Thoughts on technology and innovation
Sig VanDamme, Founder
After completing the Scan Phase of NimbleUser's Culture upgrade (where we surveyed the state of our current culture), the NimbleUser Culture Club team moved on to phase 2 of our WorkXO Genome Culture Upgrade - the DECODE Phase.
NimbleUser Joins Community Brands - A Culture Wrinkle?
Shortly after the scan phase, NimbleUser was acquired by Community Brands. What affect would this have on our valued culture? Research on Community Brands showed that our culture and values are very closely aligned. Community Brand's core values of commitment, innovation, pursuit of excellence, and diversity are already part and parcel of the NimbleUser cultural DNA.
Reinforce or Fix?
The primary output of the DECODE phase is to draft a set of Culture Upgrade priorities that identify the very specific aspects of our culture that:
Our Findings
Through a series of orchestrated exercises that took about 4 hours (long but very productive time), we dove into determining what the current state of the culture is, and what it should be in the future to drive success within the organization.
What Is Our Culture?
During the first exercise to help us explore what our current culture is, the team highlighted things in the Workplace Genome results that surprised them, concerned them, or sparked energy within them.
There was a high level of agreement within the team that our culture was a key piece of what makes NimbleUser a great place to work. Here are a few of our findings in these categories:
What Should Our Culture Be?
In the second exercise, we took a deeper dive into what NimbleUser's success drivers are, and here are a few of our findings:
What Must Our Culture Be?
The third exercise was to match our current culture with our perfect future state that will drive NimbleUser's success in the future. Our findings:
Next Up - UPGRADE!
Up next, the NimbleUser culture club will take on the UPGRADE phase. This phase is all about finalizing the Culture Playbook and mapping out implementation of plays. Some of these plays will be defensive, meaning they shore up the cultural principles that matter the most; and some will be offensive, meaning they identify plans for meaningful change better suited to our evolving business environment.
The Playbook can contain low hanging fruit, meaningful improvements, and big ideas for long term change - based on our needs. The implementation of the plays will result in the outcomes our team desires: deeper relationships with our customers, more innovation, a happier and more productive (and dare we say, nimble) team.

Of all the help you can give your child, the most important job you'll probably do is helping with reading. That's because learning to read is best taught on a one-to-one basis, so giving your child a bit of shared reading time every day will make a big difference.
Reading should be fun – that way it will be more effective. Here are some tips:

I recently spoke with Forbes' contributor Bonnie Marcus about my new memoir DARING: MY PASSAGES.
"Whether or not we are born with fears or learn them is the subject of ongoing debate with psychologists. Most experts will agree, however, that our fears limit how successful we are in our relationships and careers.
In her memoir Daring: My Passages, author Gail Sheehy tells her personal story of overcoming her fears and examines what allowed her to persevere when she had setbacks and failures. It wasn't until she completed the manuscript for the book that she realized that it was daring; daring to take risks despite her fear.
As the debate continues over whether or not women's lack of confidence or hesitancy to take risks holds them back from career advancement, Gail's story and subsequent Daring Project serve as an inspirational model for women to dare to take the risks that will lead to more fulfilling careers and lives.
I spoke with Gail recently about her own journey, how she developed the courage to conquer her fears, and how taking risks contributed to her tremendous success as a journalist and author."

Now that you have checked with your doctor and you know for sure that you have GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), you are going to have to raid your pantry and find GERD foods to avoid!
There are many foods which your stomach is not strong enough to take and you should be aware of those, to avoid any future severe heartburn confrontations.
Although GERD is different for everyone, due to varying acid tolerance, most sufferers stay away from the same main foods. First, steer clear of carbonated sodas, citrus drinks, and teas. They are filled with acid which can easily flow right down your esophagus and into your stomach leading to pain from acid reflux!
If you are concerned with the vitamin C loss from your favorite citrus drinks, consider taking vitamin supplements at mealtimes and you won't miss a thing (except the heartburn).
Soups are fine to eat as long as they are not "cream-style", tomato, or even vegetable. Those tend to be too fatty which can also be bad for your damaged stomach. Fatty foods can often lead to an exacerbation of GERD symptoms. They definitely make it on the list of GERD foods to avoid.
Another group of foods which are known trouble-makers are the seemingly innocent flavors of spearmint, peppermint, chocolate, and chewing gum. Sure you probably think that doesn't make any sense… you don't even swallow gum! But what you do swallow is your saliva as you chew that gum. That constant swallowing of saliva is dangerous because of an automatic setting in your stomach which is designed to produce a set amount of acid to help break down the foods when you swallow.
When you chew gum you swallow the saliva your body is producing, but what is there to break down; nothing but the interior and lining of your stomach. Once you get the hang of it, you'll know what you can and can not have and specifically what GERD foods to avoid.
Basically the main foods to avoid are foods that are high in fats, oils, or acidic content. Now you're probably looking at that list and thinking, "That's my whole pantry" but really, it's not as bad as it sounds.
There are many foods which you can still enjoy without the harmful side-effects. Breads, grains, chicken, fish, turkey, and one percent milk are all acceptable! Plus most all fruits are low in fat; therefore fruits don't contain eating restrictions.
So go ahead, eat another one of those apples but keep away from the GERD foods to avoid!

My Dearest Mother, I am so heart broken I don't know where to start. You were the best Mom anyone could have ever had.
You worked so hard for your kids to make sure we had whatever we needed. You would even give the shirt off your back to help a stranger. I don't know how I will make it without you to talk to every day, I am at a very low point in my life, i knew it would be hard but never thought it would be this hard. I wish I could see your beautiful face, hear your voice and hold your hand and tell you how much I love you. MOM, I love you so much and I miss you more than you will ever know. I hope you are happy because that's all I ever wanted for you. I know these lasts years were hard for you because you couldn't climb that tree or ride a bike that you wanted to do so badly but we all knew you could because you are very determined. You were REALLY the best MOM ever and always. Rest in Peace Mom, I love you always and forever.

Cyclists hand fundraising cheque to JDRF
A team of cyclists who covered 180 miles during a bike ride have raised more than £1,000 for the diabetes charity JDRF.
The bikers, from Nipro Medical Europe which makes blood glucose meters, also raised nearly £500 for the University Hospitals of NHS Trust.
The cyclists set out last year in November from the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital and on the same day, the team at the company's head office in Fareham, began a cyclathon which meant keeping a bike spinning for the whole working day.
Their target was to beat the mileage which the team on the road would be covering.
The team on the ground, made up of Loz Rawlings-Johnson, Ryan Wilkes and Sam Healy, completed 100 miles on the first day before they settled in Stamford over night. They then travelled via Leicester the next day, where they were met at Leicester General Hospital by staff who fed them cake and coffee, before finishing the final leg in Birmingham.
However, the cyclists who had endured cramp and exhaustion throughout the bike ride, were forced to stop just over a mile away from the end and a Primary Care Diabetes Society committee champagne reception due to an accident.
Colin Campbell, who travelled alongside the cyclists in the support vehicle, said: "They were cycling through a private residential estate to avoid all the motorways around Birmingham. The light was poor and as Loz went over a speed bump at about 20mph he fell forwards and was injured.
"He sustained a complex collarbone fracture and head injuries. He's being operated on later this week, but he's ok. He's up and about."
Despite that, Colin said the entire team did well and they were all overwhelmed by the support they received.
"A special mention goes to the Holiday Inn in Birmingham following the ride. Staff there baked cakes and sold them in reception to raise money for JDRF, which we thought was a great idea and very supportive to what we were doing."

Can we take a minute to talk about crucifixes and why Catholics use them so much more often than empty crosses?
A crucifix hanging on a living room wall immediately informs visitors that this is a CATHOLIC house. Why is that so important? What's the big difference?
"He is risen! Get over it!"
"Why do you Catholics revel in Jesus being on the cross? It's so negative."
Do we? Do we really revel in it?
I'd be hard pressed to find any Catholic that gazed on a cross to think… "Yep, that is a beautiful image I could look at all day."
It's the exact opposite. The crucifix evokes from us a visceral reaction. The sorrow and contrition I feel when I look at a crucifix is soon followed by gratitude for His sacrifice. This is not a reaction that wears off with more exposure to the same image.
How can one's heart not be affected by the image of a flesh and blood man in such agony? If one's first response to that image is "why?" follow through to the answer… for us! That's why! He died for us because His love for us is so deep that He would do anything to save us. That pain and suffering, the rejection and humiliation… why would you want to forget that?
Because that's what's easy. It's hard to look at a cross and empathize. Or maybe it's too hard to look upon and feel worthy of that love.
Jesus's crucifixion should not be minimized, swept away or forgotten. He sacrificed for us. An act that was impactful enough to be remembered for millennia and powerful enough to defeat sin can't just be skipped over because it makes us feel uncomfortable.
And if through that discomfort we are drawn into the sacraments of the Eucharist and confession, then all the better.
So yes, an empty cross is a powerful reminder of Christ's victory over death. But a crucifix reminds us of the cost of our redemption. It's the price that was paid for our sins that we should never, ever forget.
Post Script:
Not long after I posted this, a priest friend of mine stated that yes, indeed the crucifixion is beautiful. Here is his comment in full (Thank you for watching out for me all your sheep, Fr. Dana Christensen!)
Interesting read.
There is one thing that is bothering me though, and I think it's important for our understanding of the crucifixion and death of Jesus. The quote from the post is: "I'd be hard pressed to find any Catholic that gazed on a cross to think… "Yep, that is a beautiful image I could look at all day.""
Many of the saints and mystics of the Church talk about the beauty of Christ upon the cross. The beauty comes not from the horror of what we see, but from the complete gift of self out of love that is there under the horror.
As a priest, I often have the privilege of being with people as they suffer horribly at the approach of death. There are times where the sadness and the pain are mingled with a mystic beauty that his hard to describe. There is a beauty in the way that they are "birthed," through pain, into eternal life. I also see it at funerals, where maybe a man who normally is very stoic loses it and weeps openly. There is deep sadness and grief, but there is a beauty that lies beneath it.
So, should Catholics gaze on upon a crucifix and say that is a beautiful image? YES! There is a great, deep, heavy beauty there – the beauty of self sacrificing love. Another way express this might be the words of St. Paul when he says "we glory in the cross of Christ." Indeed, we do glory in the cross and the love that is expressed there.
Thus endeth my theologizing for today.

CAIRO – Egypt state media says a bomb has gone off in a church in the Nile Delta, causing casualties.
The MENA news agency attributed the report to unnamed Interior Ministry officials, who provided no further details.
The explosion took place in the town of Tanta as Coptic Christians were marking Palm Sunday. Christians make up around 10 percent of Egypt's population and have repeatedly been targeted by Islamic extremists.

Toasted Skillet 6-Grain Cereal
Printed from healthyfamilycookin.blogspot.com
*Makes 1 Quart
A crunchy granola type cereal that is delicious plain. Or I like to eat it with milk or yogurt and fruit on top. My choices of fruit would be berries (dried or fresh) or peaches.
6 Tbsp. salted butter (or 1/3 Cup coconut oil plus 1/4 tsp. salt)
3 Tbsp. honey
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 Cups 6-Grain rolled cereal (or alternately use old fashioned rolled oats)
1/2 Cup chopped nuts (my choices would be walnuts, almonds, or pecans)
1/2 Cup toasted coconut chips, optional*
In a large skillet over medium heat melt butter (or coconut oil plus salt) and honey. Add vanilla and mix together. Add 6-grain rolled cereal and chopped nuts and stir until combined. Turn down heat slightly and roast cereal until golden brown about 10-15 minutes. Stir often so the cereal doesn't burn, especially near the end of cooking time. Let cereal cool. It will crisp up as it cools until it is nice and crunchy. Add the coconut flakes, if using. Store in an air-tight container for up to two weeks.

Matt Crowson established The Modern Man, an online men's grooming and fashion store, in 2009 with his business partner. Initially, the business was run as a sideline, with Matt continuing to work in a separate IT-related role. Today, the business totals 11 people with everyone aside from the two directors joining as an apprentice. Here, Matt tells us what apprentices have brought to his business and why he chose apprenticeships as a recruitment route.
"When I first left my IT job to focus on The Modern Man, I ran the enterprise from my bedroom. Once we were a bit more established, we moved to Bristol and there was so much work I just couldn't do it by myself. Affordability was one aspect of choosing the apprenticeship route but we also thought it would be a good option to find employees who'd stick with us. I was concerned that a graduate may be in and out in six months."
Matt, who had been paying a marketing company to spread news of the Modern Man, decided that the cash would be better spent on having a dedicated marketing apprentice. He recruited Stuart Voisey and quickly appreciated the benefits, as he explains:
"Stuart's arrival meant we could manage additional work and orders started to increase dramatically, to the point where we hired our second apprentice, Nathan Dorney about four months later. Ever since then we've hired apprentices in a variety of roles within marketing, administration, accounting and the warehouse."
In fact, both Stuart and Nathan have proven themselves to be exceptionally valuable members of staff. In his first year at The Modern Man, Stuart was shortlisted in the Apprentice of the Year Awards and named runner-up in the South West. Nathan's Tdesign work meanwhile, has seen the company reach the finals of the UK Packaging Awards; The Modern Man has been nominated along with its supplier DS Smith Packaging, to win an award in the Online Retail and Consumer Goods category. This is excellent news for Matt, and the apprentices have also had an impressive impact on that factor that can make or break an SME; the bottom line. He says:
"The business has grown 700% in the last two years – growth that can be attributed almost solely to the work of apprentice employees. Depending on the role an employer wants to fill, I would certainly recommend apprenticeships as a recruitment route. I went to university and didn't get a 'proper' job until I was a bit older. So, when I think of what I was doing at the age our apprentices are now, I didn't have anywhere near the responsibility – they're very advanced for their age. The average age in our business is just 19, including me and I'm 30!"

Bishop Eric Menees
This last Sunday the gospel lesson was taken from the eleventh chapter of Luke, which begins with the shortened version of the Lord's Prayer – or perhaps what should be called the "Disciple's Prayer" – Jesus said; "When you pray, say…"
"Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation." (Luke 11:2-4 ESV) It is impossible for us to understand how outrageous this prayer would have sounded to first-century Jewish ears. To refer to Yahweh as Father – Abba – Papi would have presumed a familiarity that would have been offensive. But that is exactly what Jesus was saying – that we, the disciples of Jesus, are the adopted children of God (John 1:12). Let's examine this prayer:
ABBA. Father. You can guarantee that John the Baptist never prayed to God saying "ABBA." Too few of us accept our place as God's adopted children, choosing to keep our relationships formal and distant. But clearly Jesus is inviting us into a relationship that is both profoundly intimate and transcendent at the same time.
"…hallowed be your name." We must honor and give reverence to God's name! We must take this relationship seriously. However we must also remember that ours is not an unknowable Heavenly Father. But one whose name is holy as is His character – His attributes – His perfection. Jesus refers to this when he says in his prayer, "[28] Father, glorify your name." Then a voice came from heaven: "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again." (John 12:28 ESV) It is not we who glorify or make holy God's name – God does it!
Your kingdom come! What does this mean - your kingdom come?
On the one hand - we're asking for God's rule and reign to continually advance in our hearts and lives here and now. On the other hand – we're asking for God's sovereign to break into a fallen world – not just the individual lives of believers but the lives of all people. Of course, God began to answer that prayer with Jesus' incarnation – His birth – and he will complete that prayer with Jesus' second coming! Ultimately this is where the trust starts coming in. If we are going to allow God to be our King we need to trust the king!
Give us each day our daily bread… God's perfect provision isn't simply for our stomachs, but for all the believers needs. Remembering that our needs and our desires are not the same.
We've discovered over and over again as people are preparing to step out of their properties at just the right moment God opens up the right place.
And you know what? God's provision is always perfect and sufficient.
I think of when I first stepped out of the Episcopal Church in San Diego. The Bishop of San Diego gave an interview to the newspaper.
The following week an anonymous check arrived for $10,000 from someone in Maryland who read the article online and wanted to support us. A new person showed up the first Sunday – again based on the newspaper article – he was a retired sheriff's deputy and a wonderful wood worker. After the service he said, "Hey if your interested I can build you an altar, lectern, credence table, tabernacle and processional cross!" And he did! Could I have every guessed that things like that would happen? NO but when we Trust in the Lord he comes though.
And forgive us our sins… This prayer is not the initial forgiveness of sin that we receive in Salvation when we invite Christ into our lives and accept his love and forgiveness. This prayer recognizes our need for regular confession of the ways we've missed the mark and put ourselves before the Lord. Regularly asking for forgiveness is a very helpful reminder of our sinfulness and need for forgiveness. When we are aware of our sinfulness we stop making excuses for our selves and rely upon God's Grace and love.
This prayer is offered with a promise from scripture that God is good and forgiving…"if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9 ESV)
for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us… Oh that these words will come to fruition! That we, like Jesus, may have the grace and love to forgive those who have offended us. Oh that we may be released from the bondage of our lack of forgiveness – resentment that can cloud and cover all aspects of our lives.
And lead us not into temptation. This statement should not be interpreted as thinking – that God would lead us into temptation – in fact, scripture teaches the opposite… "Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God," for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death." (James 1:13-15 ESV) We entreat God, who orders all things in heaven and on earth to guide us in such as way that our best selves come to the fore rather than our worst!
Ultimately what this prayer is asking is that God, by the power of the Holy Spirit, will so transform our hearts that our desire will be what God desires.
I pray you all a very blessed week.

"The Aftermath" is the seventh episode of Book One: Air of The Legend of Korra and the seventh of the overall series. It debuted on May 19, 2012 on Nickelodeon.
Overview Edit
After the Pro-bending Arena closes following Amon's attack, Mako and Bolin are invited to stay in Asami's mansion. While spending time there, Korra begins to suspect that Hiroshi Sato is working for the Equalists. As the Metalbending Police Force investigates the claims, they discover stunning secrets.
Synopsis Edit
With the closure of the Pro-bending Arena, Korra excitedly tells Mako and Bolin that Tenzin has allowed them to stay on Air Temple Island. However, they inform her that Asami has already invited them to live her father's mansion. When Asami shows up, she and Bolin, the latter of who pretends to speak as Pabu, convince Korra to visit them at the estate. Korra finally accepts the invitation and leaves the arena.
Lin Beifong and her Metalbending Police Force are shown raiding Cabbage Corp's headquarters, where they find large numbers of Equalist posters and weapons, namely electrified gloves. The owner, Lau Gan-Lan, is arrested in front of the cabbage merchant's statue where Lin Beifong then announces the official closing of the company to the media.
Korra then arrives at police headquarters where she sees Tahno, miserable on account of the failed attempts to restore his bending. After a short conversation and a promise of taking down Amon, Korra sees Hiroshi Sato conversing with Lin Beifong and Tenzin before leaving the establishment. Later, she visits the rest of the Fire Ferrets in Asami's house, where Bolin proudly explains of all the perks that come with living in the Sato estate.
After Korra and Asami participate in a Satomobile race, Korra goes to the restroom. Following a slight run-in with some make-up powder, she leaves the restroom and overhears Hiroshi talking of how the investigation of Cabbage Corp has bought them time and how he will be ready to strike soon. Korra quickly leaves the estate and goes to Tenzin and Lin, telling them of what she heard. Although quite disbelieving at first, they realize that Hiroshi's hate for benders may be because of the murder of his wife, done by a member of the Agni Kai Triad twelve years ago during a break-in and robbery at the mansion.
As they come to interrogate Hiroshi, Bolin, Mako, and Asami are quite annoyed; however, the businessman gives them permission to search all of Future Industries. This search proves to be unsuccessful, no Equalist material is found. That all changes, however, when what appears to be a warehouse worker slips a note into Korra's hand, telling her where to meet him to learn more about Hiroshi's potential ties with Amon. As Lin, Tenzin, and Korra meet him, their contact admits to being an Equalist, now repentant over Amon's desire to create war between benders and non-benders. He reveals that Hiroshi Sato is working for the Equalists, producing equipment for them in a secret underground facility beneath his own estate. The former Equalist also reveals that there are rumors about Sato planning something big involving the Equalists.
Lin and her metalbenders, taking Korra and Tenzin alongside, enter the Sato estate with intentions of finding and eliminating any threat. Under the pressure of losing her job because of Tarrlok's recent speeches criticizing her, Lin uses seismic sense to discover a secret tunnel from Hiroshi's workshop to the secret underground factory. Lin orders Officer Song to stay behind and make sure Bolin, Mako, and Asami do not come down; then she enters, followed by her men, Korra, and Tenzin.
As they come to the bottom, they witness the machines produced by Hiroshi. They are then locked in by a wall made of platinum, something that metalbending cannot control or manipulate. Lin guesses that the informant was nothing more than a setup. Unable to get out, the metalbenders, Lin, Tenzin and Korra are all forced to face Hiroshi and the Equalists; however, the machines play their part in giving the Equalists the advantage. In the meantime, Mako tricks Song by purposely "sneezing" a breath of fire as Bolin uses his earthbending to trip the officer. The brothers tie up the man and enter the hidden factory, leaving Asami behind.
All of the benders in the factory are easily defeated by Hiroshi's mecha tanks. Hiroshi then orders the chi blockers to round up their captives to be brought to Amon. As Mako and Bolin enter and try to save an unconscious Korra, Tenzin, and Lin, they are spotted by Hiroshi and the Lieutenant. Mako accuses Hiroshi of sponsoring the Fire Ferrets and supporting the Avatar just to gain their trust. Using an electrified glove, the businessman confirms it and states that it broke his heart watching Asami fall for a "firebending street rat" like Mako, then Asami enters. Seeing her disbelief and shock, Hiroshi asks her for forgiveness and tells her that he is doing this because of the loss of her mother who had been killed in the hands of a firebender. He then gives offers daughter a glove and tells her to join him and Amon in making a world a better place, free of benders. As Asami takes up the glove, the Fire Ferrets look up in disbelief and despair. However, to everyone's surprise, Asami stuns her father and the Lieutenant and then helps them escape as the Equalists take notice.
Back on the police airship, Korra tells the two brothers that not only they, but Asami, too, is welcome to come live on Air Temple Island, a proposition which they now gladly accept. At the same time, Lin tells Tenzin that Tarrlok was right in saying that she has failed her duty as chief of the police force, and that she will resign the next morning. When Tenzin tells her not to give up, she replies that she has not given up, and that she is going to look for her men and face Amon "outside the law". Korra then turns to Mako and tells him to go to Asami, knowing that she needs him. As he does so, Asami, confused and hurt, emotionally embraces Mako as the airship slowly approaches the Republic City coastline at night.

- When Lin Beifong and her officers were searching Hiroshi Sato's personal workshop, Lin used her metalbending to move a large piece of the floor, revealing the secret tunnel. Later on in the episode, however, Bolin earthbends part of the floor in order to trip a metalbending officer.
- While Asami was electrifying the Lieutenant, she also touched him with her other hand, which was bare, but she was not electrified as well.
- In the scene where Korra meets Tahno, a man can be seen on a bench across from Tahno. In the next shot, however, he is gone.
- Mako was seen wearing his gloves while packing with Bolin; however, when he waves goodbye to Korra as she leaves, he is not wearing them anymore.
- As Korra is leaving with the police to investigate the hidden factory, Mako is seen standing behind Bolin and Asami. When Korra glances back at the trio, Mako is then seen standing in front of the two.
- When Mako left Korra after having a conversation, one of Korra's ears is the same color as her hair.
- During the escape, when Tenzin and Lin were still unconscious, Bolin had picked up Tenzin; however, when they were jumping in the small earthbent tunnel, Mako was carrying him.
Trivia Edit
- The push daggers that came out of Lin Beifong's arms are similar to an Indian weapon known as the katara.
- This is the second episode in a row where Ikki, Meelo, and Jinora have not appeared.
- When Bolin jumps in the Satos' pool, he exclaims, "Earthbending bomb!", similar to Katara's "Waterbending bomb!" in "The Serpents Pass."
- This is the first time Mako and Bolin are shown to have committed a misdemeanor, by assaulting a police officer.

A journalist who wrote an article revealing the exploitation of migrant workers building a New York University campus in Abu Dhabi, as well as a professor quoted in the story, have become targets of a private investigator working for a mysterious secret client, reports the New York Times. The investigator, Loren Berger of New York, has been making inquiries about the NYU professor, Andrew Ross, and the reporter, Ariel Kaminer, who wrote the story for the Times last year. Berger said she did not know the identity of her client.
"The university has no knowledge of this and no involvement," John Beckman, an NYU spokesman, said in a statement. "It's reprehensible and offensive on its face, and we call on whoever is involved to desist immediately." An embassy spokesman for the United Arab Emirates, which has a record of striking back at those critical of migrant labor conditions there, did not respond to inquiries. On Jan. 29, Berger called Susan Fraiman, a professor of English at the University of Virginia who had written critically about some of Professor Ross's academic work. Berger "said something like, 'We're looking for people to comment negatively,' " Fraiman recalled.

Christian 12-Step Based Therapy
Struggling with addiction isn't easy, no matter who you are or what you believe. As a Christian, the effects of substance abuse can be particularly damaging, most notably for those who feel as though developing an addiction is acting directly against the advice of the Lord.
Even if addiction has shaken your faith, it's possible to return to God's graces once more with a proper approach to treatment. There is no shame in seeking help; in reality, many options available throughout rehabilitation can actually strengthen your resilience and enhance your connection to Christ. One such treatment program, known as the 12 Steps, emphasizes a spiritual journey that requires personal reflection, dedication, and focus to complete in full.
The 12 Steps have served as a model for success for recovery groups around the country. At Road to Freedom, we are able to incorporate this strategy into our care, working with Christians from all walks of life to commit to abstinence and inspire long-lasting sobriety.
What Are the 12 Steps?
Originally developed as a part of Alcoholics Anonymous, the 12 Steps were created in Akron, OH in 1935 by Bill Wilson and Dr. Robert Holbrook Smith. Devised with God in mind, these steps are a progressive series of beliefs and behaviors that, when followed properly, can help substance abusers to overcome the physical and mental bonds of addiction.
1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.
"I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out." (Romans 7:18)
Admitting powerlessness can be extremely hard, especially for autonomous adults who have been making their own decisions for years. However, this first step is critically important and is key to the proper mindset for recovery. After all, you have to admit your own failings before you can pave a path forward.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
"For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose." (Philippians 2:13)
This step involves understanding that God and His wisdom are a necessary part of breaking the cycle of addiction. Even if you have turned away from God during your abuse, this step requires a commitment to a renewed relationship.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
"Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-this is your spiritual act of worship." (Romans 12:1)
In step three, participants are encouraged to turn their lives over to God, admitting that they cannot make the right choices without His guidance. For those who have felt abandoned by God in the midst of addiction, this may not be easy, but finding strength in your faith is critical to recovery.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
"Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord." (Lamentations 3:40)
The 12 Steps are all about accountability, which means honesty with yourself and God about where you have gone wrong. This step can be uncomfortable – it can be hard to face your own failings head on – but taking an authentic and realistic inventory of yourself and your actions is very valuable in identifying your own shortcomings.
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
"Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed." (James 5:16)
Thinking about your failings and actually vocalizing them can be quite different. This step requires participants to come clean about mistakes and moral wrongs, coming to terms with them personally and within the confines of faith.
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
"Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up." (James 4:10)
Asking for help from God can be overwhelming, but it's a big part of recovery. This step asks those participating to let go of their former selves and commit fully to sobriety with help from God, giving oneself up to him in order to overcome mistakes.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)
Forgiveness is a long process, especially within your faith. In this step, you must be willing to ask God for forgiveness and request His help in moving past the personal shortcomings that led to addiction.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
"Do to others as you would have them do to you." (Luke 6:31)
Addiction affects many people, from friends and family members to colleagues and classmates. This step requires determining everyone harmed through substance abuse and developing a willingness to address and apologize for any wrongdoings.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
"Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift." (Matthew 5:23-24)
A willingness to admit fault and make amends is a good start, but actions speak louder than words. This step asks participants to physically approach those they wronged to apologize for any damage done through addiction. However, if apologizing would cause undue and unreasonable distress to either party, it's acceptable to omit reparations.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
"So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!" (1 Corinthians 10:12)
Sin is a reality of the human condition, and acknowledging mistakes once isn't enough. Recovery is a long-term process, and that means regular introspection of your actions, thoughts, and feelings. When issues do arise again, participants should be prepared to take measures to repeat past steps in order to admit fault and seek forgiveness.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly." (Colossians 3:16)
Spiritual guidance is critical to your recovery. This step requires participants to pray regularly and strengthen their bonds to Christ, using his wisdom and guidance to live a healthy, Godly life.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
"Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore them gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted." (Galatians 6:1)
The final step requires participants to live within the logic and guidance of the Steps at all times while promoting the wisdom within to others in need. Faith is a large part of this, and a consistent relationship with God is an expected component of fulfilling this final stage.
Why the 12 Steps Work
As a progressive process, the 12 Steps seek to guide recovering addicts through stages of healing that facilitate personal growth and development. This concept operates on the premise that recovery is a long and drawn out process, and that certain steps must be followed to fully progress through the changes in attitude and habits that lend themselves to recovery. As many psychologists are aware, overcoming addiction requires a personal want; without truly desiring recovery, most patients will not experience long-term success. The Steps reinforce this, as participants cannot move forward without dedication and introspection.
Like other forms of therapy, this strategy emphasizes self-exploration, spirituality, and personal development in an ongoing format, effectively keeping individuals engaged in sobriety for months or years after completion of a rehabilitation program. This journey can be extremely effective in staving off relapse as participants embrace the feelings of fulfillment that come with completing steps.
The Importance of 12-Step Therapy
When in the throes of addiction, it's easy to feel overtaken by your problems. You may want to put your mind on something else or do your best to forget that there's something haunting you. However, if you want to recover, failing to acknowledge and cope with your addiction can only worsen your struggles, giving you an excuse to sink further into your addictive behaviors.
Rather than teaching you to avoid problematic feelings, 12 Step programs put addiction front and center. With the Steps as a focus of your day to day life, it's easier to find the strength to confront your demons. There's no way to ignore the pressures of substance abuse or the consequences it causes, forcing you to put energy into rehabilitation, sobriety, and your connection to God.
Road to Freedom and 12-Step Programs

Through our 12-Step programs, which are led by trained faith-based counselors, we are able to help our patients find a positive approach to confronting addictions and rebuilding connections with God.
