We Are We?
Retrouvaille of Tampa Bay is part of an international network of Retrouvaille Marriage Help communities that provides weekend retreats, follow-up sessions, monthly small group meetings and couple mentorship. We serve couples from anywhere, but focus mainly on Western Florida, from Naples up to Pensacola.
The Tampa Bay Retrouvaille community holds 4 weekend retreats, 28 Follow-Up Sessions, and 12 small group get togethers yearly, helping hundreds of couples per year.
Our team is vibrant group of volunteers that vary in age from Millennials to Boomers, diverse economic status and ethnicity, and varied degrees of marital breakdown that ultimately brought them to attend their own Retrouvaille weekends, and ultimately give back by volunteering their time and talents in order to help others as they have been helped.
Vision Statement
We believe that every couple deserves the opportunity to survive, be healed and thrive as a covenant of life and love. Our program is the place where we, as hurting couples, found hope and so we are passionately committed to dramatically increasing the number of couples served in both new and existing communities worldwide.
Mission Statement
Ours is a community of disciples committed to the continued healing of their marriages, sharing their stories, talents and gifts to promote and spread healing.
We are volunteers and non-profit
We are a true non-profit organization. Every person involved in the program is a volunteer. There are no offices and no payroll. Just loving and caring volunteers that have been helped so much by the program that they have chosen to donate their time to give back to it.
The primary goal is to provide help for couples who live in the disappointment and pain of a marriage problems; To help couples living in disillusionment or misery to find and keep the love they once shared, while achieving forgiveness, building trust, and improving communication.
The weekend provides a safe setting encouraging couples to achieve these goals without an intermediary such as a counselor, and without discussing issues with other people. In a nutshell, it is a system that provides tools and information that help a couple council one another in privacy while never airing their dirty laundry with others.
The post-weekend phase of the Retrouvaille program is as critical to a couple experiencing marital problems as the initial weekend experience. The degree of disappointment, deterioration and despair in hurting marriages cannot be healed in one weekend. Restoration takes time. The post-weekend sessions provide support as couples discuss concepts of the importance of communication in marriage, intimacy, and many other topics.
Today's unchallenged acceptance of divorce suggests that many friends, families, church communities are providing only limited support for marriages. Retrouvaille is a program that is solely dedicated to providing the necessary support to help save marriages.
The Program Leaders
A team of three couples present the weekend, and clergy is available for those desiring. They are all strictly volunteers donating their time and energy to help hurting couples. The presenting couples have been exactly where the attending couples are, having also experienced the Retrouvaille program in the past.
These couples have grown through serious disillusionment, pain and conflict in their own relationships. They offer hope as they share their personal stories of struggle, reconciliation and healing. The team couples share the deep and personal hurts they have experienced, and share the stories of how their marriages deteriorated, and how they rebuilt trust and achieved forgiveness and awakening. This helps participants find the courage to express some of their own pain with their spouse in a safe and private place.
In sharing their values and insights, team couples offer a message different from society's model of independence and selfishness. Hurting couples are invited to see how listening, communication, conflict management and forgiveness are healthy tools for building a stable and loving relationship.
What to Expect
The program begins with a weekend, which is either held at a hotel or a retreat center. It begins on Friday evening, and ends on Sunday afternoon. Your registration fee guarantees your room and all meals. You do not pay separately for food or lodging. It is important that this weekend be a private time for you, free from distractions, so children may not attend the weekend with you.
You will spend a fair amount of time in your room reflecting on topics presented by the team. These topics gradually become more intense throughout the weekend, as the presenting teams slowly help guide attending couples into more open communication with one another, breaking down many of the barriers that brought them there in the first place.
On Sunday, there will be a time when the teams ask for voluntary and anonymous donations. This is meant to help cover the costs of the weekend, as the registration fee is kept very low in order to allow more couples in need to come. That will be a one-time request, and is completely optional.
After a closing service, couples will be sent home with instructions for the follow-up sessions.
Typically, the follow-up sessions run once weekly for 6 or 7 weeks, and last roughly four hours each. It is the follow-up sessions that are the key to Retrouvaille's success, as couples have spent a lifetime creating destructive habits, a weekend simply is not enough to change that.
Over the course of these follow-up sessions, the team couples will present on many more topics, while reinforcing weekend concepts and helping couples stay on course. Over the course of the follow-up sessions couples may stumble and fall back into old habits from time to time, and the help and support of the teams at the follow-up sessions help pull the couples back up and get back on track.
Taken seriously, this process over 7 or 8 weeks is usually enough to break the bad habits and reinforce new ones, while giving couples a deeper understanding and love for their spouses and their needs.
After the follow-up sessions are complete, couples are invited to continue to participate in Retrouvaille monthly small-group get togethers. Again, these are there to strengthen the marriage and provide support to help keep couples on track.
Once a couple has completed the program, they are forever part of the Retrouvaille family, and can repeat any of the follow-up sessions, anytime they desire, in any Retrouvaille community world-wide.

The mountains and valley that are now part of the reserve were once home to the local African tribes of the San. These were hunter-gatherers that lived off the produce of the land. They left records of their customs, belief, and celebrations in the form of rock art – which can still be seen and enjoyed by visitors today.
Anysberg is a 4-hour drive from the capital of Cape Town and is surrounded by the Karoo towns of Montagu, Ladismith, Laingsmith and Touwsrivier.
Its setting makes for spectacular views throughout the reserve. The rich vegetation and expansive areas mean that the Anysberg Nature Reserve is also the ideal habitat for a number of different wildlife species. These include the duiker, gemsbok, steenbok, red hartebeest, black-becked jackal, zebra, caracal and 180 different bird species. However, leopards are spotted on rare occasions in the mountains.
The Anysberg is a fantastic spot for hikers who want to explore the landscape without having to stick to formal trails and camps. There is also a guided horse trail, that takes two days to complete and offers an overnight camp as well as a number of cycling trails for mountain bikers.

My Approach to Helping
Life nowadays is stressful and complicated and sometimes we can "get stuck" and feel that there is no way out. I believe that God wants better for us and that we have a natural inclination to move towards health. Come into my office which is a safe and quiet space and over a cup of coffee we can make a plan to have life work better for you. Many times we carry losses and grief that we never recovered from and these "ghosts from the past" still haunt us robbing us of joy and peace. To me psychotherapy is a privilege to practice and I would be honored to work with you.

Prasanta Kr Das, Vice President Value Solutions at Dassault Systèmes in an interaction with DQ Channels talks about company's channel ecosystem and roadmap ahead in upcoming months.
How would you categorize Dassault Systèmes business approach in India?
Dassault Systèmes operates in India under three channels of sales. The first would be Business transformation under which the named accounts would be functioning. Next we have the value solutions which primarily work through the channel partners ecosystem. The third would be the professional channels under which brands like Solidworks are being sold. In India, both business transformation and value solutions operate in the same industry segments with similar brands and products, the only difference being value solutions working through a channel ecosystem.
Where would the value solutions group be specifically operating and what are the opportunities in these industries?
The value solutions operates across 12 industries (verticals) out of which in India we specifically focus on about 7-8 across core industries. These would include Aerospace & Defence, Natural Resources (including mining), Transportation & mobility, Industrial equipments, Consumer goods and packaging amongst others. Some of these industries like natural resources have come to us through acquisitions, while in the rest we have developed our strength organically.
The market opportunity in India for Dassault Systèmes is incredible, we have been raising the bar through our 3DEXPERIENCE Platform in various industry verticals such as automobile & transportation, Aerospace & Defence, Engineering Services. We have also identified new areas of growth in sectors such as Consumer goods and retail, natural resources and Healthcare for which both the industry's expertise and the knowledge of the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform of our partners will contribute to our market expansion in India.
What sort of channel ecosystem addresses these industries and through what solutions?
We address these industries through brands like , 3DEXCITE,, BIOVIA, CATIA, DELMIA, DRAFTSIGHT, ENOVIA, EXALEAD, GEOVIA, NETVIBES, SIMULIA and 3DSWYM though here too some have come into our portfolio through acquisitions while for the rest we have developed our expertise in house. We address these industries through these products with the help of 15 value added resellers who have specific market expertise for these industries. These would include the likes of Tata Technologies, EDS Technologies, CSM Software, ALTEM Technologies, Xitadel Technologies, amongst others. Last year we added 2 partners into this ecosystem.
Can you elaborate on how Dassault makes this channel ecosystem work?
The value solutions channel ecosystem in India mainly works under four pillars. The first one would be partner acquisition and subsequently enablement whereby we identify the partners who are capable of selling to these industries. We have a comprehensive process for on boarding of channels. We invest a lot on co marketing activities for our partners including mapping the addressable and potential market size for our partners and its team for our focussed industries
In the second pillar, a partner success manager is assigned to each partner to help them in their go to market with each customer. The third pillar is partner development whereby Dassault Systèmes helps these partners to develop and their business ecosystem as well as enhance their servicing capabilities. The last pillar is partner excellence whereby the focus is on technology training, domain specific training, pre sales training, technology orientations and certifications for the partners.
What would you highlight as Dassault's key focus area in the last few months?
In 2016 we have been focussing on – recruiting and developing partners with excellent domain expertise and market reputation and providing our partners with differentiable business offers to address the market. While realizing strong business growth; there is still great potential for partners to address large untapped markets in India and neighbouring countries with all our Industry solution experience offers across verticals. We at Dassault Systèmes have also invested heavily in building up strong team that works across academia with key focus in the development and enhancing employability across the industries

Big Data Hadoop Certification Training
- 156k Enrolled Learners
- Weekend/Weekday
- Live Class
Big Data has been playing a role of a big game changer for most of the industries over the last few years. According to Wikibon, worldwide Big Data market revenues for software and services are projected to increase from $42B in 2018 to $103B in 2027, attaining a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.48%. This is why, Big Data certification is one of the most engrossed skills in the industry. In this Big Data Applications blog, I will take you through various industry domains, where I will be explaining how Big Data is revolutionizing them.
The primary goal of Big Data applications is to help companies make more informative business decisions by analyzing large volumes of data. It could include web server logs, Internet click stream data, social media content and activity reports, text from customer emails, mobile phone call details and machine data captured by multiple sensors.
Organisations from different domain are investing in Big Data applications, for examining large data sets to uncover all hidden patterns, unknown correlations, market trends, customer preferences and other useful business information. In this blog we will we be covering:
Let's understand how Big Data applications are playing a major role in different domains.
The level of data generated within healthcare systems is not trivial. Traditionally, the health care industry lagged in using Big Data, because of limited ability to standardize and consolidate data.
But now Big data analytics have improved healthcare by providing personalized medicine and prescriptive analytics. Researchers are mining the data to see what treatments are more effective for particular conditions, identify patterns related to drug side effects, and gains other important information that can help patients and reduce costs.
With the added adoption of mHealth, eHealth and wearable technologies the volume of data is increasing at an exponential rate. This includes electronic health record data, imaging data, patient generated data, sensor data, and other forms of data.
By mapping healthcare data with geographical data sets, it's possible to predict disease that will escalate in specific areas. Based of predictions, it's easier to strategize diagnostics and plan for stocking serums and vaccines.
Predictive manufacturing provides near-zero downtime and transparency. It requires an enormous amount of data and advanced prediction tools for a systematic process of data into useful information.
Major benefits of using Big Data applications in manufacturing industry are:
Various companies in the media and entertainment industry are facing new business models, for the way they – create, market and distribute their content. This is happening because of current consumer's search and the requirement of accessing content anywhere, any time, on any device.
Big Data provides actionable points of information about millions of individuals. Now, publishing environments are tailoring advertisements and content to appeal consumers. These insights are gathered through various data-mining activities. Big Data applications benefits media and entertainment industry by:
Data extracted from IoT devices provides a mapping of device inter-connectivity. Such mappings have been used by various companies and governments to increase efficiency. IoT is also increasingly adopted as a means of gathering sensory data, and this sensory data is used in medical and manufacturing contexts.
The use and adoption of Big Data within governmental processes allows efficiencies in terms of cost, productivity, and innovation. In government use cases, the same data sets are often applied across multiple applications & it requires multiple departments to work in collaboration.
Since Government majorly acts in all the domains, thus it plays an important role in innovating Big Data applications in each and every domain. Let me address some of the major areas:
The federal government launched a cyber security research and development plan that relies on the ability to analyze large data sets in order to improve the security of U.S. computer networks.
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency is creating a "Map of the World" that can gather and analyze data from a wide variety of sources such as satellite and social media data. It contains a variety of data from classified, unclassified, and top-secret networks.
Police departments can leverage advanced, real-time analytics to provide actionable intelligence that can be used to understand criminal behaviour, identify crime/incident patterns, and uncover location-based threats.
According to a McKinsey report, Big Data technologies could reduce research and development costs for pharmaceutical makers by $40 billion to $70 billion. The FDA and NIH use Big Data technologies to access large amounts of data to evaluate drugs and treatment.
The National Science Foundation has initiated a long-term plan to:
The NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) gathers data every minute of every day from land, sea, and space-based sensors. Daily NOAA uses Big Data to analyze and extract value from over 20 terabytes of data.
Big Data Applications can be used by tax organizations to analyze both unstructured and structured data from a variety of sources in order to identify suspicious behavior and multiple identities. This would help in tax fraud identification.
Big Data helps in aggregating real-time traffic data gathered from road sensors, GPS devices and video cameras. The potential traffic problems in dense areas can be prevented by adjusting public transportation routes in real time.
I have just conveyed some of the prominent examples of Big Data applications, but there are uncountable ways in which Big Data is revolutionizing each and every domain. I hope you found this blog informative enough. In my next blog, I will talk about the career opportunities in Big Data and Hadoop.
Now that you know various Hadoop Certification, check out the Hadoop training by Edureka, a trusted online learning company with a network of more than 250,000 satisfied learners spread across the globe. The Edureka Big Data Hadoop Certification Training course helps learners become expert in HDFS, Yarn, MapReduce, Pig, Hive, HBase, Oozie, Flume and Sqoop using real-time use cases on Retail, Social Media, Aviation, Tourism, Finance domain.
Got a question for us? Please mention it in the comments section and we will get back to you.

A sleep disorder is a broad term. There are over 100 specific sleep disorders that can be categorized as follows:
- difficulty falling asleep or sleeping poorly, such as occur with insomnia or sleep apnea
- difficulty staying awake, such as excessive daytime sleepiness
- falling asleep at inappropriate times, such as narcolepsy
- sleeping too much, hypersomnia
- odd behaviors during sleep, as might occur with night terrors or sleep walking
Problems with sleep might last only a few days (transient), 2 to 3 weeks (short-term), or persist over months (chronic). Chronic sleep disorders can lead to poor performance during that day at work or school and lead to other health problems.
You should see your doctor about a sleep disorder if it lasts more than a few weeks and interferes with daily living.
Insomnia describes difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking early. It may be due to a variety of causes, such as physical illness (hyperthyroidism), depression or anxiety, excessive caffeine use, alcohol, drugs, or as a side effect of certain medications.
Insomnia is commonly due to trying to sleep in a poor environment with an uncomfortable bed or too much light, noise or movement. It may also result from habits that make it difficult for sleep to occur during regular sleep hours, such as taking daytime naps, going to bed too early or spending too much time in bed.
Sometimes the sleep loss from insomnia leads to stress that can make sleep even more difficult to achieve.
Excessive daytime sleepiness
Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) may be due to a variety of causes, including narcolepsy, restless leg syndrome (RLS) and sleep apnea. Sleep apnea should be suspected in people who snore loudly, wake frequently during the night and awake in the morning feeling unrefreshed.
Excessive daytime sleepiness may occur when someone does not maintain a consistent sleep and wake schedule. This occurs when traveling between times zones (jet lag) and with shift workers on rotating schedules, such as nurses, pilots, and night crews.
Idiopathic hypersomnia is a term used when excessive sleepiness occurs without an identifiable cause.
Odd behaviors during sleep
Unusual behaviors during sleep are called parasomnias and are fairly common in children. They include sleep terrors and sleep walking.
Diagnosis of a sleep disorder
Most people are aware that they have a sleep disorder, but it is important to make a specific diagnosis to recommend an effective treatment plan.
A medical exam and history are important for identifying any possible medical conditions causing sleep problems. The history will include details about the hours of sleep or wakefulness, details about one's sleep environment, medication use and other details. A sleep diary can be helpful for tracking sleep patterns.
Sleep studies may be ordered depending on the sleep disorder that is suggested by the history and medical exam. A polysomnogram (PSG) is one of the most commonly ordered sleep studies used to diagnose sleep apnea.
Treatment of sleep disorders
The treatment your doctor recommends will depend upon the type of sleep disorder, its duration, its impact on your life, responses to past treatments, and the existence of other medical conditions.
Sleep medications may be recommended to help induce sleep for short periods of time. Commonly prescribe sleep medications, including Ambien, Lunesta, Rozerem, Sonata, and trazadone (Desyrel). Overuse of sleep medications can create a dependancy on sleep medications. "Hypnotic-dependent sleep disorder" is a term used to describe insomnia that occurs when someone become reliant on certain sleep medications.
Excessive daytimes sleepiness may be treated with medication that help to maintain wakefulness during the day, such as Provigil (modafinil) and Nuvigil (armodafinil).
Some sleep disorders may go away without treatment.
Sleep hygiene
The following steps can help establish quality sleep for anybody, and are a key step towards treating sleep disorders.
- Establishing regular sleep habits, such as going to bed and waking at the same time every day.
- Sleeping in quiet comfortable room
- Regular exercise
- Avoid caffeine or excessive alcohol consumption

Summer in Brazil is getting closer and closer – and if you are like me – you must already be thinking about beach looks and what bikinis to take for that special weekend trip, right ?! Haha. So today I came to talk about a model that has conquered most fashionistas around the world: the high cut bikini (or one-piece). The model that was very famous in the 80's now promises to be the darling of the moment and the cool thing is that its modeling is perfect and adapts to various types of bodies and silhouettes.
Those follow me on Instagram should have already seen that I'm in love with this trend and have been wearing it A LOT, and like all remake fashion, this one also came back with some modifications. This time the high cut bikini mode appears with the highest modeling, both in the cut of the leg and on the waist and can reach up to the navel. Look at some beautiful inspirations I found on the Internet:
The cool thing about this piece is that even with little clothes, it guarantees you a stylish beach look, making a mix of modern and vintage. Not to mention that the modeling is super comfortable.

What did you think of this trend? Is it something you would wear?

When you have offices in one of London's most prestigious streets it will set a high standard for your Regent Street office cleaners.
Mention Regent Street and the first thought may be shopping and tourists. This is the location for more than 75 international flagship stores such as Liberty, Apple, Banana Republic, and the famous toy store, Hamleys. The street attracts an estimated 70 million visitors for its shopping and dining facilities.
It is within walking distance of Oxford Circus and Picadilly Circus underground stations. Mayfair lies to the west of Regent Street with its mix of high-end residential property, embassies, consulates and professional service buildings and Soho is to the east.
But Regent Street is also a hub for offices and tenants include many national and international companies including Apple, Twitter and Lloyds Bank and also also many smaller business located in office complexes being developed in Regent Street.
It is estimated that at least 50% of the street is office space. Tenants naturally expect a high standard of service from their Regent Street office cleaners given that it is a prestigious location attracting such a high volume of business.
The street was first conceived in the early 1800s. In 1811 the architect John Nash drew up the first plans for what was envisaged as broad, architecturally distinguished thoroughfares and public spaces.
Regent Street itself was always intended for commercial use and was named after the then Prince Regent (subsequently King George IV). The area was one of the first examples of formal town planning in England and one of the first planned developments in London.
The street was completed in 1825 although none of the original Nash buildings now remain, except for All Souls Church. Many of the original buildings were demolished between 1897 and 1925 and the area was redeveloped under the control of the Office of Woods, Forests and Land Revenues.
Every building is protected with listed status and forms part of the Regent Street Conservation area.
The area is now managed by the Crown Estate on behalf of the Regent Street Partnership and there is an ongoing project to invest and transform the street into an award-winning international destination. According to Crown Estates: "Over the past 10 years we have created around 750,000 ft2 of new office space, much needed in London's core West End."
If you require a high quality, reliable and professional office cleaning service for your Regent Street business, please give us a call on 020 8385 8000 or get in touch for a no obligation quote.

Puffin strengthens licensing and non-fiction team
Puffin, a division of Penguin Random House Children's, is strengthening its non-fiction and licensed publishing by promoting Ruth Knowles and hiring Jamie Coleman.
Knowles has been promoted to the role of publisher at the new Puffin, Non-Fiction and Licensing team and will report to publishing director Amanda Punter, who now has overall responsibility for licensed, non-fiction publishing, fiction, picture books, partnerships and illustrated non-fiction at the division.
The company has also hired Coleman, former commissioning editor at Pan Macmillan, as editorial director for licensing and non-fiction, to commission new properties and develop the non-fiction and licensing strategy.
The changes will take place with immediate effect.
"Puffin started out as a non-fiction publisher with its first title appearing in 1940, and I'm thrilled to be taking on this additional responsibility and working with Ruth and the team to further cultivate Puffin's reputation in both the non-fiction and licensed areas of the market," said Punter. "At Puffin, our aim is to publish stories for everyone and I'm excited about the new literary storytelling opportunities that enduring entertainment franchises and characters such as Dr Who and DC Superheroes afford us, as well as more recent properties like Stranger Things, and their reach in terms of creating new readers."
The team will be joined by Emil Fortune, who will manage the Doctor Who children's publishing programme and started working at Puffin in April, and editorial director Holly Harris.

Firms function by bringing capital and labour together, under an umbrella of management know-how, to create wealth. For an employee dealing with paper, give him or her a desk and you WILL improve their productivity. Give them two and you probably won't.
For any business, investing in capital needs some serious thought. Investing in IT requires more than most since its gains or its losses may not be obvious. The use and benefit of a desk are obvious. The drawback of the use of two desks is obvious. The same is not always true of IT. See our economic overview of IT.
At Good2use.com we will give your our honest opinion as to how IT will OR won't fit into your business.

We have two devastating epidemics happening now in the U.S. One is heroin. The other is gun violence.
The heroin crisis seems to get more attention in the media; after all, how could anyone support heroin use? But what of the second issue, which claims 33,000 lives annually? That is approximately 93 lives every day. Whether or not a person supports gun ownership, there is no denying that this amounts to an epidemic.
It's too simplistic to put the blame on the "mentally ill" who kill with guns. What about the hundreds murdered in Chicago alone from gun violence? And the suicides? And the fatal shootings in cases of domestic violence? And the accidental shootings of children by children?
The core problem — pure and simple — is the proliferation of guns in our gun-crazy culture. What kind of society promotes target shooting as a form of "family fun" in which young children handle real weapons as though they were water pistols? What message does this give our children? That guns are fun!
Do we want to live in this kind of society?

Om vinteren skal det være koldt og meget gerne sne - det var aldrig mig, der klagede, selv efter flere måneders vintervejr og vente-på-bus-med-dybfrosne-fødder. - Det vil sige: ikke før kalenderen skiftede til marts. Fordi:
Om foråret skal det regne lige tilpas, men blive tydeligt lunere og grønnere. Hvis der kan bestilles høj sol, er levering omkring en helligdagsferie at foretrække.
Og om sommeren skal solen naturligvis skinne. En hedebølge tager vi gerne med, men af max. 5 dages varighed. Stille regn om natten (til haven). Og et par ordentlige tordenvejr, for dramaets og hyggens skyld (ingen ildebrande, tak).
Og nu efteråret. Her skal der være regn&rusk. Og dermed er vejret lige nu faktisk rigtig godt. Dog må det gerne med mellemrum afløses af perioder med koldt og klart vejr, og den der høje efterårshimmel som er så fantastisk. Sådan et vejr, der bare lokker en ud i skoven, hvor man kan gå og sparke til bunkerne med visne blade.
Så som sagt: Dejligt vejr vi har for tiden. I mean it. Men alliwl: kan der virkelig være mere regn deroppe???
@ N ~ little miss T who thinks she gets to be the boss of everything, including the weather, is quite happy with it, such as it is at the moment.
It is wet.
Which fits perfectly with my idea of autumnal weather: rainy&windy. Preferably interspersed with cool, clear days where you can take long walks and kick the fallen leaves around (I am still holding out for those days, and may be holding out for a while yet.)
Still, I wonder. How much more rain can the clouds hold? It has been raining (a little or a lot) every single day in September so far. Of course, my real concern is that the clouds will run out of moisture before December, thus ruining my chances of a White Christmas. A very real risk, as is well known among meteorologists. We can't have that.
I have not been making soups yet, but thankfully my Mom has. It is a blessed life, this teenager version I am enjoying at the moment. In Aarhus, all sorts of grown-up issues abound. Stressful days at work. A house that hasn't been sold yet. A love affair now firmly in the past tense. But once the workday ends, I jump on a train, bury my head in a book, and do a marvellous job of ignoring my worries. Sometimes, they creep to the surface in the middle of the night and wake me from my slumber, but mostly, I succeed in pretending they don't exist. I am pushing things in front of me, I know, and soon there are Things that need to be Dealt With. But for now, this week at least, I wallow in my little family bubble where my meals are cooked and my laundry washed for me. I know it won't last forever..

Jæs. Jeg vidste jo, der var andre end mig, der holdt med vejret! That said - så savner jeg dog også den høje himmel, orange lys og den åhsåsprøde luft, jeg kan trække helt ned i lungerne og gemme til næste regnvejrsdag.

Oh how I envy you your autumnal weather! We had two teaser days of it over the weekend, but now we are back in the 80's again...sigh.
As to how much rain the clouds can hold, my oh-so-scientific answer is "a lot". ;) You see, rain is one of my favorite types of weather (fog being the other), so I love lots of rain. However, even I got tired of the copious amounts of rain we got this past spring. So, if the clouds can hold enough rain to make me tired of it, that means they hold "a lot". Or, to paraphrase another blog I follow, "a metric butt-ton". And, because I will never grow up, that phrase always makes me snicker.
And don't talk to me about fearing a lack of a white Xmas...you won't get much sympathy ('cause I'm evil like that). I think I have seen one in the past 20 years...sad, isn't it? But, if you do get your white Xmas, send me pics so I can live vicariously through you, please. I will even ask my mom to intervene on your behalf from "upstairs". ;)
I'm so very glad you have the family bubble to escape to with all the stressful things going on in your life. Let mom pamper you and let dad treat you like you are still six...recharge your batteries and refresh yourself. Then you will be able to tackle the "serious adult things" that have to be dealt with.
Oh, as for train books, I just reread "American Gods" (Neil Gaiman)...that might be a good train read (or reread) for you.
Also, can you please e-mail me your folks mailing address? I'm FINALLY going to send you the things I got 58 bazillion years ago (ok, over a year ago). In exchange, not only will I mail the package, but I will e-mail you a yummy recipe you might like (ever tried Quinoa?).

January is almost over, and with that comes an entry that will be quite personal. It's related to an event that is happening in my home country of Canada, and I encourage all of you to take part in it...even if you aren't Canadian. I know some of you want me to just do the pop culture thing, and I promise I will go back to that soon. But this is something that I want to talk about, and I hope you'll stick around to read it.
It's an event known as Bell's Let's Talk Day. The telephone company Bell has been raising awareness for mental illness for a few years now, and on the last Wednesday of the month of January, the company will donate five cents for every person who uses the "Let's Talk" filter on their profile pages on social media, or if they use the phrase #LetsTalk on Twitter.
(Actually, I'm not sure if that last part is right, but I know the first part is true.)
(Actually, I'm not sure if that last part is right, but I know the first part is true.)
The money goes towards charities that help raise awareness for mental health issues and supports crisis lines and crisis centres that are equipped to help people of all ages deal with mental illness.
Now the purpose of this exercise is to not only raise awareness for mental illness, but it is also designed to end the stigma that surrounds it. Anybody can be afflicted with mental illness. Any skin colour. Any profession. Any age. Any financial bracket. It can strike without warning, and often times it can take months or even years for a proper diagnosis to be found.
The best way to end that stigma is to talk about it. Sharing your stories. Telling people your thoughts. Educating people on the subject of mental illness. So, I thought that for today, I would talk about my own struggles with mental illness.
I suppose in my case, the one mental illness that I deal with constantly is depression. The difference is that I have my doubts that it is caused by a chemical imbalance or anything like that (though it could very well be). Mine is caused by unresolved feelings of anger that I have struggled with for years caused by a bunch of people who caused me more harm than good.
And how I've struggled with trying to find a place in my heart for forgiveness.
I guess I've talked about how I was bullied throughout my school years. Mostly it was isolation from my peers, but there was some verbal abuse and a little physical abuse as well from my classmates. It was a traumatic experience that I don't want to go through again, but ultimately I have to show my gratitude towards them for making me less likely to take insults and more likely to stand up for what I believe in. I forgive you, but I don't want an invite to any reunions or anything like that. I don't need your approval any longer. Besides. In the grand scheme of things, you boys and girls were far from being the main problem. You were ultimately just a side effect of what the real issue was. In a way, you guys were used too, and I suppose I can't blame you for the way you turned out based on that.
No, I actually blame the people who were supposed to protect me from your teasing and your bullying, and instead made the situation much worse. And I actually blame them for the reason that I have such mental anguish today.
I suffer from depression, social anxiety and low self-worth. And I feel that those thoughts were instigated and brought upon by a school board and several teachers who felt it was their mission to "fix me". In their mind, their sole purpose in life was like the Coldplay song "Fix You". But instead of fixing me, they ended up breaking me.
It wasn't easy going to a school where you were so incredibly different from all of the other kids. Whereas everybody else seemed normal, I stood out for what seemed like all the wrong reasons. I had poor motor skills, I was startled by loud noises, and I walked on my tiptoes because the arches in my feet didn't develop fully.
Now, if I was in school today, it actually might not have been so bad, as schools today seem to figure out what difficulties children might have right off the bat. But back in the 1980s, tests like these did not happen. It was almost as if you were grouped into two different categories. Normal and abnormal. And lucky for me, the school saw me as having the abnormal brain in the bunch.
I stood out all right. I was different. And according to them, being different was bad.
I have told this story before, but when I was a young child, I walked on my tiptoes. As I said before, my arches in my feet didn't fully develop all the way and caused me incredible pain when I tried to walk flat-footed. But did the school listen? No. Instead they took me out of class, isolated myself from my peers for a full period, and made me walk around the school with books on my head to try and correct my walking style. They even arranged for me to go to the nearest children's hospital to see if they could correct my walking style so that I could walk like everyone else. Because apparently, walking on my tiptoes was considered an embarrassment to everybody around me.
I guess I can sort of understand why I became so far removed from my classmates. It was bad enough growing up in a family that didn't have anybody remotely close to my age in it, but to further isolate me from my classmates because I didn't walk properly, or because I couldn't hold a pair of scissors correctly, or because I had a hard time with writing in cursive. I guess that's why I can find it in my heart to forgive my classmates because it wasn't their fault that I saw myself as broken. No, I actually think that the adults at that school - the ones who were supposed to educate me and build me up as a person actually caused me so much emotional stress and turmoil that I feel as though I slipped through the cracks.
What I don't understand is why the various teachers, principals, and school board members decided to focus only on the bad things? Why didn't they focus on the fact that I was creative, intelligent, and put forth the effort in trying to be a better person? Why was it that how I looked and how I acted was placed at higher value than my ability to learn the material presented to me in class? I don't have any answers for that now, and honestly as time passes by, I don't think that I will ever get those answers.
What I do know was that those experiences helped build the shaky foundation of the person that I am now. And while I have done a lot of good things in my life, I still have feelings of how no matter what I do, it will never be good enough. And that is largely based on how badly I was treated when I was a student.
Experiences that lead to me hating myself because I could not measure up to people around me. Experiences that cause me to over-analyze people because I feel as though they are secretly judging me. Experiences that actually had me thinking about taking my own life when I was sixteen years old.
Yeah. I said it. I plotted my own suicide attempt when I was sixteen. Because of a bunch of people who thought they knew what was best for me, but ultimately broke me as a person.
It was like my emotional stability was like a set of porcelain tea cups on a table. The educators within the school system kept poking the tea cups closer and closer to the edge until all of them shattered on the ground, one by one. And instead of helping me clean up the mess, they abandoned me and left me to pick up the pieces by myself. Anyone who has ever tried to glue a teacup back together again knows how frustrating it can be. You try to make it look like it was, but it never will be again. There are cracks that will forever be there. In some cases, fragments of the teacups will be gone forever never to be replaced.
Well, that's exactly how mental illness works. You can do whatever you can to grab the pieces of the broken teacup and glue them together to make it look as it did before it was broken, but it will always be there.
Now everybody's case will be different. Some people are born with mental illness. In other cases, they are a side effect from traumatic experiences that we experience (examples including post traumatic stress disorder, body dysmorphia, or even social anxiety). But it is a very serious problem for millions of people around the world. And in a lot of cases, most people don't seek help for it because society makes them feel ashamed to. In a world where men are considered "weak" for talking about their problems, it is especially hard for us to admit that we might be broken and that we might need some outside help in order to help heal us.
Not fix us. Heal us. And yes, there is a difference.
One of the best ways to start the process of healing is by talking about mental illness. It isn't a sign of weakness. It isn't a crutch. It is an illness. And millions of people have their own struggles with it. They should not be made fun of. They should not be abandoned. They should not be isolated.
They deserve kindness. Compassion. Understanding.
They deserve kindness. Compassion. Understanding.
The reason I'm sharing my story is because my job of healing is not quite done yet. I still have struggles with feeling as though I am not good enough to do the things that others take for granted. I still have massive self-doubt issues. My social anxiety flares to a point where one day I want to socialize with people, and the next I want to crawl into bed and stay there all day watching Netflix. And as far as the depression goes, it too ebbs and flows.
By talking about it here, I realize that I still have a lot of work to do. And I realize that the stigma that comes from admitting that you have a problem is firmly in place in my mind - because years ago I was taught by a bunch of people that being different was bad.
I still have some anger from that period that I have to work out. And as far as forgiveness goes, while I have come to terms with my classmates being rude and have come to understand why it happened and how badly they treated me...I'm nowhere near ready to bestow the magic wand of forgiveness towards the school system that I feel failed me. I don't know if I am ever going to be truly ready for that moment. I guess I feel this way because kids are going to be more honest than anybody in the world and they can say and do really cruel things - but on that token I know that they are too young to understand how hurtful they could be.
But when it comes to the adults in my life during my school years, they WERE old enough to know better. They did the wrong thing believing it was right, were proven wrong, and still went ahead and did it anyway. They were responsible for isolating me from the world because I was different. They were responsible for making me feel like I was worthless because I wasn't the perfect Stepford student in their perfect school. They were responsible for making me broken in the first place, and I don't have it in my heart to forgive any of them for that.
But maybe by talking about it. Maybe by sharing my story and my struggles...maybe that's the beginning of my healing process.

With over ten years experience working within schools delivering curriculum and specialist music teaching across the city, we are the right choice for your school.
If you are looking for music to make an impact we can help. All our lead musicians are classically trained professional musicians who have been selected for their ability to engage young people.
The National Plan for Music Education emphasises the huge impact musical education can have on a child's future- academically, socially and emotionally.
By introducing the fundamentals of music and song during the early years, music can play an essential role in a child's development.
As well as social and emotional growth music can help children with:
Language & Literacy
Children learn to sing before they can speak. Music is the perfect medium for helping children to listen and respond. Listening to music and singing help to improve vocabulary, enunciation, comprehension and an appreciation of language structure.
Researchers have also found a connection between early childhood music and foundational maths skills. Counting and moving with music can help children internalise maths concepts.
Children who take part in our sessions develop many other associated skills including balance, listening, co ordination and turn taking.
We can work with you
to create a unique creative curriculum that meets both national requirements for music and complements your own curriculum.
- Specialists with over 10 years experience delivering curriculum and music workshops.
- We work throughout schools across Manchester for EYFS, KS1 and 2.
- We can deliver specialist instrumental tuition in a number of disciplines as well as large performance groups, including choirs.
- All our lead musicians have enhanced DBS, public liability insurance and safe guarding training.

Welcome to the APIC 2016 Call for Late Breaking Abstracts
Infection preventionists need access to both timely and relevant data to perform their job, but abstract submission deadlines may limit access to the most up to date research and/or novel developments in the field. The APIC Conference Committee has decided to provide an opportunity to submit Late Breaking Abstracts. These clinically relevant abstracts are organized to capture studies that deal with active, current or emerging data on infections and prevention practices that would otherwise not be possible to submit for consideration based on the standard abstract deadline. Such abstracts should highlight novel and practice-changing studies in infection prevention. Examples could include: completed studies that challenge current infection prevention dogma, unexpected outbreaks of national/international importance (e.g. Measles), large cohort studies on major health-care associated infections, data on novel emerging infections (e.g. Ebola, MERS-CoV), or the reporting of new clinical trial data that would have a major impact on the field. Neither laboratory-based nor industry driven studies are typically considered appropriate as late submissions and must be strongly justified. Late-breaking abstracts cannot be a revision of an abstract submitted prior to the standard abstract deadline. The late-breaking abstract deadline is also not intended to be merely an extension of the general submission deadline, so studies that are not truly late-breaking and not of high importance to the field will not be considered.
Abstracts are peer-reviewed for quality of research, educational or scientific content, and impact on infection prevention, healthcare epidemiology, and related fields. The APIC Abstract Committee will consider the timeframe of the data presented as a major factor in their evaluation. Accepted abstracts are scheduled as either poster or oral presentations based on quality of work and anticipated interest by attendees. The same submission rules apply for the late breaker abstracts as for the standard abstracts, but each presenting author may only present one late breaker abstract at the conference.
The call for Late Breaking Abstracts is now closed. Notifications will be sent on May 17.
February 17, 2016 – Abstract submission opens
April 17, 2016 – Abstract submission closes
May 17, 2016 – Abstract notification of acceptance/rejection sent via email to submitter
