Where's Waldo?
We're supposed to find him in a picture of a crowd or a chaotic scene.
Maybe he's in a crowd at the State Fair.
Maybe he's hiding in a bunch of dogs at the dog park.
It's game to see who can spot him first.
He's always got that kooky grin on his face. You can't help but smile.
What if Waldo were hiding in your life? Where would he be? Amongst the toys as you play with the kids? Lost in the overwhelming pile of papers on your desk? Covered up by mountains of laundry?
Sometimes Waldo hides in our emotional turmoil. He can get lost in our tears and our fears. Not only does he hide there, but we bury God's peace and joy there, too.
We stop looking for anything that might make us smile. We no longer search for the little day-by-day blessings God pours into our lives.
We let the storm drown out God's promises. We're blinded by the lightning strikes that stab our hearts so we miss the light of His love.
Only God's Word can calm us. Snatches of it might come into your mind. A friend might say something that reminds you of your favorite scripture.
I keep a list written inside the front cover of my Bible. I don't have to search through the pages to find the truth I need – I just open it and begin to read.
Here are a few of my favorites:
The storm cannot overwhelm Him:
"The one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." (1 John 4:4b)
He will fill you with peace:
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." (John 14:27)
He's all-powerful:
"The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom." (Isaiah 40:28)
He's always near you:
"For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer." (1 Peter 3:12)
He's your guard:
"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:7)
He's your deliverer:
"He guards the lives of his faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked." (Psalm 97:10b)
He's your strength:
"The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song." (Psalm 28:7)
How does God encourage you during the storm?
Do you have a favorite verse that calms you when life is tough?

My friend was unable to order a wedding dress in good time. He visited this site for and made an order. The company staff made an effort and got him the best dress within few weeks before the wedding day. The cost was manageable, and the service was pleasing. I acknowledge the best deals offered by the company. From experience, he lacked words to thank the company even through the site reviews it was difficult. The wedding day was excellent. I recommend good reviews to the company for the services it is offering to the customers.

OMG! TheGreenGuide is the best! I want to have a special dress to wear for an anniversary dinner at a fancy restaurant. I am sure that my boyfriend of two years is going to ask me to marry him!! I'm on a budget, but I found the perfect evening dress at TheGreenGuide. It was delivered today and OMG!! It fits perfect! And the color is beautiful and bright, the material feels like silk! I just know this is going to be a night I'll always remember! Thanks for making it special! You guys rock!
Customer: cristina Date:09/16/2017
I am not a fan of shopping online because of the fear that I might not get the best deal, and from the negative reviews that customers give. But upon being referred by a friend, I decided to go forward and order an evening dress. I was nervous when the shipping arrived, as I kept thinking negatively about what I would expect. To say the truth, the evening dress was exquisite, and fitting as I had desired. In fact, everyone kept telling me what a beautiful dress I had. One thing is for sure, I will be buying all my dresses from TheGreenGuide.
Customer: misty Date:09/21/2017
A prom dress is a unique attire during special occasions. I wanted to buy for my graduating friend from university. I ordered the dress via the TheGreenGuide online platform. The communication went on fast with a friend I appreciate the friend who connected me to TheGreenGuide e-commerce site because I got a variety of dresses. The goods news are that the dress was delivered in advance and had the specifications I had requested. I recommend many buyers to the site for the good work I received.
Customer: Annika Date:09/26/2017
Everyone has standards, and I guess mine are a little on the high side. That's why I wasn't sure about ordering from TheGreenGuide even though I saw a lot of great reviews. However, I called the customer service team and they allayed my concerns. I know that they care about their business and their customers a lot. So I took a leap of faith and was pleasantly surprised. I will recommend to any of my friends and family.

From the buds on the trees to the tulips poking out of the grown, and the feel of warm sunshine on my face, I love spring. So here's to a fun week to celebrate.
Painting, lots and lots of ideas here. We love painting in our house so I'll probably be doing one or all of these:
From housingaforest.com Painting a Spring Tree
Not sure who to give credit to, because the link is Chinese :) But this looks fun:
And we've all seen this one, but still great. Have you ever seen the Cherry Blossoms in Washington DC this time of year? One of my all time favorite memories from a family vacation.
Alphamom.com shows us how to paint them.
Fine Motor Skills:I was taught that the first sign of spring was a Robin. Practice being a robin, by collecting worms. Over at prekinders.com there are a ton of fine motor skill activities for kids. I liked this idea for spring. You pick up the worms (pipe cleaners) with the bird's beak (clothes pin). If you want to read something fun, click on the tag bird nest. We had a momma robin build a nest on a wreath I had made. It was amazing watching the whole process!
Another idea is for the child to practice their scissor cutting skills. It's perfect for beginners because it doesn't matter how long each piece is, or how many times they need to cut to get it right. This is called a suit cage, and can be purchased from anywhere between $1-3.
My kids love color by number pages: Here's a great one
Seed Sprouting. All you need are seeds, wet paper towels, an air tight container (like a zip lock bag) and a warm spot. I'll be using sunflower seeds, and we'll be planting them, but beans work especially well too.
Fold the paper towel in half and wet it until very damp. Place the seeds on the towel, then either fold or roll it up. Place the paper towel in the container, and close it. You can check it every 12 hours if you'd like. Some sprout with in 24. Then place the container in a warm spot, like the top of your refrigerator or heat register.
Once the tails have sprouted, it's safe to plant. If the seed attaches to the paper towel, because the roots are too big, just rip off the paper towel with the seed attached and plant the whole thing. photo credit to Thyme2Gardennow
Field Trip:
On a day that's warm (we have several 60 degree days in the forecast) I'll be taking the kids to a nursery.


text: Simply put, this is one of New Zealand's flagship reds, and it is a shame it is no longer being imported to the U.S. Lifted hints of dried flowers and herbs impart great complexity to the aromas, and the wine's cassis, cedar and chocolate flavors come across as intense without being overbearing. This is firmly structured, with plentiful but fine tannins. Drink 2015–2025.

System toolsWhether you like to tweak your system or are trying to breathe new life into an old PC, you'll find a wide range of utilities on the market to play with. Nowadays, they come in suites with dozens of different tools for optimising your hard disk, tightening up system files, protecting your data against disasters and generally keeping things running smoothly.
McAfee Utilities, now in its fourth incarnation, is a good example of this kind of package. In fact, the last offering was so good, it's difficult to see exactly how the programmers could improve it. They have made some useful additions, though, namely Active Tune and TaskMaster, which stand out.
Two to tango
Active Tune is a system for helping to optimise the performance of your hard drive. In theory, the way Active Tune does this sounds perfectly plausible. As new files are created, the software makes sure they are intelligently stored in the best possible place on the disk itself. This is a little like the standard Windows defragmentation utility, except that Active Tune performs its task automatically and continuously, without needing the user's intervention.
McAfee promises that this will have multiple knock-on effects, which will aid the overall performance of your system. According to McAfee, using Active Tune cuts down on disk fragmentation, making programs run faster and helping to prevent bad sectors and other disk damage. This sounds great but, unfortunately, due to limited testing time, we weren't able to validate these longer-term claims.
The other star of version 4.0 is TaskMaster. This useful utility is a hybrid of the dialogue box that appears when you press
on your keyboard and Microsoft's handy System Configuration Utility.
Windows and its applications tend to run several programs silently every time you start your computer. Sometimes these might be important things like antivirus software, but often they are unnecessary and only serve to slow down your system, and in some cases may even cause it to crash. TaskMaster provides a lot more control over what's running on your PC at any given time than do the standard Windows tools.
Minimal overloading
TaskMaster's main window shows a list of all the tasks (or programs) that your PC is currently running and allows you to end them, or try to reactivate them should they stop responding. The second tab lets you create different configurations for Windows that you can load on a restart. For instance, you could create a profile that loads a minimal number of programs so that your system's resources are free to work on power-hungry activities, such as digital video-editing or 3D gaming.
McAfee Utilities has all the features that we've come to expect, as well as a useful extra in the form of PGP encryption for data security. The interface is tidy and allows direct access to all the suite's separate features from a no-nonsense menu, where they are grouped according to task.
McAfee has cleverly added the facility to use many of the core features and applications straight from the CD rather than having to install them, which can save valuable disk space. Disk Tune, Disk Minder, McAfee Shredder and Undelete are among the powerful tools that can be run this way. Even better, the disc is bootable, so if you really get into trouble and can't kick Windows into action, you can try to rescue your system using McAfee's specialist tools. Simply start up your computer with the Utilities CD in your machine.
Once again McAfee has improved its utility suite. There are some useful new features and existing ones are easier to use than ever before, making this a wise investment for those who need a helping hand to keep their computer healthy.

Annette John-Hall, in her column in the Philadelphia Inquirer, pledges to tell the stories of people who are working in the trenches to help steer youths away from violence.
Turned on the radio the other day and heard Mayor Nutter fire off his latest salvo in an effort to generate change for the better in Philadelphia:
"I pledge to increase the number of high school graduates," the mayor said. Then he pointedly asked, "What are you prepared to do?"
I'm guessing that's the whole point of the "I Pledge" campaign, a series of public-service announcements featuring politicians, activists, and other notables, heard on hip-hop and R&B radio stations citywide: If everyone actually made a pledge, kept it, and held a neighbor accountable, this thing could go a long way toward fixing what's wrong with the city.
Truth is, it doesn't work that way. If only it could be as easy as uttering magic words to rid Philadelphia of the guns, crime, and hopelessness too many young people live with every day.
I sure don't have the answers. But I do know that a pledge of nonviolence, recorded by some slick-talking disc jockey in a suburban studio miles away from where the violence actually occurs, is just slick talk.
So I pledge to tell stories of the folks on the ground, whose commitment to their communities puts them in a position not only to start figuring out the answers, but also to ask the right questions.
Read Annette John-Hall's complete column at the Philadelphia Inquirer.

The Pink Door
I found this pink door quite intriguing. It's on a street in Lincoln Park, Chicago (seriously, I know, I haven't a clue as to what street we were on .. Nate would know). :) But there was no name on it, or anywhere near it, just this big building made out of wood (or at least the exterior was all wood) and then there was a bright pink door. I like it.
1 comment:
reminds me of this door I saw in Greece - I can't post pics here dammit. It's on this gorgeous island off Venice called Burano.ReplyDelete

FT Property Summit 2017
22nd Nov 2017
Location:Four Seasons Hotel Park Lane, London[+] Add to Google Calendar
[+] Add to Outlook Calendar
The Financial Times is delighted to present the 11th Annual FT Property Summit, organised with the support of Grosvenor. This event will bring together global investors, occupiers, lenders and developers to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing the real estate market post Brexit. At this summit we will highlight major prospects in the sector and debate key trends that will shape the industry now and in the future.
After the UK's decision to leave the EU and the recent result of the UK general election the consequences on the economy remain unclear. The property industry must look at ways to leverage the opportunities and tackle the challenges that ensue. The weakness in the pound is boosting confidence in investment inside and outside the capital, while uncertainty still remains within the financial sector and whether there is a need to relocate to continental Europe. Meanwhile, technology, globalisation and the changing environment of occupiers are reshaping how buildings, retail and leases are being made and used.
In this current era of high political risk should real estate play a larger role in the Brexit negotiations? Has the UK's investment market lost it's appeal? Where is the money coming from and why? Can co-working continue to grow at its current pace? What does that mean for traditional office landlords? What role is data and technology playing in shaping the property sector and what does the future hold for our cities commercial and residential prospects?

Brian Rochefort & Sarah Ann Weber
Opening Saturday, November 12th, 4 - 7 PM
On view through January 15th, 2017 | Wednesdays 6 - 9 PM & by appointment | Closed December 3 - 10 & December 22 - January 3, 2017
Sarah Ann Weber and Brain Rochefort share a tactile, materially-based approach. Both artists sculpt and mold delicate media, resulting in works with a dynamic interplay of color, texture, and depth. They paint and scrape away layers of candy-sweet colors to obscure and reveal voids. Weber's paintings, drawings, and three sculptural works in fondant will be presented alongside Rochefort's ceramic paintings and vessels.
Weber's light, airy studio in Downtown Los Angeles welcomes you with a rich, sweet aroma. It emanates from the melted marshmallows and powdered sugar that she stirs and kneads to create fondant. In fondant, she found a material ripe for experimentation that connected to her heritage—she spent years working at her family's traditional Eastern European bakery on the South Side of Chicago. Weber "leans in" to the sickly sweet of her medium, confronting traditional notions of "woman's work" or "a woman's place" head on.
Her fingernails scratch into the smooth, white surface of the confection thinly rolled onto long panels of glass. Using a soldering iron, she burns, gouges and dashes, caramelizing the edges of the pockmarked sugar to a shiny brown. She then draws over her marks with colored pencil. Swaths of acrylic sink into the fondant like a fresco, reminiscent of the desert landscape surrounding LA. The succinct, frenetic marks are echoed in the expressionist style of Weber's drawings and paintings. In the diptych-style paintings, hints of a figure in moody washes of green-blue and ochre-green peek out from behind short strokes of pastel pinks, baby blues, and Volkswagen yellows.
Rochefort's studio is bright, crisp, and exceptionally clean, the precision of his process echoed in his surroundings. Rochefort uses different types of glazes in one piece, which requires mastering the trick of multiple firings at varying temperatures. In two wall pieces, Rochefort sculpts the clay, blending organic form with geometric abstraction. He then paints primary colors, followed by a crackling white glaze, revealing hints of the color below. The texture resembles desiccated earth, a sight sickeningly familiar to drought-wrought California.
The vessels drip wild acid-tripped colors; the sharp edges and globules could easily cut the lip of anyone who mistakes Rochefort's cups for drinking glasses. Rochefort applies glaze sculpturally, building up surface texture and depth right to the limit of the weight the ceramic can withstand. It's a delicate dance as the structure might buckle under the layers of the glaze and collapse during firing.
Sarah Ann Weber is based in Los Angeles and received her BFA at The Art Institute of Chicago and her MFA at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Her active studio practice includes painting, drawing, and sculpture. She has had solo exhibitions at The Franklin in Chicago and Rena Sternberg Gallery in Glencoe and group exhibitions at The Lodge and Tiger Strikes Asteroid, both in Los Angeles. She is the recipient of a grant from the Joan Mitchell Foundation.
Brian Rochefort is based in LA. He was born and raised in Rhode Island and attended the Rhode Island School of Design. He has exhibited internationally and was awarded the Lillian Fellowship from the Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts in Helena, Montana 2007-2008.

WASHINGTON COUNTY - Sharpsburg auto repair shop owner Bryan Gabriel is excited about Maryland's new health insurance subsidy plan for small businesses.
It means affordable coverage for him and his wife, who share a more expensive policy now, and also for their two B&B Automotive mechanics, who have no such insurance.
"So, usually, medical bills are paid out of your pocket - that's the most expensive health care there is," he said.
Other small business owners are excited, too.
But not Tom McCall of Tom's Accounting Service in Leitersburg.
"It doesn't help me," he said. "You need two or more employees that are working 30 hours or more a week, which I don't have."

Like many fresh fruits and vegetables, crisp heads of cabbage tend to brown quickly once they're cut. That's especially unfortunate in the case of cabbages, which are usually too large to conveniently use up in one meal. Whether you're preserving a large cut piece of cabbage, or a quantity of sliced cabbage, the enzymes that cause browning can be thwarted by a few simple and well-proven measures.
A Cut Cabbage
Step 1
Peel back any wilted or browned outer leaves, and discard them. Cut the portion of cabbage you'll need for immediate use with a sharp, thin-bladed knife, and set it aside.
Step 2
Cut a slice from the thick portion of a lemon. Rub the lemon slice over the exposed edge where the cabbage was cut, covering it thoroughly with the acidic lemon juice.
Step 3
Wrap the cut surface of the cabbage tightly with plastic cling film, making an airtight seal. Put the cabbage into the fridge.
Sliced Cabbage
Step 1
Squeeze the juice from a lemon into a small bowl. Remove any pips that are in the juice.
Step 2
Place your sliced or shredded cabbage into a large bowl, one that provides room to toss the cut greens.
Step 3
Pour the lemon juice over the cut cabbage, and then toss the vegetable thoroughly with wooden spoons, salad servers, or your own gloved or scrupulously-washed hands.
Step 4
Cover the bowl tightly using with plastic cling film, once the cabbage is thoroughly coated with lemon juice. Refrigerate the sliced cabbage, and use it within three days for the best results.

Mission Statement and Guiding Principles
The Banjo Setup Web Pages
To clear up any misgivings and/or misunderstandings that anyone may have about the material posted on these pages, I have decided to post the following statements.
Mission Statement
The purpose of the Banjo Setup Web Pages is to gather and disseminate information on the subject of banjo construction and setup with the goal of discovering and teaching the various ways to produce different sounds from banjos. The material is here so that people who want a specific sound from their instruments may find ways of achieving their goals. Information is gathered at my own expense and is distributed freely. Ideas are welcomed. If there are proprietary details of a method, system or principle, they are respected and not distributed without permission.
Guiding Principles
I am not compensated in any way for the information I distribute. In most cases, I purchase the items tested. From time to time, someone will send me something to test, but I prefer to purchase these things myself. I do not work for any banjo dealer or manufacturer. NOBODY pays me to test a product.
I do know many of the people whose products I test. This is inevitable. The world of the banjo is small. If I test a product that is made by someone I know, I apply the same exacting standards to it that I would to the products of other people. If I feel that a product is not up to the claims of the manufacturer, I will either contact the manufacturer and explain the problem or I will simply not review the product. If a product is listed here as inferior or not up to the claims of the maker or distributor, it means that I have gone through a lengthy process of discussion of the situation, and the matter has not been settled in a way that I consider to be proper.
All the information on this site is based on my own observations, except where otherwise indicated. All information is my personal opinion.
My motiviation for these pages is purely selfish. I love the banjo, and I want to have the best sounding banjo in the world. By reviewing these products, I receive suggestions from those who read these pages, and I learn more about the banjo. Because I want more information, I share it with you.
I also feel that I should share information, so that valuable secrets of banjo construction and setup do not need to be rediscovered every time there is an upsurge in interest in the instrument. This way, the next selfish person out there will not have to go through what I did.

"We have mentioned several times how important it is to us, and how grateful we are, to have a number of fantastic sponsors. So, as well as having their company logo and details on our car, we have added them to our race rig too. This is the truck that has been "built" in house by myself and the team to carry the car and equipment, as well as keep us in shelter and comfort whilst at the track.
The truck has just been repainted after the modifications, so we have a nice big available space for our team livery (coming soon) and of course to attract more sponsors. We definitely get great exposure for the team and our sponsors whilst at the track, through the website you are reading now, and even more now with the available space on the truck that can be seen at the track, as well as on the open road.
Let us know if we can help you advertise your business by contacting us.
Thanks again everyone…"

WASHINGTON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Four years ago, Veronica Katulushi bought a small parcel of land on the outskirts of Lusaka and started to build the home in which she planned to retire.
As she saved money, the house grew until the walls were head-high, and Katulushi began thinking of putting on a roof and moving in.
But then, in a chaotic period ahead of Zambia's national elections in August 2016, Katulushi, 60, got a call in the middle of the night.
"Veronica, there's chaos here," she recalled a voice telling her from the site of her future home.
"Some people [want to] develop the land," she was told, as bulldozers were tearing down houses. Some 200 houses in the area were being demolished and Katulushi's was the first.
The small parcel of land she had bought from a neighbor had never been formally registered with the authorities, and while Katulushi had a letter from the farmer confirming the sale, she had no title deed to prove ownership.
The case eventually went to court, and Katulushi and the other residents were able to get her land back. They are now in the process of getting formal titles through the Lands Ministry.
But a year and a half later, her retirement house remains unbuilt, and there is no compensation on the horizon, she told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
Examples such as Katulushi's have spurred important but scattershot initiatives over the years to improve land tenure security.
What has been missing, experts say, has been a unified effort to collect experiences such as Katulushi's and use them to track the issue of insecure tenure globally.
"For land rights, there is no primary data at the global level. There are expert opinions, surveys, administrative data, but there's no primary data - data that comes from actual people," said Diana Fletschner, a senior director at Landesa, an advocacy group based in Seattle.
"If we get this data, it will completely transform how this sector operates," she said.
This transformation could now be in its early stages, after a meeting of governments and experts late last year gave a green light to the foremost effort to establish a global measure of secure tenure.
It means national governments will now start gathering data that has never before existed.
The data push began around five years ago, when advocates decided to link their efforts with the process to develop the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a 15-year anti-poverty framework adopted in 2015 by 193 countries.
Because of that work, three parts of the SDGs include a focus on land and tenure.
But while the 17 goals were adopted more than two years ago, detailed work continues on hundreds of indicators - metrics that national governments will gather to track progress.
For a long time, the tenure indicators were seen as particularly problematic, in danger even of being pushed aside.
"The reason for this low ranking was because there was no data, which was the entire reason we're doing this," said Fletschner.
But a November 2017 meeting of the expert group that is overseeing work on the SDG indicators kicked off an important new phase of testing.
This continues a longer trend, as land and tenure have received increasing attention in recent years as undergirding a range of development concerns.
"Addressing poverty, climate change, food security, investment, peace and stability — for all of these, you need to have a sound land governance system," said Oumar Sylla, unit leader with an alliance called the Global Land Tool Network.
As yet, Sylla says, some 70 percent of land in developing countries remains outside of the formal, public account of land ownership and value.
To start with, the main indicator under discussion would track "the proportion of total adult population with secure tenure rights to land, with legally recognized documentation".
But it also goes two major steps further - to record how households "perceive their rights to land as secure", and then to break those numbers down by sex and type of tenure.
By focusing on perception rather than solely on legal documents, any related monitoring will include traditional land-ownership systems that continue to dominate in many parts of the world.
Governments also will need to break down these statistics by sex, driven by the realization the tenure security of a woman often can be dramatically different from that of her household, the level at which national surveys usually record information.
While a woman can be secure in her property when she is part of a male-headed household, that can change quickly, for instance, if her husband dies and she lives in a country where authorities record only the name of a male head of household.
A similar situation could arise if the couple divorces, or the man takes a second wife, or in countries where laws don't allow women to inherit land.
Some organizations have started to focus on how people perceive their own tenure security.
Perhaps the largest such effort, the Global Property Rights Index (PRIndex), is aiming to release data for more than 30 countries by the end of the year.
The PRIndex aims to bolster the broader SDGs framework by assisting in efforts to measure global progress around perception.
Nearly 30 percent of people in Colombia and Tanzania reported feeling insecure regarding tenure issues on the property where they live, according to a report released on Monday by PRIndex, as do a quarter of people in India.
In several scenarios, women reported feeling especially insecure, according to the PRIndex, an initiative by Omidyar Network (which has partnered with the Thomson Reuters Foundation on land rights coverage) and the UK's Department for International Development.
The PRIndex findings from these three countries also showed perceptions of tenure insecurity tended to be especially high in cities, as was the case in India and Tanzania.
The SDGs address this issue, for the first time giving equal weight to tenure issues in both rural and urban areas.
Even as the past decade has seen steadily increasing focus on such issues globally, the conversation has been "very silent on the importance of land in urbanization," the Global Land Tool Network's Sylla said.
"Now we can measure in rural and urban settings," he said.
Gathering data ensures an issue remains on a government's radar, but it also offers a mechanism by which to advocate and demand accountability.
"We work in housing and try to bring people out of poverty, and tenure and land issues is one of the most important challenges that our network faces," said Jane Katz of non-profit Habitat for Humanity International.
"If you don't have secure land under that housing, you can't build that housing," she said.
By 2019, supporters of the new SDGs effort hope to have half of all countries reporting on tenure security.

15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership
The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership is a transformative book about becoming a transformational leader, committed to learning, growth, integrity, and curiosity. Conscious leaders are more effective at their jobs and enjoy themselves more in the process. Highly recommended!
Excerpt from Amazon.com:
You'll never see leadership the same way again after reading this book. These fifteen commitments are a distillation of decades of work with CEOs and other leaders. They are radical or provocative for many. They have been game changers for us and for our clients. We trust that they will be for you too. Our experience is that unconscious leadership is not sustainable. It won't work for you, your team or your organization in the long term. Unconscious leadership can deliver short term results, but the costs of living and leading unconsciously are great. Fear drives most leaders to make choices that are at odds with healthy relationships, vitality and balance. This fear leaves a toxic residue that won't be as easily tolerated in an increasingly complex business environment. Conscious leadership offers the antidote to fear. These pages contain a comprehensive road map to guide you to shift from fear-based to trust-based leadership.

Virtual Reality Advanced Boiling Water Reactor Simulator
There is a huge opportunity to use Virtual Reality (VR) to help people understand the Boiling Water Reactor. Through using VR, users would be able to walk around, see how the BWR works, interact with it, and become excited about its function and technology, through the excitement of the VR experience itself.
This feasibility study aims to develop a prototype HMD-based VR demonstration of an ABWR facility. It aims to present to the user 3D simulations of how an Advanced Boiling Water Reactor works. By providing this immersive demonstration, users can learn about this technology, its significance, explore the facility virtually and learn about the potential of nuclear power in an immersive, interactive and highly engaging manner. The prototype will be designed from the outset to be extensible and adaptable to include additional information in the future, such as data-driven informational annotations and immersive visual analytics.

Learning about the signs and symptoms that are associated with prostate cancer can be an effective way to take the best case of prevention and early treatment of the common type of cancer in men over fifty years of age.
There are many signs that are associated with prostate cancer you should be aware of – especially in the case that you are at increased risk.
Here are some of the signs and symptoms that should be watched for in the case that you fall under the
- Difficulty stopping urination or starting urination is one of the main symptoms that is associated with prostate cancer. In most cases, the patient feels the urge to urinate but they are unable to product any urine. In other cases, the patient is unable to stop the flow of urination once it has begun or they experience dribbling of the urine even after the flow has stopped.
- Any pain that is associated with urination is a common indicator of an enlarged prostate which can be associated with prostate cancer.
- Blood in the urine, or blood in the semen can be an indication of prostate cancer and should not be taken lightly. It is important to see a physician promptly in the case that there is blood in the urine or blood in the semen.
- Frequent urination can be one of the symptoms that are associated with prostate cancer or other symptoms of prostate cancer, including an enlarged prostate. This can often occur through the night and cause disruptions within the sleep patterns. As this occurs through the night, this is often one of the trigger symptoms that men notice and this causes them to seek medical attention.
- Pain that can occur through the hips and lower back are often associated with an enlarged prostate as well as being associated with prostate cancer. Unexplained pain and tenderness through these areas are often signs of trouble when they are combined with the various other signs and symptoms which are associated with prostate problems.
- Difficulty maintaining an erection. As well as difficulty maintaining an erection, many men find that they cannot obtain the erection in the first place because of the enlarged prostate.
Knowing the symptoms that are associated with prostate cancer is the main aspect of taking part in early treatment that can help to reduce the implications on the body.
As well as the signs and symptoms, it is important to be aware of the risk factors that can be seen for prostate cancer. Learning the risk factors enable you to associate signs and symptoms with the appropriate risk factor.
- Being overweight
– Consuming a high-fat diet
– Family history of Prostate Cancer
– Being African American Descent
– Smoking
– Being over the age of fifty
It is important to undergo screening in the case that you are in any of the groups that are considered high risk, as well as in the case that you are experiencing any of the signs and symptoms that are associated with prostate cancer.
A simple rectal exam and blood test are two measures which can help to screen for prostate cancer and allow for early detection in the case of positive results for cancer cells.

Bipolar Disorder. When people with bipolar disorder feel very happy and "up," they are also much more active than usual. This is called mania.
- Stephany Jennings
- 2 years ago
- Views:
1 Bipolar Disorder Introduction Bipolar disorder is a serious mental disorder. People who have bipolar disorder feel very happy and energized some days, and very sad and depressed on other days. Abnormal and risky behaviors caused by mood swings can cause people affected by bipolar disorder to lose jobs, friends, and money. It can also lead to substance abuse and addiction. In some cases, it may lead to suicide. It is estimated that up to 2% of the population may have bipolar disorder. If not treated, bipolar disorder keeps getting worse as the mood shift becomes frequent and more severe. If treated, it can be managed and people can lead successful lives. This reference summary explains to patients and caregivers what bipolar disorder is. It discusses its symptoms, causes, diagnosis, and treatment options. Bipolar Disorder Bipolar disorder is a serious brain disorder. People with bipolar disorder go through unusual mood changes from very happy to very sad and depressed. Bipolar disorder is also called manic-depressive illness. It is normal for people to experience some emotional ups and downs from time to time. However, for people with bipolar disorder, the mood swings are much more powerful than the normal ups and downs everyone has. When people with bipolar disorder feel very happy and "up," they are also much more active than usual. This is called mania. 1
2 Mania can be euphoric, where the person feels extremely optimistic, powerful, and energetic. It can also be dysphoric, where the person feels irritable, agitated and impatient. During a manic stage or episode, the patient has unrealistically elevated self-regard, which can result in risky behavior with disastrous consequences. Examples are gambling, unsafe sex, and impulsive spending on credit cards. When people with bipolar disorder feel very sad and "down," they are much less active. This is called depression. They become tired, don t sleep well, and cannot concentrate or make decisions. In some cases, patients may think of hurting themselves or committing suicide. The intense emotional states of mania and depression that people with bipolar disorder go through are called "mood episodes." Sometimes, a mood episode includes symptoms of both mania and depression. This is called a mixed state. For instance, in a mixed state the person may feel very sad or hopeless while feeling extremely energized. Bipolar disorder usually lasts a lifetime. Episodes of mania and depression typically come back over time. Between episodes, many people with bipolar disorder are free of symptoms, but some people may have lingering symptoms. Anyone can develop bipolar disorder. It often starts in a person's late teen or early adult years. But children and adults can have bipolar disorder too. The illness usually lasts a lifetime. Anxiety disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and social phobia, often affect people with bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder may also accompany a case of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). These disorders have symptoms that may overlap with those of bipolar disorder, making it more difficult to diagnose bipolar disorder. 2
3 Causes Scientists are learning about the possible causes of bipolar disorder. Most scientists agree that there is no single cause. Instead, many factors likely act together to produce the illness or increase risk. Children with a parent or sibling who has bipolar disorder are about five times more likely to develop the illness, compared with children who do not have a family history of bipolar disorder. However, most children with a family history of bipolar disorder will not develop the illness. The causes of bipolar disorder aren't very well understood. There are other factors beyond family history that seem to play a role. Some studies show that certain structures and functions of the brain of people with bipolar disorder seem to be different. Symptoms Bipolar mood changes are called "mood episodes." People may have manic episodes, depressive episodes, or "mixed" episodes. A mood episode is usually preceded by a lack of sleep or early morning waking. Recognizing a change in sleeping patterns can help predict a mood episode. Mood episodes are intense. The feelings are strong and happen along with extreme changes in behavior. These mood episodes cause symptoms that last a week or two, sometimes longer. During an episode, the symptoms last every day for most of the day. During a manic episode, people with bipolar disorder may: Feel very "up" or "high", an overly happy outgoing mood Feel "jumpy" or "wired" Feel extremely irritable and agitated 3
4 Behaviors change during a manic episode. People with bipolar disorder may: Talk really fast and not stay on topic. Have trouble relaxing or sleeping Think they can do a lot of things at once Are more active than usual. Take on new big projects During a manic episode, people with bipolar disorder may be impulsive and reckless. They may: Do things impulsively Spend or invest a lot of money without careful planning Have reckless sex or do pleasurable behaviors without thinking of the consequence During a depressive episode, people with bipolar disorder may: Feel very "down" or sad, Feel worried and empty Feel less interest in activities they used to enjoy Feel tired or slowed down The behaviors during a depressive episode change. People with bipolar disorder may: Have trouble concentrating and making decisions Forget things a lot Lose interest in fun activities and become less active Have trouble sleeping During a depressive episode, people with bipolar disorder may think about death, suicide or inflicting self-harm. During a mixed state, symptoms often include agitation, trouble sleeping, major changes in appetite, and suicidal thoughts. People in a mixed state may feel very sad or hopeless while feeling extremely energized. Sometimes, psychotic symptoms may develop, such as hallucinations or delusions. The psychotic symptoms often reflect the person's extreme mood. For example, 4
5 psychotic symptoms for a person having a manic episode may include believing he or she is famous, has a lot of money, or has special powers. In the same way, a person having a depressive episode may believe he or she is ruined and penniless, or has committed a crime. Episodes of bipolar disorder may be severe, short, or frequent. Episodes of mania and depression may be mild. A mild manic episode is known as hypomania. Episodes of bipolar disorder may be separated by long or short periods of normal mood. In some cases, there may never be a normal mood, but a chronic low-grade high or low. Because of the different patterns of bipolar disease, doctors call the illness Bipolar Spectrum Disorders. When to See a Doctor It is important to treat bipolar disorder early so it does not get worse and affect family, friends, work, finances and health. However, it is not always easy to distinguish the signs of bipolar disorder. In cases of full-blown manic episodes, the patient may feel it and know about it. These patients lose jobs, friends and often need hospitalization. If you or your loved one have a manic episode, seek medical help without delay. It is more difficult to distinguish a mild manic episode from normal feeling good moods. Feeling good for two days after achieving success at school or work is normal. If it is followed by depression, it is not. Frequent periods of intense happiness followed by intense sadness are not normal. If this cycle of ups and downs happens more than once, it is not normal and you should seek medical help. Many people with bipolar disorder seek medical help when they feel depressed. If they do not observe their mood swings and communicate them well to their doctor, they may be misdiagnosed with depression. A misdiagnosis can cause problems related to treatment. 5
6 The treatment of bipolar disorder is different than that of depression. The use of mood stabilizing medication is important when using anti-depressant medication. Using antidepressants without a mood stabilizer to treat bipolar disorder could make the illness worse. Diagnosis Bipolar disorder cannot currently be identified through a blood test or a brain scan, but these tests can help rule out other diseases that can produce similar symptoms, such as a stroke, head trauma or a brain tumor. If the problems are not caused by other illnesses, the doctor may conduct a mental health evaluation. The doctor may also provide a referral to a trained mental health professional, such as a psychiatrist, who is experienced in diagnosing and treating bipolar disorder. Other illnesses can make it hard to diagnose and treat bipolar disorder. A doctor may think the person has a different illness, like depression and schizophrenia. People with depression do not have mania. People with schizophrenia have hallucination and delusions, which can be symptoms in some cases of bipolar disorder. The doctor or mental health professional should get a complete history of symptoms and the family medical history. The patient and the patient s family should be ready to answer questions related to their emotional and social wellbeing. If the doctor diagnoses bipolar disorder, he or she tries to determine its type. There are several types of bipolar disorder. They differ by the length, intensity, and frequency of the episodes as well as the period of normal mood between the episodes. Bipolar I Disorder is characterized by severe highs and severe lows. Bipolar II Disorder is characterized by mild highs and severe lows. Though the highs are mild, bipolar II disorders are serious because they come with severe depression and can transform into the more severe type I if not treated. 6
7 Cyclothymic Disorder is characterized by frequent, continuous mild highs and mild lows. Some people may be diagnosed with Rapid-Cycling Bipolar Disorder. This is when a person has four or more episodes of major depression, mania, hypomania, or mixed symptoms within a year. Some people with rapid-cycling bipolar disorder experience more than one episode in a week, or even within a day. Children and adolescents who have bipolar disorder are more likely than adults to have this type. Treatment Right now, there is no cure for bipolar disorder. But medications and psychotherapy can help control the symptoms of most people with bipolar disorder. Other treatment options are available if medications and psychotherapy do not help. Different types of medication can help reduce symptoms and prevent recurrence of episodes. People respond to medications in different ways, so the type of medication depends on the patient. Sometimes a person needs to try different medications to see which are best. Medications can cause side effects. Patients should always tell their doctor about these problems. Also, patients should not stop taking a medication without a doctor's help. Stopping medication suddenly can be dangerous, and it can make bipolar symptoms worse. Different kinds of psychotherapy can help people with bipolar disorder. During psychotherapy a trained professional talks with the patient and sometimes with the patient s parents. The aim is to identify what triggers mood swings and determine how they can be minimized and controlled. 7
8 Psychotherapy can help patients and their families change their behavior to reduce mood swings. It can also help patients get along better with family and friends. Some people do not get better with medication and psychotherapy. These people may try "electroconvulsive therapy," or ECT. This is sometimes called "shock" therapy. ECT provides a quick "shock" that can sometimes correct problems in the brain. Sometimes people take herbal and natural supplements, such as St. John's wort or omega-3 fatty acids, to help with bipolar disorder. Talk with your doctor before taking any supplement. Scientists aren't sure how these products affect people with bipolar disorder. Summary Bipolar disorder is a serious mental illness that causes intense mood swings. People with bipolar disorder experience mood episodes that range from overly energetic and/or irritable, to sad and hopeless, and then back again. They often have normal moods in between. The up feeling is called mania. The down feeling is depression. Bipolar disorder can run in families. It usually starts in late adolescence or early adulthood. If you think you may have it, tell your health care provider. A medical checkup can rule out other illnesses that might cause your mood changes. Untreated, bipolar disorder can result in damaged relationships, poor job or school performance, and even suicide. However, there are effective treatments. A combination of medications and psychotherapy usually work best. 8
