About us.
Rebecca Rankin
Upon graduating from the University of Michigan with a degree in architecture, Rebecca moved to San Francisco to pursue a new career in the design field. It was 2003 in San Francisco where she began her hatha yoga practice. She found a new passion; a passion for her own self awareness and self-realization. This commenced her journey; transforming her life of design into a life of healing and helping others. Since completing her 500+ Hour Ghosh Lineage Yoga teacher training course in 2006, she continued to study other styles of yoga including Vinyasa Flow, Yin Yoga, Buti Yoga and Hot Pyro Pilates. She is forever grateful and honored to have also been mentored by the world renown yoga teacher, Mary Jarvis. Rebecca approaches both teaching and her own practice with compassion, passion, and dedication. She is known for her encouraging and optimistic style of teaching that incorporates both the physical and mental aspects of a yoga practice. Her positive attitude on and off the yoga mat is contagious. Rebecca has had the opportunity to travel and share her passion throughout the United States, as well as Europe and Central America leading retreats and co-leading teacher trainings. Her dedication to her practice has helped her to place 1st in the PA Regional Asana Cup '11/12 & 13/14, 7th in the USA National Asana Cup '11/12, 10th in the International Bishnu Ghosh Asana Cup '09/10, and 1st in The Netherlands Asana Cup '09/10. The Asana Sport Championship is an opportunity she uses to motivate herself in her personal practice as well as inspire others to seek the best in themselves. Rebecca was also the founder and organizer of the Pittsburgh Yoga Expo.
After owning and operating her own yoga studio in Pittsburgh, PA for 7 years, Rebecca recently made the tough decision to sell her studio and move closer to family to raise her family here in Bellaire, Michigan. She practiced yoga throughout her pregnancies up until she gave birth. She credits all the time on her yoga mat to having enjoyable pregnancies and being able to stay focused and in the present moment with her 3 year old daughter and 1 year old son.
Eliza DePeel
Fitness Instructor
Eliza DePeel is a wife and mom of 5, she loves being at home spending time with her family. Enjoying life with her children is always a top priority. She loves the outdoors and all animals. Living near a pond and woods she and her family get to enjoy a lot of wild life and enjoy the simple things.
Eliza has been collecting different workout programs since she was a teen and didn't really embrace her passion for working out until she was an adult. Now she has branched out to learning about how our bodies actually work, what they need, and how to fuel them properly. Focusing on health and fitness brought about immeasurable benefits for her, and championing others to do the same has been her greatest joy (aside from her family).
She began teaching in 2016 and is certified in four different formats, and soon this number will be growing to seven. Everybody is unique; one genre of fitness might resonate for one person but may not be the most ideal for another. Eliza teaches a wide variety of classes as a result.
She finds great satisfaction in helping others push themselves to new levels. Each student is considered a friend and her wish is that, when students finish a class, they are taking home a productive and memorable experience.
"Failure plus Failure plus Failure equals SUCCESS! You only fail if you quit!"
This also means that learning from the past, is better than living in it. Keep moving forward, and enjoy life.
Gabrielle Coppersmith
Yoga Instructor
A Northern Michigan native, Gabrielle grew up with a love for nature, fitness and adventure. With two loving parents and one younger sister, Gabrielle knew she could do whatever she set her mind to because she had all the support she needed from her family. After graduating high school, Gabrielle moved out to Oregon and her love grew even bigger in the mountains and the moments that she realized the world was a beautiful place full of so many different people. After five full years in Oregon, she met her soon to be husband James, and moved back to Michigan with him so she could help her sister through her high school years. Moving back to her home state brought a lot of new challenges to Gabrielle, but thankfully all these lessons brought her to the decision to start her yoga teacher training. A recent graduate of the 200 Hour YTT class of 2019 out of Traverse City, Gabrielle is enthusiastic to develop her teaching style and share her voice with the world. While she is not teaching or working, Gabrielle enjoys her free time cooking, reading, out on the water or with her two beautiful dogs Divinity and Yoko.

She believes balance and variety are the spice of Well Being. She is active in mountain & road cycling, hiking, paddle boarding, snowshoeing, yoga and still frequents the gym.

In 2017, Julie purchased a home in the Village of Bellaire to be near her family. She is living and loving the simple pleasures of life.
Seth Gernot
Handyman & token "dude"
When Seth isn't playing the role of 'handyman' at Yoga Bellaire, he can be found mountain biking, kicking it with his 2 little ones, and yes, he can even be found on the yoga mat. Seth loves to debunk the idea that yoga is just for the flexible. When he embarked on a 100 day yoga challenge, he could barely bend forward with straight legs. Upon day 84 of his challenge, he could touch his toes for the first time in 18 years. He credits his yoga practice to being able to work on all his 'fixer-upper' projects without the aches and pains that come with hard physical labor. With Rebecca Rankin as his wife, it means there is a lot of yoga in his life and yes, even "dudes" do yoga, too.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) as an optimized method for the planning, execution and operation of buildings is increasingly used as a planning method in Germany. Process optimization in planning is achieved by consistent digitization and intelligent building modelling as well as modified working methodologies.
We are constantly engaged in the optimization of planning processes and have already implemented numerous projects at higher BIM level according to the timetable of the Federal Government for "Digital Building and Planning". Through our membership in buildingSMART e.V., we are actively involved in the development of standardized information exchange via IFC (Industry Foundation Classes). We are able to image building models by software, set up our planning and ensure the exchange of data with all project partners via defined interfaces. Besides the geometry of the components, technical data, costs and construction times can be filed in the model. All project partners insert their planning into one and the same building model, to the benefit of our customer.
The impact of decisions becomes more transparent, conflicts are recognized at an early stage, and all participants are working on the same status of planning, saving time and money. In addition, as a BIM manager, we offer a portfolio of services for your BIM project, especially with respect to primary tools for project management and consulting. Together with you as the customer, we define at the start of the project what BIM means to your project, how BIM will be used during the planning and construction phase, and how you will use it later yourself. We create for you a BIM-task book, specifically defined for your BVH, to which all project partners adhere. This is combined with a consistent building model for a loss-free data exchange. At the FC-Gruppe, we constantly further develop and optimize planning and BIM. These activities have been pooled under the working title FC 4.0.

The original jam band
Even though progressive rock may have been born in Europe, several American groups rose to carry the torch of this musical style in the early 1970's. One of the most popular of these bands was Gypsy, which originally hailed from Minneapolis, but relocated to Los Angeles to realize their creative potential. Core members James Walsh (keyboards), Jim Johnson (guitar) and Enrico Rosenbaum (guitar) wrote and performed some of the most original prog rock ever recorded. The complex musical arrangements, the beautifully executed vocals and the spiritual lyrics made them overwhelming favorites for live concerts. They landed such exceptional gigs as house band at The Whiskey-A- Go-Go; tours with The Guess Who, Black Sabbath, Spirit, The Kinks, King Crimson, Steppenwolf and more; appearances at major concert venues such as The Atlanta Pop Festival (with Mountain, Jimi Hendrix, and the Allman Brothers) and as headliners at The Fillmore East and West and Winterland. They still play a few selected dates a year.
For more information or interview requests, contact Gypsy management at

Manhattan, New York City
Brooklyn Bridge
The Brooklyn Bridge carries both vehicular traffic and pedestrians on separate lanes across the East River. Pedestrians walk across an elevated wooden walkway above the traffic, offering a view of the two Neo-Gothic towers up close. The 30-minute walk across the bridge has a become a major attraction for many visitors to New York City and its free! During periods of high-traffic density, pedestrians can actually feel the bridge wobble but is safe to cross.
The walk across the Brooklyn Bridge is a memorable journey and offers some of the most scenic views of Manhattan and Brooklyn, offering a fantastic opportunity for photographs. Lights placed across the bridge offer a spectacular view of the Brooklyn Bridge at night with a lighted backdrop of Manhattan or Brooklyn, depending on which end of the Brooklyn Bridge you are on. This is another opportunity for a few snapshots of New York City especially if your are into night photography.
Location: Near the Brooklyn Bridge City Hall Subway Station (if entering the bridge on foot from Manhattan)

A couple of days ago I was listening to Patti Smith's famous cover of So You Wanna Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star by the Byrds and it got me thinking about their recipe for success:
So you want to be a rock and roll star?
Then listen now to what I say
Just get an electric guitar
Then take some time and learn how to play
It reminded me of myself as a teenager, when I really wanted to start off a career in music… Until I realised how bad I was at playing guitar and gave up.
When I finished school I would've loved to study architecture, simply because I liked the idea of creating something based on precise premises. But I was, and still am, part of the universe of mathematically ignorant people (but I'm working to fix this).
As I was growing up, however, I disregarded something very important: I am a natural-born nerd.
Now I've finally acknowledged that:
1. I am unable to keep a conversation about things I find irrelevant to my interests.
-> I'm always talking about Star Trek. The people who know me will confirm that. Actually the simple fact I love Star Trek says it all.
2. I have few friends. Very few.
-> Let's just say I have two. I've got 18 friends on Facebook and most of them are relatives.
3. I find Science and Technology particularly fascinating.
To be proudly called a nerd, however, there's just one thing I lack – that is scientific knowledge.
I really blame myself for not paying attention to my nerdy inclination before.
I should've understood that while I was young enough to turn my passion into a profession.
But alas, in my teenage years I was too busy playing The Sims instead of spending some time contemplating the night sky (or watching Star Trek, which is just as much of an education).
Now I dream of seeing the Earth from Space and studying chemistry.
Or astrophysics.
Chemistry would be my first choice though, because the idea of playing with beakers, flasks and weird liquids is very appealing. Even more than that, in my opinion some experiments are so spectacular they're like a work of art. Think about the chemical garden or the iodine clock, one of my favourite reactions. Not to mention those ending up in a BANG!
Actually, I liked chemistry pretty much when I was in school.
A couple of years ago I studied it as an autodidact and it was simply amazing – I rediscovered things I'd forgotten and learned new ones I'd never even imagined existed.
Chemistry, however, requires not only your mental skills, but also your practical dedication. Contrary to other subjects, you really cannot study chemistry without playing a bit in the lab.
Too bad I'm a thirty-year-old full-time worker, which means it would be practically impossible for me to attend compulsory courses and laboratories during the week.
So I have to say goodbye to my dream of becoming the new Marie Curie.
Or maybe not?
I've found an interesting article on Nature titled 'Career change: It's never too late to switch'.
So it seems like somebody made it! Stuart Firestein decided to study animal behaviour at university after spending 20 years in theatre. He graduated and took his PhD in his late 30s, then he even became a Biology Professor at Columbia Univesity.
The article mentions other similar cases, but this is really astonshing. Is it possible to continue your education if you have a job or is he just an exception to the rule?
I think the truth lies in the subtitle:
With willpower and suitable financial means, you can start a science career at any age.
There you go, Nature, you said it: "suitable financial means". 'Cause willpower is definitely there.
In a way it saddens me a little to think I'll only be able to study chemistry in another life.
On the other hand, somehow it comforts me to know that I would be absolutely committed to studying new, difficult subjects (for me at least), should I begin now.
Besides, I wouldn't be anxious to finish my studies as quickly as possible – that was the feeling during my undergraduate studies (which went well anyway), because I was aware they had to lead to a job.
A second academic degree in my case would be driven by pure thirst for knowledge. Science for science's sake.
As humans, we discover new passions thanks to our natural curiosity. It would be wonderful if we could adapt our lives to what inspires us most.
After all, curiosity drives progress. It's been true since the dawn of man.

People were helping each other, breaking walls to get people out of houses. The water levels were up to 1.8 metres. Cars were floating and completely submerged
Homes, roads, railways, hospitals and courts were all affected by a flash flood across Durban when 166.8mm of rain was recorded within two hours. "People were helping each other, breaking walls to get people out of houses. The water levels were up to 1.8 metres. Cars were floating and completely submerged." Motorists were found sitting on top of their cars. Durban's St Augustine's Hospital was struck by lightning.
CHILE - This last weekend, Chile's central region suffered from unexpected rain, in some places, such as Aconcagua valley, with hail (up to 2 cm in diameter). The amount of rainfall recorded was in the range of 13 mm up to 30 mm. The weather had the following consequences: Stains and cracking in the late stone fruit, nectarines and plums plus leaf removal from the trees. Diverse range of damage in grapes, producing stem + berry skin injuries (from flesh removal to bruising), also leaf removal and extra moisture that with the high sugar content makes the fruit highly sensitive to rot and other disease occurrence. The summer rain, being RARE at this time of the year, has been occurring more often year after year as the global weather is changing.
CHINA's northern region of Inner Mongolia is on high alert against a severe flood threat caused by ice blocking the Yellow River during the spring thaw. More than 70,000 people in the region were on standby for rescue and disaster relief efforts along the frozen 720-km (450-mile) stretch of China's second longest river. The river's ice flood was THE HEAVIEST IN 40 YEARS. The Yellow River in Inner Mongolia began to melt on Tuesday.

iOS: Twitter is a great feed, but saving interesting tweets for later, making playlists of songs you find and collecting interesting or on-topic tweets into lists is difficult, and deserves more than a "favourite" button. That's where Charm comes in — it makes all of that super easy. Frankly, Charm is the kind of tool that Twitter should roll into the official app. Think of it like Twitter lists, just for everything or anything you want, not just for people. It's iPhone only (which is a shame, maybe it will come to Android soon) but you can use it to build a playlist of all of the music your favourite musicians and music accounts have posted, or maybe someone's in the middle of a massive tweetstorm you want to read later, but you want an easy way to parse through it without going to their profile or faving everything. Charm can build that playlist for you, or save all of those tweets.
Charm can also be your personal twitter repository, so you can hold on to hilarious jokes people have told, users you're interested in but don't want to follow, or even just automatically snag tweets from events you're following, like a Game of Thrones night, or the Olympics. Best of all, it works with the Twitter apps you already use, whether that's the native Twitter client, Twitterific, Tweetbot, the actual Twitter mobile web site or some other client. It even works with OS X's Handoff feature so you can open your saved collections on your desktop, so you're not limited to just your phone's screen.
Hit the homepage below to learn more and see some examples of the collections it can make, and the app store link to give it a try.

While the thought of "evaluation" can be daunting, if not downright intimidating for many domestic violence (DV) programs, there are many good reasons to evaluate the job we are doing. The most important reason, of course, is to understand the impact of programs and practices on the lives of survivors and their children in order to build upon those efforts that survivors say are helpful to them and stop putting time and resources into efforts that are not helpful or relevant to them. Evaluation is also important because it provides "hard evidence" to present to funders, policymakers, and allied organizations, encouraging them to continue and increase the resources available to support effective programs and approaches.
The materials and tools highlighted below (and more will be added over the coming year) were selected to assist DV advocates and allied organizations understand the different types of evidence that can inform our work and provide practical considerations and strategies for approaching evaluation in domestic and sexual violence organizations. These resources also explore the unique challenges of evaluating and making the case for intervention and prevention initiatives.
Evaluation Manuals and Briefs
Evaluation Issue Briefs
Knowledge is power. The more DV service providers and advocates know about designing and conducting evaluation efforts the better those efforts will be. Well-structured evaluations of DV services can provide valuable information we need to continually improve our programs. The following Issue Briefs prepared by the NRCDV are short discussions of related conceptual and practical topics that can help DV advocates more fully understand the benefits of evaluating their services, and identify important considerations before engaging in evaluation.
- Outcome Evaluation for DV Programs #1 – Why Should We Want to Evaluate Our Work?
- Outcome Evaluation for DV Programs # 2 – What is the Difference Between Research and Evaluation and Between Process and Outcome Evaluation?
- Outcome Evaluation for DV Programs #3 – How Do We Attend to Safety, Confidentiality and Diversity?
- Outcome Evaluation for DV Programs #4 – Outcomes Evaluation – What Effects Are We Having?
- Outcomes Evaluation for DV Programs # 5 – How Do We Approach Gathering, Maintaining and Analyzing Data?
- Outcomes Evaluation for DV Programs #6 – How Can We Make Our Evaluation Findings Work for Us?
Outcome Evaluation Guides
Outcome Evaluation Strategies for Sexual Assault Service Programs: A Practical Guide
This Guide was developed in 2000 by Cris Sullivan, Ph.D. and Suzanne Coats, MSW, for the Michigan Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence as a resource to assist service providers in the state explore effective outcome evaluation strategies. Some of the content is adapted from the guide to outcome evaluation for the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence in 1998 (see below).
A Practical Guide: Outcome Evaluation Strategies for Domestic Violence Programs
This 1998 Guide was developed by Cris Sullivan, Ph.D., for the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence as a resource to assist domestic violence service providers in examining the effectiveness of their programs in a straight-forward manner. Although many programs are feeling external pressure from funding sources to conduct outcome evaluation, this guide is useful not just for convincing external sources of our importance but also in enhancing program effectiveness.
Evaluation for Improvement: A Seven Step Empowerment Evaluation Approach for Violence Prevention Programs
This 2009 manual, developed by the National Center on Injury Prevention and Control/Center for Disease Control, is designed to help violence prevention organizations hire an empowerment evaluator who will assist them in building their evaluation capacity through a learn-by-doing process of evaluating their own strategies. It is for state and local leaders and staff members of organizations, coalitions, government agencies, and/or partnerships working to prevent sexual violence, intimate partner violence, youth violence, suicide, and/or child maltreatment.
Tips and Tools for Data Collection
This site contains practical and concrete information and tools to help you evaluate
(1) a variety of services commonly provided to and with survivors, and
(2) Train the Trainer workshops [section 4].
For help in explaining the Theory of Change guiding your services, please click here.
The first three sections focus on services and programs for survivors of domestic assault. The first section contains handouts that you can copy and distribute to your staff – these handouts were designed to help you and your colleagues decide for yourselves how, when, and how often to evaluate your services.
The second section provides some examples of actual surveys you might use or modify to evaluate different types of services.
And the third section includes some standardized (valid) measures of quality of life, social support, hope, life satisfaction, and housing instability. You do not need to use these for program evaluation, but may find them useful for various projects.
- Handout #1 – Creating a Plan with Staff for Collecting Outcome Evaluation Data
- Handout #2 – Inviting Clients to Complete Program Evaluation Forms: Directions for Staff
- Handout #3 – Menu of Potential Outcomes To Choose From
- Domestic violence shelter
- Domestic violence counseling
- Sexual assault counseling
- Domestic violence support group
- Domestic violence parenting support group
- Sexual assault support group
- Advocacy
For Word versions of these surveys, please contact the NRCDV.
These standardized (valid) measures are NOT necessary for you to evaluate your programs. However, a number of advocates have requested to see surveys that measure such things as quality of life, social support, hope, life satisfaction, trauma-informed practice, and housing instability.
- Quality of life
- Social support
- Hope
- Life satisfaction
- Trauma-informed practice
- Trauma-informed practice (spanish)
- Housing instability
For those who provide "training of the trainer" (TOT) workshops on any topic, you may find these three documents useful. The first includes some tips and examples for you to consider when you need to evaluate the effectiveness of your Train the Trainer workshop. The second and third provide you with templates for creating Pre-Workshop surveys and Post-Workshop surveys.
- Tips on Evaluating Train the Trainer Workshops
- TOT Pre-Evaluation Survey Template
- TOT Post-Evaluation Survey Template
Additional Resources:
Understanding Evidence Part 1: Best Available Research Evidence: A Guide to the Continuum of Evidence of Effectiveness
The Best Available Research Evidence enables researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers to determine whether or not a program, practice, or policy is actually achieving the outcomes it aims to and in the way it intends. The more rigorous a study's research design, (e.g., randomized control trials, quasi-experimental designs), the more compelling the research evidence. However, literature also suggests that two other forms of evidence — experiential evidence (or practice-based evidence) and contextual evidence — which are both distinct and overlap.
Working Protocol for Domestic Violence Programs when Approached by Researchers
This working protocol was drafted by a group of researchers and practitioners connected to Michigan State University and the Michigan Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence. The protocol recognizes that while there is a growing need for domestic violence service providers to become active in assessing the value and process of research, these programs have an obligation to assess both the risks and benefits of each research study and to ensure that the safety and confidentiality of participants will be maintained.

Planting blue Wisteria
I bought a blue wisteria plant from Lowe's. It's packaged in a cylindrical covering that is meant to keep in moisture. The plant's bulb is 2 years old. I live in northern Virginia. I've been searching everywhere and I can't find when I'm supposed to plant it. Do I wait until after last frost, or can I plant it now at the end of February? Thank you, Landon.
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
You can plant your wisteria two or three weeks before the last frost date, as long as the soil is warm enough to work. If this hasn't happened yet, please see the following article for advice on keeping your plant healthy until then:

http://www.theaustralian.com.As a member of ISTE, I will declare an interest and if you scroll down http://tr.im/wjuW .. (blush) a profile about me with a photograph taken standing on "The Dish" radio telescope with blue hard hat and the hand puppets I use to teach with :-)

A really rough and sobering analysis of the Apollo missions estimates a 10% failure rate and a 1% failure rate for the space shuttle. They are hoping to do even better for the next craft. The safety imperative that they are working to resolve is to separate human passengers from the instrument / satellite cargo with two launches. The former is packed full of nice human safety stuff such as life support that can launch and return to earth, quite independent from the cargo and the huge fuel reserve that is needed to launch the cargo into orbit.
This is akin to selling the school truck and replacing it with a minibus and huge trailer (and a huge remote controlled trailer at that) .. or separating passengers from their luggage in an aircraft. Though we might grumble when our baggage sometimes is separated from our bodies with various airport handling errors, we would all agree that our safe journey and return should be the main priority.
I like to think of the XO-1 as great thinking capsules where users and groups can structure, build and adapt their learning spaces. I rather like the point made at the end of the ISTE review that a cheap solution is not desirable if it is created through draconian measures to limit access to technology resources and services.
This is not about crumbly hardware bloated with features or fighting to lock students down then out.
It is about robust solutions and open places to learn.

La Persistencia de la Memoria
Salvador Dalí
See the Scam?
I'm starting a company, so I'm going to put my own money into this company, say $100.
Over the years, I sweat and save, returning all the profits back into the company, so it can buy equipment and expand. In a few years, I double the value of the company to $200 in equipment.
Simple. Now let us add future profits of $100.
Next, let us say, I'm getting old, so I decide to sell the company. Potential buyers come in, inventory the equipment, look at the future profits, and give me $300.
Coool, I have made a $200 profit on my labors.
Now, let's say, I'm not retiring, and I want to expand, but I don't have the money.
I can get the money several ways. One way, I go to the bank and apply for a mortgage. Needless to say, the bank will only give me money for the stuff that I own, so I can only borrow $100. (Most banks are conservative, so they want collateral or stuff they can sell "If" I default on the loan) Of course, the loan will be paid back by using profits that the company generates through sales.
The next way, that I can get money is to issue stock. Since the equipment and future profits are 'worth' $300, I can sell $300 of stock, but I don't want to do that, so I only sell $200 of stock and keep $100 of stock. (Three shares)
Let's add some complications by issuing a dividend, for every $100 worth of stock (one share) people get $1, a 1% return.
So, ... All the stock is 'worth' $300, but it gets better. As the business expands, by using the $200 to buy more equipment, the company becomes more valuable. To keep it simple, for every $200 of equipment the company adds $100 of future profits will be created.
This makes the company worth ($400 worth of equipment [original $200 + $200 bought from the stock sale] and $200 in future profits) $600. Since the stock was originally worth $100 per share, it is now 'worth' $200 a share,
And, ... Don't forget that $1 dividend, for every share.
Simple, isn't it? So, let's get a little more complicated.
The company wants to keep each share 'worth' $100, so they do a split. Now, everybody that had a share for $200 has two shares worth $100. No loss of money. Plus, they are still getting a $1 dividend for every $100 share.
Next, someone sells a share for $100.50 (notice the 50¢). Since someone sold their share for $100.50, the company is now 'worth' $603. Next, someone sales another share for $101, so the company is 'worth' $606. Next, to be a little more dramatic, someone sells a share for $200, so the company is 'worth' $1,200.
Notice, nothing has changed. There are still only six shares. The company still only owns $400 of equipment and has $200 of future profits. Plus, the dividend is still $1 per share.
But, ... What happened to the value of the stock?
Nothing, except folks believe one share of stock is 'worth' $200.
O.K. ... Something did happen. People talked up the company, the potential for growing future profits increased, another company is buying the business for a premium, the company is deciding to raise the dividend, or some other announcement or action that effected people's perception of the company's value was made.
Almost lastly, the company wants to keep the value of each share at $100, so they split the stock again. For every share, a person now has two shares, so there are 12 shares with a $1 dividend.
Since I still own my original share, I now have four shares 'worth' $100, $400, plus the $1 dividend for each share.
Pretty simple? Right?
Now, I turn around sell my four shares, pocket $400, and still get to keep all the $1 dividends the company has sent me over the years. Plus, I may still be working for the company as a leader, manager, or consultant, thus still getting a pay check.
If you're still here, you also know that stock prices can go down, so I could loss money, go out of business, or some other catastrophe could happen, losing my financial security.
Either way, some folks have decided they can make a profit a different way, really hundreds of different ways.
That's where the scams begin.
Doom and Gloom
'Black' Bears
Car Crash
Dr. Evil
Things You Might Want to Think About
Dang, ... Batteries are going to get expensive
Three villains have been arrested for stealing ... food.
Just think what would happen when folks are really hungry/
Big Deal
I am learning about the 'Laws of Thermodynamics,' from some colleagues at work.
It's Here!
Just to make sure, you and your family understand that the 'troubles' in Europe are here, too.
The Last One
I would like to make a prediction.
This will be the last manned fighter jet these United States will ever buy. Because in the near future, remotely-piloted vehicles will be the norm for well equipment countries and their militaries.
Mediterranean Diet
Dang, ... Olive Oil is going to get expensive
Nothing Good
Listen very carefully, ...
Nothing 'good' happens after 10 pm, so parents keep your children home after dark.
One of 'Them'
Folks, when you and your family are planning to flee, make sure you pick a place that looks, acts, and sounds like you and your family. 'Cause if you don't, a crazy 'white' guy might try to kill you.
As a side note:
Terrorism is defined as the use of violence in the pursuit of political aims.
So, ...
The first two attacks were terrorism while this attack was ... a crazy white guy, maybe.
These United States' military wears uniforms for various reasons. One of these reasons is to tell the 'friendlies' from the 'enemies.'
So, ...
Remember that when you, your partner, and your 'group' starts thinking about what to wear during an event, you might want to stand out.
"The more I write on topics like this, the more convinced I become that there are very few problems we face as a country that have easy answers, and very few controversies that have simple causes."
"It was also discovered that when guns are used in self-defense the victims consistently have lower injury rates than those who are unarmed, even compared with those who used other forms of self-defense."
"Denial may [be] getting a bit harder these days."
"Is this part of the master plan of Colorado; decriminalize marijuana to free up room in jails for people who sell smartphones to preteens or refuse to provide monthly paperwork (which will require additional taxes to pay the people who have to process that stuff)?"
"This might be a shock to you Ladd, but I too an concerned about this country's apparent descent into the type of madness we've been seeing."
"In the near future, if you want human service, you'll have to pay extra - if it's available at all"

COPD project in focus for Lung Health Awareness
May was Lung Health Awareness Month, presenting an opportunity to reflect on some of the work undertaken to improve lung health across the North Brisbane and Moreton Bay region.
Locally, the PHN is working with Metro North Hospital and Health Service (MNHHS), the Australian Centre for Health Services Innovation and Lung Foundation Australia on the COPD project, which is supported by funding from the Queensland Health Integrated Care Innovation Fund.
The project has been extended until October 2018 and continues to work with practices in offering education and training to support the early identification of COPD.
Another aspect of the project is improving timely access and uptake of pulmonary rehabilitation. Pulmonary rehabilitation is a comprehensive program, which includes components of patient education and exercise therapy. It is recognised as one of the most effective ways to improve outcomes for patients with COPD or other chronic lung conditions.
The project has made the following inroads in regards to pulmonary rehabilitation:
Satellite programs show success
The project has coordinated satellite pulmonary rehabilitation programs across the region, including seven free MNHHS programs, some of which are currently in progress.
Patients have been offered places on the satellite programs regardless of which MNHHS pulmonary rehabilitation program they were originally referred to. The programs have achieved an impressive 75 per cent completion rate and the clinical outcome measures show significant improvements in function and quality of life.
Trial targets area of need
To support patients to receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time, the pulmonary rehabilitation team has designed a pulmonary rehabilitation trial based on Bribie Island, an identified area of need.
This initiative aims to trial an alternative delivery modality to meet specific community needs.
Single point of referral
GPs in the area can now refer to the Complex Chronic Disease Team (CCDT - North Lakes), the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital and satellite pulmonary rehabilitation programs through a single point of referral under the Community Indigenous and Subacute Services (CISS) specialists' lists using practice software.
Detailed information about pulmonary rehabilitation and referral criteria can be found in the resource section of the Respiratory and Thoracic Medicine page, under Refer your patient, see: https://metronorth.health.qld.gov.au/specialist_ service/refer-your-patient/respiratorythoracic-medicine.

The ICIF COPD project will be one of many joint initiatives on show at the 2018 Metro North Health Forum on Tuesday 19 June 2018. To hear more, attend the session: "A breath of fresh air: an integrated approach to COPD management" as part of our "Connecting in new ways" stream.
