Legal Lines with Locke Meredith
Show #132, Guest: Loren Scott
Attorney Locke Meredith interviews economist, Dr. Loren Scott, and discusses the economy in Baton Rouge.
Dr. Loren Scott is a Professor Emeritus in Economics at LSU. Dr. Scott got his PHD in economics in 1969, after which he came to LSU and taught there for thirty years. He taught in the MBA programs primarily, served for 13 years as chairman of the Economics Department, and has also been studying the Louisiana economy very intensely for the past thirty years. He started a consulting firm in the eighties, which has been doing consulting for big companies like Exxon and Chesapeake Energy, he does the Louisiana economic outlook forecast, and also travels all over the nation giving speeches on the state of the economy. Dr. Scott has been quoted or hosted on MSNBC, CNBC, Wall Street Journal, and many other major forms of media.
Dr. Scott explains what he is concerned about in his study of the economy. He primarily is concerned with forecasting levels of economic growth such as job growth, income growth, Gross National Product, employment. He spends a lot of time talking to individuals who run companies, executives around the state, and other officials to find out what is going on in Louisiana. With his economic analysis, Dr. Scott tries to tell people how well their area of the state is doing, and what they can expect over the next two years. On a national level, Dr. Scott gives speeches to try to explain why we are in this funk, nationally, the reasons he believes we are in this recession. Dr. Scott points out that, since Franklin Roosevelt, no President has ever been re-elected with an unemployment rate above 7.2%, thus it makes sense that President Obama is so concerned with this.
Dr. Scott explains that as residents of a state with such a huge chemical industry, we ought to be quite concerned with the state of the national economy. Cars and houses are both, he says, mostly made up of chemicals. If the national economy is in a poor state, there are fewer buyers for our products, as a state, which puts us in a bind. However, thanks to very few durable goods manufacturing plants in Louisiana, we are able to buffer a national recession better than others like Michigan. Louisiana lost only 2.8% of our jobs when the nation lost 6.1%. One of Louisiana's main exports is chemicals, of which we are number three in the nation. The reason for this, Dr. Scott explains, is the cheap cost of natural gas in Louisiana, which chemical plants depend heavily upon. Another export of Louisiana is oil, of which we are the number one producer in the nation if you include our offshore drilling. We are also the number three producer of natural gas in the nation. Louisiana also has a huge shipbuilding industry. However, the closing of Avondale Shipyard in New Orleans in 2013 will put a dent in this. This will result in a loss of 4,500 jobs. Avondale is now moving to Pascagoula where they have another shipyard. Louisiana also exports their agriculture, but despite common belief, this only makes up 2% of our income.
On a Federal level, Dr. Scott is seeing our current economy as one that looks comparable to the recessions of 1980 and 1981, however instead of coming out of this recession with a huge surge, as was the case with these two, we are limping out slowly. Gross Domestic Product is the indicator of this, which is currently growing at less than 2% a year. Over regulation is to blame for this, says Dr. Scott. In these previous recessions in the 1980's, President Ronald Reagan deregulated the economy and dropped tax rates from 50% down to 28%. "We are regulating the skunk out of our economy," says Dr. Scott. This is the kind of regulation that is causing our offshore drill ships to leave Louisiana and go to other countries. This over regulation is also hindering the building of the Canadian pipeline across America. To those who believe this pipeline with contaminate their aquifers, Dr. Scott explains that Louisiana has enough pipelines in it to go around the world five times, yet we have never had a single problem with them.
Dr. Scott explains that any basic economics textbook will show you that we need to lower taxes to boost our economy. Raising taxes to boost the economy, he explains is used to try to either create jobs or to redistribute wealth. He points to Europe as an example as to what happens when you try to level the playing field and redistribute the wealth, noting their characteristically high unemployment and slow growth. Government mandated programs, Dr. Scott explains, lack incentive that private sector companies have. Furthermore, he dives into the issue of how to help those who are less fortunate in your society without reducing their incentives to work, thus creating idleness.
In Baton Rouge, Dr. Scott talks about the huge growth in the chemical industry, which is good for our local economy. Also, he talks about the discovery of the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale, which he believes will result in lots of growth for our Louisiana and Baton Rouge economies due to everything from more heavy rigs moving in to royalty and lease payments to our residents. Other local developments include a new riverboat casino, a new polymer plant in Port Allen, and some new plants in Ascension Parish. State Government, however, is something that we do need to be concerned about, in the form of layoffs due to their limited budget, he says. Overall both Baton Rouge and Lake Charles are in good economic positions, while New Orleans, Dr. Scott believes is facing some slow growth over the next few years. The show comes to a close.

10 Facts About Whiplash in Nebraska
Whiplash is the single most common type of injury reported following a car accident. Nearly two-thirds of all bodily injury legal claims caused by car accidents are whiplash related. Each year in the United States, over three million new cases of whiplash occur. Chances are that you already know someone who has chronic neck pain because of a whiplash injury, as 1% of all Nebraska drivers suffer from such a condition. Despite how common this specific class of injury is, people continue to struggle with fully grasping the nature of whiplash and often underestimate what it takes to fully recover.
Below is all you need to know if you have suffered a whiplash injury in Nebraska:
#10 Whiplash is Not Limited to Car Accidents
Car accidents are by far the leading cause of whiplash injuries, however, there are other ways the injury can occur. Contact sports, such as football, soccer, or boxing, have caused their fair share of whiplash cases. A similar risk exists in activities where hard falls occur like skiing, skateboarding, or gymnastics. A diagnosis of whiplash by doctors is common in instances of particularly nasty slip and falls incidents. Any sudden, violent movement to the upper body can potentially result in a whiplash injury.
#9 Minor Car Accidents Can Still Cause Whiplash
It would be easy to assume that car accidents with heavier damage are more likely to cause whiplash, however, experience tells a different story. The angle of the impact and several other factors play a significant role in determining whether you will receive a whiplash injury. Car damage alone is an unreliable measure. The average speed of a vehicle involved in an accident that results in a whiplash injury is only 12-mph. Even speeds as low as 5-mph can commonly result in a case of whiplash. A car moving 8-mph colliding with a stationary vehicle transfers upwards of 5 G-force of acceleration to the head of the other driver. The force of the impact transfers to the body of the victim in a split-second. The resulting violent motion to the head and upper body causes the injury long before the driver has a chance to react and brace for impact.
#8 Surprising Factors That Put You at Risk for Whiplash
Managing risk is something everyone does day in and day out, even if they don't think about it. Buckle up, look both ways before crossing, and not running with scissors are good examples of everyday risk management. However, some factors are beyond your control or simply not on your radar. Women, tall people, and those over the age of thirty are more likely be likely to suffer significant adverse symptoms after a whiplash event.
Women are 3x more likely to suffer from whiplash as men. A recent Swedish study found three factors contribute to this sizable disparity. Physically, women tend to have a bit less mass to the muscles in their upper body and neck. Having less muscle mass in this key area makes them more susceptible to injury from whiplash. They also found that female drivers tend to own lighter, smaller vehicles, and sit more upright and nearer to the steering wheel. Both factors can cause whiplash injuries to be more severe.
People who are both tall and thin, lack muscle mass in the upper body making them susceptible to an injury from whiplash. As we age, we begin to lose flexibility in our joints, cartilage, and vertebrae, leaving us more prone for injury when something traumatic occurs.
One more key factor to be aware of is the proper use of the protective gear in a vehicle. The correct position of the head rest is within two inches of the back of your head. Additionally, check to make sure it is not sitting too low, as either of these positions can increase the severity of the damage from a whiplash injury. The single most vital piece of safety equipment in a car is still the seatbelt. Faithful use of the seatbelt and properly adjusted shoulder restraint help mitigate injuries from a car accident, this includes whiplash.
#7 Whiplash-Associative Disorder is the Clinical Term
People commonly use the term 'whiplash' indiscriminately for both the medical condition and the violent action giving rise to the injury. Technically, whiplash describes the violent incident that causes an injury. The medical term for the collective of symptoms from the injury is actually known as whiplash-associative disorder.
There is a little bit of a medical mystery as to exactly how some of the symptoms in whiplash-associative disorder are related to the injury. Muscle pain from receiving a strain in the area is easy enough to draw a direct correlation to the whiplash incident. However, a wide variety of common symptoms defy easy explanation as to exactly how and why they are related to the injury.
#6 Neck-Collar Use Limited
The classic neck-collar at one time was the preferred method of treating whiplash. Improvements in science have fundamentally altered the understanding of whiplash-associative disorder. This new knowledge has changed the way medical professionals treat whiplash, specifically in regards to the use of the neck-collar.
Modern treatment of whiplash victims limit the use of the neck-collar to only a few days for most cases. Longer use is known to increase the risk of long term or chronic symptoms. A better plan than immobilizing the neck is to seek out a chiropractor and start physical therapy right away. A chiropractor who specializes in treating whiplash can help alleviate pain, restore range of movement, and get you back on your feet again.
#5 Developing Chronic Symptoms is a Serious Risk
Many injuries come with the possibility of developing chronic symptoms. Most whiplash victims show improvement in just a few weeks. However, over half of all whiplash patients develop symptoms that end up being long-term or chronic. Early identification of which cases are likely to develop chronic or prolonged symptoms is problematic. Neither the seriousness of the car accident, nor the severity of the injury is a good indicator of which cases will develop chronic symptoms.
Even whiplash victims who fully recover will suffer with a significantly increased chance of developing periodic bouts of neck and shoulder pain for the rest of their life. Reports hold that around 45% of all chronic neck pain is a direct result of a whiplash related injury.
#4 Missed Work Due to Whiplash
The amount of time you miss from work to recover from whiplash is dependent on several factors. How serious your individual injury is and how fast you can recover is obviously a major factor. The nature of your work and how strenuous it is can have an impact as well. Nebraska drivers who receive a diagnosis of whiplash-associative disorder after a car accident on average miss around 8 weeks of work. One in fourteen people with whiplash do not end up returning to the same job as they had pre-accident. Collaborating with your doctor or chiropractor is the most reliable manner of figuring out what timeframe for returning to work is best for your individual case. Your employer's willingness to accommodate temporary or permanent changes to your ability certainly plays a factor as to when you can comfortably return to work.
#3 Too Much Rest Can Be Harmful
The age-old adage of get lots of rest and take it easy following an injury, unfortunately, runs contrary to modern treatments for whiplash victims. Excessive rest for a whiplash injury quickly becomes too much of a good thing. Doctors have a catchy slogan for the effect: rest equals rust. More than a few days of rest dramatically increases your chances of having symptoms persist or become chronic. Chiropractic treatment at an early stage has proven beneficial in getting patients back on their feet. A medical study in Canada from 1988 of over 10,000 whiplash cases concluded that chiropractic adjustment is one of the only proven treatments. The study found that conventional treatments like immobilization, muscle relaxers, and patient rest were not especially effective.
#2 Nebraska Chiropractic Treatment for Whiplash
Professional chiropractors are helpful in devising a personalized treatment plan of physical therapy to focus on your specific injuries. Modern chiropractors have a variety of techniques to aid you in restoring range of movement, reducing pain, and helping you get back on your feet.
Gentle targeted stretching of the tight areas helps relax the muscles and ligaments. Manipulation of the spine or affected joints by a combination of short thrusts or slow mobilizing movements are helpful in improving range of movement. Finger pressure applied to trigger points help to relieve pain. Muscle stimulation via Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a modern tool commonly used to help the muscles heal. Robin McKenzie, a New Zealand physical therapist, developed a series of exercises specifically for the patient to use at home. This well-known regimen bearing his name is an effective and popular choice with chiropractors to help patients build strength and flexibility outside of office visits. Stabilization and sensorimotor exercises help correct faulty movement patterns in daily routines and develop healthier coordinated movement patterns. Chiropractors offer expert advice on ergonomic and lifestyle changes to support your full recovery.
#1 Possible Whiplash Side Effects and Symptoms
Pain in the neck and shoulders is, of course, quite common for whiplash victims. But a lengthy list of other symptoms can also be related. Compounding matters is the fact that the full range of symptoms can take days, weeks, or even months to fully manifest. Prompt medical attention after the accident is vital to help minimize chances of developing more serious symptoms. Headaches, dizziness, and balance problems can, also, develop. Stiffness in the neck, back, and shoulders is quite common. Muscle or ligament damage from sprains or tears can occur. Burning, numbness, tingling or other abnormal sensations in the arms, hands, and shoulders occur regularly. Cognitive or psychological conditions bring memory loss, difficulty concentrating, depression, sleep disturbance, fatigue, nervousness, or irritability. This dizzying array of potential symptoms is part of what makes litigating and negotiating a settlement for a whiplash injury more complex than other types of injury.

RTLS: Enhanced Social Distancing and Safer Work Environments
As the Covid-19 pandemic continues with no end in sight, businesses of all types are looking for ways to get back to work while prioritizing the safety and wellbeing of their workers.
Some precautions are simple enough to implement, like improved sanitation and staggered schedules. Other approaches, like social distancing, bring challenges that most businesses have never had to contend with. Humans are not accustomed to keeping distance from one another and most workplaces aren't set up for it. As we return to public life and workplaces, we will need to relearn how to interact with each other and manage teams in a new reality in order to stay safe.
Real-time location systems (RTLS) that can be worn by workers as pins or badges are a powerful tool that can make all the difference in the success of workplace social distancing, whether in an office or a construction site.
While some wearable technologies offer backward-looking data on worker's interactions and movements throughout the day, RTLS gives up-to-the-second data, including proximity, that allows businesses to set safety protocols and receive up-to-the-second alerts on when they have been broken. Additionally, these devices can adapt to changing conditions and regulations, allowing users to set different parameters, and scale their systems up or down as needed.
Imagine a construction site with dozens of workers all serving different functions. Each person knows their own job, but adhering to social distancing without understanding who else is moving around the site is all but impossible without the aid of technology. RTLS can credential workers as they enter the site each day, giving management an exact picture of who is coming in, and where they are supposed to be.
Throughout the workday, RTLS wearables allow workers to better adhere to social distancing guidelines by tracking their proximity to others and vibrating or beeping when they get too close. Using RTLS anchors, management can assign workgroups and geofence restricted areas, warning workers and alerting management if they've breached protocol. Having the full picture of who has been on-site, where they went and who they interacted with is critical in preventing the spread of infection, and in tracking the contacts of any workers who may become ill.
RTLS gathers info that illuminates trends across a worksite. This kind of data provides critical insights that can guide better, more impactful decision making. For instance, in a factory setting, a supervisor can see that workers are bottlenecking in a certain part of the production line so they reconfigure machinery to allow for safer distancing. In an office setting, a manager can see that people are going through a restricted area to exit so they sanitize the area, and discuss it with their team. At a warehouse, managers can see that too many people are working at a certain time, creating crowding, so they make changes to their schedule and staffing levels. Armed with this data, leaders can evolve their protocols and approaches depending on current conditions, leading to much safer work environments in all types of industries.
Social distancing and Covid-19 protocols are just two of the ways RTLS technology will redefine the future of the workplace. When the pandemic eventually ends, RTLS will still be there, supplying powerful data to leaders and organizations as they streamline workflows, manage robots, guide workers, make workplaces more secure, and much more.

ISBN 9781942695127 | Ebook | $35.00
December 2018

George Mason University Press titles are distributed by the University of Virginia Press.
"This vibrant, insightful volume sheds new light on dialogue processes that serve as the DNA of peacebuilding, and help bridge the chasms of deeply divided societies. The book is especially groundbreaking in its focus on the links between "inner peace," including dynamics such as compassion and dignity, and broad social change. It is this constant interplay between transformation of the self and transformation of society that gives dialogue its tensile strength, and the authors capture these dynamics compellingly. In an increasingly polarized world, this book offers hope, and a reflection on how we can change society, and ourselves."
—Melanie Greenberg, former Chief Executive Officer of the Alliance for Peacebuilding, and current Managing Director for Peacebuilding of Humanity United
"This set of chapters on the use of dialogue in peacebuilding is powerfully informative and beautifully written. Engaging in dialogue is challenging work, and this fine book provides substantial help."
—Nel Noddings, Lee L. Jacks Professor of Education, Emerita, at Stanford University, and author, Caring: A Feminine Approach to Ethics and Moral Education and Peace Education: How We Come to Love and Hate War
"Editor Peter Stearns has done a splendid job of putting together a volume that looks at the significant role of dialogue in delivering peaceful outcomes in a wide range of contexts and scenarios. This edition utilizes a range of interdisciplinary lenses in covering dialogue in education, interpersonal and personal transformation, and conflict resolution…I recommend this book to anyone interested in and learning more about the role of dialogue in delivering peace. It is thoughtfully put together and lives up to its title…It is relevant for everything from managing heated discussions or sharing trauma to processes on community building and international relations."
—Wim Laven, Instructor of Political Science, Kennesaw State University
This volume examines the many dimensions of dialogue as a key driver of peaceful personal and social change. While most people agree on the value of dialogue, few delve into its meaning or consider its full range. The essays collected here consider dialogue in the context of teaching and learning, personal and interpersonal growth, and in conflict resolution and other situations of great change. Through these three themes, contributors from a wide variety of perspectives consider the different forms dialogue takes, the goals of the various forms, and which forms have been most successful or most challenging. With its expansive approach, the book makes an original contribution to peace studies, civic studies, education studies, organizational studies, conflict resolution studies, and dignity studies.

The Wedge has wedged its way back into Kelowna council chambers.
The uniquely-shaped — and aptly named — six-storey office building proposed at the corner of Leon Avenue and Water Street initially came to council in March — not receiving city staff's support.
That was mainly due to issues surrounding the site's inability to contain 10 parking stalls as required in the area's zoning and the applicant's unwillingness to pay cash-in-lieu for not having those spaces. The cash-in-lieu of parking bylaw would've seen $330,000 paid to the city, which would make the development financially impractical, according to the applicant.
Council deferred its decision to allow the applicant more time to work with city staff towards a solution regarding the development's parking stall issues.
This time around, the application is set to go to council with staff support.
The proposal would still see no on-site parking, but due to council's suggestion of compromise, the applicant would pay cash-in-lieu on three stalls, totalling $99,000, and a variance will be issued for the other seven.
Besides parking, several other variances would also be needed for the proposal to go ahead, including three variances related to the property's setback, one related to a lack of short-term bicycle parking and one to reduce the minimum commercial frontage below the 90 per cent required.
The building would consist of one or two retail tenants on the first floor — the report mentions a bar, cafe or restaurant as a likely option — upper floor offices and a common rooftop patio.
Despite the small building footprint and the small total building area, the applicant has included a bike storage room for 13 long-term bike stalls on the ground floor to encourage active transportation. Washrooms, change rooms, lockers, and showers would be available alongside those stalls.

Mormon books
The official, canonical scriptures of the Church, namely
- The Holy Bible
- The Book of Mormon—Another Testament of Jesus Christ
- The Doctrine and Covenants
- The Pearl of Great Price
These four volumes are sometimes collectively referred to as "the Standard Works" or simply "the Scriptures." In Latter-day Saint usage, this goes beyond the usual sense of "a work of recognized excellence" and is actually equivalent to "the official, canonical scriptures of the Church."
The Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price are shorter books than the Bible, so they are often combined and bound together in one book, which members of the Church call the "triple combination." Editions of the scriptures can also be purchased in one large book with the Bible (both Old and New Testaments) included. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ have nicknamed this the "quad," or "quadruple combination."
The second class of books includes:
Procedural handbooks and lesson manuals. These contain curriculum materials for classes taught in Church meetings, materials to assist families, and instructions and policy guidelines to Church leaders. These are "official" in the ordinary sense, but do not rise to the status of scripture.
Both of these book categories are available online at the Church website and on the Church's app.
In addition to these, there are books of various kinds written by individual Church members for the edification of other Latter-day Saints. While there is no formal system of classification for these, most would fall into one or more of the following broad categories:
- Doctrinal: works expounding doctrine or providing scriptural commentary.
- Historical: works describing events in Mormon history or (less commonly) general history that is of interest to Latter-day Saints.
- Devotional: works intended to assist Latter-day Saints in personal or family worship, or to cope with grief or stressful life events.
- Recreational: light fiction featuring Latter-day Saint themes or characters.
Additionally, books by non—Latter-day Saints about the Church may be described as "Mormon books." While a few valuable scholarly works do emerge from time to time, many or most of these books are controversial in nature, and are more properly described as "anti-Mormon books."
The Bible in the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ
As noted above, the Bible is one of the Church's "Standard Works," or canonical volumes. As such, it is scripture, and its contents are considered doctrinally binding upon the Church.
The Bible used by the Church throughout the English-speaking world is the King James Version (KJV). It is used in its entirety, both the Old and New Testaments. The Church does not use the Apocrypha, though latter-day prophets have noted that there is much in the Apocrypha that is of value for study. In 1980, the Church published its own edition of the KJV with new footnotes and cross references to the other Standard Works, as well as a new concordance-style index called the Topical Guide, a Bible Dictionary, a Guide to the Scriptures, a Reference Guide to the Holy Bible, and some excerpts from the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible. No changes were made by the Church to the body of the King James Version. Note that the Church does not subscribe to any "King James only" ideology, and Church members and scholars are entirely free to consult other translations, or to read them in the original or other languages if they so choose, in the course of their scripture study.
One of the Church's Articles of Faith states, "We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly." While the Church's critics frequently accuse the Latter-day Saints of using this as some kind of all-purpose escape clause, the reality is that it merely acknowledges the transmission problems and translation errors that current editions of the Bible have.

Bach Crab Apple 20ml
The original Bach Flower Remedies is a system of 38 Flower Remedies that corrects emotional imbalances: negative emotions are replaced with positive.
The Bach Flower Remedies are 100% safe and natural and work in conjunction with herbs, homeopathy and medications.
"This is the remedy of cleansing. For those who feel as if they have something not quite clean about themselves. Often it is something of apparently little importance: in others there may be more serious disease which is almost disregarded compared to the one thing on which they concentrate. In both types they are anxious to be free from the one particular thing which is greatest in their minds and which seems so essential to them that it should be cured. They become despondent if treatment fails. Being a cleanser, this remedy purifies wounds if the patient has reason to believe that some poison has entered which must be drawn out." - Dr. Edward Bach

Mother's Day
Mother's day is all about honouring the woman that brought you into this world, the woman who raised you and showed you unconditional maternal love. Because of this, you will want to give your mum a unique and special gift that she will treasure and love. If you look through home and garden gifts you will find a gift that has more significance than the usual chocolate and flower combination.
After your mother has given herself to raise you, it's time to reciprocate that sentiment and get her a truly original gift that will make your mother feel a million dollars. All of the gifts on the site have been carefully selected to ensure they are of the highest quality and fashion, which in turn makes them perfect for putting a smile on the face of your fantastic mum. There are items for a budget, which will make great mother's day gifts for students, and there are more executive products for a mother that needs spoiling.
Make mother's day extra special this year with oneof these carefully selected mother's day gifts, and indulge in a holiday that was created in 1908, but an idea that has been practiced by religious believers for well over a millennia, dating back to occasions that were common in the Greek, Roman and Egyptian calenders.

We have just been doing some travel planning and that set me thinking, once again, about my relationship to modern modes of travel.
One of my early heroes was Ivan Illich, who died in 2002 at 76 (the age I am now). I was lucky enough to meet and converse with him at one point in my life and it is to him that I owe many of my ideas about simple and sustainable lifestyles.
|Illich, as he was when I met him
Illich was famous for pointing out that in many areas of human so-called 'progress' there comes an optimum moment in time beyond which the trajectory reverses and whatever-it-is, instead of assisting us, starts at best to lose its potential for improving our lives and worst to cause us harm, either as individuals or as a species.
This turning point has often come much earlier than we thought (and is almost always unnoticed). For example, as Illich pointed out in his 1970s essay, "Energy and Equity," so much human energy is used up in the production and ownership of cars that they can be shown to be far less energy-efficient than bicycles. Bicycles, he said, were the really great breakthrough. All increases in speed beyond that have ended up actually being counter-productive—not to mention being damaging to the planet's ecosystems.
"Man, unaided by any tools, gets around quite efficiently, and is more thermodynamically efficient than any machine and most animals." said Illich. "Man on a bicycle can go three to four times faster than a pedestrian, but uses five times less energy in the process. The bicycle is the perfect transducer to match man's metabolic energy to the impedance of locomotion. Equipped with this tool, man outstrips the efficiency of not only all machines but all other animals, as well."
When I lived in town I used to ride my bicycle a lot. I rode it to work and back (on the days when I didn't walk) and I used it for all my shopping trips. The only reason that I don't use it now is that these days I live in a very hilly place and have to spend so much time pushing my bike uphill that it is easier and more comfortable simply to walk.
But whether walking or cycling, travelling at slow speeds keeps us in contact with the world around us in a way that car travel never can. Cars encapsulate us in little, fast-moving bubbles that somehow seem to create a barrier between our bodies and the environment through which we are moving. Of course, buses and trains, too, whisk us around at far beyond bicycle speed, but for some reason that I haven't yet quite worked out I always feel much more comfortable on a bus or a train than I do in a car. Maybe it is because I can move around more inside the vehicle—especially on a train—and because the space feels larger, airier and less claustrophobic.
Planes, whilst more spacious than buses, are a hundred times more claustrophobic—especially in the Economy section. Air travel catapults us from place to place and across time zones in a way that creates havoc in our body's energy systems, turns our vision of the Earth's surface into distant wallpaper, subjects us to all kinds of discomfort, indignities and airborne viruses (not to mention the awful food) and totally confuses our natural, animal sense of distance.
This is why, even though it takes us three days (and three buses, four trains and a ferry) to get to our favourite vacation place and costs probably four times as much as flying, I would still rather go there slowly.
(I only wish I had the energy and stamina to ride my bike from here to there instead. That way I would really see the countryside. But of course I'd still have to take the ferry across the watery bits)

Your milk is best for your baby. Get tips on boosting your milk supply naturally and how to make breastfeeding simple and enjoyable for both of you.
Breastmilk is the gold standard of infant feeding and has big benefits for you, Mama!
- Perfect nutrition for your baby
- Builds a great bond between you and baby
- Ideal oral development
- Naturally comfort baby
- Lose "baby weight"
- Protection against breast cancer
- "Feel good" hormones for both of you
Though breastfeeding has these benefits (and more), and it's completely natural it doesn't always feel natural. It's not automatic for many moms – believe me, having questions and concerns is normal.
Reading books on breastfeeding can help, as can watching video clips. As you read and watch, know that new research into the field of lactation (breastfeeding) shows that advice about rigid, upright positions could contribute to breastfeeding problems.
What does that mean to you? It means that a more "relaxed" style of breastfeeding can help your baby latch on better and take in more milk. It's also more comfortable for you! Explore different positions and options and use what works for you and your baby.
Many moms are concerned about low milk supply. It seems almost epidemic in modern society. You can do a lot to build your milk supply, however.
Part of it the same thing you'll be advised of by doctors and lactation consultants: breastfeed your baby early and often.
But that's only part of the story.
Farmers know that early lactation (when their animal mothers are nursing newborns) is the time when their herd's nutritional needs are highest. It only makes sense that as an intelligent human mother, you need good nutrition to nourish your body and make abundant, superior milk for your baby. A low-calorie, low-fat diet is by definition low in nutrients and will make poor milk.
Combine a good diet with good positioning and latch-on to give your baby the best start and enjoy a great breastfeeding relationship 🙂

YouTube pulls videos with information on unsafe abortion methods
An information panel will appear next to abortion-related videos and associated search results.
YouTube says it will remove content that offers instructions on unsafe abortion methods, as well as false claims about abortion safety. Such content violates the platform's medical misinformation policies. YouTube says it will start taking down those videos today and ramp up its efforts in the coming weeks.
Additionally, YouTube is adding an information panel under abortion-related videos and above associated search results. The panel includes context and information from local and global health authorities, the service said.
"Like all of our policies on health/medical topics, we rely on published guidance from health authorities," a tweet from the YouTube Insider Twitter account . "We prioritize connecting people to content from authoritative sources on health topics, and we continuously review our policies & products as real world events unfold."
YouTube is taking the step after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, a ruling that ensured the right to abortion in the country. Several states immediately moved to ban abortions after the court's decision in late June.
The platform banned COVID-19 misinformation following the onset of the pandemic. By August 2021, it had taken down more than a million videos with dangerous COVID-19 misinformation. The following month, the platform banned content with vaccine misinformation.

With the proliferation of executive, spiritual and life coaches and the coaching industry in general, I often wonder when it all started - the concept of coaching.
There sure are a lot of coaches out there to select from and once we've decided to embark on a coaching journey, it can be challenging to decide who we should choose to be our guide.
What criteria do we use when evaluating a coach's ability to help nurture us through this rite of passage from a life of unconscious existence into a re-arranged and authentic life?
Should clients consider hiring coaches whose lives look perfect and constrained on the outside or is certification from an accredited school the criteria that really matters?
Should potential clients select a coach due to a referral from a colleague or do they select someone who, like the proverbial phoenix, has been decimated from hard times yet rises up again?
The lotus flower and the phoenix bird are powerful symbols of resurrection through hardships artfully developing resilience as they rise again – stronger, wiser, and more compassionate than before. A coach's hardships, lessons learned and resiliency are their greatest and most worthy credentials.
Just as there are some doctors who are more skilled than others in spite of identical training, so it is with coaches. A skilled coach is like a tincture of gypsum that breaks up the old, stagnant, and toughened clay before planting delicate seeds and later serves as a mulch of new tools protecting and nurturing their client's tender shoots of strength, authenticity and perspective.
When evaluating a life coach, consider which one might ask us tough questions in the context of getting past our blind spots. In the spectrum of coaching choices, which coach is more likely to have a profound impact on our life?
Which coach may be afraid of offending us and therefore may let us slip by because they are invested in us liking them. And which coach has mastered the finer qualities of intuition, strength, and active listening?
Which coach skillfully weaves a tapestry of safety so we can be the most transparent – allowing our true self to emerge fully rooted and which coach would we be trying to impress as we hide our deepest fears, dreams, and weaknesses from them – entrenched in our makeshift image?
Coaches don't have to lead perfect lives to be highly skilled in this craft, just as some good doctors don't have the healthiest of lifestyles or habits yet they exercise the best of care for their patients. Similarly, therapists don't counsel themselves and often have their own therapist, doctors don't operate on family members and lawyers rarely represent themselves.
Great coaches though, do need to be professionals who are comfortable living within ambiguous contexts instead of pigeon holing their clients or trying to "fix them" and they must have the ability to listen exceptionally well and hear what is not being said – those deafened or noisy, tense areas that keep us looping in unconscious behavior.
Which coach will cultivate our feelings of strength allowing us to access new skills during those times in our lives that evoke our strongest fears and trigger over-used, outdated and destructive habits?
The best coaches are compassionate yet fierce, adept at seeing larger or different perspectives, insightful and forthright and have a great deal of intuition and compassion. These skills can't be taught in school but they can be honed and developed through awareness.
Great coaches believe their clients are "naturally creative resourceful and whole" even in the midst of struggle, grief, hardship, disappointment, loss, and the tumult of change. They learn to encourage the process allowing it to develop on its own time instead of forcing a premature solution.
Which coach will help you let go of your dependence on what is familiar and move past your resistance into a new direction? Which coach will be side by side with you as you shed light on the areas in your life you haven't been able to face before?
I wonder, which airline first announced that in the case of a loss of cabin air pressure passengers should first put on their own oxygen mask before attempting to help their children or other travelers. Was the airlines policy of "putting on your own oxygen mask first" a twinkle in the coaching profession's eye or was it some other seemingly innocuous event that triggered this line of work?
"Putting on your own oxygen mask first" has profound implications for us all. I don't know which airline first taught this valuable life skill, but I wonder if they realized how profound this instruction is to the quality of our lives and safety on the ground as well as in the air.
"Putting on our own oxygen mask first" is a learned skill that is developed during the coaching dynamic. We take care of ourselves first by becoming a clear channel before we are capable of truly caring for, loving, and working well with and serving others.
Clean clear oxygen is intoxicating. So is the coaching dynamic and living an inspired life free from habitual patterns.
May your life be invigorating and may you become clear enough to see all the serendipitous occurrences happening all around you ~ all the time.
