While Choosing a Professional Speaker, three Deadly Sins to Avoid
As I review the speaker's business sector I've wound up being slightly drained tenaciously utilizing the title "Motivational Speaker". I will address a couple of these speaker generalizations and in a perfect world simultaneously manufacture a not schedule that pointing speakers may use on their streets to accomplishment in the remunerating talking market.
Motivational Speaker Stereotype Number One:
The "Over-The-Top" Speaker
The "Over-The-Top" Speaker or the O.T.T. Speaker seems to have really found a fresh out of the box new crash eat less that incorporates heaps of immaculate sugar and caffeine. The O.T.T. will at any given minute think that its expected to consume huge measures of vitality hustling about the stage as though a rifleman has them in the line of sight. Amid littler office presentations, The O.T.T. speaker may moreover be seen jumping on a work area yelling "Pull out all the stops!" or playing out their best impressions of previous Governor and one time Presidential energetic, Howard Dean's notable "YEAAAAAHHHHHH".
It didn't work for Mr. Dignitary either.
I don't work area obstacle. Heaps of master speakers whom I acknowledge keep their motions regular and their tones conversational in nature. This is not "Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey" and a speaker's stage is not a major outdoors tent.
Motivational Speaker Stereotype Number Two:
The "T.M.I." Speaker
In endeavors to candidly associate with the peruser, the notorious T.M.I. Speaker presents an abundant excess Information of an individual nature. To the bewilderment of the working with power, the TMI speaker makes utilization of 90% of their time retracting internal turmoil, heartbroken, pass up blow analyses of misuse, individual battles and calamities. Touching, the system's center is clouded and the message weakened by the T.M.I. Speakers deluging pity party. The T.M.I. speaker can't perceive the target of any system is to move some kind of activity of the peruser, not to wind up being a saint or philanthropy case.
Drawing in your peruser is the goal of any expert speaker, however individual stories should simply be used in the event that they straightforwardly backing and effect the aggregate style of your project. It would be ideal if you empower me to seal my perspective with a short story: During my first master position as a paralegal for an administration organization I had the magnificent opportunity to work next to each other with an assortment of talented individuals and mentors. These guides showed me various convincing business ideas that I without further ado use. One day at work on a congested lift I hit up a talk with one such mentor. In the endeavors to secure the guiltless and the neglectful I'll depict the coach in this story as "Mr. Edwards".
Me: Hello Mr. Edwards, I watched you in the anteroom prior today …
Mr. Edwards: Yes, Timothy my family unit visited me …
Me: Really? Was that your child you were holding prior?
Mr. Edwards: Oh no, that was my nephew. I can't have children, I'm sterile.
Me: Okay
Motivational Speaker Stereotype Number Three:
The "Innovative, Low-Performance" Speaker
The H.T.L.P. Speaker loves to put on a system! The H.T.L.P's system not simply begins, its center and its end is covered with cutting edge, eye-popping sound-impacts and an incredible fever of ostentatious visuals. In the begin the peruser is totally entranced, in any case it winds up being horribly evident that the H.T.L.P. is overwhelming on the marvelousness and light on the substance. The H.T.L.P. is a show-individual. The H.T.L.P's whole discourse can be come down to a bookmark of persuasive quotes which can be effortlessly found by any 12-year-old playing out a 30-second hunt on GOOGLE. Yes, the H.T.L.P. gets the peruser's advantage, however has no clue where to go from that point, with the exception of, you thought it, onto the following variety of visual, vain showcases which come full circle into tactile over-burden and advantageous substance hardship.
Heaps of master persuasive speakers recognize the need to record the peruser's advantage, however ought to a specialist speaker require a truckload of explosives to isn't that right? No. The exceedingly concerned master speaker understands that she or he is the supplier of the subtle elements being dispersed not some slide projector, motion picture screen or engineered test system. The speaker who depends too significantly on hardware to convey a message meddles with the human-component of their substance. Constraining the fancy odds and ends in the show will empower both the peruser and the speaker to focus on the subject and reason for the project. Customers watching their Rate of Investment (ROI) versus their Rate of Return (ROR) will expect less appear, more organization and quantifiable result in approve a speaker's charge. Basically, if the main prerequisites for a viable discourse are extravagant PowerPoint slides and stunning visuals, there's no necessity for an individual, and I ask to change.
Wrap Up:
A speaker shouldn't depend on any one method too enormously and the incomparable objective should dependably be to leave the peruser with a game-plan they are urged to seek after. An expert speaker who leaves his customer with good quantifiable final products is a profoundly well known asset and no clowning matter.
As I overview the speaker's business sector I've wound up being slightly drained determinedly wearing the title "Motivational Speaker". I will resolve a couple of these speaker generalizations and in a perfect world in the meantime develop a not schedule that pointing speakers may use on their roadways to achievement in the fiscally compensating talking industry.
The "Over-The-Top" Speaker or the O.T.T. Speaker seems to have really found another prevailing fashion diet arrangement which incorporates piles of immaculate sugar and caffeine. Drawing in your peruser is the objective of any expert speaker, however individual stories should simply be utilized in the event that they straight backing and influence the general subject of your project. Various expert helpful speakers recognize the need to catch the peruser's advantage, yet ought to an expert speaker require a truckload of dynamites to isn't that right?

Few figures of British history are as well known in modern society as are the figures of King Henry VIII and his second wife Anne Boleyn. Both were intriguing people in their own regard and the secret romance between them, which in turn became a 'legitimate' marriage, had an enormous effect on the political scene of their day.
Henry had been crowned king directly after his eighteenth birthday in 1509. At the same time, Henry chose to marry Catherine of Aragon and make her his queen. As his reign matured, Catherine gave birth to several children, all of whom were stillborn or died shortly after birth. In 1516 she had her first surviving child, Mary. By this time, however, Henry had taken up the habit of having mistresses, a habit of which Catherine was aware.
Henry's first son was born in 1519. The only problem was that the son was illegitimate since he was born by Henry's mistress Elizabeth Blount. The son, Henry FitzRoy, was made Duke of Richmond in 1525, a move that some thought signaled Henry's intent to make the illegitimate heir a contender for succession. By 1520 Henry had become impatient with Catherine's inability to produce a male heir.
It was shortly after the birth of Henry FitzRoy that the king began his first affair with a Boleyn, though not one named Anne. Mary Boleyn, Queen Catherine's lady-in-waiting, became Henry's mistress even though she was married, and the two children she bore during that time were of uncertain birth. What is certain is that Henry did not treat them as his own children. While Henry carried on his affair with Mary Boleyn, he got his first glimpse of Mary's younger sister Anne. He was immediately taken with her and began his attempts to seduce her, attempts that the younger Boleyn sister initially refused.
When faced with the options of pushing for his illegitimate son's succession or hoping against hope that his daughter would produce a grandson before his death, Henry decided to pursue a third option: gain an annulment of his marriage to Catherine. It was this third option that resulted in Henry's ultimate break with the Catholic Church.
Although Henry had resolved himself to obtain an annulment whatever the cost, Anne was not so quick to return the show of affection. It is widely assumed that she continued to withhold her consent to Henry's advances until it was made clear that she would become his queen. Before then, Henry had to obtain an annulment, something that the pope refused to give him. Henry hatched a plan whereby he hoped to obtain the annulment and make Anne his second wife.
With the pieces of his plan in place, in 1831 Henry banished Catherine from his court and gave her place to Anne Boleyn. Shortly thereafter Thomas Cranmer was appointed Archbishop of Canterbury. Cranmer obtained the position in large part because the king knew he would agree to support Henry's marriage to Anne. Henry obtained the word of the French king that he would also support the marriage, and upon Henry's return to Dover he was secretly married to Anne.
Historical accounts vary as to the date of this first secret wedding. It is thought that following their 'wedding' Anne became pregnant. This fact, combined with the fact that Henry's marriage to Catherine had not yet been annulled, led the couple to participate in a second wedding ceremony. This private ceremony took place on 25 January 1533 in London. Within a few months, Cranmer declared Henry's marriage to Catherine null and recognized the validity of Henry's marriage to Anne Boleyn. She was crowned queen shortly thereafter, but Henry was still left with the task of legitimizing his actions to the pope.
Henry chose to take matters into his own hands in a way that would obviate his need to deal with the pope in the future. Through Parliament Henry passed laws that removed Catherine's daughter from the line of succession. Other laws then recognized the legitimacy of his marriage to Anne. The famous Act of Supremacy declared Henry to be the head of the church in England. The pope reacted to this move by excommunicating both Henry and Thomas Cranmer.
As for Anne, shortly after her coronation she gave birth to a daughter whom she named Elizabeth. The marriage was not what Henry had hoped it would be. When Henry was pursuing Anne in the heat of their illicit affair, her strong will and lively nature made her all the more attractive. After she had been crowned queen and the reality of royal life set in, Henry did not appreciate her independence nearly as much.
Only eighteen months after their secret marriage Henry had returned to his habit of taking mistresses. Anne's inability to produce a male heir further contributed to his discontent with the marriage. Anne's miscarriage in 1536 and the death of Henry's first wife pushed Henry to the end of his patience. Anne was imprisoned following her final miscarriage, while Henry turned his attentions to his mistress and Anne's lady-in-waiting, Jane Seymour. Anne Boleyn was executed on trumped up charges of treason and only a day later Henry was engaged to Jane Seymour.
In what would be an interesting addition to the story of Henry VIII and his six wives, modern research has suggested that Henry may have been the reason that he had so few heirs over the course of his many marriages. A large majority of the children that his partners did produce were either stillborn or died shortly after birth. Scientists claim that Henry may have had a rare blood type that caused serious health and fertility problems. We can never know for sure if Henry was truly to blame, but it would be a cruel footnote in history if it were true.

TOURIST information centres could be reopened, despite only having been closed three months ago.
The Caernarfon and Porthmadog-based centres were shut in November as part of a raft of measures by Gwynedd Council to cope with funding cuts.
Now North Wales Tourism (NWT) is in talks with the authority about the possibility of reopening the centres as soon as possible.
Jim Jones, managing director of NWT, said: "We're currently in talks with Gwynedd Council to look at what we can do with the tourism information centres.
"We're keen to have an information service of some form in Caernarfon and Porthmadog for visitors.
"The centre would be managed by North Wales Tourism in some form of partnership with Gwynedd Council.
"It's a foundation of any tourism town to have an information service for visitors, especially one with so much to offer for tourists such as Caernarfon.
"I'd like to stress that negotiations are still ongoing with the council and nothing has been secured yet."
Cllr Endaf Cooke of the Seiont Ward, Caernarfon, said: "It's great news that there are talks ongoing about re-opening the tourism centres, as shutting them down in the first place was a mistake.
"I think that any scheme put in place to boost tourism of Caernarfon and Gwynedd as a whole, will prove to be beneficial in the long run and that's why I welcome it."
A spokesman for the Gwynedd Council said: "The council can confirm that it is currently in discussions with North Wales Tourism regarding the possible future use of the former TIC's in Porthmadog and Caernarfon as visitor expereience hubs."

It's easy to get frustrated when you're creating a business or even in the process of determining what it is you want to create for yourself. Things always take longer than you think they will and there are always more and more questions that arise and tasks you never knew you would need to tackle.
But here's the deal. There is no short cut.
As outsiders it sometimes appears that others took a shortcut or "got lucky". We don't know what went on behind the scenes though to get them where they are today. Look at for example the rock star who suddenly showed up out of nowhere with a #1 hit and skyrocketed to the top of the charts. It would appear that they got lucky, found the right song, had the right manager, someone discovered them and it was a fairytale ride to the top. What we didn't see was, she has been playing guitar since she was 4 years old, singing just as long. Has been through hundreds of talent competitions, played in several failing bands, spends months on the road sleeping in a van, etc. Until one day, she got noticed.
All of those years of making incremental progress finally got her past the tipping point.
We all want the instant rise to success. Regardless of what your business is you set goals, you push yourself and you undoubtedly face frustration when it's not happening fast enough. However, without the incremental progress you would not be able to manage success should it hit in an instant. You need the infrastructure and experience that incremental progress gives you.
Seth Godin recently talked about this in his blog and he equates it to the rise of our oceans. We don't notice that every day our oceans are rising at a very slow rate (incremental progress). We only notice when there is massive incident, like a hurricane, that pushes the water levels to temporary new heights. This is a false high, the water will retreat because the foundation is not at that level yet.
3 Strategies For Embracing Incremental Progress
- Acknowledge your accomplishments everyday. At the end of the day take time to inventory what you accomplished in that day. Take a couple minutes to jot these down in your journal or in your calendar.
- Start tracking and measuring. If you played sports when you were younger or just follow sports, you know the importance of keeping score. Keeping score is not always about the immediate outcome of winning or losing, it's about showing progress. Keeping score helps you identify trends and see what's working and what's not. You should be tracking your marketing efforts, looking at website traffic, Facebook followers, etc. Tracking gives you history and history shows your progress.
- Celebrate! If you want more of anything you must appreciate what you have. Give yourself credit for what you have accomplished so far. Set small goals and celebrate the wins. You deserve it. Yes, some accomplishments deserve a bigger celebration – like a bottle champagne! And even the smallest accomplishment deserves a pat on the back. Be proud of your work and incremental progress you are making.
P.S. If you really need a boost, set aside an hour or so and recap the past year. Where were you one year ago in your business. Write down what you have accomplished in that time. Everything, don't gloss over the tiny details, those are the things that add up to massive progress. If you can't recall the tasks you've completed, look back through your calendar and photos. They will trigger the events of that time and help you see just how amazing you are. When you're done…CELEBRATE!
Checkout out our upcoming Go Beyond Workshop. It's 3 days designed to take you out of your daily distractions and get you focused on taking massive action. It's like putting your progress on steroids. Trust me – you'll be celebrating big time at the end of these 3 days!

The cold months are here, and so is the increase in your home's energy usage. Before the days get too chilly, put these key steps in motion to save some serious pocket change on your next utility bill.
- Swap out your 40 watt bulbs for a more efficient LED bulb. While the lights themselves may be more costly, they will save you money in the long run. Begin with one room in the house and every couple months splurge for another room's new light bulbs. Slowly, your home's lighting will become more energy efficient, dropping your electricity usage.
- Trade in those mesh curtains for an energy efficient alternative. Darkening shades can help to keep your house warm by trapping heat inside. As an added bonus, they also shield the sun, so sleeping in on the weekends has never been easier.
- If you have a family of four, doing laundry can add up quick! Decrease your energy usage by switching to a coldwash detergent and only using hot water when deep cleaning whites. For additional savings, hang items to dry in the basement or garage, eliminating the energy needed for the dryer.
- Fill your freezer. By keeping a full freezer, you make the appliance work less, once all the food is frozen. Each of the items inside of the freezer will help keep the space frozen, meaning less energy is needed to keep everything cold.
- Pile on the layers this season. Once the cold comes, instead of running to the thermostat, make your way to the closet. Adding sweatshirts, jackets, and cardigans to your wardrobe can help you stay toasty on those chilly nights, without spiking your energy bill. If the evening is particularly cold, enjoy the night in front of a warm kindling in the fireplace, and remember to add a couple blankets to your bed!
Whatever tactics you choose to save, Timberwood Bank is here to help! Give us a call or stop by today!

AS DAVID Eger, a Champions Tour player, was identified as the man who flagged up Tiger Woods' illegal drop in last month's Masters, the game's ruling bodies yesterday sent out a warning over a player's obligations to return a correct scorecard.
While the R&A and USGA have confirmed that Masters officials were right not to disqualify Woods over that particular infringement in the season's opening major, they insist that it has not set a precedent.
In a joint statement, the two bodies have confirmed that Woods was only spared disqualification on "exceptional facts", namely the Masters committee's failure to inform him that there had been concerns about a drop at the 15th in his second round before signing his scorecard. "The Woods ruling should not be viewed as a general precedent for relaxing or ignoring a competitor's essential obligation under the Rules to return a correct scorecard," said the statement.
"Further, although a committee should do its best to alert competitors to potential Rules issues that may come to its attention, it has no general obligation to do so; and the fact that a committee may be aware of such a potential issue before the competitor returns his scorecard should not, in and of itself, be a basis for waiving a penalty of disqualification under Rule 6-6d.
"Only a rare set of facts, akin to the exceptional facts at the 2013 Masters Tournament, would justify a committee's use of its discretion to waive a penalty of disqualification for returning an incorrect scorecard." Meanwhile, Eger has been revealed as the television viewer who alerted officials to the incorrect drop made by Woods, according to Sports Illustrated.
"I could see there was a divot – not a divot, a divot hole – when he played the shot the second time that was not there the first time," Eger, a one-time senior director of rules and competition at the USGA told the magazine.

A speech written by Daniel DiAntonio, son of James "Jay" DiAntonio, to which the Milford Youth Center is dedicated after, at Town Meeting – June 12, 2006:
My name is Daniel DiAntonio and I am a registered voter in the town of Milford. Eleven years ago, my father, Jay DiAntonio passed away from pancreatic cancer. He was a dedicated Milford Fire Fighter and EMT who was very involved in this community. Over the course of his life he maintained a strong passion towards the youth of Milford. He was an avid School Committee Member, DARE facilitator, CCD teacher, as well as Pop Warner and Little League coach, to name a few. Through this continued involvement, my father's main goal was to open a Youth Center in the Town of Milford. Unfortunately, my father passed away; however, his dream of opening a Youth Center remained alive.
Upon his death, my mother established a fund which put all donations in my dad's memory towards the creation of a Youth Center. With the help of our State Representative, Marie Parente, a meeting was set up with the National Guard to look into using space in their building to establish a Center. A Youth Commission was soon appointed by the Board of Selectman which consisted of several individuals who wanted to see my father's dream carried out. Some of the original Commission Members were my mother, Mary DiAntonio, Attny. Fran Small, Attny. Patricia Webber, Officer Omar Recore, Susan Caligione, the late Al Inglesi, Judy Innis, Lenny Morcone, Cindy Larson, Jan Carlin, and five Milford High School Students. After several meetings with the National Guard, a deal was made and a plan was put into place to open the Youth Center. In the spring of 1997, a tremendous amount of hard work was put in to prepare space for a center. Several fundraisers were held such as the Pancake Breakfast, the Spaghetti Dinner, and the youth oriented dances, which all led up to the grand opening in 1998.
I am happy to say that through all of this hard work and commitment, the Youth Center has grown into a place where a large number of youth actively engage themselves in both sports oriented and academic based activities. Not only is this building important to all of the children in Milford, but it too holds a special place in my heart, knowing my father's dream did not die with him. In many ways, the Youth Center serves as recognition of my father's love for the town's youth and the dedication and time he gave to them. I would ask you to support this article in hope that this center may continue to prosper for many years to come. In closing, I would like to leave you with a quote that my father used during his School Committee campaign which reads "The children of today are our future, and preparing for our future begins now." Thank you.

11/15/2005 - "Apoptosis was significantly increased when H460 lung cancer cells were treated with OGX-011 plus radiation. "
02/01/2008 - "Phase II trials of combined OGX-011 and chemotherapy are ongoing in patients with prostate, breast, and lung cancers."
11/15/2005 - "A combination of radiotherapy and OGX-011 improved control of tumor growth and vascular regression in the H460 lung cancer model."
|Neoplasm Metastasis (Metastasis)
09/20/2010 - "Baseline factors associated with improved OS on exploratory multivariate analysis were an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 (hazard ratio [HR], 0.27; 95% CI, 0.14 to 0.51), presence of bone or lymph node metastases only (HR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.25 to 0.79), and treatment assignment to OGX-011 (HR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.29 to 0.87). "
02/20/2015 - "CLU suppression using OGX-011 may represent a promising therapeutic option for suppressing HCC metastasis. "
02/20/2015 - "We further observed that CLU knockdown using the CLU inhibitor OGX-011 significantly suppressed HCC metastasis in two metastatic models through inhibiting EIF3I/Akt/MMP13 signaling. "
02/01/2009 - "Furthermore, OGX-011 chemo-sensitized UM-UC-3R cells to gemcitabine in vitro with a reduction in the concentration that reduces the effect by 50% (IC50) from 100 nm to 10 nm. Tumour volume and the incidence of metastasis in nude mice injected with UM-UC-3R cells was significantly greater than those of nude mice injected with UM-UC-3P cells; however, systemic administration of OGX-011 plus a low dose of gemcitabine significantly suppressed tumour volume and the incidence of metastasis in both groups. "

11/15/2005 - "Doppler studies showed that tumor blood flow was compromised when mice bearing H460 xenografts were treated with OGX-011 and radiation. "
09/01/2011 - "In vivo evaluation of the Hsp90 inhibitors with OGX-011 in xenograft models of human CRPC showed that OGX-011 markedly potentiated antitumor efficacy, leading to an 80% inhibition of tumor growth with prolonged survival compared with Hsp90 inhibitor monotherapy. "
07/01/2009 - "Our data indicate that HDACI-induced clusterin over-expression renders cancer cells resistant to HDACI-induced growth arrest and apoptosis, and suggests the addition of OGX-011 to HDACIs in future clinical trials in cancer patients."
09/07/2005 - "The primary objective of this clinical study was to determine a biologically effective dose of OGX-011 that would inhibit clusterin expression in human cancer. "
01/01/2012 - "Finally, OGX-011 in combination with gemcitabine substantially decreased the in vivo tumor growth and promoted apoptosis. "

The Hazards of Autopay
By Mrs. COD on October 1, 2017
Autopay. It saves so many headaches when it comes to taking care of bills you know you'll need to pay anyway. But beware! Autopay also has a sneaky side! Today in the COD annals, learn from our mistakes. Let's review what to do and what NOT to do to avoid the hazards of autopay.
What TO do:
- Set up automatic payments for things like regular bills–garbage pickup, electricity, credit cards (at least the minimums, if not the full balance). If this helps you avoid late fees and ensure that all bills are paid promptly, then go for it.
What NOT to do:
- Leave payment information saved in any electronic devices that children may be using!!!!
- Save payment information in places where you are most likely to overspend or spend spontaneously on non-necessities (I'm looking at you, Amazon Prime!)
We learned this $27 lesson last week when Junior COD decided that Minecraft looked "so cool" and he "just clicked buy". Conveniently, he neglected to mention this to me or ask me about it until after he had already gone through the buying process (which was just clicking "buy").
Junior was supposed to be playing (and learning, of course) on abcmouse.com the other day while Mini COD was napping and I read on the porch just one room away. However, after ten minutes or so, he ventured onto the porch with me and told me what he'd been up to.
He plays abcmouse.com games on my laptop, which Mr. COD also had connected to his XBOX account as we sometimes watch movies through that. In the few weeks since signing up for abcmouse.com, he has always been perfectly well-behaved. I guess, like many other parents before us, we hadn't thought to sternly outline the rules with him beforehand: 1. Abcmouse.com is the ONLY thing you are to do on this computer, nothing else. 2. Do not click on anything with a price or the word "buy"!
I remember I used to worry one of the boys would pick up my Kindle and inadvertently purchase expensive books no one would ever read since I had it connected to "buy with 1-click". That never happened, probably due to the fact that we never allowed them to watch shows or play games on my Kindle, so it was rather uninteresting to them. They're also fairly good about our phones. Occasionally we'll let them play the "okay Google" game with the phone. They love to look up photos and information about dinosaurs and other creatures using that feature, and have never accidentally wandered into the realm of purchasing via autopay.
Mr. COD attempted to cancel the Minecraft transaction, but alas, it was too late. Junior COD is now prohibited from playing the game for at least one week as punishment for buying something without permission. We explained to him that $27 is not a trivial amount of money to us, especially for entertainment. Plus, we had never approved his playing of the game in the first place (he only knew of Minecraft from watching his older cousins). We also informed him that this purchase will be considered a part of his Christmas.
Now, let's be real here…Christmas is three months away, and in toddler-time, that might as well be an eternity. We're not going to stand there on Christmas morning and tell him, "Sorry, kid, all you get is a pair of socks because of that time you bought Minecraft!" We'll probably get him the same amount of presents we would have anyway. However, we won't feel a bit guilty for selecting presents primarily from Ollie's Discount Store or Bargain Hunt.
Fixin' Things For The Future
So the night after the Minecraft autopay debacle, we went into our accounts that had automatic payments saved. It was really just Amazon and XBOX; thankfully, we don't have a plethora of store credit cards or accounts. Now, we've made it more difficult to purchase because you must enter the password. It's a pain, especially with the XBOX which has one of those ridiculous passwords that's 47 characters long, which is why we had it saved in the first place. Certainly, this makes buying stuff more of a hassle overall (NOT a bad thing). Spending money should be a pain, much of the time.
Building in a Waiting Period
We do enjoy our Amazon Prime membership, especially with two kids and a house out in the boonies. It cuts down on our driving time for errands and simplifies buying necessities, like parts to repair our 12-year-old van. Regardless, shouldn't we always think a bit before we click "buy"? This builds in a little of that crucial wait time so many recommend for spending less. (See Mrs. Picky Pincher's account of beating her Amazon obsession for more on this!) I know I'm a tad less likely to buy something spur-of-the-moment if I have to go through that extra step of entering my account information and password. I go through the added "pain" of searching for my credit card and typing in the information, which makes me pause. More often than not, I'll decide not to buy that nifty gadget after all.
I'm just thankful this was only a $27 mistake! Kinda forgot about those autopay hazards. We meant to lock up those accounts a long time ago, so we're lucky Junior COD stopped at one game and didn't buy, like, a plasma-screen TV or something. Now we'll return to buying the old-fashioned way…ya know, by manually entering our payment info when we actually need to buy something!
What kind of faux pas have you made with kids and money?

At age 56, Bill Davidson is back at school, learning math, social studies and reading skills to prepare for a general equivalency diploma test.
The Corona man has been out of work since February and is terrified about losing his home to foreclosure.
Davidson traces his financial problems to his 1971 decision to drop out of high school.
"I didn't realize until later in life how it affected me," Davidson said after a morning at Riverside Adult School. "It held me back."
The economic crisis has affected people of all educational backgrounds, but no one more than those who dropped out or never attended high school.
The national unemployment rate is more than three times higher for dropouts than for college graduates.
Nearly 26 percent of Inland dropouts over 24 live in poverty, compared to 5 percent of college graduates, according to the 2010 U.S. Census.
The typical Inland dropout earns less than $20,000 a year. A high school diploma boosts incomes to nearly $28,000 and a college degree to about $51,000.
High school dropouts are more likely to be sick, obese and dependent on government aid, and they commit more crimes, studies show.
Even in good times, dropouts were finding it increasingly difficult to find good jobs, as manufacturing moved overseas and more employers began demanding diplomas.
Davidson said he easily found a job at a plastics factory after dropping out and worked through the 1980s and 1990s at an electronics manufacturing plant. His employers didn't ask for a high school diploma.
"Nowadays things are totally different," he said. "You have to have a lot more knowledge than you did 30 or 40 years ago."
Schools have long known who is most at risk of dropping out: Kids of low-income, less-educated parents.
Now they are armed with research that details how to keep children of all backgrounds interested in school and ways to find red flags as early as kindergarten that a child may be headed for trouble.
San Jacinto Unified School District intensely monitors elementary school students' attendance to look for missed days, frequently calls parents when children are absent and offers incentives like raffles for bikes for good attendance, said Marianna Vinson, the district's director of accountability and assessment. Students who miss too many days in early grades often fall further and further behind and have a hard time catching up, she said.
That's a key reason why high absenteeism in elementary school is linked to high dropout rates, said Russell Rumberger, a University of California vice provost and author of "Dropping Out: Why Students Drop Out of High School and What Can Be Done About It," released this month.
Many children who regularly miss school live in high-crime neighborhoods and often are immersed in the chaos caused by parental break-ups, job loss and foreclosures, he said. Many are raised by single parents who have a harder time keeping track of them.
Yet budget cuts in recent years have led many districts to cut back on programs that work with parents, said John Rogers, director of UCLA's Institute for Democracy, Education and Access.
California ranks last nationwide in the ratio of students to each librarian, instructional aide and counselor, employees who are especially important in assisting struggling students, he said. Only two states have more students per teacher.
Leadership is key to reducing dropout rates, but many school and district administrators avoid change, because they find it easier to follow old practices rather than risk resistance, said Carlos Nevarez, director of Cal State Sacramento's doctorate program in educational leadership.
Citrus Hill High School in Perris serves high-poverty areas south of Moreno Valley, but its 4.5 percent dropout rate is below that of more affluent schools.
The school tailors its programs and schedules toward its demographic realities, said Juan Cabral, principal of Citrus Hill. Most programs aimed at boosting student achievement are offered during the school day because many students need to take care of younger siblings or work after school, Cabral said.
Teachers look out for potential problems, and they and school officials frequently comb students' grades and test scores, Cabral said.
"We try to make sure we don't have anyone fall through the cracks," he said.
Earlier this year, a teacher expressed concern about a student. Cabral met with him and his parents and discovered the boy had recently moved and hadn't made friends yet. His grades were low but he liked math, so he was placed in an engineering class. His grades are improving and he's making friends with kids who have similar interests, Cabral said.
That approach illustrates the school's strategy of finding what is most likely to keep students coming to school, whether it is a particular class or a club, Cabral said.
Students start losing interest in school early on if there's nothing to engage them, and if they don't find something to succeed at, Rumberger said.
"It makes them start to give up," he said. "It's really important for kids to have a sense of confidence. You have to have a sense that you're capable of doing it."
Tutoring and caring teachers who offer individual attention are more effective than having a student repeat a grade that has the same uninspiring material, he said. Students held back a grade are much more likely to drop out.
Schools also should concentrate more on students interested in fields that may not require a university degree, so non-college-bound students don't get frustrated and drop out, Rumberger said.
"Partnership academies" in more than 500 California schools, including dozens in the Inland area, feature career-oriented curricula in addition to traditional academic subjects. The academies receive extra state funding and must have a study body that is at least half "at-risk," which includes students who have had academic troubles.
At the Academy of Business and Technology within Banning High School, students take specialized courses in digital imaging, video production and entrepreneurial skills. Students visit workplaces and are paired with adult mentors. They learn how core academic subjects such as math are important to fields like video game design, said Kellie James, who coordinates the academy.
Most students want to go to college, but those who don't are encouraged to attend a technical school or pursue a career directly out of high school if that's a better fit, James said. Fewer teachers per student, made possible by the extra funding, allow for a better understanding of students' needs, she said.
Each of the six academy teachers counsels and closely monitors the grades and attendance of about 20 students for the three years they are in the program, providing intense individual attention, James said. Academy classes typically have 25 students, compared with the maximum of 30 in the rest of the school, she said.
Dakota Rogers, 18, said he was planning to drop out of school after his freshman year when he heard about the academy and how it is geared toward job preparation. Rogers, who is planning to go to culinary school, had been bored and unmotivated in class. He now enjoys school, even subjects like English that he used to hate.
"Me being in the academy made me realize how school is important and worth the effort," Rogers said. "They kept telling me that I need to stay in school."
At San Bernardino City Unified School District, officials work to reintegrate expelled students into schools, said Ray Culberson, director of youth services for the district. A decade ago, no students expelled in ninth grade graduated high school. Now more than half do, Culberson said.
The district, like others, has special programs so students behind in credits can catch up through online, after-school and special in-school instruction, and through independent study. Anger management classes and drug counseling are offered.
In Riverside County, the Come Back Kids program guides young dropouts toward diplomas.
Students complete most assignments at home. Once a week, a group of three or four students spends a few hours with a teacher to get one-on-one instruction and feedback. A $6.8 million federal grant helps fund the program.
The individual attention is crucial because many participants did not receive enough in school, said Debra Sacks, who oversees the program for the Riverside County Office of Education. Others left school because of bullying.
Inside a Moreno Valley Come Back Kids classroom on a recent morning, Yolanda Mata, 40, who dropped out of school two decades ago, watched daughter Susana,18, do her homework.
A key predictor of whether a student will drop out is parents' educational level. Yolanda Mata said her Mexican immigrant mother didn't enroll her in school until the fifth grade.
"My mom dropped out when she was in the third grade," Mata said. "I guess for her, education wasn't important. I wish my mom was more involved in my education. I could have been a professional."
Mata said she remained behind her classmates until she left school in her sophomore year of high school.
Mata has spent most of her adult life cleaning houses until she got laid off in February. The family can stay in their home only because Mata's husband, with whom she is in divorce proceedings, contributes money for the mortgage.
"I see people around my age and they have better lives than me — people who got a full education," Mata said. "They have nice cars, take their kids out. They're somebody."
Mata said she constantly tells her children to look at their neighbor, a well-paid nurse, as an example of what an education will bring.
Susana said she was doing well at Canyon Springs High School in Moreno Valley until her sophomore year, when she joined friends who were ditching school. She fell behind and couldn't catch up with classmates. Susana said she is more motivated in Come Back Kids because she has her own teacher who can explain material better and makes sure she understands it.
Susana's brother, Alex, 14, didn't want to go to high school this fall, and Mata wanted to enroll him in Come Back Kids. He's too young, so he instead is starting an independent study program.
Alex's grades began falling about two years ago, when his parents separated. As tears fell down Alex's face, he recalled how he couldn't concentrate in class because he kept thinking about the separation.
His school put him in special extracurricular classes for children with academic problems. He liked two of his teachers, who not only were better instructors but also asked him about his family problems. He said he didn't learn much in the other two classes, whose teachers he said regularly lost control of classes and never queried him about his personal troubles.
"They didn't care what was going on," Alex said.
Sacks said teachers who show they care for students are more likely to get through to them — and keep them in school.
"When you have students at high risk," Sacks said, "it takes a lot of adult mentors to complete the puzzle."

Cambridge police are urging drinks shops not to serve two men who have been handed alcohol-related ASBOs. Magistrates gave Paul Longhurst, of Victoria Road, a two-year order banning him from being drunk in public in the city, while Brian Cook, of Cameron Road, is barred from drinking alcohol in public or entering licensed premises in the Cambridge area. Sgt Kay Stevens, of Cambridge police, said: "To help both Paul and Brian comply with the order, we would urge licensees and off-licence stores not to sell them alcohol."
Headlock robbers hunted
A female shop assistant was held in a headlock by a robber while his accomplice raided the till. The raid at Threshers in Lindfield, East Sussex, on May 17 saw the pair escape with more than £100 in cash. Police are linking the incident to another the previous day in which two men stole £100 from an off-licence in Hassocks after demanding the safe key from a shop worker.
Double clampdown
Two drinks shops on the same street in Manchester have been stripped of their licences to sell alcohol. Manchester City Council's licensing sub-committee revoked the licence at Bakr 101 in the Lightbowne area of the city for selling alcohol to children. The committee did the same to Coyote 1 following complaints by residents.
Woman fined for proxy buy
Bolton police fined a woman for buying alcohol for teenagers as part of a major crackdown on anti-social behaviour over the bank holiday weekend. The woman was given a fixed penalty notice for £80 when officers spotted her actions. Police also used a mobile camera to capture footage of gangs of young people who residents say have created chaos. Officers stopped 63 youngsters and arrested 12.
Tobacco ban
A retailer in Lancashire has been banned from selling tobacco after he was caught selling cigarettes he had not paid duty on. Trading Standards officers found 5,600 packets of brand-name cigarettes and tobacco at Qamar Zaman's off-licence in Padiham after a customer tipped them off. Zaman was banned and ordered to pay the £2,108 duty owed as well as £250 costs at Burnley Magistrates' Court.

New Delhi: After the government failed to include the traditional stream of medicines in the Drugs and Cosmetics (amendment) Bill, 2013, it is now mulling a separate legislation to regulate systems such as ayurveda and homeopathy.
According to official sources, the department of AYUSH, which administers development of ayurveda, yoga & naturopathy, unani, siddha and homoeopathy, has been asked to formulate the first draft of the Bill. The idea is to monitor manufacturing and sale of such medicines in the country, while also promoting them in global markets.
"This is a separate stream of medicines and is increasingly becoming popular not just in India but across the globe. It is, therefore, essential to govern the industry involved in promoting these systems," an official said.
Initially, the regulations were to be part of the Drugs and Cosmetics (amendment) Bill, 2013, which was introduced in the Rajya Sabha recently. However, though the Bill contains a separate chapter for regulatory provisions for medical devices and for regulating clinical trials and export of drugs and cosmetics, it excluded all provisions with regard to ayush medicines.
"Considering the significance and growth of the Ayush sector, we have decided that it needs a separate legislation. It is not right to monitor them with the same set of rules as for chemical-based products. The mechanism is different for the ayush system of medicines and therefore, the regulatory framework should also be framed accordingly," the official said.
The Bill might also create a separate regulator for ayush medicines. Currently, all medicines in the country are regulated by the Drugs Controller General of India, which is a Central authority.
A separate legislation would mean stringent check for all ayush medicines sold in the country. In the absence of a proper legislation, currently these streams are not regulated and all kind of products are freely available in the country. The Central regulator also does not have the wherewithal and resources to monitor ayush medicines.
According to industry estimates, the market for ayush is pegged at over Rs 9,000 crore including drugs, over-the-counter and wellness products, treatment and herbal extracts and it has been growing at 20 per cent year-on-year. Ayurveda alone accounts for Rs 5,000 crore of annual sales. Export of these products jumped from Rs 617.87 crore in 2005-06 to Rs 1,335.01 crore in 2009-10 and is expected to reach Rs 16,250 crore in 2014. Major export markets for ayush include Europe, the US, Japan and Southeast Asia.

I've been hurt so many times by guys and when I started dating the boyfriend I had treated me so badly he made me feel so worthless and told me how no guy will like me because of my looks and weight. I finally broke up with him ( it took me a year ) and it started back up again guys pretending to like me just so they can have sex and when I tell them I'm not interested the next day they stop talking to me ( but I'm not bothered but happy ) I finally meet someone and everyone thought he was in love with me because he use to always hold me and acts so happy when I'm around him, I told him how I felt and he said he wasn't attracted to me. So now I really have a hard time now and my friend made me feel like I'm a bad guy just because I don't think his bestfriend likes me.

Trusting people is one of the most challenging tasks that people face. Trust needs to be earned, not given away freely. Once a person earns your trust then you have to try not to judge them by other people's past behaviour towards you , because if you do... you'd be missing out on any great potential relationships/friendships
Trusting someone is your decision, but proving you right is theirs. So if it turns out your trust is misplaced then that would be a reflection of their character... not yours
I will try to do that and maybe that's why my friend got upset because I sorta put his bestfriend in the category of someone I can't trust, I honestly didn't mean to though, I know his bestfriend he knows how to contact me but he never talk to me, unless I start the conversation and it's never a long one, so I guess when he asked if I liked his bestfriend I sorted panicked when he was getting excited, maybe he knows something I should of asked instead but I didn't want to try because I was afraid. If he told me himself I would of gave him a try.
Thanks for the MHO
You're welcome

Contemporary Management of Critical Limb IschemiaThe BEST Is Yet to Come

Dr. John R. Laird, UC Davis Medical Center, 4860 Y Street, Suite 3400, Sacramento, California 95817.
Critical limb ischemia (CLI), defined as ischemic rest pain or the presence of a nonhealing arterial ulcer or gangrene, is the most advanced and debilitating form of peripheral artery disease (PAD). An estimated 10% of patients with PAD progress to CLI within 5 years, with the annual incidence of CLI ranging between 500 and 1,000 new cases per 1 million individuals (1). Within 3 months from the time of diagnosis, 9% of CLI patients will die and 12% will require major amputation. One- and 2-year mortality rates of 21% and 31.6% have been reported (1). Collectively, CLI substantially affects patient quality of life and exerts a substantial economic burden to the overall health care system (1,2).
While optimal medical therapy is crucial for minimizing cardiovascular events in patients with CLI, revascularization remains the cornerstone of therapy for limb preservation and prevention of major amputation. For decades, surgical bypass has been the primary mode of revascularization in patients with CLI. However, many patients with CLI have inadequate target vessels for bypass or lack adequate venous conduit, thereby potentially reducing the benefit of this mode of revascularization (3,4). The safety of surgical revascularization is also often limited by extensive patient comorbidities. Over the past 2 decades, endovascular approaches have therefore been increasingly used for patients with CLI (5). Collectively, we have observed the development of innovative techniques for the endovascular revascularization of patients with CLI, including new devices, creative approaches (pedal/tibial access), chronic total occlusion recanalization, angiosome-guided revascularization, and distal interventions into and through the pedal arch (6,7). These advances have substantially expanded the endovascular options for the treatment of complex infrainguinal occlusive disease and improved our ability to achieve straight-line blood flow to the foot to maximize the likelihood of limb salvage.
The expanding role of endovascular interventions for CLI has raised questions regarding the best initial approach to the revascularization of CLI patients. While many have adopted the "endovascular first" strategy, questions persist regarding the effectiveness and durability of endovascular therapies. To date, the BASIL (Bypass Versus Angioplasty in Severe Ischaemia of the Leg) study remains the only completed randomized clinical trial directly comparing angioplasty with surgical bypass for CLI (8). The BASIL study demonstrated that surgical revascularization was associated with higher rates of post-operative morbidity and mortality, greater hospital length of stay, and greater initial costs compared to endovascular therapy. Conversely, in a post hoc analysis after 2 years, there was improved amputation-free survival with surgical revascularization. This finding has led to the view that surgical bypass may be preferred in patients with CLI and a life expectancy greater than 2 years. It is important to remember, however, that the BASIL study compared only balloon angioplasty with surgical bypass and was completed prior to the development of many of the endovascular devices and techniques currently being used. Over the past decade, newer endovascular treatment strategies have provided higher procedural success rates, more complete revascularization, improved patency, and potentially improved amputation-free survival compared to balloon angioplasty alone (5,9–11).
Many of the unanswered questions regarding the optimal approach to CLI are being addressed by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute–sponsored, multicenter, randomized BEST-CLI (Best Endovascular vs. Best Surgical Therapy in Patients with Critical Limb Ischemia) trial (12). This ongoing trial is designed to compare treatment efficacy, functional outcomes, and cost in patients with CLI and infrainguinal PAD undergoing best open surgical or best endovascular revascularization. A total of 2,100 patients at 120 sites in the United States and Canada will be enrolled and randomized between surgical or endovascular therapy and followed for a minimum of 2 years after revascularization. All currently available endovascular therapies and all surgical bypass techniques and conduits will be allowed.
The BEST-CLI trial will hopefully be completed in 2017. Until that time, clinicians will continue to rely on the best available data to guide revascularization strategies for the management of CLI. Meaningful observational data has been forthcoming from large national databases (e.g., National Inpatient Sample, National Hospital Discharge Survey, Medicare Database). These large databases ("Big Data") provide an important global picture of current treatment modalities and practice patterns as well as trends in clinical outcomes. Since 2006, there have been several Big Data analyses evaluating national trends in the management of patients with symptomatic PAD (13–17). Irrespective of the source, a consistent pattern has emerged with regard to the treatment and outcomes of patients admitted with symptomatic PAD. Amputation rates and overall mortality continue to decline, in association with a drop in the number of open surgical procedures and a rise in the number of endovascular procedures. Collectively, these studies report a 2- to 3-fold increase in endovascular procedures, a 35% to 67% reduction in open procedures, and a 27% to 38% reduction in major amputations (14–16).
In this issue of the Journal, Agarwal et al. (18) add to our understanding regarding outcomes of surgical and endovascular procedures for CLI from an analysis of 642,433 CLI hospitalizations from the National Inpatient Sample (2003 to 2011). Consistent with prior investigations, the authors demonstrated a significant reduction in the proportion of patients undergoing surgical revascularization (13.9% in 2008 to 8.8% in 2011) with a concomitant rise in endovascular revascularization during the same time period (5.1% to 11.0%). This was accompanied by a steady decline in the incidence of in-hospital mortality and major amputation. Endovascular therapy was associated with a shorter mean length of stay and reduced hospital costs, despite a similar rate of in-hospital major amputation. As the authors correctly point out, the decreasing amputation and mortality rates cannot be directly attributable to a rise in endovascular therapy, as these studies cannot provide causal conclusions. Numerous other factors can influence mortality and amputation rates, including better medical care, aggressive risk factor modification, and appropriate wound care (19,20). Still, these associations are powerful, hypothesis generating, and warrant further investigation.
Practitioners should be encouraged by the findings of the current investigation. Our patients are benefiting from the modern management of CLI. Mortality and major amputation rates are decreasing and more patients can be treated with minimally invasive endovascular procedures. Interventional devices and techniques continue to advance at a rapid pace. Whether the improving CLI outcomes can be explained by the growth of these endovascular therapies is yet to be proven. We await the results of the landmark BEST-CLI trial to provide clarity regarding this issue and to further clarify the future role of surgical versus endovascular revascularization. Regardless of the outcome, there is cause for optimism and an awareness that the BEST is yet to come.
