Whether it was about tipping, the stock market or savings habits, people had a lot of bad opinions in 2018. And rather than keep our bad opinions to ourselves, we took to the web to fan the flames of internet outrage.
OK, not every article listed here is exactly bad. Some are educational, or highlight how different people view and use money. But the conversations they engendered weren't always, well, productive. Here's looking back at the financial articles, tweets and conversations that missed the mark in 2018.
Look, this is one of those articles that in itself wasn't bad—in fact, I almost put it in the "best of 2018" post—but the conversation surrounding it seemed to devolve to the point where if you aren't making $17/hour saddled with $100k in student loan debt you didn't deserve to have an opinion on it. If you're not on Twitter, you probably missed this "controversy," and good for you.
Personally I found this worth a read because it's an inside look into how exactly those 22-year-old gallery assistants are living in the penthouse and eating take out every day on less-than-minimum wage. If you live in any high cost of living area, you're familiar with those people, and you might feel down on yourself for not being able to afford the same lifestyle as they do. But the money diarist lets you in on the secret: It has nothing to do with you and how hard you work, because you don't have generations of family members helping you out. We all "knew" it, but now we know with certainty. That's the appeal of R29's Money Diaries, and this was a banner year for them.
Sam, I hope you paid attention to the response to this article and now care enough to tip 18 per cent.
Look, I get that this is advertising for Wealthsimple, and in that regard the marketing person who put it together hit it out of the park. This article, in which a "couple" discusses their debt and spending habits, is one of the most stressful non-political articles I read in 2018. I could actually feel my face burning up as "Kate" and "Tom" worked through all of their decisions. I typically don't want to judge people, but at a certain point, enough is enough, isn't it? You have to make one responsible choice now and then, even if by accident or inertia?
I'm pretty sure it's just an ad, right? These people can't be real. Right? Anyway, congrats to Wealthsimple for this one.
The president tweeted many head-scratching things about money and the markets this year, but this one stuck with me. Why didn't he just write great, instead of "good (great)?" Does he think the Stock Market is a sentient being? Why is Stock Market capitalised? So many questions from so few characters.
Here's the Tip of the Day: don't talk about money with anyone other than your immediate family if it is absolutely necessary. Nothing good comes from yakking about personal finances. Money stimulates jealousy.
Look, buddy, leave the savings tips to us, OK? It's not bad enough that, as Nick wrote, you're a sexual predator, but your "advice" is just bad. Do you really want to model your life after the guy who shelled out $US45 ($64) million to cover up at least six different sexual assault cases?
This was the year the internet decided it was no longer tolerable for personal finance websites to publish savings guidepost articles. And I get it—the articles, which I've written, are usually a fallback when something sparks up in the news—X celeb (or politician) has $Y saved, but how much should they really have socked away? Readers are understandably irritated by articles like these — yes, we all know we should have more save, but when student loan debt is at an all time high, rent eats away more than half of our paychecks each month, employers are only interested in hiring permalancers and benefits and insurance get stingier every year, it's hard to read just how far behind you really are on the path to financial freedom.
Over on Twitter, some people are roasting MarketWatch for an article originally published in January that says you should have double your salary saved by the time you're 35.
That said, there's nothing wrong with having guideposts. Many people find them helpful. But personal finance websites, including this one, would do better to interrogate the structural reasons so many of us are having a hard time saving and investing, rather than writing the same basic article over and over again.
He tweeted he was taking Tesla private, sparking an SEC investigation, and said people should work 80 to 100 hours per week if they want to change the world, among many other inane non-money related things. Mr. Musk, in 2019: Step away from the Twitter machine.
Here's some better advice: Don't do what some random 19-year-old tells you to do, especially if it's investing in something you don't understand. Really I could have picked any article about "investing" in crypto that was published this year but this headline is perfectly illustrative of the grift, in my view. Of note: The author does go on to caution readers, but sometimes you have to wonder if the headline is worth the traffic, particularly when it comes to people's money.
So, will things get better in 2019? Probably not. But here's to reading more quality content in the New Year.

Extrait :Searching for Stars on an Island in Maine : Alan Lightman

In recent years, I've gotten to know a prominent Buddhist monk in Cambodia by the name of Yos Hut Khemacaro. His friends call him Khema. He was born in 1948 in a little farming village in the province of Prey Veng and went to a primary school there administered by monks. At the age of ten, as he now vividly recalls, he was "attracted to learn wisdom" and began studying Buddhism. Eventually he was ordained a monk himself. In 1973, Khema started working with the United Nations on human rights, in Australia and Thailand. After the devastation of the Khmer Rouge genocide in the mid- to late 1970s, during which monks were targeted along with all educated people, Khema returned to Cambodia and played a major role in rebuilding the Buddhist monkhood there.
I was hoping that he might help me fathom my communion with the stars that summer night in Maine and other experiences I'd not understood. Buddhism embodies an interesting mix of beliefs. The Four Noble Truths would appear to reside within the realm of the Absolutes, while the Buddhist doctrine of impermanence is a Relative.
Wat Lanka is a large temple complex containing several pagodas, patios and walkways, and living quarters for some two hundred monks. The magnificent front gate rises forty feet high and is guarded by stone lions on both sides. As soon as you step through that arched edifice, you leave behind the steady drone of motors and the shouting of street sellers—and enter a realm of serenity. Slowly, I walked past the goldleaf pagodas. I passed obelisk-like stone stupas and scattered stone pots filled with red and pink bougainvillea. I passed through courtyards with young men in orange robes quietly strolling in pairs. Eventually, I came to Khema's living quarters, a tiny house at the back end of the complex. We sat under some trees. A faint scent of jasmine wafted through the air.
Under the trees, Khema and I began discussing modern physics and cosmology. I had brought him one of my own books on the subject. "Buddhism is in complete agreement with science," Khema said slowly and smiled. Then he added, "Science puts in more details." Khema explained the Buddhist belief that the universe has gone through an infinite number of cycles in the past and will go through an infinite number of cycles in the future. When I mentioned to him that modern cosmologists have evidence that the universe will continue expanding without further cycles, he laughed. Perhaps he thought it was preposterous that science could know such a thing. Or perhaps he thought it delightful that science could know such a thing. While we were talking, Khema's sister, an ancient nun with a shaved head, appeared from somewhere and silently served us tea. I noticed that her hands were wrinkled and worn, like the cracked yellow paint on the walls of Khema's house.
I asked Khema how Buddhists know that the universe has already gone through an infinite number of cycles. He said that knowledge comes from the Buddha, one of whose names is lokavidū, the "knower of worlds." "The Buddha knew everything," said Khema. He took out a pen and scribbled down some books I should read. His writing was slow and deliberate, like himself. We stopped talking. In the distance, I could
hear the rise and fall of monks' chanting, soft like the sound of the wind, unintelligible. I had no idea what time it was.
During my visit with Khema, he mentioned the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism: First, that life is filled with suffering. Second, that the origin of suffering is the craving and clinging to impermanent things. Third, that the suffering of life can be ended. And fourth, that the path to that end is through meditation, selfdiscipline, and mindful living. Although the Buddha first articulated the Four Noble Truths 2,500 years ago, Khema was careful to make clear that we come to these truths through our own experience with the world. But on other matters, such as their belief in the infinite cycles of the universe, Buddhists base their convictions exclusively on the words of the Buddha, a human being born as Siddhārtha Gautama, later known as the lokavidū, the "knower of worlds." I thought to myself: How do we know that the Buddha was the knower of worlds? Were Einstein and Darwin also knowers of worlds? The truths and laws that we believe about the physical and spiritual worlds—why do we believe them? And on what authority
The concept of a law goes back at least four thousand years. Long before laws for the physical world, the ancient Assyrians articulated their Code of Ur-Nammu. Those first laws were, of course, rules for behavior in human society. Quantifiable only in the number of shekels of silver owed or quarts of salt poured into the mouth for each specified infraction. For example: "If a man proceeded by force and deflowered the virgin slavewoman of another man, that man must pay five shekels of silver."
The Four Noble Truths of Buddhism—are they laws? Perhaps they are simply observations of the human condition. Certainly religious traditions have rules governing behavior, similar to the Code of Ur-Nammu. Not that human beings will always necessarily behave according to certain rules, as a dropped stone will necessarily fall to the ground. But various theological traditions command us human beings to behave according to certain rules. For example, "Thou shalt not kill," the sixth of the Ten Commandments. Or, from the Qur'an: "He [Allah] loves those who keep themselves pure and clean…When ye prepare for prayer, wash your faces, and your hands (and arms) to the elbows; rub your heads (with water); and (wash) your feet to the ankles." Such daily routines as the manner of washing before prayer may seem mundane and insignificant, but when they are described in the Qur'an and considered the word of Allah, they are elevated to laws. Likewise, the statement that the relief of mortal suffering is to be had through meditation might seem like an opinion or a bit of philosophy or a page from a self-help book. But when it is uttered by the "knower of worlds," it takes on the imperative of a law, or an absolute truth. (Here and in the following chapters, I use the words "law" and "truth" interchangeably, with the recognition that I am not being quite precise. I take a law to be a statement that expresses a truth. In science, laws are almost always expressed in quantitative and mathematical form.)
Quotations from the sacred books are used to declare truths ranging from the origin of the universe to the question of free will to the details of reproductive biology. For example, Saint Thomas Aquinas makes a difficult philosophical argument against the Aristotelian view that the universe has existed forever, but then falls back on Scripture for his authority:
Potentiality is prior in time to actuality (although actuality is prior in nature), yet, absolutely speaking, actuality must be prior to potentiality, as is clear from this, that potentiality is not reduced to actuality except by some actual being. But matter is being in potentiality. Therefore God, first and pure actuality, must be absolutely prior to matter, and consequently cause thereof. This truth divine Scripture confirms, saying: In the beginning God created heaven and earth.
I respect the notions of God and other divine beings. However, I insist on one thing. I insist that any statements made by such beings and their prophets about the material world, including statements recorded in the sacred books, must be subject to the experimental testing of science. In my view, the truths of such statements cannot be assumed. They must be tested and revised or rejected as needed. The spiritual world, and the world of the Absolutes, have their own domain. The physical world should be the province of science.

President Donald Trump has suggested the idea of arming teacher and school staff as a preventative measure against future High School shootings, as he met with Flordia shooting survivors who are demanding solutions.
Although Trump's proposal is still in discussions stages, the President noted that such a practice was successful on airplanes.
Undercover Federal Air Marshals carry weapons on many US flights in order to prevent possible highjacking or attacks on passengers.
Trump estimates that 20 percent of teachers and staff armed with firearms could "thwart" potential attacks before they happen.
Ben Bennight, a Mississippi bail bondsman warned the FBI 5 months prior to the shooting but to no avail.
Ar the FBI doing their job?
According to surviving student who escaped shooter Nikolaz Cruz, she repeatedly warned their school of his escalating 'disturbing behavior', was totally ignored.
RT reports: "If you had a teacher with, who was adept at firearms, they could very well end the attack very quickly... And we're going to be looking at it very strongly, and I think a lot of people are going to be opposed to it, I think a lot of people are going to like it," Trump said at a 'listening session' at the White House on Wednesday, that included some Florida school shooting survivors.
. Undercover Federal Air Marshals carry weapons on many US flights. Trump somehow estimated that just 20 percent of teachers and staff armed with guns could effectively thwart potential attacks on school property.
"The attack has lasted on average about three minutes. It takes 5-8 minutes for the responders, for the police to come in," Trump said, explaining the argument for arming school staff.
Last Wednesday, a teenager armed with an AR-15 opened fire on students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, killing 17 people and injuring over a dozen more. The perpetrator, identified as 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz, was detained shortly after the shooting and later confessed to the crime.
Students, parents and family members of Florida massacre victims raised their voices at the commander-in-chief, urging the president with tears in their eyes to find a solution to the gun problem, which continues to plague US schools.
Responding to their pain, Trump promised to be "very strong on background checks" and place a "very strong emphasis" on mental health as part of the solution to the deadly problem. "It's not gonna be talk like it has been in the past. It's been going on too long. Too many instances. And we're going to get it done," Trump said.
Not everyone welcomed Trump's idea of arming teachers. Mark Barden, the father of one of the victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre in Connecticut, noted that any would-be shooter "is not going to care if there's someone there with a gun" working at the school premises.

NASA astronaut Lee Morin '74 s talks with students about his many hours of walking in space.
When Lee Morin '74 first stepped onto the UNH campus as a freshman, NASA was only one year removed from its 1969 moon landing.
Today, in the midst of a decorated career in service to the nation, the astronaut is charged with helping send humans farther into space than they've ever gone before as part of NASA's Orion Mission.
For his accomplishments to space exploration and more, Morin was honored as the 2017 College of Engineering and Physical Sciences (CEPS) Distinguished Alumni Award recipient during a ceremony held Sept.28. The CEPS Alumni Society gives the award annually in recognition of outstanding contributions to society with an emphasis placed on enhancing the image of UNH.
"It is a great honor to have the university recognize me," says Morin, who previously received the Granite State Award during the 2010 commencement ceremony. "When I come back to campus, it is always an emotional rush for me. UNH has a special place in my life.
NASA astronaut Lee Morin is the 2017 recipient of the CEPS Distinguished Alumni Award.
Following the award ceremony, Morin held two additional events on campus. He says the most rewarding part of the day was speaking with students.
Morin says that the progress he's witnessed in science and technology over his career has been reflected in the progress made on the UNH campus. He was delighted to see the campus has retained its character but also grown and expanded facilities to create more opportunities in what he called the golden era of engineering and technology.
Though decades passed between graduation and his first journey to space in 2002, he credits his time at UNH in serving as a launching pad for his career. Morin worked on several research projects as an undergraduate student, including a laser project in the physics department, building a synthesizer in the electronic music studio and working on an offshore mining study through the math department.
Following graduation from UNH, Morin attended New York University and received a Master of Science degree in biochemistry in 1978, a medical doctorate in 1981, and a doctorate in microbiology in 1982. He then served in the Navy for more than a decade before being selected as an astronaut candidate by NASA in 1996 and was later assigned to International Space Station training. He took his maiden voyage into space in 2002 on the spacewalking (EVA) crew of STS-110 and has spent more than 259 hours in space.
Morin, who has logged more 14 spacewalk hours, is currently working on the cockpit of the Orion Multipurpose Crew Vehicle. Once completed, it is expected to carry the crew to space, provide emergency-abort capability, sustain the crew during the space travel and provide safe re-entry for deep space return velocities.
Wayne Jones, dean of CEPS, says the college is fortunate to have graduates such as Morin who have been successful in a wide variety of career paths.

A Cursory Glance at the Jonesboro Herald and Tribune, May 1892
A May 1892 Jonesboro Herald and Tribune newspaper offered a diversity of news reports and low priced ads from the surrounding area:
An Advertisement from 1892
"Green coffee, 15 cents a pound at The Bee Hive, Johnson City."
"Misses Addie Patton, Bonnie Broyles and Ada Roach attended commencement exercises at Washington College last week."
"Does your watch need repairing? If so, take it to I.N. Beckner, Johnson City, who guarantees satisfaction on all work in his line."
"Charles A. Ross of The Twinklings returned Monday night from a week's visit to Washington College and vicinity. He reports a lively time."
"Brooms 10 cents each, best tea 50 cents a pound, good tea 40 cents a pound, sugar 23 pounds for $1. Pure drugs and medicines at The Bee Hive."
"Miss Dolly Johnson, one of the ladies who leaped from the Loveman Block during the great fire in Chattanooga, is in the city visiting Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Taggart."
"J.T. Browing, editor of the Staff and President of the Alumni Association of Washington College, attended commencement exercises at that place last week."
"As H.P. Little left the city last Saturday afternoon on Train 1 , he was singing, "Home, Sweet Home." We can't say where he landed, but to our surprise, he returned Sunday night."
"Miss Gertie Hilbert, after a protracted stay in the city, returned to her home near Matuta (Washington County community, no longer in existence) Thursday morning, accompanied by the heart of one of our best young men. She would have taken him, but he could not leave his mother."
"The event that has been so long looked for by the society people of Johnson City was consummated last Wednesday evening by the marriage of R.S. Boyd to Miss Forme Barkley, one of the most charming and accomplished young ladies. The knot was tied by Rev. J.C. Atkins at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Will Harr on Fairview Avenue. A reception was tendered the happy couple at the Hotel Carnegie by the young men of the city and never before has such an elegant reception been given in Johnson City."
"Attention, GAR (Grand Army of the Republic): Jonesboro Post No. 85, Department of Tennessee, GAR is hereby called to meet in a called meeting at 2 p.m. sharp, on Friday, May 27, 1892, for the special purpose of taking proper steps to observe Memorial Day.

"Owing to the settlement of the affairs of the CC&O Railroad, the Iron Belt Land Company of Johnson City has decided to have a sale of lots in their magnificent addition, West Park, in Johnson City, on June 1 and 2."
And finally: "The prohibitionists of Washington County are hereby called to meet in mass convention in the court house in Jonesboro on Monday, June 6, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for representative and a full or partial county ticket, as may be deemed most advisable.

Jonathan O'Neill
Jonathan has more than 20 years' experience in the wine industry, most recently as Angove Family Winemakers' regional export manager.
Jonathan spent 11 years with the long-standing South Australian wine business, developing markets in Asia and Europe and also taking on a trading role managing vintage sales. Prior to this position, he worked for 10 years at Plantagenet Wines in Western Australia's Great Southern region where he was responsible for the winery's sales and marketing and helped more than double the business during that decade. Jonathan has an Associate Diploma in Wine Marketing, an Agricultural Business Degree and a Master of Business Administration, all gained at the University of Adelaide.
Brother John May, SJ AM
Jesuit Winemaker Emeritus
The last in line of seven Jesuit winemakers at Sevenhill Cellars, Brother May's distinguished career began when he arrived in the Clare Valley in 1963. He was soon immersed in viticulture and winemaking and his stewardship as winemaker/manager saw the emergence of Sevenhill's reputation for quality table wines, the growth of its cellar door operation and visitor recognition of Sevenhill as a notable location of religious and heritage character. Brother May retired as winemaker in early 2003, assuming the title of Jesuit Winemaker Emeritus. Brother May's contribution to the wine industry was recognised as one of the initial inductees to the Clare Valley Wine Hall of Fame in 2014 and with life membership of the Winemakers' Federation of Australia in 2004. He was admitted as a member in the General Division of the Order of Australia (AM) in the Queen's Birthday Honours' List in 2016 in recognition of his significant service to winemaking and through contributions to professional associations, to regional tourism and to the Catholic Church in Australia.
Will Shields
Sevenhill Cellars opened a new winemaking chapter in January 2019 with the appointment of Will Shields. Will has more than 25 years' experience as a winemaker, with major stints in Western Australia's Margaret River region and New Zealand. His love of wine was sparked from his upbringing in the Hunter Valley where his parents owned Oakvale Vines. Will studied at South Australia's Roseworthy College, before earning his stripes in WA, receiving a string of accolades – as many as 50 awards – during his time at Vasse Felix and Clairault. After nearly four years in New Zealand at The Wine Portfolio, Will returned to Australia in 2016, joining Kirrihill Wines in the Clare Valley. Allowing fruit to express itself is at the heart of Will's approach to winemaking, using a soft hand to achieve balanced, elegant wines.
Vineyard Manager
Craig joined Sevenhill Cellars in 1999, when he was appointed Vineyard Manager. His viticultural philosophy focuses on biological farming principles, which incorporate sustainable practices that have low environmental impact and enhance the natural balance and health of the soil. Craig is passionate in his belief that these principles are significant in producing grapes that are fruit-driven, the key to making the best possible wines. Craig is a member of the Clare Valley Vine Improvement Society and sat for a term on the Phylloxera & Grape Industry Board of South Australia.
Tony Worthington
Tony's sales focus comes after working in a wide variety of roles in the wine industry. After a background in hospitality, Tony joined the industry in 2004, working as a vintage cellar hand at Penfold's Magill Estate.

We invite you to our Slack chat (link in main menu). We cant be there 24/7 but we will respond your question there ASAP!

A: Since you used Emulated ViewEncapsulation(default) option which adds extra unique attribute to component style and DOM elements. So when you want to apply some styling on specific element that resides in current component HTML or its descendant tree. Then you could use /deep/ before CSS style Rule.
But sooner /deep/, >>> and ::ng-deep option gonna drop. Angular team recommend to use ::ng-deep so use that instead.
::ng-deep .accordion-item a {
    /*CSS Rule as is*/

Das Germaniadenkmal im Essener Stadtteil Borbeck-Mitte steht auf dem danach benannten Germaniaplatz.

Denkmal und Geschichte
Das Germaniadenkmal wurde von der damaligen Bürgermeisterei Borbeck aufgestellt und am 17. Oktober 1880 feierlich enthüllt. Es steht auf dem später am 30. April 1891 danach benannten Germaniaplatz, der durch die Kirchengemeinde St. Dionysius von 1840 bis 1857 als Friedhof genutzt wurde. Mehr als 2500 Verstorbene fanden hier die letzte Ruhestätte. Der Direktor des Phoenix-Hochofenwerks in Bergeborbeck und Beigeordnete der Bürgermeisterei Borbeck, Friedrich Lange (1837–1918), war Vorsitzender des Denkmalkomitees.

Damit soll an die deutschen Einigungskriege von 1866 sowie 1870/71 erinnert und die Gefallenen geehrt werden. Der Düsseldorfer Bildhauer Leo Müsch hat es erschaffen. Die steinerne Standfigur der Germania mit Schwert und Lorbeerkranz und dem Reichsadler zu ihren Füßen steht auf einem gestuften Sandsteinsockel an der Stelle des alten Friedhofs. Als Vorbild diente die Germaniafigur des Niederwalddenkmals bei Rüdesheim am Rhein. Die Inschrift des Borbecker Denkmals lautet:
Dazu befindet sich eine Tafel mit Namen von Gefallenen an der rechten Seite des Sockels:

Im Jahr 2014 fand eine Sanierung des oberen Teils des Denkmals durch einen Steinmetz-Betrieb aus Duisburg statt. Dieser setzte ab Juni 2017 die Sanierung fort, indem der Sockel samt Inschriften restauriert wurde. Zum seit 2005 jährlich stattfindenden Germaniafest wurde das Denkmal im August 2017 fertiggestellt.

Das Germaniadenkmal wurde am 9. Juli 1992 in die Denkmalliste der Stadt Essen eingetragen.

Chris' fierce beard
All about beards is happy to welcome Chris to the featured beards on beards.org! Chris is blessed with a true "power beard". Although Chris is a veteran facial-hair grower, the full beard is relatively new to him. Over the last year, he has been honing his skills on how to really optimize his impressive full beard. With a little help from information and advice from beards.org, Chris' full beard has become a great success that commands attention and respect wherever he goes. Excellent job, Chris!
UPDATE: Be sure to also see Chris' fierce beard: growing stronger.
Let's have Chris introduce himself now:
Hi. I'm Chris and I am a bearded man… Wait, this isn't beard anonymous. And it's pretty hard to be anonymous while sporting a full beard! Although I was born and raised on a farm in Canada, I'm a city boy at heart and have lived in California, Texas, and Alabama! I've had my full beard for less than a year, but I've had some sort of facial hair for almost twenty years now! Since I've had my beard, I've had endless comparisons to "Duck Dynasty", ZZ Top, Grizzly Adams, Zac Brown, Santa, Yukon Cornelius, and even the original Brawny Paper Towels guy (although he only had a mustache). I've even had spontaneous invitations from strangers to compete in an upcoming beard contest. Honestly, about 90% of the feedback is positive, while there are a few out there who just don't like it. I think a 90% approval-rating is pretty amazing, eh U.S. Congress? I've also noticed a bearded-man camaraderie, the friendly nod and approval from other bearded guys. It's kind of like a fraternity without all the hazing to get in!
P.S. My beard regularly gets swag now. I was on a business trip with an employee and we had a few hours to kill in Phoenix before our flight. So we stopped at a trendy bar for a drink. When we walked in, a guy at the bar made immediate eye contact and ran over. My employee asked who that was and I told her I had no idea. He's a US Marine, there with his wife, and told me I was sporting his dream beard and proceeded to buy us BOTH drinks. There was a similar occurence at the House of Blues in Chicago. Also, while shopping the Magnificent Mile in Chicago, I met a DJ who hosts a hot party at Sound Bar. He's a bearded guy as well and wanted to encourage men like us at his parties. He set me up with a VIP area for me and friends, with a few free drinks as well. All this sounds like a fairy tale, but I have witnesses of each occurrence! So, newly added to my "Why do I have a beard?" list: The free stuff!
Now scroll on down to read Chris' beard story. Then, be sure to visit Chris's photo album.

What do you think about beards?
I think a man's beard is a gift. I have always taken my beard for granted and assumed that everyone has the same beard potential, but that isn't true. I am regularly reminded of that now that I have a full beard. Men from all walks of life tell me that they are jealous of my beard, that they wish they had a beard like mine. But so many men have patchy beards or are lacking features that make their beards undesirable in their eyes. I'm glad that my beard is there for me when I want it to be.
What do you think a beard says about a man?
A man's beard is a physical display of his commitment. Just like a muscled body or a well-honed craft, a solid beard takes effort, dedication, and sacrifice to reach its potential. But most of all, the most successful beard oozes confidence. When you have accepted your hairy face with pride, it goes with everything, from tuxedo to birthday suit and everything in between.
Why do you grow your beard now?
I have had some level of scruff for the last twenty years: goatees, full face, etc., but just last summer I started down the journey of letting my beard grow out. Honestly, the attention I receive has been staggering. Friends, family, and even strangers have been so complimentary; it makes me wonder why I didn't do it sooner.
Do you know of anyone in your family having a beard before you?
Many of my uncles have been bearded for years. As a kid, I always associated it with their generation, not mine. It wasn't until I met some guys my age with spectacular beards that I even considered it.
Do you remember from childhood ever wanting to have a beard when you grew up?
Honestly, no, I don't. I badly wanted hairy legs, though! LOL.
What led you to your decision to grow your first beard?
The summer between my freshman and sophomore years in university, I was living with my sister so I could do some farm work for extra money. She's a beard hater. So naturally, I grew a goatee and 'stache. Then, when it was time to go back to school, I decided to keep it because my new roommate was also a beard hater. I guess you could say I grew it to be a jerk. LOL. At some point, I decided to shave it off. It was that point I realized how great my face looks with hair on it. I started growing it back immediately.
When did you grow your first beard?
I started letting my full beard grow out last summer. I was working on a project on the east coast with some tough cookies and thought a big ole beard would add to my intensity. And it demanded respect, just like I thought it would.
How did your first beard turn out?
My first facial hair attempt was a goatee. But it was the 1990s, so that was cool. I had to shave the little bare squares under my lip in order to get the look that I was expecting.
What did it feel like to see yourself with a beard for the first time?
That was pretty strange. I was really young, like nineteen, and always had such a baby face. It made me feel and look more grown up.
What happened to your first beard?
I think I had some sort of trimming incident. LOL. I'm sure all bearded guys can relate. I think I destroyed it trying to fix my mistakes and ended up just shaving it off altogether.
How long was it before you grew another beard?
I started growing it back immediately.
What brought you back to the beard?
My face just looked like it was missing something.
What do you think of the full beard versus other beard styles?
I think a full beard is the best way to really express your masculinity with your facial hair. It shows your natural beard tendencies instead of just a patch of scruff.
However, I've sported and have an appreciation for all styles of facial hair.
Have you tried any other style other than the full beard?
Oh yeah: goatee, goatee with mustache, chin strap, long sideburns… Yep.
In 2012 you went bigger and longer with your beard than usual. Was that the most you'd ever let it grow?
Before summer 2012, I had never let it get very long. So yes, this was my first venture into full beardedness.
What did you think of your bigger and longer beard?
I really loved it. But more than that, so many other people loved it, too! Wow. I get a lot of attention because of this thing!
Do you find yourself being something of a perfectionist with respect to your beard? How does that work out?
Great question! Yes, and that is something I've had to address with myself. As a scruffy guy, I was able to maintain my facial hair easily with trimmers. I would edge it up, even it out, etc., to keep a very "neat" look. However, I'm way past using guards with my trimmer to maintain my beard. My partner tells me all the time that he likes my beard best first thing in the morning when it is CRAZY. LOL. I haven't accepted that yet, but I have relaxed quite a bit with my "expectation" of a perfect beard.
After growing your beard out longer, you suffered a trimming incident. What happened?
Well, I didn't know how to maintain a full beard, so I went to a barber for help. I told him that I wanted to keep the length in the front, and taper it back to be tighter by the ears. Fifteen seconds later, I had a giant dent on the side where he went after it with a guard! Like a four! I stopped him and went home and finished the massacre myself. This was in October. So I think I've recovered pretty well.
Do you trim and shape the beard yourself?
I have let a couple of barbers attempt to help, usually with disappointment. But I did learn the "freehand" style of trimming from them and yes, I do it myself now.
How did you learn to trim and shape your beard?
Trial, error, and tears.
You have had higher and lower cheek lines on your full beard. What's the story on that?
Keeping my cheek lines even is a skill I have not yet mastered. I don't think my face is very symmetrical. So I wind up with different looks on each side. In an attempt to correct, time and time again, I wind up going from a high cheek look to a lower one…LOL, not by design.
What kinds of reactions to your beard do you get? How do you respond?
My beard gets A LOT of attention. I have both friends and strangers regularly come up and pet my beard, especially at bars. We were at a trendy bar in Los Angeles around Christmas. And while I was standing in line for a beer, the guy behind me struck up a conversation about my beard. He had a nicely-trimmed goatee. He said he would love a full beard, but his sides come in patchy. Then he reached over and gave me a good beard rub on the side of my face. He then proceeded back to his wife who was waiting for her drink. Wow! I can't say that I minded it, though :^)
Do you take a lot of pride in your beard?
I do. It's more fun having a full beard then I ever realized. Sometimes I curl up my moustache, part it in the middle, brush it to a point, or bring it all forward like a Greek sculpture. LOL.
What's it like having such a great beard as yours?
It's kind of like being pregnant. Everyone talks to a pregnant woman, about how she's growing, and then they touch her belly. I get the same kind of attention, comments, and groping on my beard… Good thing I can handle it!
What do you like best about your beard?
Honestly, the attention it commands. Is that narcissistic?
Do you have any complaints about your beard?
The only complaint I have about my beard is when mustache hair goes in my mouth while I'm eating. Other than that, I love it.
What made you into a dedicated, permanent beard grower?
Honestly, the encouragement and support from my partner and friends has inspired me to do this. If he didn't love it, I probably wouldn't have it.
What are your plans for your beard?
The real question here is: What plans does my beard have for me? But that's a whole 'nother interview.
To your knowledge, has your beard inspired anyone else to grow a beard?
Yep. I've had friends and co-workers grow beards and tell me that they were inspired by me. They have not stuck it out to the FULL beard status, but they're trying.
Yes, the mustache here has been artificially enhanced for a costume effect.
Would you recommend to other those guys who are capable that they grow full beards?
I say go for it. You never know how it will look until you do it. I had no idea that my beard would take on the shape that it has and how much it flatters my face and look. It's a part of me now.
How do you feel about being featured on beards.org?
I'm very flattered that you think I belong amongst the amazing beards I see on your site. I know that among my friends, my beard stands out, but there are some awesome expressions of facial hair on your site! I'm humbled, and inspired, by many of them! It's quite the elite club!
What do you think about beards.org?
Well, I first came to your site when I started my "full beard" journey last summer. As a long time scruffy guy, my chin line was very high. When I started growing more length, I thought something was "off". Your site was a resource for me to figure out what I was doing wrong and how to correct it! And now, here I am! A featured beard! Couldn't have done it without you.

Olga Andrino Diego (Burgohondo, Ávila) is a Spanish painter and sculptor.

Biography

Andrino's childhood was spent in the city of Madrid. She lived in Ibiza, London and Madrid. She studied fine art in Universidad Complutense de Madrid and she has the doctorade of sculpture.

Andrino's art has come to America, working with galleries of Valliart, in Miami. She was also selected by her alma mater, along with three other artists, to represent the University at the College of Spain in Paris (Quatre Peinture et sculpture).

Style

Andrino use different materials for her works, among which may be mentioned paper mache, cement, sand, cardboard, wood and iron, among others.

For six years her work has addressed the issue of the crowds, human groups and what areas they occupy. This has produced a dramatic piece of art, because the fact that it has human content also makes this dramatic content. It also delves into the world of words. The artist defines her work saying that the sculpture is pictorial and sculptural painting and the painting is first and second is relief.

The predominant color in her works is red, which purports to represent the drama of the crowds on a sea of white. This color, red, has been key to the life of Andrino, it has touched many aspects of her life. According to her,  it is the color that gives coherence to their works, acts as a wire and you could say that is the hallmark of the artist herself, that is, the color that characterizes her works. The artist is moved by emotions and sees the red like one of them, giving a fiery and blood symbolism. The material often used in her sculpture is cement, but also uses sand. For her, these materials give a telluric aspect of her work and the link to the summers of her childhood in the home of her grandparents, representing humility. Her sculptures are of a large size, full scale.

In all aspects of her work is the theme of childhood. Cement represents the playground and park, where children have fun together and learn traditional games. These sculptures represent the public space, the place where children should have fun freely. Childhood is a key theme in her work because it is the first period of life, which is appropriate, and that marks adulthood as Andrino.

The main influential painter and sculptor in her work is the German neo-expressionist Anselm Kiefer, who got the idea of large volumes. Andrino considers that the sculptures of large volumes should be exposed in large public platforms and establishes a direct correlation size / expression, that is, to express great feelings, emotions and sensations need to do it through large sculptures to be exhibited in large spaces.

God always has a mission and a purpose in all He does. He creates for a reason, He blesses for a reason, He saves for a reason and this is that all creation would praise Him, enjoy Him and worship Him.
In their teen years this couple came to experience this saving God, enjoying His love, mercy and forgiveness. God blessed them with the ability to travel and serve Him on many short trips overseas. Through these trips God developed in them a growing burden for the millions of unreached people that do not give God the praise and worship that He deserves. Along with the Psalmist we too desire to see all people praising God.
Together with their Church they prayed about how they could respond to the vast numbers of people unreached by the Gospel. After two years of studying at Bible Collage, they were compelled to join God in His mission and eagerly worked with the church towards the possibility of making God's salvation known among many Muslims in Central Asia.
After learning the required language, they now hope to start working with church planting teams, reaching out to those that are seeking the truth. Through Bible correspondence courses and personal witness we hope to share the good news of the Gospel.
They look forward to you joining them in God's mission as they seek to see Muslims come to praise God.

Culture teaches us to blend in. In school we're taught to sit still, speak when spoken to, and mind our manners. We abide by moral codes, dress codes, and codes of conduct. When we venture outside of the norm, we reap the consequences of rebellion.
When you blog, it's good to be different -- or, rather, to differentiate yourself. The world really only needs one Pioneer Woman (and mimicking her style isn't going to win you a book deal or a television show). And, as lovely as Smitten Kitchen is, no one would be very smitten if every blog was just another version of the same.
So, here are a few words of advice that every blogger should follow.
Buck the trends. They're only trends, after all. And they, too, shall pass.
Find a niche where you feel comfortable today -- and where you're likely to continue to be comfortable tomorrow -- and make your home there.
Find your writing voice -- it's one of the most valuable gifts you can give to yourself.
Be yourself -- and totally yourself. Let people get to know the real you.
Be weird. Be unique. Be random. Go wild. Because you never know who might love the person you otherwise hide.
You won't be surprised when we say that we love companies that follow this advice in the way that they do business... entrepreneurs who approach things just a little bit differently, and who aren't afraid to do exactly what they love... and do it well.
Howling Wolf Sauces, based in Theresa, Wisconsin, was started by Ken Wolfe, a classically trained chef who always had a passion for sauces. Wolfe started in the industry, running a cafe in Wyoming which was known for its outstanding ribs and barbeque. He moved to Wisconsin to focus full-time on marketing his sauces. The sauces, which were featured in Jane & Michael Stern's 2005 edition of Roadfood, are available at a wide range of local stores including (but not limited to) Metcalfe's Sentry, Sendik's Food Market (Wauwatosa), Tower Chicken, and Woodman's Market.
We love the Howling Wolf line of gourmet BBQ sauces -- not only because they're made locally -- but because they are created in small batches using the finest ingredients available. None of them contain high fructose corn syrup. They don't use irradiated spices. And their products are both extremely flavorful and very versatile.
For example, the Cranberry Orange BBQ can be used as a glaze for Asian sweet and sour, and the original sauce can be mixed with yogurt to take on a unique Middle Eastern flavor. In addition to sauces, the company also makes a collection of spice rubs, of which The Land and Sea Rub is the most popular. It was created to enhance the buttery flavors in fish, but it's equally delicious on pork, chicken, and even steaks.
Try it on a baked potato! Popcorn! Vegetables! Use your imagination and surprise yourself.
We'd like to give you the opportunity to try out a couple of Howling Wolf products for yourself. This is the sixth of seven 5th Burp!-Day giveaways taking place on the blog during the month of June.
One lucky reader will win an 18 oz bottle of Howling Wolf original barbeque sauce, along with a packet of Land & Sea Rub.
To enter, leave us a comment below telling us what you'll do with your barbeque sauce or Land & Sea rub if you win it. For a bonus entry, head over to the Howling Wolf Facebook page and give them a big fat LIKE. Be sure to leave us a comment letting us know you did just that.
You'll have until NOON on June 30, 2012 to enter. Winners will be chosen at random and notified by email, so please leave your email addy with your comment if it's not included with your Blogger profile. Entries from the U.S. only, please.
As an added bonus, since June is Dairy Month, all entrants will ALSO be entered to win a grand prize assortment of hand-selected Wisconsin cheeses.
Full Disclosure: This giveaway is sponsored by Howling Wolf, who provided us with the product for our giveaway. However, all opinions expressed in this post are our own.
Some grilled BBQ ribs sound pretty fabulous.
The rub sounds amazing! I would probably use it on fish when making grilled fish tacos (tilapia!)... And, you better believe I gave them a big fat LIKE!
Oooo I think I would BBQ up a nice tritip roast on the grill. That sauce would be a great addition.
Mmmm...I love sauce, so the BBQ would probably be dipped into by any kind of meat, or made into pulled BBQ pork sandwiches, etc... I love hot-air popped popcorn and would love to try the idea of sprinkling the rub on as flavoring!
I'll dip tempura green beans in it. YUM!!!
In a dressing for a salad with lots of fresh veggies that's topped with pulled pork and a little bit of cheese.
Oh, we love the Howling Wolf stuff at our house. We found there sauce is perfect for throwing in the crock pot with some beef or pork and slow cooking all day. It gives us a wonderful pulled meat bbq even in winter.
I'd love to try the Land and Sea rub on grilled fish. Thank you...sounds delicious!

Brendan Rodgers is 'best man' for Arsenal job as Celtic exit looms over Leicester, says Chris Sutton
Metro Sport ReporterWednesday 4 Dec 2019 11:30 pm
Sutton had his say on who should replace Emery (Picture: AMA/Getty)
Chris Sutton believes Brendan Rodgers is the 'best man' for the vacant managerial role at Arsenal and thinks the manner in which he left Celtic will concern Leicester fans who are wanting to keep hold of him.
The former Liverpool manager has turned Leicester into genuine top-four contenders this season and they will climb back into second with a draw or better against relegation-threatened Watford.
Since Unai Emery was sacked by Arsenal, Rodgers has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates and he confirmed there's a clause in his contract that can see him leave Leicester mid-season.
Emery was sacked (Picture: NurPhoto via Getty)
He is not the only man to be linked with the post, with former Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri, Napoli boss Carlo Ancelotti, Manchester City assistant Mikel Arteta, Gunners legend Patrick Vieira and even ex-Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino all thought to be in contention, but Sutton thinks Rodgers remains the strongest candidate.
Pochettino, like Rodgers, has also been tipped as a potential replacement for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should Manchester United wield the axe, and while Sutton thinks he would favour a move to Old Trafford, he thinks Rodgers would be a better appointment anyway.
'Well he'd go for the United one. If hypothetically the jobs are available at the same time then that would be an easy one for him, I think,' Sutton exclusively told Metro.co.uk ahead of Arsenal's meeting with Brighton.
'Yes [due to the Spurs alleigance], that's quite an easy one to answer. Look, the Arsenal job, everybody says great history, this, that and the other, fantastic past but they're in a mess.
'I actually felt a bit sorry for Emery because I felt he took them sideways. They'd had a decade really of treading water and I don't think they're really any worse off.
'The fans turned – I think he won eight of his first 13 games this season, last season fifth and the Europa League final, I understand the stuff about the identity but it wasn't just Emery.
Rodgers is admired by Arsenal (Picture: Getty)
'There are people above him, it didn't seem it was his choice solely on transfers, there were other people having a say on the transfers, as far as I am aware so on that basis I think we've said the same thing about the Arsenal backline for six, seven, eight, nine years now, they didn't improve the backline, they bought Pepe in and spent £72million on another forward player.
'That's not where Arsenal really have many issues. It's a headscratcher where they go from here really. They've gone from experience – a manager with a good track record, did really good things with Sevilla, winning the Europa League and now, you know, you're back down to a period with a bit of a blip. I understood why he had to go because you can't have a whole stadium of fans booing you and that was the biggest issue really.
'Who they go for: Pochettino is in the frame, Rodgers is probably the best man for the job. Allegri doesn't speak fluent English as far as I'm aware so there are question marks over the communications so I don't know, it's not an easy job. What's the new manager going to come in and say? "I want money to spend in January" – that's the reality of the situation at Arsenal.'

Sutton was critical of Rodgers leaving Celtic earlier this year. With the Hoops chasing a third consecutive treble, he decided to leave the Scottish Premiership side and return to the Premier League.
Sutton claimed he had 'downsized' and that 'Celtic reserves are bigger than Leicester', but while he still thinks the timing was off, he can't fault Rodgers as a manager.
However, he suspects Leicester fans will be concerned over the future of their manager, given Arsenal's interest and how he abruptly upped sticks with Celtic.
Pochettino is available (Picture: Getty)
'That was the issue as a Celtic fan if it's the best job in the world then why would you leave to go to a club who were essentially not really playing for anything. It is sad,' he added at Bonus Code Bets 'VAR-DICT' event.
'Deep down if you go up there now, Celtic fans for what he actually achieved management-wise shouldn't be feeling the way that they do about him but they do because it's from the heart they feel let down. I understand that and this is why the situation where he's linked to Arsenal, it's not difficult to put this to bed and this was the same thing that happened to Celtic.
Would you see Arsenal as a step up from Leicester?
'[It's] probably not [a step up] playing wise at the moment but Arsenal is Arsenal, isn't it?
'Arsenal is a bigger club than Leicester. I don't know how tough it would be to turn down, you'd have to ask him that. Arsenal has a great history, great club but his contract would be interesting in terms of what he would want because there are certain things at Arsenal which need an overhaul.
I think they [Leicester] are an extremely well run club anyway but in all this the fact is you have to take your hat off to Brendan, I think he's an outstanding coach and a great manager.'
Arsenal may yet opt for the increasingly common approach of hiring a former player to be their full-time manager – Freddie Ljungberg will have the opportunity to throw himself into serious contention while taking temporary charge – but Sutton suggested it was the squad as a whole that needs fixing rather than the man in the dugout.
'It's interesting the Arteta one because they seemed to want him before,' Sutton said. 'If they wanted him before, why not now?
Arteta was previously in the frame (Picture: AMA/Getty)
'I don't know his situation at Man City, whether Pep [Guardiola] would let them go or not but if he was good enough, or nearly good enough last time, why wouldn't you give him the opportunity now?
'Vieira has had experience but the bottom line with them: who is going to make Mustafi better, Chambers better, David Luiz and give them defensive instinct?
'They've had the same car for the last decade and they've changed the drivers, haven't they? Maybe it's the car they need to change.'

Happy New Year ~ 2010!
I hope all of you have terrific 2010s!
Can you believe that it's been a whole ten years since the worry-mongers were trying to convince everyone that all of the computers in the world would go crazy/awry when the clocks rang in 2000!?! "Y2K" was being touted as the end of all computerized clocks, calendars, ETC. I even remember reading that some people were actually stock-piling goods because of the worry-mongers' predictions!
I am still reading my current books from my last entry. I don't make much headway with my reading when all five (Yes, Sprite – our puppy – is included in that count!) of us are together.
Isn't it funny to remember the whole big deal people made of Y2K? And now it's been 10 years. Where did they go?
Really enjoy this blog, by the way. Always something good to read about. Happy New Year!
I came across your blog this morning. I'm always looking for new reads and enjoyed going through your blog entries.
Happy New Year to all the cozy readers. Thanks for keeping the site so interesting and useful Danna. I received the Castle book for Christmas and I had to read it before the others in line. May 2010 be all everyone wants it to be.
Best wishes from Macon, Georgia.
Happy New Year to you! DH (then just the living in sin partner) and I were in Vegas to see in 2000. If the world was going to end, might as well be in a colorful city.
I just came across your site this morning. It's snowing and I have a nice mug of coffee. Just the set up for looking for a new mystery to read…Happy New Year!
Thank you all, here's hoping that ALL of us have great new years!
I love Murder She Wrote, for one thing because of the numerous guest stars. Especially after all these years, it is a blast to see what they looked like years ago.
Have a great 2010, Danna, and I always look forward to your interesting posts.
I think that the reason I so enjoy watching the Murder She Wrote shows is seeing all of the old "stars"… Watching Jessica interject herself in the middle of crimes every week… most of the time at the urging of one of her MANY friends around the world… is purely a delight for me now. The other night, my husband and I saw an episode with a very grown "Wally" (Tony Dow) from the old Leave it to Beaver show. Where else would we be treated to that sort of fun?!?

Q: Xcode 7 - Incompatible block pointer types This code worked fine in Xcode 6, but now won't compile in Xcode 7.
Any ideas how to fix and why this is an issue in Xcode 7?

Incompatible block pointer types sending 'void (^)(SKSpriteNode *__strong, NSUInteger, BOOL *)' to parameter of type 'void (^ _Nonnull)(SKNode * _Nonnull __strong, NSUInteger, BOOL * _Nonnull)'

[self.children enumerateObjectsUsingBlock:^(SKSpriteNode * node, NSUInteger idx,BOOL *stop)
{
    float parallaxRatio = [(NSNumber *)node.userData[@"ParallaxRatio"] floatValue];
    CGPoint childVelocity = CGPointMultiplyScalar(self.velocity, parallaxRatio);
    CGPoint offset = CGPointMultiplyScalar(childVelocity, deltaTime);
    node.position = CGPointAdd(node.position, offset);
}];

A: Several interfaces seem to have changed with iOS9 / Xcode7. In that case you most easily fix it, by typing [self.children enum, then press Ctrl+Space and select the appropriate method from the list. This will give you a code fragment with the new block pointer type and you can move the code in there.
The result would be this: (node was obj after autocompletion, I just renamed it)
[self.children enumerateObjectsUsingBlock:^(SKNode * _Nonnull node, NSUInteger idx, BOOL * _Nonnull stop)
{
    float parallaxRatio = [(NSNumber *)node.userData[@"ParallaxRatio"] floatValue];
    CGPoint childVelocity = CGPointMultiplyScalar(self.velocity, parallaxRatio);
    CGPoint offset = CGPointMultiplyScalar(childVelocity, deltaTime);
    node.position = CGPointAdd(node.position, offset);
}];

Everyone deserves a First Chance
In society, everyone needs to feel valued as a person and that the work they are doing has meaning and purpose. At eCom we're fortunate that, in helping our clients solve their business challenges, the eLearning content we create often has wider significance for society.
We have various examples of the positive impact of our work and in this first article, we're delighted to share how we helped the University of St Andrews encourage secondary school children to consider higher education, regardless of their background.
Tackling educational inequality
As a prestigious world-renowned university, enrolment from students with affluent backgrounds was steadily increasing so the university wanted to readdress the balance and proactively tackle educational inequality. They were looking for a secure eMentoring network and we were delighted to help with the design and development of their ideal system which has been named St Andrews Access Network (StAN)
StAN plays host to a number of different projects:
Living Local, Thinking Global - a project engaging with a number of local primary schools.
First Chances - to allow selected pupils to participate in activities that will raise their aspirations and attainment.
Reach - work with secondary school pupils.
Our eMentoring solution
Within the First Chances project the University of St Andrews initiative, St Andrews Access Network Talk to StAN, uses eCom Scotland's eMentoring solution to promote the wider uptake of Higher Education among those groups that are under-represented at the university. School and college pupils are given the opportunity to spend a day shadowing an undergraduate student at lectures, tutorials and seminars. They can then join the eMentoring network to receive help and advice from students on a secure online forum.
A secure moderated forum
This network helps to promote St Andrews University to local school pupils through a secure moderated forum for participants to interact on a one-to-one or group basis; with Interactive resources in private or shared libraries, participants can upload documents and manage assignments.
This enables the University of St Andrews to strengthen ties in their local community, monitor participation and measure engagement and impact.
Strengthening community ties
Because eCom is a recognised cyber-security safe supplier, schools are confident that the pupils can access a secure system in a safe environment, which helps the university facilitate the strengthening of ties with the community and local schools.
There are plans to expand the system over time and we're looking forward to assisting with this development.
If you would like to find out more, please contact us or call 01383 630032.
eLearning for Scotland's Future Growth
Pushing the boat out for Scotland's young people
