An Epic List of Hymns & Songs Written By LDS Church Leaders

An Epic List of Hymns & Songs Written By LDS Church Leaders

The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in the preface to the official hymnbook of the Church, states, “Some of the greatest sermons are preached by the singing of hymns.”

Sacred music is an integral part of Latter-day Saint worship, but did you know many of our leaders have written the text for multiple hymns and songs? Many of them are even in our hymnbooks! Here is an extensive, but not quite exhaustive list of hymns written by LDS Church leaders.

Eliza R. Snow – 2nd Relief Society General President

Eliza R. Snow has been called “Zion’s Poetess.” She published multiple volumes of poetry in her lifetime, many of which were set to music and are now in the current LDS hymnbook, including O My Father, In Our Lovely Deseret, and How Great the Wisdom and the Love. The music for the hymn O My Father was composed by, James McGranahan and is known by the tune name “My Redeemer.”

Parley P. Pratt – Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Parley P. Pratt was one of the first members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and a prolific religious writer. He wrote both fiction and non-fiction; he also helped compile a hymnal which included 40 of his own pieces. Today, seven hymns written by Pratt are in the current LDS hymnbook, including Come, O Thou King of Kings and Jesus, Once of Humble Birth.

Orson F. Whitney – Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Orson F. Whitney was an early member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and served for over 25 years before his death in 1931. His family had a long history as writers and poets; his father set the first type for Deseret News. Whitney wrote several hymns, but the most popular by far is Savior, Redeemer of My Soul.  While this hymn is in the current LDS hymnbook, it wasn’t very well-known until composer Rob Gardner wrote new music for it and included it in the movie, “17 Miracles.”

Edward Partridge – First Bishop of the Church

Edward Partridge was one of the earliest converts and served as the first Bishop in the Church. Partridge faced much persecution in his life, and was tarred and feathered by a mob in 1833. He was asked by Joseph Smith to help build Zion in Missouri, and many believe that task inspired him to write the text for Let Zion in Her Beauty Rise. The song was included in the first LDS hymnal compiled by Emma Smith.

Emmeline B. Wells – 5th Relief Society General President

Emmeline B. Wells served as the fifth Relief Society General President and is remembered for her advocacy work for women’s rights. She was the editor of the Woman’s Exponent, a Utah periodical for Mormon women, and she also compiled a volume of poetry. One of her poems is now hymn 33 in the modern LDS hymnbook, Our Mountain Home So Dear.

John A. Widtsoe – Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

John A. Widtsoe was born in Norway and immigrated to Utah with his mother and brother in the late 1880s. He served as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles until 1952 and is remembered as a noted scientist and academic. Alongside his wife, Leah Dunford, Widtsoe helped write the biography of Susa Young Gates, Dunford’s mother. Widtsoe also published multiple books expounding doctrine. He wrote the hymn How Long, O Lord Most Holy and True. It is currently hymn 126 in the current LDS hymnal.

Joseph Fielding Smith – 10th President of the Church

Joseph Fielding Smith served as the tenth President of the Church and was a prolific writer. In all, he published 25 books in his lifetime. He wrote the text for hymn 127, Does the Journey Seem Long? According to Smith, he wrote the text while on a train from Utah to Arizona.

Lee Tom Perry – General Sunday School Board & Mission President

Lee Tom Perry is the son of Elder L. Tom Perry, who served as an Apostle from 1974 until his death in 2015. Perry has served as a mission president and as a member of the Sunday School general board. He wrote the text for As Now We Take the Sacrament was put to music by Daniel Carter and the two entered it in a Church music contest. It won second place, but it wasn’t until two years later that the General Music Committee contacted Perry and Carter to tell them the hymn was being considered for the new 1985 LDS hymnal. However, they wanted new music that was easier for congregations. Carter tried six times to write a tune. On the seventh try, his mother-in-law Sylvia said, “That’s the one.” Even today, the tune name in the hymnal is called “Sylvia’s Tune.”

Bruce R. McConkie – Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Bruce R. McConkie is best remembered for his deeply doctrinal books and as the Apostle who wrote the chapter headings of the 1979-1981 editions of the Church’s standard works. He read a number of his poems in his General Conference addresses. He first read the text to I Believe in Christ in 1972 during his talk, “The Testimony of Jesus.” It was set to music and is now hymn 134 in the current LDS hymnal.

James E. Faust – Second Counselor in the First Presidency

James E. Faust served as the Second Counselor in the First Presidency from 1995 to his death in 2007. A lawyer, Faust served in the Utah House of Representatives and was appointed to numerous committees. He co-wrote the lyrics to This is the Christ along with Jan Pinborough; it is a sacred song describing the Nephites as they witness the arrival of Christ to the Americas. While not included in the hymnbook, it is a popular piece for choirs and musical numbers.

Gordon B. Hinckley – 15th President of the Church

Gordon B. Hinckley served as the fifteenth President of the Church and wrote the words for the hymn 135, My Redeemer Lives. Hinckley earned an undergraduate degree in English and also studied ancient languages, journalism, and public relations. Elder G. Homer Durham, a member of the Presidency of the First Quorum of the Seventy at the time, composed the music.

David A. Bednar – Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

David A. Bednar has served as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles since 2004. He approached famed LDS pianist Paul Cardall to help pull a song out of him. Bednar expressed he felt he had no musical talent, but he had these words “one by one” constantly going through his mind and he had written some lyrics. Together, they created the beautiful song One by One released in late 2016. Of the song, Bednar wrote:

Much of what we need to know about the character of Christ is embodied in the simple principle of “one by one.” This principle evidenced in the life of the Savior has been a focus of my study for a very long time.

Buying business leads: the pros, the cons and the best places to buy - Lead Forensics

Buying business leads: the pros, the cons and the best places to buy

We all need business leads. They fuel our sales pipeline and offer our team the opportunity to expand our client base, increase revenue and boost business growth. But sometimes the search for business leads doesn’t go quite to plan, and marketing departments generate a few less than they need. Cue the frantic scramble to organize a quick advert, the mad rush to set up another email campaign and the many hours staying late to desperately get just one more lead! Last minute lead generation isn’t ideal for anyone, there must be a better way…

This is where the solution of buying business leads comes into play, using a provider’s database to purchase leads that match your buyer criteria. This seems on the surface, like a winning situation- you meet those target numbers and your sales team have plenty to work with. This is true, but as with any marketing strategy, nothing is perfect. The process of buying leads isn’t for everyone, so let’s weigh up the pros and cons of lead purchasing and discover the best places to buy those all-important business leads.

Pros of buying business leads

It’s always good to start with the positives and buying business leads has plenty of those. Few things in marketing are easy, and often it feels like we’re constantly chasing our tails, working hard to get the results we need. Lead purchasing offers a refreshing ideal, allowing us to know there’s always a back-up plan…

  • It’s timesaving– A huge advantage of purchasing leads lies in the time your team will save. The process of reaching out to prospects, gathering data to drive campaigns and setting up multiple communications takes so much time, which many of us have in short supply. The ability to just purchase leads is so time effective- it lets your team get the results they need and still put time into discovering why things didn’t go to plan, so you can re-strategize and avoid purchasing leads next time. Buying leads shouldn’t be a regular commitment; it buys you the time to discover how best to avoid lead purchasing in the future by improving campaigns, without hindering your result in the process.
  • You get good quality leads-Another known benefit of buying business leads is their quality. As a vast number of providers offer advanced databases where it’s easy to outline specific lead criteria, such as job role, seniority or industry and only purchase leads befitting your organization and product. This means leads purchased often are good quality, thanks to the attention paid in selecting specific lead criteria. This offers your sales team a genuine chance to gain a new client; it’s as if you’ve cherry-picked the lead (which of course, you have!).
  • It’s instant– This for many, is the key reason business leads are purchased. It offers the ability to gather leads instantly– especially useful for when targets need a sudden boost. No need to sit around waiting for a campaign to take shape, or waiting to source data, buying leads lets you send them straight over to your team for instant follow-up. It’s a winning feature for many marketers, especially those heavily driven by sales success.
  • Easy to calculate ROI– Another enormous part of marketing success is receiving a great return on your investment, but this can often be difficult to calculate. When you factor in costs such as head-count, discovering true ROI is tricky. But not with bought business leads! You pay a set amount for that lead, then you try and turn it into a client. Whatever happens, it’s easy to attribute money appropriately to bought leads, and better understand if it’s worth doing again.

These are the reasons we give buying business leads a thumbs up- but that’s only one side of the coin. To truly know if this course of action is best for your business, we need to weigh up the cons too…

Cons of buying business leads

No system is ever perfect, so it makes sense that buying business leads comes with its disadvantages. Your budget is hard earned and needs to be well organized– you don’t want to take any risks, so you need to know what buying business leads could mean.

  • You risk outdated information– Some lead providers gather contact details then let them go stale in a database for 3 years before you purchase them, setting you up for failure. These leads may have changed their contact details or moved to new organizations, meaning there’s no chance they can bring you the new business win you’re hoping for. If you choose to buy business leads, you need to know the provider’s policies and how often they update their data. Lead Forensics for example, cleanse their data annually after putting it through 3 rounds of verification- so you can be sure it’s accurate!
  • Sharing leads– It’s easy to buy loads of new leads and think you’re onto a winner, but stop and ask, how many companies have these leads been sold to? Your competitors could have bought the exact same list 3 months ago and called them all dry. Therefore, you need to look out for cheap leads; if they seem too good to be true, they probably are, and will have been sold to plenty of businesses like yours already. Check carefully how your provider sells leads and who has bought before you.
  • There’s nothing personal– The risk of contacting leads you purchase as opposed to contacting leads you’ve generated is the lack of personal touch. Even if this lead fits your ideal criteria, there’s no guarantee they will become a client. There’s a high chance they’ll have no idea who you are, so your team will have to work that little bit harder to make a connection. This makes them unpredictable– you don’t even know if they need your product! This lack of connection and insight into the lead’s business has a high change of hindering your overall sales success.Top Tip: Why not combat this with Lead Forensics? The software identifies your anonymous website traffic providing vital contact details and analysis for leads who have already shown an interest in your brand! Find out more- book your free demo!
  • There’s no room for niche– If you have a specialized product serving a specific industry or are looking to purchase leads with very detailed criteria, you may struggle. Many lead providers can only offer generalized data for popular industries– the more specific your lead criteria, the harder you’ll find it to buy leads that effectively match your product and offer the chance to secure new clients. You may find a provider able to get the leads you need, but do you then compromise your position on old information or shared data?

Now you can see both the pros and cons of buying business leads, you’re in a better position to weigh up the options and decide whether this will work for you. If you’re keen to know more, then let’s discover 4 great places to buy business leads!

Places to buy business leads

There are plenty of lead providers out there, all varying in price, quality and method, but here’s a few to get you started!

  •– Owned by SalesForce, this lead provider gathers most of their lead data from global leaders Dunn & Bradstreet (D&B), and you don’t have to be a SalesForce customer to use their services. They pride themselves on their ability to offer advanced lead filters, allowing you to purchase very specific leads that finely match your business criteria. They also offer advanced integrations with CRMs, helping you keep easy track of your new lead data.
  • SalesRipe– A great solution for small businesses, SalesRipe offer a vast amount of advanced lead data including email addresses. Whilst they offer a varying amount of pricing options, helping them suit businesses of all shapes and sizes, they only guarantee a 90% data accuracy which means 1 in 10 leads could be a waste of money. It depends what you value more- price or quality.
  • LimeLeads– Another great option for budget conscious businesses, LimeLeads have pay-as-you-go plans and full packages. They also offer advanced integrations and the platform is notoriously easy to use, with detailed search functions helping you gain good quality leads for your business.
  • Lead Forensics– An advanced lead generation solution, Lead Forensics identifies the anonymous businesses visiting your website and provides contact details for key decision makers alongside a full web-journey breakdown.

Denver Health’s CEO Spreading the Word about Lean

Checking In With Denver Health CEO Patricia Gabow On A “Model” Health Care System – Kaiser Health News

Dr. Patty Gabow has been one of the leading CEO voices talking about Lean in Healthcare, as shown in the article linked above and in her June 25th testimony to Congress, she said:

As stated in the Health Care Reform Draft Proposal, costs must be reduced. This is necessary if we are to cover everyone. Costs can be reduced by getting patients to the right place, at the right time, with the right level of care, with the right provider, with the right outcomes and the right financial incentives. This is not a theoretical construct. For example, our charges per Medicaid day and per Medicaid admission are thirty-two percent below our peer Colorado metropolitan hospitals.

Waste can be removed from our health care delivery systems. Denver Health has adopted Toyota Production Systems or “LEAN” to improve quality by removing waste in all components of our health care system. We have extensively trained 170 employees, including physicians and nurses, in LEAN tools and have realized more than $25 million in financial benefit in less than three years. There are numerous ways to reduce health care costs in our health system without reducing quality. In fact, quality can be enhanced.

Better quality AND lower cost. Great news for healthcare. These improvements are real, they just aren't widespread enough yet.

A favorite expression at MIT is attributed to the author William Gibson, who said:

The future is already here – it is just unevenly distributed.

The same can be said about healthcare. Although not directly referencing Lean, the New York Times op-ed piece by Dr. Atul Gawande and Paul O'Neill (with others) makes the case that we already have high-performing hospitals – there just aren't enough of them.

Public data shows that the top performing cities are:

Asheville, N.C.; Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Everett, Wash.; La Crosse, Wis.; Portland, Me.; Richmond, Va.; Sacramento; Sayre, Pa.; Temple, Tex.; and Tallahassee, Fla.

These are hardly the big name medical center towns that tend to dominate the U.S. News rankings of who has the best reputation. Instead, look for performance. La Crosse WI is a town that John Toussaint has sung the praises of, as well.

Gawande, et. al., say:

If the rest of America could achieve the performances of regions like these, our health care cost crisis would be over. Their quality scores are well above average. Yet they spend more than $1,500 (16 percent) less per Medicare patient than the national average and have a slower real annual growth rate (3 percent versus 3.5 percent nationwide).

They add:

We must instead look at the communities that are already redesigning American health care for the better, and pursue ways for the nation to follow their lead.

Gundersen Lutheran is part of our Healthcare Value Leaders Network, a collaborative between the Lean Enterprise Institute and the ThedaCare Center for Healthcare Value. Gundersen Lutheran uses the Lean methodology and they, like the other network members, are working hard to share their practices and methods with other hospitals in and out of the network. ThedaCare has used Lean thinking to redesign their primary model (Collaborative Care) to provide better quality and lower cost.

Better healthcare futures are already out there. But we need more of it. We're hoping Denver Health and other leading healthcare organizations will be part of future networks.

p.s. Denver Health is one of many organizations listed on my “Lean Healthcare Map” that can be accessed via Feel free to help us build out this map with references to articles that document their Lean efforts (using the process I described here). You can access more success stories via the Resources area of our Healthcare Value Leaders Network site including another article about Denver Health.

    00:00 So renal functioning, what’s happening further? Well, here you have more pictures.

    00:04 And this particular picture, the kidney that you see here on your left taking that little area, and I have blown it up in this amplification here, well, let me set this up for you.

    00:16 I need you to go from top to bottom, top to bottom. The top will be the superficial, so therefore, that will be the cortex. And then the bottom that you're seeing here, what is that? That’s the medulla.

    00:28 Now, this is an entire pyramid that has been amplified, right? A pyramid. Be careful.

    00:35 A lot of words here begin with the letter P. They're all clinically relevant. Well, with the pyramid down in the medulla, you have something called the papilla. Now, around the medulla and the papilla, what are you seeing there? What's at the very bottom at that point? You call that what? The collecting duct. And then you have the minor calyx, major calyx, and you have the pelvis.

    01:00 In other words, you’re forming the ureter, aren’t you? What’s my point? Well here, let’s say that you have a patient who’s a female. She’s pregnant. Well, that’s a lot of pressure on the urinary bladder. Tell me about the urethra. To begin with, tell me about the anatomy of a female urethra, itty-bitty tiny. To begin with, it’s tiny. On top of that, she’s pregnant.

    01:23 The urethra is facing the external world like that. What is she susceptible to? In addition, let’s say that there is increased glucose in the urine, you’re making that urine mighty tasty for whom? Welcome to E. coli. Oh boy! So, what is that E. coli doing? It comes into urethra, a pregnant lady, passed the urethra, very, very quickly. So now you have a urinary tract infection.

    01:48 What is she saying? I have to go to the bathroom a lot, burning sensation perhaps, not a good thing. What about this organism, E. Coli? It’s mountain climbing up the urethra.

    02:00 Do you see that? Here comes the E. coli coming up the urethra. That's always a pleasant picture.

    02:03 Coming into urinary bladder, uh-oh. I have cystitis. Are we done? No, no, no.

    02:08 We’re going to keep climbing. Climbing where? Up the ureter, you’re going to climb up the ureter.

    02:13 What kind of infection is this now? Ascending. Are you seeing the difference between the names? Urethritis, cystitis, we’re going to move up the ureter. Keep going. Keep going. What did I hit? Now, your female patient is saying, “Ouch! I have pain in my back.” Flank is what it’s called.

    02:33 In addition, she might have a little bit of a fever and she has to go to the bathroom a lot, lots of urination. This is pyelonephritis. So, what’s my point? Well, where am I? I just ascended up my ureter. Where are you in this pyramid? Good, the medulla. I just called that what? The papillary or the papilla, so therefore, E. coli is coming up, coming up, coming up and comes up the papilla into the ureter through the calyx. Where are you? It’s called papilla necrosis, not a good thing. So, the scarring of pyelonephritis, pyramidal. What does that mean? That entire section, then you have an ascending E. coli. I just gave you the patient.

    03:13 Who is your patient? Maybe perhaps a pregnant woman putting a lot of pressure on the urinary bladder making the urethra even more welcoming to the E. coli.

    03:21 Here comes ascending infection. Up it comes, where is it going to then cause damage, up in the papilla.

    03:28 You highlight in your head ducts of the papillary surface. Let’s move on. You have a necrosis taking place. And this necrosis, up where? The papilla. What is this junction exactly? It’s called the pelvico–calyceal system. What does that mean? It means that the pelvis is then combining with your calyceal system. Where's my calyx? Major, minor calyx right there.

    03:54 So therefore, it can behave like a stone especially when there's necrosis. So some of that mass that you're going to form with the papilla, renal papillary necrosis may then behave like a renal stone.

    04:05 Have you known a patient as such? You will if you haven't already. How often is urinary tract infection? Quite often, quite often. So, you want to keep those things in mind. All we’re doing here is taking anatomy that you've seen before, a little bit of physiology, mix it up with a little bit of microbiology and you come up with pathology. So what is pathology? It’s a huge cooking class. You’re taking all these different ingredients. You’re putting it in.

    04:31 You come up with your dish. In this case, urinary tract infection. Yummy. Move on. Loss of papillae.

    04:40 What else may happen? Sickle cell disease. So, if it’s sickle cell disease, what's my issue? It’s homozygous. Tell me more. More likely in what kind of population? African, good.

    04:52 What else do you want to know? Sixth position, what happens? Glutamic acid replaced by valine.

    04:57 Good, keep going. What's sickle cell disease? Homozygous. SS, is what you have, homozygous, S and S.

    05:06 Wow! What happened? RBCs, now we're going to get sickle especially when there’s a little bit of stress.

    05:13 Then what happens? I told you earlier that if there is such a ischemia taking place, that what part of the pyramid and the nephron is susceptible to ischemia? It is your medulla.

    05:27 So here, not urinary tract infection, sickle cell disease, therefore loss of papilla.

    05:34 Also, you might find issues. Everything that we just talked about is going to come into play because when you hear the term isosthenuria, that is not a good thing. What happened? Close your eyes. Come to the glomerulus. Where are you? At Bowman's space. Tell me about osmolarity.

    05:53 300, approximately, keep it simple. What’s 300 mean to you? It’s equivalent to plasma osmolarity.

    06:01 Approximately, isotonic. Where am I? Bowman's space, continue. You're going through the PCT.

    06:08 You’re going through descending limb. What should happen normally? You’re reabsorbing what, two-thirds of your water. What's left behind in the nephron? Solute. What happens by the time you get down to the medulla, the loop of Henle? What happens there? You remove the water.

    06:28 It should become what kind of urine? Hypertonic, hypertonic, hypertonic, meaning what? Greater than 300, the urine osmolarity, maybe 600, maybe 800, maybe 900, it could potentially get them to 1200, right? What’s normal? Isotonic, 300. What if you have sickle cell disease and you lost the function of your medulla? Are you able to properly concentrate your urine? Read this. Nope. So therefore, if you're not able to properly concentrate because the medulla isn’t working properly, my urine might actually be isotonic. And down in the medulla, that is not a good thing. This is a pathology. So the fact that you have isosthenuria means that you've lost ability in the medulla to properly concentrate that urine. Does that stanza make sense to you now? How significant is isosthenuria? Quite. We’ll talk more about that later.

    07:29 The kidney is no longer able to concentrate or dilute the urine. It’s lost its function. Where? Medulla.

    07:35 Let’s move on.

A man has been given a six month prison sentence for trying to cheat in his driver theory test – but had the term suspended because his brother had been murdered by the Syrian Army.

Mufid Asaf had previously failed the test because of his poor English so he decided to try to cheat the system using a tiny Bluetooth device which would allow a co-conspirator outside the test centre to listen in and tell him the answers.

The 38-year-old hid a transmitting device in the waistband of his trousers when he went into the Leicester theory test centre in Halford Street but invigilators saw him attaching it to the headset earpiece provided to him to take the exam.

He was challenged by staff but then refused to hand over the device.

The Syrian refugee appeared before Leicester Magistrates on Wednesday to admit a charge of fraud.

Anton Balkitis, prosecuting on behalf of the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency, said 'technology assisted fraud’ was one of two ways people tried to cheat in the test - the other being candidates getting others to impersonate them in the exam.

The test centre is in the Rutland Centre in Halford Street

Mr Balkitis said the Blutooth devices used were small – about the size of a pen top – and would be hidden on the candidates – often in their underwear – along with a mobile phone which then connects to an accomplice nearby.

The court heard Asaf took the test on June 13 last year but his plan was rumbled.

After he was challenged, Asaf told officials he was desperate to pass and he was apologetic and remorseful for his actions.

Mr Balkitis said: “He was motivated by personal gain. Having passed the test he could apply for a full UK driving licence.

“The defendant did not identify his co-conspirator.”

The prosecutor explained that cheating in the test put people at risk because it was more likely that unsafe drivers ended up on the roads.

Magistrates told Asaf, of Cotley Road, Mowmacre Hill, Leicester, he had committed a very serious offence and gave him a six month prison term but they agreed to suspend it for two tears after hearing about his personal circumstances.

Michelle Harding, defending, told the court Asaf had come to the UK from Syria in 2016 as part of a UN scheme to protect refugees.

She said one of his brothers had been murdered by the Syrian Army after refusing to do military service and then two more of his brothers had been taken by the regime and their whereabouts remain unknown.

She said Mr Asaf had been threatened after asking where they were.

“He cannot go back to Syria.” she said.

Ms Harding told the court Asaf now voluntarily gave up his time to help Syrian refugees arriving every three months to settle in Leicester under council supervision.

She said his offence was not sophisticated adding: “He had failed a few times.

“He knows it was wrong. He knows it was not allowed.

“He was unaware of the ramifications.

“He was a driver in Syria.

“In the UK he wanted employment and wanted to better himself.

“He can work and felt if he passed his test he would be in a better position.

“He knows he needs to improve his English.”

As well as suspending his sentence, the magistrates ordered Asaf to complete 180 hours of unpaid work in the community as well as pay £200 in costs and a £122 victim surcharge.

Home Office Setup for Virtual Real Estate

Home Office Setup

For REALTORS® Doing Business in the New Virtual Real Estate Reality,

And any business, as we are weeks into our stay-at-home ordinance with the Coronavirus pandemic. Different levels of what "stay-at-home" means depending on your country, states, city or county guidelines, but one thing for sure, we are all having to figure this out pretty quickly!

My dining room=my office! My co-workers here have laid claim to other rooms.

From this space, I am able to abide by stay-at-home orders while still:

Working out a repair request on a listing
Meeting via zoom with a developer buyer client about a new project
Meeting with a first time buyer via zoom to chat about timing and interest rates and when we can go see a house
Delivering virtual education via zoom to @coastalcarolinasrealtors

Links to all the crap I have ordered from Amazon to make this work!
And yes, that lighting makes a *huge* difference!

Blue Yeti USB Mic: $89.90 (Amazon price 4/30) Link
Ring Light Kit 55W Bluetooth LED Ringlight Lighting with Tripod Stand: $129.00 (Amazon price 4/30)Link
Multi-Angle Laptop Stand: $54.99 (Amazon price 4/30)Link
Old Bay Pattern Coffee Cup: $19.99 (Amazon price 4/30)Link
Zoom for video with split screen, conference rooms – Link

Extra tip: If you don't want your clients or co-workers to see your home during a Zoom meeting, learn how to use the virtual backgrounds feature. Not everyone has a home office, so folks attending a video meeting might be in a bedroom, kitchen, or other space that all attendees can see when the video is enabled. Letting coworkers into your private space can be uncomfortable, which is why Zoom offers virtual backgrounds that let users easily hide what's behind them.

The Independent View: Energy Bill – time for Lib Dems to show their true colours

Our electricity system is broken – soaring fuel bills, an over-reliance on overseas fossil fuels and an urgent need to tackle climate change highlight the severe energy crisis the nation faces.

So the inclusion of an Energy Bill in this week’s Queen’s speech to overhaul the UK’s failing electricity market was long overdue.

The Bill is a once in a generation opportunity to secure our long-term opportunity to make our power system cleaner, more affordable and less reliant on increasingly imported fossil fuels.

Such a move would be popular, too. A recent YouGov poll Friends of the Earth published to mark the launch of our new clean British energy campaign revealed that 85 per cent of the public want David Cameron to force the Big Six energy firms to develop clean British energy from renewable sources – and ditch dirty coal and gas.

But with the future of the nation’s energy system standing at an important crossroads, there are worrying signs that that the Coalition Government is preparing to head off in completely the wrong direction.

Rather than developing a safe and prosperous future offered by investing in renewable energy the Government seems intent on feeding the nation’s fossil fuel addiction.

Sadly, even senior Liberal Democrats who have spoken out for a cleaner future are now proving disappointing in power.

Ed Davey appeared to offer a fresh approach when he replaced Chris Huhne as New Energy Secretary in February, telling reporters:

“We don’t want to repeat the mistakes of the past where we have polluted our planet, where our countries have been dependent on fossil fuel imports where the price is high and variable. We don’t want to be dependent on that; we want to make sure we have our own energy production that’s clean and green.”

But within weeks he fired the starting pistol for a new dash for gas that could keep the UK hooked on costly and dirty fossil fuels for decades.

His announcement that there were be no restrictions on new gas-fired power stations pumping out carbon pollution until the middle of the century will leave us trapped in the same system, dominated by the Big Six energy companies – and hostage to expensive gas.

The Government’s independent climate advisor, the Committee on Climate Change, has warned that in order to meet the UK’s legally-binding climate targets the nation’s electricity sector must be almost entirely decarbonised by 2030. Allowing more gas power stations to be built will in itself drive a coach and horses through plans to meet this commitment.

The Energy Bill will have important repercussions for generations to come – it’s crucial we get it right.

This means resisting the dangerous distractions of nuclear power and dirty new energy sources such as shale gas.

Nuclear power is a gamble we simply don’t need to take. As well as producing highly dangerous radioactive waste, it’s never on time, always over budget and relies on huge public subsidies. And even if they can find companies to build them – power firms seem deeply reluctant at the moment – a new reactor takes up to 15 years to build. Time we just don’t have.

And shale gas, releases more greenhouse gases than natural gas, would be a considerable step backwards in the quest for clean energy.

Switching to clean power from our wind, sun and seas – along with cutting energy waste – is our best hope for affordable energy in future.

Between 2000 and 2010 average gas bills increased in real terms by 78 per cent and electricity bills by 30 per cent, driven the rising costs of fossil fuels. Between 2000 and 2010 the price paid by power producers for coal increased in real terms by over 71 per cent and the price they paid for natural gas rose by 90 per cent.

The potential of clean British energy is enormous – offshore energy alone could meet our current electricity needs six times over. Around a fifth of Germany’s electricity already comes from German renewable sources – the UK manages less than half of this. Developing the UK’s clean energy potential would also create tens of thousands of much-needed jobs.

The Liberal Democrats have traditionally championed the environment and their 2010 manifesto was judged by Friends of the Earth to be the greenest of the top three parties – it’s now time for them to show their true colours.

    From David Mackay “Within British territorial waters, the shallow area is about 40 000 km2, most
    of it off the coast of England and Wales. This area is about two Waleses.
    The average power available from shallow offshore wind farms occu-
    pying the whole of this area would be 120 GW”
    So your idea that off shore wind could meet 3* our electricity needs is arguably correct. However
    DTI claims that the maximum available would be very much less.

  • jenny barnes 11th May '12 - 6:54pm

    sorry – it couldn’t meet our needs 6 times over. Current electricity capacity is around 50GW.

  • jenny barnes 11th May '12 - 6:58pm

    This is the sort of energy policy that gets Tories saying windmills are bunkum. You have to make the numbers add up
    It’s no good waving your hands, talking of energy efficiency, and rubbishing nuclear, gas & coal if your proposal doesn’t work. If we REALLY want enough renewables, we’re going to need concentrated solar in North Africa, and some long HVDC wires. Nuclear works, and generates very little carbon dioxide. Gas generates half the CO2 of coal, roughly.
    and around 12 GW of generating capacity – that’s 6 big power stations, will be decommissioned in the next few years.
    Lets keep the lights on, at least.

  • Richard Dean 11th May '12 - 7:18pm

    Why does everything has to be a crisis? “Long overdue” looks like we’ve at fault for not doing something sooner – can’t we have a more upbeat, less blame-filled message?

    Wind, sun, and sea power do not seem to be as “clean” as people seem to imagine – is there info on this somewhere? A lot of energy and material is needed to build turbines, transport them, construct their supporting structures, maintain them once built, construct the subsea power cable to deliver offshore power to the land. Has this been factored in to the calculations, bearing in mind too that carbon may not be the only bad thing?

  • Andy: If gas and coal are currently so expensive, why does wind still need govt support? Why isn’t the market just leading us to it automatically?

  • emsworthian 12th May '12 - 9:48am

    Choosing between energy sources is an immensely technical subject where a litle knowledge is a bad thing. Getting the mix right that makes energy production relatively risk free, affordable and reliable has to be the goal. The Sun is the source of all energy so we might start out with a european super grid sourced in the Sahara to generate enough power to meet our needs and leave some over for converting sea water into water for irrigating deserts.

  • Helen Dudden 1st Aug '12 - 10:59am

    I have signed up to the Energy Bill Revolution on line, over 150 MP’s have now signed, plus many charities in support. EDM 47, take a look and see what is planned.

For Men

My Partner is Pregnant

When it comes to pregnancy decisions, the choice is ultimately up to her – but you can have a big influence on her decision. We’re here to help you explore your options too.

Before you begin worrying what decision she is going to make, does she know if she is really pregnant? Home tests are not always accurate and a diagnostic ultrasound exam is the most reliable way to confirm or negate a potential pregnancy.

In the meantime, offer support by letting her know you are there for her no matter what. She needs to feel heard and respected.

Take time to find out all your options and the risks and outcomes for each. Make an appointment to receive medical and legal information about all your options.

Services for men include: pregnancy options information, parenting programs, support for new dads, and STI testing and treatment

2 PDF eBooks combined in one

DW Sutton

The Astrology Revolution

April 1924 -June 1954

The story of The Brotherhood of Light Astrological Research Department and its quest to discover the facts of astrology

The Astrology Revolution tells the extraordinary story of The Brotherhood of Light and Church of Light Astrological Research Departments and how, between June 1924 and June 1954, they changed our understanding of astrology and brought us out of the ignorance and into the light.

It introduces you to the stars of the show and provides a detailed account of the quest to discover the facts of astrology including the challenge to establish a scientifically valid research method, the role played by Brotherhood of Light teachers and members in providing birth data, the development of Astrodynes and the introduction of measurement into the research model.  More than Brotherhood of Light history this is an astrology textbook and a guide to explaining just how astrological research is conducted.

Hermetic Science:

-An Investigation to Test the Accuracy and Reliability of the Planet Prominence Rule

This highly-recommended PDF ebook by D. W Sutton is a companion book to Astrology Revolution, by the same author. It takes a fascinating look into the standard astrology “planet prominence” rule and its effectiveness when compared with using Astrodynes in determining planet prominence.

All things considered the most important matter in astrological work is the assessment of planet prominence. A planet's prominence – in any birthchart – measures its ability to impress its influence upon the life. And the most important factor in astrological research is the integrity of the research model used to determine planet prominence.

This book is a great tool for sharpening your astrological chart analysis skills. It explains the planet prominence rule, how to use it and discusses issues that commonly arise. It then explains how to determine planet prominence using Astrodynes, C. C. Zain’s great tool for numerical chart analysis.

The book analyzes 100 example charts of notable persons, comparing the results of using the traditional astrology prominence rule with results from using Astrodynes to determine planet prominence and the impact on chart analysis results.

This is a downlaodable PDF eBook.

Lightwell B2B Framework for
IBM B2B Integration

Reduce implementation time and costs
by up to 70%, gain greater control, visibility and insight
Learn how in our Lightwell B2B Framework Infographic

Why Consider a B2B Framework?

B2B integration is mission critical to your organization. That’s why you may be considering—or have already implemented—an IBM B2B Integration solution such as IBM Sterling B2B Integrator or IBM Transformation Extender (ITX).

Perhaps you are in the process of planning an implementation of IBM Sterling B2B Integrator—but you’re faced with extremely tight deadlines, overwhelmed IT resources, and a shortage of the specific skills and expertise needed to ensure success.

Maybe you’re already enjoying the extensive capabilities of the IBM B2B integration solutions, but you’re facing challenges around managing exceptions and changes—including identifying and addressing errors, adding partners and addressing their changing needs, and responding to numerous information requests from internal departments, customers and partners.

The time, effort and delays involved not only drive up costs—they lead to customer dissatisfaction, challenges competing in new markets, failure to meet regularity requirements, and costly downtime in your supply chain.

Or, perhaps you want to get more value from the data that flows through your B2B operations. Executives, business and technical managers want and need visibility into the data and trends—but with so many specific, individual requirements and preferences, it isn’t feasible to generate and distribute reports for all of them.

LightX App » Blog » Selective Editing » Selective color adjustment in LightX App with Point Tool

If you think about the most powerful functions in photo editing, they are selective color adjustment and the targeted adjustment tool. You are probably wondering about the big terms and phrases that we just mentioned. Don’t worry, we will break them down for you.
Selective color adjustment allows you to precisely focus on certain hues and make subtle or more complex changes. And the targeted adjustment tool adjusts all of those pixels that have the same tonal value anywhere in the image. You can adjust the brightness, contrast and other properties with this tool.

These tools are of really great help to the photographers and photo editors who are very precise about their editing. They help you edit your picture on the basis of color information, a very complex function to perform. It is an important function to help you achieve the perfect picture you want.

Earlier we learnt about Levels Tool and Curves Tool in LightX which help adjust the highlights, shadows and colors of the picture with great precision. Then we also learnt how to adjust brightness, contrast and exposure in LightX App. Also, we saw how to do selective editing in photos. But now we are going to learn about the Point Tool which is a combination of selective color adjustment and targeted adjustment in photo editing.

The Point Tool lets you edit different colors in your photo individually. After selecting a particular area of color, you can adjust its brightness, contrast, saturation or exposure. This tool is useful when you want to apply different types of adjustment to different colored areas.

Selective color adjustment and targeted adjustment do not actually edit absolute pure hues but go according to the color wheel. So for example, reds and oranges will be edited together. Blues and violets will go together.

How to make selective color adjustment with LightX App:

  1. Open the image in LightX or choose from a thousand of stock photos.
  2. Select ‘Point’ from the ‘Selective’ category.
  3. Now, target the color for which you want to make adjustments.
  4. You can increase or decrease the size of the lens to cover the whole image or a part of it.
  5. Once you have selected the area, adjust the brightness, contrast, exposure and saturation. You will notice that it affects the group of color with the same hues while the rest of the picture remains untouched.
  6. When you are satisfied, save the picture in the required format and dimensions.
  7. You can repeat the process until you are satisfied with the picture.

The Point Tool in LightX App combines the selective color adjustment and targeted adjustment to be able to make edits that are so precise and complex yet very important in achieving the right colors. LightX App’s selective point effect makes these functions so easy to perform.

The importance of a stand out book cover

I recently spoke with a book seller in a Dymocks store, where my own title features on the shelf.  She walked me through the store and pointed out titles she noted where the cover may be improved.  Her reason? “It would make my job easier, she disclosed.”

A book cover creates the first impression on its potential readers. Therefore, a book cover design is one of the most important aspects of marketing a book. If the cover is not designed well, you will loose sales. A successful book cover needs to make a reader 'feel' the manuscript rather than 'tell' about it.

I can’t say it any clearer:  As a publisher, I implore you to think long and hard about your book cover before you print.  I want you to think about how you can make it stand out, jump off the shelf…, how you can make it pop!

Long gone are the days when traditional designs are expected.  Book sellers as well as readers want something eye catching, new, and aesthetically beautifully executed.  Buyers want to have a book in their homes that draws attention.

So how can you begin the process of making your book stand out in the sea of illustrations, photography, and already popular titles?  In a word (repeated); EXPERIMENT, EXPERIMENT, EXPERIMENT

The style in which a book cover is designed is influenced by the continually changing design trends.

Ensure that you use the correct setting in Photoshop that reflect the colored you chose and want to see. For example CMYK vs RGB.  RGB refers to the primary colors of light, Red, Green and Blue, that are used in monitors, television screens, digital cameras and scanners. CMYK refers to the primary colors of pigment: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black.

Make sure your title is clear and easy to read. Be creative with text by overlapping and enhancing.  Free fonts are available online and can easily be added to your collection via your control panel.

If you are choosing an image of, for example; a chicken, that chicken should be the most interesting, thought provoking image imaginable. Think beyond just enhancing the chicken. How can that chicken be used to get your point/story across. How can you show the chicken to entice readers in to wanting to know more.

Keep trying new things. When you think you're done, try again.  You will know your cover is done when you get a tingly feeling in your tummy. That feeling is called fulfillment.

What is really important:

The process of creating a book cover should not only be personal, but very exciting.  It is a direct reflection of what your book is about and of who you are.  Make yourself and your story heard by making them reach for your book before anyone else’s.

The relevance of the content on the cover should reflect a part of your story.  One of the traps and limitations I have seen when authors have ideas for a cover is limiting themselves to one part of the story.  Think outside those walls and allow yourself to bring in ideas around every part of the book.  After all, every reader will draw different journeys from your story.  Their view may not be the same as yours.  Brainstorm about ideas around all aspects of the story.

Print the book out:

A cover in print can look vastly different to how you envisioned.  How you feel with the image in your hands can be a totally different and unique experience to the one you feel seeing in on the screen.

Show it off:

Show your friends.  Pin it to the wall so you can wake up to see it with fresh eyes.  Take your print to a bookstore and see how it looks against other titles. Does it stand out? Would you, yourself pick it up? Speak with the book owner and ask what they think.  After all, it is their job to sell books. They know what works and what’s trending in the current market.

They say that wearing your best clothes reflects a response from society. Imagine if your book is the outfit you will wear for the rest of your life? What do you want to be remembered for? What is your style? How will you reflect your vision?  In the world of self-publishing, creative control is firmly in your hands.  You do not have any publishing team telling you what you can and cannot do. The only limitation is yourself.

Below are some classic novels and their revised covers. These titles had literary agents. If you are self-publishing, you need a head start and a great cover can place you a few vital, steps ahead.

1984 – George Orwell

Herman Melville - Moby Dick

Vladimir Nabokov - Lolita

Lewis Carroll - Alice in Wonderland

The Trial – Franz Kafka

Hemingway - The Old Man and the Sea

Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen

Championnat de France Amateur

The Championnat de France amateur, commonly referred to as simply CFA and formerly known as National 2, is a football league competition. The league serves as the fourth division of the French football league system behind Ligue 1, Ligue 2, and the Championnat National. Contested by 72 clubs, the Championnat de France amateur operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the Championnat National and the Championnat de France amateur 2, the fifth division of French football. Seasons run from August to May, with teams in four groups playing 34 games each totalling 1360 games in the season. Most games are played on Saturdays and Sundays, with a few games played during weekday evenings. Play is regularly suspended the last weekend before Christmas for two weeks before returning in the second week of January.

The Championnat de France amateur was initially founded by the French Football Federation in 1927 and was composed of the regional amateur league champions. The league served as the first division of French football until 1929 before the league was converted to the professional league that exists today in 1932. The current incarnation of the CFA was founded in 1993 as National 2 and lasted for five years before being converted to the current format used today. Most clubs that participate in the league are amateur clubs, hence the league name, but a small amount of clubs are semi-professional. The matches in the league attract on average between 800 and 1,000 spectators per match. However, this average is dragged down by the minuscule turnouts for the pros' home reserve matches. The current champions are Colmar who accumulated 103 points in Groupe A to earn promotion to the third division. The winners of the Groupe B, Groupe C, and Groupe D were Gap, Niort, and Orléans, respectively. All three clubs, alongside the champions, earned promotion to the Championnat National.

Famous quotes containing the words france and/or amateur:

    It is not enough that France should be regarded as a country which enjoys the remains of a freedom acquired long ago. If she is still to count in the world—and if she does not intend to, she may as well perish—she must be seen by her own citizens and by all men as an ever-flowing source of liberty. There must not be a single genuine lover of freedom in the whole world who can have a valid reason for hating France.
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    The true gardener then brushes over the ground with slow and gentle hand, to liberate a space for breath round some favourite; but he is not thinking about destruction except incidentally. It is only the amateur like myself who becomes obsessed and rejoices with a sadistic pleasure in weeds that are big and bad enough to pull, and at last, almost forgetting the flowers altogether, turns into a Reformer.
    Freya Stark (1893–1993)

Max Stirner

Johann Kaspar Schmidt (October 25, 1806 – June 26, 1856), better known as Max Stirner was a German philosopher who was one of the forerunners in nihilism, existentialism, post-modernism, and anarchism, especially of individualist anarchism. Stirner's main work is The Ego and Its Own, also known as The Ego and His Own (Der Einzige und sein Eigentum in German, which translates literally as The Unique One and his Property). This work was first published in 1845 in Leipzig, and has since appeared in numerous editions and translations.

Famous quotes containing the word max:

    It must be a moment of great satisfaction in your profession when the bolt is pulled, the noose tightens and you know that your murderer is done for.

Sports Club

A sports club or sport club, sometimes athletics club or sports association is a club for the purpose of playing one or more sports. Sports clubs range from organisations whose members play together, unpaid, and may play other similar clubs on occasion, watched mostly by family and friends, to large commercial organisations with professional players which have teams which regularly compete against those of other clubs and attract sometimes very large crowds of paying spectators. Clubs may be dedicated to a single sport, or to several (multi-sport club).

The term athletics club is sometimes used for a general sports club, rather than one dedicated to athletics proper.

Famous quotes containing the words sports and/or club:

    It was so hard to pry this door open, and if I mess up I know the people behind me are going to have it that much harder. Because then there’s living proof. They can sit around and say, “See? It doesn’t work.” I don’t want to be their living proof.
    Gayle Gardner, U.S. sports reporter. As quoted in Sports Illustrated, p. 87 (June 17, 1991)

    He loved to sit silent in a corner of his club and listen to the loud chattering of politicians, and to think how they all were in his power—how he could smite the loudest of them, were it worth his while to raise his pen for such a purpose.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

GWIC-Braccini Thesis Prize for 2020

Dec 04, 2020

The Gravitational Wave International Committee and the Friends of Stefano Braccini are pleased to announce the yearly prize recognising an outstanding Ph.D. thesis in the field of gravitational waves, the GWIC-Braccini Thesis Prize. Nominations for the 2020 GWIC-Braccini Thesis Prize are now open.
PLEASE NOTE: The nomination deadline is 31 January 2021.

Members of the gravitational wave community are invited to nominate students who have performed notable research on any aspect of gravitational wave science. Theses will be judged on 1) originality and creativity of the research, 2) importance to the field of gravitational waves and gravitational wave detection, broadly interpreted, and 3) clarity of presentation. The winner will receive a certificate of recognition and a prize of US$ 1,000. We aim to award the 2020 prizes at the Amaldi conference in June 2021. The in-person meeting is planned to be held in Melbourne, Australia with support for travel (up to US$ 1,000) to receive the prize in person; if necessary, Amaldi will be a telemeeting with the award given in that medium.

Eligibility: In this cycle, the prize will be awarded on a calendar year basis for 2020. The theses should have been accepted by their institutions between 1 January 2020 and 31 December 2020. It is expected that many of the nominations will come from the member projects of GWIC, but this is not a requirement. Nominated theses may be in any language. A committee selected from the gravitational wave community will evaluate the nominations and select the winner. The selection committee will make all determinations about eligibility.

Nominations: Nominations should be submitted by 31st January 2021. The nomination package consists of (i) the thesis, (ii) a letter of nomination, preferably from the thesis advisor, and (iii) a supporting letter from another scientist familiar with the work, and iv) an 1-2 page abstract of the thesis written by the nominee. The nomination and supporting letters should describe the importance and novelty of the research and the student’s particular contribution.

Electronic submission of the thesis and letters is strongly preferred, with the thesis, abstract and the letters in separate pdf files (4 files in total). Electronic copies of the nomination materials may be sent to Martin Hewitson <>. All submissions will be acknowledged; if an acknowledgement is not received shortly after the deadline, please contact Martin Hewitson <>. Please also provide a contact email address, and current institution for the nominee in the nomination letter.

If electronic submission is impossible, please contact Martin Hewitson <martin.hewitson(AT)> for instructions concerning paper submission, or for any other concerns or queries.

Finally, we are aware that due to COVID, it is highly possible that thesis plans could be delayed, and in some cases formal extensions to thesis submissions may be in place in certain institutions. Please let us know if such delays and extensions affect any students you would otherwise nominate. Our preference at the moment is to continue with the normal schedule for the prize, but if there is significant evidence that a delay to the process would be appropriate, we will consider it.

Angel Olsen: 'I feel like I'm always building'

Angel Olsen: 'I feel like I'm always building'

credit: Cameron McCool

The singer-songwriter speaks to us about the success of fifth record All Mirrors, the nerves that come with performing and her upcoming Valentine's Day gig

The days and weeks following the release of an album are vital for any artist. For someone as uniquely intertwined with her own music as Angel Olsen, it's been a hectic, unrelenting spell, one marked by radio appearances, TV performances and a string of headline shows.

New album All Mirrors is deserving of this attention, however. A dynamic, theatrical, beautifully overwhelming experience, its author remains refreshingly distant from the acclaim lavished on her creation. 'It surprises me to know how epic it is to anyone,' she admits. 'I'm still in that creative phase. It's a little weird to see it on these End Of Year lists when it's not even been out very long. It needs to be out a little bit longer before I really feel its impact.'

Right now her focus is on those live shows – painstakingly piecing together the set, she's removed some of the lush tapestries that adorn All Mirrors while inserting fresh passages to explore different dimensions within her work. 'I think performing is so much more intimate than listening to a record,' she insists. 'I'm glad people listen to the records, but it's a challenge for me to put myself out there and sing a certain way and look them in the eye. It's a really wonderful gift, and I'm really happy that I have been able to do it for so long.'

Performing live comes with its distinct challenges, though; for such an assertive creative voice, Olsen admits to a certain degree of self-consciousness onstage. 'It's always nerve-racking playing the first few shows of a tour. And I think performing solo can still be difficult for me. But I guess that people are there to see or hear my music, so they must be fans … and that helps me relax and play the song.'

Peering through her catalogue to construct the set, Olsen is able to be the true curator of her work, linking fan favourites to deep cuts with personal resonance. 'It took quite a bit of warm-up before we went out, but now we've finally become a well-oiled machine, you could say. I'm feeling really good about the material – we've been on tour for a little bit now so it feels great!'

Each show sits on top of the last, with these experiences lifting Olsen to different space. 'I feel like I'm always building,' she says. 'I made All Mirrors and a lot of that is very different sounding, but it's challenging to mix it all up and to create something with the past and the present, and see how they work together.'

In conversation, Olsen peppers her answers with subtle asides, gentle jokes, and a side order of self-deprecating humour. She's intensely serious about her work, but often flippant about herself, and that easy-going vibe exudes from the musicians around her. 'I'm surrounded by a lot of good people, and we all joke around together. It's not a stiff environment in any way – even though the songs on this record are more theatrical and darker, we still tend to have a good time together and loosen up once we're in the middle of the set. I never take anything so seriously that you can't have a good time with people, and I think that's important.'

Angel Olsen: 'I feel like I'm always building'

Hitting Glasgow's fabled Barrowland Ballroom for a February 14 show, Olsen laughs recalling past Valentine's misadventures. 'I think I got into a fight on Valentine's Day once!' she gasps. 'I don't remember what it was about. Then my dress ripped and I got upset … but it actually ended up being a really good night. It turned itself around!'

While relishing the opportunity of spending Valentine's Day with her fans, Olsen is never certain what to expect from one of her shows. 'I feel like it's a separate realm,' she admits. 'I have to come ready to expect a small audience or a big audience, for people to care or not to care. Each show is it's own experience in that way.'

One thing is certain, however, and it's that she won't be looking back. All Mirrors is still fresh on the shelves, but this songwriter is already looking to the next challenge, to the next project. 'I did write quite a bit in the summer,' she reveals, 'before I had to start touring, so I've been taking a break recently. I never know how things are going to take shape until I'm in the studio. So we'll see.'

Ending our conversation with an ellipsis, that's how we leave Angel Olsen – on the cusp of possibility, embracing creativity, and wondering aloud about the future. All in all, it's a good place to be.

Angel Olsen plays Barrowland Ballroom, Glasgow, Fri 14 Feb.

American electro pop singer-songwriter from St. Louis tours the UK with her latest album All Mirrors. Olsen brings her biggest hits to stage including 'Lark' and 'Shut Up Kiss Me'.

How A Personality Test Brought Acceptance

I ran into some old papers last evening from a job I had over 20 years ago and included in them I found a personality test I had taken, a Myers Briggs test.  I vaguely remember taking the test back in the day and the feeling of disdain I had for being placed in a defined box.  The last sentence in the summary of the report states, “Leanne is a highly introverted individual who has mastered extrovert skills.”

My personality summary was defined as an INFJ type.

Now, I never cared about what an INFJ type was 20+ years ago, but I found another Myer Briggs test today, and I retook it.  The results have not changed, the same four letters appeared to define my personality type, INFJ.

Learning To Let Go Through The Body

To be in the moment but not of the moment. To accept my Self fully.  To embrace the physical manifestations of choice and responsibility.  To let go.  To accept the hanging on is something I am doing. To let go the gripping, holding, and stuck turns to freedom, flexibility, and malleable movement.

Acceptance, A Path To Wholeness

There is a fine line between acceptance and being involved to fix, resolve and replace.

Acceptance is just letting it be.

Fixing is seeing it and wanting or needing to do something about it – action steps to rid yourself of the experience.

Acceptance is, however, totally accepting it, period.  Accept it.  There it is.

The Power of Knowing What You DO Want?

“Ugh, I don’t want to clean the kitchen.”  “I don’t want people to think I’m stupid or lazy.”  “I know I don’t like red cars.”  “What do I want for dinner?  I know I don’t want Mexican food.”  “I don’t want this to come across wrong but…  I don’t want my boss to think I’m a doormat.”  “I know 100% I don’t want to waste my life.”  “I don’t know what I want to “do” with my life.”  “I don’t want to feel this way (frustrated, resentful, disappointed, angry, etc…)”

A mum-of-four has spent just £3 on a family food shop at Morrisons.

Rebekah Scott, from Bexleyheath, said she's managed to buy £32 worth of food for just a few pounds using a supermarket app.

The 27-year-old said the Too Good To Go app - which lets you to buy unsold food from retailers to prevent it from being thrown away - has managed to save her a fortune, even on her Christmas shop - reports Mirror Online.

In November, the app joined forces with Morrisons, allowing shoppers to pick up boxes of food that are approaching their expiry, for a reduced price.

To use it, you simply pay through the app and get given a slot before closing time to go and pick it up.

Rebekah, 27, said in the past month, she's managed to pick up two Morrisons boxes, one full of fruit and vegetables, and the other one full of Wotsits, Kinder chocolates and even a box of Raffaello.

Rebekah has bought boxes for as little as £3

She posted a photo of both boxes on the Latest Deals Facebook group, each time getting hundreds of likes and encouraging comments.

Rebekah said: "I bought the Morrisons Magic Box from an App called Too Good To Go.

"As a family of six, with four children aged three months, one, six and nine, we're always on the look out for a bargain so at £3.09 a box we gave it a go.

"Expecting the box to contain fruit and veg that was getting past its best we were a bit sceptical but when we picked up our box we were amazed at the brilliant contents, all of which was still in date and most until next year!

"We received, carrots, dates, sprouts, chestnuts, monkey nuts, cashews, sticky Deri dates, mushrooms, chocolate fruit and nut collections, chestnuts, grapes, peppers, persimmons, celery, aubergine, parsnips, bags of oranges, onions, garlic, kale, vine tomatoes, boxes of raisins, a cucumber and a punnet of cherries."

Rebekah totalled up the amount and couldn't believe how much the magic box had saved her.

She said: "This would have cost £31.93 but we only paid £3.09 for the box, making a saving of £28.84.

Rebekah has bought some bargain goods from Morrisons

"This was our second box we collected, the first being a few days earlier and which also contained a good range of products.

"We have ordered another one for collection today so fingers crossed we are lucky enough to get some good products again!"

Rebekah has managed to make 10 meals so far with plenty left over, and says she feels very lucky to have managed to get so many boxes.

She continued: "I was very amazed at how much we saved and I've made 10 meals so far with plenty remaining.

"The nut selections have all been put away for Christmas.

"Considering how popular the boxes are rapidly becoming and how few are actually available from stores I felt very lucky to have managed to get two.

"The only tip I could give would be to be very vigilant as there may only be one or two boxes available per store and they can go in less than one minute of being put up.

"I normally check in the evenings but I've heard from other people that first thing in the morning is also a good time to look!”
