Running Cadence
by Anne Marie

Improve Your Running Speed With This Best Kept Secret...

Running cadence. Wondering how to get faster? Anne Marie lets us in on her best kept secret: running cadence and how it can increase your running speed.

Running Cadence

Fist a little about this super runner...

Hi there! My name is Anne Marie, and I'm a SAHM of 3 ½ yr old twins. I'm also a part time ACE certified personal trainer, a USAT certified triathlon coach, and a fit model for the clothing company Athleta.

This is a different life than I had five years ago. I would have never tagged me as a runner, but I am and love it!

I Have a Running Secret...;)

Currently, I've tapped into a lil' gem that has greatly improved my running. (No, it's not keeping up with my kids, although that helps!). This secret technique has been my sole focus in my training for the past 2 months (thanks to my trainer Luc at eperformance), and I can tell you it's working. You want to know what it is? Ready...

Running Cadence:

That's it. Most runners have a stride rate of ~85 strides a minute, and that will do you well. But the big marathon winners have a rate of 110 rpm- just fyi...that's quick! So make a goal to have your strides hit somewhere between 90-95 rpm.

Here's how you do it:

On your next run focus only on your cadence. Don't worry about intervals, speed, heart rate, power, whatever. Also, don't wear your music because it'll distract you from your strides.

Just do the following:

Time yourself for 30 seconds by counting your left (or right) foot as it hits the ground as 0, then your next left footstep as 1, and so on. Multiply the final number (how many times 1 foot hits the ground in 30 sec) by 2 for your current stride rate. Then consciously think about having quicker, smaller, steps to get it up to 90. Time yourself every few minutes to see if you're increasing the rate.

I have to tell you, it feels pretty funny at first. You'll feel like you're doing something wrong, but you're not. It also takes time. It took me a good two months of focusing purely on cadence to feel more natural now at ~92-95 rpm.

And I'm seeing results. I had a PR 10k this past weekend, averaging a 7'08 min/mile and it's my 'off' season! So, I'm looking forward to adding intervals and speed work in 2010 and seeing what happens.

Now go on out and start counting! And I'd love to hear how it goes. You can stop by my blog at www.goalsfortheweek.

But Shhhh!....mums the word to the rest of the world okay? ;)

Dance as Practice

Dans som praksis

The artist-in-residence project Dans som praksis has run since 2018 and builds on the earlier project D.A.N.S. (2011-2017) with support from the Danish Arts Foundation and Dansehallerne. A group of professional dance artists visit high schools in the Sealand area. Every year around 5-12 high schools participates with students (15-19 years old). The teenagers meet at their home school dance as an art form and aesthetic expression, engage in creative choreographic processes and challenge their own dance-making and performative competencies. In order to motivate dialogue, debate and participation, the students also experience professional dance works and research methods performed by the dance artists. The students expand their own bodily intelligence and can use the experience in many other aspects of their lives and studies.

Nail HQ Base Coat and Ridge Filler Review

I often get ridges on my nails and I dont even know why. They look like harmless little dents but ever since my friend pointed out that something was wrong with my finger nails, I went to see a doc and she told me that its not a problem and on my insistence, she was fine with me taking a biotine supplement. I still get ridges, more on my toe nails now. So may be the migrated from my finger nails to my toes, haha!!
This is the first time, that I saw someone thought about this issue and it was pretty much spot on for some one like me, because I had felt insecure for years, knowing that my friend is looking at the ridges on my finger nails, every time I was talking to her.
So, Nail HQ, you get a 3 cheers from me, because you answered my insecurities. Well, I am not insecure anymore, especially ever since I 'grew up' and started blogging, but I am sure, there are so many who would want their manicure to look smoother and their nails to look more feminine...
So what does it do? Lets find out.

Its specifically formulated for weak, damaged and thin ridged nails. It promises to moisturize nails and help it become more flexible, while improving nail growth and protecting the nail enamel. For me this is a one step solution to all nail issues. I use it as a base coat and my nail polish goes on so smoothly. Knowing that it also helps with nail growth and strengthening the nail enamel is always a plus!
I always apply this before applying my nail polish, especially on my toes and it appears smoother and also lasts longer.
This can be purchased from FarleyCo using this link:

This has been formulated to provide a unique rubberized bonding to the nail enamel, and prepares the nail for ideal polish application. It protects the nail from discoloration and staining from the nail lacquer. I tested it out with the red nail polish that always stains my nails and the results were very good. It helped keep the stain away from my nails!! A great base coat indeed.
This can be purchased from FarleyCo using this link: http://www.farleyco.ca/Products/Nail_HQ_Base_Coat_for_Stain_Prevention-5060226335619.html

FarleyCo has really good quality products and I highly appreciate the product selection on their website. Some products even have a money back guarantee on them - they are that good! Nail HQ is another amazing brand available at FarleyCo and a number of other retailers across Canada. You can find out about other Nail HQ products here, that cater to different nail problems.

GUERLAIN Maxi Lash Mascara Set Review and Swatches

I got this mascara set during the Sephora VIB Sale last month and it seemed like a good deal which includes the Maxi Lash mascara and a mini eye firming cream and toner. This is my first Guerlain mascara ever and its weird because I have only ever used Guerlain's meteorites and nothing else! Some brands are perhaps not as attractive to me. Majorly because  I was rejoicing my love affair with the Dior Addict It-Lash Mascara and I still feel that is the best one I have tried so far.
Anyways, so lately I am thinking a lot about my under eye area and how I can make it look better. I am hoping to like the mini eye firming cream because the full size is quite expensive and it better deliver some results.
Guerlain's Maxi Lash Mascara looks quite old fashioned to me. It has a soft bristle brush and I used to love them but the technology in mascara formula, wands and bristles has come a long way now; this felt like a dated version that still hasn't been pulled out of market. A lot of people love the Maxi Lash Mascara and I understand that because there are good results. You have to see the swatches to find out if it truly lives up to the higher end expectations.
For swatches and a full review keep reading...

Yes. Those brows are real! Like REEAAALLL!

As you can see from the swatches above, Guerlain's Maxi Lash Mascara gave my lashes a decent amount of volume, lift and curl. It took me two to three coats to get to the this point. If you want a one coat, swipe and go type mascara than this is not it. It does need a little help form the eye lash curler and requires that you cautiously look for clumping because the formula is slightly thicker and can clump lashes if you are not paying attention. I am a busy person; I can't keep staring at my lashes for perfection. The softer bristle brush does help in separating the lashes and reaches out to smaller lashes are the ends.
What I disliked most was, that this mascara, flakes on hotter days when I am out and about. Its definitely not something I would take on a vacation trip because the flakes in my under eye area are unbearable. Honestly speaking even drugstore mascaras have improved their formulas considerably in the past 3-4 years. I cant imagine a $37 mascara from a luxury brand to be doing that. Its not waterproof and it holds up well for the first 3-4 hours but not for a full work day.
I always feel like fixing mascara is always the hardest part of fixing makeup during the day because its too tricky. A second layer can clump lashes or it could flake. And flakes are hardest to clean up because they set into the undereye concealer. Its so FRUSTRATING!
However, for the first 2-3 weeks I used this mascara on colder days in Calgary and it was good. I really liked it initially but over time as the season's changed, its not performing up to the mark. I really miss my Dior It Lash mascara and I can't wait to get it!

If you still want to try this out or the Dior It Lash, you can shop the post below:

Maruti increase car prices ahead of new WagonR launch

Maruti Suzuki India Limited, leading automakers in India have announced price hike by Rs 10,000 on select models from 10th January 2019 (today).

Even as it is a norm for automakers to hike prices at the start of the year, this hike in prices are primarily due to rising commodity prices and foreign exchange rates which the company was absorbing till date, but has now decided to pass on these costs to buyers.

It was for these similar reasons that other auto makers such as Hyundai, Tata Motors, Ford, Honda, Renault, Nissan, Toyota and BMW also hiked prices recently.

The country has also received noted a rise in exchange rate of prices of steel, aluminum and other metals while rising prices of fuel along with increase in interest rates have also left automakers with no other alternative than to increase prices of their car models in the country.

Though Maruti Suzuki has announced that the price hike will be only on certain car models, the company has not specified which car models will become more expensive following the increase in prices. The recently introduced next generation Ertiga, launched in India at Rs.7.44 lakhs could be one of the models that will see a price hike along with the new WagonR which was launched earlier this month.

The company sells a range of 15 cars right from the entry level Alto 800 to the top of the line premium crossover the S-Cross, priced between Rs.2.53 lakhs to Rs.11.45 lakhs. These cars are sold either directly through company dealerships, through Arena and NEXA dealerships. Maruti is now getting ready to launch the new generation WagonR, which the company has officially teased. It will launch on 23rd Jan.

Maruti has been posting steady sales in the past few months, as compared to the double digit the car maker was posting in the first half of 2018. With the new WagonR launch, Maruti aims to bring a boost in sales, which will help them post a 8% increase in sales for FY 2019.

Doubts About Your Studies?

  A photo of students working from above Copyright: © Martin Braun

Should I continue my studies, start a new subject, or pursue other career paths? There are different reasons why you could be having doubts about your studies. Depending on the reason, different solutions are possible and can help you reach your goals. Reflecting on how to deal with study blockades, changing your course of study, or transferring universities is not taboo at RWTH.

Team Advising for Students, offered by the Student Advice Centre, offers students different options to reflect on and face their doubts about studies.

Start of Studies: The beginning is hard.

If you are doubting your studies during your first semester, you should ask yourself if it's related to difficulties integrating and adapting. If the answer is yes, these are normal difficulties that occur when transitioning from school to university. Time and self management, study strategies with an unfamiliar large amount of material, and the performance to succeed, particularly in the initial semesters, are challenging.

In order to reflect on and tackle these difficulties to adapt, the following advising services are helpful:

Switch? I want to study a different subject.

It doesn't matter what semester you're in, if you lack motivation, aren't interested in the topic any longer, or visible performance issues arise, you should take the time to thoroughly analyze your next step. Various solutions can be considered and discussed with the help of this analysis.

The team helps you analyze the cause and re-orient yourself using the following measures:

Leave? I want to pursue other career paths.

There are many career paths open to students who may discontinue their studies. If you decide to stop studying after thorough consideration, do not view this as a step backward, but a step toward a brand new beginning. Not finishing your degree has a lot of a stigma attached to it, which could negatively affect your resume. However many employers appreciate decisions that were well thought out and are interested in applicants who intentionally made their decision.

Am I the only student doubting their study choice?

Do other students also doubt their study choice? How do they deal with these concerns? And what steps have they taken regarding this subject? In the Fuck up Stories students edition, four students tell us about how they dealt with the situation .

What does the science and academic community have to say about students doubting their study choice?

A podcast, conceived as part of the Next Career project, is aimed at all students doubting their choice of study, wanting to change their study focus, or just looking for information on the issue. The podcast deals with study doubts, changing degree programs, and dropping out. We warmly invite you to have a listen to the German podcast, you will feel relieved to hear you are certainly not alone!

In another podcast in German, advisors at the Student Advice Centre (ZSB), talk about feeling down about your studies. Again, we invite you to take a listen and, if necessary, contact the Student Counseling Team at the ZSB. It is always better to talk to someone. You are always welcome there!

A new unemployment scheme for 18-24 year olds is to be announced today - here’s how it could work

Wednesday, 8th July 2020, 11:05 am
Updated Wednesday, 8th July 2020, 11:05 am
Rishi Sunak is set to provide an economic update this Wednesday (Getty Images)

Chancellor Rishi Sunak is set to unveil new measures to offset the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the UK economy today (8 July).

At his economic update, which has been billed as “a summer statement” and “a mini-budget”, the frontbencher is expected to announce a stamp duty holiday and insulation vouchers, among other perks.

But it’s another announcement which is grabbing headlines - a rumoured £2 billion ‘kickstart scheme’ to create more jobs for young people.

Here’s everything you need to know about it.

What is the ‘kickstart scheme’?

Sunak’s statement is expected at 12:30 BST, following Boris Johnson’s weekly debate with Labour leader Keir Starmer at Prime Minister's Questions.

The new fund is reportedly designed to help people on Universal Credit aged between 16 and 24 who are at risk of long-term unemployment, and is expected to subsidise six-month work placements.

The Treasury has said the kickstart scheme would be part of a "three-point plan for jobs... to help Britain bounce back from coronavirus", with hundreds of thousands of "new, high-quality" subsidised jobs to be created.

Each “kickstarter” job will see the government cover the cost of 25 hours' work a week at the National Minimum Wage. Employers will have the option to top up those payments.

The current National Minimum Wage rates are as follows:

  • Under 18s – £4.55
  • 18 to 20-year-olds – £6.45
  • 21 to 24-year-olds – £8.20

When can I apply for the scheme?

Applications are expected to open in August, and the first jobs covered by the scheme will start in the autumn and run until December 2021.

The jobs will have the option of being extended, and the scheme will cover England, Scotland and Wales. The government said it would provide additional funding to Northern Ireland for a similar scheme.

What else is expected to be announced?

Though sweeping changes to tax and spending measures are not expected to be made during the 8 July announcement, the Chancellor is expected to unveil a £3 billion investment to help create thousands of green jobs modernising public buildings and housing to make them more energy efficient.

It’s also expected that hundreds of thousands of households will get grants of up to £5,000 to make their homes more environmentally friendly, with vouchers of up to £10,000 available to some of the poorest families.

A £30 billion ‘high street voucher’ scheme is also being touted, with vouchers worth £500 per adult and £250 per child handed out to be spent in hard-hit sectors of the economy, such as face-to-face retail, hospitality and leisure.

It’s expected to be announced that most house buyers will be exempt from paying stamp duty for six months, as the Government attempts to restart the housing market.

Traineeships could also become more common in the wake of massive coronavirus-triggered redundancies, with the mini-Budget expected to contain news on a £100 million government investment. Businesses offering new traineeships in England could receive a £1,000 bonus per trainee.

Universal Credit should also be boosted by £10 billion to support low-income families, according to a report by The Resolution Foundation think-tank.

James Smith, research director of Resolution Foundation, said, “The measures the Chancellor announces in his mini-Budget tomorrow need to be big enough to reflect the size of the crisis we face, targeted at the sectors that need the most support, and flexible enough to cope with the uncertainties that lie ahead.

“With interest rates already at record lows, the Chancellor will need to take the lead in delivering an ambitious policy response to secure Britain’s economic recovery.”

Earth represents a remarkable experiment where genetic material from thousands of worlds was deposited. Along with this genetic material, all of the emotional coding and experiences of these planets and species was left, laying the ground for "The Grand Experiment". There are other timelines in which this experiment is not succeeding. But you, the version with which we are having this conversation, are successful and, hence, you are going through the ascension process.

The information that is shared in this book is what we consider the most appropriate vibrational match for where you are right now. When we give information, we always look at the vibrational level of the majority of whom we think will be reading this. We do this to give you a version of the truth that will best serve you in accessing your highest potential.

We are truly excited for you as you embark on this journey. This window in time is rife with amazing potential that is only limited by your imagination. The greatest challenge for you will be to release the constraints of your past beliefs and judgments and know that all things are possible. That is what ascension is all about.

Despite negative aspects, games or manipulation, when you recognize that you are a creator being, you can change your version of reality. And when enough of you decide that you want a different version of reality, then a brand new timeline is created, followed by a change in current events, all leading to a brand new world.

So, there is only one thing left to do: dream your most beautiful dream!

Warranty Information
Neither the voice nor the man can be explained in one paragraph or in any combination of words. He is essence of, manifestation of, emanation of . . . and his vitality, his magic and his integrity cannot be articulated in electronic swipes of ink on a papyrus of light particles captured on a computer screen. So we invite you to feel his work through what you sense reading these words and listening to the sound bites, which can no more adequately capture his voice than words can portray the man.

Tom’s life studies and many lifetimes of remembrances, complete with background knowledge and experience allow him to move with equal facility between Tibetan Buddhism, Egyptian High Alchemy, Taoism and Hinduism and the sciences relative to each. A workshop or teaching experience with him leaves you empowered with a vast body of knowledge suffused with tones that awaken all the physical centers, thus allowing for greater understanding of the words and Spirit imparted.

Tom Kenyon
Tom teaches in Intensive formats throughout the world. Because of his immense field of personal knowledge — from the sciences to spirituality — each Intensive is imbued with knowledge relative to the subject matter and overlaid with the sacred sounds he creates. In other words, if you don’t fully get the transmission from the words, you can’t escape the truth of it when the sounds are projected from his voice toward you.

Each Intensive has a particular Intention or theme. Some come from Tibetan energy practices, some evolve out of Tom weaving many modalities into a more Western approach to esoterica. No two Intensives are ever the same as they combine information drawn out by the consciousness of the group and tones, specific mantras and tone meditations, brought through specifically for the group present. If you are drawn to be present, that is because your consciousness in the room affects the presentation and your body can literally feel the potential benefit.

How it Works

Acupuncture is a powerful aspect of Traditional Chinese Medicine that has been helping people heal for over 3000 years. The Eastern theory behind Chinese Medicine states that all pain and disease come from an imbalance in the organ systems, or a blockage in the flow of energy in the body. Acupuncture is able to bring balance, and release blockages by stimulating specific points that are spread like a network throughout the body. Points are chosen based on their effect on the root cause of a problem, not just the resulting symptoms. In this way many different symptoms may be addressed at the same time, and the physical, emotional and spiritual are addressed as one.

Recently Western scientists have been doing a lot of research and have also come up with theories on how this ancient medicine works. There is significant evidence that the stimulation of specific acupuncture points activates the central nervous system and alters the messages it is sending to the brain.  This can evoke a biological response like a release of endorphins for pain; regulation of hormones for weight loss and menopausal symptoms; optimization of the immune system for  allergies or autoimmune conditions; or even regulation of neurotransmitters to reduce stress, improve sleep and help with depression or anxiety.  It is this regulation of the brain chemistry that makes people feel so relaxed during and after treatment.

Whether we are talking about the energy flow in the body, or the neurochemistry of the brain, in essence both the Eastern and Western explanations come down to the same conclusion: Acupuncture brings balance to the body, and stimulates it to heal itself.

Treatment Experience

    Acupuncture treatments are painless and extremely relaxing. In the the initial treatment there will be full consultation to determine your underlying condition, treatment plan and herbal recommendation.  Treatments last approximately one hour and blend acupuncture with sound healing, reiki, massage, and cupping where appropriate.

    Thomas, the world’s leading industrial sourcing and marketing platform, is conducting monthly surveys to uncover coronavirus’ continued impacts on North American manufacturing. Based on responses from more than a thousand companies to our surveys in February and March 2020, comparatively we found:

    • Fewer Reported Impacts on Manufacturing: Only 45% of companies reported that they are impacted by the outbreak, compared to last month’s 60%.
    • Increased Concerns on Price Surges: We witnessed a significant drop in concerns for disrupted shipping and logistics from 71% (February) to 42% (March). The concern over offshore factory suspension and production restrictions is also easing down from 55% to 36%, respectively. However, there is a significant rise in concern (from 12% up to 22%) regarding price surges for cost of goods.
    • 1 in 2 U.S. Manufacturers Now Seeking Domestic Sources of Supply: We saw a reduced desire in sourcing internationally (from 43% to 34%), and an increased number of respondents (47% from 43%) are now looking to source in North America.
    • Creative Coping Strategies Starting to Emerge: From increasing capacity to support customers impacted by degraded supply chains to using live feed cameras to deliver machinery acceptance tests, we see American ingenuity at its best.
    • Impacts on Oil Price Fluctuation: 53% reported they are feeling an impact and shared their insights on how this will both positively and negatively affect the downstream industries, from energy to fashion to logistics.

AF 35mm F1.8 FE Review

AF 35mm F1.8 FE Review

Another tiny but mighty lens from Samyang that finds it place as an all-rounder or daily driver.

Out of the box, the Samyang AF 35mm f/1.8 FE comes with a large lens good and nice protective case that comes with the f/1.8 FE lens in Samyang’s tiny lens line. With a compact lens that’s 35mm, this lens is truly an all-rounder as a go-to lens for different situations. Weighing in at just 210g (without lens caps and lens hood), the weight of this lens really helps with all-day shooting.

Build Quality:

Comparing the 35mm f/1.8 FE to both the Samyang 45mm f/1.8 FE and 18mm f/2.8 FE, you can see a shift in the design of the lens hoods as well as size. The lens hood on the other lenses are slimmer and in the case of the 45mm circular, you can see a shift to a more petal design comparing the 18mm to the 35mm. The lens hood on the Samyang 35mm felt by far the most studier and fit for purpose in terms of protecting the camera and blocking unwanted light. It’s a welcome improvement from the previous designs on some of the older lenses.

As you can see in the Image above without a lens hood, the Samyang 35mm looks very similar to the previous lenses in this range with slight differences that are noticeable. The most noticeable visual difference is the custom switch which adds a bit more length to the lens 35mm however it’s only 63.5 mm long.

Speaking of the custom switch, It’s the 2nd Samyang lens for Sony mirrorless cameras to incorporate this feature, with the first being the 75mm f/1.8 FE.

As of now, mode 1 acts as a normal focusing ring whilst mode 2 will change aperture settings with the focus ring. I’ve found the setting of mode 2 most useful with video for smoother aperture changes. With future firmware updates, the custom modes will incorporate more setting and features.

The build quality of the lens is very good with a mixture of metal and plastic as the construction of the lens. It feels like it has a good quality build in your hands and has a metal lens mount that’s also weather-sealed to prevent dust and moisture. It’s great to see Samyang implementing some of the developments of their premium lenses onto other lens lines. The focus ring is ridged to give more control for when making changes with the ring. Paired up with a Sony A7III, the lens feels very balanced in your hands and is compact and light.

AF Performance

I tested the autofocus with some skateboarding shots, shooting in burst mode as an opportunity to see how well the autofocus tracked a subject. For this test, I left the focus mode on wide to focus on my composition as the GIF was handheld rather than using a tripod. I fired away and let the autofocus do the work across the whole frame of the autofocus points. I was really impressed with the autofocus as each Image in the GIF was accurate and sharp, the focus was consistent in tracking the subject and was fast in catching the movements of the skateboarder in each frame. I didn’t experience focus hunting and would feel quite confident in trusting the autofocus. In addition to the fast autofocus, this lens is really quiet and would be well suited for filming due to Samyang’s linear STM technology.

General use

A 35mm focal length is a very versatile focal length for capturing different subjects, and a compact lens such as this draws strengths in street photography where you need to blend into the environment. When exploring, London, looking for new perspectives in hotels, shopping malls or interiors there is usually security that tends to approach photographers with large lenses as they’re not keen on the “professional photography” associated with large lenses. I didn’t attract any attention at all when using this lens in a busy shopping mall which really helped me to concentrate on isolating detail in the environment. This is such a great lens for practical everyday use and is now my walk-around lens. The photos below are examples of what I captured walking around and exploring.

The out of focus area of the Image is commonly referred to as Bokeh which usually lies in the realm of pleasing or distracting. The difference is mainly attributed to the number of blades that make up the aperture of a lens with more blades being a positive factor. In addition, the capacity to shoot wide open at F1.8 for shallow depth of field produces pleasing Bokeh by isolating the subject. Although bokeh is subjective, the shot above shows how appealing the bokeh can look, especially for a wide-angle lens where bokeh is harder to be noticeable in comparison to a telephoto lens. Regardless of the focal length, the lens produces really smooth and beautiful bokeh which is a testament its 9 blade aperture.

Another tiny but mighty lens from Samyang which certainly finds its place as a go-to lens to capture different subjects. Samyang have certainly updated the IQ of this lens from the advancement in technology they’ve had with their older lenses. This lens has really good build quality with weather sealing. The mode switch and the option for aperture control is useful and will have further applications in the future with more firmware updates. The autofocus is fast, accurate and quiet with application to video uses where audio can impact the shot. From my experience, a lightweight and compact lens such as this really has huge strengths in situations where I needed to be incognito in order to get the shot, like street photography or exploring. After all, “you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.”

Sankey Diagrams in Excel

Mark over at the Excel Off The Grid blog has a great new post on how to ‘Create a Sankey diagrams in Excel’.

Mark shows how to build a simple 2 category relationship diagram by using stacked area charts and reversed stacked bar charts. By layering the individual charts with mostly transparent colors (except the actual arrow), he manages to get a very neat diagram. It even allows changing the spacing between the start and end nodes, as well as the segment length of the horizontal first and and last arrow segment.

That is ‘big ass’-Excel usage!! Check out this video to see how the source data is prepared (some SUMIFs involved here) and the Sankey diagram is made. It is well worth watching all 18 minutes, in my opinion.

And if you want to try it out, you can download the template and start building from there. Read Mark’s post here.

Funding Your Care

How much does live-in care cost?

Making decisions about care, whether for yourself or for a loved one, is never easy. Whilst we all want to achieve the best possible outcome for ourselves and our families, cost will inevitably be a factor for most of us.

The cost of care and nursing homes varies hugely around the country and they depend on the type of support needed. For instance, they tend to be highest for younger people with learning disabilities whilst older people’s care costs tend to be lower although some places, including private hospitals, can charge much more. You may also be asked to pay more if you have a larger room, or if there are more facilities in the home or more luxurious surroundings. You may pay less if you share a room.

Understanding how much care costs and what help you might get with paying for care can be daunting. The options depend on your financial circumstances and the type and amount of care you need. Also, costs and available support vary from council to council.

It may come as a surprise to many people, but the cost of live-in care compares favourably with many care or nursing homes and, of course, care at home offers many advantages over residential care. For a single client, the charge for a live-in carer is typically less than residential care home fees. Where a couple wish to remain at home together, it is often possible that they could both be cared for by a Santé Care at Home live-in carer with costs being considerably less than two residential care home fees.

In line with our commitment to providing an excellent service, we also aim to provide a very cost effective and affordable live-in home care service. In addition, the cost of home care services from Santé Care at Home is entirely transparent. After your initial care assessment, we will discuss the costs with you based on the care plan and provide you with a detailed breakdown of the costs and services that we will provide. All of our live-in home care costs are inclusive too: there are no hidden extra live-in care costs, and no VAT. We believe that quality care should be affordable to as many people as possible. That is why our live-in prices are generally lower than residential care homes.

The only occasion when the price that you are paying for live-in care from Santé Care at Home may change is if is if the nature of the care you are receiving changes.

We pride ourselves on treating every client as an individual and so every case is judged on its own merits. To obtain a more accurate assessment, please give us a call to discuss your needs in more detail.

Funding Your Care

As life expectancy continues to increase, most of us can expect to need some sort of care at some point in our later years. There may be a number of concerns that you and your family have when faced with the issue of paying for care, for what is usually an unknown length of time. A major concern may be that the money might run out, so you will no longer be able to have the care provider or type of care (such as care in your own home), that you prefer. For many, the fact that the value within the estate is being depleted is also a considerable concern.

We understand how difficult planning the financing of long term care can sometimes be and therefore it is very important that you find the right solution for you and your family. The reality is that various financing options and state benefit schemes do exist, which enable many people to enjoy care at home.

If you are planning to fund your own care, there are probably more funding options available than you realise, including investing capital, equity release and other funding methods. Choosing how to pay for your care or the care of a loved one is a difficult decision; you want to do what's best, but we do live in the real world and appreciate that price is important. Many people presume that receiving a bespoke live-in care at home service is beyond their financial means; however, as more information about financing care becomes available in the public domain, live-in care is becoming an increasingly popular option.

Before you start to make decisions we would recommend that you take advice from advisers who are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, particularly those who specialise in the financial and retirement options of older people of all ages and circumstances. The reassurance that sound advice brings is an essential part of moving towards making decisions for the short and longer term.

However much money you have, you are entitled to an assessment of your care needs from your local council. This should help you work out what support might best suit your situation. After the assessment, even if you are not eligible for funding from social services, they should still give you information and advice about other local sources of support, which might include local charities, advocacy and support networks, and private companies.

If you would like to find out if you are eligible for funding from your local authority, you will need to request an assessment of needs. Your local authority is obliged to carry out this assessment in line with the NHS and Community Care Act 1990. If your local authority then agrees care is needed, they will undertake a financial assessment (means test) to see how much care can be paid for by the state, and whether you will also need to contribute.

Following your needs assessment and financial assessment, your council may offer you Direct Payments. They will pay you the cash so that you can arrange and buy your own care. The cash must be spent on care that meets your assessed needs but it means you can be more flexible and individual in the way you arrange your care. However, the money must not go to a relative or anyone living in your household unless they are specifically employed as a live-in carer. You have to keep records to show exactly how you have spent the money.

Most councils charge for care that they provide or arrange. How much you pay depends on the assessment. If you are receiving or will be receiving care in your own home, the value of your home is not counted within the means test for care funding. If your capital is less than £23,250, your income will be assessed but you must be left with at least the basic amount of Pension Credit plus 25 per cent. Some councils are more generous and increase the capital threshold or set a maximum amount they expect anyone to pay for their care. Advice should be sought from your Local Authority about current calculations used to determine if you qualify for any financial assistance.

If you do not meet the local criteria for care, but still need some help, you may decide to arrange and pay for your own care privately. Even if you meet your council’s criteria for care, if you have savings or capital over £23,250 you may have to meet the costs of care in full yourself. Once your capital starts to reduce to around £30,000, you will need to approach your local council and ask for a new care assessment.

Equity release: Equity release enables you to unlock the cash tied up in your property with typically no monthly repayments to make. Equity release schemes include Reversion Plans (sale of your property), Interest Only Mortgages, Home Income Plans (mortgage used to buy an Annuity), Roll Up Mortgages (the lender gives you a lump sum, you pay nothing and the interest is ‘rolled up’ into the loan) and Shared Appreciation Mortgages. How much you can release depends on a number of factors such as your age, health, lifestyle, the kind of equity release plan you choose and how much your home is worth.

Annuities: An annuity provides a regular income in exchange for a lump sum. When you are ready to convert the money built up in your pension into a regular income, the most popular way to go about this is usually through an annuity. You can usually take up to 25 per cent of the total amount as a tax-free lump sum, but the rest can be converted into an annuity, so you receive a regular income.

Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA): An LPA allows people you trust and you choose to make decisions and act on your behalf, if you can no longer make decisions or do things for yourself. Property and Affairs LPA allows you to choose people who can make decisions for you about how to manage your affairs and spend your money. Personal Welfare LPA allows you to choose people to make decisions about your healthcare and welfare. This includes decisions to refuse or consent to treatment and where you live. You can make LPAs at any time while you have capacity. LPAs are registered with the Office of the Public Guardian and can only be used once they are registered. They are subject to the principles of the Mental Capacity Act 2005.

A little light reading

A quick post from me this week as time seems to be getting away from me!

I thought I’d just share some of the reading I’ve been doing recently and see if anyone else wanted to share what they’ve found useful (or, I suppose what they’ve found hasn’t been worth the time and effort).

So, in terms of non-fiction reading I’ve recently been getting my eyes around:

Both these books are from the New Riders Voices That Matter series and are not only interesting and in many ways inter-linked but are in a format that’s easily digestable and quick to go back to.

I’m part way through both books at the moment but I think Clout is raising some interesting questions for me in terms of content and engagement strategy as well as strengthing some of the ideas I’ve been pursuing with Carl Haggerty about making content multi-platform and purpose.

Undercover UX had me right from the start as it sets out that ‘forgiveness is easier than permission’ and recognises the culture change needed within organisations before this stuff can be embedded. I think it’s important to keep that in mind with frustration at (lack of) progress rears its head.

Is anyone else reading either of these and using any of the suggestions in a localgov setting? Or are you reading something else (to do with UX, content strategy or performance, or social media as a channel) that you would recommend?

3 thoughts on “A little light reading

  1. Hi Sarah

    ‘Undercover user experience design’ is a great book, nice and compact too!

    Have you the all time classic web usability book ‘Don’t Make Me Think!: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability’ by Steve Krug? It gave me lots of lightbulb moments!

    I was lucky enough to go to one of Steve’s seminars in London in 2005, his common sense approach influenced a lot of the work I was doing at Walsall Council around 2004-6 with designing a new website and intranet. It worked as we were recognised by SOCITM’s Better Connected report as having one of the top 30 local government websites in 2007 and top 20 in 2009 with high ratings for usability, accessibiliy and content.

    Since returning to Australia, I’ve found the books below useful for my work on Queensland Government websites and intranets… (all published by New Riders)

    ‘Information Architecture: Blueprints for the Web’ by Christina Wodtke and Austin Govella – fantastic book about IA.

    ‘A project guide to UX design’ by Russ Unger and Carolyn Chandler – looks at the UX design, principles and deliverables in terms of a project lifecycle.

    ‘Communicating design – developing web site documentation for design and planning’ by Dan M. Brown – I found this one a bit hard to read cover to cover, but the illustrations of diagrams and deliverables are worth the price of the book alone.

  2. Hi Matt,

    Thanks for the comment – I have read ‘Don’t Make Me Think’ and you’re right about the lightbulb moments. It’s a handy volume to have around to flick through when there’s a danger of slipping into a business-centred (rather than user-centred) rut!

    I’ll check out the books you mention as they all sound interesting and relevant from the titles. I’m really digging the New Riders catalogue at the moment and while I’m sure you’ve read it I wouldn’t hesitate to recomment Kristina Halvorson’s Content Strategy for the Web – I think there is a new edition out in the next few months.

    The real challenge now is finding time to read and digest all this stuff (as well as blogs, and conversations and the rest)!

My Life This Week | Lifestyle

This week I've been a little up and down, having physio and starting some new pain and nerve medication that hasn't made me a happy bunny. Although I have managed to do quite a bit of crafting this week and I've really enjoyed having a little bit of time to myself.
This week I've been refreshing my Bloglovin' and Twitter accounts and falling in love with both old and new blogs. Blogs I've really enjoyed reading this week are Hello You, Lemon Freckles, Tiny Grey Cat, Hello The Mushroom, and Wardrobe Conversations
Although I'm still catching up with Pretty Little Liars, and I'm on season five now, I decided that I would stop being as obsessed and only watching episodes as a 'treat' after doing Uni reading. That seems to be working really well. I've also had a catch up with Fortitude this week, I've missed around five episodes and with it being the season finale next week I decided I needed to get back on it. Also, as well as those two, I've been watching a new show called Critical. It's one of the most amazing shows I have ever seen, it's intense and full of gore which is perfect for me!
I've been indulging in hot cross buns this week. I honestly didn't realise it was Easter this weekend up until midweek and presumed it was a few weeks away, but I thought I best get into the spirit of things!
My Bluebird Tea Co. order arrived this week and was filled to the brim with delightful and fresh, new flavours. My favourite this week has been hot cross bun (to match what I've been eating obviously!) along with cherry Bakewell which is an absolute delight to drink.

How to Keep Snakes Out of Your Yard

How to Keep Snakes Out of Your Yard

If you live in an area where snakes are common, chances are you might stumble across one at some point. Snakes, like any other pest, are usually in search of three things: food, water, and shelter, which the areas around our homes tend to provide. There are several factors that determine how likely it is for a snake to be found on your property. These include location, landscaping, nearby water source, the state of your lawn, and how readily a food supply is available. Below are a few ways to keep snakes out of your yard.

Scare Them Off

One of the easiest ways to scare off a snake in your yard is to use your garden hose. Spray the snake with a steady stream from the hose until he slithers off. You can also consider installing a perch pole for hawks, owls, and other natural snake predators to perch on. Be sure to place it in an open area so that the birds have a good view of your yard and the surrounding area.

Don’t Invite Them In

Since snakes usually come into your yard looking for food, water, and shelter, eliminating these will lower the chances of them paying you a visit.

  • Mow your grass often and keep it cut short. Shorter grass means more exposure to predators like hawks and coyotes. Plus, it makes them much easier for you to spot.
  • Avoid overwatering your lawn so you don’t attract snake food sources such as frogs, worms, and slugs.
  • Keep trees, shrubs, and branches trimmed away from the sides of your home, roof, and ground.
  • Move bird feeders away from the house or get rid of them altogether. Birds often leave seeds scattered underneath, which can attract rodents and ultimately attract snakes.
  • If you have a woodpile, make sure it is kept away from the home and elevated if possible.
  • When designing your landscaping, try to avoid using mulch or large rocks. These can create breeding grounds and overwintering habitats for snakes. Instead, use smaller, tight-fitting rocks like gravel.

Lock Them Out

Snakes can be very persistent pests and keeping them out can be difficult. You should carefully inspect the outside of your home and seal any cracks or crevices you find on the house or foundations. Consider installing fencing around your yard, garden, or pool.

The best way to prevent snakes is to take steps to keep them out in the first place. Snake control can be dangerous depending on the type of snake you have. If you have a snake problem, contact animal control of your local wildlife control company who can help safely trap, relocate, or remove the snake from your home.

A Kansas City wedding cake, inspired by the country.

I've been away from The Blog for a while and thought my first post back should be the story behind my "Forbidden Love" wedding cake designed for Cake Masters Magazine. It is always such an honor to be contacted by a publication to design a cake for an upcoming issue! This cake will forever be one of my favorites, for many reasons.

Forbidden Love Wedding Cake

Sometimes, the publication will give you a theme or a sub-theme within a theme. It can be anything from a general feeling to a color scheme, inspiration photo or quote. Sometimes, they just tell you to go with whatever strikes your fancy! This is where the hardest work comes in for me. My creative process involves a lot of sketching, a lot of thinking and a LOT of dreaming about cake designs until I finally have a concept I am excited about creating. Sometimes it takes a few quick sketches and other times, I go through pages of drawings and revisions before a design takes shape in my mind.

I was given the option of a few different sub-themes within the overall theme of "Love Stories" for the February issue. I mulled them over a bit, trying to decide which sub-theme lit my creative fire. This is where real life becomes inspiration! My littlest boys love the movie "Gnomeo and Juliet" (it is hilarious by the way if you haven't seen it) and the forbidden love story of Romeo and Juliet kept popping into my brain. This cake was also going to be featured in the February issue, which was both my Grandma Dot and Grandpa Dr's birth month. My grandma was a whole 8 days older than my grandpa and he used to tease her about marrying "an older woman." I loved them dearly, as did anyone who met them. My grandpa was an old-school country doctor, born to German immigrant parents who settled in Central Kansas. He had a quiet strength and a heart as big as the state of Texas. My grandma was a beautiful, graceful, talented artist, woman of faith and mother of 5 (and lover of shoes - hmmm - hereditary??) who embodied the term "lady" in every way. They married in secret and kept it hidden for several months until the semester at the University of Kansas ended and they could tell their families. For all of those reasons, I chose the sub-theme of "Forbidden Love" for my cake design.

Grandpa Dr and Grandma Dot.jpg

Now that the theme was set, I needed to figure out how to translate the story of Romeo and Juliet into cake form. I went through several different ideas (and many trees and sketches) before settling on the final design. Inspiration can come in many forms, my roots growing up in small town central Kansas became the overriding inspiration for this cake design. Using Juliet roses was a no-brainer, they were just perfect for this design and the story I wanted to tell. They have a very unique center that I decided to exaggerate into a star shape so I could play on Shakespeare's "star-crossed lovers" theme. I had Juliet, now how was I going to bring Romeo into this design?

Forbidden Love Wedding Cake

I love juxtapositions. The soft pink of the roses needed to be set off against something bold and rough. Well, follow me down the rabbit hole to see how this design came about! I grew up in a small town with loads of old farm structures in various stages of weathering. I used to love to go to my grandparents' farm (Grandma Dot and Grandpa Dr) outside town to watch my grandpa feed the hay to the cows. From my earliest memories, I have loved old barns and weathered wood. There is a beauty in the stories those old structures tell. Almost like the beginnings of gray hair that show at the temples of a life that has lived many years. Those old barns with their chipped and worn paint have years of memories stashed inside their grain. To this day, I still have a love of weathered barn wood and corrugated tin (look for some faux fondant tin in an up-coming design!)

Forbidden Love Wedding Cake

I decided to use barn wood to bring in Romeo into this design. The deep turquoise blue, weathered wood to off-set the pale pink roses. One is delicate and soft, the other rough and worn. Complete opposites but when put together - undeniably beautiful!

Of course, we can't forget the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet's love story. The danger of their love is represented by the barbed wire, again going back to those old farm images. Barbed wire doesn't look too terribly dangerous unless you see it up close and happen to prick your finger and need a tetanus shot (the same for rusty nails. Good thing my Grandpa Dr!)

Forbidden Love Wedding Cake

The only key to the locked heart is hanging from one of the barbs. The bias relief field of flowers to represent the purity of their love that Romeo and Juliet felt could overcome any danger.

From a central Kansas love story inspiration to a Kansas City wedding cake, this cake will be a sentimental favorite of mine forever. Every time I look at it, I will remember my roots and how deep they go, no matter where I am!

There are many kinds of overseas countries where mail order brides could get married. Many of these matrimony agencies use the internet to leave their customers know what kind of countries they can be interested in. The site also lets their customers flick through profiles of men whom are willing to end up being their spouse. Profiles of foreign men are published by the clients and the men are delivered a personal personal message or picture telling all of them how they resemble, what kind of female they want, what their wage is, etc .

The Documentary That Forever Changed My View Of The Fashion Industry

As a pre-teen in the early days of Youtube, I was obsessed with fashion hauls, black Friday hauls, What I Got For Christmas videos, anything that pertained to shopping! YouTubers shared their hauls from stores like Forever 21, H&M, Zara, Windsor, and more. As the YouTube industry grew, brands began sending YouTubers free clothing in exchange for marketing or reviews; thus exposing hundreds of millions of people, many of whom are young and impressionable, to fast fashion brands.

When I was a sophomore in college I landed an internship with CollegeFashionista as a fashion writer. A few of us were selected to receive some clothing pieces from Boohoo and you would not believe my excitement! I felt so special being chosen to receive free clothing and all I had to do was post a few photos in the pieces. I of course chose my free outfits, without even considering the cost it truly had on not only the environment, also the person, who was most likely another woman, who made the garment. That was about five years. Just as recently as July 2020, Boohoo co-founder Mahmut Kamani admitted himself that their workers are paid less than minimum wage.

During the second semester of my sophomore year I took a fashion & culture course. In one of our classes we watched the documentary The True Cost. This exposed how fast fashion companies export the majority of their production to third world countries and sweat shops, where it is mainly women making the clothes in unimaginable conditions for unlivable pay. It also revealed how the industry is the second most environmentally destructive industry. It showed clips of YouTube videos of popular YouTuber’s hauls, and how they promote fast fashion companies that engage in terrible labor practices. The documentary left me not only shocked, but heart broken.

We all want cute pieces for a great deal, I’m with you. But once I saw what the real impact of buying something amazing at Zara was on other people, other women, it felt better knowing I was not voting for this continue with my dollar. Which essentially is what we do when we shop. Wherever we shop or whatever we buy is your vote for that business, item, and even the practices that the business ensues.

I found my opportunity to share not only my love of fashion, but promote more sustainable shopping practices through SCend It In! With my service I have helped save hundreds of pounds of clothing from landfills that students otherwise may have thrown away. I have also helped them earn some extra money through my service.

I’m not claiming to be 100% sustainable, because I certainly am not. It also seems nearly impossible to be completely sustainable, but we can make a conscious effort where we can, and that’s what I would encourage others to do. Though I would never shame anyone who still buys fast fashion, I do the same here and there, because none of us are perfect. We are all doing the best we can to make a positive impact on the world.

Though this post was not meant to be an educational one, I would like to share the ThredUp 2020 Fashion Resale Market and Trend Report. ThredUp does a great job digging into the direction the industry is heading and the impact buying secondhand has.

What are your thoughts on fast fashion?

Why do you shop secondhand? Is it to try to be more sustainable or does it not matter to search for out of season trends?

Blogpost: Yeezy and Kanye West - Season 3-4 Zine

Posted by T • August 4, 2019

Posted by T • August 4, 2019

Yeezy and Kanye West

Yeezy Season 3 – 4 Zine

Thames & Hudson

The Yeezy phenomenon is one that ties in with the zeitgeist of artificially created hype and scarcity. Camping outside of store days ahead of a new limited drop has become a common occurrence with the reward being to be allowed to pay handsomely for a pair of sneakers, the value of which instantly doubles, triples or quadruples if resold to those less fortunate.

Kanye West’s Yeezy collections and on-going endeavours in the world of fashion have become his second most successful business endeavour apart from music.

At the end of the day, it is all about context, association, perception, brand building and combining all the into an idiosyncratic whole that make a simple shoe worth much more than what they are.

I have to admit that the shoe designs of the Yeezy collections have never really excited me, however, the aesthetic that has been built around the brand and its incarnations along with the curation and art direction, has intrigued me – especially since it has left its indelible mark on the wider fashion industry.

I also like that fact that behind the hubris that at times informs his persona, Kanye West appears to be acutely aware of the fact that it took his status as a popstar to enable him to get this far in fashion, which by some is perceived to be the highest form of art.

The fact that there is more going on around his sneakers, is the opulently illustrated and curated zine for his fashion creations.

YEEZY Season 3–4 Zine zeros in on the third and fourth collections of Kanye West’s YEEZY footwear, apparel and accessories line.

In essence, the at times gloomy and atmospheric photographs by Jackie Nickerson, a renowned conceptual photographer, are a feast for the eyes that make far more than a mere look book.

The way not only the garments and shoes are depicted, but also how the models and Kanye’s muses are set into scene suggests that there is more to the collections than what materializes on shelves at retailers.

The zine comes in an extravagantly oversized format, printed on rough, uncoated Kamiko paper with intensely black ink and is of course usually quickly sold out.

While this might not be considered an essential addition to the canon of books on luminaries of the fashion world, it is certainly testament to the unique lane the man has carved for himself and makes for a stylish adornment in my design section of my library, however, one that because of its monstrous size would demand a book shelf constructed by Maurits Cornelis Escher.
