Meet John Krause, TWUA President
"Hi, my name is John Krause, and I am excited about the opportunity to serve as President of TWUA, for this coming year. I am anxious to begin my travels and meet as many of you as I can, at the various Regional Training Events."
From the desk of Russell Hamilton
TWUA – 101-Years Strong
The 101st Annual School was a great success. Attendance numbers for Annual School were just over 460 students and 80 vendor booths or 184+ individual vendor representatives. Norma Clark and Tom Ezell volunteer and help the association take care of the vendor aspects of Annual School, and they do a great job, and our thanks go to them. The exhibit hall looked great, and we received great feedback from all participants. Corpus is a great partner and a great place to hold our Annual Convention. To all those who were a part of the 101st Annual School, thank you for your support and participation. To all those who received awards, congratulations on your accomplishments. To all the instructors and volunteers who assisted – thank you.

I am seeking your thoughts, suggestions, and input as it relates to involving those new to the water and wastewater profession in the operator licensing process.
As you know, a little more than two years ago, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) made a change in the exam application process. The change was to go from paper applications to electronic applications, and to perform the background check and qualifications compliance, when the application is submitted.
A very similar process has been in place for years for those applying for the "A" license, just not electronic. Now all levels of applications are treated the same, and all are electronic. The most impactful change with this electronic application process is, TCEQ needs time to review and approve the applications. This review and approval process is requiring up to 30-days. So those desiring to test, either for the first time or to advance a license, must submit all the required paperwork and pay the application fee 30-days before the test date.
For the new hires, this application and testing process is something they have not been exposed to, so for the TWUA Regional Schools, we are noticing a decline in numbers of those hoping to be approved and challenge the various exams at the conclusion of the training event.
Your assistance and input is needed to help identify these new hires and help establish a system for notifying when TWUA Training will be provided. We also want to assist with reminders related to the 30-day TCEQ approval window.
If the person has a TCEQ license or has been in the industry for a period of time, contact is less of a problem. Where the breakdown seems to be happening is the new hires and those who have yet to license.
TWUA has established a Twitter account , and there is a Facebook page , but in your opinion, how do we effectively establish a following? How do we reach a new hire in your entity? Would it be of benefit to have a process on the TWUA website whereby the new hires sign up for a free email blast notification? If exam numbers continue to dwindle, TCEQ Central Office will stop making exams an option at TWUA Regional events.

Millen Music
Kenny Millen had a DIY website on Weebly when we met him. He was looking for a new logo for some increased exposure. We refused--his logo was just fine; it was his website that needed upgrades. The site was a little dated, was not responsive and was not geared to his desired audience. We took his information, researched his audience and designed a site that people love.
Project Launch: 25 December 2015
Company: Millen Music

Ken's other job is as a voice over artist. We are currently designing his site for his acting career. The site will have a similar look and feel to maintain his brand, yet gives any casting director the information they need.

Western New York is full of beautiful old homes that have been standing on their foundations for generations. We love them and cherish their old world feel; what we don't love, is their pint-sized bathrooms. But never let that discourage you! Your dream bathroom is not out of reach.
We are constantly bombarded by "special offers," "best sale of the season," and "only available here" myths of trying to capture the dollars in your pocket.
(Here's How to Do It without Breaking the Bank)
Window coverings aren't needed or desired in this wonderful home set on 8 acres along Canandaigua Lake. And why not? Because they would mar the spectacular view of the water and surrounding hills, the owner says.
Peppered with art studios and filled with turn-of-the-century homes, North Buffalo is replete with a sense of history and stately architecture. Homes here are rich with traditional character and craftsmanship.
Makeovers and renovations involve more than just sweat and sledgehammers. When it comes to designing your dream kitchen, there are endless options to consider.
The allure of natural stone is unmistakable: one-of-a-kind beauty, lasting style and exceptional durability. A carefully-selected granite countertop in your kitchen, a luxurious marble bath or distinctive slate floor will add value to your home for years to come.
Concrete carries an elemental beauty whose presence asserts strength and the reassuring comfort of durability. Despite being made of stone, it's very much alive with venation, pores, and a sense of movement that is unique to every piece.
Who doesn't love sunflowers? From Georgia O'Keeffe, to the huge fields that draw visitors searching for the next Christmas photo, sunflowers have been a staple of the garden.
"Surrounding yourself in a beautiful setting doesn't stop with the indoors," says Joseph Nardone, Interior Designer and owner of Nardone Home & Garden.
There are many benefits to owning a pool; and making the decision to have one installed in your yard is the easy part. Determining the type of pool to install is a little more difficult.
When putting down roots in the Adirondacks, what attracts us to the area in the first place often influences our vision of the perfect mountain retreat.

I love seafood and try to eat it when I get the chance. One of my favorite types of fish is grouper. This recipe is delicious and you'll be devouring your meal quite quickly once you taste this tropical fish!
All you need to do is use some Old Bay on the grouper or your choice of a blackening seasoning. I also used Sazon Completa on it along with a light breading.
Lastly, sautée the fish in butter. Slice up some limes and put it together with the tartar sauce and you'll have yourself a great little appetizer!

Well, all Of these things and more are jobs that Design Pickle has done over the last few months for me. You may post and out a job for a designer every time you have a tiny design job to perform.
Or you could get it done in 1 place. Oh, and it is"infinite" (more on this later) layouts for a flat monthly fee.
Inside This Design Pickle Review Strategy to discuss what I enjoy, what I do not enjoy, and what I've learned over the last year as I've employed Design Pickle for my own design needs.
I highly recommend that you check out Design Pickle Right Here.
If you haven't discovered, Design Pickle is an all round graphic design service for one flat fee. You can get unlimited designs with unlimited revisions for $370/month.
Alright, But what does"unlimited" really mean? About the design pickle site it states,"boundless requests","unlimited revisions","infinite brands". All of those things are true. However, I want you to go in with a transparent comprehension of what that means.
You may submit unlimited Requests and have brands, but it does not indicate you will acquire unlimited real designs every month, done. If I submit 1 million project requests in a month, I should not expect to get 1 million special graphic design jobs. That is crazy talk.
The way it works is that you've got Essentially one graphic designer assigned to your account. That same graphic designer also functions on a couple of other accounts (you are not the only customer they work with).
A Number of your jobs will Get finished faster or slower depending on how busy they are. However, what I've discovered is I can usually expect two or three graphic design tasks to be completed a day.
This Depends upon the complexity. Simple jobs will get more done tasks will take longer. Getting A Job In Graphic Design
My experience with Design Pickle
I've been a customer for more than 3 years and filed 1800+ layout asks.
When I subscribed, we Had a beginning but that was my fault.
I soon learned the Layouts I got back were only as good as the design brief they had to operate with.
So, I wrote and knuckled down Out a template brief that included as much information as possible.
This made it mad quickly for Me to fill in but still gave my designer sufficient info to use.
And I have had The exact same committed designer, John (he's amazing ). We've worked together for so long that he knows precisely what type of images I'm searching for.
You have to scroll Through our website archives to see lots of illustrations.
And based Seen for other customers, Design Pickle is capable of a lot more!
7 things I seriously adore about Design Pickle
Committed designer — Working with one designer (unless they're on vacation ) means they know what type of pictures I like. Great for consistency. My devoted designer, John, is incredible.
No contracts — I can cancel my strategy anytime. However, I get so much value from the service that I do not think I will actually offset.
The service is rock solid — Design Pickle happen to be moving for a little while now. I have been a customer for over 3 decades. The procedures and support staff they have set up is incredible. I have signed up for solutions from different providers offering similar"unlimited" design offerings and one specifically just wasted my cash since they did not have the kinks worked out in their services. This isn't true with Design Pickle — they know what they're doing and they deliver.
Tremendous number of design resources — Working for numerous clients means access to more design assets. This saves time for everyone and the upside for the customer is much more high-quality imagery.
Option of which file types you receive delivered — You have to pick which file types are delivered. If you want editable files like PSD's, AI documents, etc — you can select which you want. You'll also get the"ready to use" type files such as PNG, JPG etc.. And you can define which file types after submitting your petition.
Unlimited jobs — that I run a lot of different websites, and that list is simply likely to increase. But that is not likely to be a problem
My branding assets are kept on file to save everyone time — Whenever I launch a new site, I send the branding resources (logo files, etc) to support and they get them stored. I just have to define the project in the subject line of my email and they do the rest. How I utilize Design Pickle at the Moment
Since I'm asked about my Images so much, I wanted to discuss a little more on how I utilize Design Pickle right now.
When a new blog article is Completed I'll decide whether we are in need of an image to backup any of the articles. If it does, I'll write up a short and submit it to Design Pickle via email.
I will talk about this Briefs at a moment, but it will include a detailed description of everything I want, required links and picture dimensions for inspiration to picture illustrations. Getting A Job In Graphic Design
Then I have three templates For three distinct design briefs:
Featured images
Each pair of pictures Are focused on a single design concept, with"flat" styled images. They're cartoony, but not 3D.
I request the image Delivered in many unique sizes:
700 x 300 pixels — This features a flat/cartoon-like graphic overlayed on a background. The image measurements are exactly what I use for the featured image in WordPress
1200 x 628 pixels — This picture is just like above. And is sized for when content is shared to networks like LinkedIn and Facebook. We utilize a plugin called Social Warfare to our discuss buttonsthat makes it possible for us to upload additional image sizes for social networks.
1080 x 1080 pixels — Here is the picture we use for sharing on Instagram.
What's About ordering these dimensions great is I have an whole collection of images I can use for networks that are popular and your own blog.
Extra Pinterest images
While images are For branding great, that they don't always perform as well on Pinterest.
Thus, I submit a petition for Extra images that I will share directly to Pinterest. These can still have our logo and be the 735 x 1102 dimensions, but they'll look different.
In my petition, I'll send 3 Different names for inspiration for the post and example graphics.
This gives me the capacity to Experiment with different designs, and program hooks throughout the entire year for extra exposure. And since a pin's lifespan is more than any other type of media that is social content, the results can be great.
Thorough Pinterest graphics
Pinterest is a traffic Powerhouse, therefore I've been working on upping my Pinterest game.
Infographics typically do They may be expensive which makes tricky.
Here's what I do
I create a smooth and short Headline based on the original post title. I look over the post to find some information that could be used in a graphic that is standalone.
Depending upon how big the Article, this could be a list of each of those tips in one post or it could be the sub-headings in just a section of the blog post.
The great thing about these Types of images is that they can promote sharing more, and also add instant value for the reader. Getting A Job In Graphic Design
Now, each of these brief's Counts as a single request. So I'm submitting 3+ asks, depending on how many in-content images we need.
And some won't want any — I Like vision to be purposeful as possible.
It's also worth noting that We'll sometimes use in-content blog pictures to promote the post.
As I build our Instagram plan out, I will be making changes. I expand my design requests for every post to add quotes and suggestions.
I highly recommend that you check out Design Pickle Right Here.
A couple of other ways I use Design Pickle
I mainly use Design Pickle But there are a few ways I leverage their services.
For example, I had a logo for One job that wasn't large enough resolution — it was converted by them to a vector picture and delivered a higher resolution image.
Then there is the editing of Old pictures on the blog — especially infographics.
Exterior of editing existing Images, they create some leading graphics that I use when upgrading content also.
In my post on SEO Tactics, I talk about the importance of updating them and going over old posts.
This can Help You to Get a nice Bulge of traffic — especially from search engines.
The Majority of the time folks Update the material just, but what will help push things much further is imagery that is new. Notably vision which other individuals will want to mention in their posts (that means visitors + more visitors for you).
Recently, I did a complete Rewrite of my post. I wrote it years ago and it was in need of an update.
To follow the rewrite Had Design Pickle create an original pair of pictures that are featured as well as some pictures .
This included a custom picture To back up one of the points in my article:
At the End of this post I included a listing of niche ideas. So rather than displaying this we exhibited the information as an image.
It's a big image so I won't Include it , but it is in the bottom of this article, in the event that you want to have a look.
The upside?
These custom post Both Images are assets that are linkable. This means they can be leveraged for connection construction functions! And utilized in media campaigns.
It does require a subscription to, to get images like these Getty Images. This is handled by Design Pickle directly, which means you pay an extra $25/month. Well worth it, in my opinion.
Should you Are like me, you want to understand what the bottom line is. Are you going to be paying more or less with Design Pickle? Can it make sense to hire a graphic designer to get tasks that are one-off or use their services? Getting A Job In Graphic Design
You Will Need to think through The calculation to your company because you may have more or less complicated tasks you will typically request.
Here is my thought process:
To get a really professional site Header image done, it would cost me anywhere from $10 to $100. Just people would spend more than 50 though.
I believe $10 to $30 is a secure For how much a graphic designer would charge for blog header picture, guess. In the event that you were to employ a freelancer graphic designer for a logo, you can get something in the $30 to $50 range, and that's considered very affordable.
A US based graphic design company Would cost more or $800. Except for throwing you under the bus US folks…
I figure I will get at least 2 Jobs done daily. So, 2 jobs x 20 (and this may be on the low end) is $40 a day, or $1200 per month.
Therefore, yes…my calculations show that In the event you utilize Design Pickle sufficient, it's certainly worth the price.
But, another advantage that is Massive is The ease of use. My designer has gotten used to my personality and therefore it quick to dictate jobs.
That Would be it. If I moved to Upwork, I'd need to describe the job in detail, wade through candidates, expect they know my new, etc.. It would be slightly more time consuming than just using Design Pickle.
I think it worth Mentioning that design pickle has access to other stock graphics or stock images they can utilize. What this signifies is that you don't need to pay for or offer any stock pictures.
By Way of Example, let's say I needed a Image with text layover of a happy couple sitting on a bench. I would tell them to go find a stock picture of a happy couple and to add these words that are specific.
I don't pay for the stock photograph, Design Pickle already has it.
I've been using, as Previously Mentioned Design Pickle now for approximately a year. During this time, I have had them produce graphics for all my companies. I'd love to supply a few examples below.
I have used Design Pickle to make a couple logos for me. For instance, below is the symbol for the AMZ Image pluginthanks to Design Pickle.
Product Design and Graphics
I've used Design Pickle a number Of occasions to take my Amazon product images and make them look nice. This might be added images and descriptions into the images to callout attributes. Or it may be to improve the photographs in some way.
You can also use Design Pickle to Do ebook covers, software boxes and much more.
Facebook Ads
We utilize design pickle all the time To look nice looking Facebook ads. Getting A Job In Graphic Design
Printables with Graphics
Yes, this Is for my Mom blog. The options are endless with printables. If you can dream it up, Design Pickle will help design it.
Blog Header Images
The professional services are used by me at Design Pickle all the time for blog header images. This is a great way to spruce up a post to make it look professional, which subsequently helps readers stay. And we all know that time on site can really help your website rank in Google. So, does Design Pickle help your website rank better in Google?

I have used their support Create my presentations look professional on many of occasions.
Revenue Videos, PDFs, and much more
I've used a ton of graphics in my Revenue movies and PDFs. If you wished to write an ebook and sell it on line, you can really increase the perceived value of that PDF publication by having Design Pickle go through and make it seem great for you.
I have done this several times.
I had Design Pickle perform a Few product layouts for me. Yep merchandise layouts. I'll have the concept of the solution and they'll whip up a prototype for me that I can send to some producer to help clarify what I am seeking to do.
The best way to get the most out of Design Pickle
The designs which are Delivered are just as good as the short you submit.
And to save as much time As you can, you should produce.
Here are some great things to Include in your brief:
A detailed description of what you will need
Links to illustrations for inspiration
Your target audience
Color's to use, or not to utilize
Picture sizes (you can request multiple dimensions if you prefer )
Any other notes you think will help your designer
The more info you Include on your brief, the not as likely you will need revisions. And that is a good thing because your designer can be working on new designs instead of fine-tuning existing designs.
I also recommend submitting requests in batches. This signifies submitting them back and is gathering your orders .
Batching, Generally Speaking, is a Good way to improve productivity.
And even though I Didn't graphics would work out expensive. However, the reality is they'll still be a better price and better quality than if I were to get them from elsewhere.
Who is Design Pickle for?
If Your blog is at a place and you are looking at ways to scale — Design Pickle is a great way to offload layout jobs.
This means you can claw back Some of your time on developing your business and spend it.
You need to be Able to justify the cost, like with any purchase. However, you also have to be able to submit enough design asks for it to be rewarding.
And I'm getting requests Since my layout queue fills up completed for under $10 each is — there is always something for my own designer. And if my layout queue was only half complete, it'd still be worthwhile. Getting A Job In Graphic Design
I bootstrapped the launching of Before it made more than sufficient cash to cover costs like 22, My website and did all of the design work. It is only a case of waiting till the time was appropriate to get a service like this.
It's also worth noting that in case you can not convey what You need in an email, Design Pickle likely is not for you.
They do not offer Logo's and branding and for good reason — all these are services which are more costly. They can do infographics however give them and you'll need to supply data/stats because they are more time-intensive to create.
I counter Design Pickle Services with a lot of other services. By way of instance, I hire a designer Fiverr for my trademarks called Obus — he's outstanding.
And for I, infographics Because I can get content repurposed into a few extra formats at the same moment sometimes utilize PeoplePerHour.
IS DESIGN PICKLE Appropriate for You?
The chances really are much More than I could pay in this one blog article. For any job that you may do that could possibly need design, you can use Design Pickle for this.
You have to determine if Design Pickle is ideal for your business. Can you afford to invest $370 a month? Will using more images that is professional help boost brand value or your earnings by more than the cost of the service.
The Solution is definitely yes. Getting A Job In Graphic Design

Kim pulls a Kim, leaves little to the imagination
Reese Witherspoon & Jennifer LopezThese two glamourous ladies got coordinated at the Variety's Power of Women event. Reese chose Dolce & Gabbana, while Jennifer went for Valentino. Both looked lovely in red. Style winners.Getty Images
Kim KardashianKim paid the price of losing all circulation in her chest to wear this Yulia Kondranina dress. I wonder, is she having a hard time breathing? Also, I don't think her Givenchy shoes work with this outfit at all. Sorry, I'm going to have to fail this look. Style loser.Getty Images
Natalie PortmanLooking classy, as always, Natalie shimmers at the Children's Hospital Los Angeles' Gala in a sleek, silver column gown that looks quite lovely on the actress. However, I kind of wish she would have worn her hair up, but oh well, stars can't get everything perfect all of the time. Style winner.Getty Images
Hilary SwankAlas, I'm afraid Hilary left the top half of her dress at home. Although the skirt — worn to the Hamptons International Film Festival — is gorgeous, this is definitely a frock with one of the oddest cutouts I've seen in a while… and not in a good way. Style loser.Getty Images
Angelina JolieRemember when Angie used to wear Billy Bob Thornton's blood around her neck? Those days seem so long ago, don't they? Now, she's impossibly chic — chic enough to meet the Queen in a gorgeous Ralph & Russo outfit. Style winner.Getty Images
Keira Knightley & Benedict CumberbatchHow lovely are these two? Super lovely. Keira and Benedict glow as they promote The Imitation Game in London. Keira's Valentino dress is gorgeous — so romantic and delicate. And Benedict? Oh Sherlock, I love you. Style winners.Getty Images
George ClooneySince he made a huge mistake and married someone who wasn't me recently, I've had a hard time paying much attention to George. But, even though I'm broken hearted, I must admit he looks incredibly handsome in this suit as he promotes Tomorrowland at Comic Con in NYC. Style winner.Getty Images
Gwyneth PaltrowGwyn has great legs, so why not flaunt them? This white Versace number certainly gave her an excuse to do so. She looks pretty spectacular. Her hair looks better than usual, as well. Nicely done. Style winner.Getty Images
Jessie JLook, Jessie wore a bandage to the kickoff of Z100's Jingle Ball. (And I hated it, in case you couldn't guess.) This isn't terrible, but it's not good either. It's just kind of tacky. Style loser.Getty Images
Sarah Jessica Parker & Matthew BroderickI'm so excited that I have tickets to see Matthew's new play – It's Only a Play. Sadly, I probably won't be able to indulge in Elie Saab Haute Couture like SJP did when she went to watch the show and cheer on her husband. Style winners.Getty Images

Academy blog
In late 2015 Netflix reported profits dropping in the United States but growing quickly internationally. Their global expansion was offsetting slow growth in the domestic market, but they faced multiple challenges as they headed into dozens of new markets at once. In some countries subscriptions took off, while in others they stalled. In developing economies, most households lack Internet access. Most everywhere, audiences crave locally produced content in local languages. The price point that worked in North America was less competitive elsewhere, thereby failing to dim the appeal of pirated content.
For other players in the industry, Netflix's global expansion offers plenty of lessons. Foremost for a video service looking to penetrate a new market: Know the customer base, consumption trends and industry levels of performance. What do users want? What do they expect? How do they behave? At which quality should content be delivered to ensure premium QoE? With NPAW's SmartTrends—a module within YOUBORA—industry benchmarks, services know where they stand when measured against industry standards.
It's one thing to run an A/B test or MVT on existing customers to fine tune segmented video services, but what can a video service learn about a market before entering it? With SmartTrends broadcasters, media groups, OTTs and telcos can take the guesswork out of expansion into a foreign market. Highlighting trends from across the industry, content providers get an insider's view with a variety of metrics. Companies can see the top-ten best performing devices, ISPs, browsers, operating systems (OSs) and device types, which would allow, for example, a comparison of buffer ratio for a specific OSs and comparisons with the performance of industry leaders. Video services can use data-driven insights to define device strategy for a given country, for example, by breaking down plays by device type, vendor or model for that country to compare your performance levels with industry peers. Buffer ratios on mid-length videos at high bitrates in a given region can be compared to those at lower bitrates to determine ideal delivery strategies. QoE industry levels can be identified for the most used device and browser and for a specific content media duration to fine tune your content strategy and technical configurations. The same approach can be used to see where your video service stacks up by join time, average bitrate, play failures and a variety of other metrics to ensure premium QoE.
Once content providers have a foothold in a new market, these business intelligence insights help them measure their progress against industry standards, allowing them to focus on what's working and improve on what's not and to prioritize improvement opportunities while setting realistic goals. With SmartTrends, video providers understand what lies ahead in a target market, see how their service stacks up in markets they are already in, and know what it takes to keep a step ahead of the others.

FTC puts a $3M hurtin' on Blue Stuff
Blue Stuff is going to have to come up with the green stuff.
Topical-cream hawker Blue Stuff Inc., McClung Advertising and company
president Jack McClung have agreed to pay $3 million to the Federal Trade
Commission to settle a suit against it.
The FTC said the trio made unsubstantiated claims for "Blue Stuff" and "Super
Blue Stuff" creams -- that they would relieve severe pain -- in TV infomercials
that aired nationwide through most of 2001 and the first half of this year.
In addition to paying the fine, Blue Stuff must back up any future claims
with "competent and reliable scientific evidence."
According to the Federal Communications Commission, among the ingredients in
Blue Stuff ($59.95 for an eight-ounce jar) are Emu oil and witch hazel extract.
The Food and Drug Administration also warned Blue Stuff that its product
runs afoul of the Federal, Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
Also found to be making false claims were ads for the company's "Her Stuff"
cream and "Essential Stuff" dietary supplement (the FTC is currently reviewing the
entire dietary ad business with an eye toward reducing false claims and
The $3 million amount was set after a review of Blue Sutff's books. If
the FTC finds that those finances were misrepresented, the fine will escalate to $15
million. It will also immediately be upped to $4 million if the check on the $3
million fine bounces.

Then she shortened her helping weeks to 3.5 days to have more time to recover and let us slowly get used to other help and being more independent. That other help was a young university student who has been awesome help for 2 or 3 afternoons a week for the past 3 months. She's helped with Sam and Rachel as well as done housework a couple of hours each week.
This has freed me to go out with one babe and socialize or, lately, go out alone and get things done like grocery shop or running around town.
However, she's going back home to Ontario for July and August and that means I'll be on my own every day all week long.
This isn't scary for me the way it once was. Sam and Rachel are better at being entertained by themselves and waiting for me to do whatever needs doing. But I'm really going to miss the break it afforded me and the help with the house. It's been wonderful knowing the house is relatively clean each week.
Knowing my 'time off' is limited also has me thinking about all the little jobs I was hoping to get done while on mat leave..... sigh, I just don't know if I can fit them all into the next couple of weeks. Or if I even want to try.
Will think about it. And maybe start with a list. :) I love my lists!

Sue Judge is a parent carer who looks after her son, Tobias, who has a diagnosis of Asperger's, along with her other two children. Sue has struggled with the idea of calling herself a 'carer' to her son, despite his additional needs that demand more of her than a typical parent.
'It's a constant stress that is always there,' Sue says, of being a carer. 'I can't leave Tobias on his own in the house. Caring for someone is a day in, day out job that doesn't go away and that can be part of why it's so difficult.'
Through her work, Sue meets many carers and says people often feel the same way as she did.
'I've found it's an incredibly common theme for people to feel like it's 'just their job' to look after someone – particularly if it's their child,' says Sue. 'And I say to those people that if you don't look after yourself you can't give, you can't pour from a cup which is empty. There is help and support out there.'
When Sue's mother became ill in 2014 and also needed looking after, Sue had to stop her work as a nutritional therapist for some time.

This website will be upadated before, during, and after the Morris Leadership Retreat (Sept. 13th-17th of 2004). Till then, check out this (economic community building
Background Info
I would like to personally thank the Blandin Foundation beforehand for creating/organizing this retreat. The 4+ day retreat will be held at Sugar Lake Lodge, in the forestry city of Grand Rapids, MN.
Morris Delegation
There will be 24 delegates from Morris attending this retreat; representing various sectors (public, private, religious, etc..>) of our small rural college town community. Below are some of the organizations they are representing:
It's Sunday, September 19th of 2004-I got back from the Morris Leadership Retreat Friday evening. I had a long enough rest (was asked to by Blandin's President), so I'm ready to implement and write about my awesome 5-day retreat experience.
Blandin Community Leadership Program: Knowledged Learned
Monday-Three Core Competencies of Community Leadership:
I learned a lot of "technical terms" in building leadership skills in the community: framing (clearly communication your vision), social capitol (buidling your networks by starting with the sphere of influence), mobilization (moving forward with your mission), etc...All these 3 skills were expanded in depth throughout the week.
Tuesday-Skills for Building Social Capital & Managing Conflict
I learned more about networking, which we were asked to list some community organizations we were affiliated. From the list, we can build the list of people we can connect within the community. For example, I put down "Center for International Programs: International Students", which my affiliation (volunteer helping UMM's International Students adjust to Morris life) with this organization can lead people I know in the community to be involved too.
There are conflict issues everywhere (e.g. home, workplace, community, etc...), which we learned how to better be a reconciler. Also, we learned how to better use our communication skills (e.g. listen) to better understand another.
Wednesday-Introduction to Community Mobilization & Community Futures Exercise
When we start a community project, when do we know it ends? We learned how and when to start-continue a project. Our trainer separated us into 5 groups according to projects that we as a group would like to see in Morris:
1) What to do with the Morris Elementary School Building?
2) Water Park?
3) Stadium Complex-football field and outdoor track facility to be shared between Morris Area High School and the University of Minnesota-Morris campus
4) Beautification of Main Street (Atlantic Avenue)
5) Alternative Biomass Plant
Please feel free to e-mail me at email@example.com on your feedback, suggestions, or complaints on any of the above projects. Also, e-mail how can you be personally involved in making the project(s) you are interested in seeing happen in Morris!
Thursday-Introduction: Developing Your Leadership
We were split into 4 groups as we had a schedule of various activities:
-Skit Presentation of Morris Vision (future) using the "8 Common Dimensions of a Healthy Community" (see down below)
-Community Futures Exercise Video Review as a group: critiquing and encouraging one another's leadership skills (tasks and skills) with the help of facilitator/trainer-staff from Blandin as we watch a video recording of yesterday's exersise
-Peer Consultation as a group: critiquing and encouraging one another's leadership skills (tasks and skills)
-Staff Consultation: reviewing results of the MBTI Preference (personality test) test we took online prior to the retreat and where to go with it. We met a licensed pscyhologist/consultant (mine was Don Streufert, who teaches(mine teaches psychology at UMD's Psych Dept), who "digged" for our personal and community goals (e.g. mine was to make "ethnic minorities" feel home in Morris by reaching out to certain groups, like migrant workers. Also to network different groups on racial issues to come up with a "Reasons to Learn about Ethnic-Racial Diversity".
After meeting in separate groups in the 4 different sessions throughout the day, we met as a whole group to perform the skits we practiced earlier in the day. This was informational and fun!
8 Common Dimensions of a Healthy Community
*see bclp2004 (list of delegates in each 8 dimensions-thanks Ben!)
1. Life Long Learning
2. Valuing Diversity
3. Spiritual, Cultural & Recreational Opportunities
4. Safety and Security
5. Community Leadership
6. Environmental Stewardship
7. Infrastructure and Services
8. Economic Opportunity
Ben just finished (11/11/04) the results of all 8 Healthy Communities Report->MergedBlandinReport-great job Ben!
*see Morris Vision 2010 (side 1 & side 2), which was developed from the first group of Blandin Leadership Retreat leaders in 1999-2000.
Friday-My Community Leadership Development Plan, Team Homework Assignment, and Re-Entry: Taking the Program Home
We were asked to choose one of the 8 dimensions that we were most unfamiliar and interested with. I chose Infrastructure and Services: Transporation, Health, and Disability. I was paired with 2 others and we discussed the various questions of the specifics mentioned above on this particular dimension. We plan to work on this when we go back home in Morris and report our individual results sometime in October-16th, Friday.
Community Issues/Topics
We learned about topics or issues in concerned in our community besides the 5 mentioned above in small/large group get-togethers:
-All American City Finalist in 2004, trip to Atlanta this summer
-Campus and Community "Positive" Relations
-National Guard Deployment
Fun Times
Besides eating (e.g. Belle Le May Chocolate Cake) the well-prepared meals together. I loved the times of "hanging out" together as a group every evening. During the long sessions in the daytime (8am-6p), we weren't able to really get to know one another. We took advantage of this during the evening over a bonfire or inside the Hospitality Room (Rm 106-a paricular room in a townhouse section close to the Conference Room).
We also had our share of laughs during the day-time sessions. One that sticks out was one of the attendees' famous quote "It's like pole vaulting over small mouse terds"-pertaining to not making a "big deal" on "small issues".
Getting to Know One Another as A Community
Also, the best part of this retreat was getting to know others more that I haven't got change to know more and new people that I never met. It was definitely a "getting out of your comfort zone" experience, which I've learned when I was a student at UMM. I compared this retreat as my own personal experience as a student at the "UMM's Multicultural Retreat in 1999". We need to keep taking steps like these to cross over in our community in getting a bigger perspective of our community as a whole. Sometimes when we get so involved in our own individual lives, cliques, or organizations we are affiliated with; we get a narrow view of our local, state, nation, or global world! Then we start judging or getting the wrong perceptions of others that are not similar with us.
Welcome Back
It was good to get back together again after close to 3 months since we all got together at the 1-week retreat in Grand Rapids. Each person shared about their "busy" life these past 3 months and how they have applied the life-application material we received. I shared about how my one&one meeting at the 1-week retreat with my consultant helped encouraged me to help coordinate and re-start a ESL (English as a Second Language) weekly program. This was with the help by using the existing "assets" (UMM Spanish Club) of the community to "reach-out" to the "forgotten-invisible" migrant workers at a dairy farm 10 miles southwest of town.
Introduction to Asset-Based Community Change
We divided ourselves again, but into 4 different categories we as a group felt that we we like to see a change based on our community's assets:
Description: Have new salons, massage services, and shopping-overall service opportunities that Alexandria offers that Morris can also. Instead of people driving all the way to Alex, they can stay in Morris and get almost the same opportunities.
Stakeholders (key people that will either support or be against this): Anonymous
2. Marketing Morris Area
(Team-Cindy, Jess, Roger W., Carolyn, and Caren)
Description: "Communtiversity"-a common word to use as a college-campus community to show our community pride. Using video promotions and other technological ways to advertise our city. Later in our "Homework Assignment Presentations" in the morning, we broke down into our group of 8 "Healthy Communities". Here we shared all the research study (see MergedBlandinReport) we each as a group came up. Vic listed the "stregnths" and "weaknesses" of each groups' topic presentation.
3. Education as a Resource
(Team-Judy, Karen, and Sal; Roger joined the next day)
Description: Use our key assets (UMM, Centre for Small Towns, Community Ed, Work Force Center) in our community to develop an all-around education program to "connect" graduates with jobs related to their field of study. For example, our community has many health-care related jobs that are not getting filled because the "lack of career related" course work of study at UMM. For me, I work at a group home for developmentally disabled adults, which the skills to do this job wasn't taught as a college student. Yes, I had a Liberal Arts for the Human Services degree, but most of my "classroom" style of learning didn't prepare me to do this. Of course I didn't know what I was going to do after college, but having some "on the job" style of learning would've helped me.
Challenge: finding appropriate training in the needs of the health-related jobs that are not filled by qualified "trained" college graduates
Public Announcement Group Skit: "Stop and smell the roses in the Morris area where you attend school and stay to work in one of the many employment opportunities (e.g. SCMC/Prairie Medical Associates-hospitals, group homes, Superior-metal welders); meeting your needs and of the community"-Sal's addition
4. The Factory-"Cultivating Entrepreneurship"
(Team-Ben, Steve, Pat, and Angie)
Description: Increase business opportunities in our city
Social: Video
Despite some "technical difficulties" with the VCR-T.V., we were able to watch the recorded video of our presentation on the last day of the 1-week retreat at Grand Rapids. We had some good laughs, particularly "Rockin' Roger" and "Skatin'/Dancin'? Peggy"!
Introduction to Public Communication
We did a special group exercise where we each had to put a puzzle (triangle, trapezoid, square, etc...) with different shapes together. The challenge was to have the majority of our group "team-members" communicate to the 3 individuals (that met at the hotel lobby earlier) to put the puzzle together w/specific instructions (e.g. couldn't put the puzzle until they gave us all the instructions/directions, so we had to memorize what they tell us without being told the "step by step" process). The group I was in, an individual team member of the 3 (including me) accidentally "touched" one of the puzzle pieces during the instruction/direction part from the majority of our group. We had to then put the rest of the puzzle pieces together wo/ the rest of the complete directions. Fortunately, the individual "team-member" was a skilled handy guy (lego fan) and with the other 2, we were able to get the puzzle finish before the other groups!
Developing A Persuasive Message
1-attention grabber
2-clear and concise
3-know who your audience and what they want from you
UMM Student Center: Oyate Hall @evening
All Blandin Leadership Retreat Alumn (1998) and current participants will come together to PARTY!
Overall, I would like to say a personal THANK YOU to:
24 Morris Leadership Retreat Attendees
Mary Jo and Vic, sharing their knowledge and wisdom through the sessions all week
Blandin Foundation Staff-for organizing this retreat
Sugar Lake Lodge Staff-for making us feel home as possible
Roger McCannon for driving me 4 hours plus to and from Grand Rapids, which I enjoyed every minute of our conversation!

Frequently Asked Questions
I had a compressed .bkf file of 4 GB. Is it possible to recover my file of 5 GB from a compressed .bkf file of 4 GB?
Yes, it is possible with the help of SysInfoTools Backup Exec BKF Repair software. The software supports the recovery of a compressed .bkf file. As the .bkf file is compressed, its size is less than the actual size of the file. Our software, SysInfoTools Backup Exec BKF Repair, uses an advanced decompression algorithm to decompress data from a compressed .bkf file even it is corrupted. It's the only software in the market that supports recovery of a compressed .bkf file.
Which recovery mode should I choose: Standard or Advanced Mode? Why?
As there are two modes for recovering corrupt .bkf files, you should try both one-by-one. Standard Mode is a fast recovery mode as it takes less time to repair corrupt .bkf file(s). However, if the selected .bkf file(s) is severely corrupted, then some data or files might skip while recovering the .bkf file(s). In this recovery mode, minor corruption issues are fixed, but if file is severely corrupted and Standard Mode fails to recover data from it, then the Advanced Mode should be chosen. Advance Mode is not as fast as Standard Mode, but it does not skip any data or file(s) while recovering corrupt .bkf file(s). Standard Mode supports .bkf recovery with Heuristic scanning feature, where Advanced Mode does not support this feature. If you want to recover your SQL databases from your corrupt .bkf file(s), then you should choose Standard Mode as it supports recovery of SQL database from .bkf files.
If a corrupt .bkf file of 20 GB is split into four parts, is it possible to recover my data from the second and fourth part of the file?
Backup Exec or BE supports the splitting a large .bkf file into multiple parts. Generally, this feature of BE is configurable. As you have mentioned that you have a .bkf file of 20 GB that is split into four parts, i.e. 5 GB each, the third part of the .bkf file has been deleted, so you don't have it. The main problem is that your .bkf file is corrupted. Certainly, the second and fourth parts are linked to the third part of the file, but if the third part is missing, then you may face a problem while recovering data from the second and fourth part. In such a critical situation, you must use a third-party BKF recovery software. SysInfoTools Backup Exec BKF Repair software supports the recovery of corrupt .bkf file that is split into multiple parts. This is the only software that supports such a feature, and no other software application in the market supports the recovery of split .bkf files.
How to use SysInfoTools Backup Exec BKF Repair Pro software to repair corrupt .bkf files?
SysInfoTools Backup Exec BKF Repair Pro software is an easy-to-use application that requires no technical expertise or any relevant knowledge. The following steps are required to recover data from corrupt .bkf file(s) by using this software:
- Launch SysInfoTools Backup Exec BKF Repair Pro software on your system.
- Click the "Open" button, then "Select BKF files to recover" window click on Add Files button.
- Select corrupt .bkf file(s) from your system and click "Open".
- Selected .bkf file(s) will be shown in the list.
- Now, select any recovery mode either Standard Mode or Advanced Mode; if the selected .bkf file contains SQL database files, you can check the box Recover SQL Data (you may also check Heuristic scanning box) then, click "OK".
- Software starts scanning the selected .bkf file(s) - it will take hardly a few minutes to complete, and once the scanning process is completed, the scanned file(s) will be shown in the tree structure.
- Now, expand the file(s) and the folders inside it; then, click on any file to see its preview in the "Preview Pane"
- Now, select the folders you want to save and click on the "Save" button
- In "Select folder path" window, click on the "Browse" button to select a location to save the selected folders
- Once the location is selected, click on "OK;" you may also check "Save files in folder hierarchy" box before clicking on "OK"
- Software starts saving the selected folders at user defined location. It will take hardly few minutes to be completed. Once the saving process is completed, you will receive a message saying "File(s) saving process has been completed" then, click on "OK"
- Now, click on the "Close" button to close the software application
Is it possible for to restore my SQL Server database files from corrupt .bkf file by using this software?
SysInfoTools Backup Exec BKF Repair software can easily restore your SQL Server database files from corrupt .bkf file. Backup Exec stores your SQL Server database in a very different and specific manner inside a backup MTF format. It might be difficult for other third-party BKF Recovery software to read and recognize this format, but our software recognizes this format and is highly capable to read it. Therefore, it can easily restore SQL Server database files from a corrupt .bkf file.
What is "Heuristic scanning" feature? How is it useful?
Our software needs to parse certain signatures/tags, which are found in the corrupted .bkf files. These signatures/tags vary extensively and new are added in successive versions of BKF file making software programs. The Heuristic scanning feature is highly proficient to recognize these signatures and performs heuristic matching. Thus, allowing many new signatures/tags to be qualified as valid signatures/tags, thus, resulting in faster recovery process.

Essential Information
Many schools offer online master's degree programs in clinical information, a sub-field of health or medical informatics. Students can watch lessons through video streaming, usually as their schedules permit. While many courses can be completed online, most programs require hands-on experience in the form of an internship or practicum. A master's thesis or research project is usually mandatory, too.
These programs are open to students with bachelor's degrees and take 2 to 3 years to complete, depending on if they are full- or part-time. Some master's programs allow students to choose a specialty track as a clinician. In this track, students might take courses in telecommunications and computer networks and the design and implementation of database systems. Other courses may cover project management, the impact of new health information technology on society and health information systems.
Graduates of a master's degree program in health informatics may be eligible to apply for certification from professional health information organizations. If this is their goal, they should make sure their program is accredited by the proper agency.
Master's Degree in Clinical Informatics
Health informatics, including the sub-field of clinical informatics, is the integration of technology into healthcare delivery and research. With a focus on improving patient care and safety, clinical informatics programs combine computer and information science with knowledge of the healthcare industry and clinical practices. Students learn about health information systems evaluation and management, interactive health technologies, data analysis, current legal and social issues in informatics, research methods and system security.
Candidates should have a bachelor's degree, and schools may require a minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or a year of healthcare experience. Some online programs are accredited by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), and graduates from these programs can seek certification as registered health information administrators.
Information and Requirements
Online master's degree programs in clinical and health informatics can be pursued part- or full-time, and are generally completed in 2-3 years. Online instruction is delivered in the form of video streaming, assigned readings, PowerPoint presentations, live Web conferences and discussion forums. Course content can usually be accessed at any time, but some sessions may be scheduled at specific times or dates. Most programs require completion of an internship, practicum, master's thesis or research project, and several days of on-campus attendance may be mandatory.
A high-speed Internet connection and headphones or speakers are a must. Web cams and microphones may be necessary for some interactive multimedia content. Other possible requirements are a minimum of two gigabytes of free disk space, Windows Media Player and an Adobe Flash plug-in.
Sample Master's Degree Courses in Clinical Informatics
Course offerings and content in informatics programs can vary widely between schools. Below are examples of typical required courses for a clinical informatics master's degree candidate.
Introduction to Health Informatics
This is a general overview of the history and current role of information technology in the healthcare industry. Students are introduced to health information-related technology concepts such as bioinformatics, evidence-based medicine, information retrieval, decision science and security concerns.
Health Information Systems
Instruction emphasizes the evaluation, selection and implementation of healthcare informatics systems in a variety of organizational settings. Topics such as industry standards, regulatory policies, organizational behavior and economic impact are covered.
Data Management and Applications
Students learn about data representation concepts and database technology relevant to healthcare delivery. Topics may include data warehousing, provider and patient identification, data analysis, computerized provider order entry (CPOE) and electronic health records (EHR).
Project Management for Health Informatics
Standard project management concepts, skills and tools are covered, including terminology, project planning, budgeting and human resource management. Students may be required to design and plan their own health informatics project.
Issues in Health Informatics
The effects of information technology on our society are explored. Possible topics include patient confidentiality, U.S. healthcare regulations, intellectual property rights and other legal, ethical, political and economic issues.
Career Information for Graduates
Graduates with a master's degree in clinical informatics often become healthcare executives or administrators, clinical database managers, clinical information systems analysts and clinical project managers. Opportunities can be found in medical practices, hospitals, nursing facilities and non-clinical environments such as research labs, pharmaceutical companies and insurance agencies.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) in 2018, the continuing expansion of the healthcare industry portends faster than average job growth for medical and health services managers. Employment in the field is expected to increase at a rate of 18% from 2018 to 2028, with growth especially fast in medical group practices, which are becoming larger and more complex as technology advances (www.bls.gov).
The BLS also reported that as of May 2018, the average annual salary for medical and health services managers was $108,730 in hospitals and $90,920 in physicians' practices. Average salaries ranged even higher in non-clinical settings, with pharmaceutical companies paying medical managers an average of $221,290 per year.
Continuing Education Options
Postgraduate and post-masters certificate programs are available in health and clinical informatics. Students complete 3-8 courses and usually have to maintain a 'B' average or better. These programs can serve as an introduction to health informatics or provide professional health service managers with specializations such as clinical software engineering, clinical informatics management or informatics privacy and security.
Online master's degree programs in clinical informatics are widely available as fully online programs. Courses on topics such as project management, health informatics and data management prepare students for managing and executive positions in the healthcare industry.

a seven smile morning and some more pictures from Tatoosh Wilderness
Oliver was in bed with us this morning and I noticed he was stirring and opening his eyes. He looked too warm in the blankets pushed up against Diana's side of the bed so I cradled him up and kneeled at the edge of the bed and propped him against my pillow so we were facing each other. His eyes were bright and wide and he was making an "oh papa oh papa" face so we talked about how we were the first ones up in the morning and that meant we got to eat worms and he smiled seven times at me over the next couple minutes! All separate smiles! He has been officially smiling for about a week and a half, now. My first smile from him (an obvious smile, not a fart smile) came in Sequim at Donald and Amy's vacation rental house. And then on Friday, right before I left for Packwood and the hike up to Tatoosh Ridge I shaved my beard off and went into the livingroom to surprise Diana. She had just finished nursing Oliver and he looked up at me and smiled nonstop for a full minute, hahaha! We joked that he was amazed to finally see my face.
Here's a view from my high point for the evening on Tatoosh Ridge, I was perched on a heather bench at the edge of a northeast-facing cliff. It was a pleasant place to take some deep breaths and contemplate how close I'd come to not making it all the way up here! The Tatoosh lakes are below to the right and I have a picture at the end of this post featuring them along with Mt. Rainier but I liked this one better and that's why I featured it first. I like how you can see the meadows on the other side of the ridge, that's where I traversed across in this direction. And if you know your Tatoosh you can make out the surprisingly wide-looking-from-here gap between Plummer and Pinnacle Peaks.
Here's a picture of Mt. Rainier that puts the Tatoosh into proper perspective, I would say. I'm not sure what we're looking at here, it appears too bulky to be the backside of Unicorn Peak.
On the way down I tried to take advantage of the pretty backlighting……
Here's another version of the picture at the top of this post. The difference here is you get the view of the lake basin on the other side of Tatoosh Ridge. As you can see, in the evening it can be a little tricky picture-taking the lake basin because of creeping shadows. And on top of that you have the competing brightness from all the snow. Apparently, snow tends to linger in the lake basin below.
Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) there's no camping allowed right at the lakes, your campsites have to be a little higher up in the basin. Speaking of that basin, according to Manning it can be a tricky proposition hiking down into it (cliffs and such). Better have your backpack balanced properly!
Oliver took a bottle tonight, a first! I got to do the honors. Diana was worried we'd waited too long, apparently she's heard horror stories about some babies who refuse bottles because too much time has passed since they were born. But I knew there would be no problem since Oliver inherited my insatiable appetite. Shukis men are not picky about where they get their food. He eagerly slurped down 4 oz. Diana will keep nursing Oliver, obviously (she nursed Adam until he was a year old). But it will help me out a lot when it comes to giving her some free time now that I have a way to feed Oliver when he gets hungry. The only downside is that at least once a day I have to banish Diana to a secret place in the house so she can hook herself up to her breastpumping machine. We both agreed that this time around I will not be allowed to witness her using the machine. It's simply too compromising to my love of breasts to see them being manipulated in such a humdrum manner. Occasionally I'll blindfold myself so we can sit and chat, but the rhythmic blubbling-tugging sound of the machine can be distracting as well.
