Quantum Development Kit updates: support for macOS, Linux, plus Python and Q# interoperability - Duration: 5:55.
- Coming up I'll show you the updates
to the Quantum Development Kit preview,
including new support for macOS and the Linux platform.
Allowing you to write quantum applications as you begin
to explore the concepts of quantum computing
on those platforms.
Back in December we released the Quantum Development Kit
preview for Windows as part of our overall
quantum computing strategy, which includes a development of
a topological qubit and a quantum computer.
We'd like to start by saying thank you
to the tens of thousands of you who've downloaded the kit
and started writing Q# code.
Your feedback has been very valuable and we're excited
to announce an update that delivers the new features
that you asked for most.
Not only are we bringing the Quantum Development Kit preview
to more platforms, but we're also excited to welcome
Python programmers to the world of Q#.
And remember, if you're new to quantum computing
check out the series on Microsoft Mechanics
to learn the core concepts before you get started.
The Quantum Development Kit preview for macOS and Linux
is integrated with Visual Studio code for those platforms.
The first thing you want to do on your Mac is make sure
that you've got the Visual Studio code
and .Net Core SDK 2.0 or later installed.
You'll need the Quantum Development Kit extension for VS code
and you can get that from the Visual Studio marketplace
Next you configure the Quantum Development Kit for Mac
in your favorite terminal with one command,
which you can see here.
Then finally, you want to clone our Q# library
and samples from Github.
Now you're ready to build some Q# code.
Last time, Krista showed us calculating the ground state
of hydrogen, which leveraged Q# and C# functions,
as well as graphical output for the analysis.
Let's take a look at how this works on the Mac.
I've got exactly the same code on the Mac
as we showed last time on Windows.
Our hydrogen ground state project opens into VS code
and I have access to all the source files
including Q# and C# with syntax coloring.
Here is the C# driver, calling into our Q# code,
which does our quantum operations.
Now I'll run this code on my Mac.
You'll see that we get similar graphical richness
to what we had on Windows.
Including the predictive plot line and the actual analysis.
This is a combination of the Q# run time
talking to the quantum simulator.
So you've got a consistent experience from code editing
to quantum simulation, to analysis, across platforms.
And you can access this same experience
if you're running on Linux.
You can find details at the link shown.
Now a lot of quantum research has been done using Python.
Today we're making a preview of Python interoperability
on Windows.
Let's take a look at how it works.
I'll move to a remote session, running Windows.
In VS Code on Windows I've a project open that explores
quantum tomography, which is the process of testing
quantum operations that works the same in quantum simulators
as it does on actual quantum computers.
The quantum operation that I want to explore
is written here in Q#.
This operation takes a qubit as a perimeter,
along with a range of noise that is going to apply
to a hadamard operation that will probe from Python.
Over here on my Python code we're calling a function
single qubit process tomography that we run 10,000 times.
Now I'll run it.
So the first thing it's gonna do is initialize our simulator
that will be used for simulating this quantum operation.
It's now preparing a tomography model that will be applied
to that hadamard channel and then it begins the process
of running those 10,000 iterations
of that probing function.
Our output shows our predicted results on the right,
what we expected the noise to look like.
On the left we see how the tomography process works
with the noise we injected.
The artifacts appear because we limited the number
of measurements to 10,000, but we can clearly see
a trend in the quantum operation
toward the predicted noise model.
We could even improve the accuracy with more iterations.
Now we know that one of the most popular places to work
with scientific analysis like this is Jupyter Notebooks.
Here in my browser I have got a Jupyter Notebook open.
This Python interoperability works great
from Jupyter Notebooks,
allowing you to integrate Q# results through Python
into the notebooks you're already using.
So you can see here we have the exact same results
from our tomography example embedded directly into
our Jupyter Notebook.
One more thing to note.
We've also improved the speed and efficiency of our
quantum simulator which will be especially noticeable
for simulations requiring 20 or more qubits.
I hope you've enjoyed our introduction
to the latest updates to our Quantum Development Kit
which bring support for macOS and Linux based development
as well as a preview of Python interoperability.
You can get started by downloading the latest previews
for Linux and macOS at the link shown.
Oh, and one last thing.
We know that many of you find the source code
in our library, samples, and tutorials really useful
and you want to use that code in your own projects,
so we've made these fully open source on Github
to allow you to build on top of our code
and contribute your ideas back to the Q# Quantum Community.
You can find out more about quantum computing
and Microsoft's approach at microsoft.com/quantum.
Keep the feedback coming and thanks for watching.

Good news as Liverpool & Real Madrid could agree deal for Dani Ceballos ● News Now - transfer ● #LFC - Duration: 2:15.
What must be noted is that Mundo Deportivo are a Catalan newspaper,
and with Ceballos choosing Real Madrid over Barcelona last summer, there's always likely
to be some bitterness.
Given his age and limited playing time this season-he's seen just 186 minutes of action
in La Liga and most of his playing time has come in the Copa del Rey, it's hard to see
Ceballos as a player who would be signed to make an immediate impact.
Diario Gol reports that apart from Liverpool, London clubs Tottenham and Arsenal are also
interested in acquiring the services of the talented midfielder and are constantly keeping
track of the youngster's situation at Madrid.
According to El Chiringuito TV, Liverpool emerged as a suitor for the former Spain u21
global last month only for Real to reject the approach.
The Daily Star's Callum Vurley also referenced Spanish journalist Cristobal Soria, who detailed
Liverpool "settled on Ceballos" as a Philippe Coutinho replacement, but his club blocked
his January departure: "Something's going on".
Ceballos is a highly gifted midfielder and it would be foolish if the La Liga giants
let him go.
Dani Ceballos joined Los Blancos from Real Betis for €16.5 million in July but has
since failed to live up to expectations at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Daily Mirror cited a report from Spanish television show El Chiringuito, which said
Ceballos has requested he be permitted an Anfield switch at the end of the season after
growing frustrated in Spain's capital.
As for Navas, he is set to be one of a number of casualties in Madrid this summer with he
club set to revamp their squad following.

About PACCC: The Three Certification Levels for Pet Care Professionals - Duration: 1:09.
Hi, Jess Okon here from the Professional Animal Care Certification Council. In our
first video you learned a little bit more about what PACCC is and how to be a
part of it. Now, I want to talk to you about three levels of certification and
which one's right for you. The first level is our Provider exam. A provider is
anyone that's on the hands-on level with animals. This is in charge of the daily
handling, feeding, walking, and monitoring of playgroups at a doggy daycare or hotel.
Our next level of certification is the Manager level. This requires four
thousand hours of hands-on experience, a high school or GED diploma, and two
letters of recommendation. The Manager is a person in charge of daily operations,
managing the team, and as well as client interactions. Our last level is the
Operator level. This requires five years of hands-on experience with 1 year in an
Operator position, meaning hands-on management of operations. We also require
2 letters of recommendation and membership with an active pet Industry
association. Hopefully those explanations help you decide which level of PACCC
certification is right for you.

Tales & Travel Memories: Literacy-focused Programming for People with Dementia - Duration: 49:08.
- [Instructor] If you have any chat questions,
go ahead and use the chat box, and type them in there
and I will read those questions off to the participants
at the end of the presentation.
I am recording this presentation, and it will be
shared on YouTube once closed captioning is complete.
The person who's asking if you can record this,
actually I'll be recording it and I'll send out
an email to everyone who's registered
when the link is live on YouTube.
So we'll go that way.
We do that with all our presentations.
I'm gonna go ahead, whoops.
And introduce myself really quickly.
This is a Kernel of Knowledge webinar, it's a series
from the National Network of Libraries of Medicine
here at the University of Iowa.
We serve the greater Midwest region
of the National Network of Libraries and Medicine,
hence the kernel in our Kernel of Knowledge webinar series.
My name is Bobbi Newman.
I'm the Community Engagement and Outreach Specialist here.
And as maybe you can tell, I have a little bronchitis,
so I will not be talking very much today, and hopefully,
I will be able to mute myself before I cough.
Now go ahead and get you introduced
to your presenters today.
I know they have a great program
they're going to be sharing with you.
First is Glenna, she's the Life Enrichment Liaison
with the Gail Borden Public Library district.
She has a background in developing leadership programming
for at-risk students in grades five through eight.
Glenna directed the creation of 15 original operas
from scratch, as an artist and residence program
at Eldridge Community College for 15 years.
She has extensive experience in dementia care
and currently designs and implements library programming
for senior nursing assisted living facilities,
as well as a residential developmental facilities
and developmental day programs.
And Ben is the, oh I'm sorry,
Ben was the Library on the Go Manager
at the Gail Borden Public Library District
in Elgin, Illinois.
He has a new position and I'll let him explain that to you.
He supervised a team of five pe pe, a team of five,
responsible for developing programming and services
to customers of all ages across the library district,
which spans more than 65 square miles
and serves approximately 150 thousand residents.
He's been with Gail Borden since 2015
and earned his MLS from Dominican in 2015.
Mary Beth is a retired librarian.
She resigned in 2008 from a position as university librarian
for Roosevelt University in Chicago
to care for her husband with young onset dementia.
She then developed a series of book and reading programs
for people with dementia, titled, 'Tales and Travels,'
which is currently being offered by
the Gail Borden Public Library
at 10 memory care facilities in Elgin, Illinois.
She has also served for five years on the leadership team
of the Alzheimer's and Related Dementias Interest groups
of the American Library Association.
With that, I'm going to go ahead
and stop sharing my screen
and Mary Beth, if you'd like to share yours.
- [Mary Beth] Are you seeing it?
- [Instructor] Not yet.
- [Mary Beth] Okay, there?
- [Instructor] Yup, there we go.
- [Mary Beth] Okay, terrific.
Thank you Bobbi for your kind introductions.
Ben, Glenna, and I are thrilled to have this opportunity
to talk with you as public and medical librarians,
who are committed to promoting healthy communities.
About one of the top health concerns in this country
that tends to get overlooked...
Oh goodness, I don't..Sorry.
Did you know that the Alzheimer's disease
is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States,
according to the Alzheimer's Association?
Did you know that over 5.5 million Americans
were living with Alzheimer's in 2017
and that number could basically triple
to 16 million by 2050?
This slide shows projections for all 50 states
over the next eight years.
Did you know that one in 10 Americans,
65 years and older, has Alzheimer's?
Perhaps some of you have been affected
personally by Alzheimer's or are related dementia
yourselves as I have been.
So let's start with the basics.
What is dementia?
One definition from the Alzheimer's Association
is that dementia is an umbrella term
describing a variety of diseases and conditions.
That develop when nerve cells in the brain, called neurons,
die or no longer function normally.
The death or malfunction of neurons
causes changes in one's memory, behavior, language,
and ability to think clearly.
While 60% to 80% of those living with dementia
have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease
with a traditional short-term memory loss,
there are many other types of dementia,
including vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies,
and frontal temporal degeneration,
of which my husband's disease was a subset.
A significant number of people
are being diagnosed with young onset dementia
as early as their forties and fifties.
There are also several stages of dementia,
early, middle, and late.
Frequently people are not even diagnosed
until they have entered the middle stage.
Progression of dementia can be fairly fast
or last for up to two decades.
There are tremendous amounts of variation.
So it is safe to say that when you have met one person
with dementia you have met one person with dementia.
This is obviously a huge and expensive problem
that our society is facing.
The federal government is finally realizing
that we need to plan now for this coming explosion,
especially as the baby boomer generation ages.
In January 2011 the National Alzheimer's Project Act
or, NAPA, was signed into law.
The law calls for the creation of a national plan
to coordinate research efforts,
accelerate the development of treatments,
and improve diagnosis and coordination of care
among other activities.
Individual states are also developing their own plans.
It has been well documented that there continues
to be a stigma associated with dementia.
Fear of the label keeps people unnecessarily from treatment
and the opportunity to make plans in advance.
It also keeps the general public uneducated
about this disease and how it affects the person,
their family, and the wider community.
When I was caring for my husband
I was aware of how important it was
to provide him with meaningful activities
that maintained his dignity and self-esteem.
If there is one thing that you take away
from my portion of this webinar,
I hope it is the idea that people with dementia
are just that, people.
By focusing on each person as an individual
with their own past interests and current abilities,
we can do much to combat that stigma.
The gold standard of care for persons with dementia
that is now emerging is called Person Centered Care.
This involves treating the whole person,
including all the aspects shown here in this graphic.
According to the Alzheimer's Society,
which is the British counterpart
to the Alzheimer's Association here in the states,
the key points of Person-centered care
are one: treating the person with dignity and respect,
two: understanding their history, lifestyle,
culture, and preferences, including their likes,
dislikes, hobbies, and interests.
Three: Looking at situations from the point of view
of the person with dementia.
Four: Providing opportunities for the person
to have conversations and relationships with other people.
And Five: Ensuring the person has the chance
to try new things or take part in activities they enjoy.
It is a misconception that people diagnosed
with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia
can no longer read. Research fares this out.
Michelle S. Bourgeois, Professor in the Department
of Communication Sciences and Disorders
at the University of South Florida, states,
"All my research demonstrates that people
who were literate maintained the ability to read
until their end stages of dementia."
As early as 2007 the International Federation of
Library Associations, or IFLA,
developed their guidelines for library services
to persons with dementia.
Based on the efforts of librarians in the Netherlands
and the United Kingdom, who advocated for the use
of books and reading with this population.
The University of Liverpool Center for Research
into to Reading Information and Linguistic Systems,
published a study on their reading-based intervention
in May 2012.
They indicate that quote,
"The major conclusion from sources both qualitative
and quantitative is that reading group activity
produces a significant reduction in dementia symptoms.
Staff interviews indicated a contribution
of reading groups to wellbeing,
specifically, there are strong indications that
the power of literary language can both
trigger relevant past experience
and prompt fresh acts of thought." End quote.
So, what can librarians do to make a difference
in the lives of those in their communities
living with dementia?
It's my belief that we can take a page
from the efforts of other professionals
such as music and art therapist,
who use their specialties to improve
the quality of life for people with dementia.
You have probably run across stories on television
or in the newspaper about how drama therapy,
nature therapy, or pet therapy have brought joy
to people diagnosed with dementia.
The medical community call these,
non-pharmacological interventions.
So I thought, why not add books and reading?
Starting when I retired in 2008,
I delivered the Tales and Travel program
for two years by my self as a volunteer
at a local memory care facility.
Tales and Travel is a one hour program
designed to take individuals in the early
or mid-stages of dementia on an imaginary trip
to another country or part of the United States,
using library materials.
The program engages them both socially and cognitively.
As the program proved quite successful,
I wanted to share this idea with other librarians.
I eventually found some very enthusiastic partners
in the librarians and the Gail Borden Public Library
in Elgin, Illinois.
Tales and Travel is now offered at, I believe,
10 assisted living facilities within
the Gail Borden Library district.
Before I turn the program over to our next speaker
I'd like to share a few communication tips
that I have utilized when presenting
the Tales and Travel program to groups
living in memory care facilities.
It's important to build trust and rapport
with the participants.
This can be done simply by greeting each person
individually as they come in to the room.
Approach the person from the front, if possible,
moving slowly, smile at them and offer you hand
for them to shake.
Get down to their level if they are seated
and make eye-contact.
Introduce yourself saying something like,
'Hi, my name is Mary Beth. I'm here from the library.
What's your name?'
If possible make simple name tags
that you can put on the table in front of them
so you can address by name throughout the program.
When the group is assembled, introduce yourself again,
stating that you have brought books and stories
from the library so that we can all go
on an imaginary trip to another country.
Speak clearly and slowly with a voice
that is loud enough for the group to hear you.
You don't have to shout.
Use simple vocabulary and short sentences.
Be enthusiastic and have fun.
During the browsing part of the program
feel free to walk around and engage
the participants in conversation by asking simple questions
about what they're looking at in the books.
It's better to avoid open-ended questions.
Be patient as it may take them some time
to start speaking or finish a thought.
Use active listening skills and pay attention
to their body language.
Many of the participants
are eager to talk about memories triggered by the program.
This opportunity to engage in one-on-one conversation
is an extremely important part of Tales and Travel.
I will now turn the program over to Ben,
who will tell you more about how
the Tales and Travel Memories Program works in action.
So Ben are you ready?
- [Ben] I am ready.
Just bringing up the portion of the talk that's mine.
Let's see here...
There we go.
So thank you Mary Beth and Bobbi for hosting this
and Mary Beth for leading off.
As Bobbi mentioned, my position here
at the library has recently changed.
I have transferred into the Information Services Department,
where I get to go back to my roots, I guess, as a librarian.
So that's kind of nice for me.
And as Mary Beth mentioned, Tales and Travel Memories
is just one way to connect with an, often, underserved group
and it is a book and literacy program for older adults
with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias.
And as Mary Beth also mentioned,
it is in particularly retaining reading ability
or socializing with others and that reading ability
is retained long into the end stages of the disease.
Tales and Travel Memories is a lot of things.
It is grant funded and you can see here
a list of the monetary awards and grants
that the project has received over the last few years.
We also receive funding from donations
through the Karen Macki Fund for memory programs
in care of the Gail Borden Public Library district.
And donation information can be found
on the Tales and Travel website.
It's also award-winning.
These are just a few.
We've received several awards since
its inception in 2013 under Mary Beth.
Most recently it was identified as the 2017
Library of Congress Literacy Award's Best Practice Honoree.
That's a mouthful.
And only 15 organizations or programs across the country
were included as the Best Practice Honoree in 2017.
So it really is a very prestigious, well, honor.
And it's study-powered.
We partnered with Doctor Susan Wesner
of Judson University here Elgin to conduct a study to prove
that Tales and Travel does what we thought it would.
And the 2015 grant that I mentioned earlier required a study
to explore what we thought would happen
with Tales and Travel.
That Tales & Travel would engage and improve the cognitive
and social interactions of individuals with dementia.
That it would positively impact the relationship
between care givers and individuals with dementia
by providing stimulating activities
and reducing the number of stressful interactions.
That Tales and Travel would expand the library's engagement
with an under-served population
and that it would decrease stigma and stereotypes
of adults with dementia by demonstrating elements
of cognition that remain
throughout the course of the disease.
And there are a couple of things
that touch on this success.
The Target Grant was administered by
The National Network Libraries of Medicine.
And you can see from the pie chart
that 80% of respondents report and excellent success rate.
So Tales and Travel Memories does what it purports to do.
There's a lot of really positive results as you can see.
Socialization, positive emotions,
cognitive skills like verbalization and recall,
reading ability, emotional response,
and even volunteers note an improved perception
of individuals with dementia after participating.
So it's not just the residents
of an assisted living community in a memory care unit.
It's also the volunteers
that are being served by this program.
So as part of her study,
Doctor Wesner also attended Tales and Travel Memory program
to get a sense of the project.
And she shared a memorable scene with us.
A volunteer started the program by telling a folk story
that entailed and included several animals.
The participants then chose a book
and while the books were being read
volunteers shared memorabilia from Canada.
Leaves, flags, stuffed animals, to name a few.
I happened to be reading with an individual who was alert
but had difficulty speaking clearly.
When a small bear was passed around
the participant's eyes lit up and he stopped reading.
While the individual was trying
to verbally explain something to me
that I could not understand,
he was pointing to the bear in the hallway.
I said, "You must have a similar bear in your room."
He nodded.
I worked my way around the room and a few minutes later
I noticed the individual was no longer present.
I figured he was finished with the program.
However, about 10 minutes later,
the individual came back to the table with several items.
A basket full of stuffed animals and a three foot bear
that was the same type as the smaller bear
the volunteers had passed around earlier.
As I approached this individual
he was removing each smaller stuffed animal
from the basket and I realized that each animal
represented one that was in the folktale
that was read at the beginning of the program.
This behavior was evidence to me that the individual,
who our society may assume is unaware,
due to memory loss and lack of verbal communication,
had been cognitively stimulated and engaged in this program.
The individual wanted to participate
by sharing his treasures with the group.
The active sharing demonstrated to me that first,
the participant heard and understood the folktale.
Second, the participant visually connected an object
with objects in his room.
And third, he wanted to bring them back
to connect his past experience with the group socially.
So I wrote a little bit of anecdotal evidence
from Doctor Susan Wesner.
So how does it work?
There are a couple of variations
of Tales and Travel Memories.
In one, volunteers picked up materials at the library
and traveled to assisted living communities
to deliver our program and that's the program
that Mary Beth touched on earlier.
And that Glenna will be really getting into
the nuts and bolts on in a bit.
And then in the other version,
customers can come to the library and check out a kit.
And that will be books, cds, a globe
so people can know where they're going.
Gotta know where you're going.
And how to use this kit.
And that kind of helps with people who are new
to care for people with dementia.
And also, for just kind of an orientation session
on the kit.
We've got a lot of different destinations,
like China, Africa, France, Germany
and we're planning more as we go
and you can find a fuller list of those destinations
with folk tales on our website,
which is TalesandTravelMemories.com.
Some of the materials that we use
in Tales and Travel Memories are books.
As we mentioned earlier,
there's a book and a literacy-focused program.
And when we talk about books there are several types.
This slide shows the adult collection.
Many items work well for participants
and adult materials like the ones pictured here,
offer a lot of really solid information and great photos
but text may be too small
or academic in nature for some readers.
A second option are the children's collection
and middle school or junior high materials.
These are often intended for middle school students
but offer a middle ground for Tales & Travel participants
that contain vibrant images and contain sound information
and research but can be a bit more digestible for readers.
And finally, we have a primary level collection.
These contain eye-catching photos
and are usually written at a very accessible level.
Can appeal to participants particularly
since information is given simpler terms and smaller chunks.
An added benefit to primary level materials
is that they're often physically smaller and lighter.
So participants with dexterity and strength challenges
can still turn pages.
A point to remember with each
of the previous materials categories is that
no one group will appeal to all participants.
It's important to carry a variety of items such as,
because each participant is individual.
Our next slide is a video sample
of Tales and Travel in action.
- Video Narrator] "Mae is a lively
and charming woman in her golden years.
She still enjoys reading stories out loud
just as she used to do for children and grandchildren.
Several years ago May was diagnosed with a form of dementia.
Mae now lives in a memory care facility.
Mae is participating in an innovative
book and reading program called Tales and Travel.
Each month library staff or volunteers
from the Gail Borden Public Library in Elgin, Illinois
take persons living in care facilities
on an imaginary trip to a different country or U.S. state
using library materials.
Libraries are a perfect partner for memory care facilities.
Most communities have a public library
whose mission is to serve everyone
living within its boundaries.
Memory care centers, day care centers,
and even individual care givers
are always looking for way to stimulate and engage people
afflicted with these devastating illnesses.
Libraries are a treasure trove of wonderful materials
that care professionals and individual care givers
can use at no charge.
The Tales and Travel program has proven to be a success
with both residence and care staff
at residential facilities.
Libraries throughout the country
are encouraged to try implementing simple program
such as this one in their local communities.
A relatively small investment of time and resources
can yield wonderful results."
- [Ben] So with that,
I'll hand off the presentation to Glenna Godinski,
who is the library's Life Enrichment Liaison.
- [Glenna] Thank you Ben.
And now we'll share a bit more about the experiences
that we've had in implementing Tales and Travel
in our Gail Borden Public Library district
in Elgin, Illinois.
As Bobbi mentioned earlier,
our district serves 150 thousand patrons over
a 65 square mile area with a team of six regular volunteers
and myself as a staff member, we present Tales and Travel
at seven different memory care communities each month.
On average we're providing group presentations
that allow for quality one-on-one interaction
with 70 individuals each month.
Our schedule is designed on two month rotation.
That means that if you're a memory care center
and we come to your community in January
we will skip February and be back in March.
During the month of February our volunteer teams
will visit another separate set
of seven memory care centers.
And looking at our total numbers
across January and February,
which is our two month rotation,
we're visiting a grand total of 14 different locations
and visiting with 140, on average, different individuals.
The schedule has developed over a course of four years.
And we stress the importance of starting small
and growing responsibly to always ensure
that quality programming and interactions are taking place.
Tales and Travel is unique in the way it encourages
those with dementia and their care givers
to continue to enjoy literacy through books and discussions.
In turn this offers empowerment while living in the moment.
As Ben spoke about earlier,
the program was developed by Mary Beth Riedner
and Gail Borden Public Library District,
Karen Macki and Miriam Lytle.
The Tales and Travel program most recently received
the Library of Congress Literacy Award
Best Practice Honoree on November 20, 2017.
So we're really pleased to have had that happen.
Moving on to the next slide here,
Tales and Travel is as evidence-based research,
we've been able to document the positive effects
the program has had on participants
while diminishing the stigma of dementia.
As Ben mentioned, the Tales and Travel program
allows participants to take an imaginary trip
to a foreign country using books
with large colorful photography
that can be found in the children's non-fiction collection
and in the adult collection.
Supplementary items also help bring the country to life.
Tales and Travel circulating kits
contain the same type of books and supplementary materials
that are used in the Tales and Travel programs.
Tales and Travel circulating kits may be checked-out
by care givers for up to 28 days to use at home
while caring for a loved one with dementia
or to take to a residential community
when visiting a loved one.
What does a Tales and Travel program look like?
Well the aspects of the Tales and Travel program
can be adapted to each specific audience on the spot.
More time can be spent on one activity
and less on another based on interest.
Gail Borden Public Library District provides
downloadable free used, copyright free fact sheets
and folktales on the Tales and Travel website.
This is the page you will see when you click excursions,
that button on our website.
From here you can choose the country you plan to visit
and print facts about that country
as well as a folktale from that country.
Assembling a Tales and Travel kit.
The materials that go into a circulating kit
are similar to the materials we use when we give a program.
Circulating kits contain five books
while presentation kits contain around 15 to 20 books,
so that each participant has a book to browse and discuss
before trading with a neighbor.
You can draw from weeded and donated items in your community
just to keep the development costs low.
Powered by volunteers!
If you already have volunteers who are assembling supplies
for your children's programming,
there won't be much difference in assembling
a Tales and Travel programs and kits.
We do draw from both the children and adult collections.
Social and cognitive engagement increases.
The social emotional value of providing
a Tales and Travel programming visit
serves not only the patron with dementia,
as Ben mentioned, it supports the activity staff
in senior residential communities,
it supports home care givers,
and it provides the volunteers with a sense
of accomplishment and connection.
The positive mood in the room as a group discusses
and listens to stories from a foreign country is contagious.
Even for those who are further advanced in their dementia.
The stigma of dementia decreases and isolation decreases
as activity staff see the level of engagement
that residents have with Tales and Travel folktales
they'll often encourage their participants
to take a turn reading.
Those with dementia are often
able to read until the final stage.
By participating in group activities isolation is decreased.
We've discovered that vision slips gradually
and magnification can help.
We have found that there's a handful of folks out there
who had stopped reading because their vision
had changed enough to make it uncomfortable.
When provided with magnifiers,
these patrons found it enjoyable to read again.
These are some quotes from some of the people
we've visited recently in doing our programs.
"I was going to stay in my room,
but then I heard the library was coming.
I love the stories you bring."
Another one was,
"This was the best program I've ever attended."
And then, "You gotta love the library."
That one I heard as I was getting on the elevator
to leave, as the door was closing,
"You gotta love the library." (laughs)
So those are all wonderful testimonials. (laughs)
Next, this is support that we use in Illinois
and in a moment Mary Beth will talk
to the national stage level of support that's out there,
but this Illinois group of community service
and outreach library personnel
meets four times a year at rotating locations.
Accessibility is increased through video conferencing.
For example, the May 18 and July 20, 2018 meetings this year
with take place in Burr Ridge, Illinois
but will be video conferences to
the Rockford Rails location among other locations.
We share program ideas for what we're currently presenting
and we collaborate on ways to serve the unique needs
of those with dementia as well as their caregivers.
So you are certainly invited to join us.
Now I'll turn the microphone back over to Mary Beth Reidner
who will elaborate on what's happening
on the national stage.
- [Ben] So we're gonna stop sharing now Mary Beth.
- [Mary Beth] Okay.
Alright I hope you can see this one
about the Alzheimer's and related dementia's interest group.
As Glenna said, we have number of national resources
that may be of interest to you
as you get started working with people with dementia.
The Alzheimer's and Related Dementias Interest Group,
or IGARD, is an interest group of ASCLA,
which is a division of the American Library Association.
It was established in 2013 and we have over 50 members
from across the nation.
Our formal mission is to focus on creating, disseminating,
and implementing guidelines to library services
to people living with Alzheimer's and related dementias.
Our informal mission is to identify
and coordinate the efforts of librarians
as they provide services and programming
directly to these people not just their caregivers.
IGARD has its own web page, which is shown here,
and a free listserv.
On the web page you will see present leadership,
links to best practices,
information about upcoming conferences,
as well as news sources and related resources.
And why am I not getting the way to go forward?
Sorry.
Here is information about how to join IGARD
and the free listserv and I believe you will be able to
access this slide later so you don't need
to copy this down now.
There is also a fairly new nationwide initiative
called Dementia Friendly America, or DFA,
that appears to be a natural ally to IGARD'S efforts.
There are now communities in 28 states across the country
moving forward toward becoming dementia friendly.
This is a collaborative effort
uniting all aspects of a community,
including government bodies, first responders,
businesses, faith communities,
legal and financial services, health services,
and community organizations.
When I first learned about DFA,
there appeared to be something missing, the public library.
That has since been corrected
and DFA has added a sector guide for libraries
outlining a wide variety of ways that librarians
can add value to the dementia-friendly movement.
Here are links to some resources
and websites that you might find useful,
and again you can refer to these later.
But before I close, I'd like to make it clear
that the Tales and Travel Program,
while quite successful and hopefully easy to replicate,
is only one way to reach out to persons with dementia.
The only limit is the creativity, abilities, and energy
of the librarians and volunteers in your libraries.
Librarians across the country are already doing some
very creative things utilizing music, poetry,
and technology as well as providing meeting space
for memory cafes and caregiver support groups.
I hope that you might be motivated
to add similar services and programs to your library.
Start small.
Grow the program over time as you get more comfortable.
Partner with related agencies in your area
for training or conducting a program.
Network with other library colleagues.
Take a few risks and enjoy yourself.
Do whatever works for you, your staff, and your community.
Working with this population is very rewarding.
They're all just people like you and me
who want to be valued as human beings.
To be treated with respect and to be given opportunities
to participate in life as much as possible.
Our society is just beginning to wake up
to the realization that we need to be ready
to care for the large numbers of people
who are and will be effected by some kind of dementia.
There is a role for librarians to play
as community leaders to be at the forefront
of planning for truly dementia-friendly libraries.
Thank you for your time and attention.
I'll pass it back over to Bobbi I believe.
- [Bobbi] Yeah sure, you can pass it back over to me.
So we've some time for questions everybody.
Thank you Mary Beth, Glenna, and Ben.
You gave us a lot to think about.
There was some great data in that presentation
as well as a lot of ideas
for how to make outreach programming
or Tales and Travel type programming work at your library
both as outreach and as a checkout kit.
I'm gonna give everybody a little time
to go ahead and type some questions into the chat box.
I will read them out to our presenters,
so if you have anything you'd like to know
now is the time to ask.
We would like to remind everybody that, as Ben put it out,
the National Network of Libraries of Medicine
did provide some funding for part of this project,
which we are very proud to have done.
And our new funding cycle is about to start.
We'll be putting out our awards,
our call for proposals, our applications for awards soon.
So let me ask..
So okay, so somebody is asking, in the comments section,
Are there kits near Eagle River, Wisconsin?
Are other libraries doing these kits?
- [Mary Beth] Yes.
We've worked with a number of different libraries
across the united states and Canada
so each library is interested in developing
what they have from their collections
and also tailoring that toward their specific audiences.
So yes, there's a good chance
that there is something out there
and certainly at the end of this webinar
we'll have our contact information.
We are really happy to work with you.
We can give specific information
and we can kind of brainstorm together.
So please be in-touch with us.
- [Ben] And I would add that if there aren't kits
or a library that doesn't have kits near you,
I would talk to your library staff.
Talk to your librarians and say,
'I'd like to ask, I'd like to start a kit
for a dementia-friendly community here.
I'd like to build a Tales and Travel style kit.'
And all those resources, or starter resources I should say,
are on our website at www.talesandtravelmemories.com.
- [Bobbi] And I'm looking at that website right now
and the excursions tab has sort of a great list
of the different places that you can go and the guides.
I'm gonna post that in the chat really quickly.
Whoops. That was not their correct...
Oh, it's because I'm working on two computers
and not one computer with two screens.
Okay, let me read another question.
'Can you please let me know
which libraries in Canada are do this?'
Do you have a list of libraries that are doing this?
- [Glenna] We've been working most recently
with Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
And I do have a list, which I'm happy,
if you'd like to get in touch with me
I can forward that to you.
I don't have the list in front of me here, unfortunately.
But we'll be happy to provide that.
- [Bobbi] So that's not something
that's necessarily on the website?
- [Glenna] Not as of now, no.
We don't publish the contacts we have
but I do a list that I'm happy to share.
- [Bobbi] That makes sense.
We have another question.
Somebody asked, I mentioned those excursion sheets
and somebody said, 'So, we can do these ourselves,
using these excursion data sheets?'
- [Ben] That's correct.
All we ask is that if you do choose share them
that you do so under creative commons licensing.
I believe there are a share of likes
so we just need that citation on there.
And yeah, use the sheets to build
a program for in people in your community, that's the idea.
- [Bobbi] Great, so everything you need to
everything they would need to start their own program
is on the website.
- [Glenna] Absolutely.
And then one point that's kind of fun,
is that when you notice on
the talesandtravelmemories.com website,
you'll see the little suitcase
and inside the suitcase that's by
the Tales and Travel logo you'll see
the Gail Borden Public Library logo,
we invite you to take away our logo
and drop yours right into that little suitcase
on all of the materials that you have
so it really does show our partnership.
- [Bobbi] Great, great. Okay let's see.
Another question we've got from the audience,
'Are volunteers doing the outreach to the memory care units,
or is there always a librarian involved?'
- [Mary Beth] Right now we use a team of three volunteers
on Mondays so there is no staff member that goes with them.
They have been trained and well-vetted
through our library district prior to going out.
So those three volunteers make up their own team.
And in general a team can consist of your front person,
who's doing most of the talking.
And your support person, who is handing around the books
and helping to turn pages.
And then you may even have a third person
who's in the background looking up extra information
and they have a laptop with them,
so if a person turns to a page
and really wants to know more about what they're reading,
you've got someone there who can do that as well.
So there's roles for every different type
of personality you may come across in volunteer.
The person who's real outgoing
to the person who would rather be in the background
helping out in that way.
- [Bobbi] And..
How are you doing the training for the volunteers?
- [Mary Beth] Oh, I'm sorry.
Could you repeat that question please?
- [Bobbi] Sure.
How are you doing the training for the volunteers?
- [Mary Beth] This is the step that we take,
the first thing a person if they'd like to volunteer
is they go onto our library's website,
where they fill out a volunteer application.
We do have a person who manages all of our volunteers,
so we're very fortunate here in our district.
So she'll receive the application
and interview that person to make sure
that they would be a good fit.
There are a number of opportunities in any library,
where you may be working with children,
you may be working with seniors,
and most people with gravitate one direction or another.
Based on a person seeming to be a good fit,
they are then invited to come along
in the programs that we already have in place.
So they're kind of shadowing what's happening.
They're able to see what's going on
so they can decide whether it's a good fit for them or not.
We do have some training materials
that they can look through as well,
which are very similar to what you've just seen here
that explains what Tales and Travel is
and really emphasizes the fact of, you know,
empowering people and being respectful of course.
But then once people have had a chance to shadow
they can be built into their own team of volunteers
and we invite them to present with friends
because, you know, it's kind of like
we're having a great time and we're inviting you too.
So we want it to be fun on all aspects.
- [Bobbi] Well, that sounds great.
Somebody did ask in chat, you'll notice I changed the slide
and that's because someone asked again,
'Who do we contact for the libraries in Wisconsin?'
and I think that that was you Glenna?
- [Glenna] Yes that's correct.
You can get in touch with Glenna Godinsky
at ggodinsky@gailborden.info.
- [Bobbi] Okay, great.
And it looks like, I don't see any other questions
I just see a comment from Karen Witt in Indiana,
who is letting everybody know that thanks to funding from us
they're bringing in an Alzheimer's Speaks founder,
Lori La Bey, to the Westchester public library
for their community conversation's series in March,
which I am very excited to hear how that goes.
And, we just have another comment that says,
'It looks like a wonderful program, thank you.'
Somebody else is very excited
about doing this program in their community.
- [Glenna] Wonderful! Thank you so much.
It's really exciting because we're all
a big team out there. (laughs)
- [Bobbi] This is great.
It sounds like you've really inspired people
to do some interesting outreach.
It looks like maybe questions are starting to die off.
So I'm gonna switch my share back
to the 'What Next?' slide I had up.
Let's see..
And I'll do a quick wrap-up here.
Whoops.
So as I mentioned at the beginning of the presentation,
I did record the presentation
and once we get that closed captioning up
I will be posting that on YouTube.
I will send a link out to everyone who registered
for this class with that information.
So if you are on the call you'll receive that
and if you're not be seeing that.
Someone else said that they are
oh, so someone is asking a question
about the tactile part of the programs.
Do you give examples or are those included in the kits?
- [Glenna] They are included in the kits.
And the nice thing about that is
you can use what's already on hand
in your own supply there at your library.
What we tend to use is one flag
of whatever nation you are visiting.
We a miniature, probably 5 inch size
that can be passed around.
We also include magnets from refrigerators
that are about four inches in height
and about three inches across.
And they're usually, they have kind of a texture to them.
It'll be something that you would visit that's very common.
The London Bridge, for example or the Taj Mahal.
Lot's of times we'll open a book to a page
where there's a map and we can actually find,
well this is where the Taj Mahal would be located
here on the map, you know.
So that helps with our discussion.
And then that's also nice for the fidgety hands
to have something to hold and pass around.
We also include dolls that are in traditional dress
and those go over really big.
Everyone enjoys seeing a traditionally dressed doll
and they pass them around and discuss,
you know, how they're made that sort of thing.
Those are the standard items that we'll include,
but then it could be that one of your volunteers
has been to the Caribbean and so they bring along
some sea shells that they picked up while they were there.
So you can always add whatever may be relevant
not only to the receivers of the program
but to the volunteers as well.
- [Bobbi] Okay, great.
And we have another question.
'Do you ever offer snacks related to the region of travel?'
- [Glenna] What we do with snacks
is we leave it up to the activity director
at each location that we visit
because they'll be aware of any kind of allergies
or any type of diet restrictions
but we do partner with them.
So, for example, we did a program
where they were doing a theme,
they actually doing a cruise at one of the locations
that we visit and they stopped in five different locations
so they said, "oh could you bring some things?"
So what they did was they had a dinner each night.
We visited Germany, we went to the Caribbean,
we went to Italy, you get the idea.
They had performers who came in,
and that was separate from what we did,
but they turned that into an entire week-long cruise.
Another idea is the spices.
When we visited India we took cookbooks with us
and we took along a variety of spices
that are very popular in the cooking in India.
So people were able to smell the different smells
and relate to whatever they may have had
experiences with in the past.
- [Bobbi] Great, great, sounds great.
Yeah this seems like a wonderful program.
Thank you Ben and Glenna and Mary Beth
for being on here to talk with us today.
I think you've inspired some libraries
to start doing this kind of programming,
which will be a lot of fun, I think.
So I want to do a quick wrap-up.
As I said, this program is being recorded
and I will send out that information to the listserv,
or to the people who signed up for the class.
I'll also be sending an email out
with a link to a survey about this webinar.
Please take a few minutes and give us your feedback.
That helps us improve our webinar series
for public libraries especially.
If you want or need a continuing education certificate,
once you complete the survey about the class
you'll be directed to that CE certificate.
So I'll include that link in the email
that I'll send out soon.
Oh thanks Karen.
If you're not familiar with
the National Network of Libraries of Medicine,
and this is your first webinar with us,
there are some benefits to membership.
It is free, it is institutional and not individual.
So if your library is not a member
you might want to consider joining.
You'll get a complimentary subscription
to the Medline Plus magazine.
It comes out four times a year.
It has some great health information and it is ad free.
You're also eligible then to apply for funding
for health and wellness programs and outreach.
Our funding cycle run May 1st to April 30th.
So we're actually getting ready
to put our awards on the website
and put out the call for applications.
And I believe we're gonna start taking those on April 1st.
No fooling.
And you can also order things
like complimentary handouts and posters for your library.
So for example, this wonderful poster
from the Libraries Transform campaign
that we partnered with.
And if you do Facebook or Twitter
feel free to follow us there.
Alright, that looks up, oh!
We've got somebody that says they're working on a grant
on dementia-friendly communities.
They're gonna be incorporating this so that's wonderful.
Let me know if you need any help.
I'm gonna switch back really quick
to your guy's contact information
in case anyone has some last minute questions.
Other than that we should be all set.
Alright everybody, thanks for being on the webinar today
and have a great afternoon.
- [Mary Beth] Thank you everyone.
- [Ben] Thank you.
- [Glenna] Thank you.
- [Narrator] Thanks for watching.

Lazio reject £62m bid for Man Utd and City target Sergej Milinkovic-Savic
LAZIO have told Manchester United, City and Real Madrid they must fork out $62million if thay are to land midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
The Serbia international has emerged as a top target for Europes top sides with Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain also reported to be interested.
The 22-year-old has been followed by both Manchester clubs while Real are also keen despite their liking for Chelseas Eden Hazard and, maybe, Tottenhams Dele Alli.
Goal.com say Lazio, who last summer knocked back a big money offer from an unnamed club, have now named their price.
Club director Igli Tare told Mediaset Premium: "Over the summer we received, and rejected, an offer worth £62 million for Milinkovic-Savic.
We want to make Lazio a point of arrival for players rather than a stepping stone to bigger club.
We have a lot of work to do, but that is our objective.
The team was built to achieve certain objectives and from now until the end of the season, there will be no more transfer market distractions.
Rumours in the media are part of the profession and you must learn to live with them. We want to win the Coppa Italia and qualify for the Champions League.
We won't snub the Europa League, but the principle target must be a top four finish in Serie A.
Said Milinkovic-Savic: I dont think about leaving Lazio because Im very happy in Rome.
But that could change over the summer if really big bids start flying in.
Especially if Milinkovic-Savic does, after all, fancy a move to either the Premier League or La Liga.

CRM Advantages for Nonprofits | RedCast EP:13 part2 - Duration: 7:26.
- Hello and welcome to episode 14 of the Redcast,
part two of the four part series of CRM for nonprofits.
I'm the host, Eric Lehnen of the Redcast
and in this next part we're going to be talking about
the detail of why nonprofits and foundations
and higher education organizations really need
to consider having a CRM and all the advantages
that come with it.
(lively music)
Why Salesforce for nonprofits, foundations, and higher eds?
You called out a really good point which is,
if you're a qualified 501(c)(3),
you get the Salesforce at org grant,
which provides 10 free enterprise licenses,
which is a huge step up for small nonprofits
that you only need a few users.
You have everything you need,
in there, to build that foundation.
So, why else, what are the other reasons for Salesforce?
So we have all these other cool tools,
we've got these pre-built connectors.
- Yeah, I mean, I think it's the ability
to customize and configure.
Salesforce by no means is a turnkey solution
and let's make sure we all know that and understand that.
But what Salesforce does have,
and I've heard this countless times spoken by many people,
copyright, the many people,
that you have access to a 747 now.
- Yeah.
- And, the way I like to explain, this
is that you have to shell to that 747
and you have maybe the seats, and you have the engines
and you have the...
All the cart trays and everything you need
to make that 747 a possibility,
but they may just not be done installed yet
and so that's where Salesforce becomes
a blessing and a burden.
Where I like to look at as more on the blessing side
is that I can choose where those seats are laid out.
- I can choose-- - For your use case.
- For my use case, I can put, six wide if I wanted to.
(laughs)
I can put two wide and then put, you know--
- To make it more comfortable.
- Yeah, or put the chairs together
so you can have conversations going.
- Yeah.
- You know, you can pick and choose
how those seats are laid out.
That's really where Salesforce sets us apart,
or sets itself apart from the others,
is that you can really customize
and configure and tailor it to meet your needs.
And it gives you a really good shell,
so Salesforce itself, the nonprofit Success Pack or Heata,
they give you a good shell and actually some good
building blocks to use and be up and running rather quickly.
And then from there, you can tailor it to do things
of what you want.
That's really what sets Salesforce apart
and why I think Salesforce is a really good tool,
is that you can tailor it and make it yours whether it be,
the processes that it wanted to have, so automations.
Maybe it's fields you want to track,
maybe it's how the pages look.
You know, I think about lightening and all the really
cool things we can make with page layouts.
That's something that doesn't really exist
in any of the apps right now.
It's kind of a, you drop and drag
and you build the page layout to make it look and feel
where it's efficient for you.
- And I also want to throw in...
There's not a technical expertise that goes in.
I mean you need to know
the foundational administrative side of Salesforce,
but you're tailoring it for your specific use case,
your experience for your users,
versus a turnkey solution that's,
sorry, your foundation or nonprofit,
well, this is what you get, this is what we have.
I mean there might be some differences,
but it's your specific organization can have
total control over process and automation.
- Exactly, and a great point
was the drop and drag interface.
Well I can do with the drop and drag interface.
I can't connect my printer at home to our wireless network.
(laughs)
And so the fact that I'm able to use Salesforce
and be able to build on Salesforce
and doing so on such a
advanced way is really powerful.
So there's a lot of things that we can do to make
Salesforce really powerful within that
drag and drop interface, for someone like myself
that, isn't super tech-savvy.
- Sure.
- But if I know how to,
navigate with the mouse, it becomes,
where the biggest barrier is that it's less about,
knowing if it's possible, it's knowing,
how do you do it and finding, okay,
which page do I need to be on
if I'm trying to create an automation,
so understanding, oh I need to be in process filter.
If I'm wanting to create, say a validation rule
or something that's gonna prohibit users from
entering data in a certain way,
I have to be in the validation rule section of.
- Yeah. - Kind of set up.
So, it's more about navigating where you need to be,
then how do you actually achieve it,
'cause once you get there,
I think it becomes intuitive.
- Mm, hm.
- There's probably something that may discredit that,
but I think it's rather intuitive once you get there.
- That's the balance of it.
- Or, you just play with it and try to see what happens
in the sandbox org and hopefully it works eventually.
(laugh)
- Well, I think that's the idea too, you know,
you mentioned it's a blessing and a burden.
Well, it's not a turnkey solution, you can configure it,
and I think that's a trade off that a lot of people
need to realize.
If you wanted to make it work around your specific processes
versus you have to tailor your organization
around a platform, which is sometimes in many ways,
counterintuitive, 'cause this doesn't make sense
in my organization, it's almost like they have to do
two steps backwards to get the platform to work for them,
versus Salesforce, yes, there's more customization,
configuration that goes into it, but the end
result is, it's gonna work for you.
I think that's a key point, is you're not having to
make the system...
Or you work around the system's limitations,
there are really no limitations.
I think you've coined the term many times,
it's like, if you can dream it, you can build it.
- Yeah, exactly and I think a prime example of this
would be the foundations and using Salesforce
for foundations.
There are a couple of apps that exist out there
that play with Salesforce and those apps are...
Make it more turnkey,
but if those apps are cost-prohibitive or maybe
they don't fit your needs, you still have
Salesforce that you can build effectively
what they're doing to solve your use case
and your specific processes, whether it be,
letter of inquiries and how that works,
or doing it in a slightly different flavor,
or the actual application process or even the reviews,
whatever that may be, you're able to take
the building blocks that Salesforce gives you.
It's kinda like Legos, you have all these blocks
and it's just a matter of are you gonna make
that really, really cool looking dinosaur or is it just
gonna look like this blob where I just stack stuff.
(laughs)
And, you can make that really cool dinosaur
with the same number of bricks that it would take.
And it's really more on what's the imagination,
and what are you wanting to do and how does it
relate back to you existing processes.

Life Perspective | 9 MUST HAVES FOR PLUS SIZED WOMEN - Duration: 9:23.
9 MUST HAVES FOR PLUS SIZED WOMEN
Flaunting the bold curves that you have is not something everyone could pull off well.
You can steal any show with the perfect confidence, right clothes, shoes and accessories!
You may have little extra kilos, but that should never stop you from being a fashionista.
It is more important to be comfortable in your skin than anything else is in this world.
Do not be bogged down when somebody tries to give you fashion advice; show them that
you can dress up better than them or than what most skinny people look like.
Ladies, let us be of a li'l help in this regard.
Here we have shared some wardrobe essentials that will show the world how big a stylist
you are yourself.
Check them out!Plus Size Womens Clothing
1.
A tank top is a necessity.
Cotton tank tops are not only super comfortable, but they look chic and cool at the same time.
They are wardrobe essentials for everyone!
Pick a white or a black tank top that you could wear with almost any colored bottom.
They are also great for workouts, or a cool Sunday brunch or professional meeting when
you team it with a blazer.
Light and easy to wear, this is an ultimate necessity!
2.
T-shirts too!
T-shirts are versatile and you can never go wrong with them.
For plus sized women boyfriend t-shirts or loose t-shirts look great!
Avoid the ones that are too loose as they would bring out a baggier look, and make you
look fatter.
Wear more of V-neck t-shirts that would make your upper body look leaner.
If you are not very comfortable with that, try the boat neck t-shirts.
Team with good-fitting jeans, mostly a high-rise one.
3.
Sweaters.
Having one basic sweater is mandatory.
We totally recommend solid colors when it comes to sweaters.
For example, you could never go wrong with a plain black sweater or a dark blue or maroon
shade.
You could team the same with basic jeans, a midi length or short skirt, nice boots or
heels, accessories by carrying a leather sling bag or small purse, and by wearing a statement
neckpiece or funky jewelry to complete your look.
4.
A-line skirt or pencil skirt.
These two lengths' skirts are meant for you.
If you are heavier at the bottom, these two types would give an illusion of a slimmer
version of you.
If your mid-section is broader, try a not too tight pencil skirt.
Don't believe it could make you appear leaner?
Try it for yourself.
Oh, you can team a pencil skirt with a plum jacket to look uber-trendy!Good Quality Women's
Plus Size Clothing 5.
Long shirts.
Long shirts with buttons, or no buttons to layer up your look is a wardrobe must-have
too.
Wear a tank or t-shirt with basic or ripped jeans and white sneakers, and don the long
shirt along with it for
a super casual day look!
6.
Button-up blouses.
A well-fitted button up blouse isn't hard to find at all, and a basic all-plain white
shirt is a wardrobe essential for everyone.
Buy the correct size and make sure it doesn't fall loose in any area of your upper body.
Check how it fits your bust so that you don't go wrong about the size.
The remaining part can be tailored as per your convenience.
Wear well-fitting jeans for a chic and casual look.
For a more formal look, you can team it with black trousers and pointed bellies.
7.
A special occasion dress/gown.
Own at least one or two dresses that you could wear to parties or on special occasions anytime.
Choose a cocktail dress and not just a classic one.
This one should be true to your size and should be an attention-grabber!
It could be a shiny or sparkling one with an ornamental neckline, or a dress with a
deep and plunging neckline to grab all eyeballs at the party!
If nothing else, remember the classic black LBD!
8.
Well-fitting undergarments.
For greater cover, wearing the right inner garments is necessary.
Buy the right size so that no part of your body bulges out from anywhere.
Invest on good quality under garments.
If you don't find the right size in stores, choose from online shopping sites.
9.
Shapewear is a mandate.
For plus sized women, body compressors or shapewears are like an answer to their prayers
of looking slimmer.
Shapewears will help to minimise the lumps and bumps in your body giving you a clean
chic look, and making that lovely dress of yours possible to wear.
Invest good money on buying the best quality shapewears.
There are many types of shapewears available in stores and online, choose the right fit
and type as per your need.
We are sure you cannot wait to add these to your closet.
Happy shopping!

Eyshe Efendi calls for release of Salih Muslim (Eng Sub) - Duration: 1:22.
After nearly two months if there are
states or people, who say that they love peace
or who say, that they are friends of the Kurds
or people, who say: we are a democratic country
and we will do something
this is not true! Nobody did anything!
They didn't do anything for the Kurds,
everyone closes their eyes,
everyone closes their ears.
We as different components who live in Rojava
especially I say it for Arabs
Maybe some people said lately
that Arabs would support the regime.
Some are afraid, that Arabs think like that.
I want to say: All components here are united!
We are one.
Whatever happens to Kurds, will also happen to Arabs.
And what happens to Arabs also will happen to Kurds.
This is why we as the coordination of Kobane,
now as Salih Muslim has been captured
say: Take responsibility for yourselves!
Take responsibility -
everyone who supports the people,
every family of the martyrs:
Take responsibility for yourselves.
And take responsibility for Salih Muslim!
