds extremely fresh and youthful.

Prefect's Assembly – 13 March 2017
Hard work or Talent – By Chezney Drabile (Deputy Head Prefect)
A couple of days ago, I came across 2 boys who were talking about trial week. The one boy was complaining about why he had been dropped from his team. I'm sure that majority of us, if not all of us, have empathy for this boy and have felt the feeling of disappointment at some stage in our lives. We often look for some sort of justification as to why we have been dropped which often ends up in us doing one of the following,
1. We blame the coach; we accuse the coach of having favourites, generally being against us and not liking us. Or we say that our coach obviously has no clue about what he/she is doing.
2. We say that the person who got moved up pretty much sucked up to the coach and doesn't deserve to be there. We just say this in a more explicit way.
3. The third and final thing which we do is what led me to my message for today's assembly. Fundamentally, we all say that the sole reason why the person was moved up is because he/she is more talented than us. Of course we never say this out loud. But as some stage of our lives we have all thought this.
With this in mind I've titled my message for today: Talent or Hard work?
The question I'd like to pose today is what separates the best from the rest. What separates the high performance athletes and sports stars from the common man? Is talent really the gap between us and the superstars?
Let's rewind back in the time for second to the good old days. The days of Ayrton Senna, Carl Lewis, Pele and Don Bradman too name a few. I firmly believe that the one thing all of these people had in common was a lot of raw talent. Back in the day, the barrier and difference between an amateur and a professional was largely due to their raw talent. If you were talented then you received more opportunities which obviously meant that you got more exposure and experience than your peers and resulted in you becoming a professional.
I'm not saying that all these individuals never worked hard but what I am saying is that in their times sports largely revolved around your raw talent and abilities. Over the years things have changed and millions of dollars have been invested into sports. Sports has transformed and what you needed to become a professional a few years back is not the same right now. Right now talent isn't enough, you need a lot of hard work as well.
The problem is that we don't realize that the barrier between us moving up and becoming a sports star is our mindset which hasn't changed and allowed us to realize that hard work and sacrifices is what it takes now and not necessarily only talent. Most people (to a certain extent) can reach the top level; the question is how badly do you want it?
I remember reading a book sometime back titled the Gold Mine Effect by Rasmus Ankersen. In the book, Rasmus went on a journey to unravel the secret to success in various gold mines and why they are filled with talent. He defined a Gold Mine as any tiny geographic place which produces a series of world class athletes one after another. It's basically any place which we believe is filled with talent, when in actual fact, they are filled with people who want to succeed as badly as they want to breath.
To understand why these individuals are successful and not necessarily the most talented people, we need to visit a couple of gold mines. Let's look at Ethiopia for starters.
When you look at Ethiopia you will discover that during the 2008 Beijing Olympics, 4 of the gold medal winners from Ethiopia all came from the same village consisting of 30 000 people.
In Kenya a single tribe has been dominating the 3 000m steeple chase for the past years. In Jamaica a single athletics club (which trains on grass and uses a rusted old gym) produces majority of the best sprinters on Earth. Usain bolt, Asafa Powell and Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce to name a few.
All of these areas have one thing in common, a desire to work hard. Rasmus discovered that talent is found everywhere but that doesn't necessarily make you successful. It just means that you have a natural ability to perform the task. You still need to put in the long hours.
I'm sure that all of us are familiar with the 10 000 hour concept, which means that we need 10 000 hours to master a discipline. This shows us that hard work is needed, but the Gold Mines show us that you need so much more to be a superstar. The Gold Mines put in about 20 000- 30 000 hours of practice, which explains why we all think they are talented and why they dominated in their various sports.
In Brazil, a footballer reaches 10 000 hours of practice at the age of 13. In contrast, an English footballer only reaches 10 000 hours of practice in their mid-20's. To put this in perspective 10 000 hours is about 2 hours and 44mins of practice every day for 10 years.
In Kenya, an 18 year old athlete would have run 25 000- 30 000km's more than your average American.
What does all of this mean? Maybe we don't make the team we would like to be in because we don't put in the work. We all have some sort of ability or talent but that doesn't determine how successful we will be. Thankfully we all have a second chance, and seeing as the start of the winter fixtures is fast approaching. The team that you start at doesn't have to be where you finish. Vince Lombradi summarizes my speech perfectly when he said, "The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary"
The only thing left for us to do is decide how badly we want to be the best, and how much we are willing to put in. We are all in a Gold Mine right now, and the only difference between us and any other school is our ability to cultivate our talent through hard work. As Rasmus Ankersen said, "The Great Ages didn't have more talent, they just wasted less"

The marine market is facing seismic change; continued, tight freight rates, an increasing regulatory burden, the ongoing demand for sustainability, growing competition, and advances in technology, connectivity and digitalisation that are driving radical transformation.
How companies manage this change is critical
Organisations need to understand how they fit into, and are relevant to this new world order, and define the positive and progressive impact that they can have on the market. How you position your brand, build reputation, and communicate with the people most important to you is central to seizing the opportunities of a market in transition.
BLUE works with companies in the marine sector spanning:
- Shipowning and operating
- Ship management
- Satcomms
- Clean technology
- Digital and software solutions
- Ballast water treatment
- NGOs and charities
- Businesses across the bunkering value chain
At a time of unique challenges, we have the knowledge and the skills to help marine businesses drive transformation.
We have been working with BLUE since 2016 to strengthen our PR and marketing strategy, which since then has significantly improved. They are professionals in defining the right messages for our target audiences and helping us to communicate them across multiple channels.

CEO - Norsepower
I've worked closely with BLUE for the last ten years and continue to be impressed by the timely, creative, and high quality work they produce.

BLUE Communication's team members were an extension of my in-house team, and they were, at all times, insightful and reliable.
Head of Corporate Communications - UASC
We have benefited hugely from BLUE's media and other stakeholder networks and maritime market knowledge in terms of developing our PR and communications as a global, growing business.

Mike Kelley was a contemporary American artist who was known for his collaborations in collage, textile, found object assemblages, and performances.
He was a student of John Baldessari, and his work is included in The Phoenix Art Museum's contemporary collection (pictured above), as well as the upcoming 2012 Whitney Biennial in New York.
"Mike was an irresistible force in contemporary art," wrote members of his studio in a public statement. "We cannot believe he is gone. But we know his legacy will continue to touch and challenge anyone who crosses its path. We will miss him. We will keep him with us."

Prebankruptcy Planning
Bankruptcy is not something that everyone should file on impulse. Although it's possible to simply declare bankruptcy then follow up with the technicalities, experts recommend early preparation upon deciding to file for bankruptcy. This teaches people what is prebankruptcy planning and its effect on the actual filing process.
Getting to Know Prebankruptcy Planning
Just like any financial filing process, filing for bankruptcy requires prebankruptcy planning. Several procedures must be completed in the process, ensuring bankruptcy will go accordingly and ensure getting discharged of financial obligations incurred.
Aside from completing several bankruptcy procedures, engaging in prebankruptcy planning answers common questions a person filing for bankruptcy may have in mind. The concept of bankruptcy often scare a lot of people with the technicalities surrounding it and possible effect on their credit standing. Talking to a bankruptcy lawyer or bankruptcy expert will shed light to important matters a person should know.
Common Processes Done During Prebankruptcy Planning
There are many procedures to be accomplished before the actual filing process. It includes assessing current assets and financial status. During this time, an individual will know which properties can be exempted then do necessary transfer in case they are still non-exempt assets. Exempt properties are assets that can't be seized by creditors, especially the unsecured creditors. This means the assets listed as exempted won't be used to settle debts.
Planning also helps time bankruptcy process. There are several instances when people can get better exemptions in filing. These instances include people who are moving to a different state. New state residents needed to stay for a certain time before taking advantage of exemptions. Other technicalities surrounding exemptions help people time their filing process accordingly and maximize exemptions.
Prebankruptcy preparation helps people assess their other financial documents, payments, deposits, child support, and other necessary information that will be needed for filing.
Common Mistakes Prevented with Planning
A person filing for bankruptcy has higher chances of making a mistake on the filing process without correct planning. Planning with the help of an expert will prevent people from committing these mistakes and digging themselves into deeper financial-related problems.
Among these problems is hiding assets from creditors. Filing for bankruptcy requires debtors to declare all their assets, which will be used in settling their debts. However, some debtors "hide" their assets to ensure they still have an asset left after bankruptcy, which is a mistake with its own ramifications. Even if it's inadvertently hidden due to lack of knowledge about bankruptcy, authorities will still consider it an offense and may subject the debtor to penalties.
With planning, a bankruptcy expert can spot these problems and keep debtors from incurring more issues with their bankruptcy.
Hiring an Expert to Assist with Planning
A bankruptcy lawyer or expert knows the ins and outs of bankruptcy filing. Hiring them for consultation and planning will be beneficial before filing process. Experts will guide debtors and recommend procedures that may work for the latter's benefit.
Understanding what is prebankruptcy planning and the importance of working with an expert makes the filing process simpler. Planning ensures all needed documents are available and every asset is properly declared. Look for a bankruptcy expert online and start planning if you're thinking of filing for bankruptcy.

Indian Kareoke Christmas
Oh, Tannenbaum, oh Tannenbaum, wie gruen sind deine blaetter...etc
This German Christmas song was my contribution to the Christmas Kareoky at the Hotel Kanta Shrawan Palace, where we are both staying and playing. Timur Gareyev sang a sang in Russian and David Bennett, also from the USA sang a Hanuka song. Our contributions were mercifully short.
The Indians were represented by a professional singer, a Bank Director (sponsor), a former tabletennis champion, who promised me a game, and the wife of the tournament organiser, Mr Kapil Saxena. The Lady of the lakes, as well as all the other Indians put us to shame with their voices.
Ambulance Deathrace
If that sounds surreal then todays Incident was downright bizarre. I have had a cold for several days now and welcomed the offer to consult a doctor. I also informed him that for several weeks I have had a blocked ear. Although I mentioned that it was definitly not serious, a consultation with an E.N.T specialist was arranged. I amused myself by playing blitz with some local kids, two of whom belonged to the good doctor who had arranged my appointment.
Imagine my surprise when an ambuance arrived (converted mini-van)! Three of the organisers joined the two paramedics and driver and all seven of us sped off to the hospital with siren blazing at death defying speed through the crowded and chaotic streets of Bhopal. The only explanation I can think of is that the driver had seen my game from today and must have thought that anyone that plays so badly can only have minutes to live!
To my amazement we arrived without without death or even severe injury to anyone. Just some dizzyness and nausea from all the speedbumps which were totally ignored. I was then ushered into a consultation room to see a doctor, with my entourage in attendance. I was then examined by a doctor who reminded me of the female incarnation of the Bhudda from the tv show Monkey. After a thorough examination she diagnosed me with a middle ear infection, prescribed me three different types of medication, and we took our leave.
We were promised a more sedate return home, and although our new driver promised, after a few hundred metres, when we encountered traffic, he also was unable to restrain himself, turned on the siren and off we went.....
Next time I have a minor ailment in India, I think I'll just suffer in silence.
Round 7
I am again able to present games to you in replayer form thanks to instruction from Sagar Shah, journalist for Chessbase India. I will try to reenter the games lost from my previous replayer if I can find them..and when I get around to it.
This game was particularily annoying as it featured some of my perpetual weaknesses. 20...Kh7 is obviously played with the intention of continuing with f5. My first thought was to stop it with 21.Qa2, retaining a slight advantage and a pleasant position. Instead I gambled, miscalculated and with 25.Bd5 blundered into a mate. I had only calculated 25.... Qg5, forgetting that c2 is no longer covered.
Round 8
Todays game was even more painful evn though I drew. 19.Nd2 allowed black complete control and Black entered the ending exchange and pawn ahead. I got careless and thought I must be winning the pawn ending with the spare tempo, without calculating. Stupid, stupid , stupid!

Our annual Conference is an interesting, thought-scary, three-day occasion offering multiple ways to community with business professionals, discover a mentor, get a sneak peek at rising technology, and hone your leadership expertise. Educational researchers should be sensitive to any domestically established institutional insurance policies or pointers for conducting analysis. I'm not saying they bully I'm implying they think theirs is factual or superior when in reality it is just principle like my belief in Christianity. Vocational high schools and magnet colleges align courses with one another and to an occupational focus for all college students.
Simply to be clear to everybody – once I stated 1950's is as a result of a lot of the meals then in the UK was pretty bad because of rationing, submit struggle rationing gave a nasty identify to British food which form of clung to us until across the 1990's. Little things like including milk to scrambled egg before it goes in the pan simply to bulk it out (as a result of eggs have been rationed) and packeted, dried food had been in all places so that it remained preserved. Anyway eventually we bought used to this and plenty of local cuisines died off a little bit and we obtained a bad popularity in Europe for cooking. Those native cuisines have come again now in lots of locations.

That's way more than might be completed within the school day, which is one cause why I reject the concept that lecturers and faculties are the only ones liable for educating kids. Everyone – mother and father, academics, group members and institutions – has a task to play, and one of our foremost objectives must be to work collectively to make sure that this happens.
Thanks for the brand new comments – hope the information proves to be practical for getting individuals to work in the event that they need it. The younger girl in question graduated Magna Cum Laude from the College of Georgia. She's no slacker. The delivery metaphor as it's used in the dominant definition of education is a kind of illusions that we have to overcome so as to relieve struggling on the planet, on this case the suffering of youngsters and academics and possibly all the other folks in faculties, too.

We're busy folks, aren't we? I remember my mom telling me after I was married, "You guys need to have some kids to slow you down." She was half joking of course. There's always something calling for attention. After children come, there are different things that call for your attention, but it doesn't become less busy! I find myself constantly evaluating my time management and my priorities.
Lately I've been thinking about the example of Mary and Martha in Luke 10. Both ladies had a heart for the Lord, there's no doubt about that. Of course, we've often heard of Martha's lack of spirituality because she failed to sit at Jesus' feet. The thought occurred to me that Martha probably thought that she WAS being spiritual by physically serving the Lord. Let's give her that benefit of a doubt. In fact, she perceived that her sister was wrong for not helping.
More often than not, I find myself in Martha's situation. Serving physically and exerting myself toward the needs of others that I forget how to BE STILL. I forget that God has so much he wants us to hear but our noisome lives drown out any truth He has to share with us. Perhaps Martha thought she could hear Jesus just fine as she scurried about preparing the meal. Maybe she thought she would catch a snippet here and there of what He had to say and that would be enough. But it wasn't enough!
Jesus praised Mary for her CHOICE of taking time at his feet. In Vs. 42 Jesus says, "But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her."
To put it simply, it is not enough for us to fill our days with "good things" and yet not take time to sit at Jesus' feet and seek to hear and meditate on His Words. A five minute session here and a quick read there are not sufficient to soak up God's Word in the way He intended. But you see, it was Mary's CHOICE. Every day we must make the choice for ourselves.
Make the choice to be still today!

He suggested that intelligence officials tasked to brief him were critical of the way Obama had handled US national security: "I'm pretty good with the body language. I could tell they were not happy. Our leaders did not follow what they were recommending." Trump additionally courted controversy by repeating his assertions that the US should have kept Iraq's oil after the invasion in 2003 to ensure that to the victor go the spoils. He also defended a previous Twitter comment in which he suggested rapes in the military were the result of an increase in female recruits. So controversial was Trump's performance that it could overshadow Clinton's lackluster showing. The former secretary of state, plied with questions about her private email server, seemed defensive and unwilling to abide by time constraints on her responses. And cloaking herself in the conventional mantle of experience and sobriety for a commander in chief distinguishes her from Trump but might not jibe with public anger at the Washington establishment and antipathy toward the foreign policy decisions of the last 15 years, such as the Iraq War and the current effort to combat terrorism. She described herself as offering "steadiness. An absolutely rock steadiness" mixed with "strength to be able to make the hard decisions." "When you're sitting in the Situation Room, as I have (been) on numerous occasions, particularly with respect to determining whether to recommend the raid against bin Laden, what you want in a president, a commander in chief, is someone who listens, who evaluates what is being told to him or her, who is able to sort out the very difficult options being presented." Clinton admitted that her Senate vote in 2002 to authorize war in Iraq was a mistake, but pointed out that though Trump says he always opposed the conflict, he was on record as backing it at the time.

Employment Secrets Every Job Seeker Needs To Know
Finding a job can be a difficult task, even more so if you don't know where to begin. Lots of information exists for people searching for jobs. This guide can help you see where to find your dream job.
If a job remains elusive, consider adjusting your approach. There are many places that aren't hiring, but that shouldn't dissuade you. Consider broadening your search to other areas that could possibly offer employment in a place you can afford.
Even if you're already seeking employment, it's important to do well at your current job still. You cannot afford a bad reputation due to goofing off. This can follow you down the line. You will be successful if you always apply yourself.
Classes are very valuable to fine tune your skills. Often times, if you want a job you have to acquire new skills. To get something better for yourself, you need to better yourself so that you have more to offer a prospective employer. You can locate numerous classes online that can help you learn about new things during a time that works for your schedule.
Dress nicely for an interview even if they don't require that every day. You're looking to impress the person hiring, so show them what you are capable of.
Be prepared to answer quite a few questions when you're about to be interviewed. There will normally be a time at the interview's end, in which you can ask questions. You can ask a variety of questions ranging from the current moral of the company to the job requirements of the position you are applying for.
Do not allow yourself to get involved in workplace drama. Being a team player is a big requirement for most employers, so it is important that you get along with others. If you build that reputation, you will certainly find that you are chosen for raises and promotions before others.
You should avoid being set on a single position. http://postmatthewyoung.haralsoncounty.org/2016/09/19/emerging-answers-for-logical-vocation-strategies/Getting a job is not easy so make sure you have a lot of different choices. Keep all avenues open until a job is locked down. Apply everywhere that you can, because this will give you much higher odds of gaining employment.
Answer your personal phone line professionally. You'll make a good impression on any potential employers who call, although you may initially confuse some of your friends with such a formal greeting.
Keep your references up to date. It will be bad for an employer to call any of your references and find the information is no longer valid. Give them a call and refresh their memory, plus double check their contact information.
Make sure that you register for the group insurance your company has offered for health reasons. The premiums are normally deducted before taxes and that is less expensive than purchasing an individual plan. When you are married, you need to compare both your plan and your spouse's plan in order to determine which one is the best.
A great resume is the key to getting that great position in the company. Your resume needs to be very organized so that employers can determine your background easily. Be sure and include your strengths, experience and education. You should also include any volunteer experience, and make sure your contact information is current.
When just starting new employment, err on the side of over-communicating with your boss. A lot of people find that distrust occurs when there isn't any communication going on. You should check in a bit more than average. Your boss is going to appreciate this and give you vital feedback.
If you're not sure how to get your resume just right, use a template that you find online as a guide. There are lots of free options for you to use. Highlight the different attributes that you bring to the table on your resume.
You really need to give off a good vibe during your job interviews. You should always be upbeat, and don't forget to smile. Your interviewer will likely remember your positivity and it may be the factor that brings the job offer home to you.
As previously said, finding a job can be hard. You need to look in many different places for work, rather than focusing on a single possibility. Use these ideas and insights to identify, locate and land the job you've been waiting for.

For a long time I've been on the quest for the one, the person who I was told throughout my childhood existed. The person who would make all of the neuroses in me hush the fuck up and pipe down.
I've had quite a few boyfriends and I'm not ashamed to say that; I've had the ones I've thought I'd been in love with, the ones who bought me pretty things, the ones who called me fat, the ones who were only with me for something (one) to do, the boys who've been beautiful, the boys who've been funny, a few who've been kind and many who haven't and one who I said 'yes' to.
Yet, here I am at 28, very single, and dare I say very alone. Most recently I let my guard down to someone who I thought was the person I'd been told about, who said all the lovely things you want to hear including the all important declaration of love, yet who dumped me via text message and removed me from all social existence, like I was never in his life at all. I've not known that kind of heartache since the first person I fell in love with when I was 16, and it was awful, so much so that I still can't get myself over it, even now.
Before that was a lovely man whom treated me wonderfully and whom I got on very well with, yet circumstances changed and pulled us apart, since this change in circumstance communication has been reopened and I thought that maybe there was something still there. But as with all things I've learned with men, is that you never really know what they are thinking or feeling.
And so as I sit and write this to you, the people in the internet, like I'm Meg Ryan in 'You've Got Mail' and tell you how lonely I am and how broken my heart is, I want to ask you how much heartache can a heart really take? And I don't just mean the heartache from failed relationships but those of family and friends too. I mean how strong must a heart be to take it all of this bullshit and still manage to pump enough blood to your face to put a smile on it?
I think what is bothering me the most is that I have often felt and still feel that I am never enough… and over dramatically I was never enough for my dad to stick around, for my failed engagement to actually reach I do, for the 'I love you's' to mean exactly that… I see all of my friends getting married and having babies and I hear now almost daily of ex's who never wanted girlfriends or partners who are now very much in them, being coupley and delightful, just not with me. I mean why not me, why am I not enough? For me it doesn't even come down to the Bipolar crap I carry around like a rucksack everyday, but like many people I just wonder what the fuck is it in me that makes men in-particularly revolt?
Granted I can be too needy, sensitive, overly kind, temperamental and a pain in the ass but I'd like to think there is far more positive in me than negative to justify being treated like crap, dumped via text, used for sex, or undecided about, I'd like to think that I am enough.
Yeah I know you'll all say, it's them it's not you, you are enough blah, blah, fucking blah. but that can't all be true so in ending to this blog of a rant, all I'm hoping is that someday soon someone realises that I am enough and tells me that they love me, mean it and that they mean it enough to stick around.
Not too much to ask, no?
