As a student, the entire goal is to be able to take what you learn in the classroom and apply it to your professional life. I am so grateful for my work at SON Ministries, because it has allowed me to see the theories taught at work. In a class titled Public Service and Civic Engagement, we studied the history of civic engagement by looking at organizations such as the Chicago Hull House; it was nearly impossible not to see the similarities between Jane Adamm's legendary work and that of Kim Emch's mission with SON Ministries. The two share in the same altruistic aim, and prove that civic engagement is alive and constantly adapting to fit the needs of our ever-growing nation.
The United States of America has historically taken pride in its identity as "the melting pot," therefore it is innately logical that refugees have long sought asylum and safety on its shores. However, their struggles did not end simply by seeing Lady Liberty; Hull House and SON Ministries both work to alleviate the struggles that plague them in their new home. In 1889, approximately 78 percent of Chicago residents were either foreign-born or the children of foreign parents. This large influx was often the result of the attraction of jobs available in the metropolitan area, but once they arrived, they were greeted with horrendous living and working conditions and became members of the urban poor (Salmon, 2008). Thus, Hull House began. Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr were committed to adapting to the needs in their community, and so they "taught English, provided childcare for working mothers, and counseled poor immigrants who were struggling to adapt to city life in a new country." (NBC News, 2007) However, the most important service they provided to their community was intangible: "they thought of the people surrounding them as their neighbors, not as their beneficiaries." (NBC News, 2007) This was a noticeable change in civic engagement from prior generations where "middle class white women" viewed those they served as charity instead of peers. It was a humanistic approach that has been mirrored, albeit unintentionally, in modern time.
SON Ministries' vision is "to build our Hilliard community while offering a hand up (not a hand out) to families facing the unique challenges of poverty." (SON Ministries, 2007) In promoting that vision, they provide a Full-Family English as a Second Language program, where adults are able to learn the language with the overarching aim of finding employment, not welfare. Family ESL is a modern version of the programs Addams provided where childcare, English classes, and other services such as a free legal clinic intersect to improve the quality of life of immigrants from twenty-four different nations. Unfortunately, the population that SON Ministries is able to serve is miniscule compared to the need. As of 2014, there were 13 million refugees "of concern" to the United Nation Refugee Agency. This translates to one in every 122 humans being classified as displaced, which is an all time high. This is critical: the world cannot afford for a decrease in engagement; there needs to be an increase in organizations like SON Ministries and Hull House in order to address a truly overwhelming problem.

I run over to get my number strip my jersey off in front of every one and try to pin my number to my jersey . (I just thought of a good idea. How about a plastic sleeve that you can just shove the number in) Anyway, so I start to warm up and get about 5 minutes in and see that everyone is lined up and the judge is giving everyone the rules etc. So I line up in the last row. There were 62 guys lined up and I'm in the last row. Not good. Alot of this course is single track. I knew my only chance was to get the hole shot. Ya right. Well at least to get the inside of the track just before the 180 degree turn.
I was racing against some really good riders but I felt like I was just a hair faster so I would get around them on the open sections. I think what happened was that I was holding back for the last 2 laps and then I was able to go all out while the other riders were fading. I was feeling good and Nay and Jen were cheering me on on the final stretch. Afterwards I went to my car and was thinking about leaving but I wanted to stay for Jen's race. So just for kicks I thought I would check out the results. I figured I was in the top 15. Somehow I pulled off 3rd and won some cash!
Since my Internet decided to stop working things got progressively worse. I tried to fix it but got no where and so Jesse took over. LSS Jesse "formatted" the hard drive. Which means every program, every document, every picture, everything was gone. Just like that.
At the beginning of the year I started a spread sheet to document my rides and races. I had the date the miles and the time spent riding my bike. I figured someday writing all of this information down would make me faster, right? Probably not. So I wasn't too bummed when it was gone. It feels like I have a clean slate now. Which coincides with my week off this week. Luckily, I wrote down my hours per week a few days before this happened. Don't laugh at the amount please. I try to get out as much as I can.
Since January I've done 227 hours and 40 minutes of riding. That's it? Yep. I averaged almost 7 hours per week of riding.
I do feel a little jaded towards my computer now. Why should I waste my time uploading, typing, fixing mistakes, or trying to make things work. It's such a waste of time. At least I have my blog and face book. They never let me down or waste my time. Right?
It got me thinking about why I blog about stuff. I get excited to tell someone what just happened to me. I can't help it. I'm always telling someone what happened to me and when they tell me what happened to them I look into the distance and remember what just happened to me. Just kidding. I love seeing what happens to other people too. I have a list of blogs that I read just for fun. I like the non-fiction type of stuff.
I had to skip Palmer and Norcross to go to a wedding. I'll be at Winding Trails today at a Family reunion laying it down on the cross bike.

Concept: Case study
Sugar industry sponsorship of germ-free rodent studies linking sucrose to hyperlipidemia and cancer: An historical analysis of internal documents
- PLoS biology
- Published almost 2 years ago
- Discuss
In 1965, the Sugar Research Foundation (SRF) secretly funded a review in the New England Journal of Medicine that discounted evidence linking sucrose consumption to blood lipid levels and hence coronary heart disease (CHD). SRF subsequently funded animal research to evaluate sucrose's CHD risks. The objective of this study was to examine the planning, funding, and internal evaluation of an SRF-funded research project titled "Project 259: Dietary Carbohydrate and Blood Lipids in Germ-Free Rats," led by Dr. W.F.R. Pover at the University of Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom, between 1967 and 1971. A narrative case study method was used to assess SRF Project 259 from 1967 to 1971 based on sugar industry internal documents. Project 259 found a statistically significant decrease in serum triglycerides in germ-free rats fed a high sugar diet compared to conventional rats fed a basic PRM diet (a pelleted diet containing cereal meals, soybean meals, whitefish meal, and dried yeast, fortified with a balanced vitamin supplement and trace element mixture). The results suggested to SRF that gut microbiota have a causal role in carbohydrate-induced hypertriglyceridemia. A study comparing conventional rats fed a high-sugar diet to those fed a high-starch diet suggested that sucrose consumption might be associated with elevated levels of beta-glucuronidase, an enzyme previously associated with bladder cancer in humans. SRF terminated Project 259 without publishing the results. The sugar industry did not disclose evidence of harm from animal studies that would have (1) strengthened the case that the CHD risk of sucrose is greater than starch and (2) caused sucrose to be scrutinized as a potential carcinogen. The influence of the gut microbiota in the differential effects of sucrose and starch on blood lipids, as well as the influence of carbohydrate quality on beta-glucuronidase and cancer activity, deserve further scrutiny.

Diffusion of a collaborative care model in primary care: a longitudinal qualitative study
- BMC family practice
- Published over 6 years ago
- Discuss
BACKGROUND: Although collaborative team models (CTM) improve care processes and health outcomes, their diffusion poses challenges related to difficulties in securing their adoption by primary care clinicians. The objectives of this study are to understand: (1) how the perceived characteristics of a CTM influenced clinicians' decision to adopt -or not- the model; and (2) the model's diffusion process. METHODS: We conducted a longitudinal case study based on the Diffusion of Innovations Theory. First, diffusion curves were developed for all 175 primary care physicians (PCPs) and 59 nurses practicing in one borough of Paris. Second, semi-structured interviews were conducted with a representative sample of 40 PCPs and 15 nurses to better understand the implementation dynamics. RESULTS: Diffusion curves showed that 3.5 years after the start of the implementation, 100% of nurses and over 80% of PCPs had adopted the CTM. The dynamics of the CTM's diffusion were different between the PCPs and the nurses. The slopes of the two curves are also distinctly different. Among the nurses, the critical mass of adopters was attained faster, since they adopted the CTM earlier and more quickly than the PCPs. Results of the semi-structured interviews showed that these differences in diffusion dynamics were mostly founded in differences between the PCPs' and the nurses' perceptions of the CTM's compatibility with norms, values and practices and its relative advantage (impact on patient management and work practices). Opinion leaders played a key role in the diffusion of the CTM among PCPs. CONCLUSION: CTM diffusion is a social phenomenon that requires a major commitment by clinicians and a willingness to take risks; the role of opinion leaders is key. Paying attention to the notion of a critical mass of adopters is essential to developing implementation strategies that will accelerate the adoption process by clinicians. Key-words: primary care, primary care physician, nurses, chronic disease, collaboration, health service research, diffusion of innovation.
Giant congenital diaphragmatic hernia in an adult
- Journal of cardiothoracic surgery
- Published over 5 years ago
- Discuss
Bochdalek hernia is the most common type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia. It appears frequently in infants but rarely in adults. We present the case of a 50-year-old female han patient with tremendous left-sided congenital posterolateral diaphragmatic hernia (Bochdalek hernia) who also has a pair of supernumerary breasts and pulmonary hypoplasia of the lower-left lobe. The patient had an experience of misdiagnosis and she was treated for bronchitis for one year until being admitted to our hospital. This case study emphasizes the rare presentation of Bochdalek hernia in adults and the necessity of high clinical attention to similar cases.
A new resource for identifying and assessing the impacts of research
- BMC medicine
- Published about 4 years ago
- Discuss
The impact case studies submitted by UK Higher Education Institutions to the Research Excellence Framework (REF) in 2014 provide a rich resource of text describing impact beyond academia and across all disciplines. Using text mining techniques and qualitative assessment, the 6,679 non-redacted case studies submitted were analysed and the impact described was found to be multidisciplinary, multi-impactful, and multinational. By digging deeper into the data, the health gains from health research in terms of Quality Adjusted Life Years was also estimated. Similar analyses are possible using these case studies, but will require the data to be 're-purposed' from the original intention (i.e., for assessment purposes) for robust analysis.
Endoscopic management for congenital esophageal stenosis: A systematic review
- World journal of gastrointestinal endoscopy
- Published over 4 years ago
- Discuss
Congenital esophageal stenosis (CES) is an extremely rare malformation, and standard treatment have not been completely established. By years of clinical research, evidence has been accumulated. We conducted systematic review to assess outcomes of the treatment for CES, especially the role of endoscopic modalities. A total of 144 literatures were screened and reviewed. CES was categorized in fibromuscular thickening, tracheobronchial remnants (TBR) and membranous web, and the frequency was 54%, 30% and 16%, respectively. Therapeutic option includes surgery and dilatation, and surgery tends to be reserved for ineffective dilatation. An essential point is that dilatation for TBR type of CES has low success rate and high rate of perforation. TBR can be distinguished by using endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS). Overall success rate of dilatation for CES with or without case selection by using EUS was 90% and 29%, respectively. Overall rate of perforation with or without case selection was 7% and 24%, respectively. By case selection using EUS, high success rate with low rate of perforation could be achieved. In conclusion, endoscopic dilatation has been established as a primary therapy for CES except TBR type. Repetitive dilatation with gradual step-up might be one of safe ways to minimize the risk of perforation.
Screening the active compounds of Phellodendri Amurensis cortex for treating prostate cancer by high-throughput chinmedomics
- Scientific reports
- Published over 2 years ago
- Discuss
Screening the active compounds of herbal medicines is of importance to modern drug discovery. In this work, an integrative strategy was established to discover the effective compounds and their therapeutic targets using Phellodendri Amurensis cortex (PAC) aimed at inhibiting prostate cancer as a case study. We found that PAC could be inhibited the growth of xenograft tumours of prostate cancer. Global constituents and serum metabolites were analysed by UPLC-MS based on the established chinmedomics analysis method, a total of 54 peaks in the spectrum of PAC were characterised in vitro and 38 peaks were characterised in vivo. Among the 38 compounds characterised in vivo, 29 prototype components were absorbed in serum and nine metabolites were identified in vivo. Thirty-four metabolic biomarkers were related to prostate cancer, and PAC could observably reverse these metabolic biomarkers to their normal level and regulate the disturbed metabolic profile to a healthy state. A chinmedomics approach showed that ten absorbed constituents, as effective compounds, were associated with the therapeutic effect of PAC. In combination with bioactivity assays, the action targets were also predicted and discovered. As an illustrative case study, the strategy was successfully applied to high-throughput screening of active compounds from herbal medicine.
The Future of Home Health Care: A Strategic Framework for Optimizing Value

- Published almost 3 years ago
- Discuss
The Future of Home Health project sought to support transformation of home health and home-based care to meet the needs of patients in the evolving U.S. health care system. Interviews with key thought leaders and stakeholders resulted in key themes about the future of home health care. By synthesizing this qualitative research, a literature review, case studies, and the themes from a 2014 Institute of Medicine and National Research Council workshop on "The Future of Home Health Care," the authors articulate a vision for home-based care and recommend a bold framework for the Medicare-certified home health agency of the future. The authors also identify challenges and recommendations for achievement of this framework.
Ketogenic diet benefits body composition and well-being but not performance in a pilot case study of New Zealand endurance athletes
- Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition
- Published about 2 years ago
- Discuss
Low-carbohydrate, high-fat and ketogenic diets are increasingly adopted by athletes for body composition and sports performance enhancements. However, as yet, there is no consensus on their efficacy in improving performance. There is also no comprehensive literature on athletes' experiences while undertaking this diet. The purpose of this pilot work was two-fold: i. to examine the effects of a non-calorie controlled ketogenic diet on body composition and performance outcomes of endurance athletes, and ii. to evaluate the athletes' experiences of the ketogenic diet during the 10-week intervention.
Do variations in hospital mortality patterns after weekend admission reflect reduced quality of care or different patient cohorts? A population-based study
- BMJ quality & safety

- Discuss
Proposed causes for increased mortality following weekend admission (the 'weekend effect') include poorer quality of care and sicker patients. The aim of this study was to analyse the 7 days post-admission time patterns of excess mortality following weekend admission to identify whether distinct patterns exist for patients depending upon the relative contribution of poorer quality of care (care effect) or a case selection bias for patients presenting on weekends (patient effect).

Veritas Business Partners was created because of our deep desire to assist the leaders and business owners within my network. We hope to alleviate many of the pressures leading / owning businesses creates and ultimately improve quality of life.
My professional experience has not been in writing books or telling others how they should run their business.
My key point of difference is for the past 23 years I have been at the coalface starting as a young naïve businessman to leading multiple companies to incredible triumphs across a vast number of business verticals.
This success has been due to one core reason. Following my executive education at Harvard Business School I developed a simple to understand business formula that I have now executed for the past ten (10) years internally within my previous role with significant success. I am now focussed on developing my own businesses and sharing this formula with my key contacts and their network.
I have extensive experience in starting new businesses, turning poorly operated businesses around and growing solid businesses to be the most respected in their field. Most importantly, when executed effectively, my formula creates long lasting success.
What I have learnt is that the fundamentals of business are exactly the same.

The Tony Awards have set dates and switched venues for their 2016 edition, returning to the Beacon Theater on Manhattan's Upper West Side for a ceremony that will air live on CBS June 12. Nominations will be announced May 3.
The Tonys, the Broadway industry's highest honors, previously played the Beacon in 2011 and 2012, when the Tonys' longtime home, Radio City Music Hall, was booked with the summer run of a Cirque du Soleil show. Since then the Tonys have played the last three years back in Radio City, but this year must move again because of the upcoming summer run of the retooled Rockettes show produced by Harvey Weinstein, "Rockettes New York Spectacular."
Compared to Radio City, the Beacon has both advantages and disadvantages. The stage at the Beacon more closely matches the size of Broadway theaters, which can help make the ceremony's transplanted musical numbers look good there — and looking good on television is a prime concern, given that most Broadway producers consider a segment on the Tony telecast to be one of Broadway's top marketing opportunities.
On the other hand, the Beacon seats about half as many people as the 6,000-seat Radio City, which cuts down on ticket allotments both for theater constituencies and for purchase by the general public.
Once again, the Tony ceremony will be executive produced by Ricky Kirshner and Glenn Weiss, who've spearheaded the telecast since 2003 (and won multiple Emmys for their work).
Not even halfway through the 2015-16 season, Broadway's awards race is only just starting to shape up. Everyone's certain that buzzy box office smash "Hamilton" will be a major player, but it remains to be seen which projects will rise to challenge it.
The eligibility cutoff for the 2016 Tonys is April 28.

So you've decided that you want to start a blog. Congratulations! You are in for an exciting, wild ride (if you do it right). But before you start a blog there are a few things you really need to know or your blog will fail.
Or at least not be as successful as it could be. And that's not good either.
The Voice of Experience
I've been blogging for nearly a decade now, both for business and for fun, and overall it's been a blast.
But it hasn't all been fun and games and dolla dolla bills y'all (okay, I'll stop doing that)
I'm a little ashamed to admit that when I took my first 'how to blog" course it, and therefore my entire blogging mindset, was centered around one concept: make money blogging.
Nobody bothered to tell me what you need to know before you start a blog to make it be successful.
Guess what? The only person who made money on my first attempt at blogging was the guy I bought the (very expensive) course from. I had no idea what I was up against.
Fortunately, I've learned a lot about blogging.. but I learned most of it the hard way and it wasn't a very fun or cheap lesson.
But now, a decade and several successful blogs later, I do know what you need to know before you start a blog. And I'm here to share that information with you!
So before you start worrying about what to call your blog or how to set up social media or drive traffic or all those other fun blogging adventures, ask yourself a few simple questions.
1. WHY Are You Blogging?
In his book "Start With Why" Simon Sinek suggests that the best way to succeed and to inspire those you work with is to find your "why".
Your "why" is what is behind the reason that you do the things you do, whether it's work or play or just sitting around. Why do you do whatever you do?
When the Wright brothers were building the first airplane, their why wasn't to build an airplane, it was to fly.
- If the reason you get up and go to work in the morning is just to earn a paycheck, then you don't have a very strong "why".
- If you love the work that you are doing and you find it inspiring and uplifting, then that's a really great "why". That's the best "why" there is!
More Than Money
Please don't start a blog just to make money. There's nothing wrong with making money and certainly every blogger would love to have millions of adoring visitors click on all their links and buy all their stuff. I know it's not just me. 🙂
Dig a Little Deeper
But in my experience, doing anything just for the money doesn't turn out well. I encourage you to dig a little deeper and see what blogging really has to offer.
Do you want to:
- spend more time with your family and friends?
- be in control of your work schedule?
- do work that you really enjoy?
- have some extra income?
These are just a few examples of the reasons that people blog.
- Blog for more time doing what you love.
- Do it for your kids/pets/houseplants.
- Fight injustice and tyranny.
- Get out of that crappy commute.
Cuz if your only purpose is to make money, you're not going to be happy blogging. Or doing anything else either.
Make it Personal
If you have a personal why, one that really motivates you beyond earning a check, you are much more likely to succeed.
My blog deehathaway.com started as a way for me to just get my thoughts together when I was going through some personal, tough times. An online journal of sorts. My why was self-discovery.
I found that I really like writing, something that I had lost from when I was a child. My why was enjoying what I was doing.
And then I discovered that other people liked my writing too, so it became a way to communicate and share ideas. My why was helping other people become more awesome.
And then I converted that blog into a best-selling book, Here's What Let's Do: Stop Being Average and Start Being Awesome.
Through that blog, and the book, and my career as a technology leader, I found my true love: writing and helping other people find their passion so they can live a life they love.
What could be better?
So take a few minutes and dig deep to find out why you want to start a blog. Fun? Money? Friendship? Education? Blogging offers all those and so much more!
2. WHAT Are You Blogging About?
Many blogging courses will tell you that the best way to figure out what to blog about is to:
- do a bunch of research on amazon and google and find out what topics are really trending right now
- read a few blog/site articles to brush up on the subject
- call yourself an expert in that subject
- start rewriting other people's posts to make them your own, or even worse…
- outsource your content to the Philippines
- sit back and watch the money roll in (to their pockets!)
- lather, rinse, repeat
I have a much better way of blogging!
- Find out what you are passionate about, good at, or just plain enjoy
- Write about that!
So what do you blog about? Remember back in the first section when we talked about finding your "why" before you start a blog? Blog about your why!
Isn't that interesting?
People like to hear from others who are passionate about something! If you are really interested in what you are blogging about, that is going to show in your writing. And people will want to read it.
The opposite is true as well. Nothing will make me jump from a page faster than insincerity. Well, maybe that and too many pop-up ads...
If you're still stuck on what to blog about, check out the article on Finding Your Passion.
3. WHO Are You Trying to Reach?
Now you know why you're going to write (because you just can't NOT talk about keto dieting, m.i.right?!).
And you know what you're going to write (hopefully, something about why you're writing).
So now you need to figure out who you're going to write to.
And why, you ask, do you need to know who will be reading your blog? (you did ask that… right?)
The people that you want to read your blog are your "target audience", as they are the ones for whom you are creating your content. In other words, they are who you will be talking/writing to.
You need to know who your target readers are before you start a blog because:
- It will be much easier for you to write if you know that you are writing to/for someone.
- It will help you define what you are going to blog about.
- People who read your blog will enjoy it so much more if it seems like you are talking to them.
- Monetizing your blog will be much easier if you know who your "target market" is.
As an example, let's say you are passionate about dog-training and want to start a blog about that. Writing as if you were talking to a make-believe someone who actually has a dog would be much easier than just writing something about dogs. It will also make you more comfortable and the words will be much easier to find.
Write as if you were talking to a friend, client or just fellow human who shares what you find interesting. Make your posts/articles conversational, not boring.
4. WHEN Are You Going to Blog?
It takes commitment to have a successful blog, no doubt about it.
One of the keys to running a successful blog is consistency. Once word about your awesomeness starts to get around and you get some followers, they're going to want to hear from you on a regular basis. So figuring out a couple of timing issues before you start a blog is a great idea.
You're welcome.
Some people post an article every day (ain't nobody got time for that!), while some post a couple of times a week. Being on a schedule will help people know when they can expect something from you and they'll keep coming back.
For a while I didn't post anything on any kind of schedule and believe me, people quit showing up to your blog. Before you start a blog, decide how often you want to blog.
You also need to decide when you will create content (pictures, articles, posts, etc) to put on your blog. The best way to ensure that you stick with it is to carve out some regularly scheduled time on your calendar. Pick a date/time/place where you will write.
You don't have to write every day (although it'd sure be good if you did), but you should get into a regular routine so you don't get sidetracked.
Consistency is key!
5. WHERE are you going to host your blog?
I know, I know… it seems a bit early to be hopping down this road when you don't even have a name picked out. But this is one that you need to get right. Before you start a blog.
Spend the literally few bucks a month to get a good hosting provider and your own domain name. Yes, you can set up a blog for free, but it is not a good idea in the long run.
You don't want to be fighting speed or compatibility issues or find yourself waiting days for technical support if you have issues.
And you want to get a hosting setup where you control the content. Where you own the domain name and can change to a different hosting provider if you want to.
That platform should also be well supported, proven and reliable. I won't get into the battle between blogging platforms, but pretty much every blogger out there will tell you the same thing. WordPress.org, not wordpress.com.
You need to pick a platform that you own, that you can control, and that is going to have the resources to make sure your blog is:
- fast
- up-to-date
- secure
- reliable
- affordable
For me, there is really only one choice. Bluehost
They have hosted a bunch of my sites over the years. I have from time-to-time gone searching for alternate hosts, but I keep coming back to the proven leader.
If you can't swing Bluehost, you can also check out Hostgator, whom I've had great service with for customer sites.
Namecheap has recently gotten into the hosting game and offers decent hosting at an amazing price. I keep all of my names registered there and currently also host a couple of sites with them. Just for fun. Follow this link and check them out.
If you are super-techy and looking for a high-speed VPS solution, check out SSDNodes. I recently switched this site to them and they. are. amazing.
**If you follow these links through and purchase a hosting plan, I will indeed get a few bucks. But that doesn't affect the price you pay at all. It just enables me to keep doing what I love. THIS!
6. HOW are you going to get started?
Now that you have all your news reporter information (who what when where why), it's time to get down to business.
But how do you do that?
You've got a great idea, are bursting with all kinds of ideas and motivation, have picked a great hosting company, and designed a great schedule that you've committed yourself to. What's the next step?
I recommend that you do what I did before I launched this blog and get the best training available. Learn from someone who has successfully launched not just a blog that makes them over $175,000 per month (gasp!), but who have also mastered the social media and marketing necessary to make your blog a success.
I highly suggest you start with the best. That would be the training provided by Alex and Lauren from Create and Go. Start with the first course Launch Your Blog, and get your blog started right!
Tell Me Why
I'm really interested in finding out why you started/want to start a blog. Drop me a comment below and tell me your "why"!
C'mon. It'll be fun!

We all have heard meditation has incredible, scientifically-proven benefits for both the mind and body. First and foremost, meditation is an effective way to lower stress, a pivotal factor in many poor health outcomes. Meditation is also an extremely effective tool to improve mood, manage anxiety, balance the nervous system, boost immunity, and lower blood pressure. It helps improve mental clarity and concentration, so if you're looking to feel more collected, centered, and focused throughout the day, practicing meditation regularly can be the perfect way to achieve this.
Our HealthTap doctors sing the praises of what meditation can do to improve both your mental and physical health. If you're looking to get better at this practice or to start working it into your daily routine, they have some great tips for you. We asked them for their best advice, and here's what they said:
Find a teacher.
Dr. Lynne Weixel, a clinical psychiatrist, knows that while meditation seems simple, it "is often frustrating without guidance." If you can't find an teacher to help you in a class, Dr. Weixel notes that "there are excellent books, video/audio tapes, and online groups that can help." You can even access many guided meditation apps straight from your phone, that help you build your meditation skills while teaching you new techniques.
Schedule it in.
Do you find yourself complaining that you just don't have the time, or that you forget to find the time to meditate? In order to bust stress and enhance concentration throughout your day, family medicine doctor Dr. Keegan Duchicela suggests you "try to work it into your daily routine as you would brushing your teeth or combing your hair." Everyone can make time for a 5-10 minute meditation, whether it's in the morning, as a break during your work day, or before you go to bed. Pen it into your schedule, and build it in as a simply a part of your routine that you just don't skip.
Focus on an image or a sound while you breathe.
During meditation, you should focus on your deep abdominal breaths, which help calm the autonomic nervous system and gives you the relaxation sensation you're seeking. In addition to your breathing, It can also be helpful to focus on an image or sound to center you. Holistic medicine doctor Dr. Randy Baker says, "[take] slow deep breaths while focusing on the process, and focus your mind on a sound or image. One of my favorite techniques is to take a deep breath in and softly say "ommm" or "aoum" (ahh, ohh, ooo, mmm) as you breathe out, [while] focusing on how the sound vibrates you." Remember, if your mind wanders during your meditation, that's more than okay. Once you realize your mind has drifted, bring it back to center, and continue focusing on your breath, and an image or sound.

'Inch wide, mile deep' is a standard mantra in many Lean teaching packages. The phrase promotes an in-depth understanding of the area in which the work is being done, while staying focused. Projects sometimes bog down because they are trying to cover too large an area. The advice to spend time achieving a rich understanding of the processes is good. People working on improvement projects often worry, however, about where the precise boundaries of their work should lie.
Sometimes the ability of one service to do its job is affected by the processes on either side. For example, delays in sending a referral, or problems with the information supplied, can affect flow in to a service. If there are delays in diagnostic results arriving, or problems in another part of the process (e.g. community service availability) then that can, in turn, affect flow in a service.
Common advice is to focus on a relatively small part of the process, and to improve the part that you can. Later work can focus on earlier, later, or parallel parts of the process. This is reasonable counsel, but it is important to consider impact on other parts of the service. There are several ways this can be addressed:
- Involve people whose services feed in to the work, or who take patients from the service, in improvement work. This has three benefits. They can bring information on their service; the participant leaves with a much fuller understanding of the other service, and when they come to undertake improvement work, they have already seen the process in practice. It is easy for staff to see all problems as being located in other services, and increasing mutual knowledge has a lot to recommend it.
- Develop balancing measures. When agreeing what will be measures as the metrics of the project, consider where unwanted effects might be seen, and think about how to measure them. Improvement work is never finished, and identifying unintended consequences as quickly as possible allows action to be taken.
Lean projects are often directed at parts of the system that are seen as bottlenecks. This is in line with the Theory of Constraints, a system associated with Eliyahu Goldratt. There's an interesting discussion of the similarities and differences between Lean and the Theory of Constraints in this post.
Keeping awareness of the wider system is challenging. It is easy to focus down on technical details of a process, and to lose sight of how it affects the service user (the point of Lean work, after all) and of how it affects other parts of the process. Several organisations have tried ways to maintain the focus on the patient, and to stop Lean projects happening in isolation.
The Esther Project is work in Sweden, that focuses on what services would be needed by a composite patient (an older, frail person called 'Esther'), and what qualities are needed in those services. This is in line with Lean ideas of focusing on value for the patient. The idea has been used in other areas, and information on the topic can be obtained on the 1000 Lives Plus website. Ideas like this could be of use in Lean projects, in keeping the work focused on the user of the process.
Another idea is a variation on the oobeya process. Oobeya means 'open big room' Toyota seem to have developed the concept, and used it to bring together people from different parts of the organisation involved in a specific project development. There's a description of the original process by Takashi Tanaka on the Lean Enterprise Academy site, here, and a video of Tanaka talking about oobeya and its on-line variants here.
The process was designed for product development, but it has been used in health care, most notably in the UK in Sheffield. Box 5 of this report has a description of how the method was adapted for use in the NHS, promoting involvement of different staff groups, and of people working in different parts of the same clinical process. In Sheffield, this was used as part of a large process change, which had many individual elements.
However you do it in practice, keeping sight of the impact of your work on the activities of other people is important. That's not a reason for delaying work, but paying attention to it should help your own improvement project, and make it easier to identify unintended consequences so that you can act to minimise their impact.

Getaway Dogs
Victoria van Skyhawk
Getaway Dogs is the brainchild of Santa Cruz-based songwriter, Kai Killion. Dubbed once by a friend as "cushy bedroom psychedelic bossanova" Killion's music draws its inspiration from the variety of different cultures and genres he experienced throughout his childhood. From Tropicália to folk, psyche and indie rock, hip-hop, soul, jazz, beat poetry and more, Getaway Dogs began as a solo project but quickly evolved as various musicians of different backgrounds passed through the bands' revolving door, each lending their experiences to the projects' unique, malleable sound.

We all have creativity in us. Whether we allow ourselves to let it come through or not depends on if we can be brave enough to not only think outside of the box, but to completely get rid of the box.
As adults, most of our lives are lived within a box. At work, we follow the rules in order to keep our jobs and make good impressions. In life there are laws we adhere to in order to avoid getting into legal trouble. In society, there are guidelines that we follow to fit in and avoid being outcasted. We become used to "coloring inside the lines" and sometimes it is easier to not push ourselves out of that comfort zone. Some of us prefer to stay inside the lines, some of us tight-walk along that line flowing back and forth just on one side or the other, while others act as if the line doesn't exist for them at all.
Perhaps you believe you are not creative. If so, I have one question for you to ponder: Have you ever been doing a daily task, i.e. brushing your teeth, combing your hair, taking out the garbage, cooking dinner, etc., and thought, "What if I change things up a little?" Perhaps I will use a different toothpaste, part my hair in the other direction, use a different garbage bag, or add a new spice to my food. It might not seem like much, but in a world where so much of our daily routine is set in stone, that little difference is your creativity trying to break through the box.
Perhaps your medium for creativity is not pen and paper, but that doesn't mean it isn't there. Creativity can appear in many facets of our lives. I have seen it used when fixing a car, I have seen it used when cleaning a house, I have seen it used when doing research, and many other situations.
Writing has been a part of who I am since elementary school and art has followed right behind it. Both are a passion of mine and both take a certain amount of creativity and courage. To take a blank piece of paper and write that first word, draw that first line, paint that first stroke, is not as simple as it sounds. To share what we create with the world is even more daunting. I remember in high school art class, while the other students were working in their sketchpads, I was on the computer learning how to create digital artwork and all about mixed media artwork. When it came to creative endeavors where the rules were meant to be challenged, pushed, and broken, I looked to take things one more step out of that box. My teachers were very supportive of my desire to do more and oftentimes guided me in new directions to keep that drive going. Even so, sharing the results was always very nerve-wracking. As my schooling progressed and I grew older, I found that straying outside of the box became more difficult, took more courage. It wasn't always encouraged but the end product always taught me something.
Creativity and what results from it is very personal. It is one of the things in this world that cannot be duplicated. So the next time you notice your creativity trying to break through, take notice, for that is something that you should be proud of, that is something that is uniquely you.

October marks the annual Hospice Care Month, which aims to highlight the amazing work that goes on behind the scenes at hospices around the UK. Hospices offer comprehensive services for those of varying mental and physical needs, who unfortunately suffer from serious and terminal illnesses.
There are different types of hospice care available for different patients. These include: medical social services, home care, inpatient care, volunteer care and 24 hour on call duty. Each of these are suited to different illnesses and many people often forget to acknowledge hospice care done outside of actual hospice facilities.
The individual hospice treatments needed also depends on the unique demands of each patient. Occupational Therapy helps patients to perform daily tasks better themselves, Physiotherapy can help to rehabilitate basic physical needs and Music Therapy is particularly good for dealing with emotional needs. Hospices also pride on offering full support to the families and previous carers of the patients, such as; bereavement counselling and training on how to support a terminally ill patient.
To show your support for Hospice Care Month, there are promotional resources you can display such as; posters, bunting, social media banners and more personal use items such as bookmarks and clothes tags. It's very important we recognise all that goes into our country's hospice care system.
By playing Your Charity Lottery, it helps to support great hospices, such as Dove House, Lindsey Lodge and Hospice at Home Gwynedd and Anglesey. As these hospices only receive 40 days worth of government funding per annum, we help to account for the remaining days and keep these hospices up to their expected high standards.

I'm having coffee with a friend tomorrow at BongoJava. It's in a neighborhood where I hope to live one day, East Nashville, very funky and artsy.
BongoJava has the distinction of having discovered the "Nun Bun" which is a cinnamon roll bearing a striking resemblance to Mother Teresa. Now, since someone googled me with "Mother Teresa tattoo" recently I felt this was a good follow up.
Read all about the Nun Bun here. Seriously, go and read it. It is very entertaining. You will never look at cinnamon rolls the same way again.

The Art of Delegating: What and How to Delegate to Your Directs
No one can do it on their own and that's why delegation is so important. The problem comes when we treat delegation as a simple foisting of unwanted activities on to the next person down. There's actually much more to it than that, and Zapier will help you navigate the delicate dance of delegation.

Liverpool laying groundwork for sustained success, says Klopp
LONDON, United Kingdom (AFP) — Jurgen Klopp has warned Liverpool's Premier League rivals that the leaders are laying the foundations for long-term success.
Klopp's side sit four points clear at the top as they chase Liverpool's first English title since 1990.
But the Liverpool boss does not want this season's potential title triumph to be a one-off.
The German believes the willingness of Liverpool's owner John W Henry to reward star players with improved contracts is key to fulfilling his ambition for sustained success.
Andrew Robertson is the latest to commit himself to the club. His new five-year contract follows long-term deals for Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, Joe Gomez and Jordan Henderson.
"In general it's always a good sign to have the opportunity to extend contracts early," Klopp told reporters on Friday.
"If we can keep these boys together, we are in the middle of our development, so it's good news for Liverpool.
"These 17-18 players plus the really young boys, that's the squad of the future. It should be like this. It's investment, the club gave us the opportunity to do it. Really nice."
Klopp is yet to win a trophy since taking charge at Liverpoolm but there are plenty of signs he is on the verge of ending that drought this term.
While Klopp would not be drawn on just how successful Liverpool can be with their current crop, he agreed they are now strong enough, on and off the pitch, for a period of challenging for major honours.
"Progress is something everybody should expect. The club gave us a fantastic opportunity to bring in outstanding players, to keep outstanding players. My job is to make sure we perform on the pitch," he said.
"Where will we be in two or three years? I have no idea but the age group is good. This season will not finish our development.
"It doesn't look like we'll lose any key player (and) we build a new training ground, another step in the future."
Liverpool are likely to offer promising youngster Ki-Jana Hoever a professional contract after he turned 17 yesterday.
The Dutch youth international became the third-youngest player in the club's history when he made his debut in the FA Cup defeat at Wolves earlier this month.
"He can sign professional now. If you turn 17, life should be really cool, yeah?" added Klopp ahead of Saturday's clash with Crystal Palace.

James Bond 25: 'TENSE behind-the-scenes, new director will be RULED OVER by Daniel Craig'
JAMES BOND 25 is getting "tense" behind-the-scenes and Danny Boyle's replacement needs to be prepared to be "ruled over" by Daniel Craig, it is alleged.
James Bond 25 appears to be in something of a production limbo after director Danny Boyle and screenwriter John Hodge pulled out of the film.
And now Daily Mail's Baz Bamigboye, who has proven to be something of a reliable Bond insider over the years, has given an exiting update.
He alleges: "There's a lot of pressure on the producers of James Bond 25 to find a filmmaker to take over from Danny Boyle, who quit when Daniel Craig and fellow producers insisted on replacing screenwriter John Hodge.
"Several studio sound-stages were booked for the picture. Problem is: do they hang on to them, or give them up?"
Interestingly this is the third rumoured reason for Boyle leaving Bond 25.
Firstly an insider alleged that Craig and the director disagreed on casting Cold War actor Tomasz Kot as the Bond villain.
Then came the claim Craig wanted 007 to die at the end of Bond 25, while Boyle's wasn't up for doing that.
And now the Daily Mail says it was because Craig and producers wanted Hodge replaced as screenwriter.
James Bond 25: 'TENSE behind-the-scenes, new director will be RULED OVER by Daniel Craig'
Whatever the reason, Baz claimed: "Tense situation behind the scenes, finding a director prepared to be ruled over by Mr Craig."
There seems to be a lot at stake for Craig when it comes to his fifth and final Bond movie.
The general consensus among Bond fans is that Craig's Casino Royale and Skyfall were really terrific, while Quantum of Solace and Spectre were not quite the same standard.
And so with one more Bond film to go for Craig, it's not surprising that it's believed he wants go out with a bang.
However with Hodge and Boyle now gone, it's not clear what will happen next.
Either a new director will be found quickly and they'll go ahead with Bond 25's original filming schedule starting this December, or it will be postponed.
Of course the story is also up in the air now, assuming Hodge's script isn't used and they go with the original Neal Purvis and Robert Wade story instead.
James Bond 25 is set for release in October 2019, but could be delayed.

6TL FastATE Modules
Today's test engineers are required to concentrate on device testability together with test Operations. They may be operating various assignments in parallel, most likely on a restricted schedule. But yet primarily, to identify the best ATE architecture, they must take into consideration its actual hidden maintenance expenditures, the real modularity of the device, together with the continuous maintainablity.
With 6TL's FastATE devices, test engineers do not need to handle the long-term actions of any project mainly because an 6TL module already fills the majority of responsibilities for them. This module is a high-level block that takes care of one required long-term purpose of the ATE.
The 6TL FastATE Modules, include:
