The world exists upon the kindness showed by others, and that this kindness keeps alive the souls of those needing care. What I like about being a caregiver is that, for clients who cannot do many of the things they used to do, like running around and getting things done to take care of their families--life now begins anew based purely upon things that matter now today-- the worth, the thoughts, and the amount of attention that is paid toward them. This is a time of really focusing only on the present moment, and it takes a certain degree of concentration even to do that, sometimes. They are now the person who need this the most. My greatest personal achievements are when clients, who experience a decrease in function, and sometimes can hardly move or talk, are the most appreciative for my attentiveness to understand them. The story of the Good Samaritan identifies a good neighbor as one who shows kindness, and the rewards write upon the heart and soul. Caregivers are to the aging population a group who recognize that aches and pains are not going to go away. What some call a disadvantage, or disability serve, in many ways, to be an advantage because we shift our focus and attention toward what is really important in life-- people and how they are treated. I am only one of many like-minded caregivers who believe that a moment of clarity with loved ones--paying attention to the good in the moment--is the same as finding diamonds in your own backyard. Thanks for hiring through the Carelinx network!

Renton, WA

What a great caregiver means to me is to be able to show empathy and compassion toward the clients and families that I work with. By taking the time to fully understand my patient's needs and giving them the patience to work through their rehabilitation at their own pace, I show them that I care about them and that I want to do what I can to help them. I become a caregiver because I enjoy working with people. I love helping the individuals and their families to create the tailored care that is needed. I also enjoy working with the elderly in overcoming the difficulties associated with their health issues and helping them maintain their highest level of Activities Daily Living. The most satisfying part about being a caregiver is knowing that my clients and I foster a bond that makes me feel like a part of their family. In addition, the trust that my client's family put in me to ensure that their love ones are safe and taken care of is quite rewarding. I know how it helps the family feel at ease. One of my personally favorite achievements I'm proud of was helping one of my post-surgery clients at home with PT and OT; and enabling her to walk with a cane again instead of being restricted to a wheelchair.

From Verlyn Klinkenborg of The New York Times comes this paragraph today…
Nearly every image of nature I have ever come across misses the sense of intricate confusion underfoot in the woods, the thickets of goldenrod collapsing into each other along the roadsides, the rotting tusks of fallen beeches broken against the western hillside. It almost never makes sense to talk about the purpose of nature. But now — until the snow comes at last — I could easily believe that the purpose of nature is to create edges, if only because every edge, no matter how small, is a new habitation. As purposes go, that could hardly be more different from my own, which is to reduce the number of edges here, so that the big pasture is bounded by four clean lines only, free of interruptions from sumac or knotweed or shattered maple limbs. Left to itself, nature is all interruption.
It is almost as if he is issuing a challenge to the photographer in me. I know what he's talking about though, I've taken those images and trashed them once they were developed because the focused view in the picture captured nothing of the actual image my eyes saw as I clicked the shutter. I was already thinking of some sort of photo project dealing with the woods along the bayou behind my house after visiting FFF this morning and reading his agenda list for the new year. Who knows maybe Fred and Verlyn can inspire something that will lead to a furthering of this stumble toward the next phase of my life.
BTW — Happy 2007

The Sports Xchange
By Jerry Beach, The Sports Xchange
Davis' two homers help Mets beat Pirates
NEW YORK -- Unlike most of his teammates, Ike Davis will look back fondly on the second half of the 2012 season.
Davis hit two homers -- including his 30th of the season -- and had a career-high five RBIs, and Jenrry Mejia earned his first big-league win with five shutout innings as the Mets beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-2 in front of an announced crowd of 22,072 at Citi Field Monday.
The Mets (70-83) won their fourth in a row, marking only their second four-game winning streak since the All-Star Break. The Pirates (75-78) fell to 5-17 in September and moved another defeat closer to their record 20th straight losing season.
Davis has been one of the few bright spots for the Mets in the otherwise bleak second half. He's hitting .257 with 18 homers (second most in the NL) and 39 RBIs since the All-Star Break. That follows a first half in which Davis, who missed the final 126 games of last season with an ankle injury and was felled by Valley Fever during the spring, struggled badly (.201 with 12 homers and 49 RBIs) while the Mets went 46-40 and surged into playoff contention.
"The difference is I'm just not awful like the first two-and-a-half months," Davis said. "I was terrible. I felt like I had never played baseball before. I kept saying that I'm not going to play this bad forever. I don't think it's possible for anyone to do that. You guys could pick up a stick and do better than I did."
With his second homer of the night -- a three-run shot in the fifth that provided the Mets' final runs -- Davis became the first Met to hit 30 homers in a season since the Mets moved into Citi Field in 2009. The two-homer game was the third multi-homer game of the year for Davis, who hit three homers against Arizona on July 28 and two against Houston on Aug. 26.
"Ike told me 'You won't see that again.' Told me many times 'You will not see that first half again from me,'" Mets manager Terry Collins said. "And if that's the case, tack up another five or six or seven home runs on that list because of what he would normally do in the first half. You've got huge numbers coming."
David Wright, whose 29 homers in 2010 stood as the single-season best for the Mets during the Citi Field era prior to Monday, scored on both Davis homers and added an RBI single just before Davis' second shot. The single was the 1,416th hit of Wright's career, leaving him two shy of tying Ed Kranepool for the most in Mets history.
Mejia (1-1), making his fifth big-league start, allowed four hits and two walks while striking out four in five shutout innings. Mejia, who lasted five innings for the first time since his first career start Sept. 4, 2010, threw 72 pitches in the first three innings but battled out of trouble by stranding runners at third in the first and second. Pirates shortstop Josh Harrison ended the third when he was caught in a rundown between third and home on a grounder to second.
Mejia threw just 24 pitches in his final two innings, which Collins hopes provides him the confidence to attack the strike zone instead of nibbling.
"I think he realizes he got something out of tonight, that, 'Hey, look, if I throw my pitches in the strike zone, I can get outs,'" Collins said. "When he threw strikes, he got them out. He got in trouble when he fell behind in the count and had to go toward the middle of the plate more."
The Pirates broke up the shutout in the eighth, when Andrew McCutchen tripled with one out and scored on Garrett Jones' single. Jose Tabata added an RBI single with two outs in the ninth. Neil Walker had two hits for the Pirates.
"We definitely had opportunities earlier in the game to get things started, but it just didn't click for us," McCutchen said.
Davis gave the Mets a 2-0 lead in the fourth with a two-run homer to left-center field just beyond the reach of a leaping McCutchen.
Pirates starter Kyle McPherson (0-2) was chased after 4 1/3 innings. McPherson allowed four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three in his second career start.
NOTES: Mets closer Frank Francisco remains day-to-day with tendinitis in his right elbow. Both Francisco and Collins are hopeful he'll pitch again this season. ... The Mets are 34-44 at Citi Field, assuring themselves a second straight sub-.500 mark at home. The Mets were 34-47 at home last year. This will be just the third time in the last 20 years the Mets have finished with a losing record at home in consecutive seasons. ... The Pirates must win at least six of their final 10 games to avoid two bits of unwanted history. The Pirates have already suffered 19 straight losing seasons, the longest streak in the history of the four American professional sports. And ESPN and Elias Sports Bureau reported Monday the Pirates are in danger of becoming the first team ever to finish under .500 after being at least 16 games over after 108 games (two-thirds of the schedule). Through Aug. 8, the Pirates were 62-46, but they are 13-32 in their last 45 games.

A living legend in the Corvette world will be honored this fall when he is inducted into the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame.
Ron Fellows and five other Canadians – the late Bob Armstrong, Jimmy Carr, Tom Walters, and Jon and Sharon Fletcher – will be inducted during a ceremony in Toronto on Sept. 28, 2013.
"I wish to congratulate the successful inductees for their dedication and contribution to Canadian motorsports," said Dr. Hugh Scully, chairman of the Hall of Fame.
Fellows, of course, has long been respected by Corvette enthusiasts for his outstanding performance as a member of the Corvette Racing Team from 1998 to 2007. He won 27 races and three ALMS championships, took two wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and also earned "Most Popular Driver" awards from ALMS fans for an unprecedented four straight times.
Although he hasn't raced for the factory team since 2008, he remains active in NASCAR events and is tied with Terry Labonte for the most road course wins in NASCAR history. He has served as an advisor for the GM/Pratt & Miller factory team and an ambassador for Corvette in general, attending races, Corvette Corrals, Corvette functions and charities, often auctioning off passes to the Ron Fellows Driving School for charities.
GM even paid tribute to Fellows by producing the "Ron Fellows ALMS GT1 Champion Corvette Z06" in 2007.
Fellows is a prime example of not giving up on your dreams. He began his career in Karts, which led to Formula Ford 1600 and Formula Ford 2000. When money got tight, however, he left racing for nine years to be a gas pipeline worker. He returned to the track in the 1980s with help from driving school instructor Richard Spenard and made his professional debut in 1986 in a showroom stock Camaro in the Player's GM Challenge.
His career has been a diversified one, as he is one of the most successful drivers in the history of the SCCA Trans-Am Series with 19 wins in 95 starts. He also has wins in NASCAR truck and Nationwide stock car competition.
He even has a 1997 victory at Mosport Park in the IMSA GT Championship driving the legendary Ferrari 333SP.
Fellows is being inducted into the Hall of Fame as a competitor as well as a contributor. His Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting Championship encouraged and developed young drivers, and he's a driving force in the Canadian Karting Championship and Team Canada Rotax World Finals program with Canadian Tire. After spending much of his adult life at Mosport, he became co-owner of the track in 2011, and its rejuvenation as Canadian Tire Motorsport Park reflects his vision.

Chef Mario Batali, who has been accused of a pattern sexual harassment that led to his firing from "The Chew," used his corporate newsletter to apologize — and offer a tasty recipe.
BuzzFeed reports Batali wrote, "I have made many mistakes and I am so very sorry that I have disappointed my friends, my family, my fans and my team. My behavior was wrong and I take full responsibility."
He ended the short note with, "I will work every day to regain your respect and trust."
In a startling P.S. that came out of nowhere, Batali used the occasion to offer a recipe, writing, "ps. in case you're searching for a holiday-inspired breakfast, these Pizza Dough Cinnamon Rolls are a fan favorite."
Many on social media were quick to point out the incongruity of a fun holiday recipe in the same note as a serious apology.
In addition to losing his gig on "The Chew," Batali announced he was "stepping away" from his businesses in light of the allegations.

Over the last 18 years, options for acquiring and analyzing images has increased dramatically. Today's choices include Camera Link, CoaXpress, Camera Link HS, USB (2 and 3), GigE Vision, 10 GigE and the newer Thunderbolt I/O. However, limits exist for all these technologies with regards to cable length and bandwidth. These limits create challenges for even the most experienced machine vision application engineer.
Camera Link and CoaXPress are highly recommended for high speed events. Camera Link (now at version 2.0) is still a go to standard, with a maximum distance of 10 meters and a payload throughput of 850 MB/s it was built for real time, high bandwidth communication. Buyers of Camera Link have plenty of options when it comes to the cameras, as well as all the connected devices that use the Camera Link standard (as of the last posting, 84 manufacturers have licensed Camera Link products). The newer, CoaXpress standard was introduced by the Japan Industrial Imaging Association in 2009 and in cooperation with other interested parties maintain the standards. CoaXpress offers users up to 6250 Mb/s of data transfer at 40 meters and 1250 MB at 130 meters which is more robust, although there are less than 10 manufacturers of CoaXPress cameras, supported devices such as Frame Grabbers and cables are well represented in the industry.
With the limits on distance and bandwidth, Camera Link and CoaXPress posed design challenges as the cameras had to be closer to the objects being captured and recorded. Technology introduced in 2016 allows extending the range and maintains the high quality, high speed imaging for which standards are known.
Leading the way in these technologies, Kaya Instruments based in Israel has introduced extenders for both Camera Link and CoaXPress. Constructed of two converters, one on the camera side and one on the Camera Link/CoaXPress frame grabber side, these devices provide bidirectional communication over fiber. The camera link extender offers 10.3125 Gbps equal to Camera Link Full/80 bit (Deca) over a single fiber cable. The CoaXPress extender introduced in 2017, increases the standard CoaXPress transmission distances yet maintains the low jitter, low latency and high resolution CoaXPress delivers. The extender enables video, control signals and power over CoaXPress (PoCXP) transmission for full control of data stream and camera handling. The CoaXPress range extender can provide a downlink of up to 6.25Gbps and uplink at 20.83Mbps. Other options from Kaya Instruments include; CoaXPress over Coax, Single Link CoaXPress. Additionally, acquisition systems for both Camera Link and CoaXPress provide the extended distances and increases data transfer rates using interface boards with the extender. Starting at around $1,500 these devices will expand Camera Link and CoaXPress capabilities making these standards a solid go to solution for high speed, high bandwidth, extended distance applications.
Other manufacturers are also recognizing the need to extend the range of Camera Link and CoaXPress. Manufacturers Phrontier Technologies, SkyBlue, and Vivid Engineering are just a few who have solutions available.
So, don't let the limit of the standard hold you back, these relatively low-cost devices can Extend your Vision. If you are facing a challenging vision project, give us a call or email us at [email protected]. With 20 years of experience in machine vision, we have most likely already solved your challenge. Machine vision is touching every industry and solving real world problems, can't wait to see where you all take it next.

Real-Life Dads Finally Get Their Due
My husband (an awesome dad!) regularly gripes about how dads are portrayed in the media. And he has a point—it seems like the media image of dads hasn't progressed beyond the "doofus dad" mode, even after a major diaper brand took the heat for insulting dads by showing them as completely incompetent when it comes to diaper changing. (Heck, even manly-man actor Channing Tatum spent a good part of an interview crowing about his diaper-changing prowess!)
Maybe there are pockets of these retro, hands-off dads out there, but all the dads I know and love are thoroughly involved in their kids' lives—spending hours crafting Lego creations with their kiddos, taking late-night sick duty, and yes, changing diapers.
Dove and Today both surveyed moms and dads to get a sense of the current state of fatherhood. The Today survey found that 75 percent of guys thought being a dad was their most important job, and more than half of the guys said they'd become a stay-at-home dad if they could afford it. (Though only 54 percent of guys said they change diapers—what gives?!?)
Dove's research focused on dads' media image, and it turns out, most guys are not entirely pleased with how they're portrayed. While more than 75 percent of guys out there feel that they're responsible for their children's well-being, only 20 percent of guys feel like the media shows that aspect of their lives.
And I love Dove's shout-out to the dads out there (have some tissues handy, and a phone to call your own dad).
Tell us: How does your husband rate as a dad? Is he super helpful, or are you the one doing most of the diaper changing and late-night duty?

Studies & Degrees in Industrial Automation
Choose where you would like to study Industrial Automation:ArgentinaDenmarkSpainThe United States
Industrial automation is utilization of information technologies and various control systems to dramatically decrease the requirements for human work and input for the production of products, services, and goods. It is a step up above mechanization, which sought only to aid the human workers with the strength based duties of their work. Industrial automation not only assists in mechanical improvement of work, it also reduces the need for human sensory input and mental analysis. As technology takes great leaps of advancement at an increasing pace, industrial automation also becomes increasingly important in many facets of every person's daily living experience.
Industrial automation has a very strong impact not only on the obvious field of engineering and manufacturing, but on other fields as well. For example, in the field of communication, much of the multitude of telephone operators that used to control the phone lines have now been replaced by more efficient and more cost effective automated answering machines and telephone switchboards. In medicine, processes such as radiography and electrocardiography are screened in the initial stages through automated systems. Even the laboratory analyses of cells, genes, and human tissues are accomplished at a much higher rate of accuracy and efficiency with instruments developed by industrial automation. Banks have been able to make the most out of industrial automation with the development of the automated teller machine which made 24 hour banking possible.
Because of this continuous development of industrial automation, there is a great need for people with expertise in this field. Proper education and training in this field is essential to keep the advances in check and to make the most of the automated technologies that are constantly being created and expanded.
A course in industrial automation would involve in depth studies regarding industrial automation software and hardware. Topics would usually dwell on familiarity with software concepts and relays, configuring input and output systems, entering and editing data, and establishing awareness with common industrial automation hardware. Heavy reference would also be given on industrial automation systems and networks. This would dwell on topics such as accessing system variables, messaging across networks, and tags (both produced and consumed). Familiarity with the different families of processors and their related hardware are also usually included.
Additional training for industrial automation topics such as troubleshooting and maintenance, motion control, and concepts development are also provided for a more rounded instruction. Troubleshooting and maintenance knowledge and skills are very important in the field of industrial automation. Diagnostics and connection training are usually the main thrust in this area of discipline. However, determining and locating systems faults and errors are also given great attention.
With all of this training, there are a lot of job opportunities available for the specialist in industrial automation. Manufacturing companies, medical offices and laboratories, communications companies, and information technology corporations all have a distinct need for industrial automation skills. Even the financial sector has a high demand for industrial automation specialists. Work as programmers, laboratory technicians, machine operators, production supervisors, and control systems managers are all within the realm of possible positions to be filled.

Study of Non-Covalent Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions using Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry
- Author / Creator
- El-Hawiet, Amr Mostafa
This thesis describes the development and application of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) methods to study protein-carbohydrate interactions in vitro. The affinities (Ka) of two recombinant fragments of Clostridium difficile toxins (TcdA & TcdB) and a library of the most abundant human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) were quantified using the direct ESI-MS assay. The results of the study revealed that both of the toxin fragments recognize, albeit weakly, a variety of HMOs ranging in size from tri- to heptasaccharides. The results of molecular docking simulations suggest that a disaccharide moiety (lactose or lactosamine) is the core HMO recognition element for both toxin fragments. The protective effects of HMOs fractions, extracted from human milk, were tested using the verocytotoxicity neutralization assay. However, the results revealed that the HMOs fractions do not significantly inhibit the cytotoxic effects of TcdA or TcdB. Combining the direct ESI-MS assay and competitive binding, two new ESI-MS assays were developed. The reference ligand ESI-MS method allows for the quantification of protein-ligand complexes that are prone to dissociation in the gas phase while the proxy protein ESI-MS method allows for the quantification of carbohydrate binding to large protein complexes that cannot be directly detected by ESI-MS. Using the reference ligand ESI-MS method, affinities of two carbohydrate-binding proteins for monosaccharide ligands were quantified, while the proxy protein ESI-MS method was used to quantify the interactions of tail spike protein of bacteriophage P22 (180 kDa) together with its mutant to their natural receptors. The results of binding measurements performed using these new methods were in excellent agreement with the reported values. A catch-and-release (CaR) ESI-MS assay for screening carbohydrate libraries against target proteins was also developed. Ligands with moderate affinity (104 - 106 M-1) were successfully detected from mixtures containing >200 carbohydrates. Additionally, the absolute affinities were estimated from the abundance of free and ligand-bound protein ions determined from the ESI mass spectrum. Multiple low affinity ligands (~103 M-1) were successfully detected in mixtures containing >20 carbohydrates. The use of ion mobility separation, performed on deprotonated carbohydrate ions following their release from the complex, allowed for the positive identification of isomeric ligands.

Mulch is organic or inorganic material used as a protective cover over soil to help conserve moisture, inhibit weed growth, maintain stable temperatures and enrich the soil. It can include pieces of wood, fallen leaves, flower blossoms, needles, twigs and other types of material. It can also harbor termites. Mulch can also be inorganic and made out of pebbles, gravel, plastic and other products that do not decompose.
 Benefits
Mulch helps to in soil and water conversation of gardens. It is also used to improve the organic matter in soil and control soil temperature. Many gardeners also used mulch as a decorative element around homes, near trails and driveways and on playgrounds.
 Mulch reduces and prevents the growth of weeds by smothering the unwanted plants and preventing germination. It can also be used to protect roots of trees and other plants from the blades of lawn equipment.
 Infestation
While mulch provides many benefits to home gardens, it may also lead to infestations of termites. It is made from wood products especially chips are especially vulnerable to termites (see References 1 and 2). Termites have large underground colonies and the come to the surface to feed on wood. Colonies can contain as many as a million soldier and worker termites. They are tiny insects with antennae and wings that start out as larvae. They may travel several hundred feet in order to find food. If mulch is spread near buildings, termites may infest the wood foundations and cause structural damage.
Termite Treatment
Termites feed on anything that contains cellulose and nest in soil. If you notice termites in mulch close to your house, contact a lawn pest control professional for an inspection. Get estimates from several companies to make sure you pay a fair amount for the service. If necessary, have them apply the termite control treatment around your house.
Termite Prevention
Keep mulch at least a foot away from building foundations (see References 4). When applying, do not let it cover house sidings or window sills. Buy mulch from reliable sources like garden stores and city-run mulch centers to avoid introducing infested material into your lawn. Apply termite treatments around buildings available from garden stores.

Just hosted a red egg party for my friend Mel and Dan who just had their baby girl Olive Mika Beal.
Since it's red egg ginger party, I made red eggs and created favors out of them by putting them in little tin pails, printing custom labels with the baby's name on it and paired it with some ginger candy.
I made some simple arrangements for the table.
I worked with her parents to create a very filling 10 course Banquet menu. We started out with an assortment of dim sum
We had quite a lot of steamers since they had over 90 guests arrive.
We then moved onto ducks buns, lobster soup, sesame prawn salad, fragrant basil chicken, steamed whole fish, BBQ pork spareribs, house chow mein, and then forbidden rice pudding with coconut and goji. Needless to say they had quite the banquet.
I'm very happy to have been involved in the whole event and I want to thank Gail and Tony for choosing Fang as their venue of choice for this special event. It's that much better when you get to plan something that is for a good friend of yours. Here's to the happy couple and their new bundle of joy Olive!

The Niggle
- Anna Dyson
- 1 Comment
Yesterday was the holiest day in the Jewish Calendar, Yom Kippur. Ten days ago we celebrated our new year, (Rosh HaShanah), and Yom Kippur is the culmination of ten days of reflection and introspection; we reflect on the year that has past; about our actions which may have caused hurt, our inactions which may have done the same, and on Yom Kippur we pray to God for forgiveness, and for another chance to try better in the year ahead.
In the community there is a guy who I highly respect, and am lucky enough to meet with for coffee regularly. We meet in the guise of planning a series of events for the synagogue community, but we also have a good catch up about life, the universe and everything in-between as well. When we met last week, he told me he was worried about me. Taken aback, I enquired why. He answered, 'Because you rush around too much. I see it all around me, and it worries me. You are rushing so much you don't have a chance to do things properly.' Gosh. I was quite taken aback. My initial reaction was to get defensive, argue that I was fine thank you very much, and I did think I was doing things well (enough) thank you very much, and drink up my coffee and leave promptly. But there was a little niggle. It was the same niggle that I had when I rushed in to our chosen cafe five minutes late to meet him, and the same niggle I had when the day before I had left someone else I had an appointment with waiting at my door for five minutes because I had chatted with another mum on the school run so was running late. He was speaking the truth, it hurt, but there it was. His voice was ringing in my ears for the rest of the week, and I determined that in this new year, I would rush less and do things better.
In synagogue yesterday, I sat next to another person I highly respect,and am lucky enough to consider a friend. During the service, at the reading of a section of our holy book, the Torah (a.k.a Five Books of Moses, or Old Testament), a list of laws was read. She turned to me and said, 'my mother always told me to do this one – the wages of a labourer shall not remain with you until morning (Lev 19:13) – that's why I always have cash for the cleaner.' And there was that niggle again. She had highlighted, on the holiest day of the Jewish year, that niggle I had each time I said those words, 'I'm sorry I don't have the cash, can I pay you next week?' Another truth that I was determined to improve upon this year.
During one of the small breaks yesterday, another person who I highly respect was sitting just behind me, and I turned and we chatted. She asked how the kids were. I answered that I didn't really know as I had stormed out of the house to get to synagogue on time, leaving my husband to sort them out and bring them later. I expected raised eyebrows, and shock, but she replied with a wise smile, 'Yes I remember doing the exact same thing one year, and all the way to synagogue all I could think about was how ironic it was.' I almost started crying as that was EXACTLY what I had been thinking in my stomping march to synagogue earlier. I was trying my hardest to get to synagogue on time, but in doing so I had abandoned (or so it felt; for the record my husband did a sterling job getting them all there in one piece with everything they needed for the day) my family, which surely very high up on my list of things to get right. That same niggle niggled again as I determined to have more patience with my kids, and try to get the balance right of being a mother, wife and good Jew at the same time.
So I want to say thank you to the community members who made Yom Kippur meaningful to me yesterday, in the most surprising of ways, and hope that for those of you reading this, you are fortunate enough to also have friends or people in your lives who can speak truths to you, and that you are able to listen and act upon them.
Brave Anna! Thoughtful, authentic and honest writing (and not just the writing, it's who you are as well. Of course! ) with these ingredients, even mistakes are not mistakes. Through your openness, your commitment to ideals and the necessary journey to achievement, you will achieve. Onwards and upwards x

The Smith Machine is a weight machine consisting of a fixed barbell within steel rails allowing for vertical movement. Using the Smith Machine can benefit your booty workout by giving you better balance and stability through allowing you to press your weight onto it while you lift. By lifting a stabilized weight, you can focus more on your glutes muscles and less on your upper body and balance, as you would be doing when squatting without the Smith Machine.
The following video will demonstrate 9 listed Smith Machine exercises , respectively.
Basic squats: This exercise is commonly known. Put your feet a little wider than shoulder width apart, and bend at the knees; feeling the tension in your glutes and pushing back up with your weight in your heels.
Feet Together Squats: This is the same squat, just with your feet together. This puts even more pressure on your glutes and forces you to push up through your heels.
Lunges: Get into the lunge position and do about 15 reps, then switch legs and repeat.
One-Leg Lunch: For this exercise you'll need to bring over a weight bench. Put one leg up on the weight bench behind you while you squat with the other leg. Again, do about 15 reps and then switch legs.
Hip Thrusts: Keep the weight bench out and rest your upper back on it with your feet flat on the ground. Rest the weight on your pelvis with your hands in between the bar and your pelvis for support. Really squeeze your glutes at the top of these thrusts for full efficiency.
Deadlifts: Doing deadlifts on the Smith Machine will grant you more balance, thus potentially giving you the ability to lift more than you would without it.
Knee Squats: You'll need to get a mat for this exercise, which is simply a squat on your knees. Taking your lower legs out of the equation completely allows for complete focus on the glues.
Donkey Kick Backs: This exercise is an alternative to using a Kick Back Machine. Keep the mat out, get on your hands and knees and lift the bar up with the bottom of your shoe, and then switch legs.
Smith Leg Press: Doing leg presses on your back is just a fun way to switch everything up, and really focus on your lower glutes. Lay on the mat for comfort, and put both feet under the bar steadily, then push up. Bring the bar as far as you can into your chest and repeat.
All of these exercises can be done using your comfortable amount of weight and reps that fit your workout routine and lifestyle best. Don't over do it; it's okay to use less weight in order to complete the workout.
Some of these exercises are a little advanced and could subject you to injury if not completed correctly. When lifting any amount of excessive weight, it's crucial to bring a workout partner or ask someone to spot you while you lift, even on the Smith Machine.

Church. Luka cradles his head in his hand. Fr. Lackey runs out and tells him that he was helping Bishop Cromwell to get undressed when he collapsed. Luka rolls him over, puts his ear to Bishop Cromwell's mouth, and rubs his chest, telling Fr. Lackey to call 911 and tell them they have a man with possible respiratory arrest.
Elizabeth arrives at Valium Villa, which is dark. She flicks on the light and screeches Mark's name a few times. She finally finds him in what appears to be their bedroom, dully staring ahead. She sits down next to him on the bed and asks what happened. Mark replies, "He recommended formal competency testing." Elizabeth sighs loudly as Mark continues, "Psychiatrist, neuropsychologist, MRI, personality test -- it's going to take five days." Elizabeth sighs again, and hugs him, saying, "I'm so sorry." "The good times just keep comin'," Mark mutters. Okay, but, the thing is? If you fail these tests, you shouldn't be a doctor -- and that would suck for you, but -- as I have been saying all along throughout this stupid storyline -- people's lives are at stake, and your ego should take a back seat to that fact, and to their lives! If you really are confident that you are competent to treat patients, you should relish this opportunity to prove Weaver wrong and stick it to her! And if you're not, you should take that as all the evidence you really need that you should take. Some. Time. OFF. GOD. Sorry, but I refuse to feel sorry for him.
Snowy tree branches. Luka staring up at snowy tree branches. Lisa finds him staring and asks what he's doing. Luka explains (sort of), "I couldn't find a forest." She actually says, "Huh?" but Luka has no further response to give her, and smiles up as the snow falls on his face. Lisa exposits that Luka brought Bishop Cromwell back, and asks how he's doing. "He's dying," Luka tells her. Lisa suggests, "He might surprise you. We get enough miracles around here -- why not one more?" Luka says nothing, and Lisa finally says, "I'm freezing! You ready to go home?" He says he is. She turns to go, and then turns back expectantly; he wraps his arm around her and they head home.

Product Description
Albanian Red Hot
C. Annuum
Aprox. 50,000 – 100,000 SHU
Another corker of a corker…The Albanian Red Hot pepper is a rare heirloom variety from the Albanian-Macedonian region that was discovered by Pepperlover. They had seeds sent to them by a Turkish friend who says that it is famously used by Turkish villagers in making their local chilli powder. This is what has been said about it and we can only agree wholeheartedly. "Very sweet, almost cherry like sweet with rich long lasting taste of acidic-heat without any bitterness. By all means, this pepper is a true treasure, when we used it fresh it was mouthwatering, when we made some into powders, it has its own unique sweet-lightly acidic and sour flavor which we didn't experience in other peppers. No need to smoke this pepper, it has its own woody/mushroomy aroma."
This type of skin is referred to as "vezeni" (meaning "embroidered") and the longer you leave on the plant the more embroidered it gets. The Albanian Red Hot grows to around 20cms long and 3-4cms wide, so if you like your chillies big, flavorsome, easy maintenance and super productive go no further.

With Gen Y's $2.5 trillion in purchasing power focused more on fitness and less on fatty goodness, times have been tough for the likes of McDonald's, Wendy's and other fast-food joints. Taco Bell and KFC parent company Yum! Brands recently reported a disappointing set of third quarter earnings, while McDonald's sales have been under such pressure that, earlier in the year, the Golden Arches company said that it would stop releasing its monthly sales reports. But according to one Wall Street analyst, the road ahead for these companies isn't entirely bleak – and in fact, there could even be bright spots thanks to initiatives like all day breakfast and mobile ordering.
In a "Dining Disruptors" note released Wednesday, Citi analyst Gregory Badishkanian takes a deep look at the fast-food industry and the hottest issues affecting dining giants like McDonald's and its burger brethren. Among his conclusions: breakfast is good, labor concerns remain, and restaurant operators can't get over-zealous when it comes to price increases.
Let's start with the breakfast argument.

I will be working and living at New Zealand's scientific research station Scott Base; located on Ross Island, Antarctica, from late September 2014 until late November 2014. I'll share stories, updates, photos (yes, penguins), and increasingly strange journal entries as the oppressive, ever-darkness of winter sets in and drives me mad. My role as Base Engineer involves the operation and maintenance of the life support systems (generators, heating, fresh water, etc.) and general engineering needs of the facility and the scientists who brave the short summer months to conduct their research and experiments (and possibly the odd film crew). I've always dreamed of doing this! I finally got the job! My First Month: September/October Sept. 12: Well, a whole week of computer system training just before I leave and I suddenly realize that I am the engineer (Samuel Jackson) in Jurassic Park trying to get all of the systems back online after Newman crashed it, and any moment now I'm going to have to run to the generator room and manually start the power again before the raptors escape their pen. Fun fact: For those who didn't know, fire is a massive risk in Antarctica, despite the cold and all the snow and ice, because it's one of the driest places on earth.
Oct. 1: My first day of work at Scott Base was accompanied by continuous heavy snow fall and tropical temperatures reaching -7.7C.
I had my first power outage to deal with this a.m. We share a common power grid with the U.S. base and allow McMurdo to control our little generators remotely while the wind farm is up and running. So when they have a power blackout, we do too. So I got a 'baptism of fire' as we had to rush to the plant room and manually take back control of our generators and start one up.
Oh $#!t I think the raptors escaped.
Oct: 4: Last night I was given some (brief) Antarctic survival training on our annual work camping trip. This involved pitching tents, digging a kitchen bunker, peeing in bottles, and pooing in plastic bags.
It was all fun and games until the weather tuned on us and suddenly it was -37C wind chill with poor visibility. My dinner kept freezing to my spoon before I could get it to my mouth! My lesson learned?
Don't lick a metal spoon that's been exposed to -37C if you value your lips and tongue. Also, peeing into a bottle in -37C offers a similar lesson—don't let it touch the sides.
Adds a new meaning to freezing my South Pole off that I never wanted to learn.
Oct. 10: Last night the weather finally started getting bad by Antarctic standards. We went to Weather Condition ONE; this means no one is allowed to leave the building on fear of death…cold instant death. 100km/h wind, almost zero visibility, and about -40C wind chill.
So in accordance with Murphy's Law, that meant that my engine room alarm went off at 3:30 am and we (all the base engineers) had to go outside and fix a door.
At least the sun was still up.
Oct. 16: I went out side just before 8 a.m., sunny (cold) and a bit of wind, to check the fuel levels in our main fuel tanks. This involves climbing up a 3 meter ladder and pulling up the dip sticks. By the time I was done, the weather had gone to condition 1 and I was in a complete white-out. Couldn't see the buildings or any other land mark to guide me back to the safety of the workshop. We aren't allowed outside in this weather for our own safety, but that doesn't help if you are already outside when it changes. So I stumbled off in the dirrection I believed was home and a line of vehicles emerged out of the white haze, thats a relief, I'm heading in right direction, and then the buildings reappeared from the swirling snow.
It's only 50m from the tank to the workshop, but it felt like a mile.
Oct 19: Oh, and then there were the penguins. Happy Feet! (They weren't even dancing to Stevie Wonder though).
My next post involves a Wettle seal giving birth to a baby, the last sunset for 2014 (it's soon to be continuously daytime), and wearing thermal imaging goggles, and some great photos.

Successful family business boards include several common elements
Successful family business boards include several common elements
Corporate governance. Yawn.
The words are long and drawn out—just like board meetings. You don't have time to sit in a boardroom. You've got production and sales to worry about, and you're down two customer service people. You're running a family business, not a multinational corporation. Governance takes care of itself, right?
If this is how you think about the leadership of your successful and fast-growing enterprise, rub the sleep out of your eyes and think again. Strong corporate governance in the private sector has become a critically important topic. While public company boards have a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders, private company boards can have a fiduciary or an advisory role. Still, the oversight responsibilities of private company boards are just as critical as those of public company boards. The board plays an especially important role in family-owned companies, which have the unique—sometimes difficult—dynamics of family relationships to contend with.
In my more than 30 years of investment banking for family companies large and small, I've seen just about everything. I've seen some very good companies fail because they didn't have a board and, as a result, lacked the insight and discipline that good governance provides. I've also seen good compa
nies with boards flounder because the board didn't have a defined role, wasn't properly structured or was missing the skills needed to ensure long-term success. On the plus side, I've seen marginally performing companies improve and succeed because they established boards that understood their role, had the requisite skills and were staffed with experienced and candid outside directors who weren't afraid to tell the owner the truth.
Clearly, just having a board and setting up a façade of governance isn't enough. My experience, which includes service as a director of several family businesses, has shown me that there are several common elements to successful boards.
An explicit board charter
In order for a board to govern effectively, it must understand its responsibilities—the bounds of its governance—which must be clearly defined. It should also know its purpose, as defined by the business owners.
A board's most important responsibility is CEO accountability. While it may be difficult for family company owners to cede some of their power to a higher authority, the fact is that the most dynamic and highest performing CEOs want accountability in the form of a strong board. Why? Because they end up performing better!
A board charter—a formal document, even if it's in the form of a letter—should define specific accountability factors and how they will be measured. While opinions on many other topics will differ, as they should, effective boards look at accountability from the same perspective. Simply reviewing metrics isn't enough. Board members must understand their meaning and how to interpret them in the context of the company's strategy.
Another critical board responsibility is CEO succession. This is frequently the most difficult issue the board of a family company must face, often because the founder or sitting CEO doesn't want to do so. While family ownership could be the basis for establishing a solid line of succession, boards must be honest in assessing the talents of all potential management successors. Someone with the right last name isn't necessarily qualified to take the reins. This too should be outlined in the board charter so that everyone—the board, management and family members—understands that the stability and health of the enterprise are paramount.
Some companies have formal training programs to immerse their board members in their business. Many smaller companies don't, but some form of onboarding is important. While the board's role should be unfailingly strategic, board members with a solid understanding of the company's defining processes will have a context for contributing to strategic discussions.
Selecting and compensating board members
With an explicit board charter in place, the task turns to selecting board members. This process should be carefully thought through and documented.
Begin by setting terms for your board directors. Three years is a reasonable place to start. A three-year term provides ample time for a director to learn the business and make a solid contribution. It also offers the flexibility to bring in fresh directors if the board becomes stale or its culture goes awry. If things are going well (i.e., if there is vigorous discussion and healthy debate), members can be reappointed. Either way, directors know they don't have a lifetime appointment, which dovetails with expectations detailed in the board charter.
Create a qualification matrix that identifies the disciplines and expertise you feel are important, and that augment your own knowledge and capabilities. Use the matrix to arrive at candidates, applying priorities that are specific to your situation. For example, you might have a need for directors with experience in finance, marketing/branding, HR or IT.
While candidates from your industry may come to mind first, skilled individuals from other fields can offer fresh perspectives and wise insights. A diverse board will provide a broad range of viewpoints. People with prior board experience are highly desirable. It's generally a good idea to seek out those with experience on family company boards.
One of the biggest mistakes I've seen owners make is putting their cronies on the board. Childhood friends and college buddies make great golf, skiing and hunting partners, but as board members they generally leave a lot to be desired. It's better to engage independent directors—a majority of them, in fact—who can give unbiased advice.
Independent boards enable you to avoid the echo chamber phenomenon, in which your views are simply reinforced by people with allegiance to you. Strong boards seek to question your answers rather than answer your questions. Independent directors offer a window to the world outside your company.
When selecting board candidates, hold firmly to the matrix you created. You need people with specific expertise; select your directors for what they know rather than whom they know. It's easy to find people willing to sit on your board. But it's hard to find the right ones, which is where compensation comes in. Compensation should be neither the primary motivator nor a de-motivator for a prospective board candidate. If you overpay, you may attract people for the wrong reason or create a board of "coasters." If you underpay, you may be signaling that your directors' time and contributions are not valuable.
Gear the compensation package to your objectives. If you want directors thinking long-term and focusing on value creation, incorporate a long-term incentive component, which will align your directors' interests with those of the company and its owners.
A strong organizational structure
A strong board structure begins with a lead director, preferably someone from the outside. The lead director's responsibilities should be documented. They might include determining the composition of the board, recruiting other directors, setting board meeting agendas with the CEO, facilitating effective communication between ownership and the board, and conducting annual board evaluations.
In general, there are two types of board committees: (1) permanent standing committees to oversee specific areas that are critical to the company; and (2) ad hoc or special committees to address issues that are too complex to be handled in a full board setting.
In family company boards, standing committees often include HR/executive, investment/finance, compensation and marketing committees. Ad hoc committees might be formed if the company is considering a major expansion or diversification initiative, recruiting a C-suite executive, evaluating potential successors or addressing other short-term strategic issues.
Board committees assist the CEO by providing oversight and feedback and augmenting skillsets. Committees should be tailored to address the specific situation or need. For example, an electronic health records company might benefit from a standing IT committee. A venerable funeral services company might form an ad hoc committee to oversee new systems implementation.
Investment/finance committees typically focus on strategic financial issues, such as assessing financial processes, reviewing financing options and ensuring shareholder return on equity.
Audit functions, sometimes under the purview of the finance committee, generally include financial reporting, regulatory and legal compliance, operational efficiency, corporate policy and, increasingly, enterprise risk assessment and management. But auditing these areas and conducting a robust assessment of risk requires resources and ample investment. This type of investment is well justified in certain scenarios and industries and not in others. In either case, the audit function and risk management are highly appropriate strategic board discussion items, which should be addressed periodically.
A strong culture
It's often said these days that culture is king. In many cases, culture—more than a slick product or a new, highly efficient process—is what breeds employee satisfaction (or dissatisfaction) and is a principal component in a company's success (or failure). I agree—and the same notion extends to your board.
No doubt, the work of a board is serious stuff. Your board members are your "Knights of the Round Table," who protect your interests and ensure that growth benefits the entire enterprise. Still, board members are people, and for people to be enthusiastic and productive contributors, they must be engaged. There must be a healthy chemistry among board members. There should also be diversity.
The strongest boards I have seen promote engagement by addressing substantive issues and encouraging healthy debate. These boards don't just serve as sounding boards for the CEO but also provide a "safe zone" where the CEO can speak openly and express his or her aspirations, enthusiasm, frustrations and fears. Their toolbox includes much more than the proverbial rubber stamp.
To that point, the CEOs who installed these boards did so fearlessly. They weren't afraid of someone challenging their ideas. They were comfortable with the notion that outside perspectives and expertise wouldn't dilute their influence but would strengthen their ability to build an organization with a sense of purpose and permanence—something that would outlive them.
They slept well, too!

The Wedding Photography RIP-OFF !!!
Well this is certainly how I see it – Brides BEWARE !!!
I make no apologies for this sounding like a rant, as
it pee's me off enormously that so many think this is an acceptable way to work
First, you find a Photographer who's work you like in a price range you can afford, so you go to see them
You are offered a package that includes a Wedding Album, typically 20 pages (though sometimes 30, maybe more)
It seems a good price, probably at the top end of your budget, but you happily book 🙂
The RIP-OFF technique
After your Wedding your photographer leaves you to pick just 50 images from the 500+ you're given to choose from, as most albums work at about 2.5 images per page as a good average
Naturally if the images are good you'll realise 50 isn't nearly enough, so you come back with a list of 100
You're effectively asking for another 20 pages, thus you want to upgrade your 20-page package to a 40-page one
This upgrade of your Wedding Album from a 20 page one to a 40 page one gives the RIP-OFF Photographer his opportunity to take the P !!!
I'll explain at the end how you can spot this
and walk away from the RIP-OFF merchant
You need to follow the maths now to see where the rip-off comes from, and this example comes from a recent Wedding Photography Sales & Marketing presentation I attended where they explained it as…
NB: in most albums you can only buy pages in 2s as a double-page 'spread' – the industry talks in 'spreads' rather than pages
The couple buys a 30 page package for £1,000 and then they choose enough images for an extra 20 pages (so 10 extra spreads)
As their Photographer you tell them each spread is £100, so their upgrade is going to cost them 10 spreads x £100 = £1,000; the Photographer has turned a £1,000 package into a £2,000 sale !!! (sounds dodgy eh)
(it continues)
If they can't afford that, then you tell them you can offer them a 50% discount IF they buy right NOW (definitely dodgy now if they can afford to throw away 50% of the cost)
This RIP-OFF works because the couple think they are saving £500 and hence buy the upgrade; the Photographer has turned a £1,000 package into a £1,500 sale for almost NO EXTRA WORK
But here's the confusing thing…
In the 30-page package for £1,000 you initially bought it included…
- the initial consultation time
- sometimes a 'free' pre-wedding shoot
- a full day of the Photographer's time to shoot your Wedding
- at least another full day or two of the Photographer's time to edit your Wedding
- a significant element towards his equipment costs, membership fees, computers & software upgrades blah blah blah – the costs of being a photographer!
- you also paid for the time taken to design a 30-page album AND the album's cost
So how the Hell can you have all of that for £1,000 (so £33 a page)
but the extra 20 pages costs £50 a page???
You're being charged at a HIGHER RATE than to cover 3 days work and costs but for something that takes an hour or two
And what's even dafter, is that you can pretty much GUARANTEE the difference between the Photographer's 30-page and 50-page package bought in advance won't be anything like as much as the upgrade now suggests it is !!! IT'S CRAZY
So how do they get away with it you wonder – SIMPLES – they now have the photos of your FAB Wedding and you can't have them without paying this RIP-OFF price increase
Here's how to avoid this rip-off…
If you buy a package based on a set number of pages ASK how much each additional 2 pages will be if you need more pages, and get that IN WRITING (email is fine)
Imagine you go for a 30-page album package at £1,000, at its most basic each page is then costing about £33
If you ask how much to upgrade your album AFTER your Wedding and the cost per page is £33 or more, you're being RIPPED-OFF
WALK AWAY from this Photographer NOW !!!
By comparison…
The costs of my Wedding Album upgrades is typically around £9 per page,
so a 20 page upgrade of your album from me will be around £180
Why am I warning you about this?
Because I HATE how we've turned into RIP-OFF BRITAIN 🙁
It's NOT necessary and its NOT how I do it
CONTACT ME NOW to arrange a meeting
Great Photography & Great Pricing need not be a rip-off
🙂 🙂 🙂
