Moving abroad for love: being an expat in your partner's home country

Postby chris » Sat Aug 16, 2014 8:26 am

Moving abroad can be challenging at the best of times, but moving to a new country to be with your foreign partner can present a whole host of different challanges. Elisa Scarton, an Australian expat living in Italy, shares her experiences of moving abroad to be with her Italian husband, and offers some advice to those contemplating a move abroad for love.

It might sound like the ending of a Hollywood film, but moving overseas to be with your significant other can be an isolating and distressing experience. Cutting ties with your home country, packing up your life and readjusting to a new culture, language and city are all gargantuan tasks. Often the true impact of your decision only hits after you move, when the excitement wears off and you’re left to decide what to do next.

I recently moved to my husband’s home country, Italy, so I know what it’s like to live abroad for love. Here’s some advice to help you prepare and cope.

Before you move

It’s easy to tell yourself that everything will fall into place when you arrive in your new country, but the only way to secure a smooth move is to plan for every eventuality before you leave. Sit down and make a list of all your worries and concerns and all the things you’re going to need and miss when you move.

It might sound pessimistic, but the trick to surviving a life-changing experience like this is to be honest with yourself and your partner. They have a much easier ride than you; it is their country after all. Being dishonest can lead to resentment, but your partner can’t give you the proper support if he/she doesn’t know what you’re worried about.

Once you have your list, you can start planning how you’re going to cope. If you have a strong support network of family and friends at home, set up a regular communication schedule. Services like Skype and Google Talk make international phone calls a breeze, not to mention free, and can be synced to a web camera. Work out what days and times you’re going to call and stick to them. The routine will make the distance easier for you and your loved ones. If you like the idea of being able to pick up the phone and call home, invest in a VoiP (voice over Internet Protocol) phone. They’re cheap and work just like a landline, except they use your Internet connection instead of the phone line. There are plenty of companies online that offer competitive monthly or prepaid rates for VoiP phones.

I was lucky to spend some time in my husband’s hometown in the years before I moved permanently. It’s something I would recommend to anyone considering a move abroad. It’s easier to adjust to your surroundings if you have some forewarning and the threads of a new support system. If that’s not possible, the next best thing to do is get some books on your new country and start researching online. Pick out the biggest things; usually that’s the language, healthcare and finding a job.

If you don’t speak the language, get lessons. There’s nothing more isolating than not being able to understand the people around you. Get your head around the healthcare system next. What are your rights as a non-citizen? Are you immediately entitled to citizenship or do you need to apply for permanent residency? In Italy, the spouses of Italian citizens are given permanent residency first. The process can take an extremely long time and you can’t apply for anything, be it a healthcare card or a job, until you have permanent residency.

You should consider arranging your international drivers’ license before you leave. If you’re not careful, living abroad can be a serious hit to your independence and sense of self-worth. Getting out and about and running your own errands will help you assimilate a lot faster and reduce the burden on your partner.

When you arrive in your new country

Make finding a job your first priority. It’s not all about the money. You’ll be surprised at how easily a job can boost your confidence and sense of independence. It’s also a great way to make new friends and engage with someone other than your partner.

Friends, or at least acquaintances, can make or break your move. A lot of people who move overseas to be with their partners can become clingy and jealous. After all, your partner still has their old support network, while you have no one. But it can be trying on your relationship if you want to dominate their attention and get antsy when they go out without you.

There is some disagreement over whether you should make friends with locals or expats. My advice is to have a mix of both. You might shudder at the idea of making friends with people from back home, but you’ll quickly find it’s extremely comforting to meet someone who understands your culture and your love of bacon or rugby league or English soap operas.

If there are children involved, get them into a routine as soon as possible. Don’t just think school, consider extra-curricular activities and playgroups. Make sure they understand the culture they’re moving to and, if necessary, consider a few in-country therapy lessons. Moving abroad is traumatic, no matter how well you’ve prepared, and your children might need to speak to someone other than you about their feelings towards leaving their friends, family and life behind.

The same goes for you. Extra-curricular activities are a great way to meet people with similar interests and a little bit of therapy can give you the tools you need to survive those first few difficult months. As the excitement of moving and unpacking dies down, things can get pretty bleak, pretty fast. If you have a really close connection with your home country and your family and friends, the realisation that you don’t live there anymore and won’t see them often is like being hit with a ton of bricks. You need to be prepared for when that happens. Therapy, friends and keeping yourself busy will soften the blow.

In the weeks, months and years that follow

The best advice I can give people who live abroad is don’t go cold turkey. The first year is the hardest. It can be incredibly reassuring to have an idea of when you’ll see your family, friends and home country again. Whether it be a month, six months or a year down the road, make a plan and stick to it. It will give you something to look forward to and make the adjustment period easier to handle.

Keep an open dialogue with your partner. They need to understand your frame of mind if they’re going to be able to support you. At the same time, try to regain the same level of independence you had in your home country. It’s easy to begrudge your partner because they seem so comfortable. It’s one of the things that set expat couples and people who move for love apart. Expat couples struggle and adapt together, while a person who moves abroad for love can feel alone. It’s likely your partner doesn’t know what it’s like to adapt to a new country. You need to speak up and not put on a brave face.

It’s inevitable that those cultural quirks that once seemed cute will become annoying. In my case, there was only so much pasta I could eat before I started to miss the taste of home. A couple of cookbooks and some Australian-themed dinners helped ease the ache. But the only way to avoid culture shock is to understand and accept. Italians are renowned for their bureaucracy and snail-paced way of doing business. It took me so long to find the self-control and stop getting frustrated and angry. The more familiar you are with your new country’s way of life, the better your chances are of coping. You can’t beat them, so you have to join them.
That said, living abroad does not mean abandoning your cultural identity. I know expats who have thrown all their energy into assimilating and have ended up upset and alienated. It’s especially important if you have kids to keep your heritage alive. Share your food, culture, history and language with your new friends and family.

If you’re living in a country where your first language is not spoken, it’s important to take a break every so often. I find there are days when I can’t speak Italian anymore. My language skills are good, but sometimes I can’t express my ideas and thoughts as well as I’d like and that’s frustrating. Now I speak to my husband exclusively in English at least one day a week and it’s incredibly therapeutic. If your partner doesn’t speak your first language, they should get lessons. Your language is a huge part of your identity and you need to be able to share that. In the meantime, seek a temporary salve in television shows, movies or books in your first language.

And finally, the hardest but most important thing you must do is find your own reason for living in your new country. Your partner cannot be the only thing that ties you to a place. If you hate everything about your new country and are only there to make your partner happy, you may become bitter and your relationship could falter. You need to accept that you’ve moved and you need to make your own ties and your own peace with your new country. That might be in the form of friends, a job, hobbies, food, shopping or sights. Learn to love your new home and you’ll find life will become a lot easier.

Income Protection – Tax free payments for when you are absent from work

Whatever the reason for being absent from work, whether suffering an incident, accident, illness or if you have lost your job due to closures or employers going bankrupt, the wise and prudent choice of taking out valuable income protection is a safe and secure way of ensuring that you receive a part of your monthly income tax free for however long you may be out of work, find alternative employment or reach the age for retirement, where your pension will begin paying out.

There are many incentives for those signing up for income protection as the industry remains highly competitive and the state of many individuals employment status remains slightly sketchy. Having the assurance that for an affordable fee, there are ways in which to protect your income from events that can occur outside of your control, you can easily achieve this with a bespoke income protection insurance policy.

With an increased number of companies offering income protection, choosing the best policy for you may become a headache. This is where you need to consider a well established and competent expert to deliver the customised solution that meets your requirements but with low cost premiums. Income protection insurance comparison sites purposely hone their expertise and knowledge to encapsulate policy members with a viable insurance package that offers the right level of cover if an income is crippled in any way.

You will receive tax free payments that will equate to a large percentage of your weekly, monthly wage or annual salary, each month until you return to work, find further employment or retire. The flexibility of such insurance plans means that you can begin paying your premiums on an annual basis or on a monthly basis to work best with your current financial set up. An income protection insurance plan is far more rewarding than receiving state benefits or sick pay and lasts for as long as necessary.

Tenant Referencing | UK Tenant References and Credit Checks

Do you really KNOW your tenant?  Are you sure they have a good credit record and have no CCJ’s, debts or previous rent arrears to their name.

As a private landlord, it is essential you understand the history of your tenant, how your tenant behaved financially in the past and if you are letting to a reliable tenant.

By outsourcing tenant referencing to a company, you can be certain of a true source of information relating to your tenant, and can be assured your letting is a safe and secure one.  The tenant referencing company will score your tenant on:

  • Income to rent ratio.
  • CCJ’s against the tenant.
  • Any bankruptcy or Administration.
  • Breaks in income over the previous 6 months.
  • References from previous landlords/letting agents.
  • Bad credit scores due to missed payments on credit cards, store cards and similar.
  • If your tenant has any of the above, it is not necessarily the finalisation of the letting opportunity. As a landlord, you could ask for the agreement of a tenant guarantor; remember, it is essential you also credit check them.

Tenant References - Protect your buy to let income

Cover yourself, make sure you get your rental income protected by attaining creditable references on your tenants.  You will need to have performed these credit checks if you are looking to purchase a rent guarantee insurance product.

Art > Indian Ceramics Triennale

The Foundation is offering production support to young Indian ceramists at the Indian Ceramics Triennale 2018.

About the Triennale

The Contemporary Clay Foundation in partnership with the Jawahar Kala Kendra, Jaipur presents the first edition of the Indian Ceramics Triennale, Breaking Ground: International Investigations in Clay.

Civilization, increasingly mediated by digital technology, hurtles towards an intangible virtual future. As traditional certainties fade, the core of post-industrial civilization has eroded. This gap between the escalating pace of virtual technological change and the slower human pace of absorbing change is perhaps at the heart of a renewed contemporary focus on the medium of clay. Informed by the needs and opportunities of our time, contemporary artists are increasingly choosing clay as muse and medium, plumbing its limitless possibilities and pushing beyond traditional conceptual boundaries. Through clay, the most ancient, basic and tactile of art media, artists across the world are bringing an incredible creativity and liveliness to the arts.

Breaking Ground presents projects in ceramics by 45 artists, both international and Indian, exploring new aesthetics, techniques and processes.

19 days to go to the AFC Asian Cup, UAE 2019

What can you buy for £25m? Bolton, their ground, a hotel and 40-acres of land

Bolton Wanderers

October 9 – Ken Anderson, owner of English Championship Bolton Wanderers will sell his 94.45% stake in Burnden Leisure, the club’s holding company, for £25 million.

With Premier League clubs costing north of £200 million, investor focus has been on cheaper opportunities in the next division down. Leeds United were recently sold for £40 million while Barnsley are also on the verge of concluding a £20 million sale. Chinese investors have control of Wolverhampton Wanderers, Birmingham City, Aston Villa and Reading. All are chasing the big money rewards of the Premier League.

Bolton Wanderers were relegated from the Premier League in 2012 and have struggled since then both financially and on the pitch, having been relegated to Division One before returning the Championship this season.

Financially the club has struggled having just avoided winding up orders over unpaid taxes in 2015 and 2016, and suffering under £200 million of debt owed to previous owner Eddie Davies. Davies wrote off £125 million of that debt.

The 94.5% stake is held by Sports Shield Consortium with Anderson the principal within that group. The £25 million sale price he is asking for includes the club, the Macron stadium, the Whites Hotel (built into the stadium) and the club’s 40-acre training ground.

A statement by Anderson on the club website says: “Over the last 12 months, we have received many enquiries from China, America, Canada, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and the UK. This does not surprise me and is vindication of my previous comments. The club has a fantastic infrastructure and has a well-regarded history.

“The stadium, in its 20th year, is iconic and contains an award-winning hotel which has a thriving conference and events business as well as a high room occupancy.

“The stadium and our ancillary businesses are a truly 365-day operation which ultimately helps to drive revenue for the football club.

“As I have always said, if any individual or group is able to invest significant resources and has the club’s best interests at heart, then I will be willing to hold discussions with them…

“Since I have been involved with the club, my aim was to get the club promoted back to the Sky Bet Championship and that was achieved at our first attempt during the very difficult circumstances of having to operate under a transfer embargo and the financial legacy we inherited.

“My job now is to try to ensure that we retain Championship status this season and continue to work towards achieving a sustainable financial model, and I am confident that with the continued support of our fantastic staff and supporters both of these tasks will be achieved.”

Bolton Wanderers are currently bottom of the Championship.

Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty

Yesterday I've got my acts together and despite the fact that I have a tons of things to do before my departure to go to Italy, I didn't want to the chance to miss Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty at the Metropolitan Museum.

If you're in New York, or planning a visit, don't miss it.
It's a one of a kind exhibition that takes you hand by hand with the genius.
mission accomplished... R.I.P.

It's not about the clothes, the shoes, nor the head pieces.
It's not the show on a catwalk.
It's the the intensity of emotions that gives you and will stay with you.
Plus, of course, you'll see some of the most amazing pieces of clothing ever created.

And in case you can't make it, this is the video:

I snapped some pictures (even if I've got my butt kicked), and couldn't resist to buy the book on my way out... here's some of my favorites in no particular order...

xox, d.

keep in touch!

facebook * bloglovin * pinterest

  1. Thanks for the compliment on the chairs! I so wanna got to this exhibition!

  2. questa mostra è di una bellezza commovente! Che peccato non poterla vedere! Puro genio, ormai gli abiti di McQueen sono opere per collezionisti d'arte!

  3. My oldest daughter and I are planning our first trip to NYC just to visit this.
    I can't wait. We are still trying to decide if it is better to stay in NYC or NJ.
    Thanks for the preview.

Go Right

Strangely beautiful and moving. Who says video games can't be art?

"Hey guys, what if... what if we went left?"
"Oh God, nope, this was a terrible idea!"

Check This Out: Project M Demo 2.0

Smash Brothers fans can agree that Brawl was a good game, but not a good Super Smash game. Luckily, there's a dedicated group of individuals out there who aim to fix that. Enter the Smashmods community. These groups of modders have fixed up Brawl in a variety of flavors, free of charge. There's something for everyone depending on the amount of disappointment you hold towards the game. The best part? You don't even have to mod your console or void any warranties. It's free, easy, and legal to have the sequel to Melee you've always wanted. Of these mods, the biggest revamp comes in the form of Project M. Project M overhauls the gameplay almost completely. As the name would imply, Project M aims to make Brawl into Melee 2.0. I have to say that, for the most part, it absolutely succeeds. When you boot up the mod, you'll see that all the menus have received a custom makeover, stages have been swapped, and only 29 characters are available. Now, these 29 characters aren't indicative of the final roster (all the characters) but they are the furthest along in their revisions.

New footage of Chasing Aurora is lovely

There are 30 minutes left of PAX Prime 2011. My friend and I saw this awesome indie game days before and said we'd come back later to play it. With little time left, we determine to make make it our final game. We wait in line watch a few game. The game is beautiful and looks fun. It was a four player mode in which players chase after the fourth, who holds a magical glowing ball called "aurora". The objective is to steal it and hold on to it as long as you can. It's finally our turn. We sit on the couch of the most comfortable booth a PAX, grab our PS3 controllers, and... technical error. We didn't have enough time to wait for it to be fixed. Mission failed.

This new trailer is the first look at the game's single player mode, which I wasn't even aware of. Chasing Aurora looks even more beautiful than it did all those months ago!

Earthworm Jim coming to DVD... if you want it bad enough

Recently announced: Earthworm Jim the complete series from Visual Entertainment Inc. It'll be available July 10th for $25. That is, if interest is proven high enough. Obviously, VEI wouldn't even attempt to put out EWJ on DVD if there wasn't some demand for it, however the company has a weird policy in place. Basically, they've got these sets all ready to go but they won't actually be produced if there aren't enough preorders. If you're interested, make sure you preorder. You can even save $8 if you buy from Amazon.

On an Earthworm Jim related note, Mezco currently has a pretty sweet Jim figure up for preorder. It'll run you $17 and also ships in July. I used to have a really crappy Earthworm Jim action figure as a kid. I loved that thing to death but it's battered and broken now. I will definitely be picking this one up to relive the glory days of my childhood... by sitting it carefully on my shelf. Past the break, you'll find a comparison of Jim from then and now.

New Saturday night Fox animation block shows major potential

Fox just announced a new Saturday night animation block set to launch in early 2013. It's called Animation Domination HD (I bet the execs stayed up late to come up with a title that brilliant) and it's headed by Nick Weidenfeld, who used to head up Adult Swim. Except, based on the info currently available, it looks like ADHD will kick AS in the ass. Why, you ask? The first confirmed show is Axe Cop: The Animated Series. You read that correctly. It's been greenlit for six 15-minute episodes, with the intention to expand the show to a half hour. But that's not all! Erin "Egoraptor" Hanson has also been hired to create a series of shorts for the block! Now let's just hope the block stays on for more than two weeks. This is Fox we're talking about here.

Installation 04 @ PAX EAST 2012

So I was at PAX East last weekend and I played some great games. Not as many games as I wanted to play, but I played some cool stuff nonetheless. What did this year's show have to offer? Impressions lie within, including a spcial preview of Party of Sin.

You ought to be aware of this movie, because it looks awesome.

Kingdom Hearts 3 goes multiplatform

E3 is fast approaching, as you are well aware, and publishers have already begun preparation for the show. A little digging around the Square-Enix site by some avid fans has lead to the discovery of a page intended for launch during the show. Apparently, Squenix is prepping an announcement for Kingdom Hearts 3! There really aren't many details to be had here as the page is simply a splash page meant to house the announcement trailer. But the coding does reveil the above image, the game's logo, as well as one very important detail. The page lists the game for both PS3 and Wii U. This isn't particularly surprising to me, considering how many Kingdom Hearts games have been on Nintendo handhelds. Personally, I think this is great news and I think it'll work out well for everyone, especially Nintendo. The fine print lists a target release of fiscal year 2014, which could be any time between October 2013 and September 2014. I would count on later rather than sooner, but the rumor paired with this news story mentions KH3 is quite far along and names the secret development of this game as the reason for Versus XIII being pushed back for ever and ever. You can read the full story, including the html files, at this NeoGAF thread.

Did you catch Toonami last night?

Last midnight, instead of running their usual Saturday night anime block, Adult Swim aired Toonami. Not a collection of old this and that, either. It was the first brand new broadcast since September 2008. Below, you can catch the complete collection of bumps if you missed it. When you're done, please take a moment to write Cartoon Network and let them know how much you enjoyed this (seemingly) one time deal. They even have a specific Toonami category listed (I wonder why...) on their feedback page.

Shock and revulsion over Mogadishu bombing

Amanda Sperber

Freelance journalist based in Nairobi covering East Africa

The bomb was as enormous as the flecks of torn skin smudging the ground are miniscule. Entire overcrowded buses were blown up, every passenger killed. No one in the vicinity was spared: shopkeepers at the side of the road selling khat; office managers; children fooling around or running errands for parents; a medical student about to graduate; mothers; fathers; sisters; brothers.

At approximately 3:30 on Saturday afternoon, a truck bomb was detonated in the middle of the traffic in Mogadishu's Hodan district, next to the landmark Safari hotel, frequented by politicians and other Somali movers and shakers.

Later in the day, a second explosion was reported in the city's Madina district.

When the Hodan bomb went off, near the busy K5 roundabout, Somalis on social media reported it as the loudest explosion they'd ever heard – a feat in itself in a city that's been used to violence for more than two decades.

The bodycount started in the dozens, but soon started to climb, hitting 85, then more than 100. Now the death toll is officially up to 276 people.

It is expected to reach more than 300, said Mohamed Moalim, permanent secretary in the government’s Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management. Hundreds more have been injured.

"We still have a number of bodies not identified, hundreds of families wanting to identify loved ones, but it’s happening slowly because of the size of the situation,” he told IRIN via Skype. Many of the bodies are charred beyond recognition.

"When you see the area and location, you will [understand the extent of the damage]," said Farah Bashir, managing director of Galayr Consultancy, referring to the bustling commercial district, with many shops, hotels, and businesses.

He wasn't at the office when the explosion happened, but he heard the blast and arrived to find complete destruction, with shattered buildings and people trapped under rubble.

"The blood of the victims, burned pieces of human bodies,” said Bashir. “No doors, windows, curtains, walls – all [destoyed] and demolished.”

The city’s two largest hospitals, Medina and Turkish-supported Digfer, are entirely overwhelmed. There aren't nearly enough doctors and nurses to tend to everyone. Medical students are volunteering, but supplies are low.

"We need food, water, emergency equipment, beds, sheets, antibiotics," said Moalim. The UN and international NGOs are mobilising, but none were immediately on the ground, he noted.

African Union troops, known as AMISOM, have been providing security and services in the clean-up, and the Turkish government is sending ambulance planes expected to land today.

Aftermath of the bombing

Al-Shabab on the march?

As of yet, no group has claimed responsibility for the bombing, but it bears all the hallmarks of the jihadist group al-Shabab, at war with successive governments and their international backers since 2006.

They have staged repeated attacks in Mogadishu, but nothing close to the scale of Saturday’s carnage. Previously the worst attack was in June when 30 people died in the bombing of a popular pizza restaurant.

“They won’t claim responsibility because of the massive civilian deaths, but this was definitely an al-Shabab operation,” said Rashid Abdi, Horn of Africa director at the International Crisis Group.

“Why they’ve done it is because they had the opportunity to do it,” he told IRIN.

The security forces have suffered a series of setbacks over the last few months. They have withdrawn from the key Lower Shabelle region as a result of al-Shabab attacks, and there are rising tensions and low morale within the fledgling Somali National Army.

Last week, defense minister Abdirashid Abdullahi Mohamed and army chief General Mohamed Ahmed Jimale both submitted their resignations amid reports of rivalry between the two men.

The Somali army is being retrained and built up so it can take over security once AMISOM troops start withdrawing next year, but reforms have been slow.

The recent military setbacks have allowed al-Shabab “to gain a corridor to infiltrate Mogadishu,” said Abdi. “This is a serious lapse in security, or collusion.”

The truck carrying the explosives was believed to have been waived through the numerous checkpoints along the Afgooye road into the city, although the government says it was being followed before it detonated.

The attack has generated universal revulsion, with Mogadishu residents taking to the streets to demonstrate their outrage. Hundreds more have lined up to donate blood.

"I'm feeling very sad," said Bashir. "You can't identify and you can't know and you can't analyse the loss of [so many] innocent people who were just doing business around the area."

Somali President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo has declared three days of mourning.

The shock of Saturday’s attack has been likened to the impact of al-Shabab’s 2009 bombing of a medical school graduation that killed 19 people, which was widely condemned and hurt the group’s standing inside Somalia.

“We’re beginning to see a groundswell of public resentment, but whether this will translate into support for the government is hard to tell,” said Abdi.

Farmajo was elected in February by a landslide, but has struggled to bridge the deep divide between the central government and the six federal states over powers and authority, which is hobbling his administration.

The divisions have been exacerbated by the Gulf crisis between the Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates-led coalition, versus a diplomatically isolated Qatar.

Farmajo is seen to side with Qatar, while the cash-strapped Somali states have chosen Riyadh and Abu Dhabi – who are looking for bases in Somalia for their military intervention in neighbouring Yemen.

Al-Shabab may have been trying to take advantage of the government’s weakness, but it is unclear how things will now play out. “This [attack] could throw the government a lifeline in terms of public support, but it could tip the other way if it’s mishandled,” said Abdi.

Medical Q&As

Smear test - necessary for virgin?

Is a smear test necessary in an adult virgin?

A smear test is a screening test for carcinoma of the cervix. This particular cancer is associated with infection with specific numbered strains of HPV (human papilloma virus). This virus is acquired through sexual intercourse and can give rise to changes in the cells at the cervix or neck of womb. These changes can then gradually deteriorate over time and evolve into malignant change. If penetrative sexual intercourse has never taken place then HPV virus cannot gain access to the cervix. Therefore smear testing is not necessary in an adult virgin. The procedure could also be very uncomfortable for the woman because the vagina and the surrounding muscles and ligaments would be likely to be tight. This tightness could also make it difficult to actually perform the test.

The Off-The-Job Accident Program Can Work For You

Has this ever happened to you? An accident or injury occurs in the off-hours that makes working practically impossible, sidelining you for days or even weeks. With any accident, the uncertainty and worry start almost immediately – Will I be covered if I’m hurt during non-working hours? How will I be able to pay my medical bills? What about my regular bills? How will I be able to support myself and my family if I’m not able to work?

Unfortunately, this scenario is all too common. With this in mind, IMPACT created a program that will be there for you when you need help most: the Off-The-Job Accident Program. Thanks to this invaluable program, ironworkers hurt during non-work hours will be able to have peace of mind while they’re recovering and getting ready to come back to work.

With this benefit, IMPACT will cover up to two-thirds of your paycheck per week for up to six weeks (see inset for further details). In an era where medical emergencies often break the bank, participants in this program will rest a little easier knowing they will have income while they’re in recovery.

Many unions have greeted the Off-The-Job Accident Program with praise and appreciation. “[The Off-The-Job Accident Program] has been a godsend for our injured members and helps them from digging a financial hole,” said Local 21 (Omaha, Neb.) Business Manager Michael Baker.

And the program benefits contractors and employers, too; by making sure that workers are covered on and off the job, their employees do better work. “[The Program]… meets financial obligations in a time of need for the member… It’s good for morale,” said Harvey Swift, field operations manager for Bennett Steel.

What do actual ironworkers have to say about this program? “I got injured at home,” said Keith Williams, a union member with Local 396 of St. Louis, Mo. “I applied for IMPACT’s Off-The-Job Disability and received $800.00 a week for six weeks. That saved me. This is a terrific IMPACT program.”

So the next time you hurt yourself, whether you slip in the shower, take a foul ball to the head during your kid’s Little League game or get rear-ended on the way home from a job, rest assured that IMPACT will have your back.

INCOME REPLACEMENT: 66.7% of Weekly Income

MAXIMUM WEEKLY BENEFIT: Up to $800 per Week
(Total benefit combined with your existing plan and IMPACT Accident Disability Plan)

BENEFIT DURATION: 6 Weeks per Disability

*Eligibility is based on current member eligibility requirements under existing local union health and welfare plans and is subject to approval by the respective regional advisory board trustees. Complete plan details are available through IMPACT. Any potential benefits will be payable as defined in the policy.

Lantau Island

Lizzie Williams

Posted: 28th May 2015 08:37

As the largest island in Hong Kong, Lantau Island has something for everyone.  If it’s a taste of culture, a feast for your eyes, food for thought or just food you want, let Lantau Island oblige.  Unless, of course, a traditional fishing village, unrivalled sunset (and sunrise) vantage points, uplifting spiritual monuments and buildings, freshly caught seafood, friendly locals and long sandy beaches don’t sound like your thing? And if that’s the case, I’d probably just stay at home.

Big Buddha

Officially named Tian Tan Buddha, this huge steel and bronze statue has his head angled and his right hand raised as if he is giving a blessing to all.  The statue is affectionately known as ‘Big Buddha’, took twelve years to build, and faces north towards mainland China to watch over the Chinese people.

Wisdom Path

Located in the Ngong Ping hills, a short distance from Po Lin Monastery and the Big Buddha, the Wisdom Path is comprised of 38 wooden monuments – or steles – stood upright and bearing verses from the Heart Sutra; an ancient but well-known prayer revered by Buddhists, Confucians and Taoists alike.

Tai O

The Tai Olocals have been building their homes on stilts along the waterfront for generations, earning it the title of Hong Kong’s Venice. Browse the traditional market stalls, take a trip on a dragon boat or just sit in a café and absorb the atmosphere of this surreal fishing village.

Sunday work akin to slavery says Pope Francis

Pope Francis. PHOTO CREDIT: Newz

VATICAN CITY - Sundays are are a treasured day for rest that enables us to live fulfilling lives, Pope Francis announced to the congregation at his weekly address Wednesday. The pope declared that not working on Sunday is a Christian invention and that not adhering to it is to essentially submit oneself to slavery.

 “Sunday abstention from work did not exist in the first centuries: it is a specific contribution from Christianity. It was the Christian sense to live as sons and not as slaves brought to life by the Eucharist to make Sunday, almost universally, the day of rest.”

 To Christians, Sunday is made holy by the celebration of the Eucharist, the living presence of God among humans. The pope explained that honouring this tradition allows believers to draw “from the energy provided by the inexhaustible source of the Eucharist.”

 “Without Christ, we are condemned to be dominated by the fatigue of everyday life, and the fear of tomorrow. The Sunday meeting with the Lord gives us the strength to live today with confidence and courage and to go toward with hope.”

 The message of using Sundays as a respite from other forms of work has also been promoted to non-Christians by the Cardinal Gualtiero Bassetti, the president of the bishops. At a conference in Cagliari, the Cardinal explained that “Without Sunday we cannot live. For us believers, it means that without meeting in assembly to celebrate the Eucharist, we would lack the strength to face daily difficulties and not to succumb. But the secular society also needs Sunday, it is needed in the life of every man, it is needed in families to find time and ways to meet, it is needed in the quality of relationships between people.”

I've explained why here. There's plenty of past posts to read, though - hope you enjoy them !
Looking for a brilliant present for a young naturalist ? Buy my book ! Available from Amazon UK,
Amazon US and worldwide but buy from a local bookshop if you can.

All good things...

I've been blogging now at least once a week for six years and seven months, and this is my 416th blog post here. It's been an exhausting, brilliant and amazing journey, but I've made the very difficult decision that it's time to take a break from blogging for a while.

I began blogging when I was seven because I wanted to share more about the bones I found and the places I explored around my village. When I wrote my very first blog post, which only a couple of people read at the time, I never imagined that I would create something read by thousands of people every week.

 I never ever imagined that it would lead to me appearing on television and in newspapers, that Chris Packham, CBBC Newsround and CBBC Wild would come to my house to film, that I would end up appearing on Autumnwatch and Winterwatch, that I would appear on BBC Breakfast, or spend two hours on BBC Radio Four, or even appear on the BBC alongside Sir David Attenborough. And the most amazing thing of all, though, is definitely my book.

Through my blog I've shared some amazing things. I've talked about some of the most amazing bones in my collection of course, including my leopard and my golden eagle skulls. I've blogged about trail cameras and badger decomposition. I've blogged about watching white-tailed sea eagles and watching the rut. And I've also blogged about exploring ruined castles, long forgotten bunkers, and tracing the history of old farmhouses.

This has been an incredible adventure, and if you've been reading here you've been with me for the whole adventure. I've met some amazing and inspirational people, like Ben Garrod and Paolo Viscardi and Ric Morris. I've also been able to chat to some pretty incredible young naturalists, like Melanie Gould. I loved working on my book with Jo Bourne, who is one of the most amazing book editors ever. I've travelled the country giving talks about my book and my bones, and I've loved every minute.

What people often don't realise, though, is how much time this takes up. Each blog post seems to take at least two hours, plus the time taken to research it, or go exploring. Now seems the right time to take a break from blogging and take a bit of breathing space.

I'll still be doing my thing - exploring and discovering new things about the countryside, although maybe a little less than before. I'll still be trying to reply to any emails sent to me, although I can't guarantee anything. But if you're looking for a great blog to follow about bones, try Paolo Viscardi's Zygoma.

Thank you to everyone who has emailed me, or inspired me, or tweeted me, or messaged me. I've tried to reply to every one, and I know at busy times I've missed a few (sorry about that). It's meant a great deal to me. I hope you've enjoyed my posts as much as I have.

Want to start a business? Tips for getting money

If you are thinking of franchising, or starting a traditional business, there should be a way to have a substantial capital. You can do this by obtaining one from the bank. For whatever it is worth, the idea is for you to know how to get money to start a business. This is of utmost importance. Most of the time, start-up costs are different from one another. This would most likely depend upon the size of your business. There is an expectation that the business is not to turn into profit on its first six months. This transpires all the time. Doing a research is the answer in order for the mentioned to be figured out without any problems at all.

How to Produce Money for your Capital?

The truth is that you can actually start a business without any hard time at all. This can be made possible. However, the big question is – how can this be undertaken?

  • The first thing you need to do is plan. You have to make this plot before anything else. By doing such, you are projecting how much you will most likely need for your business to prosper. This is going to be a great way to determine how much you are most likely to be lacking, or needing.
  • Get a loan. This is the most common way. There are guaranteed loans that you can ponder upon if you really want to learn how to get money to start a business. This should not be a bad consideration after all.
  • Royalty financing is also another. This is a way for revenue to be pledged. This is when investors are allowed to ponder on their own business. This is another alternative that you can open your mind in to. It may help. That is for sure.

In a Michigan Fog

Yet another festival under my belt. It was a great event and I met so many wonderful people. Fiber Folks Rock! I returned from the Michigan Fiber Festival late on Monday evening, after a nice 10 hour drive, and I’ve been in a fog ever since. The weather here has not been cheery – non stop drizzle and rain ever since I returned home. It’s been hard to get into the studio and accomplish pending projects. I feel like I’m walking in muck. One foot in front of the other . . .
While in Michigan we stumbled upon a wonderful fruit stand, thank you dutch farm market, and I stumbled upon a half bushel of peaches. So mom and I spent yesterday evening making them into gold. (I’m quite sure I could use our canned fruit as currency somewhere!) Turns out a half bushel of peaches makes an awful lot of pretty jars. ( Too bad the crappy weather makes for crappy photos – I’ll post some nummy shots when the weather turns a bit sunnier!) We canned without sugar using white grape juice instead. Traditional sliced peaches were made as well as some ginger and lemon zest peach sauce. This will no doubt bring a little summer to us when its -20 in January.
(In the meantime here’s a pretty pic of an angora rabbit from the festival. Photo courtesy of my roadie Karen)
Tomorrow I work my first shift at the Minnesota Lamb and Wool Producers booth at the state fair – no doubt some great pics will be found! Stop by Empire Commons and check out the goods! EC used to be the old Dairy building it’s the place for the yummy state fair milkshakes and Princess Kay – more on that tomorrow!

Seriously busy ’round here. With now less than a week before I have to leave to get to Rhinebeck I’m tempting fate and pushing my skills to see how many pots can be produced in our little basement studio. Every surface is covered with pottery in some form. Unfired green ware, freshly thrown, bone dry, glazed, painted- clay is quite literally taking over the studio. Caffeine seemed an appropriate picture as it’s consumtion rate has spiked in recent weeks. That and molecular models are cool. The troops have been called in and I have a support staff that is dutifully helping me make more than I ever have – ever. Yeah for friends and family!
Gee, I hope it’s enough!

No Patience for Pleasantries

Sometimes I'm just so tired of being polite. I'm an extremely informal person and when I feel myself being extra polite and keep refraining from spouting out a sarcastic comment or two, I feel like I'm slipping into this vacuous chasm and if you were to peer deep into my eyes you would see my inner self slowly dying and all you would be left with is a stale outer shell of me. I am generally a nice person and I appreciate others being nice too but I sometimes find over-sensitivity to be a fault. And over-politeness makes me ill. And you know, sometimes I just want to be snarky. Can't I be snarky? And please, PLEASE don't hold back if you have something sarcastic to say. I rejoice in others being real and relish that moment when I meet someone who catches those little nuances in the things that I say. There's an unspoken understanding that they are cool, I am cool, and that we ought to be friends. So you know, I'm not going to hold back anymore. I'm just going to say what I feel. Go ahead and take me seriously when I'm being facetious. If you think I'm a jerk, go ahead, and good day to you, sir!!

"Stale Outer Shell" could work as your band name.

How to Regrow Your Hair Naturally in Only 10 Days

If you are searching for a treatment that could give you positive results in hair regrowth, and that too within only 10 days, here are some tips for hair regrowth which can help you. Checking out these tips, you can find ways to regrow your hair and restore the strength in a natural process.

Regrow your Hair Naturally in Only 10 Days
Regrow your Hair Naturally

Massaging the scalp

Massaging the scalp is one of the best ways for treatment for hair regrowth, which helps in stimulating the hair follicles. This helps in removing the toxins and stimulating the blood circulation, which helps in enhancing the rate of hair growth during the period of hair growth cycle. You can use coconut or olive oil to gently massage the roots of the hair with your fingers. A mixture of essential oils of peppermint, rosemary and almond oil can also be effective when massaged on the scalp. Another way for massaging the scalp is to brush your hair uniformly with a soft brush, at least 50 times during the day, right from the toots to the tips.

Foods that you should eat

Fruits, vegetables and dairy products should be included in your diet plan, as they are rich in vitamins, iron, minerals, protein and Omega 3 fatty acids. Here are some of the foods that can help in hair regrowth.

  • Fish: Salmon, trout, sardines and mackerel
  • Fruits: Walnuts, pumpkin seeds and avocado
  • Vegetables: Apricot, sweet potato and broccoli

Yellow and green vegetables are also considered good for helping hair regrowth. Proper planning of daily diet can be one of the best ways on how to hair regrowth. Here are some diet tips to help you:

  • Have 10 servings of yellow or green vegetables, choosing different ones each day
  • Have 2 to 3 servings of fresh fruit, also choosing different fruits each day
  • Include 2 to 3 servings of lean meat
  • Have 4 to 5 servings of dairy products and fresh beans every day

Mix your diet with seeds, nuts, fish and eggs, and include a multivitamin to be taken along with the food. This will help in the absorption of the Omega 3 fatty acids, minerals and vitamins by the body. Other foods that you can try include oysters and spinach, as they are rich in iron.

Trimming the hair tips

Trimming the tips of the hair is one of the best hair fall control and regrowth tips, for promoting oxygenation to the hair and helping in  healthy regrowth of the hair. Another alternative to trimming is to use essential oils like olive, almond and coconut oil for massaging the tips of the hair.

Avoid smoking

Avoid smoking, as, smoke contains thousands of damaging and lethal chemicals that can cause substantial harm to the hair follicles. Smoking also prevents the normal flow of oxygen and other nutrients through the blood.

Change your lifestyle

Adjusting certain changes in your lifestyle can help in hair regrowth. Have a good sleep to balance the stress and strain which are caused due to the daily activities. Before going to bed, meditate for about 10 minutes, sitting upright with your legs crossed. Focus on your breathing and clear your mind of all thoughts to get the best result.

Alternative treatment

When things become out of control, you can choose medical treatment, that includes Rogaine and Propecia, which are drugs available across the counter. You can also try preparing homemade Rogaine, which is all natural. Check out online to know the process of how to make homemade Rogaine.

Hope these tips for hair regrowth can help you to regain that confidence with a lustrous and healthy hair, making you more beautiful.

As the anorectic effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists are partly mediated by central modulation of glutamatergic signaling, we tested the hypothesis that astrocytic GLP-1R signaling regulates energy balance in rats. Central or peripheral administration of a fluorophore-labeled GLP-1R agonist, exendin-4, localizes within astrocytes and neurons in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), a hindbrain nucleus critical for energy balance control. This effect is mediated by GLP-1R, as the uptake of systemically administered fluorophore-tagged exendin-4 was blocked by central pretreatment with the competitive GLP-1R antagonist exendin-(9{\textendash}39). Ex vivo analyses show prolonged exendin-4-induced activation (live cell calcium signaling) of NTS astrocytes and neurons; these effects are also attenuated by exendin-(9{\textendash}39), indicating mediation by the GLP-1R. In vitro analyses show that the application of GLP-1R agonists increases cAMP levels in astrocytes. Immunohistochemical analyses reveal that endogenous GLP-1 axons form close synaptic apposition with NTS astrocytes. Finally, pharmacological inhibition of NTS astrocytes attenuates the anorectic and body weight-suppressive effects of intra-NTS GLP-1R activation. Collectively, data demonstrate a role for NTS astrocytic GLP-1R signaling in energy balance control.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists reduce food intake and are approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of obesity, but the cellular mechanisms underlying the anorectic effects of GLP-1 require further investigation. Astrocytes represent a major cellular population in the CNS that regulates neurotransmission, yet the role of astrocytes in mediating energy balance is largely unstudied. The current data provide novel evidence that astrocytes within the NTS are relevant for energy balance control by GLP-1 signaling. Here, we report that GLP-1R agonists activate and internalize within NTS astrocytes, while behavioral data suggest the pharmacological relevance of NTS astrocytic GLP-1R activation for food intake and body weight. These findings support a previously unknown role for CNS astrocytes in energy balance control by GLP-1 signaling.}, issn = {0270-6474}, URL = {http://www.jneurosci.org/content/36/12/3531}, eprint = {http://www.jneurosci.org/content/36/12/3531.full.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Neuroscience} }

Morrison Heights Residence – Lower Level Renovation

Posted on December 19, 2012 in Blog

Morrison Heights Residence – Lower Level Renovation

These wonderful clients, in Oakville, are a blended family who love to entertain often. Whether watching a game or hosting formal dinner parties this layout was not working on many levels. The entire space really felt cramped yet the room itself is quite large.

Guests would end up congregating inside of the kitchen area because the traffic flow was cut off between the doorway and the table. The bar area faced the wall and ended up becoming more of a dumping zone. One set of doors was not even accessible to exit to the beautifully landscaped yard. We needed to completely redesign.

Original Family Room Layout

NEW Layout!

First things first. Starting with the idea that we would design on paper based on the ideal layout and then look at a budget. If we needed to go in stages then we would as long as the clients would finally get the full use out of this potentially fantastic room. As you can see by the layout we flipped the room and created zones.  This is the advantage of dealing with a professional interior decorator.

The television and fireplace are now located in the smaller end of the room and create a dramatic focal. There is less light and more privacy whether watching a movie or having a glass of wine by a roaring fire. The larger dining table has been repurposed to the new dining room allowing us to have a smaller everyday table located in the kitchen eating area. This also opens up the traffic flow for moving from room to room easily. The bar area is now a great focal area as well. Everyone can easily congregate at the bar and can watch television or just hang out. We took this opportunity to add a snack/drinks fridge drawer, an ice maker drawer, a wine cooler, and a second dishwasher. A mirror behind the bar area reflects natural light and the landscaped view. We even were able to create a private chaise lounge reading vignette by the back window that easily doubles as a bench when the party is in full swing on the dance floor area. The door to the patio area is now freed up and allows great access to their stunning yard.

Joe Pimentel

I was born in White Plains,  New York and at age 8 moved to Newburgh, New York where I continue to reside to this day. I have been drawing since I was 4 or 5 years old and was fascinated by comic books and cartoon animation. Both of my parents were from artistic backgrounds and gave me a basic understanding of drawing shapes and using color. I was continuously drawing throughout my childhood and into my teenage years, first copying cartoons and comics and later creating more free-form, abstract work that was influenced by Grafitti Art and Surrealism. As I advanced and learned more about other artists, I became influenced by Dondi White, Salvador Dali, Max Ernst, M.C. Esher, Picasso, H.R. Giger, and Robert Crumb to name a few. I didn't know I wanted to follow art as a career until my senior year in high school. At that time it was clear that creating art was an essential part of my everyday life and my notebooks were constantly filled with drawings. I made it a goal to attend art school after graduation to better my understanding of art and design.

In 2005, I became a Parsons School of Design graduate in Fine Art Illustration. Throughout the ten years after graduation, I freelanced for several clothing companies, worked as a Graphic Designer at a print shop and a lighting fixture company and took on various odd jobs while continuing to produce art, have shows, and explore a wide variety of mediums and subject matter. In 2010, I had an opportunity to take part in an Artist in Residency program in Bali, Indonesia for 3 months under the direction of an incredible artist, Dewa Nyoman Batuan, who specialized in Mandala paintings. The experience of Balinese culture coupled with the teachings of an artist who had truly mastered his craft, created a life changing impact on my creative process and pushed me to another level of dedication and focus with regard to making work and exploring inspiration. Once I returned, I completed an entire series of my own Mandala paintings and began to really delve into themes about higher consciousness, evolution, and expansion.

In the years that followed, I created a number of series, perpetually finding new ways to transform the recognizable into detailed, complex images that were rendered with the intention of giving insight into other imagined planes of existence. The work was attempting to convey some essence, some rooted feeling or perception of possibility, by combining the abstract with realism and adding layers of intricacy that could be interpreted in a variety of ways. This practice of transforming and pushing through into the unknown never failed to create ongoing inspiration for new works of art (something that has remained true through the present day).

 I also have an extensive experience working with children as a substitute teacher as well as a Teaching Artist for Wappingers Summer Camp, Dia:Beacon’s Art Education Program, and worked with Mill Street Loft on the Project ABLE program and Dutchess Arts Camp. I had also been part of the Artist in Residency Program for a number of elementary and middle schools where I created collaborative murals with students.  Additionally, I have begun reconnected with a variety of schools for more collaborative mural opportunities and also for residential homes.

Additional Information

CULTURE: After the last frost date plant 2" apart, 1" deep, rows 15–30" apart in any good garden soil. Upright plants are easier to cultivate. For nitrogen-fixing inoculants, which can increase yields,use those formulated for soybean crops. In extremely rich soils, plants sometimes exhibit overly lush growth, growing too tall to stand up. In this case, plants should be hilled up with soil. Soybeans can stand somewhat dry conditions, but irrigation may be necessary during drought periods.
FRESH SOYBEAN HARVEST AND COOKING: Most pods ripen at once. Clip plants near base when the beans are plump in the pods. Beans attain their highest fresh weight just as pods begin to lose their bright green color. Hand-strip remaining leaves and tie small bunches of plants for retailing. Shelling tips: strip pods, rinse, and steam or boil for about five minutes or until tender, after which the beans can be easily popped from the pods. Boil in salt water to complete cooking. Package for freezing at this point.
DRY SOYBEAN HARVEST: When at least 90% of the leaves have fallen and the pods are dry, pull the plants out by the roots. Complete drying under cover if weather is wet.
THRESHING: Depending on quantity, thresh by (1) shelling pods individually; (2) holding several plants by the roots and banging back and forth inside a barrel or trash can; (3) stepping on a large, closed bag full of dry plants; or (4) using a properly adjusted threshing machine.
STORAGE: Make sure beans are dry (max. 9% moisture) and then store in a cool place or freeze to control storage insect pests.
AVG. SEEDING RATE: 1 lb./225', 5 lb./1,000', 87 lb./acre at 8 seeds/ft. and rows 30" apart.
SEED SPECS: SEEDS/LB.: See individual varieties.
PACKET: 100 seeds, sows 11–14'.
