You know what you know and you don't know what do you don't know. Four years ago if you asked me to define beauty, I probably would have told you it involved weighing 120 pounds, wearing a size four and looking "lean and toned." Today, though I wear a size 4, I am proud to weigh a strong 150 pounds. Before Crossfit I simply did not know. In a world that tells us who we are is not enough, not thin enough, not pretty enough, not tan enough, notstrong enough, it is hard to believe that you are enough.
When did strong become the new skinny?
I discovered CrossFit six years ago through my ex-husband. When he returned from his deployment to Afghanistan he introduced me to CrossFit and a completely new world of, you are not enough. While CrossFit motivates most people to want to better for themselves, I embraced CrossFit to make my husband happy. For 12 months I had spent hours on the elliptical, counting calories and skipping meals, starving myself in an attempt turn my body into what I thought was desirable. I thought exposed hip and collar bones was beauty, yet now I find myself envious of girls with muscles and strength because that is what my husband suddenly found attractive. All my hard work was now, once again, not enough. It was no longer, you are not skinny enough but instead you are not strong enough. I was now expected to learn to row fast, jump high and clean massive amounts of weight all while wearing booty shorts if I wanted to be enough for him.
It is hard to openly admit that I fell in love with CrossFit for all the wrong reasons, but it's the truth. I thought that embracing CrossFit would save my marriage, that it would turn me into what my husband wanted me to be. What I didn't expect was that it would turn out to be the saving grace that gave me the strength to walk away from an abusive marriage. CrossFit for the first time taught me to embrace who I am today, not who I want to be tomorrow, as enough.
The transformation from I am too fat, to I am too skinny to, hey I am Melissa.
The transition from cardioaholic to CrossFitter was not an easy one. It's one thing to be told you don't need to do hours of cardio in order to maintain your figure. It is another to be told that you should drink whole milk instead of soy, eat bacon instead oatmeal, and yolks with your whites. I think I simply went into a state of shock and didn't wake up until I found myself stuck in the middle of a WOD with my coach screaming at me to jump up on the god damn box. Believe me, I jumped, I jumped head first into my future right in that moment. I was hooked on the personal competitive nature of every WOD, fascinated by the nutritional science behind Paleo and mesmerized by this world of women who didn't spend all their time complaining about how unhappy they were with their bodies. I wanted to be a part of their world and they openly let me in. Muscle quickly replaced bone protrusions and I found myself caring less about the approval of my husband and more about how amazing I felt. For the first time his approval of my body stopped being what I yearned for. The final straw was when we were out at dinner with friends. I had hit a good PR that day and was feeling good. His response to my success was an hour-long tirade of how CrossFit had changed me too much. I now ate too much, was bulking up too much, and stupidly cared too much about it. In that moment I realized that maybe all along I had been too much for him, that maybe I had been enough for myself and just didn't know it.
Paying it Forward
After leaving my husband and moving home, I struggled to find a way to combine my passion for CrossFit with my desire to give others what CrossFit had given me. I started a job working with at-risk youth in a transitional group home, and attempted to share my newfound sense of "enough" with the kids I worked with. While I tried my hardest to cultivate in them a sense of self worth, I quickly realized that creating a sense of "enough" takes more than the short amount of time they spent in the transitional home. In a place where kids come and go every other week, I felt that I could make a greater impact working with my community somewhere where I could provide continuity of growth.
In 2011 I began transitioning into becoming a CrossFit coach. First as a coach then creating my own CrossFit Kids and Women Only Programs. This was just the beginning of my journey. Enter OPEX. In the fall of 2013 I met my coach and mentor Mike Lee. Not only has he taught me how to move with intent but also how to be a damn good coach. It has been through our work together and my continued education through OPEX that I've become the coach I am today. I am finally able to reach others the way I wanted to.
In the world of Pintrest boards and air brushed images we have stopped being enough. We have been taught that you must constantly strive for more without compassion for where you are today. My goal is to change that mentality. Strong is not the new skinny in my box. You are you where are you are today, wherever that may be. Six pack abs are no more a sign of your strength than collar bones are of your beauty. My 7th grade girls don't come to my class to get in shape so that they can impress their peers; their motivational drive is to be better for themselves. We celebrate a love for ourselves, just as we are. We celebrate elbows finally touching knees on the pull up bar and graduating from dumbbells to barbells. Whether it's a teen or a retired mother, we as a CrossFit family of females are learning together that who we are is simply enough.
I cant believe i had never seen this before Melissa.I guess this came at the right time for me when iam somehow trying to find that motivation again.I truely believe In letting someone know how you feel about them and I got to tell you how much respect love and admiration i have for you.I never really signed up for the amazing experience you have made me feel at Kura.I've always known you are special but reading this gives me a much better idea of why you are special "The best coach"…You have made me a better person,athlete and crossfiter in so many ways.Thank you my friend,Iam so glad i met you because without you in my life i would still be that stubborn with a big ego athlete!✌✌✌#lionmode
Yes i am glad i read this. It has inspired me to want to reach my goal in life even more. Thank you very much
wow, melissa! i was browsing through the site for some tidbits that could be helpful and came across this post. i had no idea about how you became involved with crossfit, but boy am i glad i've met you. your words of empowerment and motivation are very powerful, especially for someone like me who is getting started.
thank you!

OPERATING AND CAPITAL BUDGET - Fayette County Government
extended embed settings
II. RESERVE FUND POLICY PURPOSE The county will maintain a sufficient working capital reserve in the general, fire, EMS, and E911 funds to help offset economic downturns, provide sufficient working capital, and provide for sufficient cash flow for current financial needs. In addition, the county will maintain an emergency fund reserve in the general fund. POLICY There shall be a consistent and uniform process for maintaining working capital and emergency fund reserves for Fayette County. PROCEDURES The county will maintain a working reserve equal to at least three months of the fund appropriations budget for the general, fire, EMS, and E911 funds. This amount will be maintained as stabilization funds in the committed fund classification, except for E911 which will be maintained within the restricted fund classification. These reserves shall be created and maintained to provide the capacity to: 1. Offset significant economic downturn and the revision of any general government activity; 2. Provide sufficient working capital; and 3. Provide a sufficient cash flow for current financial needs at all times without short-term borrowing. To be able to use funds that are committed for stabilization, the Board of Commissioners must take formal action to release funds. This type of action will only be taken when failure to take such action would result in a negative position for the unassigned fund balance. In addition to the working capital reserves, the county will also maintain a $2 million emergency funding in the assigned fund classification. The emergency funding will only be used for a declared state of natural disaster. The funds will not be released without formal action of the Board of Commissioners. The county will also maintain reserves in compliance with all debt service requirements to maintain bond ratings and the marketability of bonds. The county will develop capital reserves to provide for normal replacement of existing capital plant and additional capital improvements financed on a pay-as-you-go basis. III. INVESTMENT POLICY PURPOSE The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for the investment of funds that are not needed immediately to pay current obligations. 61
This policy will be used so that funds not needed for immediate cash will be invested in a way that (1) safeguards the principal, (2) provides the liquidity required to meet financial obligations in a timely manner, and given these two goals, (3) provides the best return on investment. POLICY There shall be a consistent and uniform process for the investment of Fayette County funds not needed for immediate cash. PROCEDURES The first and foremost consideration in choosing investments is security. To reduce the risk of loss because of the failure of any financial institution, depository, broker, or dealer the county will 'pre-qualify' these entities prior to investing funds with them. Qualification will include, as appropriate, an audited financial statement demonstrating compliance with state and federal capital adequacy guidelines, proof of certification by a recognized association, proof of state registration, and evidence of adequate insurance coverage. The investment portfolio will be diversified in order to reduce the impact of potential loss from any one type of security or individual issuer. Risk of interest loss will be reduced by assuring that security maturity dates coincide with anticipated cash requirements, and by investing operating funds primarily in shortterm securities. The investments chosen will provide adequate liquidity to meet upcoming cash-flow requirements that may be reasonably anticipated. The investment portfolio will be structured so that investment securities mature concurrent with cash needs. In order to respond to unanticipated cash needs, investments will include securities with good resale markets, such as the local government investment pool. While taking care to assure that security and liquidity needs are met, investments will be made in a way that can be expected to produce a reasonable return on investment. Meeting all three of these goals at once will mean that the majority of investments are in relatively low-risk securities, which will earn a fair return relative to the risk assumed. Investments will be diversified by maturity, issuer, and class of security in order to help meet these goals. In compliance with Georgia Code Section 36-82-7, the county will invest bond issue proceeds only in the following: 1. The local government investment pool. 2. Bonds or other obligations of the State of Georgia, or any county municipal corporation, or other political subdivision of the state. 3. Bonds or other obligations of the United States, or subsidiary corporations which are fully guaranteed by the government. 4. Obligations of agencies of the United States government which are issued by the Federal Land Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank, the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank, for the Central Bank for Cooperatives. 5. Bonds or other obligations issued by any public housing agency or municipal corporation in the United States, if they are fully secured as to the payment of both principal and interest under an annual contributions contract with the United States government. 62

Cadillac launches the rear-drive CTS into the hotly contested luxury-sports-sedan market against the Audi A4, BMW 3-series, Lexus IS/ES300, and Acura TL, to name just a few. This Catera replacement previews the radical styling that will eventually be applied to all Caddys. Early drives indicate that Cadillac got the dynamics correct, but the jury is still out on the styling.
Also all-new for 2002, the Escalade EXT gets launched into the strange waters of luxury sport-ute/pickup crossovers. The only thing close to a direct competitor is the Lincoln Blackwood four-door pickup. The EXT is the Cadillac version of Chevrolet's hyper-useful and slightly queer Avalanche. The Cadillac gets a 345-hp, 6.0-liter V-8, all-wheel drive, and a stability-control system. The Escalade sport-ute was a very early 2002 model. It's available with rear- or all-wheel drive and a 285-hp, 5.3-liter V-8 or a 345-hp, 6.0-liter V-8 (in all-wheel-drive versions). This neo-Fleetwood has the largest Cadillac badge ever in the U.S. of A.
The Seville gets a trick new variable damping system at midyear. Otherwise, the Seville gets an improved navigation system and will eventually be available with satellite radio capability. The full-size DeVille gets the same nav-system improvements and satellite radio as the Seville. The Eldorado, in its last year, has been unchanged for eternity and is unchanged for 2002.
Technical Highlight
Cadillac's MagneRide, a new adjustable shock made by Delphi that will appear next year on the Seville, has remarkable response time and infinite adjustability. The magic is in the shock's oil, called magnetorheological (MR) fluid. As with a standard shock, the fluid passes through orifices in the shock piston, creating the damping effect. But with Magne-Ride, iron particles are suspended in the MR fluid and an electromagnet is embedded in the piston. You'll remember that magnets attract iron and that adjusting the amps on an electromagnet changes its strength. The car's computer adjusts the magnet's strength. Increasing the magnet's pulling power makes it harder for the MR fluid to pass through the piston's orifices, increasing the damping force. Weakening the magnetic force reduces damping. The Seville's computer adjusts the shocks about 1000 times a second. Cadillac says the shocks not only help the ride and handling; they're also very effective at slowing weight transfer, which aids stability.

Still from "The Deuce" new HBO series
My twitter feed today accidentally juxtaposed two things. One was a threat to expose me as a person who watched porn on my computer (Usually mainstream Netflix movies which I agree are pornographic, not just because of "sex" meaning something related to genitals and their use, but even more so because of violence, and to make the most impact, usually a mixture of the two.)
The idea of this extortionist was that if I didn't send him money, he would reveal clips of my internet feed that showed what I watch. He doesn't really know me, or he would realize that a) I don't have any money and b) my true audience would not be at all surprised by this revelation and they probably have access to and watch much more socially disapproved images than I do. They find me very conventional and conservative.
But part of the reason for living in a small rural town is that they are still easily shocked (which they sometimes enjoy) and don't have a "high" philosophical background and vocabulary that would give them an interest in issues like "what is porn?" and "what is abuse?" The kind of thinking I do is of no use to them.
At the same time, I got an advertisement from Home Box Office, which specializes in tales of violation, sex, and victimizing. I've been thinking about going to some other streamer than Netflix. I understand that I am a "Cord cutter," a person who doesn't watch broadcast or cable television, mostly because it is so limited — also expensive. I can watch most things on You Tube, esp. old BBC procedural mysteries, before they plunged into pleasing teenaged girls with fantasy about gentry. Where I'm out of sync is that I don't use any mobile gadgets like tablets or smart phones. That's the other bucket the money-makers have pulled over their heads.
The advertising is about a new series called "The Deuce" which is about the wicked illegal world of Times Square in New York City and about how its assumptions and methods have expanded to dominating the thinking of the whole nation. The actors, James Franco and Maggie Gyllenhaal, are well known for doing stuff out on the edge. http://www.hbo.com/the-deuce/about/video/the-business-of-sex.html?autoplay=true
The idea of this is that it will make you smarter and give you insight the same way as "The Wire" did it because it's the same author: David Simon. Well, not author. "Creator." Serieses on TV are team efforts, and (like brains, which I'll explore in later posts) they depend on what has already been done. Without "The Wire", "The Deuce" would never have been written, much less funded for production. George Pelicanos, has a long track record as a producer but was also a crime writer. There's bait all over the place — trailers, interviews, reviews, free viewing for the early parts.
This series will be competing with some very serious real stuff, like the removal of Trump, the recovery of the continent from almost inconceivable fire, drought, and hurricanes, and the returned danger of atomic war. Inconceivable because so few want to believe in climate change, least of all the steady workers of wheat and livestock country who are already worried but denying it.
That's the same way they think about sex. It is a familiar commodity for livestock raisers who deal in flesh and gestation and genetics. They are having a hard time with the change in gender roles: Dad who is a boss, Mom who is a consoler and fixer, and — unadaptively — descendants they have taught and educated to go live in the city and be high status "professionals." This has been such a success that the simple governmental resources of the counties and towns are collapsing from neglect and greed in spite of the best efforts of the now-aging earlier generations. There are not enough plumbers and too many lawyers.
It is much more dangerous for me to say this than it would be for some little cyber-squirt to threaten me with revelations about what I read and watch. I didn't waste my time on "Fifty Shades of Gray" though I did find "A Billion Wicked Thoughts" pretty interesting. It's a study of what porn consumers will pay for. Both surprising and thought-provoking, far more than a stupid girl involved with a sociopath, which evidently is an idea that seduces many who check out the library copy in Valier. "A Billion Wicked Thoughts" is more like Russian hacking of American political preconceptions, which are not quite so startling as their porn obsessions.
I wanted a ministry degree in part because I thought it would give me access to people's deepest and most intense issues, but I soon discovered that everyone was determined to let clergy only know the most shallow and conventional facade they could present. If they were diagnosed with terminal cancer, if their marriage was in trouble, if their child was on drugs — they hid it. However, now these terrible things have become so common that people fail to bother to hide them. In fact, some turn them into pity rackets, expecting advantages which they may or may not use. (This is not true of everyone, of course.)
I'm told (possibly to tease me) that it's not worth the bother of indicting Trump et al, because ALL politicians are just as bad, that their bad behavior is what got them into office — and there's no use to vote. It doesn't matter — not because the Russians hack the machines, but because democracy is an illusion, as corrupt as the monarchy that kills its princesses. I don't pass on my cynicism about the denomination I once considered "above" mediocre American culture, arrogant as such a view is.
Just indicting bad behavior and unlawfulness is a fool's preoccupation unless it leads to understanding and resolution. I think many of the causes are not obvious at all, though overpopulation and climate change are certainly major tectonic shifts under our cultures. But if a person needs a worthy cause to give life meaning, and even has a small chance of sharing that meaning, then it's worth a life. Threats of blackmail are meaningless.

I am just returning for the annual American Association of Nurse Practitioners. I was honored to speak at one of their general sessions on the topic of Chronic Pain Management, to a packed house of over 5,000 like-minded Nurse Practitioners. In this meeting, I attended a hands-on training seminar on the treatment of migraines, using Botox therapy. We all know that Botox has been famous for smoothing out wrinkles on the face. It has now been approved by the FDA to treat chronic migraine headaches in adults, and there is some promising results. So, let's look at migraine headaches, and how Botox can be beneficial in its treatment.
What is a Migraine headache?
A migraine is a common type of headache that may occur with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light. In many people, a throbbing pain is felt only on one side of the head. Some people who get migraines have warning symptoms, called an aura, before the actual headache begins. Migraine headaches affect more than 12% of the population.
Who is appropriate for Botox injections for migraine headaches?
Patients with chronic migraine experience a headache more than 14 days of the month. This condition can greatly affect family, work, and social life, so it is important to have a variety of effective treatment options available.
How is Botox used to treat migraines?
A qualified medical specialists administer 31 Botox injections into seven specific head and neck sites every 12 weeks. The goal of treatment is to dull future headache symptoms, requiring less medication and increasing a patient's quality of life.
The FDA's approval for use of Botox to fight migraines was based on the results of two studies involving 1,384 adults in North America and Europe. The studies, published in the March 2010 issue of Cephalalgia, report that patients treated with Botox experienced a major decrease in the frequency of headache days.
What are the side effects of Botox?
The most common adverse reactions reported by patients being treated for chronic migraine have been neck pain. Botulism type reactions are possible (but none have currently been reported), which are: swallowing and breathing problems.
It is important to note that the FDA says Botox does not appear to be useful in treating or preventing less frequent migraines that occur 14 days or less per month or other forms of headache. Many insurance companies are now paying for this therapy. It is important to see your health care provider, and be appropriately diagnosed with migraines if you think you are exhibiting these symptoms. You can then be referred to a provider who is specially trained in this therapy.

מוֹר – Myrrh – Commiphora Myrrha
Printable Version
The Bitter, Detoxifying, Amalek-Eliminating Myrrh
Sweet smelling trees play an important role in the Scroll of Esther. In fact, the two main heroes of the Purim story are compared respectively to myrrh and myrtle. Arizal teaches that the organ of the month of Adar is the nostril (Arizal, Etz Chaim, Rosh Hashana 4). Indeed, it is the sense of smell that saved the Jewish people in the time of Mordechai and Esther, who are called Mor v'Hadas – 'Myrrh and Myrtle' – two primary sources of fragrance. Myrrh is a resin, or sap-like substance, from a tree – common in Africa and the Middle East – distinctive for its white flowers and knotted trunk. The Hebrew word מָר/mor – 'myrrh' is from the word מַר/mar – bitter. Myrrh is one of the bitterest herbs I've ever tasted. In Chinese medicine, we learn that each kind of taste has a particular medicinal property. The bitter flavor has the ability to expel toxins and cleanse the body through its anti-biotic, anti-viral and detoxifying properties. This explains why the queen candidates for Achasverush's harem had to soak in myrrh-baths before coming before the king. "When each maiden's turn came to go to king Achasverush at the end of the 12 months' treatment prescribed for the women: six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with perfumes and women's cosmetics" (Megillat Esther 2:12). Malbim explains that the oil of myrrh removes unnecessary body hair, which implies that we should remove the desire for extras during the six winter months. Moreover, the detoxifying property of myrrh corresponds to Mordechai who had the ability to remove the wicked Haman from the Amalekite people.
The Eleven Holy Aromatics Overcoming the Eleven Unholy Husks
Mordechai is associated with the myrrh – one of the eleven spices of the ketoret (incense), which had the power to counteract the plague of death, "Aharon took [the fire-pan]... He put the incense in it, and it atoned for the people. He stood between the dead and the living, and the plague was checked" (Bamidbar 17:12-13). Mordechai together with Esther likewise had the power to overcome Haman's evil death-decree.
תלמוד בבלי מסכת חולין דף קלט/ב מרדכי מן התורה מנין דכתיב מר דרור ומתרגמינן מירא דכיא:
Where is Mordechai mentioned in the Torah? "Pure myrrh" translates as "mira dechaya" [which sounds similar to Mor dechai] (Shemot 30:23); (Babylonian Talmud, Chulin 139b).
Why is Mordechai associated specifically with the incense? Whereas there are ten dimensions of holiness, there are eleven dimensions of un-holiness from the other side, corresponding to Haman and his ten sons. Therefore, the incense contained eleven aromatics, in order to counteract the eleven impure forces in the world. The eleven aromatics of the incense had the power to purify and expel the eleven unholy husks of the other side. The reason why there are eleven powers of impurity while only ten powers of holiness, is that everything has a life-sustaining holy light that keeps it in existence. Regarding the dimension of holiness, this light is absorbed into the ten sefirot and so does not count as an element unto itself. In contrast regarding the dimension of unholiness (the sitra achra), the life-sustaining holy light does not absorb into the ten impure sefirot, and so constitute a presence unto itself – the eleventh (Maor V'Shemesh, Remzei Purim based on Arizal, Sha'ar Hapesukim, Parashat Ki Tavo).
Transforming the Blessing of Haman
Myrrh is the first spice mentioned in the anointing oil:
ספר שמות פרק ל (כג) וְאַתָּה קַח לְךָ בְּשָׂמִים רֹאשׁ מָר דְּרוֹר חֲמֵשׁ מֵאוֹת...
"And you, take for yourself spices of the finest sort: of pure myrrh five hundred [shekel weights]" (Shemot 30:23).
Why is myrrh called מָר דְּרוֹר/mor dror – 'pure or free myrrh'? When the blood of the body turns into breast milk, it represents the transformation of din (judgment) to chesed (loving-kindness). Likewise, myrrh, which means bitter corresponds to judgment yet when it is transformed to become purified chesed, it is called דְּרוֹר/dror – 'pure.' Mordechai is compared specifically to mor dror – 'pure myrrh' because he was able to transform and sweeten the holy spark of Haman with which he troubled Israel. Although the belongings of the Amalekite people generally is forbidden for a Jew because their holy sparks are tied up and unavailable, "Esther placed Mordechai in charge of Haman's estate" (Megillat Esther 8:2), because of Mordechai had the power to extract and transform the spark of Haman buried deeply within the depths of impurity (Sefer Panim Yafot, Shemot 30:23).
Mystical Divine Recipe Connecting Heaven & Earth
Although, according to the halacha to Moshe from Sinai, myrrh is one of the eleven spices in the Temple incense, it is not mentioned directly in the Torah verse describing the incense:
ספר שמות פרק ל (לד) וַיֹּאמֶר הָשֵׁם אֶל משֶׁה קַח לְךָ סַמִּים נָטָף וּשְׁחֵלֶת וְחֶלְבְּנָה סַמִּים וּלְבֹנָה זַכָּה בַּד בְּבַד יִהְיֶה:
"G-d said to Moshe: Take for yourself aromatics such as balsam, onycha and galbanum, aromatics and pure frankincense they shall be of equal weight" (Shemot 30:34).
Only four of the incense aromatics are mentioned directly. Yet the word "aromatics" is mentioned twice in the Torah verse. Since it is in the plural form, the first "aromatics" must refer to a minimum of two spices. Thus, there are five spices including the three first spices mentioned by name. The word "aromatics" mentioned a second time refers to a similar number of spices as those already mentioned, making it ten. When we include the frankincense mentioned in the end, it adds up to eleven spices (Rashi, Shemot 30:34).
Perhaps myrrh was not mentioned directly in the incense because it increases the power of the other incense ingredients. Thus, the unifying quality of myrrh reflects the inter-connectivity and harmony of the incense. The Hebrew word for incense, ketoret, is related to the word kesher, meaning a 'bind' or 'knot.' Myrrh helps imbue the incense with its ethereal unified essence that connect heaven and earth.
Myrrh & Frankincense – Elevating the Vital and Vegetative Soul
The Jewish people in the dessert is compared to a woman perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, "Who is se that comes up from the desert like columns of smoke, in clouds of myrrh and frankincense?" (Shir Hashirim 3:6). Often myrrh and frankincense go hand in hand (Shir Hashirim 3:6, 4:6, 4:14). Perhaps, because they correspond to awe and love respectively. Myrrh with its purifying property corresponds to awe, whereas Levona with its connotation of white purity corresponds to love. According to Malbim, myrrh represents the vital soul, whereas myrrh represents the vegetative soul. By means of Israel's burning love the incense of myrrh and frankincense emerged. When we ascend in spirituality (frankincense) and character development (myrrh), we have the ability to purify and elevate the hidden spiritual elements inherent in the lower vital and vegetative soul and include them in holiness.
Torah Dripping with Flowing Myrrh
When we develop true awe, we will be able to integrate the Torah in the deepest way. Any Torah student who sits before his teacher but his lips do not drip with myrrh [due to fear of his teacher], those lips shall be burnt, as it is written: "His lips are like roses, dripping with flowing myrrh" (Babylonian Talmud, Shabbat 30b). Perhaps the student's lips are compare to myrrh because the myrrh flows extremely slowly from the tree. Likewise, we must realize that the sweetness of Torah is not acquired hastily. Rather it drips, in an almost imperceptible way into the student. The Rebbe is like a tree and the Torah that he teaches can be likened to myrrh. If the student tries to speed up the process he can get burned as it states, "be careful of their coals in order that you should not get burnt" (Pirkei Avot 2:10). On the other hand the burning of the lips can be understood in a positive light. When the Rabbi learns Torah with his student, he enters into his heart the holy fire of the letters of the Torah. This way the excitement of the Creator burns within him like fire. With this fire, the student can keep going on his own and receive new Torah insights (Toldot Aharon Likutim). In order to retain and build on the Torah of his master the student needs both 'love' – corresponding to "His lips are like roses…" and 'awe' corresponding to "…dripping with flowing myrrh."
Consoling Grief for the Dead
Myrrh was most commonly used in preparation for burial and for embalming to keep the body from decomposing. The smell of myrrh has traditionally been a symbol of suffering, burned at funerals or other occasions of mourning. There are few herbs so useful in working through personal sorrows and tragedies. Myrrh will help ease the troubled soul in its grieving. It brings comfort to those who have lost a loved one, whose troubled hearts need the healing strength of understanding the mystery of death. Burned as an incense myrrh purifies the area, lifts the vibrations and creates peace. Burning myrrh oil releases a mysterious, spiritual presence into any room, and is therefore renown in aromatherapy for its meditative quality and for prayer. Myrrh is rarely burned alone; usually in conjunction with frankincense or other resins.
Healing Properties of Myrrh
Among the numerous healing properties of myrrh, I found the following qualities most remarkable:
Myrrh has been found to inhibit the growth in eight different types of cancer cells, specifically gynecological cancers (http://academicjournals.org/article/article1380545334_Su%20et%20al.pdf). Myrrh is an expectorant that helps relieve congestion, coughs and colds, while reducing phlegm. Due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, myrrh treats inflammation of the mouth and gums such as gingivitis and mouth ulcers. As a mouth rinse, it prevents gum disease and freshens the breath. Therefore, it is commonly used as an ingredient in mouthwash and toothpaste. Myrrh oil also helps maintain healthy skin by treating scrapes and wounds to prevent infection and soothing chapped or cracked skin. It likewise helps reduce fungal infections such as athlete's foot or ringworm. Apply a few drops on a clean cloth before rubbing it gently on the skin.

I recently read this article by Daniel Peterson regarding the Doctrine of Exaltation and how it has been taught by Joseph Smith via revelation, even before the founding of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Starting with a passage from The Book of Mormon translated by Joseph Smith in the late 1820's, The Book of Mormon describes the Savior's visit to the America's. This scripture is Jesus speaking to the Three Nephites in 3 Nephi:
"Ye have desired that ye might bring the souls of men unto me, while the world shall stand. And for this cause ye shall have fulness of joy; and ye shall sit down in the kingdom of my Father; yea, your joy shall be full, even as the Father hath given me fulness of joy; and ye shall be even as I am, and I am even as the Father; and the Father and I are one." (3 Nephi 28:9-10)
He teaches his disciples that they will become as He and The Father are, and that they will become one.
Later on, Joseph Smith recieved a revelation in 1832 regarding exaltation:
"They are they into whose hands the Father has given all things — They are they who are priests and kings, who have received of his fulness, and of his glory; and are priests of the Most High, after the order of Melchizedek, which was after the order of Enoch, which was after the order of the Only Begotten Son. Wherefore, as it is written, they are gods, even the sons of God — Wherefore, all things are theirs, whether life or death, or things present, or things to come, all are theirs and they are Christ's, and Christ is God's. And they shall overcome all things." (Doctrine and Covenants 76:55-60)
Then just prior to his martyrdom, Joseph Smith expanded on the doctrine of exaltation even more in the 1844 King Follet Discourse:
"Here then is eternal life — to know the only wise and true God. You have got to learn how to make yourselves Gods in order to save yourselves and be kings and priests to God, the same as all Gods have done — by going from a small capacity to a great capacity, from a small degree to another, from grace to grace, until the resurrection of the dead, from exaltation to exaltation — till you are able to sit in everlasting burnings and everlasting power and glory as those who have gone before."
Kudos to Daniel Peterson in putting this all together to demonstrate this evolving principle as Joseph Smith himself learned it "line upon line, precept upon precept".

When we met with our Certified Professional Builders in July 2017, a lot of the discussions in the boardrooms focused on lead generation.
So why did these builders end up spending 12% less in advertising their building companies than they did in Quarter 2?
Answer: They got smart!
The Certified Professional Builders (CPBs) Marketing Analysis
...and managed to generate 17% more leads by spending 12% less cash….which in real terms means their cost per lead dropped from $42.89 in Quarter 2, to a mere $32.41 in Quarter 3!
That is a pretty impressive performance, especially when you consider that all of these builders are running Google Adwords campaigns, where the cost per lead is generally closer to the $100 mark!
If we look back at what the same group of builders did in Quarter 3 last year, their performance is even more remarkable.
Advertising Spend
Advertising spend is virtually the same, but leads are up by over 100%! During Quarter 3 in 2016 the average cost per lead was $66.02. This year, at just $32.41, it's less than half the amount! That's a 51% reduction in the cost of acquiring leads, which means all those savings flow straight through to the bottom line.
Lead Generation
Lead generation is critical for most building companies just to keep their doors open, but for these builders who are signing contracts at significantly higher margins than ever before, it's simply going to fuel even more profitable growth.
And speaking of growth, the signs are looking good with total workflow (the uninvoiced value on signed contracts) up by 35% on Quarter 2. Which means Quarter 4 should be another record breaking month for revenue.
Congratulations to all of our Certified Professional Builders. We're proud to be partnering with you and we can't wait to see how you guys perform in the final quarter of the year!

It wishes repainting, yet it's made from good mahogany from the Honduras, and the joinery … it's impressive. " "Voice Bros," acknowledged John. They have been within the hallway now, with its black and white chequered ground. "What are you aware approximately Voice Bros? " "They have been a company of neighborhood developers … they equipped plenty of prizewinning homes. " "Well, good. you've been doing all your homework. " there has been one other rumble of thunder, nearer this time. the sunshine contained in the condominium started to dim as clouds rolled over the sunlight. A wind without warning obtained up, and blew final autumn's dried leaves around the black and white ground. Mr Vane walked throughout to the sitting-room and opened the door. He went to the big naked window and stared out on the backyard. "You may have a superb destiny in entrance of you, you recognize. " John got here up and stood beside him yet acknowledged not anything. "You could lead on any such existence … you'll see such issues. " John stated, "I don't are looking to be an property agent all my existence. i would like to be a rock musician. " "Ah. A rock musician. " Mr Vane reported "rock musician" as though it have been a word in a international language. "You are looking to be well-known, do you? you will have your identify to stay for ever? " John shrugged. "I have the desire to make a few funds, regularly. you recognize. " "So you're no longer attracted to immortality? " Mr Vane stood very as regards to John and seemed at once into his eyes. during the window, in the back of him, John may possibly see the bushes beginning to sway. "I learn about the Druids," he stated. "The Druids? " stated Mr Vane. He stepped clear of John and paced slowly round the room, circling the shabby chaise-longue and the overturned chair. John watched him and his mouth used to be so dry that he needed to lick his lips. "And what do you think that you recognize in regards to the Druids? " "Everything. i do know all concerning the ley traces. i do know all concerning the those who received sucked into the partitions.

First day of School
Today I went down and picked up my script and score for the Addams Family workshop. It starts tomorrow. Is it lame that I picked out my first day of school outfit already? I even got a haircut today. Does anyone else do this on the first day of a new job?

Our game is very Physics oriented so the problem it is crucial for it.
Here below you can find the description to the problem.
Thank you very much.
All the best,
Game : Pool Elite
(Cross platform, Browser, PC, Mobile, Consoles)
50K MAU for now on soft launch
TLDR version of the problem and need :
In Unity 4 you could set rigidbody.useConeFriction to false and Physx worked perfectly.
With Unity5 and later we can not change it and Physx works very differently for our realistic Pool game.
This is the configuration we need to access from Unity: PxMaterialFlag and PxFrictionType
Reference links are below
Long version of the problem and need :
Our Pool game is very Physx related. We worked and got approval from 2 World Champions and our main differentiation from popular pool games is that we achieve top 3D graphics and real life Physx on all platforms using Unity3d.
When throwing a sphere collider to a box collider, sphere moves in incorrect direction after collision.
You can see an example here in Unity 5. The behaviour in this video can be reproduced in Unity 5 and later.
We tried the same test in Unity 4: Video link.. The collision result is correct.
In Unity 4, if we set rigidbody.useConeFriction to TRUE, it behaves similar to Unity 5, as you can see in this video.
In some cases, collisions cause the ball to GAIN momentum, even with a low bounciness value.
Since we are making a billiards game, the behaviour in first video is completely game breaking. Unity 4 with cone friction enabled causes a similar issue, so we suspect that friction settings are the cause. However, friction settings of rigidbody were removed since Unity 5 , so we cannot test it. Cone and pyramid friction models still exist in PhysX SDK, the problem is that Unity's rigidbody does not support them.
Tested PhysX SDK demos and This is the configuration we need to access from Unity: PxMaterialFlag and PxFrictionType
Thank you.

A new kind of venture
The key to success is simple, explains Kelly Hall, Vice President, Strategic Growth and Managing Director, Niaga "Our technology is founded on the firm belief that we must avoid the ignorance of throwing things away," he says. "But at the same time it's very important that we are able to present the industry with a sound business case – or they simply will not buy this technology."
The very fact that DSM has committed to this joint venture explains much about the nature of 21st century innovation and collaboration. "We have taken a leap of faith with this project because we can see the potential to apply our expertise and materials for tremendous benefit," says Kelly.

I can't believe how many posts there are here already – I feel quite left behind. It has been a somewhat hectic week for me though! I've just moved to London from York and what a move it's been! We're finally settled into our new flat in the rather trendy spot of Primrose Hill, but contrary to popular belief it's far from swarming with celebrities – much to my disappointment!
So – I'm going to ensure I spot many a celeb…by visiting the world famous Madame Tussauds in Marylebone. There I can bump into the gorgeous Daniel Craig or maybe even George Clooney…if only I could afford to visit Madame Tussauds NYC – now that would be something! Afterwards I might indulge in a spot of (window) shopping down Marylebone High Street with its many independent shops that prove to be a haven from the madness of nearby Oxford Street.
That's my Saturday afternoon sorted out, but so to the evening. I quite fancy going to see one of the many West End shows on offer – but my other half isn't much of a musicals fan. I think I might have found just the thing however! La Clique is a quirky cabaret set in London's Hippodrome. With a variety of acts to tease and tantalise I think that will be more up his street than an evening of Mamma Mia!
Oh so many things to do – so little time….and money! By the way – if you're looking for a top notch hotel at a brilliant price – try The Hoxton – a real gem not far from Old Street Station with designer good looks at bargain prices! My favourite things are the soaring bird sculptures hanging down in the entrance and the fact there is free internet access in the lobby, the free milk in the fridge, the full size bars of pears soap (it makes me reminisce!), the funky local area map in the room, the free Prêt breakfast….oh I could go on but why not go see for yourself!
Well I'm off to explore London some more – maybe take in some other top London attractions but will no doubt be back soon to see what everyone else is up to!!

When the dairy industry finally secured the long sought-after exemption for milk from the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC) Rule (under the Clean Water Act), there was a collective sigh of relief.
The "but" or footnote to this milk exemption is this: the November 10, 2011, deadline. What happens after this deadline is anyone's guess. Will there be enforcement action? No one can say with any certainty. What we do know is that the penalties under the Clean Water Act can be very significant and costly.
So, what should you do? Whether you are a dairy producer, crop farmer, beef feedlot, or make widgets for that matter, the issue is your capacity to store regulated oils and whether you need an SPCC plan. The following is a suggested, step-by-step approach to consider as you comply with the SPCC requirements:
1.Go to the National Milk Producers Federation website (www.nmpf.org). At the top of the page is "Issues Watch." Here you will see a drop down menu; click on "Energy and Environment." From here you can access "Tool to Develop a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan."
2. Watch the on-line tutorial and/or view the self-certification template.
3. If the SPCC regulations do not apply to you, document your exemption, printout the documentation, and keep it on file. If there are other key contacts at your farm, make sure they are aware of this as well.
4. If you can self-certify using the template, do so and make sure your plan is fully implemented. Again, keep a copy of the completed and signed template in your files and make it available to key personnel so they can present it in the event of an inspection by a state or federal regulator.
5. If you cannot self-certify and you need a professional engineer to certify your plan, you can contact our office for a cost to develop and certify your plan. You can contact either Christopher Paré (email@example.com) or Matthew Schroeder, P.E. (firstname.lastname@example.com) at 248-932-0228 for more information.
As compliance/implementation may involve some capital improvements, it would be prudent to evaluate your applicability as soon as possible. If you wait until the fall of 2011 to prepare and implement your SPCC plan, you may risk missing the deadline.

The musings of a public relations professional (APR, Fellow PRSA) now a public relations professor on the state of the profession, higher education, and probably everything in between.
Sunday, November 7, 2010
Your Career and You: "Why Are You Here?"
I came up to Massachusetts in the late 70s as a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed Public Affairs intern slated to step in as Public Affairs Officer for the US Army Intelligence School, Devens.
I was at the tail end of an 18-month internship and had been through the gamut of training including the Defense Information School and a three-month assignment at Ft. Lewis, Washington. This was on top of my previous eight years in the Air Force with varying assignments and duties around the US as well as Asia.
Knew what I was doing and going to do...or so I thought!
Then I walked into the School Commander's office for my introductory interview.
The way this was going to play out (in my mind) was that he was going to welcome me, ask about my background, commend me on a decent stint in the Air Force, and send me along to do my job.
Not exactly the way it went.
I walked in, introduced myself and, after being invited to do so, sat down. He looked at me over the top of his glasses and along the length of his mile-long cigar, and asked one question: "Why are you here?"
Fortunately, I had arrived a couple of days before with my wife to check out the area and figure out where we were going to live. I also had some time to visit Ayer, the town adjacent to Ft. Devens, and chat with a few business owners along the main street. Got some interesting insights.
Back to the question at hand.
I looked the colonel in the eye and said, "Sir, I have had a chance to talk to some of the folks in downtown Ayer...our neighbors...and they don't seem to know who we are or what we're doing here. You have an image problem that I believe I can help fix."
Cut to the dramatic sunset and romantic music in the background...I spent the next three and a half years rebuilding our public relations program basically from the ground up.
Left with the School actively involved in post-wide activities, holding open houses that allowed our neighboring communities a glimpse at what we were doing behind the barbed wire and frosted windows, and getting regular, positive coverage in local, regional, national and international publications.
But it all started with my doing my homework. My rationale was, if I didn't know what this organization was all about and I was going to be the chief PR guy, what did our publics know?
Any time you have a reason to meet with someone, whether it be for an informational interview, an internship interview, or a job interview... do your homework.
Find out as much as you can about the organization itself and the key players within the organization. Find out what the public thinks about the organization. Find out who the competition is. And prepare your questions...write them out and refer to them during your meeting.
Because, even if the question isn't asked openly, it's sitting there beside you during your meeting, eating grapes and spitting the seeds on the floor.
"Why are you here?"
Show that you're curious...that you like having control of the facts in a situation. Even if it's an informational interview and you're really not interested in working at this particular organization, show your research skills.
Be able to at least ask a question about a recent news item mentioning the organization or about a product that catches your attention during your research.
Why? Because you will make an impression. You will leave your interviewer with the perception that you have the makings of a professional...you know how to do your homework.
Why is that important? Because this individual just might either have an idea of a job you could apply for or might, at some point, have a conversation with a colleague who is looking for someone with your general qualifications.
Which would you rather have said?
To you: "Gee, I really don't know of anyone who's looking for someone like you."
Or to a colleague: "You know. I met a young person the other day who had really done his(her) homework before our meeting and was asking some very insightful questions. Might be worth your talking to him(her). I know I was impressed."
Do your homework. Be ready to answer the unasked question: "Why are you here?"
"Every why hath a wherefore."

Thanks for the tip! I think it's really important that candidates show how they can value-add to the company during the interview. Now, I'm going to focus doing homework on selected companies rather than casting my net too wide!ReplyDelete
Glad to know it was of use! Good luck on your focused job search, and keep us posted on your progress!!ReplyDelete
