Thus have been brought together, with painstaking research
by Col. Lucien Thompson, some details of the military records
of some of the best known volunteers of Durham. Others
have been noticed in other chapters of this history, or incidentally
mentioned in the Genealogical Notes. Earnest effort has been
made to present the names of all Durham soldiers in the preced-
ing alphabetical list. If any name has been omitted uninten-
tionally no one will regret this more than the writer.
The earliest inhabitants of Oyster River Plantation worshiped
at Dover Neck with all the settlers of ancient Dover, whither
they went in boats. Here Richard Pinkham beat his drum to
call the people to church, and here they listened successively
to Revs. William Leverich, George Burdett, Hanserd Knollys,
Thomas Larkham, and Daniel Maud. All this has been told at
length in Dr. Quint's First Parish of Dover.
An agreement was made, 14 July 165 1, that two ministers
should be employed, at a salary of £50 each. Rev. Daniel Maud
to remain at Dover Neck and another to be called to Oyster
River. April 16, 1655, the town voted that all the rents of the
saw-mills and a tax of two pence in the pound be devoted to
the "comfortable maintenance of the ministry of Dover and
Oyster River." A meeting house was built by Valentine Hill
in 1655, near the oyster bed, on the south side of the river, about
half way between the Falls and the Point. March 30, 1656, the
town voted that "thear shall be a house at Oyster Reuer Billd
neie:r the meeting house for the use of the menestrey, the demen-
shens as foUareth, that is to say 36 feet long, 18 foett Broed, 12
foot in the wall, with too chimneyes and to be seutabley
feneshed." This parsonage was burned by the Indians in 1694.
The breadth of land on which it stood long remained parsonage
Rev. Edward Fletcher served as minister at Oyster River about
one year and returned to England in 1657. He came back to
Boston and died there about 1666.
In 1660 a committee chosen by the town and consisting of
Valentine Hill, Richard Walderne, William Wentworth, Raphfe
hall, Richard Otes, William ffurber, John Danes, Robert Burnom,
William Willyames, and William Robords agreed that Oyster
River should have for support of the ministry there twenty
pounds from the rent of the grant at Lamprell River and two
pence to the pound on taxes raised among its own inhabitants;
that they should call their own minister and that he should be
approved by the town or three elders; that the twenty pounds
should be returned in case Oyster River were four months with-
out a minister, they of Dover doing the like in a similar case;
that fifteen pounds should be paid for preaching at Cochecho in
the winter season; and that Valentine Hill's now dwelling house
at Rocky Point should be within the line of division to Oyster
The Rev. Joseph Hull was preaching at Oyster River in 1662,
as is incidentally learned from Quaker history. How long he
had been there does not appear, and he soon after left for the
Isles of Shoals, where he died in 1665. [See Hull family under
Genealogical Notes.]
There is no record of any preaching at Oyster River for the
next twenty years or so. Meanwhile disputes arose and some
thought that the best way to settle them would be to make
Oyster River a separate township. To this end the following
petition was sent to the General Court of Massachusetts in 1669:
To the much honored General Court assembled at Boston, May 17, 1669,
the humble petition of the inhabetants of Oyster Riuer is as followeth. The
consideration of your prudent and pious care for the carriing on the main end
of planting this colonie, in the settling religion and the promoting the welfare
of souls in evrie part of it subject to your government, doth embolden us (who
are also in some measure sensible of the great end we came into the world for
the advancement of the glory of God in our own salvation) to present this
humble address unto yourselues. It is not unknown unto some of you that
the inhabitants of Dover (of whom for the present we are part) manie years
taking into consideration the intolerable inconvenience of our traveil manie
myles, part by land, part by water, manie times by both, to the publick wor-
ship of God and the necessarie stay of manie of us from publick worship, who
can not undergo the difficulties of travel to it, it was then publickly agreed
and concluded that there should be two ministers at Douer, the one at Oyster
Riuer the other at Douer neck, as appears by a town act bearing date the
fourteenth of the fifth, fifty one, the means of calling and maintaining both
which are one, yet while we continue with them there is noe power improued
on our behalfe to that end, nor have we anie of ourselves, whereby we have a
long time and at present groan under intolerable inconveniences, our minis-
trie being greatly weakened, yea and hazarded thereby, having neither head
nor hand to move in calling when without or settling and maintaining when
obtained, and it being so difficult for us to attend civil meetings there that often
most of us cannot be there, whence we are in danger to be neglected or not
taken care of, nor our affairs so well provided for as if we were a township of
ourselves, we being in all two hundred and twentie souls, near fiftie families,
seventie and odd souldiers, a conuinient number of freemen, humbly request
this honoured Court to grant us that so beneficial! a priuilege of becoming a
township with such bounds as haue been alreadie granted us, or shall be
thought meet by this honored Court, and for this end we have sent John
Woodman, an inhabitant among us, and give him power to join anie with
him, as he shall see meet for ye managing of this our petition and prosecution
of our further reasons committed to him. Should this honoured Court whose
care we know e.xtendeth to us among the rest of this colonie vouchsafe us
favourable answer to this request, whereas now our hands and hearts are
weakened in the work, prouision for the ministree at a stay, the old and young
in families too much neglected, others of good use who would join with us dis-
couraged until we become a township, some readie to leave us if things stand
as they doe, we trust upon your grant you will soon find our number increasing,
our hearts and hands strengthened in the work of God, our care more uigorous,
for an able orthodox minister, our families instructed according to law, our-
selves growing in truth and peace to God's glorie, our content and your good,
and we shall not cease to pray God Almightie for a blessing upon 30U in all
your weightie concerns and subscribe ourselves
Yours in humble obseruance

The only effect of the above petition was that the town voted
to allow the inhabitants of Oyster River to build a meeting
house at their own expense and to appropriate their tax for the
ministry. After 1675 two of the five selectmen were chosen from
Oyster River, and the people had their own minister, paid by the
town from the parish rates. Who preached from 1662 till 1682
is not known. There appears to have been no regular and
settled minister. At the latter date John Buss began his labors
here as minister and physician, having previously served several
years at Wells, Me. His house and library were burned at the
time of the great massacre in 1694. If any early records of the
church existed, they were then destroyed, but there was no
organized church. The following petition throws light on his
ministry and the character of the people:
To His Excellency Sam' Shute Esq' Gov and Comander in chief in and over
his Majesties Province of Newhampshire and the Hon'ble his Majesties
Councell and Representatives convened in General assembly:
The Petition of John Buss of Oyster River most humbly Showeth — That
your Petitioner who for forty years successively has laboured in the work of
the ministry in that place even in the time of the late terrible Indian Warr
when many a score fell by the sword both upon ye right hand & the left, &
several! others forced to flight for want of bread during all which time did
watch ward and scout for the more ease and reliefe of ye Inhabitants; and
notwithstanding that, did constantly exercise in the garrison and one other
every Lords Day as god did enable him — But being now advanced to Seventy
Eight years of age and incompassed w"> a great many infirmities, and unable
to perform the usual Exercise of the Ministry the People have not only calld
another Minister but stopt their hands from my Subsistence, where upon he is
greatly reduced having neither bread to eat nor Sufficient Cloathing to in-
counter the approaching Winter — Wherefore your petitioner most humbly
supplicates that your Excellency, the councill, and Representatives would so
compassionate his miserable circumstances, as to order a competent mainte-
nance during life — And your Petitioner shall ever pray,
John Buss.
It was voted, 8 October 1718, that "the Selectmen of Dover
be advised to do their duty & take care of sd John Buss & supply
him with what he is in necessity of, according to ye law of this
Province; and that the Selectmen of Dover pay him twenty
pounds out of the town stock to be paid quarterly from year to
year." [N. H. Province Papers, Vol. XVII, p. 736.]
The following contract shows when the new meeting house
was built at the Falls, where the Sullivan monument now stands.
The original paper is in the possession of S. H. Shackford, Esq.,
of Boston. The signatures and names of witnesses have been
torn from it:
To all Christian People to whom this Covenantor instrument in writing Shall
Come and appear now Know ye that I John Tomson Sinior off the township
of Dover and Provance of new hempshir do heir by these presence grant Cove-
nant and agree with the parties following that is to say Leu' Jeramiah Burnum
Lef» Abraham Bennick Jonathan Woodman Leu»°' Joseph Davis Stephen
Jones Philip Chesley John Smith Junior of the foresaid towne and provanc I
the forsd John Tomson do by these presenc bind and oblidge me to fram an
meeting house at Oyster river being in Length fortie foots and thirtie six foots
in bredth and twentie footes stude with an Belfree preportionble to the house
And to provyd and haill all the timber to the place appointed and that at or
before the thretie one day of July next ensewing the dait hereof And we the
forsaid parties do heir by these presence bind and oblidg our selves conjunctlie
and severalie to pay or cause to be payed to the forsaid John Tomson the sume
of sevintie three pounds money inConsidderationof the work don by him in the
forsd fram the one half to be payde in money when all the timber is haled and

Hemptowne And for the trew performanc heir of our hands and sealles this
nynteen day of Janwary one thousand seven hundred and twelve threeteen in
"presenc of these witnesses.
Thus we know just when the first meeting house at Durham
Falls was built and something of its size and appearance. The
location was chosen not without opposition of the people living at
the Point. Indeed, another meeting house was built at the Point
soon after. July 3, 17 19, Francis Mathes deeded to the inhabit-
ants of the lower part of the parish of Oyster River one half of
an acre of land and road thereto two rods wade, on the south
side of the mouth of Oyster River, so long as the same should
be used for public worship. The deed shows that the frame
was then on the lot and was to be erected the next week. [N. H.
Province Deeds, XVI, 104.]
Dr. Quint at one time confused this meeting house at the Point
with the first one built at the oyster bed. He says it stood upon
a knoll on the land owned at the time of his writing by John
Mathes, at the extremity of Durham Point. " It is on the north-
ern side of the road, but a few rods from the water side. It is
exactly north from the Mathes burial place; or rather this burial
place is at the edge of the knoll. The meeting house stood,
doubtless, within four or five rods, northerly of that inclosed burial
ground." This describes the location of the opposition meeting
house at the Point, built in the year 1719. There is no record
that any minister ever preached therein except the Rev. Hugh
Adams, and the frame was taken down some years after, trans-
ported to Portsmouth, and became part of the chapel of Dr.
Buckminster's church, as saith tradition recorded in the Smith
The opposition between the Falls and the Point in the matter
of meeting house and ministry is further shown by the following

In this tutorial, we will show you how to set up your Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection on your system by using a wireless DD-WRT router.
Before establishing a connection, you must make sure that you have got a working internet connection, a router that supports PPTP, and a VPN account. A VPN connection does not work on an ISP modem. In order to make your VPN connection work, you need to connect another router with your modem.
Step 1: Create an ethernet connection or a wireless connection from your router to your computer. Follow 1a if you are connecting Ethernet router and 1b for wireless connection.
Step 2: Click on the Basic Setup tab of the DD-WRT router. You can see a window with several entries. From the Connection Type drop-down menu, choose the PPTP.
Step 3: For the Use DHCP option, choose Yes.
Step 4: In the Gateway (PPTP Server), type the name of the server that you want to use (You can obtain a VPN connection from an online VPN shop) and write Username and Password in the relevant fields. In the additional PPTP option field, write refuse-eap.
Step 5: Now you must navigate to DHCP Server and make sure that it is enabled. Click on Apply Settings and then click on Save.
Step 6: Now you must go to the menu bar and click on Status and then click on the WAN tab. Click Connect in order to connect to your VPN provider.

Coping with яюE Terrible Grades in College Most college students do not earn the levels
Coping with Terrible Grades in College Most college students do not earn the levels they count on in college or university, particularly during their year that is first in but also again after declaring their unique majors. Often youngsters' expectations include challenged by the truth of different requirements. Sometimes students have not been correctly served by prior class perform. Sometimes the school training course perhaps you are taking requires a brand new method of learning, composing, or studying.
Long lasting case, it is possible to handle bad grades in school.
But, first, there are methods never to manage worst college grades.
• Don't blame the professor. You ought to simply take responsibility for your understanding and then is the time, in reality perhaps the most wonderful options, to discover what-you-may end up being carrying out
• never state your deserve a significantly better class. You're in the career of earning a level, and you are clearly perhaps not inside a situation of determining that which you are entitled to.
You skill
• Study harder. That may suggest additional time on your course jobs. In addition might suggest being in destination where you could focus much better once you perform research.
• though there try seldom a chance in school to earn credit that is extra university teachers will often take a resubmission of the paper. Inquire if it is just a chance for you personally.
• become help from external resources.

8 Handy Tips for Road Tripping on the Cheap
Road tripping across the country may be fun, but the costs can add up fast. Learn how you can save money on gas, lodging, food, and more!
Road trips have long been a summer tradition for many Americans. Getting in the car with the whole family and driving for hours is a great way to create vacation memories without the expense of a flight.
However, cheaper doesn't always mean cheap. Gas prices may not be at an all-time high, but they're still pretty expensive; plus, you'll need to stay somewhere and eat something, which will cost you some of that sweet vacation dough. But if you plan out your trip in advance and use these expert tips we've compiled, you should be able to keep your road trip costs under control.
1. Plan ahead to minimize gas costs.
Other than the road and a driver, a car might be the most essential part of a road trip. But, and we know this might come as a surprise if you just woke up from 400 years of slumber, cars can be very expensive. Not just the purchasing of the cars itself, but maintenance, repairs, and of course, gas.
Depending on the distance, gas could easily be one of the most expensive parts of your road trip. But as the non-copyrighted knock-off slogan says, "an app exists for that purpose."
Jessica Prouty of GasBuddy pointed how this (free!) app can help you plan ahead and cut costs: "We list all the gas stations near you + real-time prices, so you know exactly where to fill up for the cheapest price. Super helpful for road trips! Drivers can also search for gas stations with amenities like air for the tires, restaurants, and clean restrooms."
2. For vehicle rentals, go with the big guys.
You could also consider renting a more fuel-efficient vehicle for the trip. If you are thinking of a rental car for whatever reason, you may want to consider this advice from Viktoria Altman, travel blogger at GoTravelTipster.com: "If you are renting a car, be sure to use a high-quality car rental service such as Enterprise, Avis or Hertz. Larger car rental companies have newer fleets which means you are less likely to have car trouble—the last thing you want on a family vacation."
If you can get your gas costs squared away, that's great! But you'll probably get hungry on the drive …
3. Avoid restaurants by packing your own food.
Snacks are a classic part of the road trip experience. But eventually, you're going to need something more substantial. It can be great sampling the local cuisine but you don't want to break your budget on too many fancy roadside delicacies.
"Pick up food from supermarkets and roadside farm stands and enjoy a picnic," suggested Altman. "Eating in restaurants is expensive, and picnics are one of the great joys of a family road trip."
"Plan out meals," Phil Risher, founder of the Young Adult Survival Guide, told us. "Plan when you will make/pack lunch or dinner and when you will eat out. This is important because we all have the best intentions to make food on a trip but it usually never happens. I get a loaf of bread and peanut butter to have a quick inexpensive snack or lunch."
4. Pack lots of snacks and water, too.
And remember those snacks we mentioned earlier? You'll definitely want to make sure they're packed in advance if possible.
"Pack snacks," advised Alex Lauderdale, Transportation Analyst at EducatedDriver.org. "two dollars here and there for chips and candy adds up. Especially when you can purchase the same snacks in bulk at the grocery store for much less. So stock up prior to the road trip and take them with you."
Additionally Lauderdale says to: "Bring water. Similar to snacks, a bottle of water will cost one-to-two dollars at a gas station, but you can get an entire case of water for a bit more than that at the grocery store. Same goes for cokes, bottled tea, etc."
And now you're getting sleepy. Very, very sleepy …
5. Don't stay in a hotel. Go camping instead.
You can only drive for so long before you'll need a place to sleep. And you'll also probably want somewhere to stay once you actually reach your destination.
Have you considered camping? It's what Risher does: "Camp, if you can. Camping ranges from free to $50 a night for full hook up. Usually, a hotel starts at $100 a night. This was a simple way I was able to save $1000's road tripping."
It's also what Altman does: "Instead of hotels consider camping some of the nights. You can buy or borrow the camping equipment and have a great time roasting marshmallows and hot dogs in the evening."
6. Or just utilize apps and benefits for a better rate.
But camping isn't for everyone. You should look ahead online to see which affordable hotels still have good reviews so you aren't stuck in a total dump. And you can use apps like Groupon or HotelTonight.
And Lauderdale offered another option to consider: "Use those AAA benefits. I'm a big fan of AAA for safety reasons, which can be particularly useful on road trips. But let's not overlook the discounts. AAA can help you save on meals, hotels, and more."
But don't forget the activities!
7. Look into getting a pass.
Once you reach your destinations (or the destinations along the way) you're going to want something to do. And ideally, it won't cost too much.
"Look into CityPass," suggested Lauderdale. "If you're planning on road tripping to a big city, CityPass may save you big. Purchasing a CityPass gives you access to several of the most popular tourist events in a city at about a 50% discount."
Risher advises a different kind of pass: "Get a National Park Pass. If you are under retirement age this costs $80, if you are over retirement age it costs $10 (I think). Regardless this allows you to go to any National Park and not pay the entrance fee of usually $35. These are relatively inexpensive places to visit and usually are really awesome places you have learned about before. Grand Canyon, Zion, Yosemite, etc."
And frequency is another factor to consider. "Plan only one big activity per day," recommended Altman. "Any more and you are likely to feel stressed out and overly scheduled. Planning one big activity per day costs less too."
8. Walking tours are fun and cheap!
Finally, here's a suggestion from Bernard Sury, one of the founders of GuruWalk: "Taking a free walking tour (or guruwalk) is a great affordable option during a road trip. Travelers can indeed give what they want at the end of the tour, according to their budget and the experience they had.
"On a road trip, we don't usually spend a lot of time at each stop. In a few hours, you'll have a very good overview of the city you're visiting. You'll also avoid tourist traps and receive local recommendations on how to save on accommodations, food, and activities. Moreover, as you never know what can happen on the road, these tours are a very flexible option as most of them can be booked online the day before.
"GuruWalk is an online platform with more than 700 tours based on tips in more than 210 cities around the globe. We're opening new tours in new cities every week."

Oobleck's weird behavior is now predictable
It's a sensation numerous preschoolers know really: whenever you blend cornstarch and water, weird things take place. Swish it carefully inside a dish, and also the combination sloshes around such as for instance a liquid. Squeeze it, and it begins to feel like paste. Roll it in the middle of your arms, also it solidifies right into a rubbery ball. Make an effort to hold that basketball when you look at the hand of your hand, and it'll dribble away as being a liquid.
We that have used this stuff know it as "oobleck," called after a sticky green goo in Dr. Seuss' "Bartholomew additionally the Oobleck." Researchers, having said that, reference cornstarch and liquid like a "non-Newtonian substance" — a material that seems thicker or thinner according to exactly how it is literally controlled.
Now MIT engineers have developed a mathematical design that predicts oobleck's unusual behavior. Employing their design, the scientists accurately simulated exactly how oobleck turns from a fluid to a solid and back again, under numerous problems.
In addition to forecasting just what the things might do in the hands of young children, this new model can be useful in forecasting just how oobleck alongside solutions of ultrafine particles might respond for army and manufacturing applications. Could an oobleck-like material fill highway potholes and briefly harden being a car drives over it? Or maybe the slurry could pad the lining of bulletproof vests, morphing shortly into an additional guard against abrupt effects. Using team's brand new oobleck model, manufacturers and engineers may start to explore these types of possibilities.
"It's an easy product to help make — you go to the grocery store, buy cornstarch, after that start your faucet," says Ken Kamrin, associate teacher of technical engineering at MIT. "But it ends up the guidelines that govern just how this material flows have become nuanced."
Kamrin, and graduate pupil Aaron Baumgarten, have actually published their particular results today inside Proceedings of nationwide Academy of Sciences.
A clumpy design
Kamrin's major work centers around characterizing the movement of granular material such as sand. Over time, he's developed a mathematical design that precisely predicts the flow of dried out grains within a wide range of different problems and surroundings. Whenever Baumgarten joined up with the team, the researchers began work with a model to spell it out exactly how concentrated wet sand techniques. It had been for this time that Kamrin and Baumgarten saw a medical talk on oobleck.
"We'd seen this talk, and now we had a long discussion over what's oobleck, and how could it be distinct from damp sand," Kamrin says. "After some vigorous back-and-forth with Aaron, he decided to see when we could turn this damp sand design into one for oobleck."
Granular product in oobleck is a lot finer than sand: an individual particle of cornstarch is all about 1 to 10 microns wide and about one-hundredth the dimensions of a grain of sand. Kamrin says particles at this type of small-scale experience effects that bigger particles like sand never. For example, because cornstarch particles are little, they may be influenced by temperature, and by electric costs that build up between particles, causing them to a little repel against each other.
"As very long while you squish gradually, the grains will repel, maintaining a level of fluid among them, and simply slip past both, like a fluid," Kamrin states. "however if you are doing such a thing too fast, you'll overcome that little repulsion, the particles will touch, there will be friction, and it'll work as a great."
This repulsion occurring during the small scale brings about an integral difference between big and ultrafine grain mixtures at lab scale: The viscosity, or consistency of wet sand in a provided packaging density remains the same, whether you stir it carefully or slam a fist involved with it. In comparison, oobleck features a reasonable, liquid-like viscosity when gradually stirred. However, if its area is punched, a quickly growing area associated with slurry right beside the contact point becomes more viscous, causing oobleck's surface to bounce as well as withstand the influence, such as for instance a solid trampoline.
They found that stress had been the main aspect in determining whether a material was more or less viscous. For-instance, the faster and more forcefully oobleck is disturbed, the "clumpier" it is — that's, the greater amount of the underlying particles make frictional, unlike lubricated, contact. In case it is gradually and carefully deformed, oobleck is less viscous, with particles which can be more uniformly distributed hence repel against one another, like a fluid.
The team looked to model the effect of repulsion of fine particles, utilizing the idea that maybe a brand new "clumpiness variable" might be added to their type of damp sand to help make an exact style of oobleck. Inside their design, they included mathematical terms to explain how this variable would develop and shrink under a specific anxiety or power.
"Now we have a powerful way of modeling exactly how clumpy any chunk for the material in your body will soon be while you deform it in a arbitrary method," Baumgarten states.
Rims spinning
The researchers included this brand new adjustable within their more basic model for wet sand, and seemed to see whether it would anticipate oobleck's behavior. They utilized their particular design to simulate previous experiments by others, including a straightforward setup of oobleck being squeezed and sheared between two plates, and a set of experiments in which a tiny projectile is shot as a tank of oobleck at different rates.
Throughout circumstances, the simulations paired the experimental data and reproduced the movement for the oobleck, replicating the areas in which it morphed from liquid to solid, and back.
To observe their model could predict oobleck's behavior much more complex circumstances, the team simulated a pronged wheel driving at various speeds over a deep sleep associated with the slurry. They found the faster the wheel-spun, the more the mixture formed exactly what Baumgarten calls a "solidification front side" into the oobleck, that momentarily aids the wheel such that it can roll across without sinking.
Kamrin and Baumgarten say the new model can be used to explore how different ultrafine-particle solutions such as for example oobleck behave whenever used as, including, fillings for potholes, or bulletproof vests. They say the model may possibly also help to identify techniques to reroute slurries through methods such as commercial plants.
"With commercial waste elements, you can get fine particle suspensions that don't movement how you anticipate, along with to go them with this vat to this vat, and there may be recommendations that folks don't know yet, because there's no model for this," Kamrin claims. "Maybe presently there is."
This study was supported, partly, by the Army analysis Office in addition to National Science Foundation.

In our previous article we introduced you to Empathic Intervision as a new peer-to-peer structured method of interaction for groups working together to identify opportunities and co-create solutions. We described how it supplements intervision with the advantages of layered empathic capacities to aid deeper hearing and consideration of each other's perspectives. We also discussed the general process of Intervision meetings and described its contributions to well-being, personal growth, innovation and learning for individuals, organisations and groups.Today we continue by describing some of the challenges people experience with Intervision. We then continue, showing how Empathic Intervision is designed to address these challenges and enhance Intervision benefits. Additional layers of empathic skills will be introduced and Empathic Intervision is explained.
Intervision methods are generally successful in improving professional expertise and quality of work. They do, however, come with specific challenges.
Peers joining an intervision may come to the group with different expectations of- and intentions for a meeting. Some people are inclined to grab a cup of coffee and throw up their legs, while others feel there are pressing issues and no time to waste. These differences can create tensions which go unnoticed unless explicitly voiced.
The nature of the intervision process relies upon mutual trust. Confidentiality is essential. What is discussed during intervision stays there. Participants are not allowed to take any of the information discussed into other conversations, unless with specific consent. But establishing trust is frequently taken for granted. Having no formal way to contract ethical responsibilities with one another, leads to -often unintended- mistakes. Once trust is breached, interpersonal problems inevitably arise.
People interacting together regularly start to take each other's way of working and thinking for granted. In these situations diverse views can disappear and creativity can wither. It becomes more and more difficult to come up with creative alternatives to current problems his may lead to demotivation to hold more intervision meetings as well as a lack of finding ways to solve issues at work.
Empathic Intervision addresses the complexity of interpersonal dynamics in diverse groups. It applies layered empathic capabilities to the intervision method to facilitate interpersonal processes. If left unacknowledged and unharnessed, group dynamics may undermine the intervision process. Empathic capabilities are engaged in Empathic Intervision to ensure that unique skills and perspectives associated with diversity are embraced to facilitate creativity and innovation rather than causing aggravations between people.
The outcome of the intervision meeting is better served if it is guided by a skilfully articulated intention. Empathic Intervision is useful to you and your colleagues when it is applied as a means to an end. Intentions act as a road-map guiding the individual and collective will and actions with a particular focus.
Each Empathic Intervision meeting begins with setting a collective and a personal intention. The collective intention is named as such since it is agreed upon with the whole group. Taking time to discern a collective intention alleviates the problem of people coming to the meeting with different expectations of, and intentions for, the meeting. The personal intention represents each individual's intention towards the collective intention. It shows all participants the depth and breadth of perspectives and establishes both, focus and commitment.
Working effectively and efficiently with others in an Empathic Intervision meeting requires mutual trust. This in turn requires creating a conducive environment for each person to be courageous to offer their best. It requires sharing experiences, thoughts and feelings. The most innovative solutions emerge when people are able to share their most deeply held insights and creativity. These aspects are often accompanied by feelings of vulnerability. It is therefore essential that all participants in the meetings carry a shared ethical responsibility to uphold an environment that embraces confidentiality and the suspension of judgment. Empathic Intervision emphasises the practice of ethical responsibility with a step in the structured process dedicated to contracting the required environment by the members of the group.
Practising helps you to develop agency, the awareness of yourself as being the initiator of actions, desires, thoughts and feelings. With self-empathy you become aware of your own experiential state in each moment. This enables you to differentiate your own emotional experience from the experiences of others. In the group it helps to become aware of your intentions, how you relate to others and how you avoid slipping into groupthink.
Interpersonal dynamics in a group can be complex. Often the complexities are provoked through intentions and states of being expressed and responded to through bodily gestures. Kinesthetic empathy is applied to intervision practice as a way to bring awareness to these unconscious expressions and to help you and the group to synchronize and coordinate with each other. You become more aware of the influence you have on each other and on your and their physical space. When self-empathy and kinesthetic empathy are practised together, the best of individual and group thinking is brought into being.
Once intentions are set and ethical responsibility is contracted, a space is created to address the issue at hand. In conventional intervision methods, a speaker speaks and peers listen. Empathic Intervision has a different approach to gathering information. It asks peers to reflect back what they hear the speaker say. The advantage of this type of conversation is threefold:
While the to and fro of empathic conversation gives an opportunity to clarify the experience of the speaker, it does not offer alternative perspectives. Chances are that the search for common understanding actually has an adverse effect: it narrows the way group members look at the topic. Imaginative empathy uses imagination and acting to enable you to renew your outlook on the issue at hand, understand the perspectives of others in your group and to experience the effects of having a problem explored from multiple perspectives. It is used as a means to explore complicated, complex or stressful situations through 'as-if' acting.
The peer-to-peer nature of intervision makes this organizational approach relevant to current organizational development. We are observing the emergence of practices such as human-centric design, agile self-organizing teams and co-creation, where the aim is to bridge silos, cross barriers and engage a broader range of knowledge. Hierarchical systems, in which experts are able to define a path and influence follow-through, are losing traction. Methodologies are emerging that rotate power dynamics from hierarchical to horizontal. The aim is to enable people to engage their authentic, motivated selves at work.
Intervision is an approach to action learning and experiential learning. The process of Empathic Intervision provides a method of organized dialogue that responds to the needs, in organizations, for a human-centred approach. As a peer-to-peer process it aims to transform traditional hierarchical power dynamics. It also combines work with learning. Colleagues are able to tap into their combined knowledge, experience and skill repertoire to explore complex work issues in real-time.
We hope to have given you a taste of what Empathic Intervision is and how it can be of benefit to a diverse range of organisational processes. If this has sparked your interest, why not have a look at our website, where you will find more information about the different programs we offer, the science informing this method as well as ways to contact us.

In our previous article we introduced you to Empathic Intervision as a new peer-to-peer structured method of interaction for groups working together to identify opportunities and co-create solutions. We described how it supplements intervision with the advantages of layered empathic capacities to aid deeper hearing of each other and consideration of each other's perspectives.Today we continue by describing how intervision differs from supervision, how the intervision process itself works and how it contributes to well-being, personal growth, innovation and learning for individuals, organisations and groups.
Both intervision and supervision are about vision, in that they address situations, challenges and problems to envision a preferred situation or outcome. However, with the prefix of inter- in place of super-, emphasis in intervision is on a multilateral exchange between peers or colleagues. There is a transverse, horizontal integration rather than vertical alignment of knowledge transfer. In intervision, suspicions around the influence of challenges discussed on job performance evaluations are no issue. Intervision is aimed at personal and team growth with the help of peers.
Supervision, on the other hand, is a hierarchical process that involves a supervisor meeting and interacting with a worker to review their work. It typically involves a manager offering developmental activities to employees. It also includes a monitoring and support component whereby a manager supports the worker to deal with complex situations and dilemmas. Supervision is commonly used in medical, psychological and social practice where it is considered essential for effective practice (Munson, 1981).
Although many different methods exist to help structure intervision meetings, most of them go through similar phases. First, an incident, question, success story or problem is chosen as the focus of that specific meeting. The person introducing the issue explains, often with as much detail as possible, what is going on. Peers listen, and possibly take notes.
Then a round of clarification takes place. Peers try to clarify as much as possible all potential angles on the issue. A common way of doing this is to question the provider of the topic or to discuss amongst peers what they see as the issue at hand. Advice is never given. This round is meant solely for clarification and, if applicable, problem definition. Sometimes, this process needs to be repeated because aspects can still seem unclear.
The third phase entails a round of experience sharing. Peers share their own experiences and insights as well as possible behavioural alternatives. In this divergent phase, as many solutions, answers or suggestions as possible are gathered and centrally noted down.
The fourth phase returns the issue at hand to its introducer. This is a phase of reflection, possible clarification of suggestions, and the forming of a 'plan of action': a way for the person introducing the issue to reflect on all the suggestions provided and determine a way to move forward. Often, all people taking part in the intervision reflect back on the session and share what they themselves have learned from it. This can also include an evaluation of how people have worked together and one's own contribution to the shared working.
Although the above-mentioned process might seem individualistic in nature, it does not have to be. Different methods highlight different aspects and ways of working. Important is that the topic discussed lies within the field of influence of the participants. I.e., not everyone within an organisation has the capacity to change the existing organisational culture. A more adapted question in that type of situation is how one can successfully work with or within it.
Intervision, and indeed Empathic Intervision, enjoys many characteristics and benefits:
The intervision methods in general and the Empathic Intervision in particular create a feeling of connection amongst participants working together. The nature of the process strengthens their sense of belonging to the organization and group. It also facilitates a shared purpose, a common understanding and a common perception of value.
The structure of Empathic Intervision provides for reflection on self through self-empathy practice. Participants in the group are encouraged to learn to reflect on their own actions, become more aware of motives and take responsibility for the effects of their actions on others and on the work as a whole.
The emphasis on shared expertise and experience and the promotion and engagement of diversity of roles, perspectives, expertise and experience provides a fertile ground for innovation. Empathic intervision encourages people to challenge their perspective, thus avoiding entrenching single realities. It provides the people in the group with a sounding board for their ideas. This diminishes groupthink while building cohesion and leads to a collaborative culture and collective responsibility.
Intervision enables a learning culture in your organization. The combined focus on work and learning practice ensures that what is learnt during training is implemented at work. Technical training is applied to complex situations and the supportive role of peers with diverse knowledge and experience means that someone else in the group is likely to have the practical experience to move things forward.
The process provides a platform to learn from, and with, colleagues. By giving and receiving feedback, you contribute to each other's development and help each other to perform better at work. It leads to experiential learning as it gives you and the group access to alternative ideas, consequently helping to shift directions and test new approaches.
In the third article in this series, we will show how the benefits of intervision as discussed here, and the shortfalls of intervision as discussed next time, are respectively enhanced and addressed by using an Empathic Intervision practice. We will also position Empathic Intervision in modern organisational climates.
Empathy has gained a lot of traction over recent years in many professional sectors. The Businessolver State of Workplace Empathy Study (2019) demonstrates that leaders are in greater agreement than ever with their employees on the need for empathy in the workplace, yet crucial gaps remain between intentions and implementation. In order to bridge this gap, empathy practice needs to be understood, implemented, and studied. Walking the talk requires hands-on empathic skills.
This series of articles will introduce you to Empathic Intervision, a structured method of interaction for people working together, to identify opportunities and co-create solutions to challenges. We start off with a description of what is commonly known as intervision and we place the specific practice of empathic intervision within this organizational approach.
In the English language, intervision is not a term commonly used. As you get to know more about intervision, particularly in an organizational climate opening to co-creation, bridging of silos, human-centric practices, servant leadership and other strivings to dismantle traditional hierarchical power structures, you may wonder why not. The current series of articles will answer the questions: What is Intervision? How does it differ from supervision? Where and how is it applied? What are some of its characteristics? And why is it so relevant to our time? We will also address the issue of why empathy is particularly relevant as a capacity in intervision.
Intervision is an organised conversation between people combining work with learning. It is a structured method according to which colleagues come together to handle situations, questions and problems with an intent to learn from each other, improve expertise and co-evolve new insights and outcomes, with regard to the issue at hand.
It is structured in that it provides a process within which colleagues are organized to address a predefined issue. It is not a free for all. A well-designed routine, managed according to time and content, offers valuable support for peers to address issues.
Another defining characteristic of intervision is that it is peer-to-peer. A group of colleagues embrace a combined diversity of knowledge, experience and skill. It serves to facilitate a range of colleagues to work and learn together. Intervision is frequently applied in a setting where a group of professionals, such as doctors, with either an individual, or a common professional challenge, come together to analyse work related issues. In business a group of managers or a team may establish a routine to analyse work related issues and to look for possible technical or interpersonal solutions or alternatives to behaviour.
Intervision has a dual purpose: improving work situations through common understanding and professional development, as well as learning through work related issues. Colleagues meet to explore and handle situations, questions or problems in a work context. Through a methodical exploration, colleagues learn from each other and rely upon their combined experience and knowledge to understand a situation from multiple perspectives.
While intervision is little known in English-speaking institutions, it is extensively applied in professional, business and learning institutions in the Netherlands and to a lesser degree in Belgium and France.
Empathic Intervision supplements the advantages of intervision with layered empathic capacities that serve to strengthen engagement and encourage diversity amongst members of a group. This is always an advantage, and particularly useful where there are cultural differences or differences of opinion. Empathic capacities enable members to listen and hear each other's deeper experiences, thoughts and feelings about a topic and to identify and consider the perspectives of the others in the group.
Empathic Intervision is guided by and aligned with the setting of collective intentions. An environment conducive to innovation and learning is cultivated to embrace confidentiality and the suspension of judgment by considering and contracting ethical responsibility. Participants useself-empathy to bring awareness to their own conscious, and hidden agendas, helping them to identify how they show up to meetings. A moment is taken to allow everyone to set a consciously chosenpersonal intentionthat aligns to the previously set collective intention. Reflective conversation ensures that the issues raised are fully heard and understood by each member of the group. Clarifying the experience of the speaker for both speaker and listeners. Imaginative empathyapplies imagination and acting to gain perspective on the multiple and diverse views in the meeting, to enable participants to renew their outlook on the issue at hand with a composite understanding of the multiple perspectives represented by the group.
In the following articles in this series we will look at the process of intervision itself. We will discuss how intervision differs from supervision and what the typical components of intervision are. We will discuss the benefits and shortfalls of the general intervision process and we will show how the benefits are enhanced and the shortfalls addressed with Empathic Intervision.

All Bets Are Off.
Empowering men and women through jewelry.
All Bets Are Off is one of the most precious and most beloved creations I have achieved so far. In 2017 I partnered up with a dear friend to start a project; we did not know what it was but we just knew we had to create something together. After various lattes a chocolate chip cookies, we decided we wanted to complement our different personalities with a common denominator: jewelry. Dozens of names and sketches were thrown away before reaching the amazing All Bets Are Off.
While talking about what each of us had in mind, we stumbled upon our personalities, extremely different but exactly the same in some ways. I'm mostly the extrovert but shy when dressing up and she's the introvert but a spotlight when it comes to dressing and accessorizing. Funny enough, we were determined to exchange a bit of our personality to the other one to create something big. All Bets Are Off was born with the intention of giving power to men and women through jewelry and accessories. The catch for extroverts but afraid of dressing is to get them out of their comfort zone, and for the introverts while crazy costumed, for opening the path of conversation starters.
Our designes have been tested out on men, women, clubs, bars, weddings, funerals, and many other environments and as a result, our pieces have worked for both my associate and me to complement our missing personality piece. After many design failures, broken prototypes and nasty judgments, we are currently selling and designing.
2017 - today
Self Made Prototypes
Production Prototypes
Final Designs for Production
These have been extremely fun and gratifying months and we dream on continuing with this marvelous project by learning and perfectioning our design and processes to design more collections with hopes of reaching more people.

September 23, 2016: ICD-Pieces: Early Implementation and Progress
ICD-Pieces: Early Implementation and Progress
Miguel Vazquez, MD, Professor, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Texas, Southwestern Medical Center, and Medical Director of Transplantation at St. Paul University Hospital
George (Holt) Oliver, MD, PhD, Vice President of Clinical Informatics at Parkland Health and Hospital System, UT Southwestern
Multiple chronic conditions; Comorbidity; Chronic kidney disease; Diabetes; Hypertension; High blood pressure; Clinical informatics; Pragmatic clinical trial; Electronic health record; Cluster randomization
Key Points
- Improving Chronic Disease Management with Pieces™ (ICD-Pieces) is a pragmatic clinical trial involving the care of patients with multiple chronic conditions: chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and hypertension.
- In the ICD-Pieces trial, patients receive care in a collaborative model of primary/subspecialty care enhanced by novel information technology and the use of clinical practice facilitators (e.g., pharmacist, nurse practitioner, population specialist). The aim is to evaluate whether patients who receive this collaborative care have fewer hospitalizations, readmissions, ER visits, cardiovascular events and deaths than patients receiving standard medical care.
- ICD-Pieces takes place across four diverse healthcare systems (public, private, federal), each with their own EHR infrastructure. The trial employs a stratified cluster randomization by healthcare system with the unit of randomization being the clinical practice.
- The centralized, cloud-based Pieces technology provides IT security, standardized patient identification, and clinical decision support for the participating healthcare systems.
Discussion Themes
Regular communication with each site's healthcare team is essential. The practice facilitators help with the intervention protocols and workflows.
Will cost effectiveness data be collected? How will the total cost of care be evaluated?

Colson: Even George W. Bush can't take Trump
Hit & Run
The national right-wing coup continues, and for some reason I can't bring myself to write about anything else.
I'm glad, at least, that I live in Colorado, where the voters did not succumb to the dark fantasy that blinded some 62.9 million citizens in November who cast ballots for Donald Trump and against their own best interests.
Of course, I must note (and I will continue to point this out regularly in this column) that approaching 66 million of us nationwide also did not succumb to that dark fantasy and voted for Hillary Clinton, but Republican gerrymandering gave the electoral college victory to Trump.
So much for fair elections; hence, my opening statement. A coup has occurred in the United States, and not for the first time.
The last time, you might recall, was when President John F. Kennedy was gunned down by a crew of assassins in Dallas, Texas, in 1963. That incident was whitewashed and covered up by federal authorities worried about civil unrest and possibly civil war, and it has yet to be fully explained.
Anyway, this slow-moving, right-wing coup (as television commentator Bill Maher once termed it) is rolling right along.
Last week, in a move that would fit in better at an elementary school playground, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer (who is vying with the president for the title "Liar In Chief") held a briefing with a chosen set of friendly news outlets while barring any reporters from news organizations that have in some way been critical of Trump and his machinations.
You can read all about it on the internet; don't take my word for it.
The worst aspect of this tawdry display of grammar school behavior is that it is yet another effort to delegitimize the news media in this country, a ploy that Trump has been using throughout his campaign and now his presidency.
It is an effort to deflect attention from the fact that he and his crew have no idea what they're doing, beyond their too-clear goal of dismantling the federal government to a point where it will take years to rebuild.
Oh, right, he is planning to boost military spending by $54 billion while cutting non-military spending by an equivalent amount, according to headlines Monday and leaked information from his administration. But we all knew that the military would not be included in the deconstruction plans, at least not at first blush.
So we have the embarrassing spectacle of a guy who has no military or political experience trying to show how manly he is by slashing federal spending for social welfare programs of all sorts while shoveling money at the military.
And it looks as though he'll be aiming our soldiers at nations that really pose no threat to the U.S. at all, if his recently derailed Muslim ban is any guide to Trump's thinking.
If this were not so frightening and globally destabilizing, it might even be funny, in a pathetic kind of way.
Of course, it's not just at the federal level that bad things are happening concerning our institutional free press and other things.
Just last week we learned that several state legislators have introduced proposals to essentially criminalize political protests, in an attempt to prevent any further demonstrations along the lines of the worldwide Women's March in opposition to Trump and his policies.
Also, there is news that the right-wing American Legislative Exchange Council, which is a creature of the notoriously anti-worker Koch, is pushing for a national "right-to-work" law that would further undermine our national dependence on unions to fight for working class Americans' labor rights, decent wages and a place at the table in determining our industrial future.
And, according to an activist organization called People's Action, in recent days elected officials in Michigan, Iowa and upstate New York have shut their office doors to protesting constituents angered about plans to kill the Affordable Care Act without figuring out how to replace it. At the same time, these legislators have made sure to keep the back doors open to their big donors and business buddies, whose interests do not often jibe with those or ordinary constituents.
It's surely a sign of our deteriorating times when even former President George W. Bush calls for more information about Trump's ties to Russia and investigation into possible Russian interference in the recent national election (you can read about it at TheHill.com, a website focused on government news).
Bush also criticized Trump's nonstop attacks against the news media, going so far as to say, "We need an independent media to hold people like me to account. Power can be very addictive and it can be corrosive."
Never thought I'd find myself in agreement with the man who trashed our economy and got us into never-ending wars for no good reason, but there it is — George Bush is correct in his belief that Trump and his cabal of thugs, right-wing zealots and self-aggrandizing puppets must be investigated on a number of fronts, and it must happen soon.

2019 Service Fee: $4,400 (inc. GST)
I Am Invincible x Woodstock Hussey (by Hussonet)
Standing at Canungra, QLD
Kobayashi was an exceptionally fast 2YO winning two starts at Caulfield as a juvenile by 2.3 lengths and three lengths respectively, including the Listed Thoroughbred Club Cup over 1200m, dominating his opposition by three lengths.
A complete outcross and free of Danehill blood, Kobayashi is the best son of sire sensation I Am Invincible to stand in Queensland.
His is a family littered with not just 2YO winners, but black type 2YOs and being by the leading sire I Am Invincible who is leaving quality progeny that are setting both the sales ring and racetracks alight, Kobayashi is an extremely exciting addition to this season's stallion ranks.
- Stakes winning 2YO of the Listed Thoroughbred Club Cup
- A complete outcross free of Danehill blood
- Won two races at 2 by a combined 5.3L
- The first son of breed-shaper I Am Invincible to stand in Queensland
"Kobayashi encapsulated everything that Australia looks for in a stallion; 2YO speed, strength, a great family and he is by the right stallion. It was such a shame that we never got to see his true potential. His dominance over the 1200m at Caulfield as a 2YO was amazing! He is a speed machine and I look forward to seeing the bone, muscle and strength that he will shoot into his progeny."

The summer movie season officially kicked off this weekend with the release of "Iron Man 2," the sequel to the 2008 smash hit that broke box office records and surpassed all expectations.
Being a high-profile sequel to such a successful film is never an easy task, but with much of the original cast and crew back for more (with the exception of Terrence Howard, replaced here by Don Cheadle), Jon Favreau has delivered a follow-up that is superior to its predecessor in nearly every way, with deeper characterizations, more drama and bigger spectacle than the original "Iron Man."
Freed from the confines of an original story, Favreau is given liberty to explore Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) in even greater detail, giving him a more three-dimensional character and a more expansive story. Picking up right where the first one left off, "Iron Man 2" throws us right into the middle of a world that now knows Iron Man's true identity and has been all but cleansed of war and violence by Iron Man's constant vigilance.
But that doesn't mean there aren't constant threats. Rogue nations are trying to replicate Stark's Iron Man technolog while the United States government wants Stark to turn it over so they can replicate it for military use. While Stark fends off their increasingly vocal demands, a specter from the past returns to take revenge on the Stark family in the form of Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke), a brilliant Russian scientist whose father once worked with Stark's father, Howard, before being deported.
Vanko has created his own insidious weapon and teams up with Stark's business competitor, Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell), to create an army of Iron Man drones. But that isn't the only challenge facing Stark this go round; it seems that the magnet in Stark's chest that is keeping him alive is also killing him, slowly poisoning his blood and leading to increasingly self-destructive behavior. This puts a strain on his relationship with his assistant, Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), whom he appoints his successor as CEO of Stark Industries, paving the way for a new assistant, Natalie Rushman (Scarlett Johansson), who may not be everything she appears to be.
One of my biggest issues with the first "Iron Man" was that the final battle seemed short and anti-climactic. Favreau rectifies that here with a massive and spectacular battle sequence between Iron Man, his new partner, War Machine (Cheadle), and Vanko's army of drones. Vanko provides a much stronger villain than Jeff Bridges' Obadiah Stane from the first film, who was not a consistent villainous presence. This time, however, Vanko (also known as Whiplash), provides Iron Man with a real-life supervillain that matches him in both strength and intelligence.
The film ultimately runs a bit long, but Favreau keeps it moving at a good clip. It's obviously meant to be setting up the upcoming "Avengers" movie, with a slightly unnecessary subplot involving Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), who was introduced in a post-credits tag scene in the first film. But it's not enough to significantly hurt the film.
Downey is perfect as Stark and is joined here by a fantastic supporting cast, although Terrence Howard is missed as Stark's friend, Rhodey (aka War Machine), despite a passable turn by Cheadle. Everything here adds up to a popcorn action film that makes good on its promise to thrill and excite without simply retreading what has already been done. "Iron Man 2" is tremendous summer fun, a big-time superhero spectacle that delivers to both fans and newcomers alike, kicking off the summer movie season in sensational fashion.
