Dear Liz,
I'm dreading going home for the holidays. My friends and family keep announcing their big new job titles on Facebook and LinkedIn while I'm still in the same job I've been in the past couple of years. I hate being asked "What's new at work?" and "What's next?" when I don't have anything impressive to say.
How do I respond to these questions when I don't have good answers? Do I just suffer through it and make next year the year I up my career game?
Embarrassed To Be Asked
Dear Embarrassed To Be Asked,
Oh my dear, sweet soul. I feel for you, and you are in good company. I know how this feels, and I can't tell you how often my clients ask me this exact question - or some version of it like...
"Why is so-and-so from my class a Director while I'm still just an Associate?"
"Can I fib about my title on my LinkedIn profile?"
"Why are other people succeeding so much more / faster than I am?"
One of the benefits of social media is that it shows us what is possible -- it can show us that yes, becoming a Director-level professional as a 28 year-old woman is possible and worth fighting for if you want it.
But of course, the flip side drawback is that it puts us into a constant state of comparison distress.
And sadly, we often fail to see that this comparison is wholly one-dimensional and grounded in a seriously false assumption: that the person with the highest job title or biggest brand name company on their resume is better, happier, or more successful.
It may surprise you, but some of the common refrains I hear from my clients with the highest-level positions at the biggest-name employers include…
"On the outside everything looks perfect, but behind the scenes my life is in shambles."
"I should be happy in my job, but I just don't like what I do."
"I wish I could chuck it all and start a [stationary shop / pop up bakery / freelance consulting company]."
The truth is, job titles are a terrible indicator of our happiness in work and life.
The better indicator is whether your work allows you to live your values.
The moment we recognize this is the moment we free ourselves from the faux rat race of "more is better" and get to start asking ourselves (and our friends and family!) the real, important questions:
How do YOU feel about your work today?
Do you wish for 'more', and if so, more of what?
Do you wish for 'less', and if so, less of what?
What values are you trying to optimize for in your life right now, and how is your work making that easier or harder for you?
What role do you want work to play in your life, and how does that line up with where you are today?
What do you love about your job, and what do you not love?
What's missing, or what could be better (if anything)?
I hope that you ask yourself these questions and find you have nothing to be ashamed of, no matter where you are in your career.
And I hope you learn --
...that you're happy where you are...
...or that there are a few things you want to improve in the new year...
...or that based on your interest in [managing people / making more money / making a greater impact in the world] you do want to transition to a higher level role or a larger company...
...or that based on your interest in [having less stress / more time for family / time off to travel] you perhaps want to transition to a smaller role or a less demanding company.
In short, the only person's definition of success you should be measuring yourself against is your own.
So define what that is for you.
Own it with pride.
And help your friends and family do the same!
Recognize that behind the scenes, even the people who seem like they've 'got it all' may be struggling just as much as you are.
Ask the right questions. Seek the truth behind the filter. Enable yourself and others to feel seen and supported in our journey to achieve our own definitions of success -- and real happiness in work and life.

We are always glad to offer you affordable prices for accounting services because we how important it is to minimise the expenses of your business.
The prices for accounting services depend on the volume and nature of the services offered which are characterised by the following parameters: the number of documents and the procedure for their flow, the sphere of operation and the number of employees, the amount of assets, warehouse accounting, the number of reports and the frequency of their submission not regulated by law.
Our clients can choose from among three options:
1) negotiated monthly or quarterly payment;
2) payment by the hour;
3) payment depending on the number of source documents.
Negotiated monthly or quarterly payment is suitable for businesses with a stable workload. If the workload increases or decreases considerably, a different price can be negotiated.
Payment by the hour is recommended to start-ups with a small volume of documentation and a small number of reports required, for instance, for those undertakings which are not VAT payers and which only submit annual reports to the Commercial Register.
The third option is to determine the workload based on the number of source documents. Source documents include the following: sales and purchase invoices, cheques, banks transfers, credit and debit slips, write-off reports, goods or fixed assets acceptance reports, contracts, documents confirming export or import, business trip reports.
This option is preferable for businesses with unstable patterns of work, for instance seasonal or beginning companies. The price for accounting services directly depends on the number of source documents in one calendar month and, in the case of small business not liable to pay VAT, in one quarter.

A new foreign policy is coming for Barbados, with greater attention being given to Africa.
Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade Senator Maxine McClean announced this morning that she was currently reviewing a draft of that policy.
"The Government of Barbados, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, is actively reviewing our foreign policy as we seek, among other things, to better engage with the continent of Africa and more especially, South Saharan Africa. In fact, I'm currently reviewing the draft of that policy," she disclosed as she delivered the feature address at the official opening of the 15th Annual International Academy Of African Business Development Conference at the Errol Barrow Centre For Creative Imagination, University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus.
The minister observed that while Barbados has had diplomatic ties with African countries since Independence in 1966 and at various multilateral fora, not enough has been done regarding bilateral engagements so far, particularly as they relate to trade and other commercial activities.
"The theme of this conference –– The Development And Sustainability Of African Business: The Role Of The Diaspora –– speaks to the need to address this obvious shortcoming," she said.
"It will, I trust, also move beyond what I describe as common to many academic and indeed political deliberations of this nature – that is, there is often much time taken to discuss, to describe and even diagnose [but] not enough time and thinking typically goes into deciding what must be done."
McClean added that she hoped that at the end of the three-day conference, a clear and time-bound agenda for change would be identified to breathe life into the theme.
"Critical to this of course would be what I would call a framework for cooperation," she added.
Pointing to the African Caribbean Pacific (ACP) grouping, the minister said the consensus is that its future lays in deepening and diversifying relationships among the member-states, and more specifically, among the countries of Africa and the Caribbean. She said she did not believe that engagement at the governmental level could, by itself, achieve the desired benefits. The senator argued that while there must be the political will to create the appropriate enabling environment, it was essential that people, the established business communities, civil society organizations, academics, and labour movements recognize that many opportunities abound, and also demonstrate the will to pursue them.

Mobile tour of Shoshone-Bannock Tribes
by Angela Parker, AICP, CFM,
I was privileged to attend the 2018 Western Planner conference. This year, Western Planner partnered with the Tribal and Indigenous Planners Interest Group of APA. This was the first conference of its kind and was filled with excellent speakers and topics. Participants came from all over the western United States, from counties, cities, states and tribal organizations large and small. We even had attendees from Canada!
My favorite part of the conference was the mobile tour. The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes Transportation Department hosted the tour and led by tribal member and Transportation Director Anthony Broncho. Mr. Broncho has a vast knowledge of the history of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes. We hopped onto two buses operated by the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes Public Transit Program and headed off along paved, gravel and dirt roads, getting an inside glimpse of the workings of the reservation. Mr. Broncho took us to the original site of Fort Hall, now a stone monument and showed us where he used to participate in horse races as a kid, not far from the Fort Hall monument.
I was amazed at the size of the reservation and the variety of tribally-owned and operated industries including cattle and bison ranching; growing and harvesting different crops (like alfalfa and potatoes); and operating a hotel, conference center, and casino.
As part of our tour, we also saw part of the Oregon Trail and went on a hunt for the elusive bison that are part of reservation activities. Our buses took a trip down a dirt road that wound along the Snake River—no luck there. Next, we drove on gravel roads through farmland and up to the top of a hill overlooking the reservation -still no bison.
At the top of the hill, Mr. Broncho shared more history, including the importance of preserving traditional hunting and fishing locations. He also shared information about telecommunications and public safety equipment that is positioned to enhance cell service and better track activity on the reservation. American Indian and Alaska Native tribes have deep historical connections and respect for their lands and traditional practices. It was an honor to tour the reservation, and to learn directly from Transportation Director Broncho about the history of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, and opportunities for continued collaborations with non-tribal partners that honor tribal values and goals. We never did find the elusive bison, but I came away from the tour with a better understanding of the Shoshone-Bannock people, their history and their way of life.
Angela Parker, AICP, CFM, works for Big Horn County in Wyoming. Previously, she served as the Platting Officer with Fairbanks North Star Borough Community Planning in Alaska. She is the president of the Western Planning Resources, INC. Board of Directors.

It's in the Genes II
Last week we took a look at Obama's aunt who lived illegally in Boston for 10 years and receives free housing and monthly disability payments despite paying nada dinero into the system. She thinks the government has an obligation to make immigrants citizens.
This week we'll take a look at the background and political views of another family member, Barack H. Obama, his father. Remember the book written by Barack back in 1995 called Dreams From My Father? Yeah, that guy.
Recently a friend forwarded me an article from Forbes magazine entitled "How Obama Thinks". Here's the link: HOW OBAMA THINKS It's is written by Dinesh D'Souza, a conservative who grew up in India until the age of 17 and has a bit different perspective than most of us. Read it and you'll have a better understanding of what Obama is up to.
D'Souza writes that Barack Sr. was driven by anti-colonialism and overcoming what he saw as the European manipulation of Kenyans and other African nations. From the perspective of an anti-colonialist, the United States has replaced the earlier empires and is on an imperialistic rampage, the sole remaining superpower and unchecked by Russia following the end of the Cold War. In the eyes of D'Souza, the son is on the same mission as the father.
Barack Sr. was born in 1936 near the shores of Lake Victoria in Kenya. When he was 13 years old, his father was jailed by the British for his involvement in the Kenyan independence movement and subjected to torture which caused permanent physical disabilities. From 1952 to 1959 Kenya was under a state of emergency and in 1964 the Republic of Kenya gained its independence.
In 1954, when Barack Sr. was 18 he married his first wife with whom he had two children. In 1959, he received a scholarship offer in economics and flew to America where he enrolled at the University of Hawaii. In 1961 he married junior's mother, graduated, and the following year traveled solo to Massachusetts where he attended Harvard. In 1965 he obtained his masters degree in economics from Harvard and returned to Kenya with yet another woman where he eventually became a senior economist in the Kenyan Ministry of Finance.
In 1965, Barack Sr. published a paper that appeared in the East Africa Journal called Problems Facing Our Socialism. He was unhappy that most everything in Kenya was owned by the Europeans and Asians and sought to change that through redistribution of wealth, public ownership of economic assets, and elimination of private power structures. The apple didn't fall far from the tree. These are all principles we see in Obama's policies today.
You can find his paper online. Here are some excerpts:
1) "Looked at this way, we can avoid economic power concentration and bring standardized use and control of resources through public ownership, let alone the equitable distribution of economic gains that would follow."
2) "Realizing social stickiness and inflexibility and looking at the society's distrust of change, one would see that, if left to the individual, consolidation will take a long time to come. We have to look at priorities in terms of what is good for society and on this basis we may find it necessary to force people to do things they would not do otherwise"
3) "If the government should, however, feel that individual ownership is the best policy to take in order to bring development then it should restrict the size of farms that can be owned by one individual throughout the country and this should apply to everybody from the President to the ordinary man."
4) "But we also need to eliminate power structures that have been built through excessive accumulation so that not only a few individuals shall control a vast magnitude of resources as is the case now."
5) "What is more important is to find means by which we can redistribute our economic gains to the benefit of all and at the same time be able to channel some of these gains to future production."
6) "Theoretically, there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100% of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed."
Sounds a lot like what might come out of the mouth of Marx, Engels or the communist guy in Chicago a few years back named Alinksy. Not exactly words you'd expect to hear from Madison, Jefferson, or Adams, eh? And certainly not something you'd expect to hear from the father of the President of the United States.
So why is something written in 1965 important in 2010? Is it fair to attribute the words of the father to the son? Well then let's return our thoughts to that book that the son wrote 15 years ago. Take note that it's not entitled "Dreams Of My Father" but "Dreams From My Father."
As the Forbes guy puts it: The climax of Obama's narrative is when he goes to Kenya and weeps at his father's grave. It is riveting: "When my tears were finally spent," he writes, "I felt a calmness wash over me. I felt the circle finally close. I realized that who I was, what I cared about, was no longer just a matter of intellect or obligation, no longer a construct of words. I saw that my life in America–the black life, the white life, the sense of abandonment I'd felt as a boy, the frustration and hope I'd witnessed in Chicago–all of it was connected with this small piece of earth an ocean away, connected by more than the accident of a name or the color of my skin. The pain that I felt was my father's pain."
So when Barack Jr. says that he wants to increase taxes on the rich and increase benefits for the poor, when he takes over our industries and implements policy that weakens our currency, when he seeks to weaken our borders and not enforce immigration laws, when he seeks to socialize medicine, and when he seeks to weaken American foreign power, whose dream are we really experiencing?
Seriously, we the people need to immediately hold council to impeach this impostor as leader of our tribe.
Nixon violated our constitution. This guy seeks to destroy it.

In an effort to communicate the vital role that standards play in daily life, ANSI Online News will publish on an ongoing basis a series of snapshots of the diverse standards initiatives undertaken in the global and national standards arena, many of which are performed by ANSI members and ANSI-accredited standards developers. Here are two of the latest selections:
Beach Wear
As summer moves in and temperatures begin to rise, active people will soon be flocking to beaches and pools by the thousands for a little fun in the sun. This kind of activity requires comfortable clothes that are strong enough to handle the effects of sand, wind, and water. To ensure that summer clothes can withstand the rough and tough horseplay of big and little boys, last year the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) approved D4154-01 Standard Performance Specification for Men's and Boy's Knitted and Woven Beachwear and Sports Shirt Fabrics. The standard deals with the durability and performance of the knitted and woven fabrics comprised of textile fibers used in men's and boy's beachwear and sports shirts. Also approved last year by ASTM, an ANSI member and ANSI-accredited standards developer, is D4156-01 Standard Performance Specification for Women's and Girls' Knitted Sportswear Fabric, which specifies the performance standards for fabrics used to make women's and girls sportswear, because big and little girls need comfortable and durable clothes, too.

Nuclear Power Plants
Within the past year, there has been substantial news coverage as well as public debate over concerns dealing with nuclear radiation and the safety of nuclear power plants. For example, many question whether or not the Indian Point Nuclear Facility in New York State should be shut down after a nuclear reactor accident in early 2000 caused hundreds of gallons of radiation-contaminated water to leak into the Hudson River and into the town's local water system. In order to prevent accidents like this from occurring again, the American Society for Mechanical Engineers (ASME), in collaboration with the American Nuclear Society (ANS), both ANSI members and ANSI-accredited standards developers, approved ANSI/ASME RA-S-2002, Probabilistic Risk Assessment for Nuclear Power Plant Applications in April 2002. This new standard sets forth requirements for risk assessment in commercial nuclear power plants and provides a method for applying the requirement for specific applications. The standard uses risk assessment decision-making in order to deal with the design, licensing, procurement, construction, operation, and maintenance of the power plant. In addition, the standard requires and establishes analysis of the internal events of the plant while it is in operation.
This "standards snapshot" was made possible by the steady stream of press information disseminated by standards developing organizations to keep the ANSI Federation abreast of their achievements. As the Institute receives news of published voluntary standards and voluntary standards initiatives with broad appeal and impact, similar articles will be posted to the ANSI Online News page.

Non-drinkers Take More Sick Leaves Than Regular Drinkers
What if I tell you that drinking is not a bad thing? What if I tell you that being a social drinker can actually be a good idea? Shocked, aren't you? This is probably the first article that is actually telling you these things and asking you to drink a moderate amount of alcohol, isn't it? Well, there's a reason behind it. It's not just random talking.
A study conducted by a few researchers has revealed that social drinkers, in fact, take less number of sick leaves than those who do not drink at all. Researchers have found out that people who usually drink moderately as opposed to the ones who are extremists who either drink heavily or those who don't drink at all have the best health than the other people.
They studied the people of UK, Finland, and France and finally reached the conclusion that non-alcoholics, in fact, have a greater risk of taking more number of sick leaves due to various sicknesses and illnesses, such as mental disorders, problems related to their muscles and bones, and illnesses related to their stomach and lungs.
Although, the researchers did make it a point to exclude the people who had stopped drinking due to various health issues that they were facing, which may have been due to the excess amount of drinking. But they did warn that their absence from work could be because of one of the various medical reasons that have been mentioned above.
Dr. Jenni Ervasti, the lead author, from the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health has stated that some of the diseases or the treatment of those diseases prevent alcohol use which could explain the increased risks of sick leaves among people who don't consume alcohol.
She also further explained that people who experience health problems due to excessive alcohol drinking sometimes retire early than normal or even at times become unemployed. This could also be one of the reasons why the rate of alcoholics taking sick leaves is lesser than the people who don't drink alcohol at all.
The senior research associate at University College London, Dr. James Doidge, also said that there are chances that the results given may not even be as accurate as they seem to us. He has also stated that this study has shown that people who are completely away from alcohol skip work more often than the people who usually drink alcohol in moderation.
Further, he also stated that the most obvious explanation for this could be the reverse causality, that is, health problems lead people to drink less than they usually did and it is not the other way around.
The best evidence available with these researchers on the effects of consumption of alcohol is derived from genetic studies which, unfortunately, indicate that consumption of alcohol at any level increases your risk of health problems and may affect your fitness and might make you unfit.
It has also been advised to both men and women to make sure that they should drink lesser than 14 units of alcohol in one week which is estimated to be around six pints of beer or six glasses of wine and not more than that.
This limit should not be exceeded by any chance. If this limit is exceeded by any chance due to any reason, it might lead to your health being affected in an adverse way.
The director of research and policy development at Alcohol Research UK, Dr. James Nicholls has stated that the authors even found out that people who don't drink alcohol at all are more likely to be poor than the ones who drink alcohol, which is an extremely important factor to consider when talking about people falling sick.
However, it doesn't cover the short-term impacts on work, such as absence from work or reduction in productivity at work due to hangovers because of drinking in an excess amount the previous night.
Although the findings do not provide any concrete evidence that drinking alcohol is good for your health, they still do suggest that drinking in a moderate amount is not likely to lead you to skip your work because of any kind of illness.

I was not educated about strength training and didn't know that I needed it until I was injured at work in Australia. Learning from the hard way, I understood the importance of strength training, and I started to add strength training to my lifestyle.
My martial arts journey started back in 2009, Japanese Karate and Jujitsu training made me interested in the bio-mechanics of human body movements, so I decided to study Fitness where I qualified as a Personal Trainer so I could educate more people about strength and conditioning to avoid unnecessary injuries.
Being a PT is the best job in the world! I absolutely love seeing my clients achieving their goals! I have clients that have lost over 30kgs in a year, fitting into the dresses that they could never fit in before! Some client's arthritis symptoms, back, shoulder and neck pain has disappeared. There's no other feeling better than seeing them become happier and fitter version of themselves!
I am so very proud of each client's achievement, no matter how big or small!
I believe that an investment in health and fitness is the best investment, and you can certainly get the best "Return on your investment in YOU"! If you look after your body, your body will look after you!

Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good
According to their Facebook page,[1] Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good "promotes the social justice mission of Pope Francis and the Catholic Church in US politics, media, and culture."
The website is no longer active, but an archived version[2] states that "Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good is a non-partisan non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the fullness of the Catholic social tradition in the public square."
According to an email published by Wikileaks,[3] John Podesta was involved in the founding of the Soros-funded[4] Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good.
Publicly, the group was founded in 2005 by Alexia Kelley and Tom Perriello.
Redefining 'Pro-Life'
An article[5] dated February 29 2012 by David Gibson, of the Religion News Service indicated that Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good published a "nine-page [voter] guide...[which] highlights economic issues as top concerns Catholics should weigh as they consider their vote." According to the article, the Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good "...seeks to expand the concept of "pro-life issues" beyond abortion to also include war, euthanasia and poverty."
- "The guide from Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good takes the words of Pope Benedict XVI's teachings on social justice as its starting point, and from there contrasts the church's social teaching on the common good with the "explicitly anti-Christian teachings" of the Tea Party and like-minded movements.
- "In unusually strong, populist tones, the guide's authors decry efforts to cut government programs for the poor and middle class while protecting tax rates for the "super-rich." They "denounce this new ideology as un-Christian, un-Catholic, and, indeed, as a perversion of America's own best traditions."
- "Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good was founded in 2005 by Tom Perriello, who went on to serve a single term as a Democratic congressman from Virginia. The group is led by Obama supporters like Stephen Schneck, head of the Institute for Policy Research & Catholic Studies at The Catholic University of America, and liberal Catholics like Alfred Rotondaro of the Center for American Progress in Washington.
Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good has been active in promoting illegal immigration to the United States. On July 11, 2007, the "Inland Empire's only Hispanic-owned English language newspaper" "HISPANIC NEWS" ran an article calling for "comprehensive immigration reform" as promoted by the Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good.[6]
Here is an excerpt:
- "The defeat of this legislation will only mean more immigrants dying in the desert, families being torn apart, and workers left without basic protections on the job. Our nation's broken immigration policies continue to abandon millions of hard working immigrants who make vital contributions to our society stranded in the shadows. We call on Congress to renew efforts to pass comprehensive immigration reform and not to drop this critical issue until after the presidential elections."

CarPlay and Android Auto retrofitting on Mercedes-Benz cars
Questa petizione aveva 1.364 sostenitori
We ask that Mercedes-Benz retrofits CarPlay and Android Auto to all compatible vehicles. We want the slogan "The best or nothing" lasts more than one year from the date of purchase.
Today we usually see our hardware products, for instance mobile phones, updated with new software for free. Our expensive cars, instead, are completely abandoned a few months after purchase. These cars are surely candidates for an early devaluation.
CarPlay and Android Auto are the smart and affordable way to keep your car communication software updated for free. When it becomes aged, it's no longer able to communicate properly because lack of recognizing new file formats, voice commands, music streaming protocols etc. It also solves the problem of on-board navigation systems which have old maps after just a couple of months. The maps applications on iOS and Android are instead updated in real time and represent the future of navigation systems.
Adapting new software to old hardware costs some money to invest. This is a cost that we are willing to pay in order not to see our cars become obsolete so quickly. Unfortunately, Mercedes-Benz seems currently much more focused on selling new vehicles rather than support its loyal customers.
The forums are full of disheartened customers who said to have spent 300 ~ 1000 $ to perform an unauthorized upgrade to their communication system in order to enable CarPlay or Android Auto. This expensive upgrades will void the warranty of their cars.
Below is a comparison between two NTG Audio 20 bundled with similar cars of series A Class, B Class, CLA Class or GLA Class:
NTG Audio 20 built as of 2015
NTG Audio 20 built as of 2016
The hardware is the same, but software injected is different because of building date; the second one has CarPlay and Android Auto software inside. Any Mercedes-Benz dealer could performs a firmware upgrade to the car's NTG enabling the requested features by just running Star Diagnostic thru the OBD2 port.

Divide and Conquer
Posted on 25 Oct 2016 @ 3:07am by Captain Harvey Geisler & Lieutenant Commander Terry Walsh & Lieutenant Commander Jayla Kij & Lieutenant Jonathan Kilmartin & Lieutenant Camila Di Pasquale & Lieutenant Joey Geisler & Lieutenant Elizabeth Marion & Lieutenant JG Felix Langston & Lieutenant JG Catherine Cooper
Click Three Times
Location: Various
Timeline: MD 10 || 1400 hours
Harvey didn't need the computer's reminder to notify him that the Black Hawk was nearing the nebula where she'd put in for computer repair. In fact, he'd been watching the clock, counting down the seconds, for the last two hours.
Already he was dressed in his civilian garb with the unloaded Bertha tucked away in the holster. He'd spent all morning practicing with the weapon and walking around the ship, getting used to the non-regulation garments. To say they were uncomfortable was an understatement, and he hoped he'd no longer notice them once they arrived at Razmena. He was also a bit uneasy about making the decision to leave all of the fighter pilots behind with the ship, but it had to be done. After all, the Black Hawk would be unprotected while the computer was down. He needed every able pilot to look after the ship in his absence. Harvey even considered himself expendable in this regard. The needs of the many...
At the computer's reminder, he rose from his seat on the bridge and nodded at Lieutenant Di Pasquale. In that moment, he felt a knot in his stomach as he realized for the first time the gravity of this moment. For the first time since he took command ten months ago that he was relinquishing command of the ship in a moment of crisis. It was an uneasy feeling, one he thought might not pass until he was safely back aboard. "The ship is yours," he told her, "Miss Di Pasquale."
"Aye, Captain," Camila said as she acknowledged that the Black Hawk was now under her command. She thought back to the two short months before when she had came aboard as nothing more than an Assistant Chief of Security and now she was taking command of an entire starship. She didn't get up to change position as it wasn't required, but she took note of the new flood of information that came in her terminal as command was transferred to her. "Good luck, Captain."
"Miss Di Pasquale," Harvey said, stepping close to her and lowering her voice. "If, for some reason, we don't make it... Get this crew home. No matter what."
"Don't talk like that, Sir or I may have to make an official objection to your presence on the away team," Camila said. "You're all coming back in one piece."
Harvey flashed a smirk, admiring the Lieutenant's resolve. Mentally noting that the order still stood, Harvey nodded and moved towards the door. He triggered his subdermal communicator as he left the temporary bridge. "Geisler to Away Team. Report to the Flight Deck."
Dressed in the unusual attire she and the rest of the away team were wearing, Joey made her way toward the Flight Deck. She was still a bit nervous about the entire ordeal, but if anything were to happen, they'd been as prepared for it as they were going to be. At the small of her back, and concealed the her top, the 'Twins' were tucked away safely, ready to be used if absolutely necessary. Hopefully, it didn't come down to that, though. A situation that required weapons wouldn't end well.
She'd toured a great deal of the ship since her arrival, but this was one part of the ship she'd never seen before. Sadly, there wasn't going to be enough time to look around since there was information to be obtained on a space station, and the sooner they got that, the better off the crew on the Cochrane would be. It still bothered the hell out of her... not knowing what those individuals were going through, but they were doing what they could to get them back. It was only a matter of time now, she just didn't know what shape they'd be coming back in, and that was the most nerve wracking of all.
Lieutenant Elizabeth Marion walked into the flight deck in a double-time manner. She had spent the last hour and a half explaining to Lt. Burke how she wanted the core reboot handled, as well as contingency plans just in case something cropped up while it was happening. With everything that had transpired in the last two days, Liz could have counted the hours of sleep she'd gotten on both hands and still had a hand left empty.
She tugged at the vest under her clothing and made some last minute adjustments to the holster she was wearing before arriving at the exterior of the shuttle they would be using. It might not have been her job, per say, to begin the operations preflight, it gave her something to do and kept her mind focused rather than affording her time to give in to her mild exhaustion.
Jayla had spent several minutes examining herself in the mirror, making sure that the knives could not be seen. Not that she was hiding them from her crewmates, but she would rather they not be evident to anyone who might think about attacking them until she needed them. There was something to be said for the element of surprise, after all.
When the call came through, she took one last look and headed to the shuttle bay, satisfied that the knives in their sheathes were invisible under her vest. She nodded a greeting to Corwin and Marion with a nervous grin.
Petty Officer First Class Allen Miller walked on to the Flight Deck. It wasn't his first time down here as he'd been on patrol a few times in here. The place was huge, cavernous almost. There were shuttles and Valkyries all over the place. And the place was buzzing with activity. He could see crew chiefs performing final check on their craft, micro-torpedoes being loaded, and few officers dressed in flight suits. He put his hand on his weapon again. It was still as secure as it had been a few minutes ago. The ancient firearm was difficult to get used to, especially the weight of his hanging at his side. He made his way over to the others and nodded.
"Commander, Lieutenants," he said.
Ensign Shep Hollingsworth and Chief Warrant Gutierrez showed up in their armored civilian clothing and went to take a position near the Captain without being obtrusive, their firearms tucked into hidden holsters.
Ensign Sarah Thatcher walked in dress as the others with her hidden weapon, unlike the others she was carrying a civilian looking portable computer in a battered case. It wasn't obvious it was battle hardened so could be dropped etc and be ok.. On it were resources she could use to aid information gathering, hacking or data reconstruction on the go but not much else besides enough viruses to wipe it if someone looked at it funny. It was carried on a strap across her back. Her hair tied back and under a black baseball cap. She nodded to the other security officers and anyone else who glanced her way before going to stand quietly by the group. She greeted Jayla with a smile as well but moved silently to stand as she wanted for further orders. Internally a little nervous but ready to do her part to protect her shipmates.
Lt. Felix Langston was on the flight deck, overseeing final preparations for the runabout. His eyes were wide open, due to the almost inhuman volume of coffee he drank earlier that morning. He tried to think of how many times he had absentmindedly refilled his mug, but realized he lost count. He was now holding a large container of water, trying as much as he could to balance his system and calm himself down. The truth was, he was about to fly into a potentially hostile area with naught much in the way of backup or hope of rescue. He looked down at the weapon on his holster. It felt strange to have something besides a phaser on his hip, let alone any weapon at all. He hoped that if there were any conflict, his training and cool head would overthrow any feelings of nervousness. He rolled his neck and shoulders in the strange armored civilian garb, consisting of a nondescript black shirt with long sleeves, a pair of black trousers and laced black boots. Over the getup, he wore a black synthetic leather jacket that was starting to get quite warm under the collar. "I don't know how people ever moved in stuff like this," he muttered as he took another sip of water. He saw the crew mates come in one by one and gave them each a wave.
Harvey arrived on the Flight Deck. He spotted the runabout prepped and ready in the middle of the bay, and the crew that assembled outside of it. Before he caught himself doing it, Harvey found himself looking around the flight deck, the bustle of activity of the fighters being prepared to launch. The tired, but dedicated, crewmen ran about, getting everything ready gave him both inspiration and fear. Captain Geisler was determined to return, and if it came down to it, he was willing to sacrifice himself to make it happen. Whatever it takes, he thought.
The Captain ceased his visual inspection and approached the group. "Everyone ready?" he asked them. Looking at Thatcher, he bobbed his head at what she carried. "What is that, Ensign?"
Thatcher came to attention, "A Field laptop Sir. Its hardened so can handle being dropped and even shot at to a point. It's geared for aiding in remote access of other computer based systems with additional programs for facilitating access, reconstructing deleted data, and other areas relating to computer forensics. There's nothing to it to id as Federation Sir. Known as a 'Clean System', will turn into slag if improper codes entered. It's on a chameleon circuit meant to meant make difficult to detect since it hides an an existing system. I also have a couple of the mini cams/audio stake out devices used in undercover work and well stake outs, meant to be unidentifiable." She glanced at Lt. Corwin then back the Captain, wondering if she overstepped. She'd been heading out of her work area in the security office and the cabinet with the items had been there, it was easy to grab and go. She hoped she didn't make a mistake and tried not to look as nervous as she felt at being addressed by the Captain.
Harvey paused, considering the implications of bringing along such a device. "We're looking to make friends, ensign. Not instant enemies. The laptop stays." He looked to the group. "That goes for the rest of you. Mission details have changed. No longer will we have our escorts. We're on our own, with a well-stocked runabout at our disposal. Our mission is to collect information. We have plenty of medicines, booze, and other goods. One wrong move, and our crewmates pay. Everyone goes home, understand?"
"Next time, talk to me or Lieutenant Di Pasquale beforehand. As the Captain said, we're attempting to make friends here. Who knows what they will think upon seeing something like that. If you're carrying anything else that hasn't been approved prior to this moment, it stays," Lieutenant Corwin said. She kept her face a neutral mask hoping he meant what he said about everyone going home. If he attempted what she had a feeling he would, things would go a different route very quickly. No one was going to be left behind. Period.
"Aye Sir. Sorry Sir. Sorry Ma'am." A chargrined Ensign handed her equipment to the bay security officer with request to see it returned to her work area. She had hoped it looked benign enough to be allowed and she really felt it would be useful in info getting, so had given in to a rare impulse. With the proper amount of regret and mentally kicking herself she returned to the group. "Prepared and properly outfitted Sir. Ma'am" She said to the Captain and Lt. Corwin, she said feling the lack of weight on her back as she adjusted the waist length leather jacket.
Jayla's brow furrowed in concern. Would her knives be okay? Suddenly she wasn't sure. Drat it all! If all she'd had to do was medicine, she'd be fine, but throw all these other skills- or lack thereof where she was concerned- into the mix and she was completely unsure of herself. With a sigh, she produced her knives from under her vest. "These are okay, right?" she asked uncertainly.
The Captain couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the doctor. Considering the smiles she constantly wore, and the time that they'd spent together in private, he was surprised at the notion of an armed doctor. Sure, he'd had to carry a phaser, and use one, in the Dominion War, but this wasn't a War. "Looking to add some items to the trading heap?" he asked. "They might fetch a premium getting past a bouncer or an escort."
"I suppose," said Jayla with a shrug as she glanced at the knives with a look that said quite clearly that she didn't want anyone to know how loath she would be to give them up. "If I have to. I throw them, though. It's something I took up in the academy. Like a game. Like darts."
Thatcher looked at the knives, she had under-estimated the number the Doc said she would be carrying. "I guess if she wants to impress bar goers with her throwing skill that would be a way to make friends..." She thought getting over her initial surprise. She said nothing though, feeling a bit embarrassed about earlier. She wondered if the Doc would teach her blade throwing, if they returned..."When we return..." She corrected her thoughts.
Letting the matter of the knives drop, Harvey looked back to the rest of the team. "Mister Langston, are we ready to depart?"
"Aye, Captain," Felix said while slinging a small duffel over his right shoulder. "The Mississippi is loaded up, fueled up, and ready to hit the road."
"Then it's time to go," the Captain said. "Remember, no ranks. We're not in uniform, so I don't want to hear Lieutenant or Ensign or what-have-you. If you don't know names, you've got four hours to figure it out. Let's go." With that, Harvey turned and boarded the Mississippi.
"Aye, Capt...erm...Harvey..." Felix said, catching himself. Well, that's embarrassing, he thought. He shook his head as he boarded the runabout. "Four hours is not gonna make that any less weird."
Aboard the runabout, Harvey clapped a hand on the pilot's shoulder. "Just do your best ... Felix," Harvey said after a moment of hesitation, trying to remember the helmsman's name. "That's all I ask."
"Je vais, mon amie," Felix said with a nod as he made his way to the cockpit and the helm's seat.
Inside the cockpit, Harvey stood in front of the center tactical station. While he could easily take a seat, he figured one of the other crewmen might want to look busy at a console for four hours.
Sarah agreed with Lt. Langstrom..."Felix" She mentally corrected. She knew everyone's name it was just going to be weird using them. She started to head for the open tactical seat out of habit then paused glancing at Lt. Corwin, moving to the side in case she wanted the slot. "Ma'am...um joey? whom do you want at tac?" She asked.
"Shep," Joey answered after Thatcher asked her question.
"For those of you who don't know me, I'm Shep," Hollingsworth said as he headed to the tactical station. "I'm Security and Tactical and I'll be keeping an eye on everyone."
Gutierrez nodded as he went to take a seat. "I"m Ricardo," he said. "I'm also a empath and if anyone here gets in emotional distress, I'll know it. I'll also be keeping my empathy towards the locals to see how they feel about us."
"Ok so intro's.." Thatcher thought and tried to roll with it as she moved aside for Shep, "I'm Sarah my focus is investigations in security but I had a minor in computer operations at the Academy. I am also pretty fair at flying below the radar. I'll have your back while hopefully not being noticed doing so." She smiled politely and as they seemed out of stations went to a side seat to strap in.
"Janell," said the petite Betazoid Warrant Officer as she came into the crowded cockpit. Looking around, she chose to withdraw to one of the rear cargo compartments. Even though the runabout was full, surely she could find a place to sit for a few hours and meditate.
Felix ran through the pre-flight checklist, making sure the Mississippi was ready for its departure. Hearing the conversation behind him, he paused after one item and looked around at those gathered in the cockpit. "I'm Felix," he said, "pleased to meet y'all." He then immediately turned around and went back to getting the runabout ready to lift off.
"Jayla," said Jayla with a twinkling grin that clearly said, 'as if any of you didn't know.' "Okay, so... Shep, Ricardo, Sarah, and... Janell?" she added, pointing to each in turn.
Miller walked in and looked around for a place to sit, or stand for that matter. "Allen," he said. "Security. And it looks pretty full in here." He took a seat next to...Ricardo, he thought. It would be interesting calling all of these officers by their first names. He couldn't wait for this part to be over.
"Joey," the tall brunette stated. She didn't feel the need to be long winded as far as her formal introduction went. As lo g as everyone knew what they needed to call her while on their mission to find information on their people, then everything would be fine.
Marion slipped through the throng of people and took her place at the operations console just opposite the flight control panel where Felix was sitting, bringing up the usual displays she was going to be keeping an eye on while they were in flight.
"Since we're going around the room, I'm Elizabeth, but everyone calls me Liz," the woman said in almost an absentminded fashion while she continued her pre-launch routine.
As everyone was settled, Harvey gave an order to a nearby officer. "Open a channel to the Black Hawk."
Lieutenant Corwin, who thanks to her SAR training was knowledgeable in flying runabouts and shuttlecraft, moved her fingers over one of the consoles. "Channel's open, Captain."
"Mississippi to Black Hawk," Harvey said. "Requesting permission to disembark."
"You are clear for launch, Mississippi" Camila said after checking the sensors before she switched channels. "Commander Walsh, launch the Black Knights."
"You've got it, Ma'am," Terry called back over the comm. He had been sitting in his Valkyrie watching the crew board the Mississippi. When Camila ordered their launch, he immediately disengaged the maglocks in the deck plating of his 'parking spot' and brought the fighter off the deck. He brought it around to bear on the open bay doors and watched as the Mississippi departed.
"Alpha One to Flight Ops, Black Knights departing by two-ship. Requesting green light once the hatch is clear."
The voice from Flight Ops came over the comm channel for the squadron. "Black Knights clear for launch in three...two...one. Happy hunting."
Rocco grinned behind his helmet as he maneuvered his Valkyrie out of the Flight Deck and into open space.
Sat in the cockpit of his Valkyrie, Sunbeam activated his consoles and within seconds the Fighter hurtled into the openness of space.
"Thank you, Black Hawk," Harvey said, trying to mask the guilt in his conscience. "Geisler out. Mister Langston, it's all yours."
"Oui oui, mon amie," Felix said in a slightly accented Cajun dialect. He breathed deeply, entering the commands efficiently and steeling his gaze straight ahead. The Mississippi's engines whined to life as she lifted from her moorings and turned to face the bay doors. With a few more commands, the ship glided forward and exited the Black Hawk. Felix kept the runabout steady as she cleared the Black Hawk's wake.
"Course laid in," Felix said. "Ready, everyone?"
"By your leave, Felix," Harvey said. He could easily give the order, but only the pilot knew when the ship was completely ready.
"All right, then," Felix said as he turned his chair back to the helm console. With a few more button presses, the star field around the ship began to distort and stretch in front of them. "Engaging course to Razmena." The Mississippi accelerated to warp, leaving the relative safety of the Black Hawk behind.
Joey took a deep calming breath and let it slowly. This was it. There was no turning back now... not that she would have to begin with. These were the types of situations she'd spent most of her career in. Situations where things were so tense, said tension could be cut with a knife. It was her hope things would go smoothly, but considering the other side of the field they had no control over meant that she, and everyone else, needed to be ready for anything. For some, that would be easier said than done, but it was the job of Security to help keep everyone safe.

No matter where you go or what you do for a living you will always come across discipline. Now you might be wondering how does discipline relate to sports? Kids don't know when to play and when it's time to get work done and that's okay because kids are supposed to have fun. Sports is the best way to help teach your children some simple discipline skills like getting to practice on time, or not talking while someone else is talking.
Discipline is no fun but that's the point when someone is being disobedient the best way to correct their behaviors is with discipline. You will find the most discipline in sports because sports are all about doing it right. In any sport your kid joins if they're not doing the techniques right they will not succeed, they'll get frustrated, and probably even throw a mini tantrum and so that's where discipline comes in. sometimes in order to be successful you have to risk it for the biscuit, you have to be able to make sacrifices and discipline yourself.
Discipline helps you stay active, organized, have more self-control and stay focused. Those skills don't only apply in your sport they can also come in handy at school, work, and even at home. Once someone knows how to be disciplined they gain respect from others because being strict with yourself is very difficult. If you want to reach your goals, being disciplined with yourself is the way to do it.

Hierarquia Anatômica
Anatomia geral > Sistema circulatório > Artérias > Aorta > Arco aórtico > Artéria subclávia > Artéria axilar > Artéria braquial > Artéria ulnar > Arco palmar superficial
The superficial palmar arch (superficial volar arch; arcus volaris superficialis) is formed by the ulnar artery, and is usually completed by a branch from the a. volaris indicis radialis, but sometimes by the superficial volar or by a branch from the a. princeps pollicis of the radial artery. The arch passes across the palm, describing a curve, with its convexity downward.
Relations.—The superficial volar arch is covered by the skin, the Palmaris brevis, and the palmar aponeurosis. It lies upon the transverse carpal ligament, the Flexor digiti quinti brevis and Opponens digiti quinti, the tendons of the Flexor digitorum sublimis, the Lumbricales, and the divisions of the median and ulnar nerves.
Three Common Palmar Digital Arteries (aa. digitales volares communes) arise from the convexity of the superficial palmar arch and proceed downward on the second, third, and fourth Lumbricales. Each receives the corresponding volar metacarpal artery and then divides into a pair of proper palmar digital arteries (aa. digitales volares propriæ; collateral digital arteries) which run along the contiguous sides of the index, middle, ring, and little fingers, behind the corresponding digital nerves; they anastomose freely in the subcutaneous tissue of the finger tips and by smaller branches near the interphalangeal joints. Each gives off a couple of dorsal branches which anastomose with the dorsal digital arteries, and supply the soft parts on the back of the second and third phalanges, including the matrix of the finger-nail. The proper volar digital artery for medial side of the little finger springs from the ulnar artery under cover of the Palmaris brevis.

where to even start with mariah and chris?
i've known mariah (from the incredible world of the interwebs) for a couple of years now, but i can honestly say that meeting her (and chris!) in person, was so much better than i could have ever expected.
they are newlyweds. they are madly in love, and they have such a beautiful way of looking and holding and touching and just being. my words are failing me but shooting people who trust you and love your work and are comfortable just letting you in to see their vulnerability is so wonderful. i could have shot them for days and days and i cannot wait to get them back in front of my camera - hopefully soon ;)
so, enjoy a handful of my absolute favorites from our sweet time together in the mythical, magical land of joshua tree.
btw, this place is BANANAS. if you ever have the chance, you need to get your little tail there, asap. i am so in love with the west coast and all of it's glory - IN FACT, if you're getting married out there and need a photographer, shoot me a line and let's talk. don't let travel fees scare you ;)

A 30-year-old man who grabbed and pushed a school child on his lunch break has been deferred for good behaviour.
Barry Goudie of Kildonnan House in Prestwick grabbed the 13-year-old by his clothing, pushed him and held him against a wall- causing him to hit his head.
The boy was on his lunch break with friends at the time when the incident occurred on March 27.
Ayr Sheriff Court heard Goudie thought someone had struck his car at Brysons Garage and approached the boy who was laughing.
After holding him against the wall, the court heard Goudie asked the teenager: "Do you still find it funny?"
Goudie's partner then got out the car and "talked sense into him".
Defence Solicitor Penny Galloway told a different version of events.
Mrs Galloway said: "What had happened was my client saw one of the youths grab one of the lads.
"His partner told him to go and find out if he was okay.
"He got out [of the car] and did that but the boy laughed, ran away and began to taunt his partner."
Weighing up the versions of events, Sheriff Ross Macfarlane deferred sentencing for Goudie to be of good behaviour.
The Sheriff said: "He's been out of trouble since 2016 - he's been of good behaviour for two years."
Goudie pled guilty to assaulting the teenager by seizing him by the clothing, pushing him on the body, holding him against a wall and causing him to strike his head against the wall.
He will reappear at a later date.

Discover the key events in 1945 that made this year stand out as one of the most important in history. An authentic newspaper is a wonderful gift idea for anyone interested in history or by this year in particular. Our collection of original newspapers features copies of some of Britain's most trusted news sources including The Times, The Guardian and The Telegraph.
1945 was an incredibly significant year for the whole world. But what happened in 1945 to make this year so important? 1945 saw the official end of World War II, as the Allied and Soviet forces stormed Germany, liberating concentration camps, closing in on Berlin, and initiating the Nazi surrender. Adolf Hitler and his wife of just one day, Eva Braun, commit suicide in the bunker they were hiding in moments before the Soviets could reach them. The final allied leadership conference would take place a while later, and Stalin, Churchill and Truman would meet to discuss the end of World War II and how to proceed at the Potsdam Conference. World War II had ended, but there was a long road ahead to recuperation from the turmoil and destruction it had left in its wake. These 1945 newspaper articles explore what happened during the end of World War II and its aftermath, and paint a clear picture of how it felt to be there at the time.

#EdTech for Emergency Responders and Managers
By Thomas J. Crane
Information SharingResponseSocial Media
Years ago as a police cadet I sat through numerous 8-hour days of classroom training at the academy (struggling to stay awake on 5 or more cups of coffee!) and I can't help but think I would have been much better prepared for the job if I could re-listen to many of the lessons. Let's face it, after graduating from the academy most knowledge about constitutional law and police science quickly fades and on-the-job peer advice (right or wrong) trumps anything learned in the classroom.
A few years later I landed a job with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and my training experience was equally as tiring since I was required to complete several lengthy self-guided online "Independent Study" courses—without an instructor or any peer-to-peer interaction.
Fast forward to 2014. Social and mobile trends are changing the ways people learn. Educational technology—or "#EdTech" for those following the trend on Twitter—has made learning more accessible and interactive. Webinar-based training is one popular type of #EdTech that facilitates synchronous peer-to-peer and student-instructor interaction, while traditional self-guided online training does not. Podcasts (see iTunes U) and video tutorials (see Youtube, SchoolTube, and Vimeo) allow anyone to watch and listen to instruction on a vast array of topics, which can, for example, help the police officer who wants to brush up on constitutional law and police science.
That's not all. Search engines and online peer groups make it easy to discover information and advice authored by field experts. Finally, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and video games make online learning more social, accessible and fun.
So, here's the question: Is your emergency responder or emergency management agency adapting to newer and better ways to train and educate your people?
If the answer is no, then get started! Engage your training audience and analyze their wants and needs. Review your existing training programs to determine what content should be delivered in more social and accessible ways that foster ongoing learning.
Tom is a Project Manager and Training Specialist at G&H International Services, Inc. and he is passionate about improving the learning experiences and outcomes of emergency responders and emergency managers. He manages the G&H Training Center—a social online learning hub—and is the project lead for DHS's First Responders Group Capacity Building Webinar Series (available as iTunes podcasts). Tom has led G&H's initiative to conform to training standards and become accredited as an authorized provider by IACET.

Two words: buttered radishes.
Get ready to fall in love with grain-free eating! Whether you're totally committed to a paleo lifestyle or just curious about the popular diet type, we've rounded up some must-try recipes that might have you kissing grains goodbye for good.
Later today I shall visit the farmers' market. This time, I'll expect to find asparagus so Jackie and I will be ready for
With the warmer weather here to stay, many of us are hankering to spend our time outside -- not at the grocery store or slaving away at the stove.
As the warm weather is upon us, we don't want to spend our time in the kitchen! So why not just turn on your Slow Cooker
The flowers are blooming and it's time to get into a clean eating mindset with spring's fresh flavors and ingredients. We've rounded up some delicious, good-for-you recipes that will help you welcome the milder weather and wake up your taste buds!
My favorite stuffed artichoke recipe is something anyone can make. So artichoke fans, this is your chance to impress the cooks in your family and quite possibly outdo your favorite restaurant's version of stuffed artichokes. Springtime brings with it a wonderful variety of artichokes.
Asparagus is to spring what pumpkin is to fall: it's versatile, delicious, and everywhere. Whether you grill, roast, purée or sauté it, you can never go wrong with this elegant spring vegetable.
It's about time: extended daylight, bike rides and a new crop of fresh produce. What better way to welcome the warmer weather than with some fresh seasonal recipes.
So you've cooked up a huge ham for Easter and don't know what to do with all you have left over! Well not to worry cause
Make your Easter feast unforgettable by ending on a sweet note. From Classic Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting to Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie, these desserts are all serious show-stoppers.
Warmer weather is just around the corner, so it's time to think about lightening up. These five simple recipes will help you swing right into spring!
A lovely dish: lighter in flavor than pasta alla Norma and hence more springlike, but still identifiably Sicilian.
It's over. Winter is long behind us, taking with it the potatoes, rutabagas, turnips and butternut squash we couldn't possibly
Shortcakes are just the beginning.
The slow cooker may go hand in hand with winter -- after all, those hot, hearty meals have been the saving grace at the end
It's spring and asparagus is the star. There are endless ways to prepare this versatile vegetable, but these recipes are all super simple and delicious.
Challenge: Think of one recipe parsley wouldn't make better.
(No not that kind.)

Everyone likes a good deal. Groupon and online retails have built an internet culture around getting the most for your money, and millions purchase products and services daily with the assistance of pricing tools, comparative data, watch lists, and texts alerts when the price hits a low.
Until recently, the solution many employers were pitched when it came to reducing premiums on their group benefits was wellness programs. The principal drawback of these programs is that too often the results take years to have any measurable impact, and most employers would prefer introducing programs into their benefits package that produce more than a handful of success stories.
Thankfully, new online tools are making waves in world of employer health plans. Healthcare Blue Book and Good-Rx are two popular examples of online tools employers and employees can embrace for minimal cost with measurable results.
Healthcare Blue Book allows consumers to shop for healthcare services like X-rays, MRI's and other imaging tests, lab and blood work, surgical procedures, and a host of other services.
Using Blue Book takes minimal instruction. For example, entering the words "Chest MRI" into the search engine and your home zip code will show three levels of provider options: Green, Yellow, and Red.
This simple color coded ranking system (Green providers being the least costly, to Red providers being the most expensive) offers a level of transparency most employers and employees have craved for decades. Costs for services often vary by hundreds, even thousands, of dollars for the same services, depending on provider and location.
Employers can purchase access to Blue Book for their employees for less than $2.00 per-employee a month. Employees can download the app to their smart phones, tablets, laptops or PC's, and access the information from anywhere.
When employees start to see the variances in cost among their local healthcare providers, they are given two valuable insights simultaneously. The first, that they can save themselves substantial out-of-pocket expenses on deductibles and coinsurance; especially if their plan deductible is high, or they have a Health Savings Account. Second, the level of transparency and comparative cost of services between providers is often a revelation for employees who have higher than average plan utilization.
Good-Rx is another site gaining steam among employers. The app costs nothing, and employees can search for the lowest cost on their prescriptions based on their zip code or current location. Here again, the application is simple to use, and can be accessed with just about any modern mobile device.
The beauty of both of these online tools is the low price point. Compared to traditional programs toted by brokers and insurers as pathways to lower plan costs, both Healthcare Blue Book and Good-Rx don't ask employees to engage in behavior they are unaccustomed to, or use tools they are unfamiliar with.
If you have questions about how you can better utilize Healthcare Blue Book or Good-Rx for your employer sponsored health plan, contact Mark today for a free consultation.
