South Carolina was recently pummeled by a devastating storm that Governor Haley described as happening "once in a thousand years." Compounding the resultant flooding, many dam breaks exacerbated the catastrophic losses South Carolina business owners have suffered. Clean-up costs alone are estimated to exceed $1 billion.
As business and property owners take stock of their losses, plan their response, and examine their insurance policies and their recovery options, numerous questions will arise. How am I going to pay to repair damaged property? What is the quickest way to resume my business? Can I recover any of the profits I lost when my business was interrupted or my customers' or suppliers' businesses were interrupted? Are there any government funds, such as FEMA assistance, available?
Obtaining insurance proceeds and FEMA assistance is paramount in the recovery process. To help address some inevitable issues, and to assist with the initial insurance claim and FEMA application processes, we provide the following guidance.
1. Obtain and Review Your Insurance Policies.
To begin with, it is crucial to obtain, review and evaluate all potentially applicable insurance policies for coverage. Understanding your rights and obligations requires a thorough review of the policies to determine what coverages may apply. Property insurance is the most obvious source of coverage, but do not overlook auto policies, marine cargo policies, pollution policies and, for those facing potential third-party claims, liability policies.
When reviewing your insurance policies, note any deadlines and calendar those dates with reminders set several weeks before the deadline. Initially, calendar the deadline by which you must give notice, file a sworn proof of loss, and file suit if you disagree with the insurance company's coverage determination (bearing in mind that that date might be years in the future). Tasks that must be completed within a "reasonable" amount of time should be done as soon as practicable. Missing deadlines can be fatal to an insurance claim.
2. Assess All Possible Coverages.
With respect to storm-related damages, "first-party" policies such as commercial property policies are the ones most likely to provide coverage for an insured's own losses. Although residential policies frequently exclude flood loss, flood may be covered under commercial policies. Even when flood is not an insured peril, there may be coverage when another, covered cause (such as wind or power outage) contributes to or ensues from the loss, as in a fire caused by a flood-related transformer explosion.
In addition to providing coverage for physical damage to an insured's property, many commercial property policies also include coverage for losses due to the interruption of the insured's normal business activity due to damage to utilities, customers, suppliers, infrastructure and other critical, or dependent, properties. These extended coverages may apply, even if the insured's own property was not physically damaged. For example, depending on policy wording, damage to certain suppliers or customers may result in covered "contingent business interruption" losses. This may be critical to businesses whose supply and customer chains are disrupted as a result of the severe damage to and closure of transportation infrastructure, including roads, railroads and even intercoastal waterways.
Similarly, disruption of power and other utilities may trigger losses insured by service interruption coverage. As well, curfews, prohibitions against entry and physical obstructions to roads may trigger civil authority or loss of ingress/egress coverage. A thorough review of the insuring provisions is critical to determine whether, and the extent to which, such coverage may apply.
3. Place All Insurers on Notice.
Even if you have not yet identified all of your losses, or determined that a policy might be implicated, provide notice as soon as possible to any insurance company under whose policy you might seek coverage. Do not assume you do not have coverage. Give notice regardless. Notice is just that: notice to your insurance company that you might have a claim. It need not, at the initial stage, be too detailed, so there is no reason to delay in providing notice. Be sure to precisely follow the directions in each insurance policy regarding notice, and be aware that notice instructions might differ from policy to policy. Pay close attention to the date by which you must provide notice, to whom notice must be provided, and the form the notice must take. Insurance brokers might be best positioned to provide the notice, so consider consulting with your broker for assistance.
4. Document and Mitigate Your Losses.
Carefully documenting losses, especially before you undertake any cleanup efforts, is critically important for evaluating the loss. This includes not only property that was damaged during the storm, but also any property rendered unusable in the days following the storm—for example, inventory exposed to moisture. Take notes and photographs. Keep a log of all actions taken. Track expenses for professional fees, mitigation and clean-up costs. Establish separate accounts to track losses. Save all repair receipts and other records of additional expenses made necessary by storm-related damage.
You might also have an obligation to preserve and protect the property from further losses, including mitigating additional damage. Because such steps are required to be taken, the mitigation expenses are covered under property insurance policies. For example, if a building is flooded, the policy requires the insured to take necessary steps to dry out flooded areas; and, accordingly, provides reimbursement of such mitigation expense, subject to certain limits. Lastly, the insurer may have salvage rights to damaged property and stock, so it is important to preserve any salvageable property to the extent possible.
5. Detail Your Business Interruption and Contingent Business Interruption Claims.
Business interruption coverage reimburses the policyholder for lost profits during the time that the business was interrupted because of a certain event (here, the rain and flood). Contingent business interruption provides coverage for losses due to the interruption of business due to damage to customers or suppliers. The biggest challenging in securing coverage for either of these types of insurance is valuing and documenting the loss. Accordingly, it is crucial to keep detailed records documenting when and how their businesses were interrupted.
6. Engage Experts.
It is usually prudent to engage professional claim consultants, such as forensic accountants, particularly where there is business interruption loss. Additional experts may be needed to model the unique financial aspects of your business. Their professional fees and other mitigation expenses are frequently covered under property policies, subject to sub-limits. Usually, public adjuster fees are not covered.
It is also a good idea to retain an experienced insurance coverage lawyer, not just when you need an advocate, but to help you protect the privileged nature of your communications and to avoid many of the traps for the unwary when presenting your insurance claim. Counsel may work in the background, without revealing their involvement to insurers. Insurers typically do the same thing. Cooperate with the insurance company adjuster, but don't forget that the adjuster works for the insurer, not for you. If you need an advocate, hire your own.
7. Follow the Policy to Preserve the Claim.
After the initial notice of loss, most property policies also require that the insured later submit a sworn "proof of loss" to catalogue the damages. Although this is usually done after reaching agreement with the insurer on the amount of the insured claim, occasionally, policies require the proof of loss to be submitted within a fairly short time after the event. Insurers are usually amenable to extending these deadlines if requested, but make sure that any extensions are memorialized in writing. In addition to notice and proof of loss, insureds must also preserve and protect the property from further losses, including taking any and all steps necessary to mitigate (or minimize) additional damage, including business interruption.
8. Government Funds Might Be Available for Non-Profits Providing Critical Infrastructure and Essential Services.
Most people know that FEMA frequently provides funds to state and local governments and individuals. But FEMA and other government-based programs are also potentially available for certain not-for-profits that provide critical infrastructure and essential services. Critical infrastructure and services include: hospitals and other medical-treatment facilities, fire, police and other emergency services, power, water and sewer utilities, educational institutions, libraries, museums and zoos, community centers, and senior citizen centers and day-care centers. The program and application process can be complicated and daunting. And strict time limits apply. But a successful applicant can see FEMA reimburse no less than 75 percent of the eligible costs for emergency protective measures and permanent restoration costs, including debris removal and infrastructure repair or replacement. FEMA does not, however, pay for business interruption losses and grant recipients must reimburse FEMA for any benefits that are duplicated by other sources such as insurance.
South Carolina may have experienced a thousand-year flood, but by following these tips, business and property owners should be well-placed to quickly recover.

This program was developed from other successful models that have been used throughout the United States. It pairs at risk youth and dogs from animal shelters. The youth train the dogs in hopes of making the dog more appealing for adoption. At-risk youth develop the skills they need to become more caring, responsible and empathetic members of their community.
The program will allow for up to 6 at-risks students at a time to train a dog that is received from an animal shelter. The group is taught by an experienced dog trainer who will teach the students how to properly care for (including grooming, cleaning up the pen, walking, etc.) and train the dogs to be eligible for adoption.
Students will meet 3 times a week for 5 weeks for up to 2 hours which will give them a total of 20 – 30 community service hours.

Low Budget Filmmaking
By vashi
My First After Effects VFX Shot (2003)
On 15, Nov 2016 | No Comments | In After Effects, Low Budget Filmmaking, VFX | By vashi
I have been editing film and video since the age of 12. Cutting footage, crafting performances and telling stories with VCRs, Steenbecks and NLEs. In 2003, I started expanding my filmmaking skill set and began experimenting with Adobe After Effects 5.5. The first time I opened it up…I expected to see explosion buttons, lightsaber buttons and muzzle flash buttons. Unfortunately not the case at all! This was a brave new world where everything had to be created from scratch so I dove in.
I designed a one-take shot in my apartment so I could practice my non-existent After Effects skills. With a locked off DVX-100 and some amazing acting skills (!) I filmed myself and imported the Mini-DV footage into After Effects. I grabbed some free explosions and sparks from Detonation Films and started compositing.
I present to you GOOD MORNING…a 35-second VFX extravaganza from 2003 for your enjoyment!
I wish I knew about Ease In and Ease Out for my wiggle expression camera shake!
It was primitive and rough but looking back I was glad to get my first VFX shot out of the way.
Feel free to share your first VFX shot if you dare in the comments below…
Until next time…

Hi guys,
thanks for a marvelous tool. I tried to use <ListInstance Title="..."/> elements and these seem to be ignored by SPSource. Is this feature not implemented?
YS, Alexey
if you take a look at the user guide you will see that for list you have to use ListTemplate not ListInstance. It will create a ListInstance element for you.
Aww... Sorry. Overlooked that. I used ListTemplate as advised, just didn't look in lists_manifest.xml to find those ListInstances. Thanks Jeremy.

Good, bad, or indifferent?
Example: John Legend. Notice how the girl behind him has a much smaller butt than him.
Most Helpful Girl
To be honest, if guys workout, then they're obviously going to build muscle. That includes the butt area too. As a result, shaping in that sort of way. There's nothing you can do about it, if they're working on building strong legs, the butt will come automatically because the muscles are connected. So to me, it doesn't matter. I mean most of us look at a guy's abs and muscle anyways, you don't tend to stare at guys' butts00|00|0
But does it look big for a guy's?
To be honest, i don't think so. Personal opinion though. Do you?

- Former Negro League star Buck O'Neil appeared in a minor league All-star game becoming the oldest baseball player in history. But the publicity stunt ended horribly when Roger Clemens beaned O'Neil, who was crowding the plate.
- Patriots coach Bill Belichick was reported to be the "other man" in an illicit affair with a married woman. The husband, Mike Martz, was said to be devastated by the news. Do you think if the husband was the Sports Dork Bill Simmons, would he even be upset by this news? Or would he think it was an honor that Belichick deemed his wife hot enough to hook up with?
- There is a report that Blue Jays manager John Gibbons challenged Shea Hillenbrand to a fight. Way to pick on a girl. Hopefully the Angels were joking when they said that they would consider Hillenbrand to play first base. Evidentally bantamweight third baseman Maicer Izturis is just that damn good.
- Vince Young is reportedly asking for a signing bonus larger than the $54M deal that first overall pick Mario Williams signed. Young is believed to be asking for $60M. But hey, after looking at his Wonderlic score, Young might believe that $60M < $54M.
This is from the Post Mortem on 7/10:
You have to say that golf has come a long way when two African Americans—Tiger Woods and Trevor Immelman—were battling it out for the Western Open title. Immelman won his first ever PGA event. But having Tiger near the top of the leader board should signal the end of the Lefty era as both golfers take their respective places.
Tiger is already running away with the British Open. Lefty? Wow, he's below David Duval.

Kleenmaid Spare Parts – Still Available
When buying high ticket appliances it is always wise to find a brand that has parts easily available. Even if the appliance only breaks down once in its lifetime you still want to be able to get the spare parts for it as soon as possible so that you can get back on track with the housework. When it comes to Kleenmaid spare parts all are still available in Australia.
Knowing you can get the right spare parts for your appliances saves having to buy a new appliance and so helps you to keep within your budget, important when you have a mortgage or other large bills to pay. No one wants to have to replace their household appliances just for the sake of one little piece that needs renewing.
Kleenmaid products were not manufactured especially for the company; they were actually imported from many other countries and originally carried various other brand names when they arrived, but had the Kleenmaid badge put on them before resale in Australia. This was far better than selling a lot of different name products with which the general public were not familiar.
Anyone who needed kleenmaid repairs on any appliance could find the parts quite easily and have a repairman do the job or else do it themselves if they had the ability. These parts are supplied by many other appliance specialists and you only have to go online to find many places advertising them. Shopping online for small spare parts is quite likely to save you money, too. Of course it is still wise to do a little research to compare prices, but that is easy to do with a few clicks of your mouse.
Years ago many families bought the kleenmaid washing machine and found it a reliable and serviceable workhorse that was easy to use and lasted for many years without needing any repairs. Even though they may have been a little more pricy than some others, this was offset by the fact that they lasted so long. Those who owned them would happily buy the same brand again if they could.
One thing that is mentioned about many newer models of other brands is that they do not have a fast wash cycle. While many may save on water bills, if they cannot wash clothes in half an hour then you are going to be paying much more for the power bill. Saving water is not the only important thing.

Nina Dobrev is taking her time before jumping into another relationship. The Vampire Diaries star said she's looking forward to having some time to herself post-split from Ian Somerhalder. Nina Dobrev isn't in a hurry to find a new beau.
The24-year-old Vampire Diaries star told US Weekly she's taking time for herself following her split from Ian Somerhalder in May.
"I've been a relationship girl and I've been in long-term relationships my whole life until this point, so I think I'm looking forward to spending some time with myself and finding myself again," she told the mag. "I'm just discovering different sides of me and growing and then I'll figure out what I like in a man when I see it."
That might have been one of the reasons for the spur-of-the-moment vacay around the world Nina took with her brother Alex and other friends this summer.
Nina went on to say she and Ian have no hard feelings towards each other post-break-up, adding, "It's all about finding out what meshes and what doesn't, and what you like and what you don't."
"Life is about experiences, so I guess I'm just figuring that out."
The couple called it quits after more than three years together, with both co-stars keeping mum about the reason behind their split.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Rugby League Forum' started by COMMANDER, Aug 30, 2010.
Exactly the same hit as the one that was put on Kitey yesterday. Go Figure.
No comparison. Petero is going for a holiday.
There have been high shots all year,and most only get put on report,so how come petro gets the early shower at this time of the year?Stewart and the rorters player both warranted send-offs Sun.
Mate they both looked like stiff arms across the chops to me.
SHould not of been a send off, in my opinion it was between Stewart and Conns.
anyway, how was that for a finish? poor old noddy
I should not of said no comparison, but I thought it looked pretty bad too. Yeah Kimmorley would love to bury us next week and probably will.
Not probably Bob.... The dogs are specials against Manly
they know they stuffed up yesterday so they had to make an example of petrol
Not probably Bob.... The dogs are specials against Manly [/quote] Hey,bones,at least Doggo will have an easy game-the puppies won't want one of their star recruits for next year hurt in what is a nothing game for them.
Should have never been sent off.
regardless of whether he should have been sent off he will miss at least one semi and probably two.if glen gets six he gets 3.
Bellew gonna be busy this week . Not worthy of sending off , but refs yet again influenced by the media circus from yesterday.
Decent swinging arm and he certainly got it on the button. Worse than Conn's in my opinion, but have seen as bad as that settled by being put on report this year. Petero just unlucky that Finch, Harrigan and the rest of the officials are morons. They are reactionary fools, but who can blame them, they follow the example that Gallop sets. Didn't deserve to be sent off, but he will get a deserved 2 or 3 week holiday.
Manly players should make sure Dogkinson gets the ball heaps and has to hit it up all day. Lets see him get hit by his doggo mates.
Grade 3 reckless high tackle charge facing 2 week ban.
That was a shocker and he knew what he was doing.He gets dirty when what ever team hes playing for is behind.Another cane toad great.Maybe they can make a statue of worship of him up North.

My Thoughts on See's Candy
I am so excited for Easter this year. With Easter comes warmer months and spring time flowers. Oh and don't forget Easter Candy! Yum!
Recently I was sent an amazing package from Sees.com. They are my one stop shop this year for Easter Candy and I must say that I was thrilled with the quality and taste of everything that arrived.
Sees Candy Lollypops – The Sees Gormet Lollypops come in 4 different flavors. Butterscotch, Chocolate, Vanilla and Cafe Latte. The box was stuffed full of lollypops and contained 3 of each flavor. They were also a good sized lollypop and I was able to enjoy the flavors for a long time! Yum!
My favorite lollypop flavor is the vanilla. It has a milky and smooth taste. Positively amazing! These are truly something I will be purchasing in the near future.
See's Candy Awesome Nut & Chew Bar – Oh my…this is my new favorite candy bar. I am not even joking. It really is amazing. This chewy candy bar contains all my favorite thing;. chocolate, almonds, and honey! Wow! The candy bar is the perfect combination. The See's Awesome Nut & Chew Bar box contains 8 candy bars individually wrapped.
My husband hates dark chocolate. I mean really really hates it. When he seen me eating one of these candy bars he grabbed another out of the box and I thought…Here we go. He's going to hate this. But he loved it. This is the first candy with dark chocolate that he has ever enjoyed. He really loved it as much as I did! Yum!
See's Candy Jelly Bird Eggs – See's Jelly Bird Eggs are the perfect alternative for the child that might not like Jelly Beans. These were chewy and delicious Plus the fun bright colors make them the perfect addition to any Easter basket.
The Jelly Bird Eggs come in three different flavors. Yellow = Lemon, Green = Lime, Red = Cherry! Each jelly egg is also covered in yummy candy speckles!
See's Candy Easter Assortment – See's Easter Assortment is the perfect candy mix for your loved one. The assortment contains two chocolate bunnies, two marshmallow eggs, Scotchmallow Egg, Three decorated eggs: Chocolate Butter, Vanilla Chip and Orange, Jelly Beans, and Milk Chocolate Foil Eggs.
The first thing I ate in this box was one of the marshmallow eggs. Yet another hit. These eggs were amazing. Especially the Scothmallow Egg. There is dark chocolate wrapped around a layer of Scotch flavoring and a layer of marshmallow. Oh my!
See's Candy Peanut Butter Egg- I am a sucker for anything with chocolate and peanut butter. They are my favorite flavor combination when it comes to candy. In fact I love it so much that I actually saved it for last and I will be enjoying this amazing chocolate peanut butter egg as I write this review.
The Peanut Butter Egg is 4oz. of nothing but heaven. Milk chocolate around a perfect peanut butter. AMAZING!
All in all See's Candy was simply amazing. I honestly am usually not a huge Easter Candy fan. I find that a lot of it is too sweet for me. That was not the case with any of the See's Candy. Each item exploded with flavor. See's is a brand that I will purchase from in the future. Not just for Easter Candy but for any of my candy needs. This really is that tasty.
How would you like to try some See's Candy of your own? I am so excited to say that one lucky US reader will win a $25 See's Candy Gift Card.

Saturday noon
Hello wonderful one!
I feel like a million – no, a couple millions, as just received two swell letters from the one I love. Guess who? Yes, you. I do love you, Sweetheart.
This is a glorious day and hope to get out and hike this afternoon. Just finished giving the house a thorough cleaning and really worked up an appetite. But before lunch, first comes you.
Your descriptions are very beautiful and I'm so glad that you're still enjoying yourself. The country, with those rolling hills by the sea, really must be thrilling. I did enjoy living by the ocean so much. Maybe someday we can do it again. It was because I was with you that I liked it so and was so very happy. Those have been my happiest days, and it is wonderful to have those memories.
I could just picture that fisherman's camp, and could almost see the various birds you told about. Write real often, won't you, Darling. Take good care of yourself and remember, I'm thinking of and praying for you every day and loving you always.
I'll be writing again tomorrow.
With all my love and flutes of kisses,

For all of the substantial-technician gadgetry that characterizes the fiber optics sector, it really is possibly the humble connector that gives one of the most consternation. For the development manager, it really is staff members training and the potential of substantial installing scrap rates that threatens spending budgets and output deadlines. For system managers and operators, this is basically the sad standing of connectors as the weak hyperlink in the indirect network that triggers exasperation. And, for those celebrations involved, picking an effective connector for field-installing can be a subject matter of mystery and controversy. Fiber Splicing
We have seen many versions on connector installment strategies and encouraged processes. Most recently, nonetheless, conversation has structured on the subject of mechanized connections and splice-on connectors. The mechanical connector is a merchandise that developed mostly out from the enterprise place, and provides a simpler and solution alternative to the epoxy-and-shine connections which preceded it. In comparison, the fusion splice-on connector (or "SOC") developed from the telecommunications place and offers manufacturer-good quality connector efficiency with no pigtails, splice containers, and space specifications that described typical set up techniques. Improvements both in merchandise have steered them in to the FTTH market in which they now symbolize competing alternate options. Fiber Optic Splcing

The attraction of your good area-installable connector to get a FTTH provider is pretty evident. For one thing, a lot of FTTH software include the implementation of fibers submission hubs having an related great number of connections. So, if hardly anything else, an industry-installable choice is required just to result repairs. Beyond that, however, the ramifications for the FTTH drop installment are considerable. Field-installable connectors tend not to need the inventory, terminals, slack storing, up-front side engineering, and up-top expense of a preterminated fall solution. Moreover, they do not call for consumer principle products with splice trays and pigtail assemblies such as a traditional fusion-spliced fall answer. Those are important features as being the FTTH industry appearance toward small customer premise gear to aid the indoor setups which can be sign of multiple-house units. Also, individuals identical attributes can help to manage the price concerns associated with fall setups in countryside deployments. Fusion Splicer

Both mechanical and fusion splice-on connections make use of a pre-shiny fiber stub in the connector ferrule. Mechanized connector, because the title indicates, make use of a mechanised method to line up a cleaved dietary fiber using the pre-refined stub and then use a cam, wedge, or crimp mechanism to safe the fibers collectively. Essentially, this is a connector conclusion-face and a technical splice in a single bundle and inside a handful of millimeters range of merely one one more. The craft-based alignment and appearance of two optical discontinuities in these shut closeness to a single another has always been the lack of strength of the technical connector. To regulate with this intrinsic shortcoming, providers have tried crawl matching gels to reduce the reflectance and attenuation associated with the mechanical splice powering the pre-refined stub. Nonetheless, the lifespan of your gel along with the robustness in the mechanised splice have often been sketchy.

A friend is taking his parents to Cirque du Soleil, and needs a dinner spot in Costa Mesa.
He's currently considering Mastro's, and I don't know the area well enough to offer suggestions anyway.
Price is no object, but they want good food and a posh ambiance. He's treating his parents to a night on the town, and he wants to do it right in every sense. Seafood, steak, anything goes. They eat plenty of Asian food on their own, so maybe something Western this time around. TIA!

Hop Crisis is one of the biggest beers ever packaged in an aluminum cylinder, measuring 9.7 percent alcohol by volume and 94 IBUs. (International bitterness units, or IBUs, are a measure of alpha acids, the principal bittering component in hops. Twelve IBUs are at the threshold of taste. Sixty IBUs mark a solid India pale ale. Eighty IBUs are past the ability of the human palate to detect any further gradations in bitterness, according to some brewers I've talked to.)
Additionally, Hop Crisis is aged with toasted oak spirals that, according to brewmaster Shaun O'Sullivan, add "a back-palate dryness that complements the hops."
For such a huge beer, Hop Crisis is fairly light on the palate — a consequence of the brewers using dextrose, a simple, easily fermentable sugar, to boost the alcohol without adding extra body or sweetness.
The can, which comes in four-packs, shows caricatures of O'Sullivan and his partner, Nico Freccia, in striped prison uniform, plotting an escape from Alcatraz to liberate the hops from "a hop syndicate" that is "hoarding the hops in a remote warehouse."
Are they pulling our leg? Are we facing a major hop deficit?
At the Craft Brewers Conference in San Francisco this past March, one dealer in hop extract said he expected a "big slam" in 2014. "Brewers don't want to sign contracts with hop growers," he explained. "They want to buy on the spot market for the lowest price. Farmers are tearing up hops and planting corn."
Three years ago, a "perfect storm" of bad weather, poor harvests and a weak American dollar did result in a severe hop shortage in the United States, driving the price of some key varieties to as high as $30 a pound or more. As a philanthropic gesture, Boston Beer Co. chairman Jim Koch offered 20,000 pounds of surplus hops at cost to his fellow brewers. He received requests for 100,000 pounds.
"Some people actually believed that there was a conspiracy of sorts, that a hop cartel similar to OPEC was hoarding hops to drive up the price," laughs O'Sullivan.
But the talk of a hop conspiracy on the can is meant to be tongue-in-cheek, he admits. For the time being, common strains like Cascade and Columbus are abundant, and prices have dropped to a reasonable $5/6 a pound.
However, a few aroma varieties like Simcoe, Ahtanum and Amarillo (all of which are used in Hop Crisis) are in short supply due to low acreage and high demand from brewers eager to try the latest strains. "We as brewers tend to move in packs," says O'Sullivan. "When we hear about something, we jump on it."
O'Sullivan admits he's had to reformulate beer to compensate for a lack of certain hop varieties. "It makes you a smarter businessman," he insists. "You need to contract your hops to safeguard your supply."
And maybe stop using them as packing material.

Training / Train-the-Trainer
Using NLP in Training
In his book "Changing Belief Systems with NLP", one of the earliest NLP practitioners, Robert Dilts, identifies six discrete levels of experience corresponding to six different levels of neurological 'circuitry'. The Dilts Change Model (as it has now become known and which is shown in the pyramid diagram below) simply says that the ability for someone to change what he or she thinks and ultimately does is governed by a hierarchy of different levels of perception. The higher the level at which the change is made, the more pervasive and permanent the change will be.
One simple way to use this model is to think about a hierarchy of questions we can put to an individual starting at the base environment level (with where and when as shown in the table below) and then moving up with deeper questions which elicit more reflection and therefore potential change.
|Eliciting Question
|Where and When
Dilts suggest then that our beliefs, identity and purpose are so powerful a force in our lives, we need to understand them well so as to get control of them (and to ensure that they don't control us)? Many of our beliefs (and therefore our whole identity and perceived purpose in life) were instilled in us as children by parents, teachers, social upbringing, and the media before we were aware of their impact or able to have a choice about them. Of course, it is possible to restructure, unlearn, or change old beliefs which may be limiting us and imprint new ones that can expand our potential beyond what we currently imagine.
The Impact on Training
So what impact does this thinking have on training? Well, training must seek to change thinking at a higher level than where and when but at least at the behavior level of what should change and then higher. Why would you consider training someone who is already exhibiting the behaviors and even skills (capabilities in the Dilts model) that are needed? But here is the problem. Changing behavior, capabilities or beliefs is more difficult and takes time. Individuals may be locked in to a deep set of beliefs that are hard to dislodge. For example, an individual may believe him or herself to be incompetent or stupid, may not value the knowledge being shared or training being offered, or they may have a self-concept that is different to the person the trainer/coach perceives the person to have!
To take a very simple personal coaching example, we may want to encourage an individual to give up smoking. Everyone is capable of not smoking, so it should be relatively easy to get the whole world to quit right? Well, as we all know, it is extremely difficult for many people, no matter how good the encouragement or coaching. Why? Because for most smokers, it is not a case of changing their base knowledge about when and where they can smoke (which has been heavily constrained in recent years) or even their capability or skills (giving them substitute products for example). Instead it is more about changing beliefs and the smoker's identity as a smoker. This is manifested in beliefs such as: "I am more sociable/confident when I smoke", "It gives me something to do with my hands" or "I will put on weight if I stop", etc.
All training or coaching then can be the most effective when it encompass the beliefs and identity level in Dilts' model. If trainers can get participants to change their unsupportive beliefs about themselves, then the behavior will change much more effectively, comprehensively and lastingly than simply trying to change capability. A trainer cannot change a person's beliefs of course (he or she must be the one to make the change) but they can create the climate in which this is possible.
Apart from building in many more how, why and who questions to any training or coaching event, one extremely effective way to have an impact on individual's beliefs is to use metaphors: playing games; telling stories; and having them experience things for themselves as much as possible. The job of the trainer or coach is to provide the safe environment for this to happen. This is the ultimate power of experiential learning, and the most natural way to use the NLP Change Model in training.

Explore two Historic Lighthouses Accessible Only By Boat
Following the presentation, participants will drive to the McClellanville boat landing and board the Coastal Expeditions Caretta Ferry to travel to the Island. Winding though the estuary to Lighthouse Island, 6 miles offshore, is part of the adventure, and skilled naturalists will provide interpretation of the flora and fauna that surrounds the boat en route to the destination.
Built in 1827, the conical lighthouse stands at 65 feet. Its light, powered by a whale oil wick lamp, was visible from a distance of 14 miles under the most favorable circumstances. In 1857, a 150-foot octagonal lighthouse was built. Installed on the 150-foot tower was a prismatic lens that was visible for approximately 19 miles and dramatically reduced the number of shipwrecks off the Cape. The 1857 light was taken out of service in 1947 when coastal navigation techniques made it obsolete.
The lights are a significant maritime landmark and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The 1827 lighthouse is the oldest of its kind still standing in the United States.
This is an incredible outdoor adventure that combines a fun-filled boat eco-tour with exploration of the lighthouses, perfect for all ages!
Book your ticket today and embark on this seldom-offered expedition!
IMPORTANT: In order to gain access to Lighthouse Island, participants depart the boat via a ramp and wade though a section of marsh before it becomes solid ground. Please dress appropriately for this part of the expedition. If you have questions or concerns about this, please call and we will provide more information.
