Personal branding photographer Anne Thomas had an epiphany some years ago. She realised her marketing was just noise and what she needed was a story. Now, she's as much a storyteller as a photographer and, in this episode, she explains what this means and how this approach can help you.We also feature a guest podcast - Storytelling with Puck by Stefano Capacchione.Andrew Thorp is a professional speaker, trainer and consultant in the field of verbal communication and storytelling in the business world.Track: Travel With Us — Vendredi [Audio Library Release] Music provided by Audio Library Plus Watch: https://youtu.be/o-rpKzt4KSY​ Free Download / Stream: https://alplus.io/travel-usPodcast artwork by Peter ThorpMicrophone image: Photo by Claus Grünstäudl on UnsplashBanner image in main feed: Photo by Claudio Schwarz | @purzlbaum on Unsplash

EMDR. It's become an insanely popular therapy over the last few years. Originally developed as a trauma recovery tool, EMDR is often touted as being appropriate or effective in many more clinical circumstances. But ... is it? Is EMDR an anxiety disorder recovery treatment? This week I'm joined by Florida therapist Anne Thomas to talk about EMDR, what it is, what it isn't, and how it might be applied in the context of panic disorder, agoraphobia, and other anxiety disorders. The takeaway here is that EMDR is not going to magically fix your anxiety problem simply by moving your eyes back and forth. There's still real-world work to do as usual. But there may be instances where EMDR can be useful in addressing some of the negative beliefs about yourself and about past events that can be real obstacles in recovery. Expectations and a clear sense of what EMDR can and can't do, are always going to be important as they would be with any type of therapy. In this episode we mentioned EMDRIA, which is the organization that trained Anne and trains other EMDR therapists. https://emdria.org To find Anne on Instagram: https://instagram.com/sitwithanne For full show notes on this episode: ⁠https://theanxioustruth.com/269 --- My books, social, and other links: ⁠⁠https://theanxioustruth.com/links ⁠⁠ Support The Anxious Truth: ⁠⁠https://theanxioustruth.com/support ⁠⁠

Auch lange glückliche Ehen bleiben gefährdet. Davon erzählt Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney in «Unter Freunden». Hochspannung bietet Colin Niel in seinem Krimi «Nur die Tiere». Und der neue «Historische Atlas der Schweiz» ist ein Fundus für Geschichtsinteressierte. Packender Lesestoff zum Jahresende. Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney zeige im Roman «Unter Freunden» einmal mehr ihre erzählerischen Qualitäten, findet Britta Spichiger am SRF1-Literaturstammtisch zum aktuellen Roman der US-Amerikanerin. Mit authentischen und überzeugenden Figuren schildere die Autorin wie auch ein noch so glücklich und stabil scheinendes Eheleben auf einen Schlag durcheinandergeraten könne. Eine durchwachte Nacht verbrachte Annette König mit dem Krimi «Nur die Tiere» des Franzosen Colin Niel. Der «Roman Noir» sei raffiniert konstruiert, bis zum Schluss packend und gebe darüber hinaus Einblick in prekäre soziale Milieus in der französischen Provinz. Wer Karten und Geschichte mag, sei mit dem «Historischen Atlas der Schweiz» von Marco Zanoli und François Walter bestens bedient, sagt Felix Münger. Das Buch habe das Zeug zum Standardwerk, um sich rasch und übersichtlich zur Schweizer Geschichte zu informieren. Buchhinweise: Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney. Unter Freunden.

In this replay episode of Pitstop, Anne Thomas talks about designing for a mobile website first. An expert designer of Shopify add-ons and template packs, Toronto based Anne Thomas knows that the mobile user experience is the frontline for the modern consumer. While you never know how customers will be looking at and engaging with your site, an increasing number of users are navigating online over their mobile devices, some doing all of their shopping from the palm of their hand. An optimized, easy to navigate and enjoyable user experience over their mobile device will drive both increased brand engagement and sales overall, and Anne has three important rules for any Shopify user to follow to get the most out of their site.   Not every smartphone or mobile device is equal. Some consumers will be using older devices, with slower processors or older operating systems. Some have larger screens than others, or details appear with less clarity. One easy trick Anne has for any mobile designer is to use the Chrome extension ‘Web Inspector', which allows you to preview your designs on a wide variety of device screen sizes. Be as careful optimizing your Shopify design packs and site features as you are optimizing to fit and function on mobile platforms. Some common and relied upon features, available across all mobile devices, may be limited un unavailable all together, such as pinch to zoom or swiping, depending on the template or design‘s programming. Always remember to test every aspect of your site, as you never know where an error may arise. Regularly inspect and analyze your mobile experience. Mobile device companies, operating systems programs, app developers and browser technicians are always at work updating their product for the next step in technological evolution, and no matter how adaptive your mobile design is, eventually a platform will be released that doesn't support it.

Lange habe ich keinen Krimi mehr gelesen. Diesen zunächst nur, weil ich mich aus persönlichen Gründen für das französische Zentralmassiv interessiere, jene von erloschenen Vulkanen durchzogene Gebirgsregion im Südosten Frankreichs, die zu den schönsten, aber auch den ärmsten und kulturell rückständigsten Gegenden des Landes gehört. Der in Frankreich recht bekannte, für seine „Romans noirs“ mehrfach preisgekrönte, heute in Marseille lebende Autor Colin Niel ist studierter Evolutionsbiologe, hat, bevor er mit der Schriftstellerei begann, als Agrar- und Forstingenieur im Bereich Biodiversität gearbeitet und einen Nationalpark in der Karibik geleitet. Niel kennt sich aus mit der Natur. Mit der tierischen wie mit der menschlichen. Sein Roman Seules les bêtes (deutsch: Nur die Tiere) aus dem Jahr 2017 ist mit zahlreichen Auszeichnungen und einer Verfilmung (2019, Regie: Dominik Moll) sein bisher erfolgreichstes Buch, das nun – in einer fast durchgehend überzeugenden deutschen Übersetzung von Anne Thomas – im Basler Lenos-Verlag erschienen ist … von Sabine Haupt

Shopify themes are more than just how a site looks, they're how a site feels, how a site acts, and how customers interact with your product and brand. They are your front line, your back bone, and whether using a free or premium Shopify theme, maintaining that front line in peak condition should be a priority for any store owner. One common but crucial mistake made by Shopify users is not updating their themes more often. While it can be a pain to have to constantly deal with, updating your Shopify theme is essential to keeping your store on the cutting edge and fully functional. There are many reasons why some store owners don't update their theme;  Presuming that updates are automatic Worrying that preferred features will be changed or removed Sheer forgetfulness or unawareness that themes can be updated to begin with. Without these necessary and often mandatory updates, not only are shop owners missing out on important fixes for any issues their chosen theme may have, they're also missing out on new features rolling out. While they're perfectly capable of doing business without these new options, they miss out on the extra resources and value the updates offer, often for professional themes that have been paid for that keep rolling out new and improved features.  Furthermore, services they subscribe to or buy from other sites may also become available through free updates, such as currency converters, which previously had to be purchased from a third party. Without updating their theme to include the conversion feature, site owners who rely on them are flushing money away needlessly. Along with fixes and new features are performance improvements, which will help keep your Shopify site's load time down to a minimum. Maintaining and up to date site, simply for the load time alone, can mean the difference between a sale and an abandoned cart with some customers, used to speedy service.

Owning and operating your own Shopify store can be both exciting and overwhelming for even the most seasoned business-minded seller, and there are many pitfalls to avoid while building and maintaining your shop. According to mobile UX design expert Anne Thomas, all too frequently a store owner will spend too much time, attention and overall resources on making sure their site looks fantastic over desktop, the most universal and frequently best looking medium for display, but won't consider how it may look, even at its best, on mobile.  What may look detailed and perfectly positioned, with fully functioning interactivity over a desktop browser may run into minor errors, or even total failure, when viewed over even the most up to date mobile device, for a variety of reasons, from simple issues such as screen size and shape to image processing capabilities and contrary interactive-touch functions. To avoid unexpected and often extensive, thus expensive, failure, always keep these helpful guidelines in mind. Never forget your scale. Text, images, or the dreaded perfect storm of text on images can look great at full size and fidelity, but mobile users, especially smartphone users, are engaging with your site on a screen that may be smaller, display measurement-wise, than the very image you designed. As such, that image, and more importantly the small print on the image, could be unreadable to most users, and lose all detail and resolution when pinched-zoomed in on. Make sure, if you must use a static image with text on it, that the text is clear enough to be read on even the smallest of contemporary screens. Never forget your alternative-viewing options. Not everyone “looks” at a site the same way. Some visually impaired customers may use screen readers, which would be equally unable to read any text that appears in an image, if there is not alt-text reposts of the same text coded into the image itself. What's more, text in images don't appear in or activate Google, or any competiting search engines optimization features, and will go completely unnoticed. If you are using static images with text, always reproduce the text as alt-text in the image's coding or placement description. Never forget built-in the limitations of SEO. Alt-text is great for getting keywords and terms into the coding of your site, but search engines won't prioritize alt-text into optimization. Unless you have at least the keywords of the text somewhere else prominently on the page, either as a title, in the item description, or as a subgrouping headline, it's likely to be missed entirly, no matter how well designed the image its included in may be, and regardless of the device it's viewed on. Always repeat your fundamental message and offer on the page itself, the higher on the page the more effective.

Anne Thomas ist Profi (bei der Gelegenheit: es gibt keine weibliche Form von Profi). Sie tritt selbst seit vielen Jahren als Sängerin auf und unterrichtet Gesang. Sie gibt uns kleine Hilfestellungen und Übungen. Wir lernen den Einatemreflex kennen und sprechen über das Zwerchfell. Außerdem beschäftigen wir uns mit der Maulfaulheit und finden den Sitz des Tons. Die Folge ersetzt keinen Gesangsunterricht. Wer aber die Übungen mitmacht wird feststellen, das sich sofort Verbesserungen einstellen. Damit ist die Folge auf jeden Fall eine Werbung für den Besuch von Gesangsunterricht.

Anne Thomas, Peters Gesangslehrerin, hatten wir eingeladen zu einer Folge über Gesang und Stimmbildung. Herausgekommen ist ein interessantes Gespräch zum Thema „Tanz“. Anne kennt Square Dance und hat gleich mal den Finger in die Wunde gelegt: wer ist eigentlich dafür verantwortlich, dass Square Dance auch aussieht, wie ein Tanz? Was tun wir Caller dafür und welchen Part übernehmen die Tänzer? Wie könnte es anders gehen? Welches Potenzial schlummert in einem Singing Call? Klar, dass bei diesem Thema die Meinungen weit auseinander gehen und deshalb freuen wir uns umso mehr, dass Anne den Mut hatte, uns direkt mit Ihren persönlichen Eindrücken zu konfrontieren. Diese Folge spricht alle an, Caller und Tänzer!

Summary of today's show: Scot Landry is coming to you LIVE from Rome today and in addition to an exclusive interview with Cardinal Seán O'Malley, he's joined by Gregory Tracy, Fr. Jonathan Gaspar, and George Martell to discuss the latest news of the College of Cardinals and preparations for the upcoming papal conclave, including the reports from that cardinals that they're spending their time getting to know one another so that when they enter the conclave, they'll know who they want to vote for to become the next Pope. Listen to the show: Watch the show via live video streaming or a recording later: Today's host(s): Scot Landry Today's guest(s): Gregory Tracy, managing editor of The Pilot newspaper, Fr. Jonathan Gaspar, priest-secretary to Cardinal Seán, and George Martell of Pilot New Media Links from today's show: Today's topics: LIVE from Rome 1st segment: Scot Landry welcomed everyone to the show and noted they arrived at 7:30am getting almost no sleep on their flight overnight from Boston to Rome. Greg Tracy noted how little sleep he's gotten over the past week in Rome. Scot said today the College of Cardinals met this morning in their general congregation and they're still waiting for a few more cardinals to arrive before they set a date for the conclave. Scot was able to talk to Cardinal Seán in the afternoon after a press conference at the Pontifical North American College. Cardinal Seán talked about being able to say goodbye to Pope Benedict and then taking part in the General Congregations to hear from cardinals around the world on the needs of the Church and the task at hand. Cardinal Seán talked about how he's preparing for his vote by researching other cardinals. The talks this week are a good opportunity to meet with them and get to know them, especially those he doesn't know personally. He does have firsthand knowledge of many of them. Scot asked Cardinal Seán how he deals with the buzz about him as a possible Pope. He said he thinks part of it is the great affection the Italians have for the Capuchin order. HE also asked the whole Church to be united in prayer for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit to identify who God wants. He noted that past 150 years we've been blessed with wise, holy popes to serve the Church. Cardinal Seán said he's been sticking to his Lenten diet and said it's hard to get a bad meal in Rome. Back to the in-studio panel, Greg Tracy talked about how the Cardinal is using Google to do research on the other cardinals and how important it is to know every man in the conclave because any of them could be elected. Fr. Jonathan Gaspar said these days of the General Congregation are so important for this reason. Despite the eagerness to begin the conclave, there must be this time of discernment, a word which has come up very often lately. He said the Cardinal takes all his responsibilities seriously, but in the last few weeks, he has been even more serious about this responsibility. It's the most important thing a cardinal does in the life of the Church. Greg noted how the cardinals have talked about the importance of the coffee hours in the General Congregations where they have a moment to mingle amongst themselves and chat informally. Scot said it's daunting to believe that the cardinals will be making a vote because of a conversation over coffee. George Martell talked about the Cardinal's status as a dark horse, but how much he would be a great pope. 2nd segment: Scot said Fr. Federico Lombardi, spokesman for the Vatican, announced today that five more cardinal-electors arrived in Rome today and took their oaths of secrecy and they're waiting for three more. The cardinals are giving speeches representing all the different regions of the world, and various other topics of concern. They discussed the motu proprio for setting the date of the conclave, but did not set one. They also sent a telegram to Benedict XVI thanking him for his service. Tomorrow night, the cardinals will gather in St. Peter's Basilica for a special public prayer service. Fr. Gaspar said it's a great opportunity for Catholics throughout the world to join in prayer and be reminded that this is a time of spiritual renewal of the Church. The cardinals are telling us that they need our prayers. Greg said it is surprising that these other cardinals are not in Rome and that's been a common question from the media. Cardinal DiNardo speculated that they had unbreakable commitments in their diocese. Others say it's not so easy coming from some of these countries. Still others say they may be trying to delay the conclave to the traditional 15-day waiting period. It could also be that it had been unclear until very recently even when the General Congregations would begin. Scot said we're all anxious to know who the next Holy Father is going to be, but Cardinal Seán says that it's wonderful to have these times of the General Congregations so when the conclave begins they will be able to make their votes right away and it won't take very long. Fr. Gaspar said Rome wasn't built in a day. They're not just selecting a Prefect of the Papal Household. They're electing a pope, which is an awesome experience. He said as Americans we're very impatient, but this process has taken place for centuries and we should be slow in deliberations and quick in decision-making.Greg said they don't want to go into the conclave ill-prepared or the conclave could drag on. Scot said the consequence of that might be the appearance of a very divided Church. Scot said the questions he's been asked all day is when the conclave will start, who does he think will get elected, and does Cardinal Seán have a shot? Next, Scot played Cardinal Seán's opening statement from a press conference this afternoon at the Pontifical North American College. Cardinal Seán recounted the events of Monday in the General Congregations and described how they heard from the cardinals who won't be entering the conclave. Then he described their activities today. Scot said he counted 22 TV cameras and more than 100 media personnel in the press conference. Fr. Gaspar said it's fascinating that what the cardinals are saying hasn't changed all that much and yet there's all these people waiting to hear what two cardinals sworn to secrecy had to say about a meeting they can't say anything about. For those who say the Church has nothing to say to the modern world, it seems that people are interested in what the Church has to say. Fr. Gaspar said he's heard from a number of non-American journalists how refreshing it is to hear directly from American cardinals, which no other bishops' conference around the world is doing. Greg said it is true that the entire world's attention is focused on Rome and you don't see this with any other religion. Whether or not you entirely follow your faith or even if you're not Catholic, somehow the Church provides a moral compass and the world is looking for this compass. It doesn't mean they will follow it, but they could be comforted knowing that there is someone with moral certitude and moral courage. The first question in the press conference came from Ann Rodgers of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. She asked what form the conversations of the General Congregations took. Cardinal Seán said today it took the form of some interventions from various cardinals. The next question came from the Associated Press who asked about some back and forth between the cardinals and members of the curia and what they thought on the reported dysfunction in the curia. Cardinal Seán said they are interested in the functioning of the bureaucracy of the Holy See. He said he's not sure who important all that is for the working of the conclave. Scot asked Fr. Gaspar how the cardinals will prioritize among the three principal duties of the Pope: the teaching, the sanctifying, or the governing mission. He said it's widely held that the Vatican needs stronger guidance. Fr. Gaspar said he doesn't think that will be highest priority as that responsibility is often handed over to those who assist the Pope. He said the cardinals are probably talking about this issue among themselves and we probably can expect changes in the hierarchy in the future. Benedict XVI was a wonderful teacher and he thinks that the cardinals will want to continue emphasizing that teaching. Scot said he hopes the cardinals continue to prioritize as they did in the last two conclaves: Someone who can communicate Christ's teaching and all the improvements we want to make personally and collectively as a Church. Greg said in the press conferences they are asked over and over whether they want to see the report produced on the dysfunction in the curia. The cardinals keep responding that they will learn everything they need to know in the General Congregations. The report itself will be presented to the new Holy Father. The next question comes from Jason Horowitz of the Washington Post, who asked if the timing will affect who gets elected. Cardinal Seán responded that the big concern is that the cardinal-electors want to have a good idea of who they want to vote for going into the conclave and so they want to have the preparation done beforehand. Fr. Jonathan said if the cardinals rush this, they will lose the opportunity to discern how the Holy Spirit is leading the Church today. The next question is from Associated Press's Anne Thomas. She wondered if Pope Benedict's presence will have an indirect influence on the conclave and whether Cardinal Seán would wear brown robes if elected pope. Cardinal Seán said he presumes he will wear his robes until the day he dies because he doesn't expect to be elected. Scot said the whole world knows Cardinal Seán is a contender for the papacy. He said they went for a coffee with the cardinal after the news conference and they had a number of people who came up to him and recognized him and the proprietor of the shop gave them the local's rate for their coffee, as opposed to the tourist rate. Scot said a lot of people recognize Cardinal Seán as distinctive among the cardinals for his clothes. Greg said the people of Boston were also taken aback by the cardinal when he arrived there for eschewing the formal dress. Other Capuchin bishops don't continue to wear the robes, but for Cardinal Seán he wants to stay close to his roots. Scot said he refers to the cardinal's robes as his second skin. 3rd segment: Scot looked forward to the rest of the week in which he will be interviewing locals from across the Station of the Cross' network. George Martell added that he is taking photos during their days and uploading them automatically to . They will also be posting videos up . Greg Tracy will be writing a blog post on The Good Catholic Life website and another on . He said the big upcoming event will be that prayer service with the cardinals in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Scot said it was reported today that more than 5,000 journalists have been accredited already. Fr. Jonathan said he doesn't know what the schedule holds for him in assisting the cardinal. He said there's been lots of gathering throughout the city outside the General Congregations in language groups and other groups to continue informally the conversations they have during the day. Scot said anyone who wants their prayer requests brought before the bones of St. Peter can send them to . He recounted some of his plans to interview other pilgrims tomorrow and he will be taking over the blogging mantle from Greg.
