Finally thought Remi was fit enough and feet strong enough. He powered up and up and up hill. We traversed top and came back down.
He struggled on the shallow stony downhill bit, I got off for steep stony bit and he did really well (better than Mac in shoes who skidded quite a bit).
Remi quite tired but perked up when back on soft sand for a nice canter.
Feet looking shorter once home but in a good way.
Pleased this is another milestone for us. And best of all he wasnt foot sore next day :-)
He does have some weird flaking and "frondy" bits on his frogs though and some smell. Which is a bit worrying! Am going to try putting NT Dry on feet regularly.
Remi and Mac early morning. Mac is the one flat out with Remi watching over him.

Violence and more violence.
How anyone could rate it anything else but great and fantastic. It is full of action and humor. My generation can better understand this period of history.
loved it entertaining,that is y we go to the movies .
Bad movie.
No so great.
Another over reacting movie trying to make money from a horrible past time history of a beautiful country. Cruise was well taking care there but he was there to make money.
Glad Escobar is dead. But Hollywood wants to keep tossing dirt on a nation to just to keep making money.
I am sure my review will get delete later as usual.
What if the best movies I've seen in awhile. Really cool to learn about what happened from a different perspective than Pablo Escobar
Another mummy style?
Cheap movie.
Action packed. Cruise is back
action packed

Three interesting facts about New Zealand and the GSS2018
Did you know that….
- According to UK consulting firm Mercer, Auckland has been ranked at #3 most livable city in the world (after #1 Vienna, Austria) and #2 Zurich, Switzerland).
- Taxes are integrated in all prices in New Zealand – what you see is what you get – and there's no tipping!
- We have locked in the lowest hotel prices at NZ$279 per night at the SkyCity hotel. This measures very favourably against the NZ$$365++ that other hotels would charge for the same period.
When you come to the Global Speakers Summit (#GSS2018), you can rest assured that what you see is what you pay! We do not add tax and we don't expect you to tip, so you know that your money will stretch further.
We have negotiated the best rates possible for your hotel room and we would encourage you to stay at either the SkyCity Hotel (a 4.5-star hotel) for only NZ$279 per night (that's the equivalent of approximately US$195) or at the SkyCity Grand Hotel (a 5-star) for NZ$329 per night (that's approximately US$230 per night).
For the whole of the #GSS2018, and you will have access to free WiFi whilst at SkyCity, over 20 restaurants, bars and cafes and a well-appointed gymnasium, which is open 24 hours a day!
Located in the heart of Auckland city, the SkyCity Auckland Convention Centre is within walking distance of the viaduct, where you can enjoy a wonderful stroll by the water, take a boat cruise or sample the best food at a plethora of restaurants that adorn the waterfront.
What are you waiting for? Reserve your ticket for #GSS2018 now! We look forward to welcoming you as our guest in February 2018.

Words & Music: Charles Hutchinson Gabriel, 1907
Hold up the grand old Bible to the people!
Deny it or neglect it never!
Unfailing it has stood the test of ages,
And it shall stand unchanged forever!
O blessèd book, the only book,
The pow'rs of earth can change it never!
The test of fire and flood through ages it hath stood,
And it shall stand unchanged forever.
Hold up the grand old Bible and proclaim it
The Word of God by prophets spoken;
His seal imprinted glows upon its pages,
And not a precept can be broken.
Hold up the grand old Bible of our fathers,
And send it unto ev'ry nation;
It is the cloud by day, the fire in darkness,
That lights the way unto salvation.
Hold up the grand old Bible, proudly own it,
Believe, and search its sacred pages;
There you may find the way of life eternal-
Immortal life through endless ages.

Ossos is probably my favorite Pedro Costa film that I've seen (the others being Colossal Youth and O Sangue). I have to say: though he's an arthouse staple, he's an acquired taste that I'm not entirely sure I've fully acquired. There are things I love about him: his patience, the lack of non-diegetic music, the locations, the repetition. He's maybe what Neo-realism wanted to be. Or he's the Dardenne brothers mixed with a bit of Akerman and Rouch.
Ossos is, as with other Costa films, a simple narrative. A man (Nuno Vaz) takes his girlfriend, Tina's (Mariya Lipkina) baby, tries to use it for begging, and ultimately tries to sell it. Along the way he meets a nurse, Eduarda (Isabel Ruth) who takes a liking to him and helps him out. Clotilde (Vanda Duarte), Tina's neighbor and a character quite wary of both Eduarda and the father keeps a close eye on things.
Costa's definitely got some trademarks. His non-professional actors have a close cousin in Bresson's. They're totally unaffected to the point of near non-performances. I buy that the poverty puts them in a state of quiet existentialism, but sometimes it's too flat for my dramatic liking. Still, he gets great moments from these amateurs.
There's of course, the long take (more on that below), and then some of his penchants for framing. Here's one, where he frames a lot of medium wides through doorways, with the frame in the foreground as though we're peeking through in a point-of-view. Sometimes we are (the first shot below), other times we aren't (the other two), but regardless, it makes for a pervasive feeling of voyeurism:
Here's that cyclical structure I mentioned above. Shots are repeated with slight alterations. At the beginning of the film, the father and Tina hold hands on a bus:
And later, in a nearly identical frame, Tina and Cotilde hold hands:
Throughout the film a prostitute, (Ines de Medeiros) roams the streets. At the beginning we see her in an alleyway:
At the end of the film we see her again, dressed the same, with the same man (her pimp?) at the exact same spot in the alley:
All of this works to Costa's thesis: though something might happen narratively that changes things in these characters lives (and there's a pretty big moment here in Ossos), nothing changes in the nature of the neighborhood.
Costa frequently shoots in a narrow depth, like the three images below, where characters will move towards and away from camera. He seems to want to stress the literal confined quarters of the locations, but also the tight proximity in terms of neighbor-to-neighbor:
This is the scene where the father takes the baby for the first time. Costa frames it in this wide shot. One thing I really like about it is how he's not set apart from the other characters. In another film he'd be wearing brighter colors or would never be blocked entirely. Here, he's got his back to camera (ponytail, frame right), and throughout the shot itself is frequently entirely obscured:
Check out a clip from Ossos HERE.
You'll notice the long tracking shot that begins at 0:23 and takes the remainder of the clip. That's about a 2-minute track. It's a dramatic punctuation: this is the moment that the father first takes the child, but it's also a way for Costa to show off the neighborhood. This is "strolling cinema" that Zavattini or Bela Tarr would be proud of. The peeling paint, graffiti, colors of the walls and sidewalk that match his pants and jacket are all so tangible.
Also, take a look at that beginning of the clip. It's a good example of how Costa differs from a lot of filmmakers. Most people employ a time cut there and, at, I don't know, maybe the 7 second mark cut away to the next shot – we've skipped ahead in time, but we get it. Not Costa. He lets the father entirely disappear from frame. The shot takes 23 seconds – at least 10 seconds longer than "it should." Why? It's a pacing thing, for one. This is slowness. These things don't happen rapidly. Secondly, it allows Costa to let that other, minor character come into frame and start picking through the garbage – that action seems as important to the director as the things at the forefront of the plot. Lastly, it forces us to really analyze the slums. By the 15 second mark I couldn't take my eyes off of the green building towards the middle-right of the frame and in the background.

Mechanical Properties of Mulberry Branch Reconstituted Square Lumber
Reconstituted square lumber (RSL) was fabricated using mulberry branch as the raw material and polymeric diphenylmethane isocyanate (P-MDI) as the adhesive, and its mechanical properties were investigated. By using single factor and orthogonal experiments, the optimal parameters to produce RSL had 10% glue content, 160 °C hot-press temperature, and a 45 min hot-press time. The density distributions along with width, thickness, and length directions were scanned with DENSE-LAB X (density profile measuring system). Density was a significant factor that influenced the performances of mulberry branch RSL. The amount of glue also greatly affected the internal bond strength (IB), modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), and the 2-h thickness swelling rate of water absorption (TS2h) of RSL. Hot-press time affected the TS2h of RSL, but did not have a significant effect on the MOE, MOR, and IB of RSL. Hot-press temperature had an effect on the MOR of RSL, which significantly influenced the TS2h of RSL and slightly affected its MOE and IB. The density distribution of RSL was steep and flat in the width direction, steep in the thickness direction, and uniform in the length direction.

Balancing Mommyhood & Your Sanity
It's hard. Every single day of being on your game, putting on a happy face, oozing energy and embracing changes and loving fully and authentically. It's hard.
Throw in a constantly messy house, an overflowing laundry room, and healthy dinners to somehow cook with a fridge full of rotting leftovers. Lunches need to be made, breakfasts prepared, clothes to pick out for school, homework to complete, diapers to change, garbage to collect, small mountains of crumbs to vacuum (seemingly after every single meal). Not to mention fitting in workouts, reading, studying, quality family time, quiet alone time, hobbies, work, organizing closets and drawers that contain thousands of missing items somewhere in their depths. I'm telling you, by the time my kids are in bed, I am just DONE! So how the heck is this all possible to manage? Better yet, how can it be managed without feeling like you're struggling to stay afloat? While I'm no expert, I have learned some tricks along the way to make it feel that my life is balanced. At least 60% of the time. On a good day.
1. Let go
This is a BIG one for me - a typical Type A personality. I'm driven to do it all, and usually all on my own. Such a flaw of mine that has served me well on many levels yet also comes as a curse. There are things/people/expectations/responsibilities that need to be let go of. Clear the plate so to speak. Delegate what you need to, especially those tasks that are time consuming which aren't allowing you to maximize time with your kids. Let go of believing you can, or SHOULD do it ALL! Hire a housekeeper, even once a month. Hire a Nanny or babysitter to watch your kids while you're home to allow you uninterrupted time to take care of household tasks. Can't afford it? Barter with someone. What can you offer for them to clean your house or babysit your children? Start a group with your friends and every week one of you can babysit all the kids to give everyone else a break. The following week switch, and you can have a break. And don't feel guilty about it! These things will allow you to focus on your children in a meaningful, authentic way without your mind wandering to everything you are needing to accomplish
2. Clean the Kitchen
Making sure the kitchen is clean at the end of the night will save you time and grief during the morning rush. I don't know about you, but when I wake up and wander into a messy kitchen, my whole morning begins on a sour note. One thing I have been doing lately that saves me some sanity is filling the sink up with hot water and soap in the morning and throwing in all the breakfast dishes or leftover dishes from the previous night until I have time to wash them or put them in the dishwasher. This serves two purposes:
First my kitchen has the appearance of being tidy, which prevents feelings of overwhelm and consequently, stress
Secondly, my dishes will be quick to later wash, or ready to load right into the dishwasher without having to rinse every single one, saving me time in the end
3. Crockpot it up
I have been loving my crockpot lately! Such a time saver when you aren't spending time creating elaborate meals. An easy way to figure out what to do with it is to find something you already have in your fridge or pantry and browse through Pinterest by searching that ingredient. For example, if you have zucchini that you want to get rid of, type in "zucchini and crockpot" into the Pinterest search bar to find recipes. Add the word "quick" if you're really strapped for time. I shared on Facebook a week or so ago a recipe I randomly came up with after seeing a butternut squash in my pantry that needed to be cooked. Sometimes I put off cooking squash because I absolutely hate cutting those darn things. So much effort is involved! So I put the entire squash in my crockpot for 4 hours on high, took it out and peeled the skin off (which basically fell off) and removed the seeds. I threw the rest in my Vitamix and added in some full fat coconut milk, cinnamon, garlic and vegetable broth, blended for a couple minutes and voila! Quick and easy soup. So pull out that crockpot (or go buy one!), dust it off and get ready to fall in love
4. 10 minute cleanup
At the end of the day, when the kids are in bed, set a timer for 10 minutes and tidy up. 10 minutes isn't a daunting amount of time when you'd rather kick your feet up and call it a day, but it's enough to make a good dent in an ever-accumulating pile of stuff. You'll appreciate it in the morning
5. Recruit your Spouse
If you feel you are drowning in responsibilities 98% of your day, it may be time to reach out to your spouse or significant other. Decide which tasks he or she can take on for you, or help with. I expressed my overwhelm with my husband months ago. Specifically in regards to the state of our house. Since then he will unload and load the dishwasher every night and tidy up the kitchen. It's not a huge task for him but it makes a big difference to me. Having the load lightened even a little bit can do wonders for your stress levels. Communicate. Delegate. Celebrate. This is my new mantra for survival around here.
6. Brain Dump
I recently participated in an online program and this was one of the tasks we needed to complete. It's one that I enjoyed a great deal. A good time to do this is before bed, so you don't have scattered thoughts and ideas keeping you up at night. Take a piece of paper and set your timer for 15-20 minutes. Write down everything you need to do. Personal...business...everything. If you need an additional 5 minutes, continue on. Fill that page (and gasp at how full it is!)
7. Prioritize
Expanding on the brain dump idea, at night before you go to bed, spend some time deciding what needs to be done the next day. I will get into this in more detail in another blog post but for now, star the 3 most important things from your brain dump that need to be done. The next day focus on accomplishing those three things first. If you have time, continue on through your list, but if you aren't able to tackle anything else you can still feel accomplished that you completed those most important things
I hope those tips are helpful. Comment below with any tips you have of your own, I would love to hear them. I have been asked a lot lately about balancing various aspects of life and I will happily share ideas and tools I have been using to manage my 3 children and an at-home business. It doesn't have to be impossible or daunting, it just takes some implemented strategies and systems that are known to be effective. And a little bit of effort of course

Pope Francis
St. Francis International School honors its founding pastors
, Catholic Standard staff
Tuesday, February 25, 2014 3:05 AM
Deacon Bert L'Homme, the archdiocesan superintendent for Catholic schools (far left) and Washington Auxiliary Bishop Barry Knestout (far right) present Distinguished Pastor of the Year Awards to Franciscan Father Mike Johnson (second from left), pastor of St. Camillus Parish in Silver Spring, and Father John Dillon (second from right), pastor of St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Derwood and the former pastor of St. Mark Parish in Hyattsville.
Father John Dillon, the former pastor of St. Mark Parish in Hyattsville, and Franciscan Father Mike Johnson, pastor of St. Camillus Church in Silver Spring, were recently honored with Distinguished Pastor of the Year Awards from the Archdiocese of Washington.
The awards were presented by Washington Auxiliary Bishop Barry Knestout during a Jan. 29 Catholic Schools Week Mass at St. Francis International School in Silver Spring.
Deacon Bert L'Homme, the archdiocesan superintendent for Catholic schools, also assisted at the Mass and award presentation, which was attended by the entire student body of the school.
"They were selected because they both took some courageous steps as pastors," said Toby Harkleroad, principal and chief administrator of St. Francis International School in Silver Spring. "The award is a celebration of them as pastors in their commitment to our school."
Father Dillon, who was named pastor of St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Derwood last summer, and Father Johnson decided their respective parishes - St. Mark the Evangelist Parish in Hyattsville and St. Camillus Parish in Silver Spring - should join together in 2010 to establish St. Francis International School.
"Here are two pastors looking beyond what was under their care and trying to find new solutions through collaboration. The two of them took some very bold steps," Harkleroad said of the pastors' decisions - after their own parish schools closed - to form the new school with support from both parishes. "They showed flexibility to think outside of the box because they were committed to trying to keep Catholic education going, especially for poor, middle class, working folks."
When the school opened, it was jointly sponsored by the two parishes. In the four years since then, Our Lady of Vietnam Parish in Silver Spring and St. Catherine Labouré Parish in Wheaton, have joined as sponsors of the school.
St. Francis International School serves about 480 students from more than 30 countries, and offers an innovative global learning curriculum.
The National Catholic Educational Association encourages dioceses across the country to nominate and celebrate a "Distinguished Pastor of the Year." Father Dillon and Father Johnson, were also the Archdiocese of Washington's official nominees for the NCEA's national distinguished pastor of the year award.
Harkleroad said that while the usual process is to nominate just one pastor, "it was really important to us to nominate both pastors." He added that parents, school staff and parish and community members wrote letters as part of the nomination process.
"You wouldn't have St. Francis (International School) if you didn't have both pastors performing their unique roles. It would be impossible without both of them,"hesaid.
The awards were presented during Catholic Schools Week, Harkleroad said, because, "each of the days of the week, we honored parents, teachers, students and we thought it would be a wonderful experience to honor our pastors."
Harkleroad said the school wanted to honor Father Dillon and Father Johnson for "the distinctive gifts they bring to their ministries, such as spiritual ministry, pastor involvement in Catholic education, and their support of school leadership, especially their dedication to serving the children and families of St. Francis International School."

Happy Sunday everybody! I hope you are enjoying these last days of summer as much as I do. The leaves are slowly falling down and it becomes darker earlier. Although I absolutely adore summer, not living in a subtropical climate region also has its advantages. Especially, when nature outside starts to become golden and lightening candles at home make everything super cozy.
Not only during fall, I love mixing fabrics and textures. I think different surfaces make a look more fun and avoid it from becoming too blended and one dimensional. Today, I want to share a look from a few days ago. It was one of these days when the sun couldn't decide whether to come out or not. On that day my boyfriend and I were strolling through Hamburg, which is why comfortability to me was key. I was sporting a pair of satin shorts which, together with the silver flats, give this simplistic outfit a little chic subtleness. Both, the knitted and firm material of the t-shirt as well as the crisp white denim, create not only a more relaxed look, but make it more interesting.
I was wearing
COS Top – similar
H&M Studio S/S 2015 Shorts – similar
Zara Denim Jacket – similar
Zara Slipper – similar, I also love these

Herodotus the Writer
Research Project
Caitlin Beaumont
Passage 2
Herodotus: The Writer and Historian
Herodotus the writer, from the later fifth century, is considered to be one of the first ancient scholars who had invented historiography. He was a known traveller, who journeyed to many different places such as Egypt and Babylon and Greece and he is most famous for his tremendously systematised work and astonishing literary excellence. What is most intriguing about Herodotus is his reputation of being "the father of lies". He is well known for picking up material from 'spies', which he moulds into an intelligible story. Herodotus frequently 'spoke' his stories and performed them to the people; therefore, we can accuse Herodotus for building up his anecdotes by constructing them to be more stimulating and pleasurable for his audience.(Ryan, 2013). This is an important aspect when regarding the passage 1.59 from 'Herodotus Histories' (Herodotus, 2008). The recount describes the 'extraordinary' event of the meat and water boiling over and the forewarning from Chilon of Lacedaemonian to Hippocrates (the father to the famous tyrant 'Peisistratus'), who advised him to never have a child or if he already has one, to disown him immediately. This chronicle comes across as slightly inaccurate and bias; as he seems to portray his hatred for tyrants and love for a good performance, rather then report an exact historical recount of these events.
"Once when Hippocrates was a Spectator at the Olympic Games" The first line of the passage mentions a time frame and the Greek, Hippocrates. Herodotus states, that the forewarning and the boiling over of the pots happened whilst Hippocrates was at an Olympic games, however, Herodotus fails to precisely note which games this was, which in history is always a commonly recorded date. Thus, we could argue that this recount may have been nothing more then a conversation between the two men (as he fails to prove to us what time...

Essential Advantages Of Hiring Industrial Encoders In A Firm
If you ask as to how an industrial encoder functions, you must be aware that the job of this expert is to be able to generate the proper processes of establishing a clearer vision so as for the readers to see on what is on the computer, this professional individual is assigned to make connections on an electro-mechanical equipment. For instances wherein there is a need to make certain that all industrial tools are in a well-conditioned type, these coders are the most reliable people to settle with. There are a lot of devices that these encoders bring importance and vitality of the different devices which are being used, some of these are the telescopes and flood gates.
There are two classifications of an industrial encoder, one is an absolute encoder, and the other one is an incremental encoder. The two outcomes of an incremental shaft could either be an optical or a mechanical one, but on an absolute shaft, this would mean that all the digital codes have their own specifications, which can fit to an angular shaft.
In order to gather all the necessary information that you need to know about an incremental category, all you have to do is just to read this whole article.
Incredible Lessons I've Learned About Options
The magnetic waves that run through the computer are well connected through the help of a wireless industrial encoder who is assigned to perform all the needed actions to produce a result.
How I Became An Expert on Options
The people who make use of six varying styles are known to be express encoders. Those who want to be rendered by a numerous counts turning them into thousands, an omni encoder is just the right one to choose.
Those who are in need to use for a linear displacement, there is an allotted displacement transducer or also known as linear differential transformer that could generate a faster way of establishing data speed.
For crucial stages, a heavy duty must be needed so as to perform the needed tasks to establish and making assurance that there are right processes being generated for safety precautions.
To make sure that proper actions must be generated well so as to establish rightful ways of the different vibration or movements of devices, a linear encoder best fits for this type, also called as motion encoder. A digital encoder is a device that is used so as to feel convenient that the usual way of converting angular to dual, this type of device can generate its uses in a way that you do not have to spend so much of your time. The existence of the current encoders can generally help in the establishment to get all the necessary benefits from the equipments that they are using, yet along with keeping things the way they should be, they can also provide safety and be secured as well.


text: About us About Trustees Stephen Barnes - Vice Chairman VICE CHAIRMAN My first contact with honey bees was 55 years ago when my father swapped pheasant rearing for bee keeping. I helped him from time to time and went with him to conferences at Newton Rigg College. My father tolerated angry bees in the belief they were more productive and that rather put me off. I studied farm management at Harper Adams and spent 11 years in Tropical Agriculture in Papua New Guinea. On returning to the UK I became involved in the world of logistics eventually joining a logistics training company based in Carlisle My father passed away in 1997 and after lot of thought I decided to take up the hobby. My father's bees were still angry and I nearly gave up. Fellow beekeepers encouraged me to stay and with a bit of re-queening and selective queen rearing I now have bees that are pleasant to work with and bees are now my main interest. After 10 years as Cumbria delegate I decided to stop throwing brickbats and start catching them. This is my second year as a Trustee. Email here

The thousands of artworks at SFMOMA offer countless opportunities to look closely and think deeply about some of the most amazing artists of our time. To celebrate both the artists on view in the newly expanded museum and the creative communities of the Bay Area, 50 Artists invites local artists and creative professionals to share how icons of modern and contemporary art matter to them. This week, the duo Arthur Allan presents on Marcel Duchamp.
Arthur Allan is not the first or last name of the participants, but rather the middle names and common ground between Brion Arthur Nuda Rosch and Christopher Allan Sollars. The meeting of their two practices is similar to other duos: Fischli and Weiss, Gilbert and George, Abbott and Costello, and Laurel and Hardy. Making work and interventions that respond to the mundane and everyday, the duo utilizes materials and ideas with basic common logic and care.

VERANDAH, or VERANDA, a roofed gallery or portico attached to the outside of a dwelling-house or other building, usually open at the sides or partially covered by lattice-work or glass or other screens. The roofing is slanting and supported by pillars ; a light rail or balustrade often surrounds it. The word in English is comparatively modern, having only been included by Todd in his edition of Johnson's Dictionary in 1827. But it was known earlier in India, and the occurrence of the word in modern Hindustani (varanda) and Malayan (baranda) has led some etymologists to connect the word with the Persian baramadan, to climb. It is, however, certainly of European origin, and was taken to the East by the early Portuguese navigators. It is to be found as early as the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th in Spanish and Portuguese (so Minsheu, " varanda, railes to leane the brest on "), and apparently is to be referred to Lat. vara, a forked pole or rod.End of Article: VERANDAH, or VERANDA

Happy New Year! (2016)
It's that time of year again. And to welcome you into the near year, here is my new offering. My first in many months. Though I started this tradition of mine many years ago. I plan to continue it for many years to come:
The New Year
We talk of new seasons, we talk of new days.
We talk of resolutions, in beautiful new ways.
We build relationships, we tear them down.
We reach through the ages, to dispel a frown.
This year gone, oh what joy, what pain.
So many songs, I still hear the refrain.
But as I look to tomorrow, to see what's to come.
What's apt to follow, considering what's begun.
There is excitement, there is fear.
Trepidation, but a veneer.
A stronghold insistence, on resisting the persistence,
That life is but an existence, to be tolerated and endured.
Forgetting the laughter, the joy.
The love you could deploy.
In this new year, despite aggravation.
My sole recommendation is to live in the joy.
For happiness is a choice.
So, every day, from now till ever.
Make a vow, ties with bitterness to sever.
For that future place, the thing that you dream of.
The path to that place, something to lean on.
The way that you see.
The way that you think.
The way that you hear.
These will pull you from the brink.
Be the light when it's dark.
That single solitary spark.
Be a voice when silence screams.
Even when all would burst at the seems.
In this new year, in this new day,
be the reason for others to say,
here is one who would not lean on excuse.
To lend a helping hand, he would never refuse.
So, as we talk of new seasons, we talk of new days.
As we talk of resolutions, in beautiful new ways.
Let us build relationships, and seek never to tear them down.
By all means, let us reach through the ages, to dispel that single solitary frown.
As this new year dawns.
As this new day begins.
Reach deep down inside you.
Find that love.
Let it shine!
Happy New Year!
Tell Me A Story
As I write this just after 5.30am. I've been off work ill over the last few days and the joys of being ill mean I can be at my laptop now trying to write a blog. Of course, the good thing about being ill is the alone time and the time to think that I have. I remember writing a while ago about my my best songs/poetry coming from honesty. Well, I think I shall give that a try now with this blog entry. I generally don't talk to people much about what's going on in my mind. I think I shall use this blog for that. So I ask that you indulge me for a while, as I work through one or two things going through my mind.
It's been over a month since my last written blog. I've been trying ever so hard over the least few weeks to write something, and on Facebook I even got friends to give me suggestions as to what I should write about. As I walked home from work about a fortnight ago, I started thinking about it. In trying to understand where I am now, I considered the last number of years and my progress.
As soon as I finished my undergrad degree, I started work as the President of the Students' Union. The very day after that finished, I traveled to work in Italy for 4 months. On my return, also the very next day, I started studying for my Masters degree. Recently finished that and I haven't started something else that's quite as all encompassing as yet. I have a good job, I'm comfortable. And that's the problem.
I'm itching for another project. Itching isn't quite the right word. Desperately seeking else I drown in comfortable, might be a better description. One of the reasons I left the 9-5 life many years ago was the feeling that has recently returned to me. The living for the weekend, the 'loss' of creativity. The hunger for something beyond the monthly paycheck or the occasional gig with the band.
I like my job. I love meeting new people and doing what I can to help them. I love the people I work with. Everyday I tell them that the only other place I've worked at that mixes the same blend of insanity and professionalism is the Kingston University Students' Union. It's unlike any other office I've worked at prior to coming to Kingston. That's one of the reasons that I wanted to work at the International Office in the first place. Despite that, it's not enough. I'm glad I will only be there until the end of July. I don't regret taking this job. In truth, I'm happy I did. It's reminded me that the 9-5 life is so not for me. I managed it for almost 10 years before coming to Kingston, only because the jobs were mundane enough, that my mind could be elsewhere all the while. I wrote my book while at work and I dreamed dreams of grandiose achievements while there. 10 -15 years later, and I have managed to scale some of the heights I had my eyes set on.
While I have indeed have set some new dreams/targets for myself, my current life means I have nothing left of myself at the end of the day, to create. The part of me that creates seems to be blunted, and try as I may to 'sharpen' it, I come up with naught. Now, as I sit at my laptop, I can feel things percolating again inside this little cranium of mine and I remember that I used to do my best writing at night. When all around is still, the sky is dark and number of those walking the streets counts in the single digits. Once or twice I would take a walk around Surbiton at stupid o'clock and breathe in the air. Walk to the river and watch its calmness and come back home to create. I would know it was time to stop writing when it started to get light out. My aim now, is to find a way that my optimum hours of creativity can be used to create, instead of trying to sleep. And my weekends need to be used on more than just trying to relax and recuperate in time for the week to come. Which means that when this job is done at the end of July I need to grab the bull by its proverbial horns and hold on tight. A new project is beginning to form in my mind. And this is good. I hope this will quell the gnawing feeling of disquiet and dissatisfaction that has been plaguing me these last few months. And that gives me cause to smile at 06.53 on this Wednesday morning.
Syfy am always consists of Smallville, then Buffy. Smallville's just finished. Buffy next, then sleep. I've decided I shall return to the office tomorrow. Things to do etc. So, until next time people, have a great day!
My Dreams
I was taught a number of things when it comes to dreams. Here are but a few of them:-
1. Have dreams bigger than you
2. Write down your dreams.
3. Guard your dreams. Protect them, be very careful with whom you share them as not all you meet will aid you in bringing them to life.
4. Let some people know about these dreams. those that will encourage you and drive you, push you never to let go of them. they will keep you on course.
With that in mind, last week I sat down and decided to finally write down these dreams of mine. Here are a few of them:
- Sell my poetry. (Frames, on mugs, in cards etc)
- Write a few more books.
- Open a music venue, where known artists can come to perform, as well as promoting local talent.
- Continue travelling to perform.
- Nurture local talent, in local schools and other educational establishments and give them to opportunity to perform on stage at the venue. Thus improving on their performance technique and helping to further inspire them to keep with what they're doing.
- Motivational speaker
- All of the above would be under the umbrella of MusicTJ, which I've begun to cultivate in the last year or so. One large organisation which will include a number of different facets/departments. Educational (dance, music, writing etc), Events, Performance, Poetry, Speaking etc.
- Mentor/Consultant
- And remain open to other opportunities that may come about.
The fortunate or unfortunate thing about having a lot in your 'box of tricks' is that it's hard to pin down a single thing you want to do. I've therefore decided not to stick to a single one. The REALLY hard thing now, is deciding what to start with. One thing I know with absolute certainty right now is that I do not wish to remain in the UK. I've been here most of my life and it's time to move elsewhere. What I now need to do, is put together a model that I can pick up and take with me wherever I go.
There are still a number of things I haven't put on here. I haven't mentioned anything about my music as yet. And you know I love my music. I've a lot in mind for that. My mind has always been exceptionally full of things, and for such a long time I never actually believed I could do any of it. In the last seven years especially, I come across people who seem to believe I could do absolutely anything I ever set my mind to. It's absolutely amazing how liberating that is!
I could afford it, I would have bought the MusicTJ.com domain name by now, just to make sure it's mine at least. I still need to get the MusicTJ logo designed. So much to do, so little time.
Do not tread on my dreams. If you do so, I promise you, I will tread on you.

I crave insanity
Insanity born of purpose
I crave insanity
Insanity that promotes drive.
That insanity that ignites passions
And makes you relentless
That insanity that drives creativity
So you can never stop.
That insanity that is unreasonable
And won't accept what is.
That insanity that is wonderful
And only sees the beauty in all.
That insanity that will look beyond
Beyond the veneer
And see the truth
See the beauty beneath.
Inject me with this insanity.
For the world is becoming far too sane.
We can no longer see things that really matter.
We live in the sanity of the material.
The sanity of what we can touch.
I'd rather have the insanity
of what I cannot see.
I cannot see the love,
that gently encapsulates my mind
I cannot see the inspiration
that causes me to write.
And yet I trust in both
Both push me to fight.
Our hearts no longer beat for each other.
Our hearts no longer beat for truth.
Our hearts just beat for ourselves.
We leave the rest to rust.
Please give me this insanity
That insane thirst for knowledge
I want the insanity of love
That stupid fleeting thing.
I want my insanity
That childhood glee
No thought of what should
And what should not be
Give me insanity
It is my fondest plea
Wrapped in a world
Ripe with possibility
The thing that causes
our hearts to flutter
Is insane it's true.
But it draws me out of the gutter
So yes, give me insanity.
I need not your reasoning.
Give me insanity.
For it is the reason I'm still breathing.

I don't close my eyes to sadness.
I don't turn my ear from cries.
Though I'll turn my ears to gladness
And turn today's truth to a lie.
I'll reach into the ether
And pull out a new tomorrow.
I'll plunge into my dreams.
So the future turns from sorrow.
Today may tell one thing.
But tomorrow's yet to be born.
If you dwell in today's darkness.
You'll never see the light.
You don't need to close your eyes to sadness.
To see the future gladness.
But you shouldn't plunge into the tears
To live away from fear.
In that distant time,
In years yet to come.
Beyond the bridges burnt
Beyond the battles won.
The people who live there.
The people born from now.
Their hope is drawn from you.
They look to you for how.
If you would build tomorrow.
If you would make it bright.
Turn your heart away from sorrow.
Turn your heart to the sunrise.
For when the sun rises
And makes the night flee.
The demons that haunt at night
Will have to let you be.
As it warms your heart
And fills you with gladness
It will let fly your fears
And replace them with light.
Be not afeared
of that which is to come.
For that distant horizon
Holds a bright world, not yet born.
New battles to be won.
New challenges to face.
And a wondrous new adventure
A path you're yet to grace.
Tomorrow can be bright
If that is what you are.
Tomorrow can be a thrill
If you but have the will.
Tomorrow lies in you
And it's just beyond your view
Tomorrow holds your prize
If you would just own it too.
So don't close your eyes to sadness.
And don't turn your ear from cries.
But turn your ears to gladness
And turn today's truth to a lie.
Dream Big
Ever must we dream.
Ever must we live.
We must build our dreams stone by stone.
We must dream big.
For what is the point in small dreams?
They serve no purpose.
They challenge none.
They mark the status quo.
They mark the daily trudge of the un-attaining ones
You are not such.
Ever must we dream.
Ever must we live.
We must build our dreams stone by stone.
We must dream big.
Build dreams that scare you.
Build dreams that task you.
Build dreams that take you beyond that which you already know.
Ever must we dream.
Ever must we live.
We must build our dreams stone by stone.
We must dream big.
Build dreams that make you.
Build dreams that wake you.
Build dreams that wake you to the wonders of this world.
That make you the one you would become.
That take you to the place you finally belong.
That break you and remake you into one to shape a world.
Ever must we dream.
Ever must we live.
We must build our dreams stone by stone.
We must dream big.
For hopes and dreams are marvelous things.
They open your eyes, when closing is easier.
They make you move when sitting is simple.
They make you run when walking is preferred.
Build dreams that shake you.
Your dreams won't forsake you.
Build dreams that take you to the very ends of the world.
Build dreams that take you beyond past sorrow.
For your dreams are your passport to a brighter tomorrow.
Build dreams that push you.
Build dreams that stress you
Build dreams that make the simple unacceptable.
Reach for the improbable
Make a lie of the impossible.
Reach beyond and grasp the unobtainable
For, ever must we dream.
Ever must we live.
We must build our dreams stone by stone.
We must dream big.
Still working in Italy. Meeting lots of new people. Handing out my business card left and right. You never know, maybe one day something will come out of this.
Anyway, earlier today I emailed my dissertation to my supervisor, which means I have some time on my hands with nothing to do till she replies telling me all I've done wrong and asking that I rewrite the whole thing.
I found this little unfinished poem. Generally when I come across unfinished pieces, I try to see if I can finish them. But not quite happening this time. In truth, I can'y quite connect with where I was when i wrote it, so I cannot possibly be true to it and as a result all that would happen would be that it becomes somewhat disjointed if I were to force the issue. Maybe when I come back to it next time, I'll have a resolution for it.
So for now here it is:
I am to tell you of laughter.
I am to tell you of light.
I am to sing not of destitution
Nor of fright.
Levity is gone, I cannot find thee here.
Seek me out will you?
In this time,
"give me something to sing about"
This was the refrain, was it not?
I have much to sing on.
Though not of joyous rhyme.
I have much to speak on.
I daresay you will not speak in time.
In this season,
In this time.
This is my reason for this rhyme.
My heart remains heavy.
My mind remains weary
I Dare You…
I dare you to dream.
I dare you to believe.
I dare you to have faith.
I dare you to stand.
I dare you to sing.
I dare you to cry.
I dare you to scream.
I dare you to shout.
I dare you to take up arms.
I dare you to fight.
I dare you to speak up.
I dare you to stay silent.
I dare you to raise your hand.
I dare you to be counted.
I dare you to try.
I dare you to fail.
I dare you to challenge yourself.
I dare you to strive.
I dare you to fail.
I dare you to succeed.
I dare you to be true.
I dare you to be you.
I dare you against all odds.
I dare you to live!
Give Me Something Precious To Lean On
Give me something precious to lean on.
So I don't fall apart when it's dark for too long.
Give me something precious to lean on.
So my heart doesn't seal, close and hide away from the world.
Give me something precious to lean on.
So when the darkness closes in I'm not found wanting.
Give me something precious to lean on.
My island is gone, submerged beneath the sea.
So please.
Give me something precious to lean on.
Heart Leads Head – The Challenge To Study The Creative Arts
Heart Leads Head.
It's a mantra that we in the creative field simply must follow. We may never consciously state this to ourselves, but it still is the methodology for us.
Our 'product' comes from being connected to something beyond ourselves, something many others may not understand. As well as being deeply connected to ourselves. We must portray the things that people feel and cannot express themselves. We must write so that people look at what we write and say
"Yes! That's exactly how I feel!"
We're supposed to be open to the 'elements' and must be buffeted, tossed about and torn in so many different ways. Yet we must harness that somehow and use that to choreograph, to dance, to sing, to recite poetry.
We are supposed to be the mouthpiece of people. We must be the ones to say "It's 10 o'clock and all is well!"
And when things get rough, we are to console, we are to offer up our hearts as an offering for those in pain. We are made to take the pain and hold it, sometimes nurture it. Till it must come out in song, in verse, in dance in a movie. In whatever form our creative self takes. We often don't have the luxury of an ear, for we are those ears. We are the eyes that must see and we are the mouthpieces that must speak.
Only the immensely lucky get to earn bucket loads of money. Despite working the same amount of hours and and even more, of those in Science, Business, Law etc.
So, why oh why would anyone consider studying such a subject? Why give yourself over to these creative forces?
If you have ever written a poem, a song, screenplay, and handed over to someone and had it profoundly touch their heart, you will know exactly why we do it. There is no better feeling than knowing you have captured an emotion and clearly depicted it in some form or another. It's not always about the best way of putting words together, or the best angle to shoot a film from, or the best voice that sings. If a poem, a song, a picture manages to accurately capture emotion, it has caught something beautiful indeed.
We in the creative world strive to capture these fleeting intangible moments. We seek to make them last longer so they can be revisited and remembered. Our job is to completely give ourselves over to something bigger and believe that what is channeled through is is worth the time and effort.
It is a huge challenge. Do you dare take it up?

Web marketing enables you to reach a wide variety of people. Whatever your product or service is, this article will give you some great tips that can help you market it online. Once you've reviewed them, you'll be well-equipped to launch an Web marketing campaign of your own.
Before a site can be ranked, it must be built. Before you even think about where your website stands in the rankings, you should be thinking about its quality. Building a great website should be your very first step in starting a web business. Try to make your website as functional and streamlined as possible. If you do this at the beginning, you will have an easier time making changes to it in the future.
It's important to set up a mailing list for your customers. Give your clients the opportunity to opt-in to signing up with a subscribe link or making their email address part of the ordering process. This list can have multiple functions, including promotion and sale offers, as well as the opportunity to request feedback from your customers.
Make sure that you leave yourself open to receiving feedback and suggestions. This is important because if you have one view of your website and your customers have a different view, your website will not be successful. Ask for feedback from those people that visit your website or even friends and family. Consider the advice they offer you, and use it to tweak your website.
Your website tag should contain a simple, clear definition of you and the focus of your site. This tag will explain in a small blurb what your website is all about. An audience member will determine in a matter of seconds whether or not your website is worth their time based upon that tag. Visitors may not be inclined to linger at your website if you include extraneous data, muddled messages or cluttered presentations.
Be mindful that your website tag is highly important and will be used to define your website. Since this is the heading of your page, it is the first impression visitors have of your site. Using language that isn't natural and relevant can be the biggest mistake you make when creating this tag.
Place ads for your business on high-traffic sites. The exposure this investment will bring makes the expense worthwhile. A website that has a steady, high volume of traffic can expose your ads to a limitless number of people, every one of whom is a potential buyer.
Internet marketing can reach beyond the Internet. For instance, you may want to host in-person gatherings or conferences for bloggers with whom you regularly interact. This will help them feel connected with you, and they will continue to promote your services.
You website can be a hub divided into different sections where people can view various types of products. Balance the need for variety on your site with the need to keep it structured.
Find something that can serve as your niche and will give your site a unique quality. This will help you bring your niche target audience to your website. Visitors are then likely to check out everything else your site has to offer, increasing your legitimacy and quite possibly boosting your page ranking as well.
Add a squeeze page to your site to build your contact base. This is basically a gateway that solicits website visitors for their email addresses before they continue. It could be a free promotional offer or a discount in return for their email address and name. This way, they get a nice gift and you, in return, get to put them on your contact list.
Whether you realize it or not, you have everything that you need to make your internet marketing venture a success. It is pretty simple. You just need yourself and your thinking cap. Just work hard and imagine what you can achieve when you are marketing yourself.
You can improve your internet promotion by starting a blog and posting to it frequently. A blog is a convenient tool for informing customers about new products and promotions. A blog is a great addition to your website. It adds variety. The blog encourages people to visit your website frequently in order to see your new insights, anecdotes or stories. It may also help attract search engines.
Be active on the major social media networks to increase your customer base. Facebook fan pages will allow your customers the chance to post feedback others will see, this will get your name out there. Twitter is an awesome way to communicate informally with your audience.
Add content in the form of a blog or forum to prevent your website from becoming boring or irrelevant. Google and the ranks like new content, if you do not provide it, your site will move down in rankings. You can easily accomplish this by writing a blog.
Avoid spam as much as possible. It sometimes might seem like the right path to take, but it usually has undesired consequences and will drive traffic away from your website, not to it. Without your personal edge, most people will turn a deaf ear to your efforts and lose interest in your site.
Determining a solid path to your business goals can seem intimidating, even when you are well prepared. Eliminate sites slowly until you are down to just one, which would be the one you go with. Before creating a website, find a niche that suits your business and personality. You will find website marketing more simple when you have goals.
Read up on marketing studies that show what techniques are and are not effective in webpage design and marketing on the internet in general. Psychology plays an important role in marketing. Colors, brand names and even placement all make large differences. Learning which factors are positively and negatively received can help you design your website for maximum profitability.
Stay abreast of new features and developments occurring on the Internet. Things change quickly and constantly in the online world, and vast numbers of potential customers can suddenly flock to a site or a service that didn't exist a week ago. Keeping tabs on where the users are will allow you to market more effectively.
Avoid spending too much money on advertising. You don't want to waste money on something that is of no benefit to your business. Apply SEO techniques yourself for free and consider using AdSense or banner ads for your paid marketing strategies.
You must determine the composition of your audience and decide what sort of information will draw them to the website. When you have identified your target audience, producing attractive content that will keep them coming back to your site will be easier.
You need to decide which target audience your are searching for, and what information you will need to bring them to your page. Once you have a target audience, then decide on the content that is most appropriate for that audience.
Putting free samples and coupons inside the boxes when you ship customers orders that are related to the product is a great idea. Many customers jump at the chance to use a coupon to buy something they needed or wanted anyway.
A great way to bring prestige too your site is to get high-quality information and respected interviews with people who have a relation to what your site is selling. These interviews could be text-only, or you may post videos or audio instead. The interview will show your visitors that you are connected with the experts in your niche and increase your reputation as a trusted authority.
Earning and maintaining your clients' trust is crucial. Utilize only information which is supported by documented evidence when designing and promoting your campaigns. Only use statistics and endorsements that you can prove are valid.
There are many free marketing resources for people who cannot afford consultants. Check out online communities for business owners, start following marketing blogs, download free e-books, and check out free seminars.
Increase your credibility and that of your business by offering major, reputable companies the opportunity to advertise on your website. Visitors will see these familiar and trusted names on your site and have a tendency toward association, giving you the benefit of the doubt as well as a favorable customer image. Your site will become another resource, rather than just a business listing.
Consider a unique approach to creating logos and banners rather than the simple rectangles that some companies use. Design them as click-able links, so they blend in with your page. Many people do not click banners, but they will not hesitate to click a link that will lead them to more info.
Include a glossary of the words on your site if you want people to think you know what you are talking about. This will help your customers, prospective customers, and competitors. If people are searching for these words, they will land at your site.
Create an informative website with a glossary of common terms. People searching for those terms will be drawn to your site. This will help both your customers and prospective customers. People doing a search for those terms will be more likely to come to your website. You will get more traffic and be considered a reference.
Customer Service
Keeping up with your competition is another important aspect of Internet marketing. Find out how their website is doing, what is liked about it, and what they may be doing wrong. You can learn a lot from watching what other people are doing. Learn from their mistakes and make your site more complete and original.
It is important that you handle all customer service complaints on your own. You may want to get some outside help, but you will do better to handle customer service yourself. When a customer contacts you with an issue, respond to the problem yourself and offer a solution.
Make sure you try incorporating prizes in a unique way. Have your customers find hidden words in your article. If they are able to find them you can offer a discount that will encourage people to make a purchase. Customers will feel closer to you this way, thus, increasing the chances of them buying your product.
Consider the following internet marketing tip. Be sure to have a clear objective on your landing page. The landing page should be focused on sales. Therefore, it should be obvious to your visitor that you intend to sell them something when they land on your site. Shoppers want instant gratification, so if they can't find what they want they will look somewhere else.
Present your products as an efficient and simple solution to a problem your audience can relate to. People generally dislike overly complicated things, so adding tags like "easy to order" and "easy to use" can entice them to use your product. That is a simple way to boost business.
Tracking sentiment around online events, promotions or other initiatives your brand conducts is important for tailoring future Website marketing strategies. Look at how people interact with you on blogs and forums when you launch any type of an event. Using their advice will make them feel that you respect their opinions about your work.
A successful Internet angle to follow would be to make offers to your customers for added discounts if they happen to spend over a stated amount of money. One example is to give a 10% discount on purchases over $100. This helps to get your customers to add products on.
One helpful form to include in your website is a feedback form. This form will give you a lot of information that you can use to make your website even better. Their specific reasons will be a great help to you in improving your site.
Promote your website as a community or gathering of likeminded suctomer or business people. This can hep build traffic to your website as customers come back to interact with others. You will be on the minds of your customers as well. Give people graphics they can use on their websites to advertise their memberships; it's free advertising.
Good Affiliate marketing increases your companies visibility. Web marketing helps fill the gaps in exposure that conventional advertising cannot reach. Learn from these tips and incorporate them into your marketing strategy.
Limited time incentives help to spark interest in your site. You can offer free shipping for those who order within the next 10 minutes or free gift wrapping; any kind of added incentive will do. There needs to be an urgent sense as to when the offer is over.

Four powerful labor organizations will enter the artist rights fray this week, supporting state legislation that could open the door to free agency for recording acts.
On Wednesday, leaders from the AFL-CIO, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, the California Federation of Labor and the Hollywood Entertainment Labor Council are expected to announce their endorsement of a bill that would repeal an amendment in the state labor code that, in effect, extends contracts for recording acts longer than for other workers.
The labor groups, which represent more than 4 million workers in dozens of guilds and unions, intend to increase the pressure on lawmakers during an "Artists Lobby Day" in Sacramento that will include appearances by more than a dozen music stars--including Courtney Love, Beck, Sheryl Crow, Don Henley and Carole King as well as members of Los Lobos, Offspring and Matchbox Twenty and former members of Rage Against the Machine.
"This isn't just a rock-star issue anymore," said Sen. Kevin Murray (D-Culver City), who recently introduced the legislation on behalf of the artist community. "We've got pipe fitters and building trade laborers and all kinds of unions coming out in support of this battle as a workers issue now."
