"Victor? Are you not going to answer me?"
He looked at Helen for a long moment. "Do you really want to know what I want?"
"I wouldn't have asked if I didn't," she replied, tilting her head to the side again and she smiled.
He liked when she did that; tilting her head as if signaling she was ready to be kissed and happy for the privilege. He looked down to her lips. Her pretty, smiling, glossy pink lips, tempted him for a taste, but before he indulged in that, he needed to find out a few things, or rather, he needed to explain to her what he required.
"Would you like to step out onto the patio?" he asked.
Her smile broadened. "You wouldn't be trying to get out of our dance, I hope. Cuz if you are, you'll get none of my dessert and I'll take all of yours!"
He chuckled and shook his head. "We can dance all night if you like, or at least until the babysitter expects you back."
"Oh, I'm pretty sure Mrs. Silverstone is already sound asleep with her crochet hook in hand and a ball of yarn at her feet, and my girls are pigging out on her freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and will soon be snoozing away too, so no one is expecting me back too soon."
"I see," he said, reading between the lines. "Okay, we'll dance until your tiramisu starts beckoning. Then over dessert I'll give you my answer. That sound all right?"
She laughed. "Okay," she said, wrapping her arms around his neck. "But I warn you up front, Victor. I'm hearing nothing but music right now."
"Good," he said and he twirled her around, dipped her and straightened her up again.
"God, I love that!" she said. "It's better than a roller coaster ride."
He laughed and they continued dancing.
"Oh, he's precious," Violet said pressing a tiny kiss to the top of her brand new nephew's tender head. She softly passed a hand over his silky, blond hair which stuck up like a punk rocker—just like Richard's did. She smiled wistfully. "I remember when Kenny was this little…a million years ago."
Laurie laughed. "Not that bad, but they do grow up so fast," she said, detaching the baby from her breast and bringing him up to her shoulder. "Seems like decades since Molly was this little." She rubbed his back until a tiny burp erupted.
Violet giggled. "I love when they do that," she said, watching as Laurie settled him to her other breast and he searched for it and clamped onto it as if he was still starving.
"My goodness, this kid never gets full," Laurie said, surprised at such voracious suckling. She smiled at the baby, then settled back and looked at Violet. "How are you, Violet? How did you like your weekend trip to the falls? We haven't seen much of you since then."
Violet gaped at her. "How in the world did you know about that?"
"Well, Victor came by and told us you were going. He wanted to make sure I was well looked after while he was gone. He arranged for the mother's helper to come here while I was on bed-rest. He insisted. God, I love that man! He's such a sweetie," Laurie said, looking down at the baby for a second then looking up again. Her smile vanished upon seeing the stricken expression on Violet's face. "Violet, what's wrong?"
Violet shook her head and turned to a basket of clean laundry and started folding it, her face averted.
"Oh, Violet, you are upset about the name!" Laurie said. "I told Freddy to ask you first."
"No, I'm not…not at all," Violet said, blinking back tears before turning back to her sister-in-law. "Richard would be so honored. He'd love his little nephew, his namesake."
"We can call him by his middle name if you'd rather. Ashton would be fine, even if Freddy thinks it's too Hollywood for Catalpa Valley," Laurie said. "I just don't want it to upset you."
"I'm not, Laurie, really," Violet said. Again she caressed the baby's soft hair and smiled sadly. "It'll be nice to have another Richie around."
"With the blond hair and blue eyes, it just fits," Laurie said. "He sorta looks like Richie…like big Richie."
Violet suppressed a laugh. The baby looked exactly like Laurie, but she wasn't about to point this out to her sentimental sister-in-law. "I'm just glad he's healthy. We were so worried he'd be born premature and with that comes trouble."
"That's why Victor came by almost every day, just to make sure I wasn't doing what I shouldn't have been doing…which apparently was everything! He actually yelled at me when he caught me tying Molly's shoes. Really, he was as bad as Freddy, maybe worse!"
"Believe me, I know," Violet muttered, returning to the laundry.
"Seems he's been like that ever since his mother's sudden death. He blames himself, you know."
"Why?" Violet asked.
Laurie shrugged. "He figures he should have…known or done something. I dunno," she said.
"Like force her to visit a doctor," Violet said, as she rolled up a pair of Jimmy's socks and put them on his pile.
"Yeah, exactly!" Laurie said. "He still misses her so much… like you miss Richie. That's one thing you have in common."
"Yes, one thing," Violet said, biting down on her lip to keep the tears back. "Laurie, may I ask you something?"
"Sure," she replied. "But I won't give up my baby Richie. I wuv him too much!" she then giggled.
Violet forced a laugh. "No, didn't think you would. I was just wondering… would you say Freddy is your best friend?"
"Freddy?" Laurie said, genuinely astonished. "Gosh, no! He's my husband."
Violet bit back the impatient retort which sprung to her lips and mildly said, "Yes, I know that, but…you're very close. You tell each other everything, right?"
"Well, I didn't know how he would feel about having a fifth kid so…no, I didn't tell him right away," Laurie said. "If he was truly a best friend, I would have told him first and I didn't. I told Darlene instead. She's my best friend. I tell her everything."
"Just like Jocelyn is mine," Violet mumbled, a worried crease on her brow as she folded a pair of jeans which must belong to Nick. She, however, didn't really tell Jocelyn everything, she realized just then. Richard had been her one and only true confidant. The closest she had to that now was…
"But…don't you at least consider him a friend?" Violet said, somewhat earnestly.
Laurie laughed and shook her head. "Not really," she said, then her smile vanished. "I guess you and Richie were, huh? Oh, how sad for you! I never thought of that. You didn't just lose a husband, but your best friend, too. Oh, Violet, I'm so sorry."
Violet hid her face behind a sheet as she folded it. "It…it's okay. I have a new…uh, I mean, Jocelyn is always there for me," she mumbled, lying through her teeth and trying not to cry. Since the Labor day party, she hadn't seen hide nor hair of Jocelyn. She'd been consumed by Marcus, but of course, Violet would never begrudge her friend some fun.
Violet thought she had one very close friend, but it seemed she had none.
"Aunt Violet!" Molly shouted and ran to her, hugging her tightly. "You come to see Da baby? Isn't he cute?"
Violet smiled and kissed her niece's forehead. "And to see you. You've grown so much, Molly," she said.
"I'm a big sister now," she said proudly.
"I know! How wonderful," Violet said. "You look so pretty today. Where were you?"
"Lisa Panfield's birthday party. She had a Victorian high tea and no boys allowed!" she said importantly.
"Oh, how lovely. I'm sure the boys missed something very special," Violet said.
"Uh-huh," Molly replied and she ran off just as her father walked in.
"Yeah, ten chattering females in fancy garb, with their mothers there doing the same, having tea and cakes and tiny sandwiches and I wasn't allowed even a nibble. I thought I was gonna die!" Freddy said, coming in looking exhausted and plopping down next to his wife and the baby, which he kissed on top of the head. "Hey, kid, don't get too attached to those things. They were mine first. I'm just letting you borrow them for a while."
"Oh, shush!" Laurie said. "You men and boobs!"
"Yes, men like boobs. What's your point?" Freddy said, kissing her cheek. He smiled at her and added, "Isn't Laurie the most beautiful girl ever, Violet?"
"Absolutely!" she replied, hiding her smile behind a towel as she folded it. Her brother always asked her that after each child of theirs was born, so she knew what was expected and she never disappointed. "You're the luckiest man in the world, Freddy, but I think you know that."
"I sure do," he said, with a sigh. "So, how are you, Vi?"
"Fine," she said. "but I should be going home. Dinner's in the oven. Just needs to be heated. Now Laurie doesn't have to bother. I know how it is with a little one, even if I don't remember it much."
"You're the best, Vi," Freddy said. "Why don't you stay and eat with us?"
"I have some stuff to finish up for the Halloween party," Violet said folding the last t-shirt and placing it on Valerie's pile. "Oh, I suppose you won't be able to make it now that the baby's here."
"And have Molly and Jimmy scream bloody murder?" Freddy said, shaking his head. "We'll be there."
"Good," Violet said, forcing a smile as she rose from her seat. "I'll see you then."
Freddy watched her with a furrowed brow. He waited until he heard the front door close behind her to ask, "Did she seen okay to you?"
"Not really. I think she might be upset about us naming the baby after Richie," Laurie said, bringing the baby up to her shoulder to burp him again. "She said she wasn't but… I dunno."
"No, I doubt that was it. Could it be Victor, you think? Maybe they had a fight," he said.
"No way! They're so good together and they did go away for the weekend together. I think things are moving along nicely," she said smiling. "Really soon they will be announcing an engagement, I'm sure of it!"
Freddy, on the other hand, was not so confident.
"Oh, Victor, you are such a great dancer," Helen gushed, as they went back to their table and their waiting desserts. "I can truthfully say this is the best date I've ever been on."
Victor tried not to show his surprise and utter dismay. This was hardly his best date, not by a long shot. Yes, he was enjoying himself but this was nothing compared to…oh, there he goes again, thinking of Violet!
"Surely not. You're just dizzy from all the twirling about," he said casually. "It leads to feelings of euphoria, you know, dancing does. That's why men insist on it."
She laughed. "Nope. I can go ten rounds with the nastiest, topsy-turvy, spinning ride at any amusement park, so no, I'm perfectly fine in the head," she said, grinning up at him. "I'm having the time of my life, I assure you."
"I'm glad," he replied, forcing a smile, as he held her chair out for her.
"So," she said, propping her chin on her hand, her head tilted to the side again.
"Oh, yes," he said taking a sip of water, stalling for time. "Yes, I'm having a wonderful time, too."
"No, I mean, you promised to tell me what it is you want," she said, picking up her fork, taking a bit of her tiramisu and holding it out for him.
He raised both eyebrows. "Are you quite sure you're not dizzy and disoriented? You're offering me the first taste of your coveted dessert, after all. That is a sure sign of …well, close to insanity."
She threw her head back and laughed. "You may be right, but let's just say I'm in an especially generous mood due to you, so you definitely deserve this. Come on, Victor, have some."
He bit down on the fork and couldn't help recalling doing this very thing only a million times with Violet, but he couldn't imagine why it didn't fill him with joy this time. Actually he could. He just didn't want to admit it.
"Very nice. Thank you, Helen," he said.
She studied him again. "Something has upset you. Was it something I said?"
"Not at all," he said, stalling for time again. He picked up his own fork and brought up the first bit of cake for her to try, but she gently pushed his hand away from her mouth.
"I think I can guess what you want," she said, tilting her head to the side with a sad smile on her face.
"Oh, I very much doubt that," he muttered and he stuffed his mouth with cake.
"Do you? Well, then tell me. I'd rather hear what you have to say first anyway," she said. "And do try for that honesty thing, please. It's been working so well for us, surprisingly enough."
He dropped his fork and put both elbows on the table before taking a moment to stare at her. "Brace yourself, Helen. This might get rough."
Her eyes widened, but then she giggled. "This I have to hear! Go on, tell me."
He cleared his throat, took a deep breath then said, "I want…everything. I want… love," he said, then cleared his throat again and looked down at the table.
Helen stared in fascination. "Is that all?" she whispered.
"Hardly. I'm just getting started," he said, looking back at her. "I want a loving wife beside me come what may. One who won't balk whenever I show her affection and shower her with gifts, and yes, I will do both to excess. It's my thing. I want a wife who will love me for me. I want her to love my kids as much as I will love hers. In other words, I want happily ever after in real life. So, what do you think? Is that too much to ask?"
Helen stared in silence, her breathing short and quick, her heart racing. She shook her head. "No, not too much to ask. I'm pretty sure everybody wants happily ever after in one form or another. I know I do."
"The trick is to want the same things in the same proportions, I think. That's the hard part. We both have baggage, you know," he said, licking his lips nervously before plunging ahead. "I also need a mother for my children."
She looked her confusion for a moment then smiled. "I wouldn't call college boys children, Victor, especially when they already have a mother still alive and well."
He cleared his throat again, fleetingly wondering why he had a frog in there at this crucial moment. "I'm adopting," he said, barely above a whisper.
Helen gaped, her mouth hanging open. "Like…before you… you know…find a wife?"
If he could only get rid of this frog in his throat he might get this over and done more quickly. "Yes, by the year's end I will have them."
"Them?" she shrieked. "You're adopting more than one kid?"
"They're siblings and I can't separate them," he said earnestly. "There's Georgiana, she's a darling, smart as a whip and pretty as can be, mature for her age, about the same age as you Bethany but perhaps more like Regina in maturity. She had to grow up fast when her mama died. She's practically mother to her two younger brothers. Julian is just turned seven and he's a nice boy, so kind and trustworthy. Then there's Peter." Victor shook his head and smiled wistfully. "I love that kid best of all. He's so sweet and loving. You'd love him on first sight…I think."
"Three kids," she said, her eyes as wide as they would go. She swallowed hard. "I can barely handle my two."
"But you have no help now. I'm a hands-on kinda dad. I change diapers, read bedtime stories, help with homework, give baths and everything in between."
"Change diapers?" she shrieked. "Peter is a baby then?"
"No, he's four, but…" Victor said slowly, getting ready to drop the last of his dozen shoes. "I also would like to have another child…make a baby with my loving wife and make her truly the mother of my children, all my children. Sort of a … a seal the deal act, bounding the separate families into one."
She stared at him for a long moment, then slowly smiled and placed a hand on his and in a coaxing sort of voice, said, "Wouldn't it be better to just make our own kids?"
He bristled and withdrew his hand. "You mean abandon Julian, Georgiana and Peter? No, I won't do that. They are mine already, even if the law doesn't say so as of yet. They are as much mine already as Bethany and Regina are yours."
Helen nodded. "Okay, I see. This is…this is what you want. Okay," she said softly.
"Don't think of this as a proposal, Helen. You wanted to know what I want out of dating, so I told you," he said, trying for casual. "We have time, we need time to get to know each other and see if we can… if we fit together well….all the pieces."
She nodded and actually smiled. "You are something, Victor. I've never had so much honesty in my life, let alone on one first date," she said, seemingly dazed from all this information. Then she drew in a deep, calming breath and smiled again. "This is a lot to absorb, but I am very willing to give it a try, if you are. When can we all meet?"
Stunned, Victor just stared. That was not what he expected to hear. "Well," he said, again with the clearing throat, "I was taking the kids to a play on Saturday. Catalpa Valley high school kids are putting on Beauty and the Beast. Would your girls like to go?"
She laughed. "They'd love it and so will I."
"Very good," he said, a sudden pressure on his chest, and for some strange reason his neck tie seemed to be choking him.
"Are you sure? I'm all in for this and I'm going to give this my all, but I need to know. Are you really all in, Victor?"
Good question!
Victor gulped, fleetingly wondering why he suddenly felt as if he was hanging off the edge of a cliff.

18 Feb The Extraordinary Power of Education
Lilian's journey and work at the Primary Education Project (PEP) in Pakistan have been nothing short of extraordinary and this recent testimony from a student makes her work all the more powerful. Hers is a story of the extraordinary power of educating one ordinary girl…
Maya (not her real name) comes from a small village where higher education for girls is not encouraged. She began studying in 2004 in her village school that was started by PEP and is now a college student. Most of the girls in her village dropped out after primary education and Maya faced more than her share of difficulties pursuing her education.
After passing the eighth-grade exams, her parents wanted her to stay at home but her teacher persuaded them to allow her to take admission for ninth grade. Maya successfully passed the matriculation exam with an A grade. She was then selected as a Women Empowerment Group (WEG) Mobilizer and has attended a few PEP workshops that increased her knowledge, and developed her confidence to lead other WEG members.
Maya soon began sharing her training and knowledge with other young women. Even though she faced lots of difficulties, she managed to motivate other women to participate regularly and realize that they have an important role to play in community development. She also helped teach and increase their awareness of various social issues.
By teaching other women on various issues such as savings, personal hygiene and the importance of education for young girls, Maya has noticed a significant change in her village. More young girls have begun to attend school regularly; women are keeping their homes cleaner, and mothers are encouraging their children to go to school. The women have learnt a lot about saving – not only money but also saving resources such as electricity, water, food, time and etc.
Many women from Maya's village have now started to use latrines and avoid open defecation. In fact, 13 women in the village have built their own pit latrines from their own savings! The Women Empowerment Programme has taught them a lot about social issues and women rights, whilst increasing their knowledge and confidence. Maya's hope is to continue her education all the way to university so she can achieve her dream of completing her Masters in Physics and become a Lecturer.
Please Pray:
- For the security concerns in Pakistan, as the team at PEP begin to work with the new government;
- For the new policies and requirements of Government;
- For health and strength of office staff and their families;

Welcome everyone,
Whether you've stumbled upon this blog or purposefully come here (thanks for that), I hope you enjoy your visit and find it in you to leave some comments, feedback, constructive criticism or anything you feel you want to share.
Originally I intended this blog to exclusively be the receptacle of my attempts at writing stories and hoped that by blogging I would be accountable for writing every day and publish these excerpts, flash fictions, short stories or novellas at some regular intervals.
It's become a little bit more than that, because there's no way we can stay remote from what we do and eventually we're brought to share more of who we are so that these writings somehow make more sense. So I've started telling a bit more about myself, not always easily.
You'll find all stories by clicking on Writing either here or in the menu.
I hope it's worth reading and that you'll find it's worth your time to share your own words and your love of stories.
Thank you and happy reading,

National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Freddie Blay has apologized to the National House of Chiefs for describing its President, Agbogbomefia Togbe Afede XIV as a palmwine tapper. "I write on my behalf as National Chairman of the NPP to apologize to Togbe Afede XIV Agbogbomefia of Asogli State and President of the National House of Chiefs for referring to his comments on my 275 buses for the constituencies as 'a palm wine tapper business comment"
"I Freddie Blay upon careful thought realize it's an insult to the Asogli State and the people of the State. I also know its bad manners to insult a Chief or an Elder in public since anyone who is born from home in Ghana must know this. I should have addressed the issue to allay Togbe's fears.I once again apologize for my comments," Freddie Blay said in a statement.
Freddie Blay is alleged to have insulted the Agbogbomefia following his comments on corruption perception in the country during his address at the general meeting of the National House of Chiefs. Togbe Afede, a businessman who is also the President of the Volta Regional House of Chiefs, had said that the purchase of the buses by Freddie Blay, deepens corruption perception in the country, and thus urged chiefs to help address the worsening perception and incidence of corruption
"Some time ago, it was one party building a multi-million dollar headquarters, we all sat down and did not complain. And recently, an aspiring chairman of a party buying several 275 vehicles. These are matters that should attract Nananom's attention. And I'm very happy that at least the latest one has attracted the attention of the special prosecutor. Unfortunately, the canker has spread so deeply" the Chief said about the 275 buses controversy."
"Let me say that the frequency of corruption at elections is worrying; because that sequence itself suggests the lack of trust and lack of transparency…. And I think that we all have to work hard to minimize the frequency of perceptions of corruption and corruption. Nananom [Chiefs] should lead the fight and should talk for transparency," the Chief said.
The National House of Chiefs and a youth group in the Volta Region had subsequently asked Mr. Blay to apologize for his comments.

Do you set Goals? Whether it's a daily, weekly, monthly or even annual goal?What happens when you pass the finish line? Do you stop?
Do you sit back and relax?
I hope the answer to that NO! I have something I need you to read closely. Don't be satisfied with simply reaching your goals. Exceed it!
This is proving to be a problem with our society. We let the society put limitations on who we are, what we do, why we do it, who we do it with.… 'Oh, she can't do that and raise her three kids by herself.' 'Nah! he won't ever reach manager because he didn't go to college.' And on and on and on. We have been trained from an early age that there is a certain standard we MUST accept for our lives. We are told to set goals and that's it. CHANGE THE MINDSET!
Some of us want; to get out and stay out of debt, financial freedom, more time with our husband or wife, more time with our children, to travel and still get paid, to retire early. My question to you is How can you achieve a different result doing the same thing you have been doing over and over? Wait…. I will answer that for you. You Can't!!! You have to CHANGE YOUR MINDSET TO CHANGE YOUR OUTCOME.
The great thing about Network Marketing is that there are no limitations. It doesn't matter who you are, where you are from, whether you are part-time or full-time, or if you are single or married, whether you went to college or not. None of these Matter. Anyone can succeed in this profession as long as they put in the effort. YOU CAN REACH THE DREAMS YOU DREAM.
So, why would you accept the standard of what other people expect of you? Exceed everyone's expectations. Surpass your mind limitations. YOU HAVE UNLIMITED POTENTIAL…. USE IT! All you have to do is think big!
Think big!!! If you have a goal of recruiting 5 people in a week, make it 10. Surpass your goal!! If you were planning on bringing 15 people to the next event, bring 30. Maybe you've earned enough income to pay off your house. Now, see if you can make enough to send your child to college. Maybe you own your dream car, Now see if you can own a private Jet.
What percentage of your potential are you operating at right now? 12%? 30%? 70%? What do you think would happen if you cranked up your effort just 5% or 10%? You'll see growth, that's what will happen!!
Think bigger. You'll see more growth, more development, more success when you push past the limitations society places on you. DON'T SETTLE. You have the power to go to unbelievable heights.
So, Dream Big. Set Higher Goals. Go further than anyone thought possible.

I'm so happy to kick off this interview series with James Mangraviti Jr., a self-proclaimed "recovering lawyer" who is currently the principal of the expert witness program training at SEAK (Skills, Education, Achievement, Knowledge). Mr. Mangraviti has trained thousands of expert witnesses and has co-authored over 30 books on this topic.
A little bit more about SEAK (Seak.com): SEAK is an organization based out of Cape Cod, Massachusetts that is the leading provider of non-clinical careers and supplemental income for physicians. SEAK has trained over 20,000 doctors, lawyers, nurses, expert witnesses and other professionals. SEAK was one of the first sites I found and continue to follow for non-clinical careers. It is a goldmine of resources for physicians, clinical and non-clinical. In addition to expert witness training, SEAK also trains physicians on independent medical examinations, file reviews, writing, teaching, inventing, and consulting.
You're going to learn so much from this interview:
1. Tell me a little about yourself, your journey, and what you do?
I help run SEAK, Inc. (www.seak.com) a boutique ACCME accredited continuing education firm. We are dedicated to helping physicians supplement their income through part time gigs such as file reviews, expert witnessing, IMEs, consulting, life care planning and writing (www.supplementalincomeforphysicians.com) and also showing physicians the full time non-clinical opportunities available to them (www.nonclinicalcareers.com). SEAK's founder is Attorney Steve Babistky. Both Steve and I are recovering lawyers who have found more fulfillment working in a non-traditional role as opposed to a law firm. We want to help physicians achieve the work life balance and professional satisfaction that we are enjoying.
2. What was your motivation for creating the SEAK organization?
Steve Babitsky (below) created SEAK in 1980 to help educate people and solve their problems.
3. Why do you think more physicians are looking to transition into non-clinical roles?
Many, many reasons. Here are some of the top ones:
- Lifestyle – too much call, too many hours, too much family disruption
- Burnout
- Declining reimbursements, increased paperwork.
- Desire to make more money than clinical medicine
- Not enjoying the practice of medicine
- Bored with a job they have done for many years and which gets somewhat repetitive.
- A physical disability that prevents practicing medicine
- Ready to stop practicing medicine, but not ready to retire.
4. What do you see are the biggest challenges physicians face when transitioning into a nonclinical career? How can physicians avoid this?
By far the biggest challenge in inertia.
They want a change, but don't take any concrete steps to make it happen.
#2 is the misconception that "there is nothing out there." What we teach at SEAK's Non-Clinical Careers Conference is that the biggest challenge most physicians will face is deciding which of numerous possibilities to pursue.
#3 is the misconception that they will have to move. Many of the careers discussed at SEAK's Non-Clinical Careers Conference have positions that offer telecommuting.
#4 is money. Most docs think they'll lose their shirts if they give up the practice. The reality is that non-clinical work often pays significantly more than clinical work, especially if calculated by the hour.
5. What are options for physicians who don't go into residency and want to immediately enter a nonclinical career?
Many and varied, although less than for practicing physicians. Many of our faculty members have not completed their residencies. One went on to become CEO of a huge well know biotech company. Possibilities include writing, consulting, coaching, pharma, and medical communications.
6. What are career options that are less well known that physicians can do?
One of the things we teach at SEAK's Annual Non-Clinical Careers conference is to NOT restrict your thinking to "traditional" non-clinical careers such as industry, administration and insurance.
There are doctors out there who are wildly successful in roles that really have little or nothing to do with medicine including politics (many doctors in Congress/Senate), novelists (Tess Gerritsen and many others), Sportscaster (Jerry Punch), Commentator (Charles Krauthammer), and Journalist (Bob Arnot, below)
7. We know that it won't take overnight to transition into a new career, but realistically, how long should a physician plan for transitioning into a nonclinical career?
It really depends. Sometime it is quicker than overnight. Each year we have many hundreds of physicians attend our Non-Clinical Careers.
Some get jobs right there at the conference as we have recruiters in attendance. Others transition over a period of months or years. It depends on who the doctor is and how motivated they are for a change. Again, the biggest enemy to a successful transition is inertia. The more serious you take your transition the quicker it will go.
~End Interview~
Wow, I learned so much from Mr. Mangraviti and feel so grateful that he has shared his wisdom with me and everyone else.
The large overall message I got from this interview is DON'T RESTRICT YOURSELF! The annual Nonclinical Careers conference is coming up. Register for it ASAP because, there will be excellent learning and career opportunities available at the conference.
Check out SEAK.com for awesome websites such as https://www.supplementalincomeforphysicians.com/.

ABS-CBN's "Ina Kapatid Anak" Versus GMA's "Coffee Prince:" The Battle of Drama Versus Comedy Begins!

Personally, I prefer Ina, Kapatid, Anak to Coffee Prince for several reasons. For one, the premise of Ina, Kapatid, Anak (IKA) tackles about an issue that transcends other issues like ethical, moral, social and institutional issues. I am curious how they would answer the question they posed, which asks who has the rights to claim a child. Is it the one who gave birth to it, or the ones who gave that child its biological make-up? On the other hand, we already know that what the Coffee Prince (CP) offers us is a modern-day fairy tale -- a typical Asian romcom novela about a strong-willed, hardworking, family-loving poor girl and an arrogant and handsome rich guy who would eventually fall in love with each other. In the case of Coffee Prince, however, such story is given a different flavor when the girl protagonist had to disguise as a lad in order to overcome the challenges she would encounter in the story to further establish her character and, well, the gist of the story.ReplyDelete
Second, the storyline of IKA is a bit unique (though common elements like the underdog, the poor-rich divide, the eventual rise to power of the underdog, love story and a dash of secrets that would be revealed later are still present). Meanwhile, the Coffee Prince is a remake of a hit Koreanovela with the same title (with a Filipino twist, of course).
Third, pardon me for saying this, but the Kapamilya artists are really known to have stronger acting prowess than their kapuso contemporaries.
And lastly, I prefer IKA to CP because the former is more socially relevant than the latter. While the issue of surrogacy is not new in the country, there are still a lot of things that we need to know about this matter especially that, as mentioned, this subject touches social, moral, ethical and institutional concerns.
Sorry for this very long post... =)

Back home in Arizona I was facing one of the most difficult times in my life. I had to say "until next time..." to one of my absolute favorite humans on this Earth. He was my biggest supporter, hugest fan, someone who lifted my spirits, the person who gave me the ability to believe I can live the way I want and believe in the dreams I choose. He was a rebel spirit who had a different way of thinking than most and is never ever boring.
So, I'm officially back in LA and all moved into my new place. Am I currently sharing a bed with my sister. Are there currently 3 of us in a one bedroom? Yep! Does it suck? A teeny bit, but it's home. Being back feels like I was never gone, but that I woke up and everything has changed.
I am learning to adjust my need for control. I am waking up and instead letting the feeling of being overwhelmed stop me from getting out of bed, I'm just open to whatever is going to happen. I have lost the need to care about things that mean nothing. I have changed from being a spiritual zero to someone who is thankful for the day. Attitude of gratitude as I have heard it said.
I was a prisoner to my own self control. And now I'm learning what it really feels like to be free. Free as a Bird! Yep that is me! Flying here or there but always remembering how to fly back home.
Home is somewhere I am going to allow to change and alter. Release my worries and let my inner Pocahontas have her way (that's what I call my spirit; Pocahontas).
Life has a way of bringing you to where you need to be if you just trust your journey.

Laser tattoo removal is different for each client because every person and their tattoo is unique. Because of this, it is not possible to predict the exact number of treatments that a given tattoo will require for complete removal. If anyone claims otherwise, they are simply not being truthful with you!
We do understand that this is a somewhat frustrating answer (and we wish we had a crystal ball!), but what we can do, apart from using the best tattoo removal lasers available, is set clear expectations.
Based on our experience, most professional tattoos take around 6 to 12 sessions to completely remove — sometimes less, occasionally more. The reason for the broad range is that there are a lot of factors to take into consideration.
The number of sessions needed to remove a tattoo depends largely on the following factors:

A certain chain of syntagmas such as those forming the lyrics of "Scarborough Fair" is marked by their very iterability and, as in the case of "Scarborough Fair," has been cited in multiple variations and contexts over the preceding centuries by various singers; and even a single singer like Martin Carthy will re-cite the words anew in shifting contexts every time he performs the song. Yet while the alienating effects of différance and iteration do matter and constantly work against notions of a simplistic intentionality, the actual materiality and mediality of the words at the very moment of their performance, as well as the specific dialogic and generic context of their utterance are equally crucial.
But let us focus on the second voice – that of the performer – and its alignment with the internalised 'voices' of a lyric or poem. The classical source to turn to, here, is Edward T. Cone's study of The Composer's Voice (1974). e. " In the 'legitimate' case, the two aspects of person and persona fuse. The physical presence and the vitality of the singer turn the persona of the poetic-musical text into an actual, immediate, living being: the person of the singer invests the persona of the song with personality.
Emphasising, with Antonio Gramsci (1971) a relative autonomy of cultural practices within contexts of economic and social hegemony, Middleton's first situational change is the "bourgeois revolution" which he locates in phases between the late 18th century and roughly the 1840s in Britain. These were "marked by complex and overt class struggle within cultural fields, by the permeation of the market system through almost all musical activities, and by the development and eventual predominance of new musical types associated with the ruling class" (Middleton 1985, 10).

Hard Boiled (John Woo, 1992)
Yun-Fat Chow (Tequila), Tony Leung Chiu Wai (Alan), Philip Kwok (Mad Dog), Philip Chan (Pang), Wei Tung (Foxy), Hoi-Shan Kwan (Mr. Hoi). Screenplay by Barry Wong. Directed by John Woo. Rating: 18. Running time: 128 minutes.
Get me a thesaurus, because the two most apt adjectives that spring to mind here – ridiculous and outrageous – aren't going to do justice to just how insane Hard Boiled is. This isn't a film, it's an action game (and if you think I'm joking just look here). You know when you were a kid and on Playstation games you used to be James Bond or whoever, and if you had a gun you'd just hold down the fire button for the entire game whilst walking around, blowing everybody's heads off as blood splatters on your screen? Well if you were to make a film of these action sequences then the result would probably be something strikingly similar to Hard Boiled. Even its story is about as relevant and clear as those little snippets interspersed throughout video games. It's just utterly ridiculous how much of the film is devoted to watching men shoot each other. It's actually even filmed like a game in parts, when we follow one man – Tequila (apparently that's his name; all you need to know is that he's a maniacal Hong Kong cop) – ducking, diving and reloading as he travels down a corridor shooting everyone who gets in his way.
Yes, automatic weapons will still be ringing in your ears long after Hard Boiled has finished. And if it's not gunfire you're hearing, it'll be the ever-present explosions of whatever's in sight: cars, motorbikes, or even in the end, after what my DVD case describes as the film's 'climax' (if that's the way to describe an hour long shoot out), a damn hospital. I suppose I should have guessed how crazy it would be purely by virtue of the character names: along with Tequila, we have Pang, Foxy, 'Mad Dog' and a Chinese 'Alan' (?), the latter played by none other than the Tony Leung I'm used to seeing in dialogue-driven Wong Kar-wai films. No doubt he enjoyed the break from having to learn too many lines here, even if the death of screenwriter Barry Wong apparently meant director John Woo had to improvise some of the gangster talk for his actors to say on set. Anyway, I get the impression Woo must have just said 'fuck it' to dialogue in the end. 'Who needs talk when you've got lots of guns?' seems to be his motto. Hard Boiled is its absolutely bonkers cinematic manifestation.

Subject description
Oceans of the globe are subjected to increased natural or human-driven stressors. Marine protected areas (MPAs) are used to protect marine biodiversity while managing human uses. MPAs can serve two purposes: promoting local fish diversity and biomass within their borders and/or increasing the spillover of adults, larvae and eggs to fished areas beyond their borders. Understanding connectivity patterns between reef fish populations is of major importance to the design of and distance among coastal Marine Protected Areas that are part of a network. Most reef fish species have particular bi- partite life cycles with adults that live relatively attached to the demersal substrates, and a larval pelagic phase that has a large potential for dispersal, interconnecting populations (Planes et. al, 2009). Fish larvae were traditionally considered as passive dispersing long distances depending solely on currents and the extent of the plagic larval duration (PLD). However, increasing evidence shows that retention close to natal reefs can occur and that self-recruitment can be higher than expected in some coral reef fish species.
Important relevant life history traits of fish can influence their potential for dispersal. Larvae hatching from demersal eggs are more developed and can potentially show relevant behavioural patterns early in their ontogeny, that can modulate their horizontal dispersal. Species having short PLDs are less likelly of successfully finding a suitable habitat where to settle and thus are expected to disperse less than species with longer PLD. However, even in species with longer PLD's, behaviour can also influence dispersal patterns. Larvae of reef fish species can have strong swimming capabilities that can allow them to actively interact with currents and change their dispersal.
Most research on population connectivity has been developed in coral reef environments and very little is known on the factors affecting local population dynamics of temperate reef fishes. The extent of dispersal and the connectivity patterns of these populations, relevant at the ecological scale, must be known so that the role of MPA's to sustain fisheries outside its borders and/or to increase local production can be understood and are thus major factors that should be considered in MPA management, and in the design of future MPA networks as tools of effective adaptive management in face of global and regional changes.
The Cerbère-Banyuls Natural Marine Reserve in the French Mediterranean was established in 1974. Restrictions on human use are well enforced; thus, it is probable that ecological changes have occurred since protection (Guidetti & Sala 2007; Claudet et al. 2008; Molloy et al. 2009). Artisanal and recreational fishing are allowed but the number of fishing vessels and the type of fishing gears used is limited. Within the partially protected (buffer) zone, there is a no-take and no-use zone, and the highest density of fishers occurs at the borders of the no-take zone and external borders of the buffer zone (Goñi et al. 2008). The establishment of the MPA and spatial differences in fishing effort are associated with improvements in the condition of individual fish and increases in abundance and species richness within the MPA (Dufour et al. 1995; Lloret & Planes 2003). However, little is known about the patterns of connectivity between these populations and others outside of the MPA borders.
The Arrábida Marine Park was only recently established as an MPA; it is similar to the Cerbere- Banyuls reserve both in terms of size and the spatial organization. Studies previously conducted at this area have shown that the larvae of some species seem to grow inshore close to the reefs, potentially self-recruiting locally (Beldade et al., 2006; Borges et al., 2007). Although located in the Portuguese western coast, this study area faces south and is thus protected from the NW winds and has particular good conditions to investigate reef fish assemblages; however, no direct estimates of connectivity have been investigated so far. Within the very diverse local fish assemblage, several species having important ecological roles in the nearshore reef fish assemblages, also occur in Mediterranean waters.
We intend to replicate methods of larval fish sampling (by using light traps) in order to compare the structure of nearshore larval fish assemblages in these two areas and patterns of larval retention, as well as relevant early life history traits (ELHT) of larvae, such as PLD, through otolith analysis. Connectivity patterns between populations of target commercial and ecologically relevant species common to both systems will be investigated through the use of microsatellites in order to investigate self-recruitment and the role of these populations as source of recruits to other populations). Target species will include the grouper, Epinephelus marginatus, and sparids (Diplodus spp), for which there are available microsatellites; E. Marginatus is a valuable species that has a very reduced population size in the Banyuls MPA, where a reduced number of reproducing males occur; Sparids of the genus Diplodus are also of high commercial specie sboth in the Atlantic and in the Mediterranean. Field work will be conducted in both systems; laboratorial analysis of larvae and ELHT will be conducted with Partner 5; the genetic analysis will mainly be developed with Partner 24.

Hopefully in the next 48 hours this whole ordeal will be over. Something happened to me this year. I'm not entirely sure of all the reasons why, but whereas I usually eat up political seasons, this year I am feeling more fed up. I'm still passionate, still engaged, but definitely ready for this to be over!
Here are a few things to keep in mind as we head into Election Day:
- Remember how wrong the exits polls were in 2004 and 2008. I hope the media remembers this, as well. It is going to be a late night as we wait for those more rural counties in Ohio and Wisconsin to report their tallies. Expect Obama to have a sizable lead in Ohio earlier on. Romney should cut away at that lead as more counties report.
- Expect shock and awe from the media if Romney wins. I recommend not even turning on MSNBC. It's bad for your heart.
- If Obama wins, watch Conservatives light Chris Christie on fire. I'm not convinced that their palling around after Sandy really made that big of a difference, but I appear to be in the minority on this point.
Here are my "No Matter What…" bottom lines:
- We are so incredibly blessed to live in a country in which there will be a peaceful transition of power. Amazing.
- I believe God's word over the polls. Regardless of who wins, "The king's heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD; he turns it wherever he will." (Proverbs 21:1) God is sovereign and good. I'm going to be fine.
Now, my predictions on the results: Romney will win big. I think the pollsters have massively underestimated the shift in the electorate toward Republicans. I created my own map at Real Clear Politics. My biggest uncertainty is Pennsylvania. A Romney win there could be a stretch. But even if he loses Pennsylvania, he wins the Electoral College. I also see a Romney win in Michigan and/or Minnesota as a possibility.
What about the Senate? If Romney wins the Presidency, Republicans take back the Senate. If he does not, Democrats will retain control of the Senate.
I could be wrong. It happens from time to time.

Words, voice and movement. Stage performance has been and still is a fundamental part of the expression of the country and its people. Oral expression was extremely important during the Middle Ages for the transmission of narrative, stories and even the liturgy itself. This tradition began with the religious plays of the Middle Ages and culminated in its period of maximum splendour in the Spanish Golden Age, when popular theatre houses staged works by playwrights such as Lope de Vega and Calderón de la Barca, among numerous others. In contrast, the tradition of dance and classical ballet arose from the Court, and these artistic expressions have over time become one of the cornerstones of Spanish modernity.

Alpha Upsilon History
UM – KA Annual Archive
A historical look back at the classes straight from the pages of the UM annuals starting in 1900 – when it all began.
KA Motto in MS State Capitol
The proper translation — which by the way has finally made it into the new edition of The Varlet — is "God and the ladies." The French make the same distinction as we between the "lady" (la dame) and the "woman" (la femme) so if it were "God and the women" it would be "Dieu et les Femmes."
I saw the motto on the ceiling of the Senate Chamber and was struck by it. This was probably about 1957 because I went as an alternate from Ole Miss to Youth Congress that year.
There was one person I knew who, I thought, might be a resource for finding out why this came to be there: it was Kenneth Toler who was the Dean of the Capitol Press Corps and longtime correspondent in Mississippi for the Memphis Commercial Appeal. He was a KA from LSU and, more importantly, had served as Province Commander for White Province (then composed of Louisiana & Mississippi) in 1940.
I knew him because he — at least his family — was in my Church and he had daughters that were just older and younger than I.
So I went to see him.
"Mr Toler; I was in the Capitol and saw in the Senate ceiling the KA Motto, 'Dieu et les Dames.' Have you ever seen that?"
He smiled. "Oh yes, I know it's there!"
"Why is it there? In 1903 there could not have been that many KA's around here in Mississippi since the chapter at Millsaps did not start till 1893
and the one at Ole Miss in 1900."
"Well," he said, "It's like this: Mike Conner [Note from RBW: Mike Conner was a KA from Ole Miss and the only man who served two terms as No I in the history of the chapter] was Governor and the Capitol was being renovated [this means it was the early 1930's]; a group of us were walking around looking at the work going on and we were in the building. We were in the Senate and someone looked up and saw that half circle area in the back dome and said 'Something ought to be written in that semi-circle.' I looked at Mike Conner and said 'You know what would be just perfect up there? Dieu et les Dames.' He smiled and nodded and then said 'He's right; let's put Dieu et les Dames on the ceiling of the Senate.' And so it was done and so it has remained."

A spooky video from Malaysia shows a mysterious white cat suddenly appear during a man's funeral and refuse to leave his freshly-filled grave.
The eerie scene was captured on video by the man's grandson, who says that the cat did not belong to the family nor do they have any idea where it came from.
Nonetheless, the feline seemed to connect with the departed man as it sat perched on his grave and would not budge, despite several attempts to move the animal away from the area.
Making the weird incident all the more intriguing is that the man purportedly loved cats when he was alive.
Is this simply the case of a cat acting up at an inappropriate time or some kind of supernatural message being imparted by the frisky feline? Let us know your thoughts at the Coast to Coast AM Facebook page.

Don't turn away in disgust just yet. If you're like me, then you love canned food. And if you're still willing to resemble me in character, then you also love eating easy, protein rich meals out of a single bowl. Sounds like you?
Here's what you'll need:
1 Can baked beans in tomato sauce (alternatively President's Choice makes a great can-o-beans in barbecue sauce... I am currently enjoying such a tuna-bean-mac.)
1 Can flaked light tuna
1 Package macaroni and cheese
1 stalk of broccoli (optional)
Boil four cups of water in a pot, salt and add broccoli. Let it all boil for 5 minutes, then add the macaroni. Boil until tender. Drain. Lower the heat. Add the cheese powder, beans, and a bit of milk to help it all dissolve. Stir. Drain the tuna, add it and stir. Let it all get warm put it in a big bowl and dig in.
Now if you've managed to finish it, (you should have 2 very reasonable portions) your sodium may have skyrocketed but you've just consumed about 5.5 g of fibre, and 22.5 g of protein per serving. Now sit. You're going to be very bloated.

In response to mounting pressure for greater transparency on declaration of interests within the NHS, in October 2016, NHS England released a consultation document for 'Managing Conflicts of Interest'.
In February 2017 NHS England followed up and published 'Managing Conflicts of Interest in the NHS Guidance for Staff and Organisations', which sets down guidance for all NHS organisations to follow. Taunton and Somerset NHS Foundation Trust has drafted a new Code of Conduct and Managing Conflicts of Interest Policy which follows this guidance.
This requires staff to declare any interests as and when they arise, such as gifts, hospitality, outside employment, clinical private practice, patents, loyalty interests, shareholdings and ownerships, donations, sponsored events, sponsored research and sponsored posts.

By James Schaefer.
"Those who retire under the Texas counties' Alternate Plan do much better than those on Social Security. According to First Financial's calculations, based on 40 years of contributions:
• A lower-middle income worker making about $26,000 at retirement would get about $1,007 a month under Social Security, but $1,826 under the Alternate Plan.
• A middle-income worker making $51,200 would get about $1,540 monthly from Social Security, but $3,600 from the banking model.
• And a high-income worker who maxed out on his Social Security contribution every year would receive about $2,500 a month from Social Security versus $5,000 to $6,000 a month from the Alternate Plan."

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. * 11:00 AM to 12:45 PM: Celebration of Dr. King's Life and Work for Peace, Justice, and Transformation • inside St. Peter's Episcopal Church • 838 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge * 12:45 to 1:45 PM: Lunch and Gathering at the Church • In the undercroft (basement) at St. Peter's Episcopal Church • 838 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge In 1967, Martin Luther King described what he saw as the most serious challenge for our society. In his words, "We must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights, are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered." More than fifty years later, the United States still faces these three existential challenges to our values as a nation. The City of Cambridge will honor and remember Dr. King and his legacy, as we gather at St. Peter's Episcopal Church to hear members of the Cambridge community share readings of Dr. King's words calling for peace, justice and transformation, as well as musical performances by Véronique Epiter, Christina DeVaughn and members of Cambridge's Episcopal churches. We will also feature remarks by Ellen Semonoff, Assistant City Manager for Human Services for the City of Cambridge. Ellen Semonoff has served as Assistant City Manager for Human Services for the City of Cambridge since 2004, where she provides leadership and day-to-day management of the Department of Human Service Programs, which includes a wide array of programs. Ms. Semonoff also serves on the Board of the Cambridge Health Alliance, a public safety net hospital and teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School. In 2014, President Obama appointed her to his Advisory Group on Prevention, Health Promotion, and Integrative and Public Health. She spent several years in Washington D.C., serving as a Special Assistant to the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, Joseph A. Califano and as a law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. She holds a B.A. from Brandeis University and a J.D. from Harvard Law School. In addition to the Peace Commission's Commemoration and Remembrance at St. Peter's Episcopal Church, once again Many Helping Hands will sponsor volunteer activities for its Day of Service from 2:00 to 5:00 PM at City Hall, St. Peter's, the YWCA, the Senior Center and other sites.
