Using the equity in your home can be a great way to finish projects or consolidate debt. There are two ways you can leverage the equity in your home:
A HELOC is a line of credit that is secured by the equity in your home. You only make payments based on the amount you draw. As you pay the balance down, you have access to borrow against it again.
This option is ideal to manage ongoing expenses, such as:
HELOCs feature:
A Home Equity Loan is a lump sum of funds that can be used one time. Like a car loan, you finance a set amount of money and pay it off monthly. Once the loan is paid off, it is closed.
This option is ideal if you're managing a single large expense, such as:

Only yesterday, I was driving home looking at the bus stop posters for Terminator Salvation, remembering a nightmare I had about my Furby many years ago:
It couldn't be bargained with. It couldn't be reasoned with. It didn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely would not stop, ever, until I was dead.

Look, the Rangers knew coming into this season that there were some "ifs."
They knew that for things to turn right in the wake of losing No. 1 center Derek Stepan, long-time defenseman Dan Girardi — both of them alternate captains and team leaders – and to a lesser degree Oscar Lindberg and Kevin Klein, other players were going to have to shoulder more responsibility.
Among those, certainly, were young veterans who would now become the core – Chris Kreider, J.T. Miller, and especially Mika Zibanejad.
Also among those were a pair of sophomores who were largely responsible for the Rangers' 4-2 win over Boston Wednesday at The Garden, stretching the team's winning streak to five games.
Could Pavel Buchnevich and/or Jimmy Vesey avoid the "sophomore slump?"
Well, Buchnevich, a year smarter, certainly stronger after battling back issues, and more comfortable and confident, appears to be at the brink of being a legit offensive force in the league. A player the Rangers believed was the top prospect in the organization before he arrived in North America is showing the hand skills, the offensive instincts, and the deceptive speed the Blueshirts had hoped for and imagined he would display in the NHL.
Like most young offensive players, both Buchnevich and Vesey have spent time on the fourth line, with limited minutes, and at times in Vesey's case, stapled to the bench late in games.
[Watch Saturday's Rangers-Oilers Game on MSG and Download Free on MSG GO]
It's an observe-and-learn process that some call "tough love," and others (fans mostly, and mostly incorrectly) think is a dislike or a distrust. But there's nothing like a young player being taught things in practice sessions and through video and coaching, then being acclimated into actual game situations slowly.
Miller went through it, Kreider went through it. Most do. Sometimes, it takes a return to the minors (as it did with Miller and Kreider). Rare is the athlete that comes out of the minors or out of college, even out of Europe and immediately succeeds in a permanent top-six role.
Buchnevich, who came here speaking almost no English, then hit with the back issues in his rookie season, appears to have sponged up all that his coaches and teammates have offered. He has earned their trust with better decisions, better defensive-zone plays and puck management, and now can flourish offensively with a bigger role and more minutes.
Against Boston, Buchnevich roasted former star defenseman Zdeno Chara with a shake-and-bake, took the puck to his backhand, then roofed a fore-hander up under the crossbar. Pure eye-popping brilliance.
He has scored goals in five of his last seven games (6-3-9 in that stretch), and has been a big reason for the teams power-play rise toward the top of the league, not to mention the improved play of linemates Kreider and Zibanejad.
Buchnevich's sudden rise in the lineup meant a fall for Vesey, who is a very different, but nevertheless skilled, player. Vesey is a power forward, meaning more straight lines than dipsy-doodle, more bang-in and tap-in goals created by his willingness to battle for pucks around the net and in other areas of the ice.
Vesey's game is built for the playoffs, as he showed in his first Stanley Cup tournament go-round last spring.
On Wednesday, he scored a pair of goals 29 seconds apart – two goals that combined, probably didn't travel 10 feet – that were the difference in the game.
He was the first Ranger since Jaromir Jagr in 2006 to score twice that quickly (Jagr did it in 26 seconds).
"Right in front of the net," Vesey said. "I've been trying to have good habits in my game — finishing checks, stopping in front of the net and I had two pucks just land there for me. But I'll take them."
There's a skill to that, too: to getting to that area of the ice, staying there, and then cashing in when the puck arrives.
Assessing Vesey's game overall, Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said, "I think we have to be careful. Maybe he wasn't finishing on a lot, but Jimmy was working hard and, like you saw tonight early on, before he scored the goals, he made a couple real strong plays along the wall in our end that permitted us to get the puck out.
[Watch Saturday's Rangers-Oilers Game on MSG and Download Free on MSG GO]
"So there's more than just finishing – there's a complete 200-foot game and tonight, the positive thing and the confidence-builder for him is he was able to finish on a couple of those and he went to the tough areas. So that's definitely, as far as finishing and contributing, that's a real positive step for him."
And perhaps Vesey is yet another Rangers forward, joining a long list, who have turned the corner on this season.

Well isn't this song just dandy. And not in a sarcastic way either! POT have released the full music video to "Don't Be Shy," which is another single from their 1st full length album, "ARCO IRIS."
The song as always, is just so awesome. POT haven't done me wrong with any song yet.
There's a nice plot too! There's a guy who works in a grocery store, and he messes up in front of the girl he has a crush on, and eventually builds up the courage to begin taking up music and being more assertive in his life. It's really nice.
Watch the music video here:

10 Reasons You Need To Get A Dog
Nov 20, 2016 06:19PM
By Caitlyn Leary
1. Dogs increase your mood and reduce stress.
Spending time with your dog can make you more relaxed and calm. Dopamine and serotonin levels increase when you play with your puppy.
2. Dogs make you laugh.
My dog is constantly making me laugh whether it be her chasing her tail or by running back and forth for ten minutes chasing a toy, by herself. Dogs are the best entertainment.
3. Dogs make you feel loved.
At the end of a long day of school or work, or both, there is nothing like getting greeted at the front door with 100 kisses. It instantly puts a huge smile on your face.
4. Dogs are loyal.
Dogs evolved from wolves, and wolves have strong bonds with their pack members. Dogs see their human owners as part of their pack, and will protect them to the end.
5. Puppy kisses are the best kisses.
Are you feeling sad? Puppy kisses will fix it. Angry? Puppy kisses will fix it. Happy? Still, puppy kisses will make you feel even happier.
6. You will never feel alone.
Most dogs no matter how small or big they are, will always want to cuddle with you. They will not leave you alone no matter how hard you try. They will never leave you alone, but when they do, you will feel like something is missing.
7. You will always have a personal body guard.
No matter how small or big your dog is, s/he will not let a single person get too close to you. You are theirs, and they will protect you till the end.
8. The head tilt.
There is nothing cuter than a confused face on a puppy, with a head tilt. Nothing.
9. They have their priorities set straight.
Sleep over everything. Can I get an AMEN on that?
10. Your dog is your own personal dishwasher.
Anything that falls under the table, don't fret, your dog will completely clean that up for you. No questions asked.

Pitch Perfect Singing
It was an absolute privilege for Music Scholar, Joshua Dodding, to be invited to sing yesterday at the International U18 England vs Scotland fixture at Preston Grasshoppers.
Although it was his first outdoor performance, he was both natural and accomplished as he delivered pitch perfect renditions of 'Jerusalem' and both National Anthems to a packed ground of around 2000 people. The audience stilled to listen to him and many spectators subsequently commented on his outstanding performance; he was the perfect precursor to an impressive England win!

Here at Shoot! we endeavour to keep a watchful eye over the emerging talents in world football and keep you in the know in terms of who you should be watching out for in the years to come.
Despite Arsenal suffering what some pundits are describing as a 'crisis', following their 4-0 thrashing at Anfield to the hands of Liverpool at the weekend, The Gunners' youth academy could provide optimism for the near future – especially given the talents of Reiss Nelson.
The 17-year-old is highly-rated by manager Arsene Wenger, hence why the Frenchman handed the teenager his first-team debut against defending Premier League champions Chelsea in the 2017 FA Community Shield tie in early-August, replacing forward Danny Welbeck late on.
The attacking midfielder played 35 times for Arsenal youth teams last season, including nine appearances at Under-21 level, impressing coaches by consistently playing above his age group.
Becoming a key player for The Gunners in the FA Youth Cup and the UEFA Youth League last term, Nelson is a skillful attack-minded midfielder who possesses blistering pace, an eye for goal, dazzling dribbling ability and superb close control.
As well as being admired at club level; having joined the North London back in May 2008, when he was just eight-years-old, Nelson is a England youth international, having played 10 times for the Under-17 side, plus three outings for the Under-18s.
After signing his first professional contract on his 17th birthday back in December 2016, Nelson is already knocking on the door in regards to Wenger's first-team ranks after impressing during Arsenal's 2017-18 pre-season tour.
The Gunners' No.61 featured against Sydney FC in Australia during his team's first pre-season friendly, then came on against Western Sydney Wanderers, before coming off the bench again in Shanghai to show his worth against Bundesliga giants FC Bayern Munich.
Another appearance against Chelsea in pre-season, plus a run out during the Emirates Cup fixture versus Benfica (above), showed Nelson was capable of strutting his stuff in the senior ranks, with Arsenal fans taking to Twitter to publicise their excitement and expectation of the talented teen in the years ahead.
Given The Gunners' lack of cutting edge and creativity from the centre of the park currently, underfire boss Wenger may have nothing to lose by introducing Nelson to the Premier League, especially given the fact he has already scored five times in just three Premier League 2 games this season – netting braces against Derby County and Manchester City respectively at Under-23 level.

Cadbury faces backlash for new chocolate bar meant to promote diversity: 'Congratulations to Cadbury for solving racism'
Cadbury U.K., along with the advertising agency Ogilvy, launched a limited-edition chocolate bar called the Unity Bar on August 15 to celebrate India's Independence Day. The bar features four types of chocolate – dark, blended, milk and white – and was meant to symbolize India standing "united in its diversity." However, some social media users think the confection missed the mark.
In 1947, India gained independence from the United Kingdom, and Cadbury launched the new bar to help commemorate the 72nd anniversary.
"India is a diverse country, with people of different castes, creed, languages, regions, religions. Everyone living together, but not always with love," Ogilvy, the global advertising agency, shared on their website. "Cadbury Dairy Milk, which is loved by everyone, wanted to send a powerful message of unity. So we worked with the brand to create the Unity Bar: India's first chocolate made of dark, blended, milk and white chocolate—all united in one bar."
Title: Unity Bar
Client: Cadbury
Team: @Ogilvy_India
To celebrate India's diverse population, Cadbury and our team in Mumbai created a chocolate made of dark, blended, milk and white chocolate - all united in one bar.

— Ogilvy (@Ogilvy) August 20, 2019
The limited-edition chocolate bar was shared on Cadbury's social media and in one of India's major newspapers, The Economic Times.
The ad drew praise for its inclusivity; despite Hindi being the most common language typically used by brands in the country that has 22 official languages, the front-page ad used different languages in different areas for their headline, which read "Sweet things happen when we unite."
However, the ad uses a Kannada headline in the Mumbai edition, a Telugu headline in the Delhi edition, and a Marathi headline in the Bengaluru edition—not the official languages of these areas —which lead some to believe that the chocolate bar missed its mark.
Whoa!! Well done, Cadbury's (and Ogilvy), using a Kannada headline in the Mumbai edition, Telugu headline in the Delhi edition and a Marathi headline in the Bengaluru edition. Point made beautifully! Lovely idea that turns our usual Hindi-centric advertising on its head :) pic.twitter.com/XXXCdlcskG

Still, many were less than convinced that a candy bar could end racism.

— awesomeSauce 🤙 (@UnkleMikey713) August 29, 2019
Others, however, have come to the defense of Cadbury, and acknowledge that the chocolate bar was not meant to end racism in the world entirely or erase the transgenerational trauma of India's caste system.
People are going off on this and not even reading it the article and what it's addressing https://t.co/U1o5ubrfyV
— ella (@EllaDecember) August 29, 2019
Obviously the caste system isn't going to be dismantled through chocolate lol but it's something operating in a social-political context that has zero to do with most of us, so everyone relax...
— Rubicon Guava 🏳🌈 (@jasebyjason) August 29, 2019
I can't believe people are feeling some kinda way over a CANDY BAR that's trying to promote unity in India. Has humanity sunk that low to nitpick at something that should be minuscule on your list of things to be worrying about? #Cadbury #cadburyunitybar
— 🌙 (@itzdeanqelo) August 29, 2019
While the message may not have inspired some, it has united others on their distaste for white chocolate.
The unity comes from finding someone to eat the crappy chocolate you don't like (for me, that's the white chocolate, yech.)
— 1ps (@tweet1hz) August 29, 2019
Yea but white chocolate yuck.
— Steve Lubot (@fenwaysteve) August 29, 2019
This checks out because everyone knows white chocolate is the worst.

Evaluation of the Duration of Therapy for Thrombosis in Children
Brief description of study
The Kids-DOTT trial is a randomized controlled clinical trial whose primary objective is to evaluate non-inferiority of shortened-duration (6 weeks) versus conventional-duration (3 months) anticoagulation in children with first-episode acute venous thrombosis. The first stage of the trial has consisted of a pilot/feasibility component, which then continues as the definitively-powered trial.
Detailed Study Description
Children (birth to 21 years of age, inclusive) with first-episode venous thrombosis in association with a reversible clinical trigger (key exclusions: history of cancer; severe thrombophilia state disclosed) are enrolled and prescribed anticoagulation according to the clinical standard of care and American College of Physicians (Chest journal) 2012 recommendations. At the 6 week (post-diagnosis) follow-up visit, repeat radiologic imaging is performed to determine residual thrombus burden and its degree of occlusion. In addition, those subjects with antiphospholipid antibodies (APA) disclosed at enrollment will undergo repeat APA testing.
Patients with residual occlusive thrombosis or persistent APA are excluded from randomization, and followed on parallel cohort arms (observational), with conventional anticoagulation durations. All other patients are randomized to a total anticoagulant duration of 6 weeks versus 3 months. Children are followed for primary efficacy endpoints of symptomatic recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) and primary safety endpoints of clinically-relevant bleeding (major plus clinically-relevant non-major, as per International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis Scientific and Standardization Committee [Journal of Thrombosis & Haemostasis] 2012 definitions/recommendations).
Children are followed through 2 years (with primary endpoint at 1 year). Those with deep venous thromboses affecting venous return from the limbs also undergo standardized post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) outcome assessment using the Manco-Johnson pediatric PTS instrument.
The non-inferiority analysis uses a bivariate endpoint approach, modeling the inherent clinical trade-off between the risks of recurrent VTE and bleeding. The trial will enroll 750 children across 40 participating centers, and allows for a 25% rate of exclusion from the per-protocol population due to randomization non-eligibility (i.e. parallel cohort), withdrawal/loss to follow-up, and protocol non-adherence.
A sub-study, completed in late 2013, used investigational dalteparin in lieu of formulary low molecular weight heparin (typically enoxaparin) in those children who were clinically prescribed a low molecular weight heparin for sub-acute anticoagulation. The goal of this sub-study was to report dose-finding and outcomes data in children treated with dalteparin for VTE. Outcomes in these patients were qualitatively compared with those of patients who received enoxaparin, warfarin, or other anticoagulants for sub-acute anticoagulation. This portion of the study was an industry-sponsored investigator-initiated sub-study with an investigator-held IND. Since the closure of the sub-study, the overall Kids-DOTT study is no longer conducted under an Investigational New Drug (IND) application.
Principal aims and hypotheses:
Specific Aim #1: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of shortened-duration (6 weeks total) versus conventional-duration (3 months total) anticoagulation for first-episode, provoked, acute venous thrombosis among children in whom thrombus resolution/non-occlusion (i.e. established blood flow) is evident after the initial 6 weeks of anticoagulant therapy
Hypothesis: Among children with first-episode, provoked, acute venous thrombosis in whom thrombosis is resolved or non-occlusive at six weeks follow-up, a shortened duration of anticoagulation (total six weeks; i.e. no further therapy) is non-inferior in efficacy to the conventional duration (total three months) of anticoagulation with respect to the risk of symptomatic recurrent VTE at 1 year, and is superior in safety with respect to the risk of clinically-relevant bleeding.(The hypothesis will also be tested in secondary analysis at 2 years, using the same efficacy and safety outcomes as for the 1 year primary analysis.)
Specific Aim #2: To determine whether outcomes of first-episode, provoked, acute venous thrombosis (specifically, with respect to recurrent VTE and PTS) among children treated with conventional-duration (3 months total) anticoagulation differ between those with and without thrombus resolution/non-occlusion at 6 weeks.
Hypothesis: Among children with first-episode, provoked, acute venous thrombosis treated with conventional-duration (3 months total) anticoagulation, the cumulative incidences of recurrent VTE and PTS are significantly lower among those in whom thrombus resolution/non-occlusion was, versus was not, evident after the initial 6 weeks of anticoagulant therapy.
Specific Aim #3: To evaluate whether the effect of treatment duration on the risks of symptomatic recurrent VTE and clinically-relevant bleeding in children with first-episode, provoked, acute venous thrombosis differs between subgroups defined by type of sub-acute anticoagulant therapy in real-world clinical use (all prescribed clinically, with the exception of investigational dalteparin, which was prescribed under an investigator-held IND through December 2013).
Hypothesis: Among children with first-episode, provoked, acute venous thrombosis, the effect of treatment duration on the risks of symptomatic recurrent VTE and clinically-relevant bleeding does not differ among subgroups treated sub-acutely with enoxaparin, dalteparin, fondaparinux, warfarin, oral direct factor Xa inhibitors, or oral direct thrombin inhibitors inhibitors.
Specific Aim #4: To establish a clinical trial-derived plasma and nucleic acids biorepository for future proteomic, genomic, and metabolomic investigations of predictors and modulators of VTE outcomes in children.
Exploratory Aim: To investigate whether duration of anticoagulation (over the range of 3 months to indefinite duration, as determined clinically in routine care) on influences the risks of symptomatic recurrent VTE and clinically-relevant bleeding among children with first-episode, provoked, acute venous thrombosis in whom persistent antiphospholipid antibody positivity is evident at 6 and 12 weeks post-diagnosis.
Exploratory Hypothesis: Among children with first-episode, provoked, acute venous thrombosis in whom persistent antiphospholipid antibody positivity is evident at 6 and 12 weeks post-diagnosis, duration of anticoagulant therapy is not a predictor of symptomatic recurrent VTE but is directly related to the risk of clinically-relevant bleeding..

Licensed Professional Counselor, Mental Health Service Provider, Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist and Supervisor, Founder and Owner of Healing Hearts Counseling
Specialties include (but not limited to) Childhood and attachment trauma in intimate relationships, infidelity, high conflict in intimate relationships, LGBTQ.
Hi there, my name is Dana Vince. I am the owner and founder of Healing Hearts Counseling and I'd like to share a little about myself and my journey of building this practice. I grew up on Long Island in New York. After serving in the United States Army for 4 years, I moved to Tampa, Florida where I earned my masters degree in Counseling. It was in Florida in 2006 that I started Healing Hearts Counseling. I knew from a very young age that I wanted to work with couples. I saw in my own life how people who love each other end up hurting each other and I wanted to understand this better and help people learn to love one another well. I wanted to learn how to help people heal their wounded places. I have always had a soft place in my heart for others' pain. I wanted to understand more about how this love thing works and why it's so hard. It has become my life's work to counsel couples and families on how to communicate in ways that nurture one another and form deeper bonds in their relationships. It is important to me to provide a safe and confidential environment where couples and families can talk about the difficult and sometimes painful issues that are causing problems in their lives.
I had my degree and got the appropriate ongoing training to become a couples counselor, but the ones who have given me the most valuable education have been all the couples I have worked with over the years. I never take for granted the trust others place in me to walk their journey with them. I moved to Knoxville in 2010 and it was at that time that I began training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. That brought a whole new level of understanding and useable tools that I began to implement in my practice. And while I knew the research behind this method was strong, nothing compared to seeing with my own eyes the incredible healing impact this type of therapy had on the couples I was working with and in my own relationships. So I continued my training and efforts to master this model of therapy and in 2012 I became an EFT supervisor and started training other therapists.
It was at this time that my practice had grown beyond my capacity. Being only one person with only so many hours in the day, I had to start turning people away. It tore me up inside to turn people away who were reaching out for help, especially knowing I had such a powerful and effective way to help people get out of pain and distress. So I began hiring and training clinicians to be a part of my practice to see the clients I couldn't see. This gave me great peace of mind because I could help more people and I knew they were getting the same quality care that I myself aim to provide through trusted colleagues working with me using the same effective model of couples therapy.
As the practice began to grow, it soon became overwhelming to continue to run the practice, teach and train therapists and still do the work I love and find most fulfilling, spending time with and helping individuals and couples heal.
In 2019 I brought on Adam York as my partner. When I met Adam I quickly saw why he had the reputation in Knoxville he had as an incredible helping professional. I got to know Adam well by supervising him in his learning of the Emotionally Focused Therapy model. An already highly educated and experienced therapist, I had urged Adam to go to the training for EFT knowing it would be a great fit and that it would transform the amazing work he was already doing. As I sat and watched his therapy tapes with him, I got to observe what an incredibly compassionate and gifted therapist he is. In doing other projects with Adam, I also got to observe that Adam is a really hard worker with strong ethics and integrity and is a natural leader. With his shared values and vision for how to serve couples and the Knoxville community, I knew he was the perfect fit for what I was looking for in a partner.
Now together, we continue to grow our team of incredibly compassionate therapists who share our passion for helping couples and families and are eager to learn and serve alongside of us. We personally pick and train each therapist that comes into this practice. It is of utmost importance to me that our clinicians share our vision and uphold our values of helping individuals and couples heal and find the connection and joy with one another that they long for.
Adam York, M.A.
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist, Co-owner of Healing Hearts Counseling
Adam York, M.A.
Specialties include (but not limited to) Chrisitan counseling, infidelity, men's issues, sex/porn addiction
Hi, my name is Adam York and I am the co-owner of Healing Hearts Counseling. I graduated from Johnson University with my Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and Professional Counseling, and I am currently pursuing my doctorate with the University of Tennessee.
My life's work is to help people connect. In addition to my work in private practice, I work as the clinical director for Healthy Connections trying to strengthen relationships all over Knoxville through workshops, mentoring, and supervision. In addition to working with couples, I enjoy supervising therapists seeking to work with individuals, couples, and families. I primarily work from the perspective of emotionally focused therapy, believing that emotion drives the dance between partners, and that we all crave connection and fear isolation.
I have felt the deep confusion that occurs from the pain caused by those closest to us and the deep healing that occurs in the presence of a loving and nurturing relationship. I am passionate to help couples connect, whether they are fighting everyday or struggling to talk about small things. I started to hear about Dana Vince a few years back through therapists and clients of hers. Time and time again, I heard stories of dramatic reconciliation and renewed romance in couples who many other therapists might have written off as hopeless. I continued to hear stories from both men and women of Dana really understanding them and their relationship better than anyone ever had. I reached out to consult with her and quickly discovered that she has a relentless passion for couples and for helping therapists serve them well. I had read about emotionally focused therapy in graduate school, but had not pursued advanced training until Dana had recommended it. I have been supervised or received training from some of the most prominent national leaders in couples therapy and quickly realized that right in our backyard in Knoxville, we had a therapist with every bit as keen an insight into couples relationships as I had ever experienced. She understands couples better than they understand themselves, and more importantly she deeply cares about their relationship and them as people. She is widely known as the most gifted couples therapist in town, and when she asked me to partner with her in practice, I was incredibly flattered and overjoyed at the possibility of creating a space where couples relationships are given new life. I am so excited to join with Dana and the family at Healing Hearts Counseling to help the dream that couples imagine on their wedding day to become the reality that they get to live with every day.
My wife and I have been married since 2006, and we have two boys that we adopted from birth in 2011 and 2016. Do not be surprised if you bump into me and my wife at a sports match or movie with my older son, and if you see a small child shooting basketball for an hour or more, that is my younger son, and he will not talk to you much because he is really focused on his craft. When not with our kids, my wife and I enjoy playing strategic board games, working out, and traveling whenever we can.
AMANDA MCCUNE, Psy.D.
Licensed Psychologist and Health Service Provider, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist
AMANDA MCCUNE, Psy.D.
Specialities include (but not limited to): marital conflict, grief, prenatal and postpartum distress.
I am a licensed psychologist practicing within the Knoxville, TN community. While I will always remain a Midwesterner at heart, I first fell in love with the charm of Tennessee while studying Psychology at Vanderbilt University. In 2016, I obtained a doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Adler University. Both the South and Midwest share the values of family and a sense of community, which are important to me. It is an honor to support individuals and couples navigating life's challenges.
After experiencing the devastation and ripple effect of loss, I knew that my life's passion was to help others feel connected and whole once again. In working with me you will come to find that empathy, compassion, and care are the cornerstones of who I am as a therapist and as a person. I am truly dedicated to helping my clients heal past and present wounds and live the life they desire and deserve. Being a licensed psychologist at Healing Hearts Counseling allows me to work alongside and consult with relationship experts whom I respect tremendously and continue to hone specialization in relationship concerns, grief, trauma, and infertility.
While each couple comes through our doors with a unique set of experiences and perspectives, they are not alone in the struggles they face to feel more connected or heard by their partner. You might find yourself in a rut exhausted by engaging in the same argument over and over again or feel misunderstood as if you and your partner are speaking a different language. It is common to respond by either pulling away to avoid conflict and keep the peace or react by lashing out in frustration deep down wanting to know if your partner still cares. These negative relationship patterns can lead to feelings of disconnection and may take a toll on your partnership and happiness. I assist couples by helping them to better understand this cycle and team up against the pattern versus blaming one another. I also provide safety to be more vulnerable with your partner in a way that they can hear, understand, and receive. Ultimately, our goal is to re-build safety, intimacy, connection, and fulfillment together.
As an individual facing loss, divorce, trauma, or infertility it may feel that the world as you know it has been shattered with no roadmap to guide you in moving forward. Those around you may not know what to say or how to best support you. I am here to bear witness to your pain and help you to feel more understood and less alone. I assist clients in making meaning of experiences, reconstructing their vision of the future, relinquishing feelings of guilt and shame.
If you have come to our site you are making a brave step towards change and I look forward to taking the first step with you!

It really hurts when you and your partner can't seem to get through to one another. You may feel like you are having the same conversation over and over again without getting anywhere, or that it's gotten so hard to talk that it feels easier not to talk at all. You are not alone. No matter how much two people love and care for each other, they can still find themselves in that painful, stuck place.
We are at our most vulnerable when in love. When something is that important to us, there's a lot at risk. That vulnerability is what makes it so easy for partners to rub each other's raw emotional spots, but that same vulnerability is also the pathway to deeper connection. I've witnessed the power of what can happen when a couple has a safe place to talk about the hard stuff. It is my goal to create that safe space and I consider it to be such a privilege and joy to work with couples who want to restore and deepen their bond.
The approach I use to help couples is called Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). My journey to working with couples began in 2014, working with the University of Tennessee Psychology Department's Relationship Rx program as a Relationship Health Consultant. Despite seeing couples facing incredibly difficult challenges, I left that experience believing more than ever in the importance of relationships and in the capacity for healing within them. When I discovered EFT later, I quickly came to appreciate how it harnesses the incredible power of new emotional experiences to create lasting change. Since that time, I have completed an Externship in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), and I am working toward becoming certified in EFT, under the supervision of Healing Hearts Counseling owner Dana Vince. It is an honor to work with Dana and Adam York and the rest of the Healing Hearts team. Being part of a team focused on the same mission of helping couples allows us to learn from and with one another, grow together, support one another and be greater than any of us could ever be alone. I hope the people we serve will feel that energy and that this place I love so much can be special for them too.
I earned both a Master of Social Work degree (2013) and a Doctor of Social Work degree (2018) from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Additional previous experience includes outpatient therapy at community mental health agencies and a university counseling center, working for mental health crisis response teams, and teaching Human Behavior in the Social Environment as adjunct faculty at the University of Tennessee College of Social Work. Beyond that, I am passionate about being a lifelong learner and exploring new ideas, the power of music to bring people together and make us feel, cheering on the Vols, and pizza.

Amanda McEntee, M.A.
Specialties include (but not limited to): premarital counseling, empty nesters, and women's issues.
Before I introduce myself, I want to say hello and tell you how proud I am that you are actively seeking help for either yourself or your relationship. It's not easy to admit there is a problem and it's even harder to take that first step in trying to make things better. Finding a therapist can be a daunting task. I know because I have done it myself and it's so hard to choose the right person! Please know that you aren't alone even in the searching process. I am here if you have questions or need to talk through anything.
Now to me. 🙂 My name is Mandi and I am a provisionally licensed professional counselor. I grew up in a small town in Tennessee just outside of Knoxville with two older brothers who taught me love, a mother who fought for me to have better, and a father who taught me compassion and sacrifice. I was lucky to have a relationship with both of my parents even though they divorced when I was young. I know what it feels like to have a split family. I watched my parents hurt as they struggled to try and make it work, and it's a big reason why I feel so connected to relationship work. I often wonder what could have been if only they knew how to communicate in a way that brings closeness instead of creating more distance. I realized years ago that no one teaches us how to make it work with another person. Schools don't teach it and parents either hide fighting or fight out in the open. I won't even get into what movies and books teach us about love… Disney and 90s romcoms am I right? Helping other families like you learn what it takes and avoid the heartache of separation is a true passion of mine directly because of my own experiences.
I knew early in my educational experience that I wanted to specialize in couples and families, and I worked non-stop to set myself up to do exactly that. I completed my training for Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy before graduating with my master's degree in counseling and contacted Dana immediately so I could continue to learn and grow. I believe in EFT with every fiber of my being. I have seen the power it has in helping couples find a deeper, more connected love. I have witnessed partners struggling with infidelity find understanding, forgiveness, and re-connection. I have even had couples tell me how it's helping them communicate with their children or other family members. It has been the greatest joy and privilege to find EFT and help families with it. I have a true soft spot for those who love each other fiercely, but just don't know how to make it work. On the flip side I also have a passion for helping those struggling with grief and loss. To lose any connection that matters is a singular kind of pain that sometimes takes a lifetime to learn to live with. I also truly enjoy working with couples who are early in their relationship or considering marriage. I believe in the power of being proactive and learning how to stop negative cycles before they even get started. This will set you up for a secure relationship that lasts a lifetime. No one enters a relationship or says vows intending to break them. It's learning how to keep them that makes all the difference in the world.
In my spare time I love chilling at home with my husband and our two furbabies, Cash and Luna. You can often find us enjoying long walks with Cash, watching the Memphis Grizzlies grit and grind, wearing orange on Saturdays, or watching our favorite streamers play Call of Duty on Twitch (enter nerd emoji here).
Amanda Loven, M.A.
Specialties include (but not limited to): Sexual health, sexual intimacy issues, sexual trauma and attachment wounds, marital conflict.
Hello! My name is Amanda Loven, and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work systemically with individuals, couples, and full families to obtain the goals of each client. Did you know that your past attachment history can influence your current relationships? Finding these wounds can help in the success of connecting intimacy to your partner, and vice versa. I am passionate about working with couples and their struggles with sexual intimacy, sexual health, connecting through intimacy, and regaining connection through vulnerability.
I decided to become a therapist several years ago when I was a camp counselor for high school students. Discovering the brokenness that stemmed from sexual trauma (i.e. attachment injuries) with these young women pushed me to change my career path to psychology. After I graduated, I craved more knowledge of the field and decided to enroll in the graduate program at Lee University. Here, I learned of the wonderful world of Emotionally Focused Therapy and began to practice this in my therapy sessions with couples and families.
My favorite aspect of Emotionally Focused Therapy is the research and science that backs up this theory that change begins with vulnerability and connecting through emotion. With such a high rate of change and success in relationships, how could I not be drawn to learn more? I have been blessed with the opportunity to join the team at Healing Hearts Counseling, where Emotionally Focused Therapy thrives!
My goal is to bring a non-judgmental stance to the therapy room. I want my clients to feel safe while they invite me to be in the passenger seat along next to them.
Lucas Elmore, M.S.
Specialities include (but not limited to): marital conflict, grief and bereavement, and LGBTQ.
As a marriage and family therapist, I truly believe everything someone does makes sense in context. The thoughts one thinks, the emotions one feels, and the actions one takes are legitimate. How do we make sense of our own thoughts, feelings, and actions as well as those of our partners? My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, open space for couples to explore their own vulnerabilities both as individuals and as partners. Through vulnerability, love and connection can be lasting.
One area I feel called to is working with the bereaved. Death and loss scrambles our world in such an unpredictable and difficult way, and we are never truly prepared as humans to deal with loss. I have experienced the impacts of great loss in my own life and have been able to witness just how much it affects couples, families and individuals.
I received my Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Valdosta State University. My interest in studying and becoming a therapist stems from my own compassion towards others and venturing through life's journey of love and loss. After living in Georgia my whole life, I began expanding my vision and started networking in Tennessee, where I ultimately discovered Healing Hearts Counseling. Instantly, I knew it was a good fit based on the practice's therapeutic orientation and genuine, welcoming atmosphere. Knowing that I am able to collaborate and grow with other clinicians who are just as passionate about this work is an enthralling opportunity.
I spend most of my spare time making music and immersing myself in the world of film. I am always seeking to connect and relate with others through the art of storytelling
Stephanie Perez, M.S.
I am originally from Florida but have called Knoxville home for 9 years. I attended the University of Florida where I received a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Business. I have a passion for helping others and am excited to be a part of the Healing Hearts team where I can connect partners with counseling experts. My husband and I have two wonderful sons together. I feel strongly about the process of therapy and the many benefits it provides both individuals and couples. I look forward to assisting you in scheduling an appointment with one of our therapists.

Event Date:
Wednesday, February 7, 2018 -
7:00pm to 9:00pm
Event Location:
Lory Student Center Theater, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523-1783

Noriega's lecture, "Destructivism and Hollywood's First Archive," will consider how three things came together in the first part of the 20th century: cinema as the first mass art form defining our public culture, new ideas about the home as a private electronic space, and a new kind of art that moved away from traditional medium-based art forms like painting and sculpture.

Organics processing procurement
Increasing the recovery of organic waste is one of four key strategic objectives set down in the Metropolitan Waste and Resource Recovery Implementation Plan.
To achieve this objective an organics processing network to divert Melbourne's organic waste from landfill has been developed through collective procurement contracts in the North West, South East and East.
Collective procurement for organic waste processing secures significant, aggregated waste volumes that encourages industry to invest in best practise processing facilities. This results in maximised economic outcomes as well as reduced environmental, community and public health impacts.
Melbourne's organics processing network provides organics processing facilities that will have the potential capacity by 2019 to divert over 520,000 tonnes a year of food and garden waste (from both household and commercial/industrial sources) from landfill.
The Back to Earth Initiative supports these new organics processing facilities by raising community understanding of council kerbside organic recycling.
North and West
The Northern and Western Organics Processing Contract involves 11 metropolitan councils: Banyule, Brimbank, Darebin, Hobsons Bay, Hume, Maribyrnong, Melton, Moonee Valley, Moreland, Nillumbik and Wyndham. Veolia Environmental Services has the contract to process organic waste collected from these council areas until 2028.
Veolia has constructed Victoria's largest and most technologically advanced organics composting facility at Bulla capable of processing 85,000 tonnes of organic waste a year. Another Veolia site at Werribee is being used as a green waste transfer station to process a further 35,000 tonnes of organic waste a year.
The North West contract has the capacity to process 120,000 tonnes of organic waste per annum.
South East
The South East Organics Processing Contract involves eight metropolitan councils: Bayside, Cardinia, Casey, Frankston, Glen Eira, Greater Dandenong, Kingston and Monash.
Three companies share the contract to process organic waste collected from these council areas until 2032. They are Cleanaway Pty Ltd, Veolia Environmental Services Pty Ltd and Sacyr Environment Australia Pty Ltd.
- Cleanaway has constructed a state-of-the-art transfer station at Ordish Road in Dandenong South. The facility shreds, consolidates and transfers material for off-site composting.
- Veolia operates an in-vessel processing facility at Ordish Road, Dandenong South.
- Sacyr has constructed a fully-enclosed, in-vessel aerobic composting and maturation facility in Villas Road, Dandenong South, capable of processing up to 120,000 tonnes of organic waste per annum. This facility moved from the commissioning phase to the operational phase in November 2019.
The South East collective contract has the capacity to process 280,000 tonnes of organic waste per annum.
The Eastern Organics Processing Contract provides for the receival and processing of organic waste from five eastern councils - Knox, Manningham, Maroondah, Whitehorse and Yarra Ranges.
- Contracts are finalised and operational for Knox and Whitehorse Councils with Van Schaik's Bio Gro. Bio Gro is receiving organics at its facility in Dandenong South.
- Contracts on behalf of Manningham, Maroondah and Yarra Ranges Councils are expected to become operational in 2019-20.
The combined contracts will have a processing capacity of up to 120,000 tonnes of organic waste each year.

Venezuelan Parliament Approves Crypto Bill
National Assembly of Venezuela has approved a regulatory bill on cryptocurrency dated 21 November.
The bill sets precedent to involvement of Petro, the controversial oil based cryptocurrency into the economic sphere.
This bill will allow Petro to be the trade integer for sale and purchase of gods and services in the economically crippled Venezuela.
This bill also allows foreign trade operations using Petro for exchanges, loosening the noose on inter-country trade.
Like Iran, Venezuela is also looking into any means necessary to bypass U.S. economic sanctions. The decentralized currency can help open trade channels with countries that are barred from trading in or with Venezuela or have restrictions in place.
With no banking structures in between, the trade channel is non-scrutinized and could be the only hope for the shut-out country.
Since the launch of Petro, Maduro is trying his best to create a framework to adopt this way-out for the country. As reported earlier by BlockPublisher, the following steps are being taken for the seamless entry of crypto into Venzuela.
● Promotion by PDVSA (Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A) and other public and joint ventures, as well as national public entities and regional and local governments.
● The payment of extraordinary labor commitments and benefits in Petro.
● Tax incentives for companies that incorporate the use of Petro in their commercial
'We have found the revolutionary formula that puts work as a centre for the general rebalancing of society, based on the production of goods and the remuneration of wages.' — President Maduro
Although Petro is not yet listed in any of the major currency exchange, times seem to be changing.
