After many years of experience in the sector, we have repositioned our purpose to “designing impact” (from previous “design for impact”) as we see enough innovation and existing design solutions across India where we don’t see the need to reinvent the wheel every time. We believe the design can play a role of “facilitator” or “enabler” to solutions and can facilitate ideas or innovative tools to be more market or community ready. Hence, we rather shape or design the impact an organization or solution intends to make in our ecosystem.
The current biggest challenge our design approach is facing is not the solutions or ideas we create but how design can inspire or influence socio-cultural behavior to adopt solutions. Given the complexity and diversity of communities in India, the social problems are far more complex to be resolved. It requires a multi-disciplinary approach to ideas and to influence people to change their mind-set and behavior to scale a solution. Designing for a billion market has been one of our lessons shared here.
It is not just about social impact but also if the solution or approach is socially relevant to the target community/ audience.
Economic scalability and growth can be endless as profits and the larger inequality challenges in the world stems from the limitless idea of profits or economic growth that has negative impact on other areas (society, ecology). Sustainability of economic growth is a much needed criteria.
Ecological preservation and conservation might require a different approach, however, impact sector and commercial sector are obligated to maintain a balance of resources they extract from nature, to put it back safely. A balance of ecology is an important step to support growth and development.
With global changes in cultural practices, ideas and values, it is not just important to preserve and conserve it but also to contextualise culture for younger generations.
Humans need to increasingly assess the impact of its business, product or service. Not just on their respective “target customers” but also the environment and wider stakeholders involved in the creation, production and consumption of new ideas, products or services.
Sustainability through design in products, services, systems and how we live is the future role of design . We need to build sustainability as a way of life and not just as a tool in social, economic, cultural as much as our environment/ ecology as these four pillars are interdependent.
Sustainable businesses, communities/ cities/ regions and lifestyle can contribute to a more manageable global resources and we need to design them contextually.
Sustainability centered design looks at a paradigm shift in using design as a thinking and execution tool beyond human-centric approach. In a hyper-connected world, impact of design and innovation is not just on humans but also on larger ecosystems of economy, society, ecology and culture. We need to build in sustainability that allows a more equitable distribution of resources and opportunities for communities across regions than need more than a higher income for quality life with rights. Sustainability centered design addresses this as not just a design thinking process for solving challenges but also looking at systemic challenges.
Sustainability centred design as a process can help us design products, services or systems but to evaluate its impact and relevance, we need to measure sustainability through impact metrics. It is a tool for evaluation of an idea or solution that can be improved or innovated further when we are able to measure the impact. We view designing impact as an evaluation tool for a sustainability centred design process.
We would continue to share the impact centric design approach through our work and externally to our audience and we share our design ideology journey here. Given the current global changes, the need to look at impact of a project, sustainability centred organization or an idea is important and has an inter-connectedness effect across regions or sectors.

Sebring’s S.Y. Hartt & Son Inc. sold the easement to the Rural and Family Lands Protection Program. The program was created in 2001 by the Florida Legislature and is administered by the Florida Forest Service, a division of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The program acquires perpetual conservation easements on Florida ranches and farms to protect rural and working agricultural lands that are threatened by development. Such easements allow landowners to continue to work the lands, thus keeping the property agriculturally sustainable as well as on tax rolls. “There are 760,000 acres in Florida protected by conservation easements,” said Dean Saunders of Coldwell Banker Commercial Saunders Real Estate, who brokered the sale. “This property was an ideal fit, allowing for the protection of the water and wildlife, keeping it from being developed, and protecting it for future generations.

Romania flag carrier TAROM has settled a complaint filed over six month ago by a disabled woman denied boarding at Sofia International airport.
Dilyana Deneva works for the Centre For Independent Living Sofia, a Bulgarian disability organization part of the European Network on Independent Living. Last February, Dilyana was all set to fly from Sofia to Dublin on business.
“On 5th February 2014 I had to travel to Dublin via Bucharest with the Romanian airlines TAROM in order to attend a very important staff meeting,” Dilyana recalls.
Dilyana purchased her ticket from a travel agent several days before the date of her trip. “At the time of booking my flights I made it clear that I’m a wheelchair user and I need assistance at the airport, and that I did not require assistance on board of the plane as I can stand up and make a few steps to my seat with the help of my mother,” the young woman said.
The airline pointed out that delivery of assistance to disabled persons depends on passengers notifying their needs at least 48 hours before their scheduled time of departure, and the transmission of this information to those involved in providing the assistance.
TAROM also said that booking agents have a vital role in this process and should receive specific training on how to seek and record this information and to ensure that it is passed on correctly.

The dramatic increase in the number of refugees from the Syrian Arab Republic (Syria) across the region in 2012 continues to require a large-scale response to address the needs of both refugees already present in host countries and new arrivals who continue to pour into Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq and Turkey, at a rate of up to several thousand a day. As of early December 2012, humanitarian agencies in these countries had been able to reach over 525,000 Syrian refugees. When the first Syria Regional Response Plan was published in March 2012 (and subsequently revised twice) it initially planned for some 96,500 refugees to receive assistance over a period of six months. As part of the latest revision of the Plan in September 2012, agencies appealed for a total of US$ 487.9 million to cover needs up to the end of 2012. As of 15 November, 51 per cent of this amount had been funded.
This new Regional Response Plan (RRP) takes up from where the previous one left off, setting the strategic objectives and activities for the first six months of 2013. It is based on the achievements and lessons learned from previous plans and is designed to address existing and emerging needs. Given recent trends in arrivals and registration in a context where the crisis in Syria shows no signs of abating, agencies estimate that the number of Syrian refugees may double in the coming six months, to reach 1.1 million people. For the first time, this planning figure covers refugees in Egypt, whose numbers have grown significantly over the past year, and whose assessed needs have prompted their inclusion in this RRP in a separate chapter.
While the Governments of Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Turkey and Egypt have continued to demonstrate their commitment to giving Syrian refugees access to their territory to assure their safety and provide assistance, this generosity has undeniably come at a heavy price for the many communities welcoming the refugees, as well as for the infrastructure and resources of the countries concerned. At a time of social, political and economic upheaval in many of the host countries, further compounded by developments in Syria, this RRP aims to provide lifesaving assistance to refugees while ensuring that the cost of their welcome is not borne by the countries of asylum alone, or by the many local communities which have already shown considerable generosity despite their limited means. Ultimately, burden sharing constitutes one of the key means of maintaining the protection space refugees have been able to enjoy so far. In order to ensure an inclusive approach which does not dissociate refugees from their new environment, the response takes into consideration all those affected by the refugee influx, from third country nationals and refugees of other origins leaving Syria to vulnerable members of host communities. Moreover, the Lebanon chapter of the response now includes activities targeting Palestinians from Syria who have also been forced to flee the country where they had been settled for generations.
The ability of humanitarian agencies to respond effectively and in a timely manner, regardless of the many challenges on the ground, will depend on their close coordination, particularly in view of the disparate nature of the displacement in host countries. To this end, the current Plan brings together the coordinated efforts of over 60 international and national agencies with UNHCR continuing to lead the overall response. Together, agencies are appealing for US$ 1 billion in order to cover the protection and assistance needs of up to 1.1 million Syrian refugees in the region from 1 January until 30 June 2013. The RRP calls for the urgent demonstration of donors’ solidarity with refugees and their commitment to share the cost of their protection and well-being with the countries and peoples who are currently bearing the brunt of the influx.

The Order was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, who is celebrated as ‘Our Lady of the Annunciation.’ To commemorate the ‘fifteen joys of the Virgin,’ the Order initially had fifteen Knights and fifteen Chaplains, who said fifteen masses every day; the Order’s original statutes had fifteen clauses.
The Order was reserved only for members of the nobility, who swore allegiance to their sovereign. The main rule declared all knights equal among themselves, united in a military and religious ‘fraternity.’ This is probably why the Order has only one rank. All the Knights had an equal say in the decisions concerning the admission of new members, who were elected unanimously.
At its inception, the Order had fifteen knights. In 1409, Amadeus VIII (1383-1451), Count of Savoy, later elevated to the first Duke of Savoy in 1416, gave the Order its first known statutes. In 1518, Amadeus VIII’s statutes were amended and reformed by Duke Charles III (1486-1553) who extended the Order to five more knights. Further amendments were made in 1570 by Duke Emmanuel Philibert (1528-1580), and thereafter by succeeding Grand Masters. The most recent changes were promulgated on June 11, 1985 by H.R.H. Prince Victor Emmanuel of Savoy, the current hereditary Grand Master of the Order. The head of the Royal House of Savoy continues to confer the Order, though very rarely. A recent recipient was H.S.H. the late Prince Rainier III of Monaco. The Annunziata is now bestowed only upon members of royal families and heads of state. Today, in addition to senior members of the Savoy family, its members also include H.M. the King of Spain, H.M. the King of The Belgians, and H.I.M. the Emperor of Japan.
The Order has only one rank and is limited to twenty knights. The first insignia was a goldplated silver collar with the motto, fert, inside a ring with three Savoy knots. The Order, however, has two sets of insignia, the Piccola Collana (Small Collar) and the Grande Collana (Large Collar). The primary and oldest insignia of the Annunziata is the collar. It consists of a solid gold medallion of the collar, which portrays the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary by the Archangel Gabriel. The medallion is surrounded by three intertwined Savoy knots, decorated with small crosses fleury, and in the upper center, between two of the Savoy knots, a cluster of rays with a dove, representing the Holy Spirit, is also depicted in gold. The badge is suspended from a gold chain made up of fifteen ornate gold sections, each of which is linked by a Savoy knot. The star of the Annunziata, which was first used in 1680 is gold and also has a representation of the Annunciation in a medallion in the center which is set within a gold cross of four pommels. This is surrounded by a cluster of gold rays.

Stuyvesant Town residents have been wondering about the origins of a bunny that appeared in the neighborhood over the holiday weekend.
On Sunday, the critter was seen outside Ess-a-Bagel on First Avenue. One resident, Lola Franco, told Town & Village the bunny seemed fine when she went to scoop it up so she left it be, later hearing that ST/PCV Public Safety officers had managed to capture it. However, she later went back for it, concerned that the creature could end up euthanized at a shelter. She brought it home and a few hours later, her daughter, who works at the nearby ABC Animal Hospital, took the bunny to work with her for a checkup.
The following day, another resident posted on the Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village Tenants Association Facebook page about a gray and white bunny sighting at 20th Street and First Avenue. Franco said this was after the other bunny had been caught she didn’t think it was the same bunny seen by different people.
Several reported sightings over the past couple of weeks of dead and dying squirrels in Stuyvesant Town have had residents wondering what’s going on — since they clearly weren’t devoured by hawks.
One resident, Noam Freedman, said he saw a dying one near Playground 7, with his wife spotting another one behind 7 Oval. The one he saw was lying on the ground, its legs twitching.
On November 15, Freedman noted the incidents on the Tenants Association’s Facebook page. This was followed by a few more residents commenting that they’d seen dead squirrels in different areas in the complex recently.
On Friday morning, a resident of Stuyvesant Town who was out bird watching saw a form of wildlife she’d never encountered before — a skunk – by the Oval.
The resident, Anne Lazarus, said at first she thought she was looking at a large cat — possibly around two feet long including its tail – but then realized what it was as it lumbered along the walkway. Therefore, she knew not to get too close.
Upon noticing Lazarus, she said, “It raised its tail and I backed off quickly.” She then contacted a public safety and an officer who’s previously rescued animals, Patrolman Morales, responded. Armed with a bag at the end of a pole he managed to get the black and white critter inside a large container. Unfortunately, this wasn’t without getting sprayed first.
Lazarus had left the scene by that point but later heard from Morales that he’d brought the skunk to an appropriate area in upstate Kingston and released it there.
Just when you thought it was safe to unwrap your Snickers bar in Stuyvesant Town, reports have surfaced of another child getting attacked by a squirrel. Last Thursday, in its weekly newsletter to residents, StuyTown Property Services stated that a child was scratched when a squirrel leapt out of a garbage can.
Because of this, management is asking residents not to feed the local wildlife anywhere on the property. SPS also not so subtly alluded to the fact that residents have been ignoring its rule about not feeding squirrels within 50 feet of the playgrounds specifically for children’s use.
Now, along with the signs, if a resident is spotted by a public safety officer feeding the critters near any of those five children’s playgrounds, he or she will be told to stop, a spokesperson for management told us. The rep added that the scratch received by the child wasn’t serious.
On Tuesday, State Senator Brad Hoylman met his battiest constituent yet.
On Primary Day, the scores of candidates on the ballot for citywide races briefly had their thunder stolen by an injured bat and its rescuer, State Senator Brad Hoylman.
Hoylman said he found the creature, which appeared to be in distress, near a tree pit on East 10th Street.
He could see it was still alive though, albeit struggling to right itself by flapping around. The copper-colored bat, Hoylman observed, had a wingspan of about seven inches, although the body was comparatively small. It also had, tiny razor sharp teeth, “so I made sure to stay away,” he added.
Concerned that the bat might expire under the hot sun, Hoylman and Gormley got a box from a nearby restaurant, gently scooped up the bat and put it inside. They then brought it to the Wild Bird Fund, which is headquartered on the Upper West Side.

However , she later went back for it , concerned that the creature could end up euthanized at a shelter . She brought it home and a few hours later , her daughter , who works at the nearby ABC Animal Hospital , took the bunny to work with her for a checkup .
 The following day , another resident posted on the Stuyvesant Town - Peter Cooper Village Tenants Association Facebook page about a gray and white bunny sighting at 20th Street and First Avenue . Franco said this was after the other bunny had been caught she did n’t think it was the same bunny seen by different people .
 Several reported sightings over the past couple of weeks of dead and dying squirrels in Stuyvesant Town have had residents wondering what ’s going on — since they clearly were n’t devoured by hawks .
 One resident , Noam Freedman , said he saw a dying one near Playground 7 , with his wife spotting another one behind 7 Oval . The one he saw was lying on the ground , its legs twitching .
 On November 15 , Freedman noted the incidents on the Tenants Association ’s Facebook page . This was followed by a few more residents commenting that they ’d seen dead squirrels in different areas in the complex recently .
 On Friday morning , a resident of Stuyvesant Town who was out bird watching saw a form of wildlife she ’d never encountered before — a skunk – by the Oval .
 The resident , Anne Lazarus , said at first she thought she was looking at a large cat — possibly around two feet long including its tail – but then realized what it was as it lumbered along the walkway . Therefore , she knew not to get too close .
 Upon noticing Lazarus , she said , “ It raised its tail and I backed off quickly . ” She then contacted a public safety and an officer who ’s previously rescued animals , Patrolman Morales , responded . Armed with a bag at the end of a pole he managed to get the black and white critter inside a large container . Unfortunately , this was n’t without getting sprayed first .
 Lazarus had left the scene by that point but later heard from Morales that he ’d brought the skunk to an appropriate area in upstate Kingston and released it there .
 Just when you thought it was safe to unwrap your Snickers bar in Stuyvesant Town , reports have surfaced of another child getting attacked by a squirrel . Last Thursday , in its weekly newsletter to residents , StuyTown Property Services stated that a child was scratched when a squirrel leapt out of a garbage can .
 Because of this , management is asking residents not to feed the local wildlife anywhere on the property . SPS also not so subtly alluded to the fact that residents have been ignoring its rule about not feeding squirrels within 50 feet of the playgrounds specifically for children ’s use .
 Now , along with the signs , if a resident is spotted by a public safety officer feeding the critters near any of those five children ’s playgrounds , he or she will be told to stop , a spokesperson for management told us . The rep added that the scratch received by the child was n’t serious .
 On Tuesday , State Senator Brad Hoylman met his battiest constituent yet .
 On Primary Day , the scores of candidates on the ballot for citywide races briefly had their thunder stolen by an injured bat and its rescuer , State Senator Brad Hoylman .
 Hoylman said he found the creature , which appeared to be in distress , near a tree pit on East 10th Street .
 He could see it was still alive though , albeit struggling to right itself by flapping around . The copper - colored bat , Hoylman observed , had a wingspan of about seven inches , although the body was comparatively small . It also had , tiny razor sharp teeth , “ so I made sure to stay away , ” he added .
 Concerned that the bat might expire under the hot sun , Hoylman and Gormley got a box from a nearby restaurant , gently scooped up the bat and put it inside . They then brought it to the Wild Bird Fund , which is headquartered on the Upper West Side .

The most basic principles of Christianity taught by Jesus The Christ apparently is much too difficult for avowed members of the Christian Right. The hate and vitriol from the Christian Right against certain members of the human race defy and rebuke many of the beliefs held by Christ.
But even when the positions conservative Christians take are not steeped in vitriol and hate, their inability to embrace Christ's basic principles seem difficult ponderous, and mysterious to them.
When this Stephen Colbert quote was posted on various Facebook pages, the outrage from the conservative right was quick and unapologetic. The venom and hate from some corners in the defense of reasons to avoid helping the poor and needy apparently stem the conservative belief that helping the poor means rewarding lazy liberals, lazy blacks, and illegal brown immigrants for their worthlessness and laziness. Poor lazy white conservatives often are excluded from this diatribe or are not deemed to be a problem.
One conservative Christian's response to the Stephen Colbert posting on Facebook, however, was absent any directed vitriol. It was a statement that had the connotative air of a question. She simply said, "That depends on what we mean by helping". Taken out of context, it is a curious comment from a professed Christian. But, in the context of the conservative brain, it was a genuine attempt to ask an honest question.
What she really wanted to know is how can conservatives help the poor without letting lazy neer-do-well liberals, blacks, and illegal immigrants steal my hard earned money. Likely, most liberal have no problems with the same question as long as it is applied to both sides of the political divide and all parts of the racial and ethnic spectrum.
America would be a better America if the Christian Right would direct as much vitriol and venom toward wealthy CEOs of greedy, job killing, union busting, low wage paying, middle class destroying, off shore banking, affordable health care denying, job outsourcing corporations that pay little or no taxes and receive more money from the public treasury than do the poor.
Our system of government assistance can be improved to curtail waste and cheating. but it will happen if and only if elected members in the Senate and the House of Representatives work on the same issues with the same intent and without the weight of political grandstanding. Welfare cheaters should be eliminated. Some are too lazy to work. Some children who grow up depending on welfare do become adults who see government assistance as an entitlement that they pass on to their children.
However, not everyone who receives public assistance in the form of federal and state dollars are lazy blacks and illegal brown immigrants. Most are white Americans. Some are lazy white conservatives on the Christian right living in states that vote for conservative Republicans--states that year in and year out receive more in federal dollars that they pay in federal taxes. Neverthess, the amount of waste received by the poor, including the needy and working class cheaters pales in comparison to the billions received by corporations who give nothing back or at best give very little back.
Jesus said that that the poor will always be with us. But did Jesus Christ place any angry conditions on helping the poor and needy? Would The Christ have problems with any of these examples of aid to the poor?
1. Giving aid to a person or to a family that finds itself in dire straits. Like the parable of the good Samaritan, isn't that the Christian thing to do?
2. Providing public assistance whose goal is to lift the spirit and physical well being of the poor and needy.
3. Offering government assistance to provide additional educational opportunity and cultural experiences that give hope and help lift poor children--red, white, yellow, black, and brown--out of poverty.
4. Providing public assistance to any segment of society that, without that assistance, would remain in dire straits.
Helping does not mean giving poor lazy people the right to feed from the public treasury to get rich or even to get along without engaging in available work. It does not mean giving money to undeserving undesirables on either side of the political divide. On the other hand we understand that no effort to contribute to the common good is totally free from pitfalls and potential abuse by the poor, the not so poor, and the very rich--abuse we all should be willilng to guard against and help eliminate.
But, as Stephen Colbert so eloquently said: "If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it".

I was asked to make a lovey blanket, about half the size of a regular baby blanket. She wanted it for her little one to be able to carry around, without tripping over, or so big it dragged all over the ground.
Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful..
If you know me at all, you know I love Christmas. I love Christmas so much that I tend to get so excited for it, and phase over Thanksgiving. I do this, but in all reality, I have a great deal to be thankful for.
I have a big MOMMY FAIL to admit. I'm sure I'm not the only one out there. I can't be. The teacher in me is surprised at myself actually. But here it is.
Crochet Tiger Hat Pattern - FREE!!!
If you have a preschooler, you have probably heard of the infamous Daniel Tiger. I have to admit, it's actually a really cute show. The song is catchy, and an homage to the well loved "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood." There are not many patterns out there for this adorable character so I decided to make one up on my own.
Are you trying to find a new sitter? Are you trying to figure out some good questions to ask? Everybody's situation is always a little different but maybe my questions will help you out.
My 21 month old son was sick last week. He had a low fever the first 3 days of which I really didn't even notice unless I was hugging him because his body was so HOT. He acted fine though! He was running around and eating like nothing was wrong. I called and the nurse line at the doctors office and they said to call back in a few days if he still has it. The nurse just said he was fighting something off and it's body is doing what it needs to. I could give a little tylenol or ibuprofen to help the fever, but there wasn't any concern at all.
How cute is this little unicorn? I had a customer ask me if I could make one for her and she showed me a few pictures of what she was looking for. She wanted something small enough to go on top of a diaper cake, but still big enough for a baby to grow and cuddle with. This is what I came up with. I don't often share patterns like this for free, but it's just so cute that I wanted everyone else to enjoy in the magic of this Unicorn! So here's my FREE Crocheted Unicorn Pattern. If you would like to buy this already made you can here at MY STORE.
I love watching Shark Tank. It's a great show. I always tend to put myself in the seats of the judges. Would I bite on that business or not? There are definitely some that make me wonder how they even got on the show though. Like the other day I saw one with a fake phone. They said its the Pet Rock of our time. I mean really? Mostly, though, I'm sitting there thinking, "Why didn't I think of that?", or " What can I create?" These entrepreneurs just found a problem, and solved it with new items.
I love these crochet memes. I'm just going to leave them right here so you can enjoy them all as well!
In a previous post I talked about our decision of trying to cut out as much sugar as possible from our diets. One of our favorite meals has been Nachos. We don't look at the calories anymore, just the sugar intake. You can purchase all these ingredients with no sugar, you just have to look. I can buy all this stuff at our local grocery store, but if for some reason you cant, then any of the "organic" type stores (Lucky's, Trader Joes, etc..) should have them. Even my extremely picky 7 year old loves this meal!
Proud Mama: No more pull-ups!
I'm pretty laid back when it comes to potty training. At least I have been with my middle child, Lilly. I had my third baby when she was 2.5 so although it would have been nice to have her in underwear, I really did not have the time, or energy, to get her potty trained.
We tried here and there at first, and she kept having accidents. Finally, she was pretty much potty trained soon after she turned 3, and was entering school. From day 1 at school, she was in underwear. The teachers were fine with it which was great. She had a few weeks where she had a couple of accidents, but soon we were finally there.
A while ago, my husband and I went to see Kevin Smith at a comedy show. He was there to make people laugh, of course, but surprisingly, he also made people think about their health. He took us on his journey of weight loss. I don't know if you've noticed, but he has lost quite a bit of weight! It was pretty simple how he did it too. He stopped eating sugar. That's it. Taking sugar out of his diet made him a healthier, leaner person.
Being a stay at home mom is great! I love being with my babies, and being able to take care of all of the family stuff.
I try to help make a little money any way I can to help out. I'm pretty busy throughout the day with one thing or another, so I needed to find something that I can pick up at any time of the day to work on. I have my crocheting business, but sometimes, when it's slower, I wanted to have something else that I could do.
FREE Mickey Mouse Glove Applique Crochet Pattern!!
Recently, I've been making different characters into Easter/Halloween baskets. I have an order for a Mickey Mouse one and I wanted to add some gloves to it. I went to look for a basic pattern to guide me, but there were no patterns for crocheted Mickey Mouse glove appliques. So I decided to whip some up and post the free pattern here for anyone else who may need some! Enjoy!
I feel like I should be playing Eminem's "Cleaning Out My Closet" as I write this.
I think that song would be too short for how long this took though. SO, as I mentioned in a previous post, I bought a lot of overstock on bathroom items at a closing grocery store the other day.
The problem, though, is that I didn't have any space for them!
We have a grocery store in our area called Marsh. It is by far the least shopped at store, and surprisingly we had two in our town. Kroger, Target, Walmart, and the plethora of whole food type stores definitely have covered the grocery market in our town. Why we had two Marshes is beyond me. Not surprisingly, one of them recently announced that they were going to close down, and all of a sudden, the parking lot was packed!!
On my way to becoming a teacher again!
I passed my Teacher exams!!
I love to crochet. Obviously, I am The Crocheting Mom after all! Up until recently though, I've gotten my patterns from other people. Then I started to figure out my own way to make things, but never really wrote it down. I've had people ask me before for my patterns, but they were written in scribbles, or my notes on the computer, in a sequence that only I would be able to understand. Until now. These past few months I've started to create my own patterns.
For me, having one baby was easy. Then, the transition from one child to two children was also extremely do-able. So, I figured, adding one more to the mix would be a breeze!
Boy was I in for a wake up call when I had my third!!!!
There are a lot of reasons you may need to make a pom pom. They are cute accessories you can add to any craft project that you may be doing. I make them often with my crochet projects. Here are a few of my items that I have added pom poms to.
Notice that there are all different sizes though. I have a couple of different ways in which I go about making these pom poms that can create different styles and sizes.

 I 'm pretty laid back when it comes to potty training . At least I have been with my middle child , Lilly . I had my third baby when she was 2.5 so although it would have been nice to have her in underwear , I really did not have the time , or energy , to get her potty trained .
 We tried here and there at first , and she kept having accidents . Finally , she was pretty much potty trained soon after she turned 3 , and was entering school . From day 1 at school , she was in underwear . The teachers were fine with it which was great . She had a few weeks where she had a couple of accidents , but soon we were finally there .
 A while ago , my husband and I went to see Kevin Smith at a comedy show . He was there to make people laugh , of course , but surprisingly , he also made people think about their health . He took us on his journey of weight loss . I do n't know if you 've noticed , but he has lost quite a bit of weight ! It was pretty simple how he did it too . He stopped eating sugar . That 's it . Taking sugar out of his diet made him a healthier , leaner person .
 Being a stay at home mom is great ! I love being with my babies , and being able to take care of all of the family stuff .
 I try to help make a little money any way I can to help out . I 'm pretty busy throughout the day with one thing or another , so I needed to find something that I can pick up at any time of the day to work on . I have my crocheting business , but sometimes , when it 's slower , I wanted to have something else that I could do .
 FREE Mickey Mouse Glove Applique Crochet Pattern ! !
 Recently , I 've been making different characters into Easter / Halloween baskets . I have an order for a Mickey Mouse one and I wanted to add some gloves to it . I went to look for a basic pattern to guide me , but there were no patterns for crocheted Mickey Mouse glove appliques . So I decided to whip some up and post the free pattern here for anyone else who may need some ! Enjoy !
 I feel like I should be playing Eminem 's " Cleaning Out My Closet " as I write this .
 I think that song would be too short for how long this took though . SO , as I mentioned in a previous post , I bought a lot of overstock on bathroom items at a closing grocery store the other day .
 The problem , though , is that I did n't have any space for them !
 We have a grocery store in our area called Marsh . It is by far the least shopped at store , and surprisingly we had two in our town . Kroger , Target , Walmart , and the plethora of whole food type stores definitely have covered the grocery market in our town . Why we had two Marshes is beyond me . Not surprisingly , one of them recently announced that they were going to close down , and all of a sudden , the parking lot was packed ! !
 On my way to becoming a teacher again !
 I passed my Teacher exams ! !
 I love to crochet . Obviously , I am The Crocheting Mom after all ! Up until recently though , I 've gotten my patterns from other people . Then I started to figure out my own way to make things , but never really wrote it down . I 've had people ask me before for my patterns , but they were written in scribbles , or my notes on the computer , in a sequence that only I would be able to understand . Until now . These past few months I 've started to create my own patterns .
 For me , having one baby was easy . Then , the transition from one child to two children was also extremely do - able . So , I figured , adding one more to the mix would be a breeze !
 Boy was I in for a wake up call when I had my third ! ! ! !
 There are a lot of reasons you may need to make a pom pom . They are cute accessories you can add to any craft project that you may be doing . I make them often with my crochet projects . Here are a few of my items that I have added pom poms to .
 Notice that there are all different sizes though . I have a couple of different ways in which I go about making these pom poms that can create different styles and sizes .

Canadian research ethics: Caught in a quagmire of privacy legislation?
This article, from the National Post (September 24) revisits, again, the cry from researchers that overzealous privacy legislation, at both federal and provincial levels, are preventing researchers from accessing individuals and databases. This quick overview of an article originally in the Canadian Journal of Public Health (July- August 2008, A. Harris et al) illuminates two important points that researchers and REBs continue to agonize over.
First, privacy legislation is making it difficult, if not impossible to access data that previously was available to researchers, even anonymized data stripped of all possible identifiers.
Second, and most importantly, the privacy legislation is difficult for many to understand and therefore, is applied and interpreted very differently by different agencies, data stewards and, I would add, REBs and researchers, who are obligated to understand the legislation as applied to specific situations, agencies, information across a variety of contexts.
True enough, the legislation is more than difficult for even smart people to interpret. The “basic reader” on Canadian privacy laws published by the Canadian government that I keep on my desk is thick and heavy with enough very small print to make it a daunting task to try to find an answer to the simplest question. It makes a great paperweight but is not overly helpful in my own interpretation and application of the Acts.
According to the Canadian government, Canada has the most comprehensive privacy legislation in the world. Few would argue with that. At a federal level, there is PIPEDA and the Privacy Act. In addition, provinces and territories have their own privacy legislation statutes, and even the most educated persons are not always quite sure whether federal legislation trumps provincial or vice versa, on an ad hoc basis.
Ontario, interestingly enough, has both PHIPA (The Personal Health Information Protection Act) and FIPPA (The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act). PHIPA allows for the protection of the privacy of persons and the confidentiality of their personal health information. FIPPA is designed in part to protect individuals’ identifiable information held by institutions, guide institutions on how to handle information and allow individuals access to the information that an institution holds about them.
Most REBs in Ontario are involved with applying both PHIPA and FIPPA when reviewing researchers’ plans on accessing personal data and health information. Most researchers have to work within the constraints of FIPPA and/or PHIPA to access individuals and information. But it is a laborious task for all concerned. And many people aren’t even sure which act is which if they aren’t engaged with privacy issues on a daily basis.
I was also amused to find that while everyone refers to FIPPA phonetically, some also pronounce the acronym for the Personal Health Information Act (PHIPA) exactly the same, correctly pronouncing the “ph” as a “f”. Yet more confusion, no doubt, probably quite unknowingly, in many conversations….
While there are certainly clear distinctions between the Privacy Act, PIPEDA, PHIPA, FIPPA and other provincial statutes, it remains that the legislation created with the laudable aim of protecting Canadian citizens is unclear, the separate Acts can be difficult for both lay persons and academics to untangle and many institutions and agencies are either not applying the Acts at all, or interpreting and thereby applying them in an incorrect way. The valuable objectives and good intentions of protecting private information and those most vulnerable to a breach in privacy are obscured against a backdrop of confusion and a lack of guidance and clarity by governing bodies.

At the Dreamforce 2015 conference, cloud-based CRM provider Salesforce built on its key innovations from last year, with improvements to its development platform, Lightning, and its analytics offering, Wave. With its upgrades, Salesforce has continued to focus on personalizing customer experiences, making data actionable and democratizing the application experience for business users.
Salesforce built on these upgrades with enhancements to existing offerings, such as the Sales and Service Clouds, as well as with new service offerings at the Dreamforce 2015 conference. Announced at the show was Salesforce's foray into the Internet of Things -- the IoT Cloud -- which enables companies to take the massive streams of data coming from products, ingest that data into the Salesforce platform and generate actions based on the data in real time. Wind turbines could adjust their behavior based on weather or delayed passengers with airline connections could be rebooked while they are still in flight. The IoT Cloud is powered by Thunder, a sister development platform to Lightning, under the hood.
The IoT Cloud also reflects Salesforce's further entrenchment in its ecosystem. Microsoft, for example, is using the cloud to capture data on Office 365 usage, Microsoft's productivity and collaboration platform. Salesforce in turn is tapping into Microsoft's Azure for scalability given the massive volumes of data, then sending the data to Salesforce applications.
Users responded to the offerings at the Dreamforce show with piqued interest -- and some caution. Users are generally enthused by the enhancements to Lightning, which they said has made Salesforce applications' UI far more user-friendly.
The Health Cloud, which Salesforce announced on the eve of Dreamforce, targets the healthcare industry and aims to bring siloed patient data together to improve patient relationships. However, the Health Cloud is ambitious in scope, promising to stitch together data from legacy healthcare systems. But this kind of data integration has been a bugbear even in industries in which CRM systems are well-entrenched, such as retail, so healthcare may pose an even steeper challenge.
Wave, the Salesforce Analytics Cloud, still needs to establish its street cred among a wider base of users. While some companies welcome its business-friendly data visualization features and speed of implementation, many others are still heavily invested in other analytics tools and need to figure out where Wave fits in to their plans.
Finally, the IoT Cloud presents opportunities to corral and digest massive volumes of product and customer data, but it's a major undertaking that will take infrastructure and other adjustments for many companies.
Ultimately, Salesforce's moves at Dreamforce 2015 signal that the cloud-based CRM provider is moving well beyond its roots, though CRM remains at the core. Time will tell whether this expansion bolsters its foundation or extends CRM too far afield.
For more Dreamforce conference news and trends, check out our roundup below.
The Dreamforce 2015 conference was marked by Salesforce's commitment to tackling new industries with offerings including the IoT and Health Clouds but also by customer re-evaluation of older services. A year after their releases at Dreamforce 2014, Salesforce's Analytics Cloud, known as Wave, and its application-development platform, Lightning, still face adoption challenges among users. The conference also signaled the start of a deeper relationship between Salesforce and Microsoft, which could open doors for the IoT Cloud.
From the Internet of Things (IoT) to data analytics and creating their own applications, Salesforce customers had a lot to talk about at the Dreamforce 2015 conference. Salesforce's new IoT Cloud was a hot topic at the show as users explored whether the platform, which aims to connect billions of data points from many different Web-connected devices, made sense for their businesses. One year after their release at last year's conference, Wave, or the Analytics Cloud, and the app-creation platform Lightning got upgrades in advance of this year's show and were met with some mixed reactions. Companies also shared their stories of how overcoming data challenges and moving to the cloud helped streamline their business processes.
