Online and Telephone Therapy and Coaching
Our online, email and telephone therapy and coaching service can be helpful for clients who find regular, face-to-face meetings difficult to manage. This may be for a number of reasons, but can be particularly useful for clients who travel around for work or for people who live and work some distance from our centres.
Online therapy
Online therapy is similar to a normal therapy session in that you can see and hear your practitioner (and them you). Many of our practitioners have experience working with clients using online technologies and this type of therapy option has proven particularly popular for clients who find themselves unable to attend regular face-to-face sessions due to working patterns, mobility issues, or living/working in a remote location.
How our email therapy and coaching service works
Our email service can work in one of two ways:
- A real-time exchange where you and your practitioner both agree a date and time to sit down at your computers and correspond by email for a period of 50 minutes.
- A delayed-time exchange where you and your practitioner 'meet' for a session over a period of time. Over this time, say a week, your practitioner then spends 50 minutes reading and responding to your emails.
Our email service is subject to the same contracting and fee arrangements as the other therapies we offer. It is possible to undertake both email therapy with face-to-face therapy and indeed, we have found this combination to be most beneficial when using email technology for therapy.
Telephone therapy and coaching
Telephone therapy operates in the same way as a regular face-to-face session. The only difference being that you and your practitioner will arrange a date and time to talk by telephone. More and more clients are opting to work this way as it can be highly effective.
How do I find out more about online, email and telephone therapy or book a session?
If you would like to know more about online, email and telephone session or wish to book an initial session with a counsellor, psychotherapist, psychologist or CBT therapist, please contact us. We would be happy to hear from you.

... welcomes your Thursday lunch break I'm tiny Rivera out ... L A gets a bad rap ... air pollution but a new study says pollution in Los Angeles is down sharply from two decades ago ... and telling residents especially children are healthier because of it ... James gotten from the University of Southern California's Department of preventive medicine lead that study Annie's here to tell us more about his findings thank the much for being with us things ... my pleasure ... so at your study in a more positive than most on pollution what's the good news ... the good news here is that the shares got much cleaner and Southern California ... and as our is open ended as a result our children's lungs are ... our betters well ... what's to account for this improvement ... well there's been a variety of control strategies that have gone into place over the last several decades ... that have ... gone after ship emissions car emissions truck emissions ... and stationery store submissions from refineries and factories and ... collectively ... they've managed to improve ... their quality ... dramatically over the last two decades despite increases in economic activity in more traffic on our roads ... that is excellent indeed what are the risks to children ... who live in highly polluted areas and ... how does that impact these children may grow into adults ... well we've documented in the past ... the children are eating more polluted air have reduced low capacity reduced long developments in their teenage years and increased risks of asthma another respiratory ... conditions ... children that transitioned and into adulthood with reduced lung capacity there might be set up for a lifetime ... of ... reduced to about health ... with respect to their ... long held as well as ... reduced lifespan leader in the right ... and how widespread has this been an ally a way when it was traditionally more polluted ... well it communities that we study to really representative of all the way the sentence to be ... the dramatic improvements for some loot was as much as fifty percent decline over the last two decades ... are really representative of the trends that are happening ... more generally in L a and and are happening across the country all that's very exciting news let me you realize that now with the time to revisit ... the issue pollution in Los Angeles ... well as I mentioned we we have been conducting children's health study for twenty years ... and that has allowed ... them to track ... it differ cohorts children over that ... period so we were very lucky that ... as our study was going on the air quality was improving every link provided ... the backdrop for a natural experiment will we see when that proved inequality ... was linked to to help these children that we are monitoring for so long ... and fourteen point one most important reform ... that other cities should adopt a pet topic to learn from this ... you know really I think when we we look at the ... the rest of the reforms that happened over the past twenty years ... it's really been the collective ... control strategies for a variety of sources as mentioned before a ... echoing after current mentioned struck mission ship intentions etc ... and so going for acting with the projections for increased traffic and increased economic activities ... it is going to be essential to keep an eye on ... new technologies ... so that we don't lose those games that we have one last twenty years half of the day I think you so much for that ... my pleasure ... and the most common cause of sudden cardiac arrest and un American athletes is usually preventable by a routine electric car hit them ... until a growing number of NCAA teams are adopting the test ... even though the American heart Association doesn't recommend it ... here with the story is doubly SJ reporter Sharon Terlep Sharon thank so much for being with us to be here so I took the test are we talking about this is this simple to scrap its a simple test it's now been based in it's it's not very expense it so was it costed me he talked to the people who feel the stress student aid and ... cost really isn't a reason and what exactly is looking for it's looking for I think Ricky regular regions in the hot so you know it's pretty effective at catching disappears causes of sudden cardiac so listening to this the simple path is not expensive that if they can save lives one would think why doesn't everyone do it so why doesn't the American heart Association recommends it ... the association's concerns is that we have there's often false positives and so when you get a false positive that's when you have to get the ballots have better more expensive ... they're worried that he knows he kids will get play build it they will feel the place for it feeling that disqualifying people inherently may ... be eons is a really really free air conditioning it's just not worth ... a mass text Incorporated the litigation component to this is well and others in other words if some schools recommended and others require it ... the ones that say that do require its ... that means screenings could then be open to litigation ... I think that's the concern I that's the concern with this is can it be to be right now over whether the NCAA will traction recommends me cuz that's when did the real pressure happens ... in the legal experts say the fact that the American heart Association ... said you don't have to do this past data for its legal protection to schools that don't do it and yet many schools are adopting and for some of the big name sports schools that have recently adopted discuss share Nenad actually about half of me and seeing the cars in the power back ... into the big schools ... with half of them are doing it schools like Kentucky schools like C and very ... slippery us all added to the schools are doing it Florida is doing it ... acquiring a recommending them acquiring a cell in some of the schools that Bill Allen and we kept outbidding the school that would require ... him to clean schools that don't require it and that doing a lot of them anyway because they have a fairly well by ... because of that I want my child to take this exam even with the rest of the false prophet that ... he he ... he that knowledge is power here so where do parents know if they do have athletic ... young people that they're worried about what they can to get this test done at the school doesn't happen ... they can go to their own factor is the case and that there could be insurance questions that it's not so magically he had a big factor has increased credit but also there's a number of high school the program's red high school sports for ballot your groups and started doing them for free so it's something to look into if your kids at high school feeding going and how it's so important it is such great information sharing thank you so much for that ... after the break how important are in this new schools rankings really we will be on the high stay with us ... how important our business school's ranking well for the handful of top tier schools not so much ... but go any further down the NBA ladder and many say those rankings are critical here with the story is doubly SJ reporter Lindsay Gellman Muncie think so much for being with us can see in ... this world rankings are a sensitive topic among business school administrator is our day it seems like they're often playing them down in public ... right so it's it's this tricky line to walk where it's great to have a good drinking but you don't wanna touted too much ... on you ... never know what next year will bring I really don't think the Fed to me and ... I'm as I'm sure will will ... discuss ... different outlets MITI school is different not least let's talk about that Papa consider breaking outlets the ones that everybody pays attention to ... so seven eight three ERA and clinic's BusinessWeek the financial Times and The Economist and their bunch of others as well and US News and World report ... does rankings on Ford's doesn't rankings ... and that the stated intention of the top of the categories that ... I ... still feel like that and he programs promptly ... aam and and they're also looking at executive NBA and some other upper ten programs ... and within that they would get to the criteria so aam ... some of the rankings outlets look at ... admission statistics league team at swears ... others will look at alumni satisfaction ... from ... the wreckage faculty output and whose publishing liking journalists and seeks to combine different permutations of those net income of alumni in a bad idea ... so what are the things that are most important things because it is fully in our perspective students fully admit they look at these rankings that matter a pact ... yes I think it's gonna depend on the student attended the scene is interested in taking that perspective seems to be looking a bunch of the different rankings ... on the hill to look at things like on that the starting salary ... on its beak service factor there ... and just generally with the school is falling ... so tell us who are some of the top performers that have consistently rank high on the list ... yes it's a year in year out and Chicago Booth does really well across the makings on Harvard is is usually in the top ten ... as a Stanford ... and down there some schools that are sort of climbing their way out and Yale school of Management ... was on rounds twenty one am and expects this weekend it on to number six this here so ... aam there there been some improvements ... to the test of top name schools here that make them up and down a little bit but they're always ... up there how important that isn't for everyone else what the implications for school rises up the ranks ... still the school to slow down it's trying to get in Sydney the the top twenty five top twenty schools ... on what the mind and are better prospective students and better faculty and then as a bigger slice of the recruiters ... so the better the team had he been more selective or recruiter ... would wanna come to the school to check out the student ... becomes a self protecting cycling interaction I get more alumni donations the gas industrial cutting gas that Clayton's is the captain of a gallon it would be taking them but that ... didn't take a break of the right that that might like to compare the second ... sitting at your desk taking a peek at your Facebook page and suddenly getting the pop up message from your boss telling you to get back to work well and could easily happen with new software summer for two had digital tattle tales ... but programs allowing players to keep a close eye on their employees' internet usage ... season Solovic small business expert and media director for the small business entrepreneurship Council ... joins us now to explain season think so much for being with us thinking my pleasure Winterstein you might expect something like this ... kind of spyware a government agency or a financial services Agency but this is across the board now it is a lot of small businesses are gearing and ... aam it's a software package that is pretty easy to install ... it's inexpensive in some cases even furry and allows you to really monitor what your employees are doing some these programs work exactly ... while there and start buying your network administrator ... and so there's several different types of let's say one program for example just gives you real-time updates in a report form ... that shows you what your employees are doing online ... and here's the scary thought that the statistics ... the average employee spend sixty minutes in every hour checking social hour nap ... value now I ... why the employer might winnow what's going on the other ones are more elaborate it sort of like you've ever been into security office with the big screen ... with a video cameras he gives you a screen shots of every employee's activity what they're doing right and then finally there's one that just works like with keystrokes so you can install the software and in certain words trigger report back your boss or manager and then you can address the media it's only Tuesday because I think most employees Assam that they can expect privacy at work ... but you should probably reveal this year and play Scrabble that's the catch you know once it's installed an employee doesn't really know it's there there's no way a tactic ... but in your right the question is do you have a reasonable expectation of privacy when you're using a company owned by Peter that the cat yet so that in theory I think that most employment lawyers would tell you ... can actually the software providers themselves recommend that you do disclose this year ... to year employees and interesting Lee enough some employers of actually said ... just the fact that they're telling their employees that they're being monitored ... actually deters some sweaty guy Johnny abide by the the the the the ay with ... exactly the is ... also a big opportunity for abuse on the part of the implanted say he belongs here she wants a certain political party and finds out that ... apparently is done at the same views and the insights let him down right now we even even just think they just don't agree with like one business owner or sad that his business is ... based on family values so he wanted the software make sure that employees were only going to family oriented websites ... know what does that mean ... really ... now and of course there's the risk that maybe it would be a religious decision ... any terminate employees they can open yourself up the liability ... so if you're going to install the software tapped idea ... you've got to use it for constructive purposes ... to manager business patter ... on obviously employers don't want their employees stealing information are doing something illegal are fraudulent and then of course also the productivity jackets jeans being clear about it that's right the idea out there have been riding my bike always is to put it in writing at the advice isn't all that thinking semi that can take a break it'll be right back in thirty seconds to go ... when will the bigger I've had a rock the law Street Journal is reporting Apple suppliers have been told to start production on a larger screen I pad ... for the second half of this year ... delay in earlier stand tall as Apple tweaks designed deatails ... we're joined now by Wall Street Journal Apple reporter taste K walk a biopsy from San Francisco ... I'll have one of our production in the first quarter of two thousand fifteen have given a delay when might this you might have ... yes I think of production starts in the second half we can expect that the coming year end product ... you know the bigger the screen or twelve point nine inch I've had this kind of one of Apple's at times to kind of ... um ... target the corporate market with the I pad which has been caught out lying a little bit amongst the aam organic consumers ... compared to how you know the I phone has been so right now we know that I've had sales of and continuing ... to decline said that would be a huge market for them to capture what are some of the design tweaks that they're hoping will make this team I've had more attractive that market ... yet one other things that Apple's considering is to put a USB port into ... the I pad and while that may not seem like a Q staying ... up for a cut of corporate customers it is a pretty easy in them ... and Caden importantly transfer data between ... different devices and such ... and you know the sudden Micra soft which has its own tablet called the surface Pro ... they've had a USB ... port in their tablet and that that's true fairly popular in in in their device ... now ... many of these features of Apple is considering adding to the I pad like he said he is the ports the keyboard and mouse connections ... makes it sounds to me almost like a full-blown laptop alternative ... could that be what this I've had to be counted ... I think there is slight blurring of lines here and in the MacBook air is going to be about ... thirty he knows already thirteen inches than eleven inches and there's talk of a twelve inch MacBook Air as well ... and so you have all these ... devices with its much the same screen size ... but I think that Apple will still try to keep the kind of the basic ... aam appeal the I pad to be the same time it's portable it's easy to come to turn on and just start museum right away ... aam and that the software will be closer to you know that will be busy with the software that runs on I phone I and so you know while the overmighty looks similar similarities here and then I think you'll still be a pretty distinctive product ...

Our High Yield strategies combine dynamic sector rotation and intensive credit research.
Intensive fundamental credit research within a top-down framework underpins our High Yield investment process. Our goal is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns with a focus on capital preservation. We believe dynamic management of sector and industry exposures also enhances long-term performance. We are careful to avoid late cycle excesses in this process.
Fundamental credit analysis is the cornerstone of our investment process. We strive to take advantage of capital market dislocations, based on our fundamental sector and industry views and valuations. At Stone Harbor:
- Sector and industry allocations are a function of our economic outlook and industry view
- Focus is on companies with seasoned management, solid financials, good liquidity, appropriate leverage and/or asset protection over the cycle
- Risk is managed through portfolio diversification at both the industry and sector levels as well as at the individual company level
We offer a flexible range of high yield portfolios that may be customized to focus on specific credit quality targets such as our BB & B strategy. Portfolios may include tactical allocations to European high yield, convertibles, loans and special situations. These components of broader strategies may also be available as standalone portfolio offerings.
Our High Yield Core and BB & B strategies focus on the developed nations' high yield corporate markets, while our High Yield strategy has the flexibility to invest in emerging markets debt.

In the ramshackle apartment blocks and sooty concrete homes that line the dusty roads of urban
It is cheaper than a car, and arguably more life-changing in steamy regions, where cooling can make it easier for a child to study or a worker to sleep.
But as air-conditioners sprout from windows and storefronts across the world, scientists are becoming increasingly alarmed about the impact of the gases on which they run. All are potent agents of
Air-conditioning sales are growing 20 percent a year in China and India, as middle classes grow, units become more affordable and temperatures rise with climate change. The potential cooling demands of upwardly mobile
Air-conditioning gases are regulated primarily though a 1987 treaty called the Montreal Protocol, created to protect the ozone layer. It has reduced damage to that vital shield, which blocks
But these gases have an impact the ozone treaty largely ignores. Pound for pound, they contribute to global warming thousands of times more than does carbon dioxide, the standard greenhouse gas.
The leading scientists in the field have just calculated that if all the equipment entering the world market uses the newest gases currently employed in air-conditioners, up to 27 percent of all global warming will be attributable to those gases by 2050.
So the therapy to cure one global environmental disaster is now seeding another. "There is precious little time to do something, to act," said Stephen O. Andersen, the co-chairman of the treaty's technical and economic advisory panel.
The numbers are all moving in the wrong direction.
Atmospheric concentrations of the gases that replaced CFCs, known as HCFCs, which are mildly damaging to the ozone, are still rising rapidly at a time when many scientists anticipated they should have been falling as the treaty is phasing them out. The levels of these gases, the mainstay of booming air-conditioning sectors in the developing world, have more than doubled in the past two decades to record highs, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
And concentrations of the newer, ozone-friendly gases are also rising meteorically, because industrialized countries began switching to them a decade ago. New room air-conditioners in the United States now use an HFC coolant called 410a, labeled "environmentally friendly" because it spares the ozone. But its warming effect is 2,100 times that of carbon dioxide. And the treaty cannot control the rise of these coolants because it regulates only ozone-depleting gases.
The treaty timetable requires dozens of developing countries, including China and India, to also begin switching next year from HCFCs to gases with less impact on the ozone. But the United States and other wealthy nations are prodding them to choose ones that do not warm the planet. This week in
But she faces resistance because the United States is essentially telling the other nations to do what it has not: to leapfrog this generation of coolants. The trouble is, there are currently no readily available commercial ozone-friendly alternatives for air-conditioners that do not also have a strong warming effect — though there are many on the horizon.
Nearly all chemical and air-conditioning companies — including DuPont, the American chemical giant, and Daikin, one of
But these products require regulatory approvals before they can be sold, and the development of new safety standards, because the gases in them are often flammable or toxic. And with profits booming from current cooling systems and no effective regulation of HFCs, there is little incentive for countries or companies to move the new designs to market.
"There are no good solutions right now — that's why countries are grappling, tapping in the dark," said Rajendra Shende, the recently retired head of the
An Unanticipated Problem
The 25-year-old Montreal Protocol is widely regarded as the most successful environmental treaty ever, essentially eliminating the use of CFC coolants, which are highly damaging to the ozone layer. Under its terms, wealthier countries shift away from each harmful gas first, and developing countries follow a decade or more later so that replacement technologies can be perfected and fall in price.
Concentrations of CFC-12, which had been growing rapidly since the 1960s, have tapered off since 2003, thanks to the treaty's strict phaseout schedule. In 2006,
But that sense of victory has been eclipsed by the potentially disastrous growth in emissions from the newer air-conditioning gases. While a healthier ozone layer itself leads to some warming, far more warming results from the tendency of these coolant gases to reflect back heat radiating off the Earth.
When the treaty set its rules in the mid-1980s, global warming was poorly understood, the cooling industry was anchored in the West, and demand for cooling was minuscule in developing nations.
That has clearly changed.
Jayshree Punjabi, a 40-year-old from Surat, was shopping for an air-conditioner at Vijay Sales in Mumbai on a recent afternoon. She bought her first one 10 years ago and now has three. "Now almost every home in Surat has more than one," she said. "The children see them on television and demand them."
Refrigeration is also essential for these countries' shifting food supplies. "When I was a kid in Delhi, veggies came from vendors on the street; now they all come from the supermarket," said Atul Bagai, an Indian citizen who is the United Nations ozone program's coordinator for South
In 2011, 55 percent of new air-conditioning units were sold in the Asia Pacific region, and the industry's production has moved there. Last year,
With inexpensive HCFC-22 from Asia flooding the market, efforts to curb or eliminate its use have been undercut, even in the United States. For example, although American law now forbids the sale of new air-conditioners containing HCFC, stores have started selling empty components that can be filled with the cheap gas after installation, enabling its continued use.
Trying to Adapt the Treaty
During a four-day meeting in Montreal in April, about 200 representatives attending the protocol's executive committee meeting clashed over how to adapt to the changing circumstances. Should they be concerned with ozone protection, climate change or both?
As developing countries submitted plans to reduce reliance on HCFCs in order to win United Nations financing for the transition, delegations from richer nations rejected proposals that relied on HFCs, because of their warming effect.
Phasing out HFCs by incorporating them into the treaty is one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce global warming, said Durwood Zaelke, president of the Institute for Governance and Sustainable Development.
But India, China and
Said Suely Carvalho, the Brazilian-born chief of the United Nations Development Program's Montreal Protocol and Chemicals Unit: "The developing countries are already struggling to phase out, and now you tell them, 'Don't do what we did.' You can see why they're upset."
Commercial interests foster the stalemate. Though the protocol aggressively reduces the use of HCFC-22 for cooling, it restricts production on a slower, more lenient timetable, and as a result, output has grown more than 60 percent in the past decade. Even in the United States, HCFC-22 is still profitably manufactured for use in older appliances, export and a few other industrial purposes that do not create significant emissions, like making Teflon.
Politically influential manufacturers like Gujarat Fluorochemicals in India, Zhejiang Dongyang Chemical Company in China and Quimobásicos in
For their part, manufacturers are reluctant to hurry to market new technologies that are better for the climate, until they get a stronger signal of which ones countries will adopt, said Mack McFarland, an atmospheric scientist with DuPont.
Othmar Schwank, a Swiss environmental consultant who has advised the United Nations, said: "In many countries, these targets will be very difficult to achieve. With appliances growing in India and China, everyone is making money, so they want to delay this as much as possible."
Technologies Stalled
The Montreal Protocol originally gave the developing countries until 2040 to get rid of HCFCs, but its governing board accelerated that timetable in 2007. "We saw consumption going through the roof," said Markus Wypior, of the German government agency GIZ Proklima. The new schedule says developing countries must "stabilize" consumption of HCFCs by Jan. 1, and reduce it by 10 percent by 2015.
But the industry is growing so fast that meeting the targets, which were based on consumption in 2009-10, would now require a 40 percent reduction from current use in India. Many countries, including India, are trying to satisfy their 2013 mandate with one-time fixes that do not involve the cooling sector — for example, replacing HCFC-22 with another gas in making foam. Meeting the next reduction target, in 2015, is expected to be much harder.
In the meantime, the Montreal Protocol has started using its limited tools to prod developing countries moving from HCFCs toward climate-friendly solutions, offering a 25 percent bonus payment for plans that create less warming. Experts say that is not sufficient incentive for the drastic changes needed in machine design, servicing, manufacturing and regulation.
Promising technologies wait, stalled in the wings. In China and a few other countries, room air-conditioners using hydrocarbons — which cause little warming or ozone depletion — are already coming off assembly lines in small numbers but have not yet been approved for sale, in part because the chemicals are flammable.

But when will they be on the market? Even small steps forward have been frustrated.
Last year the
But this year, the European Union postponed the plan: Chinese factories that make the compound are still in the process of obtaining government registration. The patent, owned by Honeywell, is being disputed. And the German government has still not finished safety testing.
Said Mr. Wypior, whose agency is trying to promote climate-friendly air-conditioning industries in India and China: "The technologies are available. They're well known. They're proven — though not at scale. So why aren't we moving?"
An article on Thursday about coolant gases for air-conditioners that contribute to global warming misspelled the name of a Japanese manufacturer that has developed air-conditioners and gases that do not have that problem. It is Daikin, not Daiken.
An article on June 21 about coolant gases for air-conditioners that contribute to global warming misspelled the name of a coolant manufacturer in Mexico. It is Quimobásicos, not Quimbasicos.

|The Nectar Hills Farm Store in Cherry Valley, NY
If you've recovered from being pepper sprayed, shot, stampeded, trampled, corralled, gouged, or head-butted at the hands of cops or fellow shoppers, we suggest you take a little time to patronize a small business today--Small Business Saturday.
Despite the crap you hear from Republicans about uncertainty and too many regulations being the reason businesses aren't doing too well in this post-George-Bush world, small business owners are overwhelmingly saying that it is lack of customers that is hurting their businesses.
So get out there and buy something from a small business. And try to make it a regular thing, would you? Small businesses will not succeed without customers, and Wal Mart and China could spare a few.
If you're up here in Central New York, our little village of Cherry Valley is full of small businesses that could use some help, like the Nectar Hills Farm Store, Goldpetals Natural Body Care products, or the Rose and Kettle restaurant.

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Work on the first phase of the Vizhinjam international container transhipment terminal project will be launched this month, Minister for Ports and Youth Affairs V. Surendran Pillai has said.
Addressing a meet-the-press programme at the Thiruvananthapuram Press Club on Thursday, Mr. Pillai said the first phase would lay thrust on developing infrastructure facilities. Road and rail connectivity were imperative for developing the port. Works costing Rs.450 crore would be taken up in the first phase.
He said nearly 120 acres of land would be needed for developing the port. About 30 acres would be needed for laying roads. The expression of interest for the project had so far elicited 50 enquiries. Already two bidders had come forward, he said.

Fatal Mistakes
Jason Pere
"Don't overdo it, love. You still need to take care of me later," said Bess as Liam emptied the second pitcher of hard cider he had been working on since entering the Cornerstone tavern.
"I've still got plenty left for you, lass. I can hold my spirits," Liam rebutted with slurred speech and eyes that were beginning to turn bloodshot. He enjoyed the warm and inviting smile that Bess gave him. He knew it was rehearsed but it didn't matter to him. The illusion of genuine company was just as good as the real thing, considering his present state of intoxication. "In fact why don't you bring a third pitcher? I'm awfully far in front and you have some catching up to do," Liam continued with a few hiccups and smile of his own.
Bess batted her thick painted eyelashes and tucked her hair back behind her ears. As she did so Liam noted the heavy strakes of white that accented Bess' raven black hair. His eyes wandered to the deep lines around her mouth where her make up could only hide so much. As she got up and left the table Liam saw just how matronly her appearance was. In any finer such establishment a woman of Bess' years would be running the younger girls and not working alongside them. Still Liam marveled at how the woman had managed to keep an undeniable enticing quality about herself even into the deep autumn of her days. Liam had not expected to find her so pleasant upon his first visit the Cornerstone. Her company was all he could afford with the near depleted winnings of his last foray into the Cage. The Rayward man was wholly surprised to find how much of a bargain the past few nights with her had actually been. Liam wondered if perhaps she was legitimately fond of him. He doubted it. It was more than likely that Bess was just an expert in her craft. The former Master of Arms chuckled to himself at how appropriate her company was. He, a once legendary military man and Bess, clearly a master of the lust trade, now both reduced to lurking in the most poverty stricken district of Blackcloud. It was tragically perfect.
As Liam waited for Bess to return with the next round of drink he was hit with a sobering reality. With his present funds he was going to have to fight again if he wanted to stay at the Cornerstone past the night. This pushed an even greater conundrum onto the fighting man. He was well on his way to blacking out, that was his intention after all, however he was no longer able to recover from his nights of revelry like he could in his youth. It would be prudent to stop his antics right now and head for fresh water and a good night's sleep if he wanted to be at his best for the Cage. Were it not for the fact that Liam knew his mind would only think of Amurai and laden him with the grief of his recently departed hound dog then he would have already retired for the evening. As it had been for some time, there was little chance for the Rayward man to slip into slumber without the help of vast amounts of drink. Liam was in the midst of a mental debate between continuing his pleasure seeking and discretion when he saw Bess making her way thru the cluttered tavern with a foaming pitcher in her grasp. As their eyes met and she gave him a sultry seductive smile any desire for sleep was exiled from Liam's mind. Bess pored two mountainous tankards of spirits and slid back into her spot at the table next to Liam. The Rayward man felt how good it was to have a full glass in his hands and a soft woman at his side. The pair carried on as they had and all notion of things like regret, restraint or tomorrow vanished from Liam's thoughts.
"I think I need to step outside for a moment," Liam grumbled as he halted Bess from refilling his cup again. He held a hand over his weary eyes to help shut out the light which had suddenly become so abrasive. He felt a miserable rumbling in his gut and it felt like his stomach was flipped upside-down.
"What is all this love, I thought you were just getting started," Bess said as she tenderly stroked the scared flesh of Liam's solid forearm in a fashion that he was much too drunk to enjoy. Liam tried to laugh but instead managed a foul belch. Bess did a wonderful job of pretending like the revolting rush of alcohol scented air never happened.
"I am just being a gentleman. You are at least three behind me right now and need to make up some ground. I want to see your cup empty by the time I come back," Liam bumbled as he stood and swaggered from side to side.
"You better not take too long. I don't like being lonely," Bess said in her most alluring voice.
"I wouldn't dream of keeping you waiting a moment longer than necessary," Liam said as he sloppily avoided stumbling over his great-maul that was lying beside the table. He cast one look back over his shoulder at Bess when she was not looking. He couldn't tell if it was real or an act but the sad expression on her face seemed to tell the Rayward man that he had been her first serious customer in a long time. The forlorn expression etched on the woman's face made her age stand out exponentially and it also told Liam that he would likely be one of Bess' last customers before the wickedness of time claimed the last of her looks.
Liam staggered thru the back hall of the Cornerstone and scrambled to find the exit into the street. His belly was not his friend right now and all he wanted to do was get away from the bright lights and stink of sweat and alcohol. He knew that the air in the streets of Blackcloud was far from pleasant to the nose but at least it was cooler and darker outside. The tavern felt overbearing and Liam's stomach rumbled with distress. He needed to get outside as quick as he could. Liam burst thru the back door into the alley.
The open atmosphere of the street was of greater comfort to the Rayward man but his constitution was rapidly wearing thin. He made his way thru the alleys and mist filled streets. He wanted to get some place that the building were not so close together. The tiny thruways of the city constricted the bulky frame of the former Master of Arms. Liam wandered aimlessly taking each new turn and corner hoping to find a path that was not so confined. His unfamiliarity with Blackcloud and the level of inebriation that he was brought to made navigating the shadowed streets a disastrous affair. The Rayward man's body was in outright rebellion and he knew that he would not be able to hold his drink much longer.
Liam stepped around one more twist in the road before he had to stop. The large Rayward man clutched his gut in pain and doubled over. He started forcing his body to come under his command. Soon Liam realized that he was not alone in the alley. He heard the sound of a man's voice cut thru the darkness.
"I am he who serves," said the voice.
Liam looked up from where he was bent over and saw the unmistakable red cloak of a Vermillion Councilman. On either side of the man in scarlet were men wearing dark clothes and brandishing weapons. The men in black stopped when they saw the enormous Rayward man stumble into the midst of what was going on. The Councilman quickly glanced at Liam before returning his focus back to the collection of armed men.
The black clocked assailant nearest the Councilman held up a hand and halted the advance of the other similarly dressed figure. After commanding his subordinate to cease the man pointed a gloved finger at Liam and spoke. "You have no business here. Be on your way," said the man with a voice that was reminiscent of gravel and sand.
Liam could not speak as the pain in his belly was too great and his throat was clamped up from all the heavy drinking. He only waived dismissively at the person who had just ordered him to leave.
"Are you deaf? Get out!" Barked the man in black.
Liam still was not able to gather enough of his wits to speak. He stood up as straight as he could manage and gave the dark cloaked villain an unruly stare that spoke volumes.
The lead man in black said no more. He only gave his underling an instructive thrust of his chin in Liam's direction. The second man turned his attention from the boxed in Vermillion Councilman and approached Liam. The Rayward man knew that he had just got himself into a fight and more than likely a deadly one. He took no time to think or strategize. Once his enemy was within striking distance Liam threw a crushing overhand punch. The blow would have knocked any man unconscious and even killed some of weaker constitution but the dark clad man skillfully sidestepped the blow and counted with a precision counter punch right into Liam's solar plexus.
The air was instantly forced out of Liam's body and his knees buckled. Liam felt like he was drowning. His breath had been stolen and his lungs were in a state of confusion. The sensation put Liam into a blind drunken rage. All pain was pushed aside and the only thing that resonated within the former Rayward Master of Arms was the instinct of a true solider and unequaled warrior. Liam took his attacker by surprise as he launched forward despite the anesthetizing strike he just endured. Before the black clad man could bring steel to bear Liam had transformed his impressively wide body into a human battering ram and slammed the figure into one of the stone walls that lined the alley. The man crumpled to the ground after the impact, his lungs punctured by broken ribs.
After a moment of disbelief that was shared by all, the Councilman called out to Liam. "Behind!"
The Rayward man spun to face two more black cloaked attackers. He was quick on his feet considering his age, size and most of all the volume of sprits he had consumed so far. He was not fast enough to avoid the first blow of his new assailants. A short sword rammed into Liam's flesh and lodged in the bone of his hip. In a frenzied animalistic rage the Rayward man's arm shot out and met the first of his new attackers in the face with the heel of his palm. The man dropped to the ground attempting to scream in pain but unable to amid the mouthful broken tooth fragments and fount of blood that sprayed from his shattered nose. Liam stopped the man from writhing on the cobblestone with a stomp of his sizable boot upon the assassins neck.
Liam was able to move out of the way the next foe's blade that would have opened his throat. The weapon still cut a jagged line as it sliced across the Rayward man's jaw. Liam grit his teeth and grasped his newest enemy by the head. The alley was filled with horrible moaning and blood curdling screaming for a few seconds as Liam dug his thumbs into the man's eyes. Blinded and dead the third attacker joined his compatriots in the grime underfoot.
Liam felt a shooting pain erupt in his chest as a blade found its mark between his shoulders. The weapon missed the Rayward man's heart by the smallest of margins. Liam whipped around and locked eyes with the man who had stabbed him. It was the black cloaked figure who had commanded the others. Liam's final adversary was drawing a second blade from his waist. Liam paid no heed to his wounds and lifted the black cloaked man off his feet and then threw him to the ground. The man's head smacked against the street with a disgusting splat and he lay still amid the other corpses.
As quick as it had begun the fight was over. Somehow, drunk and bleeding rampantly Liam was managing to keep his feet. His breath was shaky and erratic and he swayed from side to side. He finally came to lean against the wall of the alley with one hand while he tried to stem the bleeding on his hip with the other.
The Councilman cautiously approached Liam but stayed out of arms reach. With wide eyed wonder and deference the red robed man spoke, "I…I am Father Mazeon. You saved me from…I cannot…who are you?" stammered the Councilman.
Liam looked at the person he had just unwittingly rescued from some dire plight. He battled fatigue, open wounds, drunkenness and a monstrously upset stomach in order to speak. "I am…I…I am…I am sorry," Liam gurgled as he lost the battle he had been fighting with his gut. From the bottom of his stomach, the Rayward man loosed a spew of alcohol and chunks of partially digested shepherd's pie all over the Vermillion Councilman. Then, for Liam there was only the sweet black void of nothing.

Statistics from Altmetric.com
National Health Service (NHS) surveys have consistently shown that a considerable proportion of staff (more than 36% in 2016) report feeling 'unwell due to work-related stress'.1 In addition, the General Medical Council (GMC) recently published reviews on medical education and practice2 and on national training.3 These concluded that 'a state of unease exists within the medical profession'.4 The GMC's assessment was echoed by the Royal College of Physicians,5 and work-related stress may even have been implicated in the suicides of young doctors.6 Overwork, low morale and mental health issues undoubtedly affect the medical workforce7 and are likely to have contributed to the first industrial action for decades following threatened imposition of a new contract.8 Strikingly, a recent survey of 30 000 nurses revealed that 53% felt 'upset/sad' because they could not deliver the level of care they wanted.9 Emotional well-being at work is therefore an important issue. In 2013, the Francis Report10 made recommendations directed at promoting compassionate care, including the implementation of Schwartz Center Rounds (SCR). 'Developing People, Improving Lives'—the national improvement and leadership framework—was aimed at addressing this problem and advocates compassionate leadership at all levels of NHS organisations.11
Over the past 8 years, nearly 100 NHS trusts and other organisations (eg, hospices; higher education institutes) have introduced SCR to their settings. The aim is to allow staff from all disciplines to consider their experience of providing care, especially challenging emotional and social issues. It is hoped that by sharing such aspects of work, stress and anxiety can be reduced and thereby the capacity to give more compassionate care to patients enhanced. Our aim in this commentary is to provide an overview of SCR, and describe the organisational processes necessary to set these up. We outline our experience in the hope …

How do internal developers build and develop their skills? There is no single standard. The OD Developer Profile Audit tool was developed by Mike Morrison as part of a PG Diploma in Management and Organisational Development.
Part of the development programme was to maintain a Personal Development Plan throughout the duration of the programme. Rather than just have a wide plan I sat down with my line manager. Together we worked out a set of skills required for the internal consulting role I was embarking on.
Because of my role being an OD change manager and internal consultant, I searched for good practice and developed a range of ideal behaviours. This led to the development of an audit tool (a 360 style review) that I used with my line manager, peers and direct reports. The result of this was used to start my PDP and was used at the end of the Diploma programme as the metrics around which I was reflecting on. This was in addition to the general underpinning knowledge gained from the content of the Diploma program.
Recently I have been asked for this diagnostic, so I have decided to make it available for anyone in the OD/ L&D world that has an element of internal consulting. This is the original tool as developed. Today if doing this from scratch there are things I would change/ add. But that is a project for another day!
To use the OD Developer Profile Audit tool
You can use this as a simple self-audit, but where is the fun and development in that? You may as well just look in the mirror. This works best if you get feedback from others you trust or respect. I strongly recommend at least your line manager. In addition, 3-4 other people.
Then you can compare what people score you. If there is agreement great – it is either a strength or weakness. If there is disagreement, then that is a development need!
I hope you find this useful. download the OD Developer Audit Tool-2 here

UC Browser Unveils Open Add-on Platform for Android to Achieve Advanced Personalization
Sep 04, 2013, 07:00 ET
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- UCWeb, a global leading provider of mobile internet software and services, has just launched the 9.2 version of UC Browser for Android, unveiling an open add-on platform to achieve an advanced personalized browsing experience. This is an exciting news for the mobile browsing market, with the announcement that the company plans to draw upon its user base of 400 million users and work with app developers to develop this open add-on platform.
What is New for Users:
With this 9.2 version, UC Browser provides an open add-on platform that allows users to customize the functions of their browsers. Add-ons can be added or removed as you please. This flexibility in choosing functions allows you to truly meet the demands you have for your mobile browser, without having to have a huge install package.
Among the dozens of new add-ons, there are four particularity interesting ones worth talking about. These four provide solutions to the problems most commonly faced by mobile browser users. These are the Facebook Photo Uploader, Web to PDF, Unzip, and the Translator.
Among the dozens of new add-ons, we have picked four to show off. These four provide solutions to the problems most commonly faced by users. These are the Facebook Photo Uploader, Web to PDF, Unzip, and the Translator.
Facebook Photo Uploader:
Many of you may have encountered difficulties when uploading photos to Facebook, and this new add-on provides the solution to these problems! This add-on shares your photos to Facebook much more easily, and allows you to upload multiple photos at once. An added benefit to this add-on is that it can turn on the function of Facebook push notifications, so you will no longer miss any message from your friends.
Web to PDF:
Since there is a growing need for saving high quality mobile web pages, UC Browser has created an add-on that allows you to save webpages as PDF files to better preserve their content and allow for easier file transferring. These files can be quickly accessed through the browser's Download Management system.
File Unzip:
Having trouble opening RAR or ZIP files on your phone? Get them extracted with the "Unzip" add-on easily.
Taking advantage of the Google Translate and Bing system, this add-on supports more than 70 languages, allowing you to break through almost all the language barriers you need! This add-on supports both whole page translation and individual word translation.
Even more innovative add-ons can be found on the add-on panel by pressing the "+" button.
What is New for Developers
The add-on platform is expected to be officially open to third party developers soon. This opening aims to encourage more third party developers to create a wide array of customized feature add-ons for UC Browser.
The add-on platform enables a bi-direction communication between UC Browser and the Android system's services. In this environment, data sharing is much easier, and the UC Browser API has been standardized, making it more accessible to third party developers via SDK. Programs created by developers can be used in all operating scenarios of UC Browser.
Considering the fierce competition between third party apps in Google Play as well as thousands of other app markets, talented developers should be enthusiastic about joining UC Browser's open-source platform for the opportunity to reach hundreds of millions of users worldwide with little promotional costs.
"We'd like to work with the participants along the value chain, and promote open exchanges between both parties, so as to create the best browsing experience for our users", said Xiaopeng He, President of UCWeb.

I am so excited to be guest designing for Top Dog Dies today! This is my first time using Top Dog Dies and I gotta say I really LOVE them. I have three cards to share with you today, my first card uses the Hot Air Balloon Die Set.
When I first saw this set I wanted to create a sky background with a paper pieced Hot Air Balloon. I found a cloud vellum panel that was perfect for my sky! I die cut the hot air balloon from different pattern papers and fussy cut them at the seam to create a multi colored balloon. Here is a close up.
Next up I have a fun quick and easy Dino card using the Dinosaur Trio Die Set. I die cut the Dino from my card panel and backed it with some pattern paper. Quick, easy and the perfect card to give to my youngest son to let him know how amazing he is!
The last card I have for you today used the Butterfly Mosaic Die. I really love this die.
I die cut the panel using white cardstock and adhered that to my card base. I then die cut the panel again using polka dot vellum and cut apart all of those butterflies and adhered them to the card base. I added some glitter to the centers for a finishing touch. I absolutely love the dimension you get with the vellum layering.
I hope you enjoyed the cards I shared today. I want to thank Top Dog Dies for having me as their guest. Have a great day!

New Hampshire was next, but we made a quick lunch pitstop at Camden, Maine, yet another little seashore tourist haven. It had a pretty little harbor and some lazy waterfowl napping on the rocks:
We ate at Cappy's Chowder House, which finally gave me the intense, garlicky, briny steamed clams I'd been yearning for. Very little grit and each clam burst in your mouth like an overripe fruit. And the garlic. I scrubbed and scrubbed my hands afterward, but smelled it under my nails for the rest of the day.
Also, a good, greaselessly crunchy fried clam po'boy, a cute mini crab roll that could've used more seasoning (specifically, salt), and a good New England-style clam chowder. The hot cider was rimmed with cinnamon and wonderful on a chilly day, but we couldn't savor it for too long. Had to get back on the road for Portsmouth, NH.

"Show, don't tell," is a writer's maxim for a reason: nothing kills drama like turgid exposition. Many contemporary comics still fall into the expository trap, either underestimating the intelligence of the reader or feeling the need to fill the space with important words -- the writer competing with the artist in an attempt to convey meaning.
"Scalped" has consistently been a comic that has used words sparingly, efficiently, and powerfully. "Scalped" #17 carries on that tradition. Jason Aaron allows R.M. Guera to bear much of the story's weight, and he does it with immense skill. Take the opening scene, for example. Six pages, full of great sadness and anger, and yet the protagonist has only two lines of dialogue, total. No caption boxes provide redundant narration. There are no long explanations from the secondary characters. It's just terse dialogue that moves the scene to its climax: the final panel of a dead young boy, a pistol on the ground, and Dashiell Bad Horse standing defiant and dejected.
I don't have the proper unbiased perspective to judge whether or not issue #17 works on its own, out of the context of the "Dead Mothers" arc, out of context of the series as a whole. I've been reading "Scalped" with pleasure since the beginning. But I suspect that even a new reader could jump on board with issue #17 and immediately see what makes this comic so good. It starts with a dead child, lingers on the loss of a mother, establishes the contradictory sides of several characters (the tough Bad Horse breaks down in tears, and the sinister Red Crow shows earnest concern), and ends with blood in a bathtub. A new reader might not know who's who and what's what, but the individual details -- the precise artistry of both Aaron and Guera -- separate this comic from the rest of the Wednesday pack.
It's that precision, those moments which seem both specific and universal, that help make this series so impressive. If it were a typical crime comic, it would start and stop with its central conceit: an undercover FBI agent working inside a corrupt reservation. But that's merely the skeleton of a fully fleshed out world in this series -- a world in which the "evil" Red Crow sincerely mourns the loss of Bad Horse's mother, while the "good" Agent Nitz literally pisses on her grave. A world in which one son is silently zipped up in a body bag while another silently weeps on his mother's front steps. These aren't high-concept characters on a collision course with destiny. They are children, men, and women trying to claw their way through a violent and uncertain future.
"Scalped" is one of the best comics in recent memory, and this beautifully sad conclusion to "Dead Mothers" shows how masterfully Aaron and Guera work together. If you're looking for something more than a typical crime comic, "Scalped" is for you.

Guest Post:?by?Brian Rogers
As we move beyond the festive furore for another year, we're doffing our collective caps to the upcoming awards season with a look back at the mad, the bad and the sad of the last 12 months. So here, in no particular order, is The Weekend Sun's New Year Dishonours List:
Best Fat Loss Programme of the Year: ?Extradition of Dotcom.
Best Fireworks Display: Kim Jong-un for his series of super-duper skyrockets.
Most Spectacular Election Loss Despite the Most Votes: National Party.
Shot Self in Foot Award:? Metiria Turei for trying to milk emotional brownie points but finding it backfires; loses job and any remnants of credibility.
Drop Kick Award: Dan Carter caught drunk driving in France in February. Kicked into touch as brand ambassador for Land Rover.
Really Stupid Award: To the ACC for agreeing to pay thousands of dollars for Pok?mon Go injuries.
Forward Thinking Award: The chap who dug up the Marsden Point fuel pipeline and plunged the top half of the country into fuel shortages including Auckland Airport.
Resort of the Year: Manus Island Retreat. You'll have a smashing time. What a riot. Views to die for…
Stupid Headline of the Year: "Murder Gone Wrong" in the case of Ben McLean's admission of killing his wife and shooting her new partner. When did murder ever go right?
Best Emergency Call of the Year: To the woman who dialled 111 because her dyed hair did not match the colour on the packet and she wanted a refund. Runner-up goes to the guy who called emergency services because he could not turn off the television set.
Silly Idea of the Year: Attempts to shift the school holidays to February when "it's warmer." Then this November-December turns out to be one of the hottest on record. […]
Best Impersonation of the Year: To Jacinda Ardern, in a convincing portrayal of Mrs Trudeau.
Biggest oversight: Goes to Santa Claus, for his outright failure to understand the Kiwi accent (in the recent Air New Zealand ad). After all, it was exactly 375 years ago, just before noon in 1642, that the first European – Dutch explorer Abel Tasman – sighted NZ. You'd think Santa would have this sorted by now.
Deserter of the Year Award: ?The closing down of New Zealand's iconic Cadbury chocolate factory in Dunedin its move to Australia is pretty much up there, yes? We don't want ?croc scales in our chocolate bars.
Dud punt of the year: The Nats put all their money on ?The Bill?, only for this old stayer to run second yet again. Will he get a start next time around?
The Duke of Edinburgh Award: Phil steps down because he can't think of another person in the world to offend.
Worst All Black Set Play of the Year: Aaron Smith's Christchurch Airport ?dunny dalliance.
The Blind Mice Award: All the fawning rugby punters who tried to shift the blame and the shame for Smith's indiscretion onto the people who recorded the evidence.
Best Post-Brexit Extended Scene in a Movie: Goes to the makers of the next James Bond film, which is now an hour-and-a-half longer to accommodate scrutiny of his passport every time he jets between exotic European locations.
Most Inappropriate Use of a Condom Award: Goes to ?Conservative Spokesman? Andrew Roth, who tweeted: ?Trump condoms everything that happened in Charlottesville.? Remember folks, stay safe, use a condemn.
Contradiction of the Year Award: Goes to the UK's propped-up Conservative government, who have pledged more than ?50 million in aid to war-torn Yemen – but not before selling arms worth over ?4 billion to the Saudi coalition that caused the devastation in the first place.
Bittersweet Moment of the Year: Andrew Little watching Jacinda Ardern become Prime Minister.
Paul Walker Driver of the Year Certificate: The guy who took a luge down the Kaimais.
United Future Award for Biggest Political Wipeout: A tie between United Future and Maori Party
Hone Harawira Cup for Maori Activities: Maanu Paul, for claiming the entire foreshore and seabed on behalf of ?all Maori.
The Give and Take Award: Bestowed upon the Auckland intermediate school which collected $3700 for Fiji flood victims before deciding the money could be better spent – on itself.
If you agree with me that's nice, but what I really want to achieve is to make you question the status quo, look between the lines and do your own research. Do not be a passive observer in this game we call life.

Wouldn't this be solved by just doing a rebuild after the reset? -----Original Message----- From: firstname.lastname@example.com [mailto:email@example.com] On Behalf Of Aaron Reed Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2006 2:37 PM To: email@example.com Subject: Re: Reset and insert actions John Boyer wrote: > > Hi Leigh and Aaron, > >... > > Finally, in Aaron's case it is hard to imagine how the new feature could > put the model in a state unachievable by use of an insert action given > the claim that reseting the instance to some initial state is indeed > equivalent to having an extra instance with that initial data and then > inserting it into the instance for which reset is desired.

However with this feature a user will be able to reset one instance without resetting another. So, for example, you could have one instance that has a shopping cart and another instance that shows a person's available credit on a gift card, let's say. If the user makes some selections and the balance is altered to reflect those choices, it would now be possible that the form author to reset the cart and the balance would not be reset. Any calculation/setvalue on the form that doesn't go through the calculate MIP would have this possible exposure. Again, this would be a problem caused by the form author and completely his own doing, but an issue that would not arise with the current reset. That was the point I was trying to make. --AaronReceived on Wednesday, 25 October 2006 19:04:31 UTC
