For some individuals, opening up to a therapist comes naturally and with ease. For others, and especially those with social anxiety, talking about oneself is daunting—even when a person knows it's in their best interest to do so. Therapy requires a certain level of vulnerability, and deconstructing the walls we've used to protect ourselves can be difficult . If you're experiencing hesitation about opening up, you're not alone. Here are a few things you can do to ease the process.
5 Ways to Open Up to Your Therapist
1. Find the Right Fit
First and foremost, it's important to find the right therapist FOR YOU. That means that even if a therapist checks all the boxes about what training they've had and what problems the commonly deal with, if you don't like your therapist, research says you won't get better as quickly and deeply as you will if you like your therapist. If you're struggling with addiction, anxiety, or another issue, finding a therapist who specializes in helping patients who have experienced struggles similar to yours is a good place to start. I always suggest then trying the therapist on for size with a couple of sessions. There's no harm in realizing that you're not a good fit for a therapist, and moving to another one. When you've found a good fit, you'll feel more comfortable and thus be more likely to share when you feel ready.
2. Be Open About Your Anxieties
While you may not be ready to open up about personal details and uncomfortable memories or experiences right away, it's a good idea to discuss your concerns about sharing certain thoughts or feelings with your therapist. Simply telling them that you're weary of revisiting certain memories can be enough. Effective psychotherapy requires flexibility from both the patient and the practitioner, so you can both collaborate on setting expectations and boundaries for therapy. There's a myth about therapy that you're going to be required to talk about painful childhood experiences. While that may or may not be helpful, it's certainly not required. If feeling better and liking life more is done be dealing with the present, then that's what the therapy should focus on.
And by the way-it's not required that you know what to talk about in every therapy session. It's ok to come in and let the work happen by itself.
3. Try Journaling
In many cases, not knowing what to talk about can cause stress in itself. To that end, having a general idea of what you'd like to discuss can help you prepare for sessions and open up about the topics you're ready to address. One way to support this practice is to journal regularly. Write down thoughts and feelings you encounter in between sessions, and before each appointment, take a look back and see if there's anything you'd like more help with.
4. Take Slow Steps
You won't have time to share your entire life story during your first session anyway, so don't feel pressured to open up right away. Your therapist will guide you gradually, and you can start by sharing small details about your life as you feel comfortable.
5. Remember the Goal of Therapy
Oftentimes we're hesitant to talk about certain issues for fear of judgment or reprimand. The objective of counseling, however, is to avoid those things. Instead, it's to empower you to develop the skills, strategies, and techniques needed to overcome any challenges you may face. The role of your therapist is to help you, not punish you, in the hopes that you don't have to worry that you'll be judged or bossed around after sharing personal thoughts or experiences.
As an experienced therapist in Mountainside, NJ, Chuck Beardsley LCSW understands that opening up to a professional can take time. For this reason, he takes an individualized approach to counseling in order to find the best method for each patient and their unique circumstances.

The Brazilian government has provided the Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar (PNAE, National School Feeding Program) for over 70 years and it is the largest and oldest School Feeding Program in the world [1]. In 2015, the Program benefited more than 42 million students, with an investment of approximately R$3.8 billion [2]. Brazil is 2nd in the international ranking among countries that provide school feeding to children. In addition to other public policies, the PNAE contributes to the promotion of Food and Nutrition Safety (FNS) of schoolchildren through the provision of healthy food and activities for Food and Nutrition Education (FNE) [1,3].
The inclusion of the dietitian in the PNAE occurred in 1994 after Law n° 8,913/1994 [4] was implemented. However, it was only after the publication of Resolution nº 32/2006 [5] that the technical responsibility of the dietitian was defined within the Program [6,7].
Throughout its history, the PNAE has presented advances in implementation strategies. Within the legal framework in force (Law n° 11.947/2009 and Resolution n° 26/2013) [3,8] the activities for food and nutrition and FNS were established to be performed by a skilled dietitian and hired by the Implementation Agencies (IAg).
The implementation agencies are the municipal city halls, which must offer adequate working conditions for the dietitian and comply with the specified minimum number of professionals per schoolchild, according to Resolution nº 465/2010 [9] of the Federal Board of Dietitians [3]. Although the resolutions are purely normative administrative acts, without the force of law (principle of legality) [10], this Resolution [3] was proposed by experient professionals in the subject and is in agreeement with similar legislations from other countries when it regulates, for example, the acquisition of local agricultural produce, involvement of school community agents in program decisions, and decentralized management [11]. Thus, the resolution must be respected when planning and implementing School Feeding Programs (SFP) in Brazil to ensure healthy eating and promote health in schools.
The dietitian associated with PNAE must perform technical duties [7-9] to achieve the objectives of the Program and assist the promotion of FNS in the school environment. Although it is important that studies identify the profile of the dietitian of SFP and the characteristics of professional training [7,12-14], a gap has been identified regarding research on the adequate number of dietitians and its implications on the Program. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to verify the adequate number of dietitians in SFP and to identify and discuss limitations and possibilities of professional performance in PNAE in the territory of Vale do Ivaí, Paraná, Brazil.
This cross-sectional descriptive multiple case study [15] was conducted from August to September 2013 through interviews with dietitians from nine IAg in the territory of Vale do Ivaí. This region consists of 25 municipalities in the North of the State of Paraná, with about 309,000 inhabitants, representing 3% of the state's population [16]. The agricultural activity in the region is predominantly from family farming, of which 58% of the productive farms depend on domestic labor [16].
The study was carried out simultaneously with a master's research, in which the main inclusion criterion was that the municipalities received beans from. Only nine of the 25 municipalities (36%) met the inclusion criterion and were selected for study, coded as: IAg1, IAg2, IAg3, IAg4, IAg5, IAg6, IAg7, IAg8 and IAg9. Among these municipalities, only IAg1 was considered medium-sized, with more than 100 thousand inhabitants, and the Municipal Human Development Index (M-HDI) is above the state average. The others were small, with less than 50,000 inhabitants, and the M-HDI was below the state average [17,18].
The implementation agencies involved in this research consisted of establishments of the municipal school system with early childhood education and first years of elementary education. The number of enrolled students was obtained from the 2013 School Census [19].
An interview was administered by one of the researchers, a dietitian, to identify the following information: number of professionals working at the PNAE, working hours, time of service to IAg, activities developed at the SFP and other areas of IAg, perception related to the quality of the SFP after inclusion of family farming products, operationalization of technical practice, and main difficulties found in the occupation.
The number of professionals in each IAg was reported by the dietitians. The workload was collected in weekly hours. When more than one dietitian attended the same IAg, the total workload was obtained by the sum of the hours of the professionals working for the municipality.
To analyze the number of professionals and the minimum technical workload required for each IAg, the minimum parameters set forth in Federal Board of Dietian Resolution nº 4.65/2010 [9] were used, which establishes the minimum number of responsible dietitians and technical staff, according to the number of students.
To calculate the workload adequacy, the percentage of work to the total recommended minimum working hours [9] was used and compared to the total workload of the professionals:
The service time at the IAg was collected in years and months and presented as mean and minimum and maximum values.
The activities developed at the IAg, designation of tasks, and perception regarding the food supply from family farming to the PNAE were investigated using a semi-structured interview containing pre-defined but flexible questions, allowing the researcher to investigate other issues that arose during the interview [20].
The activities developed by the professionals, such as the training of family farmers, activities in other areas of the IAg, implementation of bureaucratic activities at the PNAE and assistance in the activities of the School Feeding Board (SFB), were investigated in the semistructured interview (whether or not they carry out the activity). When the dietitian reported developing activities in other areas of the IAg, the researcher inquired about the areas.
Regarding the perception of changes in PNAE, when supplied with family farming produce, the dietitians were asked if they perceived any differences in quality (perceived or non-perceived). The following question was related to the reason for this perception. In addition, 27 items were presented to the dietitians regarding which produce they considered to be the best, the one from the family farming produce or retail market (Chart 1).
|Nutritional value
|Health benefit
|Health risk
|General appearance
|Ease of purchase
|Degradation of the environment
|Social promotion
|Agrochemical residues
|Microbiological contamination
|Form of production
|Economic development
|Presence of impurities
|Presence of insects
|Cooking of grains
|Sensory aspects (color, texture, aroma and taste)
|Capacity to meet demand
|Respect for regional eating habits
|Care related to the standard identity of quality
|Contact, relationship and trust with the supplier
|Nutrition and food safety of schoolchildren
The designation of duties of the nutritionist and the difficulties encountered were approached based on the items foreseen in Federal Board of Dietitians Resolution [9], allowing the interviewee to further discuss the topic, if desired.
The project was approved by the Research Ethics Committee for Human Studies of the Department of Health Sciences of the Universidade Federal do Paraná and the Municipal Secretary of Education of the participating IAg, under registration n° 11460612.8.0000.0102. The participants involved in the study agreed and signed the Informed Consent Form. Confidentiality and anonymity of the interviewees were guaranteed.
Nine dietitians working at the PNAE in nine municipalities of Vale do Ivaí participated in the study. In the municipality IAg1, two dietitians from the PNAE (responsible dietitians and technical staff) were interviewed. The same nutritionist worked in the municipalities IAg7 and IAg9, dedicating 20 hours a week to each one. The number of students and the adequacy of the number of dietitians are shown in Table 1.

RD: Responsible Dietitian; TS: Technical Staff.
Regarding the number of dietitians, the average adequate number among the municipalities was 37%. The lowest percentages were found mainly in IAg with more than 300 students attending early childhood education, a type of school that requires a greater number of professionals. The deficit of dietitians ranged from 1 to 11 professionals. IAg2 presented the highest percentage of adequate number of dietitians (66%) and the lowest workload deficit (20 hours per week). IAg1 presented the lowest percentage of adequacy (20%) and the highest workload deficit (310 hours per week).
The characterization of the professionals regarding the activities developed at the PNAE is shown in Table 2.

Note: The "Work Team" characteristics refers to the Implementation Agencies (IAg) and, therefore, there are 9 answers. The other characteristics refer to the responsible dietitians and Technical Staff (TS) and, therefore, there are 10 answers. The responsible dietitian for IAg7 and IAg9 answered an interview for each IAg.
PNAE: Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar (National School Feeding Program).
The nine implementation agencies depended on a responsible dietitian from the PNAE. The average time of service provided by dietitians was 4 years and the workload ranged from 20 to 40 hours per week.
Most implementation agencies (n=5) had a responsible dietitian and a coordinator on the PNAE team. Half of the dietitians reported working in other areas of the IAg and participated in the training of family farmers. All professionals reported performing bureaucratic activities at the PNAE, assisting the SFB, and they believed that the acquisition of family farming produce results in improvements to the IAg.
When investigating the activities developed by the professionals, it was found that the activities directly related to the acquisition of food, supply availability of the School Feeding Program, and hygienic-sanitary conditions were considered a priority. According to the report of the dietitian from IAg2, the highest workload is dedicated to these tasks. All dietitians reported performing activities that were not foreseen as part of their duties.
The aim of the study was to verify the adequate number of dietitians on the SFP and discuss the limitations and possibilities for professional practice at the PNAE in Vale do Ivaí. Although all IAg have responsible dietitians, none met the minimum number of dietitians for the number of students, as foreseen in the regulation. In addition to the lack of professionals, all dietitians reported having bureaucratic activities and, half of them, working in other areas of the IAg.
The fact that all IAg have a responsible nutritionist is due to the obligation imposed by Resolution nº 32/2006 [5]. However, only IAg1, with the largest number of students (10,078), had two dietitians on the team, which is still insufficient to meet the parameters established by the Resolution [9].
Since the implementation of Resolution nº 32/2006 [5], the presence of responsible dietitians at PNAE has been increasing. Between 2003-2011, the percentage of Brazilian municipalities with dietitians increased from 12% to 79% [7]. However, there are discrepancies among the different regions of the country. While in the North 59% of municipalities have dietitians, in the South this percentage was 85% [7]. Therefore, it is pertinent that research be conducted to diagnose the adequacy in all regions of the country.
The interviewed dietitians use their total workload according to the demand for service in the areas of IAg. Although they agree that the highest workload is dedicated to the PNAE, the percentage adequacy found in the present research may be even lower in practice. This is because the adequacy calculation took into consideration work contracts, since the professionals had difficulties reporting the exact time dedicated to the PNAE.
Failure to comply with the proposed parameters [9] makes it difficult to carry out the technical assignments due to bureaucratic and administrative activities that other professionals could perform. Furthermore, the Program's guidelines specify that the IAg must provide adequate working conditions and comply with the minimum reference parameters [3,8].
Of the implementation agencies surveyed, the workload of the dietitian was 30 hours per week or more in 66% of the IAg. Considering that the current resolution [9] establishes that a minimum of 30 hours per week must be fulfilled by the dietitian at the SFP, 33% of the IAg were in disagreement [9]. The lack of standardization of the workload at the PNAE can be due to the lack of knowledge of the Resolution [9]. A new law or an adjustment to Law nº 11.947/2009 [3] establishing the working hours of dietitians could remedy this problem. This action is required since the resolutions of the boards do not have force of Law and, therefore, do not have to be obligatorily met.
In half of the IAg, the workload of the dietitian was distributed between the activities at the PNAE and other areas of the city hall, mainly in health, social activities and events. This situation has also been discussed in the literature [12,13] and can cause work overload. According to some interviewees, the need to meet other demands of the municipality reduces the time devoted to the PNAE and, consequently, the specific duties fulfilled by them. Insufficient workload together with overwork can generate professional discontentment [13].
All the IAg must annually report the number and workload of professionals working at the PNAE [7]. Thus, the Fundo Nacional de Desenvolvimento da Educação (FNDE, National Fund for the Development of Education) monitors the teams that work for the program. However, the IAg receive no feedback or are requested to comply with Federal Board of Dietitians Resolution [9]. Actions in this sense could help increase the hiring of professionals to meet the demands of the IAg.
The Federal Board of Dietitians Resolution [9] also establishes the obligatory duties that the professional must develop at the PNAE, such as nutritional status evaluation, identification of individuals with special nutritional needs, menu development, activities related to FNE, among others. Bureaucratic activities of the PNAE, such as management, procurement, accounting and cash basis accounting, are performed by all interviewees. Although these are not technical assignments, the bureaucratic activities are performed in part or fully by the dietitian since non-compliance can affect the receiving of financial resources from the FNDE.
Studies suggest that the difficulties encountered by dietitians concerning the management of people and of the PNAE are due to poor professional training as undergraduate courses do not provide these practical experiences [13,14]. However, it is believed that, although dietitians have knowledge, the excess of duties and limited number of professionals makes it difficult the perform all these tasks.
It was found during the research that half of the dietitians perform or assist the training of family farmers. The interaction of dietitians with family farmers and participation in procurement and direct purchasing from family farming were duties incorporated into the Federal Board of Dietitians Resolution [9] when at least 30% of the government's resources to purchase food from the family farming [3] became mandatory.
Family farmers seek help from the dietitian to assist them since they have many difficulties understanding the process of public announcements. Participating in public announcements is simpler than public procurements, however, it can still be complex and bureaucratic for family farmers [21-23]. Tasks such as using a software to prepare sales project, for example, can be difficult to perform. In addition, the dietitian needs to guide the farmers regarding the quality and sanity of produce. According to the interviewees, training is still insufficient to meet the needs of the PNAE. In addition interacting with family farmers, other demands were incorporated into the legislation [3], such as the inclusion of fruit and vegetables, ban on low-nutritional beverages, and restriction of sugar, sodium, and saturated fat. These demands require more work when planning the menus. These requirements also stimulate the acquisition of fresh food (possibly from family farming) and reduction of processed foods.
The inclusion of these new duties increased the work demand of the dietitian from the PNAE due to the greater number of suppliers and the need to manage family farmers. This new approach requires professionals to understand the seasonality and the local production so that they can incorporate these products into the school menus [3,9].
All interviewed dietitians agreed that the inclusion of family farming produce, even with great effort, brought benefits to the SFP, such as improved nutritional value, respect for local eating habits, health benefits and improvement in the FNS of students, which is in agreement with other authors [22-26].
Family farmers, as well as members of the SFB, rely on the dietitian to manage PNAE and advise them, as recommended by the Federal Board of Dietitians Resolution [9]. All interviewed dietitians perform this duty and assist organizing the SFB, leading meetings, conducting school visits, and organizing and mentoring committees for cash basis accounting.
Other activities developed by the dietitians involve the Sistema de Gestão de Conselhos (Board Management System) [8] so that the SFB can analyze the cash basis accounting online. However, many SFB do not have the necessary structure to perform the activities, such as computer equipment and a secretary. Similar to other boards, the SFB counts on the voluntary and unpaid participation of people from the school community, and participation does not always work actively as required by the legislations [24,27]. The municipalities studied are small and medium size and often do not have enough financial support to hire human resources to advise the SFB. The dietitians, as program managers, perform these duties, which may hinder their technical duties.
The School Feeding Board develops relevant work in social control, but it is a challenge for the PNAE to ensure that the board effectively and independently supervises the program [23]. When work of the SFB is engaged and effective, it can influence public management and the hiring of professionals [24-28].
In addition to the aforementioned activities, dietitians must perform activities for FNE and FNS to promote healthy eating habits, fight child obesity, prevent chronic non-communicable diseases, and improve the health of schoolchildren [8]. Actions aimed at the development of healthy eating habits and health promotion, as stated in the Federal Board of Dietitians Resolution [9], are carried out less frequently by the interviewed dietitians, as they require assistance and engagement from other people, mainly for nutritional evaluation, FNE and acceptability tests.
Mello et al. [12] agree that these activities are complex and require planning, availability of materials and support from third parties, resulting in extra workload to be performed. Consequently, other more urgent activities directly connected to the SFP may interfere. For this reason, the dietitians interviewed use matrix models [29] to perform these tasks, when a leader counts on the support of a group to pass on information or develop tasks to reach a common goal. Dietitians provide instruction on food and nutrition to subjects in the school community, such as to cooks, teachers, pedagogues and principals, usually during pedagogical meetings, to assist them in developing FNE-related projects. However, this strategy should be seen as outreach actions and not as a replacement of the dietitian [7].
According to the interviewees, with the excessive work demand and insufficient working hours, activities such as preparation of standardized recipe files, preparation and implementation of a manual of good practices, preparation of annual work plan, and application of acceptability tests are not prioritized. These activities are considered important by dietitians, but these are also pointed out as the most difficult to perform [14].
When dietitians were asked about the activities not foreseen in their duties, they reported that they felt the need to be seen as technical professionals and demand better working conditions. However, they experience the everyday difficulties faced by the IAg to offer quality food to schoolchildren and, therefore, they end up performing these activities. It is noted that dietitians are important players so that the current legal milestones are executed and reach their objectives. However, some authors report the difficulties of dietitians in exercising all of their duties at the PNAE [7,14] due to work overload, since there are few professionals to perform all the activities, as observed in the present study.
Generally, the dietitian is hired by the IAg to act as manager of the program due to the obligation of the PNAE and as a condition to receive financial resources. Considering that funding is a priority for the IAg, it would be interesting for the FNDE to help municipalities meet the number of dietitians per schoolchild.
Nogueira et al. [30] analyzed the PNAE from four basic structures that support it as a public policy. The formal structure is composed of a program legislation; the substantive refers to the people involved (such as the dietitian); the material involves the funding of the Program by the government; and the symbolic is composed of the knowledge, values, interests and rules that legitimize the policy. In this sense, the duties of the dietitians require the combination of these four structures. In order to be able to fulfill all the necessary activities, legislation must be consistent, observed by both the social actors and the State, and in agreement with the symbolic structure that involves the eating and feeding at schools.
One limitation of the present study was the lack of information about the purpose of the dietitians regarding the area of professional activity since, in view of the problems they face, they were not asked if they wished to change the field of professional activity. Yet, since none of the included municipalities had the adequate number of dietitians, the present study only pointed out the difficulties of not complying with the legislation without pointing out the differences if the minimum number of professionals were met. The strong point of the study was the quantitative evaluation of the presence of the dietitian at the PNAE. Moreover, the study raises relevant questions about PNAE management, such as the difficulties encountered to carry out the activities and the need for technicians to assist the dietitian in administrative and bureaucratic activities to optimize the execution of their private affairs.
The number of dietitians and their workload do not meet the legal parameters for the number of students at the IAg studied, although all of them have responsible dietitians for the PNAE. Almost one-third of IAg do not comply with current regulations regarding the professional's minimum workload of 30 hours per week. Insufficient workload and excessive demand for PNAE-related activities may prevent dietitians from developing important technical activities that are exclusive to their daily professional work.
Therefore, the incorporation of new duties for the dietitian of the SFP should be carefully assessed, since the number of professionals in the PNAE has been insufficient. Adequate working conditions, number of professionals and satisfactory workload must be met for the development of activities as established by law. The hiring of nutrition and dietetic technicians and administrative assistants to carry out bureaucratic tasks should be encouraged, as bureaucratic matters are essential for the effective functioning of the program and could be carried out by other professionals. Thus, it is believed that the dietitian can develop activities related to nutritional assessment, monitoring and FNE to improve nutrition and quality of life of the beneficiaries.
To further research in this field, studies should conducted in municipalities that meet the adequate number of professionals for the PNAE to observe the reality of these locations and, possibly, they could serve as models for the implementation of the program.

Getting to know the campus ecosystem
Unitec students and staff have played a key role in the transformation of Unitec in a variety of ways, including how the campus promotes and preserves its ecological values and biodiversity.
A 10-metre modular green wall system will adorn the new Hub building, designed by Renee Davies, Dean of Engineering & Construction and Infrastructure (when she was Head of Department of Landscape Architecture) and alongside an industrial design collaborator.
"It was a chance to develop a unique and highly modern green wall system designed in-house and, which would highlight and promote Unitec's industry collaborations and expertise," says Renee.
The environmental sciences team is currently trialing lichen seeding on the green wall and monitoring the native epiphyte plants that will be planted on the green wall.
The master plan for Unitec has also drawn on a detailed biodiversity strategy developed by Unitec graduate Andrea Reid, when she was studying her Bachelor of Landscape Architecture in 2014 (overseen by Renee).
Andrea's strategy looked at how design interventions could support, enhance and draw attention to the Unitec ecosystem as the new central area is developed.
Her report detailed the often over-looked lichen species that grow on various surfaces around Unitec, such as the rocky outcrops that could be described as hot spots of the campus' native biodiversity.
As Andrea discovered, this includes a rare species of lichen discovered by Unitec's Head of Environmental and Animal Sciences, Dan Blanchon. It was also named after him, Cladia blanchonii, by the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. "I became fascinated by lichens," says Andrea. "I never really thought much about the world of lichens and moss before as a landscape architect."
Andrea's biodiversity strategy also describes how design installations and planting would help insects and invertebrates navigate their way around Unitec and pollinate the campus' plants and trees. Andrea is now working on developing "pollinator pathways" across Auckland, with the first three developed across Grey Lynn in 2016 and 2017.
"I find it easier and more motivating to work on real life projects," says Andrea, of her work on the Unitec biodiversity strategy. "I can get a bit frustrated by projects that might be really cool, but will never get built because people won't have the money to do it, and you don't really learn about budgeting and the real world, or how quickly a project might need to be designed."

Today, after enjoying my Go Daddy experience, I wanted to set up a subscription form for customers to add emails on my website, so I could build a database... this all of a sudden was where my GoDaddy experience began to go sour...
In addition to this, I wanted to add a members only section to my site, only to find out that this cannot be done, although for the same cost on the same package it IS available to US customers... exactly how is this ethical?
I spoke (via the chat function) to someone who truly did try to help, but obviously their hands are tied. This is absolutely abhorrent service from GoDaddy and is one that everyone needs to be made aware of. I used to sing GoDaddys praises from the rooftops... now? I am looking to move to another company ASAP as their customer service is terrible, they are unethical in their package selling, they a deliberately vague in their dealings and what sort of response did I get to my complaint? I was offered a "discount". Below is the conversation...
Solved! Go to Solution.
@HCG I do work for GoDaddy. I am one of the Community Managers. However, sometimes there are issues brought up on the Community that cannot be addressed adequately here. In such cases, it's best to work with our customer care team.
As for the membership feature specifically, please keep in mind that this is not listed as a feature on any of our product pages currently. The feature is not considered in the price of any GoCentral plans. I do understand your concern about prices being the same for different features and thank you for your feedback.
As you can see the agent is very helpful and understands the concerns AND ADMITS TO THE FAULTS OF GODADDY but he is unable to help or generate a refund or suitable discount as its very clear, they think they can just fob people off with lame excuses and pitiful "discounts".
... and so begins the long wait to see if they fix an error THEY ADMITTED they caused in the first place.
Very sorry to hear that you've had an unpleasant experience with our support team @HCG. Quality of support is something that we take great pride in and this definitely doesn't sound like the type of experience we want customers to have. We will have your feedback forwarded on to improve how things are done. We're always looking for ways to get better and we appreciate you sharing your feedback with us.
As for the features that are available in the US, sometimes these are limited due to how the features are implemented. For example, the Marketplaces feature isn't available outside the US because it is an integration with Sellbright, which currently only offers services here. The membership feature is still in development, which is one of the reasons why it's not currently available in all regions. However, there are plans to offer it in other regions, hopefully later this year. Sorry for any confusion.
Im not sure what planet you are from? But just so you are aware, here on planet Earth your response in no way replies, answers or delivers a suitable conclusion.
Furthermore, I am convinced that you have not read the discussion at all, additionally, your first paragraph is a "cut and paste" job ... so so much for your dedication to customer service.
As for your last paragraph, there is no "confusion", as I completely understand that what you are doing is selling a product in Asia, at the same price as you are in the USA, with less services to the Asian product as the US one, there is no confusion, only anger and quite frankly the feeling of customers being shortchanged and conned.
Your own service agent is aware of this and the whole issue has been risen to a higher authority. You, of course, would have known this if you had read the thread, which you all too clearly did not.
But let me entertain your badly written response and point out the absolute absurdity of your response.
You say "the Marketplace service isn't available outside of the USA". What has that got to do with anything? Thats not the issue. You can however buy this as an add on. So are you now telling me (and all the other customers reading this) that this is another feature customers in the US get as part of the same package, but customers in Asia do not get? If this is the case then this is EXACTLY why the service in Asia should be cheaper than the US package, it however is not! So this is a perfect reason as to why this service is so poor, it does not EXPLAIN in anyway why customers should be satisfied, only further dissatisfied.
You go on to point out something else thats discussed well in the thread (that again you have clearly NOT read), I am all too well aware that the membership area of the site is not available in Asia, BUT it is in the USA, ON THE SAME PACKAGE AT THE SAME COST, again further going on to show how utterly ridiculous the situation is.
So in conclusion, if you are going to cite "customer service", try to actually learn what that is and conduct yourself in a correct and proper manner that is befitting of the word "customer service", Im not interested in reading a "cut and paste" response and nor am I interested in having to repeat myself on a thread going over something that has and is continuing to be discussed. Your response is not only bad customer service it also proves exactly my point of why I and other Asian clients are being robbed of a service that is being provided elsewhere!
And you also removed the screenshots of the conversation where your agent admitted to GoDaddy being responsible for the faults... I have saved these also, so deleting them has only further incriminated yourself and your abhorrent service.
GoDaddy once again shows its inability to answer legitimate questions and answering complaints by deleting the thread, even though the concern raised was absolutely in no way answered. This has to be the worst service possible. Screen shots deleted and thread hidden. As a result, I will be posting every day until my complaint is suitably addressed. What a disgrace in the name of "customer service".
I can understand the frustration but you have to realize a few things. The board is mostly covered by volunteers, not GoDaddy employees. We're customers just like you that have been with GoDaddy for quite a while and know the ins and outs of how their platforms work. We answer questions on this board concerning platform or product issues if we can. If it involves access to the backend of the servers or a glitch in programming or an account related issue, we really can't do anything and you should contact phone support or live chat.
So, basically, while we try to help everyone we can, we cannot always provide the solution here and you need to go through the other support channels to rectify your situation.
Good luck with your issue. I hope it works out.
Once your issue is resolved,
please be sure to come back and click accept for the solution

Etiquette When Asking for Help from the Community
Thanks, I appreciate your response (not a cut and paste like the last person posted). Maybe they should give you a job?
Understandably, Im hugely annoyed that someone deleted the conversation post, clearly hiding the admission by GoDaddy employees that they have messed up ... whats worse is that they did this under the guise of "customer service".
Thanks again for your response though, its appreciated.
I'm sorry you didn't find my response to your post suitable @HCG. I'll try to clarify a few points.
The first part of my response above was something I've said in other posts, true. However, that doesn't mean it is insincere. We really do want customers to have great experiences and I'm sorry if you didn't have one.
The "confusion" I mentioned was in reference to the agent you spoke with. It is clear that they didn't explain the situation correctly based on what you shared. I can see how you would feel like you're not getting access to all features simply on the basis of your location. However, as I mentioned above, the membership feature is still in development. Releasing it in one market helps us perfect it before rolling it out to all others. We're a company that's based in the US, so it's not surprising we start there first.
In regard to the images that were removed, all images that are posted in the community are subject to moderation before they become visible to the rest of the community. The images in question were rejected because they depicted a lengthy chat conversation. As a general rule, our moderation team will not approve images that contain conversations with our employees. Likewise, posting the full text of chat logs is also not permitted. This is why the images in question do not appear in the conversation above.
Please remember, as @MrVapor mentioned, this is a community forum. It is meant to be a place where fellow customers can help each other out and connect. If you'd like to take a look at the Community guidelines, you can do so here.
Yeh, so basically, you don't even work for GoDaddy, so why is it you think you can reply or even remotely comment on complaints?
Furthermore, it makes absolutely sense that you think its remotely plausible or acceptable that because GoDaddy is US based that its ok to give them (US customers) a better service first. If the service is not available in Asia, then why charge the same price as the service in the USA. Its that simple. The price in Asia should be less than the US as the package does not include the same available services. Thats a no brainer.
And you removed the images because it showed an agent agreeing with the customer that GoDaddy was at fault, don't patronize me by pretending its anything else.
@HCG I do work for GoDaddy. I am one of the Community Managers. However, sometimes there are issues brought up on the Community that cannot be addressed adequately here. In such cases, it's best to work with our customer care team.
As for the membership feature specifically, please keep in mind that this is not listed as a feature on any of our product pages currently. The feature is not considered in the price of any GoCentral plans. I do understand your concern about prices being the same for different features and thank you for your feedback.

OMG! You can still get Mr. Jones' Mac and Cheese
Mr. Jones may be gone, but their beloved mac and cheese is still around.
(SPOT.ph) The baddest macaroni and cheese in town is about to make a serious comeback. That's right. You can once again enjoy the cheesy comforts of Mr. Jones' Wicked Truffled Mac and Cheese starting Monday, June 20.
Mr. Jones, the gorgeous diner once located at Greenbelt, shut down in late 2014, leaving fans forever craving their sophisticated take on diner-inspired comfort food. Who doesn't miss the Challah French Toast, gourmet milkshakes, and decadent blondies?
Cheer up: Mr. Jones' proprietor The Raintree Group spread out some of the restaurant's bestsellers to their other establishments. The Jones Tapa, for example, is available at Simple Lang and Chelsea Kitchen. It is also currently ranked No. 4 on SPOT.ph's Top 10 Tapsilog (2015 Edition).
Thankfully, they're doing the same thing with the beloved Wicked Truffled Mac and Cheese. According to Raintree corporate chef Kalel Chan, the dish will actually be incorporated in Chelsea Kitchen's updated menu, but it will initially be introduced as a special starting next week.
Their take on this classic comes with a simple cheese sauce dressed in Parmesan shavings, pancetta, green peas, and mushrooms. The original also featured a mix of different kinds of pasta (only one type is used in Chef Kalel's sneak pic). The Wicked Truffled Mac and Cheese consistenly scored a spot on SPOT.ph's Top 10 Mac and Cheese lists.
Chelsea Kitchen has branches at SM Mega Fashion Hall, Mandaluyong City; and Eastwood Mall, Quezon City. Read more about Chelsea Kitchen.

Release and History
Jungle is the name given to the second main expansion of the Pokémon TCG, released a few months after Base Set. In Japan, it was released as Pokémon Jungle. It's based on Pokémon Red, Blue, and Green, featuring Pokémon from Generation I.
The English expansion was released on June 16, 1999, over two years after the Japanese expansion was released, on March 5, 1997. It was originally planned to be released in the United States around August, 1999 (and rumored as late as October). However, since Topps, a competitor, was releasing their Pokémon trading cards earlier in the summer, Wizards decided to push its English 1st edition Jungle release far ahead of schedule, to June 16. Within two weeks, 1st Edition Jungle was sold out, so Unlimited Jungle was released shortly thereafter.
In the Japanese release, it contained 48 cards; however, the English release was expanded to 64 cards, since Wizards of the Coast decided to include Non Holo prints of the Holographic cards. This was a recurrent strategy that Wizards used, in order to both make sets larger, as well as prevent packs from guaranteeing a Holographic card.
The 1st Edition print run of Jungle also accidentally contained the extremely rare 1st Edition Promo Pikachu – also known as the "Ivy Pikachu" card – which in this case differentiated from the promo by having a 1st Edition stamp. It is believedby whom?needs citation! that there was only 1 in every 10 boxes, and is now considered very valuable.
In the Australian release of Unlimited Edition product, Wizards decided to use red lettering (instead of yellow) for the word "Pokémon" on relevant packaging. This included Booster Boxes, Booster Packs, and Theme Decks. This direction was intended to prevent counterfeiting.

Newcomer shows promise for GV cross country
October 8, 2015
In 17 years as the head coach of the Grand Valley State men's and women's cross country teams, Jerry Baltes has built programs that consistently sit atop the GLIAC and make national headlines.
When he gets a young standout runner like Zach Panning, it's bad news for the Lakers' competitors.
In his first two races, Panning has made a name for himself while leading GVSU to promising results early in the season.
A redshirt freshman, Panning was originally on pace to compete for Division I Temple University in both cross county and track and field. In a stroke of good fortune for GVSU, Temple got rid of its track and field program, and Panning decided to bring his talents to Allendale.
"The team was the reason that I decided to come here. When I came here on my visit, they were acting like one big happy family by just joking around with each other and having a great time. Once I saw that I knew that I would fit in here right away." Panning said. "It was a very easy transition for me to make. The coaches made it easy for me to adjust and the team took me under their wing like I was one of them."
In his first college race, Panning earned a seventh place finish at the Spartan Invite hosted by Michigan State. Panning again had a strong showing in his second meet, snagging 19th place at the Greater Louisville Classic with a time of 24:25.06, which is among the fastest times in school history for freshmen on a certified 8K run.
"He has been right near the expectations we had for him so far this year," Baltes said. "We are always looking for a little more performance-wise, but most importantly he is very consistent with his training and fitness levels and is coming along very well.
"He also brings a little bit of freshness to the team, he is very laid back and fits in with the guys very well. The guys respect him a lot because he trains very hard and they are very excited and happy to have a really young and talented individual to help the team moving forward."
Despite it being Panning's first year competing in college, he's already demonstrating a work ethic and dedication that his older team members can emulate, strive for and learn from. A perk of being young in GVSU's system, however, is the chance to learn from those who have been in a position of success on the course before.
"He has tremendous drive. He puts the focus where it needs to be when the time comes," said senior Chad Cini. "He is very calm and collected, with a great focus on what needs to be accomplished and what he wants to accomplish, and his energy is great and it is always going into the right place.
"I want to pass on any little thing I can down to him, or do anything that I possibly can to make sure he has the best success in the future as possible."
Panning and the Laker men will be back in action this weekend when they travel to Romeoville, Illinois for the Conference Crossover meet.
"This team is awesome, and this group of guys is spectacular, I think we have a great chance to do something really special this year as a team, and for the next few years after."

In an interview with Líderes Mexicanos, Alejandro Landa, a Finance Attorney, discussed his focus in the structured finance practice. Mr. Landa added that his career has always revolved around the banking and finance sector, indicating that the financing of different projects requires balance. He also mentioned that a financial and transactional project attorney requires all the more of that parallelism - making the project beneficial for all the parties.
Mr. Landa said, "Its contribution arises from the financial legal structure, which we have combined in a very sophisticated fashion in order to provide guarantees and sources of payment for the different projects. The financing requires that there be balance and parallelism, if this is not the case, one of the parties is usually motivated to default."

During the school year, many of the students I work with have jam-packed schedules replete with extracurriculars, sports, and demanding classes. Adding test prep into the mix can complicate schedules even further. So why not take advantage of the time students have off during the summer to get ahead, so that when school resumes they won't have a heavy additional workload to worry about?
There are many reasons why summer classes benefit students. One of the most obvious relates to what is known as the "summer slide." Most students lose about two months of grade-level mathematical proficiency over the summer. In fact, in a meta-analysis of 39 studies that examined the effect of summer vacation on academic achievement, researchers found that summer break was detrimental for both math and reading skills, and that the amount of deterioration increased with grade-level.
Many times I work with sophomores and juniors in high school to prepare for the SAT & ACT. This research is especially relevant to their success, because by that time the math they are learning is much more advanced than what they learned in elementary and middle school. The potential to forget material over the summer, therefore, is high. By continuing to meet with a tutor, however, not only will students' skills not deteriorate - they will actually improve!
But wait, you might say. Don't students need a break at SOME point? Absolutely! Summer tutoring is not mutually exclusive with taking some well-deserved time off. The purpose of summer lessons is to keep your skills fresh, and to plan ahead so that when the busy school year gets going again, you'll be able to hit the ground running.
The school year is a busy time, there's no denying it! That's why it's smart to take advantage of the time students have during the summer to prepare for the year ahead. Don't let your skills deteriorate!

The Google Pixel 3 is due for a replacement and shortly after introducing the more budget-friendly Pixel 3a, the search giant has dropped its first official teaser for its upcoming flagship, the Pixel 4.
Apart from having the latest hardware, the Pixel 4 appears to come with a significant design change especially in the camera department. This is the first time Google is going for a multi-camera setup for the rear.
Early this morning, Google had tweeted that there seems to be some interest in their next smartphone so they have decided to chip in. Obviously, they are responding to the recent leaks and alleged case moulds for their upcoming Pixel 4 series, and their tweet has confirmed what we've seen so far.
At the back of the device, the Pixel 4 appears to have abandoned its dual-tone appearance and it now comes with a huge square camera module that looks like the Huawei Mate 20 Pro. Instead of placing it in the middle, the squarish bump is placed on the top left corner which is similar to what the next iPhone could look like.
Instead of jumping straight to a triple-camera setup, Google is taking a smaller step by putting two cameras instead. Since going wide is in trend right now, we are guessing that the secondary camera could be an ultra-wide-angle lens. You can expect Google to enhance its camera capabilities further with a lot of AI assistance, especially in HDR and night mode.
The design matches the leaked renders which were shared by leakster Onleaks via Pricebaba. The renders also revealed two speaker grills at the bottom and this tells us that Google is ditching its front-facing stereo setup for a typical earpiece + downfiring loudspeaker combo. The Pixel 4 still lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack just like its current model.
The Google Pixel 4 is expected to launch around October but since Google has already dropped a teaser, it could be possible that it's launching much earlier. You can expect the latest Snapdragon 855 processor as well as Android Q out of the box. Hopefully, this time the Pixel 4 will ship with more than 4GB of RAM.

From experience, to Make Money Online , the best ways are often the least hyped ones.
Working online and earning a living from the comfort of your own home has it's own charm, but the real pulling power of working online is in the ability to determine your own income. Working at a day job will very rarely bring you the level of lifestyle that you desire and deserve. If you are ready to take the plunge and make money online, the best ways to do it will be determined by your level of experience, your interests and the amount of time and money you are prepared to spend learning a system.

The greatest aspect of earning a living online is that regardless of your level of skill, your interests or your financial position, there will be a way for you to get started. If you are serious about quitting your day job and to make money online, here are three of the best ways to do it.
1.Taking Online Surveys
Ok, I know that survey sites sprung up everywhere, but if you do this correctly, taking online surveys is still one of the best ways to start earning money online. You won't get rich and you won't quit your day job, but you will at least make some 'seed money' that you can use to get started with your online business.

This is a great option if you already have a product or a real shop and you want to migrate to the online world. Keep in mind that to make money online the best ways are the ways that suit you best.
3. Create And Sell Digital Products
Most people fail to grasp the significance of the information age. Information has become a commodity and online, information is king. Information products are one of the biggest markets online and the sale of ebooks, mp3 audio and video products are huge. Not only is there a lot of money in this, but digital products require no inventory, no shipping and distribution (all just downloaded products) and the sale of digital products can be completely automated.

To make money online use Internet Marketing the best ways rely heavily on your own committed effort. Once you commit to something then commit to it fully. The differences between someone who earns $10,000 a month and someone who earns $1,000 is very subtle and often the smallest little things distinguish a success from a failure. To make money online, the best ways are the ones that you do and apply to the very end. Find what looks doable for you and then just do it full out

Smart City Wien Framework Strategy 2019-2050
Long-term strategies such as the Smart City Wien Framework Strategy provide the necessary orientation for the city's medium to long-term development. However, the rapid changes make it necessary to review and adjust these at comparatively short intervals. The global climate crisis requires ambitious answers and Vienna not only wants to set standards now but in the future too. This is why the Smart City Wien framework strategy was subject to a readjustment in a comprehensive process, which also took into consideration the results of the first monitoring process.
Municipal council resolution from the 26th of June 2019
The Smart City Wien Framework Strategy 2019-2050 in its present form was agreed upon by the municipal council on the 26th of June 2019. You can download the document in the version of the municipal council resolution dated 26 June 2019 here (only in German).
Strategic orientation and objectives
The second, updated version of the framework strategy is based on the existing strategic orientation and objectives of the Smart City Wien Framework Strategy 2014 and further develops them:
- "Digitalisation" and "participation" were added as new target areas.
- All areas were aligned and linked with the objectives of the "UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development".
- The target areas are no longer assigned to one of the three dimensions of quality of life, resources and innovation. Rather, every target area combines all three guiding principles: aspirations for the radical conservation of resources, contribution to quality of life and social inclusion, as well as a focus on innovation as the pivotal lever for a sustainable development.
- New topics such as adapting to the consequences of climate change, the circular economy and consumption-based use of materials were integrated in the strategy.
- The indicators and their underlying calculation methods were specified.
- Governance principles, methods and instruments (management, coordination, implementation and monitoring) were reflected and adjusted where necessary.
In order to achieve the stated vision, concrete objectives were defined for the different subject areas – from energy and mobility to education and research – which are to be realised gradually by 2030 and 2050. Thus, Smart City Wien is the future strategy of the City of Vienna in the areas of sustainability and digitalisation, and a comprehensive transformation programme for the city. The key objective for 2050 is:
"The best quality of life for all inhabitants of Vienna, while minimizing the consumption of resources. This will be realized through comprehensive innovation."
The key objectives in detail
Quality of Life
- Vienna is the city with the highest quality of life and life satisfaction in the world.
- Vienna focuses on social inclusion in its policy design and administrative activities.
Resource Conservation
- Vienna reduces its local per capita greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030, and by 85% by 2050 (compared to the baseline year of 2005).
- Vienna reduces its local per capita final energy consumption by 30% by 2030, and by 50% by 2050 (compared to the baseline year of 2005).
- Vienna reduces its material footprint of consumption per capita by 30% by 2030, and by 50% by 2050.
- By 2030 Vienna is an innovation leader.
- Vienna is Europe's digitalisation capital.
Building on these key objectives, a total of 65 concrete individual objectives were defined for all target areas. You can download an overview of these objectives here: overview of the 65 objectives
Information about the energy and climate objectives
The Energy Center of Urban Innovation Vienna modelled the energy and greenhouse gas target paths for the different sectors (traffic, buildings, other energy consumption, etc.) as part of the development of the new Smart City Wien Framework Strategy and was in charge of reconciling of the later agreed upon targets. All assumptions and considerations as well as the databases available at the time of the calculation (2018 to the beginning of 2019) are shown transparently in the following documentation (only in German). The documentation is aimed at those who want to understand in detail the considerations that led to the definition of the goals of the new Smart City Wien Framework Strategy.

Apply to TAMS II? The payment system for claims is now open
The TAMS II payment claim system is now open, allowing farmers to submit payment claims under the scheme online, the Department of Agriculture has confirmed to Agriland.
Some farmers, who received early approvals, have been left waiting six months to apply to the claim system.
To date, figures from the Department show that 2,829 approvals for constructing new farm buildings under TAMS II have issued to farmers.

Under TAMS II, individual farmers can apply for grant aid of 40% on investments up to a ceiling of €80,000, this is a maximum individual payment of €32,000.
Farmers who reach this grant aid ceiling are not eligible to apply for any other of the TAMS II schemes with the exception of the Low Emission Slurry Spreading (LESS).
For those farmers in a registered farm partnership with the Department of Agriculture, they can avail of grant aid to the value of €160,000. This applies to applications with two or more eligible partners.
Partnerships containing one qualifying young farmer grant aid will be paid at 60% on the first €80,000 and 40% for the remaining balance.
Farmers who fail to comply with the terms and conditions of TAMS II may be penalised up to 100% of the grant value, this will occur if farmers do not meet the eligibility criteria.

French trades unions will meet with business organisations this Thursday for the start of three months of talks and negotiations on reforming the French pensions system, ahead of a bill of reform which President François Hollande wants to present before parliament by the end of the year. At stake is the reduction of the spiralling deficit of the pay-as-you-go pensions system, which currently costs the equivalent 13.3% of the country's GDP. "Since we are living longer, sometimes much longer, we'll have to work at least a bit longer," said Hollande in May, confirming that the minimum retirement age, set at 62 with rights to full benefits obtainable only after 41.5 years of contributions in unpopular reforms in 2010, is to be further increased. The issue is highly charged politically, with Hollande under strong EU pressure to reduce the public deficit while also facing widespread opposition to any further extension of the retirement age from his grass-roots supporters on the Left. Unions warn that for vast numbers of manual workers, worn out after decades of physically gruelling jobs, a further hike of the retirement age will leave them with few other prospects to look forward to other than ill-health and death. Rachida El Azzouzi travelled to the Charente region in south-west France to meet with employees of a battery-making plant who have spent most of their working lives exposed to toxic materials and working alternating shifts of repetitive, straining tasks. They speak of their dread of another rise of the retirement age and why, if Hollande attempts to do so, he can count on a fierce fight.

In July 1980 I gave birth to my own accountancy organisation. At first as a one-man shop, but soon after staff were hired, and the organisation showed steady growth. My communications are clear and straight-forward, but served with due respect. I'm passionate, even crazy about my job, and I always see the sunny side of things. Besides the position of Director of Wolting & Versteegh, I always find the time and energy to participate in associations of all sorts, and to carry out various administrative functions. In addition, I'm a networker, too, and one that doesn't hide his enthusiasm for the Parkstad region. One of my famed statements was that "we don't have any opportunities for deadbeats, here", which has become a saying that is regularly uttered at our organisation.
Since 1999 I've been active in accountancy. I've gathered experience in the auditing field at BDO, and since 2010 I've been under employment at Wolting & Versteegh. My specialisations are in the fields of consultancy regarding business operations, administrative organisation and internal control, organisational structure, (subsidy-) control, and due diligence. Entrepreneurs feel the need for advice (whether on request, or unsolicited). Our added value lies here. And to that purpose we have an enormous know-how available.
I've been employed by Wolting & Versteegh B.V. since 23 July 1999. Started at the bookkeeping department and after filling the position of 'head administration' quickly pushed through to the accountancy department. I'd found my spot at Wolting & Versteegh in no time, and I became the interlocutor for many clients. In the meantime I made a detour to secretarial services, and performed as management assistant to the Board for a number of years, becoming the interlocutor, not only for clients, but also for my colleagues. Next to my activities for Wolting & Versteegh, I graduated as a bachelor accountancy at the Fontys Hogeschool in Eindhoven. At present, I am working towards the Master International Business track Accounting & Control at Maastricht University, hoping to graduate within a couple of years as a chartered accountant.
