By Melonie McMichael | STC Member and Instructor of STC's "Technological Adaptability" online course
Technological adaptability is the ability to learn technology quickly and deal with technological issues efficiently and with confidence. It is a skill in and of itself that enhances other technological skills. When we focus on learning technological adaptability rather than just individual technologies, we create skills that that will serve us our entire careers.
So why do technical communicators need to be technologically adaptable?
Take a moment to think about what we do. We take technical ideas and disseminate them to the appropriate audience. We might be creating help files, a training program, marketing materials, or some other form of communication. We might be usability testing or working on user experiences. Our field requires that we not only be comfortable with publication technologies, but also with the technologies we document. Publication technologies often move quickly, as communication technologies fall in and out of fashion.
Technological innovation is moving exponentially for the technologies we document. Many technical communicators work on the bleeding edge of technological innovation. We must be technologically adaptable to keep up with all these technological changes.
I can promise you one thing about the technology of the future: it will change. We need to focus on technological adaptability as a skill in and of itself so that we can meet those changes.
"Technological Adaptability: Growing Your Technical Skills" begins 9 August and runs through 13 September. The course is self-paced for the convenience of attendees. Questions? Contact email@example.com.

"Pole pole" on Kilimanjaro
This was the last Kilimanjaro trip of the season and all six clients made to the top. The group arrived on the 9th August 2014 but in two separate flights. George with his kids arrived from Nairobi while the other three arrived with KLM. First night at our private camp was very special place to be. Driving in darkness from the airport, Michael said, "Ben, what are we going to see?" "Nothing!" I answered in a joking way. It is very dark but we could see some lights in the villages, and in the park before camp we saw a waterbuck and three rabbits. So perhaps I was wrong as we did see something![+] READ MORE

Weather in the Alps Won't Stop the Madness
This summer hasn't been the best in the Alps in terms of the weather and therefore the conditions. It has been raining a lot and the high peaks are covered with fresh snow. The good news is that in the Alps it is fairly easy to go to a different area and still get a great day of alpinism. Following that idea, we just finished a trip in Europe with five summits instead of three.[+] READ MORE

Pik Lenin Expedition Reaches Base Camp
We have arrived at Base Camp to beautiful skies, Pik Lenin rising directly above. The drive to camp took us over a nearly 4000 meter pass, on a highway that, in places, was so damaged there was room only for one vehicle. We drove south from Osh, through the Trans-Altai mountain range, finally emerging into the Alay Valley and the start of the Pamir Range and Pik Lenin. [+] READ MORE

First Report from Pik Lenin Expedition
We have a great group for Pik Lenin, and we had a good first day in the country. We explored the city of Osh and viewed the most famous sights. First we hiked up Sulayman Mountain, the only World Heritage site in Kyrgyzstan. The mountain has been a destination for Muslim and pre-Muslim pilgrimages in this 3000 year old city. The mountain is surrounded by legend and it is said that women who ascend the mountain and crawl through an opening in the holy rock will have healthy children.[+] READ MORE

Most States Ready For GHG Tailoring Rule Implementation
Sep 15: The National Association of Clean Air Agencies (NACAA), representing air pollution control agencies in 53 states and territories and over 165 major metropolitan areas across the United States released a summary indicating that "the vast majority of states are moving full speed ahead and expect to have rules in place to permit greenhouse gases (GHGs) under the higher thresholds in the GHG Tailoring Rule by January 2, 2011, or shortly thereafter [See WIMS 5/14/10]." In the final Tailoring Rule, EPA asked states to send letters to the Agency by August 2, 2010 with information regarding how the state intends to implement the Tailoring Rule. EPA asked each state to respond by indicating whether or not the state needs to undertake a regulatory or legislative process in order to incorporate the provisions of the Tailoring Rule, as well as the timeline for completing any such process.
States were also asked to notify EPA if they do not have any authority to permit GHGs and; if not, to indicate whether or not they intend to revise their rules to include GHGs. NACAA reviewed and briefly summarized letters from all applicable states, as well as those from a number of local and territorial air pollution control agencies. NACAA's analysis shows that the vast majority of states are working quickly to prepare for GHG permitting and incorporate the provisions of the Tailoring Rule into applicable state and local rules and State Implementation Plans (SIPs) as soon as possible. NACAA said, "Nearly 80% of states expect to have rules in place by January 2, 2011 or shortly thereafter. Of the minority of states that will not yet have rules in place by January 2, 2011 or shortly thereafter, most are working to incorporate the provisions of the Tailoring Rule, but will be delayed due to state legislative and/or regulatory requirements."

Our new home (although maybe I shouldn't say new after 6+ months of living here) is still a work in progress. I've mentioned before how I don't have an ounce of interior decorator in me but I do try to keep our home looking cozy and somewhat put together. Kenny hates messes and I'm a messy one but we've found a balance that works for us. He lets me have my designated messy areas as long as they're contained and I let him have his freak outs and obsessive compulsive cleaning moments every other Sunday. I'm also not all that into spending a lot of money on a rental apartment when I'm not sure how long we'll be living there for. The idea of spending thousands of dollars on a nice couch that may or may not fit in with the layout of whatever place we're living in in a couple of years seems a bit silly to me. However, you can do a lot with some pretty pillows, a few decorative accents, some fancy picture frames, and a couple of good smelling (and pretty) candles. John Robshaw and Rebecca Atwood make my favorite pillows and I have a couple of each scattered around our home. For candles I usually turn to Henri Bendel and Dyptique and for home accessories I go online to Lulu & Georgia or Furbish Studio. What are your favorite places to shop for your home?

|Evolution of Atherosclerotic Carotid Plaque Morphology: Do Ulcerated Plaques Heal? A Serial Multidetector CT Angiography Study.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21178351 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Background: Atherosclerotic carotid plaque rupture may lead to thromboembolization, causing transient ischemic attack or ischemic stroke. Carotid plaque ulceration on angiography is associated with plaque rupture. Although healing of ruptured plaques has been described in coronary arteries, little is known about the natural development of plaque ulcerations in carotid arteries. We therefore explored the evolution of carotid plaque surface morphology with serial multidetector CT angiography (MDCTA). Methods: From a registry of patients with transient ischemic attack or minor ischemic stroke, we selected 83 patients who had undergone serial MDCTA of the carotid arteries. Arteries subjected to revascularization procedures between the two scans were excluded (n = 11). Plaque surface morphology was classified as smooth, irregular or ulcerated on both baseline and follow-up MDCTA. Progression (i.e. development of irregularities or ulceration) and regression (i.e. disappearance of irregularities or ulceration) in morphology were evaluated. Results: The mean time interval between the MDCTA scans was 21 ± 13 months. At baseline, 28 (18%) arteries were normal, 124 (80%) contained atherosclerotic plaque and 3 (2%) were occluded. Plaque surface morphology was smooth in 86 arteries (55%), irregular in 23 (15%) and ulcerated in 15 (10%). At follow-up, surface morphology was unchanged in 88% of arteries, had progressed in 8% and regressed in 4%. Most importantly, plaque morphology remained unchanged in most ulcerated plaques (10/15; 67%). One ulcerated plaque had progressed, whereas 4 had regressed. New ulcerations had developed in 2 nonulcerated plaques. Conclusion: MDCTA allows evaluation of temporal changes in atherosclerotic carotid plaque morphology. Plaque surface morphology remained unchanged in most arteries. Carotid ulcerations persist for a long time, and may remain a potential source of thromboembolism.

For fans of Star Wars and/or theater alike, The Force Doth Awaken is a delightful addition to the Shakespeare's Star Wars saga! Doescher's dedication and love of theater shines through every scene, from playful references to BB-8's own iambic verse. I loved this book so much I can hardly wait for the next one.

Will Wright's Spore will create quite a stir when it ships September 7 for the PC. But the Nintendo DS version could end up being just as much of a hit.
Maxis has put a great deal of effort into the DS version of the grandiose life simulator. They've decided to concentrate on the PC version's most compelling feature – the creature creator. You'll make your own crazy monster, assembling paper-thin pre-made parts and resizing them. Then you'll take them out into the world and evolve them, interacting with other ludicrous beings.
Wired.com spoke with Lucy Bradshaw, executive producer of Spore, to get a deeper look into what makes the Nintendo DS version tick.
A couple of DICEs ago, I remember talking to Will very briefly and he said that he did most of his recreational gaming at that point on the Nintendo DS. So it seems he's a big fan of that platform – was that what drove the development of this version of Spore?
Well, the Nintendo DS, at the time, Will was playing it a lot, I play a lot of games on my Nintendo DS, I have kids, I find it easily portable. A lot of it was experimentation in gaming – a lot of new takes and new directions. And I love that about what the platform has allowed us to do, particularly with the stylus controller and the early jump into the online sharing. So it felt like a natural fit. The decision to take a very unique approach to Spore on the DS was born of, let's look at this platform and see what we can best do to enhance the play here. And we also had to address the whole – do we do the whole scope or do we focus on one area?
So we did focus on one area – the "Creature" phase of the game. And then we said, let's make sure we nail the core tenets of what Spore's about. Creativity: I don't know if you got the chance to play with the creature creator. Exploration: Where you're exploring these different worlds, finding parts that allow you to evolve. Evolution: Are you going to be a friendly or an aggressive species? And with the Nintendo DS we added a little bit more of a quest. This idea that you are on a quest to ultimately evolve to the point where you can find the things to help you save your home planet.
Okay, so there is a goal, there's an endgame.
Definitely. There's more structure to it. Even in the PC and Mac versions, there's a goal. Even in The Sims, for instance: The biggest house on top of the hill, and all the stuff. Every one of our games has had that. I think it's more a question of, what's the possibility space that you're exploring?
So how do you play the game, what is it you're doing in terms of gameplay?
For the Nintendo DS, you start as a little species on the planet, and you're just exploring. As you encounter other species, you eat them, or befriend them, or combat with other species. You gain DNA points, similar to what we have on the PC, which allows you to go into the creature creator and expend DNA points to continue to evolve your creature.
You have more parts that give your creature abilities that you didn't previously have. So the part that involves creativity is also a strategic part of the gameplay. And what you decided to make in the creature creator is going to play itself out in the tactics of what is your creature going to experience in the world. So are you going to invest in social parts, or are you going to invest in combat parts? Are you going to try to befriend that mean species in that nest around the corner just to try to get past this next cliff face? Or are you going to try to combat them? If you befriend other species, they'll try to buddy up with you, and they'll help you on your quest.
It has a lot of the same texture that the PC version has, but it's got entirely unique content, it's got a couple of unique areas. Creatures can have bio-powers, they're very fun to use, you use them with your stylus.
What online functionality is in there? You can trade creatures with people?
The creatures that you create, you can save. And then you can decide, I want to show off my favorites. And so then either locally or via Wi-Fi, you can send them to a friend. If I do, they go into the other player's save file too. You can have them appear on their planet. And what it does is, those will be computer-controlled, but it is the creation of other players. It'll show you who made them, and you kind of have that – hey, look at what I made, go see it in the world, interact with it.
That's very similar to what we're doing with the PC, where I can create something in my own world and it can show up in yours. That idea that my creations move from my Nintendo DS over to yours. That's what we call "pollination," and it's really about creativity sharing. It's not a multiplayer game, but it's where your world is always full of new and surprising things because it's from the creations of other players.
Will this happen automatically, like in the PC version? Or is it only if you specifically go online and download things?
With the Nintendo DS, you have to accept things in. We don't just push things. With any platform, there's different ways in which you abide by what they set out for that kind of online and system-to-system interfacing.
With the PC, you can either turn on pollination full-blast like a faucet, or we gave you a whole online feature, this social network built into the game. You can decide, I just want to collaborate with a buddy of mine. Create a buddy list and say, I just want their content. Or create a "Sporecast," which are like themes of aggregated content. Or you can say, I want to point it at that planet. So that planet will be themed Paris, or fearsome creatures, or something red. Dependent upon the platform, we have different ways to interact with that.
What audience are you going for with the DS version? Kids?
A combination. We do want to capture that younger Nintendo DS player, they're certainly an active player set. I think with the art style that we went with, and the creativity, we hope to appeal also to an older audience. I think the Nintendo DS has been a platform that's really captured the imaginations of a broad audience, and I think that Spore has the ability to do so as well.
Did you see the art style that we've selected? It's inspired by those flat Japanese rod puppets. It makes editing a little bit more intuitive, but still the possibilities are very unlimited.
It seems like you're pushing the heck out of the system, too, with 3-D.__
While it's not doing entirely procedural animation, what it is doing is allowing you to have that creative stake in the game. In our experience, both Will and myself having worked with The Sims is that people create something, and by virtue of playing you're telling its story, creating its identity, people get much more engaged in that kind of play.

Are Olympic Parents Supportive or Overbearing?
Mike Blake/Reuters
Between Procter & Gamble's syrupy-sweet salute to moms and the viral video of Aly Raisman's mom and dad, parents of Olympians have taken center stage at the 2012 Summer Games — and not all of them will be coming away with a gold medal for parenting.
Are the parents of Olympic athletes an inspiration or a cautionary tale? Where is the line between supporting children's ambitions and emotionally abusing them with pressure to succeed?Read the Discussion »

DUCK tries to imitate nature as closely as possible in developing a complete deep-frozen meal for dogs. Our natural food is suitable for pups, adult dogs, old dogs and working dogs. In traditional commercial foods, there are different types of food for different age categories, another type of food for active dogs, plus light meals and supplemented kibbles. This is crazy , because in nature our dog's ancestor, the wolf, did not have the choice between high protein deer, light boar or rabbits for puppies. And still, the answer is provided by nature, Not in the kind of food- we know that the food is the total prey - but in feeding behaviour. Until they are 4 months old, pups have priority when feeding. They can eat first, simply because they need more food. Not different food, more food! An old dog, or overweight dog does not need different food, but simply less! This is only valid for natural food and not for dry, canned or otherwise. It's a question of quality and discipline. DUCK increase your dog's resistance and gives it renewed energy and life force.
Duck Complete is whole food. You don't have to add anything. One of the main requirements of food is that your dog likes it. You will see that your dog is mad about the small and taste of DUCK Complete. Indeed, the smell and taste of fresh meat are irreplaceable. DUCK Complete is user friendly. Our one kilo packs are divided into easy 100 gram portions. This enables you to take out the right amount very easily. DUCK Complete suits every dog. Small and big, young and old can eat the same. DUCK Complete does contain beef, lamb, poultry and meat that have been approved for human consumption.DUCK contains a blend of meat, offal, cartilage and cereal. DUCK Complete does not contain any preservatives, colouring agents or taste enhancers. In traditional commercial food, these products are responsible for stomach and intestine problems, allergies, skin problems and behavioural problems. DUCK contains natural meat juices. As a result your dog does not need to drink litres of water every day and the risk of gastric torsion is reduced. All ingredients are processed without being heated first, except cereals, which are first germinated. This is a huge advantage, because when raw materials are heated, enzymes are killed, vitamins are neutralised and fat is saturated. DUCK is highly digestive and thus guarantees limited compact excrements. DUCK Complete reduces the production of plaque. DUCK Complete reduces the risk of torsion of the stomach. Each cases contains 8 x 1Kg packets. Each Pack has 10 x 100g slices. Cases dimensions are 39cm x 13cm x 18cm.
You should be able to feel your dog's ribs, but not see them. That's how you know that your dog is at its ideal weight. For a food guideline, take your dog's age, level of activity and body weight into account.
Medium-sized and large dogs should be served 2% of their ideal body weight per day, spread over two meals.
Small dogs can receive 3% to 5% of their ideal body weight per day, spread over two meals.
The puppy of a large breed should be served 4% to 5% of their current body weight per day.
Puppies of small to medium-sized breeds should be served 6% to 10% of their current body weight per day. For puppies it's best to spread the portions over 4 to 5 meals per day.
You dog's nutritional needs decrease after they are 6 months old. Ask your vet about your dog's ideal body weight then calculate its nutritional needs once it is an adult. Gradually reduce the portions so that you reach an adult portion within 6 months. Spread the portion over 3 meals per day.
All prices include VAT where applicable.

Free is The Party's second studio album. Teddy Riley wrote three songs for the album, including the new jack swing-tinged title song, "Free," which was also remixed by house-music legends Steve "Silk" Hurley and E-Smoove. Dr. Dre produced the song "Let's Get Right Down to It," and the group itself also got involved in the writing and producing of the album, which would once again land it another concert tour opening spot with Color Me Badd, its last special for the Disney Channel, "All About The Party," and an appearance on Blossom. However, the album was not as successful on the charts as previous ones, which prompted Damon Pampolina to leave the group.
Free: The Future of a Radical Price is the second book written by Chris Anderson, Editor in chief of Wired magazine. The book was published on July 7, 2009 by Hyperion. He is also the author of The Long Tail, published in 2006.
Free follows a thread from the previous work. It examines the rise of pricing models which give products and services to customers for free, often as a strategy for attracting users and up-selling some of them to a premium level. That class of model has become widely referred to as "freemium" and has become very popular for a variety of digital products and services.
Free was released in the United States on July 7, 2009, though the night before, on his blog, Chris Anderson posted a browser readable version of the book and the unabridged audiobook version. Anderson generated controversy for plagiarizing content from the online encyclopedia Wikipedia in Free. Anderson responded to the claim on his The Long Tail blog, stating that there were disagreements between him and the publisher over accurate citation of Wikipedia due to the changing nature of its content, leading him to integrate footnotes into the text. Also on his blog, he took full responsibility for the mistakes and noted that the digital editions of Free were corrected. The notes and sources were later provided as a download on his blog.
Gratis /ˈɡrɑːtᵻs/ or /ˈɡreɪtᵻs/ is the quality of an action where the action is willingly provided without any requirement by the provider for compensation or monetary remuneration. It is often referred to in English and Dutch as free of charge (FOC), complimentary, or on the house. Companies, producers, and service providers often provide certain things free of charge as part of a larger business model, pricing strategy, or as a donation.
The English term gratis has its origins in late Middle English; from Latin. A contraction of gratiis, meaning 'as a kindness' or 'a show of goodwill', which in turn stems from the root gratia meaning 'grace' or 'kindness'. It is widely used in the Afrikaans, Slovakia, Czech, Hungarian, Croatian, Serbian, Polish, French, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Indonesian, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, German and some of the other Germanic languages, with the same meaning.
In a standard business model where goods and services are exchanged for a monetary compensation, pricing of the goods is a fundamental element of the marketing process. While it would defeat the business model if companies provide all of their goods and services free of charge, it is common for them to provide limited amount of free goods in their promotional mix. Many companies often provide free samples to the press in order to generate media coverage for their products. Depending on the product, companies may provide free samples to prospective buyers.
Chris Anderson, the groundbreaking author of the Long Tail visits the RSA to outline a dramatic new change in the way our economy functions.
In the digital marketplace, the most effective price is no price at all. Savvy businesses are raking it in with indirect routes from product to revenue with such models as cross-subsidies (giving away a DVR to cell cable service) and ΓÇ£freemiumsΓÇ¥ (offering Flickr for free while selling the superior FlickrPro to serious users. New media models have allowed successes like ObamaΓÇÖs campaign ΓÇ£billboardsΓÇ¥ on Xbox Live, Webkinz dolls and RadioheadΓÇÖs name-your-own-album experiment. A generational and global shift is at playΓÇöthose below 30 wonΓÇÖt pay for information knowing it will be available somewhere for free: in China today 95 of music consumption is pirated. ΓÇ£FreeΓÇ¥ is no longer ΓÇ£giving things awayΓÇ¥ but a new business strategy for survival.

This is a segment from one of my favorite books "Free: The Future of a Radical Price" by WIRED magazine editor Chris Anderson. He recalls the famous quote by Lewis Strauss, former head of the Atomic Energy Commission.

Wired's Editor In Chief Chris Anderson discusses why $0.00 is the future of business.
When our pal Kevin Smokler slid us the opportunity to interview one of the legendary thinkers and writers of the geekosphere, we pounced on the chance. Chris Anderson resuscitated Wired magazine back from the brink of the geek deadpool and is notable for coining the term The Long Tail, which he penned a book on. Chris is about to release his second book, Free: The Future of a Radical Price, which is already generating controversy on a couple of fronts. One never to rest, Chris also recently launched BookTour.com, a site for authors to more easily line up and promote their book tours and for fans to easily find and meet up with their favorite authors. Chris, like us, is also a big fan of maker culture and is busy building drone airplanes based on open source hardware. A subject well save...

Free is The Party's second studio album. Teddy Riley wrote three songs for the album, including the new jack swing-tinged title song, "Free," which was also remixed by house-music legends Steve "Silk" Hurley and E-Smoove. Dr. Dre produced the song "Let's Get Right Down to It," and the group itself also got involved in the writing and producing of the album, which would once again land it another concert tour opening spot with Color Me Badd, its last special for the Disney Channel, "All About The Party," and an appearance on Blossom. However, the album was not as successful on the charts as previous ones, which prompted Damon Pampolina to leave the group.

A recent study highlights the opportunities which online social networks may provide to analyze the impact of social behavior on health outcomes such as the prevalence of obesity.
For several years researchers have been trying to find the causes of obesity, aside from any genetic predisposition. Our social environment is regarded as one of the decisive factors overall. For example, families living in deprived circumstances are often prone to obesity because, it is argued, cheaper food is often more fatty and sugary –although this supposed causal link still remains controversial. Such studies have their limitations, since there is relatively little reliable information available on people's physical activities and dietary habits. However, there is today one source, though rather unconventional as regards public health studies, which can provide a wealth of data: Facebook. Recently four researchers from Harvard Medical School, working together with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance– an ongoing telephone health survey system – and NYC EpiQuery systems, a web-based system designed to provide health data from a variety of sources, set out to examine the relationship between Facebook users' 'likes' and their weight*.
Studying populations through the lens of social networks
This is one of the first attempts to study the health of a population by extracting data from online social networks. Recently, another online study, carried out via social networks among 61 million people, which looked at the influence of messages on voting patterns, has already demonstrated the potential of social networks for this type of study. Such networks provide a new source of usable data and Facebook is one of the most useful tools since users tend to volunteer information on their surroundings, origins, background and personal interests. Moreover, the sheer size of the network in terms of its user base is an argument in itself for using this data source. In the United States, half the population is active on Facebook, as is one person in eight worldwide. The study on obesity analyzed Facebook users' 'likes', broadly categorizing them under "health and fitness" and "outdoor physical activities" as an indication of being physically active, and "television" as a marker for a sedentary lifestyle. The study reveals that in the US as a whole there is one clear link between Facebook users' 'likes' and obesity: in any given area of the country, a greater proportion of people with activity-related Facebook interests and a smaller proportion who like television appears to be correlated with a lower prevalence of obesity.
Gathering data on public health
The major increase in obesity on a global scale suggests that a person's social environment says a lot about his/her health. Many studies have already examined the relationship between people being overweight and their immediate environment. For example, in places where there is less opportunity for people to walk, we find higher rates of obesity. Beyond the physical environment, this study now shows that people's social environment may also be linked to obesity. There are many variables – among them common interests, whether active or sedentary – which make it easier to pinpoint populations at risk. Up to now, obtaining data relating to the social environment of these populations has been costly and slow, and the process difficult to carry out across a large population. The availability of online social network data for this type of study therefore seems to have come at the right moment. Further research is now needed to better understand how the online social environment actually relates to health outcomes and how it can be used to identify when action is needed or target specific interventions.

Q: I haven't worked outside the home for 20 years. First, I was at home with the children, and then my husband took ill and I became his full-time carer until he passed away last year. Now, I want to go back to work, but I am frightened. Where to start? Previously, I worked in retail and enjoyed it, but I fear my skills have lapsed. Any suggestions? (GL, email ).
A: Patience is important here, I feel. Your self-confidence has taken a hit, and, yes, the world of work has changed dramatically in the past 20 years. Technology has altered the landscape almost beyond recognition – so, if your IT skills are not great, you should take a short course or attend that wonderful university, YouTube. Technology is a day-to-day factor in almost all jobs nowadays, writes AOIFE MOLONEY, Career Coach, Sli Nua Careers.
What should you do now? What careers would you like to pursue?
A critical element here is to develop your self-awareness. You are still a human being; you still have strengths, weaknesses, inclinations and interests. And they are the key to making the next step a good one. To be confident of career happiness, you should work in roles that reward and respect those.
You will be pleasantly surprised to know that many employers will value your dedication and effective multi-tasking, valuable transferable skills you can now bring to the workplace.
To build your self-awareness, ask friends, family members and former colleagues what they think you're good at - don't ask them what careers they feel you should do just yet, but, instead, focus on getting them to evaluate you as a person.
Do they see you as somebody who works well with other people or are you better solo? Do you like a busy desk – or one major task to conquer?
Are you someone to work away quietly in the back office – or are you a front-of-house person?
Next you should outline your greatest achievements to date. These can be drawn from anywhere in your life: work, home, hobbies, community involvement and so on.
Did you play a key role in securing a grant for your community? Are you a successful sports coach? Someone people turn to when they need a listening ear?
As you continue this process, you should develop an enhanced awareness of your strengths. Without this, you're shooting in the dark. With this, you can start to see how those strengths match various jobs or careers.
Compile a list of all the strengths identified by your 'support group', along with the achievements you've documented above – and circulate them to the same group. Additionally, give them a long list of careers and jobs (find these on the net ).
Ask them to tick the careers they feel might suit you. Some patterns will emerge – a number of people will select the same careers. You're getting closer.
Now, research those careers. YouTube is again your friend here, but to really understand careers, talk to people working in them. Ask them what courses you need to do, if any. Ascertain how you can get into this sector.
Bit by bit, you will start to see suitable careers and opportunities. I mentioned patience above: take a few weeks to do this and don't worry about the stages after that. To help you, I will return to this topic in a few weeks.

As an orally-administered product, CP101 contains the full complement of functional microorganisms to help restore a dysbiotic microbiota (or microbial imbalance) to a normal, functioning gut microbial community. Beyond CP101, Crestovo is developing a pipeline of FSM™ therapeutics to treat a range of serious diseases.
- PRISM 3 (Preventing Recurrence of Clostridium difficile infection using Full-Spectrum MicrobiotaTM) is Crestovo's clinical trial in patients with recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (CDI)
- Crestovo announced the patients had been dosed in June 2017
- PRISM 3 is a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CP101 in approximately 240 patients with recurrent CDI at clinical sites throughout the US

I believe the solution to a whole bunch of our big problems may be nestled within the concept of rat parks.
If you're wondering what the hell a rat park is, here is an excellent explanation of the Rat Park drug experiment in handy comic form.
We have accidentally isolated ourselves and we're suffering.
We work among functional and perceptual silos. We live in increasing disconnection from our larger communities and the natural world. We are adrift in a jillion different kinds of socio-economic isolation that boil down to the fact that millions of us feel trapped, or alone in the world.
There is a pattern at the root of every addictive behavior, whether it's drugs or drink or food or shopping or sex or even hoarding money.
These issues all relate to deep-seated needs going unfulfilled or emotional/psychological wounds going untreated.
People are — understandably — using whatever tools at their disposal to self-soothe, often with unintended or undesired consequences.
Passionate, determined attempts to break free from those cycles fail many of us over and over, because we're essentially trying to throw away our crutch while we still have a broken leg.
Changing the "rat race" into playtime in the park.
When I refer to "rat parks" I'm usually talking about the consciously re-imagining of our surroundings and societal structures in ways that foster genuine connection and engagement with one another with the ultimate goal of everyone having access to more of what they need to thrive.
We're essentially an apex species, and our well-being depends largely on the well-being of the ecosystems surrounding us. We've been doing a lot of things the wrong way.
Those things are holding us back on a species-wide level.
In order to make the most of this renaissance in humanity we're entering, there are changes we need to make. We need do everything we can to make society more like a rat park and less like a cage.
It just so happens that creative placemaking is an easy, fun, and high-impact place to start.
