I'm 21 and I was recently diagnosed (2 weeks ago). I've been going through the diagnosis process for about 2 years but when the psychologist told me I was on the spectrum, I burst out crying. I had expected it but it just made it real. I can't really explain how I felt. My mum was with me when the psychologist was going through the report of my results from the tests and explaining about Autism etc.
I was the one who suggested getting assessed as I always felt like there was something different about me. My family always thought I was just shy and that I would grow out of it but I got to a point where I just knew that it was more than shyness, I couldn't change how I am.
During the few weeks of my tests, my family were constantly saying that they didn't think I had Autism. I would tell them reasons as to why I thought I was Autistic and they would say stuff like "Don't be stupid" or "When I was your age I was quiet too!". They were probably trying to make me feel better but it was really invalidating.
Even after my diagnosis, I feel like they are still the same. Nobody has asked me questions about my Autism and how it makes me feel or how they can help accommodate me and make things more comfortable. I just feel like they are in denial about it. I'm very quiet and reserved so I think a lot of my symptoms are hidden and for the most part I understand what is socially acceptable. This probably makes it hard for them to believe I have Autism?
I'm trying to figure myself out still and a lot of things are making sense. The fact I hate sharing my things, or people touching my stuff and I really dislike water in my face. I've tried discussing this stuff with my parents but they brush it off and I feel like they think I am putting it on and being over dramatic. I am just discovering why I experience these things and everything is clicking and it makes me feel better thst there is actually a reason but I don't feel like I can discuss this with anyone.
I just feel very alone and that my family aren't even trying to understand my diagnosis and in fact are acting in a way that really isn't "autism friendly" :-(
Has anyone else had issues with this?
Sorry for the rambly post!
Hi there - and welcome to the community!
Don't apologise for the post. It was an interesting read, and chimed a lot with me.
It's natural to get mixed feelings with a diagnosis. Some people might feel like it's a burden to carry around. I was finally diagnosed two years ago, aged 56, and of course I often wonder how much difference it might have made to my life if I'd been diagnosed earlier - in childhood, preferably, as the signs were all there for anyone who knew what to look for. But it wasn't really known about then in the same way as it is now.
Overwhelmingly, though, the diagnosis has been been a positive thing for me. It's enabled me to make sense of my life at last. It's improved my mental health because now I have a context which can help me to explain my depressions and anxieties as very natural reactions to certain circumstances. Also, it has enabled me to request reasonable adjustments in the workplace. The positives, in that sense, outweigh the negatives for me.
On the other side of it - like you, I've experienced, and continue to experience, an unhelpful reaction from my family. My mother is the only person who understood, and whom I could talk to about it. Sadly, she's no longer with me. With the rest of my family, bar my niece, it's either never discussed - or it's regarded with suspicion. My brother, for instance - as you've experienced - tends to 'normalise' everything. 'I do that, too. Everyone does that.' and so on. He seems completely oblivious of the fact that he has a settled life with a nice income and house and a huge social circle, with friends dating back to his schooldays fifty years ago - whereas I (the only one in my family with a degree) work a minimum wage job, live in a rented flat, have a string of failed relationships behind me, and have NO friends (apart from the people on this forum). I don't feel lonely, though, because it's how I've been for most of my life, since I started to isolate from others around the age of 10. I generally, at that time, found other people to be difficult at best, hostile at worst. So it made sense to me to leave them to their own devices and focus on me and what I liked. I don't feel lonely, no... but I feel 'alone' in that sense of lack of understanding with my family. I tend not to worry about it too much. They can think what they like about me, as they certainly seem to like what they think - and little I can do is going to change that thinking. I've accepted that it kind of goes with the territory when you're talking about 'head' conditions - whether autism, mental illness, or combinations thereof.
You learn to live with people thinking you're being fussy, over-dramatic, 'delicate and sensitive'. I often think it would be so much different if you had a visible, physical condition that everyone seems to know about and can identify with. If I told my family I have cancer, for instance, they'd probably be all over me with offers of help and sympathy. As it stands, they leave me to it. And that suits me, really, as I've said.
Sorry... this is going to sound a little patronising and paternalistic... but you're young yet. There is a lot to learn as you go along, and I can understand how difficult it must feel just now. At your age, I knew there was something 'different' about me. I just wasn't like anyone else. I didn't go out much. I didn't make friends. I didn't understand what made other people tick. I've only in recent years learned about things like flirting, and other body language. I simply didn't 'get' them at the time. And I had long periods of anguish because of all this, because I didn't know why.
You've come to the right place. You'll be listened to here and taken seriously. It's a friendly community of peers, and we all listen to and help one another. Take a look around at some of the threads. And keep talking! We're kindred spirits in this journey.
All the best,
NAS24164 said:Has anyone else had issues with this?
I could have said just that, really, instead of my usual waffle!
Tom has pretty much said it all, Reading how you feel makes me very sad as I hate the thought of anyone suffering on there own, I have recently started giving out "virtual hugs" so here's one for you. I may have to change my user name to soft old thing! After all I'm a bloke aged 54 hard as nails! Yeah right?
Years of showing no emotion and hiding my feelings but being on here I feel people will understand.I started hugging my work mates,only the ones who were ill or very sad but it took them by surprise, if they give me a wired look I tell them it's the new me,I still don't hug females as it may be inappropriate and could get me into trouble.
I have told most that I am autistic,some say "makes sense mate" others belittle it and say"yeah but everyone does stuff like that" or worst of all "you can't be autistic as I know someone who is and they can't talk or rock back and forth or have tantrums about all sorts of little things.
Some I try to educate others are never going to change.
As I explain some of the key points they start to see how it is me and always has been.
I went through a process shared by many,shock,disbelief,anger,joy and lots of tears as my whole life was there in front of me to read, I now have to say I am not formerly diagnosed as even now I know I am but due to others casting doubt through ignorance I feel a fraud. That last sentence has reduced me to tears as I feel I have found my people but don't have a passport to prove it.
Right deep breath,,,,,,,,,I cannot wait to see your chosen user name,make it cheerful if you like,as you can see your so called ramble is nothing compared to some of us ha ha, join in and be part of our colourful world, you are never alone here.
take care.
I don't have a passport either...
keep giving out those virtual hugs and hang in there
Thanks x have a hug,
Cheers...have one back...
and here's one for Mr T ...
Welcome. You exactly described my families response to my diagnoses. I am very alone sometimes that's a blessing. But I also get very lonely too which is a different thing altogether. I haven't yet worked out how to deal with the family thing as you describe. I have come to the conclusion that we can ask for accommodation at work/school/college but not so easy in the family unless you are lucky. It is quite fascinating in some ways to find out things about ourselves which seem totally unrelated but actually fit together. I hope as you are able to use your new knowledge to help you find ways to make a difference. At 21 I too had long since felt I didn't fit in and it doesn't feel good does it.. Some areas of the country have more support than others and for different age groups. It would be worth you checking up on the nas website to see if there is anything in your area..
hey I am three years older than you and was very recently diagnosed also! my parents had always suspected asperges but never aced upon that because like you I was shy and reserved and they didn't think I was suffering however I was. the best thing you can do is be patient read up on it get some outside support but more than anything accept yourself for who you are and don't see it as a negative.

Upgraded Serial Number
Hello. I upgraded into windows 7 from one of my computers at home. I need to know which serial number I upgraded from because I [EDIT: NEED TO] reformat and now I need to go through the process of installing the old operating system, then doing a clean install of win7 while the old operating system is installed and registered. So is there any registry trick or stored file somewhere that I can retrieve which of my old windows numbers I upgraded from?
Rant: This process is somewhat frustrating

What kind of win7 install disk do you have? Is it retail or upgrade?
|My System Specs

If by upgrade you mean, is it upgrade only, then yeah, it is upgrade only which is why I have to install my old operating system before I re-upgrade. If by retail you mean did I get it from walmart, then its retail.
Oops I made a mistake in my original post. I still have my windows 7 install but it is not yet reformatted, so from it I would like to retrieve the key I used to upgrade it. I know which windows 7 key I used, but not the one from before that.

"He's had quite a life and he's only 3," said Lisa Gregg. "And I keep saying we just want to get him home. He's three. Things can be smoother."
But how quickly they can bring him home is now in question. All the paperwork filed on the adoption may have been lost. She's grateful he's OK- but concerned about his immediate future.
"I am pretty clear headed and then you get an email that says they have three days of water," said Gregg.
Just a month ago, Gregg traveled to Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, to meet Nelson, the lively 3-year-old she and her husband hope to adopt. Kim Lewen is also in the process of adopting two sisters, 1 and 3 years old.
"You think the worst things. And of course, you want to be there because you should. Because they're your children. And you should be with them," said Kim Lewen.
Adoption-Link out of Oak Park, Ill., -- one of six agencies in the U.S. that work with orphanages in Haiti-- arranged the adoptions for Gregg and Lewen. Both of the facilities the agency works have only minor damage. But, they are running out of food and water.
"We had recently shipped a giant sea container full of supplies and that was in customs at Port-Au-Prince and all those supplies are gone because of destruction or looting," said Heather Breems, Adoption-Link.
Another problem- the documents may have been lost.
"Probably all the documents were in the office in Port-Au-Prince, which has now collapsed, so we're working very hard to find a way to issue a new visa and passport here within the U.S. so that all we need is someone to go and grab the little girl and she can come home," said Breems.
And while there will be disruptions for children already in the process of being adopted, the earthquake has undoubtedly left many other children without parents.
"We expect great numbers of children are going to be deemed orphans and are going to need adoptive families," said Julie Tye, CEO, The Cradle.
Tye says the graphic images of destruction from Haiti will likely move many people to want to help by adopting newly orphaned children. But they will need patience."The evacuation, for example, parents may be looking for them. So we really have to find out are these kids truly parentless," said Tye.
Experts warn crises such as the one in Haiti is going through attract scam artists and say families should go through established adoption agencies.

At the Dental Art Implant Clinic we have only one goal: to create beautiful Hollywood smiles for a fraction of the price. We are experts in restoring and replacing damaged or missing teeth and enhancing our clients' smiles with a natural beauty. We pride ourselves on our professional high standards and our team of dental experts can resolve difficult, complex and even life-long dental problems, bringing you the confidence that only comes with a dazzling smile. These are just some of the solutions we provide.
Click on the treatment options below to view more information about them!
A crown is usually the best option for broken or damaged teeth, as not only will it restore the aesthetic look of your smile, but will also protect the tooth from further damage by encasing it in a protective shell. After the crown has been fitted, you will be able to use your teeth as normal. Crowns are usually zirconium or porcelain fused to a metal base.
To fit a new crown, we firstly take an overall impression of the teeth to estimate the shape of the crown, keeping it as close to your natural teeth as possible. We will then fit you with a temporary crown until your new one is ready. If you require several dental crowns, Dental Bridge Treatment can be provided. During this treatment a dental bridge is installed which consists of several dental crowns and a fake tooth (teeth). This treatment will help allocating the bite force correctly and restore the ability to speak properly.
All of our crown work is guaranteed for between 1-3 years.
Please note - if you have an implant, you will need a crown fitted over a dental abutment.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal surgery always sounds intimidating, but don't be afraid; you should not feel any more pain than when having a simple filling. It is essential to have root canal work if your teeth are infected and/or decayed. The procedure involves removing the diseased nerve and pulp and cleaning the root canal of the tooth before filling it with material and sealing it. After the surgery, the tooth can be fitted with a crown to strengthen the remaining structure and prevent infection. A tooth which has received root canal treatment can still decay if not looked after properly, so oral hygiene is essential following this procedure.
Dentures are sets of removable false teeth used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They help ensure that you maintain a natural look and the functions of normal teeth. Depending on how many natural teeth you are missing, our experts will offer you partial or full dentures. We can also provide you with temporary crowns that can be placed on the same day as soon as the teeth extraction treatment has been completed.
For the perfect Hollywood smile, correct teeth alignment is an absolute must. Our orthodontic surgeons can re-align crooked adult teeth, as well as children's teeth, using orthodontic treatment methods available at our clinics.
At our clinics we offer several orthodontic treatment options such as braces (metal and clear braces), retainers and Invisalign treatment.
The length of time varies with each individual patient, so to find the best solution for you, simply book a free consultation with one of our orthodontists.
Hygiene (Scale & Polish)
At our clinics we can provide you with Full Dental Hygiene Treatment including Full Deep Scale and Polish Treatment. A bright and healthy smile is important. Using these treatments we will improve the look and health of your teeth and gums.
In order to restore a tooth has been damaged by decay, tooth filling treatment method is commonly used. Dental experts at our clinics will remove the decayed tooth material, clean the infected areas and use high quality filling material to close up the gaps. This will prevent further entry of bacteria.
Teeth Whitening
At our clinics we provide laser whitening and Phillips Zoom Take Home whitening for those who wish to improve the look of their teeth at home. Both options will require a consultation with our dental experts. This will help select the best treatment method and type ensuring the best result.
Veneers fit over existing teeth and give the appearance of a natural smile as they are very thin and can be fitted very close to the gum line. To place a veneer, only a small amount of a natural tooth will need to be shaved back. This will be done under local anaesthetic.

What People Think
I spend so much time on the road driving to clients, it helps alot to be able to listen to these words when I don't have time to stop and read. This, plus study guides and quizlet flash cards is really helpful!
Listening to the flash cards is my favorite! It really boosts my confidence when I do well listening to the flash cards while I drive. I'm glad it comes in multiple file formats. Hooking it up to bluetooth speakrs I listen to it at home while I'm studying too.
I like listening to the audio book while I'm at the gym while I'm working out and on the treadmill. I'm trying to do nothing but think ABA right now and it helps a lot, I listen to less music now and Netflix. It's nothing but ABA right now, and hopefully it's worth it. I failed last time but feel more confident now

There are so many different ways that you can handle your YouTube account. You could either think that you are just doing this as a hobby, and you are happy with how it has been going. If you are doing YouTube as a hobby, then you are not going to worry too much about how you are progressing the account or how many views you are getting. You just want to do this for fun, and that is what it is about for you. But there are other people who may have some other priorities.
If you are in a position where you are thinking that you just want your account to get elevated to a new level, you are probably wondering how you are going to make this happen. You are probably wondering whether you can make this work, and you are worried that you will never make a living with YouTube. But that is not what we see when we look at so many content creators and how they managed to boost their channels. We know that you have the potential to take this to a new level. You just have to make sure that you are getting to that high level.
One of the things that you may be able to do is buy YouTube subscribers and views. You may be thinking that if you buy YouTube subscribers it is not going to help you very much, but we can explain precisely how things are going to go. What is going to happen is that you are going to take your channel, and it is going to get elevated to a brand new level. What happens is that instead of having videos where you just have 400 or 500 views, you are going to increase that 10 or 20-fold. And that is what we want to achieve.
Let us say that you have the small view numbers right now. Then you can buy subscribers and views, and this will make the videos that you put up seem very popular. If you are wanting to get those organic views, people will search for related keywords and they are going to see that you are up there with the best. They are going to check your account and they are going to watch your videos. If you have some good content, they are most definitely going to want to watch more of what you have to offer.
Remember that when we are telling you about these methods, we are not saying that it is going to work 100 percent. That is just not how it works. There are no guarantees in the YouTube world. Let us say that you have done this method a few times and you are not progressing. Now you may have to think about redoing your content. You may have to think about ways that you can either improve the content you are creating, or how you are producing it. Whether it is your editing or the content, you will have to improve.

This page contains frequently asked questions about AF-disks.
If you want to understand the AF-disk's properties we recommend to read the
background first.
1. Can the wrong volume alignment damage the computer?
– No. The alignment affects only the performance of AF-disk.
2. I use Vista or Windows 7. Is it possible to meet with wrong alignment?
– Yes, it is possible in rare cases. For example, AF-disk has been partitioned with outdated software
or system has been upgraded from Windows XP.
3. I use Linux. Is it possible to meet with wrong alignment?
– Yes. The alignment requirements is caused by hardware of AF-disk.
This problem can appear in any operation system.
4. What software can be used to correct the wrong alignment ?
The disk manufacturers offers the free align tools for its devices:
5. Why DiskAT has no information for my external disk?
– Some USB-boxes cannot transfer the required information from disk.
You can try to use another USB-box or attach the disk to internal ATA-port of computer.
6. Volume has status "assumed aligned". What does this mean ?
– Such volume is placed on AF-disk with unknown offset. The offset can be unknown for external disk by reasons mentioned in question #5.
Also there are disk models that don't report about offset on ATA IDENTIFY command.
For example, disk WD6400AARS-00Y5B1 with firmware 80.00A80 has such misbehavior.
As a rule the offset equals to zero. Therefore if offset is unknown then DiskAT checks the alignment in conjecture the offset is zero.
The volumes processed in this way have special markup assumed aligned and assumed not aligned.
The status assumed aligned is assigned to the volumes that have right alignment in case of zero offset.
In the same way status assumed not aligned is for wrong aligned volumes if conjecture is true.
DiskAT versions before 1.0.7 show the unknown-offset volumes with no information status.
7. Can the alignment test damage the disk settings or data ?
– DiskAT doesn't use the commands that modify the settings or data of the disk.
However some old models of USB-boxes can hang at alignment information query. In this case the volumes of disk
can disappear from explorer or/and the volumes are seen as RAW in Disk Management window. To restore disk availability
one need to disconnect and power off the device for a few seconds.

Anointing 9/11
- 228 Downloads
As a psychiatrist treating veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder in the New Jersey Veterans Healthcare system and a violist, I seek to combine the two fields by playing music for veterans' events and ceremonies. I was inspired to write this poem about the 9/11 Memorial in New York City, after performing there Veterans Day weekend as part of the commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. It was a cold and breezy November day, but that did not hinder countless visitors from paying homage to those who lost their lives on that fateful date. The musical selections chosen, from Amazing Grace and Nearer My God to Thee to the Largo "Going Home" theme from Dvorak's New World Symphony, sought to honor both the Vietnam veterans and the victims of 9/11. The reflecting pools at the 9/11 site, which serve as a somber reminder of the staggering loss and emptiness of that tragic day, presented me with conflicting emotions. Contemplating the finality of the deaths was overwhelming, but at the same time, I believed the flowing water symbolized the renewal of life. As I touched one of the victim's names on the side of a reflecting pool, I imagined a widow touching her husband's inscription and the unbearable sorrow she must feel knowing that she would never be able to kiss him again. Yet, there was also a chance that her grief could be transformed by a visual remembrance of his life. After the ceremony, wind blew misty drops from the reflecting pools, as though the drops were holy water sprinkled at Mass. As the water brushed my face, I was moved by the spiritual meaning of this place and of the solemn connection to those who perished and of those left behind.

Every night and every day
I never forget to pray
To seek help from God above
Who is always there to understand.
I say a prayer for you each day
To help you spiritually
By asking God to help you grow
In everything you wanted to.
I also pray that God will be
Giving you wisdom and rationality
To be used in your studies and life
Without leading you to a restless night.

ZS: You enter this next game averaging 23.6 PPG and six assists, a guy who loves to attack the rim and get into the teeth of the defense. How did you develop to make this the true identity of your game?
NM: Really, I just always liked driving to the basket. I first started scoring the ball that way and added a floater and was able to go to the rim with the contact.
What I also love about it is that when I get inside the defense really comes at me, so I have the option to kick the ball out to the shooters. Every time I get the ball I speed it up, I try to operate a fast pace game because we are a small team and we can get easy baskets that way.
I like driving to the basket and try to score with a floater or go to the contact and when I drive in the pain the defense comes at me so I can pass it out to the shooters , Every time I get the ball I push the ball very fast because we are a small team so my teammates can get easy basket.
ZS: How does your style of play, getting to the rim with ease and fighting to get inside the lane, match what coach (Derrick) De La Grana preaches for this team's offensive flow?
NM: It fit perfectly with Coach D. Coach D wants me to push the ball all the time and get to the rim all the time, because that's my style of play, I'm an energy guy. So, he tells me to go to the rim and to score the ball and make sure I find open guys like Nathanael (Jack) who can knock down shots. Basically, he wants me to be aggressive all the time and play with the energy I known I can always bring to the table.
ZS: How do you guys expect to fill the loss of Zach Brown, who had been averaging a double-double as a major 7-foot-2 presence?
NM: Zach Brown was a very good factor for us and really helping us inside, where he can impact both sides of the floor. But you know, we have some good players all around and obviously with Nate (Jack) as a leader, we're trying to score more points and to be more active defensively.
It's just a matter of everyone chipping in and doing these things, getting rebounds, making good passes and scoring the ball. We're just trying to fill the loss by committee. Now, with him out, we have to maximize our effort on both ends of the court to keep up what we had going.
ZS: Which NCAA programs have expressed interest in you, and who do you currently hold scholarship offers from?
NM: Right now I have no offers but I have interest from schools such as Lafayette, Charleston Southern, Florida International, Richmond, Tulsa, and UNC Asheville.
ZS: How does your team expect to prepare for an upcoming game against a very talented Oldsmar Christian team, perhaps one of the SIAA's top-shelf teams?
NM: To be honest, every game is the same for me as far as giving my best. It doesn't matter what the name on the other jersey is. Obviously, though, when we play good teams such as Oldsmar with some top notch players I just want to show everybody what I'm capable of doing against big time players and I like the challenge. At the end, the victory is all that matters and that's what were all looking for against Oldsmar.

*removing dust from his taiko drum
Here we go for another taiko game !
....and some carpal tunnel
no drum no action....
Sweet, now I'm glad I have that Taiko drum from DealExtreme sitting on my shelf doing nothing. Shame the girlfriend has the Wii.
Must play this game Hopefully not some childish japanese music on it.
Wow thank you very much! I love taiko series (Oni mode for me =D )
A party Taiko no Tatsujin? EPIC!
If I only had 4 Taiko Drums...
oh snap !!
* do you need a drum to play it ?? *
if you do then where can one import one...i'm a big Taiko fan !!
* never played it on the wii before *
Nope, actually not, I think you can also play just using a Wiimote with the buttons and maybe with Nunchuck+Wiimote w/ Motion Sensing, but I'm not sure about that.
What's certain though is that having the Taiko Drums makes the game a lot better
You don't need the drum to play, you can use the wiimote or the classic controller to play.
But buying a taiko for the wii is a good investment since there is now 3 taiko games avalaible on it.
I love the taiko games. I just got my wii component cable so this game looks extra nice on my tv
so no motion sensing in this title either? I thought to have read they were going to implement it from this one on.
You can buy the import from: http://taikomasters.blogspot.com/2010/10/t...de-party-3.html

By crafting your performances, you're developing your own intellectual property. Fine-tuned IP alone can be tweaked to such a degree that you can be ready to move into a new phase of business or authorship.
Yes, that's right: by rooting yourself into the Grad School, you might wind up blooming with book material.
It can change, influence and improve your entire business model (a surprise outcome most don't expect or even imagine as a possibility).
Between a keynote, a potential new line of business, and a book idea, you can become a triple-threat in the speaking industry.
Michael Port has written six books, including Book Yourself Solid and Steal the Show, the latter which—according to the former President of Starbucks—"might be the most unique and practical book ever written on the topic of public speaking."
He's been called an "uncommonly honest author" by the Boston Globe, a "marketing guru" by The Wall Street Journal, a "sales guru" by the Financial Times, "a public speaking phenom" by Jonathan Fields and "the best public speaking coach in the world" by Lewis Howes. The founder of MastermindTalks, Jayson Gaignard, declared, "Michael Port is the best speaker I've ever seen."
His books have been on the bestseller lists of the NY Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today and Publisher's Weekly and have been selected by Amazon and 800-CEO-READ as "best books of the year."
He was once a professional actor, having received his MFA from NYU's Graduate Acting Program, guest starring on shows like Sex & The City and Law & Order, and in films like The Pelican Brief and Down to Earth.
These days, Michael can be seen on MSNBC, CNBC, and PBS as an on air expert in communication and business development and as the host of the most popular podcast on public speaking and performance, Steal the Show with Michael Port.
Amy Port is the Co-Founder and Director of Training of Heroic Public Speaking. As Director of Training, Amy's work extends from the execution of corporate training packages, to development of CEO keynotes, private master classes and coaching.
After earning her MFA in Acting from The Yale School of Drama, Amy spent years acting professionally in theaters such as Seattle Repertory, Oregon Shakespeare and Yale Rep, and working consistently in commercials. She now applies the skills of performance that only well-trained actors know to the coaching of 'non-actors' looking to crush their sales presentations, to make their voices heard in TED Talk style presentations, and to take the big stage keynoting major conferences.
Geoffrey H. Garrett, a senior attorney at Byrd Garrett Wealth Preservation, said
"As a military pilot and B-747 captain over a forty-year career, I received every kind of skill-specific training and encountered every sort of teacher. I consider Amy to be, hands down, the best trainer-coach I have ever met. I cannot recommend her services highly enough."
In 2017, we opened the doors to The Heroic Public Speaking Headquarters, a space designed specifically with Graduate School in mind. Of course, there are breakout rooms and a large space to rehearse. But beyond that, we want you to feel at home. We have comfy couches to sprawl out at as you create content and a local coffee shop across the street to get you up on your feet. With an oversupply of USB outlets for electronics, conference tables, and spaces to store your luggage galore, we've thought of how to fill up each nook to make your lives (and your travels) as accessible as possible. It's versatile to intimate group conversations and larger rehearsals. In short, HPS HQ is a beautiful space to work, be inspired, and expand your craft.
HPS HQ is in Lambertville, NJ, a quaint historical town brimming with artists and hiking trails. It's equal distance from both Philadelphia and Newark airports. A place bursting with delicious food and independent shops, Lambertville encapsulates a blend of charm and community.
We can talk all day about how great the program can be for you on both professional and personal levels. But we don't have to―this group can tell you how it's inspired them and provided forward motion.
We are happy to introduce you to our past and current students so you can hear it directly from them and ask them questions you might not feel comfortable asking us. If you'd like that, send us an email
at email@example.com and we'll make the intros. We have hundreds of testimonials, and here are a few to give you a sense of our community.
"[At a recent talk], I felt super confident and calm because I knew my material and I knew the basics of how I needed to feel in my body to create the connection, change and impact that I was there to bring them thanks to Amy Port and Michael Port for giving permission to not fret it and just go for it with the skills in my back pocket!"
"I have been speaking for over 15 years and never felt like it was my message to the world which was holding great value until I was able to attend HPS Grad and work through everything, from what I say to how I say it. I have tied in my vision and values to my voice. It is a wonderful transformation."
"The class gave me lots of confidence to branch out into other areas outside of public speaking. For example, I just launched an online course for parents. I would have never done that before HPS. Attending HPS graduate school was one of the best decisions I made in my 19 years in business. Professional development doesn't get much better than this."
"We make the most progress when we are taken out of our day-to-day world and dropped into an unexpected place like HPS Grad School. Here, creativity is rewarded, hard work is applauded, and feedback is honest and helpful. It is exactly what I needed to renew my ability to communicate persuasively. Just try to find that anywhere else."
"Overall, building of the team and bringing the group together to work together over time. This is a group that will be helpful for many years to come."
"I went into HPS Graduate School with the intent of developing and rehearsing a keynote speech and what I got was so much more. Not only did I learn how to perform when I speak, but I found a new method of communication that I never thought possible. This has helped transform so many areas of my life from webinars, to presentations and even Facebook live sessions. HPS helped take my business to the next level!"
"To anyone who has the remotest inkling that they might want to participate in the HPS Graduate School when next offered: All I can say is invest the dollars, free up your schedule and GO FOR IT! The rewards will be a gazillion fold."
"I had the pleasure of training with Amy Port and Michael Port, and it transformed how I see the world, interact with people, where I live and how I love. In short, it made me a better person. Not only transforming technical speaking skills, but overcoming fears I didn't even know I had, crushing hesitations, awakening a sleeping right brain, and embracing the quirky, sassy bits that corporate America had stuffed into a bottle. Michael pushed, questioned and pushed some more until not only my speaking and writing skills improved but my business trajectory took a GIANT leap forward. More importantly, they created a community that genuinely supports each other and came to love each other. If you are yearning to go to HPS Grad School, I highly recommend it."
"I live every day to be a part of something bigger than myself. I succeeded when I joined Heroic Public Speaking LIVE in Florida and continued with the Heroic Public Speaking Grad School. Do yourself and the world a favor by getting the training from Michael Port and Amy Port to share and spread your message with the world. You'll be so happy you did, I promise you that!"
"The aftermath of HPS Grad School is more like an afterglow. Because of all the incredible coaching I've received from Amy & Michael, the support of their spectacular team, and with all the encouragement of my new friends, I feel ready to perform for an audience and demonstrate how to live heroically."
"For me, and I think for most of us in the previous Grad School session, it's been life-changing. That's not an exaggeration. Together we reached new levels of courage and vulnerability. The environment Michael Port and Amy Port create gives us the safety to be who we really are, to show up more and the vision to become even more. It's a beautiful unfolding."
"It has been such a joy to be part of Michael and Amy's Heroic Public Speaking Grad School. Michael, I have been blessed to have you as my mentor and inspiration over the last two years. And, doubly, I have learned so much from both of you and Amy over the last few months. Thank you both. I have also met so many incredible people. And I have been part of such a great accountability team."
"Thanks again and again to Michael and Amy Port for not giving up on me and pushing me through to the end. I'm so thankful I pulled through with it. You guys have worked miracles in my life."
"Michael and Amy are so incredibly generous with their time and gifts. And they're amazing role models for how to be. It's wonderful to see and begin to emulate the joy, love, and generosity the two of you have for your students. Thank You."
"The training and coaching at the Heroic Public Speaking is top notch and the experience is transforming. Michael and Amy always gave me exactly what I needed right when I needed it so that I could grow. Grad School gave me a whole new world to grow into, and it expanded my confidence and skillset as a speaker in all situations."
"I use the techniques that I learned observing Amy and Michael to keep the sessions interactive and engaging. I am certain that the experience our participants had, was 100% better because of my HPS work. I was able to deliver the message from the heart and could connect with each person in the group. Michael and Amy - both of you made a big difference in our community through me. Thank you very much."
"I knew this was going to be a game-changer for me - and still, the Heroic Public Speaking Graduate School program exceeded those expectations. The content, the faculty, the process, the community - all created an amazing experience that continues to provide immeasurable value."
"HPS Grad School was a fabulous experience! Even though I speak regularly as part of what I do for work, my experience at HPS has enabled me to take my skills to another level. Thank you Michael and Amy and your faculty of HPS experts for your guidance, support and energy - it has made a difference in how I approach my work as a speaker and how I impact my audiences."
"Best education I've received in my life. I now have a road map to be a professional public speaker. Thank you Michael & Amy."
"The HPS Grad School was an incredible experience and significantly more valuable at helping me become a top notch professional speaker than I ever imagined. Amy and Michael are outstanding teachers, coaches, and examples of what it takes to be great at public speaking."
"Grad School was the largest financial investments I've ever made outside of starting my company. I made it knowing it was what I needed to elevate my speaking from a free/part-time paid, into a full-time career. The experience changed not only the keynote I was working on - elevating it to new heights - but me as an individual in what I believe I'm capable of from the stage and the power in words. It has been one of the best experiences in my life."
"Michael Port and Amy Port have transformed my life through the Heroic Public Speaking Grad School. The first time I got on my feet during Grad, I was so frozen with fear that I couldn't recall the first line of my speech even though it was based on a story about my family that I'd told dozens of times. Amy's intervention in that moment changed everything. She, and later Michael, helped me discover and refine my gift for acting and improv, which has become a source of true delight and has noticeably increased my self-confidence as a public speaker and human being. I now feel very much at home on stage. Michael and Amy helped me find my voice (along with a family of colleagues that continue to inspire, teach and support me)."
"A friend invited me to a local Toastmasters meeting a couple of days ago. I was asked to do one of the table topics, where you are given a question and you have 1-2 minutes to provide an impromptu answer. At the end of the meeting one of the members asked me "Are you an actor?" "No," I said. "I'm an HPS graduate!"
"When I recently got on stage, I was able to perform despite my fear because I've just kept rehearsing, learning, and striving. Knowing that Michael, Amy, and my fellow Grad students had my back made all the difference. Thank you for giving me the support and a safe place to pursue this dream."
"I want to express my gratitude for being part of this remarkable group of people. Because I've gotten to feel your passion as your speeches emerge from you. Because the stories you tell reveal some of the most intimate aspects of your life. Because you have given so generously of your thoughts and experiences and advice and feedback as I work through my own speech. Because you have kindly solicited my advice and thoughts. Because no matter what your backgrounds, cultures, politics, you've coalesced into a group of friends and mutual supporters. Because a warm love suffuses the group. And, of course, I must acknowledge that all of this grows from and is nurtured by the genuine love and caring of Michael Port and Amy Port, our mentors, guides, friends, confidants, advisors, directors, supporters. You have my eternal gratitude."
"While my goals may be different from others in our class, I could not be more grateful for making the choice to join the HPS Master's Program. The investment I made in the Master's Program is quite small in comparison to what I would have paid a marketing or PR firm to develop "their" version of what I already knew, but couldn't articulate. This has been the biggest focus group I could have imagined, and I'm now ready to develop a plan and roll out the new concepts and messaging."
"The lesson I'm getting is just doing things, trying things, seeing what works, seeing how it feels differently in my body, listening, pushing through the unknowns to create something new. I watched so many of the Grad students do that and I'm so impressed with how everyone is growing and finding their voices in new ways. Thank you Michael and Amy and the other awesome teachers. You all show up with so much generosity."
"Having given forty paid speeches last year, I was astounded at the value I found, and the strategies to uplevel my speaking business."
"Thank you, Michael and Amy, from the bottom of my heart for all the time, energy and love you invested in us. Grad school was really a very remarkable experience! I began to mellow out over time, in large part due to your kind guidance. I've grown to finally accept the fact that the creative process is messy, it's never done and never going to be perfect. Your team has remarkable individuals, and everyone was so helpful and willing to go the extra mile to keep us informed and on track: a testament to your leadership and ability to find quality people to support you."
"Thank you for the incredible contribution you both have made to my life and work at Live, Grad School, DFY, Book Retreat, and BYS. It all ties together to help me see what I have to contribute to the world and how to express it effectively. More than anything, I have been able to overcome persistent negative self-talk and replace it with positive self-talk about my gift to the people I'm meant to serve."

Guest blogging comes with many advantages some bloggers might not think of or realize. While taking the first step into guest blogging can be risky, whether submitting your own guest post or accepting them for your own blog, there are still several reasons you should consider guest blogging.
1. Targeted Traffic
If you find that you aren't receiving the amount of traffic you had hoped, or feel you have worked hard for, consider guest blogging. How does guest blogging bring in targeted traffic? Suppose there are several blogs you read on a daily basis. Have you ever considered writing for them? Find out if they accept guest posts and submit a proposal if they do. Once your guest post is published on their website readers will be able to learn more about the author, you, through the resource or author box.
People who click on the link you provide in the author box will be targeted traffic right to your site. It's important that your resource box is created properly so that readers will understand what your site is about and what it is you do. The readers you want to click on your link are those who have an interest in the information you provide. Whatever niche you cater to, it's important to reach a targeted audience if you want to reach potential subscribers, buyers, etc.
2. Authority Development
When first starting out on the web, it's hard to develop your niche authority among the many others already published online. Gaining authority consists of many different factors, including guest blogging. Guest blogging on other blogs helps you develop your authority and show readers you know what you're talking about and can be trusted. Readers prefer blogs that they know they can trust and that won't provide false or misleading information. When readers see your photo accompanied by your many guest posts, and see just how many guest posts you have written they will have higher trust in your authority.
3. Improved Writing
Guest blogging has and always will be a way to improve your writing skills. Even if you feel that your writing skill is advanced, you might be surprised to find out just how much guest blogging can help you increase your present writing skill. Gain an insight to different writing styles and improve your vocabulary through guest posts.
4. More Exposure
In order to find your own true audience (readers), you need to make people aware of your blog. If you like the sound of free exposure then you should consider guest blogging. By guest posting for a variety of popular blogs people will become aware of you and your site. Suppose a person found your website through a search engine. They visited and because you had yet to accumulate any comments on your posts, they decided to look elsewhere on the web for their answer. Now suppose this same person visited a more popular blog and found their answer that you wrote as a guest post on that popular blog. Are they likely to continue visiting your site? Yes, and most likely they will visit and leave a comment about seeing your guest post or the post they are commenting on. Think of it as shopping. Would you buy something from a store that you had never heard of and couldn't find any information about it online? Probably not. That's a big risk. The same goes for a person trusting a new blog that is in the beginning stages and still growing a loyal reader base.
5. Blogging Break
For anyone who has managed a blog for any period of time you realize how important it can be to take a break from your blog. Managing a site or blog is time consuming and even more so if you have other responsibilities that need the same attention. Accepting guest posts offers that much needed break to give your brain a rest and recuperate. Consider this when you feel you have too many things going at once and need some help with your blog content. Having others creating high quality content for you benefits both you and the writer.
While guest blogging can have disadvantages, it seems to reason that the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Guest blogging is recommended for those looking for more targeted traffic, more exposure, more readers and more subscribers.

Great apartment, spotless and everything you could need was there. Caroline very helpful and easy to contact before and during our stay. Would book again.
Apartment itself has a lovely atmosphere - great place to relax, comfy sitting area, good-sized bedrooms and large balcony accessed from sitting area and main bedroom. We cook in as much as we eat out and everything you needed was there (and new from Ikea!). Washing machine a bonus. Complex is very well maintained and set out so you feel quite private and always very quiet. Pool never busy or noisy and sunbeds usually available virtually anytime we went down. Had hire car for 2 weeks and always managed to park near apartment. Two smallish supermarkets very nearby.
Communication and directions from owners were really good. Definitely recommend.

Gridley teacher loses teenage son to opioid overdose
CHICO, Calif. - What started as a simple treatment for a common ailment, ended in a deadly addiction for Anne Sisney's 19-year-old son in 2015.
Anne described William as gentle, selfless and an all-around great kid, whose life was cut too short. It all started when William was prescribed Oxycontin, an opiate, to treat shingles.
"They get a prescription for opioids, for a legitimate reason and then they can't stop taking it," Sisney explained.
It's what happened when William turned 18. "I don't get to spend birthdays with my son anymore," she cried. "He would have been 22 [years old] this August."
Instead, William's life ended abruptly.
"He had come home in his car, I don't know how he got..." Sisney trailed off. "He died in his car, outside of the house, and I was out of town."
She said it only took a year for William to change from a normal teenager to an addict. "But that's when he needed me, and even though it was hard to watch, you know, I needed to be there for my son, I wanted to fight for his life."
For nearly five months, they fought together. William had graduated from 30 days in rehab and seemed to be progressing. But Anne said she saw the signs when they returned. It was the sleepiness, the irritability, that told her William had relapsed.
"Just, you know, that brightness is gone from their eyes and that's the only way I can explain it," Anne said. "It was about a week, I'd say, maybe two weeks and he was gone."
She lost her pride and joy, then had to deal with isolation from the very people she thought would provide comfort.
"People just don't want to talk to you, if your kid dies from an overdose. So not only are you mourning the loss of your son, but you're isolated because there's a level of shame that goes with addiction, that isn't fair."
By speaking out, Anne hopes to eliminate that stigma and raise awareness that this is a reality that can happen to anyone. "I want people to know that I am the face of the opioid crisis, my son, William, is the face of the opioid crisis and we're everyday people. You know, I'm a teacher."
She said she believes it's difficult for the government to help because this is such a complex problem, especially since its treatment almost always includes a relapse.
Her hope is that health care will continue to provide full coverage of the therapy and rehabilitation needed to overcome the addiction or support the families of those who were taken by one.

We're really keen to use as much local content as possible while constructing, operating and maintaining Rampion.
In order to increase the input of local suppliers, we formed a Supply Chain Steering Group with local authority partners in 2011 and our work together included a Meet the Buyer event where almost 300 companies attended to find out more. We've subsequently held another event to introduce local suppliers to our Tier 1 contractors for the cable route and onshore substation, and will be holding further events for other work packages.
We have established a dedicated website www.sussexwindenergy.org.uk to seek to maximise opportunities for local suppliers. If you would like further information, please visit the SWE website using the link above.

5 months overall construction schedule based on a $1.75M project valueProject
The King County Public Health Center was a fun and rewarding project for Redhawk. Buffalo Design created an open, vibrant, welcoming space to serve the public's health needs. The structure consisted of a lobby and reception/check-in, a training room which could be split into two rooms, two separate medical examination halls, office space with a few offices and cublicles, and a lunch/break room for employees. The two medical sections were Family Planning and Women and Children. These two sections needed to be separated due to financing the medical center receives from outside parties.Result

The conference this year is hosted by Linnaeus University Centre for Data Intensive Sciences and Applications (DISA). We have invited researchers from our own Centre to present some of the work that has taken place within DISA this past year and Keynote and invited talks from other universities.
First invited talk: Kristoffer Laigaard Nielbo, Associate professor at Aarhus University
The research by Kristoffer Laigaard Nielbo covers two areas of interest of which one is more recent (automated text analysis) and the other (modeling of cultural behavior). Both interests explore the cultural information space in new and innovative ways by combining cultural data and humanities theories with statistics, computer algorithms, and visualization. We feel honored to welcome Kristoffer Laigaard Nielbo to the conference since one of our focus areas within DISA is Data-Intensive Digital Humanities.
Registration will open in September

The Sweds know a thing or two about simple yet functional design, perfect example - The String Shelf. This modular wall mounted shelving system can be configured into almost any size and shape. I see the String Pocket more and more in childrens room on Pintrest. It is the perfect size to display collections and small toys. The larger shelves can also be configured to create a wall-mounted desk area with plenty of storage space, which is perfect for small spaces. I love that is comes in so many different colors as well, my favorite being yellow and white.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich accused special counsel Robert Mueller on Thursday of trying to destroy, undermine and cripple Donald Trump's presidency.
Gingrich posted his tweets after The Washington Post reported Wednesday night that Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russian officials now expanded to include a probe into whether Trump committed obstruction of justice with his firing of former FBI Director James Comey last month. "If he wants to fire the Federal Bureau of Investigation director, all he has to do is fire him", said Gingrich in comments at the National Press Club, where he was promoting a new book. While speaker of the House, Gingrich voted in 1998 to impeach President Bill Clinton on charges of obstruction of justice and perjury.
"I keep telling everybody at the White House, this is not like NY real estate law, this is criminal law", he said.
Gingrich, in his reference to the "deep state", suggests that there is an orchestrated conspiracy against the president from within the established government, whereby career government employees hostile to the administration are actively involved in ridding Washington of President Trump. "Maybe it's you, whoever you are, '" Gingrich said.
Right before this exchange, Whoopi began grilling Gingrich in a ludicrous fashion to try to call him out in a gotcha moment. "Apparently, over and over again Trump is told privately you are not under investigation but nobody will officially admit it".More news: ICC Champions Trophy 2017 Final
"Everybody on the left has been walking around town chanting, 'watch for the Russian connection, watch for the Russian connection, look for the collusion, '" Gingrich said.
"I said yesterday, you have two more leaks like this, [Deputy Attorney General Rod] Rosenstein is going to have to appoint a special counsel to investigate a special counsel".
The most prominent of those Trump backers was Gingrich, who tweeted Monday that Republicans were "delusional" if they thought Mueller would be fair.
"But it's part of a pattern, as you saw the one sign this guy was holding, you've had an increasing intensity of hostility on the left", Gingrich said. "[.] We're told in this case, this guy goes and says, 'Are they Democrats or Republicans?' Well, that's a pretty directed kind of behavior".

A £165m spending spree by foreign investors signals that Manchester's property market is growing stronger than ever.
Research published by surveyors Knight Frank shows that overseas investors have poured money into the city in the last 12 months, buying a total of 70,200 sq m of city centre office space alone.
The buying frenzy has been prompted by predictions that Greater Manchester's economy will grow by 2.8 per cent in 2004, far outstripping performance elsewhere in the north west and better than the UK average.
Financial and business services are expected to drive the growth of the city's economy.
Knight Frank also predicts an improvement in the city centre office market. By the end of the year, it estimates that 55,000 sq m of office space will have been let. That is roughly equivalent to the 2002 figure, but rebuts claims that the market has been stagnating.
The report into Greater Manchester's property industry also points to a strong market for industrial and distribution property, and highlights a good performance by the Salford Quays office market.
Graeme Wood, partner-in-charge at Knight Frank's King Street office, said: "We've seen tremendous activity in the investment market in the past year.
"It's been helped because the supply of properties to buy has been so tight. But we will see some more strong deals still to come. For overseas investors, the UK has been a good place to buy.
"It hasn't hindered Manchester that we have nil stamp duty, and that the city centre is making such a tremendous impression. The increase in economic well-being in the city has given investors the confidence they need to come and spend their money here.
"Our impression is that the city centre's office market - from the point of view of lettings to tenants - has been steady during 2003, and not as hard-hit as some cities in the UK.
"But in south Manchester there have been problems, although there are now signs that the market is coming back to life.
"Even so, I do not expect a normal market to return to south Manchester until mid-2004."

342P - Fulvestrant (FUL) plus enzastaurin (ENZA) vs FUL plus placebo (PBO) in aromatase inhibitor (AI)-resistant metastatic breast cancer (mBC): a randomiz...

AIs are used as first-line treatment for postmenopausal women with hormone-receptor-positive MBC. Overexpression of PKC α has been linked to AI resistance in several studies. We examined whether Enza, a serine/threonine kinase inhibitor that targets PKC, could improve the effect of Ful in pts who progressed following first-line AI treatment for MBC.
Postmenopausal pts with hormone-receptor-positive, HER2-negative, locally advanced or MBC who progressed on prior AI received a loading dose of Ful 500 mg IM on Day (D) 1 and 250 mg on D 15 of Cycle (C) 1 and D 1 of each cycle thereafter. Enza 500 mg or PBO was administered orally once daily (QD) or 250 mg twice daily (BID). Primary endpoint was the clinical benefit rate (CBR). Secondary endpoints were response rate (RR), duration of CB, progression-free survival (PFS) and safety. A total of 156 pts was randomly assigned to therapy; 152 received at least 1 dose of study drug (39 BID; 55 QD; 58 PBO). Baseline disease characteristics were balanced across arms. There was no statistically significant difference in CBR between pts in Ful + Enza vs Ful + PBO. There was no statistically significant difference in CBRs, RRs and PFS between pts on QD and BID dosing schedules. Pts on BID dosing had numerically more TEAEs vs those on QD and PBO (61.5%, 43.6%, and 46.6%, respectively) and numerically more Grade 3/4 TEAEs vs QD and PBO (17.9%, 9.1%, and 5.2%, respectively). Most frequent Grade 3/4 TEAEs in the BID arm were fatigue (n [%]) (4 [10.3%]), dyspnea (2 [5.1%]) and nausea (2 [5.1%]).
8 pts died; 5 due to disease, 3 due to AEs: 1 drug-related hepatic dysfunction (Enza QD arm), 1 non-drug-related myocardial infarction and 1 non-drug-related respiratory failure (both in the Enza BID arm).
