MIAMI GARDENS , FLA. — Dolphins Enterprises CEO Joe Bailey has announced a partnership with Kohler Co. extending through the 2007 season.
As part of Dolphin Stadium’s $300 million renovations, Kohler will introduce its bath products during the 2007 Miami Dolphins season offering guests an experience in luxury. The all-new Club Level restrooms at Dolphin Stadium will feature Kohler fixtures and faucets with the “Kohler Fan Experience,” the first alltouchless luxury restrooms in a sports and entertainment complex.
The bathroom renovations were part of an approximately 350,000-sq.ft. addition of new space, said John Dodd, J. Dodd Plumbing Inc., Deerfield Beach, Fla. Most of the addition was on the 200 and 300 level club seating and box seats that run from the 50-yard line toward the end zones, Dodd said. Plans are in the works to refurbish and add on to the end zone amenities, he said.
Dodd’s scope of work included new bathrooms, eight commercial ki tchens and 12 concession stands. In the kitchens, Dodd installed gas appliances, 12 grease traps, numerous three-compartment sinks, hand sinks and floor sinks. He installed floor sinks in the concession stands and tied into the owner-supplied water supply piping. All of the drainage in the facility is gravity drain.
Dolphin Stadium’s partnership with Kohler includes products for its club level bathrooms that aim to create a sensory experience for patrons and fans with no one bathroom being the same. As they enter the individually designed bathrooms, patrons are drawn to attractive bathroom sinks, consisting of unique shapes, colors, forms and materials, including brushed stainless steel, artistically etched glass and enameled cast iron in bright colors.
Dodd said he installed all Kohler battery-powered flush valves on the wall-hung toilets. The lavatories are all Kohler, but the stadium chose to highlight the Kohler products by mixing and matching products or colors. Lavatory faucets, for example, would all be the same per bathroom, Dodd noted, but they would use a different style of faucet in every bathroom.
The bathroom experience includes immersing fans with desirable scents, sounds from the game piped into the bathrooms, and a touchless experience. Kohler outfitted the bathrooms with touchless gooseneck faucets and flush toilets that use the company’s Tripoint technology.
Dolphin Stadium management wanted to ensure that careful attention was applied to selecting products that conserve water as well. Toward that end, Dolphin Stadium installed the Kohler Steward waterless urinals, recent recipients of a design award in a competition sponsored by BusinessWeek magazine and the Industrial Design Society of America, as well as faucets with low-flow aerators, and EPA WaterSense-listed toilets that flush 20% less than the 1.6-gpf federal mandate.
Among the sponsorship benefits Dolphin Stadium will provide Kohler include the “Kohler Finishing Touches” video on Dolphin Stadium’s video boards and the Miami Dolphins Website, as well as various hospitality opportunities.
Dolphin Stadium, located in Miami Gardens, Fla., is a world-class sports and entertainment facility that hosts a wide variety of events, including Miami Dolphins football, Florida Marlins baseball, the FedEx Orange Bowl (including the upcoming National Championship game in 2009) and the upcoming 2010 Super Bowl. The stadium has also been the home of two Major League Baseball World Series Games, four National Football League Super Bowls and numerous concerts. Dolphin Stadium boasts the largest high-definition video boards in professional sports and the world’s longest LED ribbon display. Owned by H. Wayne Huizenga, Dolphin Stadium is undergoing extensive renovations and improvements expected to be finished by 2009.

This afternoon, as four o'clock edged closer, things were slow in the office and I decided to see what was up with the babies.
I found them and the bo'me outside in the sun, on the swings behind the safe-home and playing by the slide. I pushed Selloane and Neo in the swings for a bit, and the afternoon felt unencumbered and light and happy. After a while they were out of the swings and looking for their next adventure. Soon it was a race between them, Karabo and Ntseliseng as all four decided it was their chance to explore the TTL grounds.
Along with a few of the bo'me, and later with Eric as well, the four girls and I ran around the property, laughing and playing. I caught them when they fell and cheered them on when they walked independently.
Not long ago, Karabo was only crawling. Ntseliseng was barely moving at all. Neo had a sort of bent over, all-fours walk she did, but that was about it.
Now Neo is taking off in quick strides, Ntseliseng has started taking steps all on her own, and Karabo isn't far behind. Their progress is amazing, and seeing it in full display made the afternoon that much more special.
Around 4:45 we called it an afternoon and brought everyone inside.
Minutes later, as often happens here, the struggles of the greater Mokhotlong world suddenly appeared at our doorstep once more, shattering the bubble of smiles.
One of our outreach teams arrived with an 11-month-old boy, Boraki, who only weighs 4.3 kg, or less than 10 pounds.
The last thing written in his Bukana is, "No food security at home. TTL please assist."
Boraki was exposed to HIV through his mother, but his tests haven't come back yet to tell us his status. He breastfed for seven days after birth, but then switched to a mixture of sour porridge, papa and formula from a rural clinic.
That pattern has done him no good. He's such a tiny little boy.
Along with the four older girls, he joins our other tiny two, Mpho and Nthabiseng, who have both lost a twin to death but who are fighting on themselves.
Here's hoping Boraki is lucky number seven.

This phenomenon or glitch in the matrix leaves the beholder thinking of a higher spirit or thinking of a past life. Deja Vu is a feeling of having experienced something in the past in spite of the experience being a new one. Some attribute it to disorders in brain while some link it with past life. On seeing something you had never seen before; have you felt you have seen it? Have you ever had the feeling of knowing something that is yet to happen? It was Deja Vu, and I’m not talking about the film with Denzel Washington, although, it is a classic.
What is Déjà vu? It is the phenomenon wherein one feels sure to have experienced a new situation previously. While facing an entirely new situation, one feels a familiarity with something experienced in the past. One feels to have been through the same thing in recent past or to have seen it in a dream. Emile Boirac, a French researcher in psychology, coined the term, ‘Deja Vu’.
The brain is a highly complex organ that is able to derive associations between different situations. The brain often tries to experimentally reproduce a situation that it has never faced before. Thus one’s own anticipation of a certain incident may make the person think he/she has already encountered a similar experience in the past.
Believe it or not, there are three different types of Deja Vu. Deja Senti refers to something ‘already felt’. It is a mental phenomenon and researchers believe that something felt in the past is very similar to that felt in the present. This similarity in the two experiences makes a person feel that he/she has felt the same way in the past.
Deja Vecu is the feeling that everything that is happening currently is identical to what had happened before and a strange idea about what is going to happen next. A person experiencing a Deja Vecu feeling claims to know what is going to happen in near future and often feels to have remembered it.
Researchers have long sought the reasons behind the Deja Vu. However, the researchers have discovered that Deja Vu can be the result of the mal-functioning of the electrical system of the brain. Now, some believe that there has to be a scientific reason for the brain to trick itself into thinking or believing it’s been here before. However, some believe that Deja Vu is a psychic ability that we humans possess. While some people, including me, believe that Deja Vu is the ability to see our past lives in our current selves. | This phenomenon or glitch in the matrix leaves the beholder thinking of a higher spirit or thinking of a past life .

Scott Raymond Dozier, 48, was found unresponsive in his solo death-row cell at the state's maximum-security prison in Ely, Nevada. The Duchess of Sussex could return to American TV drama Suits for one last episode, a NBC production source has said. The role could show the Duchess pregnant as her character Rachel Zane. The transition to new fifth-generation cellular networks, known as 5G, will affect how you use smartphones and many other devices. Lets talk about the essentials. The Duchess of Cambridge arrived at church in Sandringham on Sunday alongside the Duke of Cambridge wearing the dusky blue coat that she was last spotted wearing during a visit to Norway in February last year.
John McDonnell, the man who would be Britain's finance minister if the opposition Labour Party was in power, speaks about Brexit, party policy and what the future would like if they had parliamentary majority. Under-pressure boss Niko Kovac has sought solace in the Qatar heat and taken his players over to work on their fitness ahead of their return to Bundesliga action later this month. In cognitive rehabilitation, therapists train patients in simple tasks that can make daily life much easier.
Traded to Oakland last summer, Familia is coming right back to Queens for the 2019 season. Another top reliever, Bostons Joe Kelly, is going to the Dodgers. Our top photos from the last 24 hours.
The side of the moon we never see from Earth contains secrets about our solar systems early days, and it could help astronomers see the universe more clearly. The Yankees need a shortstop to replace the injured Didi Gregorius for several months, and Tulowitzki needs a place to resurrect his career. | Scott Raymond Dozier , 48 , was found unresponsive in his solo death - row cell at the state 's maximum - security prison in Ely , Nevada .

However, the more that you complete before our initial visit, the more time we get to spend face-to-face looking at each other and talking, rather than looking at paperwork!
If you could print out these initial intake forms (and additional forms for minors if the main person being seen is under 18 years old), and have them filled out prior to our first session, it will help us to focus more on your personal story. We will still have to go over some pieces of information in these forms, however the process will go much more smooth.
If you have any questions about anything in the paperwork, please just leave it blank, and be sure to ask about it when we first meet.

Unfortunately no places for any UK cities but Europe (5) tops the continents followed by Asia (3) and the Americas (2) according to UBM’s Future Cities recent analysis.
Availability of citywide WiFi, preferably free and fast.
South Korea / Seoul per Akmai (in quarter 1 this year) have the highest average Internet connection speed at 14.2 Mbps.. The UK are in joint tenth place we reckon at 7.9 Mbps along with Austria. They list a total of 55 countries with only Japan (11.7Mbps), Hong Kong (10.9), and Switzerland (10.1) joining Austria in double digit performance. At the other end of the scale we reckon there are 8 countries below 2Mbps including China (1.7), India (1.3), Syria (1.9) and Egypt (1.1).
We are marginally surprised that London didn’t figure in the top 10 as in particular we would have expected it to score highly on the Openness to innovation front – maybe next year! | Unfortunately no places for any UK cities but Europe ( 5 ) tops the continents followed by Asia ( 3 ) and the Americas ( 2 ) according to UBM ’s Future Cities recent analysis .

Today’s message from John 14:15-24 is now on the web. You can listen to the audio here.
Are you hearing the word of God and keeping it? Where must you repent today? Understand this. If you are blatantly and wantonly disregarding some command of Jesus that you know He requires of your in your ethics of life, you have no reason to be assured of a saving knowledge of Him. What idolatry or disobedience must you bring to the cross for pardon and plead to Jesus for gospel power based on your true identity as a beloved son or daughter of God. Don’t delay. Do business with God now. That is evidence of true saving faith for sure, no matter how many times you must do so.

The sacrament of Baptism is a very important event in the life of your child. Through Baptism, your child will receive God’s sanctifying grace for the first time, and become a member of the Body of Christ through membership in the Catholic Church. We are delighted to welcome your child as one of the newest members of our parish as well!
St. James prides itself on being a warm and caring parish community. We hope that the time you spend in preparing for your child’s baptism will be a unique opportunity for you to deepen your participation in the life of our parish. Each Sunday we gather for Mass to celebrate who we are as God’s people. Together we reflect on God’s Holy Word and are nourished by the Eucharist (Holy Communion), which is the source and summit of our life.
We would like the opportunity to meet you before the Baptism of your child. Several couples meet with parents on weekday evenings at either 7:00 PM or 7:30 PM in the Parish Center. They are looking forward to your visit. At that meeting they will review the form you filled out on-line or when you came to the Parish Office inquiring about having your child baptized. Both the date you will attend the Baptismal Class (see BAPTISMAL CLASS below), and the date for your child’s baptism will be scheduled if everything is in order when you meet.
Please let us know on which day of the week, and at which time, would be best for both you and your spouse to come to the parish center to meet with one of these couples (please fill out on the baptismal form above.
When you meet with the parish couple they will give you a special packet which includes a guide to the sacraments, a listing of the various ministries and organizations associated with our parish, a booklet on the Sacrament of Penance (Confession), and information regarding programs here at St. James for young mothers and their children.
If you are unable to attend one of our parish sessions, you may complete a baptismal preparation instruction at another parish. Please make sure that the other parish gives you a letter of completion which you may drop off at the parish center.
Each Sunday we have a Family Mass at 9:30 AM, which is geared towards families with younger children. At the Family Mass you are likely to meet some of your neighbors and friends gathered with their children as well.
The priests and staff of St. James Parish are pleased to be here to serve you and your family. We are sure that you will enjoy “belonging more deeply” to our parish family. We look forward to many happy years together. | The sacrament of Baptism is a very important event in the life of your child .

Kati Bihu is Coming on 20 October2013.
Kati or Kongali Bihu (mid-October, also called Kati-Bihu) has a different flavour as there is less merriment and the atmosphere has a sense of constrain and solemnity. People worship the deities for a rich harvest; it is dedicated to the worship ofGoddess Lakshmi who is the dispenser of wealth to mortals. Kati Bihu marks the completion of sowing and transplanting of paddies. In the evenings, offerings are made to the 'Tulsi' plant. Little earthen lamps ('Diyas') are lighted at its feet and puja's are offered to God for improved yield of crops. The significance of this Bihu is more in the villages, where farmers go to their respective fields and light "Akash-Banti" or 'sky-lamp. Sacred to the Hindus, the tulsi (basil) tree is planted or pruned in the courtyard of each household and for the whole Assamese month of Kati, people worship the Tulsi plant with an earthen lamp.
Rongaali Bihu’, the most important Bihu of all the three, is celebrated in the month of Bohaag (middle of April), the first month of the Assamese calendar and thus marks the advent of the Assamese New Year. This Bihu is also known as Rongaali ( ‘Rong’ denoting joy in Assamese) Bihu due to the merriment that predominates the celebrations. This festival also coincides with the advent of the spring season in the state. Bihu Dance and Bihu Songs are the main features of this Bihu. Bohaag Bihu is celebrated over a period of several days. The first day of the Bihu is known as ‘Goru Bihu’ on which day the cows and bulls are given a ritual bath with ‘halodhi’, ‘maah’ with the accompanying song "Lao Kha, Bengena Kha, Bochore Bochore Badhi Ja".
It's a time of merriment and feasting and continues, in general, for seven days. The first day of the Bihu is called Goru Bihu or Cow Bihu, where the cows are washed and worshipped, which falls on the last day of theprevious year, usually on April 14. This is followed by Manuh (human) Bihu on April 15, the New Year Day. This is the day of getting cleaned up, wearing new cloths and celebrating and getting ready for the New Year with fresh vigor.
The New Year day, the day after the Goru Bihu, is called the Manuh Bihu. With gifts of Bihuwan (a gamosa), which is traditional Assamese piece of cloth, are gifted to elders a mark of respect. Children are also given new clothes, and Husori singing begins on this day, and people visit their relatives and friend. Village elders move from household to households singing carols, also in the style of Bihu geets, called Husoris. Different Bihu pandals also organize cultural functions, which goes on for four-five days. | Kati Bihu is Coming on 20 October2013 .

What is an itinerant in terms of flight crew taxes and M&IE?
What is an itinerant with regard to pilot or flight attendant tax deductions?
Itinerant is a term that is used in IRS Publication 463 in reference to a taxpayer's tax home. With regard to flight crewmembers, airline pilots and flight attendants that do not have a regular place of business (domicile) or post of duty could be considered an itinerant (a transient).
Why is bad for flight attendants or pilots to be defined as itinerants?
Why? Because, an itinerant's tax home is wherever the airline pilot or flight attendant is at any given time. As an itinerant, a flight crewmember cannot claim a travel expense deduction because the crewmember is never considered to be traveling away from their tax home. It is as if the flight crewmember's tax home follows wherever the crewmember goes.

Things like her hobbies , interests , likes , color preferences , food preferences , etc are all excellent ways to find terrific gifts for her that she wo n’t have to pretend to like , she will sincerely like them .
Give yourself the time to find something terrific for your mom . Waiting until the last minute is a guarantee that you will just be grabbing the first thing you can find rather than finding something that she will really use a lot and love receiving .
Have fun searching for gifts that she will love and enjoy . Gift buying should n’t be a bother or frustrating . When you consider the tips we ’ve listed here , you will find that shopping feels relaxing and enjoyable and not stressful and worrisome .
Take advantage of the fact that moms usually will love anything their kids give them simply because they are her kids . When a child is little , dad can play an instrumental part in teaching their children how to shop in a way that ensures enjoyment on the part of the shopper and the receiver .
Give gifts that have to do with medical issues . Giving her a special walker if she uses one , or something of that nature can be helpful but is n’t much in the way of a real gift . Save medical items and health related stuff for NON gift giving occasions . Look for gifts that give her something to be excited and happy about .
Choosing that perfect gift that makes someone smile and be very happy is a great feeling . By following the tips and points above , you will not have the trouble finding the right gifts the way some people have because they are not focused on the person they are purchasing a gift for . When you sincerely take the time to pay attention to what mom really loves and you choose her gifts from things that represent those likes and interests , she is sure to love that gift . | 2,059 | 155 |

Parental Removal of a Child from the U.S. | James S. Cunha, P.A.
Parental Removal of a Child from the U.S.
Because of the ease of international travel and communications, the world is shrinking, which has facilitated a growing number of marriages between marital partners from different countries. When you are married to a partner who is the citizen of another country, the divorce process can be extremely complicated if you have children. Sometimes the other parent who is from another country will desire to leave the U.S. with the minor children.
While this issue can be litigated in a Florida family law court based on the best interest of the child standard, the situation becomes complicated when the parent who is a citizen of a foreign country decides to use self-help and simply leaves the U.S. The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspect of International Child Abduction (hereinafter “The Hague Convention”) is designed to provide a remedy when parents employ this form of self-help.
The Hague Convention is a multilateral treaty designed to provide the means by which a parent can have a child returned to the child’s country of “habitual residence” from another country that is a member of the convention. The convention requires that a child be returned to the nation where the child primarily resided before a parent or other party removed the child to another country. The term is not specifically defined in the treaty but is intended to be applied broadly toward the goal of the convention which is to deter unilateral action by a parent to remove a child from the primary country in which the child resides. When determining the child’s primary residence the court will look to a variety of facts, including historical location the child has resided, the living situation of the family prior to the dispute, intention of the parties and other relevant facts.
The function of a court in which a Hague Convention case is filed is not to determine custody or other substantive rights but to designate the country where the courts have jurisdiction to make the determination on the merits of custody issues. The Hague Convention determination dictates that the child is returned to the nation of his or her primary residence rather than to the parent who was left behind.
Hague convention cases are among the most complex child custody cases so it is essential to work with an experienced Florida child custody attorney. These cases involve special rules of procedure and evidence as part of The Hague Convention determination and subsequent proceedings in a Florida court once the child has been returned to the U.S. If your child has been unilaterally removed by a parent to a non-Hague Convention country, the situation can be far more challenging.
If you are involved in a parenting plan or timeshare dispute as part of a divorce or paternity case in a Florida court where you have concerns that other parent may remove the child from the country, you should notify your Florida divorce attorney immediately. An experienced West Palm Beach parenting plan attorney may be able to ask that your child’s passport be relinquished from the other parent to substantially reduce the risk that your child will end up overseas with the other parent.

This is a different type of painting for me. I typically have not painted subjects in the fantasy genre. However my son and I both are fans of Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit, and he wanted a painting of Hobbiton. As it turned out this was a fun painting to create.

Whether you’re replacing old or installing a new heating system, you’ve got big decisions to make. Start with a call to Crossville Heating and Cooling, and every step that follows will be handled perfectly. Our experience, training, and dedication, combined with superior products, adds up to your lasting satisfaction. Crossville Heating and Cooling is a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer, a distinction earned through rigid service requirements, and our NATE-certified technicians specialize in the leading options in residential and commercial heating. A range of state-of-the-art furnaces and heat pumps trim operational costs while opening up unprecedented control over your indoor environment, including such features as WiFi access, adaptable-speed technology, and zoned control. As a five time winner of the Carrier Presidents Award, Crossville Heating and Cooling continues to demonstrate the expertise, commitment, and conscientious service that ensures greater return from your investment.
At Crossville Heating and Cooling, we recognize the importance of sizing and installing equipment properly. An oversized system costs more to purchase, install, and operate. It will start and stop more frequently, putting needless wear and tear on components, requiring more energy, and causing uncomfortable temperature fluctuations. Undersized units will fail to meet demand, despite running constantly. To accurately determine sizing requires more than a tape measure. And simply swapping old equipment for new fails to take into account energy saving steps taken over the years. Performing manual “J” load calculations during the design phase of your project, Crossville Heating and Cooling custom creates a heating system that is perfect for your exact needs.
Call Crossville Heating and Cooling for a heating installation you can trust!
We take into consideration your expectations and concerns for cost, capacity, and features, and answer with state-of-the-art conveniences, reliability, and perfect comfort. Call on us for prompt scheduling, quick turnaround, and rewarding heating installation across Crossville, TN & Surrounding Areas. We live here. We work here.

Defining what it means to be beautiful on your own terms goes hand-in-hand with how you do it. Ultherapy®, a skin lifting procedure that lets you enhance your features as you choose, is US FDA-cleared for use above the brows, under the chin, on the neck and décolletage to stimulate collagen growth through micro-focused ultrasound. It’s earned rave reviews around the world, from top beauty publications to high-profile celebrities swearing by it. It’s been dubbed ‘the lunchtime lift’, due to the 90-minute (or less) length of the procedure, which lets you jump right back into your daily activities—and can last up to a whole year.
However, the treatment’s success has led to high-frequency ultrasound (HIFU) treatments to claim that they employ the same technology at lower prices, while using completely different devices. Some even try to pass their devices off as Ultherapy® machines, which could lead to drastic results for patients.
Award-winning aesthetic physician Dr. Ting Song Lim, who has worked at various hospitals and clinics around the world, from Malaysia to Japan to the USA, shares why it’s important to make sure you’re getting your Ultherapy® treatment the authentic way.
Because of its micro-focused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) technology, Ultherapy® is precise in both the visualization it allows of the skin’s inner layers, as well as in the amount of ultrasound energy needed for the procedure. Unlike HIFU treatments, it can accurately distinguish between the different depths of skin that need to be targeted for lifting, such as 3.0 mm beneath the surface of the skin, just above the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) that holds the various layers together, and even as deep as 4.5 mm beneath the surface and onto the skin’s foundational layer. Lasers and radiofrequency machines, however, only target up to the dermis or 3.0 mm beneath the skin’s surface, making them less effective.
Counterfeit Ultherapy® machines, however, don’t have the same level of precision as the authentic device. Most of the time, these devices don’t give enough energy to create an effect at best, and at worst, can cause severe damage to the face.
Aside from having authentic devices, Ultherapy® also pushes patients to seek out accredited partner clinics. Much effort goes into training doctors in carrying out the procedure to ensure that those interested in Ultherapy® receive proper treatment. | Defining what it means to be beautiful on your own terms goes hand - in - hand with how you do it .

Nick Emanuel, fourth-generation farmer, North Bend, Neb.
Spread across his 2,000-acre farm in North Bend, Neb., Nick Emanuel is field testing roughly 500 acres of corn planted from seeds coated with powerful microbes.
Last year, for one of the microbetreated plots, that difference meant yields ten bushels better than the control plot. And, after a devastating wind storm late last season, the only rows left standing were the test corn.
The BioAg Alliance is a partnership between Novozymes, a world leader in bioinnovation with roots dating back to the 1920s, and ag biotech leader Monsanto.
They hoped, somehow, to understand how microbes — those microorganisms that do everything from breaking down organic matter to creating fermentation — affect agriculture, and then to harness and apply that knowledge.
Here’s one issue: An estimated 60 million microbes live on each square inch of the above-ground plants. Each spoonful of soil contains another 50 billion microbes (and 10,000 species), give or take.
Microbes — especially these interconnected collections of fungi and bacteria that thrive in the soil — can be incredibly beneficial to agriculture. They can help plants soak up nutrients and minerals, strengthen and lengthen root systems, and deal with environmental stress.
Certain microbes can bolster immunity against diseases and repel pests.
Those traits, when enhanced in plants through naturally occurring microbes, can raise yields, lessen fertilizer usage, increase resiliency to things like wind and flood and drought, and decrease the need for pesticides.
So, beginning in 2014, the BioAg Alliance started collecting soil samples, isolating and testing microbes, and ramping up small-scale fermentation to cultivate the good microbes in a process similar to fermenting beer. Now working as a partnership, they conducted the first-ever large-scale testing of microbe-coated seeds and analyzed those results. Then they did it all over again. And again.
Nebraska farmer Nick Emanuel shows the impact of biological products on corn roots.
By 2015, the Alliance was testing more than 2,000 microbial strains across 500,000 field trial plots in more than 50 locations in the United States.
By 2017, the Alliance partners had released their first jointly developed commercial product, Acceleron B-300 SAT, which activates microbes to strengthen root systems and increase nutrient access. Another new product, Acceleron B-360 ST, is slated for release in 2019.
Today, just five years since first forming that partnership, BioAg Alliance products are used on more than 80 million acres of farmland in North and South America.
Emanuel says plot trials have shown a corn crop production increase of six bushels per acre (from 185.4 to 191.7), all while reducing fertilizer costs. The BioAg Alliance stresses that, like any agriculture input, results can vary based upon an individual farm’s factors including rainfall, soil type, etc.
The BioAg Alliance predicts that, by 2025, their products will be used on between 250 million and 500 million acres around the world, equivalent to 25 percent to 50 percent of all U.S. farmland.
In an era in which ag advances — like genetically modified seeds — have sometimes been met with public pushback, it’s hard not to argue the big-picture positives of microbial research.
Just five years into the BioAg Alliance, the group has shown that this research can lead to higher yields while using less fertilizer, fewer pesticides and less water, all while producing less carbon dioxide. | Nick Emanuel , fourth - generation farmer , North Bend , Neb.

It’s a week of big number ones, with the continuing saga of the B.P.R.D. post-Hellboy and the beginning of a new time period in the Star Wars universe.
B.P.R.D.: The Long Death #1 begins a new adventure for Johann Krauss (in his brand-new, action-figure-ready suit) and the rest of the B.P.R.D., investigating some scary monsters in a cold climate. It’s a fun jumping-on point with a deeper horror vibe than some of the previous stories.
Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi #1 has a lot of world-building to do and does it with a lot of text narration. I think this could have been handled a little more smoothly, but the world set up is interesting with a conflict (and cool villains) I’m interested to see more of.
Those are the two releases this week from Dark Horse, but they’re biggies. Make sure to check them out at your local comic shop or at Dark Horse Digital.
Thanks to Aub Driver and the fine folks at Dark Horse Comics!

Abstract This paper seeks to enhance our understanding of resilience processes, activities, and outcomes by examining initiatives to enhance resilience capacity that are designed and implemented by nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). The paper begins with a review of the evolution in thinking about the concept of resilience that has occurred over the past five years. This is followed by a review of the wide range of strategies and interventions employed by NGOs to build resilience capacity. The paper then presents several case studies that highlight NGO efforts to enhance resilience either by focusing on a specific vulnerable population and shock or by integrating, sequencing, and layering activities to support and protect core programming goals (for example, food and nutrition security, poverty reduction) while contributing overall to enhanced resilience capacity. Finally, the paper reviews measurement issues related to resilience, the challenges encountered by NGOs, and lessons learned. The paper concludes with a number of recommendations for improving NGO resilience programming. | Abstract This paper seeks to enhance our understanding of resilience processes , activities , and outcomes by examining initiatives to enhance resilience capacity that are designed and implemented by nongovernmental organizations ( NGOs ) .

Partial factors are commonly based on expert judgements and on calibration to previous design formats. This inevitably results in unbalanced structural reliability for different types of construction materials, loads and limit states. Probabilistic calibration makes it possible to account for plentiful requirements on structural performance, environmental conditions, production and execution quality etc. In the light of ongoing revisions of Eurocodes and the development of National Annexes, the study overviews the methodology of probabilistic calibration, provides input data for models of basic variables and illustrates the application by a case study. It appears that the partial factors recommended in the current standards provide for a lower reliability level than that indicated in EN 1990. Different values should be considered for the partial factors for imposed, wind and snow loads, appreciating the distinct nature of uncertainties in their load effects. | Partial factors are commonly based on expert judgements and on calibration to previous design formats .

Up and back day hike. Approx 2,500 feet of vertical climb. From Crane Pond up and back approx 5.2 miles. Seasonally the service road from Crane Pond parking area is closed. If so it will add 3.5 miles of relatively flat hiking.
A great Adirondack fall hike near Schroon Lake, NewYork, especially for those contemplating starting the 46 high peaks. This is comparable to hiking Cascade and Porter mountains. There is a beautiful panoramic view from the summit on clear days.
It has the added benefit of giving us the chance to visit Crane Pond on the way in.
This outing brings the option of spending the night at the Arrowwood Lodge with dinner and breakfast for an additional fee.

At the recent QS1000 Ron Jon Vans Pro in Cocoa Beach, Fla., two Encinitas natives, Taylor Clark and Jake Marshall squared off in the Final. It was a dream come true for 20-year-old Clark, who came away with his first QS victory thanks to a buzzer-beater score. Marshall, showing pure class, was right there to congratulate his buddy on shore. For Clark, the victory is a crucial first step toward his larger QS goals. The former US Champ and NSSA Men's National champion has already advanced to Round Four at the QS3000 Martinique Pro next. We caught up with him before the event.
WSL: How has the win in Cocoa helped your thought process as you prepare for Martnique?
TC: It really helped, and I competed in Martinique last year so it's good going into it knowing the wave at Basse Pointe. I've also ordered some new boards I think will work really well down there.
WSL: What's it been like trying to find your feet at the pro level after your successful amateur career?
TC: After my wins in the US Champs and NSSA National Open Men's division I threw myself straight into the QS, and as everyone knows it's very challenging. Conditions are challenging and the competition level is amazing - It is very humbling. In the past six to eight months I've really been focusing hard on surfing in challenging, small, imperfect conditions. I'm continuing to work on this and as I do I feel like my confidence level is rising. The win at the Ron Jon in Florida really helped. Also the support I receive from my sponsors really means alot to me.
I think my first year or so of kinda struggling made me want it more. I'm continuing to work on this and as I do I feel like my confidence level is rising.
WSL: Now you've got a taste for victory, what are some goals you've made for this year and moving forward?
TC: This year my goal is to be in the QS 10,000's for the back half of the year and be able to compete in the Triple Crown. My ultimate career goal is definitely to qualify for the World Tour.
WSL: Who are some people you travel with and what does it do for your surfing?
TC: No matter what I'm always traveling with my brother - he helps bring stability. He makes it so I really only have to focus on surfing. Having him there I don't need to worry about flights, hotels, and rental cars. He also films all my free surfs for videos and to see where I may need improvement in my surfing. It's really nice to have him in my corner. Kevin Schulz (USA) is starting to come on more trips and I've also traveled with Josh Moniz (HAW) some places as well. They have always been really good friends of mine. We always get along great and it's nice to have people traveling with you that have the same goals.
WSL: What's something you do when you're not traveling or competing and have some time to yourself?
TC: I'm gone so much that between contests its fun to hang out with my family. I golf with my dad, and just try to surf as much as I can. I love golfing though. In Hawaii this winter on the flat days, Griffin Colapinto (USA), Josh and Seth Moniz (HAW) , Leo Fioravanti (ITA), [Colt Ward]) (USA) and I would always go golf.
The men got back in the water to finish their Round 2 bouts before the women got their inaugural Pismo Beach Open underway.
Another big day of competition in the archives, men's Round 3 witnessed more excellent scores and a massive early exit.

In the past six to eight months I 've really been focusing hard on surfing in challenging , small , imperfect conditions . I 'm continuing to work on this and as I do I feel like my confidence level is rising . The win at the Ron Jon in Florida really helped . Also the support I receive from my sponsors really means alot to me .
I think my first year or so of kinda struggling made me want it more . I 'm continuing to work on this and as I do I feel like my confidence level is rising .
WSL : Now you 've got a taste for victory , what are some goals you 've made for this year and moving forward ?
TC : This year my goal is to be in the QS 10,000 's for the back half of the year and be able to compete in the Triple Crown . My ultimate career goal is definitely to qualify for the World Tour .
WSL : Who are some people you travel with and what does it do for your surfing ?
TC : No matter what I 'm always traveling with my brother - he helps bring stability . He makes it so I really only have to focus on surfing . Having him there I do n't need to worry about flights , hotels , and rental cars . He also films all my free surfs for videos and to see where I may need improvement in my surfing . It 's really nice to have him in my corner . Kevin Schulz ( USA ) is starting to come on more trips and I 've also traveled with Josh Moniz ( HAW ) some places as well . They have always been really good friends of mine . We always get along great and it 's nice to have people traveling with you that have the same goals .
WSL : What 's something you do when you 're not traveling or competing and have some time to yourself ?
TC : I 'm gone so much that between contests its fun to hang out with my family . I golf with my dad , and just try to surf as much as I can . I love golfing though . In Hawaii this winter on the flat days , Griffin Colapinto ( USA ) , Josh and Seth Moniz ( HAW ) , Leo Fioravanti ( ITA ) , [ Colt Ward ] ) ( USA ) and I would always go golf .
The men got back in the water to finish their Round 2 bouts before the women got their inaugural Pismo Beach Open underway .
Another big day of competition in the archives , men 's Round 3 witnessed more excellent scores and a massive early exit .
As the men 's and women 's Qualifying Series heads to Costa Rica , for the final event of North America 's schedule titles are on the line . | 781 | 89 |

The Black Grid Connector connects two wire grid panels together. The connectors feature a unique two piece wavy design with a bolt through the middle. This design allows for the connectors to join panels together with a tight secure fit. Once the panels are joined the grid connectors allow the panels to open and close like an entry door with a hinge. We recommend using three connectors for every two panels. | The Black Grid Connector connects two wire grid panels together .

A B-52 readies for a mission in support of Operation Jagged Knife at Al Udeid AB, Qatar. Screenshot from Air National Guard video (below).
The US effort to hit the Taliban’s drug production has continued since the opening salvo in November, with now 25 narcotics processing facilities destroyed and about $80 million eliminated from the group’s pockets.
The “sustained air interdiction campaign” is the first time the US has targeted the Taliban’s revenue, and it “directly strengthens the Afghan defense forces” in their continued fight, said USAF Brig. Gen. Lance Bunch, the director of future operations with Operation Resolute Support.
While the Afghan Air Force kicked off the campaign with A-29 strikes on Taliban locations, the biggest wave came from aircraft not usually used in Afghanistan—B-52s and F-22s. The Nov. 19 B-52 strike was the first time that aircraft used its conventional rotary launcher in Afghanistan, delivering the largest number of precision munitions from a Stratofortress in its history, Bunch said.
A B-52 Stratofortress assigned to the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing, Al Udeid AB, Qatar, taxis and takes off in order to participate in a new offensive campaign in Afghanistan on Nov. 19, 2017. Air National Guard video by SSgt. Aubrey Griffin.
The stealthy, air superiority-focused F-22 was used in the opening salvo, and continued bombings, because it can carry small diameter bombs. US forces needed the most precise weapon it had at its disposal for some of the strikes and the F-22 was available at the time, even though F-15Es also carry the weapon. In addition to these aircraft, F-16s, US Marine Corps High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, and Navy F/A-18s have conducted strikes as part of the effort to hit the Taliban’s drug infrastructure.
Bunch leads Resolute Support’s newly created future operations office, or FuOps. It was created as part of the US government’s new South Asia strategy, and move away from time-based planning to a “conditions-based” future in Afghanistan. While the sustained air interdiction campaign, and a new build up of US forces in the country, is focused on fighting the Taliban’s momentum, the war is still at a “stalemate,” US Forces-Afghanistan commander Gen. John Nicholson told NBC News late last month. | A B-52 readies for a mission in support of Operation Jagged Knife at Al Udeid AB , Qatar . Screenshot from Air National Guard video ( below ) .

This is the 12′-tall inflatable grim reaper that patiently presides on a front lawn as it sits in deathly silence atop a pillared throne. Staying those brave enough to withstand his leering gaze, the reaper compels even the most pious to pause and reflect upon one’s mortality with an unmoving-and unmoved-skeletal countenance that provides no indication whether or not one “makes the cut”. It is unaffected by rain, early frosts, or other unseemly Halloween weather phenomena, thanks to a 75-denier, 100% polyester construction that imparts an appropriate etherealness to the reaper’s “body” and death shroud while lending rigidity and imminent purpose to its towering scythe. Three C7 bulbs that illuminate the reaper from within grant it implied prescience while the included constant-inflation air pump generates the low hum of the spiritworld. Seven stakes and three ropes secure the reaper’s repose to the ground during tempests, ensuring younger onlookers that their time for harvesting is still far away. 12′ H x 8 1/2′ W x 8 1/4’THIS INFLATABLE IS USED AND IN EXCELLANT CONDITION, COMES WITH GOOD USED MOTOR.

The range of voices assembled here is extraordinary: from lyrical realism to satirical comedy, from sociopolitical narratives of immigration and identity to gene-bending metaphysical fantasies. Among the writers are some who have already published several books, and some who are still on their first; writers with origins elsewhere - from Russia to China to Nigera - as well as writers from across the United States. The stories themselves take readers from Riga to Hollywood, from Peru to Texas, from Egypt to Connecticut, with literary styles and plots that are innovative, comic, poignant, and heartbreaking. Welcome to this landmark collection. Contributors' Profiles. 431p.
This now-classic book proclaimed O'Connor's emergence as one of the most original and provocative Southern writers of the twentieth century. Through grotesque, often comic, situations, her principal characters were set face to face with problems of salvation: the grandmother in the title story confronting the murderous Misfit; a neglected four-year-old boy looking for the Kingdom of Christ in the fast-flowing waters of the river; General Sash about to meet the final enemy. 252p.
In these three splendidly affecting stories based on the author's youth: Love Day; Shadrach; A Tidewater Morning - William Styron presents his first work of fiction to follow Sophie's Choice. The setting is Virginia's Tidewater country. The time is the Great Depression and World War II. And their common protagonist is Paul Whiteburst, whose recollections of three episodes in his youth serve as a potent magnifying lens through which readers perceive themes of death and loss, war, race, and the terrible power of memory. 142p.
Six short works by the National Book Award-winning author of Homer & Langley include the stories of a couple who become estranged after a mysterious man claims he grew up in their house and a Russian bus boy who is entangled in an organized crime ring.

Making critical waves when first published, these stories about dislocation, longing and desire depict a disenchanted and rebellious urban fringe generation in search of human connection. They are rendered in radar-perfect detail, replete with a reportorial candor uncompromised by sentimentality or voyeuristic charm. These stories are the real deal. 208p.
Following the bestselling triumph of 'Kafka on the Shore' comes a collection of stories that nails down Murakami's reputation as a master of the form. Here are animated crows, a criminal monkey & an iceman, as well as the dreams that shape us & the things we might wish for if we weren't parked along the shoulder, headlights blinking. Murakami's characters confront grievous loss, or sexuality, or the glow of a firefly, or the impossible distances between those who ought to be the closet of all. 384p.
At turns witty, heartbreaking, and fiercely intelligent, Bobcat and Other Stories establishes Rebecca Lee as one of our most gifted and original short story writers. Using a range of landscapes and countries, Lee creates full worlds, so that each story reads like a short novel. A student plagiarizes a paper and holds fast to her alibi, finding herself complicit in the resurrection of one professor’s shadowy past. A dinner party becomes the occasion for the dissolution of more than one marriage. A woman is hired to find a marriage match for the one true soulmate she’s ever found. In all, Rebecca Lee traverses the terrain of infidelity, obligation, sacrifice, jealousy, and finally, optimism. She creates characters so wonderfully flawed, so driven by their desire, so compelled to make sense of their human condition, that it’s impossible not to feel for them when their fragile beliefs of romantic love, domestic bliss, or academic seclusion fail to provide them with the sort of force field they’d hoped for.
From an Academy Award-nominated actor comes a collection of humorous, moving and inventive stories that explore the ridiculousness of modern-day life.
David Foster Wallace has made an art of taking readers into places no other writer even gets near. In this exuberantly acclaimed collection he combines hilarity and an escalating disquiet in stories that astonish, entertain, and expand our ideas of the pleasures that fiction can afford.
A fifth collection by the author of the National Book Award finalist, Varieties of Disturbance, includes pithy one-liners, exploratory observations and letters of complaint, including "A Small Story About a Small Box of Chocolates," in which a professor is stymied by her choices. 50,000 first printing.
(Penguin Classics). This superb collection assembles works drawn from the following books: A Universal History of Iniquity, Ficciones, Artifices, The Aleph, The Maker, In Praise of Darkness, Dr. Brodie's Report, and Shakespeare's Memory. With a Note on the Translation; Notes to the Fictions. 565p.
This collection of twenty-one pieces includes The Member of the Wedding and The Ballad of the Sad Cafe. Though best known for her novels, Carson McCullers was also a writer of dazzling short fiction. The novellas and stories collected here span her entire career, from her apprenticeship in the 1930s through her years of mastery in the 40s & 50s. They explore her signature themes: wounded adolescence, loneliness in marriage, the human comedy as played in the American South. Though her subject matter is often grotesque and her situation extreme, McCullers is not a sensationalist; she is instead a poet & symbolist, a kind of second Hawthorne, searching the luminous meanings behind things in the world. | The range of voices assembled here is extraordinary : from lyrical realism to satirical comedy , from sociopolitical narratives of immigration and identity to gene - bending metaphysical fantasies .

Hannah Elise: OCTOBER GOALS + THINGS TO WOOT ABOUT.
OCTOBER GOALS + THINGS TO WOOT ABOUT.
The end is in sight with my fall shooting schedule.
I only have a few more sessions and a wedding and then will be done for the year!
Anyways, here are a few personal / work goals for the remainder of the month.
+ workout 3x a week. Before it gets absolutely frigid, that is. I'm totally not ready for winter, or Thanksgiving/Christmas for that matter…didn't we like JUST have those?!
+ journal once a week. Still not a habit like I want it to be, but trying to get there.
+ work during 'normal' work hours and keep my evenings free. I've been trying to start implementing this so I'm not having to work late at night and can give myself some margin. I still teach piano lessons on some evenings but you can't edit all day and night without going nuts. Taking breaks is helpful and needed at this point in the year, haha.
+ has anyone else listened to THIS album?! oh my word, I can't even. lately I've been sick of my current music playlists and providentially stumbled upon this one through Instagram the other day. some of my favorite songs are Pieces, Heroes + Voyage, although others on there I'm becoming obsessed with too. You can listen to the full playlist on YouTube HERE.
+ chai tea. heavens -- chai tea just gets me. my favorite is THIS brand or a custom recipe our local coffee shop serves. so many places serve different variations on this..anyone else have a favorite brand/place to get yours?
+ fall styles. I feel like this is the best time of year to be creative with fashion. While spring is technically my favorite season, autumn boots/scarves/tights/corduroy/leggings/tunics/vests/knits are the best, amen?! so fun.
have a great Monday, friends!!
Bethel is amazing. Didn't know they had gotten a new album out! so excited!
Just curious...how many images do you typically end up sharing with your clients? Do you have a targeted amount of photos you take for different kinds of sessions?
Have you heard her song "You Make Me Brave"? One of my current favorites! | Hannah Elise : OCTOBER GOALS + THINGS TO WOOT ABOUT .

I just returned a few weeks ago from studying abroad in Panama City. I went with the LALS and Communication Departments’ one-month long program that they do every summer during May, and I just have to say that this was a great value for the money. The program was about $2,600 for the month not including the plane ticket (they have a package that includes the plane ticket for about $3,500 but I strongly recommend just buying your own plane ticket because it will come out way cheaper, since the plane ticket only cost $590). The program costs include staying in Las Vegas hotel the entire time, six credit hours of classes, and at least a couple of excursions every week, including a a day going to two Caribbean islands and two days at an all-inclusive resort. If you’re worried about funding, you automatically get the Panama Scholars award which varies year-to-year, but this year it was $900; with that funding, in addition to the College of Business grant, I only had to pay for food and spending money– the rest of my trip was totally paid for. If you don’t know any Spanish, don’t worry at all because you’re in groups most of the time, so about the only thing you have to do is order your food at restaurants. Also, most of the youth know enough English to at least help you out. This is a great first study abroad trip (although it was my second) because it’s only 3 weeks, and although they only offer 5 classes with the trip, many of them will cover general education requirements if you need them (for example, Panamanian Culture counts as a CD 1, and Conversational Spanish can be used to fill you foreign language requirement). I assure you that it’s not hard to get there, and you will have the experience of a lifetime. It was tons of fun!

have you tried it & didn't like it?
have you tried it & are still doing it?
Counseling is a "must do" part of dealing with mental health issues, trauma or crises issues, abuse issues, addictions recovery & recovery from eating disorders, natural disasters, criminal assault... well I could go on forever. Counseling is a "must do" if you're living and breathing on our dear Mother Earth today.
Just educate yourself enough to know what to look for in your journey to find "the perfect therapist/counselor" for you!
More than 1 in 10 adults in the US use services in the mental health system. Psychotherapy & medications are among your treatment options.
After earning their medical degree (M.D.) or osteopathic degree (D.O.), they must complete 4 years of residency training at a teaching hospital.
The 1st year of residency is an internship to sharpen skills in general medicine & neurology. The last 3 years focus on psychiatry.
A psychiatrist can be certified by the American Board of Psychiatry & Neurology after passing oral & written exams. That certification process can occur 1 to 2 years after completion of training. Those who are then board certified are referred to as diplomats of the American Board of Psychiatry & Neurology.
Some psychiatrists might have only a board eligible designation. That means they've completed the required psychiatry training at an accredited program but haven't yet completed the certification process.
Doctors don't have to be board certified in psychiatry to use the title of psychiatrist. However, certification is evidence of advanced training & experience.
Some limit their practice to one area, such as mood disorders or schizophrenia.
Because they're medical doctors, psychiatrists can prescribe medications as part of mental health treatment. They can also order laboratory tests, X-rays or other studies as part of your treatment. They're trained to provide psychotherapy of various kinds to individuals, couples, families & groups.
They're trained to provide evaluation, assessment, testing & treatment of mental disorders.
Education, training & state licensing criteria can vary widely. In some states, psychologists must hold a doctoral degree. That degree may be a doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) in psychology, a doctor of education (Ed.D.) in psychology or a doctor of psychology (Psy.D.).
Unlike psychiatrists, psychologists aren't medical doctors.
Some states require that psychologists have a period of supervised training after earning a doctorate, such as a supervised clinical internship in a hospital or other facility. They may also have to complete a year or more of postdoctoral supervised practice before practicing independently.
In some states, a master's degree (M.A. or M.S.) is sufficient to allow practice as a psychologist. But they may only be allowed to provide therapy under the supervision of a physician or a psychologist w/ a doctorate.
Traditionally, psychologists have been unable to prescribe medications because they're not medical doctors. However, in some cases, psychologists are now able to write prescriptions for certain medications.
There are different types of psychologists.
Social workers help individuals, families & communities overcome a variety of social & health problems.
There are many types of social workers & the term can be broadly used. Their training & education can vary widely. Most, but not all, have a master's degree in social work.
Not all social workers can be licensed to provide mental health services. They must be clinical social workers w/advanced training in psychotherapy. They must have a master of social work (M.S.W.) degree & meet certain training requirements as set by their state, including experience working under supervision to provide mental health & psychotherapy services.
But training alone isn't enough. In order to actually offer psychotherapy, clinical social workers must be licensed by their state, as w/psychiatrists, psychologists & nurses. Once licensed, they're designated as a licensed clinical social worker (L.C.S.W.) or licensed independent clinical social worker (L.I.C.S.W). Licensing requirements vary by state.
Clinical social workers may provide therapy in private practice in psychiatric facilities, hospitals, community agencies or other places that offer mental health services. Others may work as case managers & coordinate psychiatric, medical & other services on your behalf.
They often work w/psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses & vocational therapists, job counselors, to help manage your overall care. Social workers can't prescribe medications or order medical tests as part of your treatment.
A psychiatric nurse is a licensed registered nurse (R.N.) who has additional training in mental health. They work w/individuals, families or communities to evaluate mental health needs & assist other mental health professionals in treatment & referral.
A psychiatric nurse may have an associate arts, bachelor's, master's or doctoral degree. Much of a psychiatric nurse's specialty training takes place in a hospital. Their level of training & experience determines what services & care they can offer.
Advanced practice registered nurses (A.P.R.Ns.) have a master's degree in psychiatric-mental health nursing. There are 2 types of A.P.R.Ns.: clinical nurse specialists & nurse practitioners. In general, they can diagnose & treat mental illnesses & in many states they're authorized to prescribe medications.
They also may be qualified to practice independently, without the supervision of a doctor.
Finding a therapist who best suits your needs can take some legwork. If it seems like more time & energy than you can muster, especially if you're facing depression or another serious mental illness, consider enlisting help from your primary care doctor, family or friends.
Don't hesitate to ask a lot of questions of a potential therapist, either during an initial phone call or at your first visit.
Get a referral or recommendation from others, such as a trusted doctor, friends, family, clergy, your insurance provider, a professional association, your company's employee assistance program, community hot lines, your school district or local social services agencies.
Consider whether you have preferences regarding gender, age, religion or other personal issues.
Ask potential therapists about their education, training, licensure & years in practice. Licensing requirements can vary widely by state.
Find out office hours, fees & accepted insurance providers.
Double-check credentials by contacting your states licensing boards.
Discuss on the phone before your first visit, if possible their treatment approach & philosophy to make sure it agrees with your style & needs.
Find out if they specialize. Therapists often specialize in certain disorders or age groups. Some, i.e., work only with adolescents. Others specialize in eating disorders or divorce issues.
If you don't feel comfortable after the first visit, or even several visits, talk about your concerns at your next session & consider changing therapists.
Yes this is rather exaggerated, however it demonstrates the idea that as professionals in the field of therapy, we often seek complex theories, techniques & strategies to more effectively treat our consumers. A large amount of our precious time is spent seeking new theories & techniques to treat clients; evidence for this statement is shown by the thousands of theories & techniques that have been created to treat clients seeking therapy.
The fact that theories are being created & the field is growing is absolutely magnificent; however we may be searching for something that's always been right under our nose.
Clinicians often enjoy analyzing & making things more intricate that they actually are; when in reality what works is rather simple. This basic & uncomplicated ingredient for successful therapy is what will be explored in this article.
This ingredient is termed the therapeutic relationship. Some readers may agree & some may disagree, however the challenge is to be open minded & remember the consequences of “contempt prior to investigation”.
Any successful therapy is grounded in a continuous strong, genuine therapeutic relationship or more simply put by Rogers, the “Helping Relationship”.
Without being skilled in this relationship, no techniques are likely to be effective. You're free to learn, study, research & labor over CBT, DBT, EMDR, RET & ECT as well as attending infinite trainings on these & many other techniques, although without mastering the art & science of building a therapeutic relationship with your client, therapy will not be effective.
You can even choose to spend thousands of dollars on a PhD, PsyD, Ed.D & other advanced degrees, which aren't being put down, however if you deny the vital importance of the helping relationship you'll again be unsuccessful.
This author will attempt to articulate what the therapeutic relationship involves; questions clinicians can ask themselves concerning the therapeutic relationship, as well as some empirical literature that supports the importance of the therapeutic relationship.
Please note that therapeutic relationship, therapeutic alliance & helping relationship will be used interchangeably throughout this article.
The therapeutic relationship has several characteristics; however the most vital will be presented in this article. The characteristics may appear to be simple & basic knowledge, although the constant practice & integration of these characteristic need to be the focus of every client that enters therapy.
The therapeutic relationship forms the foundation for treatment as well as large part of successful outcome. Without the helping relationship being the number one priority in the treatment process, clinicians are doing a great disservice to clients as well as to the field of therapy as a whole.
The following discussion will be based on the incredible work of Carl Rogers concerning the helping relationship. There's no other psychologist to turn to when discussing this subject, than Dr. Rogers himself. His extensive work gave us a foundation for successful therapy, no matter what theory or theories a clinician practices. Without Dr. Rogers outstanding work, successful therapy wouldn't be possible.
There are 3 characteristics that will be presented that Rogers states are essential & sufficient for therapeutic change as well as being vital aspects of the therapeutic relationship (1957).
In addition to these 3 characteristics, this author has added 2 final characteristic that appear to be effective in a helping relationship.
1. Therapist’s genuineness within the helping relationship. Rogers discussed the vital importance of the clinician to “freely & deeply” be himself.
The clinician needs to be a “real” human being. Not an all knowing, all powerful, rigid & controlling figure. A real human being with real thoughts, real feelings & real problems (1957).
All facades should be left out of the therapeutic environment. The clinician must be aware & have insight into him or herself. It's important to seek out help from colleagues & appropriate supervision to develop this awareness & insight. This specific characteristic fosters trust in the helping relationship.
One of the easiest ways to develop conflict in the relationship is to have a “better than” attitude when working with a particular client.
2. Unconditional positive regard. This aspect of the relationship involves experiencing a warm acceptance of each aspect of the clients experience as being a part of the client.
There are no conditions put on accepting the client as who they are. The clinician needs to care for the client as who they are as a unique individual.
One thing often seen in therapy is the treatment of the diagnosis or a specific problem. Clinicians need to treat the individual not a diagnostic label. It's imperative to accept the client for who they are & where they are at in their life.
Remember diagnoses aren't real entities, however individual human beings are.
3. Empathy. This is a basic therapeutic aspect that has been taught to clinicians over & over again, however it's vital to be able to practice & understand this concept.
An accurate empathetic understanding of the client’s awareness of his own experience is crucial to the helping relationship. It's essential to have the ability to enter the clients “private world” & understand their thoughts & feelings without judging these (Rogers, 1957).
In therapy clinicians must develop goals that the client would like to work on rather than dictate or impose goals on the client. When clinicians have their own agenda & don't cooperate with the client, this can cause resistance & a separation in the helping relationship (Roes, 2002).
The fact is that a client that is forced or mandated to work on something he has no interest in changing, may be compliant for the present time; however these changes will not be internalized.
Just think of yourself in your personal life. If you're forced or coerced to work on something you have no interest in, how much passion or energy will you put into it & how much respect will you have for the person doing the coercing. You may complete the goal; however you'll not remember or internalize much involved in the process.
5. Integrate humor in the relationship. In this authors own clinical experience throughout the years, one thing that's helped to establish a strong therapeutic relationship with clients is the integration of humor in the therapy process.
It appears to teach clients to laugh at themselves without taking life & themselves too serious. It also allows them to see the therapist as a down to earth human being with a sense of humor. Humor is an excellent coping skill & is extremely healthy to the mind, body & spirit.
Try laughing with your clients. It'll have a profound effect on the relationship as well as in your own personal life.
Before delving into the empirical literature concerning this topic, it's important to present some questions that Rogers recommends (1961) asking yourself as a clinician concerning the development of a helping relationship.
These questions should be explored often & reflected upon as a normal routine in your clinical practice. They'll help the clinician grow & continue to work at developing the expertise needed to create a strong therapeutic relationship & in turn the successful practice of therapy.
2. Can I be real? This involves being aware of thoughts & feelings & being honest with yourself concerning these thoughts & feelings. Can I be who I am? Clinicians must accept themselves before they can be real & accepted by clients.
3. Can I let myself experience positive attitudes toward my client – (i.e., warmth, caring, respect) without fearing these? Often times clinicians distance themselves & write it off as a “professional” attitude; however this creates an impersonal relationship. Can I remember that I'm treating a human being, just like myself?
5. Can I be separate from the client & not foster a dependent relationship?
7. Can I receive this client as he is? Can I accept him or her completely & communicate this acceptance?
There are obviously too many empirical studies in this area to discuss in this or any brief article, however this author would like to present a summary of the studies throughout the years & what has been concluded.
Horvath & Symonds (1991) conducted a Meta analysis of 24 studies which maintained high design standards, experienced therapists & clinically valid settings. They found an effect size of .26 & concluded that the working alliance was a relatively robust variable linking therapy process to outcomes.
The relationship & outcomes didn't appear to be a function of type of therapy practiced or length of treatment.
30% of variance was predicted by the therapeutic relationship/common factors.
One more important addition to these studies is a review of over 2000 process-outcomes studies conducted by Orlinsky, Grave & Parks (1994), which identified several therapist variables & behaviors that consistently demonstrated to have a positive impact on treatment outcome.
These variables included therapist credibility, skill, empathic understanding, affirmation of the client, as well as the ability to engage the client & focus on the client’s issues & emotions.
This suggestion is a topic for a whole other article, however what this suggests is that the therapeutic relationship may create or recreate the ability for clients to bond or develop attachments in future relationships.
To this author, this is profound & thought provoking. Much more discussion & research is needed in this area, however briefly mentioning it sheds some light on another important reason that the therapeutic relationship is vital to therapy.
Throughout this article the therapeutic relationship has been discussed in detail, questions to explore as a clinician have been articulated & empirical support for the importance of the therapeutic relationship have been summarized.
You may question the validity of this article or research, however please take an honest look at this area of the therapy process & begin to practice & develop strong therapeutic relationships.
You'll see the difference in the therapy process as well as client outcome. This author experiences the gift of the therapeutic relationship each & every day I work with clients.
In fact, a client recently told me that I was “the first therapist he has seen since 9-11 that he trusted & acted like a real person. He continued on to say, “that’s why I have the hope that I can get better & actually trust another human being.” That’s quite a reward of the therapeutic relationship & process. What a gift!
Ask yourself, how you would like to be treated if you were a client? Always remember we're all part of the human race & each human being is unique & important, thus they should be treated that way in therapy.

Despite some perceptions, electroconvulsive therapy is a safe & effective treatment for some types of mental disorders. Here's a closer look at how it works.
Electroconvulsive therapy: Effective for borderline personality disorder?
acting out. Expressing emotional conflict or stress thru behavior & actions rather than reflections or feelings.

More than 1 in 10 adults in the US use services in the mental health system . Psychotherapy & medications are among your treatment options .
After earning their medical degree ( M.D. ) or osteopathic degree ( D.O. ) , they must complete 4 years of residency training at a teaching hospital .
The 1st year of residency is an internship to sharpen skills in general medicine & neurology . The last 3 years focus on psychiatry .
A psychiatrist can be certified by the American Board of Psychiatry & Neurology after passing oral & written exams . That certification process can occur 1 to 2 years after completion of training . Those who are then board certified are referred to as diplomats of the American Board of Psychiatry & Neurology .
Some psychiatrists might have only a board eligible designation . That means they 've completed the required psychiatry training at an accredited program but have n't yet completed the certification process .
Doctors do n't have to be board certified in psychiatry to use the title of psychiatrist . However , certification is evidence of advanced training & experience .
Some limit their practice to one area , such as mood disorders or schizophrenia .
Because they 're medical doctors , psychiatrists can prescribe medications as part of mental health treatment . They can also order laboratory tests , X - rays or other studies as part of your treatment . They 're trained to provide psychotherapy of various kinds to individuals , couples , families & groups .
They 're trained to provide evaluation , assessment , testing & treatment of mental disorders .
Education , training & state licensing criteria can vary widely . In some states , psychologists must hold a doctoral degree . That degree may be a doctor of philosophy ( Ph.D. ) in psychology , a doctor of education ( Ed . D. ) in psychology or a doctor of psychology ( Psy . D. ) .
Unlike psychiatrists , psychologists are n't medical doctors .
Some states require that psychologists have a period of supervised training after earning a doctorate , such as a supervised clinical internship in a hospital or other facility . They may also have to complete a year or more of postdoctoral supervised practice before practicing independently .
In some states , a master 's degree ( M.A. or M.S. ) is sufficient to allow practice as a psychologist . But they may only be allowed to provide therapy under the supervision of a physician or a psychologist w/ a doctorate .
Traditionally , psychologists have been unable to prescribe medications because they 're not medical doctors . However , in some cases , psychologists are now able to write prescriptions for certain medications .
There are different types of psychologists .
Social workers help individuals , families & communities overcome a variety of social & health problems .
There are many types of social workers & the term can be broadly used . Their training & education can vary widely . Most , but not all , have a master 's degree in social work .
Not all social workers can be licensed to provide mental health services . They must be clinical social workers w / advanced training in psychotherapy . They must have a master of social work ( M.S.W. ) degree & meet certain training requirements as set by their state , including experience working under supervision to provide mental health & psychotherapy services .
But training alone is n't enough . In order to actually offer psychotherapy , clinical social workers must be licensed by their state , as w / psychiatrists , psychologists & nurses . Once licensed , they 're designated as a licensed clinical social worker ( L.C.S.W. ) or licensed independent clinical social worker ( L.I.C.S.W ) . Licensing requirements vary by state .
Clinical social workers may provide therapy in private practice in psychiatric facilities , hospitals , community agencies or other places that offer mental health services . Others may work as case managers & coordinate psychiatric , medical & other services on your behalf .
They often work w / psychiatrists , psychologists , nurses & vocational therapists , job counselors , to help manage your overall care . Social workers ca n't prescribe medications or order medical tests as part of your treatment .
A psychiatric nurse is a licensed registered nurse ( R.N. ) who has additional training in mental health . They work w / individuals , families or communities to evaluate mental health needs & assist other mental health professionals in treatment & referral .
A psychiatric nurse may have an associate arts , bachelor 's , master 's or doctoral degree . Much of a psychiatric nurse 's specialty training takes place in a hospital . Their level of training & experience determines what services & care they can offer .
Advanced practice registered nurses ( A.P.R.Ns . ) have a master 's degree in psychiatric - mental health nursing . There are 2 types of A.P.R.Ns . : clinical nurse specialists & nurse practitioners . In general , they can diagnose & treat mental illnesses & in many states they 're authorized to prescribe medications .
They also may be qualified to practice independently , without the supervision of a doctor .
Finding a therapist who best suits your needs can take some legwork . If it seems like more time & energy than you can muster , especially if you 're facing depression or another serious mental illness , consider enlisting help from your primary care doctor , family or friends .
Do n't hesitate to ask a lot of questions of a potential therapist , either during an initial phone call or at your first visit .
Get a referral or recommendation from others , such as a trusted doctor , friends , family , clergy , your insurance provider , a professional association , your company 's employee assistance program , community hot lines , your school district or local social services agencies .
Consider whether you have preferences regarding gender , age , religion or other personal issues .
Ask potential therapists about their education , training , licensure & years in practice . Licensing requirements can vary widely by state .
Find out office hours , fees & accepted insurance providers .
Double - check credentials by contacting your states licensing boards .
Discuss on the phone before your first visit , if possible their treatment approach & philosophy to make sure it agrees with your style & needs .
Find out if they specialize . Therapists often specialize in certain disorders or age groups . Some , i.e. , work only with adolescents . Others specialize in eating disorders or divorce issues .
If you do n't feel comfortable after the first visit , or even several visits , talk about your concerns at your next session & consider changing therapists .
Yes this is rather exaggerated , however it demonstrates the idea that as professionals in the field of therapy , we often seek complex theories , techniques & strategies to more effectively treat our consumers . A large amount of our precious time is spent seeking new theories & techniques to treat clients ; evidence for this statement is shown by the thousands of theories & techniques that have been created to treat clients seeking therapy .
The fact that theories are being created & the field is growing is absolutely magnificent ; however we may be searching for something that 's always been right under our nose .
Clinicians often enjoy analyzing & making things more intricate that they actually are ; when in reality what works is rather simple . This basic & uncomplicated ingredient for successful therapy is what will be explored in this article .
This ingredient is termed the therapeutic relationship . Some readers may agree & some may disagree , however the challenge is to be open minded & remember the consequences of “ contempt prior to investigation ” .
Any successful therapy is grounded in a continuous strong , genuine therapeutic relationship or more simply put by Rogers , the “ Helping Relationship ” .
Without being skilled in this relationship , no techniques are likely to be effective . You 're free to learn , study , research & labor over CBT , DBT , EMDR , RET & ECT as well as attending infinite trainings on these & many other techniques , although without mastering the art & science of building a therapeutic relationship with your client , therapy will not be effective .
You can even choose to spend thousands of dollars on a PhD , PsyD , Ed . D & other advanced degrees , which are n't being put down , however if you deny the vital importance of the helping relationship you 'll again be unsuccessful .
This author will attempt to articulate what the therapeutic relationship involves ; questions clinicians can ask themselves concerning the therapeutic relationship , as well as some empirical literature that supports the importance of the therapeutic relationship .
Please note that therapeutic relationship , therapeutic alliance & helping relationship will be used interchangeably throughout this article .
The therapeutic relationship has several characteristics ; however the most vital will be presented in this article . The characteristics may appear to be simple & basic knowledge , although the constant practice & integration of these characteristic need to be the focus of every client that enters therapy .
The therapeutic relationship forms the foundation for treatment as well as large part of successful outcome . Without the helping relationship being the number one priority in the treatment process , clinicians are doing a great disservice to clients as well as to the field of therapy as a whole .
The following discussion will be based on the incredible work of Carl Rogers concerning the helping relationship . There 's no other psychologist to turn to when discussing this subject , than Dr. Rogers himself . His extensive work gave us a foundation for successful therapy , no matter what theory or theories a clinician practices . Without Dr. Rogers outstanding work , successful therapy would n't be possible .
There are 3 characteristics that will be presented that Rogers states are essential & sufficient for therapeutic change as well as being vital aspects of the therapeutic relationship ( 1957 ) .
In addition to these 3 characteristics , this author has added 2 final characteristic that appear to be effective in a helping relationship .
1 . Therapist ’s genuineness within the helping relationship . Rogers discussed the vital importance of the clinician to “ freely & deeply ” be himself .
The clinician needs to be a “ real ” human being . Not an all knowing , all powerful , rigid & controlling figure . A real human being with real thoughts , real feelings & real problems ( 1957 ) .
All facades should be left out of the therapeutic environment . The clinician must be aware & have insight into him or herself . It 's important to seek out help from colleagues & appropriate supervision to develop this awareness & insight . This specific characteristic fosters trust in the helping relationship .
One of the easiest ways to develop conflict in the relationship is to have a “ better than ” attitude when working with a particular client .
2 . Unconditional positive regard . This aspect of the relationship involves experiencing a warm acceptance of each aspect of the clients experience as being a part of the client .
There are no conditions put on accepting the client as who they are . The clinician needs to care for the client as who they are as a unique individual .
One thing often seen in therapy is the treatment of the diagnosis or a specific problem . Clinicians need to treat the individual not a diagnostic label . It 's imperative to accept the client for who they are & where they are at in their life .
Remember diagnoses are n't real entities , however individual human beings are .
3 . Empathy . This is a basic therapeutic aspect that has been taught to clinicians over & over again , however it 's vital to be able to practice & understand this concept .
An accurate empathetic understanding of the client ’s awareness of his own experience is crucial to the helping relationship . It 's essential to have the ability to enter the clients “ private world ” & understand their thoughts & feelings without judging these ( Rogers , 1957 ) .
In therapy clinicians must develop goals that the client would like to work on rather than dictate or impose goals on the client . When clinicians have their own agenda & do n't cooperate with the client , this can cause resistance & a separation in the helping relationship ( Roes , 2002 ) .
The fact is that a client that is forced or mandated to work on something he has no interest in changing , may be compliant for the present time ; however these changes will not be internalized .
Just think of yourself in your personal life . If you 're forced or coerced to work on something you have no interest in , how much passion or energy will you put into it & how much respect will you have for the person doing the coercing . You may complete the goal ; however you 'll not remember or internalize much involved in the process .
5 . Integrate humor in the relationship . In this authors own clinical experience throughout the years , one thing that 's helped to establish a strong therapeutic relationship with clients is the integration of humor in the therapy process .
It appears to teach clients to laugh at themselves without taking life & themselves too serious . It also allows them to see the therapist as a down to earth human being with a sense of humor . Humor is an excellent coping skill & is extremely healthy to the mind , body & spirit .
Try laughing with your clients . It 'll have a profound effect on the relationship as well as in your own personal life .
Before delving into the empirical literature concerning this topic , it 's important to present some questions that Rogers recommends ( 1961 ) asking yourself as a clinician concerning the development of a helping relationship .
These questions should be explored often & reflected upon as a normal routine in your clinical practice . They 'll help the clinician grow & continue to work at developing the expertise needed to create a strong therapeutic relationship & in turn the successful practice of therapy .
2 . Can I be real ? This involves being aware of thoughts & feelings & being honest with yourself concerning these thoughts & feelings . Can I be who I am ? Clinicians must accept themselves before they can be real & accepted by clients .
3 . Can I let myself experience positive attitudes toward my client – ( i.e. , warmth , caring , respect ) without fearing these ? Often times clinicians distance themselves & write it off as a “ professional ” attitude ; however this creates an impersonal relationship . Can I remember that I 'm treating a human being , just like myself ?
5 . Can I be separate from the client & not foster a dependent relationship ?
7 . Can I receive this client as he is ? Can I accept him or her completely & communicate this acceptance ?
There are obviously too many empirical studies in this area to discuss in this or any brief article , however this author would like to present a summary of the studies throughout the years & what has been concluded .
Horvath & Symonds ( 1991 ) conducted a Meta analysis of 24 studies which maintained high design standards , experienced therapists & clinically valid settings . They found an effect size of .26 & concluded that the working alliance was a relatively robust variable linking therapy process to outcomes .
The relationship & outcomes did n't appear to be a function of type of therapy practiced or length of treatment .
30 % of variance was predicted by the therapeutic relationship / common factors .
One more important addition to these studies is a review of over 2000 process - outcomes studies conducted by Orlinsky , Grave & Parks ( 1994 ) , which identified several therapist variables & behaviors that consistently demonstrated to have a positive impact on treatment outcome .
These variables included therapist credibility , skill , empathic understanding , affirmation of the client , as well as the ability to engage the client & focus on the client ’s issues & emotions .
This suggestion is a topic for a whole other article , however what this suggests is that the therapeutic relationship may create or recreate the ability for clients to bond or develop attachments in future relationships .
To this author , this is profound & thought provoking . Much more discussion & research is needed in this area , however briefly mentioning it sheds some light on another important reason that the therapeutic relationship is vital to therapy .
Throughout this article the therapeutic relationship has been discussed in detail , questions to explore as a clinician have been articulated & empirical support for the importance of the therapeutic relationship have been summarized .
You may question the validity of this article or research , however please take an honest look at this area of the therapy process & begin to practice & develop strong therapeutic relationships .
You 'll see the difference in the therapy process as well as client outcome . This author experiences the gift of the therapeutic relationship each & every day I work with clients .
In fact , a client recently told me that I was “ the first therapist he has seen since 9 - 11 that he trusted & acted like a real person . He continued on to say , “ that ’s why I have the hope that I can get better & actually trust another human being . ” That ’s quite a reward of the therapeutic relationship & process . What a gift !
Ask yourself , how you would like to be treated if you were a client ? Always remember we 're all part of the human race & each human being is unique & important , thus they should be treated that way in therapy .
Our purpose as clinicians is to help other human beings enjoy this journey of life & if this field is n’t the most important field on earth I do n’t know what is . We help determine & create the future of human beings .

Airbnbs and other short term rental properties in Massachusetts are no longer shielded from state and local room occupancy excise taxes. At the end of 2018, Massachusetts enacted legislation that taxes short term rentals of property within the Commonwealth effective for stays commencing on July 1, 2019.
The new law requires the owner/operator of the short term rental property to register with the MA Department of Revenue (“MDOR”), carry insurance on the property, and collect and remit the same 5.7% state excise tax that already applies to hotels and motels. In addition, towns and cities can also impose local tax on these short term rentals in its jurisdiction.
The excise tax applies to a short term rental property that is not a hotel, motel, lodging house or bed and breakfast, where at least one room or unit is rented out through the use of advance reservations. A short term rental includes an apartment, house, cottage, and condominium. However, it does not include property that is rented out through tenancies at will or month-to-month leases. It also does not include time-share properties. The new law applies regardless of whether the owner rents the property themselves, hires a rental agent, or uses an online platform to facilitate the rental.
In addition, short term rental owners are required to maintain liability insurance of at least $1 million to cover each short term rental unless the rental is offered through a hosting platform that maintains equal or greater coverage. The insurance policy must provide for defense and indemnification of the owner or operator and any tenants in the building for bodily injury and property damage.
All single occupancy rentals for a period of thirty-one days or less are subject to the tax but the tax does not apply to properties that are rented for fewer than fourteen days per calendar year. However, even if the owner plans to rent the property for just one day and therefore, would not be subject to collecting and remitting the excise tax, the owner must still register with the MDOR as a short term rental owner via MassTaxConnect. The owner will notify the MDOR at the time of registration that the intended rental is for less than fourteen days. If the owner rents the property for fifteen days or more in the same calendar year, or fails to register, then the owner is liable for the excise taxes.
The excise taxes must be remitted on a monthly basis along with the required reports. Room occupancy returns are due on or before the 20th day of the month reporting tax collected for the previous month. State and local excise taxes are to be paid with the return. This means that the first return and tax payment is due on August 20, 2019. Generally, an owner of a short term rental will be required to file a return for a given month only when there are rentals to report for that month.
The MDOR plans to issue regulations providing further guidance and we will continue to monitor developments in this area.

From left to right: Rep. Jerry Nadler, NOW NY President Susan Ossorio, Democratic congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Swing Left Deputy Political Director Ian Christie.
At home on the Upper West Side, Congressman Jerrold Nadler held court at a boisterous and well-attended town hall on Monday night, which served as both a celebration of recent Democratic victories and a rally to mobilize voters ahead of the November 2018 midterm elections.
The event, which was held at Symphony Space on Broadway and 95th Street, featured the unexpected appearance of Congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, as well as a number of other prominent New York City Democrats.
City Comptroller Scott Stringer, who introduced Rep. Nadler, rallied the crowd with talk of impeachment—after Democrats flip the House of Representatives in November, that is.
“The energy in New York City is real, people are so fired up, so ready to go, so ready to take back our democracy, so ready to make sure that Congressman Jerry Nadler becomes Chair of the Judiciary Committee,” Stringer said, to loud applause. The Judiciary Committee, among other activities, considers articles of impeachment; Nadler, if Democrats do take the House in November, would become its Chair.
Nadler, however, did not address impeachment, and instead focused on the importance of November’s midterms.
“I don’t have to tell you what’s at stake in this election, that this election is critical. Nancy Pelosi often says that we come before you every two years and we say ‘This is the most important election, ever.’ And it’s usually true. It’s certainly true this year. We must stop this administration, and the Republicans who are using this moment to push the worst possible agenda, and to attack the foundations of our democracy. Simultaneously, we must move to the positive, proactive things we want to do to protect our values and people,” he said.
Nadler sketched the road ahead, if Democrats are to regain control of the House.
But it was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a rising Democratic star who is likely headed to Congress next year, who stole the show. Her appearance, which produced an audible gasp, was unannounced.
The power of the individual to effect change in politics was a key theme of the evening, and major community organizers were well represented. National Organization for Women New York head Sonia Ossorio invited volunteers to participate in get-out-the-vote efforts. “You will be successful when you have worn out your sneakers or your flats,” she said.
Ian Christie, Deputy Political Director for Swing Left, reminded the audience that there remain only 50 days—or seven weekends—before the November elections.
“When you think about Danny O’Connor [in Ohio] losing an election by 1600 votes, 0.4 percent difference between win or lose, when you think of Conor Lamb in Pennsylvania’s 18th winning by 755 votes, it means that if you sign up to go knock on doors during that last weekend…you may be the difference,” Christie said.
Nadler himself is no stranger to close elections.
Members of the audience had a diverse range of questions. A man asked about the representation of people with disabilities in campaign materials, as well as the efforts Democrats are making on behalf of Americans with disabilities.
“One of the battles we have in Washington, which so far we’ve actually won, the Republicans every couple of years try to eviscerate the Americans with Disabilities Act. It comes before the Judiciary Committee, and we have managed to beat them back every time, so far. But this is also at stake,” Nadler said.
Regarding messaging, a member of the audience expressed his concern over the increasing prominence of socialism in the Democratic Party.
“I would like all of you to get away from this socialist turn—I would like you to say, ‘We are Democrats who believe there are certain things that should not be run for profit. We believe in capitalism, but we believe in capitalism with regulation. We don’t want to take away capitalism, but we know human nature, and it needs regulation.’ Socialism is a word that infuriates the other side,” he said.
Calling attention to the august demographics of the audience, a woman asked where the younger folks are, and what Democrats are doing to engage them.
Nadler urged attendees to mobilize.
Nadler, who recently became a grandfather, has represented the Upper West Side in some capacity since 1977.
Also in attendance were State Sen. Brian Benjamin and City Councilman Mark Levine.
Ocasio is Telegenic and talks a good talk, but when it comes to numbers and facts, she’s clueless. She has NO idea where the money will come from to pay for her ideas. She’s actually dangerous because she has followers when she has no idea how to implement her ideas.
I totally agree with you. Someone needs to reign her in and have her mentored by a more veteran Democratic politician (long time Brooklyn Rep. Nydia Velasquez) whom she could respect since her platform seems to be directed at the Latino community.
Why only Ocasio? Plenty of politicians have grand ideas with no initial plans of how to fund it, and we don’t stamp them out.
I don’t vote for communists.
That’s okay; they don’t vote for you either.
Better a communist than a fascist, buddy.
If Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez represents the future of the Democratic Party then it’s in big trouble.
This woman is little more than the left wing equivalent of Sarah Palin.
After the crushing defeat that “progressives”, ie Cynthia Nixon, took from the primaries last week I had hoped the Dems would have gotten a little smarter. Apparently they haven’t.
These politics might appeal to some lefty voters on the UWS and Park Slope but they will alienate just about everyone else. The Dems are not going to defeat Trump and his gang by veering to the loony left.
Furthermore, Nadler should be ashamed of himself for trying to legitimize candidates like AOC and even standing on the stage with her.
All of the haters on this comment area are just scared white men. How about you judge her by her actions?
Did you mean (in)actions? I think that’s his point.
OK You says, lets talk about her actions.
She claimed to be raised in the Bronx, dirt poor.
In reality, she was raised in Westchester county, very middle class life, not poor at all, and NOT from the Bronx.
I am not a “scared white man” and I find Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez dangerous in that she promises a lot but cannot say how she plans to implement these socialist plans. She is just another Bernie Sanders who single-handedly destroyed this party with all his false promises.
He split this party in two and now she is doing the same thing when it is crucial that we have a strong platform and stand together. Her story does not add up.
Under Socialism, food is just like dark humor.
As a political science expert, what explains the current widespread poverty, hunger, and food insecurity?
Norway, for example, with their cradle-to-grave welfare and healthcare system and nearly impenetrable worker protections, still is more productive than the US with a per capita GDP of $70,000.00 after correction for the over dominance of the oil sector. Compare that with US per capita GDP of less than $60,000.00.
Turns out, people work pretty hard when they are secure knowing they won’t be on the streets if god forbid they gets cancer despite working 40 hours a week.
I hope Occasio’s critics are also champions of sensible financial regulations, of which we have almost none more than we had in 2008. I also hope they remember that a New England democrat named Joe Lieberman killed Medicare for all, and the hopes girbObama single payer. No nwonder the poorest and youngest, of which there are many in Ms. Occasio-Cortez’s district, are pushing their district’s politics leftward. Politicians who don’t offer solutions, will not get offered votes from the kinds of people most in need of substantive action to give them opportunities for basic security for their families in return for heir hard work. If the current system was working, you’d have never heard the name Occasio-Cortez.
When my relatives in NC ask how I can live here surrounded by all these “liberal” I just show them this page. The posters on here are usually just as reactionary as some of the Trumpists down home. Being in favor of Social Security and Medicare, two of her core positions, are hardly radical. Separating babies from their mothers and fathers, on the other hand, is.
Obama separated children fro parents for 8 long years.
No one brought it up. It was OK to do so because saint Obama was doing it.
Comes the devil himself – Trump – doing the same thing saint Obama did, and it’s the end of the world.
There may have been occasional family separations in emergency situations (e.g., suspected trafficking), but it was not the policy of the administration. As the DHS secretary at the time said, “It’s not something that I could ask our Border Patrol or our immigration enforcement personnel to do.” Trump did it as a matter of systematic policy, he did it on purpose to hurt and scare people, and he STILL hasn’t fully complied with a court order to reunify families. IIRC, the last number I saw of kids still separated was around 500.
Obama may not have been a saint (his immigration policy was not, in fact, great), but you’re going to have a hard time in this lifetime finding someone closer than Trump in sheer gratuitous cruelty to the devil.
B.S. right back at you Sarah.
Obama was just as bad (some say good) as the devil Trump, but of course, he is Obama, and The Donald is evil, so lets not speak of truth, please, shall we?
Spanish Latino Man here , , , Democratic party is going to implode if it continues to support Socialism. The future of the Democratic party is hinging on a young woman who is living in Utopia.
the answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind.
I won’t be voting for Jerry Nadler this November. He really doesn’t do that much for folks like me. He doesn’t help create new middle class jobs. He mostly just shows up for photo ops. I always wish that we could get someone to run against him in the Democratic Primary. Don’t you think it’s strange that he always gets re-elected without any real challengers? Think about it. Yes, I may be crazy, but you’re the ones that just keep putting him in office.

When will the socialists start seizing apartments over 1 million dollars?
Great piece! Made me feel I was right there in the room with all the funny, odd, talking-over-each-other upper West Side neighbors we’re lucky to have taking today’s politics seriously Thanks for bringing the neighborhood alive.
Not good to be seen w her… we aren’t socialists.? We all work hard& pay high taxes…. | From left to right : Rep. Jerry Nadler , NOW NY President Susan Ossorio , Democratic congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio - Cortez , and Swing Left Deputy Political Director Ian Christie .
At home on the Upper West Side , Congressman Jerrold Nadler held court at a boisterous and well - attended town hall on Monday night , which served as both a celebration of recent Democratic victories and a rally to mobilize voters ahead of the November 2018 midterm elections .
The event , which was held at Symphony Space on Broadway and 95th Street , featured the unexpected appearance of Congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio - Cortez , as well as a number of other prominent New York City Democrats .
City Comptroller Scott Stringer , who introduced Rep. Nadler , rallied the crowd with talk of impeachment — after Democrats flip the House of Representatives in November , that is .
“ The energy in New York City is real , people are so fired up , so ready to go , so ready to take back our democracy , so ready to make sure that Congressman Jerry Nadler becomes Chair of the Judiciary Committee , ” Stringer said , to loud applause . The Judiciary Committee , among other activities , considers articles of impeachment ; Nadler , if Democrats do take the House in November , would become its Chair .
Nadler , however , did not address impeachment , and instead focused on the importance of November ’s midterms .
“ I do n’t have to tell you what ’s at stake in this election , that this election is critical . Nancy Pelosi often says that we come before you every two years and we say ‘ This is the most important election , ever . ’ And it ’s usually true . It ’s certainly true this year . We must stop this administration , and the Republicans who are using this moment to push the worst possible agenda , and to attack the foundations of our democracy . Simultaneously , we must move to the positive , proactive things we want to do to protect our values and people , ” he said .
Nadler sketched the road ahead , if Democrats are to regain control of the House .
But it was Alexandria Ocasio - Cortez , a rising Democratic star who is likely headed to Congress next year , who stole the show . Her appearance , which produced an audible gasp , was unannounced .
The power of the individual to effect change in politics was a key theme of the evening , and major community organizers were well represented . National Organization for Women New York head Sonia Ossorio invited volunteers to participate in get - out - the - vote efforts . “ You will be successful when you have worn out your sneakers or your flats , ” she said .
Ian Christie , Deputy Political Director for Swing Left , reminded the audience that there remain only 50 days — or seven weekends — before the November elections .
“ When you think about Danny O’Connor [ in Ohio ] losing an election by 1600 votes , 0.4 percent difference between win or lose , when you think of Conor Lamb in Pennsylvania ’s 18th winning by 755 votes , it means that if you sign up to go knock on doors during that last weekend … you may be the difference , ” Christie said .
Nadler himself is no stranger to close elections .
Members of the audience had a diverse range of questions . A man asked about the representation of people with disabilities in campaign materials , as well as the efforts Democrats are making on behalf of Americans with disabilities .
“ One of the battles we have in Washington , which so far we ’ve actually won , the Republicans every couple of years try to eviscerate the Americans with Disabilities Act . It comes before the Judiciary Committee , and we have managed to beat them back every time , so far . But this is also at stake , ” Nadler said .
Regarding messaging , a member of the audience expressed his concern over the increasing prominence of socialism in the Democratic Party .
“ I would like all of you to get away from this socialist turn — I would like you to say , ‘ We are Democrats who believe there are certain things that should not be run for profit . We believe in capitalism , but we believe in capitalism with regulation . We do n’t want to take away capitalism , but we know human nature , and it needs regulation . ’ Socialism is a word that infuriates the other side , ” he said .
Calling attention to the august demographics of the audience , a woman asked where the younger folks are , and what Democrats are doing to engage them .
Nadler urged attendees to mobilize .
Nadler , who recently became a grandfather , has represented the Upper West Side in some capacity since 1977 .
Also in attendance were State Sen. Brian Benjamin and City Councilman Mark Levine .
Ocasio is Telegenic and talks a good talk , but when it comes to numbers and facts , she ’s clueless . She has NO idea where the money will come from to pay for her ideas . She ’s actually dangerous because she has followers when she has no idea how to implement her ideas .
I totally agree with you . Someone needs to reign her in and have her mentored by a more veteran Democratic politician ( long time Brooklyn Rep. Nydia Velasquez ) whom she could respect since her platform seems to be directed at the Latino community .
Why only Ocasio ? Plenty of politicians have grand ideas with no initial plans of how to fund it , and we do n’t stamp them out .
I do n’t vote for communists .
That ’s okay ; they do n’t vote for you either .
Better a communist than a fascist , buddy .
If Alexandria Ocasio - Cortez represents the future of the Democratic Party then it ’s in big trouble .
This woman is little more than the left wing equivalent of Sarah Palin .
After the crushing defeat that “ progressives ” , ie Cynthia Nixon , took from the primaries last week I had hoped the Dems would have gotten a little smarter . Apparently they have n’t .
These politics might appeal to some lefty voters on the UWS and Park Slope but they will alienate just about everyone else . The Dems are not going to defeat Trump and his gang by veering to the loony left .
Furthermore , Nadler should be ashamed of himself for trying to legitimize candidates like AOC and even standing on the stage with her .
All of the haters on this comment area are just scared white men . How about you judge her by her actions ?
Did you mean ( in)actions ? I think that ’s his point .
OK You says , lets talk about her actions .
She claimed to be raised in the Bronx , dirt poor .
In reality , she was raised in Westchester county , very middle class life , not poor at all , and NOT from the Bronx .
I am not a “ scared white man ” and I find Alexandra Ocasio - Cortez dangerous in that she promises a lot but can not say how she plans to implement these socialist plans . She is just another Bernie Sanders who single - handedly destroyed this party with all his false promises .
He split this party in two and now she is doing the same thing when it is crucial that we have a strong platform and stand together . Her story does not add up .

Kuma explores The Bell Trail at Wet Beaver Creek.
When my family headed up north and took the Sedona exit, I thought we were heading to Sedona because I know that drive well. However, instead of turning left at the Sedona exit off I-17, we went to the right. What was this, uncharted territory? I was alert and ready!
We followed signs toward the Wet Beaver Creek Wilderness area and went only two miles from I-17 until we turned left (just past the one-lane bridge). We passed the Bell Trail overflow parking area and went straight to the main parking lot that has a human restroom. Apparently in the summer, this trail is heavily trafficked with folks desiring to go for a swim, so get there early to find a parking spot. We lucked out and had the trail to ourselves other than a Boy Scout Troup, and they were going to the campground. There’s no fee, and you can only camp in one designated area. Otherwise, the rest of the wilderness is day use only.
The temps were cool; Yeah baby, this was my kind of day! Off we went but not before reading about the trail. Charles Bell made this particular trail back in 1932 to move cattle through the Wet Beaver Creek Wilderness area to the rim. It has a 2,100 elevation gain and is rocky. Oh, this was all sounding great to me, so off we went. I guess it’s still used to move cattle, but I smelled none today.
The trail starts off nice and sandy and follows Beaver Creek. You can hear it, but there isn’t much access to it until the “Y” that veers you off to the Weir Trail. We stayed on the Bell Trail, which then begins to ascend up into the hills. Like Sedona, the rock is red, and we saw beautiful formations. Sedona can get pretty busy, so this was a nice change. Nothing but nature.
We saw the junction where you could hike up and camp. The trail is very well marked, so just keep following the Bell Trail up, and up we went. Humans will want sturdy shoes, as the trail does get rocky. Because of the creek, the canyon is green with lots of vegetation. I bet it would be spectacular in the spring and fall.
The trail goes six miles to the rim and is an out and back. We opted to go four and have lunch at the swimming hole. To find it, take the walking path to your left just before the creek crossing. It’s the only time you would cross, so if you come to it, go back about 10 feet. Just up the short hill is the swimming hole, an oasis in the desert.
My daddy let me jump in and swim around, and we had the place to ourselves. It was so awesome. Woof! Then mom broke out our picnic lunch, and we sat warming ourselves in the sun on the rock. It took us about one and a half hours to get here at about a three-mile-an-hour pace. Allow plenty of time if you go because heading back is rocky and slow going.
After a lovely break, we began hiking back out the four miles. My mom twisted her ankle on the rocks. Thankfully, she’s tough and walked it off. Go mommy.
We enjoyed a quiet and peaceful hike back to the car with the sun getting low. This was such a great hike that I was amped up and couldn’t sleep for the drive home, which was only about an hour. When I got home, I had to zoom around the house in a celebratory dance. Yes, Bell Trail at Beaver Creek gets high marks on the Kuma scale. | Kuma explores The Bell Trail at Wet Beaver Creek .

Resumen: Reading comprehension is one of the essential literacy skills needed for all grade levels students to excel in academic studies, and for effective participation in social and cultural activities in our information and knowledge-based society. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a teacher-developed literacy program using the Blended Learning environment on students’ achievements with respect to: (1) Literacy proficiency in core content subjects’ performance of English, History, Math, and Science, (2) and students’ engagement and motivation in the learning process. The study examined how twelve subject teachers at three grade levels (10th, 11th, and 12th) planned, organized, implemented, developed, and applied Blended Literacy instruction and learning strategies that focused on reading skills and comprehension in the core subjects. Through the observational inquiry approach that examined teachers’ and students’ behavior in the teaching and learning processes, the researcher sought answers to research questions related to the impact of Blended Learning on teachers’, students’ and parents’ beliefs on curriculum design, instruction, learning in each of the components of Blended Learning. After an extensive analysis of qualitative and quantitative data of student academic performances in four core subjects, the research findings concluded that students’ performance progress using Blended Learning Methodology was positively related to their achievements in every subject. Seventy-seven participant students demonstrated a remarkable performance record, showed achievement gains of five to sixteen times, and statistical significance of p-value < .000, in every subject at the end of the school year 2013-2014. Students demonstrated significantly better on overall mean scores in Term 2 over Term 1 as both teachers and students gained proficiency in the use of the Blended Learning model. This study confirmed the current conclusion by most studies at higher educational institutions that Blended Learning increases class participation, inspires deeper intrinsic motivation, and improves the quality of teacher and student commitment. | Resumen : Reading comprehension is one of the essential literacy skills needed for all grade levels students to excel in academic studies , and for effective participation in social and cultural activities in our information and knowledge - based society .

Opening a checking account is a big step. You have many options in front of you, and one you should seriously consider involves setting up a checking account with a credit union. In March 2018, Arizona credit unions reported approximately 1.5 million accounts, according to CUNA State Trends. Let’s get started with all of the benefits that a credit union checking account offers.
If you ever find yourself low on funds in any given month, you should not have to worry about your financial institution putting you in an even tougher spot. According to CUNA, Arizona credit unions save their members an average of $93 a year compared to other financial institutions. Many credit unions, like Deer Valley Credit Union, offer their members a maintenance fee-free checking account that does not require a minimum balance.1 You can also receive a free VISA debit card that will provide you with access to a network of ATMs and maximum buying power.
At credit unions, people are actually shareholders, and when you open an account, you basically buy shares of a cooperative. This typically results in much better customer service than what you will get elsewhere. You and the credit union are striving toward the same goal: making the area you live in better.
One of the biggest threats to businesses in the modern age is digital hacking. No business will be 100 percent immune from such hacks. However, credit unions will still implement excellent security measures to protect your money. To begin, you can sign up for text and email alerts that will notify you if there is any suspicious-looking activity on your account. This allows you to have an easier time managing your money and avoid paying late or overdraft fees.
Many companies offer employees the option of direct deposit. This is great because the money is sent directly to your checking account, so you do not have to go to the bank physically to deposit a check. Some people worry about whether they can sign up for direct deposit with a credit union, but fortunately, you can. Credit unions make it easy to sign up for such a system. Another benefit is that you will even be able to access the funds immediately instead of waiting days for the money to clear.
Numerous utility companies in Arizona allow customers to pay bills digitally. With a credit union account, you can set up those plans with ease. This saves you the hassle of having to track down envelopes and stamps to mail out payments. Additionally, you can set up automatic payments where the money is taken out from your account each month, so you never have to worry about missing a payment. You can rest easy knowing the lights will be on and the water will keep flowing without you having to lift a finger.
Some people feel more comfortable working with a bank because banks are protected by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. This organization maintains the stability of American banks in times of economic hardship. Credit unions are not protected by the FDIC, but there is another institution in place to protect them.
Credit unions have protection thanks to the National Credit Union Association. This organization allows all deposits made at credit unions to be insured up to $250,000. Therefore, in the event a financial crisis strikes your city, state or country, you can be confident your funds will be safe.
When you are out and about on the town, you may need to access your cash. Some credit unions maintain a shared network for consumers to have greater access to surcharge-free ATMs. DVCU partners with other credit unions through the CO-OP Network to provide members access to more than 5,000 credit union branches and is also a part of the Allpoint ATM Network, where members have access to over 55,000 surcharge-free ATMs.
You may not like receiving bank statements in the mail because this use of paper is bad for the environment. On the other hand, you may not like filling up your mailbox with items you throw away immediately.
With credit unions, you can access electronic statements, allowing you to view your checking account whenever you like. You can also print out your statement in the event you do need a physical copy from the convenience of your home. Credit union members also get to enjoy free online banking, so they can view their accounts, keep track of how much they have spent and transfer funds any time of day from their laptops or smartphones.
Before you sign up for a checking account with a credit union, make sure to view the institution’s website beforehand to see all the outstanding benefits you stand to gain. Some credit unions utilize the BaZing app. This app provides you with electronic coupons you can use for many local merchants. You can save big on everything from dining, travel and many other shopping options.
Credit unions give you a genuine voice. If you end up making a mistake or if a fee really hurts you, then you should not hesitate to bring it to the attention of a credit union representative. Staff members are more than happy to work with you to ensure you are happy with your account. Additionally, if you lose your card or want to change a PIN, you do not have to worry about being on the phone with a robot for hours on end. You get friendly, prompt service.
All these benefits and more can be found at DVCU. If you want to learn more about the services we offer or have a question about an existing account, feel free to email or call us at 602.375.7300.

Today, as we find ourselves as seniors on the brink of graduation, I ask all of you to remember back to August of 2012, when we first walked into Santa Fe Trail High School as freshmen. We had no way of knowing in what condition we would be sitting here on this day. From that time to now, we have made unexpected friendships. We have faced obstacles that threatened to crush us, laughed until we cried, became professional strategic procrastinators, overslept, under slept, and then stayed up all night just to do it all over again. By being here today, it is clear that all of our hard work has paid off.
On the way our lives were touched by amazing friends, inspirational teachers, and supportive family. As time passed, we were shaped into the people we are today, our own unique personalities who are now moving on with our lives to bigger and better things. As excited as I am for the next chapter of my life, there are a few things I’m really going to miss. There are little thing like Mr. Schmidt signing the ceiling tile on his last day freshmen year, to Mr. Hug yelling “Snow day tomorrow!” and watching all the confused faces because it was only October and there was no way there could be a chance for snow. And then laughing as you slowly realized that it was a Friday. Our school is also very helpful and caring. Whether it was NHS helping with the Harvesters Food Drive, or Mr. Quilling giving out free Chihuahuas in California.
I’m also going to miss the history I share with my classmates. I’ve been with some of my fellow graduates since preschool and others since sixth grade. I want to take a moment to remember those who started our journey with us but weren’t able to finish it by our side. All the memories and moments we’ve shared over the years will never be erased, but I will miss being able to see those I share them with on a regular basis. I’ve made many great friends throughout high school.
With social media it’s easy to stay in touch after graduation but it won’t be the same. The closeness and bonds will fade and we will make new friends. But I will forever treasure my childhood friends.
There are a few things I wish for my class, and a few things 1 learned these past four years. I want everybody to look to your right … look to your left … and look behind you. Find your family, friends, and teachers, take it all in. These are the people who’ve supported you, helped you, and loved you and they’ve always wanted the best for you. I encourage every one of you to go out and get yourself a support system. Whatever you choose to do with your life, surround yourself with positive people who inspire you, motivate you, and challenge you. Find people who will pick you up continuously after you fall. A large part of arriving at our destination is not simply knowing what road to take; it is knowing how to best travel that road. I inspire you Class of 2016 to not only follow the opportunities available to you, but to follow your heart and pursue a cause of particular importance to you.
Instead of following the road of past generations and graduating classes. I challenge you all to make your own road and travel that road the best you can. The risks are always present, but the battle always makes the win so much sweeter. If you believe you can achieve anything, and don’t allow others to tell you differently, what you are capable of achieving is genuinely amazing.
Today our path leads us away from Santa Fe Trail High School. Away from the familiar and into the unknown. There will be many obstacles in the path along the way and choices will have to be made. If in the years to follow, you somehow get lost along the way, come back home.
Remember what it felt like to be here right now in this moment. Remember what it felt like to have your family and friends look down at you from the stands and how happy they were for you. This is where it all begins. Right here, right now. Congratulations Class of 2016. We did it!
We have all heard this saying, and we have all experienced its meaning, yet we continue to make the same mistake. From the time we are able to comprehend the world around us, we begin rushing on to the next big step, whatever it may be. In preschool, we couldn’t wait to get to elementary school. From elementary school, we eagerly anticipated middle school. Then, in middle school, we counted down the days to high school.
Now we’re at the very end of our time here, but it doesn’t feel quite the same as moving on did before. Instead of pure relief and joy of making it to the next level, there’s something dampening the experience. Graduating creates one of the most contradictory feelings; it combines sheer happiness with the hollow solemnness of finality.
All of the complaining about how freezing it is in the school, how the freshman need to stand somewhere other than the middle of the hallway, how the lunches need serious improvement, and how we just can’t wait to get out of here, all become almost endearing when actually faced with the end.
It wasn’t until the last month here that I began slowing down, really taking in all that I would be losing. I listened to crashing locker doors, loud chatter in the hallways, Mr. Hug yelling “It’s meatloaf Wednesday!” and some of Johnson’s classic cheesy jokes. Most importantly, however, I genuinely listened to everything my friends had to say. Because I knew that in a month, we’ll never be as close as we are right now.
The people you’ve watched grow up will go their own ways and you may never see them again. You may never have the same close relationships with another teacher that you have received here at Santa Fe Trail. I realized what I had before I lost it, but not enough before to fully enjoy it. The next few years will be some of the best of our lives.
It’s a sad truth that a lot our high school friendships will wither, but in the next few years, we’ll meet more that will likely be around for the rest of our lives. We’ll move on to colleges, workforces, specialized training, or the military, where we’ll be introduced to new people that share the same future goals. We’ll watch these new faces grow, too, just in a different sense.
My only hope for the next step in my life is to learn from this one – to not rush through it as fast as I possibly can. Instead of always looking forward to the next best thing, I’ll be sure to appreciate where I’m at in the moment, because the truth is, we knew what we had – we just thought we’d never lose it.

So much attention is focused on the bride looking spectacular at her wedding, that sometimes the mother of the bride or groom forgets how special she is as well. You bought that gorgeous dress and maybe even a stunning hat to look just right when you walk down the aisle before your son or daughter, but what about treating yourself to something special to make you feel everything fits just right?
Modern Wedding Mom, a website devoted to the second most beautiful woman at a wed ding, you, interviewed me about CoolSculpting, a nonsurgical body contouring procedure that we do at Marina Plastic Surgery. The procedure was developed by Harvard scientists and is based on the science of Cryolipolysis®, a process demonstrating that when fat cells are exposed to extreme cold, they die and are eliminated naturally from the body. Fat cells are gone for good, and patients can expect long-lasting results.

For two years in a row, Fortune magazine has ranked Mercedes as one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For. This year, the luxury car manufacturer jumped from number 49 to number 15. For fourteen years in a row, Fortune magazine has been rating companies based on an annual survey of employees across corporate America. The Great Place to Work Institute is a partner with Fortune on this massive project that includes over three hundred companies. Random employees from the company are sent a survey that asks them questions about their job satisfaction, management credibility, and co-worker camaraderie. This survey makes up two-thirds of the final result, while the remaining score comes from internal audit data such as hiring practices, pay and benefits programs, as well as internal communication systems.
Mercedes is the only car manufacturer on Fortunes list and is ranked 8th among small companies that have less than 2,500 employees. This is a remarkable achievement for the luxury automaker and helps ensure they stay a step ahead of the competition. This organization has continually been a frontrunner in terms of advancing technology for performance and aesthetics. They are obviously also placing a lot of importance on employee satisfaction in an attempt to minimize turnover and establish a positive and creative working environment that fosters new ideas and innovation. By making it a great place to work, Mercedes is ensuring the longevity of its product and, in turn, ensuring the happiness of its customers. Buying a luxury automobile that will be serviced by people who love their job is a good thing.

Shelby Bess and Caroline Spainhour are undergraduates studying biomedical engineering. Below, Bess (a junior) and Spainhour (a senior) discuss their respective decisions to come to the U of A, their work in Dr. Timothy Muldoon’s lab, and their future career plans.
Spainhour: I went to a smaller high school with a graduating class of about 100 students. My arrival at the University of Arkansas as one of 25,000 undergraduate students was a big transition. Coming to such a large university, I knew that I had to make it smaller somehow, so I wanted to choose a major where the professors would know my name. I have always liked math and science, so I decided to pursue an engineering degree. My uncle graduated from the U of A with a degree in industrial engineering and went on to become a physician, and I wanted to follow in his footsteps. When he was in school, biomedical engineering was not offered at U of A, but I thought among all of the engineering disciplines, biomedical would help me distinguish myself academically when applying to start medical school. Looking back, I had no idea what biomedical engineering really was as a freshman in college, but now I am very pleased to have been a part of such a rigorous and rewarding academic program.
Bess: In high school, I took a Principles of Engineering course as an elective thinking that it was going to be an easy grade, but I learned so much more. After taking that course, I knew that I wanted to be an engineer. When I arrived at the University of Arkansas, I always knew that I wanted to be in the medical field, but I wasn’t sure which major was right for me. For my first semester, I was going back and forth between Chemical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering. When I went on the tour of the Biomedical Engineering department and looked at what they had to offer, I knew that the Biomedical Engineering department was the best fit for me. As a junior at the University of Arkansas, I look back at Decision Day and knew that I made the right decision. | Shelby Bess and Caroline Spainhour are undergraduates studying biomedical engineering .

Guests at a fine dining restaurant and bed & breakfast in Rhyl are always surprised to learn that as they cosy up to the fire on their UK holiday in the couple’s hall, they are sitting beside a remarkable piece of Tudor treasure.
A bed in which the much-married monarch Henry VIII romped with his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, has found an unusual resting place at a North Wales hotel.
The wooden section of the bedstead of Catherine, the first of Henry’s six wives, is now part of the grand fireplace at Barratt’s of Tyn Rhyl, in Rhyl.
Historians believe the saucy sovereign slept with Catherine in this same bed during their 21-year marriage. They say there is a compelling case for believing the tradition – she was, after all, pregnant six times.
David and Elvira Barratt, the husband and wife team who have run Barratt’s, a great destination for a UK holiday, for 20 years, certainly believe it is the genuine article. Stories passed down through the generations refer to the old wooden carved surround and its royal connection to Catherine, who married the memorable monarch in June 1509.
The Grade II listed building dates back to 1608, just 61 years after the death of Henry VIII and five years after the last of the Tudors, Elizabeth I, and is believed to be the oldest house in Rhyl. | Guests at a fine dining restaurant and bed & breakfast in Rhyl are always surprised to learn that as they cosy up to the fire on their UK holiday in the couple ’s hall , they are sitting beside a remarkable piece of Tudor treasure .

This understanding of marriage, of the Sacrament of Matrimony, now goes again the laws of the United States and of many countries, but is completely in accord with the laws of many other countries. This view of marriage is the one supported by the Scriptures—there is no doubt about that. There is no mention at all in the Scriptures of any other way of thinking of marriage.

EMMERDALE fans were left 'heartbroken' and in tears tonight, after Ashley Thomas was put in a care home beacuse of his dementia.
Viewers saw his wife Laurel Potts left devastated as she said goodbye to her husband Ashley Thomas after settling him into the home.
Ashley (John Middleton) suffers from vascular dementia and his family have struggled to cope over the last month as his condition deteriorates, leading them to make the difficult choice to put him in a care home.
One fan said: "This Ashley storyline though. Heartbreaking 😭 #Emmerdale"
Another tweeted: "Poor Ashley. Very touching. #Emmerdale"
This one commented: "I can't deal with these Ashley scenes. 💔 #Emmerdale"
During this evening's episode, viewers watched as Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy), her dad Doug ( Duncan Preston) and Ashley's daughter Gabby (Rosie Bentham) settle him into the home.
Despite the fact that Ashley appeared to be comfortable in the home, it didn't make the process any less difficult for Laurel.
As she watched him chatting to his fellow residents, Gabby said: "Maybe we shouldn't do a big goodbye."
Grace, the woman managing the care home, told them: "Whatever you think's best."
Laurel couldn't help snap, nerves frayed: "Well I wouldn't know because I've never done this before! Sorry, sorry."
Grace mistook Gabby for her daughter, remarking: "Your daughter's a wise girl."
Laurel glanced over to Ashley pouring the tea for a fellow resident, commenting: "That's my husband, helping people. It's what he does. Looking at him like this, you'd never know would you?"
Holding back the tears, she left with Gabby - but not without giving one last look over her shoulder.
Later she came back and her dad suggested that they go out for dinner - but she quickly dismissed the idea: "No, I'm going to have a bath and an early night. The sooner today is over..."
When she was at home and had a bath, she had a heart-to-heart with Gabby on the sofa, who told her that she was "the best thing that had ever happened" to her dad.
She added: "He's so lucky and I'm - I'm so horrible sometimes."
Laurel interrupted: "Hey, where's all this coming from? We have words, it passes."
Gabby said: "I love you, so much."
She then asked whether Laurel wanted her to go and live back with her mum now that her dad was in a care home.
But Laurel said an emphatic no: "Well your home's here. When Grace said today that your daughter's right, well you are - my daughter."
Later Laurel went upstairs and lay on her bed and cried herself to sleep.
More heartbreak is in store for the family after it was revealed that John Middleton is set to film his final scenes on the soap.
The show had already extended his stay after even they couldn’t bring themselves to say goodbye to him – and now he is due to die in the spring, meaning he is weeks away from filming his final scenes. | EMMERDALE fans were left ' heartbroken ' and in tears tonight , after Ashley Thomas was put in a care home beacuse of his dementia .

Only days after the release of Windows Vista Microsoft is now telling the world that it’s next Windows operating system will be released in the summer of 2009 and will be called Vienna. If this is correct we will see the first beta in 16 months time.
Ben Fathi, corporate VP of Microsoft’s Windows Core Operating System Division, says we can expect to see Windows ‘Vienna’ released by the summer of 2009.
“You can think roughly two, two-and-a-half years is a reasonable time frame that our partners can depend on and can work with” he said when pushed on the question by US publication PC World.
He went on to say the monstrous five year gap from XP to Vista had also changed Microsoft strategies for producing operating systems. “We realized that there were incremental things that we wanted to do, and significant improvements that we wanted to make in Vista that we couldn’t deliver in one release,” he explained saying that a shift to a more Apple-like incremental OS update system is on the horizon.
Fathi also blamed the significant work done in Windows XP’s second service pack (SP2) for delaying much of the work on Vista and said the company has realised that it tries to fix too much in one-off major releases.
So what can we expect from Vienna? Fathi was tight-lipped here simply saying “We’re going to look at a fundamental piece of enabling technology. Maybe its hypervisors, I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s a new user interface paradigm for consumers.” Vague, vague and more vague but at least it looks like we won’t have to wait half a decade to put some meat on these bones. | Only days after the release of Windows Vista Microsoft is now telling the world that it ’s next Windows operating system will be released in the summer of 2009 and will be called Vienna .

Gymnastics is a sport involving the performance of exercises requiring strength, flexibility, balance and control. Internationally, all events are governed by the Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG). Each country has its own national governing body (BIW) affiliated to FIG. Competitive artistic gymnastics is the best known of the gymnastic events. It typically involves the women's events of vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise. Men's events are floor exercise, pommel horse, still rings, vault, parallel bars, and the high bar. Gymnastics evolved from exercises used by the ancient Greeks that included skills for mounting and dismounting a horse, and from circus performance skills.
Other FIG disciplines include: rhythmic gymnastics, trampolining and tumbling, and aerobic gymnastics. Disciplines not currently recognized by FIG include aesthetic group gymnastics, men's rhythmic gymnastics and TeamGym. Participants can include children as young as 20 months old doing kindergym and children's gymnastics, recreational gymnasts of ages 5 and up, competitive gymnasts at varying levels of skill, and world class athletes.
Plot: Dan Millman has it all: good grades, a shot at the Olympic team on the rings and girls lining up for the handsome Berkely college athlete all teams mates look up to with envy. Only one man shakes his confidence, an anonymous night gas station attendant, who like Socrates, keeps questioning every assumption in his life. Then a traffic crash shatters Dan's legs, and his bright future. Now Socrates's life coaching is to make or break Dan's revised ambition.

The majority of folks who have stretch marks feel embarrassed by them, especially in the early stages at which time the scars are purple or red in appearance. A few folks are more inclined to acquire them than other people. Fortunately there is a lot you can do when it comes to stretch mark prevention.
Stretch marks develop when the body expands too quickly and the skin cannot keep pace. Teenage girls normally acquire stretch marks on the legs and hips. They can also crop up if you build up muscle size in the gym, if you put on lots of weight rapidly or if you are expecting a baby. Stretch marks are the result of the mid layer of skin, called the dermis, pulling apart after the collagen breaks down. The scars become apparent on the outer layer of skin, known as the epidermis.
Control your weight: It's well established that fast increase in weight is one of the causes of stretch marks. Therefore it should be clear that the most effective way to avoid them is to not pack on the pounds abruptly. If you're a weight lifter endeavor to boost your muscle mass slowly. If you are a woman who would like to prevent stretch marks in the course of pregnancy endeavor to ensure you increase weight slowly. Moreover, you must maintain your weight increase at the prescribed rate, which is normally between 25 to 35 pounds. If you are not a weight lifter and you're not expecting a baby, just endeavor to maintain a healthful body mass index between 20 to 25 if you want to keep stretch marks from developing.
Healthy eating: Individuals who eat a nourishing and sensible diet are more likely to keep to a normal weight and are hence less prone to stretch marks. Furthermore, particular nutrients are good for the skin.If you want to prevent stretch marks, you will have to consume a diet rich in zinc, silica, fatty acids and vitamins A, C and E. If you do not obtain these nutritional elements from your diet you may wish to consider using vitamin and mineral supplements.
Keep your skin moisturized: The collagen inside the dermis is more prone to rupture and stretch marks if the skin is thirsty. Thus if you wish to prevent stretch marks it helps to take care that your skin has an adequate amount of water. You can help keep your skin moist by ensuring that you drink the recommended eight glasses of water each day. You may also want to try a top quality skin care oil, lotion or cream. Products that contain cocoa butter or vitamins A and E are thought to be particularly beneficial for this purpose.
Stretch marks can impact anyone, male or female, through weight gain, pregnancy and bodybuilding.

The Frozen Ark project focusses on the thousands of animals that are threatened with extinction. The mission is to collect, preserve and store tissue, gametes, viable cells and DNA from endangered animals for use both in conservation programmes and to enable society to benefit itself and all life on earth.

Modular buildings lifted into position by crane.
The contract to develop the School’s facilities at Holbrook, Derby was awarded to the Facilities Maintenance & Building division at Gelder Group by Derby County Council. This is a huge project consisting of kitchen area, four main class rooms, reception area, medical rooms, shower areas and a common room.
The infrastructure for this building has been a big challenge with landscapes being altered to form a huge retaining wall, drainage systems for both foul and surface water, mains services gas, water, electric and BT being required. This has been a challenging job but the finished buildings will make a huge difference to staff and teenagers in Belper and the surrounding areas.
New Boarding House at Worksop College.
At Worksop College, boarding is thriving across all years. To help keep up with demand, the Gelder Groups’s Major Contracts division have successfully increased their boarding capacity with a new 60 bed boarding house, costing £3.5 million.
The work included a three storey boarding house for boys, Housemaster’s residence, two House tutor rooms and three communal areas. All areas utilise ground source heat pumps for their heating systems, which comprise of twelve 120 metre deep boreholes and associated pipework. This was a considerable project for the team and they are proud to see its completion.
For more information about the Worksop College Boarding House, please get in touch.

The work to date has run very smoothly and with the preparations we’ve made to continue the work when the school is open, I’m confident that the remaining work, while challenging, will be run just as smooth. | Modular buildings lifted into position by crane .

Honestly tracking? or just tracking?
The latest gadgets in the fitness industry are tracking every move you make....literally!! Everywhere U look there are fitbits, fuelbands, jawbones, vivofits, polar trackers and many other various other types of activity trackers. We also have the luxury of tracking every single bit of food that goes into our mouth and every ounce of water we drink, yet somehow, sometimes we still just can't shed that little bit of weight!
We see it almost everyday, someone wanting to know why they are "working out so hard" and "eating so clean," but they still just can't lose weight. That's when we say show us your trackers! We need to see exactly what you're eating and how much you're moving. Well the truth is we only see about half of our client's food diaries and of that I would venture to say 50% of those people aren't being honest about what they are really eating.
That's the problem with technology.....user error ;-) As with everything in life, until we are completely honest about what we are doing and how we are living, we can't begin to truly change and transform our lives. U must take responsibility for your change!
It's truly amazing that we have all of these amazing gadgets, websites and apps at our fingertips, but unless U are being 100% honest about what you're doing.....THEY DON'T WORK! So we challenge U to use myfitnesspal.com (or another app of your choice) to honestly and truly track every single piece of food that enters your mouth and every ounce of fliud U drink, then take a look back and see how you can make every meal a little cleaner. Then......here's the hard part....keep tracking your food for atleast a month. Don't be afraid to hold yourself accountable, and if all else fails send us an email and we can help U out. It can be overwhelming and confusing how to begin changing your diet (and life) and often another eye helps find the little changes that can be made.
Keep using your fitness trackers, keep tracking your food and keep moving...but make sure U are honest with yourself and realistic! Change takes time...not only physically but mentally as well.
Nutrition is not complex. Being healthy doesn’t mean you have to follow a strict diet, limiting yourself to only certain things. And being skinny doesn’t mean you’re necessarily healthy. Nutrition is nourishing your body for optimum health and growth, which means you need to fuel your body with what it needs (not what U want or what your emotions want).
At least once a week, we are approached by people wanting to try a new diet, a new supplement or new program and they want our opinion. While we are so excited to see people wanting to lose weight, we just want people to be healthy! When you are healthy, your body is functioning at its prime, your skin glows, you feel great and most importantly your body's systems are all functioning properly. This is what we encourage!! We encourage good health and of course, fitness.
So how do U achieve this?! It's actually quite simple, yet something that we ALL struggle with! It's called clean eating. That means you eat mainly vegetables, fruits and lean meats. You cut out processed junk and foods, drink more water and eat less sugar. While it's easy in theory it's complex in practice because we have literally become addicted to sugar (which is in everything), processed foods and the easy, fast meals.
We are a fast moving, busy society that wants to grab and go, which most often means grabbing that bag of chips. But if you take just a few minutes every few days and cut up some veggies and fruits for your family, or throw a healthy dinner in the crockpot it will pay off in the long run. Think long-term health not short term weight loss, because every single thing we put in our mouth today affects our body tomorrow.
We want everyone to think long-term. We ask everyone who comes to us asking about a new program or diet, “can you maintain this forever? Will you drink those shakes, eat those frozen dinners or take that "magic pill" for the rest of your life?” The chances are no you won't, which means when you stop that program you will likely gain the weight back, and what's even worse is that most of the time you gain double the weight back. Remember that quote we've all heard: "nothing worth it is easy," that couldn't reign more true than when it comes to being healthy and losing weight. It's a never ending journey, and it’s something you always have to be cognizant of.
Begin to look for the healthy options...THEY ARE THERE! Almost every restaurant now has an alternative menu which contain "plant based" options, often U can grab fruit cups and trail mix at gas stations and most grocery stores have salads in their deli. So why are we still making excuses?! | Honestly tracking ? or just tracking ?

More than ninety per cent of the Muslims of the world are Sunnis, followers of the Sunnah. The only sects of any importance among the Sunnis are the Wahhabis, the reformist sect of Arabia, and the Qadiani sect of Pakistan which is generally looked upon as somewhat heretical, although its Lahori branch is not always so regarded. The various tendencies among the Sunnis have often led to differences in point of view, but not to the creation of new sects. The most widely accepted theological position is that of the Ash’arites. The rationalism of the Mu’tazilites at one time almost led to the formation of a recognizable sect, but today the rationalist point of view is only one of several tendencies among the Sunnis. Differences between the firmly orthodox and the modern reformist have not created a sectarian division.
The numerous Sufi orders cannot be classed as separate sects because they are made up of people who consider themselves to be Sunnis or Shi’as as well as Sufis. Sufi orders have been banned by the government of Turkey, but Sufism continues there as a powerful factor in the Islamic life of the country; both intellectuals and common people study the writings of their famous Sufis and continue their personal Sufi disciplines. The Sufi orders continue to be an important factor in Africa, though their influence in Egypt is declining. There is still, however, a strong interest in Sufi writings among the intellectuals in Egypt. The Shi’as have pronounced Sufi tendencies which have influenced the devotional life in Iran and Iraq as well as Pakistan and India . The Sufism of Pakistan and India has sometimes been influenced by the mysticism of Hinduism, leading on occasion to pantheistic tendencies there. In Indonesia, as we have seen, Sufism plays a major role in the devotional life of the Muslims, both as organized orders among the common people and as a study and discipline among the intellectuals. Only in China do we find that Sufism has not been an important factor in the Muslim community. | More than ninety per cent of the Muslims of the world are Sunnis , followers of the Sunnah .

The rationalism of the Mu’tazilites at one time almost led to the formation of a recognizable sect , but today the rationalist point of view is only one of several tendencies among the Sunnis . Differences between the firmly orthodox and the modern reformist have not created a sectarian division .
The numerous Sufi orders can not be classed as separate sects because they are made up of people who consider themselves to be Sunnis or Shi’as as well as Sufis . Sufi orders have been banned by the government of Turkey , but Sufism continues there as a powerful factor in the Islamic life of the country ; both intellectuals and common people study the writings of their famous Sufis and continue their personal Sufi disciplines . The Sufi orders continue to be an important factor in Africa , though their influence in Egypt is declining . There is still , however , a strong interest in Sufi writings among the intellectuals in Egypt . The Shi’as have pronounced Sufi tendencies which have influenced the devotional life in Iran and Iraq as well as Pakistan and India . The Sufism of Pakistan and India has sometimes been influenced by the mysticism of Hinduism , leading on occasion to pantheistic tendencies there . In Indonesia , as we have seen , Sufism plays a major role in the devotional life of the Muslims , both as organized orders among the common people and as a study and discipline among the intellectuals . Only in China do we find that Sufism has not been an important factor in the Muslim community . | 372 | 29 |

Our (VAC) 2012 club match league is under way again, I fished the first match at Riverside Road but not much to report.
I had 2 bream for 4lb 1oz and that put me 6th out of 36.
I couldn't make the 2nd match as my car was undergoing repairs, so here we are at the 3rd match.
Only 15 of us on this one, some are not keen on the challenge (or potential long-ish walk) I guess.
I drew peg number 2 which turned out to be an "end peg" for some reason.
I had moored boats opposite, directly opposite me was a standard size narrow boat which looked lived in but I did not see anyone moving on it whilst setting up.
In front but slightly to my right was a larger narrow boat which was obviously near the end of a good renovation job, there was a family on this one.
I decided to fish close to the boat in front of me but also feed an area close to the larger boat to give another area to try.
I set up a small method feeder rod, a pellet feeder rod and a waggler rod, these were all for casting up tight to the boat(s) with the intention of trying for one or two of the carp which live in the area, also giving me a chance of a chub or bream.
I also had a light waggler rod ready in case no large fish showed, to target silver fish.
Just after beginning to set up it started raining, not too heavy but having an umbrella up is always a hindrance!
As usual, I was not completely ready when the whistle went to start the match at 9.30.
I cast the method feeder with hair rigged soft pellet up close to the boat (clipped up), tightened up slightly and continued to get things sorted from my seated position under the umbrella.
Imagine my suprise when after about 5 minutes the rod tip shot round and something was trying to take the rod for a swim.
I could tell it was a good size carp before I saw it and after 7 or 8 minutes playing it fairly carefully, it was in the net and was obviously over 10lb!
My neighbour came to me with his 11lb samson scales and we weighed it in my landing net, the scales bottomed out. We agreed that it looked about 13 - 14lb and as I came prepared with a proper carp keepnet I put it in there and carried on.
I added 6 small carp (around 3lb each) and a small skimmer by midday all from the same area and did not have a bite after that.
As it turned out, I had won the match with the large carp in the first 15 minutes!

My sincere apologies for not doing a book review last month, I had a lot of things going on and I wanted to make sure I properly understood the book I was going to review (thanks for understanding😊). I really did find this book educating and interesting because it made me see reasons why majority of us act and behave the way we do.
This month's book review is titled Emotional Intelligence for Dummies by Steven J. Stein. He is a PhD holder, a clinical psychologist and CEO of Multi-Health Systems (MHS) - a leading international test publishing company. Dr. Steve is a leading expert and consultant on psychological assessment and emotional intelligence.
This book involves understanding and managing your emotions and the emotions of the people around you. It is the ideal book for anyone who wants to get smart about their feelings and reach the next level at work and at home. Emotional Intelligence for Dummies will show you how to take control of your emotions rather than letting your emotions control you!
It also contains helpful techniques and exercises that you can participate to be more emotionally aware or intelligent. I recommend it for young adults, adults, students, parents and also to schools, churches, organizations and emotionally unstable people. Let’s hope I did justice to the review…Lol!
Emotional intelligence isn’t just about being nice to people. You also have to recognize another person’s perspective and use your emotions appropriately. So, in some cases, emotional intelligence means that you must be tough with the other person, or show him or her that you’re not happy with their decisions. Emotional intelligence is more about being able to read the other person and using your emotions appropriately, as described in the following sections. Being very smart in one or two areas doesn’t mean you’re smart in all areas. You can be exceptionally intelligent academically but have low emotional intelligence.
Emotionally intelligent people have a certain way of thinking, feeling, and behaving. They’re naturally confident. They bring out the best in others. When you’re with someone who’s highly emotionally intelligent, you feel like he or she is completely interested in you. He or she isn’t distracted when talking with you; you get his or her full attention. In times of crisis or difficulty, emotionally intelligent people make you feel more at ease. They don’t panic, and they’re focused on solutions. They offer a healthy perspective that helps you realize that things may be okay in the end.
✓ Know your mood most of the time.
✓ Possess a good understanding of why you feel the way you do.
✓ Know how others around you are feeling.
✓ Manage your feelings, especially by turning intense, or hot, negative emotions into less intense, or warm, emotions.
✓ Manage the emotions of people around you, making those people feel more at ease.
Emotionally intelligent people enjoy a full range of feelings. They’re not robotic or unnatural in their experience of feelings. Their feelings are real and can be intense — especially positive, happy feelings. When they have intense negative feelings, they manage not to get overwhelmed. They get over negative feelings far more quickly than most people. Emotionally intelligent people tend to use all their senses — taste, touch, smell, vision, and hearing — to fully experience feelings.
In social situations, an emotionally intelligent person’s thoughts are centered and focused on the other person. When an emotionally intelligent person talks to a friend about that friend’s sick mother, he/she is thinking about his/her friend, what he/she is saying, how he/she feels about it, and how that might impact his/her life.
An emotionally intelligent person doesn’t think about how he would feel under the circumstances; he considers what he can do to help.
An emotionally intelligent person thinks about what he might say to his friend to let him/her know that he understands and will support him/her in this time of difficulty.
Emotionally intelligent people look after themselves, but they’re often thinking of the needs of others. They’re very aware of their environment and the people around them. They’re good at realistically looking at the big picture, picking out what’s important and responding appropriately.
An emotionally intelligent person generally approaches people with a WIIFY (what’s in it for you?) attitude, rather than a WIIFM (what’s in it for me?) perspective. When you think of others, you stay balanced and avoid becoming self-centered.
Emotionally intelligent people are able to think logically about emotion. When they experience an unpleasant emotion after an event, they can ask productive questions about what caused the emotion.
For example, when Jane hears that her boyfriend, Jim, was at a bar Friday evening with another woman, she feels an instant pit in her stomach. It’s as though someone punched her. Then, a feeling of extreme sadness takes over. This emotional change happens so quickly that she doesn’t even have time to consciously grasp the situation. She wasn’t overly confident about her relationship with Jim, so the news strikes her instantly with feelings of sadness. After a short while, she starts asking herself some questions: How do I know who this person is? Could it have been a business meeting? What if it was a relative? Could he have female friends? Has he given any signals that our relationship is shaky? So what if he decides to see someone else? Would I like to be free to date other people again? Would it be the end of the world if we broke up? Can’t I find a new relationship if I have to?
By asking herself these questions, Jane moves away from her depressed feelings and experiences feelings of concern, instead. The next time she sees Jim, she brings up the subject in a nonthreatening way. Instead of being angry or accusatory, she’s calm and inquisitive. She’s relieved to find out that Jim has a female first cousin he’s close to and keeps in touch with. Part of his discussion with his cousin was about Jane and him getting together with her and her boyfriend the following Saturday night. What if Jane had assumed the worst and greeted Jim with a fight? She may have damaged her relationship with Jim and caused her own self-esteem to suffer.
Staying cool, calm, and collected while completing many tasks isn’t the only way to demonstrate emotional intelligence. You also show emotional intelligence in how you carry out the tasks at hand while under pressure.
For example, Nicole broke her tasks into manageable parts, which helped her keep her cool. When most people are frazzled, you generally want to stay away from them. But Nicole is so adept at working with people that they welcome being around her. Nicole’s work team, instead of feeling stressed about the deadline, enjoys the challenge of the tasks. Nicole makes them feel good about having the opportunity to participate in such exciting tasks. She can make her mother feel relieved and comforted after less than ten minutes on the phone. She knows just how to get her husband enthused about having his favorite dinner — and using his time to prepare it.
Emotionally intelligent people manage themselves, and the people around them, well. You also probably can’t tell how emotionally intelligent a person is just by the way he or she looks — unless you really know what to look for. You might recognize his or her level of emotional intelligence by watching him or her deal with a stressful situation — in traffic, at the supermarket, or anywhere else you see people lose their cool. Although you shouldn’t judge people by their looks, you can figure out a lot about them by watching how they behave — especially under stress.
People who have low emotional intelligence are generally not very happy, aren’t in touch with their life goals, and have poor problem-solving skills. These deficits have real-life implications. They may have difficulty maintaining relationships with people, holding down jobs, being promoted at work, having satisfying intimate relationships, or dealing with stressful situations.
1. Become more self-aware - You can become more aware of your emotions through various forms of meditation or mindfulness. By enrolling in a course, joining a group, or hiring an instructor, you can use these techniques to become more aware of your body, your feelings, and your thoughts. You can also become more self-aware by using your notebook to record your feelings at various preset intervals. By increasing your emotional vocabulary and using it to describe your full range of feelings throughout various parts of the day, you can figure out how to pay more attention to your emotions.
2. Express your thoughts, feelings and beliefs - Knowing how to express your emotions can often help you in managing those emotions which can be done through assertiveness. Assertiveness is the appropriate sharing of thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. Basically, you need to let the right people, at the right time, know where you stand.
3. Discover your inner passions - Everyone tends to go about their work from day to day doing what they have to do. But how many people are really excited about the work that they do? Few people strive to do the kind of work that really excites them. Most people have a passion for some kind of work, activity, or interest deep inside, but you can’t always easily find it. You may know some starving artists who shun regular jobs in hopes of making their dreams come true. You may not be able to easily find work that you’re passionate about, but with the right amount of planning, you can do it.
4. Know your strengths and weaknesses - Some people seem to think that they’re good at everything. Others constantly underestimate their strengths. The ideal situation, of course, is to accurately know your strengths and weaknesses. Knowing yourself helps you make choices in life. For example, by focusing on your strengths you can get more of what you want out of life. Pursuing the things you’re good at and have a passion for such as science, music, art, writing, public speaking, woodworking, or gardening — enables you to live a richer and fuller life. By over focusing on areas of weakness, unless they interfere with your life, you tend to hold yourself back from getting the most out of life.
5. Walk in other person’s Moccasins (Empathy) - Empathy is an extremely powerful emotion. Most successful politicians (such as Bill Clinton), philanthropists (such as Princess Diana), media personalities (such as Oprah), and leaders in the community and business are high in empathy. Increasing your ability to empathize can help you get closer to others, win their support when you need it, and defuse potentially high-charged situations. By showing another person that you really understand where he’s coming from, you gain a certain level of respect. You demonstrate that you’re not self-centered.
You can start being more empathetic by paying more attention to other people. Listen carefully when communicating with someone. Listen to both what she tells you and what she wants you to hear. By getting better at picking up and paying attention to what people are really trying to say, you become more empathetic.
6. Manage another person’s emotions – If you can manage the emotions of people around you, you have an impressive skill. You’ve probably seen leaders who can calm down or reassure an angry crowd. On the other hand, you’ve probably also seen how some people can mismanage the emotions of others. Think of the number of times a poorly prepared CEO of a company had to face the media in a time of crisis. By giving off the wrong body language, using the wrong tone of voice, or evading answers to questions, these leaders made people who were watching feel more annoyed or upset. Managing other people’s emotion can be achieved through increase of empathy and responding to them in the way you would want someone to respond to you.
7. Be socially responsible – Social responsibility is one of the highest levels of emotional experience. It demonstrates that you really care about others, especially those less fortunate. Being socially responsible isn’t about personal gain — it’s about what you can contribute to help other people.
8. Manage your own impulses – You can do this as stated in the book by; distracting yourself when you sense a problem, by being more analytic in your approach towards something and by having a specific number of coping thoughts.
9. Be more flexible – Change is part of growth and being emotionally intelligent involves knowing when to stick to and when to switch your emotional attachments. When it’s time to move on, people high in emotional intelligence can make that adjustment. Part of growing as a person involves learning new skills and approaches and experiencing new relationships and places. Be open to change for more productive ways.
10. Be happy - How happy are you? No, really, how happy are you, on a scale of 1 to 10? Are you a 5 or a 7? How about a 9? People high in emotional intelligence are happy people. And they’re not just happy because good things happen to them. Happiness (real happiness, which feels like a warm, steady glow inside your body), comes from the inside out. A person who manages this emotion well wakes up happy in the morning. And when he encounters challenges throughout the day, he can maintain a certain level of his happiness.
People prefer being around other people who are happy. Happy leaders have followers who are very engaged. You can find many advantages to being happy. People will appreciate you more and you can get through tough times. So, you can control your mood to serve your own purpose. Being emotionally intelligent involves knowing when to be happy, sad, excited, anxious, or even vigilant.
Finally, I really don’t think anyone should remain a dummy emotionally after reading this book and practicing its helpful techniques and exercises, except they decide to be.

5 . Walk in other person ’s Moccasins ( Empathy ) - Empathy is an extremely powerful emotion . Most successful politicians ( such as Bill Clinton ) , philanthropists ( such as Princess Diana ) , media personalities ( such as Oprah ) , and leaders in the community and business are high in empathy . Increasing your ability to empathize can help you get closer to others , win their support when you need it , and defuse potentially high - charged situations . By showing another person that you really understand where he ’s coming from , you gain a certain level of respect . You demonstrate that you ’re not self - centered .
You can start being more empathetic by paying more attention to other people . Listen carefully when communicating with someone . Listen to both what she tells you and what she wants you to hear . By getting better at picking up and paying attention to what people are really trying to say , you become more empathetic .
6 . Manage another person ’s emotions – If you can manage the emotions of people around you , you have an impressive skill . You ’ve probably seen leaders who can calm down or reassure an angry crowd . On the other hand , you ’ve probably also seen how some people can mismanage the emotions of others . Think of the number of times a poorly prepared CEO of a company had to face the media in a time of crisis . By giving off the wrong body language , using the wrong tone of voice , or evading answers to questions , these leaders made people who were watching feel more annoyed or upset . Managing other people ’s emotion can be achieved through increase of empathy and responding to them in the way you would want someone to respond to you .
7 . Be socially responsible – Social responsibility is one of the highest levels of emotional experience . It demonstrates that you really care about others , especially those less fortunate . Being socially responsible is n’t about personal gain — it ’s about what you can contribute to help other people .
8 . Manage your own impulses – You can do this as stated in the book by ; distracting yourself when you sense a problem , by being more analytic in your approach towards something and by having a specific number of coping thoughts .
9 . Be more flexible – Change is part of growth and being emotionally intelligent involves knowing when to stick to and when to switch your emotional attachments . When it ’s time to move on , people high in emotional intelligence can make that adjustment . Part of growing as a person involves learning new skills and approaches and experiencing new relationships and places . Be open to change for more productive ways .
10 . Be happy - How happy are you ? No , really , how happy are you , on a scale of 1 to 10 ? Are you a 5 or a 7 ? How about a 9 ? People high in emotional intelligence are happy people . And they ’re not just happy because good things happen to them . Happiness ( real happiness , which feels like a warm , steady glow inside your body ) , comes from the inside out . A person who manages this emotion well wakes up happy in the morning . And when he encounters challenges throughout the day , he can maintain a certain level of his happiness .
People prefer being around other people who are happy . Happy leaders have followers who are very engaged . You can find many advantages to being happy . People will appreciate you more and you can get through tough times . So , you can control your mood to serve your own purpose . Being emotionally intelligent involves knowing when to be happy , sad , excited , anxious , or even vigilant .

FM Invest are specialists in the banking sector. They rely on hard data. "The calculator does not lie" is the motto, which is meant to confirm the professionalism of services and the accuracy of decisions. For over 8 years, they have been supporting businesses and individual clients in the acquisition of capital and optimisation of the financing structure.
Our task consisted in creating a new brand identification, beginning with the development of the name and claim, through visual identification, ending with the preparation of the leaflet and website.
We used the word Finanzen to construct the name, in which we reduced the “an” element. We intentionally chose a German word. Firstly – it is a strong differentiator on the market, secondly – its origin is a strong synonym of the features sought after in financial consulting – certainty, quality, knowledge, experience, innovation, professionalism.
Finanzen German for finance – that is, the economic relations consisting of collecting, sharing and spending monetary resources, also commonly referred to as domestic budget management – i.e., household finances.
Zen – Zen is understood as a “calm mind”, “controlling the thinking process”, “assimilating concepts”. It is the concentration of your thoughts to a single point and contemplating the truth of life through the practice of sitting meditation. By practising Zen, the mind regains freshness and thinking becomes as transparent as water. In other words, Zen is a liberated conscience, tool and the final shelter.
We developed claim “Tailor-made Banking” that describes the brand’s philosophy and indicates its competitive advantage, and in turn, complements the name by directly communicating the business activities of Finzen.
Due to the grapheme structure of all the letters, the capital letters consist only of lines (vertical, horizontal and diagonal), as the basis of the logo we chose a one-piece font style. The letter “I” with a diagonal finial is a distinctive feature that alludes to the gold bar – a synonym of prosperity and profits. We used the gold texture and the convex frame of the letter “I” as an element of brand communication.
We designed a leaflet in DL format as the primary medium used in direct meetings of the advisors. The media presents the method of operation and arguments in favour of Finzen’s services.
We drew attention to the very high rotations in the financial advisory industry, where account managers change several times in a year, and the young age of consultants means the public increasingly less trusts the sector. Therefore, we chose the picture of an experienced advisor for the main page of the website, who sees on the opposite side a client and his/her needs, and not a commission table.
In creating the information architecture of the website, we clearly communicated the information that was most often discussed at meetings – the advantages of cooperation, the method of operation and remuneration.
We used the bevels not only to separate individual sections but also to expose the CTA, distinguishing them with gold texture.
During the development of the website, we prepared new sections. Our clients’ successes – is a section presenting case studies, as befits Finzen, the benefits were shown in the form of hard data – in tables.
On the other hand, long-term rental is a sub-page that explains to the recipient, what this service consists of, shows examples of implementations and indicates the differences between it and leasing. Also, the sub-page acts as a landing page for an advertising campaign in search engines.
For graphics published in social media, we prepared an individual layout, which thanks to the distinctive motifs allows you to distinguish between the posts and facilitate the identification of content published by Finzen. | FM Invest are specialists in the banking sector .
