"Old Labour" has had a rather poor press recently. Anyone curious to know more about so apparently discredited a phenomenon would do well to consult the three books under review: David Reisman's learned two-volume study of Tony Crosland and Noel Thompson's illuminating survey of the economic ideas of the Labour party.
Socialism, Crosland declared, was not about transforming the property system, nor about the extension of public ownership and state planning: it was about alleviating social want and securing equality. The "fundamental divide between left and right, socialists and non-socialists," he claimed, "has always been about the redistribution of wealth, power and class status." (Crosland's Future) Socialism was a set of ethical precepts of which two were paramount (as he wrote in his major work, The Future of Socialism), "first to relieve misery wherever it exists ... secondly, to promote a greater social and economic equality for the mass of the people". These precepts were to govern Crosland's career as politician, theorist and government minister. Socialism, he insisted, entailed a willingness to give an exceptional priority in the disbursement of resources to the needs of "the poor, the deprived and generally the under-dog" (Crosland's Future). Throughout his life he never - unlike some fellow Gaitskellites - abandoned the conviction that equality must remain the central tenet of the party's creed, its advancement a prime task of any Labour cabinet.
What did he mean by equality? Recently, Gordon Brown has posed the choice as between equality of outcome and equality of opportunity. There is no reason why this should be so and neither choice represented Crosland's position. Complete equality was not possible, he argued, since an adequate flow of profits for investment and the need to reward expertise, effort and skill required disparities in the income structure. Nor was he attracted by equality of opportunity. Not only did it serve to legitimate a hierarchical order of society difficult to reconcile with equal respect, but an equal start in the race of life was impossible in a highly uneven society. Inevitably, he wrote, the most handsome rewards would be lavished upon those fortunate to be borne into privileged circumstances. He favoured "democratic equality", that is a presumption in favour of equality "with inequalities being justified if, and only if, differential rewards work to the benefit of the community as a whole and we can assume that access to jobs which command differential rewards would be on the basis of genuine equality of opportunity", in the words of Raymond Plant. Equality so defined not only involved challenging entrenched privileges but attaining a more equal distribution of wealth, income, power and status.
The old politics of "tax and spend" is nowadays often disparaged but, as Reisman shows in considerable detail, Crosland's thinking was of a subtlety, balance and complexity that defies the simplicity of the soundbite. His quest for the middle ground sometimes bred a certain ambiguity and his conviction that the public school system lay at the root of a steep social hierarchy was not matched by any scheme to transform it. But upon one point he displayed both unwavering consistency and passionate commitment. "Equality and higher public expenditure," Crosland avowed, "is what divides us from the Tories." In one of his last speeches, he declared himself an "unrepentant believer in higher and growing level of public expenditure" to be financed by high progressive taxation. (Crosland's Future) He was unimpressed by the proposition that the lower the taxation, the greater the ability of taxpayers to dispose of their income as they pleased - then the greater their freedom. He did not agree that market-determined income patterns were a true measure of desert: the better-off enjoyed sufficient advantage arising from social background, education and inherited wealth to procure for themselves the most handsomely remunerated, prestigious and powerful positions in society. Public spending, whether through the provision of services free at the point of delivery and allocated according to need or through cash transfers, were (along with the redistribution of property via fiscal means such as wealth and gift taxes) the most effective means of spreading the cost of social risk and eradicating unjustified inequalities. Social benefits helped equalise life chances for those who through poverty, illness or age could not secure full remuneration through work; and the type of services that public spending made available - schools, hospitals, pensions and housing - were those that defined a civilised society.
Crosland's great work, The Future of Socialism, was confident and sanguine in tone. The aggressive and ruthless pursuit of profit had been replaced by a sense of social responsibility. The "veneration of individualism and competition ... the insistence on the absolute and unconditional rights of private property"; the belief that "the unfettered exercise of private rights must, by 'the invisible hand' of economic competition, maximise the welfare of the community" - all these features of capitalism could now be consigned to history. The Labour left, he felt, had exaggerated the power which control over capital placed into the hands of the property-holding class and underrated the power of the democratic state. "Whatever the modes of economic production, economic power will, in fact, belong to the owners of political power."
Crosland, however, concentrated almost exclusively on the power of British industrial firms, ignoring the City and international financial flows. This was odd since both the British Labour government and the French Popular Front governments in the 1930s had been laid low not by industrial corporations but by the foreign exchange markets and the central banks. His fellow, but less well-known thinker John Strachey, (formerly a Marxist but by the 1950s broadly a Keynesian social democrat), displayed a sharper sense of the realities of power. "Economic power," he contended, "threatens to submerge political power unless political power can at the critical moment obtain control of economic power." In an unpublished note (cited in Michael Newman John Strachey), he warned of "a sort of 'social ejection mechanism' which, unless its operation is foreseen and neutralised, will ruin governments of the left." Unless a Labour government imposed firm controls over capital movements it would be "quickly bankrupted by the efflux of liquid capital seeking what it considers the most attractive conditions."
Events in the 1970s proved the superior prescience of Strachey's analysis. By 1976, recently appointed as foreign secretary, Crosland stood at the apex of his political career. But the words that he confided to his notebook were anything but hopeful. In stark contrast to the serene optimism of his major work, he gloomily reflected upon a world in thrall to the ideas of the right: "monetarism, anti-egalitarianism, free market economy". (The Mixed Economy) A wave of speculation against the pound, a collapse of confidence in the bond markets stoked by apparently massive budgetary and balance of payments deficits persuaded Jim Callaghan, the prime minister, and his chancellor, Denis Healey, that they had to seek an IMF loan, under harsh terms that included deep and painful cuts in public spending. In neither of his two studies does Reisman give so seminal an episode due attention. The prime minister and his chancellor induced a doubtful cabinet to swallow the IMF's medicine, signalling the effective abandonment of the Keynesian approach. Crosland was eventually brought on board, though only because politically he felt he had no choice. He continued passionately to believe that the IMF's prescription (as recorded by Tony Benn in his diary at the time) "was wrong economically and socially, destructive of what he had believed in all his life". As it happened, he only had a few more months to live.
Healey later acknowledged that much of Crosland's case was correct but added that the government had no option but to toe the IMF's line if it was to regain credibility in the financial markets. In 1956 Crosland had proclaimed that "political authority has emerged as the final arbiter of economic life: the brief, and historically exceptional, era of unfettered market relations is over." (The Future of Socialism) The IMF episode demonstrated in the starkest of ways the extent to which he had underrated the power of capital. He had been right to argue that the cornerstone of the postwar settlement was a redistribution of power in favour of Labour and the democratic state, but wrong to assume it would be permanent. Indeed in his last years the bright hopefulness of his earlier work evaporated as he felt mounting dismay at the revival of right-wing ideas and "the breeding of an illiterate and reactionary attitude to public expenditure". (The Mixed Economy)
Few who have doubts about the relevance of studying Crosland would retain them after reading Reisman's detailed and insightful analysis. Whether two volumes are required is not so clear. There are strange omissions: Reisman appears not to have conducted any interviews nor made use of diaries (Crossman, Benn and Castle) and private papers. The discipline of compressing all into a single volume would have given the style an incisiveness in presentation and judgement it sometimes lacks. And it is odd that in so extensive a study that there is no systematic analysis of Crosland's influence on the Labour party. Notwithstanding, given their breadth of coverage and sureness of understanding, both books are of considerable value to the students of both the Labour party and political ideas.
Crosland inevitably also figures in Political Economy and the Labour Party which, though brought up to 1995, is primarily a study of "Old Labour". In fact it demonstrates that this concept, while useful for public relations purposes is empirically and heuristically without value. The study charts in a thoughtful, perceptive and dispassionate manner the main currents of economic thought within the Labour party since its inception. But if "Old Labour" is a figment of the spin doctor's skill, the same is not true of "New Labour". Thompson rightly refers to the "magnitude of the shift in policy emphasis that has occurred in recent years". The change is not incremental, for a "new economic discourse dominates ... the language of competition, efficiency, productivity, economic dynamism and, above all, that of individual choice and self-fulfilment in the context of the market economy." The various elements themselves, he shows, all appeared previously in various guises but the extent to which the new discourse pervades all thinking about economic questions is new.
Thompson is too good a scholar with too solid a grasp on his material to slip in the error of a simple new/old Labour dichotomy. There are indeed continuities, for example the respect which successive Labour chancellors (perhaps with exceptions for the postwar government) displayed for the Treasury and economic orthodoxy and the preferment they generally gave to the priorities of the City (the maintenance of sterling as an international currency in the 1960s, for example). Yet reading these three volumes, one senses that, beyond all the distinctions in policy, priorities and objectives there is another, less tangible element that distinguishes new from old. This can be summed up in a rare passage cited in The Mixed Economy, where Crosland describes why he became a socialist: "I came to hate and loathe social injustice, because I disliked the class structure of our society, because I could not tolerate the indefensible differences of status and income that disfigure our society." Do the same sentiments animate New Labour - or has it adopted a new morality?

As a social media consultant that works with a lot of direct selling companies, advising them on strategy and tools, I also get approached by a lot of software vendors who want me to recommend their products to my clients. And to be honest, I've been pretty impressed with the quality level of what I've seen. There are mobile apps that allow you to place orders and track your downline right from your mobile device. There are apps that allow your company to provide you with content that you can use in your Facebook profile with just one click. Lots of very cool stuff.
But there is a common denominator with many of these tools, and to be honest, it's something that worries me. Some vendors have shown me tools that push content into Facebook, and the demo content is CHOCK FULL of spammy, advertising stuff. We all know that a content marketing strategy is what works in social media. We don't want to be hurling spam at our friends…after all, our social networks are not an opt-in list. If these application vendors are counting on companies knowing how to do this right, right out of the gate, I think we're going to have another problem on our hands. Because if a direct sales company provides all its distributors with a tool that knowingly pushes business messages out through profiles, every single person who uses that tool could be shut down. After all, it's against Facebook Terms of Service to post direct business messages through a profile.
The problem these tools is supposed to be solving is to provide appropriate status updates to distributors who may not know how to do that themselves. But if these messages are overtly business-y, these tools cause more problems than they cure.
For all companies that are considering such tools, make sure that the developer of the application has gotten approval from Facebook, that it can be used to push messages to the profile. Facebook MUST be on board, to avoid problems down the line. And for distributors/consultants, make sure that the messages you're being provided, should your company choose to use such tools, are content-driven, and not sales/recruiting-driven. There is a difference, and the profile is all about providing value, not driving a sale or recruiting directly. That comes later. If you feel the messages are too sales-y, tell your company. The last thing we want to see is every consultant in the company losing their Facebook account due to violations of the Facebook Terms of Service.
In theory, I really like the idea of the company being able to provide content that distributors can pass along to their social networks. However these messages MUST be crafted by people skilled in social media marketing, who understand the difference between advertising and social networking. And application vendors have to be on the front lines here, providing appropriate demo content that illustrates how to populate these tools well. And that means the vendor must understand our business model, or bring on someone who does. Every step of the process, from vendor to company to consultant, must understand what is appropriate and what is not. Only then will these tools provide value, and benefit the industry as a whole.
Would love to know what you think about all this. Is your company using tools like this (they're pretty new, and don't have a lot of market adoption yet)? Would you use it if your company provided it? Looking forward to reading your comments below.

Are democratic governments more efficient?
Adam, A, Delis, MD and Kammas, P (2011) Are democratic governments more efficient? European Journal of Political Economy, 27 (1). pp. 75-86.Full text not available from this repository.
This paper explores the relationship between public sector efficiency (PSE) and the level of democracy, both theoretically and empirically. At the theoretical level a simple model of elections with two time periods is presented, which takes into account whether the political regime is democratic or not. Specifically, we assume that elected officials in democracies are "more" accountable to voters than the respective ones in autocracies. This mechanism induces the democratic politicians to produce the public good in a more efficient way, in order to remain in power. In the empirical section we examine the effect of democracy on PSE for a panel dataset of 50 developing and developed countries over the period 1980-2000. Our results suggest that the relationship between PSE and democracy is positive and statistically significant, thus confirming our theoretical priors.

Photos: 8084+ (variation allowed for the time it took me to write this)
Records: 11108+ (the number keeps changing each time I check it)
Photos awaiting transcription: 500–600 (this number also keeps changing)
There are more records than photos because a record refers to one individual's information. So a couple that is buried under the same monument produces two records, one for each individual. Some of these individuals, like Carl J. Anderson (Provo City Cemetery, Utah, U.S.A.), I wasn't able to find on the major grave registration sites. Now they're available for current and future descendants. While these numbers are still relatively small, they represent a strong 12-days introduction.
We're not sure how many cemeteries have been added to the database since the launch because once we approve an added cemetery, it becomes identical to the cemeteries we originally had on file. I can, however, tell you about the cemeteries we have in the queue for approval. There are currently 16 of them.
- 13 are in the United States, and they come from 8 different states.
- 1 is in Ontario, Canada.
- 1 is in United Kingdom, England specifically.
- 1 is in Croatia.
(Side note: The approval process goes much faster if cemeteries are added with phones that are currently in the cemetery.)
Together, everyone using BillionGraves has, on average, made the headstones of 925 individuals available to descendants worldwide each day the site has been up and running. I wish I could thank you all individually for the contributions you've already made, both in photos and in transcriptions, but for now a sweeping "Thank you all" will have to do. We're hopeful that more and more people will find and contribute to BillionGraves, and the numbers can only go up.

I'm always looking for "the" book that will sweep me off my feet and this takes much more than the typical romance. A good adventure book though is close enough to do the trick.
Ladeeda. This is a collective book haul.
Today (May 29), I just ordered "City of Heavenly Fire" by Cassandra Clare and "Fangirl" by Rainbow Rowell that won't come in until June 2. I initially wanted to wait for my local library to read the book, but I would have been 17th in the holding period. I didn't want to wait that long. So I shan't. I could have bought it from my local bookstore, but living on a budget makes me like finding deals.
The top row consists of books that I purchased online from Better World Books. I've got to say that some of the books are in the condition that they are said to be in. Although there are times that I question the condition of some of the books. Oh well, I enjoyed receiving them either way. Come on, $3.98 per book regardless of whether the format is paperback, hardcover, or e-book! Also, free shipping! Huzzah! I'm using this site to slowly buy back the first half of the Harry Potter series in hardback.
The bottom row of this haul I got from my local library book sale. Five books, four hardcovers (Doctrine of Labyrinths series) and one paperback (Revelations by Carol Berg), for $2.25. Amazing. The only thing that's a downer is that the one paperback that I picked up is the second book in a series. Argh. Why?! I think I'll go back after work to try and find the other books. *fingers cross* I hope they're still there...or being sold.

Last December, the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, filed a petition for having its case opposing DOT's rule regarding ELD Mandate reheard. The association asked the 7th Circuit to analyze their reasons, with the objective of having a new decision from the judges.
In 2016, OOIDA presented a lawsuit against the use of electronic logging devices, but the judges rejected their arguments and decided to uphold the mandate.
In the rehearing motion, OOIDA kept their original arguments based on the fact that the rule could invade the privacy of the drivers, because those devices can track the location of truckers, during work or even on their breaks/off-duty time.
OOIDA considers that having access to personal and confidential information violates drivers' Fourth Amendment right to protection and privacy, something impossible to justify. The association also pleads that the DOT's rule does not assure that the data from each truckers' ELD will be kept as confidential.
On the other side, last August, FMSCA stated that the ELD rule matches perfectly with a highly regulated industry such transportation, and will get greater support to hours of service rules and reduce the number of crashes involving trucks.
Todd Spencer, Executive VP of OOIDA, said if the rehearing is rejected, the group will probably appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

A smart, eco-friendly movement is currently underway in North Carolina, aiming to convince school boards across the state to switch to 100% renewable energy in order to free up financial resources for other necessary expenses, like teacher salaries. It's no surprise to find out that, like much of the rest of the country, school district budgets are tight, making it difficult (if not impossible) to hire enough teachers or supply kids with the resources they need for optimal learning. The movement to introduce renewable energy as a money saver is called Repower Our Schools.

Advocates for renewable energy in North Carolina are pointing to successful examples elsewhere in the country, like in the Chico Unified School District where a partnership with Solar City brought in 6,600 solar panels at four schools and the district office. That project is expected to offset 85% of the sites' total energy use and could save the district $3 million in energy costs over the next 20 years. Since renewable energy sources are more cost-effective over the long term, infrastructure such as schools and administration offices are prime candidates for the switch.
RELATED | James Cameron Gifts His Wife Five Giant Solar Sun Flowers to Power Her Sustainable School
Repower Our Schools, which is backed by Greenpeace, argues that using what little funds are earmarked for modernization on renewable energy projects in North Carolina can help school districts make smarter decisions about long-term budget strategies. By investing in eco-friendly technologies, mostly in the realm of solar power, schools can not only realize a significant cost savings over the years, but also greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, since renewable energy schools would reduce coal-fired power.
School districts often respond positively to pressure from parents, especially with a little media attention on board. That's why Repower Our Schools is reaching out beyond North Carolina's borders for attention, in hopes of creating a more powerful movement for awareness of the benefits of renewable energy for our children's future.

One of the questions we're asked quite often of people buying a Vero Beach home is, "How much salary do I need to make in order to qualify for a mortgage?"
On a national scale, a buyer who puts 20 percent down would need to earn a salary of $48,604 to afford the median-priced home in America. But that total varies a lot from city to city, and that holds true for anyone buying a Vero Beach home.
HSH.com estimates that you can buy the median home while making less in some areas than others, but some salaries require nearly $90,000 or more. But the most expensive city by far is San Francisco, where the site estimates you would need to make $142,448 to buy the median home in the area.
Qualifying Guidelines When Buying a Vero Beach Home
The site's calculations assume that a buyer spends 28 percent of gross monthly income on housing, including principal, interest, taxes and insurance, (in line with industry guidelines for standard "front-end" debt ratios) and makes a 20 percent down payment on a house.
To calculate the cost of buying the median-priced Vero Beach home, HSH.com combines its own average interest rate for 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages in the fourth quarter; the National Association of Realtors' data on median-home prices in the fourth quarter; average metropolitan property tax data from the Tax Foundation, a Washington-based think tank; and statewide average homeowner insurance premium costs from the Insurance Information Institute, an industry organization.
The data is, of course, an estimate — for one, property taxes and insurance costs will vary depending on the property — but it gives you a good idea of how housing costs varied around the country in the fourth quarter.
Another varying factor based on buying a Vero Beach home is the lower mortgage rates today compared to when rates climb higher. As interest rates rise, so must the salary of the average buyer of a Vero Beach home.

Yesterday my first born flew from the nest, I finally felt like a 'real mum' and I found myself asking some questions.
Is this the beginning of the end (of his baby years at home/full time mothering)?
Will he be ok?
Will he manage all of the hurdles that get thrown his way?
Will be be a good man?
Will he be kind?
Will he love?
Will he respect?
I felt relatively okay after the morning pre school drop off. The classic time where many parents fall apart, when they return to an empty home, calm and quiet all around. This will often set off the tears. Not for me. I was a-okay! Keith was a little bit misty eyed, and a little quiet. I, on the other hand, was full of beans. In fact I was kind of cursing the time that he would finish and calm would turn back into chaos.
Our friend dropped in and we all headed out for a coffee before we would pick up time. ahhhhhhh bliss. As we got up from the table to make our journey over the road to the school, I had a sudden wave of uneasiness. I hope he is ok, I hope he didn't freak out when he realised we had snuck out the gate and left him.
We arrived at the front gate, all was quiet. I could not see a single little person anywhere. I stepped through the little door into the classroom, where everything was in miniature form, I could see all of these beautiful little heads sitting on the floor. As the teacher told them all about how everyone all over the world was the same, I searched for his beautiful little swirl in his golden hair. As I searched, I thought to myself how happy I was that we had chosen this school for Will. In a flash, the office door opened and out came my beautiful little boy. His smile so big it melted my heart. As he whizzed past us, I wondered why he was in the office. I wondered how he went, was he ok, did they cope with having a very enthusiastic nearly four year old who does not talk. Did he even realise that we had left.
The teacher spoke to us briefly about Will's progress, she seemed quite happy with how he went that morning. She asked a few questions and then we were on our way.
The uneasiness only increased as we got home. The only way to cure this uneasiness was to do one thing. SMOTHER HIM IN LOVE. We pilled all of the cushions and blankets on to the lounge room floor, put a Play School dvd on and simply inhaled all of that deliciousness. I looked at his beautiful face, his warm sticky hands pressed up against my cheeks, his lip smacking kisses graced my face, and I immediately started to feel at ease. My baby was home.
So I wanted to know, how did you go on the first day of preschool?

Slightly underwhelmed.
It picked up a little bit
but overall disapointing.
"Did you kill lots of black babies?"
"In the Falklands?"
Great second half.
"You're my mummy now."
it's still better than 95% of the other comedies about
but it's not as good as previous series'. the second half was pretty good!
its so much darker now i think
my favourite part was superhans talking about the people trying to cure cancer
"they should pull their finger out"
Oh yeah, definitely
That whole scene was brilliant.
The cancer line was the highlight for me
downhill from there, you have to remember though that Peep Show has a very high standard of finale. I have every faith this is a lull.
He couldn't even think of Romeo!
Romeo's EASY!
Thought it was very good
Some great lines this week. People on here are getting a bit cynical and jaded I think.
I agree
People are annoying me.
I must admit peep show has never floated my boat very much
but I keep going back to give it another go. I have enjoyed older episodes from ages back but not for a long time now. and I really want to like it, I'm a fan of all srts of comedy and should like it... but still :(
The dad and daughter
were really similar to the dad and daughter from the housboating thing last series. And the whole situation was pretty similar too- mark has to woo daughter in order to impress the dad.
Apart from that it was quite funny
I enjoyed it this week, made up for the crap episode last week!
no real lols. The characters seem to be exaggerated versions of themselves now, which takes away from the comedy.
i actually think
that's been done quite well, the way they're both becoming more neurotic as they get older. jez is becoming increasingly pathetic in his clinging onto his student lifestyle, and mark is obsessing over a new wife, and there being real spite in the way they drag eachother down. i think they're both a bit less likeable this season, maybe that's what's doing it.
Everyone who disagrees is clinging on to some Peep Show golden age which never existed in the first place. It's all been great, it still is now.
Best part of this episode: "I would literally stab a baby to do it."
That was the best line!
"Don't piss on my strawberries" was classic Superhans
peep show is still awesome
people that say no are like dad-rock fans, giving it all the "music ain't what it used to be".
"why doesn't jeremy want you to be his dad, i want you to be my dad, i want to sit on your knee right now"
Best of the series so far.
though it still wasn't brilliant
I can't help thinking people would enjoy it more...
... if they just watched it, rather than half watching/half complaining about it online.
Give it your full attention, you can't possibly see/hear everything if you're criticising it online whilst it's playing. Fair enough, if you do watch it properly and still don't like it, come online and complain afterwards.
Also, "I would literally stab a baby to do it" is the best line of all 5 series'.
It's not kissing and fumbling anymore, a lesbian rapes you while you dream about your mother.
exactly right,
I wish people would just relax a little. Yeah, it may not be quite up to series 1 standard. Hey, it's more entertaining than most shite the TV serves up. Hold back from analysing everything so much.
anyone a little uncomfortable about the rape scene?
It was pretty good.
The writing was very tight and the plot moved along nicely. Some nice Super Hans lines in there.
I definitely think Peep Show has generally changed for the worse since it got cancelled though. They rely too much on "cringe comedy" for most of the laughs. And Mark and Jez are both getting less and less sympathetic treatment, which makes the show much harder to identify with. Would the old Peep Show have had a "rape" scene?
I thought there was some great lines, I wish they'd stop having an ULTIMATECRINGEMOMENT at the end of every episode though, it's a bit predictable. Superhans is amazing.
the fact that
less than 24 hours later it's on youtube probably says something too.
that people upload popular TV shows onto YouTube quickly? What's the world coming to, eh?
my mate was saying
you don't need a cd player to listen to music anymore. he said there's this thing lets you play it right out of your computer.

I'm just sitting here in my room at 1:31 a.m. in semi-darkness listening to the haunting voice of my Angel Love, Aaliyah and I'm just thinking.
Once again, after all that's been going on with me (I've been SO busy brainstorming, building, moving, growing, living, twirling, creating, and just simply BEING) I've decided to take a new direction with my online presence. In order to keep my websites/profiles better organized and for me to feel less scattered, spread too thin or too far like I'm trying to do TOO MUCH, I'm going to assign specific areas of my artistic endeavors (ALL still for SOUL Meets BODY™ of course!) to each website. That means there's going to be quite a bit of reconstructing–whew!
Starting here and now, keeping it short, sweet and to the point, this is what it's go:
My "FANTASTIC FOUR!" 😀
- WordPress – All of my creative writings (poetry, short stories, random tidbits and some journal-like entries) ❤
- Tumblr – Here will be my new-but-old-but-still-new pursuit of PHOTOGRAPHY! Mainly visual; mostly reblogs of things I like; a sometime-extension of my Instagram posts
- Facebook – The same going-ons of me and SOUL Meets BODY™, including new art plus some W.I.P. shots, interesting articles from other sources I may share from time to time and staying connected with everyone on the "business" side of things. 😉
- Instagram – Just me being me on a day-to-day basis (pictures, videos, random tidbits, etc). focusing mostly on ALL the forms of art in my life. 🙂
That's that.
And so it begins.
Again. 😛

Posts Tagged 'Alcohol Rehab'
Alcohol and depression
Alcohol is a depressant
It is a drug, and it causes impaired behavior, judgment, coordination, and slurred speech. Alcohol is ingested through drink and many people become addicted to alcohol very easily. Alcohol is generally socially acceptable, and the alcoholic sometimes cannot be easily spotted. Because of the widespread usage and social acceptance of alcohol it has become a major concern and cause of alcohol related deaths in motor vehicles, criminal charges, fines, and loss of lives are the outcome.
Alcoholism is very scary, you see with other drugs such as crack and heroin they take their toll on the individual very quickly in terms of physical condition, appearance, financial situation, and general responsibility level.With alcohol, and in part because of its social acceptance, it takes longer for the person's condition to come down to a point where he or she realizes they need help or other around them realize help is needed and at that point the person's body can be is such rough shape irreversible damage can be done.
Alcohol creates a physical dependency and with some cases a medical detox procedure is needed to safely help the addicted person withdraw from the drug, most Rehab Centers will have resources to accommodate this procedure.
We have many Rehab Centers in our own directory that deal with alcohol withdrawal and treatment, if you need to locate a Detox and/or Rehab Center, call one of our counselor today. 1 888-488-8434
What is a Rehab ?
Alcohol Rehab, Drug Rehab, Addiction Rehab
We have all heard the word rehab over time in various circumstances. Either a friend was telling a story of someone he or she knew who had a drug problem or you heard it on the news of some well known actor or signer being associated with rehab due to substance abuse. The fact is, rehab is short of rehabilitation, now you may say at this point, "I knew that" and you're probably right but most people have no clue what this word actually means. Time and time again it is discovered that general public and professionals alike do not know what this word means.
In the Collins dictionary rehabilitation is defined as: Noun; "the act or process of rehabilitating" and rehabilitate the verb; is defined from Merriam-Webster dictionary; "to restore or bring to a condition of health or useful and constructive activity". Now this is very interesting because in essence when some is asked or ordered or volunteers to go to "rehab" he or she is being asked to become that person before using drug or alcohol and to be healthy again and can contribute to social and family activities. So what happened to this word over time?
The history of drug or alcohol addiction is a long and complex story. But broken down to the essentials one can see that some treatment programs have lost their way and this is not fair to the addict. If you, or someone you know and want to do something about their drug problem or alcohol abuse problem. Our advice is look for the program that fits the definition above, this is a good starting point.
Five Qualities of a Drug Rehab Expert
There are certain qualities that should be possessed by a drug rehab expert to be sure that quality treatment is being given. While there may be different criteria for what constitutes being an expert, the following five qualities are extremely important.
- Knowledge: The word "expert", by definition is someone who is very knowledgeable about a particular topic. Anyone claiming to be a drug rehab expert will be extremely knowledgeable not only about treating drug addiction, but about drugs in general. Drugs cause many different physical and mental reactions in people. An expert would have information on the various types of addictive drugs and how they are best treated.
- Compassion: Having an understanding of what a drug addict is going through helps workers to communicate and sympathize with what the addict is experiencing. Compassion should not be confused with having pity on, or giving into a drug addict's behavior.
- Individualized attention: Any expert knows that not all people are the same. Different people need and deserve someone who will listen to and take stock of the views of the customer. In the case of drug rehabilitation, that would be the addict. A rehab expert would realize that there is a possibility to learn from every individual, including a drug addict. Treatment should be partially based on each individual.
- Experience: Generally speaking, anyone boasting the title of expert has approximately 10 years experience. However, since it is not a requirement set in stone, there are many experts with less experience. There is no set rule for the number of years that constitutes being an expert. In drug rehabilitation, an acceptable amount of experience would be having dealt with a wide variety of drug addiction scenarios and patients. An added bonus would be having been an addict personally, but, of course, that is also not a requirement. In the field of drug rehabilitation, a satisfactory experience background may differ from client to client.
- High standards: Whether it is in the drug rehab field, or any other, an expert will set high goals and standards for themselves and their clients. A rehabilitation expert will try to expand their knowledge and hone their viewpoints on the best course of treatment for addictions. Their high standards for their clients will be in the form of objective, individual assessment of each client's situation, personality and mentality.
Drug Rehab placement specialists not only involves knowing about drugs and how they affect people, but also dealing with people on a one-to-one basis. An expert will be able to do this to better understand their client in their scope of caring for them.
Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers in Alberta
Rehab Centers in Alberta
If you are searching for information about alcohol and drug rehab centres in Alberta, Canada, this article can help you. This western province does not have as many centres as Ontario, for example, but there are still many options if you need detoxification and/or rehabilitation from a chemical addiction.
Peacehealth.org reports that between the United States and Canada, there are around 100,000 deaths every year as a result of alcohol abuse. They also report that children between the ages of 12 and 17 are the ones who most commonly abuse alcohol. Some alcohol and drug rehab centers in Alberta focus solely on helping children with their addiction problems. If you are looking for an alcohol and drug rehab centre for a child, it is important to find a program that works for them.
The same website also says that in the United States and Canada, around 40 percent of all adults will try an illegal drug at some point in their lives. By trying these substances, people put themselves at risk for developing problems with addiction.
Trying to find alcohol and drug rehabilitation centres in Alberta that support natural methods can be a difficult process, because some centres actively promote the use of medication or drug substitutes like methadone. However, many people believe that using other drugs to combat an illegal drug addiction is not beneficial in the long run. Some of the drugs, like methadone, can carry risks of their own.
Alcohol and drug addiction is not a disease
Addicts are not "sick." Anyone who suffers from chemical addiction can improve his or her situation by attending a good drug rehabilitation program. If you are looking for an alcohol and drug rehab centre in Alberta, consider finding one that does not treat a "disease" but that focuses on the person who needs help instead.
The area does offer a number of residential (or inpatient) programs where the participants live at the center while going through the rehabilitation process. Alberta also has some outpatient programs for those who need rehabilitation but cannot drop all of their responsibilities to go live at the center.
If you need or want more information about local alcohol and drug rehab centres in Alberta, please call the number on this site and talk to one of our experts. He or she can help you find a centre that will be the most beneficial for you or for your loved one. You can also fill out the information form and get information in that way.
Drug Rehabs and Oil Industry workforce
Drug Rehab Options for Oil Industry Workers
The oil industry is big business. Millions of dollars are on the line when dealing with oil companies and their ways of conducting business in each aspect of the job. Like any business, accidents and injury can mean huge losses to the company. Insurance rates go up, the company can lose employees and even be subject to lawsuits when drug or alcohol addiction is present in the work-place. Since addiction is so prevalent, it is certain there are going to be a percentage of workers who are affected by drug and/or alcohol addiction. In Canada, at the moment, the Oil Industry is prevalent in Alberta but developing in other provinces and why not it does produce an economic boom! But unfortunately this also attracts drug traffickers, they see a potential for business with money available in abundance and people needing to relax after a long stretch of shift, or celebrating their new found fortune.
Addiction problems in the workforce
A drug addict poses a threat not only to themselves, but to the company as well. However, drug addicts may otherwise be exemplary employees. Drug addiction changes a person physically, mentally and spiritually, so they must be treated on all of those fronts in order to be successful in living a drug-free life. A wonderful employee can become a hazard to all when he or she becomes a drug addict. Firing a great employee because of drug addiction may well cost the company money in the long run to train a new employee and that is assuming the new employee even works out.
Addiction solution for workers
Many drug addicts are able to work with little or no suspicion. They continue to work without getting help because they can. Besides that, there is often the worry that they will be fired from their jobs if they take time off of work to beat drug addiction. Employers that provide holistic drug and alcohol addiction services are benefiting the company and the employee. With a program available, a drug addict is more apt to ask for and get help than if they have to worry about losing their job. The company is then able to retain good workers by helping them to overcome their drug addiction and become more productive, safe and conscientious workers. Holistic drug treatment is a win-win situation.
Oil industry companies in Fort McMurray and others around the world are learning the benefits of providing holistic drug and alcohol treatment for their employees. Addiction is rampant. Therefore, treating the problem is preferable to taking a chance on firing an employee only to hire another drug addict. The cost to the oil company for comprehensive drug addiction services is minimal compared to the cost due to absences and injuries directly related to drug addiction.

The joint parliamentary consultation launched in a bid to regenerate Hamilton town centre has drawn to a close.
On completion, the survey gathered 1807 responses from business owners, residents and shoppers.
HAMILTON ADVERTISER: All the top news as it happens
The action plan to regenerate the town centre was set up after a special investigation by the Advertiser found that there were 45 empty business premises in the town.
The next phase is for the parliamentarians to produce a report, outlining the survey responses and make recommendations for policy change.
FACEBOOK: Join in the chat with thousands of our followers
Lanark and Hamilton East MP Angela Crawley said: "The level of community spirit throughout the process has been unprecedented, and the call for action has never been louder.
"As the analysis of the survey responses begin, one thing is clear – the people of Hamilton want change. That's why the next stage in our action plan is so important.
"Christina and I will now formulate a report and make the case to South Lanarkshire Council for a change in policy direction that reflects your views – a shift in policy that brings jobs, growth and people back into our local economy."
Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse MSP Christina McKelvie said: "I knew the residents of Hamilton would answer the call when asked about their town.
"I thank each and every person who took the time to write back to Angela and I. The responses will now be collated and the findings presented, with a joint report being commissioned in the near future.
"Make no mistake, this is just the beginning. This consultation signals the start of what can be a revitalising and exciting future for our town centre."

The disclosure came as Cohen's attorneys tried to persuade a federal judge in New York.
New York, US.- A legal fight over what should happen to records the FBI seized from President Donald Trump's personal attorney took a surprise twist Monday when the lawyer, Michael Cohen, was forced to reveal in court that he had also secretly done legal work for Fox News host Sean Hannity.
The disclosure came as Cohen's attorneys tried to persuade a federal judge in New York to delay prosecutors from examining records and electronic devices seized in the raids on the grounds that many of them are protected by attorney-client privilege.
U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood said in hearings Friday and again on Monday that if Cohen wanted the court to declare that the some of his files were protected because of attorney confidentiality rules, he would have to divulge the names of his clients.
In a court filing Monday, Cohen's attorneys said three people received legal help from Cohen in 2017 and 2018, after Trump became president.
One was Trump himself. Another was Elliot Broidy, a Trump fundraiser who resigned from the Republican National Committee on Friday after it was revealed that he paid $1.6 million to a Playboy Playmate with whom he had an extramarital affair. The Playmate became pregnant and elected to have an abortion.

Nearing the end of the group project has probably help me understand level design a little more than what I had at the beginning of the project. Although the queens building already existed we had to plan which spaces best showed our abilities and what we planned to produce. There are many factors that come into play when designing paths and areas for level design that drift away from the normal considerations of visual and spatial elements, these include but are not limited to dynamic behaviours, navigations, interactivity and playability. Designers must remember that although it important to make everything pretty, it is also important that whilst playing, you have a fundamental design that can help you navigate. It must show what you want the player to see and where you want them to go, without making a room full of corridors.
Visual style is important for level design as it decides what the player focuses on, this is done by visual elements and architecture and by having a strong colour pallet. Genuinely designers make sure that lighting and props draw the attention of the level and define the playable areas in which the character can play through, depicting direction of movement and funnelling points for more intense gameplay. This works in well with spatial elements; designers, such as Valve quite often have a blank block out called a white box. This allows play testing of areas without the visual noise of colour. It means they can focus of interesting arrangement of features and make sure designs that they have actually transfer to a 3d environment that is playable. It also is done very quickly which allows many ideas to be play tested in a very short amount of time.
Dynamic behaviours are important to a levels design as they allow a more natural feeling and approach to gameplay. They include things such as flickering lights, moveable objects and destructible environments and props. They add interesting events and break up repetitive behaviours that are quite easily produced in games. Navigations are plausible routes and paths that the player can get to an object. No matter what sort of game you produce there always has to be a location or end point that the player is trying to reach. When designing gameplay and the environment it is important to make this as understandable as possible. For instance visual clues leading to a doorway, lighting, roads, signs and other stimuli can all lead the player in the direction you want and can keep them moving through weaker areas and towards key areas and events. Navigation is important to the speed of gameplay and how this translates into an enjoyable or probably more relevant, tantalising environment level.
Interactivity are events that remind you that you are playing (hopefully) in an immersive environment that keeps you interested and makes you focused on what you are playing, rather than other distractions. If you played through a level that couldn't respond to your input it would soon get very repetitive. Currently companies are trying to produce new ways to keep players responsive and focused. This can be done with anything that requires player input to progress or even to produce unrelated actions. Players thrive of finding ways to progress and watching their effort or work unfold before them. Climbing, pushing, pressing, shooting, crawling, swimming, connecting are all verbs and all describe an action. By completing these actions an interactive aspect would happen such as a path becomes useable, a valve turns or something explodes. By using interactive actions and direct interactivity with the player and weapons another stage of realism and playability is added, a world becomes more playable and environment design has been implemented more successfully.
All of the factors above result in the playability of a level, a designer should take in consideration where the players meet, where actions occur and what is the overall function of the level, whether it is linear or multiplayer and whether there are enough things to improve the longevity of the playability. By making sure each step is taking a level can quickly evolve from initial sketches, to a fully-fledged interactive map that should keep players interested for the maximum amount of time and show off visual art to the best of the levels ability.

I completely agree with Joelle that this episode does drag in spots. It is certainly not my favorite. But what was interesting to me about it is that I think I liked it a lot better when I was younger, and I think that the reason why is because it is really written more for teenagers than for adults. At least this is my theory about why it doesn't work so well for me now, Joelle may feel totally different.
This is ultimately an episode about realizing that your parents/caregivers are human beings who made mistakes in their past. Sometimes terrible mistakes, things they are still paying for, things that have impacted who they are today. But that's not news to me at 31. I've known just how human and flawed my parents (and every more grown-up person than me that I have) are for a long time. The kick of discovering that when you're a teenager, which is certainly when it most frequently happens, should not be underestimated and I am really glad he did an episode on it. But I think it just doesn't hold the same punch when we are the adults. At least not for me.
So let's get into this.
I have never, ever understood why Phillip goes looking for Giles at the school in the middle of the night. Or evening. It's probably evening, we're looking at after Halloween I suppose, so it's getting dark early. What it certainly is not is anywhere near school hours. There's no reason to assume he lives here and since they're going to introduce Giles' house in this episode, it seems particularly silly.
I have always found it especially charming that Phillip asks Deirdre if it is her, while her face is clearly dead and basically disintegrating. I mean, probably it is not her, Phillip. I'm just suggesting. What I have not found charming is the fact that he didn't actually run instead of pounding ineffectually at a door until she slowly ambled up to him and unimpressively strangled him to death. It just seems so dumb.
I have to say that I am 100% on the side of Giles in the aerobic music battle and I don't care if it makes me old. Whatever the fuck Buffy is listening to is TERRIBLE and my ears actually ring with appreciation when she turns it off. Why couldn't she be listening to 90's pop or something? That had a beat too! I do love her work-out clothes however.
I would like to say that Joelle did not mention how astonishingly dated their game of "anywhere but here" is. It cracks me up every time. I mean, Gavin Rossdale? John Cusack? These are hard 90's picks. I love John Cusack but he is nowhere near an anywhere but here list for me these days. I never cared for Gavin Rossdale. But either way.
I do like that they all assume that Giles could never have been restless in school. It's a good place to start it, because it is that concept of who the adult in your life is that cannot be shaken. It frustrates you, it often gets under your skin, but at the same time, there is a certainty to it that you can tell gives them comfort even as they are mocking it. It is that exact certainty that will be shaken during this episode.
I would love to know why Xander was unaware he was going to have to be in school that Saturday. I would think that was something that you would be required to alert students to in advance.
I adore Jenny teasing Giles about his book. I would love nothing more than to do this to David but I would never be able to keep a straight face like she does. Also, sexy fuddy duddy makes COMPLETE sense to me, for reasons I will not go into because a certain person would probably murder me when I saw them this week. I'm just saying.
As Giles is being confronted in the library about the homicide and Cordelia breezes in… I just love her obliviousness to everything. It is my favorite. I particularly love her "Why is everyone always yelling my name?" She just sounds so hurt.
So yes, it is Giles friend that is there and I think it is a funny thing that the woman
asks him if this friend he hasn't seen in 20 years would "have any reason to contact him?" Instead of the much more obvious question of "so… would your friend have any reason to fly to a different continent and show up at your place of employment with no luggage or identification of any kind?" Speaking of which, how did he get to America with no identification?
Buffy is waiting for the blood delivery. It all seems kind-of silly to me. I mean, as far as vamp hijinx go, this seems fairly low key and also confusing. Do vampires who do NOT have souls even like to drink cold blood? Like it cannot taste the same, right? Why not just go eat people? Also like… I know hospitals need blood but it's one delivery and can probably be replaced. Just don't make a habit of it, you crazy fellows. And finally, when it comes to things that are biological in nature, don't they keep a closer eye on them than dropping them off in a deserted back alley parking lot in the middle of the night? Oh, Sunnydale.
Worried Buffy goes to Giles house and I was so excited to see it for the first time! I love Giles house. It has very strong vibes of any number of 90's television shows and it's clearly on a stage and I just love it. I love his door. I love all of it. Anyway. Poor Giles, all muddled up and not okay and it's freaking Buffy out because his entire job is to be okay and be predictable.
More crazy questions about how corpses and British people travel. It really is a pretty gaping plot hole. Also, I know we don't see the tattoo on Giles again, but does he ever roll up his sleeves again? I mean, seriously, I'm not sure.
So Buffy goes to school the next morning to sound the alarm because something is wrong with Giles. While yes, I understand drinking alone is fairly low on the scale of things he could be doing, as a kid this would have sent me into a spiral of absolute panic. It screams of an adult who is having a breakdown or who cannot deal with what is happening to them. It is a situation of possibly having to take care of an adult instead of having them do the taking care of that they are supposed to do and that is the most profoundly frightening thing ever. It makes sense to me that they are all freaked out by that possibility. To be fair, it really is out of character as far as anything they've ever seen of him.
IS it weird that Buffy punches Ethan in the face immediately? Because I love Ethan as a villain a lot and I love his face but he really did sell them costumes that almost got all of them killed and also he just greeted her by trying to throw a bookcase on her head. Punching him in the face seems like the exact thing that I would assume Buffy would do, to be honest.
I don't have a lot to say about much of the middle goings on here, except that sometimes I feel like the young dialogue is heightened in this episode. I particularly took note of Cordelia's "I'm going to be in therapy till I'm 30," which now seems like such a high school thing to say. Who could possibly think beyond 30? I say from 31.
So whatever. Zombie Phillip inexplicably breaks out of the book cage, knocking
Jenny unconscious and sealing her fate, and temporarily the fate of her and Giles' relationship. I do assume they reinforced the book cage when keeping a werewolf in there? Of course, they also kept crazy strong hyena possessed Xander in there and he couldn't break out. Maybe Zombie Phillip was much more cunning than we gave him credit for. Or… let's be honest. This villain is just really poorly constructed. Like Joelle said. None of it makes much sense, it's pointless to break your brain on the specifics.
I do think Jenny looks extremely pretty in this episode before she sprouts strange blue gem things all over her head area. Like she just has a lot going on that I appreciate. And while I in theory appreciate the general idea of Giles not being willing to "take advantage" of a situation, that actually… does not make a lot of sense to me even from this perspective, to be honest? And in fact I am kind-of frustrated by it. Like before he knew she was a demon, obviously. Clearly it ended up being the right call, but if she had not been possessed by crazed demonic energy, I don't actually see anything about this situation that makes her incapable of making an adult decision to want to have sex. She's not drunk, she's not incapacitated. She's had a bad and frightening day, but you can still make decisions with that. As a grown-up. Now, if this is GILES saying that he does not feel comfortable with this being their first time, that is totally different. And in truth, I think this has almost nothing to do with Jenny at all and has everything to do with what Joelle was saying about Giles being frightened of his own moral compass, but I think this is actually an example of him going overboard and I find it frustrating. Again, because of what we know, it ends up being the right call and it's good that they don't have sex, obviously, but sans demon I think it would have been kind-of shitty to make his issues about her.
I would also like to know if in olden days the operator could really tell you that a phone was out of order when someone broke the cord. That never made any sense to me. Surely it would just ring, right? Is there something I'm missing there?
So whatever, big drama, big demon, running away and then Buffy having to deal
with a breaking down Giles. I think her line here about "Don't be sorry, be Giles!" is probably the most telling line. Watching the people who are supposed to be the grown-ups have the freak outs and break downs and have to take care of them is a lot to take for any teenager. Giles is her strong place and demons she can handle, but Giles as a blubbering mess on the floor is not something she actually wants to deal with.
So she goes running off to rescue Ethan and she still does not really realize how much of a glorious and delightful asshole Ethan is. God, I love him so much. I am so sad at how few episodes he appears in. Also, I would like to know how he got the table that they used in the marionette episode to tie Buffy up on. Like Joelle, I'm more than a little confused why Giles and Ethan both didn't just have their tattoos removed ages ago? I mean, I know they thought they were rid of the demon but surely better safe than sorry? Also, has anyone noticed the rather huge plot hole where they never explain why they weren't rid of the demon? Like did Deirdre or whoever the other one was summon it again for old time's sake, or did it magically regain power somehow or…? This is never addressed at all and it doesn't make sense. Sigh.
So you know. Whatever. Angel has an interior demon battle, which mostly consists of pretty dreadful CGI. Ethan runs away, like he does. I know Buffy wanted to punch him, but he obviously had to run away because like… there was nothing else plot-wise they could have done with him. They can't exactly put him in jail at this point. Dark Giles might kill him but I think we've got some time to get to that. Also, this means he'll be back, which is the best. Hooray!
I would like to only note in closing to this long and rambling thing that if Buffy
would like to hide her tattoo from her mother, perhaps she might consider wearing a shirt that does not expose her entire upper back? I think it is a cute shirt, but perhaps a cardigan could be considered until she convinces whoever she is going to convince to do a tattoo removal without parental consent.
And finally, I don't know how I feel about Jenny breaking up with Giles. I feel like they decided she was going to have secrets about Angel later (maybe not, but it always felt written in suddenly to me) so it's hard to read it that way. And also, I have no real concept of how she experienced the possession or if she has much experience with trauma that might have made it more difficult for her or… anything really. Like we don't actually know much of anything about Jenny for as much as I enjoy her. I can think of a number of reasons I might need a break after something like that. I don't really hold it against her, but I wish I understood more of her perspective.
In all, I feel like this show sets up a lot of themes that will in some ways be explored better in next season's episode Band Candy? That will have these same ideas of kids being absolutely terrified by the adults in their lives being people with pasts that are unacceptable and hard to cope with (and being able to see them in full color, which is the worst nightmare), as well as having to take care of them instead of being taken care of. It will also be a more fun episode. AND it will have Ethan. I'm just saying. This feels a little like a practice run in some ways.

The Price Family Story
"Even though our church is large, I have always felt like we are such a close-knit congregation. There is a place for everybody here at CFUMC!" – Mariana Price
"Cumming First United Methodist Church has given our family a place to serve God and be surrounded by other Christian families. The outreach that our church does is amazing and has shown us how to be servants of our Lord and community," said Mariana Price.
Josh and Mariana started their marriage 10 years ago. As newlyweds, they moved to Cumming and soon welcomed their first child, Ben. They knew it was time to begin looking for a preschool for their young son. "Our neighbors, Melissa and Tyson Currie, who were church members, recommended the CFUMC preschool to our family. After such a wonderful experience at the preschool, that December we decided to join the church. It was the perfect place for our family and close to home," Mariana said.
Their family loves attending the lake service at Bald Ridge Marina Chapel during the summer. "If you haven't attended the Lake Service before, you are missing out! It's so peaceful to be lakeside singing hymns and listening to the word of God. I look forward to it every year." The Price family also attends the 11:00 am service where they "enjoy singing the traditional hymns. We love listening to the choir sing and John Hutchinson play the organ. The music is so beautiful and is what we grew up with."
Josh is an Upward coach and participates in One Great Day of Service as well as volunteering with the UMW Consignment Sale, while Mariana is a member of the United Methodist Women (UMW) and a part of the Naomi Ruth Circle. She became a UMW Circle Leader two years ago. Regarding UMW, Mariana said, "The connection we all have with each other is something rare and special. We are always there to lean on and pray for each other. The fellowship is what drew me to UMW. I think it is so important as a young woman, to surround yourself with other Christian women." Through their generosity, United Methodist Women help empower and improve the lives of women, youth, and children in the United States and around the world.
Mariana's time with these women is invaluable and has made a major impact on her life, "The women in UMW have supported me in so many ways. I have met some of my closest friends through UMW and I am so grateful for that. When I had my twins, these women brought me gifts, food, and lots of love that I will never forget. We are always there for each other and I am so lucky to have each and every one of them in my life. Something else that I have appreciated is the prayer ministry and church staff praying for my family. It's such a blessing to know that others are praying for you and care about your family," Mariana said.
Twice a year, the UMW hosts a Kid's Consignment Sale. They sell strollers, children's clothing, toys and more. A percentage of the profits go to help with the women's and children's outreach programs. For the past three years, Mariana served on the UMW Consignment Sale Committee and recently took on the role of co-chair. Regarding the UMW women of the Consignment Sale Mariana said, "The commitment and love these women have for God, our church, and our community is inspiring! Their heart and soul goes into this sale every season. The missions work that UMW does would not be possible without the Consignment Sale and this is one of the reasons I am involved in this awesome ministry."
Josh and Marianna have three children, nine-year-old Ben and five-year old twins Madison and Lauren. Their kids attended the CFUMC preschool and attend Kid's Kingdom every Sunday morning. Ben is a part of packing Backpacks of Love for at-risk kids in Forsyth County. The kid's love Explosion on Sunday nights and the Children's Ministry Fall Festival Night in the Patch is their favorite each year. They also attend VBS every summer.
Mariana said, "Our church is a very special place. Lives are transformed here every day. The best parts about CFUMC are the people and the outreach to our community. Even though our church is large, I have always felt like we are such a close-knit congregation. There is a place for everybody here at CFUMC!"

Supreme Court Appointment Process: President's Selection of a Nominee [January 27, 2017] [open pdf - 847KB]
"The appointment of a Supreme Court Justice is an event of major significance in American politics. Each appointment is of consequence because of the enormous judicial power the Supreme Court exercises as the highest appellate court in the federal judiciary. Appointments are usually infrequent, as a vacancy on the nine-member Court may occur only once or twice, or never at all, during a particular President's years in office. Under the Constitution, Justices on the Supreme Court receive what can amount to lifetime appointments which, by constitutional design, helps ensure the Court's independence from the President and Congress. The procedure for appointing a Justice is provided for by the Constitution in only a few words. The 'Appointments Clause' (Article II, Section 2, clause 2) states that the President 'shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint ... Judges of the supreme Court.' The process of appointing Justices has undergone changes over two centuries, but its most basic feature--the sharing of power between the President and Senate--has remained unchanged: To receive appointment to the Court, a candidate must first be nominated by the President and then confirmed by the Senate."

I am sorry I don't think I explained very well, what I was hoping to do. I would like to upload a current contact spreadsheet to Jotform.
I would like each line on the spreadsheet to match or correlate to the correct fields on the form. Name on the spreadsheet goes into the "update form" under name. The address we have goes to the address field on the form. Each form would have the contact information that is showing on the spreadsheet.
Then the customized form is emailed to the customer - then the customer doesn't have to retype all their data - they can just make the corrections in the fields that are needed and return the form.
Is there a way to do what I suggested?
Thanks for your time and wisdom.
I am sorry for misunderstanding. You might consider the following scenario in this case.
1) The data can be imported with our Import Data app.

2) Then, you will need to manually construct edit submission links for imported entries. Please see the next thread to get the idea about submission edit link format.
