Empowerment, Bullying & Other Stories
Every once in a while I share my thoughts on the online world and entourage here http://www.stylememaria.com/?cat=247 without expecting anyone to relate but it always surprises me how many of you tell me that speaking my mind offers you a voice through my platforms and for that I am appreciative. Today I am here to do it again after another round of taking a back seat to act as a spectator instead of someone immersed in the field. For it is by distance only that we get a clear vision and grasp an objective understanding of what is happening, and I make sure I never speak out of anger or irritation but take many steps back for many months before writing.
Let me start with something that many will find offensive but excuse me while I tell you how much the word "empowerment" is meaningless unless it is combined with actions. Can we all please stop using this buzzword just to be relevant and start changing the way we view ourselves and others? To all those shouting it on rooftops, when was the last time you helped another woman and when was the last time you bashed women you know or barely know behind their backs? Are you familiar with feminism and its literature and worldwide movements that have occurred to get to where we are today? Please stop hiding behind empowerment, posing in risqué ways and showing skin isn't what makes us empowered (though it is a right and a choice), not everything we do is linked to empowerment, and we don't need to make it clear every single time. It is what happens when you have a strong message of healing and acceptance to share with your friends or followers, it is when you recover from many failures and from people close to you telling you that you can't make it, it is when you truly listen to and push forward a woman who is struggling to love herself, it is when you accept your flaws and not allow society to dictate your being.
Then there is bashing everywhere which is a form of bullying. Women are bullied all the time, we are either too thin or too fat, too athletic or not working out enough, have had plastic surgery or need some Botox, care for ourselves or put our needs last. The list goes on but for the bully the target is always a woman who is trying hard to achieve something in this world. I have watched as women and mothers are being trolled and what makes it sadder is that the participants in these mass attacks are those who would show their adulation for those women when they see them in person or on social media. How quick people are to gang up on others without giving them the benefit of a doubt! Please don't let the online world suck you into this hate and envy, yes some "bought" their way to the top and are doing their own thing but others didn't and are building their audience steadily and you know what, we don't get to judge either one. Yes some are only about fashion but if you aren't about fashion it doesn't make you better than those who love to dress up. I say this with utmost objectiveness because in this case I am a self proclaimed lover of vintage and hippie street style but I am playing devil's advocate and seeing things from all sides. I would never criticize a woman who dresses up all the time, it isn't my right and I am not better than anyone just as no one out there is better than anyone.
If you thought cliques were over in middle school think again. Instagram takes this to a whole new level and only people who have mutual benefit from each other flock together. They want you to think that they are genuinely supporting each other but would they support others with good content? Never. It is a closed circle, a tit for tat, but little do they know that everyone is on to them but the rest of the entourage don't want in on it so it isn't as coveted as they like it to be. But these mega pages are losing on genuine content by beauty bloggers, fashionistas, artists and thinkers alike when they don't widen their circle. Not to mention that some of the equally large or smaller pages in terms of an audience make it a point to throw about the words "authentic" and "genuine" to describe profiles most people see as portraying an ideal life in lala land where no one is tired and no one works but life is a musical where a photographer is always with them and their hair, makeup and clothes are styled by a professional. Don't misunderstand me, I love these profiles as eye candy but I cringe when I see that other women especially mothers who are sharing true genuine content and their struggle balancing all aspects of their life are thrown on the sideline like an irrelevant bunch. And while I'm on this subject, it sickens me to see how people use each other and some would throw themselves at "instafamous" people just to be in their stories for a mere few seconds in hopes of gaining momentary recognition. I've had it done to me by people who would bash me the very next day then see me and be all smiles, and I have had some people warn me about many who do this but I never would have guessed it because you know what, I see the best in people. I have also seen it being done in front of my eyes with others and it is a horror to watch what society has come to. This has made me even more reclusive and a one woman show when it comes to my partnerships and content because flying solo doesn't mean you are weak, it means you are strong and confident enough in your own abilities to stand alone.
Speaking from firsthand experience I say that I also wish brands would be more professional with how they deal with influencers. Would you as a business ask for someone to advertise for free? Is an advertisement slot worth no money? Isn't this their source of income as well? How about (true story) asking someone to purchase items from your store and promote you? Umm, why would I do that? If I for example love your product, one which I bought and tried, then I would share it and recommend it because that's who I am, I give genuine opinions and support local businesses, but it doesn't give you the right to take online platforms lightly. Credibility and transparency are things that will never be shaken or compromised by me, but being taken for a fool is something that will never happen after all the trauma I have been through in this cut throat business where you can trust no one. Another issue I request is to respect people's time. When a meeting is scheduled and a woman/mother is taking precious time from her work or family to convene despite all storms, traffic jams and hectic errands, a certain unspoken code applies. If you don't want to proceed with the collaboration based on certain facts given during the meeting then it is your right but get your priorities straight on the phone or email ahead of time so that the meeting won't go to waste. And please don't use the "no budget" card when you clearly have a budget and when this could have been said before the meeting to save time for both parties. In addition to that I learned the hard way that many will seem serious and after the price has been negotiated and they ask you for a detailed and long term content plan and instantly boom! They choose not to follow through for no apparent reason which leads me to one conclusion, that they took your proposal to apply it on their own or with someone else while you sit like an idiot reflecting on the hours of work and effort you made for them and the fact that you are a "nice" person who didn't ask for payment upfront.
On another note, has anyone noticed how some online figures jump from brand to brand, restaurant to restaurant endorsing a new one daily? I don't mean foodies/beauty bloggers who give us genuine reviews of each place/product they try (which is what sharing is), but those with a large presence with all its implications, monetary and otherwise. Do I even trust you anymore now? No I'm sorry you lost your credibility when you endorsed two (or more) different places with the same exact item two days in a row on your Instagram feed which makes it even clearer for us that this is a business deal and not just coverage. Pace yourself and don't underestimate your audience's ability to smell something fishy. At least some bloggers (especially the ones that have been here for a long while and take the time to write reviews and explain in detail) have the decency to tell us what they love and dislike about each product even when they are sponsored posts and I respect this but when you hide behind your phone preaching to everyone that you know what you're saying and that each thing is the greatest of all time, you lost me (and your spike in popularity isn't going to win you a Grammy for breakthrough artist of the year). How about those who post on average once a week or even less and only when they are paid to? Again, this is a business for many of us who have established a name and it is a right, but without relatable content the audience doesn't grow, and for people to trust your review they need to see your day to day posts and stories not just endorsed content. It isn't a competition to whose page looks more sponsored; no one will think you are "wanted" as an influencer by doing this, on the contrary, they will assume you accept everything that comes your way and not what you believe in. Same goes for brands and agencies that claim knowledge of influencers and clients but choose to work with the same group of people without checking the history, profile evolution and more in depth insights rather than face value of number of likes and comments, and place them in all their campaigns no matter how (ir)relevant they may be. Before you choose someone who hasn't entered a gym for an exercise campaign or a model-like figure for diet center collaborations, tell me what are you afraid of? That with someone who does work out or needs to lose some weight, the image you built up as an established business will disappear? Are you that unconfident in your skills and service? Or when you choose a profile of someone who has never grazed the food/cooking territory for a staged kitchen theme campaign, do you really think they will be taken seriously and will drive sales to the brand you as an agency are hired to promote? If you have the option to work with someone who is a professional in their field for a campaign up their alley, why go another direction and lose credibility as an agency and for the brand? So many questions that are left unanswered and leave both the bloggers and audience baffled and rewinds society to the time where cars were advertised by having women stand next to them. Isn't this what online marketing was aiming to get rid of?
You know what I'd love to see change? It is action from brands towards wonderful bloggers who are unconventional. This is where your marketing lies; this is what we want to see. We want to see a woman with wide hips model your clothes, or someone with flabby arms. We want to see real women, not perfect faces and bodies. We love perfection and magazine-like editorials but it doesn't make your brand approachable. So instead of preaching tolerance, difference and acceptance, serve them to us by partnering with down to earth influencers so that the public feels they are also beautiful and that what you are selling is attainable. Shout out to the wonderful new bloggers who are writing, Instagrammers with interesting daily content, inspirational feminist pages, mommy bloggers who keep it real, established names that we love to follow for their unapologetic writing and trusted recommendations, you are the ones I love to watch and read, and hopefully we as a group will sustain the online community.
Finally and on a personal note, I have had some people tell me to forget about trying to change people's perceptions and focus on positive things instead of trying to fix everything or sound bitter, I tried it for a short while but I can't, it isn't who I am and not why I started my platform. I am not immune to cyber bullying and have had my share of messages either directly or through someone's platform where they choose to blindly follow someone else's opinion and spread their negative vibes to all those who don't agree with what they are saying. Or others who have bad mouthed me when I haven't ever met them or know of their existence. How pathetic is that? I have never claimed perfection but instead I am growing with you and documenting my days online. It has always been about working mothers, about parenting, new experiences, loving oneself and embracing what I see as my flaws and most importantly about dreaming big and encouraging you to do the same. But when you do have these aspirations and see the other side of things, the mundane, the toxicity, the hypocrisy, would you stand by and do nothing just to gain popularity?

text: Main character Jack Sommers was one of two attorneys on a huge deal in which 88 million dollars of the clients money went missing. The client, a prominent manufacturer who dabbles in fixing sporting events, is furious – and wants his money! The other attorney in the deal was murdered, and Jack has disappeared. Where could he be? Enter the team of hunky Chicago Private Investigator Liam Taggart, and his love, beautiful Attorney Catherine Lockhart. They discover that Jack Sommer's daughter, Sophie, has been taken by his late wife's parents to live with them in Palestine, following a hotly contested custody battle. Jack wants his daughter Sophie back, and will stop at (almost) nothing to retrieve her from his evil father-in-law, a prominent physician who is head of a violent splinter group which is planning terrorist attacks on Israel. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed reading this, as it is very different from my usual taste. Saving Sophie is fast paced, and had me on the edge of my seat as I cheered for the good guys, racing to reunite Sophie with her loving Dad. The romance between P.I. Liam Taggart and Attorney Catherine Lockhart, which began in When We Were Brothers, flourishes here and serves as diversion from some grim detective work. This will appeal to a wide audience, men and women alike.

The mission station in Kudjip, Papua New Guinea is a hub of Church of the Nazarene operations in the country. It houses the Kudjip Nazarene General Hospital, Nazarene College of Nursing, and the Melanesia – South Pacific Field Offices. The Melanesia Nazarene Bible College and Melanesia Nazarene Teacher's College are located nearby. (The photo above shows much of the mission station.)
In addition to the ministry facilities and offices, the mission station houses both missionaries and hospital staff and families. More than 1,600 people live on the mission station. With this many people and ministries, there are always technology needs. Justin Miller has been serving as the Melanesia – South Pacific Field Technology Coordinator for the last year. He has been working with local staff to maintain and improve existing technology as well as provide new, sustainable technology solutions to help with daily operations.
Recently, the nearly 20-year-old telephone system needed to be replaced. It had reached "end-of-life" many years ago, and sources for used parts were drying up. This old system was used for "local" on-station calling only, but was crucial for communication across the station, utilizing 115 extensions across 77 buildings. Working with Josh Williams and Brad Firestone from Global IT, plans were made to replace the system with an open source Voice over IP solution. Justin, along with local team members Michael and Martin, worked to audit existing extensions and create the configuration for the new system. Brad was able to be onsite for the final configuration and switch over. Things went amazingly smoothly with only a few minor unexpected surprises.
"New" features of the system include voicemail, caller ID, call waiting, and the ability to use a GSM gateway to connect with the rest of the global telephone network. The GSM gateway connection provides a way for on-call doctors to be reached via cell-phone rather than just landline extensions. This allows freedom for the doctors to move beyond their homes throughout the station community even while on-call.
Justin has also developed a Point Of Sale system for use in the small store located on station. There are plans to use this same technology in the hospital for patient services. With approximately 60,000 patients annually, this system will help the hospital better track the services provided, as well as help with financial accounting. A related system is also being used for budget management/payroll of the current three-year hospital expansion project.

As black women dating white men becomes a topic I see more and more of in the black press and on blogs, I wonder…Will the stigma that haunts these relationships in the US be as large as the one that haunts Black Male/White Female relations.
From Why black women are doing the white thing
Now, rather than sitting around dreaming about the perfect black man, black women are considering the possibility that 'Mr. Right' could be white. Casting aside reservations about interracial relationships – for some, due to the atrocities committed during slavery – they are beginning to look past race when choosing a potential mate.
Race doesn't matter to Paul Kennedy and Michelle Clarke. Best friends since primary school, they are now in a relationship together. Kennedy is white and Clarke is black. "People are finding people with common interests and common perspectives and are putting race aside," says Clarke, 26, a Middlesex University graduate who works at Barclay's Bank.
Clarke and her friends are among the new generation of black females that are opting to date outside of their race due to their social environment. Like Clarke, the majority of young people have friends or acquaintances of different races and nationalities, and are seen as more tolerant and open-minded than previous generations. Unlike their parents and grandparents, today's teens and twenty-somethings have grown up hearing the buzzwords 'diversity,' 'multicultural' and 'inclusion', and are used to seeing interracial friendship and romance portrayed in films and on TV – especially in soap operas and adverts.
"I don't see colour as an issue," states Clarke. "We have been very happy together and apart from a few isolated incidents, we have not experienced any open hostility towards our relationship." Continue reading

From Table 3. 1, speculate why the fifth point, "Meet information requirements of management", is in the CIO's list of nine (9) points: Meeting information requirements of management is a key focus for many organizations. Companies are constantly looking for ways to improve how they manage information. Information is essential for any decision making process and day-to-day operation. Therefore, it is important that information is managed and disseminated properly throughout the organization. Management use information to establish policy and strategic planning.
It is extremely important that organizations meet their information requirements of management.
Ian Linton (2013) suggests that managers need rapid access to information to solve strategic, financial, marketing, and operational issues. Therefore, it is paramount that organizations evaluate their informational needs of management. The operating environment of today's organizations demands timely, efficient and effective management of information to make informed and up to date decisions. Consequently, requires readily accessible information at their disposal in order to be effective managers.
If an organization is to be successful, it must be an excellent steward of data.
On the other hand, technology is constantly on the rise. As it produces higher efficiency, access, and integrity with improved ways to organize and manage information. At the same time, the IT staff maintains the responsibility of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the organization's intellectual property. To meet these needs, organizations must increase their awareness of the available criteria for evaluation of management informational needs.
Information is power and must be managed properly. Organizations need to consider the latest relevant technological advancements for their business to stay competitive and gain competitive advantage (Nichelson, 2013). Managers are critical elements of an organization; thereby, demanding quality, accuracy, and efficiency to move their business forward. The decision making process is greatly influenced by the relevance and quality of the information available to its management. Imagine only three (3) points are to be rolled out in the first phase.
Evaluate each point to determine the most important three (3) for the initial rollout phase: Although, all are key points. After ample consideration, the initial rollout phase should consist of the following: 1) Provide computing capability to all organizational units that legitimately require it. 2) Meet information requirements of management. 3) Provide computing services in a reliable, professional, and technically competent manner. I believe the three (3) points chosen are high valued and critical to the organization. All departments must have readily accessible information to perform their jobs to be productive.
By means of distributed computing of low cost servers, workstations, and personal computers will provide the widespread use of small computers to provide highly individualistic service to all departments. At the same time, allow users to establish and maintain autonomy in their day-to-day operations while improving departmental productivity (Stallings, 2009). In this instance, deploying inexpensive systems make it possible for organizations to disperse their computing capabilities. Thus, no longer relying on centralized infrastructure to provide services.
Obviously, it make sense as a first measure to acquire information from all departments, thus meeting the requirements for the corporate computing function and the information needs of management. Recommend one (1) additional point the CIO should include in order to ensure the topic of security is addressed in the mission statement. Explain your rationale for the inclusion: Information security enabled by technology must include the means of lowering the impact of intentional and unintentional errors entering the system and to prevent unauthorized internally or externally accessing the system ?
actions to reduce risk data validation, pre-numbered forms, and reviews for duplications. It is crucial that the mission plan include the provision of a disaster recovery and business continuity plan. On the other hand, there is much more intrusion activity today than ever before. Obviously, there is an increased concern for attacks through companies' network in an effort to either commit malice or affect the integrity of an organization's most valuable resource.
Therefore, it is important that companies do not get complacent in their IT infrastructure security. The fact of the matter, there is no perfect system; however, it behooves organizations to protect their information by way of reducing threats and vulnerabilities. Moreover, Whitman and Mattord (2010) said it best, "because of businesses and technology have become more fluid, the concept of computer security has been replaced by the concept of information security.
Companies must realize the importance of information security and are allocating separate budget and human resources for it. It has matured into a separate business enabler function in many organizations. Organizations now face myriad regulatory requirements and the need to manage risk and information theft. Therefore, it is important for organizations to staff people with specific skills so that information assets are safe and the continued integrity of information is assured (Whitman & Mattord, 2010).
Finally, many businesses today are not adequately prepared for an interruption of services. Therefore, it becomes necessary to establish both business disaster recovery and continuity plans to protect the organizations from complete devastation. According to Whitman & Mattord (2010), "the mission statement is the follow- up to the vision statement. If the vision statement states where we want to go, the mission statement describes how we want to get there.

Bags of Reactions Lab Essay
* Problem/Purpose * Background Information: The Law of Conservation of Mass was created by Antoine Lavoisier in the 18th century. This law stated that mass could matter could neither be created nor destroyed. During a reaction the bonds of the reactants are broken and form new substances. As stated in the Law of Conservation, matter can neither be created nor destroyed; because of this the products should have the same number and type of atoms as seen in the reactants. * Purpose: Test the Law of Conservation of Mass. * Hypothesis: If we weight the mass of the materials before and after the reaction, then we can prove if the Law of Conservation of Mass is true. * Materials: * Goggles * 25mL graduated cylinder * 2 resealable bags * Scale * Antacid tablet * Scoopula * CaCl2 , Calcium Chloride * NaHCO3 , Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate * Universal Indicator * Procedure Part A 1. Measure 25mL of water and put into a resealable bag. Flatten air out of the bag and seal it. Record the mass in Table 1. 2. Record the mass of the antacid tablet in Table 1 3. Tip the bag sideways, and while holding the bag this way, add the tablet and water so not mix. Do not trap any extra air in the bag. Reseal the bag. 4. Let the tablet drop into the water. Observe the reaction until it comes to a complete stop. Record the observations. 5. When the reaction is complete, record the mass of the bag and its contents in Table 1. Part B 6. Add two scoops of CaCl2 to the second bag 7. Add one scoop of NaHCO3 to the bag and shake gently to mix. 8. Determine the mass of the bag and its contents. Record in Table 2. 9. Measure 25mL of water in a graduated cylinder. Add 10 drops of Universal Indicator to the water. 10. Tip the bag sideways, and while holding the solids in the upper part of the bag, pour the water into the bag so the solids donââ¬â¢t mix. 11. Keeping the trapped air to a minimum, reseal the bag. Hold the bag and let the liquid move from one end of the bag to the other until the contents are mixed. 12. Observe the reaction until it comes to a complete stop. Record your observations 13. Record the mass of the unopened bag in Table 2. Clean up your work and wash your hands before leaving the laboratory. * Data/Results Table 1: Antacid and Water| Mass of bag and water| 27.085g| Mass of tablet| 3.21g| Mass of bag and reactants| 30.305g| Mass of bag and products| 28.14g| Table 2: CaCl2, NaHCO3, and Water| Mass of bag and dry reactants| 4.09g| Volume of water| 25mL| Mass of water| 24.925g| Total mass of bag and reactants| 29.015g| Mass of bag and products| 27.37g| * Analysis/Conclusion A. Analysis Questions: 1. How do the values for the total mass before and after each reaction demonstrate the law of conservation of mass? The values seem to be in the same general value 2. What were three observations you made that indicated a reaction had occurred in part A? The tablet started to fizz, the bag began to fill with gas, and you could hear the tablet reacting with the water. 3. An indicator changes color when the acidity of a solution changes. What evidence is there that such change occurred in Part B? The universal indicator changed to a yellowish orange color 4. Did the reaction in Part B become more acidic or basic? More acidic B. Conclusion: The lab showed us that the Law of Conservation of Mass is correct. I feel that there were some mistakes in the lab. The size of the scale we were using was not large enough to fit the entire bag on for weighing. I feel that this affected the results we recorded for mass. If I were to redo this experiment I would be sure to use a bigger scale. I feel the data was also affected by extra air left in the bag. The results are close enough to show that the Law of Conservation of Mass is possible though when you take into accounts the problem we had with the lab.

Traditional Dating Vs Online Datingby William Lynch
Finding love is never easy, and the dating process can often be a lonely, frustrating experience full of rejection and uncertainty. Technology has tried to make the process as painless as possible with online dating, which lets you search for romance from the comfort of your own home. Of course, no system is perfect, and online dating also has its potential pitfalls when compared to traditional dating.
Unless you're set up with a friend of a friend or you meet someone at work, traditional dating typically requires frequenting bars or other public social gatherings in an effort to meet someone new. Striking up a conversation with a stranger can be awkward and even embarrassing, reducing your chances for success. With online dating, you can browse the personal profiles of potential partners with no pressure or forced interactions. You choose exactly when and for how long you browse, dating on your terms. However, browsing so many profiles can prove daunting, and the experience may seem impersonal without the instant attraction and excitement felt when meeting someone new in a traditional dating environment.
Online dating profiles provide an individual's photo along with a wide variety of pertinent information, including everything from career aspirations to hobbies to personal tastes in movies and TV shows. If you choose to interact with the individual, you're doing so based on more than mere physical attraction, and the supplied information can also make sparking a conversation less challenging. Traditional dating requires a greater leap of faith, which can add to the emotional involvement. Also, traditional dating allows you to learn about your partner slowly over time, preserving an element of mystery and making future discoveries more meaningful.
Individuals often turn to online dating simply because their immediate business and social circles don't allow them to meet new people on a regular basis. Online dating greatly increases the number of potential romantic partners, letting you search for dates from within the surrounding local area or from around the country. Then again, this greater scope may be too much of a good thing. Finding a dating partner in your own town can be difficult enough, so expanding the search to include the entire country may make the quest seem overwhelming. And meeting someone who lives in another city or another part of the country creates travel concerns and logistical problems not generally found in traditional dating.
While people lie in traditional dating, online dating makes such misrepresentation much easier to accomplish. Unscrupulous daters may use fake or outdated profile photos and greatly exaggerate their personal histories in an attempt to lure unsuspecting admirers. When engaging in traditional dating, you at least know you're dealing with a real person, and the personal interaction eliminates any chance for exaggerated physical descriptions or fabricated character traits. You also have the opportunity to ask around and see what friends and family members think of the individual, which usually isn't possible with online dating.
Online dating provides a layer of protection not found in traditional dating since you don't have to physically meet the individual until you are completely comfortable and secure in your interactions. For added personal security in online dating, be careful not to share personal contact information until you're convinced of the person's character. Furthermore, if you decide to meet, make the initial date in a public place like a restaurant or cafe before opting for something more intimate. The same basic rules apply in traditional dating scenarios, especially if the person is someone you met at a bar or someone with no shared social connections.

EDF due to this fact enables creation of an ecosystem for offering threat capital to each business and academia to undertake research and growth in these technology areas. The necessity for CO₂ discount, the increasing complexity of recent powertrain techniques, and a requirement to attain the highest possible degree of course of effectivity – together with the need to rapidly launch new fashions – are some of the key challenges going through the automotive business now and for the foreseeable future.
EDF is an initiative of Deity to create a fund of funds" which can work with venture capitalists (VCs) to create funds, referred to as daughter funds", which in turn will present danger capital to companies growing new technologies in the space of electronics, nano-electronics and data know-how (IT).
This market insight explores these questions and suggests that whereas there's a place for traditional merchandise and techniques to deal with nicely established features, innovation requires builders to break away from this mould and embrace custom electronic improvement.
For digital elements, HEVs and EVs place a huge emphasis on energy-efficient energy conversion: dc-dc converters power low-voltage electronics; dc-ac converters drive electric motors, together with powertrains; and ac-dc converters recharge car battery banks from both single-phase residential retailers and multiphase high-energy automobile charging stations.
The system is specified over the automotive temperature range and features a set of automotive-friendly peripherals: motor management and programmable timer interfaces; Ethernet, CAN, LIN, FlexRay, SPI, and I2C interfaces; a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC); and a high-finish timer (HET) co-processor.

After many false starts I signed up for weekly crochet lessons at the local college. 5 weeks later, not an expert, but I can do the basics.
So I decided to test my 'skills' with a small baby blanket. I used Deramores studio DK in Frost for my main colour and then Mustard, Indigo, Topaz and Blush for the contrasts.
I used the Medium Butterfly Loom and wrapped 6 rows in the Frost.
- Knot the outer intersections only
- Gather the inner sections into the middle to form a daisy
- Pass your needle diagonally under all of the threads and out the other side, at the front pass the needle through the loop and pull the centre into place.
- Repeat for opposite diagonal
- Pass your needle under one of the petals and out the other side
- On the front pass the needle through the loop and pull the knot down towards the centre
- repeat for all of the petals and secure off.
I then used a series of treble and double crochet stitches in the contrasting colour.
Row 1
Starting in one corner, 3 tbl into the loop then 2 ch, *3 tbl into the loop then 2 ch* until you get to the next corner.
In each corner 3 tbl, 1 ch, 3 tbl, then 2 ch, *3 tbl into the loop then 2 ch* until you get to the next corner.
When you reach the corner you started, 3 tbl, 1 ch and slip stitch to join the beginning
The 2 chain are in the gaps and the 3 treble are around the loop
Row 2
3 ch to start, in corner, 2 tbl then tbl into each gap, I do not know how to describe this in the proper jargon, but basically I trebled into each gap and when I got to the corner I did 3 tbl, 1 ch, 3 tbl to form the corner – I am happy for someone to give me the right terminology!
Row 3 & 4
Double crochet into each gap
So where did I go wrong??
On the blush (pink) I did a white row 1 and all the others I did a coloured row 1
On the mustard one of the corners has come a little unravelled, I think I did not secure my starting end
I thought I had 6 colours (to make 6 squares) but then realised I had only 4 so I made the multi-coloured ones in the middle, which I'm not sure I like
The pink one is smaller than the others, one less row, also on the pink I did not start/finish on a corner so it has a bit of a bulge where it is ended
I should have done more in the white and followed the same treble sequence to give a deeper border.
Other than that, I think this is pretty good for a first attempt at crocheting. The great thing is, it only took me 3 days to do, which I think is really quick (you might not?!) so it is really great to improve your crocheting with, the main part is done on the Butterfly Loom and you only have to do a few rounds and then join them together – I joined mine with double crochet.
The Butterfly Loom is available in 6 sizes and using the larger looms you can have a blanket made in no time at all!

Global leaders to discuss world's future, populism rise at Davos economic forum
MOSCOW, Jan. 17 (PNA/Sputnik) -- The world's political, financial and business elites will gather in Davos, an expensive ski resort in the Swiss Alps, on January 17 to 20 to share their concerns about the challenges that humanity is facing and to discuss how to cope with them.
The World Economic Forum's (WEF) annual meeting 2017 comes after a year marked by a significant shift to anti-establishment and anti-globalization views, and mostly remembered for the Britons' choice to leave the European Union and Donald Trump's victory at the presidential election in the United States.
In tune with the zeitgeist, Davos 2017 will run under the theme "Responsive and responsible leadership," dwelling on the ways to reverse the tide of growing protectionism and populism, revive economic growth and reform market capitalism.
Humanitarian challenges, primarily is Syria, expectations on the upcoming Trump's presidency, refugee crisis and the global terror threat are also to rank high at this year's WEF.
Some 3,000 participants from over 100 countries are due to take part. The conference is going to be the most diverse ever, according to the organizers, as one third of participants will be outside business and government.
Among the most well-known attendees of the forum are outgoing US Vice President Joe Biden, US State Secretary John Kerry, British Prime Minister Theresa May, Alibaba CEO Jack Ma, actor Matt Damon, singer Shakira, South African President Jacob Zuma and Chinese President Xi Jinping, who will open the summit.
It will be the first time the Chinese head of state attends the forum.
Xi is expected to continue his mission of presenting China as a champion of globalization and the key actor in shaping global economic order, which he started already in Peru at APEC summit in November, just after Trump, who promised to hike tariffs against China, won.
Davos 2017 will end just as Trump takes office on January 20.
The first WEF Annual Meeting was held in 1971. In 1988, signing of the Davos Declaration between Turkey and Greece allowed the two nations to avoid the war. In 1992, a recently liberated Nelson Mandela shook hands in Davos with the then South African president, which became a key moment in the end of apartheid era. In 2002, the WEF annual meeting was held in New York as a solidarity gesture after 9/11 attacks. (PNA/Sputnik)

Abraham Lincoln once said, "The best way to predict the future is to create it."
When viewed from that perspective, the future has gone through many iterations since Lincoln's day, with data playing a key role in some notable "creations." We've examined how this trend is impacting various sectors numerous times on this blog — including the airline industry, retail and real estate.
But what about the future that we're currently creating?
It's an exciting time for data science and data-driven innovation, with new technologies continually emerging that showcase how far we've come, and challenge us to create new implementations. Below is a round-up of just a few such recent innovations:
- Using AI to Identify People via Their Footsteps — According to a recent VentureBeat article, researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi have devised an artificial intelligence system that does exactly that — although the technology is still in its infancy. The article states, "A notable drawback of the system is its inability to ID more than one person at a time — two or more confuse the system. The researchers leave this to future work, but believe the current iteration could be reliably used to register classroom or workshop attendance, detect intruders, and control home appliances." The system is also interesting from a privacy perspective, providing an accurate way of identifying individuals without infringing on personal privacy rights.
- Purchasing through Alexa — As TechCrunch reported in September, Alexa skill developers are now able to sell "consumables" within their voice apps. Motley Fool believes this could become a significant revenue stream for Amazon and enable the company to "further build out its connected-home dominance."
- Counting Crowds through Walls via WiFi — Researchers at the University of California Santa Barbara have demonstrated how crowds can be counted through walls using communication signals like WiFi. This video contains more detail on the system's methodology and approach and its various applications, including smart energy management, retail business planning and security.
Simply put, the above innovations would not be possible without the ability to access, analyze and act upon data. And while we may still be a way off from realizing the full potential of these new technologies, it's safe to say they are in our not too distant future.

I'm new to the open-source GIS world, having abandoned ArcGIS due to costs, and am looking for an OS analog to the Collector app. What I'm seeking to do is collect field data with an Android cell phone (namely points, tracks, polygons to which I can assign some attributes) and import it into QGIS, like I'd have done with Collector and Arc. I've toyed with NextGIS, GeoODK Collect, and QField but they seem crazy confusing to a noob like myself.
Any hints or recommended starting points?
I can get basic GPX data from any old mapping app but I'm looking for something more robust and scalable.
UPDATE: I've gotten QField to the point where I can create an informative map in QGIS and upload it to my phone; the issue now is figuring out how to record GPS tracks and the like. I'm finding the clunky interface (and online documentation) a bit lacking. I gather I can simply draw polygons and lines, but that's not nearly as helpful as being able to log my GPS track. I need this functionality to map logging roads/trails. Any ideas?

Also do not update supersu through playstore untill we are for sure that it wont mess anything up
Notice from @Chainfire:
I'm just going to leave this here...
You will need:
- Engineering boot images
- Patched version of Odin3 (only AT&T models ?)
- Extract files, and run root.bat with adb on the path
This version of SuperSU is not officially supported. I recommend against updating the APK from the Play Store, or otherwise updating the binaries, unless someone knowledgable has tried before you and confirmed it worked.
If it breaks, you get to keep all the pieces.
I take no responsibility for anything that happens to your device, same goes for everyone that helped.
First file you will need is here http://devhost.xda-developers.com/gsDA
This is special Odin to bypass SHA-256 made by Princecosmy
Second file you will need is
G935A http://devhost.xda-developers.com/lQY8
G930A http://devhost.xda-developers.com/aK2A
This is the engboot. Using @billas since its already uploaded.
Basically once you have these two files open up the odin included and place the .tar in the ap section should only take a few seconds to flash.
After you are back up download SuperSU made for our phone from here https://download.chainfire.eu/968/Su....74-2-S7QC.zip
Extract the files to a folder.
Here it may get a bit tricky for some.
Go to your adb install location. Open a command window where your adb files are located.
Change the directory to your supersu folder location from earlier, and run the root.bat from the cmd.
I am not very good at instructions as this is my first time doing anything like this.
For the bounty id prefer if you just donate to https://secure.savethechildren.org/s...a/sd/donor.asp
Makes more of a lasting impact then what i could do with any of it.
Again thank you to everyone who helped!
We made it fam!
If you are successful after rooting and can give better instructions please let me know!

I am supposed to write, that's what God has told me. That I am supposed to open my heart and let people know what He has done for me.
I don't know if you have any idea, dear Reader, how difficult this is for me. I fight a battle in my mind daily between ego and trust. I believe that I am at a turning point now, either do as my God has told me with reverent awe, or feel Him remove the anointing He has given me to write. I am not ashamed to say that this causes fear to rise in me. I know that the spirit of fear is not from God. 2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) tells us, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." Yet I fall trap to the deception that I am not good enough, that people don't even read this blog. The enemy tells me that the proof is in the lack of comments, even when I ask for them because I think maybe I ought to just stop altogether. But the statistics of this web page tell me that there are people out there who read it in different countries in the world. There is no way of me finding out who sends a comment or who has stopped by this web page, but I know you are there.
I am ready to do as God has asked me, and that is to open my heart. God speaks with me. I can imagine how the media would play that out! "So, you think GOD spoke to you?!" They would be incredulous and full of ridicule. They would sarcastically mock me, as would anyone who has never stopped talking long enough to hear Him talk to them. Yes, God speaks with me! And guess what? He speaks to you! You don't believe me? Who do you think is behind that sweet voice of conscience telling you not to do something or not to go down that street because danger lurks there? What about when you just "feel" like doing something nice for someone? Maybe you let them pay for their groceries first, or you hold the door open for someone, or you put a dollar in the Salvation Army kettle and smile and say "have a nice day!"
That is the voice of God Himself. He is NOT too busy to visit with you in Russia, or you in the Netherlands, or Malaysia, or Latvia, or Germany, or here in the great USA! He is watching, He is waiting, He is loving us, and teaching us.
I began this message with the title of learning to trust. I will write a book about trust, I believe that God wants me to. He is teaching me about trust. Let me tell you, I am not the best of students. I am going to lay my soul bare to you over the coming days or weeks or months or however long it takes for me to do what He has asked. I will walk through my fear as Joyce Meyer suggests, and share with you things He has said to me, and things I have replied. I will try to let you know that we are very much alike, you and I. We share many things that will help each other move forward.
I will end this with a beginning. I will share with you the things that He spoke with me and what I have spoken with Him. I am beginning with a prayer for you and I.
My Dear Lord,
I come before You today somewhat afraid, and humbled by Your majesty. I am going to obey You and allow myself to be transparent to those You have selected to be a part of my life. I ask You to give me strength to go forward with what You have told me to do. I ask that You replace fear of ridicule and mockery with trust in You.
I know in my heart that You won't leave me, for You have told me so. The voices of the world shout so loud in my ear to not bare my soul, but Your still small voice beckons me to believe that You will accomplish great things through me, if I only allow You to. I believe that You will lead me in battle and that Jesus will fight for me! I believe that the victory is already ours, and that with every little skirmish I get through with Your help, the easier it will become for me to trust You.
I pray that sooner rather than later I grow into that woman You chose me to be. I surrender myself to You right now, witnessed by whoever may be reading this, to do my best to accomplish what You want me to, and to give the glory to You, Lord! It is only through You that what I write will be the answer to someone's prayer. Use me as Your pen, let my words be Yours, and let my heart become happier with each message we share. I collaborate with You, Lord, to write the words that will bring sight to the blind and heal the brokenhearted.
I love You more than I can put on this page, and I thank You for loving me and everyone reading these words. I thank You for every person that You have and will place in my life to bring You glory. I give You honor, Lord, and I thank You for saving my soul, and for choosing me for such a time as this. Amen.
Dear Reader, I will be back. Please bear with me as I obey and trust. Thank you for your kindness, and I ask God to bless each one of you in the name of the Holiest of holies.

Greg & Jeanne's Paladina Health Story
"I'd highly recommend it to all my family and coworkers. And I've definitely recommended it to everybody that I've encountered and shared my experiences to them about it.
What I really liked about the experience was the fact that we can go to her with numerous health issues, and she didn't send us off to a specialist. And she took the time to actually learn all the little intricate things and was willing to work on all the different areas instead of saying, "Oh, well, you have a thyroid problem, so you need to go see a thyroid specialist." Or, you know, or, you know, "You have a skin tag. You need to go to a dermatologist.
I haven't felt that comfortable with a doctor since I had a pediatrician, so it's huge. You know, you can talk to her about anything and you feel comfortable. It's nice."

Dear Parent/Guardian:
California's academic standards—what we want students to know and be able to do—are designed so students graduate ready for college and a career. One way we measure student progress toward the standards is through the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP).
Each spring, students in Irvine Unified School District participate in CAASPP assessments to provide information about their skills in English-language arts/literacy (ELA), mathematics, and science. These tests measure the skills called for by the academic standards, including the ability to write clearly, think critically, and solve problems. Like class assignments and report cards, these assessments provide one piece of information about student progress. Assessment results should always be interpreted as one of multiple measures of a student's skills.
Based on your child's grade level, they may take one or more of the following tests this year:
Smarter Balanced Assessments (Grades 3-8 and 11)
The computer adaptive Smarter Balanced ELA and mathematics tests reflect California's rigorous academic standards. These assessments allow students to demonstrate analytical writing and critical thinking skills as well as their knowledge of facts.
California Science Test (Grades 5, 8, and High School)
California's new state standards for science call for students to think and work like scientists and engineers—asking questions and learning through hands-on investigation and discovery. The new California Science Test (CAST) is an online test that emphasizes scientific thinking and reasoning. All students in grades 5 and 8 participate in the assessment, and students will also take the CAST once in high school (most students will participate in 11th grade).
California Alternate Assessments
Students in grades three through eight and high school who have an IEP that designates the use of an alternate assessment are eligible to take the California Alternate Assessment (CAA) in ELA, mathematics, and science. The goal of the CAAs is to ensure that students with significant cognitive disabilities attain increasingly higher achievement levels and leave high school ready for academic or career options.
If your child participates in any of the above assessments, their scores will be available electronically through Parent Portal in the fall.
You are an important part of your child's education. To help your child get ready for the tests you can:
- Talk about the tests. Make sure your child is not scared or anxious.
- Tell your child that you and their teacher have high expectations and are both there to help, every step of the way.
- Take a practice test with your child at http://www.caaspp.org/practice-and-training/index.html.
- Make sure your child gets a good night's sleep and a nutritious breakfast before testing.
If you would like more information about the assessments, please visit the IUSD Statewide Testing website at iusd.org/statewide-testing or the CDE CAASPP web page at www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ca/. If you have any questions, please contact Christin Samura at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Gratuitous Neptune Perkins Hate Revisited.
But the truly observant visitor to this blog may remember that there is one character I hate even more than Dick Grayson and for actually almost rational reasons.
Neptune Perkins.
Now, since I haven't made fun of him in ages. I've decided today is the perfect day to start.
Now as folks may or may not remember, some time back there was a team called Young Justice who were temporarily plagued by a team called Old Justice and the government who, for reasons that were never completely clear, wanted to shut them down presumably for their own safety. Senator (Senator! People actually voted for this dillweed) Neptune Perkins was behind that. This is not particularly notable except that it allowed the following page to be created in Sins of Youth 1:
Now, being a fairly knowledgeable, if still relatively newbie, comic book fan, I actually know that Arthur Curry/Orin of Atlantis/Aquaman is fairly badass and awesome. So I'm not actually going to mock Neptune Perkins for getting utterly owned by Aquaman of all heroes here.
I'm going to mock him for getting utterly owned by the silliest incarnation of Aquaman that didn't involve the real version becoming some kind of undersea tentacle monster. I mean seriously, it's the long hair and stupid-hook-hand version!
It's funny because the 1940s era heroes have such prestige nowadays. Even characters like Sand who are all of twenty-five get their share of respectful nods from the "younger" Silver Age-to-current heroes. Whereas the heroes like Green Arrow, Superman, Batman, Aquaman who ended up transplanted whole in the modern age give up that status. Thus we get fascinating character dynamics such as when Batman and Alan Scott get to team up together.
But anyway, the average 1940s remnant hero always seems to have some level of dignity and seniority. They may fight with the more modern heroes sometimes, they may even be wrong, but they never get utterly owned by their modern counterparts. There is always some amount of respect there even if it's just revolving around the fact that this is one of the earliest superheroes and groundbreakers.
Except Neptune Perkins. Sure Arthur's a king and has an ego the size of Lemuria, Perkins is still a US politician with quite a measure of power and forty years or so more experience as well as All-Star credibility. There is no reason why he shouldn't be able to hold his own.
Except for the fact that he is utterly worthless. Also, he somehow manages to make a widow's peak and stylish grey temples look stupid.
I'm so glad the shark ate him.
I have to admit, I can't quite make fun of this part though:
Because honestly, I totally would have had the same reaction. That would be awesome. Best ability I've heard in ages.
But aside from that? Neptune Perkins totally deserved to get chomped. Heh.

Habitat for Humanity – Loaves and Fishes
The Loaves and Fishes Committee is First Plymouth's outreach link to Habitat for Humanity of Denver, through the Loaves and Fishes coalition of twelve churches in the Denver metro area. Together we have built eighteen houses since the coalition was organized in 1998.
Our 21st house is being constructed in the Swansea complex near the intersection of I-70 and Colorado Boulevard. Habitat for Humanity's vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Its work is funded by coalitions like Loaves & Fishes, which depend on your contributions to continue building our homes. It also receives some federal and state funding and uses the mortgage payments from Habitat families (yes, they have mortgage payments proportional to their income) to build even more homes for motivated and deserving families. We also rely on volunteers to help construct the homes. There is always something for everyone to do, no matter your skill level. There is a dreadful shortage of affordable housing in the Denver area, and you can become part of the solution to this problem through your financial and time commitments.
To donate to Loaves & Fishes, please make your check payable to "First Plymouth Congregational Church" and mark it for "Loaves & Fishes" in the memo line. To volunteer to help with the 2017 house, go to the Loaves and Fishes website.
Habitat's vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live. And remember, Habitat is a "hand up, not a hand-out."
The Loaves & Fishes Committee: Carole Westphal, Stan Harwood, Bruce Thumm, Nancy Joe Shaw, Paul Erickson and Kit Cowperthwaite.

Our eco-friendly weighted blankets have been engineered to be 10% of your body weight to naturally reduce anxiety and increase relaxation. The secret behind this therapeutic blanket is the Deep Pressure Touch Stimulation. This distributes pressure across your body, which simulates the feeling of being hugged and relaxes your central nervous system.
This increases serotonin and melatonin levels and decreases cortisol levels—improving your mood and promoting restful sleep at the same time. All without ever filling a prescription or taking Benadryl or sleep medication that can leave you feeling groggy or unwell the next morning.
Do you want to experience the sleep benefits of weighted blankets? Try one for yourself using our exclusive $10 off discount code.
Even hospitals use weighted blankets to calm patients' anxiety and promote deep, restful sleep. In a similar way to swaddling an infant, the weight and pressure on an adult provides near-instant comfort and relief. In fact, weighted blankets are well known within the medical community, where they've been used as a natural stress reliever for decades.
The many qualities of bamboo charcoal lyocell fabric includes:
The Maestra Blanket includes a convenient zipper system that makes blanket care a breeze.
Many weighted blankets hold the beads in large pockets, but we keep ours in small (right size), snug compartments. This ensures that the weight is distributed evenly and doesn't sag or bunch up.
Other Feature: We use tensile strength threads to sew our blanket and protective cover, making our blanket more durable.
We make sure the lead free, non-toxic, non-puncture and odorless glass beads we use are the perfect size for our blankets. This prevents leakage with additional small cut fabrics to avoid shifting noises when you move the blanket. On top of that, we add another lining to prevent the beads from passing through small holes and use double line stitching. The result? A better blanket, with more benefits.
If you suffer with any ounce of anxiety, stress, or depression and struggle with sleep, this weighted blanket could be the solution to your problem you've been waiting for. Imagine sleeping under with 10lbs -25lbs of goodness, warmth and comfort, you will feel like you are getting a big hug from a loved one. It will calm you down, reduce those negative feelings and help to improve the overall quality of your sleep. All-natural. No prescription. No side-effects. It works and backed by Science. If you dont have any anxiety or stress and just want to improve your sleep, then this is for you as well. Not only can be used at sleep, but also can be used while reading, relaxing, meditating, travelling or watching TV.

It's been about four months now since we landed in Toronto. I'm proud of how we've managed to pull ourselves together and make a life here. I hate that we have no money and are financially so much worse off here. I knew that would happen but somehow it's a worse prospect now it's actually happened. The weather is beginning to cool down, not enough really, and the amount of snow thus far has been pretty pathetic, but Torontonians assure me there is plenty of time for that and I should just be grateful for the continued lack of it for the moment.
I miss Australia desperately. I don't remember ever missing it like this. It's not so much because I don't like Canada, there's a lot to like, the weather and the nature being two of the best aspects. I like that my son has made friends and we know our neighbours. I love my uni course even though I don't know how I will get through the amount of work I've got. I'm not really liking how conservative Canadians are and how they don't seem to get saracasm and are a bit up tight, but they're not all that way – you get different people everywhere, it's silly to generalise. I absolutely hate the safety obsession though and I'm not overly impressed with my son's school. The way they're teaching, the behavioural policies, the way they relate to the children, everything is sub par. People are nice, but that doesn't account for everything. The systems and processes and 'the way things are done' are all pretty lame here in Canada generally. Well, no, I can't speak for the whole of Canada. Here in the GTA, there are a lot of crazy, convoluted, ridiculous, weird, confusing, illogical and just plain stupid ways of doing things. I come across something every day that make me pause and say, what the fuck?! So that drives me insane on a daily basis.
My course is great, really. I kind of wish I wasn't doing the Book History program, as, aside from it being yet more work, I'm not particularly inspired by it. I am enjoying aspects, like researching the assignments, but the reading is a little boring and the size of the class just isn't conducive to good discussion. I find myself wondering whether it's all much ado about nothing a lot of the time. Like seriously, who cares what database storage application you use to access your journal articles and whether it changes the way you approach your reading of those articles? Okay, well maybe some people do care about that. I don't. On the other hand, I've been privileged to be able to handle some very rare books, read some interesting articles, hear about really fascinating topics, and study some wonderful primary source material. I've used a hand printing press and flipped through a first edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I think my feelings about this course are telling me that I really don't have a future in pure literature, like I'm not meant to do this sort of stuff.
So what is thrilling me? Well, my favourite course is philology, although there's a lot about that which is just fun and interesting rather than something I'm actually going to pursue at the next level. I think the course that's made me realise where my future lies is one on a particular diaspora. I am really inspired by the process of gathering the stories of exiles and emigrants, by this question of home and cultural belonging. It's something that plagues me constantly, and probably always will, and I feel as if I have a lot to say about it and I just want to know more. So if and when I do a PhD, it will be something relating to that. I would like to do comparative literature but you need a third language for that so I'd need to learn one. Maybe German? Or would French or Spanish be easier? Because of my German blood, it would make more sense to learn that I think. But it's a hard language. At least I don't have a mental block about it like I do with French which drives me mad with its ridiculous pronunciation! Anyway, that's the plan.
But I digress. What this post is really about is what I'm feeling about staying here in Canada. Mr Chewbacca wants another year, and I do too, kind of. I can see why it would be an advantage. I feel terrible about uprooting my kids, the Dude really, as Thumper is still little. I guess no matter what he's going to be uprooted and sent to a different school regardless. I feel like I'm working so hard and not getting enough time to enjoy life here, plus the constant worry about money and when we'll ever settle is really getting to me. I want to go home, find a niche. But at the same time I know we still won't have money. It's all gone, all that we could have used to buy a house in Australia. I don't know if I can come to terms with that just yet. I feel like we might have made a mistake. And yet, I know if we didn't come here, we'd always have wondered.
On my side of the family, they did it, they took the plunge and moved across the world. Twice, in fact. Both sides of my family actually. On Mr C's side, they didn't. There was talk of that possibility and it just never eventuated. Lots more stories to be told there. It certainly feels like history repeating itself for me, anyway.
One thing's for sure, and I thought about this as I glanced out the window as my train approached the city: I will never love Toronto.

In the past, it used to be that, if you wanted any kind of career within the healthcare field, you had to go to school for a minimum of two years. Nowadays, you do still need a degree or certificate for most healthcare professions, but one thing that's different is that you can now earn many of these degrees and certificates right from the comfort of your own home. Online learning has really "changed the game" when it comes to healthcare degrees. In fact, here are five awesome healthcare degrees you can earn online.
Healthcare Management/Healthcare Administration
Recent reports indicate that a whopping 96% of hospitals have started using electronic health records. From that statistic, it's easy to see that just about everything is going online and digital in this way, so it's really no surprise that healthcare degrees would also be moving online.
One such degree, which you can easily get online, is a bachelor's degree in healthcare management or healthcare administration. Within this field, you'd basically take on a hands-off administrative role, doing things like overseeing medical finances, keeping medical records, and basically making sure a medical facility runs smoothly.
Fortunately, this is an easy degree to pursue online. You can work at your own pace as you educate yourself on accounting, leadership skills, medical law, human resources, and more.
Respiratory Therapy
Respiratory therapists are in the business of helping people breathe, and really, what could be more important than that? These professionals may help people who have permanent breathing conditions, such as asthma, or they may assist in emergency situations by helping people to breathe when they are having difficulty. No matter what, they administer tried and true medications and techniques to make breathing possible, which, in turn, makes life itself possible.
For those interested in this career field, the good news is that there are several online respiratory therapy programs that can teach these skills and earn a person an associate's degree or even a bachelor's degree within the field.
Did you know that 83% of adults and 92% of children will visit a doctor each year? With so many people seeking medical assistance so regularly, it's no surprise that healthcare professionals, and nurses in particular, are in such high demand.
Fortunately, you can meet this high demand and enjoy a great job with even greater job security by pursuing an online nursing degree. You can even specialize in the specific area of nursing that most interests you.
Medical Assisting
Doctors are busy people. Not only do they have to worry about treating patients, but they also have to worry about "behind the scenes" things, such as predictive analysis techniques and protecting their practices from litigation.
Because these people are so busy and have so much on their minds, it makes sense that they could use someone to assist them with their daily medical tasks, and that is where medical assistants come in. If you think being a doctor's "right hand man" sounds great, then this could be an online degree worth pursuing for you.
Public Health
Finally, if you want to earn an online medical degree that will be versatile and give you a lot of different options, consider a degree in public health. These degrees, which are offered as associate's degrees all the way up to master's degrees, can allow you to work in medical administration, become a health educator, work with the public, and so much more, making them a great option for when you know you want to work in the medical field but you're unsure of exactly what you want to do.
As you can see, there are many great opportunities for getting a medical field education online. Explore these and other options to find the perfect degree program and the perfect career path for you!

Executive Persuasion
What if every one in your organization was as good at persuasion communication as your sales team?
It's no secret that professional sales people excel when it comes to executive persuasion. We hire them for this interpersonal skill and their ability to build lasting relationships in the brief windows of time they have to influence busy executives. Persuasion techniques work effectively and quickly to make the person understand what the communicator is saying and feeling in such a way that it motivates them to act. That's the definition of influence.
Professional sales people use influence to inspire action and commitment from their audience.
So why can't executives and managers use the same skills to get their people to do what needs to be done? Successful influence motivates people to act with passion and speed. This is why persuasion techniques are so useful to busy executives. When granted an audience with even busier executives, the time they have to effectively communicate is short. The term elevator pitch illustrates the need for this skill. If you can deliver your message in the few seconds it takes an elevator to go from floor to floor in a way that influences someone to take action, that's effective persuasion communication.
Persuasion communication is the heart of relationship building.
Effective executive persuasion also requires good listening over a meaningful period of time. In order to persuade your audience, you have to dedicate the time to get to know your audience. You have to know who they are and how they hear you. When time is short and the message important, these persuasion communication competencies must be exceptionally well developed.
Put persuasion communication to work for you through enterprise-wide executive persuasion training from AvoLead.
Developing the skills of influence and persuasion communication across your organization can improve the effectiveness of leaders and the speed of implementation of strategic initiatives. AvoLead has the assessment tools and learning resources that enable individuals to quickly define their current level of influencing skills and get on the fastest path to improvement. AvoLead's comprehensive persuasion communication training can effectively deliver this learning in a group-learning environment that is most appropriate for individuals, teams or your entire organization.
Partner with AvoLead and see just how quickly persuasion training can change the way things are said and done at your organization – for the better.
