Women's Workplace Conflict
A few days ago, I was at one of my corporate client companies, consulting away as usual in my day job. A man and a woman were talking in the hallway right outside the office I was working in. They were discussing a work issue. A third coworker arrived, a woman, and asked the man a question about some paperwork. The man turned to the woman and gave her a very curt answer. He wasn't rude. Just very curt. You know the way some guys get when they're in "work mode" and aren't super polite? Like that.
The woman glared at him and walked back to her office. Later I was told the reason the guy was curt was that four other people had bothered him about the same thing that day, and his patience was wearing a little thin. I'll say again that while the guy could have been a little nicer, he was not rude to this woman.
A little while later, another coworker, a woman who had absolutely nothing to do with any of this, went to the now angry woman's office to ask her a question about what she wanted done with a certain piece of paperwork. The now angry woman screamed, "I don't give a shit what you do with it!", then physically pushed the woman out of her office, and slammed the door loudly.
Of course the woman was bewildered at why she did that, and was now a little pissed off herself. For the rest of the day she was growling to herself, "Get your hands off me." Being a woman, she immediately told everyone else in the office what had just happened, including me. I had already heard the entire thing, being just a few offices down the hall.
For the rest of the day, the angry, coworker-shoving, door-slamming woman hid away in her office with the door shut, and refused to answer the incoming calls to the office, which was her job.
For the rest of the day, people had to scramble to answer all the massive amounts of incoming phone calls because Ms. Angry refused to do what she was being paid to do. For the rest of the day, the morale of the entire office was in the gutter, with everyone gossiping, complaining, and being frightened to go talk to the original guy or either of the now two angry women. For the rest of the day, everyone in the office avoided the coworker-shover, even if they needed her input on key work issues.
Well, so what? What's that have to do with women? Men lose their shit at work too!
I knew you'd say that.
For those of you who have ever worked in an office environment, take a minute and reflect on a few questions.
How many times have you seen a woman cry at work?
How many times have you seen a man cry at work?
How many times have you seen a woman get pissed and lose her shit at work?
How many times have you seen a man get pissed and lose his shit at work?
Want some more? I've got more.
How many times have you seen a woman gossip at work for long stretches about drama when she should have been working?
How many times have you seen a man gossip at work for long stretches about drama when he should have been working?
Here's a HUGE one…
How many times have you seen a woman talking to her kids on the phone when she should have been working?
How many times have you seen a man talking to his kids on the phone when he should have been working?
By the way, what would have happened if a man had physically put his hands on a coworker and shoved him/her out of his office? Moreover a coworker who had absolutely nothing to do with the reason he was upset?
I have said before that I enjoy working with women and woman can be very effective in the workplace, and I stand by that. Of course men do drama at work and waste time on social activities when they should be working. But if you compare them to women, it's no contest. As a professional consultant I have worked in the offices of hundreds of different companies over the last 25 years of my life, and I can tell you for a fact that women do this way more than men. It's not even close.
There is no solution to this problem. This is how women are. Women don't have the logic or emotional control to say "Okay, I'm at work now. I can't cry or lose my shit. I'll have to wait until I'm home to do that." So instead people just cower away from it and accept it.
Yes, men lose their shit too, but men do it less often because A) they have a little more emotional control and tend to be more task-oriented (rather than feeling-oriented) than women and B) men know that if they lose their shit, they're going to be called out on it, and likely punished for it. With women in the workplace this is often not the case.
Oh well. This all reminds me why I don't have employees any more. Thank goodness.

12 Comments on "Women's Workplace Conflict"
Last Summer I had a less than cookie cutter experience with woman drama in the work place; but in the end still predictable. Was working in a warehouse/office enviornment in Southwest Missouri (where most men are very right wing religiously brainwashed betas so a little more prone to a more feminine kind of drama (gossiping etc) than your average American male). Nearly all guys in the work place and most wined, pointed fingers, gossiped and were very, very illogical. One attractive woman working in the office and a few fat and older ones. The attractive woman was in her mid thirties, very work oriented, mostly logical, low drama, had no kids; she obviously wanted her own life and saw the drama and bad work ethics a lot of women have. The other women talked shit about her, tried to feed her fatty foods and generally hated on her. For quit awhile she didn't let it get to her. She didn't gossip. Didn't do anything but go outside and take deep breathes if she was upset.
Both of us being busy and me being one of the only confident, non-judgmental guys around the attractive office worker eventually threw herself at me. Her first big illogical move. I was into it if simply because I wasn't suppose to do it. I knew better. With all the guys who talked about fucking her every time her back was turned and watched her every move, eventually they figured it out. So I had my haters. With keeping that secret and all the shit talking in the office going on she eventually snapped. Told off a few women in the office, acted like the place couldn't be run without her (even though she'd only been there about half a year) and started getting in on the gossip mill. Cried in the office a few times, started talking to friends and family on the phone while still on the clock. So she was fired shortly after. I was lucky I didn't lose my job along side her. 'Luckily one of the managers liked me.
We'd been having sex for months, she got clingy and I got bored. You can guess how much longer that lasted.
Point is even an intelligent woman, who knows the strengths and weaknesses of her sex, who tries to be a stronger individual, not abuse double standards, stay away from gossiping and tearing others down, who simply wants to be an asset to her company…well these women are still surrounded by drama, other women pushing their buttons trying to push them over the edge (nothing like women on women hating) and eventually stress and instinct (emotional reactions first) will kick in. I'd say they'll drag themselves down and at times people around them too…but with today's office politics what they are it might just be a man who takes the blame 'I only did it because Bob called me a whore/slapped my ass/etc". (Even if he didn't). So Bob is fired so the company can cover their ass and guess who keeps her job?
Watch yourselves out there guys, especially around the attractive women in the business world.
If women were equally as good of workers overall or BETTER than men and would work for an iota less dollar-wise than men, companies would be shitting bricks trying to fill their rosters with women.
I think this article would be better if you eliminated 'women' from the title and made the point that, as an Alpha guy, it's important to understand that people can become upset over very little things, and you can look like the "guy who caused it" (and you never want to be that guy).
As it stands now, the article doesn't really drive home a solid point — only that women don't keep their emotions in check as much as men, which is debatable because I could say that a guy shouting and slamming his keyboard while trading is just as bad as a girl slamming doors, shoving co-workers, and pouting. It's all drama, just in different regards.
Maybe you could use an employee or two after all 🙂
that women don't keep their emotions in check as much as men, which is debatable
It's not debatable as demonstrated by relaying my vast experience in office environments and using the specific questions I posed. That was the point of the article, which you seemed to have missed, which is amazing.
The quantity of drama in the workplace is higher with women. I'm sorry to say that, but it's accurate.
I could say that a guy shouting and slamming his keyboard while trading is just as bad as a girl slamming doors, shoving co-workers and pouting
Someone slamming their keyboard is equivalent to someone physically shoving a coworker?
Someone yelling is equivalent to refusing to do your job for eight hours?
Do you really believe the things you're saying?
I haven't read all your writings, but from what I have read, your beliefs are rooted in mainstream good and bad, legal and illegal, right and wrong. This kind of surprises me considering your sexual relationships are very different than what the mainstream typically does. In one way you're at odds with "them" but in the other you're right along side.
There are thought processes that fall in line with what I've said. They just view things differently. For example, they'd say that there's no difference between physically or mentally causing someone harm. You could even say that a shove means nothing compared to the verbal torment that one might cause. It's just a different philosophy.
We should totally apply Tom's philosophy to the legal system and make yelling at someone at the street to be just as bad as physically assaulting him. Hell, we could even start putting people in jail for saying mean things to other people…who knows what mental harm could they cause them??
Its amazing the things guys can come up with just to argue.
Alejandro, there wouldn't be a legal system, or anything. Those things (good-bad, legality, right-wrong) are all imperfect somethings that were defined to try to make sense of the world, but it doesn't hold true all the time and you can argue against each in multiple ways. That's what I was saying: it's all subjective with the mind.
A harrowing thought: have drama-filled workplaces contributed to the decline in American economic productivity?
I'm quite proud my tax dollars have been siphoned off for the educations of the Toms of the world. 🙂
Tom reminds me of my previous fiancee. Seriously. She once made the point that all wars in the world would end if women were in charge of all governments. Women were better leaders, she argued. I took the cue and asked her to lead me to the exit.
Bo, you nailed it. Time to return the patriachy and reboot civilisation.
The law draws a distinction between assault and battery. Physically shoving someone is a battery.
Right and wrong don't enter into it in the workplace as much as does legal and illegal. You do not lay your hands on people you work with unless you are security and that's your job.
BD's point is that for a certain identifiable half of the population, so often what's going on in their internal emotional world is more important than any other consideration, and they have this odd idea that it justifies pretty much any sort of behaviour.
mmm, I see it at home, if anybody loses its shit (mum (ex), daughters) ; it is ok. If I lose my shit, it is bad …

It also means I don't have the energy to pursue several strange and fascinating links I have seen, noted here for future reference for when I feel better:
My great-grandfather's metallurgy textbook
The Online Etymology Dictionary (thanks to daegaer, I think)
The 1990 Douglas Adams/Tom Baker documentary on the future of computers, from nmg
Essay on Amber in Strange Horizons
While I'm thinking of Strange Horizons and my piece on Houellebecq's Lovecraft which I owe them, here is princeofcairo's response, via rfmcdpei several months ago
Also, someone posted in a locked entry that they had attended a wedding which "had a number of peculiarities, apparently as a result of the groom's eccentricities/strange sense of humour - it not only featured the 1662 wedding service, but also an absolutely frightful old hymn he'd discovered via the Flashman books about converting the heathen, with particular and inexplicable reference to Greenland." The hymn itself is apparently here. (WARNING! MUSIC!)

I believe that Mitch changed for the better as the book progressed. In the first few chapters, Mitch was a workaholic and did not take any time to stop and realize what was important to him. He spent all his time working and trying to accomplish more achievements but did not spend any time enjoying them. As soon as Mitch found out that Morrie was dying, he started to gradually change. 2. I think that Mitch got more out of their meetings because through his time with Morrie he was able to re-evaluate his own life and come to a new understanding of the things that are most important. He realized that there was far more to life than working.3. No, I do not think Mitch would have come back to Morrie's house the second time if he had not been semi-idled by the newspaper strike. Mitch would have gone back to work and lived his life as usual.4. Morrie had the opportunity to be tougher, but that was not his way, he simply pointed things out and allowed his students to listen or not, change or not as they choose. If someone has no desire to change or use self-observation to consider their own faults then no amount of 'tough love' or criticism will make a difference and he realized that truth.5. I think Mitch would always have listened to Morrie but his impending death made Mitch more emotionally involved. Death seems to help put things in perspective, it's a rude awakened. Death can turn everyone into a listener. Sadly, it's usually with death does one recognize his mistakes and want to change.6. I don't think this book makes Morrie's death a public event. I think his life was more in the public eye after the TV show but not his actual death. It is similar to other public deaths we've experienced as a society because people get caught up in why the person is dying and their legacy that they are going to leave behind. It is different because we know Morrie better than we know other people through the book, so we are sadder when he dies.7. The pope and countless other religious leaders are obviously a bridge between life and death because they train us for our life in heaven with God by guiding us here on earth.8. I agree I would want to die in my sleep or at least peacefully. Given a choice, I do not think Morrie would have taken that route instead of the path he traveled. Morrie had the opportunity to imply what he wanted to say to the people he cared about and that the people around him were able to say their goodbyes and resolve any conflicts or matters. When someone suddenly dies the people left behind and with so many things unsaid and unresolved causing them pain and heartaches.9. In my experience with loss is different from Morrie. Reading this book can help a person ease the pain of losing someone.10. I feel like Morrie might have had a different reaction if he was Mitch's age. Since Morrie was older, I feel like he got to do many of what he wanted to do and his age and maturity helped him be at peace with the disease and the process. Morrie was very active and ambitious, he might have had more trouble when he was younger. I feel like his overall character would have been deep in him somewhere, so he would have come to the same conclusions after a while. 11. The "effect of silence" was exercise Morrie used to show his students that in silence comes peace and society has a tendency to believe, if you are not busy, you're useless or lazy. By doing this exercise with a group of friends I have learned that I do not have to talk to feel important, I can just listen and feel just the same.12. I think that Mitch and Morrie were meant to be friends, and it was fate that they were reunited after 18 years. I think that it was a coincidence that one of the rare times Mitch isn't caught up in the hustle and bustle of his life and watches TV, he sees a television program about his old professor dying of ALS but still living his life how he wants to. Their friendship is something to admire. They can overlook the age barrier, and see past the illness and just enjoy each other's company with one another.13. The "tension of opposites" is when we want to do one thing, but we do another. We know we should say or do one thing, but we choose to do the opposite. Our society is overrun by this. I personally think the reason for this is because of conformity. Even though we know what we want to accomplish, we are taught at a young age what is socially acceptable, and because of this, we choose to do what others require us to do and not what we want.14. If I were to make a list of topics that I would want to ask Morrie, it would be very similar to Mitch's but I would also add "happiness", "love", and "conformity." I would want Morrie's insight and clarity of these as well as the topics Mitch named. Everyone faces these subjects sometimes throughout life, and I would like to hear what Morrie has to say about them.15. The book is a well-written story that is inspirational to everyone who reads it. When I first read it, I felt sorry for Morrie and then came to realize his message and how he wanted to help. The flashbacks helped show me how even before he was diagnosed with ALS, his whole life was teaching people to be better "human beings." 16. 18. It's just another way of saying follow your own path' … does what make you happy, do what works for you …19. 20. 21. I suppose I agree, I think people can experience the same thing with adoptive children but also if they have to care for another who is sick or disabled. There are so many instances where you have to put others before yourself. Maybe having children in the one way you do it continually there is rarely an opportunity to be completely selfish.22. Mitch never really had a very good relationship with his brother and it only got worse when his brother, Peter, got cancer. Mitch was pushed away by his brother when he found out he had cancer. When Mitch tries to become closer to his brother he moves farther away from him. For example, Mitch talked about his brother moving all around Europe looking for treatments, as well about his apartment in Spain. Peter was independent and wanted to fight cancer alone, and Mitch could not understand that. When they tried reaching him he did not answer Mitch or even his family.23. I do not agree with that advice. An open heart leaves your vulnerable but having an open mind is useful, it lets you accept people for whom they are and hopefully they would do the same for you.24. I absolutely agree with Morrie. You should definitely agree with major issues at least about children, money, work, bills, how to handle conflict, commitment, etc. Think of this: If a woman wants to work outside the home once married but her husband believes a woman should stay home and keep house, they're going to have problems in their marriage. In a marriage, it is necessary that husband and wife, work as and one single unit and how to compromise and talk openly about their issues. Without having the same beliefs and common purpose in life, a marriage cannot work.25. I would not have thought Morrie's lessons have carried less weight if Mitch and Peter had not continued contact by the book's end. I think Mitch still would have learned from Morrie even if he hadn't of made contact with his brother. I think Mitch learned so much more than just that in all areas of his life for it not to of holding any weight.
I'm Dora!

Six religious leaders, five Christians and one Jew, prayed at Friday's inauguration ceremony for President Donald Trump, and for the most part, they stressed piety over politics, offering prayers that could be shared by Americans of virtually any political persuasion.
For the most part, the religious leaders who took part in Friday's inauguration ceremony of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States emphasized piety over politics, offering prayers which, in principle, could be shared by Americans of virtually any political persuasion.
Prior to Trump taking the oath of office, three prominent figures on the American Christian landscape were called upon to offer Scriptural readings and an invocation: Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York, who went first; Reverend Dr. Samuel Rodriguez of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, an Evangelical; and Pastor Paula White-Cain of the New Destiny Christian Center, an Evangelical and televangelist.
Dolan delivered a reading from the Book of Wisdom, asking God to help leaders "to govern the world in holiness and righteousness, [and] to render judgment with integrity of heart.
"Though we may be perfect among mortals, if wisdom which comes from you is lacking, we count for nothing," the reading continued.
Rodriguez read from chapter five of the Gospel of Matthew, from the beatitudes in the Sermon on the Mount, offering blessings upon the poor, the humble, those who hunger and thirst for justice, the merciful, the pure in heart, those who work for justice, and those who are persecuted for doing right.
White-Cain then delivered an invocation, the first time…[READ ENTIRE ARTICLE HERE: https://cruxnow.com/church-in-the-usa/2017/01/20/religious-leaders-inauguration-stress-piety-politics/ ]

- How to Clean a Memory Foam Mattress Topper?
How to Clean a Memory Foam Mattress Topper?
Posted byon
Few things are more enjoyable than the feeling of snuggling down on crisp, freshly washed sheets when you slide into bed at night. And if you're like most of us, you make of point of washing all the household sheets regularly. But do you do the same for your memory foam mattress topper? If not, here are the reasons why you should:
- Allergenic dust mites
- Allergenic pet dander
- Buildup of sweat, oil and dead skin cells
- Bedwetting stains
- Pet stains or odors
If you've never cleaned your memory foam mattress topper, take a good look at it the next time you change your sheets. You may be surprised to see that sweat and oil stains have soaked through them onto the topper. What you won't see, however, are the dead skin cells that also worked their way through the sheets to become dust mite food.
The mites, by the way, get all the moisture they need from the fluid your body releases during sleep. Once they invade your mattress topper, they have everything they need for a nice, long stay. Only a thorough cleaning will remove them.
The catch is that the foam in your mattress topper has a spongy, bubble-filled structure. If water seeps deep inside, it can eventually mildew the entire topper. That puts hosing down and scrubbing it off limits.
Safe Cleaning Methods
As long as your choice agrees with the care instructions included with your mattress topper, you can clean it safely with following methods. Not all memory foam is alike and a cleaning method that's fine for one brand could ruin another.
Vacuuming Your Memory Foam Mattress Topper
If possible, vacuum each time you change the sheets. Removing lint, hair and dirt that could penetrate and damage the foam significantly extends you mattress topper's life.
Tip: Always vacuum the topper before using any other cleaning method.
- Remove the topper from the bed and lay it on an even, flat surface.
- Vacuum it on both sides with a high-suction, hand-held vacuum. Using a soft brush attachment, run the vacuum in circular motions.
- If you have an egg crate topper, take extra care cleaning whatever has collected in its crevices.
Spot Cleaning Memory Foam Mattress Topper Stains
The key to successfully removing small, fresh stains from your mattress topper is to hit them before they have a chance to dry:
- Fill a spray bottle with a solution of 1 cup of water and ½ cup of detergent formulated for delicate fabrics.
- Shake the bottle well to mix the solution.
- Spray the stain just enough to dampen it. Remember, your mattress topper is a giant sponge!
- Scrub the stain with a clean rag or towel. Work in circles from the edges inward to keep the damp area from spreading. Don't apply too much pressure; it can force the cleaner deeper into the topper.
- Dab the stain gently with a dry sponge to remove excess solution.
- Allow the stain to dry completely before using the topper.
Cleaning Stubborn or Dried Stains
To clean stubborn or dried stains, follow the same process but go with a solution of 3 parts distilled water and 1 part distilled white vinegar. No matter how bad they are, never use bleach or hydrogen peroxide. Bleach will just make them bigger, and both will damage or discolour the foam.
Disinfecting and Deodorizing
When a stain results from a bedwetting, housebreaking or other smelly accident, your topper will also need deodorizing. For that, clean the stain and then spray it while still damp with an odor killer. You'll need:
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 6 drops eucalyptus essential oil
- Container with a perforated cap (an old spice jar is ideal).
Simply pour the baking soda into your container, add the essential oil and shake well to blend. Then sprinkle it on the cleaned, damp area. After everything dries, vacuum it off.
- As an added bonus, this study shows that eucalyptus oil is an effective dust mite controller.
- While the baking soda works, keep the family cat and dog away. Breathing the oil fumes could irritate their lungs.
- If possible, let your topper dry outdoors in the sun. Fresh air deodorizes it even more and the sun's rays won't harm the foam.
Steaming Your Memory Foam Mattress Topper
When spot cleaning isn't enough or you're dealing with a serious dust mite problem, steam cleaning the entire topper may be your answer. But check with the manufacturer before trying it. High-temperature steam could break down the foam. To steam clean:
- Place a plastic tarp on the flat surface you'll use when steaming.
- Spread the topper on the tarp and vacuum both sides.
- Set a garment or hand-held steamer to its lowest setting.
- Run the steamer slowly over the topper. Use short bursts of steam across the entire surface. A continuous burst will drench the foam.
- Run dry sponges over the topper to remove as much moisture as you can.
- To finish drying the topper, set a small oscillating fan next to it. Or use a hair dryer on the lowest, coolest setting.
Tip: A thick topper may need two or three days to dry. Put it outdoors in the sun if you can, but prepared to sleep without it for a while.
Finally, while a stain-, odor-, germ- and mite-free mattress topper brings years of restful sleep, it won't last forever. None of these cleaning solutions can completely fix a large, deep or bad-smelling stain. If your topper gets one, just thank it for its service and replace it as fast as you can!

Bollywood's Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan aces challenging roles like none other. And if recent reports are to be believed, Aamir is getting ready for his most ambitious project till date. Based on one of the greatest Indian epics, The Mahabharata, this won't be a single movie but a movie series. Fans can't contain their excitement!
Although, the news that actually caught everyone's attention is that the movie will be co-produced by none other than Mukesh Ambani. Also, the movie will have a colossal budget of 1000 crore. Yes, you heard that right!
Speculations are rife that the movie will be grand in terms of the production value. It is also being reported that international writers will pen down the script to give it a global appeal.
The news was tweeted by Ramesh Bala, a trade analyst down south.
After #ThugsOfHindostan , @aamir_khan will start working on a movie series based on #Mahabharat#RIL 's #MukeshAmbani to co-produce..
This will be mostly in the lines of #TheLordOftheRings , #GameofThrones in-terms of production value..
₹ 1000+ Crs Budget for the series.. pic.twitter.com/iz2kLZW5tv
— Ramesh Bala (@rameshlaus) March 21, 2018
Last year it was reported that SS Rajamouli of the Bahubali franchise was keen on making a film based on the epic and had approached Aamir, Amitabh Bachchan and Katrina Kaif for some important roles. The filmmaker quashed all such reports.
Amidst this chaos of speculations, one thing that does not require any confirmation is Aamir Khan's immense love for the epic. While he was promoting Secret Superstar, Aamir Khan was quoted saying:
Aamir also added that Arjun's character is one of his favorites as he is the only one who questioned Lord Krishna whether it was right to kill his own kin.
There has been no confirmation from either Aamir Khan or Mukesh Ambani about the movie, yet. Until then, keep guessing!

1. Re: ADC input mux select by UDB againBoTa_264741 May 23, 2017 9:58 AM (in response to PiWy_2406846)
can you explain what you trying to achieve? ADC_SAR configuration is typically set by using a customizer.
2. Re: ADC input mux select by UDB againPiWy_2406846 May 23, 2017 1:19 PM (in response to BoTa_264741)
I want to dynamically reconfigure the ADC in flight, to switch between multiple differential and single-ended channels. I also want to use the parallel output of the ADC for rapid range checking.
There are several reasons for not using the customizer:
1. No hardware mux control signals are available to the end user.
2. No parallel output signals are available to the end user.
3. The UDB clock signal is not available to the end user.
4. The generated software files do not support the abovementioned features, neither do they support: sampling time configuration (hardcoded to 4), power mode selection, coherency and overrun configuration and it assumes I want an interrupt.
I want to do rather advanced stuff with the ADC, so the high-level component in its present form is best to be avoided.
3. Re: ADC input mux select by UDB againBoTa_264741 May 23, 2017 4:53 PM (in response to PiWy_2406846)
Piotr, in this case it might be easyer to build new ADC component from scratch using underlying primitives. For ADC bus output you may look at this example.

By Nick Weed & Andrew Nip
The Santa Croce basilica houses a number of art and architecture pieces that illustrate the shift of Byzantine style into the Early Renaissance art and architecture. Late Byzantine art artifacts such as Cimabue's Crucifix – which was damaged extensively in the Florence flood of 1966 – can be found in the basilica's refectory and museum. Early Renaissance art include Giotto's Bardi and Peruzzi chapel frescoes while Early Renaissance architecture within the basilica include Brunelleschi's Pazzi chapel and cloister. In addition, many famous Florentines can be found buried in the nave of basilica, including Michelangelo, Machiavelli, Dante and Galileo.

text: OntarioExplorations101 and OntarioExplorations101 International is a junior exploration and mining company with several predevelopment quarry operations in Canada and around the world. We are a team with dedication, knowledge, understanding, and experience in the mineralogy field with more then 18 years of experience internationally. OntarioExplorations101 was first operated by Omanski Senior as an international consulting company within Chile, Argentina, South Africa, Peru, and Australia. Alex Omanski had taken over OntarioExplorations101 in 2014, with intention of making OntarioExplorations101 an international consulting and mineral exploration company. A large portion of claims held by OntarioExplorations101 are done by a group of claim holders which are hired under contract with agreements to 100% interest in all properties going to OntarioExplorations101. Our mere focus is mainly aimed on high potential mineralized ground for the exploration and predevelopment assessment of mineral and gem deposits in Canada, and internationally. We cover a large portion of claims held for Au-Ag-Cu-Co Sulphide base resources with an interest in optioning and acquisitioning properties that we consider at high value. In 2018 Alex Omanski had made Agreements with John Brior in the acquistion of several claims for an interest of 37% in a newly formed company called Cobalt Crownridge Mining Resources, and a secured payment of $100 million for all claims issue. At this time, OntarioExplorations101 and OntarioExplorations101 International has restarted claim staking on ground previously explored in 2017. New insights were given when assays were obtained for the Bar River Property located in parts of the Cutler Pluton, and the McKim Formation near the Murray Fault System. OntarioExplorations101 International is also working on 100% Interest properties in Peru and Spain with ongoing sampling being done to test new unexplored ground.

Let them be curious
When an adult is shown a photo album, the adult looks at just the photo and maybe recalls his memory.
When a child is shown a photo album, the child thinks of how the photo actually went into the transparent cover, try to move it with fingers, open it, take the photo out and insert it again.
When an adult shows a rattle to a child, the adult may focus on the sound that the rattle makes or how the child is amused with the sound and movement.
When a child is shown a rattle, the child actually questions how the smaller balls that create sound went into the rattle in the first place, may even try to break it open to see how the rattle works.
When an adult gifts a child with a ball that glows when it is hit to the ground, the adult may just focus on how the child would play with it in a bouncy fashion.
When a child gets a ball that glows when it is hit to the ground, the child actually, squeezes the balls, pushes, presses, tries to touch the smaller ball that contains light (that glows upon hitting), hits the ball while pressing the smaller ball and do many more things.
If in all the above and similar other scenarios, the adult has hushed the child away in order to not tamper with the photo album, rattle, toy, ball, or whatever,
Congratulations! You have just managed to get the child to do what you want him to do.
Congratulations! You have just managed to make the child follow 'your' thoughts rather than his own thoughts.
Congratulations! You have just stopped the child from thinking further 'on his own' and even achieved to make him believe that what he has just thought about and tried exploring was redundant and unnecessary.
Congratulations! You have just managed to make the child believe that thinking unique or exploring is not needed, just being with the crowd around is sufficient in life.
And finally, congratulations! You have managed to keep the child away from his own curiosity.

Dan looks ahead to this weekend…
By Matty Paddock - 25/10/2017
Posted 3 years ago
DAN BRADLEY is backing an improving Harriers side to go to Stockport County and impress this weekend.
Edgeley Park has long been one of the toughest venues in non-league, and it's our next port of call in National League North.
While County may have been seen as underachievers in recent seasons, their stature is not lost on Bradley who knows full well that there's a tough afternoon in store this weekend.
However, the former Tamworth man also knows the team are capable of putting in a strong showing of their own.
"Over the last few years Stockport have been strong," he said.
"They just missed out on the play-offs last season so it will be another tough game.
"But every game in the league this year is tough and we have to adjust.
"I think we are doing that a lot better now and our run shows that."
"…the team has come together and started gelling, the performances are showing." Dan Bradley
Harriers have slowly and steadily put a run of results together in league and cup.
The team may not be miles clear at the top of the table, but progress is most definitely there.
"It's well documented that the team wasn't put together in pre-season," added Bradley.
"But since the team has come together and started gelling, the performances are showing.
"It's a squad game and I'm struggling to get a place at the minute – fair play to the lads because they're doing well.
"We'll keep going and come back [on Saturday] and get a result."
Join us at Stockport County this weekend with ticket and travel.

Proper recovery and wellness are essential to maintaining peak performance, staying healthy and reducing the potential for injury. Even incorporating basic stretching techniques before and after workouts is something many athletes forgo. A complete runner knows their limits and takes a proactive approach with their self care. We have a variety of recovery options at our facility that you can incorporate into your training program. At FRC we believe training and recovery are both vital elements to a successful runner's formula.
Looking to try a recovery service?
What is the recovery room?
Our recovery room is located between our two locker rooms. It contains our major recovery equipment like a whole body cryotherapy unit, full spectrum infrared sauna, compression sleeves and a cold water soaking tub. The recovery room is also equipped with entertainment and a TV so that you can relax while you recover.
Do I have to bring my own yoga mat or foam roller?
No. We will provide all the equipment you need to be successful. If you would like to bring your own yoga mat or foam roller, you are more than welcome to.
What should I wear to the training classes and recovery and assessment services?
Leather jacket, denim and shades. Oh and on Wednesdays we wear pink.
On a serious note, athletic shirts, pants/shorts and sneakers are required at all times during training and recovery classes and for assessment services. No bare feet, socks-only, flip flops, sandals or dress shoes are permitted during training classes (no barefoot running please). In certain recovery classes, such as Yoga, the instructor may require you to remove footwear and socks, and it is of course permitted in these circumstances. Many people also bring their own heart rate monitors, headbands and water bottles too. Leave your iPods (if you still use one) and other musical devices at home as we've got tunes covered. If you are unsure or need more specifics please review Client Policy, which can be found here.
For recovery services, the following attire must be worn at all times when using the indicated service:
- Cold Water Soaking Tub – appropriate swimwear
- Infrared Sauna – use of a towel, bathing suit or other appropriate attire
- Compression sleeves – appropriate athletic attire; shoes must be removed but socks must be worn
- Whole Body Cryotherapy – undergarments; boots and gloves and a robe will be provided
- Massage Therapy – appropriate athletic attire
Can I use the recovery services if I'm pregnant?
First and foremost, congratulations! If you are pregnant please check with your doctor beforehand to ensure there are no individual restrictions. For your safety, we expressly prohibit the use of the whole body cryotherapy unit or full spectrum infrared sauna while pregnant.
Can I use the recovery services if I'm injured?
While it depends on the severity of your injury, you may be able to use recovery services to aid your journey back to being a healthy runner or athlete. Please be sure to consult with your doctor prior to using any FRC service while injured. If your doctor is comfortable with you proceeding, be sure to let our staff know about your injury before use of the service.
How often should I take recovery classes and use the recovery facilities?
The frequency you attend classes or use the recovery services depends on your goals and current condition. We will work with you to advise on the frequency you should be using this equipment. That being said, we highly recommend warming-up and dynamic stretching before and foam rolling and static stretching after every training class. Lastly, we have built our membership packages with the philosophy that each athlete should strive to incorporate recovery into their overall training plan in at least a 2 to 1 ratio (training to recovery). For example, we offer a 6 credit a month membership package with the hope that at least 2 credits a month are used for recovery services.
What are assessment services?
FRC offers a variety of services to help you improve your self-awareness about your body and abilities. These assessments deliver diagnostics and metrics that can help you precisely set and measure your goals. These assessments can help determine things like how effective your stride is to the muscle composition of your body. The specific assessment services FRC offers include:
- Gait Analysis
- Complete Runner's Assessment
- Runner's Tune-Up
- VO2 Max
- Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)
- Body Composition Analysis
- Nutritional Counseling
You can read more about what each assessment will help you do on our Assessment Services page.
Why use assessment services?
For most athletes, especially newer runners and indoor runners, keeping track of your progress and seeing measurable results can be a challenge. While fitness trackers are encouraged in and out of class, you need more to help formulate a training program that's right for you. Using tests like VO2 Max, RMR and body composition analysis will help you get the most precise idea of your current health and fitness level and the best path to achieve your goals. Whether you want to lose weight, reach a new marathon time or see how far you can push yourself, these assessments will help you find your formula and tell you if its working! You can read more about these services on our Assessment Services page.
Yoga for Runners, Foam Rolling and Stretching Classes
While you may not see a lion stretch before it hunts a gazelle, we strongly recommend a variety of yoga, foam rolling and stretching to help proactively keep muscles healthy and happy. These recovery elements may be simple compared to others, however, athletes incorporating them into workout routines will become less prone to injury. Some of the other benefits of yoga, foam rolling and stretching include:
- Increased flexibility (especially when done overtime)
- Strengthening and toning of muscles
- Increased range of motion in the joints
- Improved metabolism and energy levels
- Weight loss
- Improved circulation
- Stress relief
- Reducing muscle fatigue
Formula Yoga (For Runners) Class
Formula Yoga class is a perfect addition to the complete training experience for runners. These classes are designed to assist with recovery and injury prevention. The focus of our yoga classes is flexibility, range of motion and core strength. Yoga is also great for providing a sense of calmness and concentration to allow members to properly recover both mentally and physically.
Formula Yoga-tone
Where cardio meets yoga using free hand weights with yoga sequences to intensify each pose for a full body class. The bursts of cardio and the addition of weights spike the heart rate and bring back down to burn fat, strengthen your core, and help you learn to control breathing.
Formula Mobility Class
Formula Mobility class is a 45-50 minute class focusing on full-body stretches and exercises to promote faster recovery and injury prevention by reducing muscle fatigue, improving flexibility and range of motion and educating proper technique. FRC provides foam rollers, straps and mats, but feel free to bring your own stretching equipment as well!
Whole Body Cryotherapy
Running and endurance sports put considerable stress on your muscles and joints, which, if not properly addressed, could lead to injury. Runners and endurance athletes that do not properly recover are prevented from training at a level that will produce optimal performance results. Utilizing whole body cryotherapy as a part of your training formula may help accelerate your recovery process allowing you to get back on the tread faster and stronger and in a better position to crush your performance goals!
Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC) is the use of extreme cold temperatures to help heal the body in under 3 minutes. Temperatures can range from -130˚F to -184˚F. The WBC unit uses a gaseous form of nitrogen to lower skin surface temperature during a two-three minute session. The exposed skin reacts to the extreme temperature by sending messages to the brain that causes the body to go into a defensive (fight or flight) mode, transporting blood and nutrients to the organs in the core. During this process your body starts oxygenating your blood, flushing it of toxins and lactic acid. Your body begins to return to its normal state immediately after exiting the cryotherapy chamber, dilating the blood vessels to distribute heat and thereby increasing the blood flow to extremities. The dilated blood vessels allow you to more effectively distribute this newly oxygenated blood to your limbs and your body starts absorbing this blood which is now enriched with oxygen, collagen and other nutrients and enzymes. Research and clinical studies have shown that WBC can be used to relieve:
- Muscle pain and soreness
- Sprains
- Swelling and inflammation
- Joint pain and stiffness
WBC has also been shown to improve mental health due to the release of endorphins during the cryotherapy session. To find out more about the benefits of using WBC, please click here.
Our WBC unit has its own dedicated room at our facility that allows you to easily access the benefits of WBC without the hassle of hiking back and forth to another facility. While WBC is an important portion of recovery, make sure you speak with your medical professional before using our WBC unit.
The WBC unit is not a medical device as defined by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The information about WBC above is based on research studies conducted by third parties unaffiliated with FRC and has not been evaluated by the FDA. In addition, FRC has not verified the accuracy of such research studies.
Compression Sleeves
Post workout fatigue and soreness are a constant reminder of the routine stress we put on our system during training. While these symptoms are expected, you can use our NormaTec compression sleeves to expedite recovery. They are the same make and model as those used by professional athletes, Olympians and sports teams – all aimed at helping athletes recover faster after a workout. In fact, these sleeves help improve circulation so much that some athletes even use them to warm-up before a workout.
Instead of using static compression (squeezing) to transport fluid out of the limbs, NormaTec Pulse Technology uses dynamic compression (pulsing). NormaTec's patented pulsing action more effectively mimics the muscle pump of the legs and arms, greatly enhancing the movement of fluid and metabolites out of the limbs after an intense workout.
In addition, veins and lymphatic vessels have one-way valves that prevent fluid backflow. Similarly, NormaTec Pulse Technology uses hold pressures to keep fluids from being forced in the wrong direction. Because of this enhancement, instead of tapering pressure off, the NormaTec's can deliver maximum pressure in every zone.
Finally, because extended static pressure can be detrimental to the body's normal circulatory flow, Sequential Pulse Technology releases the hold pressures once they are no longer needed to prevent backflow. By releasing the hold pressure in each zone as soon as possible, each portion of the limb gains maximal rest time without a significant pause between compression cycles.
Some of the benefits of using the NormaTec compression sleeves include:
- Boosts circulation to the limbs and reduces pain and soreness
- Increases range of motion
- Decreases inflammation
For additional information regarding the benefits of using the NormaTec compression sleeves, please go here. Most runners and endurance athletes use these sleeves after an intense workout to help alleviate soreness and expedite recovery. At FRC we have 2 sets waiting for you to give them a try and see how much better you feel after your next workout!
full spectrum Infrared Sauna
While most athletes don't aim to look for something else to make themselves sweat after a workout, our full spectrum infrared sauna is another layer of recovery our members utilize. Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air and therefore can only heat the surface of the skin, the infrared light used by infrared saunas penetrates human tissue, muscles and cells, raising the body's core temperature, resulting in a more effective detoxifying sweat. Due to their use of infrared light, infrared saunas are seven times more effective than traditional saunas at detoxifying the body and may produce a sweat composed of approximately 20% toxins vs. only about 3% toxins with traditional saunas. Infrared is a naturally occurring output of the sun, but does not contain the harmful UV rays, and is therefore completely safe and healthy if used properly (it can be used for hours without the risk of burning).
Our full spectrum infrared sauna is unique in that it uses near, mid and far infrared light resulting in the full spectrum of benefits that infrared light can provide.
Near Infrared is the shortest infrared wavelength and research shows it promotes skin renewal, cell health, wound healing and tissue growth.
Mid Infrared is a longer wavelength that can penetrate deeper into the body's soft tissue where inflammation occurs and helps to speed up the healing process.
Far Infrared is the longest wavelength and reaches deep into the body where toxins are stored to help more effectively eliminate them from the body.
Due to the 3 levels of infrared technology, research has shown that there are a broad scope of benefits that can be obtained from utilizing our full-spectrum infrared sauna, including:
- Detoxification
- Pain relief
- Weight loss
- Lower blood pressure
- Improved circulation
- Wound healing
- Anti-Aging
- Improvement to cell health, muscle recovery and immunity defense
- Relaxation
For additional information regarding the benefits of using a full spectrum infrared sauna, please go here. Our full spectrum infrared sauna has its own private room located inside our Recovery Room so that you can relax in peace as you reap these great benefits. We recommend a 40 min session to receive the maximum benefits from our full spectrum infrared sauna. Those trying the infrared sauna for the first time, may need to work up to a 40 minutes session. While we believe our full spectrum infrared sauna will be a great benefit to you, please consult with your medical professional prior to use.
Cold Water Soaking Tub
Directly after a training session your muscles are fatigued and need to recover in order to be prepared for the next training session. As a part of the recovery process, your blood vessels bring oxygen to your muscle tissue while removing the waste products from exercise, primarily lactate acid. Using cold water immersion through our cold water soaking tub can help to immediately reduce swelling and remove lactate acid from the body. When you sit in a cold bath the cold causes your blood vessels to tighten. This helps flush the lactic acid out of your tired muscles. When you get out of the bath, your muscle tissue warms back up, causing a return of oxygenated blood, speeding circulation to help your muscles recover. Jump into our cold water soaking tub after your training session to experience the following benefits:
- Decreased muscle fatigue and inflammation
- Quicker muscle recovery
- Increased blood flow to the muscles
- Improved performance
- Quicker injury recovery time
For additional information regarding the benefits of using a cold water soaking tub, please go here. Our cold water soaking tub is kept precisely cooled without ice so that you don't get any variation in temperature. We recommend you stay in for up to 10 minutes, however, if you are not accustomed to soaking in cold water, limit your sessions to 6-8 minutes and build up to longer periods of time. While our founders are big fans of cold water therapy and feel its an important part of recovery, you should make sure to consult with your medical professional prior to use.
Sports Massage Therapy
Sport massage targets specific issues in the body such as structural imbalance and inefficient compensation patterns.
Our Sports Massage Therapist uses a functional postural assessment to assess ineffective compensation patterns to help you create functional and efficient movement so you can run better. This is achieved by combining myofascial work, trigger point therapy, neuromuscular re-education and myofascial decompression (MFD) (loosely called cupping therapy) to decrease fascial restrictions that cause pain and increase overall movement and function with faster recovery time.

text: I enjoy baking so much but the last few years, my baking has become more and more limited to State Fair prep/entries and for the holidays. So for 2018, I challenged myself to try one new (hard) recipe each month. For January, our grocery store had blackberries on sale and so I was able to try this Blackberry Cake, which I'd had pinned for ages. It was very tasty but I rushed it after bedtime and I should have given it more time to cool as the icing got a little wonky.

Athletes understand that if they want to perform at their peak, they must remain physically and mentally healthy, this is also key to minimizing injuries. It is equally important to build both physical strength as well as mental confidence that the body is capable of performing at a certain level. Without that level of confidence, mistakes can be made that result in devastating injuries.
Proper training will also impact how a person performs when they are under stress during an intense competition. Preparing the body physically builds both strength and confidence that will help to minimize the risk of injuries or setbacks.
Our biokineticists develop exercise programs tailored to specific individual needs and identify risks by these evaluations.
Body Innovation's Exercise programs include many different types of exercises and techniques that offer a more rounded workout. Strengthening the body in several ways is more beneficial than working with only one type of program. When an injury does occur, we focus our efforts on creating an environment where the injured area has everything it needs to hasten the healing process.
Target exercises, for example, work injured areas without irritating the injury. This reduces inflammation and brings oxygenated blood to the area and encourages the injury to heal much faster. By focusing on the main area of the injury, strength returns much quicker and the risk of excessive amounts of scar tissue is minimized.
While strengthening the area is important, it is also vital that the athlete have full range of motion. This is a gradual process and should not be rushed. Increasing range of motion helps the athlete get to the level of performance they were at prior to the injury and plays a major role in minimizing injuries to the same area in the future.
Being able to restore that range of motion in a timely fashion, while supporting it with proper strength building exercises will provide an excellent indicator as to when the athlete will be able to return to the field. Restrictions on range of motion, whether they be physical or mental, can increase the risk of re-injuring the area and causing lasting damage.
When proper training methods and training tactics are used to help strengthen an injured area, the athlete will also regain the confidence they need to compete successfully. When an athlete is injured, the one thing that settles in his or her mind is, "What if it starts hurting during a game?" Any twinge or sensation can immediately cause them to second guess their movements or alter the way they handle a situation, causing them to overcompensate or move in unnatural patterns. This not only stresses the body, it dramatically increases the risk of injury. Proper training methods restore the athlete's confidence by minimizing injuries, allowing them to have the peace of mind to walk onto the playing field without fear or trepidation.
The key to helping the athlete regain their confidence, is rebuilding strength and re-establishing trust in the injured area. We understand the connection between healing and confidence. In order for an athlete to be fully healed, they must have the confidence to trust that the injured area is back to normal.
Trust that allows them not to worry or second guess their movements when their thoughts should be focused more on what is going on around them. Exercises that allow for a complete healing also provide the strength and stability that the area needs to function at its very best.
Minimizing the risk of re-injuring an area requires fine tuning the exercise program to create the proper environment for healing to take place. The right exercises, the right timing and the right frame of mind are needed to help build a program that restores both confidence and trust in the athlete. This is when complete healing occurs and the mind is allowed to fully participate in the event at hand.

IEA: Low oil prices could lead to energy shortages
Most of the oil supply increases in recent years has come from high-cost production, Badri said, in a reference to supply sources such as USA shale oil. OPEC's higher production levels would keep oil prices depressed and foster a sign of worry for its members' budgets. While the agency believes world energy demand will grow by almost one-third between 2013 to 2040 (due entirely to developing countries) and that an "energy transition" leaning towards renewables is already underway, it ...
Airbus seen close to fresh A320 order from VietJet
That compares with a record $179bn of jetliner transactions announced at the last show in 2013. The order, which was already listed on Boeing's books under an undisclosed client, was the only large plane purchase to be announced since the show opened Sunday.
Exxon Mobil wouldn't lie about climate change, would it?
The probe has been running discretely for months but has clearly shifted to a higher gear after Inside Climate News revealed in September that Exxon had developed a brain trust in the early 1980s to evaluate the dire implications of climate change for the company, only to switch tack later and lobby hard to head off curbs on C02 emissions.
Oil prices tumble after United States inventories report
Most likely, prices will continue to be impacted by other factors, chiefly the slowdown in US tight oil growth, rising global demand, a return of geopolitical risk due to escalating hostilities in Syria, and the flare-up of conflicts elsewhere in the Middle East.

Don't judge a book by its cover. Only most of us do. I present to you two sources of car-crash book jacket design:
Lousy book covers is a Tumblr blog that scours the depths of self-publishing and e-books for baffling examples of cover design. Some of the covers on the site are actually quite effective, and convey the contents well, but many display a desperate need for some professional help. Just because you can write a book doesn't mean you can design its cover.
Are these the 10 Worst Book Covers In The History Of Literature as the writer of this blog would have us believe? Take a look and judge for yourself. I think some of the covers from the first site are strong contenders.

If there's any pest that homeowners detest the most, it would be termites. Termites are worse than ants and roaches because they can compromise the integrity of your home. Termites feed on wooden structures and if they're not eliminated soon enough, they can destroy all wooden pillars in your home, including the foundation.
To effectively eliminate termites, it is important that you learn a little bit more about them first. Termites are social pests that live in a colony. They also follow the caste system. Knowing more how they live will make it easier for you to eliminate them.
A Closer Look at Termites
The four main caste systems followed by termites are the following: workers, soldiers, reproductive, and swarmers. The job of the worker termites is to look for food and feed all the members of the colony. The soldiers, on the other hand, are tasked to protect their colony against their common predators like ants and bigger insects.
The king and queen termites are also referred to as the reproductive. They are there to keep the colony growing. The most important member of the colony is the queen. All termites are expected to provide her ample protection. The swarmers don't normally appear but they sometimes would at certain times or stages during the development of the colony. The swarmers are winged termites and their job is to start a new colony somewhere else.
What Termites Need to Survive
Termites are living species that need key elements in order to survive. These are food, moisture, and habitat. The food of termites is the cellulose that's found in wood and any other products that are made with it. Termites also need water to live but they can do with minimal moisture although it has to be consistent for them to thrive.
When it comes to habitat, termites can only survive in a tropical environment. That's the reason why they are present mostly in summer and other warmer months but not during the winter season. The most common termite species are the Eastern Subterranean Termites and they mostly live underground. But if they were able to detect a consistent source of moisture above the ground, then they can establish another colony. That's why termites end up in the foundation of the house and its walls.
How Termites Affect Homes
A single colony of termites may have a few million members. That's a lot of pests to handle indeed. At that number, they can consume as much as 15 lbs. of wood each week. That is the reason why ignoring these pests is not a good idea. If you do, your home will be destroyed.
To help you in eliminating termites, simply contact a Milwaukee pest control. They are the experts in handling termites and many other kinds of pests commonly found in homes. Ask about their pest control methods and how they can effectively eliminate termites in your home. Call them as soon as you notice any sign of these pests or it may be too late.

Didas on Sale Street is closed. Visit the Didas Wine Lounge and Tapas on 54 Jervois Road, Ponsonby. Phone: 376-2813.
We were off to a gig at Sale Street and looking for somewhere close by to grab a bite to eat. We were very glad to find Didas as somewhere calm to relax and have a wine and some small plates before the loud music and madness commenced.
The interior is lovely, elegant and perfect for a quiet drink although I guess it may get louder on busier days. We ordered the Salmon wrapped oysters with green olive Salsa ($8.50), the Spanish ham and gruyere croquetas ($7), the crispy squid with mayo ($8) and the Spicy chorizo in merlot with bay leaves ($8).
They were all delightful but my favourite was the oysters as the tastes blended beautifully for the perfect mouthful. My dining partner loved the chorizo but it was slightly spicy for my wimpy tolerance.
We were satisfied with this amount of food but if you needed more bulk there are plenty of substantial sides such as Artichoke and Potato Mash ($5) and Patatas Bravas ($6) or even a selection of European Meats and Cheese ($10.50)
They had some pretty delightful looking desserts as well, including Churros with chocolate and drinking chocolate. We didn't try them but are very keen to come back and do so.
