Trading tips for FIFA 15 Ultimate Team / FUT
These are our very basic trading tips for FIFA 15 Ultimate Team / FUT. Whether it's using the web app, console or tablet/phone, this will help get you started on the road to making coins to build your teams and squads for FUT 15. On FIFA 14 we totalled over FIVE MILLIONS COINS profit and that is without the help of using any real money on packs or FIFA points or buying coins from the internet from coin sellers. We have, on our team, a top 100 worldwide trader from FIFA 12, 13 & 14 and he is the one who taught us the methods we use and continue to use today.
Before we get started, it is worth mentioning that if you are an avid FUT player and want to learn our VERY BEST TIPS for Ultimate Team on FIFA 15 then you should take a look at this link (click here). This guide which costs only £2.99 when bought seperately has over 50 pages of trading tips (with diagrams to show you how to do it), chemistry style tips (to get the best suited ones for your players) and much, much more (see below for a full lit of chapters and features of the guide).
Trading tips(basic)
Buying player cards for less
This may sound pretty obvious but it is crucial to making decent profit. The primary thing to do is to pick a popular player who is going to be fairly cheap. Particular traits to look for are: speed, acceleration, strength, agility, ball control and obvious ones for position types. Defenders: strength, jumping, heading. Midfielders: passing, vision, long shots. Strikers: finishing, attack positioning, heading, strength, agility.
We had a lot of success on FIFA 14 with Sturridge and Remy for the BPL and Ibarbo and Balotelli for Serie A. To single out these players, it is far easier since the changes made to FIFA 14. Read below.
On the web app and on console you can search for the players name so this makes it easy to single out a player. To single a player out using the search parameters if you were wanting to narrow it down even further; looking for Robin Van Persie of Man Utd, for example, we search for Premier League, Man Utd and Netherlands for nationality in the striker position. Scroll through maybe 20-30 versions of the same player card so you can get an idea of their market value and what people are bidding on them. If you see a few people placing bids of say 40,000 coins (remember this is just an example) then you want to be scrolling through and placing bids on any versions of RVP or any other player you choose to use. You'll be surprised how many you can find because so many people play the game. If you have the time then adding these players to your watch list and waiting until 30 seconds of the auction remain then this is the best way.
Your best bet is to ignore shiny gold (rare) or black cards (in-form players) to begin with, as these usually go for thousands or even tens of thousands of coins. The IF player cards can reach 100,000 – 5,000,000 which is a long way off for a beginner so find a cheapish player who you think will sell well and be in demand and then focus on them.
How to make FUT coins quickly and easily
Like any marketplace in the world, you can make the most coins on FUT by buying low and selling high. Some users can look for a quick sale so will place a player you know sells for more up for sale for a lower price. If this happens, buy the player, even if you already have one in your squad. Simply place him straight into your transfer list and make a profit. Any profit is good, especially in the early stages of the game when the market is unsettled.
In the very beginning, playing games will help you build your squad. If you play 4 games and do reasonably well in those games (you could lose all 4) you'll still make around 2,000 coins for your efforts. The temptation can be to spend some of your real cash on the game. To start with we found ourselves saying, 'what is £1.99?' or however much the packs were at the time. This can soon add up though and since the game mode has been released into FIFA we haven't spent a single penny and we won't be doing so for FIFA 15 either. On FIFA 14 We made over 5,000,000 coins in trading using the methods in this section but mainly n our guide and this isn't with spending hours and hours in front of the laptop or on the console.
Track your bids
By logging onto the FIFA Ultimate Team web app on your PC or Laptop you can easily keep track of any bids you've placed and you update your squad. This is crucial if you're going to be trading. We do a lot of our bidding on the web app. Our best advice is to wait until 30 seconds remains, place the next highest bid. You will rarely get players watching their bids, especially with the cheaper players so this is the best method we have found and stops you having to use the buy it now prices or getting into bidding wars from 2 minutes to go.
The app for iPhone and Android users is also superb for keeping track of your bids, particularly when you start bidding on players worth in excess of 25k. With the smaller priced players it doesn't really matter too much if you miss a deal as there will be another one along shortly. With the IF players or the more expensive ones deals a more of a rarity so it's crucial you watch the deal right until it expires.
So there you have it, this is literally 1 and a half pages from our guide, there are over 30 more with much more detailed explanations and diagrams of how to use methods to get you making more coins. Honestly, instead of buying FIFA points of coins, spend £2.99 on our FUT guide and you'll save yourself a lot of money and become a great trader to buy the best players for your teams.

The event begins at 11 a.m., is free to the public and will feature dance leaders facilitating workshops in the areas of hip-hop, salsa and merengue and drumming.
Why We Dance is holding free dance classes at the Westfield Neighborhood Council on Tuesday nights at 6:30 in where students will learn a dance to be performed at the event. Hip-hop expert Nick Abreu will be a guest teacher at a class. Some of the clubs Abreu and his crewdanced at were the Roxy and Studio 54. He started a hip-hop/B-boy program which is still ongoing in Pittsburgh, Pa. He worked as a choreographer and appeared in a few videos. He is now working on a documentary about the legendary Funhouse night club.
Abreu started dancing in the late seventies and became active in the club scene in the early eighties and continued to dance until the nineties. He was a dancer with the Funhouse B-Boys, a hip hop dance crew. He danced at the Funhouse and other underground and popular clubs in New York and New Jersey.
"We won many dance contests and did many dance battles," Abreu said. "We wanted to learn the different styles of dance."
James Douglass a self-taught drummer is from Plainfield and is the percussionist at St. James AME church in Newark will be teaching a drum class.

Condé Nast Traveler aviation correspondent Barbara S. Peterson went undercover to see just what it's like to be a Transportation Security Administration screener. Her experiences, related in this article (long but well worth the read), were eye-opening to me in some ways. Though I always try to be polite, if distant, with screeners, I'll try to also understand some of what they're going through now as they bark at us passengers like deranged seals.
While I now feel more sympathy for the individuals hired by TSA to do the screening, I'm even more appalled at the system itself. As Webinar guru Ken Molay, who brought this article to my attention, says, "All the concentration is on slavish adherence to rules rather than any attempt to make processes work better."
He continues, "My favorite quote from the article? Part of the TSA training: 'You must never apologize.' Great."

Signs of coral recovery for the Great Barrier Reef
Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority scientists say baby corals are blooming on the Great Barrier Reef
GBRMPA and Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service have carried out their second inspection of a series of reefs between Townsville and Tully, in the wake of cyclone Yasi.
GBRMPA's Climate Change and Ecosystems Manager Roger Beeden has been heading up the survey and says that the coral bloomings are a positive sign of recovery.
"We are seeing baby corals in some of the shallows and also in some of the deeper areas," he said.
"It is showing that even though it has had multiple impacts in the last few years, it is able to bounce back.
"It has got that natural resilience to recover, provided it doesn't get hit with too many other events."
Mr Beeden says many parts of the reef looked like "moonscapes" when they surveyed after cyclone Yasi.
"Even though coral are animals it was akin to seeing a whole forest knocked down in lots of places," he said.
"That was really, almost heart breaking for many of us to see, and yet two years on we are beginning to see lots of the early signs of recovery."
Mr Beeden says it is not just wind from the cyclones that causes damage to the coral.
"During cyclone Yasi ... there were some monitoring stations that are out on reefs and there was actually mixing in the water down to 200 metres in some places," he said.
"So it was a huge event in terms of moving water around and it is that water movement that caused the damage to about 15 per cent of the Great Barrier Reef."
Mr Beeden says it is good news for fast growing coral, but there are slower growing coral that need more time.
"In the fast growing ones we can begin to see quite good recovery in 5-10 years, but in the really big ones, the kind of huge, great big trees if you like, actually can take decades to centuries to recover," he said.
"What we are seeing now is actually the ones that are 2 or 3 years old, so they are actually the ones that have spawned after cyclone yasi and you can actually visibly see them now on the reef."

Hoagy is at it again
After his own research showed that corals recover rapidly from damage, Hoagy went quiet for a couple of years -- but it looks like he is back at his old stand now. And even his fellow Warmists are predicting a temp rise of less than 4 degrees. And guess where corals thrive best -- in the warmest waters! Hoagy is a crook!
RISING sea temperatures might sound nice for us wanting to go for a warmer dip, but it could kill off the Great Barrier Reef by the end of the century, a scientist claims in a new book.
The coral would have to move 4000km southward over 100 years to survive scientists' worst-case scenario of a 4C degree rise in sea temperatures by 2100, Professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg says.
In his book, Four Degrees of Global Warming: Australia in a Hot World, the University of Queensland reef specialist says the outlook for the reef is bleak.
"In a four-degree world, the Great Barrier Reef will be great no longer. It would bear little resemblance to the reef we know today," he wrote.
"There is little evidence that marine resources like the Great Barrier Reef possess the resilience to withstand the impacts of a dramatically warming world." Even a more conservative 2C temperature rise estimate would likely be too much for the reef to handle, he wrote.
The death of the almost 2300km-long reef would destroy its $6 billion tourism industry as well as other areas like fishing. The book looks at how Australia will adapt to a warmer and drier climate in the next 100 years.
Warmer and more acidic seawater is a knock-on effect of increased atmospheric carbon levels.
Prof Hoegh-Guldberg wrote that sea temperatures rose by 0.5C in the 20th century but the effect is expected to speed up this century.
The result is that coral cannot move fast enough to cooler southern seas or genetically adapt fast enough to stay where they are.
"Unless we dramatically reduce carbon dioxide emissions which are acidifying our oceans and leading to their warming, we will face the destruction of the Great Barrier Reef and serious decline in our marine resources," he wrote.

Coastal developments approved in Qld.
Greenies will all be holding their breath at the moment -- building up to a massive tanty. Note that Gladstone is South of the GBR anyway. There is no reef to speak of offshore from Gladstone
Several massive resource projects have been approved on the Great Barrier Reef coast by the federal government including the dredging and dumping of spoil near the reef and a new coal export terminal.
Environmentalists have hit out at the decision, with the WWF and the Greens saying it further industrialises and threatens the world heritage protected icon. Environmental campaigners Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth and the Australian Marine Conservation Society, dressed as Nemo and turtles, will protest against the approval in Brisbane's CBD on Wednesday.
The projects approved by Environment Minister Greg Hunt late on Tuesday include the dredging of 3 million cubic metres of spoil - which will be dumped in the reef's waters - for the development of three coal export terminals at Abbot Point.
Mr Hunt also approved the building of a new coal terminal at Abbot Point by Indian mining giant Adani.
Approval was also given to a new processing plant for coal seam gas on Curtis Island, which includes 1.4 million cubic metres of dredging at Port Curtis and the mouth of the Calliope River near Gladstone. A pipeline to the plant - being proposed by Arrow Energy - was also approved.
In making the decision Mr Hunt said he had imposed 148 strict environmental conditions on the Abbot Point and Curtis Island developments. They included conditions to ensure the water quality impact from the dumping of dredging spoil was offset.
Mr Hunt said the offsets - which would stop sediments entering the Great Barrier Reef marine park from land sources such as farm runoff - would require an overall gain in water quality.
"It is important to note that each of these sites is already heavily industrialised and that the processes were highly advanced at the change of government," Mr Hunt said.
"The conditions I have put in place for these projects will result in an improvement in water quality and strengthen the Australian government's approach to meeting the challenges confronting the reef."
Water quality is a significant problem for the Great Barrier Reef with increasing pollutants and nutrients resulting in damage to corals, sea grass and other important marine habitats. There is also emerging evidence that poor water quality can encourage populations of a damaging starfish know as crown of thorns that has plagued the reef.
The World Heritage Committee has also been alarmed by increasing development on the reef's coast - with a number of major resource projects approved in recent years - and will consider in 2014 whether it should be placed on an "in danger" list of world heritage sites.
Richard Leck from WWF said Mr Hunt had failed the reef and had turned his back on scientific evidence of the damage dredging would cause.
"Approving a massive amount of sediment to be dumped at a time when the reef's health is so low, it really is against what the science tells us," he said.
Queensland Resources Council chief executive Michael Roche welcomed the decision and said it confirmed that industry could co-exist with the reef.

Mega-pesky! New paper 'unexpectedly' finds CO2 and 'acidification' dramatically IMPROVED fish reproduction in coral reefs
A paper published today in Global Change Biology finds that increased dissolved CO2 and decreased pH [so-called "acidification"] had the completely unexpected result of dramatically increasing reproduction [by 82%] in a coral reef fish. According to the authors, "This study provides the first evidence of the potential effects of ocean acidification on key reproductive attributes of marine fishes and, contrary to expectations, demonstrates an initially stimulatory (hormetic) effect in response to increased pCO2."
Increased CO2 stimulates reproduction in a coral reef fish
Gabrielle M. Miller et al
Ocean acidification is predicted to negatively impact the reproduction of many marine species, either by reducing fertilization success or diverting energy from reproductive effort. While recent studies have demonstrated how ocean acidification will affect larval and juvenile fishes, little is known about how increasing partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) and decreasing pH might affect reproduction in adult fishes. We investigated the effects of near-future levels of pCO2 on the reproductive performance of the cinnamon anemonefish, Amphiprion melanopus, from the Great Barrier Reef, Australia. Breeding pairs were held under three CO2 treatments (Current-day Control (430μatm), Moderate (584μatm) and High (1032μatm)) for a 9-month period that included the summer breeding season. Unexpectedly, increased CO2 dramatically stimulated breeding activity in this species of fish. Over twice as many pairs bred in the Moderate (67% of pairs) and High (55%) compared to the Control (27%) CO2 treatment. Pairs in the High CO2 group produced double the number of clutches per pair and 67% more eggs per clutch compared to the Moderate and Control groups. As a result, reproductive output in the High group was 82% higher than the Control group and 50% higher than the Moderate group. Despite the increase in reproductive activity, there was no difference in adult body condition between the three treatment groups. There was no significant difference in hatchling length between the treatment groups, but larvae from the High CO2 group had smaller yolks than Controls. This study provides the first evidence of the potential effects of ocean acidification on key reproductive attributes of marine fishes and, contrary to expectations, demonstrates an initially stimulatory (hormetic) effect in response to increased pCO2. However, any long-term consequences of increased reproductive effort on individuals or populations remains to be determined.

Woe! Australia has not "reported" to that great heap of corruption that is the United Nations
Just Greenies at work trying to impose their anti-human values on everyone else. To them, no proof is needed that human activity is harming the reef. That is just axiomatic to them -- they just want to stop everything. There's no such thing as a happy Greenie
THE Great Barrier Reef is set to be named as a World Heritage Site in danger by UNESCO next month.
A long-awaited assessment of the reef by UNESCO and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), released on Friday evening, says decisive action must be taken to avoid a listing in June.
The report claims the federal and Queensland governments have failed to improve water quality or halt coastal developments that could impact the reef.
Only one annual water quality report card has been published, in 2011, which covered 2009. A second report card was due in early 2012, but it's yet to be delivered.
The report also says there's been no clear commitment by the either federal or Queensland governments to limit port developments near the reef. Instead about 43 proposals are under assessment.
"The above-mentioned issues represent a potential danger to the outstanding universal value of the property," the report said.
"The World Heritage Centre and IUCN ... recommend that the committee consider the Great Barrier Reef for inscription on the list of World Heritage in Danger ... in absence of a firm and demonstrable commitment on these priority issues."
Prime Minister Julia Gillard said the Federal Government was committed to keeping the reef a great heritage area for the world.
"In the last couple of weeks I announced a $200 million reef rescue commitment," she told reporters in Melbourne. "We are very committed and we'll continue to pursue those kind of commitments in the future."
But Greens Senator Larissa Waters called on Liberal and Labor to support a Senate bill which would adopt the World Heritage Committee's recommendations as law.
"The Newman and Gillard governments have continued to fast-track mega industrial ports alongside the reef," she said. "Protecting the Great Barrier Reef must be beyond politics and all parties should support my bill."
World Wildlife Fund spokesman Richard Leck said UNESCO had put Australia in the sin bin. "We will likely see a reef showdown this June," he told AAP.
The only other world heritage sites in danger that aren't in a developing country or an active war zone are the UK's Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City and Florida's Everglades.

Scientists find heat-tolerant coral reefs that may resist climate change
Amid all the flim-flam below there is only one solid fact: Corals can survive higher temperatures -- as has often been shown elsewhere
Experts say that more than half of the world's coral reefs could disappear in the next 50 years, in large part because of higher ocean temperatures caused by climate change. But now Stanford University scientists have found evidence that some coral reefs are adapting and may actually survive global warming.
"Corals are certainly threatened by environmental change, but this research has really sparked the notion that corals may be tougher than we thought," said Stephen Palumbi, a professor of biology and a senior fellow at Stanford's Woods Institute for the Environment.
Palumbi and his Stanford colleagues began studying the resiliency of coral reefs in the Pacific Ocean in 2006 with the support of a Woods Institute Environmental Venture Project grant. The project has expanded and is now being funded by Conservation International and the Bio-X program at Stanford.
"The most exciting thing was discovering live, healthy corals on reefs already as hot as the ocean is likely to get 100 years from now," said Palumbi, director of Stanford's Hopkins Marine Station. "How do they do that?"
Coral reefs form the basis for thriving, healthy ecosystems throughout the tropics. They provide homes and nourishment for thousands of species, including massive schools of fish, which in turn feed millions of people across the globe.
Corals rely on partnerships with tiny, single-celled algae called zooxanthellae. The corals provide the algae a home, and, in turn, the algae provide nourishment, forming a symbiotic relationship. But when rising temperatures stress the algae, they stop producing food, and the corals spit them out. Without their algae symbionts, the reefs die and turn stark white, an event referred to as "coral bleaching."
During particularly warm years, bleaching has accounted for the deaths of large numbers of corals. In the Caribbean in 2005, a heat surge caused more than 50 percent of corals to bleach, and many still have not recovered, according to the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network, an international collaboration of government officials, policymakers and marine scientists, including Palumbi.
Havens of healthy reefs
In recent years, scientists discovered that some corals resist bleaching by hosting types of algae that can handle the heat, while others swap out the heat-stressed algae for tougher, heat-resistant strains. Palumbi's team set out to investigate how widely dispersed these heat-tolerant coral reefs are across the globe and to learn more about the biological processes that allow them to adapt to higher temperatures.
In 2006, Palumbi and graduate student Tom Oliver, now a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford, traveled to Ofu Island in American Samoa. Ofu, a tropical coral reef marine reserve, has remained healthy despite gradually warming waters.
The island offered the perfect laboratory setting, Oliver said, with numerous corals hosting the most common heat-sensitive and heat-resistant algae symbionts. Ofu also has pools of varying temperatures that allowed the research team to test under what conditions the symbionts formed associations with corals.
In cooler lagoons, Oliver found only a handful of corals that host heat-resistant algae exclusively. But in hotter pools, he observed a direct increase in the proportion of heat-resistant symbionts, suggesting that some corals had swapped out the heat-sensitive algae for more robust types. These results, combined with regional data from other sites in the tropical Pacific, were published in the journal Marine Ecology Progress Series in March 2009.
Global pattern
To see if this pattern exists on a global scale, the researchers turned to Kevin Arrigo, an associate professor of environmental Earth system science at Stanford and an expert on remote satellite sensing of marine microalgae. Arrigo gathered worldwide oceanographic data on a variety of environmental variables, including ocean acidity, the frequency of weather events and sea-surface temperature.
Oliver then compiled dozens of coral reef studies from across the tropics and compared them to Arrigo's environmental data. The results revealed the same pattern: In regions where annual maximum ocean temperatures were above 84 to 88 degrees Fahrenheit (29 to 31 degrees Celsius), corals were avoiding bleaching by hosting higher proportions of the heat-resistant symbionts.
Most corals bleach when temperatures rise 1.8 F (1 C) above the long-term normal highs. But heat-tolerant symbionts might allow a reef to handle temperatures up to 2.6 F (1.5 C) beyond the bleaching threshold. That might be enough to help get them through the end of the century, Oliver said, depending on the severity of global warming.
A 2007 report by the United Nations International Panel on Climate Change concluded that the average surface temperature of the Earth is likely to increase 3.6 to 8.1 F (2 to 4.5 C) by 2100. In this scenario, the symbiont switch alone may not be enough to help corals survive through the end of the century. But with the help of other adaptive mechanisms, including natural selection for heat-tolerant corals, there is still hope, Oliver said.
"These findings show that, given enough time, many corals can match hotter environments by hosting heat-resistant symbionts," he explained. "While hopeful, the work also suggests that modern environments are changing so rapidly that corals may not be able to keep up. It comes down to a calculation of the rates of environmental change versus the rates of adaptation."
Heat-resistant corals also turn out to be more tolerant of increases in ocean acidity, which occurs when the ocean absorbs excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere--another potential threat to coral reefs. This finding suggests that corals worldwide are adapting to increases in acidity as well as heat, Oliver said, and that across the tropics, corals with the ability to switch symbionts will do so to survive.
Future protection
The problem of coral bleaching comes down to a collapse of the algae at the cellular level, Oliver explained. But the molecular biology of corals and their zooxanthellae under stress is shockingly understudied, he added.
To examine the corals and their symbionts at the molecular level, the researchers are collaborating with John Pringle, a professor of genetics at Stanford. Pringle and his lab have set up tanks where anemones, corals and their algae are exposed to a variety of treatments, including changes in temperature, acidity and light. That research is ongoing.
"What I hope is that we will learn some really deep and interesting things about the cellular and genetic mechanisms that allow this symbiosis to function, and about the mechanisms that come into play when the symbiosis is breaking down under stress," Pringle said. "The longer-range hope is that having that understanding will contribute to efforts in coral conservation."
The ultimate goal is to find protein biomarkers that indicate signs of heat stress and potential heat resistance, Oliver explained. Then coral reef managers could go to a reef, take small coral samples and test for the presence of the biomarkers to see how resilient the reef will be to higher temperatures.
"With this tool, managers could identify existing populations that may be more resistant to climate change and potentially prioritize their protection from everything else that kills coral reefs, like fishing and [agricultural] runoff," Oliver said.
"Although we are doing things to the planet we have never done before, it's hard to imagine that these corals, which have existed for a quarter of a billion years, only have 50 years left," Palumbi said. "And part of our job might be to figure out where the tougher ones live and protect those places."

NPR visits a Warmist experiment in Australia
And the experiment makes it look like coral reefs will be in trouble if the much-foretold global warming ever arrives. Would Warmists ever get any other result?
In real-life, however, corals survive well in a whole range of temperatures. Australia's Great Barrier reef stretches over 1600 miles roughly North to South, including temperate zones and near-equatorial zones. It is one vast natural experiment on the effect of temperature variation on coral growth. And guess where in those 1600 miles corals grow best? The warmest part!
So the Warmists on the reef fiddle around with fishtanks and ignore the reality out the window. What a joke! But reality never has suited the Green/Left
Scientists have been worried about coral reefs for years, since realizing that rising temperatures and rising ocean acidity are hard on organisms that build their skeletons from calcium carbonate. Researchers on Australia's Great Barrier Reef are conducting an experiment that demonstrates just how much corals could suffer in the coming decades.
As we burn fossil fuels - we're talking about oil, gas and coal - carbon dioxide builds up in the atmosphere. Now, there are debates about how quickly that is changing the global climate, but there is no question that billions of tons of carbon dioxide have soaked into the ocean. That's making waters more acidic, which puts some ocean ecosystems at risk, particularly coral reefs. We sent NPR science correspondent Richard Harris to Australia's Great Barrier Reef to look into these consequences. His first stop was a research station on Heron Island.
RICHARD HARRIS, BYLINE: Heron Island is surrounded by a reef that is home to sea turtles, sharks, rays, brilliantly colored fish, and hundreds of other species. The spectacular scenery draws snorkelers from around the world. The island also hosts one of the world's major coral reef labs, run by the University of Queensland, and research there shows that the reefs are in trouble. Scientist Sophie Dove plunges her arms into a tank the size of a kettle drum.
SOPHIE DOVE: OK. We'll start with the plates. Uh-huh.
HARRIS: She and research assistant Annamieke van den Heuvel are weighing chunks of coral.
ANNAMIEKE VAN DEN HEUVEL: Two hundred and forty-six point nine.
DOVE: Do you want to just check the zero when I take this away?
HARRIS: Dove has recreated a simplified version of the coral ecosystem in a dozen large tanks.
DOVE: And so in each tank here we basically - I can lift up the lid - this is one of our - this is our present-day tank, if you like.
HARRIS: The water temperature and the carbon dioxide levels match the conditions on the present-day reef.
DOVE: We've got little mushroom corals, fungia, brain corals, stylophera pistolata there. It's a very common coral around the world. We've got these corals that look like bunches of flowers. They're called lobophelia.
HARRIS: The corals in this tank look healthy. And as she weighs them, she seems that they've been growing since she transplanted them here nearly a year ago. Then she opens the next tank.
DOVE: We'll hop from present day, and the next one along here is the worst of the future with a thing we call business as usual or do nothing tank.
HARRIS: Dove is pumping much warmer water with lots of added carbon dioxide into this tank. This is what the world's oceans are likely to look like later in this century when the schoolchildren visiting this island today reach middle age.
DOVE: And as you look into here, it looks quite different, as you will see.
HARRIS: Oh yeah.
DOVE: OK. So there's lot of this slimy, yucky mess(ph) of cynobacteria.
HARRIS: Clumps of black gunk swirl along the surface of the tank.
DOVE: We find that cynobacterial (unintelligible) tend to do really well in the future. The slippery slope to slime seems to be the way to go.
HARRIS: Not so for the coral. Most of it has either died or turned white, which means the organisms that live inside the coral have moved out.
DOVE: So as you see, the future is not a great place. Here's - the needle(ph) coral is underneath here. It's gone. And there's really not very much left alive.
HARRIS: In all there are four sets of tanks here: the healthiest coral are in a tank that simulates pre-industrial conditions. The present day tank looks almost as good, but the coral looks progressively worse in tanks with increasing carbon dioxide and temperature.
DOVE: We can make this a little bit (unintelligible)...
HARRIS: Now, plenty of small-scale experiments in the lab have shown that corals suffer in hotter waters and in more acidic conditions. This experiment puts those two threats together, since that's what the reefs of the future will face. Dove tries to be dispassionate about her findings, but the site touches the human chord.
DOVE: I feel pretty sad when I look into this. You know, I look at the others, the control tank, and I think, well, that would be nice if we could at least stay like that.
HARRIS: But doing so would mean civilization would have to stop burning fossil fuels immediately. That's not going to happen. Instead, once the carbon dioxide concentrations get high enough in the ocean, the stony structure of the reef actually starts to dissolve. That's bad news for the vibrant life that lives on the reef.
DOVE: There's no reef building going on here. It's reef dismantling that's going on here. Maybe some fish can survive in this type of environment, but I think we're going to lose a lot of the fish capabilities, you know, for fishing and everything. So people who are trying to live off what the reef offers them, this is going to be much harder. From a tourist's point of view, I don't imagine this is something that tourists would feel that attracted to come and see.
HARRIS: And as the reefs erode, they will offer less protection from the storm surges generated by the typhoons that sweep ashore here in Australia and throughout the South Pacific.
ANDREAS ANDERSON: Millions of humans are dependent on the reefs today.
HARRIS: Andreas Anderson is a reef scientist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego. He says increasing ocean acidity is a big threat to the millions of people who depend on the fish that in turn depend on the reef. He says experiments like the one on Heron Island suggest the reefs face bad times ahead later in this century, but the weakness of studies like this is that they change conditions for the corals in one sudden shock.
ANDERSON: So what we don't really understand is, you know, how quickly will this happen, to what extent will it happen. Will organisms be able to acclimatize or adapt to this over a longer time scale?
HARRIS: The best case is that the change will be slow.
ANDERSON: If it breaks down very rapidly, we are definitely in big problems. But if it takes thousands of years, then, you know, perhaps it's not so bad.
HARRIS: Sophie Dove knows no experiment is perfect, but hers is designed to look for hints that corals can adapt to their new circumstances, and she doesn't see any sign of that. We will have more definitive answers soon enough because this experiment isn't simply confined to tanks at research stations - it's playing out on every coral reef in the world.

The reef that regenerated: Researchers find corals in Northern Australia healed themselves in just 12 years
Greenies are always talking about things that they think will "damage" reefs but reefs turn out to be pretty good at looking after themselves
A coral reef in Northern Australia severely damaged by warming seas has managed to completely heal itself in just 12 years, stunned researchers have found.
The team found that being left alone to breed on its own was key.
The discovery raises hope that other damaged reefs could 'regenerate'.
The new research shows that an isolated reef off the northwest coast of Australia that was severely damaged by a period of warming in 1998.
It was hit by coral bleaching, caused by higher water temperatures that break down the coral's symbiotic relationship with algae that provide food for coral growth.
However, the team found Scott reef has regenerated in a very short time to become nearly as healthy as it was before.
What surprises scientists, though, is that the reef regenerated by itself, found a study published Thursday in the journal Science.
James Gilmour and colleagues studied the Scott system of reefs on the edge of Western Australia's continental shelf, which lost 70 to 90 percent of its corals to a climate-induced bleaching event back in 1998.
The researchers found that, although the corals' reproductive abilities were reduced by the bleaching, coral cover still increased from 9 percent to 44 percent across the entire system in just 12 years.
The team say the finding is surprising because researchers have assumed that recovery from such bleaching events depends upon the delivery of larvae from other, nearby reef systems.
But, the Scott system of reefs is located 155 miles (250 kilometers) from the mainland or any other reefs.
So, Gilmour and his team suggest that herbivorous fish, which remained abundant in the undisturbed Scott system, even after the bleaching, kept microalgae in check and allowed coralline algae to thrive.
This set of conditions in turn provided a suitable substratum upon which young corals could establish and grow., they claim.
The study suggests that reef systems can recover using local sources of larvae, especially when fish are plentiful and human activities, which have been shown to slow coral recovery in the past, are limited.
At first, the reef grew slowly, mostly through the enlargement of existing coral colonies. But to really recover, the coral needs to sexually reproduce, creating sperm and egg that form embryos that then land on the ocean floor and grow into adult corals, if all goes well.
These larvae can survive for hundreds of miles, swept along by ocean currents, and colonize new areas under the right circumstances.
Larvae floating in from other reefs could have helped the reef, had it not been so isolated.
But amazingly, after about six years, the surviving corals matured and began to reproduce, creating even more new colonies than before the bleaching. 'They recovered, and the larvae they produced settled and survived, at much higher rates than is often reported,' Gilmour said. By 2012, the reef was basically back to its old self.

Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior in Brisbane ahead of Great Barrier Reef campaign
The "threat" posed by coal mining is entirely imaginary. Coal has been mined for decades with no link to the reef established. Greenpeace just like mucking around in boats
THE new Rainbow Warrior docked in Brisbane's today, for the first time in 30 years, as Greenpeace prepares to launch its Queensland tour.
Berthed at Portside Wharf, the ship will be open to the public for tours later this week, as the environmental group readies for a new Great Barrier Reef campaign.
Greenpeace CEO David Ritter said its arrival has come at an important time as coal expansion threatens to destroy Queensland's reef and waterways. "If we want to stop coal barons destroying the Great Barrier Reef and all the jobs associated with it, we need to act now," he said.
Mr Ritter invited Federal Environment Minister Tony Burke and Premier Campbell Newman to come aboard and discuss concerns for the sustainability of the reef. "We are down here on the boat if Campbell Newman or Tony Burke would like to come down for a chat," he said. "They need to know it is simply not okay to destroy and industrialise the Great Barrier Reef."
Greenpeace has expressed anger at the Queensland government's support of a revised expansion of the controversial New Acland coal mine in the state's southwest, after previously announcing the mine's third stage would not go ahead.
But despite renewed plans for coal expansion, Mr Ritter said it was never too late for action. "I can't look my children in the eyes and say it's too late," he said.
"It's never too late. The decision is in the state and federal government's hands to say it's not too late to save the world, it's not too late to act."
Mr Ritter was tight lipped about plans to actively stop coal expansion in North Queensland but did not rule out any direct action as long as it was done so peacefully.
"Greenpeace always tries to directly prevent environmental harm. We don't shy away from that, but it is always done peacefully. It's hard wired into our team, peace is in our name," he said.
The Queensland campaign will kick off in Townsville on Friday when they rally support among local community members to put a stop to coal mining.

CO2 in oceans no threat to corals
Many marine organisms need CO2 to make their coral skeletons, carbonate shells and so on. Corals also have symbiotic plants within their flesh that use CO2 in photosynthesis.
Marine life flourishes where CO2 is abundant. Professor Walter Stark wrote about a favourite place for scuba divers, the 'Bubble Bath' near Dobu Island, Papua New Guinea. Here CO2 of volcanic origin is bubbling visibly through the water so that the water is saturated with CO2. Abundant life flourishes to make the spot a spectacular diver's delight. He reported many accurate measurements of pH in the area and concluded "It seems that coral reefs are thriving at pH levels well below the most alarming projections for 2100."
One of the factors affecting ocean pH is photosynthesis by plants. Experimental results show that plants grow better if CO2 is increased, and greenhouse managers commonly increase the CO2 artificially to increase crops, often by 30% or more. There is every reason to suppose that marine plants also thrive if CO2 is increased. There is also experimental evidence that carbonate secreting animals thrive in higher CO2. Herfort and colleagues concluded that the likely result of human emissions of CO2 would be an increase in oceanic CO2 that could stimulate photosynthesis and calcification in a wide variety of corals.
Marine life, including that part that fixes CO2 as the carbonate in limestones such as coral reefs, evolved on an Earth with CO2 levels many times higher than those of today, as reported by Berner and Kothaval. It may be true to say that today's marine life is getting by in a CO2-deprived environment.
Tuvalu has long been 'hot news' as the favourite island to be doomed by sea level rise driven by global warming, allegedly caused in turn by anthropogenic carbon dioxide. But if a coral island is sinking slowly (or relative sea level rising slowly) the growth of coral can keep up with it. In the right circumstances some corals can grow over 2 cm in a year, but growth rate depends on many factors. Coral islands, made of living things, are not static dip-sticks against which sea level can be measured. We have to consider coral growth, erosion, transport and deposition of sediment and many other aspects of coral island evolution – not just the pH of seawater.

These corals would find global warming a snack
Hoagy and his friends screech about a 2 degree temperature rise killing off Australia's coral reefs. In the Persian gulf, however an extra 8 degrees doesn't bother corals. And the Warmists below admit their confusion
We tend to associate coral reefs with tropical seas of around 28 degrees, where even slight warming can have devastating effects on corals. But in the Arabian/Persian Gulf, corals survive seawater temperatures of up to 36 degrees Celsius every summer, heat levels that would kill corals elsewhere.
In their study, the NOCS team worked closely with NYUAD researchers to select and characterise model corals from the Arabian/Persian Gulf, which will facilitate future molecular-scale investigations into why they can tolerate heat stress.
"We have established successful laboratory cultures of Gulf corals," said Dr Jörg Wiedenmann, Head of the Coral Reef Laboratory and Senior Lecturer at University of Southampton Ocean and Earth Science, both of which are based at NOCS. "This will greatly accelerate the progress of unravelling the mechanisms that underlie their surprising heat resistance."
Reefs are made up of many species of coral, each of which have a mutually beneficial, or "symbiotic", relationship with algae living in their tissue. These algae supply vital nutrition to the host but are sensitive to environmental changes including increases in seawater temperature.
Even a temperature rise of just one degree Celsius can harm the symbiotic algae, which in turn can increase mortality in corals. The associated loss of symbiotic algae is known as "coral bleaching" because the white skeletons of the corals become visible through the tissue depleted from the algal pigments.
"In Gulf corals, both the coral host and the associated algal partners need to withstand the high seawater temperatures," said Dr Wiedenmann who led the study.
But the scientists were surprised to discover that the algae in Gulf corals belong to a group not known for its thermal tolerance.
"We see that the algae are indeed special but in a way that we did not expect," said Dr Wiedenmann. "The algae that we found in most of the corals in Abu Dhabi reefs were previously described as a 'generalist strain' that is usually not found in corals exposed to high levels of heat stress."
"The system seems to be more complex than it is commonly thought but now we are in an excellent position to tackle these important questions."
The Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) has recently granted funding to Dr Wiedenmann and the Coral Reef Laboratory, so that the team can do just that. The researchers will build on their previous findings and use their model corals to investigate the molecular mechanisms that allow corals to thrive at extreme temperatures.

The usual Greenie exploitation of Australia's Barrier Reef
The GBR has been "threatened" as far back as I remember and I am in my 70th year. No evidence is needed: Just a shriek
THE Great Barrier Reef could be stripped of its world heritage status within months if action isn't taken to better protect the natural icon from coal and gas developments, environment groups say.
A coalition of green groups today launched the Fight for the Reef campaign in Canberra, warning state and federal politicians were putting the reef's international reputation at risk.
Last year UNESCO was "sufficiently concerned" enough by proposed developments along the Queensland coast it sent a mission to Australia to investigate, the campaign's director Felicity Wishart said.
It made a number of recommendations to the commonwealth and Queensland governments about how to proceed in the best interests of the reef.
The global heritage body could place the reef - the world's longest coral reef system - on the "world heritage in danger" list if it doesn't receive an adequate response by February.
Ms Wishart said such action would be an international embarrassment that threatened both the reef ecosystem and the $6 billion tourism industry it supports.
"The reef has an international reputation, it is loved globally," she said.
"That's a really alarming international black mark that we could be tracking towards if we don't lift our game."
She said the campaign, formed by the Australian Marine Conservation Society and the World Wildlife Fund, had written to all the major parties in a bid to get the reef on the 2013 election agenda.
At the centre of their concerns are 45 major industrial developments proposed for the coast, including large-scale coal and gas projects that would boost shipping over the reef.
Currently, around 4000 ships make "port calls" through the reef every year, but that number could skyrocket to 7000 if the proposals go ahead unchallenged, the campaign group warns.
The main concern is that the government, which has a "proud track record" of defending the reef, wasn't now taking this issue seriously, Ms Wishart said.
"We're calling on all sides of politics to step up and commit to greater protection for what is the most significant natural icon that Australia has," she said.
"This is something that has to be beyond politics."
The Great Barrier Reef was granted world heritage status in 1981, but has since faced numerous threats from coral bleaching to cyclones, runoff, Crown-of-thorns starfish and commercial activity.

covenantal g-groups
Covenantal G-groups are groups that are constructed by church leadership, in consultation with individuals, in hopes that each becomes a Community of Care and a Community of Learning. More specifically:
1. Covenantal G-groups are Communities of Care in which we honor each other's stories. By practicing habits of listening, narrating, and truth-telling, we learn to trust each other. We share mutual vulnerability. We take turns. We tell our stories. We pray for each other. We allow each person to be exactly who they are, without judgment, without expectation. There is little time for noisy chitchat; G-Groups are more likely to clear the clutter that fills our heads so much of the time. Like Jesus, we take risks in listening and speaking (and being quiet together) so that we can meet people where they are. We each expect that we, in turn, will be met and seen and appreciated and loved.
2. Covenantal G-groups are Communities of Learning in which we deepen our discipleship of Jesus. Together we learn (or relearn) the One Big Story that God has been telling for a long time. We read the Bible. We join in conversation with scripture, with each other, with authors we respect, with our servant-leaders, with our Lead Evangelist. We come with soft hearts and open minds. We want to know what God wants, so we can want what God wants. We look to Jesus as the fullest expression of God's logic (logos, "Word", see John 1:14) among us. We do not expect to ever finish this work, but we hope to keep moving closer to the Center all the time. This is rehabilitative work for many of us who originally learned this One Big Story in a way that diminished and hurt us or our neighbors. This rehabilitative theological exploration takes time, and we're lucky to be doing it together.
Covenantal G-groups meet together:
• weekly, on a regular schedule, for eating and drinking and sharing life;
• for 10 weeks on, 3 weeks off for Sabbath each quarter, on an all-church schedule;
• for three or four quarters without major disturbance of group makeup;
• with alternating leadership and location quarterly or every couple of quarters to prevent burnout.
Covenantal G-groups consist of people who know each other, mostly. Newcomers to Galileo form G-groups by participating in "G-101," a G-group just for people who want to know more about Galileo's life together, and how they can be part of it, and how they can affect it by being part of it.
Covenantal G-groups need three kinds of people:
Conveners invite a G-group into their home and keep it going, administratively.
Facilitators prepare the content of the weekly meeting, facilitate the movement of each meeting, and report about the group's life to the Spiritual Care Team.
Co-hosts are the body of a G-group, everyone who is invited to participate in the covenantal relationship of that group. Covenantal G-groups are communal affairs, with co-equal participants making them beautiful.
Covenantal G-Groups have a plan, mostly:
what we do
Gather. Give thanks. Check in. Pray. Study. Bless. Go home.
litanies of t'giving; prayers of benediction
These little prayers are short and sweet and perfect. Thanks, Ashley D, for writing them.
when it's your turn to share supper
Co-Hosts will want to take a turn bringing food for their G-Group, and we've got lots of ideas to make that easier. And yummier.
pastoral letter re: g-groups
Once upon a time, our Lead Evangelist wrote a pastoral letter about our G-Groups; about how essential they are in the life of our church; about how we can do them better. This is how Covenantal G-Groups were born. You can read her letter here.

- Keep feedback based on the product only and your experience of using the product. E.g. size, fabric, how it makes you feel?
- Be honest - tell us what you like about the product and what you don't like about the product.
- Keep it clean, get to the point and provide helpful feedback for others.
- We are not about anything offensive, racist, crude, so inappropriate comments won't be posted accordingly.
Also to protect your privacy we can't post any personal information, so use of a nickname for the review is the best way to go. Links to other websites and references to other retailers is also potentially misleading to visitors, so we won't post this info either. But if you want to talk to us about anything concerning prices, promotions, shipping, customer service or details that are personal to your purchase then we would love to hear from you, Contact Us.
What is a promo code?
A promo code is a series of numbers and letters that gives you to a specific discount or percentage off your purchase when entered at the shopping cart. An example of a promo code could be, "enter promo code '123ABC' in the shopping cart to receive x% off". This promo would come with certain terms and conditions and will often be time sensitive. Promo codes are not to be confused with gift vouchers, which need to be entered at the cart page before checkout
I forgot to add a promo code to my order. Can it still be applied?
Unfortunately, no. Promo codes can only be applied in the shopping cart screen at time of purchase.
Is my personal data safe if I create an account?
Yes, your data is safe with Clarks as we are fully compliant with the Privacy Act in Australia. Your account and personal details, and any order details, are protected. To access your details on our website, you need to enter the correct password. Click here for our full privacy policy.

1957 Supro/National Belaire which is a Valco made guitar with a Gibson made ES-175 body. It has a great playing neck with great frets. It's all original and 100% complete. Included is the pictured hardshell case. There is a hairline crack on the bass side of the neck running down from the edge of the nut to the 1st fret. This crack is no threat to the structural integrity of this rare Supro as it remains simply a cosmetic flaw. Other cosmetic flaws including nicks + dings, finish checking, some very minor cracks in the first laminate of the top, and other minor cosmetic wear. All electronics work and sound great.
For customers in the United States we accept Mastercard, Visa, Discover, and American Express cards for payment, as well as bank wire transfers, Paypal, postal money orders, Western Union, or personal checks (we must wait about 2 weeks for the checks to clear before shipping the item). For international customers, we can accept Paypal, a bank wire transfer, or Western Union. If paying with a credit card please call us with your payment information at 618-201-5848 and we can usually ship the guitar out the same day.
Our guitars are usually packed the same business day that we receive payment. We take the utmost care when packing our guitars and basses to assure that they arrive safely. We detune all guitars so that there is no tension on the neck, then the guitar is packed inside the case so that it does not move during shipment. After the guitar is safely packaged inside the case we wrap the case with several layers of half-inch tall bubble wrap. After the guitar is wrapped it is placed into one of our custom-made double-walled cardboard boxes of the appropriate size. We then use packing peanuts or packing paper to fill any negative space in the box so that the guitar is secured with several inches of padding and does not move around. This way, even if the guitar is mishandled during shipment, it will arrive safe and sound. Our guitars are usually shipped the same business day that we receive payment. Most of our guitars are shipped UPS, and items are always fully insured. If you would like a guitar shipped with FedEx or USPS, please let us know and we can accommodate your needs. Because of insurance the price of shipping will vary, so please email us for an exact shipping quote. Shipping for most guitars will be around $50.
If you feel that we have misrepresented anything, please contact us within 48 hours, and ship the guitar back to us. After we receive the guitar and it is in the same condition as when it was sold, we will give you a full refund minus the shipping charges.

Why not receive a copy of our free Personal Development Plan (PDP) template?
Written by Productivity and Growth Expert - Tim Scott
The Chancellor recently shared growth and productivity comparisons compared with other economies. He criticised productivity as the "challenge of our time", then, more recently praised the economy for faster than expected economic growth.
So what practical action can we take from this political bake off and rise to the challenge without getting a soggy bottom. What is key is that metrics are being used to measure performance against your competitors. A key take home is "if you cannot measure it how can you tell if you are improving it". With such information decisions can be made to review current course and strategy and identify areas for improvement.
So which course do you take, growth or productivity or even both. In essence my favourite phrase "it depends", with dependence aligned to your business goals and objectives. The reasons you are in business is your competitive advantage in meeting the current and future needs of your customers.
Where many organisations struggle is developing a project culture where internal people have the freedom and skills to execute change management to close the gaps identified, whether it be for productivity, growth or both.
Using "projects" is a logical approach and one which successful business leaders alike aim to follow. It enables the day to day business to continue whilst allowing "experts" to come together to use their knowledge and experience to develop new ways of working. Used correctly it can energise and release talent which the day to day environment hides.
Below are some of the problems encountered when looking to improve Productivity and Growth:
These are not new challenges, but research shows that with training and coaching they can release individuals and teams freedom to produce far more. Resulting in more delighted customers both internally and externally. I think, George, Mary & Paul will agree that given the right tools and motivation we can achieve more than we thought possible, whether it's a macaroon or decreasing the deficit!
With the drivers of Productivity & Growth as strategic initiatives and the knowledge that Business Improvement can be achieved by the use of closing the gap project management the Professional Academy have developed a range of courses to help organisations maximise growth and productivity to align organisational capacity and capabilities to meet market needs.

By Diane Gibson
WGU Course Instructor, Teachers College
At WGU, each student is assigned a personal faculty member to work with them as a mentor throughout their time at WGU. Additionally, each course has its own Course Instructors, subject-matter experts who are available to help students get through course material. Advice from your faculty members is invaluable as you make your way through your online degree program. But we also want you to benefit from the wisdom of faculty not necessarily assigned to you, so occasionally, The Night Owl features advice from WGU mentors in colleges throughout the university.
As the warmth of the summer months starts to hit, staying focused on school and timelines becomes much harder.
We have all faced the tough choice between sticking to our study time and playing with the kids who are off for summer vacation. This is the time when students often try to find shortcuts to getting the work done. To stay motivated, take this time to reflect about why you started this journey.
If I were to send out a survey asking each of you the reason you came to WGU, I would venture to say that not one of you would answer "to get a degree in Task 1." No, most of you are going to say "to earn my degree in Accounting or Health Informatics or Elementary Education" or fill-in-the-blank. Your degree is more than just one task; it is the foundation and knowledge that you build through the Course of Study, the learning resources, and the interactions with your Program Mentor and the Course Instructors.
But let's face it. It is summer and the pool might seriously be calling your name even as you are reading this article. Right now, you're struggling just to focus on how to get through that next task.
The following are the steps I talk to students about to help them approach their tasks in a more-effective and efficient manner, so they can build their foundational knowledge and show their competency the first time they submit the work.
First, open up the tasks that you will be required to do for the course.
Next, go to the Course of Study; find the section that discusses the competency. Often the Courses of Study are set up so the sections match the competencies that you must meet for the course. If this is not the case in your Course of Study, each section has an introduction/definition that will give you additional information.
If you are really stuck and cannot find the correct information use your resources:
After locating the correct section in the Course of Study for the competencies, learn the information. This means do all the readings and use all the learning resources for the task. It is a good idea to check the community for any extra stuff that the Course Instructors might have posted to help with the content if you have not already done this.
Finally, go back to the task and read the directions. Compare the directions to the rubric and what you will be expected to show the evaluators to pass the task. Break the directions into small pieces and start to put the task together. Now that you have the foundational knowledge it should be easier to understand what is being asked in the directions.
If you approach the work in this manner, you will find that you have more confidence in your work because you will understand the language the task is using and what is being asked of you. During a time when you really want to be outside, having a more-efficient way to approach the task will keep you on track and still allow for some fun in the sun.

Hands-On Approach
A spa owner in Massachusetts uses therapeutic massage to help a child with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Photos Courtesy Mary Schwalm
Three years ago, four-year-old Keelan Pothier was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), one of nine types in this genetic and degenerative disease group. According to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, DMD primarily affects boys, and onset usually occurs between the ages of two and six. Because the disease compromises the ability of muscle cells to remain intact, most afflicted children become confined to a wheelchair by age 12 and face a drastically shortened life expectancy.
When Deb Canejo, licensed massage therapist, naturopath and owner of Elite Body Spa & Laser Center and Salon Nikol in South Lawrence, Massachusetts, learned of young Keelan's condition, she felt an immediate desire to help. Canejo's spa specializes in therapeutic and orthopedic massage, so the conscientious owner/therapist set to researching DMD and, with approval from doctors, implemented a once-a-week therapy plan to help relax and stretch Keelan's muscles—free of charge. She went on to promote her salon's one-year anniversary celebration as a fundraiser for Keelan's family.
Canejo's efforts on the Pothiers' behalf demonstrates that it doesn't take a massive business—or a massive budget—to make a big difference in people's lives. It does, however, require a caring heart and a willingness to act. We spoke with Canejo about the logistics surrounding her efforts and how her one small idea became an infinite inspiration. —Liz Barrett
DAYSPA: How did you come to learn about Keelan Pothier?
Deb Canejo: I met Keelan's mother, Kathy Pothier, through one of our hairstylists, who thought I might be able to help Kathy with her problem knee. She'd had surgery a year earlier and was heartbroken that she couldn't participate in a triathlon to raise money for her son. I set up an appointment to see if I could help increase Kathy's range of motion. Within six to eight sessions she was running three miles on the treadmill with no pain.
During our sessions Kathy would talk about her son and his daily challenges with DMD. I asked a lot of questions; I was driven to know as much as I could about this little boy's muscle condition. I researched it for almost two months, until I felt comfortable enough in my knowledge to ask Kathy if I could try to do something to help Keelan. The family checked with his doctor—who said yes—and I began to donate my time to see if I could make a difference in Keelan's life. Now he comes into the spa once a week for therapy and Kathy works with him at home. We change up what she does depending on how Keelan's muscles respond during each session.
How can massage help in relieving symptoms of muscular dystrophy?
Massage techniques are unique to each client. I use many different types of massage therapy techniques that I combine depending on the individual client's needs or health conditions: muscle stripping, lymphatic, myofascial release, neuromuscular release, cross-fiber friction, orthopedic muscular modalities and medical massage techniques, to name a few. Keelan has a form of MD in which his muscles, when torn, cannot repair themselves. The goal of my therapy is to remove any toxins that build up in the muscle while stretching them to keep them as pliable [and therefore, less apt to tear] as possible—to keep him out of a wheelchair for as long as possible.
Do you find it frustrating, or even heartbreaking, to work with a client whom you can't actually cure?
If my therapy can help to give Keelan even one extra year to walk, it's worth it! I donate my time as a therapist to make a difference in people's lives. Helping someone improve the quality of their life, even for a short period of time, is a reward in itself.
Let's talk about the salon side of your business, and your one-year anniversary event. What inspired you to donate proceeds to Keelan's family?
The inspiration was Kathy. No matter how tired she may be, she always finds time to work with Keelan so she can give him the best quality of life possible—while continuing to be attentive to her daughter and not play favorites. I am honored to have met such an incredible person.
How did you ensure the success of the event?
We promoted it through word-of-mouth, Facebook, email blasts to our clients, invitations to contacts and businesses in the local area, and through the media. There was also an article written in the local newspaper as well as a video posted on YouTube. On the day of the event, the salon sold various items—body lotions, hair products, gift certificates, makeup, etc.—but we also invited vendors to sell things like jewelry, clothing, accessories, health products, baked goods and nutritional drinks. Our salon and all of the vendors donated a percentage of our profits to help Keelan. In addition, we conducted a raffle. Every vendor donated an item, we donated multiple gift certificates and even local businesses (Edible Arrangements, Salvatore's Restaurant and Andover Liquors) also donated raffle prizes.
How did you get your staff involved?
Our dedicated team at Elite is always ready and willing to participate in any event we sponsor, working together as one unit no matter the job. I have a group of passionate and caring, career-driven individuals who make these events not only successful, but a pleasure to host. I should mention, though, that many of our friends and clients volunteered their time for Keelan's event; my mother, who'd had back surgery two weeks before the event, still prepared and cooked all the food that was served that evening.
Would you consider the event a success for your business?
Our business received great exposure, but that being said, we would do it all over again without any spotlight because the goal of the event was helping a family in need. And we raised a generous donation for Keelan.
Do you plan to hold future fundraising events?
Our team is always donating to charities or public auctions to help raise money in our community. We plan to choose a different child each year and host an event to make a difference in that child's life, no matter how big or small that difference may be.
