"High school kids at In-N-Out Burger and Chick-fil-A are doing largely the same job that kids at any other fast-food restaurant are doing, and yet there are a lot fewer miserable jobs at In-N-Out and Chick-fil-A. The difference is not the job itself. It is the management. And one of the most important things that managers must do is help employees see why their work matters to someone. Even if this sounds touchy-feely to some, it is a fundamental part of human nature." – Patrick Lencioni
The premise of the book "3 Signs of a Miserable Job" by Patrick Lencioni is simply this – staying in a miserable job can have severely negative consequences on a person mentally, physically, and emotionally. These consequences can affect a person's life both personally and professionally and it does not have to be that way. The good news is that, as supervisors, we have the ability to combat the 3 signs of a miserable job and it really is not that complicated.
Here are the 3 signs of a miserable job . . .
"People cannot be fulfilled in their work if they are not known. All human beings need to be understood and appreciated for their unique qualities by someone in a position of authority. . . . People who see themselves as invisible, generic, or anonymous cannot love their jobs, no matter what they are doing."
"Everyone needs to know that their job matters, to someone. Anyone. Without seeing a connection between the work and the satisfaction of another person or group of people, an employee simply will not find lasting fulfillment. Even the most cynical employees need to know that their work matters to someone, even if it's just the boss."
"Employees need to be able to gauge their progress and level of contribution for themselves. They cannot be fulfilled in their work if their success depends on the opinions or whims of another person, no matter how benevolent that person may be. Without a tangible means for assessing success or failure, motivation eventually deteriorates as people see themselves as unable to control their own fate."
In relation to law enforcement, if an officer is miserable in their job due to the factors of anonymity, irrelevance, and immeasurability, then what is the cost to them personally, their squad, their department, and the community they are supposed to be serving? Personally, they carry their misery home which adversely affects their family life. They become the salty grump in the back of the briefing room that complains about everything and sucks the energy out of all around them. To the department they are a liability because of the negative impact on the culture and the unpredictability of their actions on the road. The community suffers because the miserable officer represents the worst of the police department which erodes public trust and makes the job that much more difficult for the officers that are not miserable. How many officers are you picturing in your head right now that match this description of a miserable officer?
Here are 25 ways law enforcement supervisors can combat anonymity, irrelevance, and immeasurability . . .
- Create a team atmosphere within the squad where it is believed that we is greater than I.
- When you get a new officer, meet with them individually and get them on board with the squad culture from day one.
- Recognize good police work in briefing. What you reward will be repeated.
- Have officers debrief good calls for service and share their expertise and successes with others.
- Get out of the office and on the road with your officers. Try to get on a call for service or backup each of your officers during each shift, if time allows.
- Rotating having officers conduct briefing training based upon their policing strengths and interests.
- Meet with officers regularly to discuss their career goals and seek out opportunities to help them fulfill those goals.
- Get to know your officers' families. Create opportunities for them to all get together with the other families of the squad.
- Send handwritten thank you notes to your officers' spouses or significant others to let them know that you appreciate the commitment that the families make to law enforcement, too.
- Making policing relevant is about getting back to the "why." Know why you chose to become a police officer. Know why you chose to be a supervisor. Share your why with your officers. Get to know their why, find opportunities to relate their why to calls for service, and discuss the relationship in briefing.
- As a supervisor, you set the tone and create value in community service. If it is important to you, it will be important to them.
- Promote public commendations in briefing by reading them aloud for all your officers to hear.
- Teach your officers to be good beat cops and take pride in their assigned part of the city.
- Get away from the term customer service and focus on community service. The term customer service cheapen what we do as police officers and builds irrelevance.
- Have discussions in briefing regarding who your officers serve. Point out that they serve not only the community, but they also serve each other. Discuss that you, the supervisor, are there to serve them.
- Teach your squad to have a focus on finding solutions while on calls for serve; not on producing statistics, being a band aid, or handling them as quickly as possible.
- Exemplify and promote a culture of positivity on your squad through your actions, attitude, and effort.
- Provide good feedback and evaluations to your officers. In return, ask for them to do the same for you.
Of the 3 signs of a miserable job, immeasureability is the most difficult for law enforcement supervisors to deal with directly. There is no limit to the number of statistics that can be measured for each officer: calls for service responded to, self-initiated activities, arrests made, tickets written, response times, amount of time spent on each call, number of community policing activities, etc. The question becomes, are we measuring the right things?
- Clearly define what the "rock star" police officer would do on a "perfect" shift based upon the mission, vision, and operational goals of the department.
- Determine what statistics officers and/or the department have the ability to capture that correspond to the "perfect" shift. If part of the "perfect" shift includes community policing and/or positive interactions with the community, then a way to count those interactions must be determined, as well.
- Set specific goals based upon what the "perfect" shift would look like that clearly define what success looks like for officers and provide them with a way to track those numbers.
- Ultimately, whatever is chosen to be measured must be supported by the officers' direct supervisors because the direct supervisors will give the statistics being measure their value.
- Supervisors must assist officers in seeing the positive perspective to their seemingly negative activities like making arrests or writing tickets.
- The question to be answered is how do you measure community policing activity effectiveness? Do you count the number of positive citizen commendations, the number of people that say "thank you" after being arrested/written a ticket, or the amount of time dedicated to solving beat problems? This is where the difficulty in the measurability of policing comes into play and must be answered by departments everywhere.
There are many more ways to combat anonymity, irrelevance, and immeasurability in policing. If these 3 signs of a miserable job are not addressed by law enforcement supervisors, then they will have to deal with the miserable officers they are allowing to be created.
"If you're still not convinced that this makes sense or that it applied to you, this would be a good time to consider resigning your position as a manager and finding a role as an individual contributor." – Patrick Lencioni

This weekend I'm going to someone's wedding, so I won't be able to attend the second annual Pit Bulls on Parade! (I believe this has taken the place of the "pitty party" that used to be held annually.)
I'm hoping to be able to get my butt in gear and post something every day, so here's the first attempt at Your Daily Dog: Bella the Double-Dragon Slayer!
hard to see in this photo, but that dragon has two heads! Brave Bella has saved us from the double-dragon! Yay, Bella!

Review Summary
- In Little Italy, a short drive from downtown San Diego
- Stylish restaurant with harbor views and terrace dining
- Rooftop bar with comfy couches and outdoor heaters
- Hair salon offering shampoos, blow drying, and styling sessions
- Small fitness center with treadmills, resistance machine, and hand weights
- Pet-friendly (for a fee)
- Free airport shuttle
- Free Wi-Fi
- No pool
- Valet parking only
- Outdoor hallways
- Some rooms get noise from restaurant or rooftop
- Some room furnishings are dated and worn
Bottom Line
The 193-room Porto Vista Hotel offers a mid-range option with a '60s motel vibe, a restaurant with harbor views, and a cool rooftop bar with plenty of lounge space. But despite the veneer of trendy decor in some areas, this is a no-frills property: Rooms have motel-style, exterior entrances, and the hotel's location in Little Italy, right off the freeway, isn't ideal for exploring Downtown San Diego on foot. A free (limited) breakfast is included in some room rates, and the hotel has a free airport shuttle. Wi-Fi throughout is free. Those who don't mind giving up an on-site restaurant and gym may prefer the nearby, charming Hotel Vyvant for around the same price.

After 10 days of traveling around the Northeast, it has been back to normal daily life here in Alaska.
I want so badly to jump right back into running and training like normal, but know I need to take it easy. I usually follow this plan when recovering from a marathon—increasing my mileage by 25%, 50%, and then 75% each week. It has worked well in the past, so I'll probably do that again this time around. However, I don't feel nearly as fatigued this time around as I usually do after a marathon. As I've done more marathons (Boston was my 5th), my body seems to recover faster each time.
I also know I need to take it easy because of the injuries I had the 6 months prior to the marathon. Thankfully, they did not bother me during the marathon, but on Tuesday morning my hamstring was giving me a little bit of pain after a couple of miles. It is a lot better than it used to be, but I know something still isn't right. Thankfully, my glute hasn't given me problems—although it may have moved to a spot higher in my glute where my back meets my glute.
On Tuesday morning I did cover 3 miles in just over 25 minutes. It is so nice not to have snow on the roads to deal with anymore. As you can see we still have snow everywhere else though.
Tuesday after work, I treated myself to an hour massage at Studio 3 in downtown Anchorage. I am simply amazed at the work Katie does each time I go and see her. She gave me an awesome recovery massage, and I was feeling very refreshed afterwards.
Since getting back to my normal routine, I am also eating better. Vegetables were definitely lacking last week during our vacation. All I wanted was protein after the marathon! I treated myself to what my body was craving and even indulged in a couple of desserts, which was a sweet treat after giving up desserts for over three months.
Protein spinach smoothies and salads are back in my diet. I do not make very good salads at home, but I do like Annie's Goddess salad dressing, which definitely improves my bland salads. I rarely buy the same salad dressing twice, but this is one flavor I keep going back to. I know Trader Joe's also makes a similar version and from what I remember, it tastes very similar.
I also discovered a new type of cracker I really like. I am a sucker for crackers—crunchy carbs are my favorite. I was tired of my regular cracker rotation, so I gave these Late July classic rich crackers a try. These, of course, are the Ritz version minus all the funky ingredients. And just so you know they are way better than Ritz.
I also had this Luna bar for lunch today. I am a big fan of Luna bars. I like almost every flavor and was excited to try this new flavor: Carrot Cake. The bar had a very strong spice flavor—almost too strong. I liked it, but I could see how others would think it was too much spice.
Prior to going to Boston I got a Shellac manicure at Body Works Salon and Spa, and I'm happy to report that it is still looking great after two weeks. My nails have grown out a bit, but it looks better than chipped edges.
The first time I got a Shellac manicure, it only last about a week and the edges near my cuticles started to lift and peel off. I called the nail salon to ask them if it was something I did or application error. They said it was probably due to my nails being too dry, so I was skeptical to try it again. Well, then I went to Body Works and inquired about a Shellac manicure. I told the nail esthetician what had happened, and she said that the polish had lifted because the Shellac polish had been applied too close too my cuticles. If the polish touches the cuticles, the oils from the cuticles will cause the polish to lift. When I had my Shellac manicure done this time, the polish didn't touch my cuticles, and I haven't had any problems with the paint peeling off.
Ever tried a Shellac manicure? What did you think?
Share your tips for recovering from a marathon—or a longer race.

A final deal was reached on a $789 billion stimulus plan (see NYT here). One of the best pieces of news is that the $50 billion in fraudulent budget gimmickry on behalf of the nuclear industry was axed, as I posted last night.
There's also a 3-year extension of the production tax credit for wind and other renewables, which will be crucial to Obama meeting his goal to "double the production of alternative energy in the next three years." And there's an expanded tax credit for plug in hybrids, which will be critical for Obama to meet his goal of one million plug-ins by 2015.
The conferees did put back $400 million for DOE's ARPA-E program, which in normal circumstances would be mostly duplicative of existing DOE R&D programs (see "Note to media on ARPA-E"). But it is new money, and will give Steven Chu something to chew on quickly.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has distributed a fact sheet on the conference report on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Here are the details on what's green in ARRA (and I'll also post the science and tech stuff):
Clean, Efficient, American Energy: To put people back to work today and reduce our dependence on foreign oil tomorrow, we will increase renewable energy production and renovate public buildings to make them more energy efficient.
Smart Grid/Advanced Battery Technology/Energy Efficiency
o Provides a total of $30 billion for such initiatives as a new, smart power grid, advanced battery technology, and energy efficiency measures, which will create nearly 500,000 jobs.
o Transforms the nation's electricity systems through the Smart Grid Investment Program to modernize the electricity grid to make it more efficient and reliable.
o Supports U.S. development of advanced vehicle batteries and battery systems through loans and grants so that America can lead the world in transforming the way automobiles are powered.
o Helps state and local governments make investments in innovative best practices to achieve greater energy efficiency and reduce energy usage.
o Spurs energy efficiency and renewable energy R&D.
Tax Incentives to Spur Energy Savings and Green Jobs
o Provides $20 billion in tax incentives for renewable energy and energy efficiency over the next 10 years.
o Includes a three-year extension of the production tax credit (PTC) for electricity derived from wind (through 2012) and for electricity derived from biomass, geothermal, hydropower, landfill gas, waste-to-energy, and marine facilities (through 2013).
o Provides grants of up to 30 percent of the cost of building a new renewable energy facility to address current renewable energy credit market concerns.
o Promotes energy-efficient investments in homes by extending and expanding tax credits through 2010 for purchases such as new furnaces, energy-efficient windows and doors, or insulation.
o Provides a tax credit for families that purchase plug-in hybrid vehicles of up to $7,500 to spur the next generation of American cars.
o Includes clean renewable energy bonds for State and local governments.
o Establishes a new manufacturing investment tax credit for investment in advanced energy facilities, such as facilities that manufacture components for the production of renewable energy, advanced battery technology, and other innovative next-generation green technologies.
Landmark Energy Savings at Home
o Provides $5 billion for landmark provisions to improve the energy efficiency of more than 1 million modest-income homes through weatherization.
o This will save modest-income families on average $350 per year on their heating and air conditioning bills.
Repairing Public Housing and Making Key Energy Efficiency Retrofits to HUD-Assisted Housing
o Provides a total of $6.3 billion for increasing energy efficiency in federally-supported housing programs.
o Specifically, establishes a new program to upgrade HUD-sponsored low-income housing (elderly, disabled, and Section 8) to increase energy efficiency, including new insulation, windows, and frames.
o Also invests in energy efficiency upgrades in public housing, including new windows, furnaces, and insulation to improve living conditions for residents and lower the cost of operating these facilities.
All in all, an impressive down payment on the transition to a clean energy economy.
Here's the science and tech stuff (which includes ARPA-E):
Transform our Economy with Science and Technology: To secure America's role as a world leader in a competitive global economy, we are renewing America's investments in basic research and development, in training students for an innovation economy, and in deploying new technologies into the marketplace. This will help businesses in every community succeed in a global economy.
Investing in Scientific Research (More than $15 Billion)
o Provides $3 billion for the National Science Foundation, for basic research in fundamental science and engineering — which spurs discovery and innovation.
o Provides $1.6 billion for the Department of Energy's Office of Science, which funds research in such areas as climate science, biofuels, high-energy physics, nuclear physics and fusion energy sciences — areas crucial to our energy future.
o Provides $400 million for the Advanced Research Project Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) to support high-risk, high-payoff research into energy sources and energy efficiency in collaboration with industry.
o Provides $580 million for the National Institute of Standards and Technology, including the Technology Innovation Program and the Manufacturing Extension Partnership.
o Provides $8.5 billion for NIH, including expanding good jobs in biomedical research to study diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, cancer, and heart disease.
o Provides $1 billion for NASA, including $400 million to put more scientists to work doing climate change research.
o Provides $1.5 billion for NIH to renovate university research facilities and help them compete for biomedical research grants.

West Bengal Chief minister, who is an eloquent speaker in Bengali, has begun translating her Twitter feed into Hindi, apart from the usual English.
There are numerous benefits of being a polyglot, especially if you are a politician. West Bengal Chief minister, who is an eloquent speaker in Bengali, has begun translating her Twitter feed into Hindi, apart from the usual English. TMC leaders admitted that the decision was "conscious, a signal of intent". After cementing her political position in West Bengal, she is planning to enlarge her national profile. And, after her recent rally at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, she is preparing to address rallies in Lucknow and Patna next week to campaign nationally against Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his much-debated move of demonetisation. Language along with diction matters in politics and in our country linguistic indeed plays a pivotal role. Earlier, she spoke Nepali in Darjeeling and tried out Santhal in Midnapore. She is leaving no stone unturned ahead of those rallies in northern Indian which is known as Hindi belt. TMC sources said, the feisty CM is looking for a Hindi teacher and has purchased a Bengali-Hindi dictionary, too. Banerjee acknowledged that as a politician who began her career as a parliamentarian in Delhi, her spoken Hindi has become "rusty". "I was in Delhi from 1984. First, as a parliamentarian and then as a member of the Union Cabinet. I spoke in Hindi then. But over the years, particularly after 2011, my Hindi has become rusty with lack of practice," she told The Indian Express.
According to the Indian Express report, Banerjee's politics is about "instinct". "Take for instance, Modi expressing sorrow that people standing in queues were suffering. She immediately felt that this was an instance of 'rubbing salt into wounds'. But she had to ask someone what the exact translation of the phrase was in Hindi before making a statement," said the aide. Banerjee, the aide said, is also working on a book of poetry in Hindi. Her party, meanwhile, is likely to publicise once again a biography of the Chief Minister in Hindi titled "Meri Sangharshpurnyatra", which was first published in 2013. Party leaders like Vivek Gupta, TMC MP and editor of the Hindi daily 'Sanmarg', are also contributing to Mamata's speeches, said sources.
Check out CM Mamata Banerjee's Hindi tweets.
On November 16, Banerjee put out her first Tweet in Hindi, announcing her joint rally at Azadpur Mandi in the national capital alongside her Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal. Four days later, she hit out at Modi in a series of tweets, first in Hindi followed by translations in English.
"Pradhan mantri ji, aap har virodhi ko bhrashtachari kahte hai. Aap kya jadugar hai. Janta ki awaz suniye. Unki takleef ko samjhiye. Janta is takleef ko bhula nahi sakti. Janta ki takleef ko mazak mat samjhiye. Aap ki policy se janta ko takleef kyun hoga, rahat honi chahiye. Har state ki, pure desh ki economy tahas nahas ho rahi hai. Janta dukh mein aur aap khushi mana rahe hai (PM, you are equating all opposition with corruption. Are you a magician? Listen to the voice of the people. Understand their discomfort. People will not be able to forget this.
So, CM Banerjee is not only sharpening his attack againt PM Modi but also brushing-up her Hindi. With 2019 is not far away, will we see Mamata Banerjee- the Hindi orator? Only time will tell.

Ghar Ki Lakshmi Betiyaan the story of four sisters, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Durga and Gauri, and their marriages which take place one after the other, has an already swelling star cast. As the narrative progressed, the actors were required to shoot at different studios. The team which had become very close to each other was very unhappy because of this separation, so much so that it is believed that their performances were getting affected. The cast and crew of Ghar Ki Lakshmi Betiyaan have become an off-screen family. Five months ago, the actors who were initially shooting at the same studio, were shifted at different locations. The team was so disheartened with the separation that they requested the production house (Creative Eye) to put them back on the same sets as before.
The serial was being shot at different locations like Russian Villa (Madh Island), Gemini Studio (Andheri) and Visage Studio (Jogeshwari) for the past five months, but has now been shifted to its original location of Magnum House in Andheri.
Says a unit member, "When we started the show, we used to shoot at one place. But, as the story developed with more characters being included, we needed to shoot at different studios. After the shift, we saw was a visible change in the entire cast. The team which used to be lively and energetic all the time seemed to have lost their vigour. The actors were so miserable about the separation that it reflected in their respective performances.â€
The unit member adds, "Everybody in the team was concerned as the productivity was greatly affected. Eventually, the actors requested the production house to shift the location back to Magnum Studio at Andheri.â€
We hear that the script of …Betiyaan has also been altered to accommodate the change. "One of the characters, Pavitra played by Jasveer Kaur, who was in jail has also been brought back. Now, everyone is so happy that every day is an occasion to celebrate their reunion,†adds the source.
When contacted, Nupur Alankar aka Halki Bua of …Betiyaan confirmed the story. She says, "Yes, after months of shooting at different studios we are back to the original set. Everyone in our team including me, are so elated that we are celebrating every day.â€

The stress at the End
My college (American Public University) gives you a very concise and easy-to-follow outline of what classes you can take, what you've taken, and what you need to take to fulfill the requirements (as I'm sure most, if not all colleges do). As the final, capstone course, my program outline showed only the Comprehensive Exam as an option. So, I assumed that meant that's what I needed to do.
After signing up for that class, and going through the first couple of weeks of writing outlines, and trying to recall information for essay answers, I began to get nervous. And that nervousness rapidly escalated to downright fear and anxiety. I am horrible with remembering names, dates, and specific people. Especially scholars of note. So, the idea of having to sit at a computer for six hours and write essay answers to four of eight possible questions, all from memory, and without any references available, was giving me hives, and causing me to wake up in the middle of the night with worry.
So, I emailed my Student Services office, and asked if it was possible for me to do a thesis instead of the exam. The answer I got was "Sure, no problem." All they had to do was add the option to my Academic Plan, which allowed me to register. So, I immediately dropped the exam course (unfortunately just a few days too late to get any kind of refund), and registered for the Thesis course.
So, starting next Monday, I will spend the next 16 weeks being guided through writing a 40-50 page paper on some aspect of ancient cultures. To some that may seem daunting. But, based on the format of my previous academic papers, that's approximately 16-20,000 words (based on most of my papers being roughly 325 words a page). I have snippets of failed novels longer than that. So, I know I can do this.
The only stress I have right now is that they suggest coming into the course armed with a handful of ideas for your paper to run by the professor. I decided that I would like to have five. Right now, I have one. With a few ideas that I need to spend this week exploring. At this point, I'll settle for three, since I will probably have to opportunity to develop a few more during the first couple of weeks. So, that's what I am working on this week. By the way, if anyone has any ideas, I'd be more than happy to hear them.
Outside of school, I'm working on doing more to relieve stress. And one of those things is reading fiction. Unfortunately, with my varied tastes, and the sheer volume of my TBR pile (both physical and virtual), sometimes it's hard to pin down what I am in the mood to read. I've started and set aside four or five books since finishing Conan of the Isles (see my last post), but I have finally settled on something, and it's keeping me interested.
Fans of fantasy wargaming, especially the Warhammer line, should be familiar with the characters of Gotrek and Felix. For those who aren't, they are kind of a "high fantasy" version of Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser (and if you don't know who they are I can't help you). Gotrek is a dwarven Trollslayer (basically a berserker who eschews armor, and has a death wish), and Felix is a human poet and memoirist, who also happens to be very capable with a sword. The premise is that Felix follows Gotrek around to chronicle his adventures, including his inevitable epic death. The books are good fun, and I had read a couple many years ago. I found two more in the bargain pile at HPB a while back, and snatched them up. I'm reading Orcslayer first. Because orcs. So far, it's pretty intriguing.
Anyways, life moves forward. Whether we want it to or not.

Good luck with the thesis. I've read a few of the Gotrek and Felix short stories and really enjoyed them. I've been meaning to get back to them.

For my third year in grad school I chose to write a thesis rather than take exams. I've never regretted it. I really enjoyed doing the thesis papers

Q&A Episode 106 "Because I Got High"
Larenz Tate gives fans an inside look to this week's Rush episode. And find out what freaks him out, what he's humming, and if Dr. Alex is starting to take an interest in the Rush lifestyle.
Question: Alex is getting tapped as the household handyman quite a bit in this episode. How are you around the house on a scale of Mr. Fix It to Mr. Forget About It?
Larenz: I would like to think I am a Mr. Fix it, but I know when it's time to pick up the phone and call a professional ;-)
Q: Alex opens up to Molly about the things that freak him out. Is there anything out of the ordinary that freaks you out?
L: I'm gonna have to agree with my character Alex re: the milk thing. I don't drink milk or shakes after other people. That milk backwash just ain't cool.
Q: If you had to sing the first song that popped into your head to calm someone down right now, what would it be?
L: Probably "itsy bitsy spider" like Alex, I have little ones at home too! Or "Happy" by Pharrell, everyone loves that song.
Q: Last week you teased that Alex finally gets a taste of Rush's lifestyle by taking one of his calls. Now that Alex has experienced that, do you think he's going to be back for more?
L: I definitely think Alex will be back for more, he got a taste and he likes it. That cash up front and the thrill was exciting for him. I think he'll see how far he can go.
Fan Questions

Larenz: You'll have to wait and see, Rochelle! Alex has gotten a taste of Rush's lifestyle, and he likes the excitement and the cash upfront ;-)
Tammy Glaspie-Smith: Love the show...What is your secret? You have not aged.
Larenz: I have vampires blood running through my veins, I come from a long history of vampires who don't age. Haha, in all seriousness, I eat a healthy vegetarian diet and surround myself with family and good people.
Beverly Garrett: The chemistry between all the characters is really good. What's it like on set?
Larenz: It is such a fun energy on set, we like to have fun. We are really fortune to have a great cast and crew, it makes going to work enjoyable.

In Memory of Natalie Wood
3 comments:
- Dani said...
Nice text, I like that you took the time to write it, as Natalie deserves to be remembered.
About the untying of the dinghy, I don't know if you've reached this part of the book yet, but they say that the dinghy was tied by 2 ropes, so if Natalie was adjusting one of them, the dinghy would be secured by the other. So, if she fell in the water, the dinghy would stay by the yacht. And that's just another hole in the theory Wagner created.
I watched your video yesterday (even left you a comment there) and I thought it was beautiful. I like the clips that you chose and also the song. You did a good job.

Wow! As a new follower of yours, I was so excited to read this entire post! I hardly knew any of these things about Natalie Wood except that she was an incredible actress. It truly is SO sad that her life ended the way it did, especially since she had so much left to give the world. Thank you for posting this!

- Rianna said...
Dani: Yeah, thanks, it did take me a while to write all of it. She certainly DOES deserve to be remembered! I haven't reached that part of the book yet, but I understand what you mean. So yet another hole... I get more and more dubious about Robert Wagner as time goes by. Thanks for your comment on the video :) And I'm really glad you liked the song and clips! Thanks!
Samantha: Firstly, thanks so much for following me! :) I agree completely with you, she had so much left to give to the world and it really is sad. You're welcome, I'm really glad you liked this post! :)

Global Education
An MCLA economist is bringing the world to his classrooms as he networks with educators from around the globe.
Professor Ben Kahn (on the far left with colleagues from Israel and India) recently returned from Bangalore, India, where he attended the Eastern Academy of Management International Conference. In addition to hearing the latest in global economics from experts from 25 countries across five continents, he and this network of business economics professionals and scholars have formed a faculty teaching community.
Together, they will "team teach" their students. This will allow Kahn to share with MCLA students firsthand what is being taught in other countries, including Germany, Denmark, England, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, China and India, to provide a network of information regarding the global economy and more.
"It will bring the best of education to the classroom," Kahn said. "The types of teaching materials we will use are those typically used by larger institutions such as Harvard, MIT, Columbia, Stanford and Berkeley because of their size and prominence. They always attract the best minds from the global community. Now, we are able to bring this level of sophistication and technology into the classroom at MCLA. This will enable our students to think more globally, and to have increased vision and ambition."
Since 1980, the United States have moved a number of companies to India, which features the sixth ranking economy and the second most populated nation in the world.
"There's a great American presence in India. An average salary for a college graduate is less than $250 a month," Kahn explained. "Our companies have discovered this, and that India has developed tremendous expertise, competency and skill, and infrastructure in information technology."
According to Kahn, Sysco Systems has built an industrial complex identical to the one located in California's Silicon Valley in Bangalore, where the conference was held.
"They work 12 hours in California and 12 hours in India so the company can work 24/7," he said. "Even the legal department is cloned in India."
Kahn encourages his students to travel the world and experience it for themselves. At the same time, MCLA brings the world to them through visiting professors such as Dr. Laura Yang, the dean of international education and entrepreneurial studies at China's Shanghei Institute of Foreign Trade (SIFT), and also exchange students from SIFT and Hebei University.
This summer, Madam Kong, the director of international relations at the World Trade Organization Consultation Center in Shanghai, China, and the vice president of academic affairs at SIFT, Madam Xu, also visited MCLA.
Next spring, faculty from India will visit The Sage Colleges in New York, where Kahn also teaches. During their stay, MCLA students will make frequent visits to attend classes and hear a series of lectures.
Besides India, Kahn has traveled extensively throughout China - the most populated country in the world. Because the U.S. is home to just 5 percent of the world's population, Kahn said it is vitally important that we prepare students for leadership positions abroad.
"The future of the United States is outside of the United States. We have saturated our market, domestically. We have to look for an expansion of our market, outside of the United States. We can no longer rely on domestic production, producing goods for ourselves and consuming it and importing goods from other nations and consuming it," Kahn said. "We know the future is in the export market because 95 percent of the global population lives outside of the United States."

The latest BlackBerry Classic smartphone will now be available to Verizon Wireless customers, with online preorders starting Feb. 26 and in-store sales beginning on March 5.
The BlackBerry Classic includes the company's well-known QWERTY keyboard, trackpad and navigation keys, as well as a 3.5-inch square touch-screen HD display that is covered with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for strength. The Classic also includes a 2MP front- and an 8MP rear-facing camera, a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and 16GB of internal storage, which is expandable up to 128GB using a micro SD card.
BlackBerry launched the Classic in December 2014, just a few months after unveiling its BlackBerry Passport smartphone for enterprise users in September 2014.
The BlackBerry Classic will be the third BlackBerry smartphone available to Verizon customers, joining the BlackBerry Z10 and Z30 models that are already offered.
Further reading
The new Classic will be priced at $99.99 after a $50 rebate under a two-year contract with Verizon, or customers can purchase it through the Verizon Edge plan, which allows customers to make monthly payments for their devices and trade in their devices in less time, according to Verizon.
The Classic also includes a 2,500mAh battery that provides users with up to 22 hours of mixed use, as well as power optimization that can extend battery life when power is running low and users need to stay online.
The Classic is a 4G LTE phone that runs on BlackBerry OS 10.3.1 and is XLTE-Ready.
Competitor AT&T began offering the BlackBerry Classic to its customers back in January, and will soon have a special AT&T-only round-edge Classic version that will be exclusively available to its customers, according to an earlier eWEEK report.
That round-edge version differs from the standard version, which has distinctive squared-off edges and corners as part of its design. The new exclusive AT&T version was created because AT&T wanted to offer it to its users.
BlackBerry has previously modified some of its phones with special colors or features for carriers in the past, including a BlackBerry Curve 8350i built specifically for Sprint/Nextel and a special Henna-designed Pearl color for AT&T.
BlackBerry continues to be hard at work in early 2015 as it seeks to rebuild its reputation and market presence after some very difficult years. BlackBerry's fall from dominating the enterprise smartphone market has been swift and stunning. In early 2006, before the first iPhones appeared from Apple, half of all smartphones sold were BlackBerry models. By 2009, though, its share of the global smartphone market was down to 20 percent.
BlackBerry spent much of 2012 and 2013 trying to shake off the image that it was finished, especially compared with its presence five years earlier when its devices were the "enterprise gold standard" for mobile business communications.
In December 2014, BlackBerry reported a mixed bag of financial results in its fiscal third-quarter 2015 earnings report. For the third quarter, which ended Nov. 29, the company reported a continuing drop in GAAP (generally accepted accounting principals) revenue to $793 million, down 13.43 percent from the prior quarter, while also posting a welcome 28.5 percent reduction in GAAP losses, which totaled $148 million for the quarter.
The $793 million in revenue is a drop from the $916 million posted in the company's fiscal 2015 second-quarter figures, which were reported back in September. The $148 million loss is a significant improvement from the $207 million loss that was posted at that time. The company's per share loss was 28 cents, compared with a loss of 39 cents per share in the second quarter.
That $793 million third-quarter revenue total is down 33.5 percent from the same quarter one year ago, when the company posted revenue of $1.19 billion.
BlackBerry said in the third quarter, hardware sales accounted for 46 percent of its revenue, services for 46 percent, and software and other revenue 8 percent.

A Man with No Past
10/30/2016 | Share this article: View CommentsBy Fernando Alcántar ~
II am a man with no past. And you are probably one too.
When I was born, my family put the seal of Catholicism on me and taught me that since I was Mexican, I was Catholic just as much.
The rest is a story I've shared on the book To the Cross and Back: An Immigrant's Journey from Faith to Reason. A story of how as a teenager I converted to Protestant Christianity trying to escape loneliness and seeking healing from childhood trauma. I then became a state leader for the Foursquare denomination in Baja California—where I was a tongue speaking, demon-casting young leader. I then became a globetrotting missionary for Azusa Pacific University—one of the largest evangelical colleges in the nation. And then became head of youth and young adult ministries for the almost 400 churches in the Southern California-Hawaii region of the United Methodist Church.
For about 30 years I obeyed the rules of the Bible as best as I could, including hiding the darkest secret—even from myself—the fact that I am gay. For at least a decade I fought a depression anchored in a never ending doubt. What happens if I lose faith? My life would go out of control. And when my heart came crashing down with a mayday and a cloud of smoke behind it in 2011, I hit the ground—hard. I ended up checking myself into the emergency room in Pasadena, California. I walked over to the girl at the check-in counter. "How can I help you?" she asked. To which I responded, "My psychiatrist told me to check myself in because I want to kill myself."
Leaving religion behind was no easy feat. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done—one that in fact almost ended my story. But I am the better for it. Here I am, five years later, still kicking and screaming. But now that I am free from religion, a book with my story on the shelf, I've met so many people like me, like you,who find themselves looking behind and not recognizing the path.
For a good part of my life, I studied, worked,dated, played, worked out, traveled, and much more . . . with Christians. I breathed, ate, slept Christianity. Every activity and relationship, I see now, was in one way or another connected to the faith. And when that link was broken, my boat begin to wander off into the ocean, pushed by the freewind, and showed me new areas I didn't know existed. And that process has been, well,freeing. With religion behind me I have explored and accepted I am gay. I have started a new career and I'm setting new goals. I have met great people who are accepting of whom I am instead of calling me an abomination. But once the newness and the excitement settles a bit, taking a break in the middle of this new road-trip, I realize while looking back that the road behind me has disappeared.
Memories of 30 years, friendships and rivalries, joy and heartache,adventure and misfortune, take place in the pages of my book but are no longer tingling in the waves of my present. It's like my life started four years ago and I have no roots to keep me grounded—I have no shoulders to hold on to—I am a man with no past.
I've traveled around the world, have led hundreds of churches, spoken in front of thousands of people,and on cold nights and dry days I can count on one hand the people I'd reach out to for a glass of water (not attached to a prayer). And this is why many of us doubt and question cutting off the chains. We know religion is toxic, it's bullshit, it's childish and nonsensical—but it's what everyone is doing. It's what bring them together and connects them to everyone else: community. And who are we without it?
Though in the midst of the sometimes overwhelming loneliness, I never regret divorcing fantasy. If anything, it increases the anger against the brainwashing process of convincing you that if you want to be good and go to heaven (not burning in a lake of fire for all eternity) you have to believe in the invisible, against reason.
It's hard. I talked with a friend a couple of weeks ago who has a story similar to mine, and he is battling a deep depression, locking himself in his room and disconnected from the world. Why? POWs, war veterans, share a similar experience. The world we left behind is so different now—but it was so real before. And now we walk in the company of ghosts not sure at times if it was all real or not. How could we have gone through something like that? But there aren't many recovery programs for those who suffer from Religious Trauma Syndrome. Yup, it's a real thing! Religious Trauma Syndrome (RTS) is a function of both the chronic abuses of harmful religion and the impact of severing one's connection with one's faith and faith community, and can be compared to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
We have lost a lot for being brave. And I hope soon the freethinking community will catch up to the fact that we need exactly that—to become a real"community." It doesn't stop with saying bye to Jesus. It barely starts. We can't live in the shadows and continue to play nice to those who remain under a spell so as to not to disrupt an illusion of peace. We have to speak up and say,"I'm here!," and in the process we'll realize we are not as alone as we thought we were. We need a new future, as we build a new past, so let's make this present one we can be proud of—together.

Loving God & Neighbor
Mark 12: 28-34
Tb 6:10-11,7:1,9-17,8:4-9a / Ps 128
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.
(Mark 12:30)
By His patience Christ made us feel
The essence of His love so real,
That in turn we too may reveal
His love according to God's will.
One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing how well Jesus had answered the Sadducees, he asked Him, "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?" Jesus answered, "The most important one is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." The scribe replied, "Well said, teacher. You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but Him. To love Him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices." When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And from then on no one dared ask him any more questions. (Mark 12: 28-34)
In most encounters with the Pharisees, Herodians, and Sadducees, Jesus patiently taught them the errors of their beliefs and convictions, even though He knew that all their queries were not meant to seek the truth, but to entrap Him in His words. His patience and wisdom finally found a soft spot in one of the scribes, who initially sought to test Jesus' knowledge about the law, but was greatly impressed by His quick response on the two most important laws: to love God, and to love one's neighbor. After all, Jesus was Love incarnate, and He radiated it wherever He went, in whatever He did, and in whatever He said. Perhaps this was the reason why His enemies hated Him, because He represented their opposite nature. But Jesus still showed the true essence of love by His patience and kindness toward them.
Loving God and neighbor are the greatest commandments because they are done not in obedience to laws, but in imitation and adulation of the Father's nature, Who is Love. Love is the greatest commandment because it is not just a commandment, but the fruit of the Holy Spirit that God gives to His faithful children. It is not just a task to perform, but a commitment to give of our self without conditions, without limits. And we cannot love God if we do not love our neighbor as well. "Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen" (1Jn.4:20)
Jesus said we must love God with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our mind, and with all our strength. To love Him perfectly He must always be in our mind and in our heart. This is what praying and meditation is all about. In the first reading, before Tobiah and Sarah consummated their love, they first prayed to God "for mercy and deliverance" (Tob.8:4-5) St. Paul says, "Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." (Col.3:17) Thus, true love must be spiritual, otherwise it is not love at all. It is His Holy Spirit that gives us the inspiration to pray and meditate.
What we have become is all because of God's love. His love for us is transformational. Just as my life has been transformed by the sacrament of marriage – and conjugal love comes from Him too – I have become a better person not because of so much effort on my part, but because through the years God patiently molded me, and revealed the true meaning of His love. In all gratitude for His gift, how can I not love Him back with everything I've got?
Dear God, You are love. You have shown us that the more we love others, the closer we come to reflect Your image and likeness. Thank You, Lord, for this revelation. Amen.

The Society of Biblical Literature, in association with Logos Bible Software, has made a critically edited Greek New Testament available free to download. It's things like this that cheer a biblenerd up! The Greek New Testament: SBL Edition (SBLGNT), which is freely available in electronic form and for purchase as a print edition.
I'm all about ease of use and making my research simpler so when they use phrases such as "both students, teachers, clergy, and interested laypersons can use the SBLGNT in their study and writings without having to input the Greek text letter by letter" I'm hooked :) I've just downloaded it so I haven't tested it out entirely but I will keep you posted. Have a look at the fatastic BetterBible blog for more detailed info.
And for those of you who have been living under a non-biblical rock, check out the SBL Greek Font.

Termite Swarm Alertdrywood termites, orange oil termite control, orange oil termite treatment, termite infesation, termite swarmer, termite swarming season
It's the first week of May and termite swarming season is already upon us with drywood termite swarms already being reported in Southern California communities. If you notice any kind of termite activity in or around your home or business you need to take action fast because a termite problem can escalate rapidly. If you happen to see a swarm but then it goes away that does not mean the termites just disappeared and you are safe either. That usually means they have infiltrated and are about to become a seriously big issue. The scariest thing about drywood termites is that they work rather quietly and undetectably, eating away your home from the inside out. Know the time to get a termite inspection and make sure your home is not infested.

The Evolution of Social Media (2008-2013) ~ An Infographic
Social media is never static. It is an an ever-changing array of tools and platforms built for any number of purposes.
On November 28 2013, HootSuite celebrated its fifth birthday. Over the last 5 years social media has changed the world in innumerable ways. From becoming a resource for activists to showing us the earth as we had never seen it before, each year brought new social networks with new purposes (and the decline of others, like MySpace). Even our own tool has undergone major upgrades as we strived to meet the needs of a user base that exploded from zero to over 8 million. We want to thank those users, our customers and our partners for 5 years of growth.
The following infographic offers a snapshot of the last 5 years of social media, how it has evolved and impacted our lives. What stands out for you?
Share this infographic, especially with those who are still in doubt about the power of social media!

The 2011 Nobel Peace Prize will be announced Friday and the winners will probably be one or more leaders of the Arab Spring who helped liberate Tunisia and Egypt – peacefully.
But the revolutions in most Arab states are still rumbling, often violently. And if there are active moral heroes to be honored, one group could be 20 doctors, nurses, and paramedics in Bahrain, a tiny Gulf kingdom that also happens to host the US Navy's Fifth Fleet.
Last Thursday, this selfless group was given prison sentences ranging from five to 10 years after treating wounded protesters – and there were many in need of such help. Ever since pro-democracy demonstrations began in Bahrain last February, an estimated 120 people have been killed. Hundreds more have been injured and thousands were arrested or lost their jobs.
The Bahrain 20 weren't among the protesters. Like Red Cross medics on a battlefield who extend mercy to anyone, they may have even treated injured soldiers and police who shot or beat protesters. Their harsh sentences were handed down by a special "security" court, evoking strong criticism from United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and a mild rebuke about judicial fairness from the United States.
But here's another big reason to honor the jailed medics: Even as their trials were under way, the Obama administration proposed to sell $53 billion of weapons and other military hardware to the country's absolute monarch, King Hamad.
Yes, the president who told Arab protesters that the US "cannot stand idly by when a tyrant tells his people there will be no mercy" is selling the tools of suppression to an Arab tyrant. And that's even as Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton warns other countries not to sell weapons to Syria's dictator, Bashar al-Assad.
The administration must not mix and match its moral stands in the Middle East, despite the fact that Bahrain is a strategic ally of Saudi Arabia and the US against regional encroachment by Iran. With little ability or willingness to use military force in the region, President Obama should at least keep America's standing high among Arabs. He can do that by seeking to have the sentences of these medics overturned.
If human rights were at stake for Mr. Obama when Muammar Qaddafi was ready to massacre thousands in the Libyan city of Benghazi, they are also on the line when doctors and others in the healing profession are jailed for simply fulfilling their commitment to life.
The nonviolent start of the Arab Spring must be further encouraged, as a Nobel Peace Prize might do. And that includes the US warning Arab autocrats to let medical professionals do their job.

Théodore Monod: French civil servant, explorer, scientist and naturalist who spoke out against nuclear weapons and nuclear energy
From the obituary for Theodore Monod in The Telegraph, November 24, 2000:
… Monod finally returned to Paris in 1965, to take up a chair of African Ichthyology at the Musée d'histoire naturelle. He did not confine himself to writing about fish, however… He spoke out regularly against pollution, and took stands on many subjects besides. In 1960, he was one of the 121 who signed a protest against the use of torture by the French authorities in Algeria, even though at the time he was in government employment and forbidden by law from co-operating with such movements… Every August 6 from 1983 he went to Taverny, the command center of French strategic services, and undertook a four-day-long fast in memory of Hiroshima and Nagasaki… Frank in his views, he would readily agree to be interviewed and to appear on television to take part in discussions. He styled himself a humanist and a pacifist, declaring that he was "violently non-violent… Monod's many books included Les déserts (1973), L'émeraude des Garamantes: Souvenirs d'un saharien (1984) and Mémoires d'un Naturaliste Voyageur (1990)… He was awarded gold medals by the Société de Géographique, the Royal Geographical Society and the American Geographical Society. He won the Haile Selassie Prize for African Research, and was appointed a Grand officier de la Légion d'honneur. [1]
Although I am a civil servant, I persist, right or wrong, in considering myself a free man. Though I have sold a part of my intellect to the State, I haven't rendered unto it my heart or my soul… And in fact it is rendering a service unto Caesar to look him straight in the eye and say no. That can lead him to reflect. After all, Caesar too has a soul. [2]
-- Theodore Monod, Le dernier des explorateurs
"Nuclear energy was a considerably imprudent venture that France jumped into with headlong abandon."
(this segment is a translation of the article and book excerpt published by Sortir du Nucléaire)
When he passed away in 2000, Theodore Monod had been recognized as one of the greatest French explorers, scientists and naturalists. He was a specialist in desert environments, author of many famous works, and he was a humanist and a committed ecologist. In The Seeker of the Absolute (Le chercheur d'absolu) he wrote:
Nuclear energy was a considerably imprudent venture that France jumped into with headlong abandon. Other countries, more informed, reversed course: Switzerland, Germany, Sweden, the United States…
France possesses the greatest volume of nuclear discharges in Europe. It rots the ecological fabric. Justice has ruled: the capital of these radioactive wastes will be located in Digueville, in la Manche. The total is astronomical, close to 70,000 tons of French wastes, not including those that will come from abroad…
We can fear another Chernobyl, anywhere, anytime. Information [about Chernobyl] was falsified to the point that they said the radioactive cloud hadn't crossed the Rhine when it was understood that it had come down over France.
La Hague has become Europe's nuclear garbage can, but the television reassures us. All is for the best, according to ANDRA (l'Agence nationale de gestion des déchets radioactifs), which has determined where the garbage will be stored. This organization is on a quest for an eternal resting place for it, but it is difficult. They have to take account of seismic fault lines, the movement of tectonic plates, and soil types from sandstone to clay. Humans may have a short memory, but not the Earth. Radioactive wastes will end up in geological formations that are supposedly "stable." They will be there for millions of years because the wastes are long-lived. Yet the earth is in perpetual motion, at the surface and below. Good people who are short on memory but long on ego will sleep peacefully on this earthly waste bin with its promise of solidity. It matters little that the containers will eventually leak, as the public has a limited concept of the future. Fifty or one hundred years seems to be an immense span of time. For a scientist, this is a spec in the hourglass of Time. I'm not a pessimist; I'm just clairvoyant. [3]

Two suspects including a famous former kickboxer were charged in connection with the murder of a man in Kampong Speu province on Monday.
Choung Vannak, 34, also known as Raksmey or Ngoal, and his alleged accomplice, former kickboxing champion Try Kunthor, were arrested at a guesthouse on Monday in Kampot town, Kampot provincial deputy police chief Mao Chanmeakthurith said.
"The two suspects were charged with shooting crimes, and we will send them back to the province where they committed the crime after the lawsuit is prepared," he said.
The two suspects were caught at about 11pm, a few hours after allegedly fleeing the scene of the crime, when they were recognised by police after leaving their guesthouse to buy a milkshake and bread, he added.
Tith Vannak, Kampong Speu provincial crime office director, identified the victim as 67-year-old grocer Sann Soeun, who he said was shot in Phnom Sruoch district. "The suspect shot the victim in the head from behind. We are having difficulty concluding whether they killed him because of spite, robbery or political stuff," he said.
Phnom Srouch district deputy police chief Pov Neun said a man had walked into the victim's shop to buy some beer just before the crime. After passing a $20 bill to the victim, the suspect shot him in the back of the head as he turned to get change.
In 2007, Try Kunthor was found guilty of armed robbery and jailed for several years.

Jonathan Chait, Bush-hater, On Hillary's Non-Anger Anger
Just finished taping a long interview with Los Angeles Times columnist Jonathan Chait, most famous for his September 29, 2003 New republic article "Mad About You: The case for Bush haterd," which began "I hate President George W. Bush."
In yesterday's column, Chait argued that the charge by RNC Chair Ken Mehlman that Hillary "seems to have a lot of anger" was weird and unfounded.
I suspected that anyone as angry as Chaiot admits to being might not in fact be the best judge of who is angry. Sort of like a contestant in "The Biggest Loser" telling you that somebody's in great shape.
So Chait and I talked it through for almost 40 minutes. The result will play between 4:30 and 6:00 PM, Pacific, and a transcript will be up at Radioblogger.com later.

0 Hi! leading I must say I enjoy this position I've learned so much from you altogether, Thank you!
I'm a non-traditionary student (age 52) my kids are completely grown and I decided to fashion back to school. I'll subsist graduating in May 2016 with my BSN and I dress in't know where I want to observe my capstone or where I poverty to work after graduation. I'm at the modest age, but had the opportunity to increase my degree and have a better future, so I chose nursing.
Nursing denomination has been very stressful for me! tot~y the assignments, papers, care plans, exams, simulations, canvassing posts, medical concepts, etc !!! I've developed anxiety issues and chronic head aches from the force combined with going through menopause. I be hostile to the stress that nursing school brings moreover enjoy some of the clinical experiences.
I be in need of to be a nurse so I can give back and make life a minute better for others. But, I put on't want to work in a eminent acuity, high stress, long hours, back rupture area (ER, OR, Med-Surg, ICU, L&D…) hence, I'm considering home health, institute nurse, postpartum or PACU. I've wearied a day with a school suckle and a few days in a originating baby unit/lactation and enjoyed them one as well as the other.
I need to chose my capstone and I'm considering school nursing, PACU or Home Health. (Our program won't concede postpartum because I've already had that definite space as a clinical experience).
My interrogatory is, what do you think would subsist a good fit for someone my time of life, being an introvert,I like order and structure, very organized, love kids (I raised 4)…I like the hours and summers opposite to that come with being a discipline nurse, it would allow me to journeying with my hubby and visit meet with my kids. The down side is the income is very low $35K a year and I'm haunted with fear I'll be bored. I like the self-legislation that being a home health allows, no more than I'm afraid the patient acuity may have existence too much for me. I'd raise the value of your thoughts…
Liberal infections activate these clinical organizations, some more minimum than plants.

The sclera is the white part of the eye. It could serve as a window to what goes on inside the body.
Sclerologists study the sclera with the view of assessing the body's health status.
But what actually do sclerologists look out for in the sclera which aid them in their assessment?
Basically we are interested in evaluating three key parameters in the sclera and that include;
Ascertaining the general colour of the sclera.
Sclera colour may be pink, reddish, blueish, yellowish, brownish or clear white. Each of these colours point to specific conditions and pathologies. For example when the sclera starts turning brownish, it indicates that the toxicity level in the body is getting to the high side. It's a call for detoxification especially of the liver and the blood stream.
Judging the red lines (capillaries) in the sclera and noting especially their;
These red lines that crisscross the sclera signify some health conditions. For instance, red lines that are wavy are known as congestion lines and signify that their is a congestion problem in the organs in whose reflex zones (in the sclera) they show. If seen in the colon, we have a case of fecal matter impaction. When observed in the lung region, administering expectorants to assist the expulsion of trapped mucus becomes imperative.
Searching for the existence of colour patches or dots as well as pigment deposits in the sclera is also very important and offers vital clues.
Over 75% of health analysis using sclerology depends largely on judging the red lines (capillaries) in the sclera and noting especially their shape, size, direction, intensity and location.
The red capillaries which we often see in people's sclera are tell-tales signs. It is important to state that sclerology just like iridology primarily does not concern itself with names of diseases. It is a method of identifying dis-eased organs. In sclerology we use the term 'stressed' rather than 'diseased' in describing weak tissues that require medical intervention.
By using appropriate therapeutic measures such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutritional medicine and homeopathic remedies, the stressed organs can return to the state of normalcy and equilibrium.
