The problem, the stigma, the black mark that crushes everyone's life – drugs, illegal drugs, over-the-counter drug use, how can we stop it? No one has got the perfect answer in order to stop people while using drugs, however, there is one way that one could give children better chances compared to they might have with regards to winning the war against drugs. How do I know this – from general observations, from living life, from being raised in the generation of flower power plus the era when drugs were prevalent and widespread over the large cities in America. What was one thing that helped keep me far from drugs when drugs were all around me? If you knew the response of how to quit your children while using drugs do you use the solution?
Nothing is guaranteed, naturally. Everyone is somebody and certainly, if you person would like to do drugs and if you person feels they must do drugs, then your mind will abuse drugs. However, you can find little things, ordinary things which we can caused by guide our children within the better directions in your everyday living, and these tiny problems have been proven to focus on most children. Here is how you may give children a jump, a running start inside the race against illegal drugs inside your society.
Enforce a breeding ground where time is valuable and this valuable time is full of good events, good projects, and valuable hobbies. Any time that's spent doing good, doing productive projects, being busy being resourceful is that significantly less time that any individual will spend doing drugs or just being hooked on drugs. introduce your sons or daughters to show creativity, to getting a hobby, to becoming very thinking about bringing good inside their lives you may have given your young ones an anti-drug asset. If you have a look at other teens and adults, it will always be the teens and adults which can be occupied with LIFE who have no time and also have no interest for illegal drug use. So, first priority, get a child or teen interested in an activity that rocks their world. Let them find the hobby and this hobby can last them an entire life.
Teach children the valuable lesson that God is forever together, wherever they can be, without matter what they may be doing. When children be aware that God is with these, at that time, during this very moment, then children -when approached by drug dealers — will just decline. Anyone who believes in God and believes that God is together in every moment in their lives is going to be stronger with regards to fighting against drug use. Faithful believers are usually much stronger, emotionally than those who believe in nothing. The reason for it is because it is common sense that two are stronger than one. So when children has a strong faith in God, that child is rarely alone. That child incorporates a Buddy that will aid that child fight the need to join the drug users. That works! That child has someone they could call on during times of temptation and weakness, and a lot times, so easy solution to lifes' problems really does work.
Talk in your child about drugs. Give them the data that they should have inside their lives. But most importantly talk with them about drugs even though you may think that they can be too young to understand drugs. No child is way too young to find out about illegal drug use. Your approach within the talk is going to be different according to the age of a child. But kid should be taught about illegal drug use. Besides this speak with them about irresponsible drinking.
KNOW that you'll find sometimes direct links between irresponsible drinking and illegal drug use or abuse of prescribed drugs. There are times when a young child or teen are going to be very prone to using illegal drugs when normally they might not dream about toughing the item. These times would be the times when a young child is weak or vulnerable – by way of example, if children or teen has abused alcohol or perhaps really drunk. That child will possibly accept drugs if child is drunk when normally that child had the attitude of "just decline" to drugs. This is how educated children or teens get totally hooked on drugs when they have been, each of their life, been anti-drug. So, an obvious, present, solid education on abusive drinking is one of the weapons that you just have as part of your arsenal against illegal drug use and against prescription drug use.
Keep your prescription medications out of the medicine cabinet whilst them within a locked box from children and teens. Every child includes a bit of temptation in them. It is best to find the drugs away from plain view. The bathroom plus the medicine cabinet are private places. Children and teens looks through there and experiment in that room and you didn't know it happened. Knowledge is the best second weapon against drug use. So keep all and then for any prescriptions locked up and out of your bathroom. Throw out all old prescriptions. You usually do not need them whether they have been sitting for a long time. They are not valuable to you if you need them again, you ought to go to the doctors and find new prescriptions.
Clear your own home out. You can have alcohol inside your home, accomplish not employ a liquor store inside your property. Do not make your house a storage home for abundant alcohol or prescription, or illegal or legal drugs. This is extremely important in fighting the drug war. Why possess a stock of the items when children and teens are from the house. Children and teens are natural curious people and they're experimenters. There are children and teens who never would have been hooked had the merchandise not been from the home. So do your very best. If you would like a availability of anything within your home, make it a way to obtain good reading books, and good music and wonderful creative projects and and arts and crafts items.
Do not use illegal drugs yourself. Just decline! When your kids or teen sees you abusing drugs, illegal or legal, you happen to be teaching your youngster how to live. You usually do not want to instruct that lesson. If you think that one could take illegal drugs and never set an undesirable example, you happen to be mistaken. I know of merely one family who used pot but forbid the kids to use pot since it was illegal. Of course, that child grew and once that child reached a particular age, that child became a steady drug user. That child spent my childhood years to be a drug dealer, and finished up in jail and is particularly now currently in a choice of jail maybe in a half-way house. That child has a long time of illegal drug use. That same child who watched his parents smoke "recreational pot". Sometimes your kids will not have access to the strength or resistance that you probably have. So tend not to think you could take drugs into the house and not promote these drugs on your own children. Do not use illegal drugs , nor abuse alcohol or medications. Care about children even if you don't care about yourself. Please save your son or daughter's life by not doing anything illegal.
Doing any or all of such things as part of your home will give your youngster and your teen strength and likelihood of avoiding illegal drug use and avoiding prescription drug use and avoiding abusive drinking. Try your very best to follow the instructions in the list above and you will likely be giving your little one and teen a jump in this world. It is really worth trying. Yes, you'll find no guarantees in your life. I am not saying that in case you do all of this that your kids or teen will not take drugs. However, I am saying if you do each one of these things or most of those things, your youngster will have better top reasons to live, better top reasons to enjoy life and your kids will employ a 85 percent prospects for fighting illegal drug use and careless drinking than every other person has inside their life. Do it. Try it. What do you should lose? You have nothing to get rid of and everything to find. This is the child's life that individuals are discussing. Wouldn't you are doing anything to save your son or daughter's life? Most people would. Now, in this perspective , dozens of actions look like very easy activities to do!
So, why are me a professional on illegal abusing drugs? Here is how I encounter this gem of real information that definitely saves lives. I was raised in a city that had been filled with drugs. I could get drugs whenever and wherever I wanted to. Yet, I used the plan of "Just Say No" -long before this project arrived to television. That was my motto. I just said no. It is easy to just refuse BEFORE you might be hooked, prior to ever touch an illegal drug. And that may be why you begin early. Catch your son or daughter's interest before they use a chance to consider drugs, and then you have the jump start. So, back in the story, nearly all of my friends began taking drugs. (I hung out with several friends and slowly and gradually, I realized that they were trying marijuana. The minute I saw that these were using illegal drugs, I ran from my buddies and I ran to my "hobby". It was my hobby that saved me from trying drugs plus it was my hobby that saved me from being like my pals. That's all it took, one hobby. Instead of becoming travelling to drugs I become fully conscious of my hobby. I am hinting from upfront experience that an activity gives your son or daughter or teen an eighty-five percent chance -better versus the average person's possiblity to stay faraway from illegal drug use, along with other abuses.
Where does faith and belief can be found in? I am not discussing religion. Religion hasn't ever saved anyone from drugs. I am dealing with a sincere faith and belief in God and or within the Bible. That is in which the strength emanates from. And this will be your backup plan (which must be your first plan, but everybody is individual). At instances when a person is really vulnerable that they can be too tired, too weak or busy or preoccupied to arrive at for or even think of the hobby, that's where faith will come in. Everyone can pray; everybody is able to reach out to God. All it takes is an idea. That is why faith can be so wonderful. Faith requires no manual labor. So faith fills in the place that the hobby left off. Even if you're totally exhausted and will not move, you still possess the energy left for prayer, a silent prayer or verbal prayer. You can pray.
By using the suggestions above tools you'll be able to possibly safeguard your youngster and teens from jumping in to the world of illegal drugs and alcohol and prescription drug use.
So, the fact that was the outcome of my own, personal tools? I spent my childhood years with just about everyone around me using illegal drugs. My knowledge ok, i'll "leave" the group and set you back my hobby. I never even touched a marijuana cigarette. I never took one illegal drug. That is enough proof for me personally that this system these tools works. I have many friends who may have died from drug use and possess many other friends who appeared in rehabs together miserable lives simply because they had no hobby to be and no faith to look at over when there was clearly no physical strength to try and do their hobby. Almost everyone around me, around my circle of friends caved directly into peer pressure and caved straight into taking illegal drugs. I wonder how many may have stopped short of that in case they just had faith or a pastime. None of my girlfriends had an interest so when marijuana came around, they made marijuana their hobby. Many of which had religion. They had to visit to church on Sundays; they had to check out certain man-made religious rules. But none of these had faith in God or faith by themselves. Their faith is at marijuana. Their faith failed them after they needed real faith.
This system works when you dare make use of it. Yes, yes, yes, I hear you. It is not foolproof, but I guarantee you this. If you use this product, your kids will have a very better chance than anyone else's child. How do I know? I have evidence of it. I just said no! Help your child refuse! Bring a process, an agenda into your own home and to your life. You are going to be glad that you simply did.
And deep down in every one of us will be the challenge, the necessity to be noticed, for being visible. If there is a person that is invisible with your life today, please take a step to bring them in your big picture. You can do it and you will probably be glad which you did.
I i do hope you take the advice and I hope that you just pass this post around your circle of friends because also, you contain the opportunity to save someone's life. And in saving anyone's life, you happen to be saving a total family. People who use drugs ruin lives; they ruin whole families. So please take this today, and help save your youngster's life. You will probably be so glad that you just did this.

"…designed specifically for dental and medical practices."
Because the software has been built with the help of many dental offices that use it every day, the feature list may seem overwhelming. But you don't have to use every feature to be effective. Use just a few at first, and you'll start to notice an instant improvement in your intraoffice communication.
Navigating BlueNote Communicator is simple; you have three different views:
Noteboard – The virtual corkboard where BlueNote actions are posted. BlueNotes appear within each location where the action is needed.
Patients – View all patients currently in the office along with their location, relevant notes, which clinician is assigned to that patient, and how long they've been there.
Messages – All typed message history is accessed from the Messages view, as well as BlueNote history, unread messages, and message logging.
Patient arrivals are acknowledged in the Waiting Room window. Actual appointment time, arrival time, and length of wait time are included in the view.
DND (Do Not Disturb) is used to prevent communications from interrupting your other software programs such as charting or image acquisitions. This is also helpful when you don't want patients seeing alerts, like showing a case presentation or patient education.
The pushpin button tells BlueNote Communicator to stay on top of all other programs.
"Call for Asst" - A BlueNote is an action or event that needs to happen within a practice. BlueNotes are posted to the NoteBoard in much the same manner that a to-do list can be pegged to a corkboard. When a task is complete, the BlueNote should be removed from the NoteBoard.
The core of your communications occur on the NoteBoard. BlueNotes are posted by double-clicking under the location where you want a BlueNote to appear, and cleared by single-clicking an existing BlueNote.
Quick Buttons are available for simple programming to make it possible to post BlueNotes to the NoteBoard with a single mouse-click or key. Quick buttons can be instant or dragged and dropped to any location on the NoteBoard.
For urgent attention, the High Alert button is used to signal an emergency event or priority need.
Click on the Type a Message or Quick Text buttons to open the typed messaging window where longer typed messages can be sent to individuals, all computers, or to assigned groups.
Intra-Office Communications built for Dental and Medical practices | More secure than radio headsets and Internet chat programs like AIM, Yahoo Messenger and GoogleTalk

The Care Certificate replaces Common Induction Standards by Skills for Care, the Care Certificate is an agreed set of standards that sets out the knowledge, skills and behaviours expected of specific job roles in the health and social care sectors. It's made up of the 15 minimum standards that should be covered if you are 'new to care' and should form part of a robust induction programme.
The Care Certificate is an identified set of standards that health and social care workers adhere to in their daily working life.
Designed with the non-regulated workforce 1 in mind, the Care Certificate gives everyone the confidence that these workers have the same introductory skills, knowledge and behaviours to provide compassionate, safe and high quality care and support. Regulated staff (e.g. Doctors, Nurses, Social Workers, Occupational Therapists) gain similar skills and knowledge within their professional training so they do not need to also achieve the Care Certificate.
The Care Certificate: applies across health and social care; links to competences (National Occupational Standards) and units in qualifications; covers what is required to be caring; will equip workers with the fundamental skill they need to provide quality care; and gives them a basis from which they can further develop your knowledge and skills as their career progresses.

Everybody has one – a smartphone that is. With the fall semester in full effect, it's rare to see a student on campus without one. Whether they're playing Pokémon GO or posting hourly updates about their latest "first world" problems on social media, smartphones are great resources during times of need and times of boredom… and even sadness. If you're a first-year student having a hard time adjusting to your new way of life, there may be something you can do to put a smile on your face.
A new study published in the Psychology of Well-Being has found that taking selfies and sharing them with your friends can make you happy. No Kidding?
The study ran for a month and involved 41 college students who were randomly assigned into three groups. The first group was asked to take a daily selfie while smiling. The second group was asked to take a daily picture of an object that made them happy. The last group was asked to take a daily picture of something that made another person happy.
By using smartphone technology and analyzing the users' emotional and psychological states, the study found that taking pictures and sharing them can positively affect one's mood.
"Our research showed that practicing exercises that can promote happiness via smartphone picture-taking and sharing can lead to increased positive feelings for those who engage in it," said lead author Yu Chen, a postdoctoral scholar in UCI's Department of Informatics. This is particularly useful information for returning college students to be aware of since they face many sources of pressure."
I remember my first year away from family and friends; it was really tough to adjust to my new surroundings. The low times were brought on by financial difficulties, loneliness, and the balancing act between varsity volleyball and classes. All of these pressures led to some pretty low times, despite being at a great university with my older brother a few minutes away from me.
The team analyzed nearly 3,000 mood measurements during the study and noticed that all three groups experienced an increase in happiness. The selfie group became more confident and comfortable with their smiles over time, while those who took pictures of things that made them happy became more grateful and reflective. Finally, the group who took pictures to make others happy felt calmer and said their connection with friends and family helped relieve stress.
"You see a lot of reports in the media about the negative impacts of technology use, and we look very carefully at these issues here at UCI," said senior author Gloria Mark, a professor of informatics. "But there have been expanded efforts over the past decade to study what's become known as 'positive computing,' and I think this study shows that sometimes our gadgets can offer benefits to users."
Now there's another reason to take your 34th selfie of the day – get snappin! 🙂

If you haven't yet heard about PechaKucha nights, then you're missing out. The name, PechaKucha, comes from a Japanese term for the sound of "chitchat", and it's an apt name for these evenings, because of their informal, relaxed style. The atmosphere, people and creative presentations come together for a delightful evening that is more social and fun, then serious edification.
How it works
PechaKucha 20×20 is an interesting format, where any creative can make a presentation out of 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds. The images change automatically and the speaker talks along to the images.
The audience has the chance to ask questions and chat about the topic. A great networking concept, PechaKucha brings diverse people together and exposes them to new ideas.
PechaKucha Nights are held all over the world. In Cape Town it's held at the Assembly on the first Tuesday of every other month. The next event is on the 6th of May.
Oh, entrance is free and there are frequent beer breaks, which may explain part of why PechaKucha Nights are getting more and more popular in the city.
How it began
Long ago, in a distant land known as Tokyo, Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Klein Dytham architecture realised there weren't enough public spaces to showcase design work in an easy, relaxed format. Thus, the first PechaKucha Night was held in Tokyo in their gallery lounge bar, SuperDeluxe, in 2003.
People liked it, so they held it again. And again. The unique format caught on in other cities, and now they happen in 700 cities around the world, including our beloved Mother City.
Originally, PechaKucha presentations were devised to allow young designers to meet, showcase and network. However, these days anyone can present on just about anything. If you design wedding gowns, bake cakes, landscape gardens, or just have a fresh idea you want to share, you can get involved. Or you can just come along and enjoy what others are doing.
This really makes for a fun evening out that's a bit different to the usual night out with friends for drinks. There are so many interesting things happening in the city that aren't part of the norm. It's worth it to keep an eye on conference venues in Cape Town to see what's going on that you might not be aware of.
The PechaKucha speakers will inspire you as they share their passions, creativity, and achievements, and because of the relaxed style, you can probably have a chat with them later at the bar.

Industrial made micro windmill
The windmill is connected to the tower simply by pushing the thinner end of the tower inside it.
Tower (incomplete)
There's a plastic sheet inside the flagpole what must be taken away or pushed aside to get the elecricity cable through. Also it's good to make a mark to the tower where the rubber band is supposed to be tightened.
Base (incomplete)
Beams (incomplete)
The beams are not positioned correctly at the moment but the gap between the beams may be 2mm too thin for the flagpole so the wood may need slight chiseling. You can cut the ends of the beams diagonally against rain and paint the beams against rot. You can move the beams to better positions than they are left in.
Hinge and rubber band (incomplete)
You can paint the ungalvanised steel parts against rust.
Supporting structure inside the tank (undone)
The tank is only 5mm thick and because of the rust the bottom can be even thinner. It's possible to use bolts and/or welding in the sides of the tank to connect an as yet undesigned and undone supporting structure.
Straps (undone)
The straps connect the tower to the beams. You can make the straps simply from metal bands that you can screw to the beams. For extra durability and strength you can for example make the straps from pieces of thicker metal sheet that has holes for the screws.
Optional wheel for the rope
Rain cover (undone)
Since there are gaps around the tower and the beams of the base, a rain cover must be designed and made to prevent water flowing into the tank.
The windmill produces 3-phase AC. It's turned into DC by a 3-phase rectifier.
Automatic switch for the dump load (undone)
When the batteries are full, the electricity must be directed into a dump load by an automatic switch. So the windmill is always under a load and it can't free wheel and get damaged from the high spinning speed that can be reached in such a situation. The switch is placed between the charge controller and the mill.
Dump load (undone)
The maximum wattage the windmill can produce must be estimated using data from as yet undone voltage and amperage tests that can be done with a multimeter. The dump load can be made in several different ways. One easy way is to spin a right lenght of welding chord around a ceramic plate that has angle grinded grooves in the sides.
Steps to raise and lower the windmill
-tighten the rubber band around the tower so that a maximum portion of the tower is under the hinge while the rubber band rests on the hinge
-Put the tower through the hinge
-Pull from the rope until the tower is in a vertical position
-Loosen the rubber band so that the weight of the tower and the mill will be carried by the rope. Hold the tower stright while doing this
-Lower the end of the tower in to the tank by giving out the rope gradually. Hold the tower stright
-Strap the tower to the beams
Lowering is done by undoing the steps taken in the raising of the windmill
Location of the parts
All the parts are in or at the Big Catamaran. The rope behind the orange bag in the picture is suitable for the project.

While discussing his invention, the Hack-Off, a DIY sex toy motor control board that allows users to create vibration patterns for their own sex toys, Orgasmatronics' Lafe Spietz said, "There's a huge overlap within the tech and sex toy world. There are millions of coding people out there that are kinky."
Nevertheless, for some consumers incorporating advanced technology can hinder the experience.
"If the user isn't too tech-savvy it could create a barrier," Fun Factory's Kristen Tribby said. "Products have to be accessible to the average consumer. Fun Factory thinks about this a lot when designing products."
According to Tribby, rather than remake a similar product Fun Factory will create a whole new category such as with its pulsators.
"Retailers need manufacturers to make new products not re-make the same designs," she said.
Je Joue's Alicia Relles seconded the opinion, noting that Je Joue designs are body-inspired.
"All of our products are well-researched," Relles said. "We're constantly trying to find those designs that satisfy people."
Crave's Michael Topolovac discussed the inspiration for his company's designs.
"At Crave we spend a lot of time on the 'why,'" he said. "Our latest product, the Vesper was created to be worn [as a necklace] and spark conversation."
Among the current trends of sex toy technology is the incorporation of mobile app-operated toys, such as the We-Vibe 4 Plus.
We-Vibe's Tristan Weedmark discussed the data that the app has revealed, including that 18 minutes is the average time users spend with a We-Vibe and that We-Vibe users were the most active on Christmas Day.
"Privacy is extremely important to keep in mind when dealing with technology," Weedmark said. "Chosen anonymity should be preserved. The info that the app provides us only offers a global, general view of consumer data."
Ohmibod's Brian Dunham said that smartwatch category is rapidly developing.
"Within the next five years, smartwatches will be as common as the iPhone," he said. "We received a really positive reaction when we showcased our blueMotion app with smart watch connectivity at CES."
Although there was plenty of speculation about the impact of 3D printing on the pleasure products industry, the panelists weren't too convinced.
"3D printing helps but it's frustrating," Topolovac said.
Weedmark added, "It's more of an exercise of the imagination. It allows you to hold and have a tactile experience."
The "Next Big Thing" panel analyzed the evolving male pleasure products market with speakers Toon Timmermans (Kiiroo), Perfect Fit Brand (Steve Callow), Brett Drysdale (Fleshlight), Tony Levine (Big Teaze), Keith Caggiano (Rock On), and CT Schenk (Aneros) as moderator.
"The male products category has evolved from a few niche products to a full industry," Schenk said.
According to Perfect Fit Brand's Steve Callow, the Internet is one of the driving forces behind the success of the male sex toy market.
"The strap-on also has made a big difference," Callow said. "It has changed the perspective of a lot of men regarding anal play. At one time all of the male sex toys were in the gay section. Where products are displayed in a store can change the view of the consumer."
Rock On's Keith Caggiano said that packaging could also make a product appear more acceptable.
"Make it look fun for women and the men will follow," he said. "With Rock On, we're selling the psychology. We're selling the confidence that men want to feel."
Fleshlight's Brett Drysdale advised that companies take the opportunities to align themselves with mainstream brands to boost acceptability.
"Canada is more sexually liberal and we've done an excellent job up there expanding the brand when we sponsored North by Northwest last year, which is similar to the South by Southwest festival in Austin. Our brand was alongside other sponsors like Red Bull and Toyota. The opportunities are out there."
The "Future of Pleasure Products" panel offered a comprehensive forecast of the industry. Panelists included Scott Watkins (Doc Johnson), Tristan Weedmark (We-Vibe), Rebecca Cook (Sinclair Institute), Alicia Sinclair (JimmyJane), Dennis Paradise (Paradise Marketing) and Dee Dennis (Catalyst Con) as moderator.
"I don't think that there will be many changes except that FDA and other policies are going to be more proactive," Dennis Paradise said. "I think that the labeling and the claims are going to be scrutinized."
According to the panelists, much of evolution of the industry is based on consumer education.
"As the industry grows and evolves, consumers are becoming more educated," We-Vibe's Tristan Weedmark said.
Sinclaire Institute's Rebecca Cook added, "Sinclaire has always been all about education and knowing who your customers are and what they want."
Shoppers also are favoring products that are made in the U.S., said Scott Watkins of Doc Johnson.
"Made in America is very popular right now," he said. "We control our own destiny. We don't have to wait for products to arrive from China. We're extremely proud to say that 99% of the products at our last trade show were made in the U.S."
Jimmyjane's Alicia Sinclair discussed the brand's mainstream penetration, noting that the designer brand has been sold in stores such as Fred Segal, and Sephora in France.
"I would like to see our stores more mainstream," she said. "I hope that the future is us. We create the experience and let's collectively develop it."
Cook discussed the growing demographic of baby boomers.
"Sinclaire Institute has been on the AARP agenda for years," she said. "It's a market that has been growing consistently for years, and the older generation doesn't know anything about sex toys."
Panelists agreed that in order to cater to older consumers the brand must focus more on sexual wellness.
The visionary keynote address by Ron Braverman, CEO and founder of Doc Johnson, offered attendees a glimpse at the industry legend's past and inspiration.
"When I first started I worked as a clerk at a store in Amsterdam," he said. "People were coming in as couples – they were years ahead of their time. It was something that didn't exist in America and is the concept behind Doc Johnson."
Braverman also elaborated on Doc's dedication to manufacturing in the U.S.
"'Made in America' is a personal thing," he said. "I know what the consumer gets. If it is a bad product, that's my fault and they shouldn't ever get a bad product, and I hope that new companies that come into the business follow our lead."
As one of the industry's founding companies, Braverman discussed Doc Johnson's groundbreaking developments, including releasing the first porn star masturbator, and establishing the first-ever video-novelty collaborations with Doc Johnson's Vivid branded line of toys.
"In 1978 we molded John Holmes and it still sells today," he said. "We recently created a line based on James Deen and I think he's the modern representation of what's going on in the biz today."
Braverman also offered a forecast of the future.
"We have risen as a whole to face any challenges together," Braverman said. "The fights that I have fought are done but I think there will be new ones. The more we educate, the more people will accept pleasure products."

A Quiet Investigation
by Fran Dowdall
Young Comms Team
We Know That Everybody Dances
a workshop with Nicola Conibere
Alone yet collectively we moved together, exploring the space, exploring ourselves and exploring one another. A quiet investigation.
Put quite beautifully by a fellow workshop participant, the experience of working with Nicola was 'generous'. Our generosity as a group to create, organise and dismantle.
We were made aware of our bodies. Our presence in the space, and the impact and imprint when we leave. Creating whole group structures we took the time to understand our bodies' needs. Understanding our relationship to the movement, however not being afraid to abandon it all and start again.
The workshop caught me off guard, showing how strongly we can relate to other bodies, bodies that are not made up of the same codified language as ours. Bodies that do not share the same voice and are instead confronted by a language barrier.
Her Juncture performance of Assembly promises to host these qualities and explore the personal connections between performers and spectators, generously giving just as she did throughout her workshop. Creating, organising and dismantling we transformed alone yet collectively.

Wow… preceptorship… I learned SO MUCH! I absolutely loved my preceptor, the floor I was on, the staff, the computer charting system… just everything about it!
I must be honest, I was very nervous for my first shift, but I felt ready to get it started. I was initially assigned to a nurse, a new grad himself, not yet a nurse for a full two years which led me being assigned to a new nurse who was young, and oh so smart! Not saying that the first preceptor wasn't. Both were very knowledgable… it was my school's policy to be paired with a nurse who had more experience.
You can click here to read what happened in the beginning of my preceptorship. Come back and continue reading after you have read that post.
So as you can see… I was stressed out. I was overwhelmed about the thought about being a new nurse and on my own. I felt so unprepared. In a nursing program, you are taught everything by the book. Preceptorship is a wake up call as to how nursing really is in the real world. I realize nursing programs try to teach in way that it will be as close to the real world as possible, but unless you are one-on-one with a nurse and taking on all the patients, and doing absolutely EVERYTHING in EVERY clinical from start to finish, it is not a clear representation.
I do however believe I have learned a lot in my program. Unfortunately, there is not a nursing program that can get in so much depth about each specialty. Luckily, there are nurse residency programs/transition into practice programs/new grad programs available to train you and prepare you for your specific unit you get hired onto, and to train you on the hospitals policies and procedures, as well as their charting system, and much much more.
I am so fortunate to have had a preceptorship that was so useful to me, and really opened up my eyes to a cardiac step down unit. I had a 4:1 patient ratio, and that was plenty! Although, most days were very relaxed, I wish I had a really crazy day that required me to be on my feet the whole shift… just so that I could have the experience before going into a new grad program and don't make a fool of myself… LOL!
My preceptor was the sweetest, most patient, and caring preceptor ever. I honestly wish every preceptee has a preceptor like her because I learned a TON. She tells it how it is, but makes sure I am not under too much stress. She understood when I wanted more autonomy and independence. She made my preceptorship a great one.
Tips for Preceptorship:
- Find a brain sheet that works for you. My preceptor used a blank sheet and folded it in 3's, and used each row for a different patient. I personally like this brain sheet: BrainSheet
- Be comfortable. If you have the option to wear your own scrubs for preceptorship, DO IT. I unfortunately was still told to wear a white shirt (not our usual uniform one, with our patch put on it) and the "hospital" blue pants. Does that make sense? HA!
- Always have your stethoscope, favorite pen(s), pen light, sharpie, tape, alcohol swabs, 2×2 gauze, and flushes with you. I usually start my shift off with 5 flushes in my pocket so that I can assess IV patency if the patient is saline locked, and a handful of alcohol swabs because… that is just a given… need it for cleaning ports, taking off tape, prepping for a finger stick, the list goes on.
- Wear good shoes (and compression socks). I put compression socks in parenthesis because I should've used them throughout my preceptorship, but I didn't. I have worn them before because they really do help with circulation, and help with less swelling by the end of the shift. My shoes were also so comfy. Click here for the shoes I wore for clinical/preceptorship.
- Always have a watch. I personally love my Apple watch, but it is absolutely not needed, it is a "want", not a "need". I am going to try and do something with the "Notes" app in which you can put medication safe dose ranges on it and it connects to your Apple watch. I got the idea from Nurse Nacole (Nacole Riccaboni). Follow her on Instagram, she's awesome! @nursenacole).
- Always keep hair ties if your have long hair.
- Hydrate and eat! Don't go hungry and always give yourself a break (wise words from my preceptor). Whether you think you need a break or not, TAKE IT WHEN YOU CAN! Your brain will thank you!
- Don't get alarm fatigue!
- Learn how to prioritize and have time management. Time management is always an area to grow in (also wise words from my preceptor).
- Know your patient's disease process (inside and out) and critically think about their whole situation, medications, procedures, tests, labs, etc.
- Address the family too! They need the support as well. Do this by letting them know what you are doing, what medications are being given to the patient, what procedure(s) you are performing, informing the family of what the patients plan is, answering questions to the best of your ability, offering spiritual care, case management, social worker… you get it. It keeps the family at ease when they are "in-the-know" too. Just be aware of HIPAA!
- Treat your patients as if they were your own family and be their advocate.
- Always ask questions, and never do something without being sure. Be safe, not sorry!
- Trust your gut. Just do it… trust me.
I am sure I can add a lot more to this list of tips, but you would be here forever.
Overall, after this preceptorship, I really felt ready to get into the real world of nursing and enter a new grad program to work on cardiac step down unit (I love the heart!), my preceptor really helped me believe in myself. You may not feel like you know what you are doing, but you wouldn't have gotten this far if you didn't! Right? Once you start doubting yourself is when you start making mistakes.
If you are going into your preceptorship soon, just know that all of your emotions are real and totally normal. You may be scared, you may be intimidated, but you will make it! I believe in you! ❤
I hope you have a fantastic day and please e-mail me if you have any questions! I am happy to help because I care!
(FYI 6 days left until my graduation/pinning ceremony! But who's counting…;) )

Kirsha Kaechele, known in the New Orleans art community for her avant-garde work post-Katrina, has curated a new exhibit in the St. Roch neighborhood that aims to get guns off the street and local youth into a brand-new recording studio.
Called "The Embassy," the conceptual art project debuted Saturday with a "no questions asked" gun buyback program funded by Kaechele and her husband, David Walsh, owner of the Museum of Old and New Art in Australia. The couple donated $100,000 toward the effort, making it what organizers call the biggest gun buyback program in New Orleans history.
"We appreciate the partnership," said the Rev. Norwood Thompson, who joined with Kaechele and the Greater New Orleans-Jefferson Gun Buy Back Committee to organize the event.
Thompson has worked since 1995 to get guns off the street with buyback programs, but he said Saturday that he had never before gotten a donation as big as Kaechele's.
"It's brought (the buyback effort) back to life again," he said.
The program offered $75 for a handgun, $150 for a rifle and $250 for an assault rifle from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday in the 1200 block of Franklin Avenue.
It was only a small part of the exhibition, however. Its longer-lasting counterpart, a free recording studio, also debuted Saturday a few blocks away in what used to be a car wash.
Called Gun Metal Records Studio, the "safe haven" opened Saturday afternoon with an anti-violence parade and ceremony, featuring a procession of Mardi Gras Indian tribe queens led by Maroon Queen Cherice Harrison-Nelson, of the Guardians of the Flame Maroon Society.
Joining the Indians were the McDonogh 35 High School majorettes, the 504 Boyz Horse Club and a local motorcycle and car club. Several local rappers, including 5th Ward Weebie and Partners-N-Crime, also were slated to perform songs focused on nonviolence.
According to Kaechele, the purpose of both the procession and the studio, which is open free to the public, is to create community and alleviate the shootings, murders and other violence that has long afflicted the 8th Ward area.
"It raises awareness. We've really tried hard to give people a safe place to make change without punishment," Kaechele said as she perused the hundreds of guns that had piled up in the buyback part of the exhibit. After being displayed briefly, they were placed in garbage cans and rolled out the back door to be destroyed. "It's an opportunity to trade killing for opportunity, and for the youth to find their voice," she said.
Based at the recording studio, which is painted in bright purple with purple-and-white-striped floors, the multifaceted project opened in conjunction with Prospect.3, an international art festival that has made its name in New Orleans since the first version opened in 2008. The studio isn't officially one of the 18 selected Prospect.3 sites, but with a roster of local artistic heavyweights and celebrities, the venture promises to draw attention.
Claire Tancons, a freelance curator who used to work for the Contemporary Arts Center, worked with Delaney Martin to put together Saturday's "Public Practice: An Anti-Violence Community Ceremony" procession. Martin curated the popular Bywater installation "The Music Box: A Shantytown Sound Laboratory."
Also on hand, coordinating efforts between the buyback location and the recording studio, was former NBA player and New Orleans native Randy Livingston.
"It's an awesome project," Livingston said, adding that he remembers living in the city and seeing friends die from gun violence. "If we can help just one life, this program will be successful. If we can stop just one murder, it's a success."
Hip-hop recording artist Corey Smith, who goes by his stage name Mr. Serv-On, agreed. Serv-On, who was one of the first rappers to sign on to No Limit Records, said he joined the effort with the hope of mentoring youth and other community members who want to get involved in the music business.
While the art festival is slated to end Jan. 25, Serv-On and other organizers hope the studio will have a lasting legacy. To that end, organizers will pick 10 to 12 of the best songs recorded in the studio and release them on a single album that can be sold to raise money for the community.
Serv-On said he also hopes some residents will stumble upon potential careers as rappers or producers, finding a way to make money without turning to drugs or gang activity.
"I want to help youth realize their dreams, give them a chance," Serv-On said as he finished setting up a bright gold recording room in the studio. "This is a place where they can come in, get off the streets. They can get out their anger, get out their hurt."
And according to Kaechele, that cathartic experience is the entire point of her artistic endeavor.
"The music and the ambiance, the dramatic lighting and the guns piling up … it's really a reverence for a release of our own tools of violence," Kaechele said.

Start spending time together to stop summer learning loss!
Hello everybody! It's Amanda again. I'm one of Istation's Implementation Specialists and I was asked to share some ideas about keeping young minds active during this well-deserved break from school.
I hope you'll use these summer months to think of fun and exciting ways to incorporate reading into family time! I still remember bedtime stories my mom and dad would read to me. Some of my favorites were Good Night Moon and the Critters books. This time was such a great opportunity not only to bond with my parents, but also to develop a love of reading at an early age.
You may think kids don't need or want this time once they become readers of their own. Quite the opposite! As a 5th grade reading teacher, my students constantly asked to have "read aloud" time. This helps developing readers build comprehension, fluency, vocabulary and much more! If you have older kids, set aside time for a family reading night and read a chapter or two of one of your favorite childhood novels. The classics never go out of style. Talk about the characters as if you were living during their time period and how your lives might be different. There are so many conversations that can spark just from a great story!
Here are some more great ideas that some Istation employees shared about using history and your own family history to promote literacy all summer long:
- Help your child create a family tree and have him or her draw pictures of family members.
- Ask your child to describe a family member or friend and then let you guess who it is.
- Pull out old family photos and ask your child to write captions for them, or ask your child to write a short story using the names of the people in the photos.
- Ask your child to list individuals in US or world history that are the most interesting to them, and have them explain why.
- Visit historical landmarks in your area or while on vacation and discuss the significance.
If you have ideas of your own, we want to hear from you! Share them on facebook, or tweet us using #IstationEd. Have a great summer!

Lebala means 'wide open spaces', and the elegant Lebala Camp is located in 2,320 kms2 of private unfenced wilderness area in the Kwando Reserve in the Okavango Delta's grasslands. Set amongst vast plains scattered with Illala Palms, Lebala Camp offers superb wildlife sightings with elephant, hippo, giraffe, lion and buffalo all plentiful. Spotlights switched on at night give guests a glimpse of elusive nocturnal species, including leopard. A staff of 22 caters to the guests' needs, and Lebala Camp has a swimming pool and a game viewing hide on site.
The wetlands and flood plains around Lebala offer a wonderful variety of wildlife with excellent sightings of elephant, hippo, lechwe, zebra, giraffe, impala, wildebeest, kudu, tsessebe, roan, sable, buffalo and the ever present predators; wild dog, lion, cheetah and hyena. After dark, spotlights are switched on and the game drives expose our guests to nocturnal sightings of rare and elusive species such as, leopard, Selous Mongoose, small spotted genet, and aardwolf, to name a few. Nocturnal bird species that are encountered include Natal Nightjar, Pennantwinged Nightjar and a large variety of owls.
Room Types
En-Suite Tents
There are eight spacious, luxurious tents set on raised teak sundecks and featuring an entrance foyer, large bedroom and living area. The rooms are on raised Zimbabwean teak decks, and access is via the front veranda. Each tent is surrounded by shade cloth walls, with a variety of curtains and shades, so you can decide how much light you want to let in. There is a spacious bedroom area, a bathroom area which includes double basins, a claw-foot bathtub a separate toilet and an outside double shower. The rooms are kept cool with a combination on overhanging thatch, gauze windows to let the breeze flow through and fans.
Game Drives – Day and Night
Game drives are undertaken in custom designed Toyota game viewing vehicles seating no more than six guests at a time in 3 rows of 3 seats. Guests are guided by a two person team of professional guide and tracker – a special feature of the Kwando Safaris wildlife experience. The two person team enables the guide to communicate points of interest and the complex interrelations that exist throughout the natural world, while the tracker ensures no sightings or tracks are missed.
The evening/ night drives are a Kwando Safaris speciality. The drive starts in the late afternoon as the sun's rays are dipping to the west and the day's heat is declining. After a leisurely pause for the traditional sundowner, and as the African day is transformed into a soft colourful evening canvas, the night drive begins. The mystery unfolds as the creatures of the night, especially the predators, are revealed by spotlight, often unexpectedly.
Walking Safaris
Walking in Africa's wild areas is the only way to truly appreciate the natural environment. While game viewing from a vehicle allows one to see more animals as you traverse much greater distances and get much closer to animals safely, there is nothing as awe inspiring and humbling as observing wild animals on foot. Many smaller species of plants and insects, tracks and signs are all easily missed when in a vehicle. The slow pace of the walk and interpretative skills of your guide will open your eyes to a new and fascinating world.
Game walks are not hikes; they are slow comfortable strolls meant to provide you with a chance to experience the wilderness at a natural pace. Any walk can be combined with a game drive or mokoro and the length of walk can be adjusted to suit your personal desires or level of fitness.
Walks may be limited in the dry season due to the large elephant population in the region at that time.
Would you like some advice?
If you have travelled with us before you will know we love nothing more than creating bespoke safari adventures across Africa and beyond. If you're yet to do so please get in touch, we're here to help.

Many people aren't that interested in history. I on the other hand, absolutely love and value history. Because of this, I thoroughly despise so called "historians" who are in reality just manipulative revisionists. There's nothing wrong with researching in attempts to develop better understanding of the past. However, it's an insult to historians and a threat to society when people intentionally try to rewrite history with unsubstantiated claims and even worse, promote outright lies.
I Swear, people need to just stop accepting revisionist Civil War propaganda as historical fact!
Yesterday, as I'm wasting away another hour of my life watching YouTube videos, I stumbled upon a video entitled: A Tribute To Our Black Confederate Heroes. Obviously, the agenda of this video is the attempt to show that blacks willingly fought and died for the Confederacy in order to "protect Southern rights" and fight against the "Northern oppression". The overwhelming majority of historical research about the American Civil War clearly indicates that the fundamental cause of the rebellion was over the morality issue of slavery. For over 150 years, some revisionists have attempted to rewrite the history books and assert that the Civil War was fought merely over the seemingly innocent issue of states' rights. Even though all efforts have failed miserably, some continue to try to encourage revisionist propaganda.
As to the video, one of the photos in the slideshow has been used by revisionists as the "holy grail" of evidence for quite a while. Sadly, the proven truth of this photo doesn't deter people from clinging to it as evidence to support their false claims. The photo in question allegedly depicts the 1st Louisiana Native Guard, a Confederate militia of "free persons of color". The reality of the matter is that this photo actually depicts the 25th United States Colored Troops in 1864, two years after the Confederate 1st LNG disbanded and was semi-incorporated into the Union 1st LNG. To date, no authentic photographs of the Confederate unit have been found.
Did the Confederate unit exist? Sure, there's enough documented written evidence to confirm this. But the myth of the unit is what drives revisionists to use it at the center of their claim. That myth is the existence of highly trained, organized, well-equipped combat units of blacks fighting for the Confederacy. The reality is that this unit was comprised of free blacks and other men of color (New Orleans had a large Creole population) who were of relative prominence….far from the slaves who supposedly fought to defend the Southern "way of life". In fact, the 1st LNG was never even deployed for combat but essentially served Confederate propaganda purposes.
Generally speaking, did blacks fight for the Confederacy? Yes, but again this fact has been propagated into myths. While there were some small amounts of both free and enslaved blacks who were listed as Confederate soldiers, the truth is that large majority never held a rifle or saw combat but instead were mostly pressed into service as laborers. But why does it even matter at all? Why are some so bent on rewriting history and promoting this claim that blacks (both freedmen and slaves) fought to defend the Confederacy? Justification.
If the South seceded from the Union because of states' rights, what was the "right" that they felt the federal government was trying to oppress? Well, it was of course the notion that the states had the right to tolerate (in reality, promote) the institution of slavery. It took a while, but the civilized world finally realized that it was immoral to oppress other humans (via slavery) because of their skin color. Great Britain banned slavery in 1833. This set the stage for the abolitionist movement in the United States to really explode. The South's economy was dependent on slavery and without it, they could never compete with the manufacturing industries of the Northern states, which would ironically lead to the "enslaving" of those who so strongly advocated slavery. I'm convinced that southerners greatly feared this reality. They knew very well the negative results of the oppressive nature of slavery seeing as they were engaged in the practice. Of course the only way they could stop this from happening was to fight to protect their only way out of the inevitable. History shows that they merely just delayed that inevitability and the near complete destruction of the Southern infrastructure resulting from the war only added to their struggles.
But again, what's the REAL underlying message here? Some will not or cannot come to grips with the fact that slavery was wrong and that for decades, Americans (mostly in the South) tolerated and advocated an oppressive, immoral institution all for the means of their own benefit. Guilt. That is the reason for the need to rewrite this terribly dark era of not only United States history, but also human history.
We all have to accept the reality that over the course of history, humans have made mistakes. It is only once we can fully recognize our past failings that we can truly work to right the wrongs of our ancestors and strive to create a better world for our children.

EFT focuses on emotions and the way we deal with them. It also puts emphasis on the self and the importance of past relationships. EFT is based on the idea that many mental and physical health concerns are caused by avoiding emotions and pretending that everything is okay, or by not getting our emotional needs met. EFT helps individuals resolve unpleasant emotions by working with these emotions instead of suppressing them. It uses the unpleasant emotions as a source of information. EFT focuses on how you experience problems and what they trigger you to do as a way of coping with your emotions.
EFT is offered in individual, couples or family format. Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) was first developed for eating disorders. Recently the use of EFFT has expanded to involve other treatment areas.
In EFFT, parents learn how to be the emotion coach and recovery coach for their child. EFFT sees a child as a child, no matter the age. The bond between parent and child is a key part of the therapy. EFFT explores any fears or blocks that stop parents from supporting their child. It helps the whole family to believe they can reach their goal. It also works with miscues such as, "I don't want my parents involved in my treatment," which can often mean "I want my parents involved in my treatment, but I'm afraid that it won't go well for any of us."
What types of challenges are best suited for EFT?
EFT is especially effective for the following types of challenges and disorders:
How long will it take?
This depends on the individual, but usually EFT lasts for 16 -20 weeks.

Wake is the title of the body of work that I've recently wrapped up into the first half of what will be a two-chapter story.
I recently received the InFocus grant to help complete the rest of the work; you can read the running statement for the project at their website.
I decided to make some pictures of the first copy of the "book." The work is actually encased in a handmade box that reads like a book, as shown below.
Please don't mind the uneven lighting coming from my window.
For now, I plan on making between 5 and 10 copies and circulating them like a library would, with a due date of two or three weeks or so.
The book consists of 45 spreads, roughly 85 pages, split fairly evenly between text and image; it takes some time to finish.
Unfortunately, this personal experience of the book will be available to only Chicagoans for now.
However, I've created a low resolution PDF version of the book for the non-Chicagoans that are interested in reading it.
If you would like to be a part of any of this, please e-mail me through the contact section of my website or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Day 8. Katherine to Kununurra
Katherine RiverKatherine River from the old low level bridge. Firstly an apology for the delay in getting day 8 out to everyone. Life got in the way along with Windows 10 subject of a separate post. but on with the motley!
Day 8 started cool but soon warmed up. We had a late start and a full breakfast. 9am saw us ready to go, heading for the WA border and the Victoria River crossing for an ice cream and comfort break. As with all good plans reality got in the way. We were just diverting to the Katherine river, low level crossing when I discovered I'd left my photo jacket at the at the resort. I let Jamie know and after a brief consultation with Colin the coach headed back. Fortunately it wasn't far to go and I recovered the garment and very sheepishly apologised to everyone as I returned to my seat. The crossing was quite pretty as you can see from the photo. During the wet season this is a raging torrent and you can see evidence of this quite high in the trees.
Victoria RiverVictoria River. Looking down from our coach on the new high level bridge, to the old bridge and the river beyond. The trip to Victoria River was uneventful and we pulled into the roadhouse parking place and stretched our legs. I grabbed my camera bag and strolled down a narrow path hemmed in by tall reeds and grasses, stamping my feet for the benefit of anything nasty that might have been lurking. The path came out at the old low level bridge and provided an interesting perspective on the new high level bridge and the river which at this time of year was low and placid. The obligatory pics taken, I returned and wandered around the roadhouse area. The view across a paddock of cut and rolled hay and on to some rocky cliff outcrops made an almost pastoral scene in the bright sun and under blue skies. Snacks and Magnums consumedTimber CreekTimber Creek
we headed of toward lunch at Timber Creek.
This was the last stop until we got into Kununurra and the luxurious Ivanhoe Caravan Village. Here we moved into our well equipped cabins. A hot shower a change of clothes and a cold tipple made the long drive from Katherine disappear. We were now into the Kimberley and looking forward to two and a half days of sightseeing around our fixed base. Tomorrow morning we embark for a cruise on Lake Kununurra. but we had more eating and socialising to finish of this day. Our large Dining tent had been assembled and Colin, the owner of this site was preparing wild caught Barramundi for dinner, Yum.

From Oakville, Ontario, Canada:
My 12 year old son has had type 1 for 4 years. My concern is the large amounts of insulin he seems to require relative to other people we know with diabetes. He weights 105 pounds and his blood sugars are in relatively good control. His last A1c, before switching to Lantus, was 7.6. He now takes 42 units of Lantus at bedtime and 1.5 units of Humalog for every 15 grams of carbohydrates. I don't know of anyone his size or age that requires more than 25 units of long-acting insulin per day. Will his requirements increase as he gets older? Is it possible that he will become insulin intolerant if he has such high requirements?
It sounds as though there may be some insulin resistance. Some with type 1 diabetes do have it and puberty makes it worse. It is unlikely he will stop responding to insulin; it just may take more.
Also, who is giving the insulin? Sometimes children do not take all the prescribed insulin. It sounds harsh, but it happens. Be sure all the correct dose of insulin is being taken.
