Medium Readings
Several options are available for readings and are explained and available for booking online
Using her deep connection to the spirit world, built up through practising mediumship and developing her healing skills, Sandie now offers Trance Healing (also called Spiritual Healing).
You can create the life you want using this spiritual tool. If you desire something more for your life, it is NEVER too late to change directions. The choice is yours!
Hello! I'm Sandie Byrne
Born in Thurles, Co Tipperary, I sensed activity from the spirit world since I was a little girl. Thinking that what I was experiencing was normal I never brought it to anyone's attention. As I grew into my teens my experiences began to get more intense and, at times, scared me.
I put it to the back of my mind as I left school and branched out into the world. You can, if you choose write many experiences off to imagination. Marriage and Children took over my time in my late twenties and it wasn't until I was in my thirties that I began to give it more thought. I went to a demonstration in Limerick and saw Colin Fry and guest T.J. Higgs performing. I was lucky enough to meet them in the lobby afterwards and get a reading. It was then that I really knew that what I was experiencing wasn't imagination, it was the spirit world. I have completed a Diploma course under T.J. Higgs and feel much more confident with my gift now, and as I work more with spirit they move ever closer and my senses become stronger.
If you would like to come and have a 1-2-1 reading or book a house party, please call or send me a text and I will try my best to fit you in at the earliest date that suits you.
If you would just like to converse about the spirit world etc please visit my Facebook Page or contact me on Twitter .
Thank You for visiting my page,
Love and Light

About Alexia, Founder
Around ten years ago, I was a highly stressed cog, in a glamorous, fast paced corporate world. As a beauty industry marketer it was my job to find ways to make women want to spend their money on products that would make them "feel better" all the while knowing that if you want to feel better, you needed to start on the inside and not in a shop. Little did I know that the emptiness that I was bringing to work everyday was about to get worse. A lot worse.
One day as I was caught up in the stresses of deciding what shade of green to use on a pack of tweezers. I got the call; my adorable mother had cancer. When I said goodbye six weeks later, little did I know that this was just the beginning of a very dark and seemingly eternal pit of pain and loss. And so began a desperate search for happiness and meaning. A search that I would turn into my work.
After training to be a coach, I quit my marketing career and got to grips with the inside of my head by learning the workings of the mind. I was lucky to trained with some of the best masters of the mind. Of course, I tested everything I learned on myself, because let's face it I needed this stuff more than most. As a personal brand coach, I helped my clients to discover and get clear on who they were, reconnect to their authentic selves and find their purpose, which as it happened, actually helped me to discover mine.
Today, as the founder of Head Trash, I want to make it as easy as possible for people to reclaim their head space so that they can enjoy the happiness, contentment and inner calm that comes with it. In case, you're wondering why you might want all those things… well, to borrow a well-known phrase from my old world… because you're worth it!

The Brazilian Journal on Presence Studies, an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal which does not charge submission or publication fees, will be receiving until 31 March 2016 new articles.
Revista Brasileira de Estudos da Presença
The Brazilian Journal on Presence Studies [Revista Brasileira de Estudos da Presença], an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal which does not charge submission or publication fees, will be receiving until 31 March 2016 new articles that fall within the broad theme of DRAMATURGIES OF THE BODY.
The relationships between the body and dramaturgy have been explored in different ways in many contemporary performing poetics and, in the educational practices of artists and teachers. As the notion of dramaturgy has expanded and no longer means only a text written by a playwright, theatre, dance and performance have orchestrated many different ways to interweave actions and movements in order to constitute a poetic fabric that is not necessarily linear or readable.
These new ways of looking at dramaturgy – ways that move away from a text or libretto as the centre of a spectacle – involve the body in a new position. Thus, the body is the poetic element that constitutes dramaturgical thought in its multiple variations.
To foster discussion on the relationships between dramaturgy and the body, the Brazilian Journal on Presence Studies aims to offer an opportunity for the exploration of this theme from different perspectives. The authors may elaborate theoretical essays, articles derived from empirical and/or historical research on the relationships between the body and dramaturgy in relation to one or more of the following topics:
· Dance dramaturgies
· Performative forms of writing
· Writing, the body and post-drama
· Body and language
· Body and education of playwrights
· Body and education of performers
· Body, sign and theatre
· Identity marks of the body and dramaturgies of the contemporary scene
· School, body and dramaturgy
· Performance, text and the body
· Non-dramatic presence, body and narrative
· Performative body and theatre
· The body as creation of contemporary theatre
· History of the body and of the constitution of the spectacle
· Body/presence of the dramaturg
The Brazilian Journal on Presence Studies expects to receive works based on research with a conceptual engagement in the field of the Dramaturgy and the Body and will give particular consideration to those utilising images and video to develop their reflections. Submissions should conform to the journal's standards and be posted directly to our submission system to follow the general evaluation process of the journal by clicking on the corresponding section (Dramaturgies of the Body). The journal does not charge submission or publication fees and uses the double-blind peer-review system. The text can be in Portuguese, Spanish, English, or French, and will be published in two languages. Authors sending texts in Portuguese or Spanish will be required to send an English translation. More information can be found on our website, www.seer.ufrgs.br/presenca; our guidelines can be viewed under "Author Guidelines."

Since 1994, Comfort Air has been maintaining HVAC systems in McComb, Mississippi and surrounding areas
For quality AC tune-up services, look no further
Comfort Air is southwestern Mississippi's trusted name in air conditioning services, and while many know us for our excellent repair and installation work, we also offer AC tune-ups and cooling maintenance.
From Natchez to Columbia, we work to make sure that Mississippians have their AC systems prepped for the hottest months of the year.
What was the last time an industry-certified professional inspected your air conditioning system? If it's been awhile, it might be time to give Comfort Air a call.
We maintain all makes and models, and our technicians will make sure your AC system is ready for the hot Southern summer ahead.
Schedule your air conditioning tune up
To schedule your air conditioning tune up, call us at the number above, or fill out the form to get in contact with us.
Since 1994, we've been providing the McComb, Mississippi area with heating and cooling services.
Boost your energy efficiency
What do your summer energy bills usually cost you? Here's the bad news: those bills might be even higher than usual because your system is working inefficiently. It's working harder, not smarter.
As dust gets inside the vents of your AC unit, it makes your system work to produce cold air that isn't even arriving in your vents.
Time for some good news. With an AC tune-up, the professionals at Comfort Air can make sure your air conditioning system is getting you a good cooling return on investment.
Have our technicians look at your air conditioner before summer hits, and you'll rest easy knowing that you're not only getting relief from the heat, but a great value on your monthly energy bill.
Get more years out of your system
Eventually, you're going to have to replace your AC unit. No matter how well-constructed, all HVAC systems eventually stop working due to wear after years of use.
However, if you're interested in getting the most possible mileage out of your current AC system, Comfort Air can help. Scheduling a regular air conditioning tune up each year can help your air conditioner live a long and fulfilling life, turning in years of effective and efficient production far past its life expectancy.
Remember: without annual maintenance, an AC system is at much greater risk to break down or have a mechanical failure. Not only can such malfunctions require you to get the system repaired, but they could put additional strain or damage on the other parts of your system, leading to a shorter life.
Decrease your odds of needing repair
While an air conditioning tune-up can't eliminate all possibility of a breakdown (and what can?), it significantly reduces the odds. In fact, regular maintenance catches nearly 80 percent of AC problems before they become major issues.
After a year of use and rattling, your system may have a part that is loose. Should it detach, it may damage the fan and shut the entire air conditioner down. However, by having the Comfort Air team inspect the system before you turn it on for the season, they can catch the issue and tighten the part. No more looming disaster.
If you can't even imagine you and your family being without air this summer, give yourself the peace of mind that comes with an annual air conditioning tune up from Comfort Air.
What to expect from your air conditioning tune up
You can expect your industry-certified and factory-trained technician to do the following when they inspect your system:
- Calibrate your system's parts and mechanisms to ensure that they're in functioning order.
- Check filter conditions and airflow capacity, and replace the filter if necessary.
- Inspect the sealing quality on equipment and ductwork, and perform repair work if needed.
- Confirm the cleanliness of evaporator and condenser coils.
- Make sure that your system is aligned with your home's temperature and comfort needs, so that you aren't paying for air conditioning that you don't use.
- Communicate with you about potential issues and warning signs, so that you are aware of how your system looks and is functioning.
We offer air conditioning tune up for all makes and models!
Experience the Comfort Air difference
Since 1994, the team at Comfort Air has offered exceptional residential cooling and heating services to southwestern Mississippi. These services include AC and furnace repair, maintenance, and installation.
Our promise to you is that your HVAC system will be fixed or installed right, or it's free.
Considering an AC upgrade?
If you and your family are ready for a new AC system, let the experts at Comfort Air help.
We offer free quotes on new systems, and our staff is going to work with you to match your home to the right air conditioner. As a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer, we sell and install some of the best air conditioning systems in the world, with one of the foremost manufacturers giving our work their special endorsement.
Learn more about financing
You can't always plan on the date you're going to need a new AC system, or how much it will cost.
That's why we offer financing with approved credit. If monthly payments fit your budget, consider a financing plan through Comfort Air.

text: thebaz 3 Posted March 12, 2017 i have an R Model Mack with a 350hp motor and ingersoll Rand air starter. I have had the truck close to 30 years and have really not had much trouble with the air start at all. I replaced the seals in the Sealco 14900 starter valve many years ago for reasons that escape me now, but I have never really had any problem with losing air from the start system. I have checked all the fittings for leaks and found nothing. I am suspicious of the check valves and the starter valve. Are the check valves anything special? The ones fitted have "closed U" and "5 76" stamped on them but no other markings i can see. The tank has two check valves, one after the supply line from the wet tank and one before the female fitting for refilling the tank from a compressor or the like in the event of air loss. I am hoping to replace the valves and re-seal the start valve and see if that fixes the air loss. The truck used to start no pr0blems even after 45 days or so of not being started. Any advice is very welcome. Baz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toyota Ranks Highest in Customer Satisfaction with Dealer Service among Mass Market Brands in Malaysia
SINGAPORE: 31 July 2014 — Customers in Malaysia are expecting better service when they take their vehicles in for service or repairs, and authorized service centers are not meeting those expectations, according to the J.D. Power Asia Pacific 2014 Malaysia Customer Service Index (CSI) StudySM released today
The study, now in its 12th year, measures overall service satisfaction among owners who took their vehicle to an authorized service center for service maintenance and/ or repair work during the first 12 to 24 months of ownership. For the first time, the 2014 study examines service satisfaction exclusively on the mass market segment.
The study evaluates new-vehicle owner satisfaction with the service experience by examining dealership performance in five factors: service quality (38%); vehicle pick-up (20%); service initiation (14%); service advisor (14%); and service facility (14%). Satisfaction among mass market brands averages 754 index points (on a 1,000-point scale) in 2014, which is a 3-point decline from 2013.
The study identifies 22 service standards that enhance the overall customer service experience. In 2014, customers expect a minimum of 19 of those 22 standards to be met in order to have a positive service experience. In comparison, customer expectations in 2013 were for service centers to meet 17 of the 22 service standards. On average, authorized service centers are implementing 18.1 standards per service visit in 2014.
"Customers have higher expectations, so it's vital that the automakers' service centers strive to not only meet, but also to exceed those expectations to deliver a satisfying experience for their customers," said Rajaswaran Tharmalingam, country head, Malaysia, J.D. Power Asia Pacific. "Brands need to focus on the entire service process—from helping customers secure service appointments, to providing top-quality services, to faster service turnaround times, to having friendly and knowledgeable service advisors—all of which contribute to overall customer satisfaction."
The study also finds there are additional services some service centers provide that also improve customer satisfaction, such as washing and vacuuming vehicles at the completion of the service and making follow-up phone calls to customers after service is performed. Currently, only 14 percent of mass market customers indicate their service center delivered on both of these services, among whom satisfaction is 797, compared with 729 among customers whose service center did not deliver on both those standards.
Overall satisfaction in the mass market segment averages 754 index points in 2014, which is a 3-point decline from 2013. Satisfaction for the Malaysian national brands within the mass market segment averages 744 points, down 5 points from 2013.
Among the 22 service standards, mass market brands exhibit a double-digit percentage-point increase in service/ repair forms provided prior to service and cost estimates given before service is conducted, compared with 2013.
Among mass market owners who are highly satisfied with their service experience at a dealership (service satisfaction scores averaging 824 or higher), 53 percent say they "definitely would" revisit their service dealer for post-warranty service, compared with 37 percent in 2013.
Study Rankings
Toyota ranks highest in overall customer service satisfaction among mass market brands, with a score of 777. Toyota performs particularly well in the service facility factor. Nissan ranks second with a score of 776, while Isuzu and Mazda rank third in a tie at 775 each.
The 2014 Malaysia Customer Service Index Study is based on responses from 2,610 new-vehicle owners in the mass market segment who purchased their vehicle between February 2012 and May 2013 and took their vehicle for service to an authorized service center between August 2013 and May 2014. The study was fielded between February and May 2014.

Moonrise Kingdom: About a girl and boy
With some films there is no need to write a movie review, except to say, "you should just see it and enjoy it". Moonrise Kingdom is one of those films that I need to see it again because I simply love Wes Anderson´s divine world and visionary storytelling; it is very unique and he has an easily recognizable style: Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009), The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004) and The Royal Tenenbaums (2001).
"I prefer stories with magic powers in them. Either in Kingdoms on earth or foreign planets. Usually, I prefer a girl heron, but not always." – Suzy
See it, enjoy it, step back in time – the 1960´s, relive your childhood memories and laugh a little. I hope you also fall in love with the young runaway lovers, Suzy and Sam.

My brother came to town, and we celebrated Christmas on Christmas Eve. The kids were so excited that they could open a couple of the gifts.
|Ready to open gifts!
I wanted to get a quick picture of the kids with my brother...yea...they wanted to play! But at least I have a picture.
|Drew, Jubert, Ann, Caroline and Sammie
Then Robert and I put everyone to bed and Santa could visit. It was a memorable Christmas at the Cratin house.
I was fortunate enough to be able to take some engagement pictures of Jubert and Ann. I am pleased with how they turned out. Tonight we went to Temple Square to try and take some pictures with the lights. We could get a couple, but it got dark quick. However, we have a couple of great shots. We even could get away and have a nice dinner. I loved it. I could spend time with my brother and his future wife. My future sister in law, I am over the top excited and so happy for the two of them and starting a life together.
So my family is happy and excited about next year! Hope you had a great Christmas. I Cannot wait to get 2011 started. Hope you have a happy NEW YEAR! Time to spend more quality time with my family before "crazy time starts."
Until the next time...have fun creating.

text: Alfred Hitchcock is known for iconic films like: The Birds, Psycho, North by Northwest, and more. The legendary filmmaker lived to see a full and inspiring career, but, that lengthy period was dominated by decades of script writing and countless hours on set, so we're willing to bet good-old-Alfred never had time to enjoy leisure activities like playing video games. Artist Joe Spiotto created his own tribute to the master of psychological thrillers with this collection of Hitchcock-inspired Nintendo covers. We'd still love to see a Hitchcock film adapted into a video game, but, these work for now. Hit the thumbs to check out a preview these Hitchcock-inspired Nintendo prints from Joe's upcoming show at Gallery 1988. [TheCuriousBrain]

Looks good but I doubt the usefullness of having powerpoint in a pda. I mean com'n how many people are going to enjoy that presentation on a small screen like that? Sure, if the presentation is made for just one user, it's swell and all.
At any rate, my next phone is going to be a Windows Mobile 2005 I reckon. IF the prices on the hardware comes down to a more "reachable" level
A tip to who's holding the camera. Try to not say "ok" every time someone says something. It sounds like you're stressed to me.
Nice presentation, could use better audio quality. Get 'em a better camcorder.

As every successful network marketer will tell you, there's a lot that goes into growing an MLM company. Hard work and tenacity are essential, but so is strategy. Starting a business without first outlining a network marketing plan is like feeling around in the dark for a light switch. It takes a while, there's a lot of stumbling, but eventually you hear the click of the switch and you're able to see what's ahead. Building a business with the lights already on is a much more effective method of getting started in MLM.
What sort of things should you consider before setting off on your network marketing journey? Below is a list of 6 important questions to ask yourself in order to better understand the mission, the goals, and the potential customers behind your business.
The 6 Essential Questions for Constructing a Network Marketing Plan
What is your mission? Outline your mission statement, write it down and make it accessible so you can be reminded of it every day. This is why you're doing what you're doing, and what it is you want to offer to the world. It should be short and to the point, but it should be more than just "I want to make money". Think of why you chose the product and the company you chose, and what sort of community you want to build.
Who are your customers and what do they value? Identify your target market so you can streamline your efforts and make this market the central focus of your attention. What do they need or want? What would it take for your company to satisfy their needs? Always offer the customer something that is useful to them, keep their lives and their values in the spotlight of your marketing efforts.
What are your expectations? Set concrete and realistic expectations before you get started with your network marketing business and write them down so you can track your progress. Be specific, it will help you gauge your success as you go.
What is your "word of mouth" plan? The MLM industry is unique because it relies solely on its customers and distributors to promote the product, and this is usually done through testimonial, or word of mouth. How are you going to spread the word about your business? Are you going to have a strong online presence, market via social media, YouTube, Twitter, and other internet outlets? What sort of advertising budget do you have to work with? Outline a strong advertising strategy and research how to put it to use so you're not feeling around in the dark after you've already started.
What is your recruiting plan for after you've exhausted the friends/family market? Eventually, you're going to run out of friends and family to market to. Outline some ideas for what to do when this happens, and if you're worried you don't have the confidence to speak to strangers about your company, now is the time to learn how. Don't wait too long to attend relevant industry seminars, take public speaking or sales courses, watch videos that offer advice, or do some research on how to bone up on your sales skills. Be ready and enthusiastic about approaching a new market.
How are you going to address negative feedback? Unfortunately, it happens all the time in network marketing. A friend of a friend of your prospect said that MLM is a pyramid scheme and they shouldn't get involved. Instead of ignoring these concerns, exhibit confidence in your company by addressing them with a specific position. If you're prepared to handle this in a professional manner, you're less likely to let it be a major obstacle in growing your business, and being honest and upfront will help you build trust with your prospects. Even if the potential customer says no, you wouldn't want them to continue spreading the bad word about the product you've worked so passionately to promote.
Go with the Flow
No matter what, your MLM success is going to be a learning process. Having a network marketing plan is a great way to focus your efforts on results and to track your progress, but it doesn't have to be definitive. Revise your strategies to find the right fit for you, and set new goals for yourself if the original ones weren't applicable or attainable. Be willing to adjust your network marketing plan to allow wiggle room for trial and error. Let yourself make mistakes, give yourself some room to stumble. But always get back up again.

We are continually reminded that we have the best customers in the world! The proud owner of this custom Brazilian Rosewood guitar is the perfect example. Justin came by the shop last spring and fell in love with the guitars we had on hand. Before he headed out that day he spent some time in the shop looking through our wood collection and listening to the tap tone of a variety of pieces. Shortly thereafter Jay and Justin began working together to design Justin's custom Lichty guitar, using a set of Brazilian Rosewood that literally resonated with Justin.
Justin brought great design ideas to the table and Jay and he discussed each in detail. From the choice of snakewood and pearl trim details, to the selection of a master grade Italian Spruce soundboard, to the side sound port and the African Hard Ivory nut and saddle, this guitar reflects a thoughtful collaboration. It also reflects Justin's style and vision. Throughout the design and build process Justin was wonderful to work with and his enthusiasm was contagious.
Jay, you truly have a God given talent as a luthier and it was a pleasure to not only do business with you and Corrie but also to build a friendship. I love the guitar that we designed together and I'm sure that another Lichty order will be placed in the near future! Thank you for your patience, dedication to providing excellent customer service, and passion for building gorgeous instruments. Please send my sincere thanks to Corrie for all of the great pictures along the way. I'm sure this guitar will remain a treasure in my collection for the rest of my life. Thank you for building such a gem that is an inspiration to hold and play. – Justin Whitesides

It's about one year since we went up to Drivelodge near Keighley to pick up the Kamper. Touch wood, it has been faultless. It has to be said that David and his team did a great job in screwing it all together. Nothing has worked loose or failed to meet our expectations. So a big thank you to them !
The base vehicle itself has also been trouble free. I knocked off the interior mirror (my stupid fault…) and I put a small dinge in a rear door where the caravan gas box kissed it whilst getting free of a soggy quagmire at Prescott Hill Climb. (Get your "campsite" sorted, you naughty Bugatti Club People. Please… I would like to try again!) Also some person ran a heavy duty shopping trolley into an alloy wheel, causing some marks. So overall , not at all bad. Congratulations to our Spanish cousins who made the base vehicle NV200 in the huge factory in sunny Barcelona. The doors slide true and close correctly and with full servicing, everything is tickety boo.
I have got through a set of tyres pretty quickly for such a slow driving old codger, but then they were not premium brand. I think the next set will be from Michelin, Goodyear or Avon if I can get the correct size.
Overall a great result. As ever for Dinkum , bigger intentions for the next 12 months. I just do not want to tempt fate……….. A Church school childhood leaves a legacy of superstition. LOL.

Christianity explored gives people time and space to think about the big questions of life and to explore the life of the person at the heart of the Christian faith, Jesus Christ.
Over 7 weeks, involving an excellent DVD series, guests explore the identity, mission and call of Jesus – who he is, why he came and what it means to follow him. All are given the opportunity to ask questions or just to listen.
We run the course at various times during the year, usually on a weekday evening. Check the church calendar page to see if there is a course planned or let the office know if your interested.

|HO Track building - Equipment, Materials & Suppliers Index - Reference Area. - Your Model Railway Club
My photos:
|I've just got the supplies in for scratch building some HO track in code 100 (the standard for the modular club I belong to), the following may be of interest to those who are also contemplating doing this.
Code 100 straight track. Peco and Atlas track is way over-scale when it comes to the ties/sleepers ("shoe-boxes" is how they are described over here). Micro-Engineering http://www.microengineering.com/products_ft.htm do code 100 track (regular and weathered rail) with prototypical sized ties as well as rail (plus a comprehensive range of other codes/scales). If you want to lay your own track, Fast Tracks http://www.handlaidtrack.com/ has templates (straight track and turnouts), copper clad ties and wood ties (tangent track and crossings only), and some really nice NMRA-compliant templates.
I need some long copper clad scale 9" wide strips in HO for custom length ties. I got these from in 12' lengths Clover House http://www.cloverhouse.com they have a small but useful range of sizes (N, HO, S and O). They also stock a neat rail joiner made from pcb called a "Gapmaster" (made by americantieandlumber.com) that joins sections of track. Comes pre-tinned with insulating gaps alread cut (see photo below).
I also need some custom length scale 9" wide wood ties, Mt. Albert Lumber Co. http://www.mtalbert.com/ have these in 24" lengths.
Proto87 Stores http://www.proto87.com/ also have useful items such as frogs, tie plates and other fixings which while intended for fine-scale modeling, are adaptable to code 100. They also have a number of 4mm scale items.
Code 100 track corresponds to around 155 lb track, definitely heavy duty mainline.
I have no connection with any of the manufacturers/suppliers mentioned above, I'm just a satisfied customer.
Peco code 83 track with almost protypical size ties (but still a bit too wide but better than code 100 ties) and the "Gapmaster" rail joining pcb ties, which match Micro Engineering tie dimensions exactly. Track ends are soldered to the "Gapmaster", with the first and last 2 ties of the pcb board replacing those in the track lengths to be joined. Solder up using a spacer for the gap. No rail joiners are required, add some cosmetic fish plates, they look the business. They can be adapted with another couple of gaps as insulated spacers in turnouts. They would also make pretty robust track termini between modules. More on these uses in another post.

|Hi Nigel,
That sounds very interesting indeed, I shall be keen to see how you progress.
Thanks also for the timely reminder about "Gapmaster" - it's just what I need presently.

Therapy and psychiatric medications are the most common treatments for depression and anxiety. Many people, however, prefer alternative, more natural remedies. These can include lifestyle changes, herbal treatments, and alternative approaches not typically used in Western medicine, but practiced in other cultures for centuries. Clients reach for alternatives when Western medicine is unhelpful or they simply want a more natural approach. Especially for milder depression and anxiety, alternative remedies offer much hope.
A Mental Health Minute by Cristina Frick
(My wonderful father died of a heart attack when I was 15, and I want to say Happy Father's Day, Dad- I love and miss you!)
Natural or home remedies can include lifestyle changes such as increased exercise or altering your diet or doing yoga. These approaches succeed by increasing relaxation, reducing blood pressure and heart rate, and increasing mood-lifting chemicals in the brain. Although they may not work for everyone, these approaches are effective for many.
Some studies show the link between exercise and symptom reduction is indirect, while others indicate it can reduce depression symptoms by fifty percent. Exercise improves mood by releasing beta-endorphins into the brain, as well as increasing levels of serotonin and norepinephrine, which regulate mood. It is also helpful for reducing anxiety.
In addition to exercise, there are several dietary changes that can help with depression. Suggestions include getting lots of vitamins C, E, and beta-carotene, eating protein-rich foods, and eating "smart" carbs like fruits and vegetables. There is also some evidence to suggest that a lack of Vitamin D may contribute to depression (especially seasonal affective disorder, which is related to the lack of sunshine). Adding Vitamin D in supplement form or by absorbing it via sunshine – up to 15 minutes per day — may help alleviate depression, but one study has shown there to be no cause and effect. A change in diet is helpful as part of an overall treatment for depression, reports WebMD, because there's more and more research indicating that, in some ways, food and mood are connected.
Important: Notify your doctor about any herbal remedies, supplements, or alternative medicines you are taking, as these may create dangerous interactions with any traditional psychiatric medications or other prescriptions you may be taking. Consult professionals who know the side effects of natural as well as pharmaceutical medicines.
Herbal remedies like St. John's wort and ginkgo biloba are often used with some success to treat depression. But, despite being used around the world for medicinal purposes for many years, they have not been shown conclusively to clinically reduce symptoms. Herbs and vitamin supplements must be used with caution. On the positive side, some have fewer side effects and can be more effective than traditional psychiatric medications.
While herbal remedies may or may not be helpful in treating the symptoms of anxiety, creative approaches such as music therapy often are. One recent study showed that music therapy significantly reduced the anxiety of patients undergoing treatment for heart disease. Music can lessen anxiety by reducing blood pressure and heart rate. Music and singing can also have a positive impact on people's emotions.
Studies have shown that being connected to a religious group or a "higher power" confers mental health benefits. Whether or not one attends religious services, an internal connection to a higher power provides people with a sense of belonging to something greater than themselves, as well as giving them a sense of trust that their depression or anxiety is temporary. Provided the religion is supportive in the face of mental illness, an individual can find a sense of support and connectedness, as well as a sense of purpose. Prayer has also been shown to provide similar benefits.
Other effective treatments include meditation, yoga and guided imagery (during which an individual imagines a relaxing scenario in detail, with the help of prompts or on his or her own). These are beneficial because they focus the mind on positive thoughts, as well as creating a relaxation response in the body. Biofeedback is an additional way of "teaching" one's body to relax. It involves observing one's vital signs, such as breathing or heart rate, and using one of the above techniques to reduce these to a relaxed range. This WebMD article has some good information about some of these complementary practices.
Hypnosis, when used in combination with traditional psychotherapy and medication, can reduce depressive symptoms in a similar way. It does this by enhancing coping skills, improving sleep, decreasing pain, and building a sense of hope. Aromatherapy, which involves the use of scents to help people relax and control pain, is also effective. (Watch a WebMD video about this). However, pregnant women should avoid this.
Finally, laughter is a great choice for effective treatment of depression or anxiety. Laughter relieves symptoms by expanding blood vessels and increasing circulation. It also improves sleep by lowering blood sugar levels, increases serotonin levels (which has a calming effect), and increases dopamine (which increases happiness and pleasure). Laughter has been shown to be very beneficial for cancer patients suffering from depression. "Laughter therapy" sessions , in which groups of people spend time together and laugh each week, are now more common.
In order for clients to receive maximum treatment benefits in the long run, traditional therapists/psychiatrists and alternative practitioners must continue to conduct empirical research on effectiveness and engage in a collaborative dialogue. Home, natural, and alternative remedies offer many uplifting options for recovery, although it is important to consider traditional treatments like therapy and psychiatric medication, which have also been proven to deliver many from their suffering.
Thanks to Andrew (bivvy) for the inspiration to compile this report!
IMPORTANT MESSAGE: If you are feeling depressed or think you might be suffering from a mental illness, the APA website offers a listing of therapists in every state. If you are feeling suicidal, or if you know someone who is, (warning signs include marked changes in sleeping or eating patterns, profound sadness or expressions of hopelessness, giving away belongings/saying goodbye to others, and a sudden and inexplicable lifting of depression because the person may mistakenly feel they have found "a way out"), please get help. Call the Suicide Hotline at 1-800-SUICIDE (784-2433)or 1-800-273-TALK (8255). There is help and hope available. You can get better- suicide is not the answer for your pain. Please call now.

AL RAYYAN received a big morale booster as libero Suleiman Saeed recovered from a nagging knee injury and was fit to resume duties.
The 29-year-old, a key figure for Rayyan and national team in the past decade, had been out of action since the Emir's Cup last season.
Suleiman, who took to the court during the ongoing GCC Clubs Championship, sounded upbeat about the season ahead.
"I missed the Super Cup, Qatar League and Arab Championship. It's been a bit frustrating sitting out with injury. I've been watching my team-mates play and that itself was a big motivation to comeback and play. I hope to do well in the rest of the season," said Suleiman.
During the Qatar League, it was quite obvious that Rayyan were missing Suleiman's inspiring presence on the court. The way he cheers his team-mates and has a go at the opposition is something which stands out about Suleiman and assistant coach Karim ben Ayed was quick to acknowledge it.
"Finishing fourth in the league and third at the Arab Clubs Championship wasn't certainly our goal. We wanted to finish much higher. A big positive from this tournament is the return of Suleiman, our libero, from a six-month injury lay-off. Now, we can hopefully live up to the expectations," said Karim.

Language is the very core of every culture in any place in the world. World Language Schools is in the business of facilitating communications around the world. We understand translating the written word such as documents, marketing material, websites, multimedia and videos. These are all part of the services we provide to you.
Interpretation is the conversion of the spoken, verbal language to another language. Many people confuse translating with interpreting. Interpreting can be simultaneous as the speaker is presenting. Consecutive translating, with the speaker pausing after every idea, is presented to give the interpreter a chance to convert such ideas into the target language.
In 2013, in Dallas Texas, we translated a large website for a service company in Houston, Texas. Translations are not just the conversion of words into another language. Our main goal is to maintain the essence of the message that is being projected from one language to the other. Only a human translator can double read a paragraph and decide that the message being sent is kept intact with the new translation.
We have provided interpretation services in Dallas, Houston and Austin, Texas for churches, international events in Chinese, Russian and other languages
If you need any of the above services please give us a contact our Founder directly at 469-400-4787 and we will gladly solve your foreign language communication needs.

City of Long Beach Recognized By White House For Efforts to End Veterans Homelessness
2016-11-15 · By Editor
Mayor Robert Garcia today presented on the City of Long Beach's work to end Veterans Homelessness, at the White House's Veterans Homelessness Summit, where the City of Long was recognized for its outstanding efforts. Since December 2015, every Veteran who has experienced homelessness in Long Beach is offered a path to permanent housing. The capacity to provide housing for all Veterans interested in permanent housing is called achieving "Functional Zero." This "Functional Zero" status is awaiting final certification from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
"I am proud that Long Beach has been able to provide housing to 657 formerly homeless Veterans in the last two years and that First Lady Michelle Obama recognized this achievement at the White House today," said Mayor Garcia. "Veterans have given so much to our country – we must do all we can to ensure that every Veteran has a home."
City Manager Patrick H. West also attended the White House capstone event for community leaders from across the country to celebrate the successes of and share best practices to continue the work of the Mayors Challenge to End Veterans Homelessness, which the City of Long Beach joined in May 2015.
"We are so proud of the efforts of the Homeless Services Division, Housing Authority, and all our employees who helped make this happen, and the City Council for their tremendous support for ending Veterans homelessness," said City Manager West.
The highly successful multi-year effort to address Veterans homelessness was led by the Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services in partnership with the Long Beach VA Healthcare System, Century Villages at Cabrillo and several additional dedicated community partners.
Since 2015, 657 Veterans who were homeless in Long Beach received support and services necessary to find permanent homes. They had immediate access to shelter, and were quickly screened and offered service-intensive transitional housing if desired before moving swiftly into permanent housing.
The City of Long Beach and its partners created an integrated system of care that leverages millions of dollars to prioritize, prepare and provide for Veterans experiencing or at risk for homelessness, including.
- A Housing First Model, based on the principle that people need quick access to permanent housing with no conditions for compliance regarding physical health, mental health and/or substance addiction treatment.
- Critical Time Intervention, to support and promote a continuity of care during critical times of transition as people move from homelessness to housing.
- Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) application and utilization processes are linked to Veteran-specific supportive services and financial assistance programing.
- Enhancing coordination among all partners.
- The Villages of Cabrillo, a 27 acre campus built to replace naval housing, actively works to break the cycle of Veterans homelessness with housing and service engagement. It provides 520 Veteran-specific permanent housing with an additional 75 set aside units in its new development, Anchor Place.

Culture of incarceration
By K.C. Walpole
Special to The Sun
Published: Sunday, August 1, 2010 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 30, 2010 at 12:48 a.m.
The history of Florida politics has always involved a model of a subjugated/oppressed population used for financial and political exploitation. This is not just a political reality; it is based on a culture that permeates the entire state.
This culture found expression nationally in movies such as "Gideon's Trumpet" and "Cool Hand Luke." Both speak with great eloquence to the legal matrix that supports and benefits from a culture of exploitation.
The backbone that breathes life into this culture of subjugation/exploitation is the criminal justice industrial complex of the state.
The most recent revision to this model of subjugation/exploitation was triggered by the presidential elections of 1988. Crime became one of the single biggest campaign issues. The poster boy for everything wrong was Willie Horton.
Horton was a convicted felon who failed to return to a Massachusetts prison in 1987 while on a weekend furlough. He went on a drug-related crime spree that included an incident where he twice raped a woman after beating her fiance.
This issue of being tough on crime was first used by Al Gore's campaign against Gov. Michael Dukakis of Massachusetts in the Democratic primaries with little success. However, the Bush campaign was able to exploit it with great success in their bid for the presidency.
The significance of being tough on crime was not lost on the Florida Legislature. In October 1988, immediately prior to the elections in November, the first in a series of legislation was passed in what became the "get tough on crime" era that would span over a decade.
On Oct. 1, 1988, the Legislature passed the Felony Habitual Offender and Violent Habitual Offender which spoke to the issues surrounding Willie Horton. Essentially it said that felons with two prior convictions or one prior violent offense would be sentenced outside the existing guidelines to longer prison terms with less gain time and no early release.
This and like legislation triggered a surge in the inmate population and prison construction. From 1992 to 1994 the state spent $450 million on prison construction which was more than the state's university system had received in the previous 10 years.
This pattern of spending did not stop with the immediate surge in prison construction. A little over a decade later, E. T. York, chancellor emeritus of the State University System, pointed out Florida's spending priorities on the national level ranked, fifth place in spending on police protection; 40th place in spending for K-12 education; and 50th place in spending for higher education.
The old plantation economy has been replaced by the prison economy and all but three counties in the state of Florida have at least one.
Realize that a state prison represents a stable income of about $13 million to a county. This is a source of economic stability to rural agricultural counties at the mercy of the marketplace and weather.
Counties have gone to great extremes to attract and keep a prison. The Suwannee County Commission was one such county.
Among other incentives, the commission bought a 320-acre site for $375,000, gave it to the state and in return Suwannee got their prison.
This may sound like chump change but on a state level there are over 27,000 Department of Correction employees and the budget is close to $2.5 billion.
The prison system is one of the biggest employers in many counties as well as the state. We are talking jobs created by and tied to politics.
Florida now has a prison system that incarcerates over 100,000 men, women and children. Make no mistake; there are children in Florida prisons. Florida prosecutors are sending as many children into prison as the rest of the United States.
There is not a politician in the state who doesn't realize the economic impact closing prisons has on their careers and the rural economies of the state.
Now the infrastructure is in place, and politicians can shift their focus from construction to tweaking the system to keep the system operational and the beds full.
The single biggest contributor to this equation is a dysfunctional education system. We only have to look to Alachua County for a case in point. The county sends approximately 600 men, women and children into prison every year with an average educational level of the sixth grade. Alachua schools have a dropout rate between 400 and 500 men and women a year. With a state recidivism rate of some 40 percent, it does not take a rocket scientist to make a connection.
Many will argue this is the price of freedom in a democracy. The world incarceration rate average is about 125 per 100,000 population, while the American rate is 751 per 100,000. Bear in mind, Florida has an incarceration rate much higher than the national average.
What has been said here is known to every elected official in the state. In spite of the rhetoric and showmanship the system has only been refined over the last 20 plus years.

Mere Guru Dev
Last time around we didn't go. It was billed as a "concert" and held in (admittedly beautiful) Unity Temple on the Plaza—not in a yoga studio or high school gym, places where we've had previously the pleasure of joining him in kirtan.
This time it's billed as a kirtan—and though the location hasn't changed we got ticket numbers 3, 4 and 5.
Mere Guru Dev is a rock, grounding and solid. Yet this duet is gorgeous—thanks to the appearance of his daughter.

Hi vs Lo Going Toe-to-Toe
While everyone in the boxing world has their panties in a bunch waiting for the day Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather choose to fight, there is another fight we would love to see. Although, for obvious reasons, sneakers could never actually get in a fight with one another, if they could, who would be crowned victorious between a high top and a low top? Let's weigh the two in to see how they would match up.
The low top weighs in quite a bit lighter than the high top, and these two would be in completely different weight classes all together. However, where the low top lacks in size, it makes up in speed. The quick and agile low top can deliver fast blows to the opponent, whether that opponent be a high top sneaker or the blacktop.
The high top would be in the heavyweight class, outweighing the low top by a considerable amount. Although it is indeed not as quick as the low top, the high top makes up for it with its stability and power. If the low top were to corner the high, the high top would have enough stability to endure repeated blows, as well as enough power to perhaps even knock its opponent to the ground.
Where one lacks, the other makes up, so it would be hard to determine a clear-cut winner. It would come down to the temperature of the arena. If it were hot, the low top would hold the advantage and the high top would quickly tire out. However, if it were cold, the low top would be not match for the bulky high top who would be claimed victorious.

The Palace is proud to announce the arrival of its most esteemed guests:
Dale Of Philly, the Princess of All Things Fabric
Bearing gifts of 2 exquisite floor pillows,the most magnificent screen, both hand sewn by the Princess herself, 1 majestic brass table with 4 equally regal brass chairs , a larger than life carved coffee pot and 4 accompanying goblets plus 1 life size Victorian tea cup (not in pic)
Snowfern Clover, the Singapore Sling of All Food Mini
Bearing gifts of 2 dozens Turkish delights in exact scale and incredible details and the most awe-inspiring doilies, impossibly hand tatted by Snowfern.
After travelling 25 hours from the US to Singapore, Dale finally arrived on the dot at 12 am on 23 June 2010. I met her at the airport and brought her for a cup of tea before we went home. Picture above is the "tea" I prepared the next day after work to welcome her, Cindy and Asuka.
It is amazing but Dale knew more Singaporean miniaturists than I do and so we went out after that to meet another Singaporean miniaturist PeiLi and had one of the best Hainanese Chicken Rice in Singapore. Of course, we had to show off the best part of a miniaturist in this picture.
Thanks to Cindy, who is the official tour guide and who really took care of Dale, they went and saw quite a few places yesterday . As you can see in the pic above, Cindy has packed to stay over for 2 nights here. All I contributed to the day was raisin cheese bread (only the best of course) which nobody ate except me yesterday.
And today, after a very full lunch of roasted pork and dumplings noodle, dry beef noodle, spring roll, rojak and oyster omelette, we went to Arab Street to shop for fabric. We were there for about 4 hours and at about 6pm, we came back for our appointment with Mum.
Mum cooked my favourite chicken curry and Dale's favourite cabbage and carrot which could be "chop suey" to her and we then had the best durians ever for desert. We were very proud of Dale for sniffing the durians for a full 1 minute.
Dale has only been here for 3 days and I have already eaten my year's quota of forbidden foods. By the time Dale returns home, I may be able to apply for a job at this shop we saw at Arab Street.

What to do with this activity?
Most children love snow, but have they ever looked closely at a snowflake? Snowflakes are crystallized water droplets and they are beautiful. You can really only see how beautiful they are under a microscope, or in photographs. If it snows, catch a snowflake on a dark coat and look at it with a magnifying glass - you might begin to see the shape.
Most snowflakes are six sided and are symmetrical. That means that one side is the mirror image of another. Look at these photographs of snowflakes that were taken by Wilson Bentley way back in 1902. Have a look at this video of ice crystals forming on this frozen bubble - it's in slow motion so you can see how they are six-sided.
Find out from First Palette how to cut out some beautiful snowflake shapes from white paper. You can use them as Christmas decorations.
Why am I doing this?
Children learn numbers and maths in a natural way through play and everyday activities. It's different to school and should always be fun and practical – that way your child will enjoy working with numbers.
Your child also develops a sense of patterns and what time means in everyday life. This is important for helping your child to manage everyday activities – going places, how long they have to wait and understanding when things will happen in the future.
How can I do more?
Talking about numbers helps your child's fluency in counting, estimating and understanding numbers and money in everyday life. It takes time for children to understand addition and subtraction so use objects when helping them understand this or when doing their homework.

TV Review: The 2010 MTV Video Music Awards
The 2010 MTV VMAs aired last night, Sept. 12 at 9 p.m. ET. The following are reviews from TV critics around the Web, compiled by B&C:
"[Host Chelsea Handler] was among the worst in show's history — purposefully out-of-touch, with brief, alarming flashes of off-color racial humor." - Jon Caramanica, The New York Times
"[Handler's opening monologue was] a string of flat punch lines that felt a few degrees below crass." - Chris Richards, The Washington Post
"She was a game presence all night, hopping into a hot tub with the cast of 'Jersey Shore' … and talking smack about Mel Gibson, young Justin Bieber … and, of course, [Kanye] West." - Geoff Boucher and Gerrick Kennedy, The Los Angeles Times
"The VMAs may have been mostly dull, but, looking back, West and Taylor ultimately made the long slog worth it." - Christopher John Farley, The Wall Street Journal
"Host Chelsea Handler gave the show its traditional bawdiness, though her jokes often fell flat. She did have a few zingers, most of them vulgar." - Nekesa Mumbi Moody, The Associated Press
"The Video Music Awards are all about being brash and cool and down with the kids and hip to the pop culture — and by that measure, Chelsea Handler turned in a workwomanlike performance opening the VMAs." - Jennifer Armstrong, Entertainment Weekly
"[T]here was a lot wrong with last night's show. First off, about 90% of the performances were autotuned monstrosities… Then there were the presenters, who had zero chemistry and even less material to work with as far as comedy went." - Damian Holbrook, TV Guide

I'm finding Slack increasingly valuable for our growth hacking efforts and I'm curious if/how others are using it to coordinate growth efforts.
I just started using Slack in the agency environment. I love it. One channel we created that shouldn't be ignored is a #winning channel where we recognize people and outstanding results. Great to see people sharing whose doing what so you can dive in and have a better look.
Love the idea of a #winning channel! Definitely going to steal that @bellastone :)
Very cool. Agree with Morgan, love the #winning channel. Was it inspired by Charlie?
Haha our founder @devbasu came up with it. You'd have to ask him. ;)
Coming up with the #winning channel was a joint-idea for @bellastone and I. We've all reduced internal email by at least 70% or more, which was precisely the point of using Slack. The next step is to start coding Slack bots to funnel all notifications (machine generated email) into a #notifications channel, and then make it smart so that high priority notifications (eg: client's site is down, conversion tracking went dead) get @mentioned to the right person on our team.
I own growth in our remote team, and this is how we use Slack:
- customer success notifications (support, consultation, etc.) get fed into Slack via Intercom (it's super quick to reply, and means you don't need your CRM software open all day)
- we share growth articles in our #growth channel
- we asynchronously communicate and co-ordinate our hacks via direct messages (like I said, we're a remote team)
- when we work on growth hacks, any updates in our work get fed into Slack via own tool (Blossom.io)
Guess I'll get it started explaining how we're using Slack in our growth efforts:
- share relevant growth articles across the team and explaining how it is relevant ie "we should be exploring XYZ for growth opps"...
- copying screenshots from analytics (feedback loop on experiments, issues we should try to fix, etc)
- integrating our internal tool for tracking experiment ideas to notify team of new experiment ideas, comments about each idea...
- General discussion about ways to grow and challenges with growth
Most of this is in dedicated growth channels for each product, but there is a lot of 1:1 communication about things too.
Personally I'm really impressed how game changing Slack has become for us.
We're doing a lot of the same. Examples from the past week...much of it on a dedicated channel for my team.
- shared links to @justinmares free email course, other articles (most from GH)
- talked with team about going to ConversionXL event in March (who's going?)
- sharing test data and creative.
- images of the occasional old-school Ogilvy ad for inspiration
We have a distributed team and use Slack heavily throughout the day - it's our main point of communication. Sharing articles, screenshots, integrating with github/pivotal/twitter, and of course the odd joke or two to lighten the mood.
I feel like being able to lighten the mood and have fun with Slack is essential. Being able to be productive yet throw jokes around at times creates a nice balance.
I don't currently use Slack but I'm always up for trying new communication tools.
Unfortunately, my clients mostly use Gmail/Hangouts as their main form of communications. This is due to the need to contact their clients externally. I'm taking it that Slack would be out of the question for external communications (correct me if I'm wrong as I've never used it)? Does it integrate with email (I didn't see it in the integrations) ?
It appears to be more useful for internal communications. Anyone have feedback on how they are using slack to manage communications in larger projects? E.g. a large content marketing team or company wide projects. I can see that it integrates with Trello.
I'm visualising a lot of copying and pasting from different tools...
I've found great success in using a project management tool such as Trello or Redbooth. I usually make this tool the main source for communication for project related communications as we are working from there.
The Slack website fails to provide real life examples of how people are actually using it so it's hard to decide whether to roll-out something across a company.
Any tips on how to go about integrating a project management tool and Slack? Is it worth it?
The reason Slack has taken off is its ease of integration with just about anything you can think of. We still use Gmail and Hangouts (Hangouts works seamlessly with Slack btw) but our email use has dropped to a bare minimum.
Clients don't have to use Slack (although its stupidly easy to setup and start using immediately and we are educating our clients in using it) as its just as effective as a portal for all your existing systems.
Seriously, Slack has revolutionised our business. Try it as soon as you can.
I remember @gijs was exploring internal vs. external opportunities with Slack ?
That's correct. We just launched a service that allows you to chat with your visitors (like zopim, olark,..) just by using slack. It's called chatline.io, accepting registrations
We have all of our internal logging piped into the slack growth channel - this includes new accounts, people finishing/skipping our in-app onboarding, billing stuff from stripe, and a couple of other things - they all send automated notifications to slack. When we get a burst of activity, I'll usually put some follow up with analytics info. This log is also great for validating potential high-volume customers and whatnot.
Another cool use, not particularly growth related, is for tracking new feature adoption. Sometimes when we add a new feature, we'll set up triggers to ping a slack channel about it - it's very validating.
We also send all social mentions to a slack channel so we can talk about how to respond when necessary.
There's a ton of really cool stuff you can pipe into slack through zapier too (https://zapier.com/app/explore?services=App6830API) that are pretty cool - rss feeds, subreddit monitoring, etc.
In the last few weeks we setup a crazy Slack environment. We use Zapier to push data from Hubspot, Intercom and Salesforce to difference channels. It is really working well, the in app document preview is also a big benefit over Skype's way of handeling files.
We use it for 4 months now, it beats other tools and keeps our remote team connected and focused. I love that it allows everyone in the team to get a non-intrusive overview of what's happening in the various parts of the company. When you're working remote it's easy to get the impression that nothing is happening, but with Slack you see that things are moving everywhere, which is motivating.
A few of our channels are #development (connected to our GitHub with development updates), #tickets (connected to Zendesk, notifying when new tickets come in), #sales (notifying when new customers come in > gives a great boost to the team), #fun (where we post random funny things), and #chats (connected to our own software Userlike, notifying when a chat starts on our site).
We have a channel dedicated to #feedback. Anything that goes in there requires feedback from the whole team. Especially valuable for things like catching errors when writing quick email messages.
Naturally, we don't use slack, we use our own tool - dapulse.
The Growth is built-in. Because it's a tool that is a management method, what @bellastone described as the winning channel, for us is the entire system. I'll explain in short two aspects of this:
1. dapulse is a transparent tool with clear ownership. So everyone always gains recognition. Founder and CEO of Wix -- now a 1$B company -- described in an interview how with dapulse, even at 600 employees, he comes up to employees in company parties to discuss what they're working on. And how surprised and psyched they are that he knows who they are and what they do. dapulse, he says, enables that for him.
2. We ourselves, as well as our customers, put both our high level goals as well as our roadmap in one place in daspulse for everyone to see. This keeps everyone motivated and effortlessly in sync. We push together in complete collaboration as part of one effort. When people visit us, it blows their mind how motivated we are.
For me, Slack is a cool chat app. But if you're a real player wanting to take over the world, you can't afford to use anything but dapulse.
We use Slack across a 12-person team, we have a channel dedicated to Marketing where I share AB test results, new pages we're launching, marketing success, etc with the aim of getting feedback from across the team (and helping all buy in to what we're doing). The feedback is really good - not everyone can jump on but ~25% of team respond each time.
We share data on signups in a dedicate channel, which indirectly leads to a more immediate (vs historical) understanding of who is signing up, where they're from and what package they sign up to. Helps shape content, marketing and onboarding priorities.
Finally we have a Design channel, where we share mock-ups and get feedback. As we're all busy and naturally silo'd by our specialisms Slack's chat style (vs sharing designs by email) has been great on getting wider, deeper feedback - some gold come from this.
We use Trello as a project management tool, (and love it) but unfortunately their in-app alerts aren't great and we all filter the email notifications. We've integrated our Slack account with Trello and created a #tasks channel to get notification alerts pushed into slack when a new card is created or completed. It's helped greatly with productivity and it allows everyone on the team to see when a task has been completed.
How do you find Trello integration? We've been meaning to do it but it looks like you have to do each board separately. Is that right or can we do a group integration?
@firefriendly you do have to add each board, but integrate the board to the appropriate channel to keep everyone in the loop. For marketing, I connect the marketing channel to the marketing product board. It helps my team know what's happening without having to check Trello.
We started using Slack in our company and realized fast the great value of channels. After creating dedicated updates channels for each subject we opened new channels for integration with our servers, this way we get updates for specific issues (e.g. errors, commits, usage). This was a big change for us, communication became much faster and accurate.
Slack is a powerful tool, especially with their integrations.
I wrote a blog post a few months ago about how we use Slack at work https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20140817235700-31338918-how-one-tool-can-change-the-way-you-communicate-at-work?trk=mp-reader-card
Aside from internally, I've used Slack as a medium for nurturing influencer relationships. We created a sort of VIP slack team for our close group of influencers to share resources, network with each other, and provide value. Less brand-focused and more about deepening relationships that in the end will help grow the brand.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal is reportedly set to pull out all the stops in the hope of signing compatriot Arjen Robben in January, in a move that could have some bet fair fans tipping the club for a surprise Premier League title charge.
The United boss has worked with Robben during his time as Netherlands' head coach and is desperate for the winger to join him at Old Trafford this winter.
Robben's previous spell in the Premier League came during his three-year stint with Chelsea between 2004 and 2007, and Van Gaal is now hoping to tempt the forward with a return to England in January.
Following his move to Real Madrid from Chelsea, Robben enhanced his reputation as one of European football's best players before then making the move to Bayern in 2009 and going on to establish himself as one of the club's most important players.
He has since played a starring role in Bayern picking up 11 trophies during the past six seasons, including three Bundesliga titles, three German cups and the 2013 Champions League.
German giants Bayern have made it clear they have no intention of letting their prize asset depart in the near future, although a bid of around £24million could be enough to tempt Bayern to sell a player who is nearing his 31st birthday.
This could become even more of a possibility should Robben come out and make it known he wanted to move.
Robben's relationship with the United manager has always been good and was solidified further during last summer's World Cup when the then Holland head coach built much of his plans around the forward.
Knowing his next contract could well be his last major deal, a big-money move to Old Trafford could well tempt Robben – as could the prospect of a fresh challenge at this point in his career.
United have made no secret of the fact that they are willing to back Van Gaal in the transfer market in order to get the club back to the top of English football, and it could be that Robben is the first of many new players to arrive at Old Trafford between now and the start of the 2015/16 season.
