President of Canada Law From Abroad
B.Comm., D. PIR., F.CIS., LL.B/J.D., M.S.Sc., M.A. (Jud. Admin.)
Academic Background and Professional Designations
With 26 years total experience practicing law and being a law professor, John is one of Canada's leading UK law degree accreditation expert and advocate in Canada. In 2006, he created Canada Law From Abroad to provide an international bridge for Canadian students who are frustrated with the barriers and costs of Canadian law schools. Canada Law From Abroad gives students the opportunity to obtain a first-rate legal education in top-tier U.K. law schools; the birthplace of the common law system and home to the great law schools of the world.
During John's time as a college law professor, one of his primary roles was to develop cutting-edge programs for the professional services market. He has been instrumental in opening doors for students who want to pursue professional legal careers in Canada and internationally. Providing students with innovative, international, legal educational opportunities is the key to opening these doors to the new global legal services market.
John took a leadership role lobbying all political parties in the Ontario government to include The Law Society of Upper Canada (LSUC) in the 'Fair Access To Regulated Access Act' (FARPA). Passage of this legislation in 2008 ensures that the accreditation of 'abroad' law degrees must be done in a manner that is "fair and objective" based on the same standards as Canadian law degrees.
John Kelly's Publication
We encourage you to read John's recently published book, A Matter of Degree LLB – Large Legal Bills & JD – Justice Denied: Diagnosis of the Cause and Prescription for the Cure. This gives an informed opinion on how to leverage the 'UK Law School Advantage' to access cutting edge international legal education that will open career doors for you in the new global legal services marketplace.

Yours Ch. 03byBackyardBottomslash©
All characters are over 18 and fictional.
I'd like to thank everyone who left comments and sent emails. The support for this story has been overwhelming and I appreciate every message, whether complimentary or critical.
I'd also like to thank everyone for being so patient. It can be very difficult for me to find the motivation to write, and even when I do, I find myself re-writing over and over in order to produce the best work I can.
I'll endeavour to work a little faster in future.
There was a soft knock at the door.
It was just after midnight, and Jessica had come to be with me again, as she put it.
"Come in." I said.
The door opened and Jessica slipped in, closing it quietly behind her.
She was wearing a negligee, the exact shape and design as the black one she usually wore, except this one was red. I took in the thin weave that showed off her body and matching panties, the short hem that drew the eye to her long and sexy legs, and of course the dark red bust that gave her the most magnificent cleavage. I knew before I looked that she'd painted her toenails to match.
I looked back at my laptop screen, ignoring her for now. I'd gotten a taste of this last week. Just making her wait was so appealing to me. This was a girl that on many occasions had called me a "retard" for slurring my words or stuttering the slightest amount, following with the phrase "Don't waste my time." We were kids then, but it was stupid little things like this that still stuck with me.
Now I could waste her time all I wanted.
Before she'd arrived, I'd been surfing aimlessly on the internet for a few hours going from link to link, reading about basically anything I found interesting. I did this a lot, and ended up learning about a pretty wide variety of useless crap. The internet was a big place. A lot of opportunities to waste time.
"Hi." she said softly.
"Get on your knees and shut up." I said calmly, without looking.
She did as I asked, and I continued to click and read for a while. But I couldn't really concentrate when she was there.
Last week had been disturbing for me. At first it was my own rage that I obsessed over, the absolute cruelty I'd unleashed on Jessica's body. She told me later, when Rose wasn't around, that the bruises still hadn't healed by Wednesday. But it was her telling me this that helped me get over it. She didn't whimper it out, afraid. She didn't hiss it at me, angry. Her tone was one of pure excitement, and almost pride.
It became clear to me that she could take so much more punishment than I'd thought.
No, what disturbed me here was how I'd spoken to her. I'd cuddled her, let her sleep with me, called her "sweetheart" for God's sake. This wasn't the relationship I wanted. I'd rationalised over and over that we could have both the cruelty and the kindness, but I felt we definitely needed more of the former.
All week she'd been looking at me. Subtly watching me when she thought I wasn't paying attention to her. I'd been sitting with her and Rose, and getting to know their friends some more had been... not horrible, anyway. But since she'd admitted to being "mine", I felt her eyes on me far too much. Every time I looked at her I'd see her glance quickly away with some stupid, love-struck little smile on her face. It was unacceptable, despite the charge it gave me.
In our conversations with Rose nothing had changed, but it really felt like we were getting too close. I finally had a grip on our relationship. She claimed to be in love with me, but I didn't have to let that mean anything. She accepted that she belonged to me, and that was how I wanted things to continue. I owned her.
So I made her wait.
And wait.
I wanted so badly to look at her, and I knew she'd just be watching me, so I made her wait a little longer.
The tension was ridiculous. After a little over half an hour, I slowly closed my laptop.
I let out a long sigh and finally looked at her.
She was still kneeling, eyes locked onto mine. Last week I'd criticised her posture, but now she was sitting upright, back perfectly straight, and hands folded on her lap. She was such a fast learner.
"Come here." I said.
Without breaking her gaze, she leaned forward and slowly crawled over to the side of the bed.
"Up." I said, pointing to my legs.
I pulled the covers off as she silently climbed up. She stared at me, eyes wide as she waited for my next instruction. She glanced at my crotch a few times and her hands clenched into fists. She was anxious. She was so open with her emotions sometimes, her hope and anticipation obvious on her face. She was practically begging without even speaking.
"Suck me." I said harshly.
She let out an excited squeak and quickly obeyed, sliding her fingers under my waistband and yanking down my underwear. Within seconds she was holding my soft cock in her trembling fingers and licking slowly along my shaft.
I leaned back against my headboard and put my arms behind my head, staring across the room and out my window at the night sky. It was December, and Christmas was only a few weeks away. The weather had been threatening snow, but so far it had been clear.
I was trying to set up an atmosphere between Jessica and I. I ignored her, then only used short commands to order her, and now I wasn't even looking at her while she went down on me. I wanted to seem more detached than before, after everything last week. I wanted to make some more distance between us.
I could see the bright green of her eyes staring up at me, but I refused to look down. Instead, I leaned back and closed my eyes, focusing on the pleasure she was giving me.
She'd started the same as always, soft kisses and licks along the shaft and head to get me hard, which didn't take long, before sucking me into her mouth. She was using hard, strong licks against the head which felt amazing, and soon she was sucking in her cheeks to give that intense pressure that I loved. Usually I would start breathing heavier, or sighing, but I resisted making any noise.
She kept sucking me in deeper and deeper each time until I was completely inside her tight throat, my balls pressed against her chin. She held it there for a few seconds before pulling back up and licking around the head again.
She kept this up for around five minutes without me making a single sound, strong licks against the head broken up by slowly deep-throating me. I could feel her determination to get a reaction out of me. She held my cock in her throat for a little longer each time, and her licks got more insistent and varied.
She was really getting good at this. Well, that was an understatement. She was good before, and due to my lack of experience every new blowjob from her automatically became the best one ever as she learned how to better use her tongue and throat to please me. But I kept control of myself, not wanting to let her know the extent of the pleasure she was giving me.
After a few minutes more I heard, and felt, her moan slightly in the back of her throat. She inhaled my cock again, and this time just held it there. After maybe 30 seconds I thought she would pull up, but she didn't. She just stayed there, not breathing, my thick shaft pushed into her pulsing throat.
A few seconds later she quickly slid off my cock and started panting heavily. She barely waited at all before sucking in a large breath and taking me into her mouth again. I couldn't help a small sigh at the sensation of being taken to the base so quickly and enthusiastically. And again, she held it. The seconds ticked on and on, far past the point I thought she'd have to come up for air.
Her eyes were closed, her expression a picture of concentration, but her face was bright red. She was practically choking herself on my cock.
Her eyes suddenly shot open and her head jerked upwards. She inhaled deeply and started coughing, probably choking on her own saliva. She never let go of my cock, even as she turned her head and continued to cough violently. There were tears in her eyes, but ones of discomfort, not emotion.
After she seemed to get her breath back, she looked at me.
"Sorry." she croaked, "I-"
I interrupted her with a light slap to her face. She seemed stunned at the sudden pain.
"Did I give you permission to speak?" I asked quietly.
She shook her head, eyes wide open in shock, her hand lifting to her face.
I'd actually been practising my slaps, as odd as that sounds. By hitting my own legs and arms, I'd figured out the right amount of force I had to use to sting without seriously hurting, or even bruising. I didn't put much weight into it, instead using mostly my fingers. It stung like hell, but it the mark faded quickly. I'd had to test that on my own face to know for sure, and I'd felt pretty stupid doing it.
I wasn't trying to cause her serious pain. It was like biting her lip, or pulling her hair. It was just meant to shock her, and humiliate her. I'd learned the previous week how powerful real pain was, how deeply it affected her.
And now I had the belt for that.
The silence had stretched between us. It was a few seconds before I realised that she was waiting for another command, or a punishment.
"Back to work." I said, leaning back. "And try not to choke on it this time." I added, condescendingly.
I closed my eyes and she started again. She moved slower this time and soon figured out a good pattern. Rather than just holding my cock in her throat she swallowed it over and over, going from tip to base and back in one continuous motion. She soon sped up and I let out a satisfied moan. She moaned excitedly in response, and moved even faster.
I'd held off as long as I could, and I knew I wouldn't last much longer. I grabbed her chin and pulled her head up so that just the head of my cock was left in her mouth. She didn't stop her insistent licking until I sighed at my release. I pushed my head back into my pillows, and thrust my hips forward as I came. She gripped my shaft with both hands as I filled her mouth with cum which she gratefully swallowed, purring with pleasure as she did.
My dick began to soften but her tongue kept moving. Soon I was rock hard again, and only then did she stop. I opened my eyes to look at her. She was kneeling, back straight, staring at me. Waiting.
I slowly sat up, then got to my knees in front of her. Our bodies were almost touching, and I could feel her breath on my shoulder. She looked up at me, her beautiful emerald eyes shining.
"Strip and get on your back." I said roughly.
She reacted so quickly it was almost funny, desperately struggling out of her thin negligee and throwing it to the floor. She lunged forward and span onto her back, thrusting her hips out and slipping out of her damp panties.
She lay in the centre of the bed, completely naked, her legs spread and her pussy soaked. I caught the scent of her arousal and felt my cock twitch in response. She ran her hand down her stomach and eagerly pushed her hips forward, desperate for contact but not daring to touch herself. I leaned over her and my hands found their familiar positions, my right brushing up through her hair and my left resting gently around her throat.
I held her like this for just a few seconds, enjoying the anticipation in her eyes. I reached down and grabbed my cock, pressing it against her wet pussy. Normally I made her beg for this, but I didn't have time to wait. Every time we did this I wanted her more. I pushed into her hard, quickly filling her inrecdibly tight pussy with half of my shaft.
"Yesss..." she groaned out in pleasure.
I had to struggle not to join her with a moan of my own. As I slowly filled her she started demonstrating the results of her "exercises", the muscles of her hot pussy gripping and squeezing along my cock. I sighed with pleasure and slowly fucked her, my hips finding a comfortable rhythm.
She let out a small moan each time I filled her, and I found myself wanting to move faster just to hear it. I revelled in the mixture of pleasure and pain she expressed as I twisted her hair in my hand. I loved seeing her like this, so different from her normal self. Her eyes were closed and she was biting her lip hard. I could tell she was already close to orgasm, after only a few minutes.
I wanted to see her cum, but I wanted to tease her even more. I increased my speed and her whole body tensed, desperately seeking the approaching release. She let out a loud moan, and I knew she was right on the edge. I slowly slid out of her, letting my cock fall against her stomach. I leaned forward and pressed it between us.
"No, don't stop! Please, please don't stop..." she whined, pushing upwards with her hips.
I pulled her hair and tightened my grip around her throat, silencing her.
"You were going to cum, weren't you?" I asked, struggling to keep my breathing steady.
She nodded against my grip, eyes softening.
"What do you need...before you can cum?" I asked.
She hesitated before finding the answer.
"Permission." she replied quickly, her voice soft and fearful.
"Permission from who?"
"From...from you."
I pulled my hips back and let my cock rest against her pussy. She moaned and pushed her hips forward again, trying to get some friction. I smiled at her desperation.
"Why do you need my permission?" I asked lightly, as if confused.
With my other hand I gently tapped the head of my cock against her soaking wet pussy lips. Her whole body jumped in response, and she moaned again.
"Because...because you own me." she almost whispered, looking away from me in shame.
I pulled her hair harder, trying to guide her eyes back to mine.
"What was that?" I asked.
She stared into my eyes, utterly vulnerable.
"You own me." she said again.
I smiled and slowly slid my cock into her tight tunnel, not stopping until I bottomed out. She gasped and pushed her hips against me, squirming with pleasure. Every instinct screamed at me to keep moving, to take my pleasure from her body, but I had to control myself.
"Jessica, do you want to cum?" I asked.
"Please..." she gasped, "Please make me cum."
"Please what, Jessica?"
"Please..." she moaned, looking away.
I lightly slapped her face to get her attention.
"Please what?" I asked again.
She looked up at me, eyes so wide and threatening tears, but didn't speak.
"What's wrong Jessica? You seemed to enjoy calling me it last week. You know what you have to say." I said softly. I kissed her once on the cheek, letting my lips linger for a second.
She bit her lip hard and closed her eyes again.
"Please...Sir." she whispered.
"Louder." I said.
"Please, Sir!" she panted.
I quickly pulled my hips back, then slowly forward as I fucked her once with my entire length. She let out a frustrated wail when I stopped and leaned closer, putting my lips to her ear.
"Please, Sir...what?" I growled.
I knew by now how her mind worked with things like this. Once she'd submitted, it seemed she would say almost anything I prompted her too, but when we started again it was more difficult to convince her to repeat it. I could see it all in her face. Her stubbornness, and her shame. She was torn between the pleasure she got from submission, and her pride telling her she shouldn't.
But as always, the pleasure won out. I smiled as I saw the resignation in her expression. This is what made this whole thing work, I thought. This is why I was able to make her mine. The depth of her submission and her capacity for pleasure meant that I'd always be able to make her submit if I dominated her properly.
"Please can I cum...Sir?" she begged, "Please make me cum, Sir. Please make...make your slut cum with your big cock."
Just at her words I felt hot pleasure rolling through my body, causing my cock to twitch inside her. I took her bottom lip between my teeth and bit down hard as I slid out of her. I kissed her deeply and gripped her throat tight as I thrust back in. She moaned her pleasure into my mouth as I pounded her in a frantic rhythm, my hips slamming into hers as I filled her dripping pussy.
Her moans grew frantic as she tried to hold back the pleasure. I broke the kiss and put my lips to her ear.
"Cum for me, slut." I hissed.
Immediately I felt her body stiffen beneath me as her orgasm began. She screamed into my ear as her body shook uncontrollably. She wrapped her arms around my neck and gripped tight as I continued my assault, not slowing down for a second despite how fiercely her pussy was gripping my cock.
"Oh God!" she wailed, "Oh God! Sir!"
She started to move against me, matching my rhythm with her own. At first she twisted her hips which created an amazing circular pressure, but as another orgasm approached she threw her head back and began mindlessly pumping against me, eager to increase her pleasure. She stared into my eyes as she came again, and I heard myself grunt with lust. She looked so incredible when she came, her beautiful, refined features twisted into pure pleasure. I felt my self-control slipping as my lust for her overwhelmed me, and I knew there would be no more stopping or teasing until I got myself off.
I closed my eyes and lost myself in the sensation of taking her. The softness and heat of her body, her shaking voice as the pleasure of her orgasm dragged on, her fingernails scratching lightly against my back. Her pussy was so wet that I could feel the liquid sliding down the base of my cock and coating my balls.
Again, I kept thrusting and thrusting until my lungs began to burn and my hips felt weak. I knew I could hold my pleasure back for longer, but I'd already exhausted my body. I kept going for as long as I could before my pace started to falter. I gritted my teeth and tightened my grip. She seemed to sense my determination to finish, and she wrapped her legs around my hips as I sank myself into her and joined in with her third orgasm, the strength of my own forcing the breath from me.
I kept thrusting as I came, slowing until I slid out of her. She whimpered as my softening cock left her. Her legs were still shaking and her eyes were closed, and I could tell by the way her hips were lightly thrusting that the pleasure of her orgasm hadn't yet left her. I leaned in and touched my lips to hers, and immediately she opened her mouth and slipped her tongue into mine. We kissed slowly, our tongues moving together in an easy rhythm.
I pulled away and rolled to the side, focusing on getting my breath back. She rolled over on to me and wrapped her arms around me.
I was so tired suddenly, and lying with her was so relaxing. Her body lost all tension, and her heavy breathing tickled my chest.
"Am I good?" she whispered in my ear.
"What?" I asked.
"Am I a...a good girl?" she asked.
I smiled. I loved how deeply it all affected her. I hadn't even done much to her tonight, besides teasing her, but she could still ask a question as humiliating as this and really mean it.
I kissed the top of her head.
"You were a good girl for me tonight." I said.
She smiled and then laughed gently, embarrassed.
"Good." she said.
The energy was leaving my body, and I felt my eyelids begin to close. I didn't want her sleeping here again. Not tonight, anyway.
"Time to go, sweetheart." I said quietly.
I felt a flash of anger at myself for letting that word slip out again. "Sweetheart". It sounded far too intimate, despite how natural it felt.
"Can't I stay?" Jessica asked.
I looked at her, preparing to maintain the distance between us. She just looked to desperate, so full of fear and hope. I smirked, eager to see the pain in her eyes when I told her to leave but suddenly a memory came to me, the same that had haunted me all week.

Since graduating University, I forgot what it was like to read for fun. As a kid I was an avid book worm and I once read all the Harry Potter books in 5 days. I wanted to fall back in love with reading and the worlds that authors created. I've not only been reading books I'd usually pick up, I've been reading ones I would never have thought to pick.
If there's any book I urge people to read, it is Reasons to Stay Alive* by Matt Haig. It's been one of those books that I have had on my wish list for a while and it was only recently that I finally got round to purchasing it. My only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner. Reasons to Stay Alive is a memoir written by Matt Haig who writes about his personal battle with depression and anxiety. It's beautifully well crafted, extremely personal and my favourite thing about it is that Haig makes you feel less alone.
Living with my fiance who suffers from depression it opened up the part of him that I do not know of my partner. The times when he's unrecognisable and drowning in his own thoughts. It will always be one of the most heartbreaking things for me to watch and live with because there is barely anything that I can do. In 7 years, I have some understanding of his depression; I know how to battle it and not let it take over our lives, but, Haig's work really opened my eyes of how my partner feels.
One of the biggest lessons I learnt being with my partner is that depression is an illness, not a feeling. That's what is present through out the book. It's an illness that no one is immune from, as Haig points out in his list of celebrities that suffer with depression or anxiety. Anyone can suffer. It really struck a chord with me because for the past few months I've been battling negative thoughts that have taking over my brain. I know I do not suffer with a mental illness but it doesn't mean my brain is immune from feeling ill.
Haig talks about what works for him and helps him battle his illness every day. He briefly mentions medication and how it helped but he focuses a lot on meditation, yoga and running. Personally, things like meditation aren't for me but to an extent I could relate. I drill this into my life and blog all the time but nothing makes me feel better than going outside and walking with my dog. My 40 minute walk after work with Rufus is often my biggest pick me up after a day at work or a rough day. Fresh air calms me and spending time with my dog who always projects happiness is a constant mood booster.
The best thing about it is that Haig offers hope. Haig creates a narrative where his current self speaks to his past self and offers hope that everything works out in the end. Haig highlights how low mental illness can make you feel which helps people like me understand even more. Although the stigma with mental illness is constantly being challenged with more and more people are speaking out, there are people that are still afraid to try and explain how they feel. Haig puts these nonsensical thoughts onto paper challenging the stigma and making people feel less alone in their own heads. It gives people insight into thoughts of mental illness.
All I can say is pick up the book and give it a read. It's one of those books that I keep on my bedside table at all times as a constant reminder that it's OK to feel lost at times, no matter where you are in your life. That my relationship is stronger than my fiance's depression and that it's an illness that I choose to fight with him every single day. That although I will never know the way someone who suffers feel, that maybe I can help a little bit more after reading this book.

The Gayo Mountain variety beans we use are grown at elevations ranging from 3,200 to 6,000 feet on farms from one to four acres in size and are inter-planted with fruits and vegetables, allowing farmers to be more self sufficient. Farmers are able to deliver their beans directly to the factory, providing them higher prices for their product and direct access to export markets.
The Gayo Mountain Sumatra is certified organic by Skal, a non-profit Netherlands-based certification agency, internationally recognized for excellence.
Developed to its fullest potential, our French Roast Sumatra has a full body, a slightly nutty, earthy flavor and a sweet finish. If you enjoy a hearty cup with enough flavor to shine through the addition of milk or cream, this coffee is ideal.
Sumatra Canopy
The Canopy coffee is from the Gayo Organic Coffee Farmers Association (Persatuan Petani Kopi Gayo Organik, or PPKGO) near Takengon in Aceh province, Sumatra. This is a big co-op, with nearly 2000 members, and all are organic. The farms are located at between 1100 and 1500 m in the buffer zone to Gunung Leuser National Park. Shade grown coffee in Sumatra is especially important because illegal logging threatens remaining forests, including those in protected areas. The demand for timber has been particularly acute since the 2004 tsunami. PPKGO grows a number of varieties of coffee: Bergendal (they typica variety most often grown in Sumatra), Sidikalang (I presume this is another typica cultivar from the named region near Lake Toba), and the hybrids Catimor and Caturra.

Discover the Top Ten Trends Driving Science
The future of scientific research won't be determined in laboratories. Conversations in classrooms, boardrooms, legislatures, and on social networks will help shape the science of 2017. Social, political, and economic forces have always shaped the course of science, affecting the questions we ask and the way we go about asking them.
What forces will shape research in 2017? We asked Editors of ACS Publications journals and used their responses to create a unique report on the "Top Ten Trends Driving Science." It's an invaluable look at the challenges ahead, and what today's scientists are doing to rise to meet them.
This informative and thought-provoking report lists issues including perspectives on enduring problems, such as the constant need for sourcing research funding, as well as new ideas on open access and globalization. Each of these changes brings unique challenges for researchers. They also present possible opportunities for those who are prepared to adapt to a changing landscape.
One trend will often feed into another. Developments in one area often influence another. In many ways, the themes mentioned here are different aspects of a single master trend: Scientists are adapting to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Also included in the report is a collection of Editors' answers to an equally provocative question: "What is the most important unsolved problem in chemistry?" It is unlikely chemists could ever agree on a single "most important unsolved problem." But that is exactly why the debate is important. The report encourages scientists, and anyone interested in science, to think about why we ask the questions we ask. Debates like this help us have larger conversations about the nature of progress. It's useful to have these debates about the value of knowledge, and the challenges faced by humanity.

In a democracy there can be no room to foment VIP culture. With the red beacon now gone, it's time to stop those crores being squandered on providing police security for Ministers other politicians and their kin.
Politicians are supposed to serve the people and those who really do service need no protection. Our Soldiers and para military forces take very high risks sans any special protection.
The power intoxicated Politicians who are apprehensive about their personal safety should either hire their own personal body guards or fade away from public life. Such criminal waste of public funds on security for VIPs cannot be allowed. The Police personnel ought to be deployed for street policing and not to hover around the politicians. The unnecessary over deployment of police at official functions attended by VIPs must also stop. The police force is meant to investigate criminal cases, maintain law and order while also regulating traffic. The life of a VIP cannot be any more sacred than that of a common man.

Adventure a) Go see the puzzle case
a) Go see the puzzle case
"I really want to go look at the case," you say. "I'll meet you over there soon, okay?"
Your friend goes back to Grainger and you grab your backpack and head upstairs. You thought the puzzle case hadn't been returned yet, but sure enough, you find it back in its spot in the east hallway. The case stands open and you realize that someone must have solved it recently. You look inside and find a key and a piece of paper.
"Basement by the wind tunnel," the note says.
You want to go to the basement, but it's already 11:30 pm and you haven't gotten anything done. You know your friend is waiting at Grainger.

March 3, 2011
U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced the offer of a conditional commitment to Record Hill Wind LLC for a $102 million loan guarantee. The loan guarantee will support the Record Hill wind project, which includes a 50.6-megawatt wind power plant and an 8-mile transmission line and associated interconnection equipment near the town of Roxbury, Maine. Developed and managed by Wagner Wind Energy of New Hampshire and Independence Wind of Maine, Record Hill is sponsored by the Yale University Endowment fund. In addition to providing clean, renewable power to New England's grid, the sponsor expects the project to create 200 construction jobs in Maine.
The Department of Energy (DOE), through the Loan Programs Office, has issued loan guarantees or offered conditional commitments for loan guarantees totaling nearly $18 billion to support 20 clean energy projects.

The half-witted, half-baked, half-mad ramblings of a widowed, thirty-something, earth-loving, commuter-cycling, theatre-going, runner-girl Christ follower. Abandon seriousness, all ye who enter here.
What are we talking about today?
Some days have themes. I don't necessarily post something in each of these topic areas every week.
Sunday: Church-related or spiritual things.
Monday: Running.
Tuesday: Books.
Wednesday: Transportation.
Friday: Green living.
04 January 2008
Thanks, Karla.
The moral of the story is, never let your roommates near you with a camera. This picture was taken (fortunately) several years ago, and here it is: WonderSu! Coming soon to a costume party near you.
This should tide you all over until I have a chance to come on here and post for real. :)

In the late 90s and early 2000s, I began to observe an increase in various forms of gambling in Canada; particularly in western Canada, there were more casinos and video lottery terminals in bars.
In recent years, I have observed the same kind of video lottery terminals in several bars in Atlantic Canada; thus far, Ontario has resisted them.
But casinos have spread greatly in Ontario in recent years, outside of some of the more obvious locations (some big cities, many native reserves), into small communities, as well. In the last couple of years or so, one even opened up in my small hometown, which surprised the heck out of me, as I didn't see my area as the kind of place that would go in for them.
I am not altogether opposed to gambling, per se; I don't believe it is outright condemned in and of itself in Scripture (yes, the casting of lots for Christ's garments is depicted as the wicked thing that it certainly was, but not because of the gaming so much as the humiliation of an innocent man who is also God; after all, casting lots is shown in Scripture in general as a tool for decision-making, much like flipping a coin).
But as with other activities that are not wrong necessarily in moderation, but in excess are problematic (e.g. people enjoying some drinks at the pub or at home after work is one thing; people getting shit-faced, blackout-drunk, and puking on the streets like we see today in the U.K. in contrast to the healthier drinking culture of yesteryear is quite another), so too with gambling. A bit here and there, a few national and regional lotteries, a few casinos, a few horsetracks with betting, etc., no big deal for society; only for a handful of people with self-control issues. But video lottery terminals and casinos increasingly everywhere, that's worrisome. We can expect to see more and more gambling addictions arising, the numbers increasing exponentially, the more gambling proliferates.
What is bringing this about?
Well, frankly, at the end of the day, I think it's just greedy governments, greedy for increased tax revenues, and/or finding an easy way to boost tourism (and no doubt some corrupt officials on the take, in the pockets of would-be casino owners) – and business owners, esp. bars which play host to video lottery terminals, all too happy to go along with it, because they sell more drinks the longer people sit in the bar and play. I don't blame business owners for wanting to maximize their profits nor not wanting to lose out to the competition down the street if they host such terminals, but I do blame governments for allowing / promoting such.
As for why the public enthusiastically embraces them, hey, it's a thrill, and the lure of easy money for nothing is too much for many to resist. (Not me; I think I lack the gambling gene or whatever; I don't even play lottery tickets, though I will enter occasionally contests to win a trip, or some charity 50:50 draws occasionally, but I don't bet or go to casinos or the like, just because I have different interests, same as I'm not especially interested in sports, particularly. This of course doesn't mean I'm better than others; just that my temptations / vices / weaknesses / preferred recreational activities happen to lie elsewhere.) And no doubt in hard times, it becomes even more of an escape, and something into which people place their hopes, rather than in God.
Anyway, just something I've noticed, of late; or rather, I've been noticing it over the last generation, but with recent increased rates of proliferation of gambling forms, I couldn't help but be struck by it, and find myself contemplating it more.

New Census data shows that like the rest of the country, Monroe County is aging.
The median age in Monroe County is 38.6, up from 38.5. The median age for the U.S. as a whole is 37.6, up from 37.5.
There are fewer children under the age of 18 in Monroe County:
- 2010: 168,699
- 2011: 165,902
- 2012: 163,561
- 2013: 162,356
That's a drop of 4 percent, which will undoubtedly impact schools in coming years.
There are more people aged 65 and older in Monroe County:
- 2010: 103,594
- 2011: 105,740
- 2012: 109,732
- 2013: 112,935
That's a 9 percent increase in the number of senior citizens in just a few years! This has major implications for housing, community design, medical care and other services.
But the number of Millennials is up 6 percent. People aged 20-34 in Monroe County:
- 2010: 149,113
- 2011: 153,716
- 2012: 155,980
- 2013: 158,239
This is more evidence to refute the "brain drain" theory. As for whether this group is procreating, perhaps they are waiting longer, which would help explain the drop in children.

For packing 1996 with strategic, brand-reinforcing promotions that helped it lead its industry in brand growth, Coca-Cola Co. is Advertising Age's Promotional Marketer of the Year of 1996.
Like its soft drink rivals, Coca-Cola has long been one of the most aggressive promoters, particularly at the store level. But reflecting an industry trend, it tried last year to more fully integrate its promotional activity with overall brand marketing strategies.
"We're doing significantly better at that," says Sergio Zyman, Coca-Cola's chief marketing officer. "If it doesn't fit a brand's architecture, we're not going to do it. We start with what it is we're really trying to accomplish with the brand. Then we theme it on what is relevant to consumers at that point in time."
Last year's efforts ranged from Coke Classic's multipronged Olympics blitz to a National Football League "Red Zone" promotion to Diet Coke's "Friends" TV show mystery game. Two Coca-Cola promotions-"Friends" and Barq's "Psychic Fish"-won Reggie nominations from the Promotion Marketing Association of America.
More to the point for Mr. Zyman, the year's promotions helped Coca-Cola outpace rivals Pepsi-Cola Co. and Cadbury Schweppes in sales growth. Coca-Cola increased total U.S. volume 5.5% last year, according to Beverage Digest/ Maxwell. Only private-label makers showed bigger gains; Pepsi-Cola grew 4%, helped by its own impressive Pepsi Stuff promotion.
"A number of [advertisers] are looking at how promotions can become more of an integrated discipline than a separate discipline," says Cindy Hennessy, chief idea officer at TLPartnership, Dallas, lead promotion agency for Pepsi.
Coca-Cola's best example of integration came with its sponsorship of the Summer Olympics in its hometown, Atlanta.
With Olympics marketing more cluttered than ever, Coca-Cola made an early decision to break from the mold of linking a sponsoring brand to athletes. It decided to link Coca-Cola Classic to fans instead.
"We decided not to do Olympics advertising during the Oly-mpics," Mr. Zyman says.
Coke began airing ads entitled "For the Fans" four months before the Games started. Shortly thereafter, the 1996
Olympic Torch Relay began winding its way across America, courtesy of Coca-Cola.
The marketer made maximum use of the relay, generating national interest with celebrity torchbearers and local interest with a grass-roots nomination program that enabled thousands of ordinary Americans to carry the flame. In all, more than 5,500 torchbearers participated in the relay.
Along the way, Coca-Cola sponsored "fan celebrations" to encourage people to come out and cheer on the torchbearers.
"With the torch, we said to our consumers, `We want you to have the chance to be at the Olympics, even if you're not going to Atlanta. We want to create the excitement of the Olympics for 15 minutes or an hour in your town,' " says Mr. Zyman, who carried the torch in New York.
He recalls that a woman there told him, "This is the first time I have seen New York City as a small town."
Meanwhile, in stores Coca-Cola ran a fairly standard under-the-cap consumer sweepstakes, "Red Hot Olympic Summer." And in Atlanta during the Games, it sponsored Coca-Cola Olympic City, an entertainment, shopping and dining complex.
The sum of all the parts was an Olympics sponsorship that stood out from most of the others by underscoring, again and again, one of Coke's core brand values.
"The Coca-Cola brand stands for bringing people together," says Steve Graham, VP-marketing communications at AT&T Corp. and a former Coca-Cola manager.
Coca-Cola's other big hit of '96 was Diet Coke's "Friends" promotion. It combined common promotion ideas like a sweepstakes and celebrity endorsers into an attention-getting bonanza.
The company knew what the brand's target consumer liked.
"Of the 65 million people enjoying Diet Coke each week, a majority of them are loyal viewers of `Friends,' " said Frank Bifulco, VP-marketing, Coca-Cola USA, when the promotion was announced.
Having identified that connection, Diet Coke's next challenge was obtaining the rights to the "Friends" cast, all of whom would participate in a promotion. Mr. Bifulco outdueled Pepsi in negotiations with Warner Bros.
Coca-Cola and Warner then teamed to create a promotion that had three key ingredients: timing, aggressive spending and fictional characters. They built the promotion around a special episode of "Friends" that aired after the Super Bowl and spent heavily to promote the contest.
The partners also took the unusual step of using the cast's fictional names and characters. This made sense because Diet Coke drinkers were interested in the show more than the actors, Mr. Bifulco said.
"Everybody has an idea for a promotion, from exhibits of stuff from the Titanic to guys going around the world in a balloon," Mr. Zyman says. "You look at all this stuff and you see that most of it doesn't really fit your brand's positioning."
The "Friends" promotion helped Diet Coke match its biggest volume increase of the previous 12 months in January 1996; however, volume growth for the full year slowed a bit from 1995.
Despite all the activity, Coca-Cola's marketing budget increased only in line with volume growth, Mr. Zyman says. The heavy Olympics effort was funded primarily through reallocation of marketing money. And the emphasis on strategically smart promotions means "we have been managing our dollars a helluva lot better," he says.
Looking ahead, Coca-Cola plans no abatement in the use of aggressive, themed promotions.
In January '97, it launched an in-store effort called "Get Caught Red Handed" for Coke Classic. Mr. Zyman declined to reveal upcoming summer promotion plans but says he likes them.
Longer-running promotions are one thing to watch for, he adds. Traditionally, companies have viewed promotions as fixed, short-term events.
"But if a promotion is working and delivering incremental cases, why stop it?" he asks.
Sprite, the fastest-growing major brand in the U.S. and the world, has run an under-the-cap promotion for 12 months in some markets, he says, "because it works."

WWE Extreme Rules 2013: Looking at Team Hell No vs. Reigns and RollinsMay 18, 2013
Justice. That's what it's been all about since Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose debuted six months ago at the 2012 Survivor Series. The trio, cohesively known as The Shield, would proceed to powerbomb Ryback through the announcer's table and run roughshod over WWE over the next few months, attacking everyone from Brodus Clay to The Rock.
At Tables, Ladders & Chairs, Team Hell No teamed up with Ryback in an attempt to take down the untamed trio, but came up short after Roman Reigns powerbombed Daniel Bryan off the second rope and through a table.
With a victory over the WWE Tag Team Champions and one of the main faces of WWE, The Shield immediately put themselves on the map as competitors with a huge win and proved that they were more than sneak attackers. Reigns, Ambrose and Rollins continued their reign of dominance, injuring key superstars like Randy Orton and Sin Cara on their path to restore justice inside Vince McMahon's organization.
Although The Shield faced two minor setbacks after it was revealed that they had been paid by Paul Heyman in order to help CM Punk retain the WWE Championship and they were forced to retreat due to an attack by Sheamus, John Cena and Ryback the following week, they were able to prevail yet again in their second pay-per-view match at Elimination Chamber.
On the Road to WrestleMania, The Shield was temporarily put on the back burner, mainly appearing on SmackDown and feuding against Randy Orton, Sheamus and later The Big Show.
Meanwhile, Team Hell No was riding high as WWE Tag Team Champions, having held the championships since Night of Champions 2012 and having little to no viable competition at all. In their WrestleMania debut, Reigns, Ambrose and Rollins, always a well-oiled machine, capitalized off Show, Sheamus and Orton's lack of chemistry and trust and extended their undefeated streak.
Even though Team Hell No and The Shield had not interacted since TLC, Daniel Bryan and Kane never forgot about their grudge against "The Hounds of Justice," coming to the rescue of Kane's brother The Undertaker on the Raw after WrestleMania once The Shield attempted to make history at the expense of "The Phenom."
Two weeks later, Kane, Bryan and The Undertaker teamed up to take on Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. After a large brawl emerged outside the ring involving Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and The Brothers of Destruction, the unhinged Ambrose took advantage of a missed diving headbutt by Bryan and swiftly rolled the former World Heavyweight Champion up to lengthen his unit's undefeated streak.
Four days later on SmackDown, after a match with Dean Ambrose, The Undertaker was taken out by The Shield and triple powerbombed through a table by the three NXT alumni. This only served to incense Team Hell No even more as Kane continues to look for revenge against Ambrose, Rollins and Reigns and may get it in this tornado tag team match at Extreme Rules.
The added stipulation of this match being a tornado tag team match makes this bout interesting. The Shield is always better in a chaotic, frantic environment and I feel as if Seth Rollins and Daniel Bryan will really thrive on this environment. Kane and Roman Reigns will control the bulk of the match since Kane's storyline reason to hate The Shield right now is stronger than Bryan's.
The Shield has lost just a little bit of its mystique when it comes to matches lately, but they have all been good to great and never fail to impress. On Raw, Reigns, Ambrose and Reigns lost for the first time and Rollins lost to Kane by disqualification on WWE Main Event this past Wednesday.
Even though Team Hell No's reign as Tag Team Champions has surpassed the reigns of the New Age Outlaws and Edge and Christian, The Shield has never been pinned as a tag team. Along with that, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns have never teamed up to my knowledge, making it that much harder for Daniel Bryan and Kane to prepare for two thirds of The Shield.
Before "The Hounds of Justice" lost to John Cena and Team Hell No on Raw, I had Reigns and Rollins penciled in to win this bout, but that loss changed things for me. Even though Team Hell No has had the advantage for the past two episodes of WWE television, not counting tonight's SmackDown, I feel as if the reverse momentum theory will not work here and Hell No will retain their Tag Team Championships.
Of course, a win would do nothing but wonders for the two young upstarts of The Shield, but they don't need it to keep their heat, or at least not now. They might win the titles at Payback or not win them in the next few pay-per-views at all, but it's only a matter of time until The Shield gets the bronze belts around their waists.
Prediction: Team Hell No wins

Well, the monsoons are here and with it means another July roadtrip for Kim and I. Of course, this year's going to be a bit different than most.
We're also getting married.
After a ceremony in Yosemite National Park on what will be our 11-year anniversary, we'll head up through California, Oregon, and Washington and into the Canadian Rockies before heading back in time to host our wedding reception back in Phoenix.
There's still plenty of planning and prep work to be done, and time is getting short, so we're really burning the midnight oil these days. We'll try to check in on the road a bit, but you may not hear from us until we return in August.

Republican Minnesota Rep. Carol McFarlane has decided she won't challenge House Majority Leader Matt Dean in a primary.
McFarlane, from White Bear Lake, had been placed in the same district as Dean, from Dellwood, in new political maps released in February. They faced off in a local Republican convention and Dean easily won.
On Friday, after weeks of consideration, she said she had decided not to challenge him in an August primary.
Here's her letter announcing her decision:

Hi, wondered if anyone can offer any advice on how they felt.
I had my lap on 14th July, where they removed endo in pouch of Douglas area and removed a large cyst from my ovary, the also suspended my ovaries when operated which after week had to go back for the stitches out so they would fall back into place. I have an awful time with te nhs, when I came round from the op they hadn't given me any pain relief, and was hysterical when came round! I was disgusted, after giving me morpheme I was then told I couldn't go to sleep and was given a list of things I had to do so I could go home. Long story short I ended up back in hospital via ambulance that night.
Since the op I have been in agony, I was very sick for the first weeks, from being out of it and not being able to talk to being sick. It was dreadful!
I am now still struggling more than a month down the line the side I had the cyst is still a lot if pain and is constantly swelling up around my hip and lower back, I can't sleep on my sides as it feels like everything is falling out or moving to the other side, I keep having hot sweats ( no temp) feeling like I'm not here in so much pain and it going down my leg.
I have also notice I'm constantly getting bruises appearing all over my legs and they aren't going lasting for weeks at a time.
In so confused I never thought I would feel this poorly this long after my op.
Anybody else felt like this and advice ?
I'm due back at the docs next week so will discuss again with them, just wondered if anyone else was like this.
My appetite is nothing too food just doesn't internet me.
Long post sorry, just feeling lost.

Karolina Kurkova at the Children Spring Dinner Dance in New York on April 12, Camilla Belle at 'Good Housekeeping''s Annual Shine On Awards in New York on April 12, and Uma Thurman on 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon' in New York on April 8.

Like avoiding cupcake day at work, hitting the gym on Gossip Girl night, or explaining to your ex "noooo, I broke up with YOU," humidity-induced flyaways are, for the most part, a losing battle. We know, we know. We all try reeeeeally hard to give our strands a fighting chance, but the odds are usually stacked in favor of the wayward hair shaft. Before you decide to walk around with a paper bag on your head until the end of April or take an electric razor to your head, witness model Karolina Kurkova, and actresses Camilla Belle and Uma Thurman. Instead of, blow-drying, flat ironing and gel shellacking their strands to within an inch of life before hitting their respective red carpet events, they let their hair be what it wanted to be...which just so happened to be FRIZZY. Giving in isn't giving up, ladies and gents. Remember that. Especially, when you're ACTUALLY right on trend. Marc Jacobs, Topshop, and Vera Wang all
embraced blew up to unimaginable proportions the frizzy hair look on the runway for spring. So, there. The next time your passive aggressive pal asks if you want to borrow their flat iron, say thanks, but no thanks, while shaking your hair wildly with your hands.
Tips to NOT looking completely crazy with your frizzy 'do:
1. Reign in your fuzzy strands just a bit by wearing them in a loose side braid (like Karolina and Uma) or a no-fuss bun like Camilla.
2. Just because your hair is cuckoo, doesn't mean your makeup should be. Make sure your foundation is perfectly blended, your lips are glossy and your brows are clean (they don't have to be Camilla-perfect, but you get our point).
3. To strike a balance with your look, team your tomboy hair with ladylike clothes—lace, satin, sleeveless.

In her review of Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, Dana Stevens noted the film's joke-a-minute structure, which leads to some moments of undeniable hilarity. "But," Stevens wrote, screenwriters "[Adam] McKay and [Will] Ferrell's method of throwing every possible joke at the wall and seeing what sticks also results in a lot of joke-spaghetti slowly sliding to the floor."
Well, get ready for more joke-spaghetti: Next Friday, for one week only, Anchorman 2 will receive a re-release, with nearly every joke from the original (95 percent, according to McKay) swapped out for new ones. Its official title will be Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues: Super-Sized R-Rated Version.
The idea has been floated for a while: Back in October, McKay said they were working on a new version with "250 more jokes," and expressed his hoped it could get a few midnight showings. As it happens, the new cut will get much more than that, in terms of both screenings and new jokes: There are 763 of the latter, or at least so the trailer claims.
McKay, who spoke with the New York Times, says the initial plan was to follow the standard formula for major-release comedies (including the first Anchorman film), where the outtakes and unused shots are tagged on as DVD extras and added to an extended, unrated version. But eventually, the editing team decided to do a complete overhaul of all the jokes, and then Paramount Pictures pushed for a theatrical rerelease.
The large-scale theatrical rerelease—it will appear on 1,000 screens—is the one new frontier here. The Times cites What's Up, Tiger Lily?, a movie Woody Allen made by overdubbing a Japanese film, as a very loose precedent. Not mentioned by the Times is the straight-to-DVD Wake Up, Ron Burgundy: The Lost Movie, which, like the upcoming rerelease of the Anchorman sequel, used extra footage left behind in the final edit. (In contrast to the upcoming edition, the storyline was also new.)
McKay called this new movie a "Frankenstein version," and doesn't think it's an improvement upon the original. But what can you expect? Back in December, Jonah Weiner wrote a feature for Rolling Stone about the Anchorman sequel and the people behind it; the piece quoted some outtakes verbatim. (Note: The following may not be enjoyed by those who are not fond of exceedingly crude humor.)
Ferrell: "The other day, I pleasured myself to Mrs. Butterworth."
McKay, building on this: "And she got me there."
Ferrell: "She got me there fast!"…"Talk about a river of ejaculate"…
McKay: "It was as if someone shot a bucketful of paste with a shotgun."
Ferrell: "It was like somebody dumped a bucket of corn chowder into an industrial fan!"
Rudd's eyes start tearing up. McKay, not missing a beat: "It was like someone gutted a shark over a marble floor."
Ferrell, bellowing: "It was like goddamn Krakatoa in my pants!"
Carell is convulsing. The take is a goner. But Ferrell is having too much fun to stop. "Now I know what those sad villagers in Pompeii felt like!" he says. "Except, instead of hot lava raining down, I rained down frothy ejaculate!"
For those interested in more of this, the Super-Sized, R-Rated Version should be perfect.

Holding Real Estate Deals Together: Earning Our Keep
This week has been a week of baling wire and duct tape trying to keep deals together. Patience! Oh, what a wonderful virtue.
Patience to deal with the shifting numbers that inch closer to Yes!, patience with personalities that run the gamut of kind and understanding to rude and arrogant, patience with real estate agents who are slow to respond, patience with lenders who change the rules at a drop of the hat, patience with attorneys who hire temps, patience with home sellers who think their homes are made of gold—why do we do this?
Because that is what we are paid to do, have patience and keep deals together.
For all the do-it-your-self home buyers and sellers doing it themselves for the first time—BEWARE! there are dangers ahead.
How can deals go south?
Financing problems, cold feet, inspection problems, newly disclosed information, buyer buys a Harley before closing, on and on and on, but we must have patience.
Take a deep breath and look at the situation—break it down—then look for a solution.
Sometimes the situation calls for a little Continue reading this post

Matt Weber made the transition from NYC cab driver to photographer in 1978 and has been documenting the city streets ever since; now, his photos have been collected in a glossy coffee table tome entitled 'The Urban Prisoner.' Though Weber has captured his fair share of gritty, raw photography depicting crime, homelessness and the indifference of the bustling streets, he has also seen some precious, loving moments.
Weber enjoys capturing spontaneous, impulsive instances, which are often the stuff romantic moments are made of. He says, "Occasionally, it's over the top. Young people tend to do that – spend half an hour groping. Maybe it's not exhibitionism so much as being overwhelmed." Whether it's first-time teenage lust or the decade-defying romance of adults, Weber has captured it all.

The Conception vessel, or meridian, plays a major role in Qi circulation, monitoring and directing all of the Yin channels.
It forms a circular entity with the Governing Vessel.
In Qigong society, the Conception Vessel and the Governing Vessel are considered the most important among the Qi channels and vessels, and must be trained first.
Whereas the Governing meridian runs from the tailbone upwards along the mid-line of the back through the vertebrae to the head, this Meridian runs up the anterior (front) of the body, from the pubic area to the mouth.

Advisory services can solve problems, manage risk and maximize growth opportunities for businesses of all sizes. If a company fails to meet goals in important areas, a business advisory service can provide the push needed to get things going again. Below are a few signs that a company may need Business Advisory Services Meridian ID.
Falling Behind
Today's market is fiercely competitive, and if a company can't keep up with customers' demands, those customers may go elsewhere. By hiring a business advisory service, a company's owner can see where they stand in the market place, and they can learn how they are perceived by their target market.
Profits are Flat or Declining
When a once-profitable business has a dry spell, they may want to call in outside help. A business advisory service will examine a firm's structure while helping managers look at things from a broader perspective. Consultants can help owners identify market opportunities and they can help them make the right decisions to improve the company's finances.
Failing to Keep up With the Times
Technology evolves every day, and a company is at a distinct advantage if they can keep up with the changes. If a firm cannot keep up with technological advancements, they may lose customers to competitors. Business Advisory Services Meridian ID can help managers and owners understand relevant technologies, and they can aid in acquisition and implementation. Click here for more details.
Poor Hiring Practices
Maybe the business is hitting its growth targets, but managers cannot find the right customer service team. Many small businesses encounter such issues during times of rapid growth, but an advisor can help owners and HR staff how to avoid common mistakes.
Failure to Plan
Expansion is a natural next step for a profitable business, but many get overexcited when implementing an expansion plan. Eagerness can be costly, but Business Advisory Services Meridian ID can help owners avoid expensive errors.
Being Overcome by Internal Conflict
Internal strife can be common, especially in family-owned businesses, and these conflicts can destroy the business in some cases. An unbiased third party can provide a new perspective, and Silver Bridge CPAs can help everyone figure out how to move forward.

Benefits of being connected for today's social (networking) senior
According to the Pew Research Center, nearly 65% of American adults utilize social networking websites, with usage among those age 65 and older tripling since 2010. In 2015, it was reported that 35% of seniors use some form of social media, compared to just 2% in 2005. What does this all mean? It means that seniors have adopted social media at a higher rate than any other demographic.
Social media is no longer exclusively for the younger generation. Over the years, seniors have become much more comfortable using computers and the Internet. And now, they're becoming more involved with social networking—and loving it.
Pew Research Center reports have documented how the rise of social media has had a profound effect on many aspects of life—all around the world— such as work, politics, media consumption, dating, the way in which information is shared and received, and even people's stress levels.
The Senior Social Network.
Why are seniors on social networks? One of the main uses for seniors is a way to bridge the gap between themselves and their loved ones—whether it's a generational gap or geographic one. Social media sites, like Facebook and Skype, give seniors a way to engage and connect with their family and friends like they've never had before. Seniors may be able to find an old college roommate or even a good friend from the neighborhood where they grew up. It's a revolution in the way people build and cultivate relationships with each other.
But keeping in touch is only part of the story. According to www.seniornet.org, seniors are finding a host of other benefits when it comes to using social media, including:
Research & Learning: Social media offers many new—and easy—avenues for seniors to learn more about topics that interest them or even to discover new interests. Whether they're taking an educational course, reading an online book or searching for the latest research about a particular issue, the information is available with the click of a button.
Asking Questions: Online tools like Twitter, Facebook, blogs and live chats empower seniors to ask questions and get answers quickly, without having to navigate frustrating phone menus.
Entertainment: Favorite old TV shows and movies, e-books, articles and blog posts on topics of interest are readily available. Seniors can also play online games with friends both near and far.
Sharing: Seniors are wise, and there is much value to be found in their life experiences. Social media allows seniors to share about their life and network with others.
Retirement Planning: More seniors are using social media to find out what's happening in the world of retirement and financial planning by researching the latest retirement information, plans and advice. In fact, according to a study by Springfield Insurance Company, more than 71% of their retirement plan applicants use one or more social networking sites on a regular basis.
Business: Many seniors are spending time on social networks such as LinkedIn for business purposes. These days, seniors are staying active longer and many are working into their "retirement years." The Internet and social media provide a variety of opportunities for operating a business from home or for finding new job opportunities.
Support: Social networking also gives seniors access to a variety of health information relevant to their age group. Through online forums, chat rooms and blogs, they can communicate with others, share information, become better educated, and even find ways to better manage and cope with various illnesses or ailments. Social networks have, in some ways, become virtual support groups.
Senior Living Communities Use Social Media, Too.
Retirement communities are also finding social media to be a convenient and effective way to encourage connections and wellness in daily life. Not only is it a great way for residents and families to stay aware of what's happening within the community, but with regular use it can help to keep the mind active and lessen feelings of isolation and loneliness.
The Group Keeps Growing.
As the Baby Boomers continue to age and seniors become more and more technologically savvy, the digital world will continue to play an important role in keeping seniors connected and engaged in all aspects of life.
