I had a colleague ask me, "What are the most innovative recognition practices you've been seeing in 2017?" I've listed a few that you may find helpful when creating a new strategy to implement in your organization.
Did you know, Best Buy has, 'Be Amazing Ambushes?' When an associate has done something above and beyond, they will have a 100 people descend upon their store to surprise them with a personalized acknowledgement. There's a gift card given and cheer all around! What an amazing, surprise way to recognize – giving it exponential impact – making sure people know going above and beyond is valued and appreciated.
Her inbox just flooded with people sharing specific stories of the rock stars at the College. Her email inspired a Dean and then the President to issue their own challenges with tickets they had. It created an electric buzz of energy. The President even wrote handwritten thank-you notes to every person nominated and the person who nominated them. What a way to generate positivity and the feeling of appreciation!
I just recently read about the CEO of Belfor Holdings Inc, Sheldon Yellen, who writes over 7,000 birthday cards a year – that's one personalized note to every employee every year. This "culture of compassion" he learned about over 30 years ago when starting this practice. How does he do it? Any time he hops on an airplane he makes sure he has a stack of cards, a list of names and a few details to make each note personalized. I hope he's inspired the folks in the seats next to him over the years!
When I was doing some work for a really great company, BioSyent, a small pharmaceutical company in Canada, at their annual kick-off meeting, they took the time for a moment of recognition and did it in an engaging way. The VP of Sales, Kevin Wilson, presented the recipients with a fun item, many of which could easily have come from a local dollar store, that was a literal or metaphorical symbol of the "award" they were winning. The acknowledgement was real, and the way it was delivered was such fun and so memorable, everybody joined in with cheers and big smiles.
While working with some of Home Depot Canada's highest performing stores on continuing to fuel their recognition culture, they took my brand FROG (Forever Recognize Others' Greatness™) and personalized it to their store. For example, in one store, a FROG trophy was purchased and became a department-to-department award that was dedicated in honour of an employee that had sadly passed away and had always been a team player. On a monthly basis, one department nominates another department. It's that kind of innovation where people learn about concepts and strategies and then they make it meaningful to them. People are so excited to receive that award which comes from the heart.
In Walmart, you'll notice when you go in that staff are wearing small and large smiley face pins. Each smiley face pin represents a customer acknowledgement. It hasn't been vetted, it hasn't been approved, it just simply means some customer took the time to fill out an acknowledgement and drop it in the customer service box.
Once you get to 5 then you trade them in for a larger pin, and so on. It's a great way to be able to visually see that recognition is happening, and who the superstars are in the organization. As customers, we can put recognition in our hands something that can't happen enough.
North York General Hospital had a fun way of engaging their patients and visitors during Patient Safety Week. They put out little FROG™ cards and encouraged people to write about a staff member or team who role models patient safety and deserves acknowledgement.
Within days, their whole front lobby was just covered in FROGs with specific, meaningful words. Frontline staff began to check out who had written what; when they saw that the notes came from not just their colleagues but the patients and families they cared for, it was all the more meaningful.
Imagine the impact that the other seven teams had!
How does this tie to recognition? The team that shows the greatest awareness and social responsibility is awarded a "trophy" at their annual strategic planning day. It's friendly competition but as one gentleman donating blood beside me said, "We get hooked. I am still volunteering for a charity I didn't even know about before I started at Walker. I have such a better appreciation of what's going on in our community, and I thank the people who volunteer and care for people so much more now." Let that positivity spread!
What Is your Leading Practice?
As you all know, I love to hand out squishy frogs to people showing greatness in their own way. Nothing's better than saying to someone deadpan, "Have you been FROGed today?" You get some pretty strange looks! But when I explain what FROG stands for and specifically tell them the greatness I see in them, they want to wear their FROG, give it away to someone else who deserves it, put it somewhere they'll see every day and so on. Squishy frogs may or may not be your thing. What is?
I encourage you to find your own fun way of being able to acknowledge the greatness all around you every day.
If you have my co-authored book, check out page 114 for the many examples of how you can recognize someone. It's a great resource to keep on hand so that your strategies stay fresh and to ensure you have multiple ways of recognizing people that is fun (I also have a FROG Portal launching soon that is full of even more tools and strategies!
I hope you have had some great ideas from these suggestions, and don't forget to include in the comment section any of your ideas that I haven't covered yet because we can only get better by sharing those strategies together.
Check out Volinspire, Sarah—they have an app and an organization that helps employers track volunteer contributions of their employees. It is an easy way for employees to track their volunteer contributions and contributions to the communities they work in.

It's that time again. If you're a Windows Insider on the Fast ring, it's time to check your PC for updates, as build 17115 has been released. Tuesday builds used to be pretty rare, but the team is releasing them more frequently as it prepares to finalize the spring update for Windows 10.
There were actually two Fast ring builds released last week, with 17110 showing up on Tuesday and 17112 arriving on Friday. We're just weeks away from version 1803 being finalized, so as is usually the case, Microsoft is focusing on fixes rather than new front-facing features.
The one new thing that you'll find in Windows 10 build 17115 is new privacy settings. As Microsoft did with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, as well as previous feature updates, it's continuing to refine its privacy setting experience. There are new Inking & Typing and Find My Device settings, and the company says that users have more privacy options.
We're going to continue to see builds roll in frequently as we get closer to it being finalized, which should be this month given the version number of 1803. Slow ring Insiders haven't seen anything new since build 17074 was offered in January, and there haven't been new ISOs in almost four months. Hopefully, we'll see more for those users soon.
Here's what's fixed and improved in Windows 10 build 17115
Far Cry 5's level editor will bring assets from Assassin's Creed, Watch Dogs, and more

Has Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip Been Cancelled? And More TV Questions Answered
Jason the TVaholic May 7, 2007 TV Questions Answered 0 comments
Here are seven more questions from TVaholic readers. TV fans were interested in Dirt on FX, whether shows like October Road or Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip have been cancelled, info on songs that played during their favorite shows and what the deal is with network scheduling?
Tara asked: Is there any free way I can watch Dirt's season finale? I missed the replay.
Unfortunately, the answer seems to be no, unless you hit one of the illegal downloading sites. FX doesn't have a streaming video site for replay of their shows like sister network FOX does with some of their shows. You can however download the Dirt season finale at iTunes or Amazon's Unbox . Single episodes are only a $1.99. I recently downloaded an episode of The Office from iTunes after having some DVR problems a few weeks ago. It's not a bad way to go.
Paloma asked: Has October Road been cancelled? ABC seems to change the shows after Grey's Anatomy all the time. Is Men in Trees scheduled to come back anytime soon?
October Road was not cancelled. ABC actually ended up playing all six of its first season episodes. Will it be back next season is the question now? Right before the season finale, it was announced that the actresses that play Janet and Pizza Girl had been promoted to full cast members. Why is this important? Well, it locks them up for October Road and keeps them from pursuing other job offers for new TV shows in development. This is a positive sign for those hoping to see it back next season. As for Men in Trees, what is your definition of soon? It looks as if it won't be back until next fall, but it will be back. You can read more about the Men in Trees situation in the Tonight on the Tube post from April 26th.
Terry asked: What is with the crazy, undependable programming? You go to watch a show and something else is on. My favs are Heroes, Jericho, and Men in Trees. Half the time they are pre-empted by something else. I long for the days of Sept-May shows and reruns.
The networks are presently trying to deal with this problem, especially with the more complex serial shows like Heroes, Jericho and others. There has been significant audience drop offs from when a show goes on a hiatus and when it returns. It's funny though, as the networks were trying to deal with the complaint of too many reruns and a lack of continuity while watching these types of shows from previous seasons. But, they seem to have found this season that fans of these shows don't like long breaks between consecutive episode runs either. ABC just announced three more 16-episode seasons for Lost, but it also looks like it won't start until January each season and then run for 16 straight weeks, similar to what FOX does with 24. That is one way to solve the problem. However, all the networks will continue to use their hit shows to try and launch other shows, like ABC with October Road taking over the Men in Trees slot after Grey's Anatomy at the end of this season. What do you think TV networks should do with these types of shows?
Joe asked: Season Finale of Shark (CBS) May 3, 2007 – What was the name of the closing song – I'm nearly positive it was Emmylou Harris, but I didn't recognize the song itself. THANKS.
I happened to have recorded that episode of Shark, so you're in luck. It was difficult trying to listen to just the song and not the actors speaking, but after playing the end sequence a couple of times, I was able to pick out a few lyrics. Then a few searches later, I believe you are right that it was Emmylou Harris and the song is "Goodbye," which can be found on her album Wrecking Ball .
Rabin, in the comments of a previous Ask the TVaholic, asked: Hey I would like to know where to get the songs for the TV serial Men in Trees. They have very nice songs throughout the season.
Check out the Music Guide for Men in Trees. They have a listing by episode of the Title, Artist and Label for each song that has played in each episode. After clicking around the ABC website a bit, it looks as though they have a pretty comprehensive music listing for most of their shows.
Tammy asked: Why was the TV show Related cancelled?
Related was a fun show that seemed to get better as the season progressed. Unfortunately, like a lot of other shows on UPN and The WB, when the two networks merged and became The CW, there was half as many hours of programming to fill. Related along with other good shows, like Everwood, from The WB didn't make the new network.
M asked: Has Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip been cancelled?
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip hasn't been officially cancelled. NBC did recently release a return to the TV schedule for Studio 60. It will play its remaining six episodes beginning Thursday, May 24th. It will take over the ER timeslot after ER has its season finale on May 17th. This return date is long after NBC will have already announced their 2007 Fall Lineup next week. So, most likely, it won't be back for a second season. But, at least fans of the show will get some closure to the storylines they have been following.

Vatican thanks Chinese groups for donations to combat coronavirus
April 9, 2020 CNA Daily News News Briefs 0 Print
Vatican City, Apr 9, 2020 / 07:00 am (CNA).- The Vatican has thanked Chinese organizations for donating medical supplies to help it combat the coronavirus.
The Holy See press office said April 9 that the Vatican Pharmacy had received donations from Chinese groups including the Red Cross Society of China and the Jinde Charities Foundation of Hebei Province.
The press office hailed the gifts as "an expression of the solidarity of the Chinese people and Catholic communities with those involved in the relief of those affected by COVID-19 and the prevention of the current coronavirus epidemic."
It continued: "The Holy See appreciates this generous gesture and expresses its gratitude to the bishops, the Catholic faithful, the institutions and all other Chinese citizens for this humanitarian initiative, assuring them of the esteem and prayers of the Holy Father."
In February, the Vatican announced that it had sent thousands of face masks to China to help limit the spread of the coronavirus. It had donated between 600,000 to 700,000 masks to the Chinese provinces of Hubei, Zhejiang, and Fujian since Jan. 27, the Global Times, a Chinese state-run news outlet, reported Feb. 3.
The medical supplies were donated as part of a joint initiative of the Office of Papal Charities and the Missionary Center of the Chinese Church in Italy, in partnership with the Vatican Pharmacy.
China broke off diplomatic relations with the Holy See in 1951, two years after the communist revolution resulted in the creation of the People's Republic of China.
The Vatican signed a provisional agreement with China in 2018 concerning the appointment of Catholic bishops. The text of the agreement has never been published.
On Feb. 14 this year, Archbishop Paul Gallagher, the Holy See's Secretary for Relations with States, met Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi in Munich, Germany. The encounter was the highest level meeting between officials from the two states since 1949.
The Red Cross Society of China, founded in Shanghai in 1904, is the national Red Cross Society in the People's Republic of China.
The Jinde Charities Foundation is a Catholic organization registered in Shijiazhuang, the capital of Hebei province.

Pontifical university offers new youth protection degree program
February 9, 2018 CNA Daily News 0
Rome, Italy, Feb 10, 2018 / 12:00 am (CNA).- Rome's Pontifical Gregorian University will begin offering a two-year licentiate course in protecting minors, a move Fr. Hans Zollner SJ, said is a sign of the progress the Church has made in terms of abuse-awareness and prevention.
"In most countries ten years ago, five years ago, there was no talk about safeguarding. Now you have degree programs, certificates, diplomas," he told CNA in a Feb. 9 interview.
"Why has this developed? Because people realize it's not only done by talking about it or by writing about it in articles or pointing the finger to this or that institution. What needs to be done is serious study."
Fr. Zollner has been a member of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors and heads the Center for Child Protection (CCP) at the Gregorian University, which is offering the new licentiate course.
The two-year course will launch in October 2018 as an interdisciplinary university degree. Classes will be taught in English, and those who enroll will also participate in an internship based on their respective academic backgrounds.
The first semester will be dedicated to exploring the work of safeguarding minors, while the second will dig deeper into more theoretical study of what 'safeguarding' fully means. In the third semester students will participate in internships, and the final semester will be dedicated to writing a thesis.
The new licentiate was announced Feb. 9 during the graduation ceremony for the university's one-semester diploma course in safeguarding minors, which was launched by the CCP in 2016.
The objective of the diploma course is to form people who will eventually become child protection officers for dioceses, religious congregations, and similar organizations, as well as advisers and trainers in the field of safeguarding.
In his comments to CNA, Zollner said while other similar courses exist, the licentiate will be unique, because to his knowledge, it's the "very first full time, two-year academic program that is multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary" while also taking into account Pope Francis' new Apostolic Constitution "Veritatis Gaudium" on the nature and curriculum of ecclesiastical universities and institutions.
The licentiate, he said, is needed because although the diploma course gives a solid foundation child abuse prevention, "we also need people who are capable of adapting, inventing, creating new approaches to safeguarding in very different environments."
While the diploma course allows students to gain the knowledge and experience needed in order to implement guidelines and policies when they go back to their countries and dioceses, the licentiate will take it a step further, he said.
"The scale of the problem and the breadth of the different issues that have to be tackled is enormous, and we Westerners don't have very much understanding of what's going on in some areas of the world," Zollner said.
"We hope that we can get a real foot on the ground with people who are formed in-depth and know how to transmit a message that goes from head to heart. That's for us a goal with this new licentiate."
He said that from what he's seen, the results of the diploma course have been largely positive, which is significant given the challenge of having people come together from various cultures with different attitudes in terms of talking about about child sexual abuse.
But despite the challenges, Zollner said "we have seen a transformation in a good number of them. I have been at the beginning and end of the semester with them and you see the difference not only in language, not only in how they use words, but in the whole attitude, how they talk about survivors of abuse."
"It's not anything threatening, anything disturbing, sort of difficult to talk about, it is, but now they have the capacity to really empathize, to be compassionate, to really do what they will be asked to do, which is to accompany victims and do whatever they need to do so that abuse is prevented."
This year there were 18 graduates of the diploma course, which was coordinated by Prof. Dr. Karlijn Demasure, executive director of the CCP, and Dr. Katharina A. Fuchs. Diplomas were awarded by the Institute of Psychology of the Pontifical Gregorian University, which founded the CCP in 2012.
Students who received their diploma came from all over the world, including countries such as Czech Republic, Ghana, India, Japan, Lebanon, Mozambique, Nigeria, Slovakia, Taiwan, Tanzania, Thailand and the United States.
One of the graduates, Sr. Perpetua of the Congregation of Saint Therese of the Child Jesus, who comes from the Bukoba diocese of Tanzania, told CNA that she signed up for the course "because there is a need to create awareness in my country because people are not aware about child sexual abuse."
She said she feels "empowered" after taking the course, and that when she returns to her diocese, "I'll create awareness by education, by educating the children at the school, at universities, parents and society at large."
Similarly, Perla Freed, Director of the Safe Environment program for the Archdiocese of Atlanta, said "people don't want to talk about child sexual abuse because it's not a happy subject," but she enrolled in the course because she wanted "more of an awareness of this problem and how to confront it."
Not having background in topics such as theology or canon law, Freed said getting formation in these areas was "a very good model" to follow in studying the various aspects of abuse and prevention.
She said she is looking forward to returning to her diocese where she can implement what she's learned, specifically in terms of prevention and victim assistance.
When it comes to abuse, "every case is heartbreaking and shouldn't happen," she said, but stressed that the Catholic Church "is making a lot of efforts to ensure that those people are taken care of."
"I think the Catholic Church, in the U.S. and in other countries, is an example of what everybody should be doing on child safeguarding all over the world," she said. "We have the programs for schools, we have the training for adults working with those children and young people, so we're an example of what other public schools systems and other organizations working with youth should follow."
In his comments to CNA, Zollner said the model of the course has been replicated by other entities throughout the world, including in Manila and in Mexico City, as well as in other institutions at the university.

Gaya is an ancient kingdom that existed in a confederation of small nations all over the Nakdong River estuary, the southern coast and Jiri Mountain in Korea between 42 A.D. and 562 A.D. Geumgwan Gaya that settled in today's Gimhae region had led the early Gaya confederacy during the 3rd-4th century. From the ancient tombs in the Gaya regions were excavated a large number of artifacts and they were potteries in different forms.
After the government formation in the 1950s, the excavation was led by the national agencies as a part of state policy. Particularly in the 1970s, the national land development plan was launched with the aim of establishing infrastructure for high growth.
Found after 1500 years of their production, the Gaya potteries are objects of concrete evidence to infer the times of Gaya, however, they can be highly abstract subject matter as well when viewed in the frame of history formed by time and space. In the imaginary realm allowed by the Gaya potteries as artifacts, time can repeat and move backwards, and creates a new meaning by intersecting in the basic axis of space.

Toy Review: End Level Display from amiibo by Nintendo/ PowerA
Recently I picked up a Nintendo Switch. I'm really enjoying it as it's a system with plenty of high quality games that I can play along with my four year old. Right now we're mostly playing Super Mario Odyssey and the game takes advantage of Nintendo's amiibo collection to allow you to obtain a bonus power-up, unlock special costumes early, or even obtain hints on where to find the games numerous hidden moons. I picked up a few of the Animal Crossing amiibo figures earlier this year both due to playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf and my desire to add them to my World of Nintendo collection, and now I've picked up a few more to add to the collection. Today I'm looking at a cool display base for the amiibo figures that is modeled after the flagpole and stairs that appeared at the end of the levels in the original Super Mario Bros. videogame. While it is branded as an officially licensed Nintendo amiibo product, it was actually produced by the company PowerA. Does that make this a second party item? I actually picked it up more to use with my World of Nintendo figures rather than to use with my amiibos, but it works great with both collections. Let's take a look at it after the break...
Dimensions: 16 inches tall, 18 inches long, and 5 inches wide.
Includes: Base, 20 single blocks, flagpole block, and a flag pole.
Original Retail Price: $30 dollars (I paid $10 at GameStop)
* The first thing that's really cool about this set is that it is very modular in nature. Besides the two connected blocks that hold the flagpole, the rest of the blocks are single, allowing you to creature your own displays if you want to. While the intended display is meant to look like the end of level staircases from Super Mario Bros., you really can build a number of different things set ups with these.
* The blocks are very high quality. they're not super heavy but they feel sturdy and well made, kind of like a Duplo Lego brick. There are two textured sides, two flat sides, a bottom male plug, and a top female socket which can hold another block or an amiibo.
* The amiibos can slip right in since they have large rounded bases that easily fit into the top of these blocks. They look nice on display here and can easily be removed and put back. Note that the depending on how you organize the blocks, some larger amiibos may not be able to fit next to each other.
* The flag is a really cool touch. It's a simple green flagpole with a top and a triangular flag branded with the "amiibo" logo. It looks nice on display and should be instantly recognizable to any fan of vintage NES games.
* Another really cool feature is that the flag can actually be lowered to the ground just like at the end of a Super Mario Bros. level. I love it!
* I showed how the set is designed to work with amiibo figures above but here's a look at the End Level Display with the World of Nintendo Mario from series 1-1. This set looks great with those figures (and that the main reason I purchased it).
* The blocks look great, too. They make a perfect Nintendo styled backdrop for pictures or just displaying your figures.
* The only thing I'd really consider a negative is that if you're really going to use this to display amiibos, it really only holds six. That's a pretty small amount of figures for such a large set. of course, you could always reorganize the blocks and do your own thing to try something that holds more.
I actually picked this up at GameStop for $9.99 and, for that price, I'm not disappointed at all. It's a really fun display piece and a fun playset for action figures. It's well constructed, has a few fun features, and should be instantly recognizable to anyone who is even the least bit familiar with Super Mario Bros. This is a Great set! If you find it for the $10 price tag I found it at it's even better! The End Level Display was originally released in 2015 but it still seems to be fairly easy to find.
This is the first amiibo toy I've reviewed. I'll be looking at more in the coming weeks!

The loss of prized recruit Matt James has already revived talk of the Notre Dame head coach curse, which allegedly dates back to when Gerry Faust, a complete bust, was signed as head coach.
"He was the start of the curse of the modern Notre Dame program – they're good at a lot of things in South Bend but hiring coaches isn't one of them." wrote Dan Wetzel at Yahoo sports.
The tragic death of his top recruit is obviously going to revive talk about Brian Kelly being cursed too The young man fell to his death from a balcony during an outing in Panama City Florida.
With him went a huge part of Kelly's pans to plug the holes in the offensive line from last season.
"Six-foot-eight, 290-pounds and a big ol' teddy bear," said Kelly said remembering James, who he knew for years.
"He came to Notre Dame because of his personality. He wanted to make a difference. He wanted to stand out. That's the kind of kid he was. That's what I'll remember about him."
The team seem to be taking the loss of James to heart also.
"Words can't express the feelings that have flown through the locker room," Irish quarterback Dayne Crist said. "Matt James was just an incredible person. Forget football. He was just a great person. He'll definitely be missed and he'll definitely be with us from here on out."
"Everybody on the team feels like we lost a brother," Kyle Rudolph said. "There's nothing not to like about Matt. You hear people describe him, and no matter who you talk to, you get the same response — he's just a gentle giant, never would hurt a fly. He's one of us for sure."
Look for Notre Dame to use the memory of James as a powerful emotional connection this season.

ROBOTC.net forums - View topic - Where do you build?
Just like it says. Where do you build? How are your parts stored? What's your space like? Here's my "workshop"
Re: Where do you build?
Wow. That's a lot of NXTs.
I wish I have a big enough space to put everything in one place but I don't. So my build place is scattered in several places. For heavy duty cutting, which is rare, I go to the garage where I keep various saws. For doing electronics work, I go to the machine room in the basement where I have a workbench with soldering irons, oscilloscopes, power supplies and other testing equipment. Unfortunately, this is my machine room where my 16TB server lives, so it gets noisy. The machine room is small, so I don't have a whole lot of storage space. I have some storage bins to keep some frequently used parts in the machine room. For all other parts, I have a row of storage bins in my crawl space which are accessible in the basement. I keep a lot of less frequently used tools in the crawl space too. I just got a 3D printer this week and don't have space for it, so I put it in my office upstairs by the other regular printer. Sometimes, I found myself running up and down the stairs a lot.
So you also are/have been some kind of music person? As well as RC vehicle user, drill presser, and roboticist?
CNC milling machine!! I want one but I don't have space for it! It looks like you have a coolant circulation system too.
EDIT: Further examination, is that just a coolant drain? What do you do with the used coolant?
Oh, that is a CNC. How could I have missed the motors? This forum needs a *facepalm* smilie.
Coolant goes through a strainer, into a trash can and is recycled via pump. I don't have any of that stuff anymore. Some medical issues put the brakes on all of it for a while. I'm just now getting back into RC a little (2+ years) and I don't think the apartment I'm in now would be agreeable to bedroom CNC. I do also still tinker with music, although at the moment none of the pro-audio stuff works with windows 8.
So you did have a coolant circulation system?
Do you mind telling me the make and model of the CNC machine? I have been researching these and haven't really found anything I like yet.
I have a single bin with exactly 3600 pieces in it and my mindstorms box and a custom sensor for a total of 4220 parts. I have other non-technic elements, too, but hopefully my collection will grow! I build in my bedroom.
Well, they are not all robotic elements, actually, most of them are technic pieces. But still, it is a great thing to have when working with mindstorms! I have 5 sensors and three motors, one NXT, and seven cables. Sadly, I have no bluetooth adapter.


Most often, when people plan for a trip to Spain, their itinerary features Barcelona, Valencia, Madrid and Andalusia region prominently. But Spain has so many overlooked gems in its basket of historical and cultural prominence. Even if you are on a tight schedule and / or shoe-string budget, you must not miss visiting Toledo, just 70 km south of Madrid. It is generally considered a day-trip but i will strongly recommend spending few days in this erstwhile capital of Spain, owing to the uniqueness and magnanimity of this adoring place.
Above photograph of the picturesque, walled city of Toledo in Spain was shot from the top of the stone fortress and palace of Alcazar – the highest point of the city. It provides a magnificent view (and depth of view, too!) of the medieval city with its famous monuments and historic buildings. In this shot, apart from the Cathedral, Churches of Santo Tome and San Roman (at the far end of the photo), located on the west side of the walled city can also be seen.
At the present day Alcazar, there stood a Roman palace in the third century. The building that you see today was inspired from the Renaissance style of architecture. Irony of Alcazar is that it was never lived by the Spanish kings, because before the completion of its construction, capital of Spain was moved from Toledo to Madrid. Alcazar stands testimony to the historic Spanish Civil War of 1936. The palace, at a walking distance from Plaza de Zocodover, was renovated in 1940 and today it houses Spain's official military museum, Museo del Ejercito.
Second biggest cathedral of Spain, after the cathedral in Seville is located in Toledo. Built in 13th century, this enormous Cathedral of Saint Mary of Toledo is the most important church in Spain because of its historic and ecclesiastical importance as it has been the residence of high-ranking Catholic Bishops and clergies over the ages. One of the finest cathedrals of Spain with stunning stained glass windows and frescoes is built on top of a Moorish mosque.
Once inside the Cathedral, you will encounter the Gothic and Renaissance style of artwork. There are huge oil paintings of Toledo Cardinals, painted by the likes of Goya. Walls and ceilings of the cathedral are decorated by the frescoes painted by Juan de Borgoña, Lucas Giordano, Francisco Bayeu and Maella. There is an inspiring art gallery also with some masterpieces. Seeing these paintings and art works, i was transported back in time, wondering about the magical time their creators must have had, sitting idyllic in this gem of a city, sitting majestically on a hill.
However, there is one thing about Spain, which i completely detest, and can never support. Read here to know what is that.
Have you been to Toledo? How was your experience with the history and culture of Spain and Toledo, in particular? Do share with us.

I am glad you liked these pictures. Toledo is a lovely small place, very artistic and picturesque. I would love to visit it again and stay for a longer time period this time. It's a wonderful experience. I hope you too had fond memories of the place.
Right with everything you said – and yes, I had a marvellous time there (and throughout the whole trip through Spain then!). Always good to know like-minded people. Cheers!
What a great variety of stunning images !!!
Yes Sreejith, Toledo is a very captivating small town. Heaven for photographers i must say.
These are gorgeous photos. I particularly like the first two and the second-to-last one. It is hard to create great photos in harsh mid-day sunlight, but you use the contrast to your advantage and the colors really pop. I am going to have to put this place on my travel to-do list!
Yes, would love another trip there.
Thanks for my recent 'likes'.
thanks for visiting my blog and giving all the likes. You have a very nice blog as well. I will be back to read more, God bless!
Wonderful images. Thank you for transporting me to Toledo.
Enjoyed the tour and photos showcasing the various places you've seen. A worthy entry for the challenge. I liked it very much. Thank you ….
In Canada, there is nothing historical standing, that was built before the 1800's, except for maybe a few military forts.
Amazed by these pictures Suyash, and the architecture, such as that cathedral built in the 13th century is stunning. Would be amazing to see it all in real.
Beautiful landscape and architecture! The interior of the cathedral is amazing!
Thanks for visiting Toledo of Spain, virtually on my blog though. Its a very beautiful place indeed!
Toledo is just a 30 min travel on high speed train from Madrid. So, when you plan a trip to Spain, do not miss this. Its an amazing place with so much of experiences to collect by.

Mobilizing Health Care Simply and Efficiently
When Delivering Health Care Globally, Experience Matters
Behind every Primary Mobile Med International, PMMI, supporter there is a unique story that exemplifies dedication to global health. In our last newsletter, we covered how two of our supporters, Drs. Edward Fynn and Lewis Roberts, helped Tom and Kevin present PMMI's work at this year's Safari Five Conference. Because both Drs. Fynn and Roberts have firsthand experience providing health care to underprivileged populations and have been advising PMMI for the past few years, we are very thankful they helped us tell our story to conference attendants. We are excited to present Dr. Fynn:
Dr. Edward Fynn, currently living in Namibia, is a radiologist and senior lecturer at the Namibia School of Medicine. In addition to running a private radiology practice primarily dedicated to women's health, he also works with The Navigators to oversee humanitarian projects in Namibia and southern Angola. Dr. Fynn studied at the Ghana Medical School and completed postgraduate radiology training in South Africa. He has three children with his wife, Kate.
Dr. Fynn took part in the following Q&A with PMMI:
Q: Describe your reaction to seeing PMMI's mobile medical clinic (MMC) in-person for the first time.
A: When the container idea was pitched to me, I was very excited. But I was extremely excited when I got to walk into the container. I saw something that has been inspired and created by compassion, love, and need. It is amazing that the container and its equipment can meet 80% of the primary health care needs of any third-world country. The container is very relevant and will be very useful.
Q: How can the container help you in your practice?
A: Even though, in my practice, a lot of the radiology I do is with bigger machines, there are still many people I could help by providing outreach treatment with equipment that could fit in a shipping container, such as ultrasound and x-ray equipment. Providing access to an ultrasound would be especially helpful. Ultrasound diagnostics are critical for infant and maternal health.
Q: Why are PMMI's clinics an ideal solution for remote locations?
A: The clinics will especially help practitioners who are in remote locations. The clinics help these practitioners get connected to central hubs and other medical professionals. This helps provide a more extensive diagnostic service to remote areas.
Q: To what extent is Africa in need of primary health care?
A: It is difficult to even estimate a level of need. It is even beyond the [African] government's ability to estimate. The government's lack the resources and funds needed to keep an accurate estimate. People are in great need. People have to walk miles to health care facilities. And sometimes when they get there, they might find there are no doctors, nurses, or medical supplies. Then they have to walk home untreated.
For details about clinic sponsorship and employment opportunities for medical professionals please contact Eva Bammes, Director of Media and Marketing at ebamm@primarymobilemed.com.

The Aroma of Christ…and Fresh Bread
On a busy corner in Guadalajara, Mexico, the scent of fresh bread beckons pedestrians into a rustic bakery. Once inside, however, the pleasing aroma of Christ draws customers to the bakery's mother and daughter owner-operators, Myriam and Adriana Sanchez.
Rogenbrott was founded in 2014 as a missional enterprise to share Christ among the lost. The Sanchez family had a dream of starting a business where they could use their God-given talents as bakers, provide for their economic needs, and share Christ with others. That is what is happening as God is fulfilling their daily prayer of "Lord, let us be a fragrant scent here; may You be who attends to the true needs of our clients and providers."
The bakery sells homemade artisan bread to the community, and its impact is felt daily. Clients come in to purchase bread, and are charmed by the family who naturally shares Christ with them. Clients have learned that they can find a listening ear and someone who will pray for them. One client loves coming into the shop because she admires their peace and joy. When asked how they could always be so joyous, mom and daughter responded that it is Christ in them.
The bakery's providers are also being reached with the Gospel. Over the past year, the Sanchez family has developed a relationship with one supplier. Although he comes from a religious family, he didn´t understand the Gospel. The Sanchez family believes in making Jesus known through their daily lives, so it wasn´t long before their provider asked them to pray for his sick relative. They rejoiced together when the relative was restored to health. After, their new friend began to come to them for counsel, and they began studying God´s Word with him. The Sanchezes hope that this is just the first of many who will come to know Jesus as their Savior because of the bread store dedicated to the Lord.
The Gospel is being lived out in this bakery, and the pleasing aroma of Christ is fragrant to all. Will you take a moment and pray for this missional business, for the Sanchez family, and for other businesses serving to make Christ known around the world? "For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing." (2 Corinthians 2:15 ESV)

You are Strange to Me
"Tom, you're no longer strange to me."
What in the world did Ivan, my close friend of two years, mean by that?
My wife, our two middle-schoolers, and I had moved into a country that every national who had the chance was fleeing. Food was scarce. Utilities were sporadic. Unemployment was skyrocketing. Corruption was rampant. New criminal gangs were terrorizing the populace as they were fighting each other and carving out their territories.
Our move from the suburbs of America to this collapsing country didn't seem odd to me. It seemed more like an adventure to make a difference in the world by distributing humanitarian aid and leading bible studies with young adults who had never seen a Bible.
I met Ivan and his wife on our first day in his country. They were both college graduates and were unemployed. I hired them as our language tutors, our interpreters, and our first employees. We shared life with them for hours on end for 5-6 days a week for two years.
The bible studies seemed to be going well. Ivan was translating the materials from English into his native language. Using his artistic ability he also illustrated them with pen and ink drawings. Ivan was a new believer himself so our times in the Word were rich and special for him.
I thought I was really connecting with Ivan, so what was that comment about me, "no longer being strange?"
After our first 18 months in the country, I changed my focus from humanitarian aid to missional enterprise (BAM). As the enterprise grew we were able to employ more and more people. Job creation took the place of humanitarian handouts. Gainful employment restored dignity and removed the stigma of inferiority.
The needs of our enterprise began to create auxiliary enterprises that provided employment for more people. This ripple effect of wealth creation made more sense to Ivan than our previous attempts of propping people up with bailouts.
So why did Ivan think I was strange? When I asked him he gave me two reasons:
The bible studies, as good as they were for the soul, didn't deal with the harsh realities of daily life in a broken society.
The humanitarian aid was helpful to those who were starving but was not a long-term solution for transformation.
His conclusion was that it was strange for someone to leave the good life in the West to do something that wasn't all that helpful in his country.
He also gave me two reasons why I was no longer strange to him:
The practical application of the Gospel holistically integrated throughout all of life – including employment.
My desire to help people for the long-term.
It makes me wonder how many others have thought of me as strange when I thought I was just trying to help.

Originally supporting a range of art forms, the current scheme focuses on visual artists and composers. Five awards are made to visual artists and to composers each year.
The Awards reflect the Foundation's strong belief in the value of artists to society. The scheme aims to give artists the freedom to develop their creative ideas and to grow both personally and professionally.


Microsoft vs. Apple, Part Deux ?
"You can make parallels with computers: Apple was very strong in this field before, with its Macintosh and its graphics user interface -- like the iPod today -- and then lost its position." - Bill Gates, May 12, 2005.
Bill Gates was unusually dismissive of Apple last week, in describing the market's eventual move to phone-centric devices for digital music. The comment above and the launch of the XBox 360 on a Hobbit-hosted MTV infomercial last week could be the first salvo in a very public platform war between Apple and Microsoft. How retro.
In one corner, we have the vertically-integrated Apple approach - armed with HD-friendly QuickTime, iPod and video-enabled iTunes, the Mac Mini, and Hollywood leverage from half-sister Pixar. The Mini could become, says pundit Robert Cringely, an Internet-enabled HD set-top box. In the other corner, Microsoft has Windows Media, a robust and almost-mature Media Center platform, XBox 360 and a well-supported ecosystem of hardware, software and digital media developers.
Thomas Hawk and Jupiter's Michael Gartenberg describe the XBox 360 as a Trojan Horse into the living room. By combining gaming with photos, music, HDTV, built-in home networking, and a rumored DVR, Microsoft can seamlessly extend it's platform from the home office to the living room.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say history repeats itself. Microsoft's open approach trumps Apple's closed system. And to hedge, Microsoft also places digital media bets on cable and telco infrastructure.
I don't believe you can overlook the power of a robust developer community. Look no further than Yahoo's superb new music service. Built on the Windows Media platform - and network enabled by UPnP - this could give iTunes a run for its money. Yahoo's wide distribution and an interconnected set of services could finally build mass-market awareness for the value of a music subscription service. With Flickr, Yahoo 360, and Yahoo Music, is there anyone better right now at building and integrating complex and innovative online services?
Competition between Apple and Microsoft, and perhaps Sony and others, should mean more choice for consumers in the products and services they choose, and the media they enjoy. I write this as I sit here listening, on Yahoo Music Unlimited, to a funky Alice Coltrane album from 1971 that I had never heard of before yesterday.

Nolan Gerard Funk On Becoming Spectacular
by Breanna Myles
Meet Nolan Gerard Funk.
With the last name Funk, you'd think Nolan wouldn't have had any problems setting himself apart from other aspiring actors. However, Nolan says he has struggled with finding a way to stand out—similar to the character Nikko that he plays in the movie Spectacular! Nikko is a rebellious, aspiring rock star who has been kicked out of his band, dumped by his girlfriend and goes onto a game show to win some prize money. Along the way he discovers the real gift of music.
Nolan is passionate about more than just acting; he also has a passion for the environment. He believes that life is about being part of something that is greater than yourself.
He tells Faze that we should "be good to the planet and be good to our fellow humans." He urges others to take the initiative, go after their dreams and try to live outside the box.

Overview and Scrutiny Committee Work Programme and Council Forward Plan PDF 46 KB
To receive the latest version of the Committee's work programme and the Council's Forward Plan.
Cabinet Forward Plan 20200114 , item 7. PDF 219 KB
7.1 The Head of Communities explained that the Annual Report on the Grant Funding provided to the Voluntary Sector which was on the Committee 's agenda for its next meeting on the 3rd of March 2020 had been pushed back on the Cabinet 's forward plan. In response, Committee Members agreed to replace the report with the Climate Change Manifesto report. The Annual Report on the Grant Funding provided to the Voluntary Sector would be made a floating item on the work programme until it was ready to be considered at a Committee meeting.
7.2 Councillor Hilton requested that an interim report on Marketing Gloucester Limited (MGL) is brought before the Committee. He stated that this would focus on the report from the organisation which investigated the claims which were made in a whistleblowing case against the company in 2014, as well as the letter from the former employee who had raised the alarm. Councillor Hilton expressed his concern that the Council had so far not been able to locate the whistleblowing report.
7.3 Councillor Lewis suggested that the Committee should seek legal advice before holding the meeting to avoid potentially impinging on the ongoing police investigation into MGL. Councillor Hilton stated that the purpose of the meeting would be to look at the Council 's role in the whistleblowing investigations, if any. In particular, this would mean looking at the correspondence between MGL and Council Officers, and documents from any meetings between MGL and Council, if any. Councillor Wilson stated that he agreed with this. Councillor Stephens echoed the point made earlier about the need to be careful about not prejudicing an ongoing police investigation. Yet, he also believed that there was a sense of urgency with this.
7.4 Councillor Ryall stated that she agreed with these observations and the importance of the issue at hand. However, she also stressed the importance of not dealing with the issue on politically partisan lines. She added that any investigations should be impartial.
7.5 Councillor Coole summarised that they would be seeking legal advice before a decision is made on whether to hold the MGL meeting. Following this, he would then set up a meeting with the other group leaders discussing the potential Special Meeting.
7.6 Councillor Haigh asked whether there any progress had been made on extending the local delivery of grass cutting Trial to Matson, pursuant to the Overview and Scrutiny Committee 's recommendation at its meeting on the 25th of November 2019. Furthermore, she asked whether any other wards had expressed an interest in the scheme. Councillor Watkins, Cabinet Member for Communities and Neighbourhoods outlined that whilst there were no further updates, the plan was to consult with the community in Matson, and then proceed from there. Furthermore, she added that there had been expressions of interest into the scheme from community partnership organisations in the Barton and Tredworth wards.
7.7 RESOLVED that: - subject to the above, that the Overview and Scrutiny Committee NOTE the Work ... view the full minutes text for item 7.
Housing, Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy 2020-2025 PDF 106 KB
To receive the report of the Cabinet Member for Communities and Neighbourhoods, and the Cabinet Member for Planning and Housing Strategy which outlines proposals for the Housing, Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy for 2020-2025.
Housing , Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy 2020-2025 , item 8. PDF 799 KB
Appendix 1 Housing Strategy Consultation Feedback , item 8. PDF 419 KB
8.1 Councillor Watkins presented the report and outlined key elements. She stated that this report was the result of cross-party work. Moreover, since the last meeting, there had been a consultation with stakeholders and members of the public. The result of this was a 100% agreement rate amongst those who had participated in the consultation. She explained to the Committee that the report before them was not final, and that changes could still be made. For example, as a result of the discussion at the present meeting. Lastly, she then thanked Officers who had been involved in putting the strategy together for their hard work.
8.2 Councillor Gravells then addressed the Committee. He thanked the Chair, and then Councillor Watkins for the joint report. He added that housing was a key issue. Furthermore, that there would be an action plan once the strategy had been updated. Lastly, he stated that if Members wanted to bring the strategy before the Overview & Scrutiny Committee for consideration every year, this could be done. The Chair stated that he had spoken to the Head of Communities about doing this.
8.3 Councillor Coole questioned whether the Council 's Severe Weather Protocol (SWEP) also included severe hot weather. Councillor Watkins stated that SWEP largely focused on cold weather, however there was a yellow warning for other types of weather conditions. Moreover, SWEP was under review every year with the Council working with the County Wide Homelessness Coordinator and other partners. Similarly, changes were recently made to the Protocol in 2019.
8.4 Councillor Haigh stated that whilst she welcomed the report, it would benefit from having a breakdown of private sector housing issues. She added that there was a lot of discussion about affordable homes, however there was little information on social rent, which was a pertinent issue. She suggested that Gloucester had lower targets for social rent compared to other areas in the South West. Secondly, she questioned whether there was a policy on controlling what she believed to be an increase of Households in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) and student housing in the City. She explained that other local authorities had these policies in place.
8.5 In response, Councillor Watkins stated that there was not any up to date data on the existing housing stock in the City. However, a new stock condition survey was now underway as part of the strategy. Councillor Gravells agreed with Councillor Haigh that affordable rent was a key consideration, and stated that he was asking Officers to look at the Local Housing Allowance (LHA), and would also consider this as part of the Joint Core Strategy. In relation to Councillor Haigh 's second query, Councillor Gravells stated that reference is made to both HMOs and student housing in the 2011-2031 City Plan. Councillor Haigh asked that clarification is made between student housing and HMOs.
8.6 Councillor Wilson stated that the report was excellent. However, he expressed his concern with high rent prices in the City, which he believed was a ... view the full minutes text for item 8.
Events and Festivals Plan 2020-21 PDF 126 KB
To receive the report of the Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure which reviews the City Events Programme and delivery model for 2019, and sets out the recommended delivery model and programme for 2020.
Appendix A 2020 Civic and Cultural Events and Festivals , item 9. PDF 117 KB
Appendix B Festivals and Events - Evaluation Framework Detail , item 9. PDF 125 KB
Appendix C Events Future Evaluation Framework Explained , item 9. PDF 174 KB
9.1 The Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure, Councillor Morgan, introduced the new Head of Cultural Services. He then introduced the Festivals and Events Report, and highlighted key elements. Firstly, he referred to paragraph 3.5 which he believed was one of the most important changes. In relation to paragraph 3.6, he explained that city-wide coordination would be starting imminently, and stressed the importance of having conversations with other organisations in the City. Councillor Morgan further highlighted paragraphs 4.2, 4.6, 4.8, and 5.0 and 6.1. Lastly, he drew Members' attention to paragraph 10.1, outlining that at this stage Cabinet was behind schedule with the programme of events, however they would be making progress with this.
9.2 Councillor Stephens was of the view that the Culture and Leisure portfolio had traditionally underperformed in the past, and thus it was important to ensure that any changes to the Festivals and Events programme were watertight. He suggested that, as it stood, the Festivals and Events programme needed some amendments. Firstly, he was concerned with the way the budget for the Festivals and Events programme had been calculated. In particular, he questioned why there was a £50,000 increase in the budget, making the total budget £210,000 for this year. Moreover, he suggested that the breakdown of costs was inadequate, and that more clarity was needed on whether the events would be chargeable.
9.3 Councillor Morgan advised that Cabinet and Officers were still in the early stages of the festivals and events programme, and thus were not able to include all costs. For example, staffing costs had not yet been included in the budget. Councillor Morgan explained that although work was underway, the report was kept deliberately vague to allow for flexibility. For example, organisations could still approach the Council.
9.4 The Head of Cultural Services explained that there would be a change in the model of delivery for events in the City. The onus would be on organisations to deliver events, and to come up with robust plans. Moreover, whilst the Council would provide some funding towards the costs of events, the total cost of events would likely exceed this. As such, organisations would be expected to leverage additional funding.
9.5 Councillor Stephens queried whether events would still be held in the event that no organisation would be available to deliver the event. Councillor Morgan responded to say that given the aspirations to change, it would not necessarily be the same types of events which would be delivered, and it might be that the previous events may not be held under the new festivals and events programme.
9.6 Councillor Stephens reiterated his concerns that the report was lacking a full breakdown of the costs which would be involved in the delivery of events. For example, in situations where organisations would have to obtain private funding. He believed that a review was needed in a few months' time.
9.7 The Chair agreed with the view that a review would be needed in a few months' time. ... view the full minutes text for item 9.
