3 Ways to Find Extra Cash for Christmas
It's still summer, but not too early to start planning for Christmas. If you're ready to make this year a debt-free Christmas, I've got three very useful ways to find the extra cash you'll need to do that.
Time is of the essence because Christmas will be here before we know it!
Rather than choose one of the following options, I suggest you consider doing all three. Don't let that intimidate you. And don't worry about having to start up a side business or make any kind of upfront investment, either. The options that follow are all free and require nothing but your spare time to begin racking up extra cash.
Swagbucks is an online rewards program that gives users points ("Swag Bucks," or SBs) for various tasks—100 points = $1.00. Points can be traded in for eGift cards for more than 1,500 popular merchants like Amazon, Target, Starbucks and Walmart. Don't want gift cards? Redeem your points for cold, hard cash via PayPal.
Swagbucks rewards members for the everyday things they already do online like shopping, answering surveys and polls, watching entertaining videos, discovering videos, searching the web and even playing games.
Members can earn SBs using the mobile app and from their computers.
To get started, create your free Swagbucks account. Once verified (you'll get a verification email message) you'll get your first 5 SBs. Then take a quick survey or watch a 5-minute video. The opportunities to earn SBs will be endless. Do as little or as much as you want.
Swagbucks is super easy to use and you'll be amazed how quickly you can earn SBs. We have EC readers who earn hundreds of dollars every year that they earmark for Christmas shopping!
You can choose to speed up your earnings by searching for online tutorials and following Swagbucks' Facebook Page.
Ebates is a free rebate site that you've read about here and here. I hope you are already earning cash-back rebates when you shop online at any number of popular retailers like Amazon, Old Navy, Chico's, JCPenney, Lowes, Groupon. If not, click here to open your free account. It's super easy and quite amazing how much you can earn on purchases you would have made anyway.
Here's the way you can turbo charge your Ebates account to give you even more extra cash this Christmas. Refer friends and relatives to open their free Ebates account. Ebates will pay you whopping $25 for every new member you refer who then shops and makes a purchase at one of its partner merchants sites. And there is no limit to how many referral fees you can earn. When you opened your Ebates account, you got your own unique referral link, which you can use at will—even on social media.
Because Ebates sends checks out once each quarter, you need to get going now to make sure you have the cash in hand for Christmas.
If you feel fairly comfortable navigating websites, testing websites and giving your honest feedback may be your ideal side hustle. UserTesting is a company that tests websites to give feedback to site developers. They need people like you who are not familiar with those websites, to test them and give valuable feedback from the typical user's standpoint.
To get started, watch this video, by Bob Lovitch from SeedTime, and then this video from the UserTesting site. Both will walk you through the steps to get started and to qualify as a tester so you can start earning cash—up to $30 an hour. Testers can easily complete three tests ($10 each) per hour—when they want and in their spare time.
Once you sign up to be a website user tester, you'll take a qualifying test. Once you submit your test results, it takes 2 to 3 days to hear back. It is not unusual to not pass the test on the first try. Just know that, don't get discouraged and plan to try again. Once you get the hang of how to give excellent test responses, you'll be on your way.
There you go, three ways to find extra cash for Christmas. Get started today!

Natural solutions for teenage acne
Acne is a problem that affects teenagers and young adults, and can be experienced into adulthood. It's mainly caused by a bacterium that infects the skins pores, forming spots and pimples. Hormonal imbalance, low levels of good gut bacteria, and inadequate diet are factors. Sugar, fizzy drinks, tea, coffee, wheat, and dairy products may aggravate your skin. Keep these foods to a minimum during flare ups.
Solo SKN Clear contains a fantastic combination of herbs and vitamins for mild, severe, or inflamed acne. The blend is antibacterial, cleansing, immune supporting, and hormone balancing. The nutrients heal scars and nourish the skin. It targets inflammation reducing pain and discomfort.
Natures Aid Pro Derma is a new supplement that I spoke about recently. It's a good choice for mild to moderate acne. It contains probiotics/good bacteria, and vitamins to heal and nourish the skin. It includes Zinc, Copper, Chromium, and choline as well as specific bacteria essential for good gut health. It also includes Vitamin A which is vital to ensure that the skin is neither too oily nor too dry. It's a fantastic combination to heal the skin, support immunity, and support liver function. A good choice if you've been on antibiotics.
For mild acne, or to keep your skin in radiant condition take Terra Nova Beauty Complex. It contains herbs to cleanse and detox, and improve circulation so that nutrients can reach the skin more effectively. It contains vitamin C too which is an important part of collagen production. B5 promotes wound and scar healing, and is included to help reduce stress. Terra Nova never use fillers or binders, and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Use natural cleansing products that won't harm your skin. Aknodren 2 step treatment is a good example, it consists of two lotions-cleansing, and purifying. The purifying lotion is made with natural ingredients for intensive care for problem skin at any age. It's antiseptic, astringent, and anti-bacterial to fight spots and pimples. It reduces blemishes, and minimizes pores. It soothes, calms, and balances.
Aknedoron Cleansing Lotion deep cleanses problem skin gently but effectively without stripping the skin's natural protective layer. They contain no harsh ingredients and are suitable for teenagers and adults.

Twinclip - The Best Solution for Perfect Mowing
The Twinclip 50 SVE-R B features in our new range of Stiga Twinclip lawnmowers, with new technology designed in every detail to achieve the best peformance on any terrain and with minimal effort. This premium self-propelled lawnmower is powered by a 163cc Briggs & Stratton 675 IS Series InStart engine and features a robust galvanised steel chassis with a powder coated paint finish for longevity and boasts a double-edged blade, doubling mowing efficiency and power for the perfect cut. The leading edge of the Twinclip blade reduces the initial length of the grass with the second cutting edge reducing the finished length down to the desired height. The cuttings are cut and re-cut through the blades as they are blown into the collector, resulting in noticeable extra mowing capacity.
The 163cc Briggs & Stratton 675 IS Series InStart engine provides plenty of power to deal with the toughest of conditions. The large diameter steel rear roller is driven by a heavy duty Hi-Torque cone clutch transmission with a torque convertor which combines light and easy operation with smooth acceleration through an infinite range of cutting speeds.
The Twinclip 50 SVE-R B also features the Stiga VCS system as standard, which reduces vibration to an all day working level of 3.3 metres per second squared.
Easily operated by a single lever, the deck has a choice of 8 cutting height positions ranging from 13 to 65mm and will produce a great finish on your lawn whatever the conditions. In just one movement, Twinclip will cut the grass twice, doubling the efficiency, improving the finish and optimising grass collection.
Cleaning after use is facilitated using a hose connection fitted to the chassis. The robust handle bars are easily adjusted to a choice of 3 postiions with a simple one motion click, and fold over the engine for easy storage.
The Twinclip 50 SVE-R B is supported by a 5 year manufacturer's warranty. The 48cm/19" cutting width makes this great Twinclip roller mower suitable for moderate size gardens up 50m x 50m.
Delivery Information: This lawnmower will be delivered by our premium White Glove delivery service. Your local Stiga authorised dealer will prepare the machine with a thorough pre-delivery inspection and then deliver it ready to use at a time convenient to you and demonstrate its safe use on handover.
Please allow up to 7 working days for delivery, however, if your local dealer has the machine in stock then delivery would normally be much sooner.
This premium delivery service is available free of charge with this machine.
The washing link makes it easy to clean the cutting deck

Two University of Portsmouth students and sports scholars have been selected to compete in a major international rugby sevens tournament in Mexico.
Kanisha Vincent plays for Trinidad and Tobago, and Jake Caddy plays for Barbados.
The Rugby North America tournament is in Mexico City this weekend, November 25-26.
Kanisha is studying for her MSc sports performance at Portsmouth. She was a member of the Trinidad and Tobago sevens international team which came third in the 2015 North American and Caribbean sevens.
She said: "Being selected to the Trinidad and Tobago Women's Rugby 7s Team for the RAN tournament in Mexico is an amazing opportunity. On the back of this tournament, the winning team will have the opportunity to compete in a host of major tournaments in 2018 such as the Commonwealth Games, HSBC 7s in Hong Kong, and the Rugby 7s World Cup, so it's really uplifting knowing that the team wants me to be a part of that.
"I've been playing rugby for about six or seven years now and I've been a part of the national team for five or six of those years.
"Over the years, I've fashioned my playing style after local greats like Juliana Straker and international phenomenon like DJ Forbes, mixing it all together to create the brand of rugby that is inherently mine.
"In 7s, I tend to play in the forwards so either prop or hooker. I'm really excited to see how everything unfolds on the 25th and 26th of November in Mexico."
Jake is studying for his BA in human geography at Portsmouth. He has been playing rugby since he was five years old after his Dad, a keen rugby advocate, got him started at their local club. His rugby hero is Kurtley Beale.
Jake has one senior cap for Barbados and has previously played for the Barbados under 18 squad in the international Junior World Cup and, the following year, for the under 19 squad. He played for Barbados sevens International in the Rio 2016 warm up games, and represented Nike 7s in the Amsterdam International Tournament last May, losing to Ireland in the semi-final.
Jake will be playing centre/fly-half in the tournament alongside his brother, Lestyn.
Jake said: "Being selected means a lot to me. I am very proud of where I come from. My Mother and Grandmother are also very proud of where they come from, so given the opportunity to represent them as well as Barbados makes me very honoured. To be selected alongside my older brother as well makes it more special."
The University of Portsmouth has sports scholars representing a broad spectrum, from shooting to skiing.
The sports scholar programme is open to 20 talented students a year. It includes financial help towards equipment, competition and training; physiotherapy and sports massage; a personal mentor to liaise with academic staff; free access to all sports facilities; specialist strength and conditioning facilities and programmes; free physiotherapy; and free membership of the British Universities and Colleges Sports (BUCS).
Paul Tilley, Head of Sport and Recreation at the University, said: "Kanisha and Jake are among the best of our student athletes with a long pedigree in international elite sport. We are proud they chose to study at Portsmouth and delighted to support them through our scholarship programme. We wish them both all our very best for their upcoming tournament."
Previous sports scholars at the University include Lauren Steadman, who won silver at the 2016 Paralympics for triathlon in Rio, and Dan Bentley, who won gold in the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing, and bronze in the 2012 Paralympics in London, both for boccia.

A Brief Guide to Ghost Hunting reviewed by Dr Tom Ruffles:
In an age when ghost hunting groups proliferate but their standards are often woefully inadequate, solid and reliable information on how to carry out an investigation properly is essential. In response to that need, Leo Ruickbie has written a useful guide which will assist investigators to conduct meaningful research. Subtitled 'How to Identify and Investigate Spirits, Poltergeists, Hauntings and Other Paranormal Activity', its progression is logical, taking the reader through the process of evaluation, equipment, investigation methods, analysis, and interpretation of results. In addition he discusses more general issues of psychical research, drawing heavily on the files of the Society for Psychical Research (SPR) and the Ghost Club. Supplementing such historical material he conducted two surveys, the 'Ghost Hunting Survey', interviewing investigators, and a 'Preliminary Survey of Hauntings', the latter examining nearly a thousand reports from across the UK.

At a recent panel on P3 risk allocation, speakers agreed that the April 2017 contract reached between Ohio State and ENGIE North America to manage the university's energy systems wasn't likely to be repeated. The 50-year agreement is defined in a 2,000-page contract with performance specifications that are two inches thick, they said, which renders the agreement unenforceable. A better alternative, they said, would be to increase the transfer of risk to the private partner, and reduce the degree of public control, and therefore, the amount of oversight of private performance.

State landmarks to go dark tonight for 'Earth Hour'
Millions expected to take part in global environmental campaign

Lights will be switched off at several landmark sites across the State at 8.30pm tonight as part of the global environmental initiative Earth Hour.
Millions of people in over 150 countries are expected to turn off their lights for one hour tonight as part of World Wildlife Fund campaign to highlight the need to tackle climate change.
Among the State buildings at which lights will be switched off are Leinster House, the Custom House, the Rock of Cashel, Trim Castle, Ross Castle and Ennis Friary.
Across the world many iconic landmarks will go dark including Sydney Harbour Bridge, Christ the redeemer statue and the Eiffel Tower.
Last year Earth Hour saw over 7,000 towns and cities across 154 countries take part including landmarks such as the Las Vegas Strip, the Kremlin, New York's Times Square, Sydney Opera House, Beijing's Bird Nest stadium, Niagara Falls and the Eiffel Tower.
Minister for the Environment Phil Hogan urged people to support the "powerful symbolic initiative by turning out the lights from half past eight to half past nine on Saturday night".
People are asked to show support by switching off non-essential lighting between 8.30pm and 9.30pm on Saturday night.
"The extent to which the Earth Hour idea has spread across the globe shows the degree of worldwide concern for our environment," he said in a statement.
Now in its eighth year, the mass participation event comes as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change prepares to launch its latest report in Japan on Monday, outlining how global warming will affect wildlife, food supplies, water and the weather.
"It's fortuitous timing that as millions of people take part in WWF's Earth Hour, the world's leading scientists release the latest IPCC report, which highlights the various impacts of climate change," said Colin Butfield, director of public engagement and campaigns at WWF-UK
. "The significance of these two events is massive. Climate change is the biggest environmental threat facing our planet – it's real, it's happening right now, and we need to act fast."
More information on Earth Hour can be found on earthhour.org.

July. Like most people in the U.S., I associate it with watermelon, fireworks, hot days. But this July for me is a "geek in" — my term for spending between 10 minutes and 10 hours each day coding for the Web.
I've been doing a monthly practice of forming new habits or changing old patterns in my life since February. It's my version of what Leo Babauta so tirelessly recommends in his fabulous blog, Zen Habits.
At the same time, I managed to over-extended myself in a big way — having committed to far too many volunteer activities. I truly cared about each of the many things I was doing, but it was just too much. And I paid the price I hear many wise people speak of in many places — in particular Thomas Merton.
"There is a pervasive form of contemporary violence to which the idealist… most easily succumbs: activism and overwork. The rush and pressure of modern life are a form, perhaps the most common form, of its innate violence. To allow oneself to be carried away by the multitude of conflicting concerns, to surrender to too many demands, to commit oneself to too many projects, to want to help everyone in everything, is to succumb to violence… It destroys the fruitfulness of his own work, because it kills the root of inner wisdom which makes work fruitful."
Thomas Merton
Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander, 1966
I happened on this quote in May, when I was at my lowest ebb. Nothing was wrong in my life. My family is the best. I love my job. My team is stellar and the work rewarding. I loved volunteering too. I can't say enough good things about my church and the other non-profits I'm involved with. There were even moments of joy.
Nevertheless, I was reduced to that mode of putting one foot in front of another — having trouble sleeping many nights, teeth clenched on my worst days. And I lived with great fear that I would lash out from exhaustion when faced with life's inevitable conflicts. I'm pretty sure I didn't — at least not directly. But that fear is every bit as draining as remorse. In a way, it's reliving remorse.
Then I heard Tara Brach read the words of Thomas Merton. As this wisdom percolated into me, the quote served as a clarion call to return to myself, to the present moment, to what matters most.
For me one of the things that has mattered most over the last 18 years has been creating the Web. As with most momentous things, I have trouble articulating why it matters so. The word creation is certainly a key part . As The Artist's Way points out so beautifully, we humans are all about creating. Another key part is the generous sharing of information — how countless numbers of people put incalculably valuable information out there where anyone with Web access can help themselves.
But over the last year, I've drifted further and further from this soul-source of mine. Actually, it's been in the making for longer than that. As best I can tell the reason is not fully believing how important this is to me. How could something mean this much to me when it didn't exist when I was born? (Not even in science fiction.) I don't know the answer to that one. Perhaps it's a koan. I just believe that it is so. And this month is an exploration of that possibility.
One week has been a strong affirmation. Mostly I've been digging into the fundamentals of responsive design. I've taken the Skeleton boilerplate and from it have built the rudiments of a foundational WordPress theme. It's nothing I can share, but of course I have ideas for the future — once I'm a tad bit more comfortable with this.
But this first week I've been on vacation. Next week will be a much more real test of my belief in the Web as a soul-source, not to mention my resolution. Hopefully I'll keep you posted, since this blog is now a way to hold me accountable….

From his early days in influential group dcTalk (with Michael Tait and Kevin Max) to his very first solo album, Momentum, TobyMac has worked hard to inspire his audience with words of conviction, hope, empowerment and the redemption found in his faith in God.
"I want my music to depict what I'm going through. I want to write about the things that upset me, move me, hurt me and haunt me. The things that are real," he says.
Gotee Records is the record label that was started by TobyMac, Joey Elwood, and Todd Collins in 1994. The present day in the Gotee story is much like the label's early days. Through all the changes in a tumultuous music industry, the boutique label's independent spirit is maintained through a steady focus on artist development and diversity.

Wednesday Feb 13, 2019
KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Wednesday ordered the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to file a reference against former provincial minister Ziaul Hasan Lanjar for alleged corruption and misuse of power.
SHC Chief Justice Ahmed Ali Sheikh further directed NAB to present a report by March 20.
As the hearing of the case against the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader went under way, the NAB prosecutor informed the court that Lanjar is not cooperating in the probe. Directing the former provincial minister to cooperate with the accountability watchdog, the bench remarked, "Respond to the questionnaire that NAB issues."
The NAB prosecutor continued, "An inquiry against Lanjar is under way and further documents are being collected."
"We have also traced Lanjar's bungalow in Karachi's Defence area which is worth Rs90 million and was not mentioned in his asset declaration form. During the inquiry, it was found that the sale agreement of the bungalow is in his name and but he has transferred the property in his father-in-law's name," the NAB prosecutor told the court.
"Lanjar through a front-man deposited public funds, including that of a medical college, in his own accounts," the NAB prosecutor alleged.
Following this, the court expressed anger over the absence of Lanjar's counsel, Farooq H Naek, from today's hearing.
When junior counsel, Shiraz Rajpar, informed the court that Naek was busy in Islamabad, the SHC CJ remarked, "We highly respect Naek but who will run this case and how long will it go on for?"
The SHC CJ added, "Ask him and tell us when he can appear before the court, we cannot adjourn the case unnecessarily."
After hearing the NAB prosecutor's arguments, the court directed the accountability watchdog to file a reference against Lanjar and submit a report by March 20.

We were supposed to move the boat up to Burnt Store Marina this week-end, but the weather was not good for a first cruise. Wind were around 20 kts with gust at 25.
We took the opportunity to make some more work. The GPS is now ready to go. We tested the alcohol burner as well (not so bad) and the toilet…that is never the funny part in a boat. Seems we have a small leak there that we will need to fix. Water tank has been filled completely.
The boat has been as well loaded with essential stuff, so we don't need a truck each time.
We looked the diesel but the only thing we were able to do is to add some oil. For the rest I really need someone to show me. It looks easy on internet but much more complex in real life. Plus, the access is not very easy. I hope it will hold the trip. We want to sail our way up anyway !
The barbecue has been as well set up and tested despite the cold temperature: around 47 during the night.
Barbecue with 50 F…
Last news is the addition of the cat to the crew. It was a first contact with the boat and it went very well. She made her home right away and exploring her new territory.
The bad surprise was water in the bilge. We don't know why. It was full. We never had that in the past. We had a few theories of a few new things we did: use the toilet, fill the water tank. We tested both after detecting the water, but we could not see anything obvious and the water does not seems to come back. (at least quick enough). We will see when we come back next week-end.
Next week we should be on our way for a 40 miles trip up north.

This page has been setup to show the benefits of On Site optimization for the phrase Estate Agents East Belfast. We are using Pooler Estate Agents in Cregagh as the example agent.
On this page, you can see that we have used the Estate Agent area in the page title and the description, as well as the header. We have then included an image of East Belfast and listed the services provided. Finally, a link back to Pooler Estate Agents gives some authority to this page, that is is related to this area of business.
Our service is designed to take the burden of managing vacant property away from the administrators of an Estate and to offer peace of mind where they can be absolutely certain that the interests of the Estate and all its beneficiaries are the main priority. Our services include the following:
We provide a written probate valuation for the Solicitor administering the estate and send copies to the Executor.
Including antiques and other valuables.
Insurance companies generally allow a period of time where they are happy to continue cover of properties that have become vacant. We check the present insurance cover and provide vacant insurance renewals where necessary.
We offer a key holding service and inspect property on a weekly basis to adhere to the obligations of vacant property insurance. We provide utilities management and on-going buildings and garden maintenance where required.
Either individual items or full house clearance can be arranged through our contractors.
As estate sales are liable to be chain free from the vendors aspect it allows us to market and sell properties by offering them at an attractive starting price to encourage a bid - up situation. Given the correct amount of time and exposure to the market, this results in top prices and gives us the opportunity to select the buyer in the most promising position to complete the sale in a timely manner.
To help us to complete sales in a reasonable time-frame, bidders will be asked to provide details of their finance and proof of funding prior to making an offer. We have strict completion timetables, and will encourage solicitor with carriage of sale to have title documents and draft contract available, when property initially goes on the market.
The cost of our full management service for vacant property is £20 plus vat per week or part week to include written probate valuation. All other costs including insurance premiums, house and garden maintenance, house clearance, specialist valuation of valuables and Estate Agents sales or rental commission to be pre-approved by Executor. For an introductory period the management costs of vacant property will be free if Pooler Estate Agents are engaged as sole agents in the sale or rental of the main residence.

Launch event for The Good Shepherd Multi Academy Trust
Mar 28, 2014
The Diocese of Carlisle's new Multi Academy Trust – The Good Shepherd Multi Academy Trust – will be officially launched on Wednesday 2 April, 2014.
Education officials and senior clergy will join Headteachers and governors at the special launch event at the Newton Rigg campus near Penrith.
It follows approval last June from the Department for Education for the diocese to become an academy sponsor.
Michael Mill, the diocese's Director of Education, Children and Young People, said: "This launch event marks an important milestone for The Good Shepherd Multi Academy Trust.
"Since receiving approval to become an academy sponsor, a huge amount of work has been ongoing to enable us to reach this point.
"Detailed policy documents, legal frameworks and a draft scheme of delegation are in place for those who join our Trust's family of schools.
"And there's been ongoing dialogue with our church schools across the county about the many advantages of becoming a member of our Trust.
"We are excited by the thought that our Trust will offer children of all faiths and none, in all schools, an excellent educational provision within a caring and supportive Christian ethos."
In recent months there have been a series of meetings with schools and clergy from across the county to explain more about the visions and values of the Trust.
Benefits to schools of joining the Trust include the opportunities for sustainability, to shape the future together and develop curriculum innovation; it will be a place where everyone has something to offer. This is coupled with the advantages of working with other partner schools to help create improved economies of scale and quality services.
The Trust will be inviting schools to join and where appropriate act as a sponsor for schools that need additional support.
The ultimate aim is to ensure robust and prolonged school improvement within a Christian ethos and structure. The Trust will be open to all community schools to join that share our vision and values.
The launch event will take place at the Conference Centre at Newton Rigg on Wednesday 2 April, 2014, from 5pm to 7pm.
The Bishop of Penrith, the Rt Rev'd Robert Freeman will officially welcome those attending.
Michael Mill will lead a presentation on The Good Shepherd Multi Academy Trust and the invited audience will also hear from Headteachers of schools in existing Multi Academy Trusts.
There will also be the chance to hear more about how schools can become a member of the Trust and its newly-published prospectus will also be available.
Mr Mill added: "We have a rich history of providing educational excellence through our church schools. We have 105 Church of England schools and academies in the Diocese of Carlisle which cater for eleven thousand pupils. The Trust will build on this excellent foundation in education provision across Cumbria."

Religion does many things. It can form bonds between people, foment conflicts, and inspire people to sacrifice for higher causes. But one of the most important things that religions do is create meaning. Meaning in life is difficult to define, but people who report more meaning in their lives are psychologically healthier and less likely to suffer from mental illness than those who don't. Consider the profound distress that many returning veterans face when returning to civilian society from a military world that, despite its many hardships, is suffused with meaning. Understanding how military life creates meaning – and why modern society often fails at creating it – reveals some of the deepest secrets of human culture.
I don't often cite TED talks here, but a couple of recent talks are so good that I'm breaking that rule. The first is by Adam Driver, the actor who portrays Kylo Ren in the recent Star Wars films The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. Before becoming a famous movie person,* Driver was an enlisted U.S. Marine. An injury prevented him from deploying to war with his platoon and led to a discharge. You'd think that injury was a great stroke of luck, since it sent him off on his current career trajectory – but Driver still maintains that becoming a Marine was one of his life's proudest accomplishments.
What's fascinating is Driver's powerfully articulate description of why it was challenging to re-integrate with civilian life. It wasn't the memories of combat, since – remember– Driver never saw any fighting. Instead, it was the fact that everything in the military, from the smallest details to the biggest decisions, has a meaning and a reason:
I was surprised by how complex the transition was from military to civilian.…I struggled to find meaning. In the military, everything has meaning. Everything you do is either steeped in tradition or has a practical purpose. You can't smoke in the field because you don't want to give away your position. You don't touch your face, because you have to maintain a personal level of health and hygiene. You face this way when "Colors" plays out of respect to those people who went before you. You walk this way because of this, you talk this way because of that.
So, although "meaning" is a tricky thing to define, Driver helps us understand where meaning comes from. Our shared choices about how to do things, from standing in a certain way to decorating a uniform with a particular pattern, can be random, or they can be intentional. The things we do for a reason are those that have "meaning." They fit into a pattern of human intentions and purpose.
For example, there are thirteen stripes on the American flag for a reason (to represent the thirteen original American colonies). During a Passover seder, participants spill or place drops of wine on their plates for a reason (to remember the plagues that heralded the Exodus from Egypt). And in the Marines, practically everything – down to the smallest detail – is done for a reason, whether that reason is a practical one or simply tradition.
Of course, the everyday world isn't completely lacking in meaning. But the sheer density of meaning in military life is striking. Even the smallest details about, say, how to stand during ceremonial music are carefully taught and passed down, pounded into recruits' heads during training. So when a Marine stands at attention during morning colors, it's not just rote rule-following. It's an intentional act that evokes a whole web of particular associations – the people who came before in the Corps, the history of the military, memories of boot camp training. In a world filled with meaning, each thing refers to everything else.
But here's the secret: it's all invented.
This isn't the same as saying it it's not real. The rules and regulations, the ceremonies and the music – all the details and decisions that infuse military life with meaning are absolutely real. But they're not raw objective facts in the same way that, say, the strong nuclear force or the mass of the Earth are. The strong nuclear force doesn't vary from culture to culture. It doesn't emerge out of social convention. It's just there – constant, aloof, holding the atoms of the universe together.
By contrast, the rules, rituals, and symbols that define and generate meaning within a particular culture – say, the culture of the U.S. Marines, or of the Roman Catholic Church – are the products of human agreement. In terms of natural laws, the Marine uniform could be designed any old way. It's only because of convention and tradition that it happens to be laid out the way it is. And yet the arbitrariness is exactly what makes the uniform – like so much of military life – so deeply meaningful to the people who wear it. Rank insignia go here, ribbons go there. The scarlet trousers stripe is one width for generals, another for non-commissioned officers. Every detail is intentional. Everything means something.
So the way that highly ritualistic cultures – like the military or traditional religions – generate meaning is simple: they add a thick, complex layer of intentional decisions on top of pure physical reality.
What's more, in a meaning-rich culture, many decisions about how to do things – like celebrate holidays, decorate buildings, or maintain uniforms – are relatively coherent. They each make sense in relation to each other, and there's an overall logic that unites them as a whole.
Of course, nobody lives in a perfectly meaningful world. But some worlds are more meaningful than others. And for many of its members, the military is more filled with meaning – in the sense of a thick layer of details, rituals, and traditions that all roughly cohere together – than the civilian society they left behind.
Now, here's the thing: in general, the more meaning a culture offers, the tighter its communities will be. Meaning is a social thing, after all. It takes a community to come up with the basic tools for generating meaning – standards, conventions, and traditions. (The very word "tradition" comes from a Latin root meaning "to hand over" or "to hand down," which implies a relationship between at least two people.)Accordingly, psychologists have found that meaning in life has a lot to do with relationships. People who care for family members report feeling a lot of meaning, even if they're not as happy as people with fewer responsibilities. Working toward a shared goal evokes meaning. So does being religious.
In short, you could say that "meaning" is what happens when symbols overlap with sociality.
Which means that lack of meaning can result when there are fewer relationships and fewer coherent symbols. So it's not too surprising that Adam Driver had trouble finding meaning in life after he rejoined civilian society. In the military,
…Your rank said something about your history and the respect you had earned. In the civilian world there's no rank. Here, you're just another body. …There didn't seem to be a sense of community. Whereas in the military I felt this sense of community.
You're just another body.
When meaning is stripped away – when the culturally invented layer of symbols, rituals, and conventions is removed – then, by definition, the only thing left is the physical layer. And so community becomes harder to maintain. Human communities depend on symbols and traditions, after all. They're not physical "natural kinds" like water or the strong nuclear force. In a real sense, communities are made of symbols, rituals, traditions, and conventions.
But in civilian American culture, a lot of those traditions and symbols are pretty weak. This isn't too surprising, since we're one of the most individualistic societies in the world. But the disjunct between military and civilian life raises some big questions.
Sebastian Junger, a war correspondent and award-winning journalist, informs us in another TED talk that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is going up among U.S. military veterans, even though the actual amount and intensity of combat is going down:
(With) every war that we have fought as a country, starting with the Civil War, the intensity of the combat has gone down. As a result, the casualty rates have gone down. But disability rates have gone up.…About 10% of the U.S. military is actively engaged in combat. …But about half of our military has filed for some sort of PTSD compensation from the government.
Why would psychological trauma be so sky-high among modern veterans, when the vast majority of them don't actually see combat? Well, as Driver articulated, when soldiers are with their units, meaning is everywhere. Everything has its place. And, Junger reminds us, soldiers in a unit are focused on a shared goal:
Maybe they had an experience of sort of tribal closeness in their unit when they were overseas. They were eating together, sleeping together, doing tasks and missions together. They were trusting each other with their lives. And then they come home, and they have to give all of that up.
So the current epidemic of military PTSD may have more to do with the shock of leaving a world that's rich with meaning – in both the social and the symbolic senses – than with the rigors of combat:
Maybe what determines the rate of long-term PTSD isn't what happened out there, but the kind of society you come back to. And maybe if you come back to a close, cohesive, tribal society, you can get over trauma pretty quickly. And if you come back to an alienating modern society, you might remain traumatized your entire life. In other words, maybe the problem isn't them, the vets. Maybe the problem is us.
I don't want to romanticize or oversimplify anything here. I'm sure plenty of people don't find military life meaningful, and plenty of civilians enjoy a rich sense of meaning. But these two TED talks powerfully illustrate how humans work together to generate meaning using rituals, traditions, and symbols – and how community is impossible to disentangle from this. The military just happens to offer an especially potent version of this meaning-making process.
Religion, too, is a distilled form of cultural meaning-making. If you sit down at a Passover seder table, nearly every detail is intentional. It means something. The same is true for the liturgy of a Catholic mass, or the structure of a mosque, or the rules of behavior inside a Buddhist temple.
In a way, "religion" is a word we use to describe the ways that humans add imaginative content – symbols, traditions, rituals – onto physical reality. You could say that the military uses "religious" tools abundantly to create meaning, but modern, secular, civilian society uses them much less consistently. As a result, modern cultures can suffer a vacuum of meaning.
Humans are animals, but we're not just bodies. We're cultural creatures, programmed from birth to expect cultural guidance and input, and to be surrounded by symbols and traditions. Our lives lose meaning when we don't get those things. Adam Driver's and Sebastian Junger's talks remind us that what we want out of life, as human animals, is a lot more than just comfort. We want meaning. In fact, we'll sacrifice a lot of comfort to get a world full of meaning – even if it means getting yelled at by a drill instructor, or fasting for Lent.
If you're interested in learning more about how culture creates meaning, check out the books below. The fact that their titles are almost identical is not intentional, but it is funny. The author of the first book is an analytic philosopher, while the authors of the second book were sociologists, which means that they almost certainly looked down on each other. But they're both worth reading anyway.

DEAR BARRY: We just listed our home for sale because crime in the neighborhood has become intolerable. The neighbors next door have been dealing drugs and the police have raided their house twice in the past year. We were planning to disclose these circumstances to buyers, but our agent says this kind of disclosure may not be a legal requirement. She's going to check this out with her broker. What are your thoughts on this matter? –Gerry
DEAR GERRY: Your agent has a distorted perspective regarding real estate disclosure. She is apparently asking herself, "What do I legally have to disclose?" rather than simply disclosing every known fact that would be of concern to buyers.

Chancery Applies Corwin Doctrine to Medium-Form Merger Absent Controller Conflict
English v. Narang, C.A. No. 2018-0221-AGB (Del. Ch. Mar. 20, 2019).
Under the well-known Corwin doctrine, when a transaction not subject to the entire fairness standard of review is approved by a fully informed, uncoerced vote of the disinterested stockholders, the business judgment rule applies. Corwin's cleansing effect applies not just to affirmative votes in favor of long-form mergers, but also to acceptance of tender offers for medium-form mergers, like the merger in this case. This Corwin dismissal is notable for its unique facts—the target's substantial blockholder (34%) with voting control (84.5%). But, as this decision explains, the mere existence of a controlling stockholder does not give rise to entire fairness review and take a case outside of Corwin. For that to happen, the transaction must also involve some sort of disabling conflict for the controller. Here, the complaint lacked specific factual allegations to sustain the plaintiffs' theory that the controller had an emergency liquidity need and thus received a unique benefit from tendering. In this regard, the Court found insufficient plaintiffs' conclusory contention that the controller needed to liquidate his position as part of his estate planning and wealth management strategy following his retirement because his holdings made up most of his net worth.

In world soccer, stereotypes of national style serve as crutches for casual observers. Spain's sultry short-passing game is soccer perfection. The English are full of derring-do but lack confidence. Argentina are rich with talent but too neurotic to win.
The Germans were long considered to be masters of joyless, mechanical soccer, with function not just dominating form, but leaving it for dead. Yet watching them over the last 18 months has been a revelation as they've lately, and quietly, broken with their mold: big wins over England (4-1) and Argentina (4-0) at the 2010 World Cup using a revamped formation and young, quick squad, finishing third; a perfect 10-0-0 in Euro 2012 qualification; and confident exhibition victories against Brazil (3-2) and Holland (3-0) with an even younger, more experimental team.
"Classic" Germany–the one defined by square-jawed, stoic demigods like Lothar Matthaus, Berti Vogts, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Michael Ballack, and the downright frightening Oliver Kahn–is dead, and pleasingly so. The spontaneous combustion of the new class–Mesut Ozil, Thomas Mueller, and Lukas Podolski swarming in support of Miroslav Klose in the penalty area, with Mario Gotze unleashing his jet-heeled brilliance coming off the bench–seems wholly un-German compared to the controlled explosions of Ballack and Co. But when viewed in context of the system that created them, it feels natural. Compared to the natural ease of Spanish soccer or the fiery genetics of Brazil, the Germans solved their soccer stagnation at the turn of the 21st century with a typically left-brained Teutonic approach to a right-brain problem, the end result being a team drilled in the art of individualism. Where German teams used to collapse so predictably if their Plan A faltered, they're now so well schooled in self-expression from an early age that their in-game possibilities seem limitless.
And yet, though Die Mannschaft seem comfortable favorites for next summer's European Championships – maybe even the 2014 World Cup, too -- their stylistic revolution is largely lacking in media love or fawning Twitter hashtags. Is it because, next to Spain and Holland, they still seem comparatively uncool? (Though don't deny swarthy Gerd Muller's 70s sex appeal.) Or is it that the world is merely waiting to see it result in a trophy, seemingly the last criterion in the debate between good to great? Whatever the oversight, their evolution from a squad of humorless automatons to vibrant expressionists has taken nearly a decade to bloom and is arguably the most exciting show in world soccer today.
Let's begin with the style. The first thing that leaps out when watching Germany is their speed. After several years of being seduced by Spain's mellifluous, patient, pass-heavy approach that fatigues opponents and lulls them into mistakes, the rate at which Ozil glides downfield is an epiphany. Where Andres Iniesta and Xavi Hernandez pressure and choke opponents, the Germans strike with dizzying, disorienting pace, a scorpion in a sport full of boa constrictors. Bastian Schweinsteiger, once an attacking fulcrum further downfield, is now a deep-lying general trusted with spraying passes and orchestrating movement. Mueller is the great x-factor, a two-footed, play-anywhere dynamo praised by everyone from Wayne Rooney to German captain Philipp Lahm (himself an intelligent, bombastic wing-back) for his versatility, pace, soccer instincts, and goalscoring nous.
Some of this dynamism traces back to Jurgen Klinsmann, who brought his SoCal-dwelling lateral thinking to the job in 2004. Klinsmann placed a premium on personalized fitness regimes and infusing speed of thought and motion to a team stuck in a rigid, slow-tempo style. In the years since, his former assistant, Joachim Low, has advanced this work since taking over in 2006 into its mesmerizing current form. Their formation has evolved over time, too, complementing their revamped style – a tectonic shift from a flat, boring 4-4-2 (soccer's age-old default) to a more modern 4-2-3-1 in which four defenders and two holding midfielders cover D, allowing three quick, gifted attacking midfielders to service and support a striker– but despite that many teams now favor this shape, the German riff on it is pure fun, elevated by the motion of its front four. The fluid interplay and off-the-ball runs of Ozil , Mueller, Podolski, and Klose – constantly swapping positions and attacking responsibilities almost telepathically -- cause nightmares for defenders drilled in the art of guarding pre-defined space as opposed to specific players.
But the innovation never stops: in a November 11 game against Ukraine, Low debuted a fresh look: a 3-4-2-1, popularized by SSC Napoli, in which two "wing-backs" are responsible for defense and attack in wide positions, either cycling back to aid three central defenders or bombing forward to support the main striker (something Philipp Lahm manages with aplomb). Oh, and they doubled-down on razzle-dazzle with Gotze and Ozil side-by-side. Suddenly, Low had another formation he could deploy whether chasing or controlling a game.
Their freedom and tempo derives from the abundance of youth in their team (average age of their 2010 World Cup squad: a spritely 25). Yet the man trusted with finishing his teammates' hard work up front is the elder statesman, Miroslav Klose, a 33-year-old bridge to the past who scores prolifically for club and country (8 in 13 for new club Lazio, and 63 in 113 for Die Mannschaft).
Such quirks aren't confined to age gaps, either: defensive midfielder Sami Khedira is German-born with a Tunisian father; Podolski and Piotr Trochowski were born in Poland and moved to Germany as infants; wiry winger Marko Marin is a Bosnian-Serb; defenders Dennis Aogo and Jerome Boateng are German-Nigerian and German-Ghanaian; Ozil's a third-generation Turkish-German, all of them bringing their own flourishes and diverse life experiences to a team schooled in playing aggressive, artful soccer from an early age. (Ozil even describes his qualities down ethnic lines: "My technique and feeling for the ball is the Turkish side to my game… The discipline, attitude and always-give-your-all is the German part.")
This mélange of Germanic power and multiethnic prowess derives from the soccer academy system, which was overhauled a decade ago to not just create finishing schools for talented teens, but as a means of integrating foreign styles and attitudes into German culture. In 2010, a survey estimated that roughly 80 nationalities or ethnic groups were represented throughout the German youth soccer system. It wasn't always this harmonious, but the drafting of revised immigration laws in 2000 signaled a cultural shift that spread to soccer once foreign flair began to flood the academies.
None of these reforms could have happened without a wake-up call, though, and the roots of the German rebirth are familiar to many of the best sports reinventions: utter humiliation. Coach Erich Ribbeck took a squad in decline (average age: 30 years old) to the 2000 European Championships and got embarrassed in the opening round, finishing dead last in their group. Instead of flagellating themselves and pointing fingers, the Deutscher Fussball-Bund (German soccer's ruling body) found that the players weren't the problem so much as the developmental system that birthed them.
The 2000 team wasn't a side rich with verve and silky skill, but a rigid collective dominated by paint-by-numbers functionality and rendered utterly bamboozled by the deft skill and trickery of Portugal's Rui Costa, Joao Pinto, and the divine on-the-ball wizardry of Luis Figo. Even the stodgy English had enough youth and trickery in David Beckham, Michael Owen, and Paul Scholes to glide past their storied rivals, whose ineffectual play had a simple cause: there were few good players ready to take over the national team.
The country internal structure helps explain. In the 1990s, German club teams were flush with money but blew it all on the ultimate unsustainable resource: flown-in, here-for-the-trophies-and-big-paydays foreign talent. With funding for specialized sports schools declining after 1990's World Cup win–Teutonic hubris, post-reunification–fewer German players were able to turn pro, their paths blocked by brand-name imports. From 1992 to 1997, the number of foreign players in the German domestic leagues (Bundesliga I. and II.) leapt from 17 percent to 34 percent, reaching a peak of 60 percent in 2002-03. (By comparison, the English Premier League, long regarded as the world's best, still boasted 62-percent overseas players as of last weekend.)
With so much money being wasted on transfer fees, the DFB concluded that future generations were being squeezed out. Inspired by the French academy at Clairefontaine that led to Les Bleus winning the 1998 World Cup and 2000 Euros, the DFB drew up plans for 121 national talent centers across Germany–sizable investments at $15.6 million to build and run over five years–and required all 36 Bundesliga clubs to build their own grassroots youth academies, each mandated to follow strict guidelines (including squad size, number of fully-licensed coaches, and even the number of dedicated fields for academy use) to ensure structure, continuity, and success.
Though the academy system is nothing new–feeder clubs like Ajax's "De Toekomst" ("The Future") and Barcelona's La Masia have been in existence for decades, birthing steady streams of Messis, Xavis, Cruyffs, Bergkamps, and Sneijders–the scale of the DFB's project means that many modern-day Bundesliga academies are now better-run and better-funded than most Major League Baseball farm systems. Stuttgart's head of youth development oversees an annual budget of $5 million. Eintracht Frankfurt's academy facility stretches over four square miles, including an apartment complex for talented, non-local players. Bayer Leverkusen's "Elite School of Sport" accommodates 160 boys (with a support staff of 80) from 8 to 19 years old, replete with weight-lifting rooms, round-the-clock physiotherapy facilities, and a fleet of buses takes the various youth teams across more than 600,000 miles per year to compete. Extrapolate that commitment across every pro team, and Germany has created mini-empires devoted to training up and honing impressionable youth into free-wheeling soccer excellence. In 2009-10 alone, the 36 pro clubs spent a combined $100m on youth development, "a higher proportion of income than any other league," which serves as an obvious, and justified, point of DFB pride.
All teams are cyclical in nature, but national squads differ from domestic clubs in that they can't simply buy talent and slot it in. As such, international soccer feels the generation gap more intensely. But the German plan is specifically designed to counter the natural ebb and flow between eras by acting as a machine that doesn't produce just one bankable David Beckham, but entire squads. The blossoming of New Germany couldn't be better timed, either, with their biggest European rivals struggling in different ways. England squandered their "Golden Generation" and has just Jack Wilshere to look forward to in the next decade. Spain's dazzling midfield suffers a dearth of strikers after their number one, the elusive David Villa, suffered a broken leg in the Club World Cup, easily the world's most extraneous tournament. France is still a disjointed, dysfunctional mess in the wake of their 2010 World Cup mutiny, the Dutch aren't fully-formed, and Portugal is too reliant on Cristiano Ronaldo to build a defense.
Though early headlines about Euro 2012 have fixated on the negative–fears about travel infrastructure, the widespread culling of stray dogs to clean up Ukrainian streets, or FEMEN protests regarding reports that sex tourism and prostitution will be tacitly accepted when soccer fans descend on Kiev–Germany's evolution serves as a rapturous, feel-good counterpoint, filled with the kind of artistry that will have commentators exhausting their platitudes in tribute all summer long.

Associate Story: Tyler McCusker
Tyler McCusker has been given professional purpose through his position at Pinnacle Transplant Technologies. Currently, Tyler works in the shipping and receiving department where he thrives with his many responsibilities, and he has even taken on more of a lead role in the warehouse as a result of his excellent demeanor and work ethic. However, it has not always been that easy for him.
"Before Pinnacle I worked for a couple months at a restaurant and quickly found that was not for me," he said. "After that, I managed to get a job at a major retailer for two years, but ultimately I was so young and inexperienced."
But everything changed when his brother let him know about an open position in receiving at PTT, one of the nation's leading tissue banks. Now, he calls it the "greatest opportunity" he has had thus far in his professional career. He especially takes tremendous pride in knowing the value that the company's products have on people across the world.
"The most satisfying part of my job is knowing that everything we do as a company is geared towards helping someone in great need. It has always been a dream of mine to help people that are in pain or discomfort in any way I can."
"Working for Pinnacle has been an honor and a privilege, I love everything I do here and what we stand for," he added.
Tyler also expresses his profound respect for the culture that Pinnacle has developed for its associates. He cites the willingness of his colleagues at all levels—including company leadership—to pitch in and recognizes that it is truly like a "big family" for everybody. This has further inspired him in his role to encourage his co-workers and help them with the daily challenges they face. It is this amazing environment that has allowed him to flourish as a young professional.
"I've learned many lessons that have made me a better person and employee. Since I have started working here I have noticed nothing but a substantial improvement in my critical thinking, my ability to manage stress, and my prioritization skills," he said.
And he hopes he gets to experience the wonder of Pinnacle for years to come.
