Developing Leadership and Influence
In this course participants will have the opportunity to learn about the nature of leadership, and the skills required of modern leaders in the workplace. They will learn about situational leadership, , how to communicate a vision, and develop their inner innovator. They will learn how to how to create a personal action plan and how to enable others to act, and other leadership and influence skills and techniques.
They say that leaders are born, not made. While it is true that some people are born leaders, some leaders are born in the midst of adversity. Often, simple people who have never had a leadership role will stand up and take the lead when a situation they care about requires it.
Clearly, leadership potential exists within each of us. That potential can be triggered by outside events, or it can be learned by exploring ourselves from within. This training takes the latter approach.
Once you learn the techniques of true leadership, you will be able to build the confidence it takes to take the lead. The more experience you have acting as a genuine leader, the easier it will be for you. It is never easy to take the lead, as you will need to make decisions and face challenges, but it can become natural and rewarding.
This course will explore different leadership theories and examine what makes a great leader.
Course Goals:
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
· Define "leadership"
· Explain the Great Man Theory
· Explain the Trait Theory
· Understand Transformational Leadership

Dear Sports Mamas,
Where do I begin? To use this article as a justification for benching less skilled, less focused, or downright just young players is in my opinion appalling! You also need to look at the innate bias of the writer – his JOB is sports! He is unfortunately, packaging and marketing a product that can be used by these crazy obsessed people! I received a response from him and he was appalled that it would be used to justify this nonsense and that it was not his intent! That makes me happy!
At 5-12 years old, young CHILDREN are still developing. Some develop sooner and stop, some develop later and blossom, some keep developing or some never will be the "star" but just want to play for fun to meet new people and gain a new skill. I am increasingly distressed by the justification of playing the perceived "star" or "favorite" players, when it's just plain and simple politics wrapped in a candy coating. The craziness and competitiveness of youth sports is damaging our young people's mental and physical health (repetitive sports injuries from too early specialization, etc.) and I for one, as a mother of five, will not buy into this mentality.
Children need to have fun until they are post-pubescent and then make the decision as to what to focus on. Children are being pressured by coaches at younger and younger ages to go to their chosen camps, play one sport all year long, and to be mean to those less skilled for what? A trophy? A championship? A tournament win? They are CHILDREN! When you are in MS and HS sure – play your favorites, but in youth sports, they all should play!
Papasaurus is one the of the best coaches I have ever had the pleasure of watching in action. He nurtures EVERY child not just the star! I was reminded by a "rival" coach a few months ago and seeing my track star last night reminded me of the power that coaches have over children's and young adults' lives. The fact that I got a huge hug from an amazing woman who I coached 25 years ago solidified it in my mind. Visiting one of my runner's grave site every March does too. She was not nurtured by her coach post HS and ended her life.
So "Coach Haefner" go ahead and play your favorites. I hope that you still speak to them later in life. It is an amazing thing if you can!

Truss & Twine
Truss & Twine opened in 2017, and though it's one of Palm Springs' more recent cocktail additions, it's also one of the best. The sleek industrial space is a fun place to gather with friends, and their cocktail menu playfully takes guests through five eras of libations: the Golden Age, Prohibition, Tiki, Dark Ages, and Originals. While the drinks are a true delight, you'd be remiss to overlook the "bar bites" menu. The smoked trout rillettes and uni deviled eggs are divine. If you're really looking to splurge, you can't go wrong with their version of a seafood hot dog: spot prawn, served with seaweed and uni mayo on a brioche bun.

Polesia's crowning bird: The Greater Spotted Eagle
The Greater Spotted Eagle (Clanga clanga) is one of the rarest birds of prey in Europe, which – according to the IUCN Red Data Book – has a vulnerable status with a decreasing global population. This treasured bird of prey prefers the remote regions of wetland habitats and is very sensitive to human disturbance.
One of the largest populations of Greater Spotted Eagle, with 120-150 nesting pairs, live in Belarus. More individuals are found here than in the entire European Union. Research carried out by Belarusian scientists proves that Polesia is critically important for the survival of the species, because of the density of nesting pairs in its central part.
APB-Birdlife Belarus started a national campaign in 2000 to call the attention of Belarusian citizens to the challenges linked to birds. One species is selected each year to be the focus of the campaign. For 2019, the Greater Spotted Eagle was chosen as the Bird of the Year. This will help APB to continue its existing "Save an eaglet!" fundraising action, which includes organizing expeditions to find and monitor nests, then mobilizing volunteers and legal tools to protect the precious breeding sites.
The threats for the species include land use changes linked to construction of forest roads, housing and industrial development, intensification of forestry, and modification of habitats due to hydrological changes. The building of the E40 inland waterway would cause hydro-morphological changes in a great extent of Polesia, which – through habitat modification – directly threatens the largest breeding population of Greater Spotted Eagle in Europe.

Who wants to be a millionaire? If you want to, play this game made in PowerPoint!
You will start on $50,000. Click on the correct answer and you will advance to the next level. Keep going until you reach $1,000,000. When you get the answer incorrect, you will have to exit this program and start over! Be careful on your final answer.
Office PowerPoint 2010 and older
Windows 7, 8, or 10
You need the mouse, not the arrow keys.
Earn $1,000,000.
1. I started off with a template called Frame and made the title screen with text boxes.
2. I used the Transition tab and used animations to the next slide and used 5 slides for a countdown timer to start on the game and put each Advance to Next Slide After 00:01.00 feature.
3. I used a text box to make the question and I started off with these questions:
4. I included an Incorrect! slide if the player gets the answer incorrect and that player starts all over again, because in one of the shows to win a million dollars by answering multiple choice questions and you answer one incorrect, you are done.
5. I included a You won a million dollars! slide if the player gets all of the answers correct.
6. I saved it as a .ppsx file as a PowerPoint Show. Do not edit the game. It is saved as this format to prevent editing.
7. And that is how I make each game!
Any more ideas of classes are very welcome!

text: This thesis aims at increasing knowledge about climate research in developing countries and how research can be constructed, implemented and evaluated to be useful for local capacity building and climate action. This has been achieved by studying a concrete research project in Kota, India. Semi-structured interviews and one workshop has been conducted with researchers, stakeholders and one research financier to identify their perspectives on the studied research project as well as future participatory climate research. In the analysis, some identified opportunities for climate research were local knowledge and engagement, stakeholder awareness about the studies issues, a common platform to discuss research outcomes and research that presents possible solutions to local problems. Identified barriers were a lack of representation of specific groups, organizational problems among stakeholders, complex texts and a lack of policies or guidelines. This thesis also suggests some important factors to consider when performing participatory projects, such as planning the project carefully with a thought about timing, evaluation and involvement of many societal groups.

Pro Athlete Tips: 5 Ways to Deal with Muscle Soreness
Ask anyone who's ever pushed their limits in training, whether they were crushing weights in the iron jungle or beating their track time in the field, and they will tell you that one of the hardest parts about exercise is dealing with muscle soreness. Sometimes, the inflammation in the damaged muscle tissue can be so severe that your entire weekly routine suffers as a result.
This is no way to uphold a healthy fitness habit, nor is it a good way to progress through your journey towards your long-term fitness goals. Muscle soreness should be managed efficiently throughout the week if you are to come back to each of your training sessions stronger than before. With that in mind, here are five effective ways to eliminate inflammation just in time for your next workout.
Adhere to flexibility training
What is the first thing you should do when you finish your workout? Gulp down a protein shake? Head straight to the shower? Well, yes, but before that, you should adhere to proper post-workout mobility and flexibility training. There are many reasons why flexibility exercises should be a staple of your fitness routine, and managing muscle fatigue and DOMS (Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness) are among the most important benefits.
When you finish your workout, your muscles are tired, contracted, stiff, and highly fatigued. Filled with lactic acid and struggling to kick-start the respiration process, your muscles need proper stretching to aid recovery. Not only will static stretching improve your muscle-building potential, but it will also help you recover just in time for the next training session.
Rehydrate your body
You might think that you're drinking enough water during the day, and if you were just another sedentary individual, that might actually be true. However, as someone who is actively pushing their limits in training, your hydration needs differ greatly from the average individual.
Your muscles, connective tissue and central nervous system require ample water intake prior, during and after exercise in order to maintain the water balance in your body and help you perform at your best. Remember, just a 1% decrease in water levels might cause a drop in productivity and performance.
Utilize the healing power of plants
It's no secret that professional athletes have been using healing plants, concretely cannabis, as a remedy for decades. From videos of Arnold Schwarzenegger puffing away in his living room to Michael Phelps admitting to frequent marijuana use as a part of his recovery process, the world and the medical community is rapidly shedding light on the benefits and medical potential of marijuana and its substances.
If you are living in a state or country where marijuana is legal, then you should definitely include the ancient healing plant in your post-workout recovery routine. For instance, marijuana is becoming legal across the US, and residents can find medical marijuana in Las Vegas and all other major cities where recreational use is allowed. Post-workout cannabis can be a powerful muscle-relaxant and help eliminate whole-body inflammation; however, be sure to research the best consumption method for athletes first.
Relax in an ice bath
Anyone who has been in the fitness game for more than a couple of months has heard about another popular recovery method – ice baths. Now, taking an ice bath might not be your ideal notion of a lazy Sunday afternoon, but the benefits might be worth your while. In fact, many professional athletes turn to cryotherapy on a regular basis in order to reduce swelling and eliminate inflammation.
The anecdotal reports coupled with scientific research suggest that taking ice baths once or twice a week might help athletes perform better and recover faster than their fatigued counterparts. Alternatively, you can resort to contrast showers if you don't have ice or a bathtub. With contrast showers, you will alternate between warm water and ice-cold water three times for one minute.
Replace complete rest with active recovery
Lastly, even though the name might imply otherwise, rest days do not mean taking a complete break from exercise. At the very least, you want to remain active and tend to some light aerobic work such as light jogging or walking. Keeping active allows your body to pump more blood into the inflamed areas and keep the mitochondria of the cells healthy, resulting in less inflammation and a healthier body altogether. In turn, active recovery will allow you to come back to the gym stronger than before.
Professional athletes do not train like you or your friends. No, their training is on a whole other level, and while you might not have the same goals, you should steal some of their tricks in order to up your own fitness game. With these recovery tips in mind, there is nothing stopping you from raising the proverbial bar even higher and achieving your true potential.

Yes, you can! Sometimes two or more acts or failures to act will combine in an accident. Unless the defendant had the last clear chance to avoid the wreck, some states would rule in defendant's favor.
Case dismissed. But in California, we use pure comparative negligence rules. So here, your award is simply reduced based upon your percentage of fault.
A and B are in a car crash. A is following too closely, and rear ends B. But imagine B exits the car in traffic. And then a CHP cruiser runs B over. So B dies. The jury would award the survivors of B for the vehicle damage and whiplash. But B's estate would need to sue the CHP for the death.
However, getting out of a car in oncoming traffic would mean that B was partially at fault. Hence, under pure comparative negligence principles, the jury may find B 50% at the blame. So if the court awards B 1 million dollars against the CHP, the family would only get 500 thousand dollars.
Is this making sense so far? (If you're confused to go here to read more about pure comparative negligence in an automobile accident case.)

Wherever you order from, you have to know that the writers at this service can handle your paper. We took a take a look at what past customers are saying in their critiques, to see what they thought. Mostly, what we saw paperial was average. The essays clients bought have been okay, and did the job. Some weren't pleased with the level of subject data their writers had. From what we saw, plainly the writers aren't as expert as you'll need them to be.
If a person doesn't have a lot expertise in writing texts, it takes lots of hours to write an article, essay, or homework. Sometimes paperial it's a large waste of time. And even in spite of everything these hours, the ensuing articles might not be nearly as good as needed.
After putting our order, we waited 6 hours earlier than they responded.

My expertise hasn't been one of the best, as a result of, either my paper isn't delivered on time, or it's, nevertheless paperial it would not fulfill my expectations.

Features February 2003
Considering murder in literature and life.
One way and another, I meet quite a lot of murderers. Their crimes are merely sordid: there is nothing about them that remotely brings to mind De Quincey's famous essay, "On Murder Considered as One of the Fine Arts." The passions that lead to modern murder have no grandeur, tragic or otherwise, about them: they are low, savage and frequently drunken, symptomatic of modern man's emotional life, which is intense but shallow and changeable. It isn't surprising that, in my experience at least, remorse seldom lasts longer than a few days, though regret and bitterness at the consequences of the act of murder may last rather longer.
The means employed in modern murder have nothing artistic or romantic about them either: a kitchen knife in the spleen or a punch to the face, succeeded by a blow to the head struck by the waiting curbside. Sometimes one longs for a little more refinement, and very occasionally, it...

We are broken.
My heart breaks for the vast emptiness in the pit of my stomach I didn't know existed before last night.
My heart breaks for the grief I feel and the grief I see bubbling up all around me.
My heart breaks for the women who woke up this morning knowing they live in a country that doesn't think their bodies are their own.
My heart breaks for the women of color who have been so utterly let down by their white sisters.
My heart breaks for the two Muslim-American women I met last night who left Manhattan early because they feared for their physical safety more last night than they had in the wake of 9/11.
My heart breaks for the parents who had to wake up this morning and explain to their children that hate ― xenophobia, racism, sexism, homophobia ― had won.
My heart breaks for the children I don't have, and now can't imagine ever wanting to bring into this world.
My heart breaks for the girls who thought they would grow up under the first female president.
My heart breaks for the women who were born before the 19th Amendment was ratified and thought they would be able to see a woman president in their lifetimes.
My heart breaks for Hillary Clinton and every woman like her, women who have fought for decades for dreams they thought were possible, only to have them gutted by an unqualified hateful man.
My heart breaks for that "highest, hardest glass ceiling" we have yet to shatter.
My heart breaks for the anniversary of Kristallnacht, and the lessons we failed to learn.
My heart breaks for the moment of peace I tried to have with my female coworkers this morning, only to be interrupted by a burst of hatred from a white man.
My heart breaks for every person who woke up feeling a little less safe in the country they thought was theirs.
My heart breaks for the people who knew all too well that this is the America we have always lived in, the people whose warnings we did not heed.
My heart breaks for the America I created in my head that never really existed.
We are healing.
I heal a little when the man who drives me home in his taxi parks it to help me with the credit card machine as I begin to sob when it refuses to read my card.
I heal a little when he tells me, "I'm scared too," as he helps me, a sobbing young woman, out of his taxi.
I heal a little when my work meets my humanity, and I find myself tearing up when two young women I interview tear up.
I heal a little when I see the good men in my life affirming the humanity of people who do not look like them.
I heal a little when I wake up to nine text messages that say "I love you."
I heal a little when I get a text that simply says, "Women matter."
I heal a little when I step onto the train platform and watch a busker, a middle-aged black man, sing "America" to soothe commuters.
I heal a little when I walk into my office and am immediately met with tight bear hugs, tears, more hugs, more tears, more love.
I heal a little when I think about the America we could build if we all loved a little harder and gave a fuck a little more.
