The last meeting for EU Learning took place in Ruse, Bulgaria, on the banks of the
Danube River. A beautiful city where not only Neo-Baroque and Neo-Rococo
architecture can be admired in the old center but where one can take long walks in the
green parks adorned with fountains, monuments and sculptures. We met our partners
from Cyprus, Latvia, Turkey, Italy and Bulgaria in order to discuss the piloting stage of
our project.
The website is ready and during the next two weeks, internal piloting will take place, to
make sure that everything is up and running according to our objectives and ready to
be introduced to the students which will take part into the external piloting stage. The
purpose of this stage of the project is to make sure that when the courses prepared by
our team are available to everyone, they are flawless. The external piloting stage will
end during the month of March 2018.

All partners will respond to feedback accordingly
in order to improve or repair any issues that may arise during this stage and the most
exciting part of the project will then start. We will have press releases and events to
promote this beautiful sustaining educational tool which has been conceived as a free
education access to all who wish to continue growing and becoming better versions of

Diving Hook Head.

The weather was not the most pleasant when we all rolled up beside the Lighthouse on the Hook.  It was misty and grey but the wind was more in our favour as we decided that the Tower Hole was diveable.  Thankfully, just as the first group was doing its buddy check the mist lifted and the sun came out.  This lifted everyone's spirits. With a falling tide all the groups but terrific visibility  in the water all dive groups decided to demonstrate some dramatic entries for the watching crowds.

We will be going back to the Hook again shortly- easy to get to and good diving.

It's All Real

It will sound completely bonkers to say this, but have you ever come to a full realization to the realness of something when you say it out loud? Not as if it wasn't real before, but something about the verbatim have made it exist in a new form it didn't before, thus births a new meaning. When a thought becomes a sound it's put out into the world to exist forever. It will never unexist, it becomes a wave of energy that will never be destroyed, nor recreated but simply transformed from one form to another.

My story and feelings are as real as yours, and recently I've fallen out of love with mine. I spend a lot of time scouring the internet for stories of all kind and I enjoy them. I enjoy listening and feeling the things that were once only electric sparks in their mind, but became words on a paper, or letters on a blogpost and thus a movement in my life. I want to write things, and share things to become a form of energy to move you. I've run dry of my own stories. I'm eighteen years old, and have barely experienced anything worth trying to educate you about. But there are a million and one other people with other experiences that I'd like to share, and write. Take pictures and capture moments to create an energy. A forum.

It's all real. Your story is as real as mine, is as real as anyone else's. Anyone else's thoughts, feelings and experiences are as much tangible when written as anyone's is and I want to collect them. I want to collect them all and share them with you. I don't know how, when, where, or why. But I know it's something I want.

Phase one complete? Phase one complete.

  1. Lovely post. I love writing stories or feelings onto a page, making them a little more real and a little easier to analyse ;)

    The Life of Little Me

  2. You raise such an interesting issue. Are stories only real if spoken or written about? i dont know, but I would love to see a collection of stories from different people. i love gaining an insight into people's lives. it's so enriching

  3. Love this post. Would you like to follow each other on GFC?! Let me know and follow me on my blog, I will follow you right back on both GFC and Bloglovin!

  4. Great write up dear and blog!

    Check out my new post

  5. Your story is so unique, that's what gets me, that no matter how exciting or amazing others are, in their work and their lives, they can never truly be compared. We are all different.

    Don't be discouraged by your age, be excited for your stories to come, and confident in those you have to tell. You are the only one who can. x

We've been busy...

We've been enjoying the wonderful weather and the last few days as summer comes to a close. As we were gone for most of the summer, we've tried to cram a lot into the past few weeks! We've been so busy...

..... going to the park

...spending time with family

going to festivals/fares

...celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary

...going to playdates and music classes

attending orientation for  our new school, the Montessori method and our new teachers

...enjoying the last of my too-few summer runs before I have to bundle up for the fall.

not the most flattering picture, I know
...going shopping for supplies

....getting a brand new mattress since we are officially diaper free at night and have been for the last few months.

.... celebrating Anjali's birthday yet again- this time with Aunty Mala

...heading to NYC for...

My Baby Brother's Wedding!!

...followed by the amazing reception

I always feel a little sad on Labour Day as to me, it's the unofficial end of summer and the weather begins to get just a bit cooler. We just returned from NYC today and I have so many pictures to post and stories to tell but we're also so exhausted. Everyone else is asleep and I intend to turn in very soon as tomorrow is a big day with Cassia starting her new school. I intend to post way more in the next month or so than I have done in August as this fall is going to be a fun and festive one!

What Effect Could Marijuana Legalization Have on DUI Laws

Lately there’s become a true drive for Marijuana legalization around the nation. Certainly one of those difficulties which include this type of radical shift in regulations that’s rarely reviewed is what sort

affect would Marijuana legalization will happen about DUI legislation.

In case Marijuana legalization does basically acquire any severe grip within my own opinion you will find just two things which ought to get resolved in regards in Marijuana DUI instances. The very first matter is if there are no valid limitation of Marijuana, and second will the inactive and active heights of Marijuana be more criminalized.

The very first difficulty that must be ascertained is the lawful limitation is cbd vape cartridge. At the USA that there are plenty of countries which have enacted perse legislation for Marijuana DUI scenarios which that they established that the valid limitation. As an instance in Nevada and Ohio there really is certainly a two nanogram limitation. To put it differently which is the exact carbon copy of a.08 alcoholic beverages degree to alcohol associated with DUI expenses. Predicated on the investigation I’ve inked it’s exciting that Nevada’s rigorous by itself legislation resulted in an growth of Marijuana DUI arrests by 76 percent, whereas Ohio’s enactment of those laws generated a low of 4.8percent

The 2nd difficulty that must be ascertained is if the active THC along with also the in Active metabolite of both THC is going to undoubtedly be criminalized. Those countries who’ve a se DUI legislation also have established a greater degree of in Active THC metabolite, considering concern which the lengthier will be remains from the device that the impact it’s going to have on an person. As an instance equally Nevada and Ohio possess a-10 nanogram limitation of their static metabolite.

Inside my estimation if such dilemmas aren’t ascertained than this subject of legislation will probably last being somewhat cloudy when it regards DUIs. Infact if I signify some body charged using a Marijuana DUI, then it actually would seem that diverse Prosecutors appear to possess different notions regarding at exactly what position the Marijuana interrupts the patient. A toxicologist is normally utilized from the Prosecution to research in regards to the results of Marijuana within the body, in what degrees are by and large considered relies predicated on distinct research studies. On account of the ambiguities and the different scientific concepts on the market about thisparticular, commonly the protection additionally applies a specialist to cancel what the Prosecutors skilled says.

In case the legalization of Marijuana does transpire and also the 2 problems I talked would be thought than it’d cause this subject of regulation far more tangible and also will greatly help individuals comprehend the handicap than Marijuana could cause one’s capacity to surgical a motor vehicle.

Born in Iran, in 1956, Hossein’s interest in art began at an early age. His first experiments were drawing free forms and carving them on stone and metal. Combining the free style with the influence of miniature painting gained him first place in a national student art competition. The award brought him a reputation as a young and talented artist and exposed him to communities of professional artists. His endless hunger to experiment with nature and people led him to explore a wide range of styles and techniques. His techniques unbound him from drawing the details of nature, and let him treat nature with spontaneity and motions.

In his career as a professional artist, he has participated in more than 60 solo and group exhibitions and has created a rich collection of more than 2000 oil and watercolor paintings. In 2006, he was recognized as an Iranian Famous Artist and two of his works were published in The Glory of Persian Watercolor, Negar Book (in Farsi and English, ISBN 964-5520-96-7).

In 2008 Hossein immigrated to Canada, bringing with him over 45 years of artistic experience. Soon after his arrival his work was recognized by the Federation of Canadian Artists in Calgary and Four of his works won first place in FCA group exhibitions. He was selected among 100 artist to receive “Artevo Best Artist/Painting(s) Award” during the FCA’s 30 Year journey in Art Exhibition.

#TFF Review: "Wagner's Dream"

Reviewed at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival

I am not a fan of the opera. Well, correction: I’ve never been to the opera, so that’s probably unfair. Like (I believe it’s fair to say) most people of my generation, my impressions of opera are forged from its short and usually less-than-reverential appearances in other media; the idea that it’s a fundamentally silly art form for old, rich people, filled with fat ladies singing in horned helmets, grabs you at a fairly early age (never underestimate the impact of What’s Opera, Doc) and pretty much holds. Yet, even with my total disinterest in the art at its center, I found myself quite involved and invigorated by Susan Froemke’s documentary Wagner’s Dream, an up-close look at the Metropolitan Opera’s two-year quest to stage Wagner’s epic, four-part Ring cyle, a piece considered by many to be unstagable. “The quest to produce a perfect Ring,” we’re told early on, “remains opera’s greatest challenge,” and the Met’s attempt to conquer that challenge made for high drama both on and off stage.

On its surface, the film is primarily about the problems and logistics of the staging, which was devised by the French-Canadian director/designer Robert Lepage and mostly centered on an elaborate mechanized device of planks and platforms, dubbed “the machine.” The set is a technical marvel; it is also a technical nightmare. It was a set so big and unwieldy that the Met’s carpenters had to reinforce the building itself when the machine arrived from Quebec, and the tension of hoping it works (as well as the steps taken to make sure it does) provides a surprisingly effective dose of suspense in the first half of the documentary—particularly in its first rest run, as the floorboards creak loudly while the “wagon” carrying the machine crawls across the stage.

But underneath the ostensible topic of the mechanics of the show are greater concerns about the place of opera in the current cultural pantheon—particularly as voiced by the Met’s director, Peter Gelb, the process of trying to redefine and rebuild the organization. “In order for opera to move forward,” Gelb insists, “it has to be constantly renewing itself.” The purists will object (“I really don’t understand what they’re doing,” sniffs one, “but I doubt Wagner would approve”), but there are bigger, fascinating questions here about cultural adaptability and the occasional inflexibility of art.

Beyond those concerns, Wagner’s Dream is an enjoyable backstage drama, bringing to vivid life the terror of early technical tests, the thrill of the final dress rehearsal, the electricity of opening night, and the crushing agony of unexpected snags. It’s also got some great moments of behind-the-curtain comedy: a gum-chewing tech guy sitting in a throne during cue-to-cue, the flying mermaids sharing war stories. And Froemke finds an ideal focal point for the second half (Lepage is front and center in the first): boisterous and good-humored vocalist Debra Voigt, who fills the leading role of Brünnhilde and is clearly having a great time playing to the documentary cameras.

Wagner’s Dream runs a two full, tightly packed hours, and it’s a little too much of a good thing; the structure is lopsided, spending over half the running time on the first of the four productions and smashing the last three into the remainder. It’s not dull, but it is overlong, and a lot to process (some of the explanation/education of opera itself in the first hour could go). Still, it’s a fascinating picture, and there’s something to be said for a filmmaker that can wring this much tension of a topic so seemingly dull.

Selecting the most appropriate World-wide-web Host

Choosing the proper $1 hosting  can be a incredibly essential system that’s all to generally hurried by means of or; simply misunderstood.

Deciding upon a web host is in truth a person by far the most critical elements of establishing an on-line business. You will need a service that’s rapid; easy to use and realize; provides outstanding support; and is particularly serious sufficient about its functions to ensure that the web page won’t ever be down unless the entire datacenter were being completely demolished.

Underneath can be a list of by far the most frequent thoughts and answers to contemplate when looking for an online host. Comprehending the several areas of internet hosting and products and services offered can help you to generate a greater educated final decision when you do subscribe to the world wide web web hosting assistance.

What on earth is Website Hosting?

Website hosting would be the strategy of putting your internet website on a world-wide-web server or world-wide-web host, so all people linked to the net can see it. If you have a lasting link to the Online you might host your world-wide-web web site by yourself laptop or computer, but that’s usually not a good concept. An excellent web host is really a serious server in a very datacenter which has a rapidly significant bandwidth link to your World-wide-web. And, to make certain you can shift your net site to another net host, if vital, you may need a web internet hosting provider that supports domain internet hosting.

What on earth is Domain Web hosting?

Most World wide web Services Providers (or ISP) gives you a no cost net website every time they offer you entry to the world wide web. They are doing this for the reason that they don’t desire to provide you with a lasting IP tackle, which can be everything you need to have if you would like to host an internet web page yourself pc. Regretably, most ISPs never assist domain hosting with their free of charge internet web-sites. For this reason, the URL within your world wide web web page is surely an extension of the URL of the ISP. Just what exactly takes place whenever you alter ISP? You should have to change the URL and nobody can find you anymore.

The use of a website name for the net site is absolutely important for just a professional world wide web site, also to host your individual area you will have to locate a serious internet internet hosting service provider with domain hosting. Many world-wide-web internet hosting plans in fact include things like the price of a website registration, so don’t register your area in advance of you may have picked out your website internet hosting organization.

Exactly what is Digital Hosting?

Virtual hosting is commonly applied to be a synonym for shared web hosting, e.g. you host your web site on the world wide web server with many hundreds of other world wide web internet sites and also you share the IP handle with these world-wide-web internet sites.

The expression digital web hosting need to indicate, having said that, that whilst you share the web server it looks through the outside the house globe you tend to be the only website site on that server. That means that with virtual web hosting you shouldn’t only have your own IP tackle, but also a committed bandwidth into the Internet plus a dedicated slice on the personal computers processing power. So, if an internet web hosting service provider works by using the time period digital hosting, use a close search if these attributes are offered before you select on paying a quality rate above normal shared internet hosting.

What exactly is Bandwidth?

Bandwidth is often a evaluate that reflects the amount of facts is often transferred around an information communication channel.

In website web hosting options the allowed bandwidth typically indicates simply how much facts may be downloaded from the web site monthly, and as a consequence signifies the number of world-wide-web internet pages and photos your guests are allowed to down load. In the event the ordinary total of website page sights for every customer is assumed continual, the allowable bandwidth restricts how many site visitors you might be permitted to have per 30 days.

Just as significant, even so, is how briskly the communication channel among your web host and the Web is. The level of facts which can be transferred per 2nd can be called the bandwidth of this channel, which bandwidth is shared by all the website internet sites hosted by the very same company. If this bandwidth is inadequate, you’ll at times see a slow down while in the screen within your world wide web pages. In most cases, on the other hand, this type of sluggish down is much more most likely being attributable to an overload online server alone.

Using The Power Of The Handkerchief

Handkerchief Corporate Fashion

Most men’s’ clothing brands describe the handkerchief as an accessory, but it would be worth noting that this is probably one of the most powerful of accessories to use. This comes from the fact that it is possible to have a wide range of patterns and designs that would draw attention to the wearer than any other component of the dressage. It also is important to note of the variations possible in the very material with which the kerchief is made out of.

Picking out the material to suit the occasion

That the silk handkerchief is probably a good power statement is an understood thing, and it brings to focus the need to use the most creative of materials for the kerchief as the occasion would demand. Some bold color patterns are best rendered in silk, and often it is the more to suit the high-end social events that silk cravats and handkerchiefs are used.
Even though silk is not the easiest of stuff to keep clean; people still have not found an alternative to this material that could be just as effective and presentable. The care and thought are taken to keeping the silk pieces in good shape would find decent returns as time goes on by.

The practical use of cotton handkerchiefs

The beauty of cotton fabric is that it is one of the most absorbent of material to be had. It can soak up several times its weight in water or any type of liquid more or less. This is also the main reason why people prefer cotton kerchiefs when faced with a massive spill or of particularly sultry conditions to boot. Traditionally cotton hankies are seen to add a touch of class as well as bring on a practical approach to a part of the dressing.
For the very common folks, the preference to using cotton handkerchiefs are more a regular feature and never as a luxury. But it is possible to have the most absorbent of cotton kerchiefs that can be made to look attractive as well. With the modern manufacturing processes, it is possible to have cotton fabric which to sight would look no different from the more costly silk pieces.

Importance of keeping the kerchiefs clean

No matter how expensive or how tastefully done is a hankie, it is essential to have them clean at all times. Considering the nature of the piece of dressage, it is not the most comfortable affair keeping the handkerchiefs clean at all times. So the more practical step is to use more than a single piece as the occasion would demand it to be so.
It would be fair to conclude that a clean kerchief not just adds body to the person but does announce the individual’s taste loudly. Thus if the very intention is to make a rocking entry to a place, the choice of the kerchief could well decide the final outcome of the efforts. They are in effect, the shortcut to a well-groomed appearance.

The Need To Be Presentable At Work

Wearing a tie to work

There cannot be a sufficient stress laid on the need to look presentable when it comes to being at a place of work or leisure. Thus the tie can be a more accepted way of dressing for work in many establishments for the air of formality that it provides. But it helps to be flexible in the manner of dressing that often people tend to adopt at places of work to suit the requirement at best.

The formal look and atmosphere

The tie can be said to be an indispensable part of a gentleman. Thus in situations when the need to look spic and span is had, the role of the tie becomes central to the situation always. That does not mean that all work places do adopt such a code. There are some positions that simply do not fit in with the look or air that a tie provides and here is such circumstance it is more judicious to try out something less strict.
It is often the uniform of the managers to sport a tie at best. This has been an accepted practice for a long time now. With the long hours that most managers spend at meetings and at the work table it would seem the more acceptable option as well. Rarely does one see a manager of a firm standing out in the sun supervising work.
There is also an accepted practice among those in marketing to sport a tie as well on most occasions. Here the prime concern is to project an image that is at best formal so that the folks that do come in contact with such people are made to feel impressed. Since additionally the marketing folks are the ones that are in touch with different clients and suppliers that it would be a wise move to take to a very conservative look as well.

The changing perception of the tie

The modern day tie has been in a lot more applications than previously done. This has in many ways brought about a rethink in its application as well as the material it is usually made of. No longer do people use ties that are turned out in silk or a similar material. This has been a watershed of sorts that meant that the tie came to be seen in a lot more practical uses than before.
Fashion has the habit of turning accepted practices on its head and this has happened in the case of the use of the tie as well. People are seen using this very traditional of dressing items in a variety of ways than previously considered. It thus becomes more of a statement to use a tie made of leather and which is something that is very personal to the wearer.

The greater acceptability of the tie

With changes in the role of the tie, it has taken on new applications in places of work and otherwise. And the success that this clothing item has had in its longetivity has been ensured by the ability of this strip of cloth to take on new meaning and uses as well.

Manuscript Creation

The documents are written on vellum, or animal skin which has been stripped of its hair

(hairs still present at the top of the page)

and put through a series of processes to dispose of fat, smooth away blemishes, and refine to a smooth surface. The rougher, more yellow side of the sheet, which may be marked with little black specks in places where the hair follicles were if the animal was large, is the outer side of the skin, and the inner side is paler. When well prepared, vellum is easier to write on than paper.
The skins of a range of animals were used, depending on the size and quality required.: for a small fine manuscript, the fetus of a calf might be used, yielding a skin as fine as tissue paper. Pigskin was unsuitable, because the bristles had such large follicles the skin would be heavily pitted. Further information can be found here

creation.jpg - 15.2 KLarge books such as these (570 x 395 mm), which may have had upto 360 pages, or 180 sheets of vellum folded in half, must have required a whole skin from an animal the size of a young steer. The sheet of vellum would have been folded in half, with the rougher, more yellow side on the outside, the folded sheets tucked inside each other like a newspaper, and then sewn together down the central fold.

When tearing the page out of the book, the wires caused these cuts in the edge of the page.

Each group of such sheets is called a gathering. The gatherings were then stacked on top of each other, and all sewn together, using the initial stitches through the center fold of the gathering as a foundation for the second stage of sewing.

To protect the codex, as this text block of pages was first called, wooden boards were attached back and front by cords which had been integrated into the sewing structure. The cords were inserted into holes in the boards and fixed with wooden pegs, and the manuscript then had an outer protective covering, which was quite often augmented by metal studs. A medium as firm and heavy as wood was necessary to keep the vellum text block in shape, because skin flexes and shifts with changes in temperature and humidity.

The "memory" of the sheet causes moist induced wrinkles when outside a hard cover

We still call the covers of a book the boards, despite the fact that for over three centuries now cardboard has been used instead.

To create huge manuscripts such as these in this way was a big commitment on the part of a monastic community. It is most unlikely that a monastery would have sufficient resources within the community to supply the skins, so the vellum would have had to be bought in. It may have been gradually accumulated over many years.

Building a Writers Portfolio

Building a Writer's Portfolio

By Joan Whetzel

Freelance writers, new or old-hat, need writing portfolios as an addendum to their resume. The published writing samples contained in their writer's portfolios, like the artwork in the artist's portfolio, is a way of sharing their body of work with prospective employers. Having their writing clips collected in one place - a portfolio or e-portfolio - keeps their writing samples available at a moment's notice.

What to Collect

It's best to keep all writing samples old and new. However, once the writer's list of writing clips expands beyond a certain point it is no longer practical to carry them all in their portable portfolio. Older samples are best archived. When does a writer begin archiving writing clips? When is the cutoff point? That's a decision best left to each author. But keeping an index with each year's clips or samples, will help writers find older writing clips that may be appropriate for showing to future employers. (You know, that travel article you wrote 3 years ago? Your next employer is looking for evidence you've written travel articles).

For freelance writers just starting out, and who have few if any articles published, volunteer to write as many freebies as you can afford until your begin having clips with your name on them. These include local neighborhood newspapers with small budgets, favorite causes, startup magazines and e-publications, screenplays or stage play scripts for startup production companies. Even blogs can fill a writer's portfolio. It's advisable even for published writers to write freebies on occasion just to keep your name out there, especially when paid writing opportunities are on the lean side.

Anything that has your byline, a publication name, and a publication date (if possible) is fodder for the writer's portfolio. For freelancers who can write on a number of topics, or in more than one genre, can sort their portfolios by topic or genre to be used for different jobs, matching the clips to the job being applied for. Setting up your own website and/or blog site is an ideal way to showcase your web skills as well as your writing skills, and acts as a way for potential employers to locate and contact you as well as place to provide links to your writing published on other websites - all for little or no cost.

For clips published in print, keep one entire copy of the publication with your story printed in it as evidence of which edition the story was published. The publication shows the publication number, the name of the publication and the date as well as the writer's byline. For stories published on websites, print a hard copy of the article which will show the website name, the URL, the writer's name and date that it was published (in most cases). If you print it out the same day it appears on the website, the printing date appears at the bottom of the page next to the URL. Keep an index of all stories written, categorized by website, and be sure to include the URL to link to that story. You may have to go through the index occasionally to see which stories are still available online, and which ones have been deleted or archived by the website.

How to Carry Writing Clips to Jobs

Writer's Portfolio - The Paper Version: Purchase a 3-ring binder, preferable one that zips closed and has handles to carry it (check office supply stores). Insert clear plastic slip sheets meant for carrying 8.5x11 inch pages or 8x10 inch photos in a binder (also available at office supply stores).

Make 2 to 3 copies of each print or e-clip, and place them the plastic sheets. The 2 to 3 clips for story #1 go in to the first plastic slip, the copies for story #2 go in the second plastic slip, and so on. They are ready to carry with you. Save one of the plastic slips for copies of your resume and a second plastic slip for types references.

Writer's Portfolio - The Electronic Version: Scan in paper publication writers clips to your computer and store them in a folder on your hard drive and in a secondary location like a thumb drive or a CD, to be kept separate from your computer. If need be, sub-categorize them by publication, topic, or genre.

For stories published online, keep an index file by e-publisher that includes story name, month and year of publication, and URLs for each story. Also keep a copy of your story where you wrote it on your word processing program and saved to computer before copying and pasting it to the e-publisher's website. Keep these stories in folders by publisher, with sub-folders categorized by month and year of publication. Save these files to the hard drive and to the secondary source (thumb drive or CD). Make sure these files include any photos you uploaded with your stories. Keep a hardcopy of the word processing document along with the downloaded copy from the website.

Electronic Sharing of Your Writing

Since you indexed the URLs for your stories, you can copy and paste them to an e-mail body to send to potential employers. They can also be pasted to your blog or website either as links or as references that others can copy and paste into a search engine to look up. This is a way of turning your personal blog or website as an online writer's portfolio. The URLs for your e-stories can also be added to print articles, newsletters, etcetera, for readers to type into search engines.

The advantages of having an online writer's portfolio include: not having to provide paper copies, or go through the cost of mailing them and the stories in your portfolio can be viewed in their original format rather than faxes or copies. Among the disadvantages? E-published stories are ready and waiting for someone to plagiarize, which is becoming a real problem. How many times have your researched a subject online and found the same article, word-for-word, supposedly written by three different authors - or more? There's also the problem of virus's being transmitted either from an e-publisher's website or across e-mails. With this in mind, some potential clients or employers may prefer to have a paper copy of stories from your portfolio rather than an electronic one.

Producing Appropriate Clips for Job Applications

Whether online or on paper, keep your clips organized so that you can find your articles by topic, category or genre. That way you can provide copies of specific stories to match the clients' or employers' expectations and needs. Don't put all of your stories in an online portfolio. Separate the stories by genre, subject or category and linked to a button on your site. Provide readers with the only the best 2 or 3 stories under each genre, subject or category button.

Send links to your stories or e-mail attachments as self-promotion to potential new clients or employers. Try to have a variety of samples that show the different writing styles that show off your writing skills - ads, articles, newsletters, promotional material, press releases.

Periodically update both your paper and online writer's portfolios, archiving older articles and replacing it with newer material. As your writing career progresses, your portfolios will expand and your writing skills mature exponentially. Creating and updating your writer's portfolios seem like daunting tasks, but they are necessary ones. And if you make a habit of regularly updating both portfolios, you will always be ready when new clients or employers come calling and looking for new writers with current and exciting writing samples and a wealth of experience.

Noel (2Crafty Chipboard)

Dear crafty friend,

This month is my last month for the 2Crafty team. I'd like to share my first layout for this farewell month. It is called Noel.

The first piece I selected for this layout is the Holly Flourish. I think it's by far my most favorite Christmas chipboard: it's so elegant!

I decided to emboss it with a silver embossing powder, to make it pop against my red background.

I then selected the beautiful Pointed Ornament Set.

I emboss the pieces with three colors of embossing powders: red, silver and black, making sure the bottom piece was in a contrasting color from the top one. I love all the details of those chipboards.

My title piece is from the Christmas Mini Words Set 2. I embossed it again with silver embossing powder.

Products used:
Holly Flourish
Pointed Ornament Set
Christmas Mini Words Set 2

With this layout, I would like to enter the Lime Citron challenge for December. Here is the moodboard:

I was inspired by the Christmas element requirement (my ornaments), the stars that were required and by two colors from the color combo: red and black. Of course, I used three beautiful flair badges from Lime Citron.

Have a nice day.

Series returnee Graeme Smyth had the pace but it was early season standout Daniel Bray who won an all-action KZ2 class final at the third round of this year's ProKart Series at Hamilton on Sunday.141ProKartSeriesR3HamKZ2RestDanielBray-1.jpg

After missing the first round of the series and having mechanical issues at the second, Smyth had ground to make up. Make it up he did, though, qualifying quickest and setting a new KZ2 class lap record on his way to winning the first heat.

He won the second as well, bounced back to win the Pre Final after a mechanical dnf in the third heat, then led all but four laps of the Final before - literally - being pipped by fellow Aucklander Bray at the post.

The margin was less than a kart length - just 0.035 of a second - but it was more than enough for Bray, who has now won his class at all three ProKart Series rounds held so far this year and has a 20 point lead in the series points standings at the half-way point over Rangiora's Chris Cox.

"I got a better run onto the start/finish straight and crossed Graeme over as I went up the hill," he said this morning. "Normally you've got to brake for the first corner at Hamilton before the start/finish line but this time I didn't - or at least I didn't till I saw Graeme brake - and that's what made the difference.

"I still managed to pull it up in time but it was close."

With points from all races counting, Smyth's dnf (did not finish) in the third cost him two places in the round points standings with consistent Rangiora driver Chris Cox second, Gold Coast-based Jaxon Evans third, Smyth fourth and class young guns Mitch Osborne and Luke Dobbs fifth and sixth respectively.

Cox and Evans were also close in the KZ2 Final, with Evans closing down Cox's early lead but unable to find a way past - despite the gap at the finishing line being down to just 0.168 of a second!

There was a numbers boost, meanwhile, for the new KZ2 Restricted class with one of the newcomers, Aucklander Jared McKenzie, winning three of the five races - including the Final - but round victory still going to ever consistent early season pace-setter Garry Cullum, from McKenzie, Connor Adam, Gerhard Benadie, and new class lap record holder, Steve Brown.

Finally, former class champion Tom Curran from the Hawke's Bay again proved the man to beat in KZ2 Masters.14ProKartSeriesR3HamKZ2MastersTomCurran-1.jpg

Curran qualified quickest and won all five class races -  despite the best efforts of Aucklanders Mark Lane and Leo Bult who claimed the other podium positions for the round.

Fast-improving ex Stockcar ace Graeme Lambert from Mangakino, also had another impressive weekend, qualifying fourth quickest and claiming a best finish of second in the Pre-Final.

The weekend's ProKart Series round was the third of six with KartSport Bay of Plenty hosting the fifth at Fagan's Valley Raceway neat Te Puke over the June 07/08 weekend.

Impressing at the ProKart Series round in Hamilton over the weekend were Finals winners Daniel Bray (#2 KZ2) from Auckland and Tom Curran (#7 KZ2 Masters) from Hastings. Photo credit: Fast Company/Graham Hughes

Vernal Equinox and Navaratri: Spring is in the air!-by Alessandra Pecorella

In coincidence with the vernal equinox (the arrival of Spring, literally when night and day have equal length) we also have the occurrence of the Hindu festival Navaratri, literally 9 nights , celebrating Shakti in her manifestations as Durga, Lakhsmi and Saraswati.

During the calendar year Navaratri is celebrated 4 times, corresponding to the change of the seasons (equinoxes and solstices). This is a time to profoundly reconnect with the Motherly Energy of the Earth, Shakti, the power lying at the base of the spine and in the very core of the planet. It is a time for reflection, cleansing, meditating , releasing the past and planting new seeds for the future. The festival of Navaratri is closed by a tenth day of music , parades and dancing to acknowledge the victory of Maha Shatki (the divine feminine energy).

Living Practices to tangibly reconnect  this time of year. Fasting in a way that is appropriate for your system is also traditionally part of Navaratri. Kirtan for the divine mother. Chanting  18-27-54 or 108 rounds for the different aspects of the Goddess, while meditating within your heart upon :

Om Dum Durgayai Namaha,

Om Shrim Maha Lakshimaye Namaha,

Om Aim Saraswataye Namaha

Days 1-3 (Tuesday -Thursday) Purification of Inner and Outer Obstacles on the Spritual Path (Durga Shakti) Days 4-6 (Friday – Sunday) Worshiping the Healing Beauty and Abundance of Maha Lakshmi Days 7-9 (Monday-Wednesday) Awakening the Divine Wisdom and Creativity of Saraswati Ma Day 10 Victory of Shakti

Hope you can find the space and time in your Sadhana to appreciate this transition in divine tune with the Eartly energy.

Training Cups and Your Toddler's Teeth

Training Cups and Your Toddler’s Teeth
Posted on 02/28/2017

Training Cups and Your Toddler’s Teeth

Baby girl holding a sippy cup
It’s a milestone worthy of celebration: your baby is graduating from bottles! According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, your toddler should be ready to move on from the breast or bottle between 12 and 24 months.

While your child may not be ready for a regular cup right away, there are a number of training cups you can use to help them move from baby to big kid. Here are three things to consider.

What Type of Training Cup to Use

While it’s tempting to purchase a “no spill” cup, these are essentially baby bottles with a different design.  The aim is to shift from sucking to sipping.  No-spill cups have a valve that stops spills and the only way your child can drink from a no-spill cup is to suck, not sip.

To help your child learn how to sip, look for training cups with the following:
  • A cup with a snap-on or screw-on lid that has a spout, but no valve
  • Training cups with two handles
  • Training cups with weighted bases to keep them upright and to cut down on spills

What Goes In Your Child’s Cup

Know which drinks are best to give your child. Water with fluoride is the best beverage for your child’s teeth, so always offer water first. Milk is also a great option to offer during meals.

If your child does drink juice, make sure to serve the recommended, age-appropriate limits at mealtimes only and don’t let your child carry it around in a training cup throughout the day. Sugary drinks like fruit juice increase your child’s risk for cavities, especially if your child is drinking it between meals. The act of chewing during meals gets saliva flowing, which can help wash away any leftover sugar from juice or food on your child’s teeth.

Where and When Your Child Is Using Training Cups

Like any new skill your baby works on, learning how to use a regular cup will take time, practice and patience on both of your parts! To help ease them into the habit, use a training cup with water between meals or when you’re on-the-go.

Mealtimes are a good time to start working with your child on sipping from real cups. Limit spills by starting with small amounts of water or milk in cups your child can comfortably hold. Cups with two handles or small paper cups can be great starter tools.

And toddlers are called “toddlers” for a reason, so don’t let your child walk and sip at the same time to avoid a mouth injury.

Once the day is done, don’t let your child go to bed with any kind of cup unless it’s filled with water. Letting sugary drinks pool in your child’s mouth overnight can lead to cavities.
