Fast Track Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy
A recognised and accredited hypnotherapy course in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Sydney, Perth and Melbourne that credits prior learning and clinical skills that qualified psychotherapists, counsellors, psychiatrists, psychologists and mental health nurses would already be expected to have (hence the relatively short training required). Also suitable for qualified hypnotherapists as a refresher course.
The course is 9 days of attendance in all locations.
Applicants will already have a sound knowledge of the presenting issues they routinely work with. We will focus on the unique aspects of hypnotherapy. Applicants will already understand concepts common to counselling, psychotherapy and psychology, such as empathy, rapport, ethics and reflective practice, for example, and they simply want to add hypnotherapy to their skill set rather than cover all these topics again.
Perhaps you are looking for new tools for stuck clients, to create a 'safe place' before interventions, an extra income stream in private practice, or you're simply fascinated by the subject of hypnotherapy!
Upon completion, a health provider number can be applied for and clients will be able to claim on their private health cover where hypnotherapy is covered.
Our hypnotherapy course assumes no prior knowledge and gives you everything you need to work with the public as a competent, ethical and successful clinical hypnotherapist, bringing about effective, lasting change in your clients.
The course writers and trainers are Paul Peace, PhD (psychology), and Karen Bartle, MSc Health Psychology, both experienced clinical hypnotherapists, trainers and supervisors. Both are well-respected in their field for bringing a high quality training and respect for clients to an unregulated field that is often associated with stage hypnotists and domineering media personalities. You will be trained by one or both tutors.
The course is recognised or accredited by the following associations, giving you choice in where you apply for practising membership:
AHA - Australian Hypnotherapists Association (the oldest and largest independent hypnotherapy association in Australia)
GHSC - General Hypnotherapy Standards Council which runs the UK's largest hypnotherapy register (the 'General Hypnotherapy Register') which has over 3,000 members, UK, Australia, and International.
The course includes lots of practical hypnotherapy training, emphasising being able to do hypnotherapy rather than simply know about it.
Small groups ensure you have lots of individual attention.
Course materials include: a thoughtfully crafted and substantial course manual, and many other useful materials. These things will support you and extend your learning long after qualification.
Our investment in you also includes fast turnaround on homework and feedback on individual homework questions rather than generic feedback on a whole module. We're genuine and passionate about standards. We encourage you to make use of our supervision of your real-world practice.
We also run short hypnotherapy courses for continuing professional development and an Advanced Diploma in Hypnotherapy if you wish to study to a higher level.
We have attracted students from a very wide variety of backgrounds, including psychotherapists of many persuasions (e.g., CBT, ACT, Psychodynamic, Integrative, EMDR, etc), clinical, educational and counselling psychologists, and myriad counselling modalities. We will help you to integrate hypnotherapy into your existing framework either on training or individually through supervision. Hypnotherapy is a wonderfully flexible tool and we teach it at an inclusive level. You can even do much of what you currently do while your client is in trance.

Understandably, many people find choosing a hypnotherapy course confusing.
Some schools are not upfront about what they offer, making it a forensic exercise. Others have confusing websites and products. Different schools also make contradictory claims.
We remember being in this position. There are so many things to consider. Still, it is better to get the decision right, and exit as a competent practitioner, than to lose time and money retraining.
In this book, we've done our best to pick through it all, as unbiased as humanly possible. We don't tell you what you should choose, but instead, show you what the options are and the dis/advantages.
Your email is safe with us. You'll receive interesting materials about hypnotherapy and you can unsubscribe easily. We feel confident you won't regret reading this. :)

As a counsellor and psychotherapist I was interested in developing my practice by adding hypnotherapy as a key skill. […] I found the training to be excellently delivered, and as an experienced practitioner myself it was really satisfying to be working with someone who I realised really knew their stuff. Karen was also available to help outside of course hours with my course work. My colleagues were similarly impressed. I subsequently used Karen for supervision of my hypnotherapy practice and was extremely happy with her support, professionalism and expertise. — Keith Baddeley, Clinical Lead

Suniti Karunatillake's pursuit of the dream to explore planets involved a personal odyssey across Earth, from Sri Lanka to the USA, beginning with a Bachelor's at Wabash College, Crawfordsville, IN. He completed his PhD (2009) at Cornell University, advised by Steve Squyres. Suniti's planetary exploration strategy relies on synthesizing data at micro- and macro-scales, by exploiting the synergy across missions, such as 2001 Mars Odyssey, Mars Exploration Rover (MER), and Mars Global Surveyor. He shared two National Recognition for Excellence in Space Research group awards by NASA in the process: one for the Mars Odyssey mission in 2005 and the other for MER in 2008. Subsequent to postdoctoral research with Scott McLennan at Stony Brook University; and an appointment at Rider University, NJ; he currently pursues research as an assistant professor at the department of Geology and Geophysics at Louisiana State University. Highlights of his recent work include revealing the importance of sulfates to storing water in the soil of southern Mars, and the possibility of halogens escaping into the martian atmosphere from soil. Grants from NASA's Mars Data Analysis Program and Louisiana's Space Consortium support upcoming research by the planetary science lab (PSL) that he founded at Geology and Geophysics.
Water, in terms of its availability in the shallow crust and role in climate processes, challenges us with many unknowns on Mars. Resolving at least some of these unknowns will aid not only in advancing the question of exobiology, but also in the use of water as an in situ resource for future human missions. In this pursuit, recent in situ observations are complemented by a variety of satellite observations, such as with visible and infrared spectroscopy. This has identified sulfate-bearing strata, from Late-Noachian to Amazonian eons, in turn magnifying the importance sulfates for the composition of martian paleofluids. However, such observations are challenged by sensitivity to only tens of microns depths in the martian surface, as well as sometimes non-unique identification of sulfates. Gamma spectroscopy from the "2001: Mars Odyssey" mission helps fill this void with decimeters deep sensitivity to chemistry at regional scales. By virtue of regional scales, the derived chemical maps generally correspond to martian soil, which tends to dominate areally over rocks.
This is a global map of Mars sulfur concentration (as percentage by mass) derived from the 2001: Mars Odyssey Gamma Ray Spectrometer spectra. Overlay shows qualitatively what types of hydrated sulfates are consistent with the variations seen in sulfur and water across the latitudes. Upright triangles indicate peaks in possible sulfate type abundance while the inverted triangles show less prominent values.

One of the pleasures of travelING is enjoying the local cuisine, such as beverages. Ice dessert beverages might be an option to cool down your day in Indonesia endless summer tropical weather. Indonesia has numerous culinary options of colorful and tasteful ice beverages which can relief your thirst.
Es Teler
Es Teler is a fruit cocktail made from the combination of ice, fruit and milk. In English, Es Teler is translated as 'Drunk Ice'. Alcohol is not included when making Es Telerr, but I believe the taste of the yummy Es Teler will make you 'drunk' to crave for more. Most Westerners may think that Es Teler is a cold dessert but Indonesians usually categorize it as a beverage. The basic Es teller ingredient mainly uses avocado, jackfruit, young coconut flesh, Pandan leaves, sugar, and salt. Currently there have been many additions such as toddy palm (siwalan), attap fruit (kolang-kaling), agar-agar noodle, nata de coco, and durian pulp. Samijem Darmo Wijono a Javanese lady from Sukoharjo, Central Java is the founder of Es Telleri in 1957.
Es Oyen
Not many people in Indonesia know Es Oyen. Usually only people who live nearby Bandung city is familiar with this drink, although nowadays you can find it in many places in Jakarta. Es Oyen is a variation of popular beverages in Bandung, the capital city of West Java. The major ingredient is ice and pacar cina. Pacar cina is colorful grained food made from sago flour usually mixed with hot beverages, sugar, and coconut milk. Other ingredients are young coconut, avocado, jackfruit, and slightly sweet and gelatinous ingredients like black grass jelly and pearls. Sometimes people add syrup to have more flavor and aroma. Sweetened condensed milk is one of the ingredients which is mixed to add fresh taste after the entire ingredients are mixed. The word Oyen is believed to be named after the first person who invented and sold this beverage.
Es Campur
It is literally translated as 'mixed ice.' Es Campur is made of mixed syrup in the midst of kolang-kaling (sugar palm fruit), cendol or dawet (cornstarch-based doughy droplets), avocado, jackfruit, pineapple, bread chunks, and grass jelly. By tasting Es Campur, you have the chance to taste three kinds of jelly at the same time. First is the dark green jelly cubes from the cing-cau leaf. Second is sekotang which are little pink balls made of tapioca flour. Third is the cengakeleng which is made of coconut.
Es Doger
The main ingredient of Es Doger is coconut milk. It is served with ice in pinkish color. The pinkish color comes from cocopandan syrup, rozen (rose) syrup, or pink food coloring. It is a specialty of Bandung, West Java. Its ingredients include pacar cina merah delima (red tapioca pearls), avocado, cassava tapai, ketan hitam (black glutinous rice), jackfruit, diced bread and condensed milk. The condensed milk can be plain (white), or chocolate flavored. Nowadays Es Doger is often served as one of the drinks menu for celebration events such as marriage party and so on.
Es Selendang Mayang
Es Selendang Mayang is a beverage originally from Jakarta. Nowadays Es Selendang Mayang is uncommon and not famous among the Jakarta citizens since it is already considered as an ancient beverage. If you want to hunt for Es Selendang Mayang in Jakarta, you can visit Kota Tua, Ragunan or Kemayoran. In certain formal feasts, this beverage is sometimes served and labeled as Betawi ancient drink. Es Selendang Mayang liquid is made of coconut milk, pandan leaves, brown sugar while the colorful cake batter is made of bleak gelatin, usually in red or green color combined with white.
Es Cendol
Cendol is initially from the island of Java. Es Cendol is also known as Es Dawet. Cendol itself is actually the name of one of the ingredients which consists of a combination of rice flour and sago flour. The green color of Cendol comes from either Suji leaves Pandan leaves. In many tourism destinations in Java Island, you can find many Es Cendol street sellers. Not only the taste, you can also take pleasure in watch the way the sellers serve this drink. First of all, the seller will pour a fluid of palm sugar in a glass or bowl. Next, the seller will pour a scoop of Cendol. Finally, the seller will pour in the coconut milk and add ice cubes. Jackfruit is one of the optional ingredients in making Es Cendol. Sometimes it is cut into tiny pieces but jackfruit is only use as an aroma mixed in the palm sugar liquid. The taste of Es Cendol is a combination of sweet from the palm sugar and savory from the coconut milk
Es Pisang Ijo
Es Pisang Ijo originated from Makasar, South Sulawesi. Es Pisang Ijo is translated in English as Green Banana Ice. As the name implies, Es Pisang Ijo uses banana as the main ingredient. The banana used for Es Pisang Ijo is ordinary yellow banana. The word greed comes from the green flour dough.
The green flour dough made from water, and green dye (Suji leaves or Pandan leaves). Es Pisang Ijo that uses Pandan leaves will have much fragrant scent compare to Suji leaves. The procedure of making Es Pisang Ijo is quite simple. After the bananas are being wrapped in green flour dough, the next step is steaming the bananas. When it is already cooked, the bananas are ready to be served. Just add some ice and pour the coconut milk sauce along with the DHT syrup DHT syrup is the typical red colored syrup from Makassar.

I share concerns raised by constituents about the proposed takeover of Sky by 21st Century Fox. The Culture Secretary should refer the bid to the regulator Ofcom once the government receives formal notification of the bid, so that the regulator can assess whether it would result in too much media power being concentrated in too few hands. Ofcom must also assess whether the Murdochs are 'fit and proper persons' to run a broadcaster.
When Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation sought complete ownership of BSkyB five years ago, the House of Commons united behind a motion calling for the bid to be withdrawn in the public interest. The concerns were not only about the serious wrongdoing being uncovered in the phone hacking scandal but about the concentration of media power and ownership in fewer hands.
Earlier this month, as soon as possible after Sky announced it had received an approach from 21st Century Fox, the Opposition asked an Urgent Question in the House of Commons, forcing the government to make a statement. The government was rightly pressed to refer the bid to Ofcom. It must ensure that this proposed deal is properly and independently scrutinised.
In addition, the government should not cancel the vital second part of the Leveson Inquiry, which would look at questions around unlawful or improper conduct within the Murdoch empire.

My cacti collection started when I was in fourth grade. Back then, no books or Google were available to get some information on how to grow these spiny plants. Despite my ignorance, I persevered to gain more knowledge about these 'ugly pretty'.
I was the only 10-year-old cacti collector among my plant-buddies, most of them were senior citizens or in the prime of their lives. They were Mrs. Ricarda Ragpala, Mrs. Rosita Kambal, Mrs. Palomares, Mrs. Salustiana Alvia to name a few. These ladies thought I was an amusing kid for I would often bug them about plant-FYI; they would invite me to go with them and visit the gardens of other plant collectors.
Cephalocereus senilis, (Old Man Cactus), Ariocarpus (Rock Cactus), Espostoa and Opuntia varieties were the craze during 1950s. Following the advise of my plant-buddies, I planted all these cacti in sterile sand encased in a plastic container; (we used the empty Star margarine containers as pots that time.) Watering my cacti was easy, I poured a small amount of water near the base of the plants, careful not the wet the cacti's body directly. In addition, I was not supposed to expose the potted plants in direct sunlight so I placed them near the window sill.
I could say that it was hit-or-miss; some plants thrive while others die but my cacti never produced flowers. Honestly, it didn't occur to me that they could ever produce pretty blooms until my Echinopsis subdenudata produced white flowers during the 1990's.
With the help of literature and collaboration with cacti growers, I've improved my methods on care and cultivation of my cacti, and also I've enjoyed their blooms.

My adjustment to the productive tranquility of retirement has been nearly painless. Just now, however, breaking news from California (where else?) has me as it were awash in nostalgia for the good old days of infantile political intrigue, backstabbing and simple bar-room brawling—otherwise known as "departmental politics"--in the ivied Halls of Academe. Perhaps there is opportunity here to branch out in my writing? Let me pitch my idea for a three-part TV mini-series entitled The Stakes So Small, taking my title from a hoary academic Q&A joke:
Q: Why is the infighting in Academe so fierce?
A: Because the stakes are so small.
Episode One: The demise of John the Scot, or how "Rate My Professor" worked before the days of the Internet. The scene : the grammar school, Malmesbury Abbey, in present-day Wiltshire, England. The time: ca. anno 875. John the Scot springs a pop quiz on his novices, with unhappy results. John the Scot is my favorite medieval philosopher, for the obscurity surrounding his person is perfectly matched by the incomprehensibility of his doctrines and the opacity of the modern scholarship devoted to him. We call him John the Scot because his name was Erigena and he was an Irishman; that's the way it works in my field. Erigena was one of the great intellectuals of the ninth century. (Yes, I hear the clown at the back of the class asking who the other one was.) He was unusual in that he knew Greek, and spread it pretty thick around his writings. So he called his most famous work the Periphyseon, which is rendered in Latin De divisione Naturae. But the choristers didn't want it in any language. They wanted to render John the Scot instead, and they stabbed him to death with their sharp-pointed writing tools. John, who had had a rather monochrome life, thus achieved a most stylish death. Unfortunately the account of the historian William of Malmesbury may actually be about another John the Scot, as there were lots of people who were not named John and who were not Scots.
Episode Two: The birth of the modern Democratic Party. The scene: telegraph office, Salem, Massachusetts. The time: May, 1910. Woodrow Wilson, president of Princeton University, and Andrew Fleming West, dean of its nascent graduate school, are both sons of the manse. Furthermore, they are of that stripe of Calvinist who, while firmly upholding the doctrine of the Total Depravity of Mankind, is pretty sure that he himself, personally, has never made a mistake. They have been warring for a decade about where the residential buildings for the Graduate School will be placed once the money is found to build them. Wilson wants to build in the heart of the undergraduate campus. West insists on a site some hundreds of yards distant atop of mound of earth with aspirations to become a hill.
Woodrow Wilson with Andrew Fleming West behind him. He should have watched his back.
Both cite unassailably high-minded reasons, but West has just won. Over many years he has assiduously cultivated a real estate tycoon in Salem MA (Isaac Wyman, Princeton Class of 1848). Wyman's dear old granddad had fought for our freedom at the Battle of Princeton (1777), and West has successfully insinuated the thought that building a memorial Gothic dining hall somewhere vaguely in the vicinity, or at least direction of the battlefield would be the best possible use of the Wyman fortune. West has just hotfooted it from Wyman's funeral to telegraph the news back to Princeton: Wyman, naming Andrew Fleming West as executor, has left a bequest of millions provided the money is spent as West directs.
General Washington points to the site of the future Graduate College
The reproof is too much for Woodrow Wilson to bear. He must find a new job, and the rest is history. In the good old days the Democratic Party had done quite well, thank you very much, bearing the standard of Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion, though branching out occasionally to pioneer powerful political machines in the burgeoning great cities of the Republic. When the Rebellion turned out rather badly it became the regional party of the Solid South, State Sovereignty, and Segregation. Woodrow Wilson began to change all that. He was one of the first American politicians to make a religious virtue of telling other people and indeed other nations how to live their lives. They have not stopped since. That is why ethanol production, which might be classified as a scam midway betwixt itinerant aluminum siding contracting and three-card monte, has been hailed as an ethical insight roughly comparable to the categorical imperative of Immanuel Kant.
Episode Three. A sea of troubles and irrational numbers. The scene: Santa Susana Hall, home of the Mathematics Department, California State University (Northridge), December, 2010. As this is a current event, I must count on readers to supply their own allegeds or allegedlys as liberally as needed. The star of the episode is an algebraic geometrician who, though in fact a binomial, will here and for obvious reasons be referred to simply as Professor Ρi. Professor Pi has been conducting a dispute with his colleague Professor Phi in a neighboring office. Custodians report repeatedly finding, on their early-morning rounds, suspicious puddles of acrid-smelling liquid pooled at the base of Professor Phi's office door. It seems possible, shockingly so, that in Shakespearean terms "the gilded puddle which beasts would cough at" might in some way be related to the ongoing quarrel, Pi/Phi. Acting upon these suspicions, innovative campus police take bold action. They install a closed circuit security camera that scans the moistened hallway.
According to reports, "[ Pi] was captured on videotape urinating on the door of another professor's office on the Northridge campus. School officials had rigged the camera after discovering puddles of what they thought was urine at the professor's door".
In the state of California performing an irrational number on a mathematician's door is not felonious; but Professor Pi is nonetheless in plenty of hot water, so to speak. He faces two misdemeanor charges. Even such baleful episodes of academic animosity as this one may advance the cause of science, however. The Northridge campus police , for example, seem to have raised the concept of peer review to an altogether new level. On the whole, however, your bloguiste is quite happy in his retired state, and to be laboring in the solitary calm of his home study.

We know what you're going to say. "I've not forgotten about Rockstar's Team Bondi-developed film noire detective adventure that was revealed in confusingly vague terms as long ago as October 2006, no doubt promising to surprise us with an unpredictable gameplay dynamic," before you frown and wonder, actually, what that unpredictable gameplay dynamic might be. Well, it turns out it might not be so unpredictable after all.
Because, in fact, LA Noire will be a free-roaming action game set in Los Angeles circa 1947. Sort of like, you might ask, a Grand Theft Auto game set in 1947? This isn't at all unlikely, while obviously involving the clear departure from GTA's criminal instincts by casting you on the other side of the thin blue line. Though your fedora-toting private dick probably isn't adverse to bending the lawinto the required shape.
But enough waffle, what about the facts? Here's a few titdbits revealed on an inexplicably in-the-loop blog called Surfer Girl Reviews Star Wars:
- It's a free-roaming, 1947-set, historically accurate game set in Los Angeles
- Developer Team Bondi has employed a costume designer for that accurate 40's look

We can't begin to credit the background or reliability of the SGRSW blog, but the info all seems right. However, with LA Noire delayed until 2009, we're guessing Rockstar won't be in a hurry to confirm the details any time soon.

ASA Logo Revealed
The Americans Serving Americans logo exemplifies the heart of the ASA Movement. The design for the ASA logo was inspired by a combination of America's constitutional values along with ASA's vision to restore power, prosperity, and hope to the American people.
Each component of the logo symbolizes a unique part of the ASA Movement. The bald eagle is the emblem of the ASA movement. The eagle symbolizes freedom, great strength, and sovereignty. Clenched between the eagle's powerful beaks is a banner that reads, WE THE PEOPLE. This banner represents a movement of unification For the People, By the People. Within the firm grasps of the eagle's talons, it carries a gavel and a scroll of money. The gavel symbolizes power, while the scroll of money illustrates wealth and prosperity.
Collectively, the elements within the logo embody the vision of the ASA Movement to restore power and money back into the hands of the American People!

We designed extensive exterior and interior renovations to convert a former school into the town library. Work was designed to be conducted in phases to accommodate budgetary constraints. One of the community's concerns was the preservation of the landscape.
The resulting design includes gardens that grace the library with a wide variety of flowers and plants echoing the beauty of the surrounding Berkshire Hills.
"The renovation of our library from a private school to a state-of-the-art, functional public library is remarkable. architecture+ has provided wonderful help and support even after almost five years after the renovation of our Library."

1 Corinthians 15:3-4 –"For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the day in accordance with the Scriptures."
Easter has come and gone, spring has sprung, and now we head into the busyness of spring and summer. Its time for outdoor activities and sports, for yard mowing, and other assorted lawn chores. It's time for picnics and cookouts, and maybe even a run or two in the park. It is a wonderful and busy time of year.
Sometimes when life gets busy, it is easy to forget things. Not too long ago I went out to get the mower ready for the season and to mow the grass and I forget where the key was from last year. The problem was easily fixed however as I went to one of the big box home and garden stores and just brought a universal key. One of my friends asked me, "did you get two?" I said, "No". Their reply was "you should have." And I imagine they were right. It is easy to forget things, even important things when life gets busy.
Paul however does not want the Christians at Corinth to forget the Easter event. He does not want them to forget the cross or the empty tomb. He wants them to continually remember the sacrifice that Jesus paid for us and also the good news that death could not hold Him. Paul keeps those facts before his reader in all of his letters, but in 1 Corinthians he says, "I delievered to you of first importance." In other words he is saying I want you to know what is supremely important and that is the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Don't ever forget that, keep it always before you. It is the Gospel and as one person put it, "preach the Gospel to yourself everyday."
Remind yourself continually of the Gospel. It is the power of God to salvation. Without the cross and without the empty tomb, we are still in our sins, we are still under the wrath of God, we are unforgiven, and we have to go through this world alone. If Jesus is not crucified we cannot be forgiven and if He is not raised, we have no one to go all the way through this world with us, for only He has promised to "never leave us or forsake us." Without the Gospel we are hopeless and we are alone in our hopelessness, because a dead God can't be there with us, or listen to us when we pray, or give us forgiveness, or strength, or wisdom, or love. Without the cross and resurrection, life is meaningless. But as Paul would say, "thanks be to God", we do have the resurrection. Jesus really is alive. He really is listening to us as we pray, and He really is praying for us. He really does walk through life with us, and He really does give us His wisdom and His strength (read 1 Corinthians 1, and remember as you read it that if Jesus were still dead none of those things are possible).
No wonder Paul says "I give you these things and they are of first importance." This is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, that He died on a cross for our sins, that He was buried and that 3 days later, He rose again, and He is alive. This is the Gospel and it is of first importance. Don't ever forget it. Keep it continually before you. You can forget a lot of things and life not really be any different, but if you forget the Gospel, life becomes almost hopeless. So don't forget it. But in reality if you've been touched by it, how could you ever forget the wonderous love and power of God.

Our Work
Our vision is to transform Eastern Washington into the state's healthiest region, and every investment we make goes toward creating measurable, sustainable health improvements. We believe that health is about more than just medicine; health outcomes are influenced by external factors such as the availability of resources to meet daily needs like food and shelter, access to quality education and job training, and access to job opportunities. Our work is aimed at addressing these problems upstream, investing in sustainable systems change that results in healthier, more vibrant communities for all.
To this end, we hold ourselves accountable to achieving measurable improvements in the following four focus areas:
Improving Health Outcomes
Taking a broad view of health, we seek to move the needle on some of our regions toughest problems, from reducing childhood obesity to preventing and mitigating adverse childhood experiences to reducing health disparities in Indian Country, especially among youth and elders. We believe that the healthy choice should be the easy choice, and we work with a variety of partners to implement systems changes to get results. Our most recent child welfare partnership with Children's Administration has led to the creation of a new subsidiary, the Family Impact Network, which will work to improve outcomes for children and families in the child welfare system.
Strengthening Health Systems
We believe in an affordable, sustainable, and accessible health care delivery system for all. Through our subsidiary, Better Health Together, we are seeing radical reductions in uninsured in our region, and we are working to achieve the tenets of the Triple Aim: better health, better care, and reduced costs.
Growing Physician Supply
Supporting healthier communities depends on a strong supply of providers to meet the demand for high quality care, and one of the most significant factors affecting where a physician will practice is where he or she completed residency training. In response to a shortage of physicians in our region, we have partnered with Providence Health Care and Washington State University Spokane to create the Spokane Teaching Health Consortium, with the goal of increasing the number of residency slots in Eastern Washington by 60% in 2018.
Building Nonprofit Capacity
We cannot transform Eastern Washington into the state's healthiest region alone, so we invest in strengthening our nonprofit sector by attracting outside funding to Eastern Washington. Growing the pie of available resources encourages collaboration and strengthens partnership, which we believe is the only way to get the measurable, sustainable results we are all seeking. A unique part of our capacity building work, our permanent home, the Philanthropy Center, provides convening space to local nonprofits to build partnerships and leverage impact.

2 Weeks (Apr 2016)
Team & Role
I worked alongside with another teammate. My role was the UX Designer with additional focus on UI & Visual Design
Product Strategy
Information Architecture
Visual Design
This is an assignment I did for an online course in 2016. Nextdoor, a social network for neighbors, needs a way to increase user and community engagements. They want to experiment a program called the Speaker Series, a service that allows a community member to open up their homes to host talks by thought leaders.
Social Needs vs Lack of Resources!
Preliminary survey shows that users are willing to host talks at home but worry that guests won't have a good time given the lack of time, resources and knowledge of hosting.
To better understand how to help hosts, we conducted 6 user interviews:
Then, we used Affinity Mapping to synthesize data,
and we found 3 main painpoints & motivations:
Forming deeper connection with neighbors over shared interest is the main motivation for hosting a community event at home.
People have trouble managing logistics of hosting community events.
People have anxiety over how to provide a delightful experience for guests.
Based on our synthesis, we created 2 personas -- Young future thought leader & Busy Working Professional, -- and
a Journey Map:
Our solution was to create a flow on the app that allows users to enjoy the intellectual exchange with thought leaders and neighbors without feeling anxious about the hosting itself.
We broke down the experience into 3 parts - Pre-talk; During-talk; Post-talk
1. Search for Speakers based on Interests.
Research showed that interesting topic was the main reason for people to either host or attend a talk at home. Therefore, we designed the UI that allows users to search for a speaker by theme.
2. Event Creation Flow Designed to Address Users' Concerns.
3. Pre-event Management Flow for Users to Keep Track of Updates and Action Items Before the Talk
4. Event Management UI During the Talk For Host to Stay Organized.
These are several future steps that Nextdoor can take to improve users' experience even further:
1. New service - Dine with a thought leader
2. Research on attendees - We believe more research on the attendees will definitely increase the overall experience of Nextdoor's Speaker Series.

What is the Difference Between Taking Action and Community Service?
I've attended a great variety of Girl Scout Award and Bridging events in our local Associations since the end of April. Each of them has been special in its own way and each of the girls has inspired us with projects that show what girls can do. THANK YOU to all of our girls and Troops who have worked to make the world better place while earning the Girl Scout Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards. Each of these awards are the symbol of the work that you have done and that work is more than a symbol -- it is proof of your own courage, confidence and character. Hooray for all of our girls who have reached these milestones!
|Lynbrook Girl Scouts Dedicate Juliette Gordon Low Park
In recent years the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, requires that each Girl Scout Bronze, Silver and Gold Award included not just community service, but most importantly, that girls step up and Take Action.
Take Action projects go beyond working in a soup kitchen, collecting toiletries, food or pet supplies. Take Action Projects are designed to look at the root cause of a problem—like why people are hungry or homeless or why pets are in shelters. Once the root cause is known, educate yourself and others about those issues. Once the real problem is better understood, girls then establish a team with another individual or with an organization, and look for ways to eliminate the problem. Maybe the solution is to change a law, or maybe it is even harder ... maybe people need to be educated and have their minds changed. Take Action Projects all require a way to keep the project going -- make it sustainable beyond the time that the girl is working on her award, and into the foreseeable future.
Girls can tackle hard problems in their own school yards, such as the Illinois Brownies who were worried about the air quality in their neighborhood, and who went on to measure the air around their school for toxins. They then established a garden with plants and trees to measurably improve the quality of the air. As the garden grows, the air in their neighborhood will improve.
|Community Service v. Take Action Chart by GSWISE
So as you are enjoying the summer, consider some of the issues facing your neighborhood and the groups and/or organizations that you know who deal with issues that you think are important. Think about our Long Island communities, our state, our region, our country and beyond. What can a girl do to make the world a better place? Breathe, think, and get ready to START your own Take Action project!
If you are looking for some more resources on the Girl Scout Awards, try Girl Scouts of Nassau County's Girl Scout Awards webpages. From this page you can click through to the area for your age group, and there are additional resources at the bottom of the Bronze, Silver and Gold Award pages.
Visit GSUSA's Interactive Map, to see what other Girl Scouts are doing for their Take Action Projects. Once you complete your project, it too can be submitted.
Take Action Girl Scouts!

The Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra - Playing Well With Others
A full-length documentary film about how classical chamber music teaches young people to play well with others--in music and in life!
The Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra - Playing Well With Others
A full-length documentary film about how classical chamber music teaches young people to play well with others--in music and in life!
We're launching an ambitious full-length documentary film about The Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra (PACO) and its mission of teaching young people to play well with others in music and in life. This second stage goal or PHASE TWO follows a successful campaign to produce PHASE ONE, a short film on the same subject already made possible with your help on Kickstarter.com!
And, yes, the short film is now DONE!
We've posted the short film we're calling PHASE ONE on Kickstarter.com above to share it with you and to give you a clear and deeper understanding of what we envision, our capability--and why we believe the story of PACO will inspire you, too!
Thank you for all your generous support to make PHASE ONE a reality!
A team of talented filmmakers landed in Palo Alto in October 2012 to roll cameras for PHASE ONE--interviewing students, musicians, teachers, parents, alums, volunteers, staff--many extended family members of The Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra (PACO).
The film team was received with open arms and given complete access to capture the magic and essence of this worthy, non-profit organization which has touched the lives of so many families since its founding in 1966.
Many legendary teachers who knew PACO's founding conductor William Whitson, granted rare access to our cameras to help the filmmakers better understand what sets this chamber ensemble orchestra apart and why its mission is so relevant and significant today and in the future!
After four days and nights of cameras rolling, dozens of complex camera set-ups, massive amounts of data wrangling, transcoding and color correcting, and many late night meals provided by PACO volunteer families, the film team returned to Los Angeles. We worked around-the-clock with three editors to complete the post-production process! PHASE ONE was truly an experience of a lifetime.
And, hey, we're just getting started!
Every frame of footage shot in PHASE ONE is part of a much bigger and ambitious project which we're now calling PHASE TWO: a full-length documentary film about the history, the musicians, the teachers, the generations of families of PACO--the lives it has impacted and changed, the careers in both music and outside of music it has launched and most of all the worthy mission of the Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra!
Some PACO alums have gone on to play for the great orchestras of the world including the New York Philharmonic while others have become renowned solo artists and teachers. Others have gone on to successful careers in business, medicine, technology and education--you name it! But, they all have one thing in common: they learned to play well with others early in life and that lesson impacted them to later become great teammates, collaborators, co-workers, managers, parents, husbands, wives and friends.
The message of learning to play well with others continues to resonate beyond the extended family of PACO across decades and continents. Many of you have written us expressing support, encouragement and resources. The message of playing well with others has inspired backers from across the country and across oceans to support these two film projects on kickstarter.com. WOW! Has word spread quickly! Over 100 People on Facebook "liked" our PHASE ONE PROJECT...over 100 UNIQUE BACKERS on kickstarter.com helped us exceed our funding goals for PHASE ONE! Now, we need you to please do the same.
We really are "The Little Engine That Could!" and with your help and support we can!
The full documentary of PACO in PHASE TWO, will ensure that cameras roll as the chamber ensemble travels to Italy with its centuries-long history and tradition of classical music. Did you know that the violin family first appeared in essentially its modern form in northern Italy? It is believed that the violin actually originated from Italy in the early 1500s!
PHASE TWO is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness these bright, young musicians discovering the birthplace of modern classical music while performing in some of the most beautiful and significant concert venues in Italy.
More importantly, the documentary will serve as a historical record of an organization that has raised the bar in musical education and fostering cooperation among young musicians of diverse backgrounds, ethnicities and walks of life since the mid-1960's! Volunteers, parents and supportive patrons like you have helped PACO grow in a time when cutbacks for funding of the arts, public school music education and public awareness of classical music have changed how our children learn about music.
The filmmakers believe the message of hope can help other youth music programs and inspire people from different generations and professions to do what these talented young people do: to learn how to play well with others.
And, now some really great news! The world renowned cellist Matt Haimovitz who began his musical journey as a member of PACO has agreed to tour with the chamber orchestra in Italy! Which means our cameras will be rolling as Matt shares his musical insights and knowledge with these young musicians and with you!
Matt made his debut in 1984 at the age of thirteen, as a soloist with Zubin Mehta and the Israel Philharmonic. At seventeen, he made his first recording with James Levine and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for Deutsche Grammophon (Universal Classics). He has gone on to perform with the world's great orchestras including the New York Philharmonic with Zubin Mehta, the Boston Symphony Orchestra with Leonard Slatkin and the Cleveland Orchestra with Charles Dutoit. Matt's performances are available on Oxingale Records.
We really want to make sure this project can happen. We've come so far and we cannot stop now. So, now more than ever is the time to spread the word and to tell your friends, colleagues, family, fellow musicians and music lovers about our kickstarter.com campaign. You've got us this far! Now, let's hear your cadenza.
You're amazing!
So, please help us get cameras rolling for PHASE TWO and remind everyone why this truly is...
Founded in 1966, the Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra (PACO) brings together talented young musicians of high school age and younger.
Members often spend 5-10 years working closely and by joining this extended musical family, young people learn a vital skill: how to play well with others--not only as fellow musicians, but as people from diverse cultural backgrounds who form lifetime friendships and can to contribute to a team. They leave PACO learning something that they take away with them for life! In a world that often glorifies personal glory over a team effort, PACO instills the value of serving the group, not individual goals--all through the unique art form of chamber music.
The results have been remarkable.
As filmmakers, we feel passionate about bringing this refreshing, inspiring and original story to a wider audience because we think it can motivate others from all walks of life and remind them about the power of the human spirit. This is not just a small, sweet story about the dying art form of classical music. The heart and soul of the story about reaching inside someone and learning what it takes to give selflessly of time, energy and life force to others. And, realizing that if a child can do that in music, then all of us can learn to do the same in life. In our workplace. In our homes. In marriage. In community. In life.
Every student who enters PACO goes through a rigorous audition process. While it attracts some of the most technically gifted and musical young minds, it's not just about hitting the right notes. The mighty beating heart of PACO rests in the gifted young musicians, families, volunteers and teachers who value gratitude, humility and teamwork. We're awed and humbled by their generosity of spirit and their can-do approach. Everyone pitches in and helps on any level--every student is regarded with the same level of importance. Players rotate chairs so everyone has a chance to work under the baton of PACO's music director, Benjamin Simon, who has led the organization since 2002.
Maestro Simon possesses the rare gift of being able to explain what the music means to people of all ages and all backgrounds including those in the audience who have no knowledge of classical music. Mr. Simon made the successful transition to conductor following twenty-five years as a violist performing with some of the greatest orchestras in the world including The New York Philharmonic and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Today, he serves as the Music Director and Conductor of PACO as well as the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra which he transformed into one of the premiere professional ensembles in California.
To the filmmakers, Benjamin Simon is reminiscent of the legendary Leonard Bernstein who a generation ago, impacted and reached an international audience in his nationally televised "Young People's Concerts" which inspired children and parents to care deeply about classical music.
It's been a long time since we've seen someone willing to share that message with the public. Through humor, wit and a razor-sharp intellect, Mr. Simon draws you into a world of chamber music and we promise you will be glad you went along for the ride.
Since we've gone "live" on kickstarter.com we have heard from not only current and recent students of PACO, but also many musicians who played and cherished their time with the organization's original founder and conductor, Maestro William Whitson.
Maestro Whitson, a respected violinist and teacher, led PACO for its first thirty-seven years. We've talked to many colleagues, teachers, friends and students who knew Bill even before PACO was launched and they have expressed their support of this documentary film because they want future generations to understand the lasting impact this experience has made on their lives.
There are TWO PHASES to bring this story to a wider audience. We already successfully completed PHASE ONE (many thanks again!), and now we're launching PHASE TWO with this new kickstarter.com campaign.
PHASE ONE - was a short documentary film of about ten minutes in length. You can see what your generous donations and pledges produced in the short film we've posted at the top of the screen.
We raised enough funds for camera and equipment rentals, crew and expenses. The film director recruited some of the very best working professionals in the film and television industry to lend their time, energy and talent to this project. Many of the production team have earned over 100 show credits on network and major cable shows as well as feature films. We shot PHASE ONE with Epic Red System cameras and edited the film on Final Cut Pro using Apple Computers. The crew consisted of students, volunteers, parents, seasoned professionals and most of all the musical artists, staff and board of PACO.
PHASE TWO - A full-length feature documentary of approximately 90-minutes in length.
The documentary will expand on the short film as PACO travels to Italy to share its message and music with an international audience. The feature will be a hypnotic, modern, visually and aurally compelling presentation that conveys the emotion, the power of classical music, the uplifting mission of PACO--playing well with others, set against the cultural backdrop of Italy in all its grand splendor. We want the audience to feel the joy and struggle of young musicians as they feel what it is like to reach for a higher bar while traveling to the birth-place of modern instrument making in Cremona, Italy and play well with other young musicians a half a world away.
If you are interested in pledging support, offering resources, joining our filmmaking team or have any questions, please contact us through this site.
We're a dedicated group of industry professionals many of whom have earned over 100 show credits working on highly visible films and television shows for major networks and leading cable networks.
Our director is an award-winning storyteller who recruited an experienced production team committed to backing worthy projects that employ state-of-the-art technology and some of the most talented craftsmen and craftswomen working in the business today.
Our team is hand-picked and we're always looking for talented people who know what it means to "play well with others" and to excel at their craft. We're interested in giving our time and talent back to the community--and we firmly believe it's important to lend our ability to projects of worthy merit, not just about the bottom line. Our director runs a private consulting practice that serves start-ups, pre-IPO companies, branded companies, private clients and non-profits. We specialize in building brands with feature-film quality trailers that tell a story in a way that no one else can.
A recent project was a half-hour documentary about the Native American culture and art hosted by former US Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor with a rare appearance by Muhammad Ali who supports the message of peace and social justice.
Kickstarter is a crowd-source funding platform that allows people just like you to make donations towards ideas like our documentaries and turn them into reality. You can donate any amount you wish to. We understand and value every single dollar and what it means especially to working class families on a budget. In exchange, you can know by doing your part to help "kickstart" the documentary, you will receive some cool gifts and a whole lot of gratitude.
Please remember that Kickstarter is an "all or nothing" deal which means that we can only be funded if we reach our total goal. So please accept our thanks in advance for being generous. To donate, please click on the "Back This Project" button on the top right of this page. We're grateful for a dollar or any amount that you can pledge.
Thank you for watching!
This documentary is dedicated to the musicians, teachers, volunteers, parents, friends, supporters, artists, luthiers, audiences--and to you! The extended family of PACO!
Risks and challenges
Risks - We're hoping that we can fulfill your rewards according to our estimated timetable. However, there are always possible delays when it comes to making a film--and the post-production process of a full-length documentary is a huge and complex problem solving puzzle. So, we must please ask for your patience in delivering your earned prizes for your generous pledges.
Shipping - The post office can sometimes lose stuff. So, please know that we will monitor our mail through kickstarter and answer any questions you may have to ensure you receive your awards.
This worthy non-profit has been powered by volunteers and generous donors over the years. From a financial standpoint, the organization's health has been sustained under the careful and watchful eye of its board, appointed officers several of whom hold full-time positions with leading technology companies in Silicon Valley. PACO is financially healthy because our people pick up paperclips and save where we can for a rainy day. Most of all, we value the idea of giving the same opportunity to learn to future generations of talented young musicians.
PHASE TWO represents a new chapter in PACO's timeline and requires a tremendous amount of constant care to help "uplift" the mission to a broader audience. It will require continued patience, time, manpower and resources outside the scope of the organization. We understand that all good things must grow and change with the times or be left behind. PACO intends to lead and show what can be done even in a time of crisis for the arts. With your help and pledges, amazing things can be done.
Any film requires a distributor if it is to eventually find a wider audience. We plan to offer the documentary to a variety of traditional and modern distribution platforms to gain the type of access to a broader audience that we hope to reach with the message of "playing well with others." That being said, we cannot control the distribution process. Some very high profile projects that have gone on to become popular films sit on a shelf sometimes for years before they are selected for distribution. While that is not our plan, we believe a good story will always find a home. And, this is a very good story.
Challenges - There really is never enough time or resources. In order to meet our deadlines and deliver a full length documentary film, we must reach the proper funding levels to complete the production PHASE TWO. This, in turn, will allow us to hire the key personnel, rent the proper equipment, plan the process of pre-production, production and post-production.
The ample experience and commitment of the extended family of PACO will ensure that the mission of the organization will see the light of day. Proof positive is in the quality and execution of PHASE ONE. Many of the same team that brought PHASE ONE to reality are now involved and committed to PHASE TWO. We are blessed with a talented and generous group of filmmakers, storytellers, teachers, parents, educators, businessmen, businesswomen and most of all the amazing musicians of PACO--past, present and future.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

In early 1999 David reached out to his father and asked if he was interested in fulfilling a lifelong dream of working together. His partnership at the time wasn't working out and he was interested in establishing a new engineering firm. The two had contemplated such an endeavor in the 1980's and early 1990's as David worked his way up in Carter's general contracting company. Using David's foundation as partner in a small Sarasota firm as a springboard, Karins Engineering Group was incorporated in August 1999.
David G. Karins, PE, President
David G. Karins has civil engineering experience with practice specialization in structural and general civil engineering. His background encompasses all aspects of the typical engineering project, including analysis, design, plan preparation, specification writing, report preparation, consulting during permitting and bidding, and field observations of work-in-progress. Mr. Karins is active in the community and serves on industry boards of directors at the local and national levels.
F. Carter Karins, PE, CEO
F. Carter Karins has mechanical engineering experience with practice specialization in design and engineering of hydraulically operated cranes, packaging machines and systems and fluid dynamics. Mr. Karins also has an extensive background in construction management, real estate development, residential design and light commercial design. This diverse combination of experience makes Mr. Karins uniquely qualified to provide consulting services during planning, design and construction phases of building projects, as well as consulting services for the design of machine components and systems.

As I said, Catholic liberals love to honor pro-aborts -- and our bishops won't stop them
Now comes word from the Cardinal Newman Society (click on this post's title) that tomorrow night (October 21) the School of Law at Santa Clara University will give a "Justice and Human Rights Award" to Leon Panetta, who was 100% pro-aborting babies when he was a congressman and when he was White House chief of staff to 100% pro-abortion Bill "Slick Willie" Clinton.
LifeNews.com reports that as White House chief of staff, Panetta even defended Clinton's cruel veto of a bill to outlaw slaying baby girls and boys who are partly born ("partial-birth abortion").
Our U.S. bishops could stop these scandalous pro-abortion awards ceremonies once and for all. They could enforce the order they gave Catholic institutions several years ago, to not honor pro-aborts. The bishops just need to PUNISH the liberals for defying them.
That'll be the day.

HERE'S a book to read to avoid the cliches of Bangkok. It is titled Bangkok Blondes and it is a collection of short stories and poems about Bangkok by 14 women writers (13 Westerners and one Thai) who are from the Bangkok Women's Writers Group (BWWG).
"It is a good book to read before you come to Bangkok as it gives you an idea of real everyday life in Bangkok. And it pays attention to the small things in life," gushes Anette Pollner, who is the coordinator of BWWG, which was founded in 2000.
Bangkok Blondes, notes Pollner, is different from 90% of the English-language non-fiction books published in Thailand because it is not testosterone-laden with Bangkok stereotypes such as a farang (Thai for westerner) falling in love with bar girls or a farang ending up in prison.
These books (My Name Lon, You Like Me? Even Thai Girls Cry. A Farang Affair), which are written by farang male writers, says Pollner, portray aspects (such as prostitution, drugs, gangster and prison) of Bangkok which are completely different from the experience of the majority of the Thai and farang population in the City of Angels.
"As a resident of this city I feel angry that Bangkok has been misrepresented in a very negative way," declares the over-40 writer who has been living in the Big Mango, as Bangkok is affectionately known, since 2003.
When Pollner, who describes herself as a citizen of the world, returns to Europe, she is usually asked, "Isn't living in Bangkok dangerous?" or "Aren't there many bar girls in your street?"
"When I tell them, 'No, Bangkok is safe' or 'No, in my whole district there aren't any bar girls', they don't believe me because they believe the (cliche-laden) books they've read," relates the farang who lives in Ari, a trendy district.
Pollner's Bangkok is far removed from Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza, which are Bangkok's touristy red light area. Her life revolves around the Bangkok Opera (she's the theatre director), National Museum (she's a volunteer) and BWWG.
You get the picture. She breathes a cultured, cosmopolitan life.
However, she admits that before visiting the Thai capital she thought it was "seedy, full of bar girls, and you have to be careful not to get shot in the street".
In 2003, while backpacking around the world, Pollner decided to visit the City of Angels for three nights and found her notions were false.
"My experience was against the cliche – farang women can't find love in Bangkok. I met my lover here. And he was not a bar boy but someone I could have met in London," reveals the writer whose story of that romance The Last of the Great White Lovers is immortalised in Bangkok Blondes.
The cliche that love eludes farang women in Bangkok, according to Pollner, is a malicious propaganda by men who visit the city to have sex with bar girls because they could not find a partner back in Europe.
There are Thai-based websites where these men write hate message against Western women who live in Bangkok, she adds.
Ironically, as the manuscript compiler of Bangkok Blondes, Pollner reinforces the stereotype when she include Jess Tansutat's short story Butterfly Game, which is about how it could be frustrating for Western women living in Bangkok to find real romantic partner.
"The choices for decent men are limited here," writes Jess, who is a Thai.
"There are several possible factors. Although Thai and Asian men are generally sweet and gentle, they can also be a bit immature and too feminine.
"The ones who are good-looking, dress well and smart can turn out to be the 'sorry, lady, I'm gay' type. (Farang guys) are spoilt. Thailand is just a big playground for them."
Refusing to be drawn into a discussion on whether Jess's story is a cliche, Pollner points out there are other stories in the book where various authors narrate their relations with men in Bangkok.
For example, Chloe Trindall's trilogy titled Love Bangkok Style focuses on her romance with a poor Thai boy from a small village in Isaan.
So what's real everyday life in Bangkok?
In Anna Bennetts' Ghostbusters, it is speaking to the spirit haunting a farang woman's new apartment.

Real-life Bangkok romances aren't typical Western cliches

Hi Philip,
Seems Ms. Pollner (did I get the name correct?) hasn't read my books very closely. None are set in Bangkok, none talk about gangsters, and none degrade the Thais in any way. The nightlife is so much of the Pattaya scene that I would look stupid if I ignored it. I would ask why she is in Bangkok hooking up with a Thai man. Perhaps she is setting a double standard?

Migration is in full swing!
Ah, it's the special time of year when I drive around looking for flooded farm fields and get the opportunity to misidentify shorebirds. We've had several flooded fields thanks to some heavy rain storms in Minnesota this summer. My neighborhood flooded again two weeks ago. In general, I like shorebirds--they are cute, have crazy shaped beaks and run around comically as they probe mud or sand for food. But they do have a tendency to defy the field guides or at least my understanding of them. If your travels over the next few weeks take you to some shallow waters in a flood farm field or around some sod farms, take a closer look. Even if the field looks deserted of birds with the naked eye, give it a quick scan with binoculars, you might be surprised at what you find.
Some of these birds, like least sandpipers are the size of sparrows and easy to miss. But the sure are adorable to watch as they probe for food.
Here's an example of my misidentification misadventures: I tried to make the four birds above from left to right a solitary sandpiper, a lesser yellowlegs, least sandpiper and least sandpiper. Turns out that both the 2 larger birds are solitary sandpipers and different plumages. There go birds again--not living up to the field guide name. Shorebird id is so much like a logic problem.
I get excited when I do find easily recognizable shorebirds like the above Wilson's snipe. I saw several working a farm field southwest of the Twin Cities. Not only do I enjoy these birds for their identify-ability, but they look so strange, with the super long bill. What kind of squishy bugs and crustaceans can a bill like that detect. According to All About Birds, snipe have sensory pits at the tip of the bill which allows them to feel its prey deep in the mud. I often wonder what it's like to experience the world as a bird when it can see in the ultraviolet spectrum, but how about detecting things with your mouth--crazy!
The field had several shorebirds, mostly pectoral sandpipers, but as I scanned, I found several snipe lurking in the vegetation. They look similar to woodcocks but an easy way to tell them apart is the striping over the head. The above poor guy kept trying to take a snooze but was constantly interrupted by foraging shorebirds or more snipe calling as they landed in the same field.
I do have mixed feelings about the shorebird migration this year and feel an especially hard pull to go out and really watch birds and enjoy them. I love seeing them and I wonder if their numbers will plummet. I wonder how many are off to the Gulf and how many we will lose on the way down and on the way back up. Has their fuel supply been altered in some way we can't detect yet? Will they find food, but will it be contaminated and force many birds to die in the Gulf waters rather than flying over the whole body of water? Migration is tricky business and I always wonder who will be strong enough to survive and return next year, but the oil contamination in the surrounding Gulf marshes could kill more birds.
There's a really, really good article at One Earth that even has some quotes by bird people who know far more than I do like Laura Erickson and Scott Weidendsaul. It's a good read and highlights many points anyone involved with birds has about the Gulf Spill not being over. I know BP and surprisingly some government officials want us to believe that it's over, but it is not. Just because the oil is below the surface and "out of sight" does not mean it is gone.

Sometimes Charles Darwin should be wrong. I'm not in favor of invalidating evolution, mind you. I just think that the other processes than strict natural selection should come into play in certain situations. I think the character of John Nash summed this up best in the film A Beautiful Mind when he said:
If we all go for the blonde and block each other, not a single one of us is going to get her. So then we go for her friends, but they will all give us the cold shoulder because no on likes to be second choice. But what if none of us goes for the blonde? We won't get in each other's way and we won't insult the other girls. It's the only way to win. It's the only way we all get laid.
Sometimes it's better to be cooperating as a group for a group's benefit, rather than competing in the "dog eat dog" world of natural selection. In that world, it's every cockroach for himself.
These ruminations are being fed by the office politics at here company O. Here is the situation: we have two Vice-Presidents that we'll call Cain and Abel working in different divisions of Company O. They both have underlings that are pursuing projects with similar, if not identical, goals and deliverables. Rather than collaborate and eliminate duplicated effort, Cain and Abel have decided to race to see who can deliver first in some weird exercise in competitive social Darwinism in order to curry favor with our El Supremo CEO.
Now if that isn't bad enough, I work in Abel's division. Abel has two Senior Managers, Jacob and Esau; I work directly for Esau. When presented with the goal delivering something for Abel to beat Cain to the punch, as it were, they both commit resources to producing what Abel wants because both want to curry favor with Abel. So, Jacob and Esau are now competing to produce something for Abel, so Abel can compete with Cain to curry favor with El Supremo.
A little explanation about the relationship between Jacob's and Esau's teams makes it clear why this is particuarly depressing and stupid. As a matter of history, Jacob's team has a history of taking product our team develops (remember, I work for Esau), making minor improvements which we help to complete, complaining that we don't help them enough, and then take credit as if they were responsible for everything from day one. Since both Jacob and Esau both are committed to finish this project for Abel, Jacob has taken the attitude that his team would "lead" and Esau's team could "help". Of course, history is repeating itself — Jacob's team wants resources, personnel, and product from our team, but then refuse to share credit. So, again, rather than cooperate and share, a certain level of competition rears its ugly head.
A shrewd fellow, this Jacob, when he makes this strategy work. He justifies his existence and the existence of his team in the eyes of his superiors, while he gets other people not on his payroll to do most of the work. That's a got a real upside for him; the only thing he lacks is integrity.
Not so for us, I'm afraid. This whole situation is depressing a lot of people I work with. Why? To use John Nash's example, we know that everyone is hitting on the blonde, and no one is probably going to get laid. And how stupid is that?

On Twitter yesterday, someone Tweeted the following:
"Conservatives go on and on about 'freedom' right up until two guys kiss."
And that seemed funny and true. So I retweeted it.
And then someone else chimed in with the reminder that there are (or used to be) two kinds of "conservatives":
- the traditional kind, who worry about things like big government deficits and too much regulation, and
- the new kind, who want to re-combine (the Christian) church and state, overturn Roe v. Wade, diss education, reject science, ban gay marriage (and homosexuality), teach creationism as fact, and so forth.
In other words, in the common lingo, there are "fiscal conservatives" and "social conservatives."
But the bummer for anyone who considers him or herself a fiscal conservative is that the word "conservative" is being grossly misused and warped by the second usage.
There is nothing "conservative" about wanting to ban gay marriage and abortion, emphasize Christian religious values in government decisions, teach creationism, et al.
Although the folks who advocate such policies take care to frame them as issues of "freedom," "smaller government," and "state's rights," this is just clever marketing.
It would not increase "freedom" to ban gay marriage or abortion. It would increase regulation and restriction. It would make government regulation and enforcement more over-bearing, not less.
Specifically, it would force everyone else in the country to hew to the moral views of a distinct minority of citizens—a minority who are arrogant enough to believe that what they think is "right" and what everyone else thinks is "wrong."
The decision by these folks to label themselves "conservative" was a brilliant marketing move, because it associated them with reasonable Americans who love what their country stands for (freedom) and actually do support self-determination, equality, the right to pursue happiness, and other critical tenets of American freedom.
But these folks are not conservative.
In fact, they're the opposite of conservative.
They're actually aggressive, in that they feel justified in imposing their own moral and religious values on everyone else.
So, speaking on behalf of fiscal conservatives, maybe it's time we came up with a new label for these folks—the so-called "social conservatives."
We're accepting suggestions in the comments below.
In the meantime, we'll just call them "Aggressives."
