Relationship abuse can occur at any age as a new study finds that one in four women older than 65 has been the victim of physical, sexual or psychological violence at the hands of a spouse or other intimate partner.
In a study focusing on women in two northwestern states, researchers discovered about 3.5 percent of the women surveyed had suffered violence in the past five years, and 2.2 percent in the past year.
"Intimate partner violence is not a problem only for younger women," said Amy Bonomi, lead author of the study and associate professor of human development and family science at Ohio State University.
The study appears in the February 2007 issue of The Gerontologist. It involved telephone interviews with 370 women aged 65 years and older who belonged to a health care system in western Washington state and northern Idaho.
Bonomi said this is one of only a handful of studies to focus solely on the depth and breadth of violence perpetrated by intimate partners against older women.
The results showed that 26.5 percent of the women surveyed reported violence by an intimate partner over their lifetimes. Of those who reported abuse, most were the victims of multiple types.
"It was very rare that women experienced only one type of violence," Bonomi said. "Over half experienced two or more types of violence. That's troubling."
About 18 percent reported sexual or physical abuse and 22 percent were the victims of psychological abuse, including being threatened, called derogatory names or having their behavior controlled by their partner.
The psychological abuse experienced by women in this study was not minor, Bonomi said. About 70 percent of women who experienced verbal threats by an intimate partner said these threats were severe. Additionally, women who reported controlling behavior had experienced this abuse for an average of 10 years.
In spite of the breadth and depth of violence in this group of women, only 3 percent said they had been asked by a health care provider about physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner since age 18.
"Not enough doctors and other health care professionals are screening women for intimate partner abuse," Bonomi said.
"The health care setting is a crucial focus for victims, because it provides a safe, confidential place for ongoing interactions between abused women and their health care providers."
While the prevalence of violence found in this study is startling enough, Bonomi said it is probably an underestimate of how much it actually occurred.
One reason is that women were asked to recall abuse over a lifetime. There may have been a tendency for women to downplay violence experienced early in life.
In addition, women who participated in the study were consistently insured and highly educated. Violence rates tend to be higher in women without consistent insurance and women with less formal education.
Intimate partner violence takes not only a personal toll, but a financial one as well, according to Bonomi. In an earlier study by Bonomi and her colleagues, findings showed the health care costs for abused women were 19 percent higher than for non-abused women.
"We found that health care costs for abused women were still higher even five years after the abuse stopped," Bonomi said. "This underscores the need to pay attention to the issue of intimate partner violence in health care settings."
The study was supported by the federal Agency for Health Research and Quality.

No matter what time of day or night or season of the year, when you land in the slammer it's a cold and unforgiving place. This is the stuff of nightmares come true. And you did it to yourself. But is the experience of being arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) or drugs enough to shake you awake? Do you even know what the consequences are? Do you even care?
The answers to these questions are critical. Until you fully accept and comprehend the consequences for your actions and make a firm commitment to change your drinking and drug-taking behavior, you will remain in a state of denial.
What Happens: The Law
Without getting into too many technical details, since laws vary by state for blood alcohol content (BAC) and chemical, blood or urine tests, the simple fact is that once you are arrested for suspicion of drunk driving, DUI, combination of drugs and alcohol, they will take your license. In the state of California, by law, an arrest report, along with a copy of your suspended or revoked license, along with the sworn report is forwarded to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
The DMV conducts an administrative review to consider all the evidence, reports and results of any tests. If the suspension or revocation is upheld during the review, you have 10 days from the receipt of the revocation or suspension order to request a hearing.
At the end of your driver's license suspension or revocation, providing you pay the appropriate reissue fee and provide proof of financial responsibility to the DMV, your license will be returned to you.
If, however, you are convicted in a court case, you face additional penalties which may include jail time, fines and/or other court-imposed criminal penalties.
Bottom line, if you are arrested and convicted of DUI, felony drunk driving, driving while impaired (DWI), or felony manslaughter, you are in a world of hurt from which it will take thousands of dollars in legal fees, court costs and fines, not to mention court-required therapy and/or counseling. Your life will be changed with or without your acceptance of what's happened. Consider an arrest the first brusque slap to the face and start taking responsibility for your actions.
What Happens: Your Friends and Family
Drunk driving is like the elephant in the room, especially when it comes to friends and family. Everyone knows who the drunk driver (or drug-using driver) is, but they don't want to talk about it. They feel shame and may shun the individual no matter who it is. It can be your father or mother, your brother, sister, grandparent, nephew, niece, grandchild — it may even be you.
You are frequently left out of get-togethers of friends and family. They simply don't call, or avoid you at all costs.
Often the family clamps down, especially on teenagers, with hard and fast rules you are obligated to follow. Your privileges are taken away. Every second of your day has to be accounted for. Angry tirades and explosive outbursts make living in the situation intolerable for all concerned. You may even run away, leave home, desert your family, or live on the streets. In short, you have become a pariah. No one wants to be around you anymore. You can't be trusted. You cause trouble and pain. You may even be disowned.
The good news about family and true friends is that if you make a firm resolve to turn your life around, they will be there for you. They love you and want the best for you. That's a bonus that should inspire you to change your ways.
What Happens: Your Job
Employers won't tolerate any employee that shows up drunk or under the influence of drugs. It's not safe, either for the individual or other employees and the general public who may interact with the individual. You may have an employer that will give you a second chance, providing you seek counseling, go into rehab, or give up alcohol and/or drugs entirely. But not every employer is like that.
Most likely, you will jeopardize your job to the extent that you are fired, asked to leave or resign. If you do manage to keep your job, you will be passed over for promotions. Your recommendations and ideas won't hold any merit (since everyone knows they're coming from a known alcoholic or drug user).
Any social functions involving your job will be off limits to you. Or, you may be asked to leave a function due to your loud, boorish and antagonistic behavior.
Once you are out of a job, you're pretty much destined to live hand to mouth unless you wake up and decide to do something about the mess you've gotten yourself into. You might eventually get your old job back, or you may need to start anew somewhere else. The latter is probably better. You need a new outlook, a new chance to show you can do it without resorting to your fallback ways of drinking and doing drugs.
What Happens: Your Future
This is entirely up to you. For some individuals, it takes repeated arrests for DUI and/or drugs to make a serious dent in their consciousness. For others, a single DUI arrest is enough to do the trick. There are serious consequences, including emotional, physical, social, familial and financial consequences, to every arrest.
Can you accept that this is all your own doing? Do you have the courage to do what it takes to again be a clean and sober individual capable of taking responsibility for your actions and your life? Do you want to live free with your head held high again?
If the answer is yes, then you have reached the point of waking up. Your life and your future is in your hands. Act on your commitment and embrace your future.

What's Close to Compass?
With the beach only steps away and Kings Highway only two blocks inland, guests at Compass Cove Resort have lots of dining, shopping and entertainment options within walking distance and short drives of our Myrtle Beach hotel.
In addition to the many amenities on-site at the resort compound, visitors can find plenty to see and do in the neighborhood. Here are some of the nearby highlights you can reach by hike, bike or vehicle:
Dining: One of the best dining experiences in Myrtle Beach is just a short stroll down the beach to Damon's Oceanfront Grill. While most beachfront restaurants focus on seafood, Damon's is all about ribs – big, meaty BBQ ribs – and lots of them. Other walking-distance favorites include Angelo's, which boasts the "Greatest Steaks in the Universe", and Manny's New York Deli on Kings Highway.
Attractions: If you like golf, especially the affordable variety, you've come to the right place. Compass Cove is a short walk to the Midway Par-3 and short drive to Whispering Pines, the only municipal course in Myrtle Beach. For families who prefer the miniature variety, there are several putt-putt courses close by, including the indoor/outdoor Cancun Lagoon for those rainy or too-hot summer days and nights.
Shopping: One of the best things about staying on the south end of Myrtle Beach is the easy access to Market Common. This urban-style shopping district has blossomed into an active neighborhood of shops, as well as restaurants, parks and a theater. For essentials, there's a Food Lion grocery store and a Dollar General nearby for all the basics.
Nightlife: It's a bit of a hike to the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and parking may be a deterrent to driving, but catch a cab or a trolley to the new centerpiece of the downtown Myrtle Beach social scene. Along the 1.2-mile walkway, several oceanfront bars and restaurants have sprung up to accommodate the growing crowds. Guests can also check out Market Common after hours, as well, where popular gathering spots like King Street Grill, Nacho Hippo and Gordon Biersch Brewery are great places to gather.
Nature: Just south of Compass Cove is Myrtle Beach State Park, a scenic oceanfront setting with nature trails and undeveloped beaches. The nature center has educational programs for kids and a fishing pier provides the chance to hook a big one. Oceanfront picnic shelters are the perfect place to take a break and refuel during a day at the beach.

Like I'm talking huge!! It's big for houses in Utah, and gigantic for houses here!!, We seriously thought that her dad was a Drug Lord, because he had a 20 foot wall protecting his house and barb wire around the house and anyone that has a house like that here is a Drug Lord, but we coughed up the courage to knock on the 20 foot wall because their wasn't a front door, ya gotta get passed the wall first ;) haha her mom answered and said that Michelle still hadn't returened from school so we asked if we could teach her and she said yes, and we got to know her a little bit better, and we found out that they are catholics... super catholics, like her husband isn't a Pastor, but is a leader in the catholic church we could say he is like a Stake President or Bishop... haha and that's why he has a big house... haha because they get paid lots!!

What else is there?
2 RepliesJump to last post
What do you do when you fail?
Tired of prospecting, tired of the ups and downs, feel like the business isn't what I hoped for, can pay the bills but not really enjoying it. Dislike selling.
Does a few years of doing this transition into another position in this industry?
What do people do when they move on?
One of the questions I ask top producers when I meet them is "How long did it take you to feel like you were succeeding?"
The most common answer is 5 years and it's often 10 years before they really felt like they had made it. The reason is the sales cycle is relatively long and unpredictable for an advisor. When you meet a prospective client you never know how long it will be before he is ready to do business. So, it takes time and a lot of prospects to build a book.
The good thing is however, business is cumulatively. Assuming you are in a fee only or fee based revenue model, the clients you win today will be tomorrow's base. So, if you keep at it and continue to improve you should be able to build a profitable and sustainable book of business.
As for your question about growing into another role the answer is contingent on what type of firm you are with. If you are with an independent broker dealer you will be able to grow into an OSJ position where you'll have other advisors on your team.
You might find a couple of blog posts I recently wrote helpful:
How to shorten the sales cycle: http://www.finservmarketing.com/blog/how-to-shorten-the-sales-cycle-for-financial-advisors-and-insurance-agents

1. Check out your local crafts store for scrapbook paper varieties. (We like double-sided papers.) Choose three different patterns within a similar color palette. Two identical scrapbook papers make one art "wheel."
2. On a cutting mat, lay out your papers, cutting off the brand end tag with a scissors or crafts knife using a ruler edge to guide you. Make your first 1-inch-wide fold on a sheet. (It doesn't matter on which side you start because the paper should be square.) Fold the paper back and forth, accordion-style.
Editor Tip: Add interest to your display by mixing smaller pinwheels with the larger ones. For tiny wheels, cut your accordion-folded strips in half or smaller.
3. Fold the finished accordion strip in half and glue two sides together. Compress under a pile of old books for about 20 minutes.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 on the same patterned scrapbook paper. Once the glue has dried, pull apart the accordion to make two fans. Glue the two fans together, securing for an hour with clothespins.

Lasagna is one of my favorite dishes to make. Adding the spinach and sausage to this recipe elevates it. The sausage makes the meat lovers in the family happy. The spinach gets in that little bit of green which is always a positive.
There is always an extra person at my house. Every Sunday there is always 10-15 people to feed. Lasagna is a great make ahead meal that feeds a crowd. I love how you can start with a basic recipe and add different ingredients to make it interesting. I have done a Lasagna Bolognese that was a big hit with the family. One year for a Christmas party I did a lasagna theme. I had two different types and I still have friends asking me to do it again. I made a sage, goat cheese, and butternut squash version and then a short rib one.
This recipe has now earned its place in my regular rotation. It is a fairly simple and hearty recipe. I am sure it will earn it's place on your family table!

Lasagna with Sausage and Spinach
This lasagna is creamy and heart with sausage and spinach. Great for a family or a crowd!
If you buy the sausage in the casing make sure to squeeze it out of the casing and use a wooden spoon to crumble it into the pan.

I plug it in and it heats up (very hot)...completely depletes the battery charge and then re-charges the battery. I leave home, unplug the charger and when i get to work 20 minutes later, the battery is again (very hot) and 50% empty. This is the 2nd battery it starts approx every 3 months or so. Anyone else have similar probs? I'll call Verizon for a replacement battery again but the warrenty is only a year. Should I ask them to replace the phone?

What Is Tepezcohuite Cream
This natural skin healing cream is formulated to provide your skin with maximum moisture while simultaneously healing any irritation or burn. Great for individuals with sensitive skin and for those suffering from acne-prone skin. Can be used as an aftershave moisturizer to heal any irritation and minor nicks and cuts.
Tepezcohuite is another name for mimosa tenuiflora, a type of tree that grows in Mexico and South America. This tree is believed to have been widely used by locals as source of nutrition for livestock, as well as an herbal remedy for humans and animals alike.
Read More: Tepezcohuite Cream Actually Works
The tree is believed to have valuable skin care properties because of a high content of nutrients in its bark. Before it was formulated into a Tepezcohuite cream, the bark would often be prepared with water to wash farm animals, as it is thought to have antimicrobial properties and can induce wound healing.
In humans, the bark of the Tepezcohuite tree has been used as a natural remedy for wound healing, especially for burn victims. Scientific studies have not definitively confirmed its effectiveness, and many reports are anecdotal, it is claimed that the bark has highly potent skin regenerative abilities, and can heal burns by promoting healing and the growth of healthy skin.
Because of these skin regenerative properties, some companies have started adding Tepezcohuite extract into their creams, with the idea of keeping the skin healthy by helping it heal faster. The manufacturers often make a wide range of claims, suggesting that the Tepezcohuite cream can heal anything from eczema to stretch marks.
Use as often as you'd like. Massage gently using upward, circular motions, until fully absorbed by the skin.

Grant Denyer Denial Of Meth Addiction Is Unravelling
Grant Denyer this week denied he was in rehab for meth addiction and said he would be taking legal advice concerning the story in this week's Woman's Day.
However Woman's Day decided to fire back quickly with what looks like the knock out blow, with a person claiming to be at the rehab centre at the same time as Grant Denyer and his wife.
The article has Askin Karahan telling the magazine he had been at rehab with him. He says:
"Arriving at the rehab centre in Thailand was a blur for me. I was there for help with my drug addiction and didn't know what to expect.
It was the following day in a roomful of people in group therapy I saw Grant Denyer and his wifestand up and say they were addicted to meth.
Was I shocked to see him? To hear that? Of course I was. I knew him from the weather. I think anyone would have been shocked, but that's the thing about drugs. It takes over the best of us. Role models, actors, sportspeople, musicians, your next door neighbour…
Last year was hard for me. My mum passed away and I'd started going out a lot with my friends just to forget about it for a while. Eventually partying wasn't enough and I started taking cocaine.
It just sort of numbed everything but my family knew what was going on and they were worried about me.
It's not really about my mum, though – I don't want to play the victim here.
Plenty of people lose someone and they don't turn to drugs. That was my choice and I know I'm not blaming anything.
My family told to me get my life sorted out and a friend suggested The Cabin drug rehab, so I called them.
I spoke to their psychologist and they said their success rate was high because of their 12-step program, so a couple of days later I went. My family helped me with the $14,000 fees.
I recognised Grant as soon as I saw him. I didn't expect him to be there – would anyone? But now I understand that ice is pretty big in Australia and a lot of people are users.
Like all of us, Grant had tried and failed to get clean before.
Everyone tries and fails, but his main reason was that drugs in a relationship doesn't work. It's too unstable, so of course they wanted to get clean to save that. That's what they said.
Full story on Woman's Day website.
Grant Denyer's threats of legal action might have made it into a bigger story then it was. It is a bit like Craig Thompson whose life has now imploded since he decided to sue the Sydney Morning Herald about using his union credit cards to pay for the services of sex workers.
Interesting that Grant Hackett's father is not allowing him to be in denial about his prescription drug addiction and has been in the media saying it is true after Grant said he was in the USA at treatment centre to take some time out.

AACTA – The Best Reality TV Nominations Are A Tad Controversial
The Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards aka AACTA's have released their nominations today and the Reality TV nominations will raise some eyebrows of reality fans.
The shows nominated are Australia's Got Talent, Masterchef: The Professionals, My Kitchen Rules and The X Factor.
What is interesting is that neither The Voice or The Block were nominated and they were two of the highest rated shows of the year. Also Big Brother could have done with a look in this year as it was such a great series considering the amount of hours they had to pump out.
It is good that these things are not based on ratings alone but producers of both these shows must be pretty disappointed.

Tommy Franklin AKA Salty Rain 15 Minutes Of Fame Continues
Tommy Franklin that guy with the freaky dancing who somehow made the finale of Australia's Got Talent was walking the black carpet at the ARIA's. Yes I was surprised as well that his 15 minutes was still continuing. In the interview he says he has been speaking at schools and THAT disturbed me. Not sure he is a great role model but maybe I am just getting old and maybe he has just found his niche.
Uncle Jed the winners of Australia's Got Talent this year also were walking on the black carpet and I did get a really great interview with them but somehow stuffed up the recording. However an album will be out and they will tour.
Also when asked if professional musicians now saw reality TV shows as legitimate platform to gain recognition. Their official website is here and has upcoming news and gigs on it.

The PC incarnation of Endwar garnered a fairly mediocre reception and is probably not the best choice for a season real time strategy fan. However if you just fancy a dabble in the genre or you don't mind taking a punt or bargain games, it may be worth a look. Play are currently selling the game for £2.99, just half what the next best competitor is asking (£5.99 from Gamestation). At the price of a sandwich it's not a huge risk to take.
The game takes place in a future where the world is home to three superpowers: America, Russia and a unified Europe (I wonder what China is up to...) which make up Endwar's three playable factions. The World War III storyline is interesting but sadly is little more than a backdrop with small influence on the actual gameplay.
Endwar is something of a curiosity: a strategy game that is better on consoles than PC?! However it's no surprise when you consider that the game was designed for consoles before later being shunted onto Windows as an afterthought. On consoles the voice control felt truly innovative and was so well implemented that many players found that they didn't even miss their mouse. On the PC however, the control system feels somewhat redundant and the game as a whole, a tad tame. There's an ocean of RTS games, all jostling for attention in the world of PC games and sadly Endwar is a bit of a weak wet fish.

Wisconsin: How has Citizens United v. FEC Changed the Face of State Elections?
Helena, MT--A new report from the National Institute on Money in State Politics, Independent Spending in Wisconsin, 2010, reveals how independent political spending changed in Wisconsin since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Citizens United v. FEC in January 2010. Prior to the ruling, corporations and unions in Wisconsin were banned from making independent expenditures. After the ruling, the state ended enforcement of the ban. Now Wisconsin only regulates express—or direct—advocacy spending, referred to as independent expenditures. Money spent on electioneering communications (issue ads), is not reported in Wisconsin.
Institute researchers identified top independent spenders, which races were targeted, and how much was spent in the 2010 election. This report covers only the 2010 election because data for previous years is unavailable or incomplete. Of the 125 seats on the state ballot in 2010, 120 were targeted by independent spenders. Twenty-nine entities independently spent a total of $9.8 million, which is only a quarter of the $38.7 million raised directly by candidates. The top four spenders (Republican Governors Association, Greater Wisconsin Committee, Wisconsin Education Association Council, Republican State Leadership Committee) accounted for 85 percent ($8.3 million) of the independent spending. Three of the four top spenders also gave direct contributions in 2010, but their independent spending greatly exceeded the amount they gave directly to Wisconsin candidates.
The open governor's race attracted more than $6 million of the total spent independently. More than half of all independent spending in 2010—nearly $5.4 million—was spent in opposition to three of the eight targeted candidates who vied for the open governor's seat.
It is not possible, however, to draw comprehensive conclusions about the correlation between Wisconsin's election outcomes and the money spent independently, because of the lack of disclosure on money spent on electioneering communications.
The nonprofit, nonpartisan National Institute on Money in State Politics collects and analyzes campaign contribution information on state-level candidates, political party committees, and ballot committees. Its free, searchable database of contributions is online at FollowTheMoney.org.

STARKVILLE -- Starkville Academy and Central Academy posted the only victories Saturday by local teams at the Starkville Academy tournament at the Mississippi State Recreation Complex.
Oak Hill and Heritage Academy lost both of their games in the tournament.
Starkville Academy opened the day with a 6-4 victory against Central Academy, but it lost its next two games to Leake Academy (2-1) and to Pillow Academy and was ousted from the double-elimination event.
"It has been a long week. We played seven games in the last nine days and I think it is a good start for us," Starkville Academy coach Jessica Dickens said. "I am pretty pleased with where we are and where we are heading, and I am proud of the girls. They never quit and played hard despite fatigue. They''re getting mentally tough."
Dickens also praised the pitching performances of junior Julianne Jackson. She said Jackson will get two days off before taking the circle at 4 p.m. Tuesday when the team plays host to Washington School for its home opener.
"This last week has prepared us for what were going to see in conference. We have seen some good pitching," Dickens said.
Starkville Academy beat Kemper Academy 3-1 on Thursday and lost to Leake Academy 1-0 on Friday.
For Central Academy, Kellie Hailey had two doubles, Blake Rigdon had a single and a double, and Kendall Taylor singled against Starkville Academy.
The Lady Vikings rebounded in their next game for a 13-4 victory against Heritage Academy. Hailey had a single and a triple, and Rigdon, Taylor, Sadie Lindsey, and Katie Cumberland singled.
Winston Academy eliminated Central Academy with an 8-4 victory.
Rigdon had two singles and Megan Banks had a single.
"My little girls are hanging in there," Central Academy coach Sammy Lindsey. "Everything is promising and looking good. We just have to turn those close losses into wins."
Paige Buchanan pitched all three games for the Lady Vikings.
On Thursday, Central Academy lost to Winston Academy 13-10.
Kendall Taylor had a triple, and Hailey, Rigdon, and Kayla Brown singled.
Central Academy plays host to Oak Hill Academy on Tuesday.

The hikes in fresh vegetable prices are the most obvious signs for many Floridians that the exceptionally cold weather this winter has taken a big bite out of the produce supply chain.
Green bean prices have tripled in North Florida. Mustard greens are hard to find at any price. Cabbage is now going for 69 cents a pound, way more than the three-pounds-for-$1 usually available in January.
The hikes in fresh vegetable prices are the most obvious signs for many Floridians that the exceptionally cold weather this winter has taken a big bite out of the produce supply chain.
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services has estimated 2.5 million cartons or cases of fruits and vegetables were lost during December — not including processed citrus. Officials said another 4 million cartons of produce are expected to be lost before the end of March.
Those losses translate into more than $150 million of lost cash sales so far, according to agriculture department spokesman Sterling Ivey.
In an e-mail on Thursday morning, Ivey also said that the total losses between December and March will likely top $150 million in cash sales losses, which will result in total economic losses of $370 million. The total estimated losses include expenses for items like labor and fuel that are needed to grow a crop.
Some of the heaviest losses have been reported by those growing bell peppers, cucumbers, eggplant and sweet corn. The preliminary estimates show nearly a million bushels of bell peppers alone were lost to the cold.
Ivey said his agency will take another close look at recovery and production rates later this month. County-by-county breakdowns of losses are not expected for a few more months.
Agriculture and Natural Resources extension agent Barton Wilder said some of the blame for this winter's crop problems also goes to the unseasonably hot weather during the fall.
"If you remember, we had a lot of hot weather this fall — it was hot when a lot of people were planting (winter) vegetables and so they got very poor stands to begin with," Wilder said. Then, the vegetable crop was stressed further by the cold and rain in December and so far this month.
Wilder estimated that in North Central Florida about 50 percent of the mustard greens, 40 percent of collards, 64 percent of beans and 30 percent of cauliflower have been destroyed by the weather.
At Ward's Market in Gainesville, produce manager Craig Smouse said produce prices have just "jumped, jumped and jumped" because of supply and demand.
"If you can find green beans, they are $60 a bushel instead of $20 or $30 like usual at this time of year," Smouse said. Right now we should be getting everything — all the produce — from Florida, but that just won't happen this year."
State agriculture officials said the damage estimates will likely grow even larger before the winter growing season ends in March.
The size of the losses concern state officials because agriculture, including animals and plants, is Florida's second largest industry — behind tourism — and has a total annual economic impact on the state of just over $100 billion, officials said.
A major crop that sustained relatively minimal damage is the strawberry crop. Officials said strawberries are very cold-tolerant and can usually be protected from the cold by misting or watering. Also, some cold weather is desirable, according to berry growers, because it tends to sweeten strawberries as they near maturity. Initial estimates show berry growers probably lost about 25,000 cases out of the approximately 19 million that will be grown this season.
The cold weather that caused significant crop damage was record-setting, according to the National Weather Service, something that growers said became obvious in early December.
According to Jason Hess, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Jacksonville, it was "the coldest December throughout northern Florida."
More cold is headed for the Sunshine State over the weekend. The cold will follow a rainy system into North Florida.
The rain will move out by this evening, making way for a cold air mass to deliver a hard freeze to many parts of North Central Florida on Sunday morning, especially to areas west of U.S. 301, including parts of Alachua and Marion counties.
A second cold front is due on Tuesday and will also be accompanied by showers and possibly a few thunderstorms.

Delta Phi Epsilon Educational Foundation
The Foundation raises, manages and awards funds to provide undergraduate and graduate scholarships to our sisters. It also provides grants to support our innovative educational and leadership programs.
The National Association for Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD)
As the first international sorority to pledge regular support to ANAD, Delta Phi Epsilon began its commitment and formal affiliation with ANAD in 1985. This followed a decision of the delegates at the 1983 Convention that it was time to change philanthropic projects to 'better reflect the needs of young people today.'
Since our founding, Delta Phi Epsilon has placed importance on celebrating individuality and valuing someone for who they are, not what they look like. Sisters of Delta Phi Epsilon educate, advocate, and raise funds for ANAD. We are ambassadors for healthy attitudes, bodies, and behaviors on campus and within the community.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF)
Cystic Fibrosis, a genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system, was virtually unknown to the general population until 1955. It was then that a group of parents formed CFF to be the driving force in pursuit of a cure. One of those parents was Phyllis Kossoff, a sister of Delta Phi Epsilon, Delta Chapter at Hunter College.
In 1957, Phyllis came to Convention and shared her endeavors, resulting in the partnership our sisters so passionately support today. Delta Phi Epsilon has donated over $1 million to research in hopes of making CF stand for Cure Found.

"Cui bono", "Follow the money", and "Follow the status"
"Cui bono" is a Latin phrase meaning "Who benefits?" Its use usually indicates that everything may not be as it seems. It suggests we dig deeper in two ways:
1) The answer to who benefits may not be immediately obvious. It may take at least some cogitation, and perhaps some investigation, to uncover this.
2) If a person or entity benefits from some turn of events, they may be playing a role in pushing events to take that turn to their advantage, even though it may not be immediately obvious how.
A related phrase is "Follow the money". It too suggests we dig deeper in a couple of ways:
1) It can be a special case of "who benefits?" Specifically, who financially benefits?
2) If a person or entity has spent money, they must have received something in return which they perceive to be of greater value to themselves. What is that?
Another currency of human motivation is status. Thus, in some situations it would be equally or more useful to say: "Follow the status" for two reasons:
1) Status is also a universal currency of human motivation and is pertinent in situations where, for whatever reason, money is not in question (or at least doesn't seem to be).
2) Money and resources may flow from status.
On the other hand, money has the useful property that its exchanges are objectively knowable and traceable in principle. Even an exchange of cash is something a fly on the wall could see if it were there.
One might think that status exists in the eyes of other people and should also be observable. However, the person or entity may only care about status within a select circle of people. It would take some effort for an outsider to understand what is the relevant circle and what confers status within it. In the extreme case, status may only exist in one person's own mind. Only by keen observation and perhaps by winning the trust of that person can another person find out the role of status here.
Last week I saw Steve Pinker speak at the Long Now Foundation about The Decline in Violence, summarizing his book The Better Angels of Our Nature. Gathering a lot of data from many sources, he demonstrated that on average, violence has declined over the long term, despite what one might think by watching the news. He posited that one of the reasons was the greater availability of fiction, history, and journalism, enabling people to empathize with and understand others. This led Saheli Datta to muse earlier this week on the role of fiction in developing critical thinking. Above I tried to express in principle some of the most useful lessons from fiction, history, and journalism. As in most cases, going through examples is nearly essential to being able to apply the theory; fiction, history, and journalism supply such examples in abundance.

PARIS (AFP) – A new treatment for obesity that combines two existing drugs resulted in twice as much weight loss as the only approved long-term anti-obesity medication, according to a study released Monday.
A mix of Phentermine and topiramate, sold under the brand name of Topamax, was shown in clinical trials to be twice as effective as orlistat, which is commercialised in some countries as Xenical or Alli, it said.
The drug combo appears to have additional health benefits, including improved "markers," or indicators, for blood pressure, sugar levels, lipids and inflammation, it added.
Phentermine is the most widely prescribed short-term weight drug in the United States.
Topiramate is an anticonvulsant approved for treating seizure disorders and migraines. It has been shown to work well for weight loss in obese patients with type 2 diabetes, but -- taken alone -- has also been linked to cognitive and psychiatric side effects.
Lower doses taken with a controlled-release mechanism and in combination with other drugs would likely reduce those side effects, tests have shown.
Led by Kishore Cadde of the Duke University Medical Centre, in Durham, North Carolina, the new trial was conducted over 20 months with nearly 2,500 overweight or obese adults with at least two major health-risk symptoms.
The patients were divided into three groups.
One was given a once-a-day dose of 7.5 mg of Phentermine and 46 mg of topiramate, while a second group was given 15 and 92 mg of the same drugs, respectively.
The third group were given look-alike placebos.
After 56 weeks of treatment, the low-dose group dropped, on average, 8.1 kilos (18 pounds) while the high-dose group shed 10.2 kilos (22 pounds).
Patients given placebos lost 1.4 kilos (3.0 pounds).
Overall, 62 percent of the low-dose patients lost at least five percent of body weight, while 70 percent in the high-dose cohort crossed the same threshold.
Patients given placebos lost 1.4 kilos (3.0 pounds), with 21 percent sloughing five percent off their total weight.
The two-drug treatment was well tolerated physically, with only sporadic cases of dry mouth and constipation, according to the study, which is published by The Lancet.
The high-dose group, however, showed a higher dropout rate due to adverse cognitive and psychiatric reactions.

This morning I went out to take a few pictures of Joon with her new man. Over the weekend we brought home a Nigerian Dwarf Buck, his name is "Cowboy". The owner is the same farm where I got Snowdrop from, and she agreed to let him come here for a month trial. We're doing a trial mostly for my husband who hasn't wanted a buck on our farm, so we can see if he can endure the smell and their ways. If Cowboy has good buck behavior he may just get to stay... cross my fingers. I put Joon in with him yesterday and she didn't want to leave she was enjoying his attention and crooning in her ear. That was after watching him wear himself out chasing her, and her running and head butting him. I got to learn first-hand about courting goats. She should be in full heat today or tomorrow.
I thought for sure Joon must have had enough after a half hour, but no, she wouldn't come out, I tried several times, and in the end let them stay until this morning, they were both having so much fun. I put her back in with her buddies for several hours and will try again this afternoon. What we're looking for here is a standing heat, then she'll stand still for him to breed her. When new to this whole thing it's a bit of a mystery at first and running back and forth with a doe to a bucks farm is frustrating. Joon is also the kind of doe who wants to know who the buck is first, and she wants him to court her properly. Our last attempt at breeding, she couldn't get away from the buck fast enough. With Cowboy she's in love!
Cowboy is about 7 months old, and is from Poppy Patch Farm, he has Rosharon, Algedi, Twin Creeks, and Ponders End in his blood lines. Joon also has good bloodlines, her official name is Sugarcreek Joon, and she has Sugarcreek, Spring Run, Enchanted Hill and Velvet Acres. One good thing if I keep Cowboy is that I could breed him to Snowdrop in the Spring when she's old enough.
The bright winter sun shines right on the goats, chickens and rabbits in the morning and early afternoon , we situated their housing to take advantage of the morning sun in the winter when we all need it the most. I enjoy feeding and milking in sunshine when it's out.
Everyone was happy to welcome Cowboy to Applegarth Farm.

Consensus is defined as a general agreement, an accord and harmony regarding the project's direction or stakeholder feedback. Gloria Larson shares her stories of being a community leader and having to take on several projects that required gaining a consensus of board members, communities, and business owners. Jim Johnson shares with Gloria some of the mistakes that can be made during negotiation such as coming into with a position and holding that position to being emotionally attached. People also are not listening or hearing. It's a valuable skill that isn't used enough in our society these days. Everyone wants to use their voice but no one wants to use their ears. Gloria Larson advises to look for common ground instead. Try to figure out how to merge each others needs and ways to connect. Jim Johnson, Rick and Steve also talk about "Log Jamming" which is when two parties are having a hard time finding common ground, and Gloria Lawson agrees that sometimes the best thing to do is just leave the room, take a break and give people a chance to digest the conversation.
Between being a board member for the Boston Convention Center and getting agreement to build the Institute of Contemporary Art on Boston's Historic Waterfront in the face of powerful opposition Gloria Lawson has proved she has mastered her consensus skills. On top of all of this, Gloria Cordes Larson is President of Bentley University. Ms. Larson served as Massachusetts Secretary of Economic Affairs, Massachusetts Secretary of Consumer Affairs, and Chairman of the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority. She served as a Deputy Director of Consumer Protection of the Federal Trade Commission. She was a partner of Foley, Hoag and Eliot LLP, a law firm. Ms. Larson holds several board positions. Ms. Larson graduated from Vassar College and earned her law degree at the University of Virginia.

Join The Powerful New Eating Psychology Movement
This post contains affiliate links to other websites, meaning I'll get a percentage of any purchases you make after clicking through them. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION
The conscious, holistic, sustainable living movement is very interested in natural food. We've been becoming more and more aware of the role and effect of food in our lives. We believe in having positive person and body image. We want to address the core of the problem and treat the whole person, in the most natural and uncomplicated ways.
We know that the food we've been eating for a long time is a mess. But we're making it better too. We understand so much more about how nutrition affects our biology and even mental health, and there's always more to learn. We know that foods can cause physical illnesses, and that people can even have fatal allergic responses to them.
Lots of People are Seeking Help With the Problem.Obesity, food allergies and eating disorders are a massive problem and because of this health and wellness coaches are more in demand than any other coaching specialization. The health and wellness coaching niche is one of the biggest, most lucrative, and fastest growing areas of all. There are also thousands of different positions for health coaches now at corporations, fitness centers, spas, yoga retreats, and similar organizations everywhere in the world. If you're a health and wellness writer already, your Qualification in Eating Psychology with The Institute for the Psychology of Eating would be at the leading edge.
Knowing and Doing
The confidence that's brought about by the right understanding and circumstances can give us happiness in all areas of life! and even if we haven't had that about some things in the past, we can go ahead and have that now.
You don't have to be perfect to help other people. Everyone helps everyone all the time.
The Bigger the Problem, the More Powerful the Solution.The Institute for the Psychology of Eating addresses all of these problems in the most unique and powerful way. Their Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training is a powerful, information rich, 8 month, 250 hour distance learning professional program that provides you with a strong skill-set and the confidence to work with the most common and compelling eating concerns of our times.
As well as being the world's leading school in the practical aspects of nutrition, The Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training is based on the most up to date scientific knowledge about the mind-body connection. There are scientific reasons at the forefront of biology and psychology which demonstrate the extent of the mind body link and how confidence, mindfulness and self acceptance affects physical healing in the body as well as introducing desire for and anticipation and enjoyment of practical change.
The Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training is at the apex of an understanding that the holistic wellness movement has been coming to for a long time, and they're taking applications now for enrollment for their current upcoming course running from October 2017 - May 2018.
They are running a webinar now, every hour for you to see what they're offering and decide. Places are limited, and it's special and therefore relatively expensive. But if you like it, and you want to do it, they give you ideas for raising the money and explain how quickly you can make it back through coaching when you've got the training. I've seen the webinar and I can't describe how excellent it is.
The conscious and sustainable living movement holds high standards that we encourage each other towards in whatever ways we feel comfortable doing. We believe in facing our problems and being positive about our differences, our bodies, and ourselves, the crappy, lovely, human way we are. Because we know that self acceptance and authenticity, honesty and understanding, at least within ourselves is the only way to do that. As the Buddha said "No one can help us but ourselves". It's completely true. But if you keep putting the information out there, the way he did, there'll be people all over the world like us who will be ready for it.
Are YOU inspired to step up and serve others in a heartfelt and powerful way?
"Our training features two powerful and important new fields – Dynamic Eating Psychology and Mind Body Nutrition. These provide an unprecedented foundation that positions you to serve clients like never before.
The training is delivered via an easy-to-use multimedia platform that features videos, audios, slideshows, handouts, notes, protocols, live teleclasses, recommended readings, online forums, and an optional live event.

We believe this is the way school should be – practical, authentic, inspiring, transformational and fun!"
I'm vegan and I do eat very healthily compared to most people, but I'm interested in this because I want to lose weight now too. I'm qualified and advanced in some holistic therapies, so I do understand the mind-body connection. I know that I've responded to stress before, by either losing weight or putting it on, and that feeling happier was really what got me back to a normal weight again. Do you understand that? Have a look.
There's lots of people writing amazing things about veganism and nutrition, but I'll be writing more about natural food in other posts soon, so keep a lookout.
Please share this if you know someone who might be especially interested in this!
You can sign up to email list here!

Academic journal article Military Review
In Defense of Japan: From the Market to the Military in Space Policy
Article excerpt
IN DEFENSE OF JAPAN: From the Market to the Military in Space Policy, Saadia M. Pekkanen and Paul Kallender-Umezu, Stanford University Press. Stanford, CA, 2010, 377 pages, $55.00.
How Japan's defense policies have developed and where those policies are headed has been a frequent topic of discussion among Japan specialists for decades, with realists claiming it was only a matter of time before Japan converted a portion of its vast wealth into military power. Japan became the third wealthiest country in the world in 1968, behind only the United States and the Soviet Union, and it is third again this year. (China's GDP has edged past Japan's.)
As the decades rolled on and Japan did not emerge as a military superpower, other observers aside from the realists made their voices heard, saying that Japan had developed anti-militarist norms and was therefore unlikely to march to the sound of guns anytime soon.
Even so, Japan does have impressive military capabilities in its Self-Defense Forces. The most convincing and recent constructivist take on this seeming dilemma is from Andrew Oros, who discusses Japan's security identity, which he describes as "domestic antimilitarism," in his book, Normalizing Japan. While Oros' thesis is convincing as a description of the attitudes of Japanese society as a whole, other authors, like Mike Green and Richard Samuels, have convincingly traced the realist policies of many important Japanese policymakers.
So Japan's defense policy, like perhaps most such policies, is a mixture of realistic pragmatism within norms-based constraints. Authors Saadia Pekkanen and
Paul Kallender-Umezu have added nuance to this picture in their excellent case study on Japan's space policy. …

*wipes off dirt and grime off blog*
Yep, I'm back. After almost a year of not blogging. Too many has happened since my last entry, career change, expanding family and growing children... I won't even attempt to tackle them all in one go.. but hopefully, if I can manage to blog on a regular basis from now on, I'll fill you in bit by bit. As crazy as life gets, that writing itch has not left me, and I pray it never will. Hence the sudden entries such as this to break the silence.. hehe.
So, what's new?
Well, as of the last quarter of 2012, I did a complete 180 degree career change. I went from property line, to aesthetics (cue shocked gasp). An utterly different whole new world at first, but as I go along I realize that at the end of the day, the concept of work and business is really the same, no matter what the genre may be. I mean, I've met a guy who used to sell fish and cars, and is now an aesthetics sales rep. And a damn good one, too. If he can do it, why can't I?
So here I am, in one of the most prestigious shopping malls in KL dabbling in marketing and management in the aesthetics industry. Despite being a newbie, I've always had an interest in aesthetics and beauty. Previously, I was more into skincare and cosmetics... partly out of curiosity and partly driven by the need to beautify my acne-prone plain jane self. It has always fascinated me how some women can go out looking absolutely gorgeous au naturale, sans make-up. I've always assumed that some people are just blessed with good genes and overall unproblematic skin, but now that I'm in the business of beauty, I've come to realize that most still had to do some form of "maintenance" to look that good, whether its the right skincare, some anti-aging treatments, a proper prescription facial or at the very least, a specific combo of a healthy diet and supplements.
Anyway, the past couple of weeks have been abit trying for me. I've started to cut down on breastfeeding as a way to help my 1 yr 9 mth old toddler wean off breastmilk. As expected, the hormonal changes have wreaked havoc on my skin. Suffice to say, I started to re-live the "wonderful" days of teenage skin -- the acne, the sebum, the pores.. yikes. It was so bad that even my 5 yr old daughter pointed out my flaws... in public. You gotta love a kid's point blank straightforwardness, right? huhu.
I had to do something, anything, and pronto! My next facial treatment is weeks away, and early next month there's an event I need to look great in. I turned to the doctor I'm working for for help. She suggested that I try out the clinic's brand new Repair & Renew Signature Facial. It consists of a transdermotherapy serum from Dermclar, formulated with natural active biological ingredients to target those pesky pimples and acne scars; and the SRS e-CO2 mask, famous for its wondrous healing and tissue regeneration properties.
At first I was abit skeptical about this facial. Truth be told, I've been through enough facials and skincare with way too many disappointments to believe any one product can have such an amazing effect on my skin. There are just too many serums out there... how would we know what works and what doesn't? And a mask that regenerates skin tissue? Sounds too good to be true. But since the pesky acne was starting to interfere with my work and social life, I decided to have a go at it.
Here is my honest-to-goodness experience.
First, my make-up was removed and my skin was cleansed thoroughly. Next, the therapist applied a mild chemical peel to remove the dull, dead skin. As the peel was applied, I felt a tingling sensation followed by a slight sting that quickly subsided as the therapist fanned my face to make me more comfortable. After 3 minutes, the peel was washed off with water.
Next comes the interesting part of the facial. The therapist took out one vial of ACNOL serum from the Dermclar Biological range to be applied on my face. I was told that this serum is a good anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory product that helps heal acne wounds and scars. Perfect for the my skin's current condition. The serum was applied topically, bit by bit, one area at a time, using an iontophoresis machine. This machine's mild electric current helps skin absorb applied serums and vitamins better as it stimulates circulation and allows the serum to penetrate into skin's deeper layers.
|ACNOL Dermclar Biological Serum
|Iontophoresis Machine
What's interesting is what happened immediately upon application. My acne started to heal, almost instantly! The impurities came out without having to go through painful extractions, and the wounds began to heal. I know, coz the curious cat in me asked for a mirror and I watched the results myself. The big big pimples I had before the facial shrunk to half its size... hurrah!
|SRS e-CO2 Mask
Once the whole vial was finished, came the final step of the facial. The infamous e-CO2 mask. Each mask came in a pack that consists of e-CO2 granules and gel that is then mixed together to form a glue-like paste. This mask paste was then applied thickly and evenly to my face, and left on for 30 minutes. Almost instantly, I can feel all the inflamed skin from the healing acne wounds start to subside. My skin felt soothed and I even managed to catch a few winks while I waited for the mask to do its magic. After half an hour, the mask is then removed by applying a gelifying foam that transforms the mask into an easy-to-peel gel. I immediately asked for a mirror to see the results... and boy, was I pleasantly surprised!
The results:
|NOTE: The Before photo is with make-up on, After is without make-up
The open wounds from the healing acne was completely healed! The wounds closed up, and looked as if it had taken a week to heal, not 30 minutes. All the painful pimples, both new and old have shrunk/subsided, and my pores have shrunk dramatically. Plus! My skin tone and pigmentation has improved... All that's left is a fresh and shiny, dewy new skin that made me look like I had a nice weekend of R&R in a spa. All this, in a facial no more than an hour. I was so, so happy with the results!
I went home smiling from ear to ear that day. I couldn't stop bragging about my skin (which is really saying something coz I'm usually my own worst critic). What's even more surprising is that even after a few days, my skin feels softer than it felt immediately after the treatment. Continuous regeneration perhaps? Dunno... but whatever it is, I'm lovin' it! For those who have been plagued with acne all their life, you should definitely try this facial out. Me, I'm already planning my next one.. hehe.
For those who're interested to find out more about this facial, you can do so by calling Faceworks Clinic at 03-2144 0080, or check out their facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/FaceworksClinic. I highly recommend you get a proper consultation with Faceworks in-house aesthetic physician first to decide what's the best treatment for you.
Till next entry then, my lovelies, toodles!
