Average Review:
The Bramble Berry Quick Mix Oils are an easy way for you to save time weighing and blending oils when making cold process or hot process soap. We do the work for you. And you have consistent and reliable results everytime.
The Lots of Lather Quick Mix is comprised of Coconut, Palm Oil, Canola Oil, Olive Oil, Castor Oil and Vitamin E. It produces an extremely hard bar that has large bubbles with good stability. The resulting soap rinses away cleanly in the shower. Because of the lathering properties, this recipe does best at a 7% superfat or below. With the purchase of Lots of Lather Quick Mix you also receive a PDF that includes information on lye and water amounts.
Ingredients:Botanical Name: Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Elaeis guineensis (Palm) Oil, Brassica Napus (Canola) Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Ricinus communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Tocopherol (Vitmain E) OilCommon Name: Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Canola Oil, Olive Oil, Castor Oil, Vitamin E
i love it in cps but was wondering could it be used to make a liquid soap base
This makes a great bar of soap - work quickly, it comes to thick trace in just a few minutes
Works like Charm this is a Must Have for Soap Making, creates an awesome lather soap product
I have been making soap for a couple of years now, always mixing the butters and oils into my own recipe. I was intrigued by "extremely hard bar" and the no mess idea behind this mix and decided to try it. I find I can't regulate the temp on this soap. I have made 4 batches, paying careful attention to the recipe I was given, but it becomes a volcano every time. Even when I place it directly in the freezer! I have contacted the help line and they had me adjust the lye amount, but still the resulting soap was a frozen, soft, cracked, ashy mess. Not sure what else to do... Has anyone else had this problem?
Kelsey from Bramble Berry replies...Hi Sarah! I'm sorry you had troubles working with this product. We love the Lots of Lather Quick Mix and both the ease of use and versatility it brings to soap making! There is nothing in this quick mix that should cause a recipe to overheat - it's just a mixture of plain oils, the kind you would use in any basic cold process recipe. See an example of soap made with this mix in our Cherry Blossom Glitter Cold Process tutorial. Usually when a soap overheats and volcanoes it is due to extra sugars in the recipe from additives like milk, fruit purees, honey, sugar, etc. Customer service has contacted you directly to help troubleshoot!
I bought this to try as a new soapmaker. It was easy to use and I love the soap it made! It still needs to cure for a few more weeks but it made nice lather after curing only 3 or so weeks. It is great for ease of use or for newbies, but I admit I am having fun experimenting with different oils using the BB lye calculator!
We're a friendly group who love social media. See you 'round the web!

Business vs IT Archive
Architecture is Not: InfrastructurePosted on February 28, 2011 | 4 CommentsA comprehensive architecture that is made up of things like mission, vision, goals, objectives, requirements, roles, activities, capabilities, services, technical components and yes, physical components is a holistic thing. It is something we bake, not something served up in piecemeal ingredients. We don't eat flour and call it bread just because everyone around us happens to be an expert in flour.
You, Sir, Are No ArchitectPosted on February 23, 2011 | 2 CommentsYou can quote all the learning management, skills management, performance management and professional development plan statistics you want, but we all know that title misdirection thrives in large Fortune 500 companies. It's like a tapeworm in a Mexican restaurant: it is a target-rich environment. It isn't endemic to IT, but it seems to be especially pernicious in this critical field.
MBAs Are WorthlessPosted on November 9, 2010 | 1 CommentFor white collar career paths, the ability to identify, assess and diagnose business problems and then go on to prescribe and execute solutions absolutely demands thoughtful approaches that don't magically come with the diploma. The education is a foundation. It is not a end unto itself.
Avoiding Cost-AvoidancePosted on November 2, 2010 | 1 CommentOn the back of my comments regarding metrics, a natural question arises. Namely, provided you are able to identify the correct measurements to take in the course of assessing the success or failure of any particular program, what is there to be said about interpretation of those measurements?
The Quest for Mostly Meaningless MetricsPosted on November 1, 2010 | No CommentsDespite the fact that the things we measure are often not related to the impact of our efforts on the business, this hasn't stopped the relentless quest for metrics to feed legions of ravenous dashboard apps and Excel spreadsheets. In fact, they seem to have slowly become an end unto themselves.

Detroit's big players may be better off using Chapter 11 to come back from the brink says Jim Cramer, he of the Maddest Money, on BloggingStocks.com. His rationale? If gas prices stay where they are, there simply aren't enough GM products that people want, and there are way too many GM products that no one wants. He also feels a little less than bullish on Ford. Cramer is also wondering why, with automaker stock prices so low (as of this writing Ford is at a pathetic, though slightly improved, $5.32) the "value people" aren't sweeping in to buy up these companies (ahem, some are). Then he provides a Cramer-esque contradiction.

Re: problem: ps3 not reading game disc[ Edited ]
I had a problem with my ps3 it kept freezing, so i took advice from youtube on how to clean you system. It worked as far as rebooting, but it wiped out all my information on my ps3 (pictures, accounts,etc) Now my game don't work and I tired other games and they will not pop up when already in the ps3. It makes a clicking noise, and act like it is loading but nothing comes up..???? It all started on black opsII freezing up on me, so i tried to fix it, and ended up messing up my whole system. I done tried everything i could think of; can somebody please help me figure out this.. **bleep** do i need to get incontact with SONY????

If you think you're capable you can fix it. Replace the disc drive with one from the same model. eBay and youtube are your friends.

Re: problem: ps3 not reading game disc
I just experienced this problem (Oct. 18, 2013)...
I've been trying to fix it myself, but no luck.
All I've tried is:
-go to the save/recovery mode and tried options 3, 4, and 6 at different times.
-the fan test.
-inserting two disc at once.
-play a demo/downloaded game and then try going to the disc.
Please, I need help!!!
Please, Sony tech rep. Or anybody with the actual and most effective solution post an updated post or reply me.
This issue apparently is common (stupid, but common).
I know there is a solution besides sending it to Sony for repair (just before about 3 week before PS4 hits the stores)
or doing a factory reset.
Thank you!!!

1. Check to see if there are any other book fairs or events on that day that would not be good to clash with. Think not just from the organisers point of view but also from the punters and the stallholders interests.
2. Advertise your bookfair well in advance. Consider that if you want people to come from other countries, those with jobs, other responsibilities etc to come the less spontaneous the organisation is the better!
3, Use all media! Do not rely just on social media! paper flyers, stickers, posters and word of mouth are still very important. Make sure they get around well before the event and then do a "last minute" reminder poster campaign just before the event. Remember if you rely on Facebook you will get a Facebook response. Many radicals do not use or rely on Facebook. Try and get posters for your event to bookfairs that happen just before, send flyers to book distributors in advance for sending out in their mail.
4, DO NOT go to other anarchist events or book fairs just before "your" event and behave like idiots. Getting drunk, abusing peoples hospitality and other such behaviour is unlikely to encourage people to come to your event and may even inspire them to boycott you. This of course is a shame for all the others who have helped with or would benefit from your event.
5, Provide food (vegan) at your bookfair or make sure people who are not local to your venue are able to get hold of it easily. Remember to help stall holders who are there on their own to take breaks and get refreshments.
6, Contact local radical groups; activist, environmental, Trade Unions, Queer, all that are active even if not specifically anarchist and see if they are able to help publicise the event. Many anarchist bookfairs disguise themselves as Radical bookfairs and invite non anarchist groups to participate in the event in order to increase the numbers likely to attend. This may cause some political friction but often works well.

A photo I took in Hawaii while out paddeling with Kekoa… great day of surf, and later we saw The Beach Boys live.
Category: LIFE
Oslo has not been my favorite place lately. The local ski resort is closing when I'm back home, and friends and customers has been making my life pretty stressfull. Yesterday I had a mental breakdown. I cried for hours. Stress, no sleep, people always wanting something from me, but will never give anything back. Work… my body hurts, and I have to take a break before it shuts down. I'm even afraid to check my phone because I don't want anything to do with people.
It makes me miss the easy island life… found some pictures on my laptop from 2014. When I decided to visit Mike when he still lived in Maui.
I left my heart in Hawaii, and it's been the only place I ever found a calmness and relaxed from the first moment I arrived.
A trip filled with waves, coconuts, hiking, love, beaches and the best food you would ever have.
Hopefully, I will be able to go back soon. Explore… maybe retire there when I'm too old to hike those high mountains filled with snow. The surfing life is the best life.
There are so many places I wanna see, so many things I wanna explore. Travel is the only thinh that keeps me going…
Not sure where the next stop will be.. But I am sure there will be beautiful sunsets.
Allready miss waking up to the best powder in the world…
It was dumping allmost everyday… beeing not used to these conditions, it took me a couple of days to keep up with the guys.
But everything helps with some yoga and matcha tea in the morning.
The crew: me, Basti, Tommy, Svein, JP, Romain, Neal and Jamie.
While the boys had to work at Interstyle to represent the brand, we went on a little sightseeing tour around Yokohama.
We saw everything from the tattoo museum and the private collection of Horioshi III to the art museum of Yokohama. Nice weather and good vibes….
The Interstyle was pretty crazy, met a lot of nice people, and it was cool to see all the Yes boards coming out next season.
The last day was spent in Tokyo for my birthday. All I wanted was some sightseeing and a good dinner. We ended up with japanese barneque with a friend of the guys.
Japan has been absolutely amazing, and allthough is good to be back in Norway, I kinda miss the japanese living.
Saw some early Sakuras blooming. I thought I would have to come back in spring to see it…
Japan, I will see you next year for some more snow and good times. Can't wait!

Australians don't do gallant defeat. They will not have woken up this morning, watched through clenched hands the rerun of this intriguing 80 minutes, witnessed their gold and green laying siege to the England line in the final moments - against all the odds, against all the possession - and thought proudly to themselves: "Didn't we do well, seeing as we hardly had the ball?"
No, they will look at the latest beating, put it alongside their previous six and think: "Aussies don't lose seven in a row. Not at rugby, not at tiddlywinks, not at downhill skiing, not at nothing." And Eddie Jones will face a high jump he will palpably have no chance of winning. Cue yet another Aussie loss.
But if they took time to see the hole their coach has in his armoury they would at least understand that this void happens to be more gaping than the area where the Twickenham South Stand used to be. It is called the front row, and Australia blatantly haven't got one worthy of the name, worthy of the frame.
Not when you compare it to the mammoth space Andrew Sheridan occupied as he forged a place inside the Australian collective conciousness that is on the Ned Kelly side of instant notoriety.
Twickenham might well have seen the birth of a folk hero yesterday. Be sure, barbies will not be lit in his honour.
But maybe they should be, as Big Ted, the qualified bricklayer, exposed Australian's shortcoming just when they most need it. This powerhouse paucity must be addressed, quickly, and laughing Bill Young - at home, hardly believing his luck at being granted this tour off - is not the solution. That plainly lies in the future and searing athleticism, not in the past and blatant skullduggery that again blessedly came a poor second yesterday.
Sure, the Wallabies have the bounding talent outside to launch a thousand counterattacks, and when a measure of forward parity was gained in the first quarter yesterday their ball-handlers proved what havoc they can wreak. It was humbling for all but a New Zealander to see a playmaker of the natural ability of Mat Rogers - playing only his second Test at outside-half - effecting it like a latter-day Mark Ella.
But then, not half as humbling as to watch an England pack run over them at will in a second half when only Rogers and the rest of his back line managed to keep within the unlikeliest of shouting distances.
How they did it, in this of all years, is best summed by a crude analogy with cricket. While their bowlers left them no basis of offence at all, they were forced to make the most of every run presented to them, making the scoresheet read as favourably as their hosts dared concede. Alas, there are chases beyond even the most destructive of attackers.
Not that these Australians can quite boast to be that - not even with the devastating Drew Mitchell in their ranks - but as England were left to reflect on yet another performance when forward dominance was not turned into points, Australia were left to imagine what they could do with such an embarrassment of territorial riches.
They will stop imagining soon, bring together a pack that the creativity and inventiveness of those such as Chris Latham so obviously deserve, and then the rest of the world will have to watch out. Believe it, Australia will one day put paid to the growing theory that there are only two world-class union teams operating in Australasia at the minute - New Zealand and the New Zealand reserves.Reuse content

What price Rory for more Major glory?
By Sean Goff | Sports reporter
Rory McIlroy is now being talked about in the same breath as Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus after his stunning eight-stroke win in the US PGA Championship at Kiawah Island on Sunday.
The 23-year-old is 7/4 to win between 9 and 11 Majors in Paddy Power's online betting as he looks to overhaul Nick Faldo's six majors and is 9/2 to win more majors than Woods.
McIlroy is also 9/2 to win the 2013 US Masters next April, 15/2 to win the US Open next year and 9/1 to win the only European Major on tour, the Open Championship. But if you think he'll save the best for last again next year, McIlroy is 12/1 to retain the Wanamaker Trophy.
Before any of that though McIlroy, who also regained his World No 1 crown, will line out for the European Ryder Cup side that face the United States at the Medinah Club, Illinois from September 28-30.
Paddy Power bet 7/1 that the Holywood native will be the Ryder Cup leading points scorer and 14/1 that he copies compatriot Graeme McDowell and holes the winning put in a little under two months' time.

The deadlines for the first year of reporting under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) have now passed, but it's not too early to start thinking about reporting for 2016.In a rare display of generosity, the IRS set a nearly unheard of "good faith" standard when it came to penalties for incorrect or incomplete 2015 forms, but there's no evidence that the same lenient rules will apply for 2016. Plus, many of the transition relief rules are no longer available. So this year, you really need to be on your game.You may still be wondering about the correct answers to many of the questions that plagued you last year, such as:
Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you
attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions.
The live
versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form of training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without
any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back
at work immediately after the session ends!
And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous
times and to share it with others in your office.
Handout materials and the phone number for live presentations are made available to you prior to the event via email from the
presenter and from the "MyAccount" link on the menu bar. Copies of the presentations are included with recorded versions.

Public Discussion
Joyce YenCo-Presenter
The LEAD-it-Yourself! program will soon be launching a call for proposals to run faculty diversity workshops at your own institutions. Selected institutions will receive up to $4,000 in seed funding to plan and hold a workshop on your campus during 2016 or 2017 using the LiY! website.
Check out the LiY! website (www.advance.washington.edu/liy) in June for more details.
Joyce YenCo-Presenter
What tools and resources would you find helpful if you were planning a workshop for department chairs that focuses on STEM faculty diversity and inclusion?
Joni FalkCo-Director of CSR at TERC
Thanks for this important video! Can you talk about the strategies that have proven most effective in creating an environment that is friendly to women in engineering? You say you have these, but would love some specific examples. (There is a bit of a high bar to log in to your website).
Dear Joni,
Thank you for your comments!
To have a great environment for women, you have to have a great environment for people. UW is very collaborative and provides a lot of professional development to our faculty, both new and senior. We also work with our department chairs to help them best support their faculty. In addition, we are very family-friendly.
Finally, we make sure our female candidates meet other women when they interview. We also meet with them to tell them about the resources ADVANCE will provide them.
Joyce YenCo-Presenter
Hi Joni,
We hope you and others will come back to our website later this year. The site is still in beta mode and has minimal public facing information at this point. But in June we will have some short videos showing the website features under development. We hope eventually to have an active user community contributing content and sharing resources and best practices for supporting and advancing STEM faculty diversity.
Araina BoydIron Range Engineering Student
What a great initiative! Do you have specific recruiting strategies you have found effective that you could discuss? What are some of the most prominent hurdles you face when recruiting?
Hi Araina,
Please read what I wrote to Joni Falk above.
As far as hurdles go, solving dual-career placements can be challenging. We try our best and our department chairs work very hard on this. We are lucky to be in Seattle where there is a lot of industry.
There used to be a lot of bias against women when they were evaluated but we have made a lot of progress on this through education about bias in evaluation.
Thanks for your question!
Araina BoydIron Range Engineering Student
Thank You Eve!
Joni FalkCo-Director of CSR at TERC
Just came across another video on this topic of improving the culture of engineering for women. Take a look at http://videohall.com/p/673
You might have interesting resources to share!
Thanks, I will check it out. Gretal just wrote to us below!
Gretal LeibnitzCo-PI & Executive Director
Hi Joyce and Eve! Great to see your work in the Showcase! Love the LEAD IT program and would encourage others to employ this work at their institution.
The video that Joni is talking about is WEPAN's Engineering Inclusive Teaching: Faculty Professional Development project—http://videohall.com/p/673 I think you might find the work interesting and would love to talk potential collaboration in the future!
Thanks Gretal, we will check our the WEPAN video! Nice to hear from you.
Jim BoydTechnology Director
Thank you for taking steps to share the techniques and tools that have helped your institution create an inclusive environment. The Lead-It-Yourself program sounds like a great tool.
Thanks Jim! We are hoping that our user community can help many institutions address leadership development for their department chairs. I personally believe that department chair is the hardest job on campus and our leaders need support to do their jobs well. One of our chairs says, "Being a chair is like being a parent, but without the love."
Peggy LayneGuest
Great program and great video! Love the footage of Irene Peden.
Thanks Peggy! I love the footage of Irene too. In fact, thanks for the reminder — I'm going to send this to her right now.
Sarah GerardFacilitator
Sounds like a great program! I'm curious what feedback, if any, you've gotten from UW undergrad or grad students about what it's like to have more female professors in the department.
Hi Sarah, thanks for viewing our video. You ask a good question. We haven't surveyed our students but certainly many of us find ourselves meeting with female students often; serving as their mentors; and helping them navigate all kinds of challenging issues.
Some of the feedback we have gotten is that the female faculty candidates really appreciate learning about ADVANCE and they clearly recognize the advantages they will have at UW because of the professional development and community that we offer. Last year we hired a young woman who is a total superstar; she had 11 interviews and 11 offers! Clearly diversity and excellence go hand-in-hand.
Kelly PudelekFacilitator
Great video! What are some of the challenges you expect when expanding the program to other universities? How do you plan to address them?
Hi Kelly, You ask a great question. We have an evaluation component to LEAD-it-Yourself! so we will be seeing how well the workshops given at other institutions match our model. It is OK if they differ but we consider fidelity to our model as a sign of success of the toolkit.
The biggest challenge we have faced is that building an entire website (that has many many features) has been much harder than we expected.
Thanks for your question,
Marian PasqualeFacilitator
This is a great effort and important work. How involved are male faculty in this effort?
Dear Marian,
Men are a huge part of this effort. LEAD-it-Yourself! is about faculty development workshops for department chairs in STEM and the bulk of chairs are men. At UW, they have been very receptive to our programming.
Thanks for your question,
Leslie HerrenkohlProfessor, Co_Director 3dL Partnership
Hi Eve & Joyce. Great video and such important work! So glad to have both of you working on this important initiative at UW and now beyond!
Thanks Leslie!!
Sarah Pidgeon
I am so inspired by your video and the LEAD project! I work with lots of career and technical education high schools in New York City, and they typically have mostly male students. I would love to explore how some of this project might be replicated in an engineering course at the high school level some day. Do you think there might be an opportunity for that at some point down the line?
Hi Sarah, Interesting question. Are you thinking of educating the faculty at the high school about bias against underrepresented groups in STEM or the students? Regardless, you could find resources on the LiY! website about bias that could be used to educate both audiences.
Thanks for your question,
Ann AustinProfessor of Higher Education
HI, Eve and Joyce,
I have long been a fan of your important work. As you said above, Eve, the department chair role is one of the most challenging in the university—and I think one of the most important, as values, behaviors, and collegiality are shaped in such specific ways within departments. Thanks so much for all your work!
Further posting is closed as the showcase has ended.

(this is her dominant personality type)
(she also shows elements of this type)
I know you're out there somewhere
She is a tough-minded, independent thinker who likes to explore ideas or problems thoroughly. Yet she has a wild side and is not interested in maintaining routine social engagements either.
She gravitates to men and women who are intellectually exciting and like to discuss topics broadly and thoroughly.
She tends to like someone who is spontaneous, even mischievous, as well as a mate who can appreciate her rugged individualism and support of her drive to succeed.
A few excerpts from her personality test:
- I pursue intellectual topics thoroughly and regularly
- It is important to respect authority
- I would rather have loyal friends than interesting friends
Her 8 interests
in her own words...
I know there are people out there that look at life the way I do. I'm not looking for a clone of myself. Just someone who believes that character is doing the right thing even when no one is looking. Someone who smiles and brings the best out in others, treats people kindly, enjoys meeting new people and shows a genuine interest in them. I could put together a paragraph telling you what I think you're looking for, ramble incessantly about myself and tell you what I'm looking for or throw out a few witty one-liners that would make you smile and prove I have a pretty good sense of humor. But I'll just say some of my favorite things are books, music, golf, exercise, yoga, animals, hiking, good food whether it be cooking or dining out, hanging out with family and close friends, meeting new friends, talking and laughing out loud except when milk comes shooting out my nose. I like outside verses inside, hot verses cold with one exception, the occasional beer. Coffee instead of tea but I really, really like tea. Over easy instead of scrambled, golf instead of tennis, college football instead of pro, and last but not least the Cubs instead of White Sox! I have a great job(s) that I enjoy and allows me the opportunity to meet interesting people and provides me with endless topics of conversation! I'm sure I could live without TV but I have to admit TiVo is the greatest invention since the Model-T. And just for the record, Gilligan's Island, Batman and Robin (Adam West and Burt Ward, of course), I Dream of Jeannie, Johnny Quest, The Brady Bunch, Clutch Cargo, The Beverly Hillbillies, The Adams Family….all mindless TV shows of my day but without the constant bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep that coat every mindless TV show today. I don't get rap, not a big fan of country, enjoy most other music from soft rock, al

|Version 1 HD Video
The great Lawrence of Arabia fights side-by-side with the Arabs to help
Arabia from Turkish invaders. Fade to black. Roll credits. End of
Well, not entirely. A Dangerous Man: Lawrence After Arabia, tells more. In this movie, T.E. Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes) goes to Paris with Feisal (Alexander Siddig) to argue for Arab independent rule during the 1919 Paris Peace Conference. In Paris, instead of the shifting sands of the desert, Feisal and Lawrence encounter shifting political alliances.
If you're interested in current Middle East affairs, this movie provides some insight. It portrays the division of the Middle East into "spheres of influence." England, France, and the United States would each be responsible for a particular sphere. Feisal and Lawrence want Great Britian to make good on their wartime promise to create Syria as an independent Arab state. However, Britian now supports France as the eventual ruler of Syria.
A brief scene shows Lawrence watching a worker oiling a chandelier. Lawrence explains to his companion, "If France gets Syria, we [the British] get the Persian Gulf." His companion replies that if Britian must choose between loyalty to Feisal or access to petroleum... well, Feisal doesn't stand a chance.
Through Feisal, we get some sense of how the Arabs must have felt as their homeland was carved into pieces of pie for the powerful, oil-hungry Western world. It's interesting that, through most of the movie, Feisal speaks to other officials only through Lawrence although Feisal speaks fluent English. In fact, Feisal relies on Lawrence to not only interpret but, in some cases, to create his thoughts. While this may or may not be historically accurate, it certainly highlights Feisal's precarious position.
The movie briefly questions Lawrence's motives in helping Feisal. (`I want Syria to be our first brown dominion,' says Lawrence, `and I can do it with my Arabs.') Ultimately, though, it portrays him as a well-intentioned man caught up in politics that are out of his control. Syria did, in fact, go to France. In the 1920s, however, Britian supported Feisal as ruler of a new Arab kingdom - Iraq.
Terrifically acted by Ralph Fiennes and Alexander Siddig, this movie wraps up the loose ends of the Lawrence of Arabia legend. By the time the credits roll, you know much more about who, how, and why than you did before.

How has the CVPM Certification Process Improved Your Relationship with the Practice Owner?
Earning the CVPM credential is an accomplishment that distinguishes practice managers from their peers. What is the precise impact of the credential? To determine the answer, VHMA asked our CVPMs. Here is what they had to say:
Responses fell into three areas: My professional credibility has been enhanced, I have earned the respect of the owner, and, The owner is more confident in my ability and my commitment to the practice.
As a veterinary practice consultant, the CVPM certification gives me greater credibility with practice owners. Sometimes getting a veterinarian to listen to management changes is challenging---many are accustomed to being in charge and doing things their way. The CVPM credential---coupled with professional experience--- positions the CVPM as someone at the top of their profession. Managers interested in advancing their careers should pursue the CVPM. The CVPM is a stamp of approval that validates the hard work it takes to gain excellence in veterinary management.
As a CVPM, the practice owner is interested in my opinions because the certification process has provided me with education and knowledge to support my contributions.
The study questions that are presented during the certification process are consistent with situations that arise in practice. By using the study materials as a framework to problem solve and present effective solutions, I have gained the respect of the practice owner. The owner and associate veterinarian respect my knowledge and rarely question my judgment.
The practice owner has great respect for CVPM credential and is proud that I have earned it.
Both my former and current employers have confidence in my skills and abilities because of what I've learned as a CVPM.
There is also a sense of confidence that I am committed to the profession for the long term because of the time and energy that I invested in the CVPM credential.

Burundi's history of ethnic tension and violent conflict has crippled its economy and infrastructure. Mortality rates in the small Eastern African nation are alarming – well above what's associated with an emergency situation. Thousands of Burunians died in mass slaughters in 1972 and 1993, thousands more die each year from infectious disease, and hundreds of thousands of Burundians live in a chronic state of instability without access to basic health care.
PSI began working in Burundi in 1990 – until political instability and civil war resulted in funding cuts and 1996 staff evacuation. However, its local affiliate (Population, Santé et Information) stayed on to continue raising HIV/AIDS awareness, promoting HIV prevention behaviors, and social marketing condoms. When staff returned in 2002, PSI/Burundi added malaria and diarrhea prevention to its platform.
PSI/Burundi estimates that in 2015, its products and services helped avert 124,782 DALYs, including, by health area:
- 68,826 Malaria DALYs
- 35,182 HIV DALYs
- 20,774 FP DALYs
PSI/Burundi's family planning programs also provided 48,047 couple-years of protection.
PSI/Burundi uses mass communication and peer education to help improve access to condoms for all people. However, it uses specific strategies to target high-risk groups, including:
- Young people, ages 15 to 24: PSI/Burundi's behavior change communication (BCC) interventions go beyond promoting consistent condom use, abstinence and mutual fidelity. BCC strategies also discourage relationships between older men and younger women ("cross-generational sex") and encourage delayed sexual debuts. Since launching activities in Burundi, PSI has distributed about 20.5 million "Prudence®" condoms. "Prudence Class®," a new brand of condoms, was launched in 2009.
- Military personnel: PSI/Burundi opened a voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) center within the Ministry of National Defense Headquarters in 2007 and added a mobile center in 2009. The center – called "Akabanga®", which means confidentiality – staffs well-trained counselors and lab technicians who provide high-quality services to soldiers and their families. Together, both VCT venues have tested more than 2,500 clients.
Each year, about 2 million of Burundi's 7 million people fall sick from malaria. Young children and pregnant women are especially vulnerable. Malaria is responsible for 50% of all deaths among children under 5 and more than half of deaths among pregnant women. PSI/Burundi helps empower parents to keep their families safe by using impregnated insecticide mosquito bednets. Since 2003, PSI has distributed more than 666,000 mosquito nets in Burundi.
PSI/Burundi succeeds by collaborating closely with the Ministry of Health to distribute free bed nets along with routine immunization services at public health centers. PSI/Burundi also socially markets low-cost bednets.
Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
PSI/Burundi is fighting diarrheal diseases – which afflict most children under age 5 – on several fronts, including:
- Social marketing of oral rehydration salts (0RS) to treat diarrhea-related dehydration under the Orasel® brand. More than 1.1 million Orasel® sachets have been distributed since 2004.
- Social marketing the Sûr'Eau® brand home-use water guard product – a solution of stabilized hypochloridrite sodium.
- A hygiene and sanitation project to prevent cholera in six endemic provinces. PSI/Burundi's behavior change communications strategies help raise awareness and distribute Sûr'Eau® and ORS.

- Evaluation of a Social Marketing Intervention Promoting Oral Rehydration Salts in Burundi
In 2004, PSI/Burundi launched a social marketing intervention to promote ORASEL among caregivers of children under five; the product was relaunched in 2006 with a new flavor. This study evaluates the mass media and interpersonal communication activities of the relaunch and looks at trends in ORASEL use in Burundi and in behavioral determinants that may be related to its use.

- Evidence-Based HIV Prevention Campaign Increases Condom Use Among Youth in Burundi
Burundi has a national HIV prevalence of 4%. Among youth aged 15-24, HIV prevalence is 2.9% in rural areas and 3.8% in urban areas. Between 2006-2009, PSI/Burundi implemented a sexual behaviour change program for youth aged 15-24. This program aimed to: (1) Increase correct and consistent use of condoms during high-risk sexual acts; (2) Increase the perception of risk of infection during all unprotected sexual acts, regardless of partner type; (3) Promote abstinence and partner reduction; and, (4) Increase availability and affordability of condoms. Activities included targeted integrated behaviour change communications (iBCC) (radio, television, billboards, mobile videos, and peer education). This study evaluated the effect of the program on condom use with non-marital partners.
