Abbott on Bosses
"A bad boss is a little bit like a bad father or a bad husband. Notwithstanding all his or her faults, you find that he tends to do more good than harm."
1. I can't even.
2. I like how he says "his or her" in the second sentence, as though to correct himself; thinking only male bosses exist.
3. This claim rests on the basis' that 'bosses' do tend to try and do more good than harm, that 'bosses' are capable of knowing that, and that 'bosses' tend to be competent. Let's not forget that to be a boss requires no training, no qualifications, no experience… Anybody can be a boss. Start a business, hire somebody – you're a boss. I would argue that the reason so many small businesses fail in their first year or two of business isn't due to externalities – as we are always told – it is due to the inexperience and, sometimes, incompetence of management.

What are the law study periods?
Study periods are terms of study. There are seven study periods in a year:
What are electives and what is the difference between law electives and non-law electives?
Electives are courses in addition to the core and major courses within your program. Law electives are offered only within the law discipline subjects whereas a non-law elective can be selected from any discipline within the University (e.g. management, psychology, health sciences).
Where can I find a list of available electives?
An easy way to search for non-law electives is by looking at the relevant course homepage, or by searching courses by discipline. Please ensure the electives you select are from the undergraduate listing.
How many courses do I have left in my degree, and where can I access enrolment advice?
Students can visit the enrolment advice webpage for enrolment advice and also download a law degree planner - a great way to keep track and plan your study. For further information on the program structure or on individual courses (e.g. which study period courses are offered in) visit the relevant program page: Bachelor of Laws (Honours) or Laws Double Degree.
What is cross-institutional study?
Cross-institutional study is studying courses at a different university. Current UniSA students are required to complete an application for cross-institutional study form if they want to study a course cross-institutionally. Permission from your Program Director will need to be granted.
What is a double degree?
A double degree is the combination of two UniSA bachelor degrees and allows you to graduate with two parchments in just five years. For more information visit the law programs webpage.
How do I transfer into the Laws Double degree?
If you would like to transfer from the Bachelor of Laws to a Laws Double Degree you will need to complete an internal transfer form and lodge it at Campus Central for processing. Please visit criteria for transfer to determine if you are eligible to transfer.
If I decide I need a break from study, can this be arranged?
Students are entitled to a total of one year of leave during study. If you are a first year student, you will need to have completed a full study load (at least three courses) in one study period. Students who are Australian citizens, permanent residents or temporary residents not on a student visa, will need to fill in a leave of absence or withdrawal from program form. International students studying in Australia on a student visa need to complete the leave of absence from program form.
What is the difference between internal and external study?
The Bachelor of Laws degree is ONLY an internal mode of study. Internal students study on-campus, which includes going to lectures and tutorials. If you are studying a non-law elective or are undertaking a Laws Double Degree you may come across disciplines that offer an external mode of study. External students study off-campus and may be required to participate in online discussions and submit assignments through LearnOnline. External exams will be setup by the Learning and Teaching Unit and students can either sit the exams at Wayville Showground with the internal students or at an external location arranged by the Flexible Learning Centre for rural or interstate students.
How many hours should I study each week?
On average there are four contact hours per course per week, in addition, students must do approximately 15 hours of individual study per course per week. This is a guide and you should check with your lecturer/tutor for each individual course. For information on study requirements and additional resources, visit the study support webpage.
Is it acceptable to use second hand textbooks and previous editions of a set text?
You will need to check with your Course Coordinator before using previous editions of a set text in the event that there may be changes.

I have received a supplementary and/or deferred examination (secondary assessment), what does this mean?
You have been awarded a second opportunity to re-sit the examination. Supplementary and/or deferred examinations are offered in the study period following the original examination. For example, if you were awarded a supplementary/deferred exam in study period 2 you would sit the supplementary/deferred exam in the Study Period 4 exam period. Campus Central will send a detailed email to you confirming your secondary assessment.
Supplementary exams are offered based on criteria from your student record. You cannot apply for one. Please see section 7 of assessment policies and procedures for further information. If you fail the exam you will receive an F grade, if you pass you will receive a supplementary pass (SP) grade.
A deferred examination can be granted for extenuating circumstances only, for example hospitalisation or immediate family death. Leisure travels or entertainment will not be accepted as a reason to defer. Exam periods are made known at the beginning of each year and it is your responsibility to ensure you do not make other commitments during the two week exam period.

University welcomes landmark legal education decision in Singapore
The University of Melbourne has welcomed the Federal Government's announcement that the Juris Doctor qualifications of 10 Australian universities, including Melbourne, will now be recognized in Singapore.
The decision was made as part of the Singapore Australia Fair Trade Agreement (SAFTA) under the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership framework.
University of Melbourne Acting Vice-Chancellor Susan Elliott said the announcement spoke volumes about the quality of legal education available at Melbourne.
"We've long maintained that the legal education provided at Melbourne is equal to the best in the world, with the Melbourne Law School regularly ranking in the top 10 globally according to QS," Professor Elliott said.
"As a University we've always been very proud of the diverse, international student cohort that we attract to our campuses and this decision further entrenches the Law School as a preferred destination for legal studies for students from around the world."
Melbourne Law School Dean Carolyn Evans said the announcement was a welcome one.
"I am delighted by this recognition of the quality of Melbourne and other Australian JD law degrees by Singapore," Professor Evans said.
"Singaporean students have long been an important part of the higher education landscape in Australia. We have a great deal of respect for the quality of students from Singapore and it is wonderful to see this official recognition by Singapore of the quality of Australian legal education.
"I am grateful to the Australian government and the staff of the High Commission for the work that they have undertaken over many years to achieve this result."
The announcement also made provisions for Singapore to ratchet formal law alliances and joint law venture schemes equivalent to what is currently available via the United States-Singapore FTA.

The Ship Operations Cooperative Program (SOCP) has released of classroom course materials on prevention of sexual assault, sexual harassment, retaliation, bullying, hazing, coercion, stalking and other prohibited behaviors in the U.S. Merchant Marine.
The material is designed to provide guidance to the course facilitator and a practical approach for different audiences within the maritime industry. The course materials include a Facilitator's Guide, a Student's Workbook and a Classroom PowerPoint presentation.
SOCP Members developed the training tools as part of a comprehensive approach to better understand and eliminate sexual assault and sexual harassment under a cooperative agreement with the Maritime Administration (MARAD) by addressing issues affecting the shipboard climate in the U.S. maritime industry.
"SOCP suggests the widest distribution of this course to the industry," said Patricia Finsterbusch, president of SOCP. "We strongly recommend that SOCP members and the maritime industry continue the dialogue and spread the word about the importance of these issues. These ongoing efforts will allow us to continually improve and revise these best practices in our ongoing efforts to ensure a culture free of Sexual Assault, Sexual Harassment and other prohibited behaviors."
As well as the course material, SOCP also has support material that includes zero tolerance techniques and tips with computer-based training, a best practice guide, a quick reference guide brochures to address different audiences, and sexual assault and sexual harassment prevention posters.
SOCP encourages organizations to share this link on their website for maximum exposure and distribution.
SOCP is a non-profit organization of maritime industry professionals working together to improve the safety, productivity, efficiency, security, and environmental performance of U.S. vessel operations. SOCP collaborated with its members, which include U.S. shipowners and operators, maritime unions, academies, training institutions, government agencies and others to solicit recommendations on the content of the best practices for the U.S. Merchant Marine industry.
All these materials are at no cost and accessible by visiting the SOCP website.

At first I'd like to point out the main thesis of the material: China has long ago become the first economic of the planet. While reports on the U.S. monetary policy contain the new data on its financial troubles all the more often, the PRC macro-statistic data indicates a fantastic increment of steel, cast iron and cement production.
In fact China produces 50% more capital construction materials than the rest of the world and, which is more important, this volume is really demanded at the giant-scaled constructions. I have to explain at once that experts treat the "construction" markers to be the most representative indices of economic well-being. Housing starts indicator, for instance, demonstrates the number of new premises constructions. Mind that this indicator is really sensibly responds to the change of interest rates in the country, as long as mortgages are always borrowed for the construction. At the same time construction process is directly connected to the level of population incomes, which is why the increase of construction volumes characterizes the improvement of common wealth and healthy economic development. Investors are cautiously waiting for this index monthly (it is published on the third week of each month at 16:30 Moscow time along with the "Building permits" index) and react to its changes keenly. It's worth reminding that the level of the U.S. accommodation construction is at its minimum mark since the statistics had been recorded (since 1959). It happens despite the QE2 program, which is to partially ease the life of developers too.
Yet, while the U.S. leadership cannot stop the gradual meltdown towards the new recession, smoothing it with attempts to pump the economy with liquid cash, the Celestial Empire has to slow its economy down in order to keep it from overheating. At that, the real sector (rather than a printing machine) acts as the locomotion of the economic growth.
Yet, it's still not so plain — China has to balance between the deliberate understatement of its national currency rate (using this advantage in the foreign trade) and the control of inflation pressure, which is secured through the consequent increase of bank backing norms and consolidation of the interest rate, thus, slowing the Chinese locomotion down with the monetary tools.
It means that if the States were forced to addict its economy — not just the national economy, but the global one too, thus threatening the stability of the entire global system — to the "needle of liquidity" (that policy was successful only until the dollars were pumped into the economy, yet once that current QE program ended, the state of the financial market was restored to the level of 2009 again), the PRC wages the opposite policy, increasing the stability of the banking system, building up the export.
CNY/USD, 1 year
We have to mention that holding yuan in leash has its drawbacks. There are all the grounds to believe that by the end of this year inflation (CPI) will hit 5% and there is still a number of factors, which may catalyze the growth of inflation pressure:
— Excessive liquidity,
— increasing cost of labor force,
— balking up import prices,
— rise of agricultural products' prices.
Along with that we have to be aware that if China gradually prepares yuan for becoming the new regional currency (if not the global reserve one). So, for instance, Beijing now deals in yuan, while trading with Venezuela, which is to promote the market attraction of the Chinese currency. All the more, yuan now has a steady foundation to secure (which is to be defended too), while the dollar position at the global arena are not that steady anymore. Forecasts that yuan may become a global reserve currency in 15 years seem to be a wishful thinking for the dollar (more experts tend to credit dollar with less than 10 years).
In order to prove this statement, we may note that few days ago yuan rate went as high as up to 6.3486 for 1 U.S. dollar on the market. This is the highest price of the PRC national currency since 1993. The drastic upswing is caused by the expectations for China to hasten the consolidation of the national currency after a tough U.S. Criticism.
Meanwhile, demanding to improve yuan, the USA act not as locomotion of the global economy, but rather as an economy, whose inertia slows down the economic development of other countries through the dollar monopoly. It is non-surprising that American legislators jump out of their suits, trying to help the country to stay in the economic lead. That includes the law for exerting extra pressure upon China, for Beijing to improve the national currency even quicker.
Beijing, though, hasn't been denying (but rather admitting willingly) the necessity to gradually rise the cost of yuan by approximately 6.5% since Jun 2010. The main cornerstone of the currency war is the pace of these changes, as long as the understated yuan gives China a trade advantage, severing the U.S. economy (20% growth of yuan will cause the $50 to $100 billion reduction of the U.S. trade deficit). Even so, those numbers remain quite relative. The matter of fact is that strong yuan may also alienate cheap manufacturers and push them towards Bangladesh or Vietnam and the USA would still remain uncompetitive.
Along with that we can't avoid discussing the main risk of China. The spreadsheet listed below includes ten countries — the leaders of Chinese production import. It's for us to see that the U.S. share is only slightly less than 30% of the general trade volume. An appropriate question come to mind then: what if China fails to build up its export by the moment American industrial production stops completely?
At that, one of the major goals of Chinese economic policy is the increase of domestic demand in order to make the state economy more robust in case global financial system in its present form collapses. Such collapse is undoubtedly advantageous for China — after it the Celestial Empire will officially gain the status of global leader, which would allow it to impose its own view on the paradigm of historical development onto the rest of the world. That's what conditions the intense urbanization in an attempt to create the Chinese middle class, which is to become "the consuming safety cushion". At that, the scale and pace of Chinese urbanization is really unprecedented in the human history.
According to the McKinsey Global Institute estimates, in 20 years Chinese cities will be replenished with 350 million dwellers more, which is more than the entire population of today's America. Urbanization of the Celestial Empire creates promising prospects and huge outlets for Chinese and international companies. For instance, China has outstripped the USA in the PC sales, having become the major computer hardware market by the 2nd quarter of 2011. Throughout the accounting period PC sales in the PRC have gone up to $11.9 billion, while in the USA they've reduced to $11.7 billion on the contrary. We might counter that, saying that the PRC population is 5 times more than the U.S. one, while today merely 10 out of 100 people own PCs, but that's exactly the potential of consumers' growth, which is to secure unprecedented advantages for China in future.

An al-Jazeera cameraman who died in eastern Libya was hunted down and ambushed by forces loyal to the Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi, according to sources at the broadcaster.
Ali Hassan al-Jaber was among a team from the network's Arabic station attacked as they returned to the rebel-held city of Benghazi on Saturday.
In an official statement, al-Jazeera said the group were ambushed, and it condemned "the cowardly crime, which comes as part of the Libyan regime's malicious campaign targeting al-Jazeera and its staff".
It said the group had been returning from a nearby town after reporting on an opposition protest. Sources at al-Jazeera told the Guardian that Gaddafi loyalists followed the journalists from the protest scene and sprayed their vehicle with bullets. Al-Jazeera discounted earlier reports that they were lured to an interview under false pretences.
Jaber, a Qatari national, was rushed to hospital but died from his injuries. Another al-Jazeera journalist was wounded.
Gaddafi has blamed al-Jazeera, which has won plaudits for its reporting of the Middle East and north African uprisings, for the bloodshed in Libya.
Speaking at the annual al-Jazeera media forum at the network's base in Doha in the Gulf state of Qatar, its director general, Wadah Khanfar, paid tribute to Jaber, a "martyred" journalist.
"He was one of those people who lived and eventually died in the pursuit of truth. We are determined to carry on regardless. We cannot sacrifice our lives except for noble causes. There is no nobler cause than the pursuit of truth."
He said people in Benghazi had spontaneously turned out to demonstrate in support of the station following the attack.
Al-Jazeera's website carried a picture of what it said was Jaber's coffin being carried through the streets of Benghazi, draped in the Libyan flag.
Earlier, Khanfar attacked the "unprecedented" campaign waged by Gaddafi against the station.
The station said in its statement: "Al-Jazeera reiterates that the assault cannot dent its resolve to continue its mission, professionally enlightening the public of the unfolding events in Libya and elsewhere. Al-Jazeera stresses it will relentlessly prosecute and bring to justice all perpetrators and their accomplices."
Tony Birtley, a correspondent for al-Jazeera English in Benghazi, said in a report on the station's website that Jaber had been hit by three shots, one of them through the heart.
"This is an extension of the campaign against al-Jazeera, and al-Jazeera Arabic particularly, because everyone here watches al-Jazeera Arabic. Their work has been heroic, and it has been a great shock to lose a colleague," he said.

Our Favorite 2015 April Fools from the Tech World
Yesterday was April Fools as I'm sure you all know. It is a never ending assault of poorly planned and executed "jokes" for the most part but, like with everything, there were a few diamonds in the rough. Here are a few of our favorites from the tech world:
The Star of The Show: Google Brought Us Pacman
Not so much a joke here, but it is awesome and it reminds me of dumping quarters into the machine in the lobby of Marie Callendars in West LA growing up!
Selfie Shoes – Sadly, These Could Be a Reality
Better than a selfie stick??? It's definitely not any worse…
Domino's Rolled Out Driverless Delivery Vehicles
I would love to see these cruising down the street!
Galaxy BLADE edge: Chef's Edition
I think this one is particularly awesome. I love the setup shot with the cutting board and just like the selfie shoes (#shoefies as we call them), I could actually see people getting on board with this.
Google Fiber Offered Us Dial Up Mode
I'm sure there's a joke here from the AT&T Gigapower users.
SmartBox by Inbox
Done. Sold. Where do I pay?
Amazon Took Us Back to 1999
Not so much a joke as the site didn't actually function but we really like how after a short time it faded into their current site. It made us think about when we all first got started fooling around with websites in the 90's and how far they have come.
T-Mobile Pets Unleashed Let Our Pets Stay Connected
I would buy my dog a FitPet for sure. Especially if it had GPS!

Outside my window… The sun is shining and the wind is blowing.
I am thinking…about spring and cleaning.
I am thankful for…a husband who isn't on his cell phone all the time. We went out to dinner as a family last night. My husband was the only man in the restaurant (only 5 others but still) that wasn't constantly messing with a phone. It was my kids who pointed it out. I love that we are what matters most to him.
From the kitchen…Brownies for Brownie Sundaes as a Valentine's treat
I am creating… A lovely lacey knit blanket for my niece.
I am reading…nothing at the moment. Next on my pile is "The girl who stopped swimming" by Joshilyn Jackson.
I am hoping… I can get some sleep tonight.
I am hearing… The Monkees, The Shirelles, The Drifters, The Crystals and The Ronettes… I didn't realize my oldies mix today was all groups that start with "The". lol
Around the house… Things are messy as usual.
One of my favorite things… Oranges, I'm on a orange kick right now. Yum!
A few plans for the rest of the week: Cleaning house and organizing things because my parents will be here this weekend!!! Yay!! Plus finishing this blanket I'm knitting. I'm itching to cast on other tiny baby girl things.
Because it's just not a post without a pretty picture. Some super cool yarn I won on a Facebook giveaway. I can't wait to cast this on and turn into into something fun just for me. Check out her amazing yarn at Jill Draper Makes Stuff.

Police fired tear gas and shot in the air to disperse hundreds of people protesting in the outskirts of Burundi's capital on Tuesday against President Pierre Nkurunziza's decision to run for a third term.
Crowds gathered from early in the morning waving placards and chanting slogans accusing the president of breaking the constitution. Some blocked one road with burning tires on the third day of sometimes violent demonstrations in Bujumbura.
One protester told Reuters two people suffered gunshot wounds in the northern Cibitoke suburb, though there was no immediate confirmation, or comment on the wider protests, from the police, army or government.
Nkurunziza's announcement on Saturday that he would run in June 26 elections has triggered the worst political crisis in the east African country since it emerged from civil war a decade ago.
Activists say Nkurunziza and his ruling CNDD-FDD party are breaking two-term limits set out in constitution and the Arusha peace agreement that ended the civil war and has been credited with containing Burundi's ethnic rifts.
The president's supporters say his first term does not count as he was picked by lawmakers, not elected. Nkurunziza's spokesman has called the protests an "insurrection".
"I am calling upon President Nkurunziza to abandon seeking for another third term to prevent the country from massive violence and killings," opposition leader Agathon Rwasa told a news conference on Tuesday.
Crowds on the streets waved placards marked with the message: "No to third term".
The presidency was unavailable for comment.
Burundi's civil war pitted the army, then dominated by the ethnic Tutsi minority, against rebel groups mostly made up of majority Hutus, one of them led by Nkurunziza. The army now includes both ethnic groups.
The prospect of a fresh build-up of ethnic strife will sound alarm bells across a region still scarred by the 1994 genocide in Burundi's neighbor Rwanda, where more than 800,000 people were killed, most of them Tutsis and moderate Hutus.
Authorities say about 21,000 people have fled from Burundi to Rwanda, and about 4,000 more over the border to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The government shut down or imposed restrictions on several radio stations on Monday and many people reported being unable to use the popular WhatsApp messaging service on Tuesday.

..no....not my beautiful grandbaby boy ...
and its not my beautiful son-in-law...Ben is the name of my favorite Michael Jackson song....
Ben is a rat....but the song is a beautiful poem of friendship....
Ben, the two of us need look no more
We've both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you, my friend will see
You've got a friend in me.
Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's something you should know
You've got a place to go
I used to say "I and me" now it's "us" now it's "we".
Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben.
When I was 14, my crush and I always danced to "Ben"...if you can get over the idea that it is a love song to a rat....the song is lovely. It was "our song". Michael jackson's voice was amazing.
What a talent Michael Jackson was....songwriter, performer, dancer, choreographer, producer...how sad that his personal life scandals marred his legacy....a genius talent.
Michael was born the same year as I....its always hard to be reminded that our days on this earth are numbered....no matter your age....
maybe this will remind us to be grateful for every day we have ...and for everyone that shares that time with us.
p.s. just as i say "Ben" is my favorite....and it is...then this one pops up! LOVE THIS SONG.

A popular American idiom is "bent out of shape." The most common context is to tell someone not to get bent out of shape, or upset, over a problem. Getting bent out of shape is the same as getting worked up, aggravated, or overly annoyed at something that usually can't be helped. For example, a person might be advised to not get all bent out of shape over the fact that his physical therapy practice is going downhill at a rapid rate and is gaining momentum. It is something that you feel can not be changed, and therefore just learn to deal with it and move on.
Another use of "bent out of shape" is for something that is slightly off from what it should be, such as a saying that someone's plans are all bent out of shape due to unforeseen circumstances. In this situation, it means that the plans that were made are messed up. Perhaps there was a lot of patients discharged that week, or one of your highest producing PTs decided to leave. Whatever the reason, the owner would not be able to complete his plans in the way that they originally had in mind. This use is not as common as the first, but is still used on occasion.
The phrase "bent out of shape" is also common when referring to broken or bent objects, or even people, which is where the phrase was originally used. If a spine is bent out of shape, it can be the cause of unbelievable pain. That is why the phrase encourages people to not get irrationally upset about small problems. It is easier to solve any issues that may come up when you have a clear head and are able to think rationally. Being upset or very emotional will make it much harder to come up with a solution. Staying calm, and not getting bent out of shape, is usually the best way to approach a predicament.
But of course, if you're like me, the bent out of shape attitude kicks in before you have a chance to solve the problem you're facing. At times like this you wish you could turn to someone who was all knowing and simply ask for help and receive the exact solution to all your practice problems.
What I tell clients to do is to "turn themselves in" when they can't solve practice problems and can't stop their declining patient numbers. I let them know that they don't have to suffer alone. They can tell me their problems and we can suffer together. That unfortunately is what I have to do in order to come up with a solution to handle a particular practice problem. I have to assume that I am this particular PT and what I would have to do to solve this dilemma. Well it works!
Over the past few years and I've heard some interesting reasons as to what is holding a business down and keeping it from expanding. I've heard things such as "there is too much competition" and "times have changed" and "government regulations are the root of all evil and must be destroyed" I've heard them all.
As a business owner, I used to agree with these reasons quite a bit. When I first decided to learn how to better run my business I "turned myself in" to a consultant and I remember a particular conversation with her whereby she asked me something that I considered rather rude: she asked me why I was not successful. I was very surprised and somewhat angered that she asked me this directly. At first I didn't answer, I just kind of looked at her and shrugged my shoulders. So she asked me again, "Why are you not as successful as you know you should be?" I said "I can't believe you've asked me that question. I've paid you some money and you're insulting me?" She laughed, but persisted and asked me the question again, "So tell me, why aren't you as successful as you know you could be?" I hate to say it but I then became really angry. I went on for about 15 minutes giving all the reasons why I couldn't be as successful as other business owners.
After blurting out all my reasons for failure, my consultant very calmly said to me, "I'm going to tell you something that might upset you. Are you ready?" I said yes. She said "Your success or failure in your business is your own doing and as soon as you really understand that, you're on your way out of it." At that moment in my life it was more truth than I've ever heard. It put me completely flat back into the chair. I said, "Wow. So what do I do?" She replied, "We'll show you what to do, but you have to change your mind about a few things. You have to change your mind from 'I have all these reasons why I cannot be successful' to 'I can and will be successful.'" So off we went and my business continued to expand from that point.
In the first sentence of this chapter I mentioned that I had a bit of a revelation when I realized something. Now I'm going to tell you what it is. After hearing very many business owners complaining about all the reasons why they aren't doing well, I spotted this one very simple thing. They are paying attention to all the barriers to their success.
But what are the barriers? The barriers are nothing more than something that you consider will stop you. If you consider that you can't drive new business in your doors, you'll have trouble with that. If you consider that you can't find good people, you'll always look around and have a staff that you're never quite happy with, because you can't find good people. The truth is, you can find good people, but you consider that you cannot, so therefore you cannot.
My point is this; I realized that all my past excuses and all the excuses I've heard since from other business owners as to what is holding down the business are simply things that are considered or believed to be true. They are not physical barriers, such as a wall or something that you can touch – they are things that you think will hold you back.
Sometimes what is holding you back is a fear of failing, and that fear of failing keeps you from starting anything or "sticking your neck out" so to speak. Sometimes what keeps you from doing well is thinking "if you want anything done right you have to do it yourself." That's the hallmark of an overworked executive. With this thought in place you become exhausted and burn out while the other staff cut out early to go to a soccer game or something like that and dump the work on you.
The only barriers that are worth solving are the barriers that actually keep you from winning the game. If you aren't sure what the game is, then you might consider any problem in your office significant enough to handle. This could be something such as having two staff members not getting along and you spending an afternoon trying to patch things up, when most likely if you'd just throw them in a room they'd work it out and you could get back to solving the barriers that are in the way of your practice goals being achieved. A true barrier is something that you must face fully and handle or you will never get to the next step.
Too often in a clinical practice the owner will have his or her attention on the "barriers" INSIDE the practice. Staff issues, reimbursement, bills, hiring needs all keep the owner and the key executive's attention INSIDE the practice. There has to be a conscious effort to get your head OUTSIDE the practice in order to truly build the practice. To find out what the competition is doing and do it better requires that you have your head OUTSIDE the practice. Find out how to leverage the clinical results you get with your patient to get your patients to go OUTSIDE your practice and on a broad scale market your practice. You want happy patients committed to the practice and referring others. You want patients no longer suffering from their initial complaints and whose health has greatly improved. If you do this well AND you knew how to leverage the word of mouth from those successfully treated patients you would expand and FAST!
Make a list of all the barriers you experience that put your attention INSIDE the practice.
For example: Personnel issues, Hiring issues, staff giving you problems, putting out fires, no time for notes, even treating patients if you are the owner, etc.
Determine the amount of time you spend either worrying about of having to handle those problems that exist INSIDE the practice.
Really look at how much of your time you speak to your spouse or significant other about number 1 above versus a great OUTSIDE the practice problem that will enable your practice to expand.
Rank those INSIDE problems by the detrimental effects upon the expansion of your organization if you fail to address and handle those barriers.
Put the one that if you don't handle your business will suffer the most and rank in lower priority on down.
Decide what would be the worst thing that could happen if you failed to address a few INSIDE the practice problems.
Truly look and see if perhaps you could ignore a few of the INSIDE the practice problems so you can put a bit more attention and ACTION on resolving problems OUTSIDE the practice such as how to get patients and doctors referring in greater numbers.
Now take a look at the problems you are experiencing OUTSIDE your practice and determine precisely how much time you are spending in handling those problems.
The OUTSIDE problems would be those problems that put your attention outward from the day-to-day running of the practice that will create EXPANSION of your company by reaching OUTSIDE the practice to drive patients into the organization. THESE PROBLEMS ARE THE PRIMARY ONES WORTH TRULY RESOLVING.
Work out a plan that will enable you to resolve more of the OUTSIDE the practice problems that impede the organization's survival and put less attention on some of those INSIDE the practice problems.
You will likely experience some relief and would have a new or renewed expansion viewpoint.

Once again, no picture, he left with his lunch before I got a chance to take one.
Either way, he had a chef salad (green salad with ham, cheese & eggs) with greek dressing, a tuna salad sandwich, grapes and some marshmallow treats from the Oriental market. Nothing too creative in his, I save my brilliant ideas for the kids. ;o)

How to Rebuild Trust
The situation had spiraled out of control. The trust had been broken between Alicia and Harrison for some time. Everyone knew it, but it was only discussed behind closed doors. These two were seriously impacting the work of the Executive Team. Their positions had hardened over time. The politics were ugly. People had taken sides. What would it take for …

I've spent the past couple days housesitting for a friend. It was an odd experience as there was no internet access. I now understand what the pioneers went through.
I spent most of the time working playing the banjo and watching tv shows like Modern Famly and The Big Bang Theory on DVD. The solitude was quite enjoyable.
My last post on The Isle of Lewis got a lot of responses and questions as to why I am so interested in Standing Stones, Stone Circles, and Dolmen. The simple answer is I am in awe of their permanence. My family settled in Sheffield Village, Ohio in 1846 and during my genealogy research I found a map of the area from 1870. It showed a series of Indian Mounds all along the Black River and also along the French Creek. Then I found another map from 1920 and they were all gone. What a shame.
The standing stones in The Hebrides along with the others all through Britain, Wales, Ireland, France and Italy have stood for thousands of years. Roman armies have marched past them. Why do they respect their history while we disrespect ours?
Anyway, now that I have time to renew my interest in Megaliths I've been having fun with Google Maps with Street View. With Street View you can walk down the street almost anywhere in the world and look around. I decided to take it for a spin on the Outer Hebrides. I started with the Isle of Lewis, then went to Harris and eventually to Barra.
Walking through Lewis I was able to approach Callanish and get a pretty good look. Here is what I saw, Click on the pictures to enlarge.
Most of the stones and circles are frustratingly off the road so all you can see are glimpses but some are incredible fun like finding Coire Na Feinne in someones' front yard.
To see a much better picture of Coire Na Feinne look here.
I spent a lot of time playing online poker and while doing that I walk around the islands looking for Megaliths. I will post more as I find them.

When Does a Vacation Rental House Feel Like Home?
Imagine rehabilitating orphan orangutans in Borneo, photographing mountain gorillas in Rwanda and pampering retired elephants at a sanctuary in Thailand. At every turn you'll discover a new and fascinating element unique to this home – and to none other – anywhere in the world.From the moment you enter the Discovery Beach House you'll feel the difference. This is no ordinary vacation rental.
The well-traveled owners' adventures have been featured in the Los Angeles Times, and are vividly illustrated in tribal artifacts, a floating photo gallery, custom-made art tiles, and hand painted sinks. Evelyn and David built the Discovery Beach House as their dream home. The love and passion they poured into it is evident everywhere.
The Discovery Beach House has everything you need; beach towels, beach chairs, pool floats, a video library, family board games, a Barbecue grill, Air Now Heating & Cooling system and a fully stocked kitchen with an array of spices and condiments, just like home. If you've always loved the idea of having your own vacation house, then it may be time that you consider getting one for yourself. If you would like some help on where to start, then it might be in your best interests to get in touch with a Real Estate company such as Weichert Realtors – Coastal Properties for further information.
Guest, Sel Unite says, "The staff treated us like we were in our own home, like part of their family. We've never experienced anything like it."
Living Room
Relax on comfy leather sofas with 4 recliners overlooking a soothing garden framed by giant traveler palms. Everything you need in home entertainment is here. Enjoy SkyTV, a 42 inch plasma screen, DVD Player & Library, CD Player, and Wireless Internet.
Great Room
This room has a stunning two story vaulted beamed ceiling and is surrounded by French doors that open onto a Spanish tile terrace and an emerald palm-lined garden. A gorgeous mission style two tier wrought iron chandelier is suspended over a hand crafted dining table with a carved monkey accent. It opens up to seat 12. This room was designed without walls for free flowing conversation between the kitchen, dining room and living room.
The kitchen is generously stocked with spices and condiments, just like home. Professional appliances and custom designed cabinets are a cook's dream. This colorful Mexican kitchen was inspired by artist Frida Kahlo's own kitchen at her Blue House in Coyoacan, Mexico. Hand-painted tile reproductions of Frida's famous fruit themes grace the splashboard behind the sink. "Roots" and "Frida & Diego" adorn niches in the breakfast bar. The bright red, blue, green and gold colors make the kitchen especially inviting and festive. Why not take it a step further and pamper yourself by hiring our chef?
1st Floor Master Bedroom
This suite has generous closets, a loveseat, its own entrance, patio and bathroom. No need to disturb your family if you wake up early. Just take your morning cup of delicious Costa Rican coffee out onto your private patio and appreciate the tree garden and early rising monkeys.
This 1st floor bedroom features a Queen size bed, spacious closets and ultimate privacy.
1st Floor Master Bathroom
The focal point of the 1st Floor Master Bathroom is a hand painted sink featuring 2 African women with musical instruments and carrying babies on their backs. It was inspired by a t-shirt owner David bought in Uganda. A hand painted tile shower niche features a mountain gorilla reproduced from one of Evelyn's photographs.
The Monkey Bathroom
Also on the first floor, the Monkey Bathroom features a pedestal sink with hand painted mother and baby howler, capuchin and red-backed squirrel monkeys. The shower niche was inspired by an experience the owner had while volunteering on the Orangutans Project in Borneo. Also featured is a carved monkey mirror.
2nd Floor Master Bedroom
This romantic bedroom was inspired by an African lodge Evelyn and David stayed in on a trip to Murchison Falls in Uganda. The focal point is the four-poster canopy bed draped in a designer animal print fabric. The bed frame was crafted by a local Costa Rican artisan and features exquisitely hand carved posts. This room includes a window seat perfect for reading, watching wildlife or for sleeping an extra person. An expansive terrace with a locally crafted tiled table is the perfect place to enjoy your first morning cup of delicious Costa Rican coffee or a sunset view while you drink in the view of the pool, rainforest and the ocean beyond.
2nd Floor Master Bath
If ever there was ever a romantic bathroom, this is it. Hand-painted double sinks were reproduced from Frida Kahlo's "White Flowers" painting. The green and white tile walls are gracefully adorned with hand painted calla lillies. The oversized bathtub is big enough for two and looks out over its own private tropical garden.
2nd Floor Tree House Bedroom
Suspended over the living room, this bedroom boasts a 320° view overlooking the Great Room, garden, and rain forest. If you hear noises on the roof in the morning, don't worry, it's likely capuchins or red-backed squirrel monkeys taking a shortcut. They can often be seen leaping from the roof onto the palm trees right outside this room. Prefer complete privacy? Simply pull the curtains down. The king size bed can be separated into 2 twin size beds. A welcoming window seat provides extra seating and can convert into sleeping accommodations for a 3rd person.
2nd Floor Tree House Bathroom
This full bathroom has gorgeous wood finishes and opens out onto a second story garden.
Floating Photo Gallery
The owners' volunteer work has taken them to the remotest corners of the world and is a chronicled in a Photo Gallery that features Evelyn's photos of orangutans in Borneo, mountain gorillas in Rwanda and elephants in Thailand. Unlike built-to-rent sterile vacation homes, the Floating Photo Gallery gives you glimpses into the lives of its owners making you feel even more at home in their distinctive Discovery Beach House.
Huge Infinity Swimming Pool
The Discovery Beach House has the largest vacation rental home swimming pool in Manuel Antonio measuring 18 ft. x 40 ft. It's also one of the best maintained with daily pool service included. The pool is fully tiled with aquamarine and navy blue tiles. It has 3 swimming lanes. A volleyball net can be set up upon request for added fun and friendly tournaments. The pool's infinity edge appears to spill right into the ocean, only steps away.
On hot days the monkeys may be seen dipping a leg or an arm in the pool to cool off!
Hot Tub
This oversize hot tub is one of the largest in Manuel Antonio measuring 9 ft. in diameter and seating up to 12 people comfortably. It's located below a rooster palm where monkeys often bed down for the night. If you enjoy taking a hot tub at sunset you'll sometimes see them arrive overhead. Our hot tub is fully tiled in aquamarine and navy tiles.

The Bird Cage: To Do or Not To Do
The bird cage is still finding it's place in the most majestic vintage settings as well as at whimsical wedding tables. The great thing about the bird cage is that it is so versatile; it makes a striking centre piece or serves as a special feature for your chapel or
reception decor.
We love the vintage take on it where the bird cage is placed on old story books, which in turn also assist with height on your table. Draping a string of pearls over or in the cage gives it that antiquated look and feel. For decor options in the cage, either place a small posy of flowers in a silver, glass or tin bowl; or display a quaint candle or even a single, large Protea.
Flower arrangements around the cage do not necessarily have to appear neatly structured. If a small posy doesn't do it for you, consider a fuller feel by allowing your flowers or greenery to peer through the cage. Placing birdcages at the entrance of your chapel sets the theme and tone for your guests.
We loved this rustic appearance of a bird cage hanging in front of each of the windows inside the chapel. Bring your wedding colours into the chapel through the use of matching ribbons; strengthening the unity of your designs, while also creating a sense of expectation with the waiting guests.
A great way of saving costs is to have the birdcages in the chapel moved to your reception tables once the ceremony is over. So, to do or not to do......?
A little bird told us that there is more to come on the birdcage front. We love the new coloured cages just starting to trend. They are great fun and could add something special and different to your wedding day.

World Rally timing firm Stage One Technology keen to resolve row between rallies and FIA
World Rally Championship timing and tracking chief Simon de Banke is ready to help broker a deal between the events and the FIA in an attempt to avoid a developing crisis between the two parties.
There is disquiet among rally organisers after the FIA presented a single-year contract for 2013, and requested an extra 100,000 euro per event for the timing, tracking and television production. In previous years, the timing and tracking was provided for free by the promoter in return for the individual events handing over their television rights. Former promoter North One Sport also paid each event 25,000 euro.
The timing and tracking in the WRC is provided by Stage One Technology and the firm's managing director de Banke is concerned at the rift between the rallies and the sport's governing body.
"The FIA's predicament is entirely understandable," said de Banke. "The money has to come from somewhere. The way forward now is to find a solution together which lessens the burden on the events. For our part, we're happy to consider stepping in to work something out."
He added: "We've been timing and safety-tracking the WRC for over 10 years, and we're all currently facing some challenging times. The FIA needs support this year, as do the events. Everyone, including us, has to compromise and stick together."
Despite these troubled times for the WRC, de Banke remains optimistic about the future.
"The World Rally Championship is at the foot of one of its most exciting periods in its history," he said. "We all need to remain pragmatic and work through these issues as a group.
"We'll be speaking with the events and FIA to establish the best way for us to help. If that means some investment from us in the short-term, then I certainly wouldn't rule that out."

DayZ development team, "effectively doubling the whole project," the studio writes in an update on Tumblr.
Bohemia is currently focused on fixing key bugs and starting work on new features, and last week it began developing a cooking system inspired by The Indie Stone's Project Zomboid. Players place food in a stove or fireplace, where it cooks or turns into edible things such as soup, and the items can become overcooked or cold. March signals a focus on survival mechanics, Bohemia says.
DayZ creator and project leader, Dean Hall, plans to leave Bohemia Interactive by the end of the year to start his own studio in New Zealand. The team expansion and Hall's departure announcement are unrealated, Bohemia tells Polygon.
"I have a specific use," Hall said in last week's announcement. "I'm really good at risk-taking and making other people take risks, I've always been good at that in my life. But eventually, that's the bad person to have. Eventually, you don't want the guy telling you to go over the top and get through. So at some point I'll be a disaster for the project, at least in a leadership role."

Last midwife's visit?
I'll be 39 weeks tomorrow. If this baby were Zari, it would have been born almost a week ago. And if it were Dio, it would be born tomorrow. After having two babies come "early," I have a bit more of an expectation that this baby will also be born shy of 40 weeks. And so does almost everyone who knows me. I am getting really tired of people asking me, "So how are you feeling?" Umm, tired but otherwise just the same as last time you asked!
My next midwife's visit is scheduled for Wednesday of next week (40.1 weeks). Will I go that long? Who knows...
22 comments:
FWIW, My two oldest were both born at 39 weeks two days. My third waited until 40 weeks 6 days! I thought I was going to lose my mind! She came on her own schedule, though, and that's always a blessing. Hugs and love!ReplyDelete
Just embrace the belly! I just keep assuming I will go late, so there isn't much disappointment when friends run into me and see that I am still pregnant.ReplyDelete
Today I went on a long walk along the Charles with a friend and then scrubbed the floors in my apartment, hoping to induce labor. No dice.
the trend in our family is that each baby is born later than the last - it's not a bad thing, just not what everyone expects. Here's to the rest of your pregnancy!ReplyDelete
Wow... I am way behind... I didn't even know you were expecting!!!ReplyDelete
btw... if you were me you would still have 3 weeks to go :)

I say you should hold out for the 20th...I don't have any birthday buddy babies yet!!
All three of my boys were born one day shy of 39 weeks. When that date came and went with my daughter, I was admittedly a bit put out. She waited several more days, but still came before 40 weeks. Hopefully we'll be hearing baby news very soon from you! :)ReplyDelete
Rixa, how are you feeling?ReplyDelete
How's that for how I am feeling?
Just kidding, I feel pretty much the same as always.

Great to hear everyone's experiences with timing. Here's mine:ReplyDelete

#3- 39 wks 3 days, 2 hr labor, 7 min delivery.
Ya just never know! But I wish you all the luck in the world and I can't wait to see pics ASAP!
That is sooo funny!!! Normally it's the opposite, going over due date with the first and then a bit shorter bake time each time. Let's see, I am guessing you will go into labor in 5 days on the 19th.ReplyDelete
Hold out and join the 43 weeker club! It's a party, I'll tell you. :)ReplyDelete
My first two were on the early side... my last one was 42.5 weeks - and that only happened b/c I choose to break my own waters! (I was desperate b/c the contractions wouldn't move past immensely painful for weeks!)ReplyDelete
Almost there! I'm so excited for you guys.ReplyDelete
Whenever the baby comes, it will be perfect! I'm so excited for you and can't wait for your announcement and birth story!ReplyDelete
The questions get more tiresome the longer the baby decides to take... My #1 was 11 days "overdue," #2 = 14 days, and #3 = 17 days. I'm trying to prepare myself to be calm and kind if this one follows his/her sibling's patter of enjoying the womb... but, really, it's not easy. I hope you will NOT have to experience that particular kind of fatigue of pregnancy!ReplyDelete
Changing the voice mail answer to update callers was REALLY helpful. I just turned the ringer off and let the voice mail tell the news for me... until just after baby #3 was born. SUCH a relief, I tell you! ^_^ AND my callers were so thankful for the news without bothering me! ^_^

Sending birth-y thoughts that you don't join the post-dates club. "How are you feeling?" gets real old. "Have you tried (fill in the blank inevitably ridiculous suggestion)? gets even older. Oh, and "When are they going to induce you?" Aargh!ReplyDelete
When I was close to my due date with both my kids people at work and church kept asking, "You're STILL pregnant??" I wanted to say, "No, the real me had the baby. What you're seeing is just a hologram!" Can't wait to hear your birth story & see photos of your new little one!ReplyDelete
I don't mind the how are you doing comments-I figure people geniunely want to know for the most part. What drives me up the wall is people telling me I look 'great' pregnant-how on earth is that possible? I'm tired so I hardly ever take the time to do my unruly curly hair, and I have exactly one pregnancy dress so I've worn the same outfit to church for about 14 weeks in a row. I guess it just feels superficial to me.ReplyDelete
I so hope I have this baby around 38 weeks-I'm stuck with a doctor at the hospital so avoiding induction could become a challenge if the pregnancy goes on and on. The earlier she gets here the better (within reason of course).

The Market Potential for a St Lawrence-Max Container Ship
About a year ago, Montreal maritime officials declared that post-Panamax ships were cleared to sail the St Lawrence River to the Port of Montreal. This vessel class could usefully also be defined as St Lawrence-Max, a class that will definitely sail between Europe and Montreal but rarely, if ever, sail the Panama Canal.
Lower St Lawrence River
The Lower St Lawrence River between Port of Montreal and Gulf of St Lawrence has allowed passage to ships of 10-meter (33-foot) fresh water draft for several years, given overhead bridge clearances of 52 meters (170 feet) and a channel width of 42 meters (140 feet). Panamax ships that nominally sailed a draft of 12 meters and beam of 32.3 meters carried 5,000 TEUs. If the destination was Port of Montreal, ships sailed an equivalent fresh water draft of 10 meters carrying 4,100 TEUs.
About a year ago, Canada's national transportation department recognized the precise navigation capability of computer directed bow and stern thrusters. By bestowing such recognition, Transport Canada declared that "Post-Panamax ships of 44 meters (144 feet) beam could sail the Lower St Lawrence River to the Port of Montreal." However, the vessels will be restricted to the old 10-meter fresh water draft and overhead bridge clearances of 52 meters. Maritime researchers have declared that the vessel could carry 6,000 TEUs or half the capacity of Neo-Panamax ships that sail via the Panama Canal.
Canada – European trade accounts for almost 50 percent of the maritime container traffic that is handled by Port of Montreal, a factor that could justify construction of the St Lawrence-Max container ship.
Market for the Ship
The Port of Montreal operates both container and bulk terminals. During its operating season, the St Lawrence Seaway transits mainly Seaway-max size bulk carriers carrying freight from ports located around the Great Lakes and Seaway to Montreal's bulk terminals. Future trans-Atlantic bulk ships that sail between Montreal and European ports could carry one-third greater payload than an earlier generation of trans-Atlantic bulk carriers.
In terms of container traffic, an increase from 4,100 TEUs to 5,600 TEUs between main European ports such as Antwerp/Rotterdam and Port of Montreal enhances trans-Atlantic ship transportation economics.
The St Lawrence-Max container ship has potential to serve as an interline vessel connecting Montreal to east coast American ports as well as Western Mediterranean ports. A 13,000- TEU Neo-Panamax ship sailing from an East Asian port could carry a combined load of containers destined for both Montreal and southeastern America port. While 7,400-TEU would be unloaded at the American port, the remaining Montreal-bound 5,600-TEU would be transferred to a Montreal bound St Lawrence-Max vessel. A 20,000-TEU ship sailing from Asia to Europe could transfer 5,600-TEU to a Montreal-bound St Lawrence-Max ship at a Southwestern Mediterranean port.
Domestic Canadian Interlining
Plans are underway in Nova Scotia for a terminal capable of servicing Suezmax container ships of up to 20,000 TEUs. These ships could sail to east coast North America from any of several Asian container ports that include Kerala (Southwestern India), Colombo (Sri Lanka), Singapore or the trio of container super ports at and near Hong Kong. St Lawrence-Max container ships could interline with the oceanic giants at eastern Nova Scotia and take on containers destined for Port of Montreal as well as the Port of Boston, which would require modifications to port cranes in order to service the wider ship.
Maritime transport has the potential to offer very competitive rates for low-priority containers, courtesy of s 2008 – 2010 study by Sea Point Group of New Orleans comparing railway versus maritime container rates between Ports of Long Beach and Memphis. Despite a ship sailing three times the distance via the Panama Canal, maritime transport incurred savings of some $2,000 per container.
There is identical distance by rail and by ship between Eastern Nova Scotia and Montreal as well as shorter maritime distance than railway distance between Eastern Nova Scotia and Boston. Along both links, maritime transport would offer competitive transit times.
Winter Challenges
The Canadian winter could impose restrictions on the operation of ships that sail a beam of 44 meters along the Lower St Lawrence River. During winter, a mixture of snow and water, known as frazzle, covers sections of the river and adheres to the bow and sides of ships, requiring additional propulsive power. Winter ice cover on the Gulf of St Lawrence has previously impeded ship traffic and could pose a greater problem to a ship sailing a 44-meter beam. The wider ship would be at greater risk of getting stuck in the ice on the Gulf of St Lawrence.
River Bow Wave
Ships that sail any kind of speed generate a bow wave, and along narrow inland waterways, bow waves cause coastal erosion. Imposing speed restrictions along inland waterways reduces the height of the bow wave and resulting coastal erosion. A vessel that is both wide and deep will have to sail at reduced speed along narrow inland waterways so as to minimize the bow wave. As a result, a 44-meter beam vessel sailing a 10-meter draft along the Lower St Lawrence River will have to sail at reduced speed compared to now obsolete Panamax size vessels.
An American research group has been evaluating a hull design that redirects the bow wave beneath the hull. Sailing along the Lower Mississippi River, the concept hull is believed to generate a residual bow wave of less than two inches. While such a concept hull would be applicable along narrow inland waterways, its sailing capability on the open ocean is unknown. It is unclear yet whether aspects of the concept hull could be included in the design of a vessel with a 44-meter beam and 9.4-meter fresh water draft.
There is the prospect of competition from the older generation of Panamax ships that is now becoming obsolete. Many are being scrapped or being sold at scrap value prices. However, using the precedent developed by Crowley Maritime, it may be possible to convert a pair of such ships into coupled barges that could sail between Montreal and Eastern Nova Scotia, navigated by a coordinated combination of bow and stern tugs using computer navigation. The combination could carry over 8,000 TEUs at competitive rates into Port of Montreal, dividing at the port to be berthed at different terminals.
Outside of storms, wave heights on the Gulf of St Lawrence usually remain at 1.5 meters. That wave height enhances the ability for coupled barge trains to sail between Eastern Nova Scotia and the mouth of the Lower St Lawrence River.
Crowley Maritime has developed ocean capable tug-barges that are equivalent in beam to older generation Panamax ships and capable of sailing through seas with 20-foot waves. During stormy weather, barges would have to sail as individual vessels with each being pushed and navigated by an independent tug. However, such operation would be comparatively rare with coupled barges being the norm.
Coupled 44-Meter Beam Ship
Research has for many years focused on the concept of articulated or coupled oceanic ships. Historically, there was a time when the idea of coupled vessels sailing along an inland waterway, was dismissed. However, now coupled trains of barges of up to 40 units actually sail along the Southern Mississippi River between Memphis and New Orleans, with coupled trains of 12 barges sailing upriver of Memphis. Several years ago, maritime researchers at University of Michigan examined the possibility of a two-section coupled vessel that could possibly sail on North America's the Upper Great Lakes. Tug-barges do sail on the Upper Great Lakes as well as North American domestic ocean coastal services.
A theoretical two-section coupled container vessel built to a 44-meter beam, 9.4 to 10 meter fresh water draft and an overall length of the largest oil tankers could carry 8,400 to 9,000 TEUs. The American maritime consultant and researcher Paul Pollinger has evaluated many concept vessels capable of both inland and oceanic service. Further research would be needed to evaluate the possibilities for a 44-meter beam, coupled vessel of 500 meters length sailing to Montreal.
International Service
While several major international ports have been dredged and modified to service deep-draft container ships, many other ports remain unchanged and can only berth the older Panamax ships. The list includes ports such as Boston (USA), Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, several African Atlantic ports, Sub-Saharan Africa's busiest port at Durban that experiences ongoing silt build up problems, Maputo, Dar es Salaam, Mombasa and several Indian ports. Extended reach cranes could service Panamax ships widened from 32.3 meters to either 42 or 44 meters at the aforementioned ports.
Coupled two-section versions of the Panamax ship could carry 10,000 TEU sailing a draft of 12 meters. The combination of a forward bridge near the bow and additional beam could allow the coupled ship to carry an additional level of containers, perhaps raising its capacity to over 12,000 TEUs sailing a draft of 13 meters. If destined for northeastern North America, a partial unloading of containers to an accompanying Panamax ship assigned to domestic service would be required at Nova Scotia for the coupled ship to continue sailing to either Montreal or Boston.
The City of Montreal seeks to maintain its status as an international maritime port, hence the clearance being granted for 44-meter beam ships with computer assisted navigation that includes bow and stern thrusters, to sail along the Lower St Lawrence River.
There is an international market application for 44-meter beam by 10-meter draft ships, both container ships and bulk carriers, along the North American east coast to sail into unmodified ports capable of berthing Panamax ships. Such ports would require extended reach cranes to service 44-meter beam container ships.
44-meter beam ships could operate domestic North American interlined container service from super-port in Eastern Nova Scotia. After a 21-day ocean voyage from Asia, an interlined maritime connection to Montreal would involve 24 days total transit time compared to 23 days total transit time for the more expensive interlined railway connection.
The Canadian winter will impose operation problems on 44-meter beam ships sailing across Gulf of St Lawrence and Lower St Lawrence River. Based on precedent, an articulated two-section version of an ocean capable 44-meter beam ship with a 10-meter draft may be technically possible.

Explain the unusual aspects of "The Fall of the House of Usher" that make it stylistically so different from Poe's other stories—fascinating fans and scholars.

To understand what so sets Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher" apart from other works of the time, we should consider the kind of literature that was popular then.
At a time when most popular literature was highly moralistic, Poe's stories were concerned only with creating emotional effects.
Poe felt that most writers concentrated on making "religious or political statements," but sacrificed the integrity of the writing in doing so. Poe wasn't interested in preaching or conveying a theme. He entertained his readers. The emotional response he garnered was not based on high intrigue or a devastating love affair gone wrong. He focused on stories that evoked fear, terror and confusion: for his characters were often insane—
[Poe wrote] tales of terror, in which he often depicted the psychological disintegration of unstable or emotionally overwrought characters...
Poe was not acknowledged by his peers for his divergent literary path. However, the short story became an acceptable literary form. Poe's artistry is clear in his ability to tell a complete story with "horrific" results in so few pages.
"The Fall of the House of Usher" has hallmark elements of Poe's work: the hint of insanity, obsession, gloom, premonitions of evil— and the foreshadowing of disaster (which is complete as the house seems to destroy itself at the end). However, one aspect of this story that I believe stands out from the rest—which reflects a popular fear of Poe's time—is the fear of being buried alive. Because medical science had not advanced far enough to detect the subtle presence of life, it was not unusual that someone had been buried before death:
One of Edgar Allan Poe's horror stories, "The Premature Burial", is about a person suffering from taphophobia.
This fear was so prevalent at the time that special coffins or methods of alerting the living above ground were invented and implemented to stop mistaken burial:
A safety coffin or security coffin is a coffin fitted with a mechanism to prevent premature burial or allow the occupant to signal that he/ she has been buried alive.
Victorians have been noted to have had a heightened fear of such an event, and many took precautions to prevent such a horrible fate. While some state that actual "premature burials" have been exaggerated, others cite events documented as early as the 14th Century.
Of course, other aspects of this story that may horrify and also fascinate include inferences to long-standing inbreeding and incest, which may be responsible for Roderick Usher's illness as well as his sister's illness and impending death—at which point Roderick will be "the last of the ancient race of the Ushers." A similar "closeness" may exist between Roderick and Madeline, his...
...tenderly beloved sister—his sole companion for long years—his last and only relative on earth.
Madeline seems to be ghost-like or one already dead—in more modern contexts, the question has been asked: was she a vampire?
...the lady Madeline...passed slowly through a remote portion of the apartment, and, without having noticed my presence, disappeared.
The ultimate horror reflects her premature burial. First her brother's fear...
We have put her living in the tomb!
...and then, the actuality...
...there did stand the lofty and enshrouded figure of the lady Madeline of Usher...
These elements make the story eerily fascinating even today.
