Hi,
Perspective is Everything is a talk by Rory Sutherland see link below, his theme is that psychological value is one of the most important areas of value. The Sleight of Mind Set Workshops pick up on these ideas, they are one day workshops all about learning, understanding and applying Mind Magic (Mentalism) and Psychological Artistry to what you do. The SMS day is about adding psychological value to you. For more information on this, please see mindsways.com/SMS/
Perspective is Everything - Adding Psychological Value
In Perspective Is Everything, ad-man Rory Sutherland gives us an interesting and entertaining take on the themes of Psychological Artistry. (Please be aware, there is strong language in this video from the beginning) Please go to www.mindsways.com/SMS/#Perspective and let me know what you think. In summary, he says;
Things are not what they are; they are what we think they are
Things are also what we compare them to
Psychological value is the best kind of value
Value is composed of three parts Technological, Economic and Psychological
This whole idea of adding psychological value to what you do is the chief aim of Psychological Artistry ; combining psychological solutions and approaches with ideas to your delivery. The focus of the Sleight of Mind Set workshop is to add psychological value to your delivery.
Maya Angelou: I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
Being an effective communicator has very little to do with what you have to say, and everything to do with what people say about you. Psychological Artistry, the Sleight of Mind Set workshop and the SNT kit provokes you into becoming the talking point of a conversation. It's impossible to escape the force of impact that floating a note with your bear hands gives you when united with your compelling message.
By using the right techniques, anyone can:
Capture and maintain attention
Become more engaging
Demonstrate psychological value
Create meaningful interactions
Are you looking to learn something different that you can use in your delivery? Are you also looking for that rare thing that's new, engaging and makes you stand out? On the Sleight of Mind Set Workshop, we will give you the tools, ideas and materials that capture the scarcest resource we have in today's world: attention.
Psychological Artistry - Perception and Insight
A fascinating example of perspective and insight is shown in a well-known Fred Astaire clip, click here to see it. Perspectives determine how we:
View and interpret our experiences
Make decisions
Filter our insights
Govern our assumptions
Act and behave
It is this unseen primary influence that magicians know and understand and use very well.
Interesting examples of how all is not as it appears are the McGurk effect and Prof Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect". Please take a look here or go to mindsways.com/SMS. I would love to know what you think. These illustrate both the power and the approach of Psychological Artistry.
Out Style Of Delivery: Edutrainment
Over the past 2 years, I have noticed a significant and fascinating new movement in the worlds of mentoring, training, teaching, consulting, coaching, management, therapy and many other areas. In all of these fields, the ability to work on a face-to-face basis and include Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry dramatically increases interest in you and your message, as well as your skill set, reputation and sales figures. To see some of the many success stories, please see here. It is this philosophy and principle that the Sleight of Mind Set workshop is based on, and it's this that makes you:
Stand Out
Grab and Hold Attention
Be More Interesting
Help Others
Engage More
As well as learning the effects, you can also learn valuable lessons from mind magic about how we think, act and behave. Mind Magic, as well as being entertaining and fascinating, can also be used to illustrate and understand human nature and our psychology. Using Psychological Artistry in your delivery adds both the spice of excitement and taps into this enduring popularity of magic and psychology. To see what others have said, please go to mindsways.com/about/what-people-say

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_(season)
Definition
Meteorologists generally define four seasons in many climatic areas, winter, spring, summer and autumn (or fall). These are demarcated by the values of their average temperatures on a monthly basis, with each season lasting three months. The three warmest months are by definition summer, the three coldest months are winter, and the intervening gaps are spring and autumn. Spring, when defined in this manner, can start on different dates in different regions. In most of Northern Hemisphere locations, spring occurs during the months of March, April and May[1]. (Summer is June, July, August; Autumn is September, October, November; Winter is December, January, February.) The vast majority of Southern Hemisphere locations will have opposing seasons with spring in September, October and November.[2]
Astronomically, the vernal equinox (usually 20 March in the Northern Hemisphere, and 22 September in the Southern Hemisphere), should be the middle of spring (based on the angle of the sun and insolation) and the summer solstice (usually 21 June in the Northern Hemisphere and 21 December in the Southern Hemisphere) should be mid-summer (because the sun is at its highest) but daytime temperatures lag behind insolation by several weeks because the earth and sea have thermal latency and take time to warm up.
Some cultures, such as those who devised the Celtic and East Asian calendars, call the spring equinox mid-spring, but others (especially in the USA and sometimes in England) regard it as the "first day of spring". For most temperate regions, signs of spring appear long before the middle of March, but the folklore of 21 March being the "first day of spring" persists, and 21 June as the "first day of summer" is common in the USA. In South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, spring begins on 1 September, and has no relation to the vernal equinox.[3]
In East Asian Solar term, spring begins on 4 February and ends on 5 May. Similarly, according to the Celtic tradition, which is based solely on daylight and the strength of the noon sun, spring begins in early February (near Imbolc or Candlemas) and continues until early May (Beltane).
The phenological definition of spring relates to indicators, the blossoming of a range of plant species, and the activities of animals, or the special smell of soil that has reached the temperature for micro flora to flourish. It therefore varies according to the climate and according to the specific weather of a particular year.
Events
In spring, the axis of the Earth is increasing its tilt toward the Sun and the length of daylight rapidly increases for the relevant hemisphere. The hemisphere begins to warm significantly causing new plant growth to "spring forth," giving the season its name. Snow, if a normal part of winter, begins to melt, and streams swell with runoff. Frosts, if a normal part of winter, become less severe. Temperate climates have no snow and rare frosts, the air and ground temperature increases more rapidly. Many flowering plants bloom this time of year, in a long succession sometimes beginning even if snow is still on the ground, continuing into early summer. In normally snowless areas "spring" may begin as early as February (Northern Hemisphere) heralded by the blooming of deciduous magnolias, cherries, and quince, or August (Southern Hemisphere) in the same way. Subtropical and tropical areas have climates better described in terms of other seasons, e.g. dry or wet, or monsoonal, or cyclonic. Often the cultures have locally defined names for seasons which have little equivalence to the terms originating in Europe. Many temperate areas have a dry spring, and wet autumn (fall), which brings about flowering in this season more consistent with the need for water as well as warmth. Subarctic areas may not experience "spring" at all until May or even June, or December in the outer Antarctic.
While spring is a result of the warmth caused by the turning of the Earth's axis, the weather in many parts of the world is overlain by events which appear very erratic taken on a year-to-year basis. The rainfall in spring (or any season) follows trends more related to longer cycles or events created by ocean currents and ocean temperatures. Good and well-researched examples are the El Niño effect and the Southern Oscillation Index.
Unstable weather may more often occur during spring, when warm air begins on occasions to invade from lower latitudes, while cold air is still pushing on occasions from the Polar regions. Flooding is also most common in and near mountainous areas during this time of year because of snowmelt, accelerated by warm rains. In the United States, Tornado Alley is most active this time of year, especially since the Rocky Mountains prevent the surging hot and cold air masses from spreading eastward and instead force them into direct conflict. Besides tornadoes, supercell thunderstorms can also produce dangerously large hail and very high winds, for which a severe thunderstorm warning or tornado warning is usually issued. Even more so than in winter, the jet streams play an important role in unstable and severe weather in the springtime in the Northern Hemisphere.
In recent decades season creep has been observed, which means that many phenological signs of spring are occurring earlier in many regions by a couple of days per decade.
Spring is seen as a time of growth, renewal, of new life (both plant and animal) being born. The term is also used more generally as a metaphor for the start of better times, as in the Prague Spring. Spring in the Southern Hemisphere is different in several significant ways to that of the Northern Hemisphere. This is because: there is no land bridge between Southern Hemisphere countries and the Antarctic zone capable of bringing in cold air without the temperature-mitigating effects of extensive tracts of water; the vastly greater amount of ocean in the Southern Hemisphere at all latitudes; at this time in Earth's geologic history the Earth has an orbit which brings it in closer to the Southern Hemisphere for its warmer seasons; there is a circumpolar flow of air (the roaring 40s and 50s) uninterrupted by large land masses; no equivalent jet streams; and the peculiarities of the reversing ocean currents in the Pacific.
154 East 7th Avenue, Vancouver, BC.
Heritage Value: The Williams Block is located near the historic heart of Mount Pleasant's commercial district at Main and Kingsway and was one of the first apartment buildings constructed. Constructed in 1910 by Fred Williams, this building was described in the building permit register as a "brick veneer apartment house" and cost $6500. It was designed in the Edwardian Builder style and constitutes a typical wood-frame combined commercial store and apartment building from the period. Its design incorporates front and side bay windows and covered rear porches with intact period decorative brackets. The bay windows are detailed with brackets, trim and sheet metal bases. It was owned and occupied by the Williams family until 1949 and from 1936-1943 the store front housed a branch office of Canadian Commonwealth Federation (C.C.F.). Heritage staff and the Vancouver Heritage Commission both recommend the building be added to the Heritage Register in the B category based on the standard evaluation criteria.
I made this for our niece and her new husband; I machine-embroidered their names and wedding date on the label.

I hadn't posted any kind of dyp lately so I thought I'd toss something together tonight. Couldn't really get in the mood to do anything at home. I had to shoot here because Alya's out of town on an interview and I didn't want to deal with the dog...lol
Anyway. Its the last night (2 more hours) to register for the print giveaway if you were interested.

As sold in Tesco UK for Valentine's Day 2023. I just had to buy one! I should have bought a few and posted them really, but then I thought, just scan and e-mail it – that fits the spirit of austerity better, and also it's still there for next year 😸
The 50p sticker could be removed, but I felt it was making a statement, so I left it attached.

The NHS Values Summit brings together a diverse range of people and perspectives to create a greater understanding of how people’s differences, social status and cultural expectations can affect their experiences of health and care.
It challenges and inspires people to think about the role of ethical leadership in improving the health and wellbeing of local communities, staff and patients and how the NHS can increase the social value of its activities.
Welcoming representatives from health and social care, alongside more than 20 partners from the voluntary and community sector, this event (in Leeds, Yorkshire) was a template for future NHS Values Summits, which will be held twice a year in different locations across the country. Each event will explore a different theme relating to equality, health inequalities and human rights. The next gathering will take place in May 2013.

People will find money for what they value highly. If someone says they "Can't" pay you, the truth is they "Won't" pay you - its a choice. Am I being too harsh? No. In my experience to date, every single person who hasn't been able to pay for my services has still managed to find the money for a course, or a holiday, or some other non-essential expenditure. Whose 'fault' is this? Mine (and yours too, if you face the same issue). It's about making sure our value proposition is valued equally by our target audience.
