Public gives feedback on Wilberforce food centre proposal

September 24, 2014

By Jenn Watt

If the Ontario Trillium Foundation approves their proposal, Highlands East could have a new food bank space, more access to food for those in need and more cooking classes and food programming.
On Thursday evening, project co-ordinator John Teljeur met with members of the community to explain a plan that he, the municipality and two other food bank co-ordinators, Ken Mott (Wilberforce) and Robert Spurrier (Cardiff), had created to put an addition on the Lloyd Watson Centre in Wilberforce.
“You’ve got a kitchen here that’s under utilized, we’ve got this amazing hall right here,” Teljeur said, explaining that the space would not only be used to store and distribute food, but also to have community events that brought people together around food regardless of income.
While the proposal is about creating a new structure on the municipally owned building, it is just as much about creating a new way of viewing food programming, he said.
Outlined in his presentation were ideas such as establishing a community kitchen in the same building as the food bank; putting on programming that will give the space the feeling of a drop-in centre; engaging grocery stores to have them donate good food they are planning to throw away; and increasing the number of community gardens in the county, among others.
Should the municipality receive the Trillium grant, the food bank would become a member of the Ontario Association of Food Banks, giving them access to more food.
eljeur envisioned the Wilberforce Food Centre would become part of a Haliburton County regional food hub, storing and distributing food for all sorts of programming and community endeavours.
“That food hub is huge. We’re going to acquire more food, we’re going to store more food and we’re going to distribute more food and that’s the bottom line with this,” he said. Having somewhere to put fresh produce would allow programs such as Food for Kids or charitable organizations to more economically run their events.
Members of the audience wondered whether all of the proposed programs would mean that other community events would be pushed out of the Lloyd Watson Centre.
Councillor Joan Barton clarified that the Wilberforce Food Centre would book space in the same way that any other group did.
“The intention is not to hand over this facility,” Barton said. “They would be booking like anyone else would book.”
The food bank space would likely only be open about two days a week and be run by local volunteers.
Several community members said they worried that the addition would take up parking spaces beside the centre, which are often hard to come by during big events.
Barton and Reeve Dave Burton couldn’t recall how many parking spaces the plans intended to repurpose for the food centre, but said it was no more than seven spaces that would be lost.
While plans do exist, they weren’t brought to the meeting and councillors said they would be posted to the Highlands East municipal website and made available for the public to peruse.
Burton said there would be another public meeting for further consultation.
Other sites for the food centre had been considered, Teljeur said, but the Lloyd Watson Centre makes most sense because the space would be connected to the kitchen facilities, allowing community kitchen programming to happen.
In addition, the plans include public washrooms to be added to the building.
Many examples of what could be done with the food centre were floated and Teljeur, who is a board member of the OAFB, was able to talk about particularly inspiring models that could be used in the hamlet.
“Windsor Essex Food Bank … what they’ve done is they’ve actually partnered with the local colleges and they run chefs programs. They actually really teach you to cook to the point where you have a skill where you become more employable,” he said.
Rosie Kadwell, a local health unit dietitian, was in the audience and added that even if classes aren’t formal college courses, there is a lot of good that can come of them for participants.
“It doesn’t even have to be a chef’s cooking program; it’s just people that come together to cook,” Kadwell said.
“It prepares people to go back to the workforce,” she said.
Kadwell gave the example of a single mother who may have been home with the kids for several years. Volunteering at a community kitchen, taking the safe food handling course and meeting others could give her the skills and experiences she needed to update her resume and build confidence to re-enter the workforce.
Councillors assured audience members that the accessible entrance to the hall would remain in place should the plan go ahead.
The grant would cover the whole project.
This week, members of the Trillium foundation are doing a site visit, however, that doesn’t mean the food centre is approved. Word on that decision won’t come until the end of October, Teljeur estimated.
If they’re unsuccessful in the grant application, Teljeur said he will keep applying until they do receive the money.

vintage + handmade

Vintage + Handmade that's what I'm all about and this is a perfect example of mixing vintage pieces with handmade creations. In this look the cropped dolman sleeve top is sewn and hand-dyed in my studio, the necklace is made with stones I have collected that I wrapped with heavy gauge wire and hung from a great, beautiful vintage chain, the skirt is a wonderful red vintage slip with ruffle detail.  I made the dreamcatchers hanging about using vintage doilies and recycled metal circles from old crab nets used many moons ago somewhere here in bayou country. The blankets and afghans are either handmade or vintage or both.

A perfect representation of bayou bohemian.
Jewels + Metals, Leather + Stone, Cloth + Dye, Remnants + Relics.

Specialist Provision – at our Westfield site

Our Specialist Provision is based at the Westfield Site. It offers a more personalised curriculum for young people who would not normally have their needs met within a special school. Typically, students within the Specialist Provision have;

  • Complex communication difficulties that preclude participation, understanding and contribution in the majority of settings.
  • Extreme anxiety that often requires 1:1 support to engage with learning even in the home environment
  • Little or no evidence of positive social relationships as result of inability to understand social norms and inability to interpret verbal and non-verbal communication
  • Average or above average cognitive ability in many academic subjects
  • Extreme and frequent response to a wide range of sensory stimuli requiring major adjustments or bespoke learning environment

Consultations for placement will follow the same format as those for all students at The Beech Academy i.e. through the SEND Officers at County Hall.

Many of the pupils in the cohort have had significant time away from a school environment and support is tailored to enable them to engage in a learning environment. Ideally, we aim to teach pupils in groups no larger than 4, although we recognise that this is a long-term aim and individuals may need individual programmes initially.

The curriculum is at a higher academic level than that offered at the main site; pupils are able to access higher grade GCSEs and equivalent qualifications. Throughout there is a strong focus on enrichment, skills for daily living, independence and well-being. At Key Stage 3 we cover a broad curriculum and focus on re-engagement. Currently at Key Stage 4 we offer courses in English Language, English Literature, Maths, Photography and Biology GCSEs, BTEC Level 2 Applied Science, Level 2 Functional Skills IT, Level 2 Aims Award, BTEC Hospitality and NCFE Creative Crafts. At Post 16 we offer re-sits if necessary in English and Maths, GCSE History, BTEC Level 2 Home Cooking Skills and a preparation for adulthood and employability programme. The curriculum at all ages includes Forest School and other opportunities to develop strategies to manage anxiety.

Pupils who attend the provision are given the opportunity to gain qualifications, but we are mindful that success can be measured in many ways for this cohort. For some it is the fact that they have re-engaged with learning, for others it may be that Beech Academy is a stepping stone into further education or training. We work closely with CAMHS and other agencies to ensure that everyone has realistic expectations, and flexibility of provision allows us to meet fluctuating needs.

Want to build a high-performing firm? Former Harvard professor shows how

April 1, 2016

Lisle, Illinois ~ Building a high-performing firm starts with leaders who have the right values, says Michael Beer, Ph.D., a Cahners-Rabb Professor of Business Administration, Emeritus, at the Harvard Business School.

Beer will talk about how communication, organization and the right leaders can make a difference when he lectures at Benedictine University as part of the Contemporary Trends in Change Management Lecture Series sponsored by the Master of Science in Management and Organizational Behavior program and Department of Organization Development.

Beer will present "High Commitment, High Performance: How to Build a Resilient Organization for Sustained Advantage," on the fourth floor of Goodwin Hall from 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 16. A continental breakfast and lunch will be provided.

A well-known authority in the areas of leadership and organizational effectiveness, organization change and human resource management, Beer also serves as the co-founder and director of the management consultancy firm TruePoint and as co-founder and chairman of the nonprofit Center for Higher Ambition Leadership, whose mission is to help companies and their leaders do well by doing good.

Beer is the author of 11 books, including "High Commitment, High Performance" (2009) and "Higher Ambition" (2011), and received numerous professional and academic honors. He has been awarded the Academy of Management's Scholar-Practitioner Award and the Society of Human Resource Management's Michael C. Losey Research Award.

"High Commitment, High Performance" provides a vision of how managers at all levels can transform, manage and lead sustained, high-performing firms. Integrating knowledge from the fields of leadership, strategic management, performance management, organization design and organization development, Beer outlines what the high-commitment, high-performance organization looks like and provides practitioners with the transformation process to help them get there.

Starting with leaders who have the right values, Beer shows how to weave together a complete system that includes top-to-bottom communication, organization design, human resource policies and leadership transformation process, and outlines what practitioners must do in human resources, structure, systems, goals, culture and strategy to create high-performance organizations.

The Contemporary Trends in Change Management Lecture Series brings top national academicians and consultants to Benedictine to address major issues in organizational behavior and development.

The lecture is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Hilda Valdivia at hvaldivia@ben.edu or (630) 829-6361.

Benedictine University is located in Lisle, Illinois just 25 miles west of Chicago, and has branch campuses in Springfield, Illinois and Mesa, Arizona. Founded as a Catholic university in 1887, Benedictine enrolls nearly 10,000 students in 56 undergraduate and 19 graduate programs. Forbes magazine named Benedictine among "America's Top Colleges" for the fifth consecutive year in 2015. Benedictine University's Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) program is listed by Crain's Chicago Business as the fifth largest in the Chicago area in 2015.

3 Cheese Mostaccioli Bolognese

This has been one of my favorite recipes to make. I do not make a lot of pasta dishes, but this one was a hit with family and friends, plus it makes a ton! It's great for a big get together or if you need leftovers for the week.

3 Cheese Mostaccioli Bolognese:
1 pound ground beef
1 medium zucchini, cut in small pieces
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large jar of traditional Italian sauce (I use the Great Value *Wal-Mart* brand)
1 box of wheat ziti pasta, cooked (GV brand)
2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese (low fat)
1 cup ricotta cheese (low fat)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (low fat)

First, cook the noodles. While they are boiling, cook the beef and garlic over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini (you can add more garlic/pepper if desired - garlic does go a LONG way) and cook until it's tender (roughly 10 - 15 mins longer). Stir in the sauce.

Once the noodles are finished cooking, mix the noodles, beef mixture, and cheese together. Once it is mixed well, transfer it to a large baking dish (9 x 13 works fine for me). You can also sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top which I do, because I love cheese.

Stick the dish in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes at 400 degrees.

Side dish options: garlic bread/rolls, side salad

Want to help save our marine environment and get a delicious free lunch in the process?

You might want to consider taking the Lionfish Culling Permit Courses which are now available.

Scuba divers, snorkelers and free divers are able to obtain a permit to spear lionfish anywhere on the Bermuda platform. The invasive species is threatening Bermuda’s native and endemic fish populations so there is no limit to the number of lionfish that can be caught. The good news is that lionfish makes great eating once their venomous spines are removed. The taste of the fish is often described as a mix between hogfish and grouper.

The course, which costs $20, lasts for about two hours and covers information on lionfish, safe handling and spearing practices and an explanation of how the permit programme works. Upon completion of the course, attendees will receive a plastic permit tag and lionfish spearing dive flag. Annual renewal of the permit is free, provided that the permit holder has reported their lionfish catches or sightings to the Bermuda Lionfish Task Force at www.oceansupport.org.

To find out about upcoming courses, email your name, email address and phone number to bdalionfishpermit@gmail.com. There is also a Facebook page about the Culling Program — https://www.facebook.com/BermudaLionfishCullingProgram

With a Lionfish Culling Permit, you can spear only lionfish on scuba or snorkel anywhere around the island including within the one-mile limit and on protected sites.

Contact James Gleason by email on bermudalionfishtaskforce@gmail.com or by phone on 441-704-5406.

Work with me

Are you your thoughts?

“A thought is harmless unless we believe it. It’s not our thoughts, but our attachment to our thoughts, that causes suffering.”

–Byron Katie

Simply described, The Work is a process of self-inquiry. Instead of automatically accepting the thoughts your mind tells you about a stressful situation, you begin to question its interpretations. By asking yourself The Work’s four questions, then considering the turnarounds or opposites of your beliefs, you will discover different perspectives that completely change your experience and outlook.

Without self-inquiry, you are convinced that there is no way out of repetitive, stressful situations. You feel trapped and just keep repeating the same patterns over and over again.

With The Work you are able to realize that the key out of those patterns is within you. You are the keeper of your own jail, the only one who can find the key and open the door to free yourself. That’s what The Work offers to anyone with an open mind who is willing to take a look.

Come, let’s do The Work. Beautiful Heart.

C3O Release – Fog of War and Recruiting

Hi guys,
We’ve just released a new version which you can check out now:

The two main features are Fog of War and Recruiting.

Fog of War represents what your survivors can see, where they have been, and where they have not been. The dark area shows unexplored regions, while the semi transparent areas have been explored, but you don’t have line of sight. This compliments the next feature release, recruiting.

6 survivors are now scattered across the map for you to find and recruit. Simply walk up to them (or let them walk up to you) and you will be able to control them. You have no way of knowing where they will be, so you must send your guys out and try to find them. Be careful later on in the game as they could be infected when found.

We’ve also added a brief intro/story/goals/tutorial, which will be built upon in future versions and will eventually work like the original C3O tutorial.

There’s also a few other minor tweaks, with fatty now taking a little less time to turn, and running slightly faster, among other things.

Keen to hear how you go, how long you last, etc!

C3O release – Customize survivor names and build roadblocks

Hi everyone,

We’ve just released a new version of C3O, which you can play here:

There are two main changes in this version.

The first change is that you can now choose the names for the three controllable civs, instead of them being fixed to Ethan, Emil and Paul. The first civ uses your account name, and for the other two civs you can choose from your Facebook friends. You can also choose the type of civ for each of them.

The second change is that you can now build roadblocks, using wood which you can find when searching buildings (like ammo).

Our crowd-funding campaign at has just ended earlier today. Thanks everyone for helping us raise over $1300 – we’re really thrilled with that result! :)

Thanks especially to Ethan, Emil, Paul, Adam, Joao and Sean, who each donated $100. Now that the controlled civ names can be chosen, each of these supporters appears as a random civ in the game. At the moment you can’t do anything with these named civs, but in the future we plan to make it possible for you to recruit them into your group.

For now we have set all of these named civs to the default guy, but let us know if you’d prefer a different civ type, and we’ll change it in the next release. Also, your names are now listed in the credits at – thanks again!

As well as these changes, Jay has made a number of tweaks to the various game settings, to change how the game plays. He wanted me to add this:

We’ve reduced civ auto attack distance (conserves on ammo, requires more player input, but still keeps you safe if you’re getting attacked).

Civ numbers have been brought up and zombie numbers down initially, with 2 min infection time. You have around 3 minutes to move around searching until you start really getting outnumbered. Watch out for reanimating zombies around this time (bright red dead people).

Maps with only a few buildings are still going to be mostly unplayable until we decide to implement a building dependent number of zombies and ammo.

Finally, we’ve added a new music track by Rhys Lindsay into the start of the game music.

We hope you like the new release – let us know what you think! :)

BioScience Dictionary

A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z | Ot.

Found DNA 556 times.

Displaying results 1 to 10.

1. 2-aminopurine
A derivative of purine which can substitute for adenine during dna replication . As a result, it can induce mistakes in dna and is therefore a powerful mutagen .

2. 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT)
An antibiotic used to treat infection by HIV (the AIDS virus ). The drug works by blocking replication of the HIV genetic material (in this case it is composed of RNA rather than dna ) by preventing the viral RNA from inserting into the host dna.

3. 5-hydroxymethylcytosine
A nucleotide base derived from cytosine which is used by the bacteriophage T4 in place of cytosine in its dna . The substitution protects the bacteriophage from its own nuclease enzyme s (enzymes which cut apart dna).

4. 6-mercaptopurine
Purine analog which can result in dna damage upon incorporation during synthesis of a dna strand.

5. 6-mercaptopurine
A toxic drug used to treat acute forms of leukemia (lymphocitic and granulocytic) by inhibiting dna synthesis.

6. Abnormal hemoglobin
Hemoglobin molecule with a different shape due to an altered amino acid sequence (ultimately caused by an altered dna base sequence), such as in the inherited disease sickle-cell anemia .

7. Acridine orange
3,6-bis(dimethylamino)acridinium chloride. A toxic, fluorescing dye that stains dna and RNA and is typically used to identify cancerous tumor cells. When it binds to double-stranded dna , it fluoresces green; when it binds with the phosphate groups of single-stranded dna or RNA , it fluoresces orange. The chemical also causes frameshift mutations.

8. Acrosome
A membrane-bound section at the tip of the head of a sperm which contains lytic enzyme s (hyaluronidase in mammalian sperm) which break down the outer coat of the egg and allow the sperm to inject its haploid dna .

9. Activator
In biochemistry: * A dna -binding protein that regulates one or more gene s by increasing the rate of transcription . * A metabolite that positively modulates an allosteric enzyme .

10. Acycloguanosine (acyclovir)
An antiviral medication used to treat herpesvirus infections; it works by inhibiting viral dna synthesis.

Grannies Inc came to Black Sheep to get the Nissan logo embroidered on different styles of beanie hats, because the client only had 3 days to hand knit & brand the beanies, we first had to produce patches in the style of a label that could then be sewn onto 8 of the beanies ready to send to Paris on the third day.

Black Sheep then had another week to embroider the Nissan logo directly onto the following 93 beanies. We specialise in working within our client’s short deadlines and still producing high quality embroidery.

If you are looking for custom knitted beanies branded with your logo, please contact us now for a quotation. We will get in contact with Grannies Inc to hand knit your beanie, and we will then embroider your logo.

Malnutrition around the Eastern Lowland Gorilla habitat and a way of facing it by the POPOF

The Kahuzi Biega National Park (KBNP) is surrounded by the communities of six different tribes as follows: the Rega, the Twa, the Shi, the Tembo, the Nyanga and the Kano. To penetrate the protected area is very illegal by the park law enforcement. Still a handful of them penetrate the park for bush meat, trapping, farming, mining and etc. They are all arrested and forced to pay fines despite their poverty level.

Guinea pigs receiving

Guinea pigs receiving

In the high land sector of the KBNP, The Shi and the Tembo tribes grow maize, sorghums,beans, soybeans,peanuts, pumkins, sweet potatoes, oil palm, rice, cassava and etc. They breed cows, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, guinea pigs etc. The malnutrition was at a lower level before the beginning of the war, and also before the massive flux of the Rwandan Refugees into DRC in 1994.
The communities surrounding the park were losing crops year by year since 1994 as ravaged by either refugees, different armed factions or government troops. The level of poverty augmented in these areas than before. Most of these people became displaced and live nowadays in small towns just to escape the troubles. In 2005 the Pole Pole Foundation “POPOF” began to distribute some guinea pigs to each family. Around 2000 families received a couple of guinea pigs (male and female) to breed. The malnutrition was very evident in the area, mostly in the children aged between 2-8.

Give food and let me grow. Who knows my futureThe communities which received the guinea pigs reproduced them and were able to sell some of them so as to buy clothes and to school their children, and also consume them themselves to feed their malnourished children. Despite being done at a small scale, it has been one of the solutions to alleviate some problems among villages around the KBNP. The POPOF provides boiled foods to the malnourished children. The food is made of maize, soybeans and sorghums flowers. A child would eat a cup of boiled food twice per day and consumes one piece of a guinea pig once a week. Weighing them regularly, the weight is adding often on a positive progress. This project is called “Give me food and let me grow, Who knows my future?”. Any one who would like to get involved in this junior project is VERY WELCOME.

National Texting Ban in Commercial Vehicles Now in Place

A new law recently passed has now placed a nation wide ban on texting while driving commercial vehicles. Made official Oct. 21 it includes penalties up to $2,750 and an $11,000 maximum for carriers, as well as sanctions including, for repeat offenders, disqualification from operating vehicles in interstate commerce. A texting conviction is now considered a serious traffic violation. Driver violators can be disqualified for 60 days if convicted of two separate violations in three years and 120 days if convicted of three or more violations in three years.

Under the new law texting includes a short message service, emailing, instant messaging, a request to access the Internet or any other form of electronic text retrieval or entry.

However, it does not include:

• Reading, selecting or entering a telephone or extension number, or voicemail retrieval codes and commands into an electronic device to make or receive a phone call or using voice commands to initiate or receive a phone call.

• Inputting, selecting, or reading a global positioning system or navigation system.

• Using fleet management systems, dispatching devices, smart phones, CBs or music players.

We are concerned about the safety of our drivers and ask that no one drive distracted. Accidents do happen and driving while texting increases those chances. We offer the best rates on commercial auto insurance to protect you in case of an accident. To make sure you are properly covered contact us at Berrier Insurance and we will review your commercial trucking insurance with you, providing detailed answers to any of your questions. Keep yourself safe, if you see a distracted driver stay clear of them! To read more of this article visit Truckers News.

What is it about?

jaw Larsen chief Commissioner is of the Bremen police. He is a Profiler. One of those specialists who are called in when the usual identification methods fail. Larsen transferred offender, he is moved a bit to you, in your Thinking, in your feeling world. The worldly-wise North German throws herself with such passion into the criminal souls, he takes off in brutal murders rather be home. Thus, the Evil is not absorbed, as he says. One of the few books, the main Commissioner Larsen on the heart, is not in vain “in Cold blood” by Truman Capote. The Journalist analyzed the mid-sixties, the slaughter of an entire family by two young people with a level of detail that many readers felt at the time of their execution, loss and compassion.

Unexplained cases make Larsen crazy. Especially this series of brutal murders between 1995 and 2001. Already after the first investigations, the chief inspector has a suspicion. Actually, he knows who the killer is. But he can’t nail him. There is evidence missing. Only Larsen understands the of any empathy-exempt logic of the highly intelligent killer. He is following a perfidious chemical System, and Larsen suspects that another murder is imminent. A race against time begins.

Why the audio book? Fullscreen

The True-Crime Thriller “The elements of death” of the former Bremer investigator Axel Petermann and the author Claus Cornelius Fischer there is in Audible to Download. The unabridged, 15 hour-long version, read by Sebastian Walch.

“elements of death” would actually be a normal part of a Thriller like “Silence of the lambs” or “Seven”. Exciting, engaging, and full of moments of horror at the view over the escarpment into the darkest human depths. However, at the end of the story, you step back from the abyss with the soothing feeling that Everything is just fiction! Not so with this audiobook. The story is based on one of the most brutal series of murders in the German criminal history. The killer, his cruel procedure, the insidious thoughts of the world, the dehumanization of the victims, to whom he assigns the blame for the own violent death. Author Axel Petermann has seen the case at the time of the Bremen police. The offender as a Profiler significantly transferred. It is this closeness to reality that makes this Thriller so gripping. The constant Horror of the banality of Evil, if behind the mask of an ordinary fellow human beings, the Monster lurks. Reasons for most cruel deeds, Petermann, its protagonists say, these are the reasons everyone has, it lacks only the right opportunity.

Who is speaking?

The sonorous and diverse voice of the little-known speaker Sebastian Walch transported too good at the crazy world of thoughts of the killer, Daniel Becker, and at the same time, his attraction to people, especially to women. Effortlessly, he switches to the voice of the older, classic main Commissioner Kiefer Larsen.

What sucks?

The team of authors Petermann and Claus Cornelius Fischer developed the over years case draw with very many time-back before the jumps, sometimes two months, sometimes a year. In the book, the work, audiobook“readers“ need not, however, bring a significant degree of attention, to get tangled up in the narrative levels.

thrillers, novels, biographies: These audiobooks could you Fullscreen

like In the historical crime novel “The silent death” of the “Babylon Berlin”-the Creator of Volker Kutscher, it is a reunion with Gereon Rath and Charlotte knights, who get to do it with a series of murders in the film industry.

Audio Visual Hire Gold Coast Benefits

July 17th, 2014 Posted by News No Comment yet

Have you tried to plan for a big corporate event such as an awarding ceremony? As you go through the list of things to prepare, you will surely get overwhelmed at the myriad of things to accomplish in many areas. One of the difficult type of tools to obtain is the audio visual equipment because there is no way you can purchase all the high-end equipment just for one use. You would be making a large investment when you reject the idea of audio visual hire in Gold Coast.

To be smart in your planning, you have to think of hiring people who are good in event planning as well. You can never do it alone if you want to preserve your energy and not stressed out with the preparations. Your people cannot be made responsible for preparing these things since they won’t be able to do their tasks when you are giving them extra work to do.

Besides, the preparation will take a long time, like three months to make things successful. Sometimes, the lack of time to prepare will be the cause why an awarding ceremony event won’t go as envisioned. Here are the great benefits of hiring your AV team from a reputable events management company:

Your hired audio visual team in Gold Coast will make sure that you are not troubled with little things such as speaker systems, the right microphone, lighting effects and professional video presentations. If you do not have an in-house team that will do your video production in Gold Coast, you have to make sure your video is presented in high quality resolution and the images are clear.

Video production is not that easy if you want to provide a good material for the audience to watch. There has to be proper voice over, musical score and the appropriate message to deliver to a select crowd. You may not realise that you are doing a very funny video for someone you want to award with excellence at work. That would do the person you want to acknowledge a great disservice.

It’s definitely a given that not all companies posses huge financial capacity when conducting an event is considered. Thus, for a small budget, you have the opportunity to use equipment that are highly competitive. Renting audio visual equipment is more cost-effective than buying because you only get to use them for a few occasions. You do not conduct an awarding ceremony on a monthly basis because that will be sure to wreck your company budget and disrupt the flow of work for some people who are responsible for many things, aside from overseeing that an event goes well as planned.

Easy Equipment Restoration

Can you imagine letting your people restore everything after the awarding ceremony? They would already be too dead beat to do extra work after their responsibilities from the office. Your team of audio visual hire in Gold Coast can guarantee that restoration can be made with little involvement on your part and you don’t have to worry about which equipment are missing. They make sure that everything is restored properly. All you have to do is accept one bill for every kind of work done for this event.

For additional information on video production in Gold Coast to support your preparations for a big event, please contact a Blue Shadows representative on 1300 767 755.

Joshua — Complete eBook

Georg Ebers
This eBook from the Gutenberg Project consists of approximately 376 pages of information about Joshua — Complete.

It was midnight.  A fire was blazing in front of Hosea’s tent, and he sat alone before it, gazing mournfully now into the flames and anon over the distant country.  Inside the canvas walls Ephraim was lying on his uncle’s camp-bed.

The surgeon who attended the soldiers had bandaged the youth’s wounds, given him an invigorating cordial, and commanded him to keep still; for the violence with which the fever had attacked the lad alarmed him.

But in spite of the leech’s prescription Ephraim continued restless.  Sometimes Kasana’s image rose before his eyes, increasing the fever of his over-heated blood, sometimes he recalled the counsel to become a warrior like his uncle.  The advice seemed wise—at least he tried to persuade himself that it was—because it promised honor and fame, but in reality he wished to follow it because it would bring her for whom his soul yearned nearer to him.

Then his pride rose as he remembered the insults which she and her father had heaped on those to whom by every tie of blood and affection, he belonged.  His hand clenched as he thought of the ruined home of his grandfather, whom he had ever regarded one of the noblest of men.  Nor was his message forgotten.  Miriam had repeated it again and again, and his clear memory retained every syllable, for he had unweariedly iterated it to himself during his solitary walk to Tanis.  He was striving to do the same thing now but, ere he could finish, his mind always reverted to thoughts of Kasana.  The leech had told Hosea to forbid the sufferer to talk and, when the youth attempted to deliver his message, the uncle ordered him to keep silence.  Then the soldier arranged his pillow with a mother’s tenderness, gave him his medicine, and kissed him on the forehead.  At last he took his seat by the fire before the tent and only rose to give Ephraim a drink when he saw by the stars that an hour had passed.

The flames illumined Hosea’s bronzed features, revealing the countenance of a man who had confronted many a peril and vanquished all by steadfast perseverance and wise consideration.  His black eyes had an imperious look, and his full, firmly-compressed lips suggested a quick temper and, still more, the iron will of a resolute man.  His broad-shouldered form leaned against some lances thrust crosswise into the earth, and when he passed his strong hand through his thick black locks or smoothed his dark beard, and his eyes sparkled with ire, it was evident that his soul was stirred by conflicting emotions and that he stood on the threshold of a great resolve.  The lion was resting, but when he starts up, let his foes beware!

His soldiers had often compared their fearless, resolute leader, with his luxuriant hair, to the king of beasts, and as he now shook his fist, while the muscles of his bronzed arm swelled as though they would burst the gold armlet that encircled them, and his eyes flashed fire, his awe-inspiring mien did not invite approach.

Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Reasons I Love Throne of Glass

Here's ten reasons I love Throne of Glass!Since I’m currently reading the Throne of Glass series and I’m absolutely loving it, I decided to make this week’s Top Ten Tuesday all about it! (Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish!) This week’s topic is “Reasons I love X.” I thought of about a hundred different topics, made a few lists and in the end decided to delete them all! Finally, I came to the conclusion Throne of Glass would be a great topic, so here it is: ten reasons I love Throne of Glass!

Ten Reasons I Love X — could be a certain book, character, author, your indie bookstore, a fandom, a tv show, reading, a hobby, a genre. Honestly anything you want to gush about.

1. The Books

Okay, this seems beyond obvious, but have you seen the stunning and beautiful hardcover editions of the series!? I’m all heart eyes for them and they look amazing on my shelf.

2. The Map

I am kind of obsessed with maps in books,  so Throne of Glass having this gorgeous map is definitely a reason why I love this series so much.

3. The Love Triangle

Anyone who’s read my reviews knows I’m really annoyed with love triangles! Like, so annoyed they bother me sometimes. Celaena, Dorian and Chaol are like my all time favourite love triangle, though! (Next to Tessa, Will and Jem from The Infernal Devices).

4. The Plot

I LOVE the plot. I’m reading Throne of Glass for the second time in three months but it never bores me!  It still all very mysterious and fun.

5. The Mystery

Like I said, I’m rereading it now. But a lot of things are still a mystery to me! I’m getting towards the end of the book now, so I’m starting to remember things, but I was a little oblivious before I got to this point, hehe!

6. The Fantasy

I’m a sucker for fantasy and to my opinion, Throne of Glass is really one of the better fantasy books. I love how I can’t say the world is historical or futuristic or dystopian because it’s a fantasy world! I LOVE the history too, like, I could read a history book about Erilea!

7. The Series

I’ve only read Throne of Glass so far, but books three to four are on my shelf, waiting to be read! I would’ve cried if this it was a standalone, really!

8. The Intimidating Sizes

The hardcover editions are big! Since I’ve started reading more, big books intimidate me a whole lot. Thing is, though, that I’m always so proud of myself for finishing such a massive book! I’ve gotten so far in Throne of Glass in a few days, while also taking enough time to enjoy reading it and it’s so much fun!

9. The Chapter Pages

I don’t know if these things have an actual name, but I love the start of new chapters. It’s not that special, but looks super pretty!

10. More books!

There’s still two more books coming! There’s also still three unread Throne of Glass books on my shelf… Hehe! I’m loving the cover or Empire of Storms and I cannot wait to see what book six will be like!

What topic did you pick for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday?

<![CDATA[Bpositive - Challenges Blog]]>Wed, 31 Oct 2018 02:38:35 -0700Weebly<![CDATA[Bpositive supporter Jack's faces his biggest fear with Las Vegas charity Skydive...]]>Mon, 21 Sep 2015 16:29:03 GMThttp://www.bpositive.org.uk/challenges-blog/bpositive-supporter-jacks-faces-his-biggest-fear-with-las-vegas-charity-skydiveFor most people who go on holiday to Las Vegas their biggest fear is coming home with an empty bank account, but for Bpositive supporter Jack Webster, he has a much bigger worry ahead. Jack, is taking time out of his vacation to test his fear of heights by attempting a skydive over the Nevada desert - all with a view of raising awareness and funds for Bpositive.

Jack caught up with Bpositive to tell us more about his challenge and what has motivated him to jump out of an aeroplane for Bpositive.

Tell us about your challenge, Jack.

I've spent the past 6 months putting together my bucket list. I have a lot of adrenaline type challenges on there, the biggest being the skydive. The final Item on my bucket list is to raise £10,000 for charity. Seeing as I have a terrible fear of heights, I thought this one would be a good start to raise some money with.

Where did the inspiration come from?
I just want to achieve as much as I physically can in my life. I don't want to get to eighty and realise I spent so much time working and worrying about bills that I forgot to do everything I dreamed of doing. If I can do this and raise a lot of money at the same, then even better.

Why was raising money for charity important to you?
I did a sponsored Triathlon last summer and I've just wanted to do more and more ever since. It just makes me feel happy to know I'm helping other people.

What made you choose Bpositive?
Bpositive is a charity that I can really relate to. Leukaemia is something that has affected my Family a lot. From Jonjo going through it in 2006 to having two family members going through it now. I currently have a Uncle in hospital receiving Chemo ready for my Mom to donate stem cells to him. When I decided I was going to do the skydive there was really no other choice. My Uncle Paul will be at the forefront of my mind throughout the jump.

How does it feel to be testing yourself against your biggest fear?
To be honest I always pick something that is a real challenge as I feel it's more likely to raise more money. The incentive to sponsor me on this one is that I won't be releasing the video until I hit the £400 target. Donating is a small price to pay to see a grown man cry.

Do you have any other plans to fundraise through adrenalin steel challenges?
Yes I have quite a number of things on the bucket list that I will be looking to get sponsored for so watch this space....

How do you think you'll feel after coming your challenge?
I think when the challenge is finished I'll be wanting a stiff drink but I'll definitely be feeling pumped for my next challenge.

What message do you hope your challenge will convey to other people wishing to follow in your foot steps?
I'm hoping it will show people that anything is achievable. I've done a few sponsored events in the past 18 months, all of them have been ones that seemed out of my reach. I managed to complete the Birmingham half marathon whilst being quite unfit and having previously only ran 4 miles in one go. I really believe in mind over matter and that anything is achievable if you want it enough.

Is raising £10K for charity going to be the biggest challenge of all from your bucket list?
Although it's going to be a big challenge, I don't think it will be the biggest challenge, I'm expecting this bucket list to take quite a few years to complete so I think it's very achievable.

Finally, what makes you Bpositive?
For me, it's seeing the way people rally together when it comes to raising funds and awareness or dealing with difficult situations. You never have to look far to see a community ready to lend a hand. I have people I hardly know sponsoring me just because deep down everybody likes to help. It's that kind of thing that allows someone like me with a crippling fear of heights to jump out of a perfectly good aeroplane!

<![CDATA[Kristy's triple challenge blog as her first event grows ever near...]]>Thu, 01 May 2014 20:58:07 GMThttp://www.bpositive.org.uk/challenges-blog/kristys-triple-challenge-blog-as-her-first-event-grows-ever-nearSo it’s been a month since I started properly training for these runs and I must admit, I have been surprised at how well I have done so far. If you had said to me last month that I would be able to comfortably run 10k I would have laughed, 4 miles being the furthest I had even ran. Don’t misunderstand me; it hasn’t been easy.

I have blood blisters all over my feet and other unmentionable body complaints. I have trained in rain, wind, hail and sandstorms and of course sunshine which is by far my favourite training condition. Last Friday, I pushed myself to do a 10 mile run. It was raining and windy and cold and I am thankful that I had one of my friends alongside me because if it hadn’t been for her I would have stopped – it was so hard! I’m conscious that so far I have been mostly running on the flat, but the course I will be taking for the half marathon takes in some of the delightfully hilly Fylde coast countryside, so I will be stepping it up and doing some more runs on an incline – can’t wait! So with a week and a bit to go until the 10k, my running number arrived yesterday and I am trying to fit in some training alongside one of the busiest times of the year at work.

I am away for the majority of next week so more than a little concerned about how I will fare come Sunday, but all I can do is my best (and if I smash an hour whilst doing it I will be over the moon!).

As hard as it’s been so far, it’s for a great cause and the thought of all the people I am helping is what keeps me going. So if you haven’t already, please do sponsor me. Anything you can contribute would be so appreciated.

I’ll update you following the race next week...

Against expectations, no evidence that toddlers with older siblings have superior Theory of Mind

02 August 2017

When young kids play together there’s often a lot of negotiation involved: “That’s my bunny”, “No, it’s mine”, “OK, you have it”. There’s talk of emotion: “Why are you crying?”, “You took my bunny”. And role-play: “You be baddie”, “No, I’m super-bunny”. Perhaps it shouldn’t be too surprising then that a recent meta-analysis found that young kids, aged 3 to 7, with more siblings have superior Theory of Mind (understanding other people’s mental states and perspectives – an important ability that benefits social and academic performance at school).

A new study in Journal of Cognition and Development asks whether the sibling advantage begins as early as toddlerhood, and whether it matters if a toddler’s sibling is older or younger. In fact, against expectations, toddlers with an older sibling showed no Theory of Mind advantage compared with only children, and toddlers with a younger sibling actually performed worse.

Élizabel Leblanc and her colleagues tested 227 two-year-olds (113 boys) on two age-appropriate Theory of Mind tasks. One was focused on perspective-taking and required the toddlers to show their mother a toy and in the process deal with various challenges, such the fact she had her eyes closed or was facing the wrong way. The other task pertained to diverging interests: the toddlers had to choose a book to give the researcher, either a children’s book for which she’d previously expressed dislike or an adult book.

Can fuel economy tips help your company’s productivity?

Imagine this:

You’re driving on a highway during a nice sunny day. The windows are down, the music is up, and you’ve set your cruise control at 70 mph. You pass a truck that was going 65 mph. The road is flat, and you can see a downhill followed immediately by an uphill of roughly the same elevation.

As you begin the downhill, you notice the truck you just passed gaining on you. Slowly at first, but now this truck is barreling down this hill. Are his brakes out? Did you do something to tick him off?

New wireless routers increase speedThe truck flies by you as you begin the uphill stretch of road, but then his breakneck speeds decline until he is back at his original 65 mph speed. Meanwhile, about halfway up the uphill stretch, your cruise control kicks in with force and your RPM gauge jumps.

Has this happened to you? What was the truck driver doing?

First, we need to ask “What is the motivation of the truck driver?”. It can simply stated that the truck driver wants to reach the destination using the least resources (time and gas).

Does that sound familiar? Do your tasks, projects, goals share the same mission?

The truck driver wanted to avoid the pitfall that your “unintelligent” cruise control succumbed to. The truck driver knew an uphill was ahead and utilized the momentum of the downhill to be able to achieve resource leveling on the uphill thereby getting better fuel economy and maintaining his average desired speed.

In the same way, we can look for opportunities to “accelerate into” difficult or demanding circumstances.

Have you experienced either this real world example or in your workplace?
