Building Towers and the Good All Around Me
I recently was interviewed for a podcast called ADHD Rewired. I saw this as an opportunity to tell my own story of living with ADHD and share a little bit about the AEC model. I thoroughly enjoyed the hour I spent with the host Eric Tivers but as I listened to the audio last week (two months after the original recording) I noticed that a few key elements were missing from my own story.
Whenever I start working with clients I invite them to share their own experience because ADHD is unique and how it impacts individuals. I call this articulating ADHD. An important element of articulating ADHD is to explore the challenge in the context of the bigger opportunity. And, in a sense, this is what coaching is all about- working on a challenge in the context of the greater positive goal.
Interview with Eric Tivers:
As I listened to myself speaking with Eric I noticed that I was violating my own rules in articulating my experience. In the podcast I seemed to focus on the challenges of the past and not share with Eric and the listeners all the good that was supporting my efforts. In college it was not just my perseverance or the fact that school only cost $600 a semester that allowed me to stay and keep working toward a degree. As a teacher it was certainly not a love of writing a better term report that had me stay at Carolina Friends School for 6 years. Both at UMD and at CFS there were people and goodness that supported me tirelessly - the good that was all around me. In the podcast I joked that a lack of structure or accountability contributed to my struggle of being timely with my teacher reports but I didn't speak up about the positive environment that coursed through CFS - the love and grace, the community that was there for me all the time. The faculty's laughter, their care, attention and the seriousness they took in the education of young minds.
This was a community that said yes to my crazy ideas – the weed wacker-powered, 9,000 RPM, spinning top that burned a path across the physics class floor; the potato canons and exploding melons in General Science; the exploding sodium and water experiments in the quad that produced a column of fire 10 feet high (we had our goggles on); the permission to build a climbing tower/ropes course with students and run a full fledged outdoor education program. The confidence to ask me to teach a college level Physics course knowing my dismal college record illustrated in the podcast with Eric. Working at Friends School in the Nineties was a time of challenge for me with regards to living with ADHD but it was also a place to create endlessly and succeed and fall but always being supported in getting up and doing over. That permission and support gave me the space to figure out who I was and how I worked (strengths) and how I didn't work (challenges). It was a time to build out my foundation - the realization of the importance of community and the power of collaborative efforts - as I constructed towers to the sky. Now I do very little outside of collaborative efforts and lean heavily on my small but supportive community of peers. To the Friends School community I say thank you!
Often when we tell stories we can focus on the challenge and not give a balanced view. I want my readers to know that I was not alone in my challenge in the early days of living with ADHD and I'll guess that they are not alone either. So often when faced with a challenge we forget the good that is all around us too. In reflecting on my past I'm well aware of the goodness that supported me over the years.
Take a moment to inventory the good that is in your life. From this perspective challenges don't look so foreboding and the obstacles don't look so high.

Update by user Nov 21, 2017
Ps: Whoever has written the "recap" of my initial account has added that I am seeking a full refund. That has never been the case.
I have only EVER wished for them to be accountable for the substandard services that were performed. I have always been willing to pay for the services rendered in which no damages occurred, and I have only ever sought for them to be accountable for what they have done to me. I am an honest person, and I have had no prior issues with my credit, until I went to this awful, inhumane company period!
And there isn't a thing I can do about it now. It's a sickening feeling.
Update by user Nov 21, 2017
I have finally saved up enough money to replace my ill-fitting crown that had left me with an uneven bite for over 3 years now, and get some other dental work done from my new dentist. The Western Dental office, mine was on Soto Street in Los Angeles, has caused me so much unnecessary pain and anguish.
Guess what was found under the ill-fitting crown they tried to force fit into my mouth? DECAY. I am extremely lucky I did not lose my tooth entirely. If I had waited any longer, the tooth could not have been saved.
A bill for thousands of dollars remains on my credit because I refuse to pay for a so-called business butchering me as they have done. It makes me so angry that they would post a response here telling me to "call them so they can work it out". That is utter ***. I tried again and again to work with them on this matter, and receive some compensation.
I was willing to pay for part of the bill. There are treatments I was charged for and never returned to have the services done. I called and wrote their corporate offices several times. Each time, they send you a form letter claiming to look into the issue, which takes up to 6 MONTHS to receive a response.
I took them to the Dental Board, who said "because they have no record of previous malpractice" nothing can be done, but they would keep my complaint "on file." This process took almost a year to receive this response. I called and wrote to receive my dental records and appointment times so that I could file a small claims case. They ignored me. Those records are legally mine.
I took them to the Better Business Bureau to receive my records. They even ignored that. I had to call the Dental Board, who had examined the case initially, to finally sent MY records to me. Guess what?
The case, after trying to settle it without sueing, was now past the point at which I could file a case and hold them accountable for damages. This must be the reason they wait so long for a determination when you try to resolve a problem with them. I don't know how a company who is supposed to be responsible for a person's health can get away with this. Clearly if dental procedures are not done correctly, it causes pain and further problems in the future.
They have cost me thousands of dollars to repair the "work" I had done there. To find decay under the crown they put in, after having to return twice for imprints and still could not receive a crown that fit, and multiple appointments after that so they could try to "make it" fit? I have to say, I am thoroughly disgusted. They continue to get away with causing me pain and damage (imagine, alone, having an uneven bite for three years, and only being able to chew on the right side of your mouth because it is too painful otherwise).
They continue to drain me because this is the only bad thing on my credit. They have ruined my credit score. Yes, it was my decision not to pay for their "services", but again, I asked only for a removal of all costs relating to this crown, the removal of teeth cleaning services I had never received, and deduction on the crown lengthening procedure done by Periodontist Dr. Li.
This woman is supposed to be a specialist in her field. I have never received any type of "care" in such a graceless, and unprofessional manner. Not only is her skill questionable, she makes her disgust for people absolutely clear. I have never felt so violated in supposed professional care, EVER.
Even her work was shoddy with my stitches coming out the next day, and having to heal with a painful, gaping hole in my mouth; and returning several times being told there was nothing further to be done. I was and still am willing to pay for the other root canal and crown, which they were able to accomplish. They do not care. They are absolutely uninterested in you once you have signed on that dotted line and they get paid.
They would much rather just write off the debt, and probably collect insurance on the "loss", etc. Because they are a horrible company that does hold itself accountable, and they do not care about the health and happiness of their patients. Please learn from my mistake. I went because I was in pain and I had no choice due to financial struggles at that time.
If I could do it again, I would have gone to an ethical doctor, and paid more to finance the surgery. Now that my credit is ruined due to this mistake, I'm not sure what option I would have had. I do know one thing: when I receive a call or a letter from collections in this matter, I tell them I DO wish to reconcile this debt, but I will only accept terms from Western Dental. THEY must be held accountable instead of selling the debt.
I will NEVER pay for health services which have caused me mental and physical pain. I have had to pay to fix the damages they have caused me, and to find decay under this problematic crown they forced into my mouth? Again, I cannot comprehend how this company gets away with it. Do NOT waste time in trying to work with them.
They do not care, and you will be ignored. Start legal proceedings just as quickly as you can.
Sincerely, Jessica O. Collins
Original review posted by user Sep 25, 2016
I went to WD to and had the worst dental experience of my life. I had two root canals and a crown lengthening procedure. I had over 15 appointments and they still could not fix the problem, and I remain with two crowns that are temp glued in and one of them does not fit at all, it was jam forced into a space too small and does not match the color of my teeth, and I cannot chew on my left side. Not only are they dangerously unskilled to be doing ANY sort of real dental work on people, I have never been treated so awfully as I was by this woman Dr. Li who is the periodontist who comes in only once a month, and who did the crown lengthen surgery. She was extremely careless and cruel and performed the surgery in the most painful way possible. I've truly never been so horrified at a supposed professional's manner and competence. After the pain and suffering they put my through I finally just said no more. TWICE they imprinted my teeth for a crown, and TWICE those crowns did not fit.
I finally had to go to another dentist and pay to have him file the most ill-fitting crown down and have him examine what was done to me. He asked if I had gone to a "butcher shop" to have these procedures done. I have to save to try and get this crown replaced by someone who actually knows what they are doing, and meanwhile the bill was put onto my credit and is being reported as a negative on my credit report, because I refuse to pay for what they have done to me. I filed charges with the Dental Board who basically said: "there are no other records of complaints filed about this office. Until there are we can't do anything. We will let you know if anything develops further." I tried several times to get my dental records from them and they ignored me. I even filed a case with the better business bureau for refusal to give me my dental records which legally belong to me, and they ignored that, leaving a negative on their status with the BBB and they don't care. I finally contacted the Dental Board again and told them I could not get them to send me a copy of my records, and the DB actually sent them.
I'm not sure how to pursue legal action toward them as they of course deal exclusively with people who cannot afford care, so you end up going to them in hopes you can make payments for the work you need done and then they butcher you. I think they count on the fact that you won't have money, so they shrug off any responsibility for how awful they are, and count on you not being able to sue or do anything about it.

That is not true! You are lying!
I have written to you over and over. I have sent photos. I have letters from you refusing to take any responsibility. I waited months to hear back you.
You did NOTHING.
Dental Board did NOTHING. I wrote for my records: NOTHING. Took you to the BBB to get my records: NOTHING.
Well now I have them. The dental board finally sent them to me.
And now I finally realize, You are the only people left on there mucking up my credit. I have to pay you.
AND pay someone else to fix what you did. And what are you going to do, I can go back there while you fix it?! After 15 appointments?? After you drilled my teeth and did not cap them.
Teeth breaking off in my mouth. Caps, both of them, fell off in two days. Stitches coming out two weeks before they were supposed to leaving a gaping hole. And a painful and cruel surgery.
That horrible woman! It took over a year for that to not hurt, because you didn't want to stitch it up again. So I suffered with an open hole in my gum. Two sets of imprints and two sets of crowns that don't fit, and a crown jammed into a too small space, she needed a plier to get it out.
I asked several times for you to please adjust this bill. I even said I would still pay for services that were done correctly. But you needed to adjust the charges, remove the charge for this bad crown. Adjust the charge, for that awful operation from that awful awful joke of a surgeon for the things she did, her manner, and the things she said to me.
*Shudder* And to REMOVE the teeth clean that you didn't perform. But you said no. You want me to call so you can adjust the bill?? No.
You're going to say again you'll "fix" it. In other words, you're going to do nothing. I went back too many times already, and you could not fix it.
I could have been in and out of there in minimal pain and minimal visits. If I didn't go to Western Dental!

Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis)
Lemon Balm: Medical Uses
Lemon balm is used as a sleep aid and for nervousness and stomachaches.
Historical Uses
Paracelsus called lemon balm "the elixir of life". Benedictine missionaries first brought lemon balm to the West. Historically, leaves were picked fresh and used as a poultice to reduce inflammation and a cup of lemon balm tea was used to reduce a fever.
Melissa means "honeybee" in Greek. If smeared on hives, lemon balm will attract bees.
Lemon balm is a member of the Lamiaceae family and is native to southern Europe. The plant grows indoors or out, and it prefers moist soil with partial shade. The leaves are lemon scented.
Part Used
• Leaves
Major Chemical Compounds
- • Citral
- • Citonellal
- • Geraniol
- • Flavonoids
- • Quercitin
Lemon Balm: Clinical Uses
Lemon balm is used as a sleep aid and for nervousness and stomachaches. It is used externally for oral herpes. In Europe, lemon balm topical cream is used to treat oral and genital herpes. It is approved by the German Commission E for "nervous sleeping disorders and gastrointestinal complaints".
Mechanism of Action
The actions of lemon balm are unknown. One theory is that lemon balm may make it difficult for the herpes virus to attach to cells.
Lemon Balm: Dosage
Tea: Pour one cup of boiling water over 1 to 2 teaspoons of finely chopped leaves and steep for 5 minutes.
Extract cream (external use): Apply standard Melissa 70:1 extract cream in a thick layer at the first sign of blisters four times a day up to 14 days. Also may be used on a regular basis twice a day to prevent oral herpes.
• None are known.
Pregnancy and Breast-Feeding
Lemon balm is safe if used at recommended dosages.
Summary of Studies
Mohrig & Alken (1996). This double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, two-armed clinical trial included 116 patients; 58 were treated topically with a highly concentrated and fractionated 70:1 extract of Melissa in a cream base (1 percent Melissa extract cream), and 58 were treated with a placebo in a cream base. Patients were treated for herpes simplex 2 to 4 times daily over 5 to 10 days or until the area was healed. Of the 116 patients, 67 had herpes labialis. Results: Statistical differences were seen on day 2 of the study among patients who used Melissa extract compared to those who used the placebo and with patients who started therapy within 4 hours of symptom onset.
Cerny et al. (1999). This double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study included 88 healthy volunteers who did not have insomnia. Subjects took a valerian/lemon balm combination (Songha Night from Switzerland, containing 480 mg valerian dry extract [4.5:1] and 240 mg lemon balm dry extract [5:1]) 30 minutes before bedtime. Results: Improvement in sleep quality without serious side effects.
• If you are pregnant and think that you might have genital herpes, consult your health-care practitioner.
• Lemon balm does not help to prevent the spread of genital herpes in sexually active individuals.
Lemon Balm: Recipes
On a hot summer day, pick fresh lemon balm leaves. Pour 1 cup of hot water over the leaves, let sit for 10 minutes, and strain. Let the liquid cool, add ice and a little honey or turbinado sugar, and you have a refreshing cup of lemonade.

Seychelles is pristinely gorgeous with its green tropical mountains, turquoise blue waters and sparkling white sands. With moderate temperatures prevailing all the year round and a cool sea breeze, Seychelles is always pleasant, warm and humid.
Seychelles has some of world's most beautiful beaches and spending a day relaxing on the beach, or swimming or snorkeling around can be an ideal way to start off with. The tropical mountain forests have quite a few marked trails to explore the island's natural reserve. These forests have a wide variety of flora and fauna that are waiting to be discovered at every nook and corner. The trails may lead you to a mountain peak and give you a different view of the island altogether.
On another day, you can indulge yourself in a dive or surf along or just climb a steep granite boulder if you are an adventure sport enthusiast. A glass bottom boat ride can be quite a stunning experience with a whole marine world opening up to you while you ride your way through. Each island has characteristics of its own and island hopping can be a part of the travel Itinerary.
Exploring nature at its best can never end even if you stay in these islands for years at a stretch. Vallee de Mai which is home to the Coco de Mer trees is another treasure in itself. It all depends upon how much you are willing to explore, how much time you can afford for HER, how much do you love HER.
And as the sun loses its last ray to time, you can sip in a glass of wine and relive the day while a sumptuous Creole dinner is being garnished to perfection or you can groove to reggae at a famous nightclub and try your luck at the roll of a slot. As the music in Katiolo fades away and your footsteps give way to rhythm, you hear a warbler sing. And then a two, and a three, and then the dawn chorus would be, and a new day begins.
Mahe is the largest and the most developed islands on the Seychelles archipelago. It is home to the country's capital, Victoria and 90% of the country's population. Mahe is diverse when it comes to Natural beauty. This island in the east coast of Africa has lush green jungle clad mountains rising from the Indian Ocean surrounded by beautiful pristine beaches and coves and sweeping bays of white powder sand. The island is divided into the East and the West by the Morne Seychellois National Park. The majority of the population is in the east coast between the Sychelles International Airport and the city of Victoria. Though crowded a day's trip to Victoria can be worth the time with visits to the botanical gardens and markets and other sights that grace this city.
Driving along the road that rises over the hills to the west, you will reach the sweeping bay and shallow waters of the wonderful Beau Vallon. From here you can hike up to the stunning Anse Major. On the south of the international airport is a stretch of coastal roads, hidden cloves and stunning beaches starting from Anse Royal. Anse Louis, Anse Soleil, Intendance and Takamaka are some of the most important beaches of Mahe. As you head north, you reach the small village of Port Glaud. Further North lies the protected marine reserve of Port Launay.Morne
The largest in Seychelles with an area of 3045 hectares, Morne Seychellois National Park is named after its highest peak Morne Seychellois (905m). This park is 10 km in length and 2-4 km in width and has a trail network of more than 15km. Excursions can be made on 12 different trails.
The excursions may range between a half day and a full day one depending on the trail you choose. These trails can be most rewarding as the heart of the forest claded mountains can only be reached on foot. It's always worth to take a guide to quickly glance you from the bustling city to the sublime and serene forests. This park opens to you an indigenous world of flora and fauna that make your trails look less tiresome and rewards you at every corner.
Location: Mahe
Known For: The diverse trails that lead you to different peaks through green forest jungles. Hiking and trekking can be great day activities.
How to reach: Bus from Victoria and then on foot

The capital of the Republic of Seychelles and its only city, Victoria is the commercial, economic, cultural and political hub of the country. Guarded by the mountains and the topaz sea, this city boasts of quite a few intriguing sights and can be a more than satisfying worth a day's walk. The city has two main cenres: one around the clock tower and the other around the Sir Selwyn Selwyn Clarke Market. These are the few places you wouldn't like to miss when you are in Victoria.
Arul Mihu Navasakthi Vinayagar temple: A photographer's delight and one of the most admired sites in Victoria, this temple is the abode of the Hindu God Vinaygar and a place of worship for 5000 Hindus living in Victoria.
Bel Air Cemetery: As the legend goes this cemetery has the grave of the mythical person Giant of Bel Air. He was 10 ft tall at the age of 16 and could carry large fishing boats all by himself and lift a bag of rice with one finger. This is the oldest cemetery and the citizens from the first days of Victoria were laid to rest in this place. Located on Bel Air Road, this cemetery is a Seychelles National monument.
Bicentennial Monument: Created by the Italian artist Lorenzo Appiani, this monument commemorates the 200th anniversary of Victoria. It has three pairs of extended white wings that symbolise the origin of the Seychelles population and represents the three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe. It is located in the Freedom square, at the eastern end of Independence Avenue.
Cable and Wireless: The administrative centre of the Cable and Wireless Company, this wooden house marks the place where the country's first telephone connections were made connecting it to Mauritus, Zanzibar and Aden.
Kenwyn House: Next to the Cable and wireless is this building displaying the French Colonial architecture. It has a souvenir shop of South African Jewellery and the art gallery displays Seychellois paintings.
Clock Tower: If you have heard the song "Going back to the Seychelles, where the clock chimes twice" it is here that it is inspired from. This clock tower built in 1903 as a replica of the Vauxhall Bridge clock tower in London. This clock actually chimes twice in an hour instead of once. It is situated at the juncture of the Independence Avenue and Albert Street and is one of the main centres of the Victoria city.
Cathedral of Our Lady of Immaculate Conception: Designed by the Seyhellois architect Gilbert Frichot and sculptor Egbert Marday, this is the largest Catholic church in Seychelles. Around 700 worshipers can pray together in this beautiful church. Brilliant colours glisten through the bright colourful stained glass windows. This church is surrounded by a beautiful garden and one of the most impressive buildings in Seychelles, La Domus. This is a two storey priest house built of granite in 1934.
National Museum of History: This Museum is a part of the National Cultural Centre and archives prehistoric maps, old firearms and governments records that date back to 1770,
National Botanical gardens: Founded by botanist Paul Dupont in 1901, this is a must visit and should definitely be a part of your trip. A brochure is handed over to you at the entrance of this garden which will give you a brief overview of the varied flora species in Seychelles. It has the famous Coco-de-mer trees apart from a comprehensive orchid garden with 150 species of orchids and a total of 500 plants with 40 species of palm trees. The tour ends with an enclosure of the giant Aldabra tortoises.
Seychelles Natural History Museum: The 'Pierre de Possession' or the stone of seizure installed in 1756 as a symbol of the possession of Seychelles by the French Royal family is the most important exhibit here. There is also a 180 million year old granite stone which is a proof of the theory that these islands used to be a part of the Gondwana supercontinent.
St. Paul's Cathedral;-This is the oldest and the largest Anglican Church in Seychelles consecrated in 1859.
Sir Selweyn Selweyn Clarke Market: From Souvenir shops to craft booths to fruits, vegetables, aromatic spices and works of artisans this market was built by a Frenchman by the same name for local farmers and fishermen. Nowadays it is mainly run by merchants but the market has its own charm. You can browse through the shops and enjoy a delightful breakfast at the café while looking down at the market and its colourful hustle bustle.
Beau Vallon is the most popular and one of the longest beaches of Seychelles. It has a wonderful infrastructure and has a host of activities going around it to make it one of the the most sought after places in Mahe. Diving or snorkelling in these clear waters enrich you with the beautiful underwater scenery. Surfing, skiing and similar water sports is also a part of this resort's activities.

Praslin is the second largest island in Seychelles about 45km northeast of Mahe. Praslin is considered as one of the most beautiful destinations in this world. It's practically mesmerising with its white sandy beaches bordered by rows of palm trees, green tropical forests and curving hills dripping down to crystal clear waters. Away from the bustling Mahe and more towards the sleepy La Digue, the Praslin Island is a perfect blend of a small population, a Natural heaven and laid-back feeling. The Praslin Island has the most prolific beaches vizAnse Lazio and AnseGeogetteor the Cote D'Or.These beaches often make it to the list of top ten most beautiful beaches of the world. The Praslin Island is also home to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Vallee de Mai. The Vallee de Mai is famous for its flora and bird life and has the largest growth of the famous Coco-de-Mer trees.
Praslin Island can also be considered to be a great base for trips to the neighbouring Cousine Island, Curieuseor to St.Pierre. There are three main settlements- Baie St. Anne, Grand Anse and Cote D'Or. These settlements are no more than small villages from where you can obtain your daily requirements. The rest of the island is hardly inhabited and gives you a feel of quite out of everything if you like to be alone and away. You can get to Praslin from Mahe in speed ferries or you can fly down to the Praslin Airport which serves as a domestic stop. The ferry is less expensive. Inside Praslin you can easily move around in buses or you can get a bicycle on hire. Car hires or taxis are also available but a little more expensive.
Anse Lazio often referred to as the world's most beautiful beach graces the northwest coast of the island. The perfect white sands stretching over the clear celestial blue waters surrounded by a thick fringe of palm and takamaka trees and granite boulders breaking the monotony will make you feel that it has been built with long precision by the perfect artists together.
Location: Praslin Island
Known for: The pristine beach

General Charles George Gordon of Khartoum was long convinced the Vallee de Mai was the "Garden of Eden". This UNESCO World Heritage site is one of the two places on planet Earth where the Coco-de-Mer trees grow in its natural state. The Coco-de-Mer tree produces the largest seed and palm flower. The tropical forest is the abode of an array of endemic birds like the Seychelles bulbul, the blue pigeon, the Seychelles warbler and the black parrot. There are three hiking trails which lead through this primeval forest. Though it's marked but it's always recommended to take a guide. There is an informative centre, a café and a souvenir shop on site.
Location: Praslin Island
Known for: World Heritage Site
How to reach: By road
Type: World Heritage Site
This is a major tourist attraction for day trips. It is also called the Red Island owing to the red coloured soil on this island. Curieuse is the second place on Earth after Vallee de Mai where the Coco-de-Mer palm trees grow naturally. Curieuse is the breeding ground of giant Aldabra tortoises. A walk through the dense mangrove forests is one of the most enchanting sights past the giant granite cliffs. The Doctor's house is a large restored colonial villa which doubles as the museum on ecology and history of Curieuse Island and can be an added attraction site. The green and hawksbill turtles nest in the beach in front of the Doctor's house.
Location: Northwest of Praslin Island
Known for: Marine reserve, mangrove forest, Aldabra Tortoise.
Type: Marine National Park
A small island two km west of Praslin and the first internationally owned reserve, Cousin Island has been declared as an Important Bird Area and has been attracting ornithologists and bird enthusiasts from around the globe. The Seychelles magpie robin, the Seychelles warbler and the Seychelles fody, mapou, Indian mulberry are birds that can be easily sighted in this island. Dragonflies, moorhens and terrapins thrive in the fresh water wetlands while the wedge tailed shearwaters and bridled terns nest in the hills.

La Digue boasts of some of the best beaches of Seychelles including the Anse Source D'Argent, Grand Anse, Anse Cocos. Though La diguehas some of the most beautiful beaches most of them are not suitable for swimming. The famous ox carts are declining but if you are lucky enough you can sight one and enjoy a ride.

Framing the Local within the Regional: Current Research in the Cusco Region, Peru
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 81st Annual Meeting, Orlando, FL (2016)
Cusco, Peru is best known as the navel of the Inca universe, but it was also home to postglacial high altitude hunter-gatherers, a network of Formative villages, Wari imperial colonies, rivals to early Inca elites, and a major locus of Spanish colonial rule. Coming out of a prolific phase of regional survey programs, the Cusco region has seen an explosion of problem-based excavations and analytical laboratory-based research that cuts across disciplinary lines. These projects are refining our understandings of biological, economic, and sociopolitical development in the region from the Archaic to Colonial periods. This symposium brings together scholars from diverse sociocultural and biological perspectives to explore patterns of change over the short term and longue durée. Papers approach themes such as migration, ties connecting Cusco to the outside world, the development of multiple and changing political agendas, and how local populations navigated all of the above.

The Development of Inequality in Middle Horizon Cusco: Entheogens and Ritual Ceremonies to the Rescue (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only
The Andean and Amazonian regions are home to numerous plants that can be prepared to induce altered states of consciousness. During the pre-Inka period in the Cusco area, evidence from the village of Ak'awillay indicates the consumption of alcohol, coca, and hallucinogens in public ceremonies. Some of the rituals involving entheogens could have corresponded to healing sessions, but the paraphernalia uncovered at the site suggests that most hallucinogens were consumed to communicate with the...
Ecological Variation and Trajectories of Village Settlement in Formative Cusco (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only
Regional surveys to the north and west of Cusco demonstrate that the earliest villages (c. 1000 BC – AD 300) are found across a wide elevation range, and in varying contexts of local ecological diversity. This paper considers the role that local resource variation and subsistence practices might have played in the long-term stability of these early communities. Using data from 131 Formative Period sites registered across a 1200 square kilometer study region, we evaluate the surrounding...
Excavations at Vilcabamba (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only
After the Incas failed to regain control of their capital city from the Spaniards in 1536, many Inca loyalists withdrew into the Vilcabamba region. Over the next 40 years of organized indigenous resistance to Spanish rule, much of the Inca royal court was centered in the town of Vilcabamba and a host of critical events occurred in the region. Despite the important role that the city of Vilcabamba held in the final years of the Inca Empire, there have been few archaeological projects aimed at...
Multiscalar Analysis of an Early Rival to Inca Power (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only
Systematic regional survey research identified Yunkaray as a town at the center of a hierarchical network of villages near Maras, approximately 20 km to the northwest of the Inca capital. A grid of more than 80 intensive collection units established Yunkaray to be larger than 20 hectares, almost all of which was occupied and abandoned during the Late Intermediate Period (c. AD 1000-1400). The scarcity of Inca imperial pottery in surface collections suggested that abandonment occurred during the...
A new look into camelid management in Middle Horizon Cusco (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only
The Middle Horizon (AD 600-1000) brought dramatic changes to the Cusco region, particularly to valleys where Wari colonists settled in this period. Despite debate and research on the issue, our understanding of how Wari people altered local agropastoral arrangements in this zone remains limited. A prior study by the authors suggested that Wari populations maintained camelid flocks in a manner similar to that described for the Inca. Specifically it concluded that animals lived to maturity,...
New perspectives on the identities and ideologies of localized ancient Andean communities through the examination of figurines. (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only
This paper explores the quotidian use of figurines by the inhabitants of the village of Ak'awillay in the Cusco region. Most scholars have defined figurines as political tools used to support state ideologies. This research expands on this effort and focuses on the use of figurines in domestic contexts among non-state societies. The study of figurines from Ak'awillay and comparative data from archaeological and ethnographic contexts suggest that figurines had multiple uses and included ancestor...

Wigan withstood a long spell of pressure to beat Man city 1-0 in FA cup
Wigan Athletic ended 10-man Manchester City's bid for an unprecedented quadruple with a stunning 1-0 FA Cup fifth-round win over Pep Guardiola's side on Monday.
Wigan Athletic stunned the Premier League leaders with a 1-0 win in the fifth round of the FA Cup with Will Grigg as the hero of the night.
City manager Guardiola was left incensed as right-back Fabian Delph was given a straight red card on the stroke of half-time.
Then in the 79th minute Wigan striker Will Grigg, assisted by Callum Elder sent the DW Stadium into raptures with a winner.
It was a match that City did not deserve to lose. They dominated possession with 82 per cent, but then the magic of FA Cup played its trick, with the dominated team shoving the dominant team out of the competition.
And it was a cruel defeat for the expensively assembled City team, worth a combined £714.5 Million to Wigan's squad worth a paltry £11.2 Million.
For Wigan, however, the victory was not a surprise as they seem to have City DNA in FA Cup. They beat City by a goal in the 2013 FA cup final and also beat them 2-1 at the quarter finals in 2014, to book a semi-final with Arsenal.
Expectedly, Guardiola issued a somewhat sarcastic congratulations to the Latics.
'Congratulations to Wigan for the qualification, they had one shot on target,' the City boss told BBC Sport.
'We did absolutely everything, we made a mistake and this kind of game is like a final. OK, we accept the defeat.
'I don't have regrets with the way we played, the performance, the heart. I judge my players on intentions and not results and the intentions were good.
'Wigan won, congratulations to them and now we rest to prepare for the League Cup final.'
City face Arsenal at Wembley on Sunday as they aim to win their first piece of silverware this term.

NBA Draft Lottery: Schedule, odds and the way it works
The NBA Draft Lottery determines the order of choice for the NBA Draft. Here is the way it works:
When is the 2019 NBA Draft Lottery?
The 2019 NBA Draft Lottery will happen on Might 14, 2019 in Chicago.
What groups take part within the Draft Lottery?
The 14 groups that didn't make the postseason are eligible for the Lottery
What's the format for the Draft Lottery?
The NBA Board of Governors authorized adjustments to the lottery system on Sept. 28, 2017 that shall be carried out for the 2019 NBA Draft.
Underneath the revamped format, the NBA Draft Lottery will be sure that the group with the worst report will obtain no worse than the fifth choose. Underneath the pre-2019 system, the group with the worst report would choose no decrease than fourth.
The brand new system will degree the percentages on the high of the NBA Draft Lottery in order that the groups with the three worst regular-season information will every have a 14 p.c likelihood of profitable the lottery. Within the pre-2019 construction, the highest seed had a 25 p.c of profitable the lottery, the second seed had a 19.9 p.c and the third seed had a 15.6 p.c.
The percentages for the remaining contributors within the 14-team lottery shall be decreased regularly after the highest three. For example, the distinction in lottery odds between the primary three seeds (14 p.c) and the fourth seed (12.5 p.c) shall be 1.5 p.c. The distinction between the fourth seed and the fifth seed (10.5 p.c) shall be 2 p.c, and the distinction between the fifth seed and the sixth seed (9 p.c) shall be 1.5 p.c.
After drawings are performed for the primary 4 picks of the NBA Draft, the opposite lottery groups will proceed to select in inverse order of their regular-season report.
What are the percentages for every group within the Draft Lottery?
The adjustments carried out for 2019 will outcome within the following odds for groups beginning with the reverse order of normal season report.
Group > Odds at No. 1 Decide
Group 1 > 14.zero%
Group 2 > 14.zero%
Group three >14.zero%
Group four > 12.5%
Group 5 > 10.5%
Group 6 > 9.zero%
Group 7 > 7.5%
Group eight > 6.zero%
Group 9 > four.5%
Group 10 > three.zero%
Group 11 > 2.zero%
Group 12 > 1.5%
Group 13 > 1.zero%
Group 14 > zero.5%
What about picks 15-60?
The Draft alternatives for the rest of the primary spherical (No. 15-30) and your complete second spherical (No. 30-60), are decided by reverse order of normal season report. Every NBA group will get one choice within the first spherical and one choice within the second spherical.
Who received the NBA Draft Lottery final yr?
The Phoenix Suns received the Lottery in 2018. They'd finally use that choose to pick DeAndre Ayton.
The Phoenix Suns received the 2018 NBA Draft Lottery.
What's the historical past of the NBA Draft Lottery and when was it first used?
The NBA Board of Governors, assembly in Salt Lake Metropolis in June of 1984, voted to undertake a lottery system among the many non playoff groups to find out their order of choice within the first spherical of the NBA Draft starting in 1985.
From 1966 by means of 1984, the groups that completed with the worst information in every convention participated in a coin flip to find out which group would draft first. The remaining groups picked in inverse order of their received misplaced information. Underneath the system adopted previous to the 1985 NBA Draft, the NBA Lottery determines the order of choice for the non playoff groups (or the groups holding their picks by means of trades) for the primary spherical solely. Groups choose in inverse order of their information within the second spherical (or, previous to the draft being decreased to 2 rounds in 1989, in all succeeding rounds).
Underneath a procedural change adopted by the Board of Governors in April of 1986, the Lottery determines the order of choice for the primary three groups solely. The remaining non playoff groups choose in inverse order of their common season information. Due to this fact, the group with the worst report within the league is assured of choosing no worse than fourth, the group with the second worst report no worse than fifth and so forth.
In an additional refinement in October of 1989, the Board of Governors adopted a weighted system starting with the 1990 NBA Draft Lottery, which included 11 groups on account of enlargement. The group with the worst report through the common season obtained 11 possibilities on the high choose (out of a complete of 66), the second worst group acquired 10 possibilities and the group with the perfect report among the many non playoff golf equipment acquired one likelihood.
The Board of Governors authorized a modification of the Lottery system in November of 1993 that, efficient with the 1994 NBA Draft Lottery, elevated the possibilities of the groups with the worst information within the league profitable one of many high three picks within the draft whereas lowering the lottery possibilities of the groups with the perfect information. The brand new system elevated the possibilities of the group with the worst report drawing the primary choose within the draft from 16.7 p.c to 25 p.c, whereas lowering the possibilities of the group with the perfect report amongst lottery groups from 1.5 p.c to zero.5 p.c.Underneath the system, 14 ping pong balls numbered 1 by means of 14 are positioned in a drum. There are 1,001 attainable combos when 4 balls are drawn out of 14, with out regard to their order of choice. Previous to the Lottery, 1,000 combos are assigned to the Lottery groups based mostly on their order of end through the common season. 4 balls are drawn to the highest to find out a four-digit mixture. The group that has been assigned that mixture will obtain the primary choose. The 4 balls are positioned again within the drum and the method is repeated to find out the quantity two and three picks. (Notice: If the one unassigned mixture is drawn, the balls are drawn to the highest once more.)
In October of 1995, the Board of Governors elevated the variety of groups taking part within the Lottery from 11 to 13 to account for the addition of enlargement groups Toronto and Vancouver. Beginning in 1996, the group with the worst report within the Lottery continued to have a 25% likelihood of profitable the primary choose, groups two by means of six have barely fewer possibilities, group seven has the identical variety of possibilities and groups eight by means of 12 have barely extra possibilities. The variety of possibilities for group 13 didn't change.
The 2004 NBA Draft Lottery elevated to 14 groups with the addition of the Charlotte Bobcats. The Bobcats, as a part of their enlargement settlement have been locked into the fourth place within the 2004 Draft and due to this fact didn't have an opportunity to obtain different picks within the Lottery.
In 2017, the NBA Board of Governors authorized adjustments to the NBA Draft Lottery system that shall be carried out as talked about on the high of this text, beginning in 2019.

Baseball palsThis book is about a kid named Jamie. He is a kid that is not popular. He then was elected captain of the baseball team. He then makes himself the pitcher of the baseball team. However, they already have a good pitcher named Paul. Jamie is a bad pitcher and fails. He also kicks Paul off the team and all of the other teammates want him back. When he calls Paul back he returns, plays the game, and wins it all. This book is a great book. It was an old book but I thought it was good. This book was made and illustrated in 1984 by Catherine Christopher. My favorite part was when Paul comes back and wins it all. I did not really get it though because I think they rushed the book. They probably could have made the book bigger than it is. I think that everyone should read this book.
it shows friendship but i think the parts are to long and boring.this is one of matt christopher worst book
This book shows friendship. I think it shows how sports should be played.
