EPA Partners with Best Buy to Recycle Electronic Goods Collected in Iowa Flood Cleanup
Release Date: 07/07/2008
Contact Information: Beckie Himes, 913-551-7253, email@example.com
Environmental News
An official partner of EPA's "Plug-In To eCycling" program since 2006, Best Buy has contracted with the Materials Processing Corp. (MPC), which will recycle 100 percent of all e-goods collected from Iowa's flooded areas.
Through the partnership, approximately 5,544 pieces of electronic equipment will be put on 250 pallets for transporting to MPC facilities in Egan, Minnesota. Six semi trucks will be used to transport damaged materials collected from several Iowa cities affected by June's flooding.
E-goods and household hazardous wastes are included in EPA's current flood response mission assignment from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Since June 22, 2008, EPA Region 7 on-scene coordinators have been working throughout Iowa's flood-damaged areas to collect household hazardous wastes, orphan containers, white goods and e-goods. As of July 6, 2008, household hazardous waste items collected during the Iowa mission totaled approximately 107,203 pieces.
Best Buy's activities in support of the flood cleanup are at no cost to the federal government. They also reduce costs for disposal because the collected e-goods won't be taken to landfills.

For commercial dental practices, investing in advanced dental equipment is an effective means of upgrading their services.
Under the Chancellor's November 2018 Budget, there has been an increase on the amount eligible for 100% Annual Investment Allowance on plant and machinery. This increase is from £200,000 to £1million, and is applicable from 1 January 2019, for a two-year period.
Time to Upgrade
Dental practices are different to one another, despite, on paper, offering the same kinds of treatments and procedures.
Each dental practice offers its own level of service, determined by the experience and expertise of the specific dentist.
Consequently, for commercial practices especially, they must strive to differentiate themselves.
One way of doing this is through the equipment they use to carry out their treatments and procedures. While advanced dental equipment is no substitute for the dentist's own skills, it still carries significant impact in how patients experience their appointments.
Furthermore, dental technology does not stand still, so it makes good professional and business sense for dentists to keep up with the kinds of technological advances that will enhance the services they can offer patients.
Upgrading to new equipment ultimately sets new standards of excellence for a dental practice, helping attract new patients, and retain existing ones.
Advanced Dental Equipment and New Technologies
Modern dentistry has advanced in various areas of technology, including:
- Digital imaging
- Operatory software
- Non-invasive laser techniques.
Whereas some technologies are still evolving, reluctance to invest now could cost dentists in the long-term.
This is especially true in the field of cosmetic dentistry, where advanced dental equipment is often a very marketable asset in attracting new customers for a variety of elective, cosmetic dental procedures and treatments.
This is not a case of keeping up with the Joneses – practices can face a real risk of losing their patients to competitors if they are not in a position to offer key advanced treatments because they lack the equipment.
There is also a risk they could lose talented members of staff to other, more advanced practices, in pursuit of career development offered by access to better equipment.
Patients and dental professionals see the value in advanced dental equipment, and therefore see the value in a practice that invests in it.
Underpinning dental technology's appeal is its potential for unlocking greater productivity for dental practices.
You only have to compare how dental practices once completed patient x-rays with the streamlined efficiency of the process through digital imaging equipment.
How the Annual Investment Allowance Works
The Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) allows business to claim on plant and machinery up to the amount stated.
You can deduct the full value of an item from your profits before tax, providing it qualifies for AIA.
Currently, the amount is £200,000 within a 12 month accounting period.
Under the changes in November 2018, this will increase to £1million over a 24 month period. The idea is to support longer term business investments.
Advanced dental equipment could be one such longer term investment for commercial dental practices.
"Dental technology is evolving fast. Dental practitioners should consider their options regarding long-term investment and helping to differentiate what they can offer in a competitive marketplace. Now might be the right time for them to invest in advanced dental equipment."
Pete Higson, RPA Dental

Last week saw headlines about the destruction and flooding due to Hurricane Harvey in Texas and the monsoons in Mumbai. These events are an important reminder for event planners that disaster can strike anywhere and at any time.
Don't let zombies ruin your event
Today's meeting professionals need not worry about zombies, but there's no time like now to implement your own plan of action for emergency situations.
Planner preparedness: 3 survival tips
As planners, we're more prepared than most others for just about anything that life in the meeting universe throws our way. But what about hurricanes, plane crashes and bombs that go boom?
How secure are you in your on-site security?
Bottom line, nothing makes you feel more secure than having the right people in place to handle whatever comes up. Hiring security is one of the best ways to do that.

The recent study of homegrown digital analytics company, Research and Tech Lab (RTL) revealed that two rival fast-food chains received the most praise from social media users for this year.
From the 2,632 publicly displayed sentiments supporting various brands, 23.35% expressed their appreciation of the heartwarming content of a top local fast-food chain. The rival international brand who used a popular love team, however, accumulated 11.82% of over-all online engagement. A popular healthcare brand (a vapor rub for cough relief) got the second most traction in the study for their ad that centered on family.
Industries that create engaging content through inspiring commercials and videos gained the most praise from users of various digital platforms. From the study, it can be derived that content plays a big part in capturing your audience. Furthermore, this only proves that stories that focus on either romantic or familial love clearly hit a note among Filipinos. These stirring ads also enticed customers to continue supporting the brand.
"We took the initiative to report the reaction of social media users for various brands and industries to help businesses understand how modern-day consumers react to their products and ad content," said Allan Capulong, Founder and CEO of Research and Teach Lab Philippines.
While there are praiseworthy brands, there are also advertisements that netizens' love to hate. Out of 2,290 publicly shared posts that bashed various industries, 50.3% expressed their dismay over a local chocolate brand. The static noise used in the ad gained negative traction and became a trending topic in Twitter.
An e-commerce website jingle received unfavorable reception from online engagers while a formula milk product which uses brilliant kids as its endorser also got bad reviews.
The coverage of the study is from January to October 21, 2018. Publicly available data across different social media platforms relevant to the study were vacuumed by RTL and turned into useable information to help industries.
"In a bid to paint a comprehensive profile of Filipino social media users and reveal their interests and behavior, RTL Philippines continues to spearhead various researches that focus on the digital Filipino, this way we can help companies get the attention of their target market. We are now facing 21st century buyers who are more critical and all we can do is to adapt in the change," Capulong added."
It is also interesting to note that though most of the ads were seen on TV, comments and sentiments were still aired online because there is already no boundary between offline and online media. Tons of data are now available on the internet and we can harness it not only to help a brand reach its full potential but for consumers' sentiments to be heard and addressed as well," he concluded.

Knowing When To Cut And Run
These are looking really good Marie. I'm impressed!
I had a convsersation (argument) a while back about "quitting" - I say there is no shame in making a tactical retreat to regroup and refocus.
Awww...what a cute bunny!! And I love the idea of a not-art-journal: how freeing!! :D
Thank god you gave up the arty stuff, I was worried with everything else, you were going to have to give up sleep to fit it all in!
Love Lucy, especially her red shoes!!
Lucy is adorable!
Just catching up on your blog, Marie. I admit defeat on many things. My friends fondly call me Deanna Stewart, but unlike Martha claims, I am just not good at everything. That's ok with me. ;)
And I LOVE your bunny!!! Makes me wish I knew how to knit/crochet.

YouTube's ad-free subscription offering YouTube Red has commissioned a second season of Toronto-based B-Minors Productions' tween-focused series We Are Savvy.
Season one (20 x 22 minutes) of the half-hour series was originally commissioned by DHX's Family Channel, where it premiered in July 2016. Season two (13 x 22 minutes) has now been commissioned by YouTube Red, which also acquired season one of the series. DHX Media holds global distribution rights for both seasons one and two of We Are Savvy and is licensing the series to YouTube Red for the initial window and Family channel for a later broadcast window.
New episodes are shooting now in Toronto ahead of a fall premiere on YouTube Red.
Though not currently in Canada, YouTube Red is in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and Korea, with plans for additional international expansion later this year.
We are Savvy is an unscripted magazine-style series featuring DIY craft segments, interviews with pop culture stars, peer profiles and special guest appearances. Each episode of season two will be introduced by new host Annie LeBlanc of the Bratayley YouTube channel, which has 4.75 million subscribers.
The show is executive produced by Sam Dunn and Scot McFadyen for Banger Films' kids division, B Minors. New episodes are shooting at Banger Films' studio in Toronto. Jeni Besworth and Adrienne Reid serve as series producers.
In June, YouTube Red announced that it had commissioned an original series, Furze World Wonders, produced by Toronto's 9 Story Media Group.
Correction: an earlier version of this story stated that Family Channel in Canada had not picked up season two of We Are Savvy for domestic broadcast. Family Channel will in fact air season two. Playback regrets the error.

Swedish heavy metal band In Flames release their twelfth studio album Battles on 11th November via Nuclear Blast.
The album was recorded in Los Angeles by Grammy-nominated producer Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Papa Roach, The Used) and the influence of modern American metal on the album is noteable; with uplifting chorus melodies, largely clean vocals, increased use of synthesizers and a lighter overall sound. That being said, Battles retains some of the classic In Flames style, with harmonised guitar melodies a-plenty.
In the "Battles Webisode" videos published on the Nuclear Blast YouTube channel, vocalist Anders Fridén said of the new album "I am super super happy and I think this is another great In Flames album". Fans of the band's older, more celebrated melodic death metal albums may not be so keen on the new direction that In Flames have taken for the past few releases, but the band certainly seem to be happy with the road they're travelling down – "we just try to create good melodies" says Fridén. "We've done the best album we could twelve times now […] I wouldn't be able to do the same thing [as ten years ago] today because I am in a different place". Whilst melodically the album is a little more upbeat than some of their more recent releases, the lyrical theme of the album is one of inner personal struggle.
I have been listening to the album on my commute to and from work for a week, and below is a brief track-by track summary:
Opening track "Drained" begins with an atmospheric, building intro with breathy vocals then chuggy guitars and drums kick in and lead into the first verse. This is a highly emotional song about the breakdown of a relationship, with a largely clean-vocal, sing-along chorus. This is actually one of my favourite tracks on the album and, although it might not be to everyone's taste, it definitely displays unmistakable new In Flames sound.
"The End" was chosen as the first track to be released from Battles, and we reviewed it recently.
"Like Sand" has a relatively delicate intro, but quickly turns into a chuggy and riffy track, with a very big, thumping chorus.
Opening with child-like chanted vocals, clapping, and smattering of synth before the classic harmonized guitars kick in, "The Truth" was the second track to be released from the album. In the "Battles Webisodes! the band explained that these two tracks had been chosen as singles because they "show the variety of the album".
Although "In My Room" is one of the simpler song melodically, it of course still features the classic In Flames harmonised guitar solo. This song, to me, sounds as if it could be featured on the soundtrack to a movie or computer game.
"Before I Fall" sounds like it could easily fit into the tracklist of Sounds Of The Playground Fading It features chuggy guitars and clean-sung chorus and follows on well from In My Room as the song follows a similar pattern.
"Through My Eyes" is much more thrashy and features scream-vocals for the verses and distorted clean-vocals for the pre-chorus and chorus.
Title-track "Battles" opens with a relatively heavy riff which leads into the clean vocals of the first verse, then onto a relatively up-beat chorus.
"Here Until Forever" is another of my guilty favourites from the album. It it is full of emotion and features a soaring sing-along-chorus…I would go so far as to say that it is almost a power-ballard! There is also a relatively high note that Anders hits towards the end of the track which took my by surprise the first time I heard it, and is a million miles away from their earlier melodic death metal albums. I feel as if the influence of recording the album in LA is most evident on this track.
"Is this the life I want to live?" asks Anders in "Underneath My Skin". To me the rhythm of the verses of this track feel a little different to the rest of the album, but the rest of the track falls back into the general pattern…and of course there is a guitar solo!
"Wallflower" begins with a 2:23 minute intro, and at 7:02 minutes long it is by far the longest track on the album. It is also arguably one of the heaviest tracks on the album. The lyrics talk speak of inner turmoil, which is the general theme throughout the record; "I wanna be heard but leave not trace; I wanna be seen, but take no space" sings Anders in the chorus.
Closing track "Save Me" feels almost like a cry for help, lyrically. However musically is a triumphant end to the album; with a soaring chorus and energetic guitar riffs.

Greenspot.Travel Offers Top Experiences in Costa Rica
Vacation Packages David Cogswell October 21, 2013
GreenSpot.Travel is presenting its version of the seven life-altering nature, culture and adventure activities in Costa Rica culled from 30 years of experience offering tour programs to the country. The company looks for programs that satisfy the need for what it calls "adrenaline-pumping adventure experiences" as wall as "in-depth interactions with local people within their communities."
"We spend months every year working with local community members to make it possible for travelers to experience true Costa Rican culture, my culture," said GreenSpot.Travel founder Irene Edwards. The company conducted an unscientific survey of its clients and processed the results through its own experienced staff to come up with a list of the top things to do while traveling in Costa Rica.
The list includes the following: Wildlife viewing in Corcovado National Park; surfing; snorkeling among dolphins whales and stingrays at the Reef of Caño Island; rafting down the rapids of the Pacuare River Canyon; ziplining past Arenal Volcano; a home-cooked meal in a thatched roof home; watching the hatching of baby turtles on the Caribbean coast.

On the way to Köln for New Year's celebrations, we noticed a Turistic-Tafel, one of those brown and white illustrated signs that offer what historic or cultural attractions one can find at the next exit, and since it was just at the start of our journey and it was another fair and sunny afternoon, I decided to investigate.
The town hosted a palatial Renaissance residence for the counts of Nassau, which is now used as a boarding school—including for one in the line, Adolf, King of Germany, who was once on the short-list to become the Holy and Roman Emperor of the Germans but was unceremoniously displaced by the Hapsburg family. Looking at this finely preserved city-centre, one wonders how history would be changed by the detail of that time-line.
This view is from the steps of Hexenturm, whose turret appears behind the ensemble of the old Rathaus below, which means witches' tower, though no witches ever endured an unfortunate incarceration there, the town did have quite a few victims of a series of witch-hunts in the seventeenth century and a plaque at the base of the tower is dedicated to their memories.
Behind the collection of signature Fachwerk (half-timbered) buildings, one can make out the steeple of the now consecrated Unionskirche, originally a Gothic edifice built on the ruins of an earlier Romanesque—the town lying directly on the Limes with quite a bit of revival and other remnants of the far-reaches of the Roman Empire in Germany. The building does seem a bit plain from the outside, but the interior is very ornate, replete with a ceiling of panels from the Gospels. It was a very nice place for a windshield-tour but certainly worthy of more and I am excited to go back someday soon.

T-Dot, aka The Dot, aka Toronto, aka T.O. is a Canadian city on Lake Ontario. It is the largest city in Canada and 5th largest in North America (after Mexico City, New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago). The approximate metro area population of the Dot is 6 million.
T-Dot is the economic headquarters of Canada, with the main business/financial district located on Bay Street downtown.
T.O. is short for Toronto, Ontario. But over time, hip-hop heads added their own style, and instead of just saying "T.O.," they'd say "T dot O dot." Then it just became T-Dot and it stuck!
Area codes
416 and 647 are the area codes for the T-Dot. 905 and 289 are the area codes for the GTA (Greater T-Dot Area).
Etobicoke, York, North York, Old Toronto, East York and Scarborough.

Rapper Blits spits a freestyle from the Parma Court projects in T-Dot.
Every summer, T-Dot blazes with the excitement of calypso, steel pan and elaborate masquerade costumes during the annual Caribana Festival.
Caribana, celebrating its 38th anniversary in 2005, is the largest Caribbean festival in North America. Presented by the Caribbean Cultural Committee, the two-week Festival attracts over a million participants annually, including hundreds of thousands of American tourists (NBA star Shaq comes every year).
Among the highlights is the Caribana Parade, one of the largest in North America. Thousands of brilliantly costumed masqueraders and dozens of trucks carrying live soca, calypso, steel pan, reggae and salsa artists jam the 1.5 km parade route all day, to the delight of hundreds of thousands of onlookers.
Other keynote events include the King and Queen of the Bands Competition and the two-day Olympic Island Caribbean Arts Festival. Outdoor concerts of Caribbean music, calypso harbour cruise parties and glamourous dances round out the entertainment roster.
Caribana was created in 1967 as a community heritage project for Canada's Centennial year. Based on Trinidad Carnival, the Festival now also includes the music, dance, food and costumes of Jamaica, Guyana, the Bahamas, Brazil and other cultures represented in the T-Dot - the world's most culturally diverse city.

2021 Vault Rankings
About Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones
Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP (PSZJ) is the one of the nation's leading corporate restructuring boutiques. Founded in 1983 by a group of Sidley Austin attorneys, the firm has grown to become the largest bankruptcy boutique in the country, with offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, and Delaware. PSZJ attorneys are experienced in representing all major constituencies in bankruptcy proceedings and out-of-court workouts, including debtors, committees, trustees, bondholders, asset purchasers, and third-party plan proponents. PSZJ also handles sophisticated business litigation and transactional matters as part of its restructuring practice.
In the Business of Bankruptcy
PSZJ is the firm to call when only a few dollars (or none) are left in the bank. Its focus on corporate restructuring has brought Fisker Automotive, American Suzuki Motor Corporation, Solyndra, the creditors of A&P, Circuit City, American Eagle Energy, Wet Seal, and even Mike Tyson knocking at its door. Its skill in handling insolvencies has been hailed by The Wall Street Journal, American Lawyer, Chambers and Partners, U.S. News & World Report, and The Daily Journal, which deems it "one of the best firms in the country." As a specialized firm, PSZJ has in-depth knowledge of the nuances of bankruptcy law, corporate law, avoidance and claims litigation, private equity and distressed debt, and general business and commercial litigation in industries and entities as diverse as energy, healthcare, retail, food and beverage, real estate, entertainment, finance, and archdioceses.
International Insolvents
PSZJ regularly represents domestic companies engaged in international commercial activities and foreign entities doing business, or involved in litigation or transactions, in the United States. The firm works with its international clients on a variety of complex financing, restructuring, general corporate, and debtor-creditor matters, and is often recognized for its experience in international or "cross border" insolvency cases. Just recently, the firm won M&A Advisor's "Cross-Border Restructuring Deal of the Year" for its representation of the chapter 11 trustee in the "Restructuring of Georges Marciano," co-founder of Guess. The firm played pivotal roles in cases with major international implications, successfully confirming Solyndra's chapter 11 plan and as lead counsel to Digital Domain, a Hollywood special effects company started by James Cameron.
Repping Both Sides
PSZJ's ability to handle both debtor and creditor work can be seen just by looking at two recent matters in a single industry. Over the past year, the firm was hired as co-counsel in the high profile American Apparel bankruptcy, and was also hired to represent the Unsecured Creditor's Committee in the chapter 11 Wet Seal case. The firm has also been retained by creditors' committees in several high profile energy (oil and gas) cases that have swept the nation.

In case you haven't heard, the Milliron Sports crew is headed to Ohio Brew Week, in Athens, OH this upcoming weekend. I'm a proud Bobcat, even though I left after my sophomore year to pursue my education back home in Cincinnati. There are so many memories (some a little hazy) from my time at OU that stick out, but my favorite memory from an OU sporting event happened in September of 2005.
The Pittsburgh Panthers had started the season ranked #23 in the nation under new coach Dave Wannstedt, who had just the previous season been coaching in the NFL for the Miami Dolphins. Ohio had also welcomed a new coach that year; former Nebraska head coach Frank Solich. Solich was tasked with turning the Bobcats program around, and bringing them back into MAC Championship contention.
On a warm Saturday night in September, Peden Stadium was ROCKING with a record crowd on hand for Solich's home debut on a nationally televised stage. Mac, Whitty (both fellow Milliron Sports bloggers) and I had pre-gamed with some friends in the dorms before heading to the game a little later than we should have. On our way in, we heard the crowd moan, and go silent. Pitt had returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown.
We were down, but we weren't out. Not if Dion Byrum had anything to say about it. The Senior CB picked off a pass and took it to the house, tying the game up. Another drive before halftime, and OU took a 10-7 lead with a FG. I'll never forget Mac heckling Wannstedt as he talked to a reporter heading into the locker rooms at halftime. After the interview, Wannstedt shot us a look; we know he heard us.
The buzz was beginning to wear off for me, as the game wore on. There wasn't a ton of offense from either side; it was pretty brutal to watch in person, especially with my initial expectation of a loss coming our way, and as someone who badly wanted to go get more booze. We took that 10-7 lead into the fourth, and the craziest thought crept into my head: we may actually win this game. The seconds ticked away in the fourth as we held a 3 point lead. On a last-minute drive, Pitt kicked a field goal to tie the game up and send us to OT. And then this happened:
Dion Byrum picked off his 2nd pass of the game and returned it for a TD to seal the Bobcats victory. I was one of the thousands that stormed the field to find a couple of friends that I had on the football team. We celebrated like we had won the BCS championship game that night, and though I may have blacked out, it's a night I'll never forget.

The content of this report will be updated with the latest scenarios based on the global COVID-19 Pandemic
Following the success of craft beer over the past few decades, the spirits industry is starting to take hold of the craft movement. Indeed, there is a shift happening in consumer preferences, away from mass-produced brands and towards spirits made with craftsmanship. Authentic experiences are in demand and more consumers are looking to experiment with innovative and quirky flavored spirits. This has led a number of distillers to increase their craft offerings to gain an early foothold in this emerging market.
Key Findings
There are numerous opportunities within the craft spirits market and this has brought about innovation themes such as the incorporation of innovative and/or medicinal ingredients. However, there are also challenges that distillers must address to be successful. The definition of "craft" is blurred as multinationals can legally use the claim, even when they do not fit the 'official' craft definition. The spirits industry is also dominated by larger brands, making it difficult for small distilleries to gain retail recognition. From these challenges, innovation opportunities are drawn, including the use of events and/or technology to emphasize craftsmanship.
"Opportunities in Craft Spirits" is part of Canadean's Hot Topics research. It explores the top trends and innovation themes within the craft spirits industry.
Reasons To Buy
- Understand the relevant consumer trends and attitudes that drive and support innovation success so you can tap into what is really impacting the industry.
- Gain a broader appreciation of the fast-moving consumer goods industry by gaining insights from both within and outside of your sector.
- Access valuable strategic take-outs to help direct future decision-making and inform new product development.

A Medium for Improving Emotional Intelligence & Leadership
Utilizing Experiential Training to improve Emotional Intelligence
What if we have star potential trapped in us just waiting to be released? What if our identities, our choices, and our destiny are shaped by our emotional experiences? What happens to those who have not had positive Emotional Intelligence learning experiences and what does life hold for them? What about people who already demonstrate leadership skills: can they grow their Emotional Intelligence even further and become even more effective? What can we do to unlock the potential that has been locked up in us? And what can we do to make sure all human beings become the shining stars that they are capable of being? What can we do to cut away the rough edges and find the diamonds that are in each and every one of us?
David, at age 18, was going nowhere fast. He spent his days working in a low-wage, dead-end service job in the hospitality industry. His intellectual training was low, only receiving a high school diploma, without the credentials of a college education. He did not feel he would do much better in his life and didn't actually aspire to achieve much more. He was depressed; his self-esteem was low and getting lower as he turned to using alcohol and marijuana to fill the gaps in his life. His emotional life experience had been programmed: "why try" – life is a dead end for me. Recently, he was given the opportunity to experience a new high-impact Emotional Intelligence Growth training program (Adventures in Excellence) with dramatic results in his level of Emotional Intelligence.
Today at age 19, David has a very different life and experience of himself. Through the growth and healing he experienced as a result of that extraordinary training program in EI (Emotional Intelligence) he is now accepted and is performing as a corporate trainer in the same company that employed him as a service worker. He went from "no-life" to being motivated and moving up quickly in a matter of a few months. The change in David is obvious to all. His passion, joy, and high esteem for himself and others radiate from his being. He not only has higher functioning relationships with the people around him at work but also within his family unit. He shows up as a leader and has achieved many "firsts" in his new position. Others now look to him for guidance and coaching and he is in demand in other areas of the company where he works. Another significant outcome shows up in his control of his previous habit of self-medication using alcohol and "pot." He now has the inner reserves of emotional high self-regard so that he no longer requires the mood altering substances to "feel good." He can generate a high level of emotional "feel good" naturally. He can now manage his emotional state and inner sense of wellbeing.
David's transformation in behavior can be attributed to the growth in his level of Emotional Intelligence. He is only one of hundreds who have experienced significant changes in their lives and their social/emotional functioning after going through the life altering Emotional Intelligence training taught and adapted by Johanne Edwards of Excellence Training LLC. The author is intrigued by the effectiveness of this training and seeks to understand and explain the results by:
A company's performance is significantly affected by the level of its leader's emotional competence" (Goleman). The behavior of those at the top can foster or suppress creative innovation, enhance or undermine performance, and build or destroy a positive climate that creates engaged employees and loyal customers. There are huge costs for leaders who try to operate solely out of intellect and reason, including lost trust, greater distance between managers and those that they manage, lost creativity, and lowered commitment and loyalty. If the greatest leaders have high emotional competency that contributes significantly to their success, is it possible to create experiences that improve both emotional competency and leadership skills?
Emotional Intelligence means making better use of the energy of our emotions, the wisdom of our intuition, and the power of connecting at a fundamental level. The latest neurological evidence shows that emotion is the "indispensable fuel" for the brain's higher reasoning power. EI consists of the skills and abilities we need to operate in the world. On a basic level we need them to cope with stress and remain healthy, meet our emotional needs, connect with others and have successful interactions, learn and make decisions. In all areas of life we are called upon to use our skills of self-awareness, self-regulation, other-awareness, and our ability to manage relationships.
Emotional Intelligence combines short-term, tactical, and dynamic skills that can be brought into a situation as needed. The building blocks of Emotional Intelligence and its overall structure can be improved by means of training, coaching, and experience or practice (Stein).
One's Emotional Intelligence is impacted by learning from emotional experiences, especially if we are learning in the context of interaction with another human being where we experience positive regard (Lewis et al). Our emotional habits of responding to our world as well as our skills are learned through experience and recorded in the limbic area of our brains. The stronger the emotion involved, the stronger the learning and the habit. If we are to change these emotional habits and skills it must happen through emotionally charged experiences with others. Such experiences allow us to know ourselves, know others, create new emotional inter-actionable habits, and create new positive choices for action.
Improving emotional competence is critical to excellent leadership and resides in engaging and growing the following areas:
What would it take to really, permanently raise Emotional Intelligence? Could we in essence re-work some of our earlier programming, lay down new neuro-pathways, and change who we are being? Could we become aware of who we are, what is most important to us, and then better align our actions with what we desire? We suggest that this is exactly what happens to participants in the Adventures in Excellence Training.
Most human behavior is determined by unconscious "programming" – our thinking, beliefs, attitudes, values, core desires, and decisions about who we are. This programming drives our emotional behavior. We can change our behavior over the short term, but unless we change the drivers of our behavior we always revert back to that path of least resistance.
In addition to the more permanent drivers such as personality, temperament, and core desires we have a set of rules or operating principles that come from our life experiences. These rules are well-established pathways in our limbic brains, established early in life through early highly charged emotional experiences. It is the high emotional charge that appears to create the strongest neuro-pathways, and therefore the deepest habitual groove, of responding and behaving. We tend to keep those learned principles to heart because they helped us survive our early negative emotionally charged experiences. It should be noted however, that they have become automatic responses that do not necessarily help us thrive as adults! In fact, because they seem so "right" they can persist even when they are destructive.
The neural connections are strong and the grooves deep so that behavior and emotions will have the tendency to continue to run along these pathways. They become our "template" for evaluating new experiences and opportunities for action. We use our templates or sets of beliefs to evaluate our current experience and make decisions for action. It is very hard to see and act on truly new opportunities in a new way using the old set of beliefs as our predetermined reality. If our original programming is established through highly emotional experiences, perhaps what it takes to get significant change is to recreate the high emotional charge with a different, more positive outcome. The reconstructed template should leave us more nearly whole, complete, and feeling our own value, and magnificence; we will be more able to trust in others and in ourselves.
The Adventures in Excellence program is designed to, and successfully does, provide an environment for the reconstruction of the early emotional template. In the training the environment necessary for transformational learning is created. Over an intense six days training, (2 three-day weekends with a month in between) participants are skillfully guided through a series of games and role plays that continually raise the bar of emotional involvement, intensity, awareness, and expression. All the criteria to make the reconstructive process possible are available during the course, all done in a setting of safety and security, such as:
Johanne Edwards has been teaching this type of intense empowering seminar since 1990. She speculates that there are only 120 trained facilitators in the country who can do this training in a form like the experiential style of her seminar, and there are only two that conduct it like Adventures in Excellence: Fred Lowder in Dallas, Texas is the second; Discovery Training LLC. Since 1990, Johanne has impacted lives and families of over 700 people.
The depth of transformation that people experience has been compared to 10 years of therapy. (Considering the cost of therapy bills these days this could represent a considerable savings!) The change in behavior, general mood, and wellbeing of the participants of the program is considerable. The changes have been long lasting. Participants seem to have tools and resources "on board" to be used to meet new challenges that they did not have before their Adventures experiences.
There are some remarkable examples of outcomes and life changes for participants of the Adventures training. The many changes can be connected to the increased emotional and social functioning of the participant as a result of the training. Some changes occur rather immediately like the experience of David who came away with a significantly improved sense of self-regard. His new choices significantly improved his work situation and career within a couple of months of finishing the training. For others the changes are subtle and take place over the following year as they integrate self-discoveries.
The best way to describe the program and its impact is in the words of participants. These comments are from recent as well as past graduates of the program:
In the Adventures in Excellence Training experience we help remove in a loving way that false mask that gets in the way of a leader's authentic presence. The first step in this game is to help the participant discover the negative patterns of behavior they have adopted so that they can start to break away the mask that stops them from being that charismatic human being that they were born to be. Through gradual "aha" experiences that are orchestrated throughout the training, the participants re-discover their real authentic selves.
In the two weekends, a series of games are played and experienced by the participants. It is experiential training, not lecture or learning by rote. A facilitator leads these games, or exercises. The facilitator has no answers for the participants, only questions and coaching as they are guided to find their own answers. The bar of intensity and opportunity is raised with each exercise. The training assistants that lead the small group exercises utilize the same principles of self-learning as the seminar leader. The participants are met where they are at, not from the facilitator's expectations.
In order to help the participants move through different emotional states, music is used and has been found to be an effective emotional therapeutic tool. A new appreciation for music and what we program our listening with is discovered. Outside of the training music can then be used to shift our mood. We teach that our negative emotions can be shifted instantly if we are willing to make new interpretations of our experiences and new choices.
Some of the first games played have to do with letting go of some judgments and old inner self-talk that is self-defeating, not only in our relationship with ourselves, but our relationships with others. As we discover where we are judgmental we can now have a new view and be less rigid. We have the space to become more accepting and are more willing to embrace diverse people and situations. This helps us grow in the area of adaptability and flexibility.
There is plenty of opportunity to build trusting relationships. "Unless I can come to know what is real about you – something of your life story, what you care about, what you stand for, what you feel as well as what you know – you do not exist for me beyond your name, job, title and appearance" (Cooper). The large group experience helps build and enlarge the sphere of trust within the group since it is more difficult to share how you truly feel with many than with a few. It is out of this sharing and exchange that people learn to create a background of relatedness and a place of understanding.
We provide the opportunity for honest feedback from the group members as relationships become more open. This is a very stressful and emotionally intense time during the training. The participants find it takes more courage to give a feedback critique than it does to receive one. Participants take some time to digest and assess the feedback. They try it on like a coat to see if it fits, and lo and behold an epiphany. Then, in that moment, a new opening for self-discovery and honesty occurs, a chance to see their own denied behavior.
This feedback is necessary in order for participants to break out of the behavioral patterns and blind spots that keep them stuck. Change is difficult for us all, but we cannot heal or change what we do not acknowledge. In order for us to alter our behaviors we must first get out of our denial and be willing to look at our blind spots and let down our masks. "Unless you own up to the ways you have been dishonest with yourself you will be looking in the wrong places" (McGraw).
Participants have an opportunity to look deep inside for that unknown potential. Through open discussion and interview, participants are gradually and effectively moved through their denial about how they create negative life experiences and close the door to loving relationships or fulfilling life experiences. They begin to see the drivers of their behavior for good and ill.
There are several occasions throughout the training for the participants to evaluate how they are behaving in relation to their agreements, commitments, accountabilities, and responsibilities. They learn what agreements they continually break, not just with others but also with themselves, and which ones they are good at keeping. They discover where they are out of integrity with their word and who they say they are. We are all dishonest, especially when we value peace and harmony over integrity. All the suffering that we create in our lives is the result of being out of integrity with our word and who we really are. It is out of this self-assessment of "who we are in the matter of our word" that we learn more about emotional honesty and integrity.
During the course there are moments of silence, reflection, journaling and meditation where participants can take a moment to stop the internal chatterbox. This gives us the chance to see how we are feeling and assess our emotional states. During these moments of silence our inner voice can be heard as well as our growing intuitive sense.
Ninety-five percent of all communications are non-verbal. That is why in the training we focus much of our attention on body language, making eye contact, and observing emotional shifts in others as well as ourselves. In the training there are games that focus on the areas of listening and observing. There are many opportunities to get up and share with the group, and sometimes this causes emotional stress (we all know by now that speaking in public is a greater fear than death for most adults). At the end of the training the participants are better communicators and are more understanding and appreciative of the non-verbal nuances. They can talk without prepared remarks and are better able to speak to a group and come from the heart. It is those speakers who can come from the heart who are the ones able to move the room emotionally. A leader who cannot connect to the hearts of his followers may find himself on a walk by himself.
The training sets up dramas where participants experience constructive discontent. Participants role-play stressful situations where they can observe how others and they themselves operate. There is a sense of urgency created in the game, and participants are given practice at being decisive, not being judged or punished for their decision, and moving through their fear. This instills in them willingness and a confidence to take the initiative in stressful situations outside of the seminar room. They also get to see how much anxiety they create on their own from their own expectations. After these games, participants are more comfortable with being uncomfortable and are more able to take risks to solve problems and get out of their own way. This process builds confidence and resilience.
A major aspect of the training is in understanding and managing our emotional states and triggers. Those trigger points are old wounds from the past and are relived when we feel the same old feelings. The two major emotional states that we address in the training are anger and guilt. Who are you angry with, and what do you feel guilty about? The Adventures experience captures those past moments, which in many cases have been unresolved for years. Participants have been stuck going around and around in the same feeling space, looking for a different outcome. Anger and Guilt are released and new pathways are created. With the release a new future, one not based on the past, is created. Participants are more willing to take risks and find they are not trapped by their feelings. They no longer feel the need to shut out how they feel. Many are able to be more assertive, express their feelings, and engage a personal power to solve life's problems. They have a sense of their own authority.
At the end of the course many people have a major shift in wellbeing, general health, and mood as well as their energy levels and vitality. Participants have reported success in recovery from addictions such as smoking, drinking, drugs, and over-eating. They have also indicated lowered blood pressure, less stomach distress, reduction in body aches and pains including migraines, and being able to get off of anti-depressants and painkillers. Some say they are able to sleep at night. Others say they don't need to sleep as much. Significant physical changes occur even in facial appearance.
Emotional Intelligence has been shown to be critical to success. There has been much written to describe it, but we have noticed a gap in the availability of education that brings about real and permanent change in EI. Since these skills are critical to success, having methods to grow and produce lasting change is essential. There have been many such change agents and processes in the past: psychotherapy, psychoactive medication, and self-help programs (such as Alcoholics Anonymous) to name a few, that can and do bring about dramatic transformation in the individual's behavior. The downside of these methods is they generally take years to produce significant change. Cognitive and behavioral training have been helpful too, but have had more limited success in changing behavior. With all the EI training going on we wonder why it is that we don't regularly achieve these results and why the efforts to improve emotional competencies so often fall short of our goals?
Goleman, Boyatzis and McKee in Primal Leadership establish that high Emotional Intelligence, particularly in leadership, is critical to organizational effectiveness. The challenge is to significantly improve the EI capabilities of leadership in a time frame that takes business reality into account. Most improvement models that we are aware of produce significant change over years, if ever. When business results depend on a leader's ability to be clear about the vision and move people towards that vision, the more skillful a leader can be the better. What if the gaps could be addressed in a matter of months rather than years? What if all it took to move an organization or an individual toward excellence was the experience of love applied in a systematic fashion?
Robert Quinn points out in his book DEEP CHANGE that organizational transformation can only occur when there is deep personal transformation at the level of leadership. The leader with heart is the leader that captures the will and power of the people. Imagine the impact on an organization when its top management transforms their ability to be present, focuses on what is important for the organization, and is decisive while responding to the emotional heart of the organization. Adventures in Excellence presents intriguing possibilities for rapid organizational change and for leadership development from the inside out. Marry this training approach with the longer-term techniques of coaching and on-going support and there will definitely be a shift in a company's ability to orchestrate change, build team performance and maximize individual performance. With all individuals radiating their diamond qualities there will be no end to the possibilities.
The Adventures in Excellence training is a significant break-through for Emotional Intelligence training. The course provides the environment that makes real and lasting change possible for anyone who is willing to take the journey into emotional self-exploration. We see the training as a significant resource for personal growth, and the potential application to organizational development is huge. We have only just begun to study the effectiveness of this model and we look forward to further study and especially helping many more people to wellbeing and success through this most effective EI training: Adventures in Excellence. We also hope that the reader will consider investigating this approach as well and be intrigued by the personal possibility of finding and polishing the diamonds that are within.

Perennial Solutions: Heucherella 'Autumn Cascade'
Heucherella is an intergeneric cross between heuchera and tiarella. They've become increasingly popular, but are still overshadowed by the popularity of heuchera, one of its parents. Originally, heucherella cultivars were much like their parents and formed attractive mounded habits, but in recent years breeding efforts have led to the selection of cultivars with trailing habits.
Heucheralla 'Autumn Cascade' is one of the latest trailing introductions from Terra Nova Nurseries. It was developed by Janet N. Egger of Danby, Oregon. 'Autumn Cascade' has soft shades of brick red to reddish tan leaf colorations, cutely lobed foliage and a low growing, trailing habit. The foliage only reaches 4 to 6 inches in height but easily spreads to 3 feet across. The 14-inch tall spikes with tiny white bell-shaped flowers appear in the spring.
This variety can be grown throughout Zones 4 to 9. 'Autumn Cascade' performs well in a wide range of growing conditions ranging from full sun to full shade. The best leaf coloration is achieved when they are grown under partial shade. Areas with some shade are recommended for hotter climates. With higher light intensities, some leaf scorch may be observed; this can be reduced somewhat by maintaining consistent moisture levels.
'Autumn Cascade' is very versatile and can be used in perennial borders, patio pots and mixed containers. With its trailing habit, 'Autumn Cascade' can also be used by itself or as a component in hanging baskets or used as a groundcover or in mass plantings.
Heucherella 'Autumn Cascade' can be propagated easily using vegetative cuttings. A plant patent is being sought; therefore, unlicensed propagation of this cultivar without permission of the applicant is currently prohibited. However, unrooted cuttings are available to the industry for propagation (royalties are required).
Stick the cuttings into liner trays containing a pre-moistened, well- drained growing medium or stabilized substrate. The use of rooting compounds is not essential, but can slightly reduce the rooting times and increase the rooting percentages.
Maintain moderate mist frequencies for the first two days of propagation, then provide a low misting regiment until the cuttings have rooted. Over-misting and saturated media will cause the cuttings to lose nutrition, delay rooting and can promote the development of plant pathogens. When possible, it's best to propagate under high humidity levels (90 percent relative humidity) with minimal misting. At seven to 10 days after sticking, it's beneficial to apply water-soluble fertilizers using 75- to 100-ppm nitrogen at each irrigation or at least once per week.
With soil temperatures ranging from 68 to 72o F, misting is only required for the first 13 to 18 days after they are stuck. The liners take approximately five to six weeks from sticking to become fully rooted and ready for transplanting.
'Autumn Cascade' is suitable for production in 1-quart up to 1-gallon containers. They perform best when grown in a moist, well-drained growing mix. When transplanting, the growing medium in the pot should be even with the top of the liner. Avoid planting too deeply or they will establish more slowly and crown rot is more likely to develop.
Heucherella generally require average amounts of irrigation. Keep them uniformly moist until they are established. While they are grown in containers, they are more prone to marginal leaf burn under high light intensities when they are also under water stress. Throughout production, avoid overly wet or dry growing conditions. When irrigation is necessary, I recommend watering thoroughly then allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
They are considered to be light to moderate feeders. Nutrients can be delivered using water soluble or controlled release fertilizers. Growers using water-soluble fertilizers apply 100-ppm nitrogen with every irrigation or use 200 ppm as needed. Controlled- release fertilizers are commonly incorporated into the growing medium prior to planting at a rate equivalent to 0.9 to 1.1 pounds of elemental nitrogen per yard of growing medium or topdressed using the medium rate on the product's label. Avoid placing the fertilizer near the crown of the plant when topdressing. The pH of the media should be maintained between 5.5 and 6.5.
It's not necessary to use height management strategies to control plant height, but with its trailing habit, it may be beneficial to manage the width of the plants. Plant size can be managed by providing adequate space between plants and to some extent withholding irrigation and fertility. When these strategies are not providing enough reduction in plant size, plant growth regulators can be applied. Heucherella are responsive to 5-ppm uniconazole (Concise or Sumagic) applications. One or two applications applied seven days apart should be sufficient.
Insects and Diseases
here are only a few problems with insects or diseases that growers are likely to experience. Occasionally, aphids and spider mites may appear, but usually these pests only cause minimal injury to the plants. Botrytis and crown/root rots (Phytophthora, Pythium and Rhizoctonia) are the primary plant pathogens to infect heucherella. Proper planting depths and good cultural practices will usually keep these diseases from becoming problematic. Insects and pathogens can be detected with routine crop monitoring; control strategies may not be necessary unless the scouting activities indicate actions should be taken.
Temperature and Scheduling
With its colorful lobed leaves and trailing habit, 'Autumn Cascade' is commonly grown and marketed as a foliage perennial. Non-flowering plants can be produced easily and quickly throughout the growing season using fresh, non-vernalized liners. When transplanting from 72- cell liners and growing them with 24 hour temperatures of 65° F, it takes approximately five weeks to finish a 1-quart container and seven weeks to grow a trade 1-gallon pot.
Vernalization is required when flowering plants are desired. I find it best to bulk up and vernalize heucherella in the final container size. This can be done by planting them in the late summer or early fall prior to the spring they are intended to be sold. Provide a cold treatment of nine weeks with temperatures between 30 and 40° F prior to forcing. They are day neutral and can be grown at natural day lengths after they have been vernalized. Flowering occurs seven to nine weeks from the onset of growth when the average temperatures are 65° F.
Heucherella 'Autumn Cascade' is available as unrooted cuttings, which are available to "Root and Sell" licensees and Terra Nova's broker network. Rooted liners are available from Terra Nova Nurseries and a number of its licensed propagators. Check with Terra Nova Nurseries or your broker to purchase either unrooted cuttings or liners of 'Autumn Cascade'.

Macau, a small island near southeast China, seems an unlikely place to find a band like Turtle Giant. Their sound is a loose definition of indie rock, energetic and full of reverb with an audible tenacity that does indeed, sound quite giant. The three-man band consists of brothers Frederico Ritchie and Beto Ritchie and António Conceição, all of whom are originally from Sao Paulo, Brazil where they were influenced early on by a rich culture of music festivals. They've migrated to Asia in recent years, and recently opened for Unknown Mortal Orchestra in Hong Kong last week.
Since the band's inception in 2009, the group's gregarious sound has sent them around the world where they're thoroughly beloved by public FM station KEXP and have wirthed in typical rock fashion for audiences at last year's SXSW. Though their music tethers itself to traditional rock , they make impressive explorations into bossa-nova twanged territory with tracks like "Sunlight" and switch effortlessly to the anthemic, as seen on the lilting "Orange Grape". Seeing as how this day and age has sent us right to the peak of forgettable music acts, an outfit that can create wholly original (and highly likable) work playing real musical instruments should be celebrated.
As they've already secured a strong following in Asia and a foothold in the local rock scene, it's only a matter of time before these guys work their way up the major festival bills in North America. Check out their sound and support their efforts below.

AP Limited Editions combines Japanese and Russian art techniques to create its newest series of artistic fountain pens. The Puppet takes its style from the Japanese Ukiyo-e paintings from the Edo period (1690-1850), which depict imagery from folklore and mythology. To execute the design theme, each brilliantly colored pen is rendered in the Russian miniaturist tradition of the Palekh School, a leading center of Russian icon and mural painting that emerged in the 19th century. Love is the central theme, with a hand-painted image of a graceful young woman holding a puppet of her lover emblazoned on the cap and barrel. Only nine pieces will be created, each priced at $14,000. The eyedropper-filled pen, which comes in an inlaid-wood presentation case, features an 18-karat gold nib—and no clip, so as not to interrupt the perfection of the painting.

Jared Leto says 'fuck Warner Bros' over 'Suicide Squad' contract
Jared Leto is reportedly unhappy with his contract for Suicide Squad and how the film turned out.
Leto spoke to fans at Camp Mars (held in Miami), an event for fans of his band 30 Seconds To Mars.
Digital Spy reported that a Leto fansite said Leno was asked about his contract with Warner Brothers, which is rumoured to contain a clause preventing him from undertaking any dangerous activities like rock climbing and wearing garish clothing to film premieres.
"Fuck 'em," Leto is said to have responded, provoking laughter from the crowd.
Apparently Leto has yet to watch Suicide Squad and says he felt "tricked" into working on a film that had been sold to him as something that was different.
It was also suggested on the fansite that he was "overwhelmed by all the hate regarding the look and choices" of The Joker.
