Why the future won't be as creepy as a Black Mirror episode
The digital world is hyper-honest. Meatspace is hyper-dishonest. The separation between the two is what causes a sensation of creepiness. Everyone goes on the internet, sees that such-and-such drank a tequila shot off a Mexican hookers ass, and then goes to work as if nothing happened. It's weird. Everyone pretends that the online world is not actually happening all the time and influencing everything. We know the political opinions of friends is a nuanced way that we could never know before, and yet we say nothing in the physical world.
Eventually that will end.
As the next generation grows up with the internet the hyper-honesty of cyberspace will bleed into reality, and the dishonesty of meatspace will bleed over into cyberspace. Eventually, a (hopefully) more honest equilibrium will emerge where people talk openly about what happened online. When that happens the Black Mirror-esque "creep factor" will vanish as people just talk openly about it all. "Yes, I saw that meme you shared. Yes, I know you hate White people. Yes, we're all racist," will replace the silence. When everyone is honest, few are shocked, and the digital and physical worlds collide, the creep factor vanishes. A person might get fired for their tweets, but they will also get hired for their tweets. When every news organization is openly political recruiters will scout for talent by looking at your political history online to vet you. Don't assume this process will automatically favor legacy media. One organization might not be willing to hire a racist, but what about another? Anticipate mega-White nationalist corporations in your future, accepting payment in crypto, evading regulations, managed by anonymous shareholders owning smart-contract stock. Imagine private police forces that use millions of cameras combined with AI to spot criminals. Anticipate government being rendered redundant as anarcho capitalist private security firms build a second state within the first, with everyone coming to see the original state as nothing more than a hindrance to its superior replacement.

This is good news. There really is no difference between private government and feudalism except in terms of degrees. One of my biggest frustrations when I was military police (AF Security Forces) was enforcement of unjust laws, as well as bureaucratic irrationality. It is one of the reasons I left. A more rational/feudal order would be awesome.Delete

It's a few days before my birthday and my boyfriend forgot.
Not on purpose, he pleaded, "it was an honest mistake!"
I can forgive that.
What hurt me the most wasn't that my birthday had slipped his mind. No. Rather it was that he was yet another among sooooo many other people who've done the same, if not worse.
So, naturally, I gave him hell for it.
Even in my sobbing silence, I was enraged and he knew it. Just didn't know how deeply affected I was, or even why!
Why… is because he can't possibly understand the blow of being disowned on a birthday.
Mom called Dad on 18th birthday to remind him about late child support. His backlash, "Bueno Aida, she's 18 now. She's no longer my problem." He hung up before either of us had the chance to respond. Mom looked at me hoping I'd been daydreaming and missed what'd just happened. But the conversation was on speakerphone and his voice – at least what was left of it – was never one to be ignored. Noticing my full awareness, Mom went on, "he's right, you've always been a problem."
Why… is because he doesn't know the disappointment of an entire family forgetting birthdays and age
Every year, Mom felt it appropriate to take me on a random shopping spree sometime in June or July. She'd say, "Angela, get whatever you want, this will be your birthday present!" When I was young that was dope and all. One year, I snagged a Barbie Dreamhouse, a Barbie Jeep, and THREE Limited Edition Barbies. Another year, my sights were set on a Sega Dreamcast – so obviously I got that AND four games. It wasn't until the year that Mom spent nearly $800 at Limited Too that I realized that I didn't want any of the garbage that was being packed up to take home. I wasn't satisfied with the one-day-a-year that Mom acknowledged my existence. Wasn't happy being showered with goodies or an expensive shopping trip when I knew it'd be over sooner than I could get a smile on my face. This year – in June, as a matter of fact – Mom did the same as usual. I came home to a massive bag of H&M apparel, "para tu cumpleaños, que no quiero quedar comprometida." "for your birthday because I don't want to deal with the responsibility later." I revolted, "Mom, my birthday is in September and you don't have to get me anything. I appreciate the gesture, but I can't accept this." Also, neither of my brothers have ever known my birthday – they wouldn't know my age either if it weren't for the base guideline that we're each 7 years apart.
Why… is because my birthday has been an afterthought, always.
It's the reason I'm conflicted about discussing any of this, for fear of being dealt with a pity party. Whenever I tell people I don't have plans for my birthday it's probably because it's what I'm used to and have learned to accept. However, people sympathize and send along happy birthday wishes when reminded by Facebook or take me out for dinner at a restaurant where a birthday dessert is a pro bono option. It's sweet and I value the formality but it sort of sucks to be put into a situation that is veiled as rescue.
WHY… is because birthdays are a big fucking deal not for the basic Hallmark Card reasons
but rather because a birthday is a triumph. It is a FEAT to get through a year of life, especially as an adult – maybe I'm projecting on that last part. Birthdays ought to be celebrated, life ought to be honored. What's the point in waiting until post-life to exhibit ones adoration for another. No! Commend someone's accomplishments whether big or small. Make a person feel as special as possible because life's tooooooooo short for negi vibes!
The conversation didn't move along near as swiftly as I've managed to write out here. Lots of crying and lots of prying was involved. The crying on my part. The prying on his part. When we felt it was time to eat and well, get on, he closed with, "Angela, I'm really sorry. For what I did, for what you've been through, and for not supporting you enough."
I closed with, "I accept your apology and I'm not sorry. I won't apologize for expressing my feelings and my experiences. I won't apologize for being me."
"That's fair," he agreed.
It felt SO GOOD to do this. As a feminist. As an individual. As a work in progress.
An addendum: glad to know that Starbucks doesn't miss my birthday!

everyone knows that the musical scores to sofia coppola's films are as memorable as the movie itself. having just seen her new film "somewhere," which i highly recommend, this early, tender strokes song (a demo) really stood out and stays on. music nerd sidebar: compare the low-fi demo with the record version below which became the much glossier "you only live once."

The garage was a priority in order to store items for the project.
It required taking down the asbestos roof, removing all the roof structure and rebuilding. Making and installing windows.
I raised the level of the roof and built a large gutter between the two garages-using lead for longevity and appearance.
I fitted a sweet chestnut cladding from Vastern Timbers to finish it externally (and rendered under the cladding)
I used a local firm to add a fibreglass finish (RA Fibreglass Ltd) . I subsequently redesigned their website. I can recommend them without hesitation.

Marriage is inherently deemed an economic partnership, according to the law, and upon its dissolution, the accumulated assets and interests are to be distributed on the basis of the economic needs and circumstances of the parties.
Equitable distribution in New York is fact specific, and not a 50/50 split, like it is in the community property states, such as California, Arizona, Nevada, and Alaska. (There are 9 community property states in total.) Much is left to judicial discretion in this neck of the woods. Both parties contributions as spouse, parent, wage earner or homemaker are accounted for. The court possesses flexibility and elasticity to mold an appropriate decree, because what is fair and just in one circumstance may not be so in another.
With regards to equitable distribution, we look closely at that economic partnership, splitting interests when there are both direct and indirect contributions made to the titled spouse by the non-titled spouse. These details will oftentimes determine how much is allocated between the parties. If there were many direct or indirect contributions made by the non-titled spouse, that could give a lot of weight to how much is paid to the non-titled spouse in the equitable distribution payout.
Marriage is like being on the clock. It is "marriage time," like punching in and out of work, with the punch-in time being the date of marriage and the punch-out time being the date of commencement of a divorce action for active assets, and date of trial for passive assets. When you sign up for marriage, your financial actions are accounted for, and there is to be a reckoning with your spouse. A large part of the marriage (contract) is a financial contract with your spouse, and whether or not you understand the provisions and their ramifications when you take those marriage vows, you are bound by them. All time you spend during the marriage may be accounted for and "billed," so to speak, in the final pay-out equitable distribution awards.
Arguably, this result may be inherently unfair from the get-go if you consider that most people don't read the Domestic Relations Law, Family Court Act, General Obligations Laws, enter into a prenuptial agreement, or consult with a matrimonial attorney prior to marriage, so they are clueless as to the full breadth of the financial picture and often make erroneous presumptions. For example, many people presume that money they put in their separate titled accounts during marriage is separate property, which is incorrect. All income earned during marriage is marital income, so if spouses put their incomes into separate titled accounts, rather than keeping that money separate, they are commingling their separate account and presumptively turning everything in that account into marital property – the exact opposite result they intended.
Another counterintuitive consequence and irony is that many people's performance tanks during a bad marriage. A non-titled spouse may be requesting and entitled to equitable distribution for their contributions when the titled spouse may feel that all their spouse did during the phases of a distant or rocky marriage is hamper their performance and growth, and that their growth would have been exponentially greater without their spouse and his/her claimed contributions.
The hoi polloi are entering into marriage contracts without understanding the basic principles of the contract, and later claiming that they did not understand the contract is not a valid defense. If you are old enough to get married, you are supposedly mature and responsible enough to avail yourself of this information and plan your finances accordingly.
It would be a leap to evoke the phrase "The Follies of the Masses," but as matrimonial attorneys and mediators, we urge people to educate themselves about managing their finances prior to marriage, and if that time has passed, much may still be salvaged. I have married people asking for consultations all the time to realign their finances and understand the financial blueprint, for example, prior to one spouse opening a business, assuming a large debt, receiving an inheritance or personal injury award or liquidating untainted premarital property towards purchasing a jointly titled home, all of which are opportune times.

Despite important strides in the fight against poverty over the past two decades with nearly 1.1 billion people escaping extreme poverty since 1990, child poverty remains widespread and persistent, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. This three-day international conference aims to engage policy makers, practitioners and researchers in identifying solutions for fighting child poverty and inequality in Africa, and inspiring action towards change. The conference offers a platform for bridging divides across sectors, disciplines and policy, practice and research.
The conference will be framed around the following themes:
- "Setting the scene: Who and where are the poor children?" This theme aims to provide insight into the plight of overlooked children, to strengthen data collection and measurement efforts to ensure that no child is overlooked in the future.
- "Child-sensitive social protection: Making social protection work for children". This theme aims to promote a better understanding of how social protection can be improved to help children, including links to services and the adoption of more child-oriented approaches.
- "Ensuring access to basic services for all: Reaching the poorest and most marginalised children". This theme aims to gain insight into how access to services can be secured for the most excluded and marginalised, including views on how to remove specific barriers and involve a social workforce and community-based mechanisms.
- "Supporting secure transitions to adulthood". This theme aims to explore how the 'youth bulge' can be considered a 'demographic dividend' and how young people can be supported in the transition to adulthood with regard to education, work, family and aspirations.
The conference will conclude with a commitment to action towards fighting child poverty and inequality in Africa. Action steps will be summarised in a Call for Action, to which feedback is welcome.
Confirmed speakers include:
- H.E Ms Demitu Hambisa, Minister Ministry of Women and Children Affairs, Ethiopia
- Ms. Leila Pakkala, Regional Director for Eastern and Southern Africa, UNICEF
- Dr. Agnes Akosua Aidoo, International Board of Trustees, ACPF
- Jane Kabubo-Mariara, Executive Director, PEP
- Nora Groce, Director of the Leonard Cheshire Disability and Inclusive Development Centre, UCL
- Jo Boyden, Director of Young Lives

- Ethiopian Centre for Child Research at Ethiopian Development Research Institute (EDRI)
- Comparative Research Programme on Poverty (CROP)
- ESRC-DFID Impact Initiative Impact at the Institute of Development Studies (IDS)
- United Nations Economic Commission for Africa
- Ethiopia Ministry of Women and Children Affairs (MoWCA)

Nottingham Robin Hood medieval village 'still possible'
The Sheriff of Nottingham has said he is confident a £25m medieval village tourist attraction could still be built at the foot of Nottingham Castle.
Plans were put forward as part of the Sheriff's Commission two years ago.
The aim of the commission was to suggest how the city could make more of the legend of Robin Hood.
Several investors registered an initial interest in the plans but everything went on hold when the country entered a recession, Councillor Leon Unczer said.
The idea was to create an "adventurous and fun but historical in context" medieval village which could attract 500,000 visitors a year, Mr Unczer said.
"Commitment-wise it needs the backing of the city and somebody with a lot of money," he said.
"It's megabucks but there is always somebody who you can get that money from."
The sheriff denied his theme park plans were just "pie-in-the-sky".
'Mildly cautious'
"We had some names (of interested parties) before the recession, so when it actually lifts the game could be back on and I sincerely hope it will be," he said.
Mr Unczer admitted that no-one at Nottingham City Council was as confident as he was about the plans.
"They are mildly cautious, most politicians are," he said.
The Sheriff's Commission was set up in 2009 prior to the release of the Hollywood blockbuster Robin Hood.
The sheriff admitted that two years on the city's Robin Hood offer was still not good.
But he said improvements had been made with a new audio trail and exhibitions at the Galleries of Justice museum and castle.
"There's lots to be done. If you are adventurous enough and brave enough let's do it," he said.
The Sheriff's Commission initially said it hoped to build a "new, truly world-class Robin Hood visitor experience" by June 2018.

Roxy revealed some big news recently...
Roxy Shahidi – the real face behind Emmerdale's Leyla Harding – has recently announced that she's going to become a mother and we are SO happy for her.
Sharing the news with OK! magazine, the actress revealed her and her husband Arsher Ali's excitement but admitted she was seriously shocked: 'I was absolutely terrified when I saw the test was positive…'
The 34 year old continued: 'I assumed it would take us ages but it only took a few weeks. When the pregnancy test was positive I went into a bit of shock!'
She also revealed it was her colleague and mum of two Charley Webb who predicted the actress was pregnant before she even did the test: 'We had been working together and she called me when I got home and said my boobs gave it away.'
She added: 'Arsher also guessed too because one day I had a sudden craving for Hula Hoops, which isn't something I'd usually eat!'
More: Did Khloe Kardashian Just Confirm Her'Pregnancy' With This Video?
The couple are due to welcome their first child in January 2018 and have announced they're having a little girl.
Arsher said: 'We're having a girl. We both wanted to find out so we has the NIPT [non-invasive prenatal testing blood test at 12 weeks.] There hasn't been a girl in my family for 20 years so everyone on my side is pretty excited.'
And they HAVE found a name, but have said they're keeping it secret until their daughter's arrival.
But how did Roxy manage to keep the whole pregnancy secret?! Well…
See: Liam Payne Shares First Video Of Baby Bear And We Can't Deal
'I've got good core muscles because I've done yoga for years, so my bump is quite small and tidy… The producers have been really kind to me. They've been careful not to push me too hard.'
She continued: 'Part of me was a bit worried about stressing out the baby during the emotional scenes, but she was fine I think… I'm sure as I get bigger it will get harder to hide it on camera, but we'll have to resort to the old tricks of holding a laundry basket in front of the bump or wearing big earring to distract from it.'
Congratulations again to Roxy and Asher!

The City of Ottawa has reaffirmed its commitment to racial justice and equality.
The Rev. Ernest Jones, Bethany Chapel Baptist Church, accepted a proclamation from Ottawa city commissioners recognizing February as Black History Month on Wednesday night during the commission's regular meeting at City Hall, 101 S. Hickory St., Ottawa.
The city declared, "February has been set aside nationally for Black History Month to allow an opportunity for citizens to become aware of the contributions African-Americans have made."
Rev. Jones thanked the commission, and stressed the ongoing importance of fostering harmony between all people groups.
"If we are going to continue to progress as a nation, if we are going to continue to progress as a city, we have to continue to make room for inclusiveness, and make space for love," Jones said. "Dr. Martin Luther King said something very important. He said 'Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that.' And then he said, 'Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that.' I want to thank the City of Ottawa for recognizing our contribution — not only to Ottawa, but to the nation. And we pray that we will continue to move in a progressive direction, so that we as citizens of Ottawa can all live together in harmony."
The evening also featured an essay reading by Adelle Higbie, sixth grade student from West Franklin Middle School, Pomona. Higbie won the community's 2018 Martin Luther King Jr. essay contest last month.
"While some people have legacies of royalty and power, Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy was a passion for equality and peace," Higbie read. "Dr. King led several nonviolent protests against segregation, which would change America forever.
"Dr. King gave America new ways to look at segregation: as an unfair action that can be changed if everyone worked together," she continued. "He never used violence or harsh words, and he always respected others' feelings.
All Dr. King wanted was a chance for equality, and he accomplished his dream. Martin Luther King Jr. changed America, and will forever be remembered."
Mayor Mike Skidmore, who selected Higbie's essay as the 2018 overall winner, lauded all the students who submitted essays from across the county.
"I'm really encouraged by the younger kids: they get it," Skidmore said. "They get it folks, and I appreciate that they do. A lot of the adults don't yet, but at least we've got this generation coming up, and they get it. And I'm very proud of them."

This article argues that male aggression is socially encouraged based mostly on parenting. It claims that parents generally teach men to embrace aggression while teaching women to suppress it, citing how while a girl might be encouraged to walk away from someone who attacks them, a boy is told to fight back more often. Likewise, parents might be more willing to use physical punishment on boys than girls. This article denounces the argument of testosterone being a leading factor in aggression and instead fames parenting and society.
Men across the globe have staggering statistics in their widespread multiples aggressive behavior and actions in comparison to women. This is due to a combination of societal pressures, and also genetics. Genetically, men have testosterone, which induces competitive behavior and, through the evolutionary process, aggressive behavior. Socially, men are fostered through media and advertising that "manliness" is equivalent to crime and aggression. The lure of guns as young boy toys and the pattern of literature showing men as fighters increases this societal assumption of men and masculinity.
This article highlights the intense amount of pressure placed on young boys as they grow up and evolve into the men they are today. This article claims that as boys mature, they are taught not to be weak. Ultimately turning their weakness into anger and the root of psychological problems; far beyond depression and anxiety.
This New York Times article lays out the connecting and similar factors of mass shooters of which include mental illnesses, grievances, and that most are male. They link their gender to these mass shootings saying that men are more likely than women to execute this level of violence because of society putting pressure on men and look down on them if they have a mental illness. Ultimately this articles research links mass shootings to men and mental illness.
This article focuses on more so the absence of women committing mass murders. It explains that yes women are capable of doing so but don't, the US has only seen one women guilty of a mass murder in modern day compared to 62 men that are guilty. This is good counter claim evidence because it states that yes a woman has committed this tragedy but also not nearly at the rate at which men do.
The claim of this article is that some men are unaware of their unnatural emotions and therefore are difficult to convince to get help. The typical man is viewed as independent and unemotional which is incompatible with therapy. A quote used in the article provides the information that the lack of seeking help is not biological but purely out of societal pressures.
The article claims that stereotypes of men to be independent and tough coexist with mental health issues and substance abuse. A variety of men gave their personal experiences. A man in particular explains that that the pressure to be tough and "manly" cause him to avoid talking about his emotions or getting help. The reluctance of feelings to conform to society can create a build up of emotions and possibly ,in some cases, a mass shooting.
According to the author, a male is driven to commit mass shootings by their masculine sense of entitlement. The author believes that glorified violent movies are making men question their masculinity because they can no longer impress women they way the actors in movies do. It is argued that women go through similar hardships as men and struggle with the same types of mental illnesses, but do not resort to shooting up public places because they feel more empathy.

Questions and answers
Rangoli Colon Hydrotherapy treatment will help you restore,
relax and rid yourself of physical and emotional toxins.
About Liz Coetzee and Rangoli Health Colon Hydrotherapy
Liz is a professionally trained colon hydrotherapist and has been a member of RICTAT (The International Register of Integrative Colon Therapists and Trainers) since 2012. She is also a qualified Ayurvedic Lifestyle counselor. She is passionate about helping people live healthy and happy lives.
Rangoli Health – Colon Hydrotherapy is a place where you can restore, relax and rid yourself of physical and emotional toxins. Rangoli Health is set in the beautiful mountains near Xindian. On you first visit, Liz will carefully explain the colon hydrotherapy treatment process and invite you into her calm, clean and peaceful treatment room. Afterwards you will enjoy some delicious snacks and herbal tea and reflect on your experience.
What are the potential benefits?
Colon hydrotherapy may assist in improving discomfort such as
- Allergies
- Arthritis
- Bowel Irregularity
- Candidiasis
- Chronic Constipation
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
- Diarrhea
- Joint Pains
- Leaky Gut Syndrome
- Migraines
- Skin conditions i.e. acne, psoriasis, cellulite
Decomposing matter in the colon can cause toxic conditions and may lead to health problems such as fatigue, lack of energy, premature aging, allergies, cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Don't wait until it's too late!
The Treatment Process
First appointment: 1.5-2 hours
- 30 minutes – First you will fill in a health and lifestyle questionnaire in order to help your therapist adjust your treatment to suit your needs.
- 45 minutes: treatment time.
- 15 minutes: herbal tea, snacks and reflecting on your experience.
Follow-up treatments: 1 to 1.5 hours
How many treatments will I need?
For people who suffer from constipation or other chronic conditions around 5 treatments on average will be enough. If you have a healthy bowel 2-3 treatments. For "good maintenance" we suggest 1 treatment every 3 to 4 months.
Is it safe?
Yes. Filtered, temperature controlled water is introduced at a low, gentle pressure. Our equipment allows us to work with gravity or pressure, "pressure" never exceeds 2psi and the equipment has extra safety features which prevent this limit being exceeded. We check contraindications carefully to exclude any person who should not have a colonic for health reasons.
Sanitation is vital to this process. The tubes, pipes, and speculums that we use are fully disposable.
Does it hurt?
No. Although sometimes uncomfortable, it is not painful. At the start of the procedure, you may experience a "strange" sensation of wanting to go to the toilet, but most people get used to this feeling in the first few minutes, and even find the colonic treatment relaxing and uplifting.
What will I feel like after the treatment?
Some people feel energised and revitalised, while others may have a reaction such as tiredness, a detox headache or flu-like feelings. Some people feel lighter, very hungry or don't feel like eating for hours afterwards. You will however be fine to drive home or go back to work.
Will I lose weight?
You may lose some weight. Most people feel lighter after a colonic. Just bear in mind that you lose wastes only, not fat or cellulite. A person living on 'a diet of processed food' may carry between 2-5kg of waste in the colon!
How to get there?
MRT and Bus: Bus 849 (to Wulai) leaves Xindian MRT station every 20 minutes. The stop to get off at is called "Guangxing Road Intersection" (廣興路口). Pick up will be provided at the bus stop.
MRT and Taxi: A taxi from Xindian MRT station costs around NT230 (one-way).
Driving: As you drive out of Xindian following Bei-Yi Road (北宜路), you will turn right onto Xinwu Road (新烏路), the Wulai road. From this turn off, it is 7km to Guangxing Bridge (廣興橋), a grey, double arched bridge located shortly after the only gas station on the Wulai road. Turn right onto the bridge.
After crossing the bridge, take the first left at the temple (紫竹林寺) with a big golden Kuanying statue. Now you are on Song Ling Road (松林路). Follow the road for 100m and at the three-way junction take the uphill road. Continue winding up the hill as you follow the golden Buddhist statues. At the Buddhist figure sitting on an elephant, turn left. The next left is lane 16. There is plenty of parking for both cars and scooters. Once you have parked, please call me and I'll come meet you at the street level.
Rangoli Health – Colon Hydrotherapy is a place where you can restore, relax and rid yourself of physical and emotional toxins that so often hold us back.
What is colon hydrotherapy?
Colon hydrotherapy, also known as colonic irrigation, high colonic, entero-lavage, or simply, colonic, is the process of cleansing the colon by passing purified filtered, temperature controlled water through it with the use of special equipment. It is similar to an enema but treats the whole colon, not just the lower bowel. This has the effect of flushing out impacted faceal matter; toxic wastes, yeasts and other undesirable matter that often build up over the passage of time. Decomposing matter can cause toxic conditions and may lead to health problems such as fatigue, lack of energy, premature aging, allergies, cancer and Alzheimer's disease.
What are the potential benefits?
Colonic therapy may assist in improving intestinal discomfort such as bloating, bowel irregularity, yeast infections, IBS and constipation, as well as more general concerns like skin conditions, stress and fatigue. It is also considered 'the ultimate anti-aging treatment' and an excellent health maintenance regime.
- Removal of excess wastes, irritants and allergy triggers
- Restoration of bowel motility (movement)
- Rebuilding of the brain-gut connection
- Rehydration of the large intestine
- Rebalancing of gut bacteria
- Repair of the gut wall
- Re-education of yourself
Start three days before your appointment. Please first seek medical advice before changing your diet if you have any health conditions such as diabetes.
Avoid or Reduce
- "Junk food", sugar, chocolate and artificial sweeterners.
- All animal products.
- Refined wheat products such as bread, pasta and cakes.
- Fried foods.
- Coffee, tea, soft drinks and diet drinks.
Eat and Drink
- Fresh fruit and vegetables
- Whole grains
- Fresh vegetable juice(see Recipes). Have 3 glasses a day of around 200ml each.
- Herbal teas such as Rooboi tea and Pure water (around 2 liters a day)
Follow a light diet of fruits, steamed vegetables, salads, soups, chicken or fish for two to three days.
- Avoid gas forming foods: broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, cucumbers, green peppers, radishes, onions, bananas, raw apples, prunes, melons, pears, eggs, beans and legumes.
- Avoid gassy drinks.
- Avoid heavy and fried food, flour products, spices, alcohol and coffee for at least 24 hours after the treatment.
- Eat plenty of fermented food such as sugar-free, natural yoghurt, sauerkraut
(see Recipes), kefir, kombucha and kimchi (in moderation).
- Avoid any strenuous activity for 24 hours after the treatment.
What will I feel like after the treatment?
Some people feel energised and revitalised, while others feel tired "in a nice way". You will however be fine to drive home or go back to work. Some people feel lighter, very hungry or don't feel like eating for hours afterwards. As you release old faceal matter, you may also release old, stuck emotions, so just be open and willing to let go. Depending on your level of toxicity, you may get a headache, feel bloated or tired. Just take it easy and rest. During your treatment, the colon gets rehydrated and therefore you may experience increased urination afterwards. Since the colon has been cleared of solid matter, it may take a couple of days before it fills up again and normal bowel movements are resumed.
Persons with certain medical conditions (contraindicated conditions) are prohibited from undergoing colon hydro-therapy unless they are given approval and/or by prescription from their physician. These conditions include the following:
Contraindicated conditions (Not eligible for Colonic)
• Pregnancy
• Renal Insufficiency
• Cirrhosis of the liver
• Kidney Dialysis
Conditions by prescription only
• Uncontrolled Hypertension
• Carcinoma of the Rectum
• Any rectal bleeding
• Severe Hemorrhoids
• Abdominal Surgery
• Intestinal Perforation
• Diverticulitis
• Abdominal Hernia
• Recent Heart Attack
• Fissures/Fistulas
• Anemia: Severe
• Epilepsy/Psychosis
• General Debilitation
• Congestive Heart Failure
• Crohn's Disease
• Recent History of GI bleeding
• Cancer of the colon or GI Tract
• Vascular Aneurysm
• Prostatitis
• Acute Abdominal Pain
• Recent Colon or Rectal Surgery
• Ulcerative Colitis: Severe
First treatment and Consultation
For the first appointment, you'd need to schedule 1.5 hours. You will first sit with the therapist and fill in a questionnaire about your lifestyle, diet, exercise, health history etc. This will give the therapist a clearer idea about your motivation and reasons for the treatment and she can accordingly adjust your treatment to suit your needs.
During the treatment, the therapist will gently massage the patient's abdomen to help dislodge impacted faecal matter. The treatment lasts between 35-45 minutes. Our clients' modesty is protected at all times. You will be fully covered, protected and warm during the treatment. Toilet and washing facilities are in the room, for your exclusive use. You will be served herbal tea and a small snack after your treatment.
Is it safe?
Yes. The filtered, temperature controlled water is introduced at a low, gentle pressure, which is even lower than the pressure that stools exert on the bowel wall. Sanitation is vital to this process. The tubes, pipes, and speculums that we use are fully disposable.
Does it hurt?
No. Although sometimes uncomfortable, it is not painful. At the start of the procedure, you may experience a "strange" sensation of wanting to go to the toilet, but most people get used to this feeling in the first few minutes, and even find the colonic treatment relaxing and uplifting.
Will I lose weight?
You may lose some weight. Most people feel lighter after a colonic. Just bear in mind that you lose wastes only, not fat or cellulite. A person living on 'a diet of processed food' may carry between 2-5 kg of waste in the colon! If you eat less, increase your fiber intake, move and exercise more, chew better and drink more water, then you will achieve a permanent weight loss.
How many treatments will I need?
Treatments may vary from 2-3 treatments per week (for people who suffer from constipation or other chronic conditions) to once every 3-4 months for "good maintenance".
Since we live in a rather polluted environment, it is inevitable that our bodies are exposed to toxins in our food, water, air and living environments. A good clean-out every now-and-then can only be beneficial to our overall health. If you adopt our maintenance programme between treatments, then the number of colonics will be reduced, and the periods between treatments will be longer. Colonic hydrotherapy, unlike the use of laxatives, is not habit forming and improves the tone of the colon.
- Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day. Don't drink ice-cold water with your meals. Sip room temperature water throughout the day.
- Avoid drinking water and other liquids 30 minutes before and after your meals. A little Chinese tea at the end of your meal will aid in your digestion.
- Avoid cold drinks and carbonated drinks.
- Avoid artificial sweeteners – use stevia or honey to sweeten your drinks.
- Avoid or minimize alcohol intake and coffee.
- Replace tea and coffee with herbal tea. If griping occurs drink hot peppermint, fennel or chamomile infusions.
- Mix seeds like sunflower, flax, sesame and pumpkin seeds. Store in the fridge and grind 2 tablespoons daily. Sprinkle on cereal, salads or add to a smoothie.
- Increase the amount of organic, raw fruit and vegetables.
- Eat beetroot, raw, boiled or juiced daily.
- Eat a small slice of fresh ginger with rock salt and olive oil 10 minutes before your meals.
- Have the "Beauty Breakfast" to start your day (see Recipes)
- Include fermented foods into your diet: kefir, sauerkraut (see Recipes), natural yoghurt, kombucha and kimchi.
- Chew slowly and keep your mouth shut while chewing, to avoid air getting into your digestive system.
- Vary red meat, white meat, fish and vegetarian meals.
- Whole grains (rice, barley, oats, buckwheat, quinoa etc.) are nutritionally better than pasta and breakfast cereals. They contain the roughage than cleans up your digestive system. Generally, they are better for you "al dente" – very slightly undercooked. Soak the grains overnight before cooking and discard the soak water.
- Beans and pulses are high in fiber. Introduce them into your diet carefully and slowly to avoid excess gas. Soak your beans overnight and discard soak water before cooking.
- Avoid white flour products.
- Reduce salt intake as it is dehydrating
- Eat smaller meals – grazing is better than gorging!
- Take a probiotics supplement: 5 billion CFU's (Culture Forming Units) minimum.
- Take psyllium husk, flaxseed or cascara sagrada to assist in bowel movements.
- Exercise at least 3 days per week for 30 minutes.
- Try rebounding (jumping on a trampoline or chest deep water).
Morning Routine: how to retrain the bowel
- As soon as you wake up have a glass of warm water with lemon juice.
- Make time to sit on the toilet soon after you get up in the morning, do this regularly to establish a new and regular toilet habit.
- Use a footstool to put your feet on when having a bowel movement.
- Do not ignore the urge to have a bowel movement, go to the toilet ASAP.
This breakfast has been traditionally used by those wanting to have a steady supply of energy in the morning, good digestion, regular elimination and a beautiful skin. It requires minimum preparation and is ready to be eaten in the morning.

Detoxing Juice
Liz's professionalism is top notch and the environment she provides is very comforting and clean. She makes the experience as pleasant, smooth and as
comfortable as possible. The results are fantastic. I have made many dietary changes based on her suggestions since my first treatment and since then, I've never felt better in my life.
I was very much impressed with the lovely and comfortable space Liz Coetzee created for her practice, with how thoroughly and thoughtfully she handled the colon hydrotherapy treatment and the hygienic standards she maintains. Liz is very personable and friendly, and having done a lot of colonics herself, her skin is radiantly beautiful. After the treatment, I felt lighter and vibrant.
I am a survivor of Stage 4 colon cancer and was recommended to Liz by a friend. After surgery I became constipated, but I feel much more
comfortable and "lighter" after receiving treatments. My overall health has also improved.
Liz is delicate, kind and full of wisdom regarding colon hydrotherapy. The treatment gave me a better understanding of my own body, mood and lifestyle. Liz gave professional advice accordingly. Thanks to Liz for this professional and intimate treatment.
Liz has an amazing energy and spirit that leave you wanting to make changes to your health and general well-being. Definitely worth a visit!
"All sickness starts in the gut". True health begins there. Liz realized that long ago and wants to help as many people as she can come to that realization.
This is a very magical experience. After my first treatment, I felt tired, but after a day I felt very relaxed and comfortable. I highly recommend this treatment.
I love the environment of Liz's treatment space; it is clean and cozy. Liz is a very professional therapist who cares a lot about the mental and physical wellness of her clients. Since a year ago, I have started colonics treatment with her and there are precious changes of my health and my relationship with food. For anyone who is interested in improving overall wellness, Liz's service is highly recommended!
We require 24 working hours (2 days) notice of cancellation of your appointment in order to offer that appointment time to another client. We are always understanding regarding emergencies and we will do our best to accommodate a change in appointment time. Other than emergencies, please let us know in good time.
- No credit card facilities
- "No Shows" will be charged at NT1500

July 5, 2012
It's a common scenario: You're out shopping and want to compare prices. You're driving and see a billboard for a new store downtown. You're stuck in the middle of nowhere and need the phone number for a local taxi service. Luckily, you're in the 21st century and your smartphone is in your pocket.
With the evolution of smartphones has come the evolution of the mobile web. Consumers want information instantly—and it's much more convenient to carry around a smartphone than a laptop.
The mobile web is expanding rapidly, with more people purchasing products online everyday. Mobile commerce is predicted to surpass $28 billion in the United States alone by 2015, so it is wise to cut yourself a piece of the pie. To ensure you're maximizing the size of that piece, you'll want to read Monetate's eBook, Catering to the Smartphone User: Best Practices for Mobile Optimization.
The mobile web differs from the desktop web experience in many ways; most notably, the size of the display and the fact that the user is not stationary. Taking these aspects into account, it is important to cater to mobile users to make their experiences both usable and useful.
If you're looking to create a best-in-class mobile website or mobile landing pages—or want to enhance your existing site for visitors on mobile devices—you've come to the right place. Catering to the Smartphone User: Best Practices for Mobile Optimization will give you insight on how to do it properly.
More specifically, it focuses on:
• Designing with action in mind
• Thinking about speed
• Continuous testing
• Staying branded
• Simplifying navigation
• Mining mobile data
• And more!
Serving up an incompetent mobile website or landing page can leave visitors with a bad impression. Instead, leverage the insights in this new eBook to make sure you're delivering the optimal mobile experience in order to convert one-time visitors into returning customers.
Zac Prutzman is an intern working for Monetate's marketing department and currently trying to produce his own sports blog (fingers crossed). He is a dual major at Syracuse University, studying Broadcast Journalism and Web Design.

Now, the fun truly begins.
If you're a fan of high school basketball, you'll have a lot to keep you busy over the next couple weeks as seven Forecaster Country teams chase a Gold Ball.
While the Falmouth and Greely boys are favorites to cut down the nets, everyone liked their chances heading in.
Here's a glimpse:
Fab four
Falmouth, Greely, North Yarmouth Academy and Yarmouth's boys' teams are all capable of making deep tournament runs.
The Yachtsmen are in a unique situation. Not only are they the defending Class B state champions, but they are trying to follow that up by winning the Class A title (Falmouth was reclassified this winter due to enrollment numbers).
Falmouth was dominant again playing its regular Western Maine Conference schedule this winter, winning every game but one and closing on a 12-game win streak to wind up 17-1 after downing host Cape Elizabeth (62-50) and visiting Kennebunk (66-30). Thomas Coyne had 15 points against the Capers. Nick Burton had 14 points and Jack Simonds added 12 in the win over the Rams.
"We were lacking a little experience coming into the season, but seniors stepped up," said Falmouth's longtime coach Dave Halligan. "Nick Burton went inside and did the work for us. Justin Rogers and Matt Tseng stepped into their roles. I thought we could be good and we had a couple of bumps, but we got better and learned."
The Yachtsmen earned the No. 2 seed in Western A behind Portland and will face either No. 7 Cheverus (9-9) or No. 10 Scarborough (9-9) in the quarterfinals Saturday at 9 p.m., at the Portland Exposition Building. Falmouth didn't play either team this season and has no playoff experience against either team.
It's likely the Yachtsmen will have to go through Bonny Eagle in the semifinals and undefeated Portland in the regional final to reach their state game goal, but they beat both squads in the non-countable Red Claws Christmas Tournament back in December and will enter full of confidence.
"We're excited for our first time in the A tournament," Halligan said. "We haven't played those teams and they haven't played us. The kids will be motivated. From top to bottom, all the teams are good and well-coached. We'll just do what we've done all year to compete."
In Western B, Greely enters as the top seed after a superb 17-1 season, marred only by a loss at Falmouth (after the Rangers beat the Yachtsmen in overtime earlier in the season). Greely closed with a 77-53 win at Wells and a 71-62 home victory over Cape Elizabeth. Against the Warriors, Michael McDevitt led the way with 28 points. Connor Hanley and Kyle Wood both had 20 points versus the Capers, demonstrating yet again that this squad has more depth than just about anybody.
"I'm very happy with our season, there's not much to complain about," said Greely coach Travis Seaver. "We kept getting better. That was a positive. It's such a good group."
The Rangers will face either No. 8 York (9-9) or No. 9 Lincoln Academy (9-9) in the quarterfinals Saturday at 3 p.m., at the Expo. Greely swept the Wildcats this year, 62-32 in York and 56-41 at home. Last year, the Wildcats knocked out the Rangers in the quarterfinals, 64-38, to take a 4-3 all-time lead in the postseason. Greely doesn't play Lincoln Academy in the regular season, but has some payback to deliver to the Eagles as well after Lincoln Academy shocked the host Rangers in the preliminary round two years ago, 55-54.
If Greely advances, it will face a well-known rival in No. 4 Yarmouth (14-4) or No. 5 Cape Elizabeth (11-7) in the semifinals. The Rangers are heavy favorites to make it to the state final for the first time since cutting the nets down for the third time in four seasons back in 1998.
"States has been the goal since day one, but we know anything can happen," Seaver said. "There are a lot of good teams. With Cape and Yarmouth, we all have a good idea of what the other does. (Second-ranked) Morse is tough and good inside. (Third-seeded) Spruce Mountain has experience. It's always interesting to see how teams from different conferences match up."
Speaking of the Clippers, they had another strong season, closing on a six-game win streak after handling visiting Gray-New Gloucester (67-39) and Freeport (74-48) in their final two games. Against the Patriots, Jordan Brown had 24 points and David Murphy added 17. In the win over the Falcons, Murphy had 19 points, Nate Shields-Auble added 14 and Adam LaBrie finished with 13.
"We won big early, we struggled against Falmouth and Greely and we won close games, so we've been tested," said Yarmouth coach Adam Smith. "I feel good about our ability to have different guys step up. Guys know they have to play well, or someone else will come in and play well. We had more wins than I thought. To win 14 games was more than we or other pundits expected. We've played well as a team."
The Clippers aren't exactly being rewarded for their strong regular season, as they have as tough a quarterfinal as you can imagine against a Cape Elizabeth squad they swept in the regular season, 66-52 at home and 67-55 on the road. The teams have played three previous times in the playoffs, with the Capers taking all three. The most recent meeting was a 61-47 Cape Elizabeth triumph in the 2011 Western B Final.
It's never easy to beat a good team three times, especially one which knows you so well, but Yarmouth will take its chances.
"Roads are paved differently and this year, the journey for us will be more difficult," Smith said. "The regular season doesn't matter. Our regular season output against them won't be enough Saturday. We can't turn the ball over. We should have enough size to have a rebounding edge. It comes down to our ability to make shots. They won't give us anything easy."
Freeport finished 2-16 and 15th in Western B (where only 10 teams qualified) after winning, 58-55, over visiting Kennebunk and losing, 74-48, at Yarmouth. Jack Davenport led the way with 24 points and Chandler Birmingham added 21 against the Rams. Davenport had 19 points and Birmingham 12 versus the Clippers.
In Western D, NYA finished 13-5, its best record since 2005-06, good for fifth in the region, after closing with a 53-48 home loss to Old Orchard Beach and a memorable 87-85 double overtime victory over visiting Seacoast Christian. In the loss, Chase Gendron had 17 points. In the win, El Tayeb Dahia had 28 points and Gendron added 22.
"I'm very pleased with our regular season," said Panthers coach Jason Knight. "The team has made very positive strides and while they know a couple of games could have gone another way, they have maintained an even-keeled approach. They don't get too down on losses or too high on the wins. That said, the team is excited to be the group to get NYA back to Augusta, but isn't satisfied with just getting there."
The Panthers have the daunting task of squaring off against No. 4 Valley (14-4), a longtime powerhouse, in the quarterfinals Saturday at 11:30 a.m., at the Augusta Civic Center. NYA doesn't face the Cavaliers in the regular season, but the teams do have postseason history, having squared off five previous times. Valley won each of them, with a 70-68 semifinal round triumph in 2005 the most recent.
Looking ahead, the Western A semifinals are Wednesday of next week at the new-and-improved Cumberland County Civic Center, while the Western D semis are the same day in Augusta. The Western B semifinals are Thursday in Portland. The Western A (CCCC), Western B (CCCC) and Western D (Augusta) Finals are all Saturday, Feb. 22. The Class B state final is Friday, Feb. 28 at the new Cross Center in Bangor. The Class A state game is Saturday, March 1, in Portland ( 7 p.m.), while the Class D state game is the same day in Augusta (at 2:45 p.m.).
On the girls' side, Greely is the only team guaranteed to play in a quarterfinal, but Falmouth and NYA qualified for the tournament as well.
In Western B, the Rangers capped another solid regular season with a 14-4 record, good for the No. 4 spot in the Heal Points. Greely closed with a 43-40 loss at Wells and a 54-38 triumph at Cape Elizabeth. In the setback, Ashley Storey had 15 points and Blais Tardif added 13. In the victory, Storey led the with 21.
Greely will face No. 5 Lincoln Academy (15-3) Tuesday at 7 p.m., at the Expo, in the quarterfinals. The teams don't play in the regular season. The last playoff meeting came in the 2000 quarterfinals (a 52-47 Rangers' win). They also met in the 1983 quarterfinals (a 58-46 Greely win) and the 1985 quarterfinals (a 48-44 victory for the Eagles).
A win likely means a semifinal round showdown with No. 1 Lake Region, which handled the Rangers in the lone regular season meeting, 52-34, Jan. 24 and also eliminated Greely from last year's tournament, 42-27, in the semifinals.
Freeport wound up 12th at 8-10 (but only 10 teams made the playoff cut) after wins at Kennebunk (64-35) and at home over Yarmouth (55-36). Standout Nina Davenport capped her Falcons' career with 24 points in both victories. Ashley Richardson had 14 points against the Rams and Livvy Dimick added 15 versus the Clippers.
Yarmouth wound up 4-14 and 15th, but improved by leaps and bounds over last season. In addition to falling at home to Freeport in the finale, the Clippers dropped a 45-35 home decision to Gray-New Gloucester last week. Grace O'Donnell had 10 points against the Patriots. Abby Nielsen led the team with 11 versus the Falcons.
Yarmouth's first-year coach Chris Strong was very plesed with how her team developed over the course of the season.
"If we made conference teams work hard for their wins and feel uncomfortable during their games, we accomplished our goal," Strong said. "If we made teams have to prepare for us because they knew they couldn't underestimate Yarmouth, then we accomplished our goal. In addition to four wins, we measured our successes in less traditional ways, like limiting our opponents' points or committing fewer team turnovers than the game before. Even in our toughest moments on the court, this team never rolled over.
"Next year, this team will be young, but a core five players return with some good varsity experience. We will be strongest and most experienced in our guard positions, giving us the opportunity to use our speed and athleticism to control the tempo of the game and generate offense in the form of fastbreaks. Tenacious, high-pressure defense will be one of the keys to our game."
In Western A, Falmouth went 6-12, but earned the 12th and final seed and played at No. 5 Gorham (13-5) in Wednesday's preliminary round, with the winner drawing No. 4 Portland (13-5) in the quarterfinals Monday at 7 p.m., at the Expo. The Yachtsmen played the Rams back in the 2001 Western B first round (a 48-36 win) and the 2002 Western B preliminary round (a 54-40 setback). Falmouth has no playoff experience with the Bulldogs.
The Yachtsmen closed the regular season with a loss at home against Cape Elizabeth (37-34) and a 49-20 victory at Kennebunk. Adelaide Cooke had a team-high nine points in the setback and scored 10 in the win.
In Western D, NYA garnered the No. 9 spot after a 6-12 regular season, capped by losses at Old Orchard Beach (58-27) and at home to Seacoast Christian (30-24). Chloe Leishman had a team-high six points against the Seagulls. Charlotte Esancy had 15 against Seacoast.
The Panthers went to No. 8 Vinalhaven (11-7) for a prelim Tuesday. The teams didn't play in the regular season. NYA beat Vinalhaven, 49-36, in the Western D Final and lost to Vikings, 56-39, in the 1987 quarterfinals.
If the Panthers were able to advance, they'll meet No. 1 Forest Hills (18-0) in the quarterfinals Tuesday 11:30 a.m. in Augusta in the quarterfinals. NYA doesn't play the Tigers in the regular season. The Panthers beat Forest Hills, 27-24, in the 1985 Western D quarterfinals, lost, 48-36, to the Tigers in the 1994 quarterfinals and won, 63-24, in the 2004 prelims.
Looking ahead, the Western A semifinals are Friday of next week at the Cumberland County Civic Center, while the regional final is the following day, Saturday, Feb. 22. The Western B semifinals are Thursday in Portland and the Western B Final is Feb. 22 in Portland. The Western D semifinals are Thursday of next week in Augusta. The Western D Final is Feb. 22 in Augusta. The Class A state game is Saturday, March 1, at the Civic Center, ( 4 p.m.), the Class B state final is Friday, Feb. 28 at 7 p.m., in Bangor, while the Class D state game is Saturday, March 1 in Augusta (1 p.m.).

Sylvia's right hand was cramping from holding the potato masher so tightly. Her right arm rose and fell like a piston, glasses on the counter rattled she was pounding so hard. The boys were in the living room, watching tv, the volume on so low that they had to sit next to the cabinet to hear. They knew that at times like this it was best to be as quiet and out of the way as possible. Sylvia wiped sweat from her forehead, spit into the potatoes and finished mashing. She grabbed the handle of the pot, walked to the kitchen table and slammed it down hard with a loud thunk. The boys jumped. They looked at each other. "Get in here. It's ready."
The boys slowly stood up, shut off the tv and walked towards the kitchen. Their mom was leaning over the open oven door, pulling out the ham. The boys quietly pulled out their chairs and sat down. Glasses of milk had already been poured. "Get over here and get your meat. I ain't carrying this to the table." Both boys stood up, took their plates and walked to the counter. Their mom brandished a large fork and carving knife, as she slashed into the ham, slicing two thick slabs.
Both boys looked at the thick slices. It was a lot of meat, but knew they would both finish it. Each boy put a few potatoes on their plate. "Make sure you get some green beans too. I know you two." Both boys looked at each other and spooned out some green beans. Sylvia slammed the over door shut, "You better have more green beans than that."
The boys sat down and started to eat. Jacob asked quietly, "Aren't you going to eat mom?"
"No, I ain't hungry. I have a headache. I'm going to go lie down." Sylvia walked out of the kitchen. The boys heard their mother's bedroom door open and shut.
"Thank god," Jacob said with a sense of relief.
"Shhhhh, she might hear you."

Regardless of the magnitude or the quality of the business, providing a commodity or a service, or the commercial enterprise in which the concern participates, in that are cardinal supporting functions which requirement to be performed. If the business organization is teentsy they can be performed one mortal or two, but all desires to be finished and through with resourcefully.
The basic is imagination. To supplant the company has to have a imagery of where on earth it is going, how it's going to get within and a timeline to mark the advancement. This is the what, how, for who, where, and why. Without a figment of the imagination the firm may live but it will not prosper, and in the time-consuming run it will not replace.
The second is dealings. The conglomerate has to breed the unsurpassed realistic produce or work called for by the nightmare. If what the firm offers to the marketplace is of bankrupt or variable quality, delivered late, or at too advanced a outgo the business will not take the place of. It may not even get off the broken.Post ads:

The tertiary is income. Revenue is the repercussion of marketing thing to a customer, a bonafide arms-length dealing. Without gross sales nearby is no business concern. Sometimes relations take in themselves into thinking that the advance practise woman finished beneath a forfeit or finished the use of investors' assets is a concern. It isn't. It's merely a firm when being will swop over their means for the trade goods or work make by the business organisation.
The fourth is dictate of the income. Most business general public go away this for last and commonly that's too delayed. Whether it's the owner's of our own money, wherewithal elevated from others, or advances from gratitude game or edge loans, the early example funding is put at the business' disposal, that's when exchange controls have to be in stick. The direct of resources is very all-important when revenues (sales) go over the top with the damage of operations, when location is more riches at the disposal of the commercial. This is when masses poor decisions are ready-made.
When a being starts a company they more often than not have the expertise to grip resourcefully one or two of these rudimentary functions. Sometimes they may even be competent to hold safekeeping of a ordinal - to several grade. Invariably here is one or perchance two that the personality can not do at all. Human humour human being what it is we all be to spend our event doing what we similar - which is usually something we can do very well. Again quality temper someone what it is we tend to close the eyes to what we don't resembling or can't do well.Post ads:

And that's a ill in enterprise. What you treat is what will get a large and bigger dilemma. A big inhibition disappeared unattended or unsatisfactorily accompanied can turn brutal.
What's riveting is that utmost firm owners cognise what they close to to do and do very well and what they don't like-minded to do and do faultily. It's likewise stimulating that conglomerate owners know when what they do under the weather (one of the cardinal above) wants limelight. But they yet put off winning any goings-on.
Perhaps it's because they don't cognise who to go to for help, or how to measure up to the back (the specifics and the mortal activity it) and are hangdog to confess it.
I recently detected different reason; asking for sustain goes antagonistic to our American "we can do anything," suppress the wild-west noesis. The more than I brainwave almost this, the more than I saved myself agreeing with it. We see it in the movies, read almost it in the yesteryear books, probably detected astir it from out parents, and witnessed it in act near friends and associates.
Assuming (a chancy thing, conceivably more so present) it's right, how can the firm proprietor keep his macho man in check?
Start by deed an consultative splinter group equally. Make it informal, maybe private sessions next to the individuals beforehand you bring up the pressure group equally. Be secure they are population whose words you significance and next be true beside them. Tell them you have an idea that you call for any help, that you ponder in attendance iv weather condition obligatory to get a business organization proud and that you have two crusted well, one only a little, but you are out of your ingredient on the fourth and let the questions set off.
One second entry - on the consultatory drove - take home assured within are few women in forte.

Directors Liz Ann Macgregor of the Museum of Contemporary Art and Carriageworks' Lisa Havilah discuss the state of the arts with Vogue's deputy editor Sophie Tedmanson.
In Vogue's March 2017 issue, Vogue's Sophie Tedmanson quizzed Liz Ann Macgregor and Lisa Havilah on the state of the arts.
Sophie Tedmanson: "Where did your passion for art come from?"
Lisa Havilah: "Mum was a ceramicist, so I grew up in a combination of a farming-slash-artistic environment. Then I studied painting and creative writing at art school and, with Glenn (husband and curator Glenn Barkley), set up an artist's space in Wollongong."
Liz Ann Macgregor: "I grew up in Orkney, which is right up in the north islands of Scotland, and there wasn't a gallery. That's why I'm interested in how you access contemporary art when you're not living in a city centre. My parents used to take us to galleries in Glasgow on holidays. My first memory is of an amazing Salvador Dalì painting of Christ on the cross. It was terrifying."
ST: "What is your view of the state of the arts in Australia at the moment in light of government funding changes?"
LAM: "The quality of work here is one of the reasons I was interested in coming to run the MCA. Over the past few years there has been increased recognition from overseas as a result of a consistent and strategic approach that is now in serious jeopardy because of the funding changes. At the same time we have been able to set up a partnership with Tate supported by Qantas for the co-acquisition of work to ensure that Australian artists are significantly represented in one of the world's great collections."
LH: "There is a very strong vibrancy in terms of the quality of the work that is made. There should be more international opportunities to present across the board with music and performing arts. I think there are lots of audiences who want to engage with that work, but where the ecology is starting to get fragile is that for there to be a healthy art sector there has to be strong resilient co-investment from all levels of government as well as the private sector. When some of those platforms start to fall down, or they become inconsistent, then because it is an ecology it starts to fall over and becomes more fragile and less robust."
LH: "We have to make sure that the pathways from education – the beginning of leaving school, into an arts education, into being an emerging artist, through those first opportunities in those artist-run spaces through to a major institution like the MCA or collection opportunities – are not broken. There definitely needs to be more cross-government industry collaborative policy written in terms of how things are supported."
ST: "Tell me about The National – it's fantastic that the three Sydney institutions (MCA, Carriageworks, AGNSW) have come together for the first time."
LAM: "We wanted to show how collaborative Sydney can be and we genuinely wanted to do something that showcased Australian art across the institutions in different ways."
LH: "It's a very significant three-year co-investment into Australian art, which is strategic and will have bigger outcomes attached to it."
ST: "It feels like the public perception of contemporary art has changed and is more positive. Would you agree?"
LH: "Art is more present in popular culture. I think it has become part of people's lives in that they will go and see an exhibition or go to an event. I think it's more integrated into life."
LAM: "I do think curators and galleries have become more open in the work they show. People assume that you go to a contemporary art gallery and you see a certain type of work. In fact, nowadays you're just as likely to see a beautiful painting as you are to look at a conceptual work that you have no idea what you're looking at."
ST: "You're both women successfully leading large institutions in Australia. What is that like?"
LAM: "It's bloody hard."
LH: "I think you get criticised for being ambitious. Your ambition can only be read as your own and not your ambition for your institution or for others."
LAM: "I was gobsmacked when I first came here. Being in a room where I was the only one who knew what I was talking about and nobody was listening to me. You have to prove yourself. It is hard enough to get the arts taken seriously and the fact that you're a woman gives them another excuse … and I'm talking corporates here – newspapers, editors, the kind of people who matter, if you like."
ST: "Has it changed?"
LAM: "Yes, it is much better."
LH: "I think it's because there has been a lot of work done to show how the arts contributes across society and can provide a range of social outcomes that are not just supporting art and artists, but that artists and institutions can contribute to those broader social outcomes. It is changing people's lives, it can contribute to health and wellbeing and can contribute to social inclusion in very innovative and new ways."
ST: "Do you think you bring something different to the job by being a woman?"
LAM: "I do think women are generally more collaborative. We try harder. We may not be any better at it but we certainly are conscious of it because you are so aware of this thing where you get called aggressive when you're being forthright. I was told by someone very prominent when I came here that the way I was dealing with a particular politician meant I had to pipe down and be less aggressive and be more feminine. And this was from someone who used to scream at me! I was supposed to be more feminine? Excuse me? And it was a woman who gave me the lecture!"
LH: "I think it is much harder for women to step up into artistic leadership positions or have the belief that they have the capacity to work in those leadership roles."
ST: "What do you love the most about working in the arts?"
LAM: "The people, the artists, the opportunity to do new things. It is a great family-type feeling."
LH: "I love going through the process of an artist having an ambitious big idea and then working with them with a team and delivering that into the public and then the public loving that work and engaging with it. I think it's incredibly rewarding."
LAM: "As Lisa said before, the social outcomes that come from this – we work with remote indigenous communities … it's not just about art in galleries, it's about art engaging with audiences."
LH: "And meaning something."

A car breaker in Northern Ireland with previous convictions for waste crime has been fined £15,000 on three new offences.
Robert James Morrow was handed the fine and ordered to pay a £15 offender's levy at Dungannon Crown Court on three charges of breaching the Waste and Contaminated Land (Northern Ireland) Order 1997.
On 30 April 2014, Northern Ireland Environment Agency officers investigated a site, partially owned by and under the control of Morrow, at Bracky Road, Sixmilecross, County Tyrone.
They found the property and surrounding area was used as an unauthorised treatment and storage facility for more than 700 end-of-life vehicles, with second-hand parts stored at various locations.
The site did not have a waste management licence or a licence to operate as an authorised treatment facility for vehicles.
Morrow had been previously convicted in 2008 and 2010 for similar waste offences at the same site.
