The World English Dictionary defines a Power of Attorney as: 1.) legal authority to act for another person in certain specified matters. 2.) the document conferring such authority.
The person who signs the power of attorney is the person giving authority to someone else to act on his or her behalf. The signer is called the "principal". The person who is given authority in the power of attorney to act on the principal's behalf is called the "agent" or "attorney in fact".
Provides broad and extensive powers to act.
Provides only specific powers to act.
The powers to act are not effective until the signer is determined to be mentally incompetent as confirmed in writing signed by the physician then most recently regularly attending the person giving the powers.
Gives the agent the ability to communicate to the signer's physician when the signer is unable. This document is also known as an Advance Health Care Directive.
We can have your Power of Attorney ready to take with you on your first appointment. As the principal, you choose who to name as your agent (the person given authority in the Power of Attorney) and have the option to name alternate agents or co-agents. You can give all powers to handle any legal or financial transactions or you can limit the authority given. The powers can be broad to include all financial and legal matters or can be specific to only certain acts. Special instructions can be given such as the time period that the power of attorney is valid. A power of attorney is no longer valid upon the death of the signer.
The document must be signed in front of a notary public. The notary certifies the identity of the signer. Identity is proven with satisfactory identification. The notary also determines the signer's awareness and willingness to sign. The signer's thumbprint will be taken to further validate the signature and deter fraud. Our price includes the notary fees. Our team can schedule appointments the same or next day to prepare your power of attorney. Your power of attorney will be prepared while you wait and notarized before the end of your appointment.
Pair your Power of Attorney with an Advanced Healthcare Directive or Advanced Healthcare Directive & Will for added value and piece of mind.

Economics Business
Dr John Smith: Best-selling author, columnist and commentator. Keynote speaker, Anthropologist, Bikie, Preacher, Businessman, Author, Advocate - these are all Dr. John Smith.
His messages on the challenges and contradictions of our times are as powerful as his Harley Davidson at full throttle. A personal friend of Bono from U2 (who dedicated a song to John on their recent Australian tour) and a man who has a passion for teaching, John challenges and empowers people from all walks of life and all backgrounds.
He is as committed to transforming businesses as he is to helping youth and society's outcasts. John is a passionate story-teller, who has lived on the fringe and has written or co-authored five books ('Advance Australia Where' over 80,000 copies) He has completed six years of doctoral studies in the United States, focussing on cross-cultural studies, including corporate culture, charismatic leadership and globalisation. He offers powerful historic, economic and ethical perspectives on modern business. His life has been extraordinary. He was gaoled and nearly executed in the Philippines for defending the rights of rural peasants and has been an advocate for the marginalised peoples of Mexico, El Salvador and Nicaragua.
As founder and Executive Director of five highly successful youth outreach organisations, Dr. John Smith has turned young lives around. As pioneer of the 'Values for Life' schools seminars, John has spoken to students in more than four thousand Australian high schools. The 'Handbrake Turn' training and rehabilitation program boasts a success rate of 85% in reducing youth offender recidivism. John's message goes to the heart of those in business who are seeking not only sustainability and success, but also a great sense of direction in their working lives. His message is entertaining, engaging and relevant; he has spoken around the world at music and arts festivals, shared the stage with former President Jimmy Carter and addressed a full hearing of the United Nations Human Rights Commission.
'Smithy' has appeared as a regular commentator on Australian television and radio, and as a guest on the BBC, including an appearance with General Schwarzkopf on the 'David Frost Show'. He has appeared in feature length articles in leading newspapers throughout Europe and Australia. John was also a regular columnist for The Age.
The Self-Esteem Myth
Self-Esteem and how it affects almost every aspect of our lives, including corporations like Enron, The Global Financial Crises and attitudes in the Corporate Board Rooms.
Advance Australia Where?
'A lack of meaning in the land of plenty' John's best-selling book (0ver 80,00 copies sold). "I agree with much in this book. John Smith deserves to be read by as many people as possible". Professor Manning Clark.
The Current Ageist Trends.
In almost every walk of life from the media to Churches we are inundated with images of youth. While the Government encourages Australians to stay in the work place longer, in practise it is getting harder and harder for those over 45 to remain in their choice of work and harder still to find work.
There is much in media about the generations 1920's to Boomers and today's youth. John through his anthropologist studies blows the myths away and gives great insight for anyone working in the media or advertising industries.
Rebels, Outlaws, Misfits - (and other resources your business cannot do without! )
"Who of us has not met a business leader whose arms sport tattoos from early rebel days?" In an exciting presentation, rich in anecdotes from an extraordinary life spent amongst society's outlaws, John Smith offers corporate advice from unexpected and unorthodox sources, and reveals the promise of unconventional risk-taking.
As a keynote address, or in-depth workshop presentation, John Smith weaves anecdote, academic research, historical analysis, cultural anthropology and spiritual perspective to deliver management skills that business school never taught you.
Is Darth Vader Lurking in the Board Room?
In this presentation, Dr. John Smith confronts creativity gone wrong - the 'Dark Side of the Force' - and its hold on some businesses.
In a humorous and illuminating presentation, Dr. John discusses the right use of the 'Energising Force' so that genius, creativity and organisational strength may enhance and not destroy the enterprise and the surrounding social matrix. He shares anecdotal and academic perspectives on dysfunctional personalities, distorted perceptions, de-personalised relationships and unworthy motivations.
Feeling Good About Doing Bad - Time for a Corporate Reality Check
Why is it that in international performance assessments, American maths and science students are sixteenth and seventeenth respectively in performance, but first in self-esteem? In contrast, Asian students score among the best in performance, but are lowest in self-esteem. Dr. John Smith, business anthropologist, reveals the myths and self-delusion that enable us to feel good about poor performance. He exposes the mission statements and ethics codes that conceal reality, and the exhilaration and sustainable profit of 'doing it right'.
Life, Liberty and the Persuit of Profits
Prominent journalist ("The New Republic, ESPN, and The Atlantic Monthly") asks in "The Progress Paradox" - how can life be getting better while people feel worse? Prominent Australian scientist and epidemiologist Richard Eckersley claims a severe crisis in youth mental and social health is the result of lack of morality and meaning. Academic Clive Hamilton in "The Freedom Paradox" claims that we are deprived of our inner freedom by our very persuit of our own desires. We have it all now - freedom, sexual equality, social inclusion and lots of consumer goods, yet the quest for fulfilment apparently alludes us as clinical depression increases remarkably. How can we balance liberty, profitability, extraordinary diversity of pleasures with family stability, real fulfilment and meaning in life?
The Complexity of Growth
When discovering he had cancer, John Smith recognised a paradigm in his condition Growth of the economy, growth of company profits and even church growth have become acceptable obsessions in global culture. But cancer cells have the fastest growth, the most robust life without a used by date as other bodily cells - and they kill you. Suzuki sees the belief in unlimited growth on a planet of limited resources as an ultimately disastrous direction. When is growth healthy for companies and nations? What are the limitations of growth? How do we establish healthy limitations with exciting aspirations personally and corporately?
not only did John deliver an inspirational and thought-provoking presentation on business values and ethics, but he took the time to speak to almost every delegate one-on-one. Very few speakers have ever served our company so well.
- Executive Chairman, Garrisons
I can think of no other Australian who has earned the admiration and respect of so many, in spite of challenging the assumptions and practices of their lifestyles.
- Former Federal Minister for Justice, Senator Michael Tate
Simply magnificent
- Regional Sales Manager, AMP
Truly a preacher to the convertible....John Smith's message is for people who want to do more than just listen.

RCM_Volume 3_Issue 2_Pages 69-72.pdf
Official URL: http://rcm.mums.ac.ir/article_6357.html
Introduction: Administration of methylene blue has been proposed as a therapeutic strategy in the treatment of vasopelgic shock following cardiac surgery. Major aims of this systematic review were to evaluate the effect of methylene blue on mortality rate, duration of vasoplegic syndrome, and further complications of patients with vasoplegic syndrome following cardiac surgery. Methods: PubMed was searched to obtain the most relevant articles. All the randomized control trials and cohort studies were included.Result: A total of 54 articles were retrieved at the initial search. After studying the titles, abstracts, and full text of the articles, only five articles consisted of two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and two observational studies were included.Discussion: Based on included RCTs, the mortality rate and duration of the disease decreased in patients applied methylene blue in the treatment of vasoplegic syndrome compared with those did not receive this medication.Conclusions: Bbased on included articles, application of methylene blue could be suggested as a treatment for vasoplegic syndrome, but further large multicenter RCTs are needed to certainly evaluate the efficacy of methylene blue.

How to Impress a Lock to Make a Key
By: Carl O'Donnell
key image by Bosko Martinovic from Fotolia.com
Solitaire - 100% Free to Play Online
Impressing locks to make your own keys is not only a useful skill, it's the basis for a lifelong profession. Unlike lock picking, which is relatively easy to learn and offers only a one-time quick fix, impressing a lock is a difficult and nuanced craft that offers a permanent solution for locks in need of keys. The materials are simple and cheap and the task is doable, but for those who are interested in honing their skills to the point where they can regularly replace lost keys, a great deal of patience and practice is needed.
Key Grinder
60-Grit Sandpaper
Key Blank
Purchase a key blank that fits the same length and width specifications as the lock's previous key. A key blank is a key without a pattern engraved into it. The portion that would normally have teeth is smooth and squared off.
Sharpen the bottom edge of the key blank with a file. This is the edge where the pattern will be carved. Make sure that you hold each side of the key blank's bottom edge at a 45-degree angle and sharpen it until it is as sharp as a knife on both sides.
Slide the key blank gently into the lock hole. When you remove the key from the lock hole, you should see an impression left by the teeth of the lock hole in the exact placement of where you would like the teeth of your new key to be. Do not lubricate either the blank or the lock hole when trying to push the blank into the lock; doing so will ruin the impression.
Use a marker to trace the pattern left by the lock's impression on the key blank. Locate a key grinder and grind the key according to the pattern you have traced. Although every grinder varies in its means of operation, it is vital that users of all grinders wear goggles to protect them from the sparks that are generated. When you are finished grinding, apply a 60-grit piece of damp sandpaper to the key and wipe off any excess metallic flakes.

Suffolk County is now accepting calls to make an appointment for its coronavirus testing site, however, the site itself is not up and running as of yet.
County Executive Steve Bellone made an announcement during a media briefing Tuesday that Suffolk's testing site will be up and running by the end of the week.

The number to call for an appointment is 1-888-364-3065. Bellone said when people call, a nurse will assess their situation and determine if testing is appropriate.
Also during the call, Bellone said $500,000 from the Department of Public Works' snow removal funds will now be used for emergency response efforts. He added that the county is also accepting $700,000 from the state health department to help local health departments.

As far as local businesses, Bellone said a business services unit will be housed in the county labor department and is available to answer any calls from small business owners. He also said that the Department of Economic Development and Planning, along with the Suffolk Department of Labor are working on a business response plan that should be available in coming weeks.
Lastly, Bellone updated the number of positive cases of coronavirus in the county to at least 97. He said the cases are the result of community transmission. So far, three patients have died from coronavirus in Suffolk.
The county executive encouraged Suffolk residents to sign up for Smart911, which provides emergency responders with critical information. He says it gives the community a way to be proactive during the outbreak.

Funding Update
Artistic Director Paul Miller, Executive Director Sarah Nicholson and Chair of the Board Richard Humphreys issue a statement on the future of funding at the Orange Tree Theatre
We wanted to give all those with an interest in the future of the Orange Tree an update on our funding. The last two and a half years have seen plenty of good news at the OT with consistently strong audience figures averaging 85% capacity, including very high numbers of newcomers and under 30s. Our reach also extends to the active engagement with 10,000 young people each year through our Education and Participation programme. We have won 11 major industry awards. And in 2016 alone our work played in 24 other towns and cities.
Since April 2015, when we left the National Portfolio and therefore ceased to receive annual funding from Arts Council England (ACE), we have cut core costs significantly and created a new producing model which includes collaborating with other organisations outside of London.
We are delighted that we are so popular with our audiences but even if we sold out at every performance ticket sales could only provide 70% of the income we need. We have a three-year Business Plan that does not include core regular funding from ACE but instead aims to achieve a target of 25% fundraised income by 2019-20, with another 10% coming from statutory sources.
At the same time, there's been a further tightening in the funding climate. ACE's national priority is to ensure that any new money is invested outside of London, whilst the Portfolio must also now include libraries and museums. Having taken stock of our specific situation, and understanding these pressures on the public purse, we have taken the decision not to submit an NPO application for the 2018-22 period.
We continue to have an excellent relationship with ACE, and last year we were successful in achieving Catalyst: Evolve investment in fundraising, and Grants for the Arts support towards additional activity to develop new work and support emerging artists. Considering the breadth of funding streams available at ACE we feel that Grants for the Arts and strategic funding are a better fit for the OT at this time.
We wholly support the five goals that ACE has set out for 2010-2020, so this decision doesn't alter the artistic direction of the theatre. We will continue to make a unique contribution to the national theatre ecology by mixing new work by emerging artists with pertinent re-discoveries from our rich heritage. We are a producing theatre that collaborates with other companies and there are no plans for that to change. We will remain members of UK Theatre and work within Equity and UKT agreements.
We are confident in the robustness of our Business Plan over the next three years, yet we want to emphasise that its success is reliant on the increasing support of our funders and our audiences. Our fundraising strategy involves a diverse mix of individual donations, memberships, grant support (from trusts and foundations), business sponsorship and legacies. And we are very proud to be supported by the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.
Those wishing to demonstrate their support may be interested in our :DISCOVER campaign – donations to which will be matched by ACE as part of the Catalyst:Evolve programme.
Statement by Neil Darlison, Director, Theatre and London of Arts Council England:
"The Orange Tree goes from strength to strength; its programme is increasingly collaborative, it is attracting significant numbers of new audiences and it is producing theatre of the highest quality. I couldn't be more pleased that it has achieved this, and much more, over the last couple of years."

As infants grow into toddlers, they start to grow out of their car seats, cribs, highchairs, and other furniture. One of the ways that parents can reduce the cost is purchasing furniture that can transition with their little one as they grow.
For highchairs, the Graco Floor2Table 7-in-1 Highchair is an excellent choice. With seven stages and the ability to seat two kids, it will last for the first several years of your little one's life.
In this review, we'll take a look at its safety features, how well it functions as a highchair, booster, and seat, how easily it can be cleaned, and more.
Infant Floor Seat- This is designed to keep your little one close to the ground. It provides the support they need to sit upright and has a small tray.
Full-Size Highchair- Simply move the infant floor seat to the raised highchair when they are ready. It also has stain-resistant and machine-washable fabrics.
Infant Booster- Once your little one is ready to eat at the table, remove the infant booster and use it with your dining room chairs.
Toddler Booster- This is also for use with dining room chairs. It is perfect for when your little one starts to grow out of their infant seat.
Youth Stool- The youth stool allows the high chair to be used without the infant seat. This makes it the perfect height for preschool and kindergarten-age kids.
Table and Chair- This is designed for big kids. It is perfect for practicing writing, coloring, or doing homework.
Two-Child Seating- As your family grows, so does the highchair. A younger child can use the infant seat while the older child uses the toddler seat or youth stool.
Each of the seven stages has its own use. Not only does it grow with your child, but it can also grow with your family once your little one ages if you decide to give them a younger sibling. As it is designed durable, it will last for years to come!
Proper seating has a lot to do with choosing a seat that is the right size for your little one. In addition to having plenty of options for finding the right size, harnesses keep your little one secured to the chair. A 3-point harness works with the lower-backed infant seat. Once your infant transitions to the high chair, it can be used with the included 5-point harness until they are tall enough to sit without it.
Additionally, when the infant seat and toddler booster are set directly on the chair, it has additional security straps for the back and the underneath of the chair. These tighten easily. This means even if you have a little one that likes to wobble or gets excited at meal time, you don't have to worry about them knocking the highchair to the floor.
One of the messiest things that children do is eat. Even though it makes a mess, self-feeding is beneficial for many reasons. It encourages independence and improves fine motor skills. When your little one is done eating, though, you will need to clean.
The tray insert is dishwasher safe, which means an easy clean-up. The foam back of the chair wipes clean easily and the plastic wipes down as well. Even the straps are easy to clean, which is a definite plus because these can get gunked up over time.
In addition to keeping your little one safe, it will help them remain comfortable while eating. This means they can focus on the food instead of wiggling around. Unlike most traditional highchairs, this has a recline function that adjusts to three separate positions.
Also unlike some other models, the wipe clean material is made of a soft foam-like material that wipes clean like plastic, without sacrificing comfort.
Even though family dinner is an important way to connect with your family, everyone's schedules do not always line up. Older siblings have homework and after-school activities, parents have to work, and not every night can be family dinner night.
Fortunately, the Floor2Table easily travels around your home. In highchair mode, front wheels make adjusting and repositioning the chair easy.
It is also easy to transition between the different modes. There is no complicated process once your child is ready and you can easily transfer the infant booster seat from the floor to the table in seconds. Additionally, the inclusion of two trays (a snack-size and a full-size) is perfect regardless of where your little one is sitting.
This is also a great choice for parents on the go. Since the boosters are not attached to the chair, you can easily bring along seats for your toddler or infant when visiting relatives. The chair also folds up when not in use.
However, it is still quite bulky when folded. It might not be a great choice for small apartments or areas without any storage space for this reason. Unless you are using the chair for two kids at once, you will not need all the pieces.
Another downside is the removal of the tray. Even though it is designed to open with the push of a button (and only using a single hand), the tray can get stuck. This is problematic if the tray (or your toddler) is covered in food at the time.
All the safety features in the world cannot defend against choking and other risks that babies face as they begin exploring foods for the first time. Before you set your little one down for their first meal, here are a few things you should know.
Your baby should be able to sit up on their own before offering them solid foods. If your little one cannot sit up, they are at risk for choking. Generally, it is recommended parents start introducing foods no earlier than six months old. Begin with purees and baby cereal.
Never leave your child alone while they are eating. Whether they are an infant or a toddler, children have small airways and are susceptible to choking. This can happen in seconds. Additionally, children who are choking are sometimes silent, so you cannot rely on your ability to hear them on a baby monitor or from the next room over.
You should never force your child to eat. While it is important to encourage them to try new foods, forcing your little one to eat can be damaging in the future. It teaches them not to listen to their body, whether they dislike something or are full. There are many long-term problems associated with forcing your child to eat, including eating disorders, an inability to notice hunger and satiety cues, self-esteem problems, and obesity.
When you do introduce finger foods to your little one, be sure they are age appropriate. Finger foods are recommended at around 9 months of age, once your little one is making chewing movements with their mouth and seems ready. Some good choices are easy-to-dissolve biscuits and snacks, as well as soft foods like cooked carrots and cut bananas.
After your child is a year, you can also give them cottage cheese, small scrambled eggs, O-shaped cereal, cooked vegetables, bites of yogurt, and more. Be sure that all foods are small enough your little one will not choke if they swallow them. Most pediatricians have a list of foods and how to prepare them for little throats and fingers. For example, you should always cut grapes in quarters before giving them to your little one until they have developed teeth.
Vary the foods your little one gets in their diet. Eating a variety of dairy products, proteins, fruits, vegetables, and grains ensure your little one is getting a wide spectrum of nutrition. Keep in mind that before age 1, most children still receive a great deal of nutrition from being breastfed or formula fed. Do not stress if they are not interested in table foods yet—they are getting their nutrition in other ways.
As you can see from this Graco Floor2Table 7-in-1 highchair review, this seat is an excellent investment when you don't want to worry about upgrading your baby's highchair in the future. It provides the support they need as an infant, works well for toddlers who are ready for a little less support, and is incredibly easy to clean. As an added benefit, it seats two children once you are ready to grow your family. With a durable build, it is a great investment for the next several years of your little one's life.

Long time ago, I used a service for online greeting cards and I loved a particular feature; it was the feature to schedule the delivery to a future date. I am not sure if other providers had this feature or not, but they surely didn't make it easy to find; and this made me love this service above all the others. Since then I have wondered how great it would be to able to schedule mails to be delivered in the future.
Starting from Birthdays and Anniversaries that I couldn't risk forgetting to serious reminders to myself or others, scheduling an email in the future would be a 'desirable' service. Imagine that you are working on a project and would like to personally mail the team each week to request for their progress. Now this would require time, even if you had to send a simple "What's the progress" message each Monday. It would be cumbersome as it would demand you to take out time from the numerous other tasks that you have to do. Won't it be easier, if on one weekend, you fix 4 such mails to be sent in the future on the appropriate dates and set a reminder for yourself to fix more for later (if the project is not over by then). Such a service would save you the effort, while still getting you the response.
Another scenario where such a service seems useful to me is sending the 'last words' of a man to his kin. Very often, certain secrets die with people. Sometimes it is because of the fear or of the want of a better moment, that words just don't come out. In such a scenario, if a person could create a mail to be sent in the future once he/she is dead, to a few chosen recipients. Some wonder, at this point, how could the service know about his/her death ? Well, before the mail is sent (on the specified date by the sender), a confirmation mail could be send to the creator of the mail, giving him some time to react (cancel or reschedule). There are many such possibilities.
FutureMe : This service was the first that I had seen (and brought back my childhood ideas about future mails). In terms of a friend , this is like a 'time-capsule'.
FutureMail : This service fulfills the 'reminder' aspect of my discussion. It allows one to send himself reminders at any particular time in the future.
MyLastEmail : This service targets on the final email, mostly in case of death. Although, at the time of writing, the domain seems to have gone dead.
LetterMeLater : This service combines most of the features as it allows you to send messages to both yourself and others at any time in the future. One of the attractive features about this is that you don't need to access the site to create a new message; using this feature, you can send a mail from your own email client to 'me@lettermelater.com' with a few details on the top, and ZOOP, you have scheduled a mail in the future.
HitMeLater : As the website boasts, this is like creating a 'snooze' button for yourself; more like reminders.
While these kind of services do solve most of the things that I have in mind, some aspects can't be achieved with one service itself. This motivates me to work on one of my own service to cater my own needs (and that could be used by others as well).
What if your (or the recipients) email address changes ?
I believe that this is an acceptable risk. Although, I am convinced that the service provider should facilitate change of 'recipient-address' , 'sending date' or even 'cancellation' of a scheduled mail.
What do you think about such a service ? If I start one, what would be 'your' requirements ?

孟郊诗
Poems of Meng Jiao
独愁
Lonely Worries
(一作独怨,一作赠韩愈)
(Partly from resenting loneliness, partly to send to Han Yu)
前日远别离
昨日生白发
欲知万里情
晓卧半床月
常恐百虫鸣
使我芳草歇
Two days ago, we did the long goodbye.
Yesterday, I started feeling old.
Want to know what endless travel is like?
Get up tomorrow and don't go to bed for a month.
If it wasn't for the racket of these cicadas,
I'd lay down in these flowers and sleep.
-- 孟郊
废话
I'm not sure what's going on here. I think that Han Yu and Meng Jiao were friends. Han Yu wrote Meng Jiao's epitaph. But Han Yu was several things: 17 years younger than Meng Jiao, esteemed as a writer and scholar in his own time, politically conservative, the historical root of Neo-Confucianism, and an opponent of Buddhism and Daoism. Meng Jiao, as far as I can tell, was more or less Han Yu's opposite. But the epitaph pretty much confirms their friendship.
This poem probably comes towards the end of Meng Jiao's wandering, after he had drifted north. This is the period he would have personally interacted with the poets of the two capitals, Chang'an and Luoyang, although he may have already traded poems with men like Han Yu before this time. Han Yu's father was caught up, through family ties, in bad politics that got him exiled somewhere nasty, where he died in 781. Han Yu returns to the capital after that and passes the imperial exams in 792 after four tries, which means about four years of trying. Perhaps, the two men met through shared poverty, interests, and efforts, camping outside of town in the summers, sleeping in the same hovel in the winters, and failing the same exams every spring. That would put their friendship beyond silly things like religion and politics, wouldn't it?

Feel like you need a few extra ornaments this year? These printable patterned trees will make a perfect addition! No room left on the tree? No problem! They also make great place cards for the holiday table or are a fun give-away to any seasonal party!
Materials: Printable holiday tree ornament template, 8.5 x 11 card stock (I used Epson Ultra Premium Matte Presentation Paper ), scissors , craft knife , ruler (not pictured), glue stick , bone folder , screw hole punch, string (in any pretty color).
Step 1: Print out the Printable holiday tree ornament template on 8.5 x 11 card stock and cut out the trees.
Step 2: Using a ruler (or straight edge) and bone folder, score the center of the trees and fold them in half (see photo for reference).
Step 3: Glue the folded tree together. If there is a bit of extra white on each side feel free to trim.
Step 4: When the tree sides have dried, use the ruler and craft knife to cut the on the indicated lines in the center of the trees. One cut will be from the top and the other from the bottom.
Step 5: On the tree that has the top cut, make punch 2 holes on either side of the incision using a screw hole punch.
Step 6: Fit the tree sides together by inserting the tree with the bottom incision over the tree with the top incision as pictured in the photo.
Step 7: Feed string through the holes so that it loops around one side of the tree. Tie a knot at the end and hang wherever you please!
That's cute, and seems easy to make I always love your printables, Alix!
This is so adorable! I have a thing for paper crafts as Christmas tree ornaments and these would be perfect!

Q: How to execute user management commands in Mongoose (db.createUser, db.dropUser)? I need to manage mongoDB users using Mongoose. More specifically, I need to provision database users using a nodeJS script and thus need to create mongoDB users.
In MongoDB shell, I was using the following :
> db.createUser(
...     {
...         user: "productUser",
...         pwd: "password123",
...         roles: [
...             {"db":"admin", "role":"dbAdminAnyDatabase" },
...             {"db":"admin", "role":"readWriteAnyDatabase"},
...             {"db":"admin", "role":"clusterAdmin"}
...         ]
...     }
... )

What is the equivalent in Mongoose ?

A: In MongoDB shell db.getCreateUser and db.DropUser use, under the hood, mongoDB commands that are run via db.runCommand({createUser: "user1", ....}) and db.runCommand({dropUser: "user1"}).
From this question we can use mongoDB commands to execute all types of user management commands (creating, deleting, updating, granting roles ...)
The following code add a user, show the user created and the drop this user afterwards:
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/admin', {useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true});

var db = mongoose.connection;

db.once('open', async function callback () {
    //show users
    var users = await db.db.command({usersInfo: 1});
    console.log("users", users);

    //create user
    var userCreate = await db.db.command({
        createUser: "productUser",
        pwd: "1234567",
        roles: [
            {"db":"admin", "role":"dbAdminAnyDatabase" },
            {"db":"admin", "role":"readWriteAnyDatabase"},
            {"db":"admin", "role":"clusterAdmin"}
        ]
    });
    console.log(userCreate.ok === 1 ? "user created" : "user creation failed");

    users = await db.db.command({usersInfo: 1});
    console.log("users",users);

    //drop user
    var userDrop = await db.db.command({
        dropUser: "productUser"
    });
    console.log(userDrop.ok === 1 ? "user removed" : "user drop failed");

    users = await db.db.command({usersInfo: 1});
    console.log("users",users);
});

The Moon Is Blue
In the first of his independent features as producer-director (1953) Otto Preminger adapts his most successful stage production, a light romantic comedy by F. Hugh Herbert that ran for over 900 performances. Released without production code approval and condemned by the Legion of Decency for its use of such taboo phrases as virgin, seduce, and pregnant, none of which bothered anyone in the stage run, it's regarded today mainly as a curio. Yet for all the movie's staginess and datedness, it's a more personal and ambiguous work than it initially appears to be. Architect William Holden ogles and picks up professional virgin Maggie McNamara at the Empire State Building and brings her back to his apartment, where his next-door neighborshis former girlfriend (Dawn Addams) and her playboy father (David Niven)quickly involve this potential couple in various intrigues. A certain prurient (as well as analytical) curiosity in Preminger's distanced and mobile camera style makes McNamara seem slightly corrupt and Holden and Niven slightly innocent, despite all appearances to the contrary, and the sour aftertaste to this frothy material is an important part of what keeps the picture interesting. Incidentally, Preminger simultaneously shot a German-language version of the same film, the stars of which have cameos in the last scene of the American version.… Read more »
Putney Swope
Robert Downey Sr.'s low-budget, hit-or-miss dadaist (or gagaist) 1969 satire, about a group of blacks taking over a Madison Avenue ad agency, is a bit of a relic now, though a decidedly offbeat one. Only a fraction of the jokes ever worked, but the determined goofiness of some of the conceits (e.g., German midgets Pepi and Ruth Hermine as the U.S. president and first lady) and the interspersed parodic TV commercials (all of them in color, though the rest of the movie is in black and white) give one a better idea of the jaunty excesses of the late 60s than Hollywood movies of the same period. If you're in a silly enough mood, you might have a good time. With Arnold Johnson, Stanley Gottlieb, Allen Garfield, Antonio Fargas, and a fleeting bit by Mel Brooks. 84 min. (JR)… Read more »
An elegant if rather remote ironic comedy (1993) by Otar Iosseliani (Favorites of the Moon), a Georgian filmmaker based mostly in France in recent years. Like Tati, Iosseliani films his characters and their whimsical behavior almost exclusively in medium and long shots, and like Bunuel, he seems more than a little amused by decadent aristocrats. But unlike these masters, he doesn't really qualify as a social observer; the worlds of his recent films suggest parables or allegories dreamed up by an expatriate more than concrete engagements with French life. I didn't much like this picture, though I feel I should have; I just couldn't get into the detached humor. (JR)… Read more »

A broad satirical farce by Juzo Itami (The Funeral, Tampopo, A Taxing Woman) about the efforts of a luxury hotel in Tokyo to rid itself of yakuza who are using the place as a hangout (1992). These efforts prove ineffectual, thanks to the gangsters' not-so-gentle art of intimidation, until the hotel hires a lawyer (Nobuku Miyamoto, Itami's wife and frequent leading lady) who's well versed in the problems involved and who plans various counterattacks. Eventually this picture turns solemn and serious in order to hammer home points that are made more effectively through comedy, and there's a corny Western-elevator-music score (broken only occasionally by sinister patches of percussion) that may set your teeth on edge. But one sign of the relevance of this movie is that Itami was brutally attacked by three gangsters less than a week after it opened in Japan, leaving him with permanent scars he wears as badges of honor.

Sex And Zen
There isn't a whole lot of Zen here, barring the opening and closing scenes with a priest, but there's plenty of lively sex, both conventional and otherwise, in this high-spirited porn romp from Hong Kong, adapted by Lee Ying Kit from Li Yu's Ming dynasty erotic novel Prayer Mat of the Flesh and directed by Michael Mak. At times the overall ambience suggests a Chinese version of The Arabian Nights and the Decameron; one central character is a flying thief, and one riotous slapstick sequence details the complications that ensue when the hero, a lecherous scholar whose penis is shorter than he would like, arranges to have a transplant from a horse.

This 1962 thriller is better than the Scorsese remakeabove all for Robert Mitchum's chilling performance as a vengeful ex-con and an overall brute force in the crude story linethough it's arguably still some distance from deserving its reputation as a classic. Stolid Gregory Peck plays the family man, and Polly Bergen is his menaced wife; Bernard Herrmann wrote the score. Based on John D. MacDonald's novel The Executioners; with Martin Balsam, Telly Savalas, and Barrie Chase. J. Lee Thompson directed. 105 min. (JR)… Read more »
Richard Linklater goes Hollywood (1995)triumphantly and with an overall intelligence, sweetness, and romantic simplicity that reminds me of wartime weepies like The Clock. After meeting on a train out of Budapest, a young American (Ethan Hawke) and a French student (Julie Delpy) casually explore Vienna for 14 hours; what emerges from their impromptu date has neither the flakiness of Linklater's Slacker nor the generational smarts of his Dazed and Confused (though it's closer in its picaresque form and lyricism to the former), but it does manage to say a few things about the fragility and uncertainty of contemporary relationships. Linklater's tact in handling such potentially mawkish material is as evident in what he leaves out as in what he includes, and if Hawke sometimes seems a mite doltish and preening, Delpy is a consistent delight. Kim Krizan collaborated with Linklater on the script, which abounds in lively dialogue and imaginative digressions. R, 101 min. (JR)… Read more »
Picnic On The Grass
A delicious dalliance from Jean Renoir (1959), this satirical comedy about a stuffy scientist (Paul Meurisse) campaigning for the presidency of a united Europe on a platform promoting artificial insemination for everyone accidentally meets Catherine Rouvel in the country, and his idealism gets unwound. Adapting the TV shooting techniques of his previous film, The Testament of Dr. Cordelier, and using ravishing color, Renoir manages to inject an uncommon amount of feeling into all the frivolity and whimsy; the results are both absurdist and sublime.

Adapted by David Mercer from his TV play In Two Minds, Ken Loach's grim and harrowing 1971 British drama, also known as Wednesday's Child, was closely associated with the then-fashionable theories of R.D. Laing. It describes the history of a troubled 19-year-old girl gradually driven into schizophrenia by the naive understanding of her family. She winds up in a mental hospital where she makes some progress thanks to a Laingian group therapist, but after he's dismissed she's treated with drugs and electroshock, with devastating results. With Sandy Ratcliff and Bill Dean. (JR)… Read more »
Ladybird, Ladybird
Based on a true story, Ken Loach's powerful and disturbing British drama (1994) about a single working-class mother with four children from four different fathers is made unforgettable by stand-up comedian Crissy Rock's lead performance and by the filmmakers' determination to make the story as messy and as complex as life itself. After many abusive relationships, Maggie, the heroine, settles down with a gentle Paraguayan refugee (beautifully played by Vladimir Vega), but then has to contend repeatedly with the state taking away her children. This sounds like a simple antiwelfare polemic, but Loach doesn't allow us to walk away from the movie with any settled or monolithic message. As written by Rona Munro and played by Rock, Maggie is a volcanic conundrum, and the deeper we become involved in her fate, the less sure we become about anything. Highly recommended.

Mysterious Island
An unlikely collaboration between the neglected, blacklisted expatriate director Cy Endfield and special-effects wizard Ray Harryhausen, this 1961 British adaptation of Jules Verne's two-part sequel to 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea follows some Confederate prisoners who hijack an observation balloon and wind up joining some shipwrecked passengers on an uncharted island, where they're menaced by prehistoric beasts and helped by Captain Nemo. Bernard Herrmann composed the score, and the cast is a lively one: Joan Greenwood, Michael Craig, Herbert Lom, Michael Callan, and Gary Merrill. John Prebble, Dan Ullman, Crane Wilbur, and an uncredited Endfield all worked on the script. This fantasy adventure is hardly one of Endfield's most personal efforts, but it's still a pretty enjoyable romp. (JR)… Read more »
Demon Knight
This has been packaged as another Tale From the Crypt, but apart from its being a horror picture, it bears virtually no relation to the visual or narrative style of the 50s EC comic book; it's better described as a high-tech thriller in the vein of Night of the Living Dead, with semicoherent underpinnings relating to the blood of Christ and the Crusades, and some manic flourishes that call to mind the Gremlins movies. It's competently directed by former cinematographer Ernest Dickerson (best known for his work on Spike Lee's films). The plot concerns a renegade seeking refuge in a run-down boarding house; he possesses an ancient key with occult powers that a character known as the Collector is trying to retrieve from him. The silly story is basically just an excuse for some thrills and goofy one-liners, but even if the more likable characters tended to get killed off too early for my taste, I wasn't bored. Written by Ethan Reiff, Cyrus Voris, and Mark Bishop; with Billy Zane, William Sadler, Jada Pinkett, Brenda Bakke, CCH Pounder, Dick Miller, Thomas Haden Church, John Schuck, Gary Farmer, and Charles Fleischer. (JR)… Read more »
The Terence Davies Trilogy
The first three films of Terence DaviesChildren (1974), Madonna and Child (1980), and Death and Transfiguration (1983)make up an 85-minute semiautobiographical trilogy about a Catholic working-class Liverpudlian named Robert Tucker, who's seen as a victimized schoolboy, a closeted middle-aged homosexual, and an 80-year-old dying in a hospital. The emotional power of Davies's subsequent great symphonic works (Distant Voices, Still Lives and The Long Day Closes) is already present, as are the dry wit and visual mastery, though in terms of range and technical means these short films remain sketchy chamber pieces by comparison.

More or less contemporary with Mad when it was still a comic book, this late (1952) entry in the Bob Hope/Bing Crosby/Dorothy Lamour road series, the only one in color, displays a similar penchant for what critic J. Hoberman has termed vulgar modernismloads of self-referential gags and parodic allusions to movies of the periodwithout the street-smart social satire. I loved this at the age of nine and suspect that some of it's still pretty funny when it isn't being self-congratulatory; the Technicolor and guest-star appearances undoubtedly help. Hal Walker directed. 90 min. (JR)… Read more »

Battling COVID
The whole package at Reichman University; how a lone soldier forges her path
Liron Tzour graduated from the School of Communications and is currently completing her Global MBA in Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Reichman University.
By Tamara Mizroch 20 December 2022, 11:08 pm
Liron Tzour with Jonathan Davis, Prof. Uriel Reichman, former President and Chairman of the Board of Directors and Oudi Recanati, Chancellor Reichman University at the annual Recanati Gala
There are over 8000 students at Reichman University, including a significant number of international students who study at the Raphael Recanati International School. These students come from over 90 different countries, many are former lone soldiers that served in the IDF, and have remained in Israel to study.
Liron Tzour, a former lone soldier, is completing her Global MBA (GMBA) at Reichman University after completing an undergraduate degree in visual communications. In addition, she works full-time for the Raphael Recanati International School as Director of Marketing.
As a lone solider at the Shivta base in the South of Israel
"I was born in Hod Hasharon and at the age of twelve, I moved with my family to Tenafly, New Jersey, as a result of my mother's new position as an emissary of the Jewish National Fund (JNF), USA. Ever since I was a child, I would go on special Jewish events with her. I was exposed to the Jewish world in the US at a very young age, and this helped deepen my love for Israel which is why I decided to return to Israel and drafted in the IDF where I was a lone soldier. I served in the artillery corps as a weapons instructor, and later on as a commander in the instructors course. I was awarded as the outstanding commander of the artillery corps in 2013 of which I am very proud ".
The possibility of studying for an undergraduate or graduate degree entirely in English while living in Israel is a big draw for many international students who come to Reichman University. Furthermore, the university's efforts to help international students acclimate to life in a foreign country have earned it a strong reputation. One of the keys to this success is the careful matching of counsellors to students. According to Tzour, "One of the most significant things I did as a student was being a counsellor for two years. When I was twelve in the US I was the "new kid" in town, it was daunting and intimidating. I did not get any help from other students. Ten years later, at Reichman University, I had the chance to be a counsellor to new first-year students. I was their friend and older sibling in a sense. It was extremely gratifying knowing I could help someone new in the country".
Liron Tzour with Consul General Asaf Zamir
After completing her undergraduate degree, Tzour, started to work as an event producer but when the Covid pandemic hit, Tzour needed to pivot and for her the next logical step was to continue her path at Reichman University. "Approximately a year on the job, after marketing BA and MA degrees at the Raphael Recanati International School, I decided I should be studying for one of the graduate degrees. It was important to me to learn more and expand my knowledge. The Global MBA program provides a solid foundation in general management and is taught from a global perspective. It is designed for future business leaders. I consider myself an international woman, and felt that this degree was a good
opportunity to grow and expand my horizons". The Global MBA leverages Israel's status as a center of progress in high-tech, innovation, and entrepreneurship, providing its students with top-notch lecturers and interactions in the high-tech sector. "As part of the Global MBA program at Reichman University, I had the opportunity to take part in a study tour for a unique learning experience in New York. We met entrepreneurs, executives and investors from various companies and different fields such as pharmaceutical, startups, banks and more.
Global MBA students in the New York study tour with Consul General Asaf Zamir
We participated in academic tours and were exposed to extensive knowledge, advanced technology and a lot of inspiration on how ideas and dreams can become a reality". According to Jonathan Davis, VP of External Relations and Head of the Raphael Recanati International School, "it is stories like these that make me proud of what we have achieved. Liron could have easily stayed on to study in the USA, yet she returned and has made a successful life for herself in Israel. I like to think that we helped along the way. For anyone who wishes to pursue an undergraduate or graduate here at the university, we are here to support you along the way".

Scarificare (POR) "Tilasm" Digipak CD 2018
Cat Nº #: HDP055CDD
Format: Digipak CD
Limitation: 300 Copies
For orders, wholesale contact helldprod@gmail.com.
Label: Helldprod Records
On April 20th internationally, HELLDPROD RECORDS is proud to present SCARIFICARE's highly anticipated third album, Tilasm. A work of both crushing heaviness and mystical atmosphere, Tilasm is the album where SCARIFICARE truly come into their own. Theirs is a sound that skillfully ranges black metal, death metal, and doom alike, never settling for easy categorization nor schizophrenically losing focus. Across seven songs in 45 minutes, the listener is taken on a cosmic ride like no other, each movement as memorable as the last. They say the third time's a charm, and indeed it is for SCARIFICARE with Tilasm.
SCARIFICARE are a Portuguese extreme metal band formed by Crusher (bass/vocals), Sothis (drums), and Quetzalcoatl (guitars) in Oporto in late 2006. The main purpose was - and still is - to make extreme metal music inspired by all cosmic forces, the wisdom of ancient pagan religions, and consequently in ourselves.
In 2007, Inverno joined the band on bass guitar, leaving Crusher totally dedicated to the voice. The band recorded the demo tape Sulphurous Wrath, to be released by Portuguese label Skull Productions. In the beginning of 2008, Sothis leaves the band, giving place to a new drummer named Njord.
In 2009, the band started recording their first album, Perpectual Decline. The album was self-financed and was released on October 9th, 2010. After some live concerts in Portugal and Spain for the debut album's promotion, the band participated in the Portuguese black metal compilation Lusitania Dark Horde II with one original track called "Burning Abyss." In the subsequent months, the band started composing the second album, and during the course of that, Crusher leaves. Since then, Quetzalcoatl has assumed vocals in the band.
That second album, Postulado, was recorded between late 2012 and April 2013, and officially released on October 12th, 2013 by the Portuguese label HELLDPROD. The bass lines recorded by Inverno closed his participation in the band. Promotional live concerts during the following months were given by some guests on bass guitar. In late 2014, Njord also leaves the band.
During 2015 and 2016, Quetzalcoatl was already composing new music and searching for new band members to keep SCARIFICARE going. In late 2016, Eligos joins the band on bass guitar. At the beginning of 2017, Luis Leal joins the band on drums. During the summer of that same year, the band starts recording their third album, Tilasm, at Hannuman Studios with producer Bruno Silva. The recording process ended in December 2017, and the official release date has been set for April 20th, again through HELLDPROD RECORDS.

Dr. Ala Stanford
Brian L. Roberts
T o say Dr. Ala Stanford took matters into her own hands during the COVID-19 pandemic would be an understatement. As she saw the disparate impact the pandemic was having on Black, Brown, and poor communities, she fully committed herself to reducing health care disparities by providing testing, treatment, and vaccinations to these underserved populations. As Dr. Stanford puts it, "The pandemic created the opportunity to bring clear focus and direction to start chipping away at the barriers to healthcare one neighbor, one test, one vaccination at time." Her efforts led to the creation of the Black Doctors COVID-19 Consortium, which has tested and vaccinated over 75,000 residents in Philadelphia's minority neighborhoods.
During her childhood in Northeast Philadelphia and Germantown, Dr. Stanford dreamt of becoming a doctor. Her chosen field of pediatric surgery came not only from her love of children and inspiration from her father (who worked at Pennsylvania's Department of Children and Youth), but also because, as she puts it, "People didn't expect girls like me to become surgeons." After she received her undergraduate and medical degrees from Pennsylvania State University, Dr. Stanford achieved her childhood dream and defied societal prejudices in one fell swoop.
In medical school, she described how inner-city students like herself were encouraged to work in lower-paying primary-care jobs in community health centers rather than working in higher-paying leading hospitals and medical centers. As her medical career advanced, she found that she was held to higher standards and faced lower expectations simply because she was an African American woman. While the systemic racism she encountered weighed on her, she never let it deter her. Dr. Stanford persevered and founded R.E.A.L. Concierge Medicine, a private practice where she provides healthcare to athletes, celebrities, and corporate executives.
When the COVID-19 pandemic began spreading through Philadelphia, Dr. Stanford saw coronavirus statistics disproportionately affecting Black populations and knew these numbers would only be compounded by longstanding healthcare inequities. But as Dr. Stanford said, "Just talking about the problem doesn't solve it – there needs to be action." And act she did. In less than 48 hours, Dr. Stanford stopped work at her thriving private practice, rented a van, purchased testing supplies, and drove to her church's parking lot to offer free COVID-19 testing to all. She did all of this at a time when government officials and agencies were struggling to mobilize testing efforts, especially in minority communities. Shortly after that first testing clinic, the Black Doctors COVID-19 Consortium (BDCC) was born. The BDCC expanded its services when vaccines became available and has provided free testing and vaccinations to more than 75,000 residents in Philadelphia's minority neighborhoods. Through this heroic work, Dr. Stanford became a national symbol for equalizing access to health care for people of color in disadvantaged communities.
Dr. Stanford has received numerous awards and recognitions for her medical work, including the Philadelphia Business Journal's "Top 40 Under 40 Award," The Philadelphia Tribune's "Top 10 Under 40," The City of Philadelphia's "Next Generation of Women Leadership Award," Philadelphia Maneto Award, W.H.Y.Y.'s Philadelphia Magis Award, along with a Senior Fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics.
"The idea of services as a test of good citizenship should be kept constantly before the minds of the people of Philadelphia." EDWARD W. BOK

Why is it that people who aren't all that great at cooking (read: ME) love to read cookbooks and food blogs, books on cooking and travel, watch cooking themed movies (Julie & Julia) and tv (Top Chef). Must be because I like to eat! Some of the mouthwatering books I've been reading include We've Always Had Paris & Provence (check out authoress Patricia Wells' website) as well as On Rue Tatin by Susan Herrmann Loomis. It doesn't even seem to matter that I am vegetarian - I am intrigued by the recipes, the food and the stories that accompany them.
I have been busy at work in my studio cooking up some lovelies for JBS Mercantile - the September kit debuts tomorrow and is it a gorgeous kit! It features new papers designed by the talented Amanda Johnson - plus some awesome JBS exclusives as well as the sought after halloween bingo cards in a project kit - you won't want to miss this one, trust me!
I'll update with my contributions to the gallery tomorrow. In the meantime - enjoy these cooking and kitchen themed images.

But, if you're male and would like to attend, you'll need to find a woman who wants to learn Clojure who will register and bring you along as a guest.
In this workshop, we'll take you through the ClojureBridge curriculum and teach you about Clojure. A capstone project will get you started making music with Clojure, using the Overtone audio library. Our experienced TA's will guide attendees through creating sounds using clojure! We'll meet up Friday night to install all of the software you need, and then spend Saturday learning and writing code.
Total programming novices, system administrators, developers in other languages, and folks who attended our previous workshops are all welcome. We'll aim to challenge our pro attendees while keeping our newer coders engaged and learning.
Each participant needs to bring her own computer.
Our venue is located in the heart of Center City Philadelphia. If you are driving, we recommend you find a garage to park in for Saturday, as that will be the least hassle. Street parking is available, but is often limited to 2-3 hours at a time. PromtWorks is walking distance from both Jefferson Station, and the 13th St station of the Market Frankford Line.
Dinner will be provided for the Friday installfest. In addition, a breakfast spread will be provided Saturday morning, with a box lunch provided at noon. Vegetarian and gluten free options will be available. If you have any special food requirements, please let us know!
After our awesome day learning and programing in such a great language, we're going to head out for a bite to eat. There's a lot of great spots near our venue to hang out and talk about clojure, and diversity in tech (or anything else we think of). Unfortunately, this outing isn't sponsored, so keep that in mind while ordering. We hope you can join us! Please contact the organizer with any questions, or if you have special accommodation needs.
We are grateful for the involvement of Alexandra Smith, who will host this workshop, and will answer any questions you might have before or during the workshop.

College widens support for SMEs
A leading local college is widening its support for the SME sector in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly after receiving the backing of a Government funded Peer Network programme.
Truro and Penwith College has been selected as a key partner in a new £9 million 'Peer Networks' programme that is being rolled out nationally by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
The programme has been commissioned locally by the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and Growth Hub and will facilitate collaboration between nearly 70 Cornish businesses to improve productivity, support the ongoing EU transition and respond to challenges presented by Covid-19.
The college is setting up networks in Hospitality, Engineering and Human Resources and, in partnership with Cornwall Chamber of Commerce, 'Construction', '30 under 30' and 'CEO'.
The 'CEO' Network will connect organisations Cornwall Chamber identifies as having a significant impact on the Cornish economy, while '30 under 30' will bring together the brightest, up-and-coming business people under the age of 30.
The businesses will collaborate to find solutions to shared challenges and position themselves for success by identifying new opportunities and developing strategies to adapt to the 'new normal'.
The leaders involved will also benefit from professional development through one-to-one coaching sessions.
Adele Bull, programme team leader at Truro and Penwith College Business, commented: "The college is thrilled to enhance its support for employers and the wider local economy with the introduction of the new Peer Network programme.
"The ongoing impacts of Covid-19 combined with the transition of Brexit, means this is a fantastic opportunity to further enhance the support we introduced for our partners in the summer, helping businesses to collaborate, adapt their business models, create new ways of working and access new markets."
The Peer Networks have been influenced by the PLATO Networking programme in Belgium, which studies show has delivered tangible economic benefits such as growth in value-added, assets and labour productivity.
Kim Conchie, CEO of Cornwall Chamber of Commerce, said: "Cornwall Chamber of Commerce has been looking at the problem of productivity in the UK for some time; and I hope these new clusters of people that we've invited to come together as peers can think differently, guided by Action Learning techniques, to help unlock the issue. It is a particularly thorny point in Cornwall where many of our key industries suffer from patchy productivity."
