Armrest Pincushion with Vintage Patches

Amy FriendBasic Grey, pincushions20 Comments

I made another armrest pincushion (see here for my tutorial). They are intended to sit on the armrest of a couch or chair while you sew but my living room wasn’t bright enough to accommodate an “in action” shot so you get it here, flat.
This has to be one of the most useful pincushions ever with the deep side pockets perfect for holding small projects, scissors, embroidery floss, tape measures, you get the idea. This armrest pincushion was made for the BasicGrey booth at Quilt Market this weekend. It features their canvas vintage patches.

This set of patches happens to work so well with My Happy Place screen printed fabric! Not only are the colors right, but the “organic” bit and the apple trees just seem to suit each other. I appliqued an apple and leaf with a little button inch worm on one pocket.

The other pocket has two vintage canvas patches, a touch of embroidery, and a fussy cut row of my houses and apple trees.
The bottom is Annie’s Farm Stand Seed Catalog in red and white. The binding is DS Quilts. The natural colored fabric is a mixture of linen and osnaburg. The red solid and the green leaf are Hello Luscious.

A vacant property tax looks set to feature in the Government’s new Housing for All plan with a vacant sites tax also under consideration.

Owners of vacant homes now have to declare their unused houses to the Revenue Commissioners and explain why they are empty and this information will be needed first. There is increasing unhappiness in Government with the existing vacant sites levy which has been in place since 2019 and is collected by local authorities.

Talks are still under way between government departments on a plan which would see couples or individuals given a grant to renovate vacant properties in towns around the country.

Discussions are also under way to introduce an incentive for people who want to downsize to a smaller home which would see a halving of the stamp duty charge from 1 per cent to 0.5 per cent. The incentive is designed to make it more attractive for people living in family homes to trade down after their children have left, particularly to apartments, via a halving in the stamp duty bill on the purchase of the smaller property.

Other new measures will include a plan code-named “Project Tosaigh”. This will see the Land Development Agency play a role in activating thousands of dormant planning permissions which have not yet been activated on lands which may be privately owned. They could take a partnership role in a project or they could take them over and develop them out.

This could deliver thousands of houses in larger urban areas if the plan is successful.

The multibillion plan will aim to deliver 33,000 houses a year by 2025. The exact split between public and private, and social and affordable will be announced by the Government either next week or the week after.

Your Choice

We offer the broadest selection of sustainable packaging so you can choose the options that best address your specific sustainability challenges.

Choose Your Benefit

Every EarthChoice product provides at least one of four benefits to the environment and your business's reputation. Different municipalities require or restrict different types of products – and that’s no problem when you make the EarthChoice. You’ll find what works for your area.

Learn more about these “Four R’s”

We reduce the use of petroleum-based materials by incorporating other materials like minerals and plant-based starches into select EarthChoice products.

Minerals added to various EarthChoice products result in roughly 50% less plastic than standard PP containers. Starches are used in other applications, thus reducing plastic usage.

We design products that may be washed and reused by consumers.

For some consumers, one benefit of plastic take-out containers is the ability to reuse them. Whether used to store leftovers or contain a future home-prepared meal on the go, these EarthChoice containers are ready to be washed in the dishwasher (top rack only) and reused.

We manufacture products that include post-consumer recycled materials and actively engage in initiatives to expand recycling of foodservice packaging.

While some may think that consumers recycle to keep materials out of landfills, the real purpose of recycling is to provide a valuable feedstock and reduce our reliance on virgin resources. Incorporating recycled content into these EarthChoice products does just this.

In addition, although many EarthChoice products are designed with recycling in mind, the truth is that recycling of these products is not yet widely available to consumers. Please visit the EarthChoice[DLM1] website to learn which products may be recycled in your area and how we’re supporting the industry’s efforts to increase recycling of paper and plastic foodservice packaging.

We utilize renewable resources and actively engage in initiatives to expand composting of foodservice packaging.

A growing number of EarthChoice products are made with renewable materials like PLA (a bioplastic made from corn) and paper from trees and other fiber sources.

Given the materials used in some EarthChoice products, they may be composted, and these items meet the appropriate ASTM 6400 or 6868 compostability standards. Please note that most compostable products are designed for commercial composting facilities – not for home composting.

However, composting of these products is not yet widely available to consumers. Please visit the EarthChoice website to learn which items may be composted in your area and how we’re supporting the industry’s efforts to increase composting of compostable foodservice packaging.

Choose American Manufacturing

Thanks to our scale and USA-based operations, the EarthChoice distribution network is highly efficient. That means, in addition to sustainable products, you get a reliable supply and a lower environmental footprint from transportation.

  • Over 85% of EarthChoice products are made right here in the USA – not shipped from overseas.We strategically locate our warehouse network near our customers.
  • Our logistics program reduces empty space on trucks during shipping, resulting in 10%–15% more product shipped in the same number of trips.

For EarthChoice products, doing things the right way is a core focus, an embedded corporate value that touches every phase of our operations.

Sweet Potato and Black Bean Enchiladas

I love trying vegetarian recipes, but so often they call for things that some dinner party guests might not recognize – tempeh, or quinoa, or other plant-based protein. Tofu is pretty well known but not universally enjoyed, so when I found an enchilada recipe that mentioned both sweet potatoes and black beans on Pinterest, I thought, “that sounds hearty and recognizeable!”

I started by roasting a giant pan of sweet potatoes; I wanted to make sure no one had an under-done sweet potato in their enchilada. Then I mixed one can of black beans with chipotle chili pepper, garlic, salt, and a half cup of pepper jack cheese. In hindsight, I’d probably mix in some rice, though I think that takes the recipe more in the direction of a burrito, if I understand my burrito/taco/enchilada continuum correctly. We ended up doing rice on the side, so that was fine.

After the sweet potatoes were tender, I mixed them in with the beans and spices, and took out my store-bought enchilada sauce. I’d certainly love to try my own spice blend on some enchiladas, but this was for a party and I wanted to be sure… I recommend tomatillo and roasted garlic green enchilada sauce! I put enough sauce to wet the sides of the dish, and then began folding flour soft taco shells in half and lining the pan. Once the pan was full, I’d add some of the beans and sweet potatoes, fold up the taco shell, and flip it upside down, making sure it wouldn’t fall apart (I hoped?). It was a little messy and there’s probably a better way to do it, but if you’ve read Eating Together Isn’t Always about the Food, you know I was a little nervous at the time and was improvising.

Once those were all done, I covered them in more cheese and the rest of the sauce; I made 7 sweet potato enchiladas in my 9×13 pan. Into the 400 degree oven then went, though I turned it way down when guests arrived and I just wanted them to stay warm. The nice part was that cooking was good but not necessary for the food to be edible, so I felt confident my guests wouldn’t experience any scary food poisoning… a perpetual fear of dinner party hostesses, or maybe just me.

The result was spicy and hearty, flavorful and surprisingly healthy! It came across as a little different from normal enchiladas but not intense or fancy, which was exactly the balance I wanted to strike. 🙂

Paul Pogba Is A Different Class – Jose Mourinho

Paul Pogba

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has heaped praise on Paul Pogba after the the midfielder’s standout display on his return to action against Newcastle United.

Paul Pogba played for the first time in nine weeks following a layoff with a hamstring injury

Pogba helped United draw level after they fell behind by lofting the ball towards the back post for Anthony Martial to head home, before finishing off a fine team move at 2-1 to mark his comeback in style.

United went on to win the match 4-1, with Chris Smalling and Romelu Lukaku also netting, and Mourinho was given a further boost as Zlatan Ibrahimovic came off the bench for his first appearance in seven months.

Speaking to BT Sport at full time, the Portuguese said: “I am pleased for the three points, the quality of our performance after Newcastle’s goal, that mentality to react without panic and in a positive way, and obviously the return of injured players is always nice, especially in Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s case. His was such a dramatic injury. To see him back is a great emotion. Readmore

United launches ‘sustainable’ fuel investment scheme

United Airlines has launched “Eco-Skies Alliance”, a programme through which it will allow customers and corporate partners to invest in sustainable aviation fuels (SAF).

The Chicago-based carrier says on 13 April that 11 corporate partners support the initiative, which is central to United’s quest to become carbon neutral by 2050. Individual travellers who book United flights can also contribute by paying what the airline calls a “green premium”.

That premium – an voluntary contribution – will go towards “SAF purchase or for use on initiatives United believes will help decarbonise aviation”, chief executive Scott Kirby says.

United Airlines launches SAF investment scheme

“Instead of just directing their funds towards purchasing a number of gallons to offset their own flying… [United will] allow them to direct that money towards our research and development, investing in start-up companies that are working on innovative new technology,” he says. “There’s a long way to go to make sustainable aviation fuel viable, economically possible and scalable to the point where it can make a real difference.”

United will also help customers lobby state and federal officials on the topic of climate change policy.

“Starting immediately, United will help individuals connect with elected representatives to advocate for policies that would make air travel more sustainable for the long term. United will be the first airline in the world to connect customers directly with policy makers to voice the support that is needed to advance and accelerate permanent, scalable solutions that hold the potential to decarbonise the air transportation industry – and not just offset emissions,” the airline says.

“We know there is a growing demand from a wide range of our customers, including corporations, cargo shippers and individuals who share the same concern we do – that climate change is the most pressing issue of our generation,” Kirby adds.

Companies that have joined United’s Eco-Skies Alliance include software firm Autodesk, Boston Consulting Group, supply chain company CEVA Logistics, consultancy Deloitte, shipping companies DHL and DSV, technology company HP, Nike, software firm Palantir, Siemens and Takeda Pharmaceuticals.

Together, those partners will purchase of 12.9 million litres (3.4 million USgal) of SAF this year.

“This is enough SAF to eliminate approximately 31,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions, or enough to fly passengers over 220 million miles,” Kirby says.

Still, that amounts to just 1% of the airline’s total jet fuel use in a year.

“Our goal is to add more companies to the Eco-Skies Alliance programme, purchase more SAF and work across industries to find other innovative paths towards decarbonisation,” he adds.

SAF, which is made from renewable sources such as forest floor debris, old clothes, cooking oil or municipal garbage, can reduce life-cycle carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional jet fuel, according to IATA.  More than 40 carriers worldwide have begun using this type of fuel to help shrink their carbon footprint.

But broader use of sustainable aviation fuels remains hindered by limited supply and high cost – the fuels are two to four times more expensive than traditional jet fuel, United says.

United has in recent months thrown its support behind SAF, which it describes as crucial to actually reducing carbon output. Kirby has been critical of carbon offsets – another tool used by airlines and other companies to satisfy climate goals. He has described carbon offsets as having little real-world impact and has indicated United will likely phase out its carbon-offset programme.

“Sustainable aviation fuel, and paying that green premium associated with it, as well as investing in the next generation of decarbonisation technologies, is really a path forward that our customers can take, rather than paying for an offset that just allows us to continue status quo behaviours and technologies within aviation,” says Lauren Riley, United’s managing director for global environmental affairs and sustainability.

In the past months, United has made headlines with several sustainability initiatives to achieve its carbon-neutral goal. In December the carrier announced plans for a major investment in a direct air capture and sequestration initiative.

Then, in February, it committed to purchase 200 in-development electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft from Palo Alto-based air taxi developer Archer Aviation.

Late last month, US trade organisation Airlines for America (A4A), which represents 10 US passenger and cargo airlines, said US carriers will work with government and other stakeholders to increase SAF production, invest in electrification, revamp air traffic control, develop new airframe and propulsion technologies and support international agreements with the goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

A4A’s commitments — which it hopes to see reflected in upcoming infrastructure legislation — include a ramp-up of SAF production to make 7.6 billion litres available to US carriers by 2030. That would require a massive 84% average increase in production for each of the next 10 years.

Bleh, just found out that tank miles isn't working right either. For some reason it flips out once tank MPG != 0.00. I can't figure out how the math is done in this thing. For example, tank capacity is stored as an integer like "10500" by default, but when I throw "format()" at it, it comes out as 10.5, as it should. But values like VSS pulses/mile also come out from format() as "4.00". I can't figure out where the decimal is coming from... or going to. I created a small test function to cycle through every stored parameter during every update, and it gave me some fast-paced but useful insight, such as that I should remove the "/1000" on the tank capacity parameter. But now it explodes in my face after I try to use it.

Needless to say I'm a little confused as to how to handle variables in the MPGuino code. Any tips? :/

  3. M Prywatny says:

    Worst demo video ever!!

  4. Sylvia Bicki Needle Nirvana Studio says:

    Why does the English Muffin toasting bread recipe say to press start/stop after you take out paddle , and replace dough after the 6 beeps? No other french/italian program recipes recommend this. I’m wondering if this is a typo?

  5. Frum Reporter says:

    hi , what is the process for Bagels daw

  7. Chronic Beats says:

    Did my audio fail on this video?

  8. Lara says:

    Lousy video. Didn’t explain removing the paddle. I removed the paddle on mine at the 10 beep mark, took the paddle out of the dough and put the dough back in the pan. Pressed start button.The machine never started again. Why?

  9. Lawrence Fogel-Bublick says:

    I wanted to know when is the mix-in tone. You skipped the key step.

  10. Bozlur Rahman says:

    I love this machine. Small footprint, very light weight but makes perfect 2 lb loaf. I also made a 1 lb loaf of pumpernickel and a dozen bagels, both perfect.

  11. Andrea Grima says:

    has anyone had a problem getting the bread pan out of the machine?

  12. NumaticVacuum says:

    Why do people add the ingredients while the pan is in the machine. I don’t get it. You can spill things in the oven chamber and on the heating element.

  13. Guadalupe Diaz says:

    Did not care for this. No amounts no real instructions.

  14. Arianne Cervera says:

    Hola tengo la maquina de hacer pan wurden BM1352, no logró seleccionar tipo de pan ,peso,tiempo.

  15. Susie Baumgart says:

    Great demo. May I ask what kind of removable bread pan is of?. Is it made of stainless steel? Any help will be appreciated.

  16. Alex A. says:

    She does not want to be making this video.

  17. Terry Riordan says:

    I can not read the menu I have no idea how to set it

  18. romance698 says:

    Really this is the best bread maker in the market. Very easy to use and easy to clean. It makes perfect bread always.

  19. jaaaaannnnee says:

    WOW not only do you skip the information about adding ingredients, what the beeps mean etc, you do the demo INCORRECTLY! No mention of keeping yeast away from the wet ingredients by making a tiny well in the flour… Lame-o

  20. JSX 03 says:

    This is the laziest demonstration video I've ever seen.
    "remember when I told you I was going to do something in this video? Yeah, I did it, but I didn't record it! Isn't that great?"

  21. Angelina Carlson says:

    Have not liked this bread machine. Cinnamon rolls, breadsticks have came out bad, the recipe in the book is incorrect with measurements on the dry side. Like my old West Bend much better!

  22. fladave99 Mills says:

    Can you make hot dog buns or pretzels

  23. Jenny Bioche says:

    Does anyone know what happens if you use all purpose flour instead of bread flour. Our first loaf was an epic fail lol!

  24. Neeta Thomas says:

    useless video, no sound ??????????????????

  25. b cast says:

    Yea so adding ingredients is important, but really? That's all you're basically showing? No mention of the midway beeps and when to remove the paddle for a better looking loaf?

    Waste of time watching this 😑

  26. 771blahblah says:

    In the included recipe booklet, the challah bread recipe calls for 1 cup water for a 1 lb size. Is this incorrect? Thanks.

  27. helpfulnatural says:

    It's easier and recommended by most bread machine manufacturers to add the ingredients to the bread pan while it is out of the machine. This will reduce the risk of spilling them into the oven itself which is not only messy but will burn on the heating element and could damage it. I'm surprised that she didn't do or explain this.

  28. Melanie Vanni says:

    Would have been very beneficial to hear the beeps for the 'add ingredients' which was omitted herein.  Also, review of the time and manner in which the kneader is removed (is explained in the manual)  is what I watched this video for.

  29. Donna Broadfoot says:

    I. Need help,is there any way to reset your bread maker

  30. Master Shake says:

    Hey fix the audio Its only on the right side !!!!

the way something shiny looks under water, viewed from the shore

A continuation from last week (unpublished); always on about words, words.

Waking up from an idea or a notion of something like it was a sleep-dream; acknowledging that your perception was distorted or not informed enough, and being okay with it, it’s fine. So you adjust your perception— we do it all the time. It’s adaptation. This kind of shifting is necessary for navigating the densely populated waking world. In dreams it happens automatically. It’s what makes dreams so fluid. In a dream, perception is all there is, no other ‘realities’ against which to check it. It’s why you never feel lost unless lost is the point of the dream. Out here, the shiftings can make you feel suddenly adrift, make you question yourself. As in the Transtromer poem Vermeer, “Passing through walls hurts human beings, they get sick from it, but we have no choice.”

It’s valuable, though, to be able to see multiple sides of things; all possible outcomes, as in chess. A skill to hone not only to cultivate diplomacy, but a diminished capacity for disappointment as well. This is something one must do for oneself; no one else can do it for you.

Words are useful to create the base of a clear perception, but they are only a fraction of the whole. Actions, reactions, arcs, and patterns are all very telling. Can be minutiae. In aggregate, observations can make plain what words don’t, or can’t. And then there is the deeper layer, mostly obscured— motivations, intentions. The Why of things. They are murky and multilayered; often one’s own motivations are not even clear to oneself until seen at a distance, hindsight.

A constant stream of small revelations, the compounding of details; things created by omissions, like when the negative space in a photograph looks like an object instead of an emptiness. The walls are built of these. At some point, they reach critical mass and just like that— a wall. You pass through. You can choose to do it on the spot, or you can try to avoid it, but one way or another you’ll wind up on the other side. No good to get dragged kicking, better to run through; live deliberately.

Say some words!

Kabul airlift accelerating but still hampered by chaos

Kabul airlift accelerating but still hampered by chaos

Kabul airlift accelerating but still hampered by chaos

President Joe Biden says the “hard and painful” airlift of Americans and tens of thousands of others from Afghanistan's capital is accelerating, but he would not rule out extending it beyond the Aug. 31 deadline he set before the Taliban's swift takeover.

In remarks at the White House on Sunday, one week after the Taliban completed their victory by capturing Kabul, Biden defended his decision to end the war and insisted that getting all Americans out of the country would have been difficult in the best of circumstances. Critics have blasted Biden for a grave error in judgment by waiting too long to begin organizing an evacuation, which became captive to the fear and panic set off by the government's sudden collapse.

“The evacuation of thousands of people from Kabul is going to be hard and painful, no matter when it started, when we began,” Biden said. “It would have been true if we'd started a month ago, or a month from now. There is no way to evacuate this many people without pain and loss of heartbreaking images you see on television.”

But there were signs of progress: over 24 hours that ended early morning Monday, 28 U.S. military flights evacuated approximately 10,400 people from Kabul, according to a White House official. In addition, 61 coalition aircraft evacuated approximately 5,900 people.

Biden said military discussions are underway on potentially extending the airlift beyond his Aug. 31 deadline. “Our hope is we will not have to extend, but there are discussions,” he said, suggesting the possibility that the Taliban will be consulted.

Since Aug. 14, the U.S. has evacuated and facilitated the evacuation of approximately 37,000 people. Since the end of July, we have relocated approximately 42,000 people, the White House official said.

“We see no reason why this tempo will not be kept up,” Biden said from the White House. The U.S. military says it has the capacity to fly 5,000 to more than 9,000 people out of Kabul per day.

Biden asserted, without a full explanation, that U.S. forces have managed to improve access to the airport for Americans and others seeking to get on flights. He suggested that the perimeter had been extended, widening a “safe zone.”

“What I’m not going to do is talk about the tactical changes we’re making to make sure we maintain as much security as we can,” he said. “We have constantly, how can I say it, increased rational access to the airport, where more folk can get there more safely. It’s still a dangerous operation but I don’t want to go into the detail of how we’re doing that.”

Later Biden added: “We’ve discussed a lot with the Taliban. They’ve been cooperative in extending some of the perimeter.”

He said groups of Americans in Kabul are being moved more efficiently and safely to the airport, but he did not provide details.

“Any American who wants to get home, will get home,” he asserted.

Earlier Sunday, administration officials said the U.S. military is considering “creative ways” to get Americans and others into the Kabul airport for evacuation, and the Pentagon on Sunday ordered six U.S. commercial airlines to help move evacuees from temporary sites outside of Afghanistan.

Addressing a criticism cited by many Republicans, Biden said no Afghan evacuees are being flown directly to the United States from Afghanistan without prior screening. He said they are being screened in third countries.

Biden and his top aides have repeatedly cited their concern that extremist groups in Afghanistan will attempt to exploit the chaos around the Kabul airport.

“The threat is real, it is acute, it is persistent and something we’re focused with every tool in our arsenal," said Biden's national security adviser, Jake Sullivan.

The Biden administration has given no firm estimate of the number of Americans seeking to leave Afghanistan. Some have put the total between 10,000 and 15.000. Sullivan on Sunday put it at “several thousand.”

Speaking on ABC’s “This Week,” Austin said that as Biden’s Aug. 31 deadline for ending the evacuation operation approaches, he will recommend whether to give it more time.

Republicans in Congress stepped up their criticism of Biden's response. “If the Taliban is saying that Americans can travel safely to the airport, then there is no better way to make sure they get safely to the airport than to use our military to escort them,” GOP Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa, an Army veteran, said on ABC's “This Week.”

Ryan Crocker, who served as U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan under Presidents George W, Bush and Barack Obama, told CBS' “Face the Nation” that Biden’s management of the withdrawal was “catastrophic” and had unleashed a “global crisis.”

Vice President Kamala Harris got plenty of reminders of the Afghanistan situation during her visit to Singapore. She dismissed multiple questions over what went wrong there during a press conference in Singapore after her meeting with the nation’s prime minister.

Harris said that while there “will be and should be a robust analysis of what has happened,” the current focus “has to be on evacuating American citizens, Afghans who worked with us and vulnerable Afghans, including women and children.”

“We cannot be in any way distracted from what must be our primary mission right now, which is evacuating people from that region who deserve to be evacuated,” she said.

Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong offered support for the U.S. decision to withdraw from Afghanistan, saying the country understands the decision and that they were “grateful” for the U.S. efforts to combat terrorism in the region. He also announced that Singapore would offer use of its Air Force planes to help with the evacuation there.

A central problem in the evacuation operation is processing evacuees once they reach other countries in the region and in Europe. Those temporary waystations, including in Qatar, Bahrain and Germany, are sometimes reaching capacity, although new sites are being made available, including in Spain.

In an attempt to alleviate that, and to free up military aircraft for missions from Kabul, the Pentagon on Sunday activated the Civil Reserve Air Fleet. The Defense Department said 18 aircraft from American Airlines, Atlas Air, Delta Air Lines, Omni Air, Hawaiian Airlines and United Airlines will be directed to ferry evacuees from interim waystations. The airlines will not fly into Afghanistan. The six participating airlines have agreed to assist for a little less than two weeks, which roughly coincides with the currently planned duration of the airlift, which is to end Aug. 31.

This afternoon, fans of DJ Snake were told that something massive was on the horizon when he tweeted at Marvel, only adding a cryptic "pair of eyes" emoji. From the moment he hit "send" they braced for something big, and sure enough, he delivered.

Snake went on to announce a new collaborative track with Rick Ross and Rich Brian called "Run It," which will be featured in Marvel's upcoming film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Across his social media pages, he shared a preview of the movie that incorporates audio of the upcoming collab.

While much of the preview's audio is focused on the film, fans can hear a small portion of what's to come from the three artists. Luckily, fans and comic book aficionados won't have to wait very long, since the track officially drops tomorrow.

Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings will hit theaters on Friday, September 3rd, 2021.

Science Teacher Cover Letter Sample

This sample below helps science teacher write the best cover letter, when applying for science teacher job in school or college.

Sample Cover Letter for Science Teacher:

Dear Ms. Victoria,

During my studies, I found very intriguing and very interesting science that is why I decided to take it as a career in future years. To take advantage of the interest even further, I would like to try my luck by applying to Riverton High School that I know to be the best school in the city.

I had a lot of luck in continuing demonstration mastery of my subject area at a time while developing curricula and implementation. My pedagogical sense has always been targeted and differentiated and that is why I was very successful in imparting knowledge of a subject otherwise dry. I am certified in teaching biology and chemistry at the moment and I’m looking to qualify for the physical and what will be an asset to my resume. I have a pleasant demeanor that good when I work with an assistant professor as I am an even-tempered person.

All the foregoing and much more to add to my personal and professional conduct, I can be a great choice for this position. I would suggest that we face soon so that we can discuss how I can make matters even better in school as well as science education is concerned.

Thank you for your consideration. I will watch next week.

Arabelle’s year gets off to a unexpectedly rocky start, however, when all the roles in the play go to upperclassmen and she has to settle for prompting. To make matters worse, her guidance counselor insists that she fulfill her community service requirement by volunteering at the Heavenly Rest Nursing Home — the last place she wants to be.

But when a crisis puts the school play at risk, Arabelle realizes the true value of the friendships she’s made at Heavenly Rest, and she discovers that making a lasting impression isn’t always about being a star.

Best Graduate Paper 2019

The winner of the EISA´s Best Graduate Paper 2019 award is Dawid Walentek  for his paper "Economic Peace Revisited".

The abstract of the paper:

Scholars have argued over whether democratic peace also holds in the realm of economic sanctions – whether there is an economic peace. Substantial amounts of evidence have been gathered both for and against economic peace. However, findings have been extremely sensitive to changes in research design – new data or changes in statistical methods have led to divergent results. In this article we provide new insight, with the use of the updated TIES data set and new methodology, into the topic of economic peace. We find that democracies are more likely to issue economic sanctions, and that there is no economic peace. In fact,  emocracies are more likely to sanction one another. We indicate that lack of economic peace is consistent with the public choice approach to economic sanctions. Democratic political leaders seek to secure broad  coalition and use sanctions to address foreign policy and protectionist domestic demands.

The committee comment:

This well-rounded paper stands out for its sound and creative methodological approach and a mature research strategy. The very concept of economic peace deserves recognition against the backdrop of recent economic and trade developments at the global and regional level. The paper offers an excellent elaboration of the linkage between peace, stability, sanctions and conditionality. It asks stimulating research questions, poses well-placed hypotheses, identifies gaps in previous research and offers well-crafted research techniques, including an econometric model. The conclusions of the paper reflect appropriately the range and scope of the presented research results.

About the Best Gradaute Paper award

The Best Graduate Paper Award recognizes and supports the contribution of PhD students to the development of the field of International Relations. The paper awarded with this prize must be an original  contribution to existing debates in the field and offer a careful, convincing and rigorous analysis. The recipient will be chosen from the contributions of graduate students to the annual EWIS workshops.

Usual Electrical Work Required For a Kitchen Renovation

There’s not any denying that kitchen renovations are some of the priciest. However, if you do things correctly the first time, you won’t spend more than you must. It is important to plan things carefully and correctly using a professional, doing this will offer you with a kitchen that provides secure and proper lighting, ventilation and electrical needs.

Kitchen Electric Services

If you will be renovating your kitchen, the first thing to do is to discuss your project with a trained expert. There are standards for security and proper placement of wiring and electricity sockets and this is not something which needs to be attempted without expert electric experience. As a matter of fact, for almost any task more complicated than changing a light bulb, the law really requires an specialist handle these tasks.

The kitchen is a hazardous location. There’s moisture which could affect kitchen appliances and the sockets should be far enough away from the kitchen sink to avoid any risks of electric shock and short circuits. The exact distance depends upon the size of this sink. If your sink carries a capacity of 45 lt. the electric fittings should be no nearer than 0.4m from the top of the sink and 0.15m from the sides. Better still, you should install the fittings 1m from the top of the sink and 0.5m from the sides.

When having electrical work done it is important that it's not only done quickly but also safely to ensure the safety of your loved ones and home.

About us

The internet has brought a lot of convenience to our lives. When you want to buy something, you can do an online search to find the best option as per your needs. While this is undoubtedly useful, it also comes with a downside; every other company claims that their product is the best. They even get endorsements from celebrities about their offerings, which can cause further confusion. The consumer is left baffled and unable to make up their mind. This is where Electro Guides comes in and becomes a lifesaver.

Who Are We?

These days, there are a ton of electronic products in the market like sound-bars, projectors, etc. If you want to buy any of these products, it is apparent that you will have to do some research into finding the best options and then choose one. This requires considerable time and effort, and those who have a busy schedule are unable to put it in and may end up making the wrong decision. Electro Guides has committed itself to help people in saving their time and energy and finding the ideal product for their needs. No matter what electronic item you are looking for, we will make your shopping easier by selecting and carefully reviewing the best products in the market.

It is true that big brands have developed a positive reputation as they can offer quality products, but they also boast hefty price tags. Moreover, this in no way indicates that smaller or the ‘not so famous’ brands cannot offer you excellent products. Electro Guides does not believe in shunning any product or putting them down. Transparency is our motto, and our job is to provide you with a genuine insight into electronic items and rank them, so you know exactly what it has to offer and make your decisions accordingly.

What Do We do?

It is a given that when you study similar products, it is easy to become confused and it doesn’t take long for you to feel that you are reading gibberish. At Electro Guides, we provide you an in-depth look into the various features of a particular product in an easy-to-understand way. We also enable you to check out the pros and cons of each product so you can ascertain if it will be useful for you. There is also a complete comparison table in which similar products are compared to help you identify which product offers you value for money.

Our researchers at Electro Guides work tirelessly to gather the reviews provided by real buyers all over the internet, along with their advice and warnings. We offer our visitors unbiased reviews, and any numbers or statistics in no way influence us. Our reviews are never based on factors like the most significant number of sales, the highest grossing company or the life of the company. Even though gathering information from every corner of the web is undoubtedly tiresome, we want our readers to know every possible fact about a particular product.

Electro Guide’s team scrupulously accumulate information from reliable and trustworthy sources and also take experiences of real users into account before penning down a review. They spend at least 40 to 80 hours to ensure viewers have access to detailed descriptions of the product and its total rating.

We have also developed an intuitive system for identifying any fake or paid reviews published on the internet and do not consider any such feedback. We prefer to use reports provided by people who have used the product for a while and can also give insight into any long-term issues. Finally, after gathering all stories and information, our professional and dedicated researchers also test the products. This is to ensure that their actual features correspond to the promises made by manufacturers.

Every single product listed on Electro Guides has been personally tested by our team members to help buyers understand what they are buying. Our reviews and guides help readers in finding products that meet their requirements, in terms of features as well as budget. We hope that our reviews, comparison list, ranking and pros, and cons can assist you in your shopping so you can make informed choices about the electronics you buy.

Elements Massage Studio Opening in Woburn at Horn Pond Plaza

Dec 12, 2020

Local couple opening second Elements Massage studio in the Horn Pond Plaza on the Woburn/Winchester line on Saturday, December 12

Woburn, MA (December 12, 2020) – Elements Massage®, the nation’s leading massage brand that personalizes every massage to meet client’s needs, is opening a new studio in Woburn, MA on Saturday, December 12, 2020, with a special Founding Membership Offer. Until January 31, 2021, Clients can opt-into a one-year monthly membership for $69 per month, which is a one-time offer that is available only until January 31, 2021. The studio is independently owned and operated by Joyce and Scott Speicher, Lynnfield residents, who own two Elements Massage locations in the Greater Massachusetts Area.

Joyce is a talented entrepreneur who started Wiggles and Giggles, a pre-school enrichment program that has been instituted in pre-schools throughout the Northshore area. Due to the recent pandemic, Joyce has been unable to operate Wiggles and Giggles, and is instead supporting the opening of the Horn Pond Elements Massage studio. Scott has been working as a consultant in the information technology field for many years and is a long-time client of the massage industry. He opened his first Elements Massage studio in Saugus, MA three years ago.

“As a massage client, I was aware of the highly-rated personalized services provided at Elements Massage. As a project manager, I was looking for a franchise opportunity that had a great playbook and support from the franchisor” said Scott. “When we inquired about the Elements Massage franchise, we learned that the Support Center was looking to open a new studio in Saugus just a few miles from our home. At that point, we knew it was meant to be.”

According to the Speicher’s, what makes their Elements Massage Studios so special is their ability to consistently provide a safe experience, where clients can expect the highest quality services, and leave the studio feeling wonderful. “We have an amazing team of employees and bring a family atmosphere to our studio,” said Scott.

Additionally, as franchisees what the Speicher’s love most about the Element Massage brand, is the guidance from the Support Center. “Everyone is so accessible and willing to help in any situation,” said Scott. “The team at the Support Center is rooting for your success, and their backing contributed heavily to our Saugus studio’s early success. The Support Center team made sure we knew how everything was supposed to run before we opened, which made us feel confident that we could operate this business at the highest possible level.”

Notably, Scott and Joyce’s first Elements Massage Studio location in Saugus was awarded the Strongest Franchise Opening Award in 2018 by the Support Center.

Elements Massage provides clients with a highly customized, therapeutic massage experience through its industry-leading, proprietary membership platform, the Elements Wellness Program™. The brand employees a highly trained staff of licensed massage therapists, who are and matched with clients based on their specific needs.

You can easily ‘drag and drop’ in our planning tool to plan anything from a small bookshelf to full-scale wardrobe solution, complete with interior and sliding doors. If you are a first time user, we recommend that you read the short guide below. Otherwise, just get started planning! Remember that the prices stated in the tool are approximate. We recommend that you carefully check the pick list the tool creates, as differences compared to the storage solution drawn can occur.

Start planning

State your room measurements

You can choose to build on a standard solution or start with an empty wall. Enter your own measurement under the Room Size tab.

Add products

Click on the Add products button, and start to build. Select the product you want in the left hand column and drag it into place.

Change or remove product

To remove an item, mark it again and drag the right one across. You can also swap colours and dimensions for a product, or remove it if you change your mind.

Sliding doors

It’s so simple to add sliding doors to your solution. You can look at your solution from different angles, and even test how the doors open.

Save your solution and basket

You can save your solution and open it again later. When you are satisfied with your new wardrobe or bookshelf, you can find all the products you need in your basket.

From WeAreTheCity’s Future Leader’s Blog

Over the last two blog posts we have explored the subject of Leadership impact, how Leadership = Impact = Culture as leadership is very contagious.

If you haven’t read them, check them out before you continue reading. Thanks!

This week we want to turn our attention to Executive Presence and how it plays a part of the impact you have.

Executive presence is a combination of behaviours, skills and style, and can sometimes be described as the ability to command a room (sometimes completely without saying or doing anything). Effective executive presence can look different in different leaders. Some exude it, regardless of what position they have. So what is it? How would you describe it? And how do you get it and develop it, if it’s not already there?

Exuding Executive Presence

We were recently in a situation with 50 leaders in a room where a senior leader was joining us, whom we had not previously met. As soon as she entered the room, we could tell it was her by the way she strode in, confidently, her eyes were scanning the room, smiling, nodding and acknowledging people’s presence, indicating that she had seen them and would get to them. She moved easily to her seat and started a conversation with the people at that table; interested, engaged. The way people reacted when she arrived, confirmed who she was to us. They turned their attention towards her, almost straightening their posture in their chairs, and clearly signaling that they knew she was there. Some were even getting up and walking up to her, extending a hand, hence demanding her attention. Others sat back but their radar was still on with regards to where she was. She became the focus of attention, whether she wanted it or not.

Even if she had not had executive presence, she would have attracted their attention because of her position. There’s always positional presence, dictated by the seniority of the role, but executive presence is about more than a title and hierarchy.

We are talking here about effective executive presence, needed to build relationships and long-term success. Many of us may have experienced not so positive executive presence, where leaders have used their position of power to dominate, instill fear and influence in a manipulative and negative way. In the story above, the senior leader could have had a very different response from people if she had stormed into the room, on her phone, still talking, acting all superior and only wanting to talk to the more senior people for example. It would have made people feel unimportant, not respected and not appreciated. Back in the workplace this would lead to you not wanting to go the extra mile for that leader, so productivity would be negatively affected. There would arguably have been some kind of executive presence but not of the kind that drives trust and sustainable collaborative followership. There’s nothing endearing about dictatorial leadership.

Consider executive presence and gravitas as a key factor to use in order to influence more and more effectively, particularly if you want to influence someone more senior than you. Even if you are not an executive, executive presence is something you will need to develop and use more as you progress your career.

We have been working with and studying leaders and their impact for 22 years and have identified five areas of Executive Presence, made up by a number of behaviours that represent that presence.

The Executive Presence Sweetspot

The Executive Presence Sweetspot™

Reflect on the five behavioural areas above and how often and consistently you think you display these today and which ones you need to be more intentional about living to deepen your impact and grow as a leader. Which area(s) do you think are most important for you to develop?

The most effective leaders are able to tap into each of these behavioural areas when needed, hence creating an Executive Sweetspot in the middle, where they can have the greatest positive impact.

Executive Presence is a great career builder, if used authentically. That’s when it’s experienced as something great by others, something that creates greater collaboration, more trust, more innovative solutions and better results.

Want to know more about the behaviours that make up the behavioural clusters above? And how to develop those behaviours? Check out chapter six of our new book “The Leader’s Guide to Impact”.
