At 9pm remainder of battalion & 7th Buffs reorganised for defence of Longueval Alley in conjunction with present garrison.

On 24th April the battalion was defending Villers Bretoneux against a German attack: "All was ready to receive the advancing waves of German infantry, but it must be admitted that some of the stoutest hearts were filled with something approaching dismay when out of the fog, at a distance of 40 to 50 yards, loomed the weird forms of German tanks...there is no doubt that the sudden appearance of these monsters shook our defence for a moment, and the men fell back a short distance. They remained perfectly under control, and were rapidly rallied by their officers a short distance in rear of the front trench, after which the German infantry, advancing in three waves close behind the tanks, were hotly engaged with rifle and Lewis gun fire, which inflicted heavy loss on them...The first news of what was occurring in front was received at Battalion Headquarters from Morton in a message timed 6.30am: 'Tanks have crossed front line trenches, front line has fallen back, have rallied them at Company HQ line'. Steadily the tanks pressed our line back though our retirement was carried out gradually and at ghastly loss to the German infantry ...The heavy casualties sustained this day in 'missing' were due to the fact that in retirement the Battalion was forced to leave many men, who might otherwise have been saved, in the enemy's hands". The casualties included 24 killed, 113 wounded, and 205 missing. Lance Corporal Short was killed in action.

"I beg to report that the patrol under Lieutenant Davis which left my lines on the night of the 4/5th October and was reported by me on the morning of the 5th as missing has since returned. Lieutenant Davis is slightly wounded; one O.R killed, two O.R slightly wounded. This patrol consisting of one Officer and 3 O.Rs left…on the night of the 4th/5th October at 12.30am and proceeded to the enemy's lines…for the purpose of keeping the enemy wire which had been cut by our trench mortars under observation and to prevent it being repaired; also if possible, to capture a prisoner or bring back an identification. On reaching the gap in the wire Lieutenant Davis discovered that some coils of fresh concertina wire had been placed close to the gap. He anticipated that this had been so placed for the purpose of repairing the gap, so waited on the chance of capturing a prisoner from a working party. He heard no sign of life in the enemy's trenches, and as daylight was approaching he decided to withdraw. On reaching the neighbourhood of our wire a machine gun opened fire, and inflicted the casualties mentioned. Lieutenant Davis being uncertain of his whereabouts, withdrew the party into a neighbouring shell-hole and awaited daylight. They remained there without food or water until 7pm when it was dark enough to return to our lines. The man killed has been located today and will be brought in during the night. I consider the conduct of Lieutenant Davis, under very trying circumstances, is very praiseworthy, for the coolness and resource shown by him in a sudden emergency. He states that the men behaved excellently under the very trying circumstances in which they were placed. 6/10/16 W.Newton Lieutenant Colonel Commanding 13th Battalion East Surrey Regiment."

THOMPSON, Rupert Archibald
Cemetery / Memorial: Faubourg d'Amiens Cemetery, Arras
Reference: III.N.6
CWGC Notes: Son of Henry and Mabel Sophia Thompson, of 9 Station Rd, Carshalton
Additional Information: Strangely, in Soldiers Died in The Great War, his name is given as Robert Arthur Thompson. It seems that for some reason he gave different forenames when he enlisted. In an even more bizarre twist, his memorial plaque (sent to families of soldiers who died) was dug up in a field near Flitton, Bedfordshire, by a metal detectorist. This plaque also gave his name as Robert Arthur, but quite how it ended up buried in the field is a mystery. In April 1917 the battalion was in Arras – "The night was quiet, we found large working parties. Our Artillery Fire opened at 6.15am, bombardment was heavy but not intense. Enemy shelled Arras during the morning, one shell burst in Museum [trench] burying some men of C Company. 6 ORs killed and 26 wounded, we also had 4 men killed and 3 wounded by a shell when they were fetching rations."

WARNER, Daniel
Reference: XIX.H.17A
Additional Information: Born in Croydon, lived at 2 Riverside Villas, Mill Lane, Carshalton. A labourer before he enlisted in December 1915. Died of wounds, probably received during a battalion assault on April 13th near Arras: "6.45pm - On leaving the assembly position the battalion came under a hostile artillery barrage... As it advanced it went through two more barrages the latter of which was very heavy consisting of HE and gas shells...The battalion came under very heavy MG and rifle fire from both flanks but chiefly from our right flank in the direction of Guemappe and Wancourt...The battalion continued to advance and reached the sunken road where they were held up by very heavy MG and rifle fire...There were now only 3 officers left with the companies...This was about 8pm...The battalion received orders to withdraw at about 1am.' None of the objectives were taken and casualties included 3 officers killed and 2 wounded; 12 other ranks killed, 40 wounded, and 34 missing.

CWGC Notes: Son of Henry and Kate Warren, of Vine Cottage, 7 Harold Rd, Sutton. Born at Torquay, Devon
Additional Information: Gave his age as 19 years 2 months when he enlisted in September 1915, and his occupation as chauffeur. The 1901 census gives his age as 2, so he was born in 1899 and was more likely 16 when he enlisted. Previously served in the East Surrey Regiment.
WATKINSON, Edward
Age: 18 (but see notes below)
CWGC Notes: Son of the late Mr. and Mrs. C. Watkinson
Additional Information: The Surrey Recruitment Register states that Edward was born in Carshalton and was a warehouseman. It also gives his age as 19 years 2 months when he enlisted on 1st September 1914. This would make him 21 at the time of his death and seems to be corroborated by the 1901 census, which shows that he was 6 years old. He was killed in action during an action north of Ovillers, 12th August – "Zero was at 10.30pm when the artillery opened at intense bombardment on the enemy's lines until 10.33pm when our companies assaulted the positions...Both our front line companies went out under cover of our bombardment and worked up as close to our barrage as possible. B Company on assaulting were met with machine gun fire and the enemy put up a barrage of bombs all along their trench, rendering it impossible to get near, the men having to get into shell holes and remain where they were...No more information has been received of D Company...as far as can be ascertained [they] worked too much to the left...[their] supports never found any trace of the front platoons except a few wounded. All men who saw into the German trench agree that the enemy was in great strength in his trenches and that many had overcoats or packs on, so it is thought that a relief may have been in progress. The ground was exceedingly difficult to keep direction on, on account of the huge craters caused by our bombardment and trench mortars." There were 169 casualties/missing.

What does Sandra Bridie do?
Future generations may well look back at the history of Art (after it's all done and dusted) and characterise it as an epic struggle between creativity and commodification. At every stage of this history we find art being championed as a vehicle for experimental processes and fantastic possibilities. But, at the same time, we find forces that seek to contain these possibilities and take possession of these processes, regulating creativity within the limits of a commercial market or an individualistic career.
If the history of Art does come to be remembered within the parameters of this compromised economy, then Sandra Bridie will probably be completely forgotten, because her practice eludes this struggle and allows itself to be carried away on the unbridled flows of the imagination.
Julie Davies has set herself the challenging task of creating a portrait of this whimsical artist, whose 'career' has been elaborated through a succession of personae and collaborative projects that obscure any clear picture of the individual. Over a period of two years, Bridie and Davies have worked together on this task, producing a series of photographs that show Bridie posing or performing in front of projected documentation of her eccentric oeuvre.
The formal qualities of these photographic compositions resonate beautifully with the sombre nature of Bridie's own aesthetic, and pay tribute to the underlying ethic of her post-object practice. It has to be said that this type of simpatico is quite rare in photographic portraits of artists. Most photographers who turn their attention to portraying other artists tend to impose their own aesthetic on their sitters, relying on symbolic references or studio settings to evoke their subject's signature style. Davies, however, allows Bridie's sensibility to infuse the photographs. The subtle layering of Bridie's self-documentation and her subsequent responses to this archival material within the cast of the digital projector, effectively give Davies' photographs an inner luminosity that threatens to dissolve the pictorial space of representational portraiture.
In fact, it is probably misleading to think of these photographs in terms of traditional portraiture because they don't attempt to capture the essence of Bridie's being at all. Davies doesn't pose the question: Who is Sandra Bridie? Instead, she asks: What does Sandra Bridie do? Under what circumstances has she made her presence felt? When, where and why has she been seen? Consequently, the artist is presented to us as a mercurial effect, appearing and disappearing like an atmospheric phenomenon within the luminous layers of these 'composite portraits'.
Perhaps the most remarkable thing about this project is that Davies not only allows Bridie to maintain a fugitive status within her own portraits, but that she encourages us to be intrigued by an artist who deserves to be remembered, despite her own self-effacement. And, in the final instance, Davies lets the most artistic of all questions hang in the air around these portraits: What will happen next?

Changes to furlough and self employment income protection schemes
The Government has announced a tapering of its furlough scheme for employed workers, and an extension of the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS).
Updating your CV during furlough
No change for the next two months
Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced on Friday that for the next two months, until the end of July 2020, the furlough scheme will continue on the same basis – with the Government paying 80% of wages up to a cap of £2,500.
Changes being phased in
During August the furlough scheme will continue, but employers will be asked to pay national insurance and employer pension contributions.
In September, employers will be asked to pay 10% of wages and the Government will pay 70%. In October, the last month for the scheme, employers will pay 20% and the Government 60%. After this time the scheme will close
Flexible furlough
Sunak also announced plans for a flexible furlough scheme from 1st July under which employers can bring people back part time, on a few days a week with the Government topping up the rest of their wages. In order to put this in place, he announced that the furlough scheme would close to new joiners at the end of June, so employers wanting to place new employees on the scheme will need to do so by 10th June to allow time for them to complete the minimum furlough period of 3 weeks before this deadline.
Self Employment Income Support Scheme
The Government has said that in August self-employed people eligible for SEISS will be able to claim 70 per cent of their average trading profits (up to a cap of £6,570) for the months of June, July and August.
The Association of Independent Professionals and the Self-Employed (IPSE) has welcomed the announcement, but warned that the government has "patently forgotten" groups like limited company directors and the newly self-employed and urged it to do more for them.
Andy Chamberlain, Director of Policy at IPSE, said: "It will be an overwhelming relief for many self-employed people that the government has heeded our calls and extended SEISS. The scheme is a vital lifeline for millions of people and it is absolutely right that the Government keeps it running.
"It is fair that, as with the Job Retention Scheme, the Government has tapered the support on offer for the self-employed. However, it is disappointing that there will still be two months when employees can access support and the self-employed cannot. The Government should watch the situation carefully and be ready to step in if the UK's self-employed need more support.
He added: "It is also vital that the Government does not ignore the self-employed who cannot access this scheme. At the moment, groups like freelancers working through limited companies and the newly self-employed have patently been forgotten. We urge the Government to consider these groups and also help them through the coming months."

A Queen's Institute District Nursing Badge for 21 Years Service, silver-gilt hallmarked version, ... CMA/27006
A Queen's Institute District Nursing Badge for 21 Years Service, silver-gilt hallmarked version, awarded to Queen's Nurse Mary Whiting circa 1949. The Queen's Institute District Nursing is now known as the Queen's Nursing Institute.
Condition: Good Very Fine
Queen's Institute District Nursing Badge for 21 Years Service, silver-gilt and enamels, hallmarks for Birmingham with date letter 'Z' for 1949. Reverse engraved: 'MARY WHITING FOR 21 YEARS' SERVICE'.
Condition: Good Very Fine.
In 1859, Liverpool merchant and philanthropist William Rathbone employed a nurse named Mary Robinson to care for his wife at home during her final illness. After his wife's death Rathbone decided to employ Robinson to nurse people in their own homes who could not afford medical care. The success of this early experiment encouraged him to campaign for more nurses to be employed in the community.
Elizabeth Malleson who was concerned to find that there was little local service of nurses for pregnant women in the 1880s. Malleson arranged for a trained nurse and midwife to be available to serve the people of Gotherington. Malleson's scheme was not the first but she decided to form a national organisation and her appeal for help brought her into contact with Lady Lucy Hicks-Beach. She was the wife of Michael Hicks Beach, 1st Earl St Aldwyn and they gathered enough support to launch a Rural Nursing Association. This was despite the opposition of Florence Nightingale.
These were the beginning of organised district nursing. By the end of the 19th century, with the approval of Queen Victoria, the movement became a national voluntary organisation responsible for setting standards and training nurses. In 1887 'the women of England' raised a Jubilee Fund of £70,000 to mark Victoria's Golden Jubilee. The Queen announced that the money should be used for nursing, and Queen Victoria's Jubilee Institute for Nurses was chartered in 1889. Elizabeth Malleson's nurses became the Rural Nursing Division in 1891 was Malleson was its secretary. Rosalind Paget was the main organisation's first Superintendent, and later Inspector-General. Queen Alexandra agreed to be patron in 1901, and a Queen has been Patron of the charity ever since. From 1928 the Institute was known as The Queen's Institute of District Nursing, until it assumed its present name in 1973. Nurses are known as Queen's Nurses.

CATs and Drones: The Case for Drones in Disaster Recovery
July 24, 2020 | By: Darren Keuhl
On September 1st, 2019, the Category 5 Hurricane Dorian – the strongest in the history of the Bahamas – made landfall over the northwest part of the country. The storm damaged infrastructure and caused massive flooding on the islands of Abaco and Grand Bahama. Forty-three people were killed and over 76,000 people were ultimately affected by the storm.
Immediately following the storm, GlobalMedic deployed a Rapid Response Team, including the RescUAV Team to provide on-ground assistance. A recognized expert drone pilot and instructor, Origin and Cause's Darren Keuhl was contacted by GlobalMedic: "They were short qualified pilots who could go down to the Bahamas. They knew about me through some training packages I had put together for them and asked if I could get on a plane."
As a volunteer in the Bahamas for the next two weeks, Darren took aerial photographs and mapped Greater Abaco Island along with Team Lead, Dan Cyr and retired Toronto district fire chief, Rob McNamara. The maps were given to the local government to be used in the rebuilding effort.
"We were targeting all the populated areas. Mainly Marsh Harbour because it was the most devastated, but the United Nations World Food Programme also had a list of some specific sites and towns that they wanted mapped. With the drone, we were able to get an up-close look at the area – as compared to a satellite image. This helped officials know where infrastructure sustained the most damage and where they needed to send assets."
The RescUAV Team that Darren was a member of mapped over 4,500 hectares and took 44,000 pictures in Grand Bahama and over 1,000 hectares and 8,900 images in Abaco which were shared with local officials.
"It was gratifying to be able to take a skill set I learned in my profession and use it to do something on that scale. It also made me realize what can be done with drones, on a global level, for catastrophe teams."
Advantages of Using Drones
A Better View
If you need an aerial survey of a large area after a catastrophe, helicopters and aircraft are going to be extremely expensive. But you can put a drone team down with their equipment, get the proper permission to fly and start mapping and doing structural inspections almost immediately. Drones can be flown to a maximum altitude of 400 ft above the ground for a complete site evaluation.
Clear documentation helps settle claims quickly and fairly. Employing Drone Deployment allows us to efficiently document damage to help adjusters and contractors. The software provides precise measurements and additional data to assist with scoping and repair or rebuild estimates, including volume metrics, area and slope, all calculated with extreme accuracy. Once a flight is complete, all photos and videos can be reviewed on–site to make sure all the necessary information has been captured.
We can fly a systematic grid of a site to later render and recreate the scene in two-dimensional and three-dimensional modelling, essentially preserving the scene in a time capsule. It's imperative to capture a scene as it is at the time of the loss because once a site is turned over, the evidence is gone. The rendered models can be viewed at any time, whether it's three months or three years later. This kind of documentation is especially crucial for claims that may end up in litigation.
Appraising property claims, even under "normal" circumstances can be hazardous. In a CAT scenario, whether it's a wildfire, flood, ice storm or hurricane, damage to structures can be so extreme as to render them altogether unsafe for adjusters, contractors and engineers to enter. Drones can fly very close to structures and rooflines, as well as enter heavily damaged and compromised buildings. And with the guidance of a structural engineer, they can gather evidence, examine damage and aid in the evaluation of the rebuild or repair, as well as assist adjusters in verifying coverage for a claim.
Often in the case of natural disasters, adjusters will be overwhelmed with claims, and resources are stretched to the limit. Finding efficiencies in time management is essential. A typical building survey with a drone can be done in a fraction of the time it would take using terrestrial photography, with the added advantage of live streaming as they fly. They also provide a greater aerial perspective and better situational awareness. That means more structures can be examined per day, the collection and flow of information are made more efficient, and resources can be deployed to the areas where they are most urgently needed.
The Right Tool for the Right Job
Drones are just another tool in an adjuster's toolbox. They aren't going to render ladders obsolete and they certainly can't replicate the knowledge and experience that an adjuster, contractor or engineer brings to a scene, but, in the right scenario and the right hands, they do possess advantages that can make things easier, safer and more efficient for everyone involved.

Super Bowl Predictions: ESPN Analysts Pick Packers
By Charlie Wilmoth Feb 5, 2011, 4:19pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Super Bowl Predictions: ESPN Analysts Pick Packers
The Post-Gazette has a huge list of predictions by ESPN analysts, an overwhelming number of whom predict the Packers will win the 2011 Super Bowl. Their reasons for doing so vary from person to person (and there are some who don't really matter, like former Dodgers pitcher Orel Hershiser – that scoreless innings streak was awesome, but I don't care what he has to say about the Super Bowl). But here are a couple:
Tim Hasselbeck:
On paper I see so many areas where the matchup favors the Packers, like Clay Matthews on Flozell Adams or the Packers' ability to put five legitimate wide receivers on the field. Green Bay is set up with a great opportunity to bring home another Lombardi Trophy.
Ryen Russillo:
The Steelers are so good against the run, but the Packers just don't run the football, and they're not going to here. They're going to spread the Steelers out and make Polamalu as ineffective as he's been in any game because when he's in coverage it's a problem.
Several analysts predict the Steelers to win as well, and those include some good ones, like Ron Jaworski and Merril Hoge. Here's Hoge:
Both defenses are outstanding but the Steeler defense is more seasoned and has more flexibility within pressures and coverage. The running game is going to be a factor in this game one way or another and the Steelers have the ability to control the tempo with theirs, and the Packers do not.

Why the squat is the "king" of lifts and should rule your training program.
You squat when you sit down. When you stand up out of a chair. You do single leg squats (albeit with a short range of motion) when you walk up or down stairs. You squat when you pick something up off the floor. Before you jump and when you land after a jump. You squat when you use the… nevermind, you get the idea.
The basis of every effective strength training program, either for sports or general strength development, is the squat. If it isn't part of yours, you need to get a new program.
The squat is a complex multi-joint movement pattern that involves flexion of the hips, knees and ankles. It maintains isometric contraction of the spine erectors and muscles in the lower legs and feet to balance the body's mass over the middle of the foot.
After proper squat depth, sensory information received from the eyes and middle ear, followed by extension of the hips, knees and ankles against the force of gravity return the body a full standing position. Squats can be performed through a broad range of motion, from a subtle bending of the hips and knees to a full "bottom-to-heels" position.
If you search Youtube for about .6 seconds, you can find 47 million (I'm not exaggerating, that's the actual number of search results) videos on how to squat, demonstrations , clips from competitions, weirdos (or narcissists, not sure which) doing "air squats" in public places, and so on. Those results bear witness to how important it is as a strength training movement.
Now I must emphasize that many (perhaps most) of those videos include nonsense, silliness, incorrect information, improper and perhaps even counterproductive advice. However, the fact remains that squatting is almost universally accepted as the most important exercise for improving lower body strength.
There are many types of squat– the air, partial, low bar, high bar, belt, safety bar, goblet, front, split, and jump squat, etc,–as well as multiple variations of each of those types. So, how do you pick the "right" type to use in your training? I suggest that the answer depends on several factors, including your goals, your current physical ability, your access to equipment, etc.
To perform the low bar squat, place the bar on your back in a position just below the spines of the scapulas (shoulder blades). When the bar is in position and trapped against your back by your hands, it should be directly over the middle of the foot. Set your heels about shoulder width apart and turn your toes out a little bit–30-35 degrees out from pointing straight ahead. This will help you maintain balance and get to proper depth.
Take a big breath into your lungs and hold it tight, without letting any air out during the entire repetition. Isometrically contract (squeeze) all the muscles in your torso–upper back & shoulders, mid-back, lower back and abdominal muscles–to keep your back flat in lumbar extension.
Since the event was a competition all lifters were required to lift on certain racks with certain weight sets.
The air locked in your torso and the tight muscles will help you maintain a flat rigid spine through which you transmit force to the bar to lower it under control and raise it up against gravity.
Before you start the squat, pick a spot on the floor 4-5 feet in front of you and keep your eyes on that spot through the entire lift. This helps significantly with balance, focus and spatial orientation. To start the movement, hinge at the hips and the knees simultaneously and allow gravity to pull the bar and your torso down toward the earth. Lean forward so your chest starts to point at the floor while at the same time pushing your hips back and down.
As you descend with the bar on your back, keep yourself balanced over the middle of your foot; don't rock forward on your toes or back on your heels. During the descent, push your knees out so they point the same direction as your toes. This will open your hips and and keep your belly, if you have one, from squishing on your upper thighs and blocking your descent.
Keep going down until the crease of you hip, that little line that forms between your upper thigh and your torso when you bend over, is just below the top of your knee cap. At this point, your chest should be pointing at the floor, your hips should be behind your heels, your knees should be more or less over your toes, and you should still be balanced over the middle of your foot. It is important to keep your back flat in full lumbar extension as you go down.
Once you get to the bottom of your squat, you must stand back up. To go up, keep your eyes on your focal point and drive your hips up into the air in a straight vertical line. Maintain your flat back and your balance over the mid-foot. As your knees and hips extend and straighten, the bar should stay over the knot of your shoelaces.
Keep pushing your knees out through the entire ascent; this allows you to use the muscles around your hips, the adductors and abductors, to help with the extension. Finish the lift with your knees and hips locked out and your back nearly vertical. Repeat this movement for the appropriate number of repetitions to complete your set.
There are several more fine points and details involved in the movement, but those are the basic elements. If you are interested in learning more about the squat, the other barbell lifts or getting stronger, feel free to contact me. Students are welcome to join the FC Barbell Club. Individual and small group coaching is also a possibility.
As I wrote at the beginning of this post, the squat is a natural and essential movement used in everyday life. Doing it with a barbell and gradually increasing the load over time will make you stronger and it will get progressively easier to perform the movement in all of its real-life applications. This doesn't necessarily mean that real life will be easier, but you will be better equipped to handle the hard parts and will therefore be a more functional human.

Hamby Home(in)stead ...: Easter Eggs!
We've had a lovely Easter. So many good things happened, including Vaughan's 8th birthday on Easter Sunday. One of his big sisters arrived on Good Friday for an impromptu Easter/Birthday visit - the same day that we received four eggs from our chookies (for the first time ever)! They laid another four today (Easter Monday) on the anniversary of their arrival, so there has been speculation that they were getting into the Easter spirit - or that the failed hot cross buns really agreed with them!
Our chookies laid 20 eggs during their first week with us - a very impressive effort, indeed! We ate some of their eggs yesterday for our breakfast - carefully coloured by way of a special morning science experiment in celebration of Easter and Vaughan's birthday. (You can see how yellow the yolks are in the pic at right).
Vaughan checks for eggs at least several times a day. He discovered some extra-special eggs yesterday morning - it seems the Easter Bunny has a sense of humour!

Over the river and through the woods to 2 Grandmother's houses we go…and along the way, we make stops. Not for hot chocolate but for cheese! I noted this shop on my route to the festivities and stopped on the way back.
Where in the World are we? They had large viewing windows sharing the planks of cheese wheels which would have been a perfect photo op. But I did not bring my catalog inside with me. The parking lot was ice sheets so I opted for this photo from my car instead on my way out.
I purchased the black mustard, mustard melange and honey clover cheeses which will be oh so good on grilled cheeses!
Comment below if you know what town I was in and what your favorite variety of cheese from this shop is!
Yesterday I shared that I love the gingerbread pattern on the Candy Cane Lane designer series paper. Today I have a 6×3 greeting card to share using 2 other patterns from this package. We have a coordinating gingerbread stamp set and punch that made creating with this suite of products fun!
Every year when I prepare my holiday neighbor gifts, the Mr. Roger's Neighborhood song plays in my head. I hear, "will you be mine, will you be mine, won't you be my neighbor?" Not sure if those are the lyrics but that is what I remember.
I decided not to bake sweets this year opting instead to gift a trio of hand stamped greeting cards. Included were 2 birthdays and 1 thank you card plus their holiday card. Ok, the real reason I gifted this package was so that I could use the gingerbread patterned paper since I like that pattern so much. I'll be hoarding what I have left until a good amount makes it onto a scrapbook page!
So won't you be my neighbor?
The Ugly Sweater Addition! I so love the cable knit embossing folder. I see more creations using this folder during the upcoming winter months!
Here are 2 designs that my Mom and I whipped out for a card exchange with her stampin friends. Although the patterned paper is retired Stampin' Up!, we had to go outside of Stampin' Up! for bling!
Yes, those are mini, real ugly sweaters! Mom has the greatest props!
Rudolph and the reindeer gang card was created by Cheryl Wenker.
Last, this design is not so ugly and shares the versatility of our stamp sets. The Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set has images of Rudolph, Santa, Gingi, Bear and this Eskimo. The same punch cuts all these images as well!
Eskimo was created by an unknown designer. Let me know if it was you so I can give you credit!
I hope you enjoyed my Parade of Holiday Cheer! Not sure if I will create any more posts before this weekend, so I'll say Merry Christmas to you!
P.S. I do have an idea for one more post. It involves the story of why half of you will receive your Christmas cards next week. So if you have not already received your card from me, you are in that group! It's a groaner for sure!


For many years Ability Beyond Disability has been helping to successfully place individuals with disabilities in competitive jobs. Over time it has become apparent that there are many benefits to hiring individuals with disabilities; people with disabilities are more likely to stay with an employer, reducing turnover rates and saving money and their absentee rates are lower compared to your "typical" employee. Rather than continue to work with companies solely when they are looking to fill one position, Ability Beyond Disability is now offering Corporate Consultation services. Essentially, Ability Beyond Disability will be working with a company to identify positions where they can hire individuals with disabilities on a larger scale.
Recently, Ability Beyond Disability has partnered with PepsiCo North America Beverages (NAB) to identify opportunities to actively recruit, hire and retain qualified individuals with disabilities in all areas of their operations. PepsiCo featured the partnership in their internal newsletter PEPline saying, "Building a strong talent base that includes people with disabilities positions us to better connect with all types of consumers, which is definitely a business objective of our Diversity & Inclusion platform," said Marty Bean, EnAble executive sponsor and vice president, Marketing Equipment, Supply Chain/Operations – NAB. PepsiCo NAB will be piloting the program in two U.S. locations. Activities will include job task analysis, outreach and hiring opportunity identification, human resources policy review and training program development. The initial hiring model and implementation plan will be NAB-specific, but the models could potentially be used within other PepsiCo business units across North America.
To advise on our Corporate Consultation services, Ability Beyond Disability has been working with James Emmett, a national leader in the development of employment services for individuals with disabilities. James was born with a physical disability and is a father to two daughters with developmental disabilities. Drawing from personal, business and educational experience, James trains corporations in outreach efforts to the disability community. He currently serves as the Vice President of Workplace Initiatives for the Poses Family Foundation and is on the leadership team for the OfficeMax "Maxing Out Diversity" Project. James worked on the national initiatives to hire hundreds of people with disabilities at Walgreens distribution centers in South Carolina and Connecticut, Best Buy distribution center in Kentucky and Midway Moving & Storage in Chicago.

Absolutes Nichts oder schlechthinniges Nichts (nihil simpliciter) ist ein Modalbegriff der Metaphysik und Schöpfungstheologie des Johannes Duns Scotus (1266–1308), der sich auf Nichtexistentes bezieht, das nicht einmal möglicherweise existieren könnte, auch nicht als nur-im-Geiste-seiend. Als "absolut nichtig" bezeichnet Duns Scotus sogenannte incompossibilia, fiktive Objekte (Figmente), deren Wesensform eine Kombination von miteinander unverträglichen Komponenten wäre, die sich nicht einmal gedanklich zu einem Gegenstand verbinden lassen und daher prinzipiell nicht verursachbar sind.

Absolutes Nichts, Einfachheit und Möglichkeit
Incompossibilia sind also nicht nur im Verhältnis zu anderem (zu bestimmten Umständen, zu existenten Objekten oder zum Willen Gottes) unmöglich, sondern ihrer eigenen Wesensform nach, weshalb Duns Scotus von einer formalen Unmöglichkeit (d. i. einer Unmöglichkeit der Form nach) spricht und von einem "nihil simpliciter", also einem Nichts-einfachhin (statt Nichts-relativ-auf-Anderes). Ausgeschlossen sind daher ihr Sein an sich, ihr Wirklich-Sein wie auch ihr Möglich-Sein und mithin ihre widerspruchsfreie Denkbarkeit.

Dagegen müsse z. B. bei Gottes Schöpfung als creatio ex nihilo das Nichts, aus welchem Gott alles Seiende erschafft, als (nur) relatives Nichts verstanden werden; ihm kann und muss durchaus die Möglichkeit, zu sein, zugeschrieben werden; Gott erwägt gleichsam die schaffbaren Objekte in seinem Geiste und schafft sie aus absoluter Freiheit, d. h. ohne absolute oder relative Notwendigkeit. Einzig Gott kommt absolute Notwendigkeit zu, umgekehrt gibt es keineswegs ein in sich Eines, das der Form nach in sich unmöglich ist; vielmehr erklärt Duns Scotus das schlechthin Nichtige eben durch Inkompossibilität von per se mehreren Komponenten einer (fiktiven) Wesensform.

Duns Scotus schlägt (im Unterschied zu Aristoteles, Thomas von Aquin und vielen anderen) eine allgemeine Verwendung des Terminus 'seiend' (ens) vor, der in ein und demselben Sinne (univok) sowohl von endlichen Objekten als auch z. B. vom Göttlichen ausgesagt werden könne. In dieser allgemeinen Verwendung gilt als 'seiend' alles, dem eine Wesenheit (quidditas) zukommt – ob ein Objekt auch aktual existiert, ist für diese Verwendung von "seiend" unerheblich. Zum Umfang des 'Seienden' zählt daher sowohl das, was in Wirklichkeit existiert, als auch das, was möglicherweise existieren kann (possibilia). Seiendes oder ein Ding ist also alles, was nicht Nichts ist, sei es nun auch in Wirklichkeit oder nur im Geiste. Dieser Unterscheidung entspricht umgekehrt diejenige von relativem und absolutem Nichts.

Rezeption
Vermutlich seit dem Scotismus und dann auch in der deutschen Schulphilosophie (etwa bei Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten, Christian Wolff) wurde außerdem unterschieden zwischen einem nihil privativum (Nichtexistentes, dessen Existenz aber möglich ist) und einem nihil negativum, das unmöglich existieren kann. Auch neuzeitliche Diskussionen über die Kompossibilität von Begriffen und Substanzen, wie sie insbesondere von Leibniz weitergeführt werden, stehen in der Tradition dieser scotistischen terminologischen Unterscheidungen und ihren Anwendungen.
