Welcome back to Living Purposefully, friends!
How is everyone's week going? I always find that I feel 1 of 2 ways when going back to work after a weekend (and especially after a holiday weekend): either refreshed and ready to get back to my schedule or wishing for more time to relax and take a breather. Luckily, I've been feeling pretty optimistic this week and happy to be back with my kiddos and on top of my gym routine. And it doesn't hurt that it's Thursday and almost the weekend 😉 As always, feel free to let me know in the comments how your week has been!
If you have followed me for longer than 2 seconds, you've probably noticed me post or talk about something weightlifting-related. It's no longer a habit and has become pretty second-nature to me, which I am so grateful for. My love goes out to all those people just beginning to set healthy habits because it can be seriously hard sometimes to get in the habit of things!
Weightlifting has my heart and is something I see myself doing for as long as my body allows me to. It has the ability to completely transform a person, not only physically, but mentally as well. Today I want to share my personal fitness account and how it's changed from when I was 16 and just beginning to work out on my own until now, at the ripe 'ol age of 23 😉
I began exercising on my own after one volleyball season in high school had ended, admittedly because I was afraid of gaining weight (16 year old melodrama, clearly), and I just started slowly with cardio on the treadmill. I worked my way up from running 10 minutes straight to 20 minutes up to 30 minutes straight. After reaching the point to where I could run for 30 minutes (or around 3 miles) straight, I began to feel a bit restless and wanted the challenge of adding muscle finally. Cardio is great for sooo many things, but if it's muscle definition or strength you're looking for, you have to look elsewhere to create the stimulation that growing muscles require.
I veered off from the treadmill and into more circuit-style and HITT (high intensity interval training) workouts and this entertained me for awhile and I definitely enjoyed the addition of anaerobic exercise into my life.
After I began finally adding some muscle with bodyweight exercises, I started seeing more and more about the benefits of weightlifting on social media, magazaines, tv shows, and basically any platform designed to reach people. It was super intimidating to get started and I could talk for hours on why it took me so long to begin, but I talk a bit about that in a previous post.
Today I just want to share some of the greatest benefits that can be reaped through weightlifting and hopefully encourage some of y'all to get started and fall in love with it like I did.
Disclaimer: While I do have my Bachelor's degree in Corporate Fitness, I am not certified in personal training, so please don't feel like you have to take any of my advice to heart.
Benefit #1= Muscle Definition (Duh)
- I know this seems like a common sense thing, but so many people mistake hours and hours of cardio as a way to gain definition.
- Muscles need stimulation to grow, and you can only add so much stimulation through cardio (i.e. treadmills, bikes, bodyweight exercises, etc). Adding extra weight through barbells, dumbbells, and machines is going to create the "damage" and stimulus needed to grow your muscles.
- While I am preaching about the benefit of muscle definition, let me be clear when I say that you w i l l n o t b e c o m e b u l k y f r o m l i f t i ng w e i g h t s. I wish I could drill this into everyone's head because I know it is such a common misconception! I was the same way until I actually did some research through scientific articles and personal experiences and found that this couldn't be more false.
- The average adult male's testosterone's levels have a range of 270-1070 ng/dl and an average adult woman's testosterone's levels will only hit a range of 15-70 ng/dl. This means that without outside influences (aka taking steroids), a woman's body is unable to reach anywhere near the levels of testosterone needed to get "bulky."
- Unless you are consuming more calories than you burn daily (being in a caloric surplus), lifting weights is only going to burn fat and add muscle without adding muscle and fat, inhibiting the "bulky" look most women fear.
Benefit #2= Better Body Composition
- When looking to begin a weight loss regimen, it's important to remember what kind of weight you're looking to lose.
- Adding cardiovascular exercise is going to be beneficial for burning calories, especially if you have more than just a couple of pounds to lose, but cardiovascular exercise also burns quite a bit of muscle if gaining muscle/definition is your goal.
- Weightlifting not only helps reduce the amount of fat you have, but it also adds on the muscle that people are looking for and helps prevent the "skinny fat" look.
- When I was solely doing cardio for exercise, I was thin and didn't look out of shape in clothes, but underneath my clothes I could tell that there wasn't much muscle. That's what spurred my longing for a different form of exercise that would "shape" my body. I feel like this is something a lot of people can relate to!
- If you've ever done a body fat measurement, the best way to reduce this number is obviously going to be to decrease the amount of fat mass you have on you. Instead of doing tons of cardiovascular exercise to try and lose this fat and risking the loss of precious muscle, your best bet is going to be to increase your muscle mass through weight training (and of course a good diet, which I'll cover in another post!)
Benefit #3= Greater Daily Caloric Burn
- If you've ever taken an exercise science-y class, you've probably heard of your BMR, or basal metabolic rate. This is basically just how many calories your body burns by existing. So metabolic processes, respiration, temperature regulation, and other vital functions all burn calories without you even expending any effort. Here's where the cool part is: muscle burns more calories than fat does, just by simply being there. So when you increase the amount of muscle you put on through weightlifting, you are really burning more calories throughout the day, just by being alive!
- There are a few components to total daily energy expenditure (or TDEE): basal metabolic rate, the thermic effect of food, and physical activity. Your basal metabolic rate makes up for the largest effect on TDEE (about 70%) and so your best bet at burning the most amount of calories without spending hours in the gym every day is going to be adding more muscle mass through weightlifting.
- When I was only doing cardio for my exercise and was "skinny fat," I was only consuming around 1200 calories and still feeling like I needed to diet more. Around 6 months after I began weightlifting in 2013, I began to notice that I could eat around 200-300 more calories each day without feeling bloated or like I was gaining weight. Now I eat around 2000 calories to maintain my weight and around 1800 calories for when I am cutting weight. This is an increase in 800 calories simply becauase my body needs more fuel (specifically more carbs and protein) to lift weights and build the muscle I want to build.
Benefit #4= Stress Reliever
- If you're anything like me, sometimes the only thing you want to do after a rough day is grab a bottle of wine and go to town. While I definitely do this every once in awhile after a rough day, my favorite way to de-stress nowadays is to hit the gym.
- We've all seen the iconic Legally Blonde scene when Elle Woods says "Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people don't kill their husbands." I'm sure you all can personally attest to this statement! Whether it be cardio, weightlifting, or simply walking, endorphins are going to be released.
- Endorphins aren't the only feel-good chemical released during exercise; dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine are all released as well during any sort of physical activity.
- While I love and encourage any kind of exercise for endorphins and mood-enhancing, I personally find that lifting weights leaves me more relaxed and positive than any other kind of exercise. Nothing feels more stress-relieving than lifting heavier than you did the last time or doing more reps than before and feeling the oh-so-good buuuurn in your muscles.
- Another thing I love about weightlifting is that it leaves me more energized than before. I still do cardio and enjoy reaping hearth-health benefits, but cardio always leaves me sleepier than I was before. This is especially annoying if I'm working out in the morning because I don't know about you guys, but dragging my feet at my job surrounded by kids is not fun. When I lift in the mornings before work, I feel like I have the extra spring in my step that makes my days much better!
- The next time you're feeling extra stressed out about something, head to the gym and lift some heavy weights and I bet you will feel 100x better than you did before.
Benefit #5= Anti-Aging Benefits
- While I am only 23 and clearly don't have many, if any, signs of aging yet, I know that prevention is the best medicine. There are numerous benefits on your body from weightlifting and science is only proving more and more each day!
- Women lose bone mass each year after they reach a certain age and while there is no way to completely deter all bone mass losses, weightlifting is a certain way to continually strengthen bone mass.
- Weightlifting is actually proven to increase bone density and there's no better way to prevent weak bones and decrease chances for injury than strengthening our bones through the impact of weightlifting.
- A common misconception is that weightlifting can damage our joints as we age. This is actually completely false and the opposite is, in fact, true.
- Strengthening our ligaments, joints, and the surrounding muscles helps decrease our chances for injuries during exercise and just activities of daily living.
- The only way that weightlifting injures our joints is through incorrect form or too heavy of weight.
- I honestly can say that my body has never felt like it moves better than when I started weightlifting. Of course, soreness is a side effect of weightlifting, but after the soreness subsides and you begin to gain more muscle, I think you'll too begin to notice that your body moves a bit more fluidly and feels less achy.
- Any girl knows that the telltale sign of age is going to be wrinkly, paper-y skin. Exercise has been proven to be beneficial to skin in the long haul for a plethora of reasons.
- When we exercise, our blood flow is increased and this helps our skin get the oxygen it craves. Oxygen is so vital to our skin cells and helps keep our skin fresher, younger, and bouncier than if we were to go without exercise.
- This increased blood flow also removes waste products from our skin cells.
- Studies have been done on women who exercise frequently compared to women who don't and have found that those who do exercise frequently have thicker dermis layers in the skin. Thicker dermis layers=plumper, more youthful skin!
- There are numerous examples of women (and men) bodybuilders over the age of 60 who look half their age that you could google for hours. While not everyone is going to be (or wants to be) a bodybuilder, everyone can garner the anti-aging benefits through lifting just a couple (2-4x) per week.
Alllllright. So obviously I could talk about this for hours and while it clearly pains me to be concise (hello, 2000 words), I think those benefits mentioned are probably my top reasons why I love to weightlift! I seriously think that once you make weightlifting a habit, it'll eventually become a hobby and you'll begin to see yourself transform into a way happier, healthier person.
If you ever have any questions about getting started or just questions in general about weightlifting, feel free to text me, message me, or leave a comment and I would love to chat with you! Everyone deserves to feel at their most confident at every age and I can personally attest to the great changes my body has felt since delving into weightlifting.
I also want to add that any exercise is going to incredibly beneficial for you in the long haul and I always encourage any sort of movement, even just walking! Weightlifting just happens to be the exercise that keeps me wanting to go back for more.
xoxo Jordan
In the comments, let me know what your favorite kind of exercise is and why! I would love to hear from you 🙂

Peerless Parents
Monday, 30 July 2018
After years of hearing people's woes about their parents, I concluded five main points that everyone - young and old - would love (or have loved) to see in their parents. Try these and see if you agree:
1. I want my parents to truly care about me.
2. I want my parents to believe in me. That means never to cut me down or belittle me.
3. I want my parents to recognize and appreciate my individuality. That means acknowledging that I have my own strengths and weaknesses and never judging me by comparing me to anyone else.
4. I want my parents to be genuinely interested in how I feel.
5. I want my parents to give me a listening ear.
Isn't it only fair and ethical that we give our children the type of parents that we would have wanted for ourselves? If you really care about your children, you'll want to read 5 Minutes to Super Parenting, my feature article in this week's new issue of Breslev Israel web magazine.
Also featured this week:
Rabbi Shalom Arush - The Tree of Life, Now!
Dr. Zev Ballen - Popularity in a Flash
Racheli Reckles - Unbearable
Alizah Teitelbaum - The Bright Side of Darkness
Yehudit Channen - Temptation Bait
Elisheva Burda - Anya - this is such a moving story about a distant cousin of ours from Odessa, and a slap in the face to Holocaust deniers - don't miss it...

Morrissey Commission
This was a strange one...
A piece for Nick Roche's sister Laura: 'Shirtless Morrissey'.
I don't remember which episode of Buffy he appeared in, but I bet it was emotionally draining.
Seriously though, actually had great fun with this, love drawing that quiff as if it has a mind of its own. Threw on The Smiths for the day and it turned out to be a larf.

Somehow the words 'The Smiths' and 'a larf' should never go together in one sentence. Nice work there though Mooney, good likeness too. I still hate him with every fibre of my being.

A softy through and through, this kid melts my heart every time he says "Mrs. Yachel."
I have know his family since Brayden's little beginnings, and my heart expands for him more and more each time I see his sweet face.
And then we were able to spend a few minutes with his cousin, Kaitlyn. She has a heart like an ocean, and a conversation that would put most 20 year-olds to shame.
And although there is such refreshment in working with children, our passion is photographing women (so we always make a point to pull mom to the side. What a beauty!
And here are some more of their images. I hope you all have a fantastic week!

Carl Edwards, who is expected to announce Wednesday that he won't race in 2017, won 28 races over a 13-season NASCAR Cup career. But, as much as anything else, Edwards will be known for the class and decency he showed after coming agonizingly close to winning two championships.
Edwards, 37, will likely be replaced in the No. 19 Toyota by Daniel Suarez, who won last season's Xfinity Series championship.
Two news conferences – presumably for Edwards and Suarez – are scheduled for Wednesday at Joe Gibbs Racing's Huntersville headquarters. News of Edwards stepping away was first reported Tuesday by Fox Sports.

Edwards was one of four drivers who made the final four of the Chase in 2016. He also led the points standings heading into the 2011 season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, but lost a memorable race and points battle against Tony Stewart.
Edwards is the third NASCAR star to retire over the last two seasons. Jeff Gordon retired after the 2015 season (although he drove several races as a substitute driver for Dale Earnhardt Jr. last season). Tony Stewart retired after the 2016 season.
Edwards will be remembered for celebrating his victories by doing a back flip off his car. Ironically, he elected not to do the flip after winning what could be the final race of his career in November at Texas Motor Speedway because of wet conditions. Edwards' final back flip came after he won at Richmond last April.
Texas Motor Speedway president Eddie Gossage compared Edwards' decision to the retirement of former Detroit Lions running back Barry Sanders.
Carl Edwards finished second in the Cup standings twice and was fourth last season.
"Shocking and with loads of ability and time left in a very successful career," Gossage said in a statement. "Everyone, rightfully, expected Carl to win both races and championships. I talked to Carl about a month ago and he didn't give any indication he was considering this. It is a shock that just doesn't seem real."
Although Edwards didn't win a championship, he finished second twice (in 2008 and 2011) and fourth in 2016.
He came up short in 2011 to Stewart in an epic season-finale at Homestead. In what was then another version of the Chase, Stewart beat Edwards, who entered the race with a three-point lead and started on the pole, for the title. Stewart battled from behind for much of the race, and would win for the fifth time in 10 Chase races. Those five victories gave Stewart the championship through a tiebreaker after they finished tied atop the point standings.
28 Career NASCAR cup victories by Carl Edwards
"That's as hard as I can drive," Edwards said after the race, in which he led a race-high 117 laps. "Give Tony and those guys the credit. That's all I got at the end."
Edwards clinched a spot in last season's final four by winning at Texas. Edwards was leading at Homestead with 10 laps left when he inexplicably wrecked Joey Logano during a restart, knocking them both out of contention (although Logano rallied to finish fourth).
Edwards took responsibility for the accident and even went to Logano's pit stall to shake hands with crew chief Todd Gordon.
"I just wanted to make sure he knew that was just hard racing, in my opinion, and that's hard racing and I wished them luck," said Edwards, who added that he didn't apologize to Gordon.
After the final race – after Edwards had once again come so close to winning the championship – he said:
"I am telling you, this team is going to be on fire next year. You watch out. This is going to be awesome."

Konnichiwa minna,
Hikari & Hikaru desu!
Travelling to Japan again has always been our dream and thanks to AirAsia, now everyone can fly!
After going through booking for the cheapest air fare, annoying visa application (seriously annoying especially when you're applying in Melbourne for Malaysia passport), saving spending money (cook more at home XD).
Finally we're here, Tokyo Haneda International Airport!
Just when we reached the aiport, we have already acted like jakun and start taking picture.
Bought our monorail ticket and start heading to the place we stayed, called Yoyogi.
It's already midnight when we reached there so there's nothing interesting to talk about except that the midnight train does not look like midnight train at all!! It actually has quite lots of people in the train, almost equivalent to Melbourne Metro during peak hour!!
Oh and the host of the house fall asleep while waiting for our arrival (´> ω <`). She was worried sick that we might get lost since we sort of arrived later than the expected time.
That's it for today. Looking forward to post more!! \(゜∇゜)/
Note: Notice that the font sizes of the blog link keep enlarging? I got lazy wanna re-edit the smaller font into a bigger one XD

EAST STROUDSBURG — As the East Stroudsburg Area School District prepares to enter the second week of its 2018-19 school year, the threat of an imminent teachers' strike looms overhead. Labor Day marks the first of the final seven days for union and school board negotiators to reach a compromise before the Sept. 10 strike date.
How it works
Discussions between the school board and East Stroudsburg Education Association, the union that represents the district's professional staff, have now spanned the course of more than two years. Both parties first came to the negotiating table in January 2016 in anticipation of the August 2016 expiration of the teacher's most recent contract.
Generally, negotiations between the school district and its contracting unions occur in private meetings behind closed doors. Discussions regarding personnel matters are not subject to public access under the state's Sunshine Act; however, any official actions derived from those conversations must be enacted by the school board during an advertised public meeting.
Where things stand
As of Friday, the teacher's union had rejected the school district's latest offer, which was set to expire on Aug. 22, according to a statement on the district website. A copy of that proposal was made available with the statement.
The East Stroudsburg Area School District has not had a teachers' strike in recent history. Teachers of the neighboring Stroudsburg Area School District initiated a 2017 strike at a similar stage of negotiations, but that dispute was resolved in June with the signing of a new contract.
Currently, East Stroudsburg's teachers are poised to hit the picket lines as the Sept. 10 strike date approaches.
What is at stake
Members of East Stroudsburg's professional staff have gone two years without a raise since Aug. 31, 2016, when their most recent contract expired. The district's teachers currently earn the lowest average salaries of any of the six school districts in Pike and Monroe counties.
Those same East Stroudsburg staffers have also been frozen on the steps of their salary scale since the 2014-15 school year as part of a previously negotiated compromise. Union members at that time accepted a one-time salary increase of $1,500 across the board to avoid furloughs during a district financial crisis.
On the school district's side of the bargaining table rests the uncertain costs of wages and benefits for the term of the next agreement. Those expenses must be weighed against several factors including a growing list of repair projects, which are already expected to exceed the district's capital improvement plan for the next five years.
With a larger payroll would also follow a larger federal tax burden and the mandatory pension contributions go along with it. Former school district CFO Jeff Bader projected in June that the union's then-proposal, including the accompanying increases in Federal Insurance Contributions Act taxes, would add $15.4 million to the district's budget over three years.
The union's representative at that time, Matt Gruenloh, disputed those calculations, contending that the teachers' proposal fell within the same $8.3 million margin of increase as the district's offer. He also objected to arguing the employer's state or federal obligations across the negotiations table because those amounts are beyond the union's authority to determine.
The school board is not without some financial flexibility, though. The district's general fund balances have ranked amound the largest in the state during recent years.
East Stroudsburg's 2016-17 general fund balance of $57.8 million was the third-largest of any public school district in the Pennsylvania for that year, according to state Department of Education records. Approximately $24.7 million of that was unassigned, an amount equal to about 16.6 percent of the district's $148.6 million 2016-17 budget.
Much of that money has been earmarked for future capital projects or anticipated increases in pension and healthcare costs; however, state laws barres the board from raising property taxes while the district's unassigned balance remains above eight percent of its general budget.
On June 18, the school board approved a 2018-19 budget of $155.8 million. The district will report this fiscal year's general fund balance to the state in October.
To whom it may concern
Students can expect an interruption of instruction time Sept. 10 if their teacher heads to the picket line instead of the classroom. Parents and guardians may need a contingency plan if students are kept home from school.
Property owners in the East Stroudsburg Area School District are taxed at the highest rate of any school district in Pike or Monroe County. Those local taxpayers — who fund about 67 percent of the school district's budget — will be held accountable for the costs of whatever contract teachers and the district ultimately agree upon.
East Stroudsburg's professional staff members have an obvious stake in what their next contract will entitle them to for duration of its term. They may have to rely on other sources of income if potential increases in healthcare costs aren't balanced against their future pay raises.
Teachers and staff aren't the only ones whose health and financial futures are in question — spouses of employees are at risk of losing coverage through the school district's healthcare plan also. The school board initially aimed to eliminate spousal eligibility entirely by term's end, but more recent district proposals would impose a $100 to $150 monthly surcharge instead for spouses who have access to another employer's plan.

Biblical Dispensationalism
why it matters
A dispensation refers to the household administration of the promises or covenants of God. We understand what God is doing at any point in time by understanding His covenants.
What makes Dispensationalism unique is that it is the only system of interpretation on the planet which relies on simple, normative literal interpretation. Translated: Is the only system which takes the promises of God at face value and does not seek to spiritualize them into a pre-conceived mold.
When we fail to interpret God's Word literally we set in motion a whole range of possibilities for doctrinal error. In particular, we do a great disservice to our Lord Jesus Christ, His plan and program for us, and His plan and program for Israel.

Notes: Hargreaves argues that the practice and research of teacher development should address the technical competence of teaching, the place of moral purpose in teaching, political awareness, acuity and adeptness among teachers, and teachers' emotional attachments to and engagement with their work. None of these dimensions alone capture all that is important or all there is to know about teacher development. What really matters is the interactions among and integration between them.
Dimensions of teacher development
Good teaching, for most people, is a matter of teachers mastering the skills of teaching and the knowledge of what to teach and how to teach it. Teacher development, in this view, is about knowledge and skill development. This kind of teacher development is well known and widely practised. It can be neatly packaged in courses, materials, workshops and training programs.
Good teaching, however, also involves issues of moral purpose, emotional investment and political awareness, adeptness and acuity. What teacher development might mean in these terms is much less clear; not nearly so easy to package and plan. It touches on the teacher as a person, has relevance for teachers' long term orientations to their work, and impacts on the settings in which teachers teach. These moral, political and emotional aspects of teacher development are less well understood and less widely practised.
1. Technical Skill
It is obvious and uncontentious that good teaching requires competence in technical skills - be these ones of classroom management, mixed-ability teaching, cooperative learning, direct instruction, or whatever. Less obviously, but just as importantly, the possibilities for good teaching also increase when teachers command a wide repertoire of skills and strategies, and can judge how to select them for and adjust them to the child, the content and the moment (Darling-Hammond & Berry, 1988). How teachers (and indeed other professionals) make such judgements and make them well is more elusive (Schon, 1983) and not addressed at all effectively in most forms of teacher development.
2. Moral Purpose
Attending to the moral dimensions of teaching usually involves distinguishing between better and worse courses of action, rather than right and wrong ones. There are no clear rules of thumb, no useful universal principles for deciding between these options. Unlike university philosophers of education, classroom teachers do not have the ethereal privilege of proclaiming their virtue from the high ground.
Teacher development can help teachers articulate and rehearse resolving these moral dilemmas in their work. By reflecting on their own practice, observing and analyzing other teachers' practice or studying case examples of practice, teachers can clarify the dilemmas they face and develop principled, practical and increasingly skillful and thoughtful ways of dealing with them (Groundwater-Smith, 1993). This approach to teacher development elevates the principles of thoughtful, practical judgement above personal prejudice, misleading moral absolutes, or the false certainties of science as a guide to action and improvement (Schön, 1983; Louden, 1991).
3. Political Awareness, Adeptness and Acuity
First, being a more political and critically reflective teacher means learning about the micropolitical configurations of one's school.
Second, being a more politically aware and developed teacher means empowering and assisting others to reach higher levels of competence and commitment.
Third, being more political means acknowledging and embracing, not avoiding human conflict.
Fourth, for teacher developers themselves, being more political means recognizing that many typical training efforts in knowledge and skill development falsely treat the techniques in which teachers are being trained as universal, generic, neutral and equally applicable to all students irrespective of race, gender and other distinctions.
Fifthly, to return to Liston & Zeichner's (1991) agenda, it is also important to be reflective about the long term political and social consequences of one's classroom work.
4. Emotional Involvement
- most teacher development initiatives, even the most innovative ones, neglect the emotions of teaching
- Much of the writing on and practice of teacher development has tended to emphasize its rational, intellectual, cognitive, deliberative and strategic qualities.
- In one sense, passion, desire and other intense emotions have always been central to teaching.
- Emotions an pivotal to the quality of teaching. Teacher developers ignore them at their peril.
- Emotional awareness and emotional growth in teaching can be fostered and sustained through specific techniques such as personal reflective journals, shared discussions of personal and professional life histories, or establishment of teacher support groups, for example. More generally, the development of collaborative school cultures has been shown to create environments in which successes can be shared, vulnerabilities aired, differences acknowledged and trust and tolerance consolidated (Nias et al,1989; Nias et al, 1992; Fullan and Hargreaves, 1991).

We're still busting some of the most common misconceptions about copy editors. Last time, we clarified that a superior vocabulary is not as important as knowing how to deal with words, phrases and idioms that are unfamiliar. Before that, we also mentioned that a journalism or English degree is not a strict requirement for copy editor and that there are opportunities for copy editors outside the newsroom or publishing firms. Now, we try to clarify the copy editor's scope by busting another myth:
4. Copy editors only correct spelling and grammar errors.
There's a misconception about editing in general that it's only about "fixing spelling and punctuation." But nowadays, spelling and grammar checkers available with any word processing software can do that. So, is that really the only thing editors do?
"Sometimes that's all it is, but it's often more and sometimes much more."
Carolyn Bishop, a voting member of the Editor's Association of Canada, says the scope of editing depends on a variety of factors, including intended readership, type of content, and the medium.
Copy editing is not just about "dotting Is and crossing Ts," says the Society for Editors and Proofreaders. Fixing spelling, punctuation and typographical errors can be done by proofreaders, and although that is also part of copyediting, copy editors cover that and much more.
Copyediting vs. Proofreading
In a professional editorial setup, the difference between copyediting and proofreading is based on what medium they work on, where they are in the whole publishing process and how much they can do to copy.
Copy editing usually occurs before the copy is typeset, so copy editors work on a version of the manuscript that can still be changed substantially, especially if there are errors of fact, readability issues and possible legal issues with the content. Proofreading happens after copy is typeset. Proofreaders work on a version of the manuscript that is close to how the final product will be and look mainly for inconsistencies and necessary changes from copyediting that were not implemented in addition to the correcting glaring spelling, grammar and punctuation errors that made it through typesetting.
Mark Nichol summarizes the distinction as copyediting being "a more qualitative skill" and proofreading being "more quantitative."
Is one more important than the other? Not necessarily. Mark Nichol points out that usually, proofreading pays less and is a pathway to a copyediting career, and although cost-cutting measures strip either stage, both processes are important to ensure the quality of published content. Both are also equally challenging and would each require restraint. In my experience, proofreading can be very technical, while copyediting would call for some creativity.
The Copy Editor's Scope
So what do copy editors do aside from addressing spelling, grammar and punctuation issues? The Society for Editor and Proofreaders lists the following as within the scope of copy editing:
- Content and structure
- Consistency
- Style
- Accuracy
- Legal issues
- Technical matters
- Suitability of text for intended audience
- Extent
- Illustrations and tables
Amy Einsohn's The Copyeditor's Handbook also includes the following as principal tasks of the copy editor:
- Mechanical editing
- Correlating parts
- Language editing
- Content editing
- Permissions
- Typecoding
The scope and tasks assigned to a copy editor vary from publication to publication. In publications with a lean staff, copy editors with design skills may be tasked to design and layout pages in addition to fact-checking, copy reading and headline writing.
Perhaps dynamics in the industry, the economic situation or just plain ignorance of how valuable copyediting is has brought in these changes. But though the specific tasks and scope vary, generally, sources agree that the essence of the role is still to be the publication's last line of defense. The annual conferences held by the American Copy Editors Society (ACES) include sessions that would allow copy editors to use their skills in other fields, especially in this age of social media.
What other tasks have been included in your copy editing scope? Are there any challenges to having these tasks in your work scope?
Mark Hilaria is the deputy managing editor of SENCOR's Editorial unit and serves in the editorial board of Project Chiron. This post is part of the "'Good Writers Don't Need Copy Editors' and Other Myths" series, edited by Kim Palanca and Adrian Claudio.

• Who did better this time than the first time? (Congratulate them on their hard work and progress.)
After our marathon trip through the Bible, we want to do one last lesson focusing on how to study the Bible. Once you know the basics of the Scriptures, it's important to keep going, keep learning, and keep discovering things about Jesus you didn't know before.
• What are some ways we can study the Bible? (Let the students share different ideas to start them thinking.)
DIGGING IN (30 minutes)
Today, we are going to cover three major actions to inlcude when studying the Bible. Then, we're going to practice them together. The three actions are Pray, Read, and Ask.
Action 1: Pray
Discussion Questions:
1. Why do you think it's important that we pray before we read the Bible? (Studying the Bible is more like us and God on either end of a walkie-talkie than it is God on a mega phone. Before we even turn a single page of the Scriptures, we should pray to God.)
2. For what sorts of things should we pray? (For wisdom to see what He wants us to see, thank Him that we have His words in the first place, etc.)
Make prayer a part of your habit when it comes to Bible reading. There might be times when you really need guidance. Pray that God will provide it through His Word. You might be really busy, and you just need refreshment and quiet time. In this case, pray that you find it. Alternatively, just thank God that you have His Word available to read in the first place. All of this is appropriate.
Action 2: Read
Discussion Questions:
1. What do you think is the best way to read the Bible? (Allow for answers.)
2. Have any of you read the entire Bible yet? (Have a show of hands.)
When we read the Bible, we need to read it for all it's worth. Some people think that reading a verse or two is enough, or that just opening the Bible and starting to read is a good way to study. It may be better than nothing, but it's not the best way to study. Let's test that theory.
Open your Bibles to Matthew 18:20. Whoever gets there first read the verse.
3. What does that verse mean? (Allow for answers.)
4. How do you know it means that? (Again, allow for answers.)
Most people quote that text as meaning that if Christians are together, then God is there with them. While that's true, that's not what this verse is talking about.
Instead, this text is talking about confronting people who sin. The essence of what Jesus is saying is, if a few of you gather to confront someone, and you are doing it in the way I've told you, you are doing it with my authority too. I'm there with you.
So you see, taking one verse and picking it out of the ones around it can distort the meaning of the text. This is called reading a verse out of context. An easier way of putting that is by saying we need to be able to understand where the author is coming from to get the full meaning of each verse.
Optional Activity (5 minutes)
What Does it Make? (Object Talk)
When you read scripture you need to read it with the big picture in mind. It's not always possible to pick out just one chapter or just one verse and think you can understand what it means any more than you can tell what a puzzle is supposed to be by only looking at one piece.
I encourage you to read what you read a few times. Sometimes when we read something we don't quite understand it the first time. There are some complicated things in Scripture that deserve a closer look. I encourage you to read things at least two to three times. If you are going to read a chapter, read it twice before moving on. Especially pay attention to things that don't quite make sense, and then go back and read those again.
Action 3: Ask
When reading the Bible, you need to ask some questions of yourself. Here are two you should always ask as you're reading:
• What does this passage mean? Always keep in mind the context of the passage.
• What does this passage mean to me? (Life Application)
Chances are, there are going to be things you don't understand. The Bible is filled with difficult and baffling questions.
Examples of Bible-baffling Questions:
• Who did Cain marry?
When you discover things about the Bible that you don't understand, it's important that you seek the answers.
Discussion Questions
1. How can you go about getting answers to baffling questions or help with undertanding the meaning of difficult passages? (Ask a youth pastor or another person you can trust to help you understand, discuss with small groups, read other books or study notes.)
Don't be afraid to ask questions. Above all, ask God to give you the wisdom to understand His Word.
MAKING IT REAL (10 minutes)
Everyone turn to the book of James. Remember where that is? We're going to try this study method together. First, let's pray and ask God to help us hear His voice. (Have someone pray for your group.)
Alright, let's read together James 2:1-4. (Pick someone to read.)
• What should we do now? (Hopefully they'll say, "read it again." Go ahead and do so.)
We've prayed, we've read, now let's ask some questions.
• What doesn't make sense to you? Anything you don't understand? (Talk through any issues they might have.)
• What would this passage have meant to its original reader, the reader to whom James wrote?
• How does this passage apply to your life?
Good job. You've just studied the Bible! Was that easy or hard?
(If you have time, repeat this exercise with some other passages. Try Matthew 5:1-12, Genesis 3, or any other passage.)
The Bible is not just words, but God's words at your fingertips. The basic things that we've talked about the past few weeks will enable you to hear from the God of the universe, the very One who created us and died for our sins. Not to study it more deeply means not knowing who that God is. I want us all to commit to studying the Bible regularly. Hopefully, you've enjoyed our trip through the Bible.

A little about this site and the Guru…
Whats is OrganicBabyFoodGuru.com all about?
OrganicBabyFoodGuru.com is a blog developed to provide information on feeding children wholesome and organic foods. The idea for the blog has been in the works for over a year now and it has now become reality. After several weeks of long hours and going over designs with the web designer it has become a reality. This blog provides people like you with knowledge in order for you to make better choices.
Not all organic baby food is alike.
There are many companies as well as blogs out there peddling products that are far from healthy. As a concerned parents, we have to double and triple check the food that we allow our children to eat at all stages of their growth. Some companies as well as "alleged" health food stores are selling items that are mass produced and there ingredients are not certified as organic. We will get into all of the odds and ends and in-depth details on certification as well as other aspects of organic foods on this website.
What will I find on this site?
You will find a plethora of information concerning healthy eating – for babies as well as children of all ages. From time to time I will post free recipes that are simply and easy to prepare. You will also find information concerning organic baby products and news and spacial offers from retailers. Note that I do provide links to certain products as well as websites that may be of interest to you and your family.

Who taught your first class? Catherine! She and Stephanie Dougherty convinced me to try Bar Method. I remember being nervous all day long thinking, "What have I gotten myself into?!"
What made you fall in love with Bar? It was the one hour a day that I had to myself. No one was crying. No one was asking me for juice. I wasn't wiping noses or rear ends!
How many times per week do you take class? 4-5 classes per week.
What part of your past prepared you to become a Bar teacher? Being a competitive figure skater and gymnast, I've always been fairly disciplined. I set goals and I'm determined to achieve them. I'm a hard worker and I love a challenge.
How did your audition to teach/teacher training go? I had no clue how to put the headset on. We'll leave it at that!
What was the biggest message or revelation that you learned during that process? There were two. 1) Get comfortable with being uncomfortable. 2) I'm my own worst critic.
Where can we find you when you're not at Bar? At the 'other' kind of bar! Just kidding. Either at a hockey rink, field, dance studio or barn with my kids.
What's your favorite exercise during class? I'm a big fan of push-ups and reverse push-ups.
What's your favorite exercise to teach? Thigh work. I can sympathize with the clients while motivating them.
What's the exercise you have the hardest time with? Knee Dancing.
Do you modify any exercises? Why? If my wrists are sore, I'll use weights to do reverse push-ups. If my hips are bothering me, I'll use a mini mat instead of a ball for thigh work. I always sit on a riser for pretzel because of my hips. I've learned to listen to my body. I'm not 20 anymore (as much as I'd like to think that I am).
What is your current goal at Bar? As a student, to drop lower for the final 20 (not just final 10) in thigh. As a teacher, give clients not just a great workout, but an hour of fun! This is their hour to escape the reality of the day!
What has been your greatest Bar Method accomplishment? While I'm thrilled to be certified and Bar Move certified, it was the act of going to the initial training and showing Melissa and Gina that I had what it takes to get through the entire process!
How has Bar Method changed you? Bar Method has given me a piece of 'me' back – a piece of my identity that maybe disappeared for a while being a stay-at-home mom. It has also given me some of the closest friends I've had in my post college/adult life. I couldn't be more grateful!

|Kenda's Romantic Red
I'm fairly confident that none of my close friends read this blog... yet. :) At least I hope they don't because I'm going to totally ruin a surprise in mere seconds! I can't help it. I want to share. :)
I've been getting into jewelry making lately! Yay! So fun! Erik's mom, Kim, and I did a whole bunch of bead shopping on Thanksgiving, so I have a TON of pretty beads to play with.
This coming Sunday, we're planning the First Annual Holiday Boat Cruise with our friends. There are 10 of us that like to get together regularly. For Christmas, we're doing a boat cruise on Lake Union. Super psyched!
It's going to be way fun. We're having an Ugly Sweater Contest, a White Elephant Exchange, Food, Booze, Party Lights... what's not to like?
Anyway, I wanted to make gifts for my best girls. These are the friends who have always been super-involved. Helped out with our wedding, and are basically just great to spend time with. So I wanted to make them something.
I just started playing with beads, so I decided it was best to start small: Bracelets!
I love the way they turned out! Each bracelet is specific to each girl and significant in some way.
|Jen's Lucky Green
Green is for Jen. It's her favorite color. It's lucky. I'm lucky she's my friend. She's fun and crazy. She'll do anything once.
|(Far Right) Allie's Playful Blue
Romantic Red is for Kenda. She and Jason (who is like a brother to us) are currently planning their wedding. Kenda loves reds and romance, so this one is for her!
Playful Blue is for Allie. Allie's a big Disney fan. You can find her and her husband visiting the parks dozens of times a year (and we don't even live in California!!!).
I still need to make one more. I want it to be Sunshine Yellow for Lisa (my little sister-in-law). Lisa's adorable. Happy, shiny and friendly to everyone.
I realized last night that I have ZERO yellow beads. ZERO. How did this happen!? Not sure what I'll end up doing for her... but the goal is Sunshine to represent her sunny disposition.
Now, let's just hope none of my girls are surfing this blog and all will be well. ;)

I have some lab tests I'm supposed to get done. My doctor faxed the lab requests to Labcorp almost a month ago now. I've made three different appointments to go, and somehow, I've missed every one of them. They are testing me for paraneoplastic syndrome, as associated with a slow-growing type of cancer or tumor. I probably don't have it. I'm sure that instead I simply have multiple other rare and unusual conditions, all rolled into one little old me. Even though this diagnosis would make total sense and make a lot of other things come together, certainly, I can't have cancer.
And as long as I don't ever get the test done, I'll never have cancer, right? That's how this works, right? If you don't know what's killing you, you simply don't die. Right?
Well, it's not true. I worked in the medical arena a few years in my past, and I know enough to know how important early intervention and diagnosis is for any condition, but particularly with cancer. So I know I should know better.
And yet.. I cancelled one appointment because I didn't want to get out in the rain. I slept through another one. The other one, I just forgot about.
Yeah… not good, huh?
It's not that I don't want to know. It honestly isn't. It's just… I've been mostly stable recently, and if I get a positive result on any of these tests, it will mean a whole new series of tests to determine what kind of cancer it is and where it is in my body, and that will results in more tests, and more poking and more prodding, and the CTEPH complicates things. What might be something simple for most folks becomes something really difficult for me. Simple procedures that most folks can go into an office for and be out in an hour, I have to go into the hospital at least overnight for because of my blood thinners and clotting problems. I can't be sedated, so things where most folks can be sedated, I can't be. That means I have to be awake during some really painful and scary procedures. It's intense. It's hard.
It's damned hard.
You have no idea how hard it is. I have pictures of myself from the right-heart cath, where my entire shoulder and chest are solid bruises, my neck is red and swollen and looks awful, and I was awake and completely unsedated through that whole thing.
So can you imagine cancer treatment in which they won't use morphine because morphine can suppress breathing in CTEPH patients? Or the tests like MRI on a severely claustrophobic person without any sedation? All the poking and prodding they will add to the already insane amount of poking and prodding.
And just for a time, I almost felt normal…. for a little while, stable and not being prodded.
And I know that if I'm sick-er than I already think I am, I need to do something about it. I suppose I'm only delaying the inevitable. And if it were just a delay, that would be okay. But it's not just a delay. It's a potential worsening of the existing condition–if there is one–and I know that. I know that.
So I need to just suck it up, buttercup. I need to just go in and get it done. And you know, the thing is, if it's nothing, then I've spent all this time worrying about it unnecessarily cialis legal. So there you go. That's what I need to keep telling myself. It's going to be nothing. I'm going to go in and get it done, so I can get the results, know that it's nothing, and relax.
I damned sure hope so.
Now…. I just have to actually get myself up and do it. Anyone know how to make that happen?
Love and stuff,
"Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming" — Dory, Finding Nemo
Sometimes, all you can do, is keep putting one foot in front of the other. Even or especially when that means you're facing the unknown.
And we all face the unknown every day. Some of us think we know what we will face each day, what the day will hold… but really, every day is an unknown for all of us.
So, deep breath and just keep swimming. We overcome. It's what we do. It really will be okay.
My name is Dr. Dana Hansen, Assistant Professor of Nursing at Kent State University. You can learn more about me by visiting my faculty web page at http://www.kent.edu/nursing/facstaff/bio/~dhansen1/
We are contacting you because you are listed as the contact person of the blog. My research team and I are interested in learning about the family caregiver's experience with reading their loved one's illness blog.
A family caregiver is someone who provides emotional, spiritual, or physical care or support to a loved one.
I was inspired to conduct this research during my sister-in-law's journey through breast cancer. After interacting on her blog, I began to wonder what it was like for her husband (family caregiver) to read her blog. The family caregiver of the person who is writing the illness blog can find out more about our study by going to our study website: https://nursing.kent.edu/caretaker. There is a screen for you to share your contact information if you are interested in participating.
After we receive your information, we will contact you to discuss the study further and establish a time to conduct a 1 hour phone or Skype (your choice) interview. During the interview, we will ask questions about your experience as a caregiver interacting with your loved one on an illness blog. A nominal onetime payment of $50.00 will be mailed to you once the interview is complete.
Participation is voluntary. Refusal to take part in the study involves no penalty or loss of benefits to which participants are otherwise entitled. Participants may withdraw from or stop the study at any time without penalty or loss of benefits to which they are otherwise entitled.
If you are not the family caregiver of the person with a serious illness, please forward this information to someone who is.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Dr. Dana Hansen

Anorexia Nervosa Treatment
Anorexia Nervosa poses great health risks and must be controlled
When a person has anorexia nervosa, they suffer from a distorted image of their body. They see themselves as being overweight, when in fact, their condition is just the opposite. They are often grossly underweight. They will employ every effort to restrict their intake of calories, and will constantly convey a fear of becoming fat. What is so disturbing is that they cannot see themselves as how they really look to others.
Anorexia occurs by fasting, dieting (refusing to eat), or exercising excessively. They become extremely thin, and will still refuse to eat from the fear of becoming fat.
Who Is Affected by Anorexia Nervosa?
It can affect anyone of any gender or age group. The group that seems most affected are young females that range from middle to high socioeconomic status. The problems usually start at an early age. The alarming news is that for all causes of death, anorexia is 12 times higher for women aged 15-24. This is more prevalent in western cultures because being thin is thought of as being beautiful. Due to it being so common, it is not uncommon for women to have had a relative diagnosed with anorexia. It can also be brought on by nervous temperaments, such as uncontrollable anxieties.
What Are the Signs?
Signs include hair loss, low body temperatures, extreme loss of weight, low blood pressure, scratched knuckles, and an interruption or loss of menstrual cycles. One of every one hundred women may have anorexia. Another peculiar oddity about anorexic people is that they seem to care a great deal about food. Some even collect cookbooks and recipes. Yet, they simply do not join in the eating festivities.
Resulting complications can include heart problems kidney stones, stunted growth, thyroid problems, and even suicide. If you or someone you know has these symptoms, it is critical to get immediate medical help. Anorexia can lead to serious health problems. It can also lead to serious mental problems. As it stands, those who suffer from anorexia may already have some type of mental problem to begin with that caused such a distorted perception of themselves to begin with.

Amsterdam-Zuid (Amsterdam South) is a borough (stadsdeel) of Amsterdam, Netherlands. The borough was formed in 2010 as a merger of the former boroughs Oud-Zuid and Zuideramstel. The borough has almost 138,000 inhabitants (2013). With 8,500 homes per square kilometer, it is one of the most densely populated boroughs of Amsterdam. It has the highest income per household of all boroughs in Amsterdam.[1]
Amsterdam-Zuid is the borough of Amsterdam situated to the south and southwest of the Singelgracht canal, along the Stadhouderskade city ring road. It is bordered by the Vondelpark in the northwest, the Westlandgracht canal in the west, the Amstel river in the east and the Kalfjeslaan in the south, which also forms the border with the municipality of Amstelveen.
The Singelgracht canal had been Amsterdam's city border since the 17th century, when the Amsterdam canal belt was constructed. The taking down of the wall surrounding the Singelgracht, the outer canal, in the second half of the 19th century allowed for the development of new residential areas. South of the former wall, the first neighborhoods to develop were the Oude Pijp neighborhood, the neighborhood surrounding the Rijksmuseum, and the Willemspark neighborhood. This area is now also known as Oud Zuid ('Old South').
In 1917, the area was further developed southwards on the basis of Plan Zuid, the ambitious urban expansion plan designed by Dutch architect and city planner Hendrik Petrus Berlage. Berlage's plan included wide streets lined with four-story apartment blocks for the middle class. The plan also included public art to be installed in the new residential areas. Between 1920 and 1940, the Plan Zuid neighborhoods of Nieuwe Pijp, Diamantbuurt, Rivierenbuurt, Stadionbuurt and Apollobuurt were constructed, with many buildings designed in Amsterdam School style. This area is also known as Nieuw Zuid ('New South').
Another neighborhood built in the 1920s is the Hoofddorppleinbuurt, west of the Schinkel river. This neighborhood is part of Plan West, another urban expansion plan by Berlage which was designed for the western area of the city on the territory of the former municipality of Sloten.
In the 1950s and 1960s, the Buitenveldert neighborhood and the smaller Prinses Irenebuurt became the last major residential developments in the southern part of the city. In 1961, the Amsterdam RAI Exhibition and Convention Centre opened, which was to become the largest convention centre in the Netherlands. The A10 motorway, which runs through the southern borough, was constructed in 1962. In 1978, the first section of the Weesp–Leiden railway and the Amsterdam Zuid railway station opened along the southern part of the A10 motorway. In the 1990s and 2000s, the area surrounding the railway station became the rapidly developing business district of Zuidas.
Until 2014, the Amsterdam boroughs, called stadsdelen or 'districts', were governed by a directly elected district council (deelraad) as well as a separate district executive board, the members of which were appointed and controlled by the council. Since the 2014 municipal elections, the district councils have been abolished and replaced by smaller, but still directly elected district committees (bestuurscommissies).[2] The district committees are elected every four years, on the same day as the city's central municipal council. Each district committee elects three of its members to form an executive committee (dagelijks bestuur). The district committees' jurisdiction is determined by the central municipal council. Responsibilities delegated to the 2014–2018 district committees include parks and recreation, streets and squares, refuse collection, permits and events, preparation of zoning plans, passports and drivers licenses, and welfare work.[3]
The district committee of Amsterdam-Zuid[4] consists of 15 members. The committee was elected on 19 March 2014. Five national political parties and two local parties are represented in the committee. On 7 April 2014, after three weeks of coalition talks, the committee elected its executive committee. Executive committee chair is Sebastiaan Capel (D66), the other members are Paul Slettenhaar (VVD) and Marijn van Ballegooijen (PvdA).[5]

The borough office (stadsdeelkantoor or 'district office') of Amsterdam-Zuid is located at President Kennedylaan 923, near the Amsterdam RAI Exhibition and Convention Centre.[7]
