Why Do You Want To Work From Home?
The number one question you need to ask yourselves is why do you want to work from home? Everyone has there own intentions for wanting to work from home. My reasons were quite simple. I had a high paying job as a supervisor making a good living. But that was all I was doing was making a living. I didn't have a life! Does this sound like you?
I would get up every day go to work for 10 or 12-hour shifts come home and take a shower, get something to eat, set up for a few hours of family time and then have to get in the bed so I could do it all over again the next day. Most of the time If I didn't have to work on the weekends; I was so tired I didn't feel like doing anything except resting up for the following week.
So as you can see that is not a life! That is called making a living!
So, if you know your, reason why you want to work from home. Then your next questions should be how am I going to be able to do it? And what kind of work at home jobs are available? So I started researching on the computer for things like how to work at home opportunities.
How To Work At Home And Earn Money Online?
The two home-based business models I came across the most where network marketing and affiliate marketing. I worked in a sheet metal manufacturing company for 34 years, and I had no clue as to how to do either of these kinds of online businesses. But I knew a lot of people were making lots of money doing these types of activities online.
And it allowed them to have the freedom to create a good life for themselves and their families where they could work from anywhere in the world. I figured if they can do it! So can I and so can you! That's what I wanted to be able to do is to create a life and not just make a living.
I had no prior experience in affiliate or network marketing, and maybe you don't either. I just knew I needed to learn how. So I had to figure out how to work at home with a job still supporting me in case, I failed. I searched for what is the best internet marketing course for beginners.
So let's discuss affiliate marketing first. What it is as well as some of the pros and cons. I should mention I have been doing affiliate marketing now for a little over three years. Then we will discuss what network marketing is and some of the pros and cons of it as well.
Not all affiliate programs pay out the same commissions. So you will want to research them and see which ones pay out the most significant percentages. You will have to build an audience or visitors to your website to start getting enough traffic to start making any money from your affiliate links. So now you know pretty much the way affiliate marketing works.
The Pros And Cons In Affiliate Marketing.
- Flexible work schedule.
- You own your own business.
- You're the boss.
- You can create passive or residual income.
- Affiliate marketing is a billion-dollar business.
- No limit for how much income you can earn.
- You can build multiple niche websites.
- You can have many different affiliate programs.
- Don't have to stock or ship products.

- You will have to pay on average $50 a month for hosting.
- Affiliate hijacking can occur in which you're not given credit for your referral.
- Companies can change their affiliate programs or cancel you at any time.
Network Marketing
What is network marketing? Also known as Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) or (Pyramid Schemes). First off I want to start off by saying that network marketing has been given a bad reputation because of a few unscrupulous companies which I won't name. But that doesn't mean that all network marketing companies are evil or that you can't make any money with them.
The Pros And Cons Of Network Marketing.
- With the right products, you usually can make some money pretty quickly.
- They usually provide you with websites which are already set-up.
- You don't have to write new content continually.
- You don't have to worry about getting ranked on the first page of Google.
- Network marketing provides you with a flexible work schedule.
- You can create passive or residual income.

- Repeat customers if you have a good product or service.
- You can't customize your website to your liking.
- No guarantee of income.
- It can be a lot of hard work.
- A lot of competition.
- You will usually pay a minimum monthly fee to earn commissions from your downline.
- You could be out of business if the company decides to shut down.
- With some companies, you somewhat depend on your team to help you earn good money.
- Trying to Find the right company for you.
- You have no control over company policies.
- With some companies, you need to be a team leader and encourage and help your recruits.
- Not having to answer to a boss.
- The flexibility, of your time.
- Drama free.
- Take breaks when you need to.
- Can work from anywhere as long as you have a laptop and a wifi signal.
- No guarantees, on income.
- You put in more hours than you would a regular job.
- You have to do the work if you want to make any money.
- There is no such thing, as a get rich, quick business!
- You need to be organized and have a plan to achieve success.
- There Is No Such Thing As Getting Rich Quick!
- Gather You Some Knowledge And Training.
- Don't Quit Your Full-Time Job!
- You, Will, End Up Working Harder At The Beginning Than A 9 To 5 Job.
- Research Companies.
What Is A Home Based Business You Can Start Free?
- It is 100% free to sign-up.
- Free personalized website.
- No website fees.
- You don't have to purchase products and resale them.
- You earn commissions off of the products people purchase.
- Good quality products.
- Returning customers.
- You don't have to purchase anything to earn commissions.
- I only recruit people who are interested in buying the products anyway.
- Yes, it is true the only way you earn commissions off of the people who do want to sign-up is with a monthly product purchase yourself.
- You don't have to deal with shipping and handling.
- Get rich quick! No!
- Make some extra money! Yes!
- Earn residual income potential! Yes!
Sincerely Dale

Special Service and Cake!
The church joined in our Fairtrade Fortnight campaign by making the 10am Parish Eucharist on Sunday March 3rd a celebration of fairtrade. Hymns at the all age service were accompanied by the Worship Band. The sermon was replaced by a viewing of the Fairtrade Foundation video 'The Story of Chocolate'.
The usual post service refreshments were supplemented by these fairtrade chocolate based cakes. A member of our team stepped out of her comfort zone to make a marbled cake with chocolate cream filling, a chocolate and beetroot cake iced with chocolate, plus a vegan chocolate cake.
The shop was open as usual supplemented by a chocolate themed display in the hall showing all our Traidcraft, Eat Your Hat and Divine chocolate bars as well as other items such as cocoa and cookies containing fair trade chocolate.

The Fall for the Arts festival has been expanded this year to be a month long celebration that was designed to highlight the region's art and culture. The festival will kick off on October 1 with many free concerts and will allow locals and visitors the opportunity to meet and talk with local artists. The festival will also encourage everyone to discover the cultural organizations and museums that really distinguishes Cape Cod as a cultural center.
As innkeepers, we love to visit art galleries and to visit with guests about some of their favorite finds. We have become very fond of a local artist in Brewster, Karen North Wells and display many of her originals and reproductions of her work at our Captain Freeman Inn.
We also have on display at Brewster by the Sea some nautical work by Peter Richenburg
We have found that fall is the perfect time to visit all of the art galleries and the convenient maps provided by the Arts and Artisans Guide trails make it a fun adventure. Our favorite galleries include Tree's Place and Addison Art Gallery in Orleans. All of the month long events are outlined conveniently in the Cape Cod Times cultural guide called Cape Cod Week.
" Fall for the Arts"…what a perfect name to embrace all that the Cape has to offer in this beautiful fall season!

Through the Seasons
March 22 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pmTickets starting at $25
Event Navigation
The major piece is a world premiere of our commission from Robert Paterson for chorus and marimba. NAS audiences may remember his wizardry with an "impossible" text (Row, Row your Boat) in Life is But a Dream as well as his Choral Suite from A New Earth. The women will sing Persichetti's Winter Cantata, that is accompanied by flute and marimba, which we enjoyed singing in 1988 and 1995, and it deserves another outing. The men will do a Britten mini opera scene with piano called The Ballad of Little Musgrave and Lady Barnard.
Chamber chorus will sing five of the seven Songs of Springtime by E. J. Moeran, an Irish composer of the early twentieth century. This is a delightful set of quirky madrigals.
|Sea Shanty, arr. Parker and Shaw

|Benjamin Britten

Nugget Reno Review
John Ascauga's Nugget is one of the long-time pillars of Reno gaming. It's a large property with a wide variety of services, and everyone in Reno has a story about good times at the Nugget. The experience can be hit-or-miss, though, so pick your rooms & restaurants carefully and you'll have a fun time.
The Nugget always seems to have a mix of people: locals, an older segment, some folks in their 20s, and the weekenders.
Comfort & Safety
Bounded by I-80 and a few industrial areas, the Nugget isn't really in a neighborhood, which probably makes it as safe as anything.
Nugget Reno Gaming
The casino floor at the Nugget in Sparks is quite large. It wanders around the whole first floor, and feels spacious. The slot machines aren't the newest, but the blackjack dealers are quite friendly.
Slot Machines (Review: C)
The slot floor at the Nugget is very spaced out, and winds its way around the main casino floor. Unfortunately, the decor is dated, and many of the games are older and showing their age. More information about the Nugget Slot Machines.
Player's Club (Review: B-)
The Player's Club at the Nugget is called "John's Club". Its standard fare for a club: you need it to earn comp, its gets you on their marketing list, and points (aka comps) expire within a year. More information about the Nugget Player's Club.
Sportsbook (Review: B-)
The sportsbook at the Nugget is large and well laid out. There's a handful of TVs, including several large-screen projects. However, there are two columns that can block your view. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Leroy's also sets the lines here, too. More information about the Nugget Sportsbook.
Nugget Reno Dining
There are some good choices for restaurants at the Nugget, and some not so good choices. Pick the better places and you'll have a great experience.
Restaurante Orozko (Fine Dining, $$$, A-)
The Thursday night wine pairings are a hit! We went because it seemed like a good deal and a good way to "sample" the restaurant. We left laughing with full bellies, and vowing to go back and do that again! Great place to start the night for a group outting.
Steakhouse Grill (Fine Dining, $$$$, B+)
Much better than expected! Back when John Ascuaga owned a cattle ranch, you could always rely on the Nugget to have excellent quality meats. Since then, it's been a little hit or miss, or at least the perception has been that it's hit or miss. But we were pleasantly surprised by the overall dining experience.
Rosie's Cafe (Casual Dining, $$, B)
Rosie's delivers a comfortable coffee shop experience, with good food, friendly service, and a comfortable booth or table. IF you can overlook the dated entrance and decor, the food is good, the bill is inexpensive, and the staff is friendly.
Trader Dick's (Casual Dining, $$$, No Grade)
Noodle Hut (Casual Dining, $$, No Grade)
John's Oyster Bar (Casual Dining, $$$, No Grade)
Rotisserie Buffet (Buffets, $$, C)
There are better buffets in Reno, and there are better restaurants in the Nugget. Barely-average food, a dated interior, and too high prices make for a less than impressive experience. The Buffet at the Nugget is only open from Thursday through Sunday for Lunch and Dinner.
Gabe's Pub & Deli (Snacks, $, B)
Gabe's is a small snack area near the sports book. A quick, inexpensive hot dog or small pizza is the call here. Enjoy.
Starbuck's Coffee (Snacks, $, No Grade)
Its a Starbucks.
Nugget Reno Hotel
There's a wide range of rooms at the Nugget, from the really comfortable remodeled suites, to the older rooms in the tower, all the way down to the motor lodge rooms in a separate building. Staff and services have always been friendly, and the indoor pool here is awesome when it's cold!
Pool (Amenities, Review: A)
The Pool at the Nugget is Excellent. It is a huge indoor atrium, and great for those less-than-summer months. Since it gets windy in Reno a lot, an indoor pool can be a good thing! More information about the Nugget Pool.
Spa and Salon (Amenities, Review: No Grade)
Chonne's Salon and Spa is a full-service spa located in the Nugget. More information about the Nugget Spa and Salon.
Arcade, Fun Center, Activities (Amenities, Review: B+)
The Nugget has a large arcade on the 2nd floor. This is one of the larger arcades in Reno, and has a small snack center located nearby. More information about the Nugget Arcade, Fun Center, Activities.
Fitness Center (Amenities, Review: No Grade)
The Nugget has a fitness center. More information about the Nugget Fitness Center.
RV Parking (Amenities, Review: No Grade)
There is an open lot on the West side of the Nugget.
Wedding Chapel (Amenities, Review: No Grade)
The Nugget has a wedding chapel on site. More information about the Nugget Wedding Chapel.
Business Center (Amenities, Review: No Grade)
There is a small business center located on the 2nd floor. More information about the Nugget Business Center.
Meetings and Conferences (Amenities, Review: No Grade)
The Nugget can accommodate business meetings and banquets of various sizes. More information about the Nugget Meetings and Conferences.
Gift Shop (Amenities, Review: B)
Located on the ground floor, the Nugget gift shop has small gifts and other items. More information about the Nugget Gift Shop.
Cabaret (Amenities, Review: A-)
There are three places to find live entertainment at the Nugget: Casino Cabaret, Orozko Lounge, and Trader Dick's Lounge. More information about the Nugget Cabaret.
Airport Shuttle (Services, Review: B+)
Every 30 minutes from 4:30am to Midnight. More information about the Nugget Airport Shuttle.
Concierge/Bell Desk (Services, Review: No Grade)

Nexus phones always seem to be in short supply after their initial release and the Nexus 5 is no exception – why Google does not have more on hand is a question that may never be answered. The Nexus 5 in white and with 32GB is now back in stock and shipping in only 1-2 days according to the Google Play Store, while all other models are 1-2 weeks backordered. But hey, a Nexus 5 in white and with 32GBs – now that is one sexy and desirable phone, so grab one while you can.
As far as the other models go – The black 32GB model is listed as will "leave the warehouse by December 11. The 16GB models are listed with the white version leaving the warehouse "by December 11," and the black model leaving the warehouse "by December 13." It does not indicate that any are backordered, so it seems like they are waiting for LG to push through more of the devices, and if they can increase production, these dates may get bumped up a little faster. If you are interested in purchasing a Nexus 5, you might want to get online and get your order placed, as they will go fast and bump up the wait time even longer…the age old supply and demand theory…at the very least you should get your Nexus 5 in plenty of time for Christmas!
It is no wonder the Nexus line is so popular when you get an off-contract smartphone with the latest version of Android, KitKat 4.4, in this case, 2GB of RAM 32GB of storage, with a microSD card slot for expansion, a Full HD display, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor pumping out 2.26GHz all for only $399 – $349 for a 16GB version. It is quite a bargain and with the guarantee of being the first devices upgraded to the latest Android – pure Android with no skins.
Let us know in the comments or on Google+ if you are looking to purchase one of the best values in a smartphone that you can find. If you already have the Nexus 5, are you loving it or disappointed – hey, just asking!

We're a hawk on the issues.
Baltimore Council Rips Media: Just Call Rioters 'N*ggers' If You're Going to Call Them Thugs
Enraged by the media's portrayal of protesters in his city, Baltimore Councilman Carl Stokes called out CNN host Erin Burnett for her use of the term "thugs."
"Isn't it the right word?" Burnett asked.
"No, it's not the right word to call our children 'thugs,'" Stokes shot back. "These are children who have been set aside, marginalized, who have not been engaged by us."
"But how does that justify what they did?" Burnett insisted. "That's a sense of right and wrong. They know it's wrong to steal and burn down a CVS and an old persons' home. I mean, come on."
"Come on? Just call them n*ggers. Just call them n*ggers," Stokes fired back. "No, we don't have to call them by names such as that. We don't have to do that. That is exactly what we've sent them to. When you say, 'Come on,' come on what? You wouldn't call your child a thug if they should do something that would not be what you expect them to do."
"I respect your point of view," Burnett said. "I would hope that I would call my son a thug if he ever did such a thing."

Dynamic: I've recently wondered whether 'fracking causing earthquakes' might even potentially be a good thing. If there is a faultline with pressure building up, surely a series of small movements caused by a bit of man-made lubrication is better than the fault letting to in one big hit.
Fracking is not the lubrication of existing faults for the purpose of releasing seismic pressure. Fracking introduces new geological faults into a complex system. This alters the balance of forces within that system and redistributes forces in unexpected ways.
Ignoring all the other side effects it is exceedingly silly to use this technique near nuclear power stations, fuel storage, dams, etc, etc.
If you or I can explain how inducing a fault in some random place (just because it has the potential for gas recovery) will magically reduce the risk of an earthquake on a major faultline we could earn some serious consulting fees ; ). The reality is that redistribution of energy could just as easily increase the risk on a major fault. Nobody knows.
Evidence is accumulating that fracking is leading to increased seismic activity. Statistically speaking, increased seismic activity is usually a bad thing not a good thing.

Brown Rice
Brown rice is so healthy and full of essential B vitamins.
Brown rice (or "hulled rice") is un-milled or partialy milled rice. It is a kind of whole, natural grain. Its mild nutty flavor is slightly chewier, and more nutritious than regular white rice. Any rice, including short-grain, long-grain or sticky rice, may be eaten as brown rice.
Brown rice and white rice contain similar amounts of calories, carbohydrates, and protein. The important differences between the two forms of rice lie in processing and nutritional content.
Only the outermost layer of a grain of rice (the husk) is removed to produce brown rice. White rice, on the other hand, is produced by removing the next layers underneath the husk (the bran layer and the germ), leaving mostly the starchy endosperm (white grains).
Many vitamins and dietary minerals are lost during this removal and subsequent polishing process. Some of these missing nutrients, such as Vitamin B1, Vitamin B3, and iron are occasionally added back into the white rice making it "enriched". Food suppliers in the US are required to do this by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Of course these nutrients have now lost their original form and are added back in a synthesized way.
One important mineral not added back into white rice is magnesium. One cup (195 grams) of cooked long grain brown rice contains 84 mg of magnesium while one cup of white rice contains 19 mg.
As the bran layer is removed to make white rice, the oil in the bran is also removed. Studies have shown that rice bran oil may help lower LDL cholesterol. Brown rice also retains other key sources of nutrition: fatty acids and fiber.
Brown rice is certainly has more nutritional value that white, but that doesn't mean that all rice can't be part of a healthy overall diet.

Does your current supplier have a proven Plan B?
Recently I was preparing to travel to Florida for a VIBM ("very important" business meeting) when all of a sudden a huge snow storm hit Pennsylvania, resulting in the cancellation of all flights. Upon learning my original flight was cancelled due to the pending major Nor'easter, I normally would go into panic mode, but fortunately for me I had a Plan B – a relationship with a trusted travel agent. I immediately called my agent who moved up my original reservation up a day, to not only get me out of town a day earlier before the major brunt of the storm was due to hit, but more importantly get me to my meeting in Florida on time.
As I pondered upon how easily my Plan B fell into place (with the help of my agent), I wondered how many laundry operators today have a Plan B in the event of an emergency or disaster. When we work with our laundry partners we make sure that they know we ALWAYS have a Plan B in place in the event it might be needed. Are your current vendors ready and prepared with a Plan B to continually meet your needs without a hitch?
As competitive as our industry is today, laundries should align themselves with supplier partners that have contingency plans in place to make sure goods are ready to ship and be delivered in a pinch should the need ever occur. Not only if the laundries have a disaster, but what if a major catastrophe should happen wherever the product is manufactured, like an earthquake, hurricane or major fire? Without these trusted relationships in place, just one hiccup can cause a major disruption in the flow of one's business, resulting in major heartburn and stress.
Being a leading supplier to the laundry arena, Fashion Seal Healthcare® knows the importance of having a Plan B in the mix should it ever be needed. Sure price, quality and delivery are important, but if a back-up plan is not there when and if needed, the rest is all moot. We found this out several years ago when the cotton crisis hit our industry. Fortunately, we had a Plan B to help our customers not miss a beat. Not only did our entire customer base not experience any hiccups, but we discovered many new laundries who thought their vendors had a Plan B in place but did not! Without a Plan B, even the best laid plans and well-oiled operations can fall apart!

Don't repeal the fiduciary rule — fix it
Approximately a year ago, I wrote of my support for the spirit of the DOL's Fiduciary Rule, while admitting to reservations about its implementation and the effect it may have on the smaller investors it was intended to protect. Well, with a new President and administration who are promising a wave of deregulation, speculation says that the Fiduciary Rule could be a target. At the time of this writing, the rule remains in place, and it cannot be undone via executive order but rather through agency regulation, which does not make it immune. If the new administration wishes to place the rule in their crosshairs, they should instead fix it to be more manageable while maintaining the fiduciary standard.
The spirit of the rule is to align investors and the industry giving them advice, but as it stands today it is too cumbersome, complex, and cost-prohibitive. The best interest contract exemption hurts small investors by making the increased liability for advisers cost prohibitive. Plan sponsors have an onus to understand the different fiduciary roles that their advisers may have for their plans—and the potential conflicts.
Repealing the regulation at this stage will only work to confuse plan sponsors, as the expectation of a fiduciary standard will only affect certain business models while at the same time clouding what those models resemble. Plan sponsors want and expect a fiduciary standard of care, and the DOL ruling has had the intended outcome of educating and bringing the standard to the forefront. Indeed, the industry should have a uniform standard. Advisers should give thoughtful recommendations based on what they believe to be in the best interest of their clients and their participant demographics based on a thorough understanding of their goals and needs. This standard should not be up for debate. Repeal at this juncture will hurt investor trust in the industry at a time when it is still strained in our post-Financial Crisis world.
We can fix this so that every party wins. Enact a uniform fiduciary standard so that all clients are protected. Level commissions so that they are structured so as to remove any appearance of compensation bias. Require advisers to thoroughly document their recommendations and the basis of those recommendations as part of their compliance procedures. In the event of a dispute, advisers can turn to their documentation to justify the prudence of their recommendations given the information they had at the time. Clients must come to the table too to make sure that their adviser has all the information they need to give adequate advice.
Advisers should be empowered to give the best advice and solutions to their clients based on client needs, while clients need assurance that their adviser is working in their best interests at all times. A fiduciary standard will still increase industry costs—that's a given—but increased compliance costs are a small price to pay to heal investor distrust of the industry.

Though the Aztecs indeed loved war, Aztecs also loved arts. Poetry, songs and drama were highly regarded and there were even contests for them at many Aztec festivals. They were a large part of Aztec life.
An amazing amount of Aztec poetry has survived, even though Cortez, who arrived in 1519 ( see the Empire's fall for more) conducted burnings of many cities, including the Aztec capital, Tenochitlan. According to Cortez and his crew, they took much of the Aztec poetry, and most of the poetry survived. Many scholars think that Aztec shows the real thinking and life of the Aztecs, other than the ''official'' life.
Aztec poetry was divided into many different genres. Yaocuicatl was dedicated to war. Teocuicatl was honoring the gods and the myths of creation, and xoichicuicatl for the flowers (literally- the meaning poems in Aztec life was The flower and the song).

Coronavirus (COVID-19): Sharing trusted information during a crisis
During a crisis, people are looking for reliable information they can trust. At times like these, some of the best content is
According to the researchers at PEW, 77% of American voters are online every day. And in addition, 43% are online several times a day, while 26% reported being online nearly constantly. Building up organic followers through high-traffic sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram allows you to create an audience you can communicate with, for free, on your schedule. And you can also pay to boost your content to your existing audience or to run advertisements to your targeted audiences. Learn how, here.
While these social channels are powerful, they are not the whole ballgame. You can – and you probably should – reach targeted voters on YouTube, on online radio channels like Pandora, using "traditional" banner ads you see on your trusted news sites, through premium video services like Hulu and through a number of other online channels.
A generation ago large campaigns could reach just about everyone by buying traditional broadcast television – and usually just four or five channels – because nearly the entire audience was reachable via those few channels. That started to change with the introduction of first 50 and now 500 cable channels, but voter audience was still relatively clustered.
Now the audience is increasingly atomized – not in five or even 500 places – but in thousands of places online and offline.
So, when you sit down to construct your online digital campaign, it is important to try to use as many of the channels as make sense – and most campaigns will certainly use Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, paid search ads, YouTube pre-roll ads, other services that offer video pre-roll ads, online radio, and in larger campaigns, "premium" pre-roll like Hulu and others.
Creating and placing digital ads across platforms can seem daunting – but SpeakEasy Political helps you create and manage your digital and Facebook ads from one place.
PROTIP: Know the jargon. What is pre-roll? It is the six-, ten- or even 30-second ad that runs before you view video content online.
Learn more on how to build a digital strategy for your campaign in the recently released e-book, 12 Must-Know Facts About Digital Media, by SpeakEasy Political founders Eric Jaye and Danielle Winterhalter.

Greetings and Salutations;
Freedom in its' ultimate sense was always the goal all for humanity as a whole. It always was possible but some intestinal fortitude was required. The Alpha/omega point in human history has arrived and we'll live thru it….Scarcely believing what we see with our own eyes.

The silence is from the collective breathe being held across the planet…will they do it now? This time? Waiting to exhale, from the massive 'in breath'. Really, Now? YES, Now. Peace out

There's this guy I've been friends with for over 2 years we met at work. We were texting each other the other day and he said, "I was too much of an angel for him." I responded by saying, "Thank you. I'm flattered." And he said, "Good you should be. It's TRUE."
Should I have taken this as a compliment?
jackson92145ParticipantNovember 17, 2018 at 12:51 pm #189604
I think I would have taken it as a compliment
dashingscorpioParticipantNovember 17, 2018 at 4:32 pm #189607
Take it both as a compliment and a warning.
Essentially the guy has let you know (he) doesn't deserve to be with a girl like you.
It would be a mistake on your part not to get the hidden meaning of that statement.
If a guy tells you he's an a-hole believe him!
Secondly if this is a ploy on his part to get you to console/compliment him and prove he is worthy of you that's a game.
Be suspicious of anyone who puts them self down while praising you.
Odds are they're either carrying some "emotional baggage" or they are being cunning and manipulative.
Either way life is too short to be playing those games.
pakster123ParticipantNovember 19, 2018 at 8:57 am #189656
Something tells me it's a backhanded compliment. It can either be a real compliment or like you're too good for me so I don't want to be with you or you're too goody two shoes for me or he is trying to manipulate you or get you to lift him up by putting his own self down.
pearlytwinkleParticipantNovember 23, 2018 at 11:21 pm #189733
I would think of of it as a compliment.

Edward Woods
Client: London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham
Project Value: £16.3m
Brief: Complete refurbishment of three residential tower blocks and creation of additional storey per block providing 12 new build flats
Sustainability Initiatives: Re-use of existing building, thermal overcladding upgrade to current building regs, Photovoltaics panels, Solar Thermal Collectors, and condensing boilers
This project consisting of three 24-storey blocks is intended to become an exemplar of sustainable tower block regeneration and a flagship renewable energy project for the Borough.
The scheme incorporates the largest building-integrated renewable energy array in London, generating electricity for the buildings' communal facilities and greatly reducing CO2 emissions attributed to the buildings. Value has also been added to the towers through the creation of four super-insulated low-carbon flats at each tower's roof level, and the conversion of under-utilised ground level storage areas into office space for rent to local charitable organisations.

help your child start the day the right way (part 1)
We can't promise that our morning routine will get your child out of bed any quicker (or less grumpily), but it will help them to develop their EQ and send them off to school feeling happy, positive and ready to take on their day.
Sending your little treasure(s) off to school feeling positive and happy can be quite the challenge, kids aren't exactly known for being 'morning people'!
Despite this, we persist with our morning routine for two reasons:
We've never understood why schools don't 'teach' kids EQ, seeing as it's a much better predictor of future success than IQ!
It's also a nice way to future-proof your kids: EQ is one of the few skill sets that algorithms and AI will struggle to replace.
Before we show you what we do, it's worth defining EQ: this from the excellent PsychCentral:
"Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is the ability to identify, use, understand, and manage emotions in an effective and positive way. A high EQ helps individuals to communicate better, reduce their anxiety and stress, defuse conflicts, improve relationships, empathize with others, and effectively overcome life's challenges."
The key to the first part of our morning routine is: the ability to identify, use, understand, and manage emotions.
Most of us think of emotions as something that happen to us, hard-wired brain circuits triggered by an external stimulus.
However, the latest research in neuroscience suggests the opposite, emotions aren't triggered- we create them instead.
Your brain's primary purpose is to keep your body alive and well. In order to do this it is constantly trying to predict what your body needs, which it does based on the following INPUTS.
Well, it means that you are more in control of your emotions than you might think- see diagram below.
As you can see, the brain is reliant upon the quality of the INPUTS it receives, and this presents us with a problem.
Most of us are very GENERIC when we describe our emotional experience- kids especially so.
We often use simple, vague terms such as 'good', 'bad', or 'fine', when in fact, what we feel is much more SPECIFIC than that.
Here's an example using the feeling "BAD".
Simply saying "I'm feeling BAD." is like going to the doctor and saying you feel 'pain', how could the doctor possibly prescribe the right medicine to help you feel better?
BAD as an INPUT is too vague- are you a tired, busy, bored or a stressed kind of BAD?
Let's say you are a 'STRESSED' kind of BAD, this is more useful, but are you OVERWHELMED or CHAOTIC?
You feel OVERWHELMED, great, you can now prescribe the medicine you need to help you feel better.
Not only that, but having accurately labelled how you feel today, the next time your brain recognises the same INPUTS, it will know that you are OVERWHELMED and you will be able to act accordingly, without thinking!
When you are specific about how you feel:
This part (PART ONE) of our morning routine is designed to:
We have created a SPECIFIC EMOTION SELECTOR that helps our kids to get nice and SPECIFIC with their emotions.
We use this selector in a number of different ways- which we outline in the next section.
Stick it on your wall by the breakfast table and remember to play one of the emotion games below each morning.
The SPECIFIC EMOTION SELECTOR has 3 levels of emotions:
We have based our emotion selector on the fabulous emotional wheel of Geoffrey Roberts- his version can be found here.
How Do you feel?
Ask your child how they feel, then start with one of the main emotions (highlighted in black) and see how PRECISE your child can get with how they are feeling. This helps them to learn to label their emotions PRECISELY.
Positive feelings
Select a POSITIVE emotion at random. Explore ways that you and they can feel that emotion in the day ahead- check and see if they did feel it when they come home.
Or, why not see if you can create that emotion right now.
Random Emotion feeling
Select an emotion at random, then talk about a time when you and/or your child felt that emotion in the past. If it was a positive experience ask: "What they are grateful for about that experience?". If it was negative, ask: "What did you learn?".
Random Emotion meaning
Select an emotion at random then gain a deeper understanding by finding out more about it:
Random Emotion Metaphor
Select an emotion and describe it using metaphors:
'As THANKFUL as a starving man given food' or, 'as ABANDONED as a lonely island in the middle of the ocean'.
This increases awareness, deepens understanding, and helps develop creative thinking skills too.
Random Emotion Solution
Select an emotion at random, or one you are feeling and then talk to the kids about strategies, tools, and resources you can use to help you feel better.
Ask them what they have done, or would do too.
See how many different ways to feel better you can come up with.
We definitely have more interesting conversations in the morning, and I really feel that I'm doing something positive and worthwhile for my kids.
The 6 little games are great, they really help us all explore our emotions together (me included), which shows the kids that I'm learning too- that I don't have all the answers, which I think is extremely important.
This morning one of my kids (age 11) told me they were disillusioned that we hadn't gone to a particular restaurant the other week to celebrate a birthday, this despite saying that we would!
"Great use of emotional language." I said, "Very SPECIFIC, well done!"
We then explored if this was the right word to describe the feeling (it was), and then we talked through some of the ways they could overcome this feeling next time.
If we look back at the definition of emotional intelligence at the beginning of this article:
"Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is the ability to identify, use, understand, and manage emotions in an effective and positive way. A high EQ helps individuals to communicate better, reduce their anxiety and stress, defuse conflicts, improve relationships, empathize with others, and effectively overcome life's challenges."
I would have to say that yes, it does work.
Give it a try and see for yourself.

I have always wanted to do something having to do with drawing, ever since I was a child I've known this is what I wanted. I've taken a variety of technical classes throughout school. Joined the Air Force at age 20 (2003) and worked as a ground equipment mechanic until 2008. Since then, I have mainly been involved with engineering using 3D modeling software (Solidworks) and attended ITT technical Institute for two years. My background has mainly consisted of sheet metal work but have had a lot of different experiences and acquired skills to add to that. I received my Solidworks associate certification and advanced sheet metal specialist certifications in 2013. Today, I'm continuing to increase my education, skills and experience in the field of engineering.
What is your favorite past-time or hobby?
Since a child I have always enjoyed drawing and playing basketball
